Mo Yi continued, and Kiana indeed stopped to see what kind of "truth" he would reveal.
"My awakened ability is 'Revelation.' It's similar to Future Sight. Whenever I see something relevant, certain possible future scenes appear in my mind."
Kiana was fooled by Mo Yi's serious expression and muttered skeptically, "Really?"
"Does such an outrageous ability as seeing the future really exist? Then what did you see that made you treat me so well?"
"When I saw you, I saw your future 'girlfriend' and 'aunt.' They might become my future wives."
"Mm, they fit my tastes quite well. For the sake of my future wives, I had to take good care of you, Kiana."
Kiana seemed as if someone had struck her pressure point, frozen in place.
I, Kiana, am such a clever person, and I actually believed his nonsense!
Whether she would have a girlfriend in the future was hard to say, but she had only ever had her father as family. She had never heard of having a relative like an aunt.
I'm such an idiot!
Most infuriating of all, her instincts had not even detected that he was "lying"!
Clearly, Kiana did not believe Mo Yi's "truth."
In fact, Mo Yi had not lied at all. Back when he played the Honkai series, he really had considered Kiana's girlfriend, Raiden Mei, and her aunt, Theresa, his wives. Well, they were the kind of 2D wives he switched out every three months.
"Go die, you gibberish-spouting bastard!"
Kiana grabbed the pillow beside her and hurled it at Mo Yi.
Actually, if Kiana had believed Mo Yi and learned that he had his eye on her wife, she probably would not have thrown just a pillow at him. She would have used Death Scissors Leg instead.
Chapter 13: Magical Cat Yuumi
Kiana used the skill Throw Rem on Mo Yi.
Mo Yi successfully blocked it, catching the "Rem" Kiana threw at him. This triggered the passive skill Counter Spiral, and he smashed the "Rem" in his hand back at Kiana.
A successful hit to Kiana's head! Kiana-go was sunk!
Watching Kiana's dark expression as she gripped a pillow, her eyes constantly drifting as though she were locking down every possible escape route Mo Yi had in preparation for a Critical Hit, Mo Yi said innocently, "I didn't want to do it either. It's just that the pillow's trajectory was too perfect, and my right hand acted on its own. I threw it straight back."
Kiana: "..."
Seeing that Kiana did not believe him, Mo Yi could only change the subject. "I, Mo, really wasn't lying just now!"
"Fine—"
Seeing that Mo Yi still refused to admit he had been talking nonsense, Kiana mocked, "Then tell me what my future girlfriend and aunt are like."
"No problem—"
Under Kiana's suspicious gaze, Mo Yi calmly began spinning his tale.
"First, let's talk about your girlfriend. We won't discuss such shallow things as height and appearance. Anyway, if she can catch your eye, Kiana, she can't possibly be worse than you. She seems cold on the surface, but she's actually maxed out in Wife Material Strength. Her defining trait is that when she gets angry, she makes 'Bilibili' noises and often electrocutes me."
The "electricity" Mo Yi meant was literal electricity, not the teasing Kiana had understood it as.
"Go die! How could anyone in this world make strange 'Bilibili' noises when they're angry? At least put some effort into your lies."
Since Kiana had believed from the start that Mo Yi was just fooling her, she naturally did not believe his words.
Mo Yi: "..."
Girls who made Bilibili noises when angry did exist!
It was not just Raiden Mei. There was also Misaka Mikoto. Kiana was no different from ordinary people; whenever something went beyond her understanding, she simply rejected it as a matter of course.
Having lost patience with Mo Yi's nonsense, Kiana found an opening and smashed the pillow in her hand at him.
Kiana thought, The angle and timing of this sneak attack are flawless. With my many years of experience shooting people from the shadows, there's no way you, Mo Yi, can dodge this!
Indeed, this Throw Rem was nothing like the playful one from before. Its speed and force were far greater. If an ordinary person were hit in the head by this pillow, they would probably be knocked half-unconscious on the spot.
But was Mo Yi an ordinary person?
He was a man destined to become the King of Games. He had always kept the abilities he obtained from Little World Game equipped, including Fruit Sword Saint, which gave Mo Yi a one-hundred-percent chance of striking incoming objects. Though he had no fruit knife in hand right now, a hand blade was still a kind of blade.
After possessing these abilities for so many years, Mo Yi had explored and developed their potential. They were all ridiculously unreasonable, rule-level abilities.
For example, with the skill Riding, as long as Mo Yi considered something a mount, he could trigger the ability. For instance, if Mo Yi jumped onto Kiana's back at this moment and sincerely believed Kiana was his mount, the ability would activate and grant his own abilities to Kiana.
Likewise, with Fruit Sword Saint, if Mo Yi considered his hand a sword, then he could catch this Throw Rem with one hundred percent certainty.
So, beneath Kiana's stiff, triumphant smile, Mo Yi caught the pillow with speed she could not comprehend. Then came another Counter Spiral, and he slammed the pillow into Kiana's face.
"What?"
Before the pillow struck Kiana, she was already dumbfounded that her perfect attack had been caught. She could not help wondering whether he was also a Cultivator; otherwise, how could his reactions possibly be that fast?
Watching Kiana, stunned senseless by the blow, fall flat on her back across the bed with all four limbs spread out like a dead frog, Mo Yi felt that he had once again messed up spectacularly. With a young lady's temperament like Kiana's, once she snapped out of it, she would definitely cling to him relentlessly for revenge.
At that moment, Mo Yi recalled something the great thinker Master Lu had once said: "Hide away in a little building and rule your own world; let spring, summer, autumn, and winter do as they please."
Simply put, running away was the best plan. Once he hid, what could Kiana possibly do to him?
"It's gotten so late already. I'm heading back to shower and sleep, Kiana."
Before Kiana could recover her senses, Mo Yi said that, turned around, and left. He even remembered to close Kiana's door for her. Where else could she find such a considerate landlord?
Bang bang—
Listening to Kiana pound on his door with loud bangs, Mo Yi called out, "I'm taking a shower. If you need something, come back tomorrow," then ignored Kiana and took his clothes to shower.
As for whether Kiana might break down his door, he was not worried in the slightest. He had long since reinforced the house with quite a few Rune Magic spells he had learned from Rune Mage Ryze. Let alone Kiana knocking with her hands, even if she blasted it with dual pistols, she would need several shots before she could possibly break through the runes' protection.
"Just you wait, Mo Yi—"
After knocking for several minutes, Kiana finally gave up on the futile effort and, as usual, spat out a few threats. "Tomorrow, I'll show you what the title Sonic Kiana truly means!"
With that, she slunk back to her own room.
"Just Kiana—"
Already lying in the bathtub, Mo Yi heard Kiana's threat and remarked dismissively, "Sorry, but I, Mo, am a man who can play games in his room all day without stepping outside."
