Mo Yi continued, and sure enough, Kiana stopped to hear what kind of 'truth' he would say.

"My awakened ability is 'Revelation', similar to Future Sight. When I see something related, images of possible futures appear in my mind."

Kiana was fooled by Mo Yi's serious expression, half-believing and half-doubting as she muttered, "Really?"

"Can an ability as exaggerated as Future Sight really exist? Then what did you see that made you treat me so well?"

"When I saw you, I saw your future 'girlfriend' and 'big aunt', and the possibility of them becoming my future wife."

"Well, they fit my aesthetic quite well. For the sake of my future wife, I have to take good care of you, right, Kiana?"

Kiana stood frozen as if struck by an acupuncture point.

Someone as clever as me actually believed his nonsense!

Whether I'll have a girlfriend in the future is one thing, but I've only ever had my father as family—I've never heard of having a big aunt as a relative.

I'm so stupid!

The worst part is, my intuition didn't even detect that he was 'lying'!

Clearly, Kiana didn't believe Mo Yi's 'truth'.

In fact, Mo Yi hadn't lied at all. Back when he played the Honkai series, he really had treated Kiana's girlfriend 'Raiden Mei' and big aunt 'Theresa' as his wives—well, paper wives he swapped out every three months.

"Die, you nonsense-spouting bastard!"

Kiana grabbed a pillow beside her and threw it at Mo Yi.

Actually, if Kiana had believed Mo Yi and knew he had his eyes on her girlfriend, she wouldn't have thrown a pillow—she'd have used a Death Scissors Leg.

Chapter 13: Magical Cat Yuumi

Kiana used skill 'Throw Rem' on Mo Yi.

Mo Yi successfully blocked, caught the 'Rem' thrown by Kiana, triggered passive skill 'Counter Spiral', and hurled the 'Rem' back at Kiana.

Successfully hit Kiana's head. Kiana-go has been sunk!

Seeing Kiana's dark expression, pillow in hand, eyes darting around as if locking onto all of Mo Yi's escape routes to deliver a 'Critical Hit', Mo Yi said innocently, "I didn't mean to, honestly. It's just that the trajectory of the pillow you threw was too good, and my right hand acted on its own, throwing it right back."

Kiana: "..."

Seeing Kiana's disbelief, Mo Yi changed the subject and said, "I, Mo, really wasn't lying just now!"

"Fine—"

Seeing that Mo Yi still wouldn't admit he was talking nonsense, Kiana taunted, "Then tell me, what are my future girlfriend and big aunt like?"

"No problem—"

Under Kiana's suspicious gaze, Mo Yi calmly started spinning his tale.

"First, let's talk about your girlfriend. We won't mention shallow things like height and looks—since you, Kiana, fancy her, she can't be worse than you. Her personality seems cold on the surface, but her Wife Material Strength is maxed out. Her special trait is that when she's angry, she makes a 'Bilibili' sound, and she often shocks me."

The 'shock' Mo Yi mentioned was literal electricity, not the teasing Kiana understood.

"Die already! What kind of person makes a weird 'Bilibili' sound when they're angry? If you're going to lie, at least put some effort into it!"

Kiana initially thought Mo Yi was bluffing, so she naturally didn't believe him.

Mo Yi: "..."

Girls who make Bilibili sounds when angry do exist!

Not just Raiden Mei, but also Misaka Mikoto. It just shows that you, Kiana, are no different from ordinary people—denying anything beyond your understanding out of hand.

Losing patience with Mo Yi's nonsense, Kiana found an opening and hurled the pillow at him.

Kiana thought, "Perfect angle and ambush timing. With my years of experience sniping from the shadows, there's no way you, Mo Yi, can dodge this!"

Indeed, this 'Throw Rem' was different from the playful one before—its speed and force were much stronger. An ordinary person hit in the head by this pillow would probably be half-stunned.

But was Mo Yi an ordinary person?

He was destined to become the King of Games, always equipped with abilities gained from the Little World Game. One ability, 'Fruit Sword Saint', gave Mo Yi a 100% chance of cutting down incoming objects. Though he had no fruit knife in hand, a hand blade was still a blade.

Having had these abilities for years, Mo Yi had explored and developed their potential. These abilities were all rule-level skills that bent logic.

For example, the skill 'Riding'. As long as Mo Yi believed something was a mount, he could trigger it. If he jumped onto Kiana's back and sincerely thought of her as his steed, he could apply his abilities to her.

Another example was 'Fruit Sword Saint'. If Mo Yi now considered his hand a sword, he could perfectly catch this 'Throw Rem'.

So, under Kiana's stiff, smug smile, Mo Yi caught the pillow with a speed she couldn't follow, then used 'Counter Spiral' to smash it into her face.

"What?"

Before the pillow hit her, Kiana was stunned that her perfect throw had been caught. She couldn't help wondering—was he also a cultivator? How else could his reflexes be so fast?

Seeing Kiana, dazed and sprawled on the bed like a dead frog with limbs splayed, Mo Yi felt he had courted disaster again. With Kiana's Young Mistress personality, once she snapped out of it, she'd definitely pester him relentlessly for revenge.

At that moment, Mo Yi recalled what the great thinker Master Lu once said: Hide in a small building and ignore the seasons.

Simply put, retreat was the best strategy. Once he hid, what could Kiana do to him?

"Oh, it's gotten so late. I'll head back to wash up and sleep, Kiana."

Before Kiana could come to her senses, Mo Yi said this, turned, and left, even closing the door for her. Such a considerate landlord—where else could you find one?

"Bang, bang—"

Hearing the door being pounded by Kiana with a series of 'bang bang' sounds, Mo Yi loudly said, 'I'm taking a shower. If you need something, come back tomorrow,' then ignored Kiana and grabbed his clothes to go wash up.

As for worrying whether Kiana might break the door down, he didn't have a single concern—because the house had long been reinforced by Mo Yi with quite a few Rune Magic techniques learned from Rune Mage Ryze. Not even a mere Kiana knocking with her hands could break it; even if she blasted it with her dual pistols, she'd need several shots just to have a chance at breaking through the runes' protection.

"Mo Yi, just you wait—"

After knocking for several minutes, Kiana finally gave up on this futile effort and, as usual, spat out a few harsh words: "Tomorrow, I'll make you understand what the title 'Sonic Kiana' really means!"

With that, she slunk back to her own room.

"Just Kiana—"

Already lying in the bathtub, Mo Yi listened to Kiana's threats and casually muttered, "Sorry, but this Mo here is a man who can stay in his room playing games all day without stepping out."
