Of course.

Cecilia smiled and said, "Kiana is very obedient. When she's hungry, she'll go get the milk I've prepared in advance. And I usually don't leave Kiana alone at home. Occasionally, I'll take her with me when I need to go out."

"I see..."

Ling Xi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Taking care of a child... to be honest, it's quite tiring!

Moreover, at the end of the Second Honkai War, Cecilia and Siegfried were both on the battlefield, while Kiana was alone at home, and her parents were almost killed by Otto!

Damn, the more I think about it, the angrier I get! No way, once this incident is over, I have to go and beat up that bastard, or my Sword Heart will be shattered and my Dao heart will collapse!

"Ling Xi, please sit wherever you like, make yourself at home."

Cecilia hugged Kiana while smilingly greeting Ling Xi, "Don't be shy, after all, you're my daughter's boyfriend."

As she spoke, Cecilia still held up Kiana in her hand...

Ling Xi: "..." Please stop talking, okay...

"Ha, okay, that's enough joking around."

Cecilia sat down on the living room sofa with Kiana in her arms and smiled, "I didn't come to see you for anything else, I just wanted to meet you and chat with you a bit. After all, I'm also a little curious about someone like Sirin who cares so much about her."

"Sirin ..."

Ling Xi paused for a moment, seemingly curious, because according to the timeline, Sirin and Cecilia should not have met at this point in time, although Cecilia, as one of the only two Valkyrie of Schicksal, would meet Sirin sooner or later.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean anything by it, and besides..."

Cecilia smiled slightly and said, "I already know about what happened last night, and I believe that Sirin didn't do it."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Ling Xi became even more curious, and even a little suspicious. After all, Cecilia and Sirin didn't know each other, so how could Cecilia possibly believe Sirin?

Besides, even if Sirin didn't cause any more trouble, the fact that hundreds of researchers in the Babylon Laboratory died at Sirin's hands is undeniable. Therefore, Ling Xi was very curious as to why Cecilia would believe Sirin for no reason.

"Actually, you don't need to be curious,"

Sitting on the sofa, Cecilia sipped her hot water and smiled, "After all, I've chatted with Sirin for a while, so I know that Sirin's personality isn't bad; in fact, she's kind of cute."

"Huh? What? You've met Sirin before?"

Ling Xi was also a little confused. What the hell? Cecilia and Sirin had already met?

And judging from Cecilia's words, the two even chatted for a while. How come they didn't fight?

Um... okay, all the Valkyrie from Schicksal could potentially fight if they met the original Sirin, but Cecilia is the only exception. After all... the Sirin of this timeline has her own existence, so her personality isn't as extreme yet. Plus, her mother-in-law's gentleness is practically overflowing from the screen... um...

It's not hard to understand why these two can chat peacefully!

Thinking of this, Ling Xi couldn't help but sigh. If it had been Cecilia instead of Old Yang who came to find Sirin in the first place, then probably none of this nonsense would have happened. Old Yang, can't you learn from him?

(At this moment, the door of a medical pod at the Anti-Entropy Headquarters was shaking violently.)

"Yes."

Cecilia smiled slightly and said, "It was yesterday morning, on Starshine Street in the capital of Shenzhou. I saw her lingering by a cake shop for a while, but in the end she didn't use the power of the Herrscher to obtain it. Instead, she turned around and left. That's when I White Sirin wasn't a bad girl."

Yesterday... Xinghui Street...

Ling Xi suddenly remembered something; Sirin had only returned around noon yesterday morning, and Xinghui Street...

That was a place I often went to for shopping in Sirin, and there was indeed a cake shop there.

However, Ling Xi didn't understand part of what Cecilia had just said...

"Why did Sirin stand outside the cake shop for so long? If she wanted to eat it, she should have come back to me, right?"

Ling Xi was somewhat puzzled by this. After all, with Sirin's abilities and Bebedragon's flying speed, she could easily return home to find him if she wanted to eat, and there were already cakes bought in advance at home.

"Because... she was too scared to go home at the time."

Cecilia chuckled again, "Yesterday when I was chatting with Sirin, she told me some things, and at the end she said that she had hurt someone who cared about her, and was afraid that the person would be angry, so..."

"She stayed outside alone for a long time, just spacing out, but she never chose to go home."

Ling Xi "..."

Hearing this, Ling Xi fell silent. She hadn't expected that the girl had already returned from the moon, but was too afraid to come back because of what happened that night.

However, Ling Xi could understand Sirin's feelings at the time. If she were in Xi Lin's shoes, she probably wouldn't have felt comfortable coming back either, but...

In the end Sirin returned, and this...

Ling Xi suddenly realized something and glanced at Cecilia silently, because... if she wasn't mistaken, Sirin was very likely persuaded to come back by Cecilia.

Chapter 634 Aerial Flare, Shigure Kira.

"Thank you, Lady Cecilia."

Thinking of this, Ling Xi thanked Cecilia with great gratitude. No wonder she was curious yesterday about why Sirin had returned so quickly and didn't mention anything about what happened that night!

I thought Sirin had finally seen the light, but now I realize that if it weren't for Cecilia, Sirin might still be here.

Therefore, Ling Xi's gratitude towards Cecilia is heartfelt.

Furthermore, since Cecilia had already met Sirin yesterday, Cecilia clearly knew Sirin's identity beforehand. Yet, under these circumstances, Cecilia still chose to coexist peacefully with Sirin. This is...

It's estimated that this only happens to a very few Valkyrie like Cecilia.

"You are welcome."

Cecilia shook her head at this. "While I did manage to persuade Sirin, the more important thing is Sirin's own feelings. If Sirin isn't interested, then no amount of persuasion will have any effect, so..."

At this point, Cecilia smiled at Ling Xi and said, "You were the most important factor in the peaceful resolution of Sirin's matter, without exception."

"Eh... hehe, probably."

Ling Xi did not deny Cecilia's statement, after all, it was the truth!

Even with Cecilia's best efforts, without her intervention, Cecilia couldn't change Sirin's fate, after all...

The only way to solve Sirin's problem is to address the root cause!

"So, Ling Xi, you'd better not be a womanizer."

Cecilia smiled and looked at Ling Xi, "Now that you have a girlfriend like Sirin, don't try to get close to my daughter anymore. Although I don't really mind, but... Ling Xi, you don't want the Honkai War to break out again, do you?"

Ling Xi: "..." Mother-in-law, please calm down...

"Team leader!"

Suddenly, the door opened, and a girl in a white dress, white fur, and black stockings rushed in.

Ling Xi looked at the other person, and this was... well, that's right, it was none other than Shigure Kira one who started the rumors about her father-in-law!

"It's Qiluo. What can I do for you?"

Cecilia smiled and looked at Shigure Kira, asking her why she had come.

"Hmm? Ling Xi?"

However, Shigure Kira did not answer Cecilia's question immediately. Instead, she looked at Ling Xi with some surprise. She knew Ling Xi's identity very well, and...

According to known information, Ling Xi's combat power is in no way weaker than the leader of Anti-Entropy, and even reaches the level of S-rank Valkyrie, although this is largely because Ling Xi wields two Divine Key!

At the same time, because of Ling Xi's relationship with Sirin, Shigure Kira subconsciously felt a sense of wariness towards Ling Xi. But this couldn't be blamed on her; as a Valkyrie, her duty was to fight against the Honkai. As for Cecilia...

That's a very special existence.

"Yes, it's me."

Looking at one of the characters she had hoped to join the ship but ultimately didn't, Ling Xi smiled and waved, "Good evening, Ms. Shigure Kira."

What are you doing at the captain's house?

Shigure Kira wasn't surprised that Ling Xi knew her name; what she was more curious about was why Ling Xi was at the captain's house.

"I invited Ling Xi to be my guest."

Cecilia smiled again and said, "Qiluo, sit down too. Let's talk about it slowly."

"Yes, Captain..."

Seeing that Ling Xi was invited by Cecilia, Shigure Kira didn't say anything more and sat down next to Ling Xi, saying, "Captain, it's like this, we might have a combat operation tonight, and the Anti-Entropy forces will also be involved, so..."

As she spoke, Shigure Kira glanced at Kiana silently, her meaning already quite clear.

"Okay, I understand."

Cecilia simply nodded without saying anything more, and smiled, "Don't worry about me, I'll be ready."

"Hmm... alright then."

At this Shigure Kira was also somewhat helpless. Kiana was only one year old, but Lady Cecilia had already launched an attack!

But there's nothing we can do about it. Right now, the top combat power of Schicksal consists of two S-rank Valkyrie and six A-rank Valkyrie. Among them, the Wolfpack Squad has a configuration of 1 S-rank and 5 A-rank Valkyries, so they are undoubtedly the top combat power of Schicksal!

As for the other S-class Theresa, Theresa, she is still in Siberia. At this point, one of them may have already arrived in Shenzhou. Tonight, they are responsible for the areas of Asia and Oceania, while the Schicksal Headquarters can only rely on the remaining S-rank Valkyrie, Cecilia.

"Then, Captain, I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, Shigure Kira was about to leave. After all, it was almost ten o'clock. If she could hurry up, Cecilia might be able to rest for a while, and she also had to put Kiana to sleep beforehand.

"I should go back now."

Ling Xi also stood up. Although she did want to chat with Cecilia a little longer, it was already quite late, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would be launching an attack tonight, so Ling Xi didn't want to disturb them any further.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Cecilia didn't try to stop her, and said with a smile, "Ling Xi, remember to come visit me more often when you have time. Oh, and bring Sirin along too."

"Okay, I'll definitely bring Sirin to visit you another day."

Ling Xi certainly wouldn't refuse. After all, letting Sirin and Cecilia talk more would obviously be more beneficial than harmful. Maybe as they talked, Sirin would stop hating humans. Well... of course, it might be a little difficult to get her to stop hating Schicksal!

Afterwards, Shigure Kira and Ling Xi left Cecilia's house one after the other, and closed the door behind them.

When did you meet the captain?

As they walked along the road, Shigure Kira also looked at Ling Xi with curiosity.

"To be honest, we know each other..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "I may have known Cecilia for a long time, but if we're talking about meeting, it should have been about fifteen minutes ago."

"I see..."

Shigure Kira nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "Then... what do you think of the captain?"

"Mmm... she's a very gentle person."

Ling Xi also gave her own answer, laughing, "As the most powerful S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, Cecilia has every right to be arrogant, but she is so approachable, gentle and friendly, unlike some A-rank or even B-rank Valkyrie so arrogant."

Hmm... why do I feel like you're subtly criticizing me?

Shigure Kira glanced at Ling Xi. After all, there were only six A-rank Valkyrie in the Schicksal, and the only ones Ling Xi had ever met... besides Cheng Lixue, were herself. And Cheng Lixue was clearly not the kind of person Ling Xi was talking about.

No, there isn't.

Ling Xi quickly denied it, and at the same time changed the subject, "By the way, Miss Qiluo, I heard that you had a rather strange experience during the process of joining Schicksal and becoming Valkyrie. Can you tell me about it?"

"What's there to say?"

Shigure Kira pursed her lips and snorted, "It's just that I signed up for the audition for trainee idols, but I ended up in the wrong line and somehow became Valkyrie!"

"Forehead..."

Hearing Shigure Kira's story, Ling Xi couldn't help but think of a Stephen Chow movie, where someone almost lost their DingTalk account because they lined up in the wrong queue...

This story also teaches us to carefully check before queuing, especially when queuing for a nucleic acid test. Don't spend ages queuing only to find out at the end that it's not for a nucleic acid test, but...

Buying groceries!

Chapter 635 The Stigmata Given to Shigure Kira!

"Hmm, that's really quite amazing..."

Ling Xi had some knowledge of Shigure Kira's storyline, and while she wouldn't call her lucky, she wasn't exactly unlucky either, after all...

The current Valkyrie of Schicksal are of extremely high quality. There are only six A-rank Valkyrie, and she is one of them. With this strength and status, isn't it much more promising than becoming an idol?

Of course, it can't be idols like Eden or Te Ri Ri.

"Ugh, really, I have to work overtime tonight..."
