Kiana: Sorry, Maybe I Came at a Bad Time (4k)
But the Queen of the Void knew that this emotion was not disgust, but a deeper, more ingrained feeling.
Perhaps this man before her had another identity before becoming her relative?
The Queen of the Void was puzzled, but now was clearly not the time to discuss this.
"Ah, change here?" Chen Li looked up at the dark space.
This is Kiana's consciousness space. The Miraculous Forging Guide is indeed amazing, allowing Chen Li's physical body to exist in this consciousness space in a special form after he transmigrated here.
The physical body and consciousness are in Quantum Superposition!
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No problem, but do you really not need me to go back first?" Chen Li asked considerately.
"No need. You're not allowed to go anywhere!" The restless emotions within her compelled the Queen of the Void to utter words she herself didn't understand.
It seemed as if the boy in front of them would never reappear once he disappeared.
"Okay, okay, no problem." Chen Li nodded repeatedly, then turned his head away.
"..." The Queen of the Void looked at Chen Li's back standing not far away, then turned and walked towards her wardrobe.
Deep within Kiana's consciousness, it was Chen Li's continuous donations of supplies that added considerable brilliance to this eternal darkness.
Before encountering Chen Li, it was all darkness. Apart from the beam of light overhead that allowed the Herrscher of the Void to sense Kiana's activities outside, the rest of the area was like an eternally tranquil deep sea.
The Herrscher of the Void only wanted to hide in this light until these items, enough to illuminate the Queen of the Void's heart, appeared one by one, giving Queen of the Void the courage to Trailblaze the darkness.
Countless items were laid out there. The Queen of the Void walked to the wardrobe, looked at the messy pile of items, and began to search through them.
Where did I put my favorite outfit?
After finally finding her favorite outfit, the Queen of the Void glanced at Chen Li standing not far away, bit her lower lip, and gently pulled the edge of the lace-up swimsuit with her fingers.
The Queen of the Void didn't understand why every time she saw Chen Li, it had a profound impact on her emotions, but since things had come to this, she decided to change her clothes first.
However, when the Herrscher of the Void was changing clothes, she sensed a boy of the same age standing not far away with his back to her. As a result, the constant, restless heartbeat that she was generating was not swallowed up by the darkness, but instead became more pronounced in the silence.
"Sirin, don't panic! What kind of big scene haven't you seen! That Chen Li isn't a succubus! He's just your familiar! Don't embarrass yourself in front of your familiar! Although that familiar does have some charm..." The Queen comforted herself while changing her clothes.
But instead of calming the restlessness, it sparked another kind of yearning that seemed to come from nowhere.
Capture him! Keep him captive, make him inseparable from you forever!
The Queen of the Void's restless state made her movements frantic, and changing her already somewhat complicated clothes became even more of a headache...
"I remember I was training the Sky Maiden towards the direction of the Spring Spirit, and the training progress seemed to be going well just now, so why did she suddenly become irritable again?" Chen Li was puzzled as he listened to the sound of clothes rubbing against skin that was very obvious in the darkness not far behind him.
[Although I'm not a professional strategy guide, I think it might be because of the deepest impression you left on me within the Herrscher of the Void Core. Why don't you think about what you did when you said goodbye to Sirin at the end?]
The Pixie provided plenty of helpful advice this time!
"What did you do?" Chen Li tilted his head.
Chen Li remembered that he hadn't done anything special, except perhaps create a Parallel World for Sirin where all the victims of the second Honkai 3rd, including Sirin, could be happy.
Then...
Then Chen Li said goodbye to Sirin, declaring that they would never see each other again.
"Thinking back on it carefully, it does seem a bit excessive at the time, but wasn't my anchor point taken away by the Judgment of All Things as a price during the Second Honkai?"
But Sirin, the most important anchor point, was clearly an exception.
The Herrscher Core in the Current Civilization has the function of recording Remembrance and emotions. The Remembrance generated are taken away, but the emotions are not erased.
Just like Welt might wake up in the middle of the night when he sees Chen Li wearing the Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit again, feeling like something with grooves is chasing him!
Because the Judgment of All Things only takes away people's Remembrance of Chen Li, but not the facts caused by Chen Li.
And emotions are part of the facts!
In other words, because of the Herrscher Core's ability to record emotions, Chen Li's progress in winning over Sirin was inherited by the Queen of the Void and Kiana.
Especially the Queen of the Void!
Kiana's soul was nurtured with kindness and started from scratch, while the Queen of the Void received all of Sirin's Remembrance and intense emotions, so she was more deeply affected by her.
The Pixie knows everything, but the Pixie doesn't say it.
The Pixie wanted to use the information gap to show Chen Li what a true strategy master is!
Don't blame me for being despicable, Chen Li!
I'm going to make you admit that although I'm not a professional strategy guide system, I'm better than one!
"Ugh, this is so annoying!" Just as Chen Li realized he had missed something and was about to seize that fleeting inspiration, the Queen of the Void's angry voice rang out.
"What's wrong, Your Queen!"
"It's all your fault! Why did you have to appear in human form! Now I'm so confused! This outfit is hard to put on! Come here! Help me get dressed!"
"Huh? Me?"
"Yes, is there something you're unhappy about changing my clothes, Your Queen?"
"No, not at all..." The Queen of the Void had said this much, so Chen Li could only turn his head and see the girl who was holding clothes, but which could not cover her snow-white skin at all, making her even more dazzling in the darkness.
Coupled with her face flushed, perhaps from anger, Chen Li felt that things weren't going in the right direction.
"Come here! Or are you not confident you can get me dressed?"
"Here we are. So, Your Queen, where shall we begin our attire?"
"Underwear, of course! Serve me well!"
Yes, yes, yes.
"Don't be so clumsy! You weren't thinking about someone else while you were changing my clothes, were you?"
"Yes, yes, yes... Of course not!"
"... Why are you so skilled? Were you just faking your clumsy touch earlier?"
"How could that be? I just learn things very quickly!"
"Family member, you seem to be staring at my legs..."
"I'm just trying to avoid looking directly at your body, Your Queen."
"Want to touch it?"
"Really?... Wait, Your Queen, which one do you mean?"
In the darkness, the voices of the Queen of the Void and Chen Li arguing could be heard, but given the hazy darkness, these seemingly normal arguments appeared somewhat abnormal, more like... flirting.
As we all know, darkness can breed not only risks, but also feelings.
Chapter 226 Kiana: I'm sorry, maybe I came at the wrong time (4k)
"That damned Kiana!" The Queen of the Void's hatred for Kiana reached its peak at this moment!
Even when she was alone in this almost pitch-black space of consciousness, except for a single beam of light, the Queen of the Void was never this angry when she saw Kiana "recognizing a thief as her father".
"Spring Spirit, great Spring Spirit, please grant me your favor, I beg you!" Kiana's murmurs echoed continuously in this dark space.
What was originally a pleasant sound to the Queen of the Void now sounded like the caring words of a teacher who had performed Miracle with a pen on the last day of winter break and said they wouldn't collect the homework since none of us had done it; or like the expectant look in a classmate's eyes when they offered you a 30% discount coupon after you paid for the meal, and asked you to give them a 20% discount in return...
Does it seem malicious? Absolutely malicious!
Seeing Kiana sitting in front of a beautiful girl in the sky, praying for the Herrscher of the Spring to appear, the Queen of the Void had already dressed and was about to undress, was furious and picked up a brick and threw it into the sky.
He actually interrupted my attempt to pick up men just to pick up a woman!
Kiana, how could you be so mean!
If the Queen of the Void was nurturing her feelings for Chen Li in the hazy darkness, then Kiana's murmurs were like turning on all the lights in the room when the emotions reached their climax!
That's terrible!
As one of the stars in Kiana's consciousness space dimmed, the brick that the Herrscher of the Void had thrown into the sky pierced straight through the constantly playing footage, its whereabouts unknown.
Chen Li recognized that the stars dotting the dark sky were actually marbles that Chen Li had given to the Queen of the Void.
The beads formed by bullet comments are called marbles for short.
And they are all Yakumo Yukari marbles.
Every chat message that Yakumo Yukari posted on her Friends Circle transformed into the stars above the Queen of the Void's head.
It makes one sigh... Yakumo Yukari is just too talkative in the Miraculous Item group, isn't she?
Yakumo Yukari's bullets possess her unique characteristics, one of which is to break down the boundary between the virtual and the real, bringing things from the realm of consciousness into reality!
"Mei, look!" Kiana exclaimed excitedly as she saw the familiar crack reappear in front of her.
"Are there really Spring Spirits?" The girl next to Kiana couldn't help but open her mouth wide as she looked at the spatial rift that appeared out of nowhere, appearing extremely cute and adorable.
"I told you, I wasn't lying to you. The great Spring Spirit can conjure up lots of delicious snacks! It always helps me a little when I'm in the most difficult times. Mei, you've filled my stomach so many times before, now it's my turn to help you!" Kiana said energetically.
However, the next moment, a brick flew out from the gap and hit Kiana on the forehead.
Although the brick's momentum wasn't strong enough to cause any real damage to the tough-skinned Kiana,... well... if you were sitting on your bed scrolling through videos and your phone slipped and hit you in the face, you'd understand how Kiana would feel.
People are different; some people might even break their noses if a phone falls on their face.
Although the food Kiana was looking forward to didn't appear as expected, the comical scene left Raiden Mei, who was already feeling down, both amused and exasperated, but then she immediately showed concern.
Kiana, are you alright?
"It's okay, don't worry. It doesn't hurt." Kiana casually placed the brick on the bench next to her and then rubbed her forehead.
"Is this Spring Spirit... really reliable?" Raiden Mei carefully examined Kiana's face, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there were indeed no wounds.
"They've always been reliable...maybe I called at the wrong time this time? My gut tells me I just interrupted something very important to them. I can feel their anger coming from this brick," Kiana said.
Kiana's intuition is quite accurate.
Although she didn't know what good thing she had interrupted, Kiana still felt a little guilty.
The Spring Spirit is such a kind person; Wish Granting except for this one!
Not only did I have no way to repay the other party, but I also disturbed their good time.
I'm so mean!
"I'm so sorry, Spring Spirit. If I've disturbed anything good for you, please don't take it to heart. It was unintentional. Please forgive me." Kiana clasped her hands together and kept muttering to herself.
"..." Seeing Kiana sincerely apologizing on the screen, and glancing at Chen Li beside her whose expression was gradually changing, the Queen of the Void was even more furious.
Please, please stop talking!
"Interesting, Kiana's intuition is quite accurate," Chen Li said with interest.
"What do you mean 'accurate'? I'm just annoyed that she's bothering me while I'm getting dressed! I haven't had any good things disturbed by her, so don't overthink it," the Queen of the Void said unhappily.
"But Your Queen, you're already dressed."
"None of your business!"
"Alright, alright, I don't care. So Queen, are you finished dressing?"
"That's about it. What's wrong?" The Queen of the Void looked herself over and felt there was nothing wrong with her clothes.
The Queen of the Void was covered in white, gold and purple clothing. White symbolized the pure power of the Herrscher, gold accents highlighted the sense of holiness, and purple gave her a mysterious and noble atmosphere. Her long legs were wrapped in black over-the-knee stockings, which cinched her thighs with a little bit of flesh.
Upon seeing the Queen of the Void's attire, Chen Li seemed to hear the words "Long live the Queen" echoing in his ears.
"Are you ready to leave?"
"Leave? Go where?" The Queen was taken aback.
"Of course it's outside." Chen Li pointed to the sky, to the outside world, which was different from this rather dark consciousness space, and presented a bright sunlight, a clear sky, and a beautiful girl.
"Now? Do you have a way to make me take control of Kiana's body?"
"No, it's not that. It's about making you materialize directly from the virtual world, heading towards the blue sky of the future. Just like when you throw a brick at Kiana, this time you'll be the one thrown!" Chen Li shook his head.
"You have this ability?"
"I don't have that ability, but I have a friend..."
When Chen Li said that she had a friend, it wasn't that Chen Li wanted to fabricate her own situation to describe her friend; Chen Li really did have a friend.
