The Male Lead in a Yuri World

When you were queueing with friends in Honor of Kings and your girlfriend called, what would you choose?

Was the game more important, or was your girlfriend more important?

Of course it was the game. Without a girlfriend, you could focus on gaming.

That's right, how could a girlfriend be more fun than games?

"Wait—"

The silver-haired girl reacted quickly as well. She reached out and pressed against the door, forcibly holding the door panel in place so Mo Yi could not close it. Of course, that was only because Mo Yi was using the strength of an ordinary man. If he really exerted himself, he feared he might break the door or hurt her.

"Let me explain. I'm not a delivery guy; I just got off work and haven't had time to change out of my uniform."

"Mm—"

Seeing Mo Yi acknowledge her, the silver-haired girl relaxed and let go, ready to explain why she was here.

"However, I don't need insurance, training courses, or any health supplements. I haven't fallen behind on my water, electricity, or management fees either, and I don't need the community to show me any concern. I'm doing just fine living alone. So, bye-bye. There's no need to waste each other's time."

With that, Mo Yi tried to close the door again, not giving the silver-haired girl any chance to keep yapping.

Sorry, I'm Mo Yi. I have no feelings. Trouble, please leave on your own.

"Wait, listen to me—"

I won't listen, I won't listen. You're not Mom, so why should I listen to you?

This time, Mo Yi closed the door faster. With an ordinary person's reaction speed, she should not have been able to respond in time, yet the silver-haired girl stubbornly held the door panel again and shouted, "I'm here to rent a room! Didn't the landlord here post rental information online?!"

Mo Yi froze for a moment. Right, he really did seem to have posted a rental listing online a few days ago.

Taking advantage of Mo Yi's brief distraction, the silver-haired girl slipped through the doorway and into the house without the slightest concern that he might be a bad person.

Having successfully slipped inside, the silver-haired girl sighed in relief, then pulled out a printed A4 sheet from her clothes. It contained the rental advertisement Mo Yi had personally written.

"Hello, my name is Kiana Kaslana. You can just call me Kiana."

"May I ask if the landlord is here?"

In Kiana's eyes, a boy around her age like Mo Yi should not have been the landlord of a house that could practically be called a "building." If he was not a tenant, then he was probably a relative of the landlord.

A quick explanation here: Kiana and the rest of the Valkyrie system still used the Honkai Energy system from Honkai Impact 3rd. The Cultivators mentioned in this chapter referred to ordinary people. Honkai Energy was more or less something the Earth's Will had brought forth to wipe out human civilization. Ordinary people could not make use of it, and even if they absorbed it, they would be corrupted, so it could not possibly become widespread. Energy systems such as Aura and magic power were what ordinary people could adapt to. Well, for now, they were considered energy systems created by Alaya's side to resist the Earth's Will.

The Male Lead of a Yuri World

Kiana Kaslana?

Like you, chicken, you're too beautiful!

When that name reached Mo Yi's ears, a flash of lightning streaked through his mind. Memories too painful to revisit surged back into his heart like a reversing tide.

That had been a very, very long time ago—so long ago that it was practically a past life.

Mo Yi had once been a miserable game copywriter and planner, so naturally he had needed to understand the popular games on the market. Kiana Kaslana had been the heroine of the hugely popular Honkai game series back then, known as the dumb white-haired bug.

Mo Yi had naturally once become a Captain in that game. With her help, he quickly got through the beginner phase, after which he never used Kiana again. What he remembered most deeply was Yae Sakura with donkey ears, and Theresa, the World's Number One Cutie.

As for his remaining impression of Kiana, wasn't she just a yuri girl whose training was all White Comet and whose Gun Fu made bullets curve?

Of course, what Mo Yi disliked most was still the story of the Honkai World, with all its retcons and bugs. If something could not be explained, it was a parallel world; if you kept asking, the universe had rebooted.

As a game copywriter and planner, Mo Yi naturally remembered that very clearly.

But now, a character from a game he had once played had appeared before him. The first thing he thought of was not the Valkyrie wife he had once forgotten.

It was the theme of the Honkai World—Honkai!

The "god" created by the Earth's Will to eliminate human civilization was Honkai.

Well, that was roughly what remained of Mo Yi's memory. He did not know whether it was accurate.

"Gasp—"

He sucked in a sharp breath!

Then another flash of insight struck Mo Yi's heart. Long ago, he had felt that the city he lived in, Changkong City, sounded strangely familiar.

Now he finally remembered. Wasn't Changkong City where the story of Honkai Impact 3rd began?

In the story, a Honkai outbreak occurred in Changkong City. Ordinary citizens died in an instant, while some women transformed into Shikigami—zombies. As for why only women could become Shikigami while men died outright, it was probably because Mother Earth and the Honkai Will were both girls.

The plot was not the point for Mo Yi!

What truly mattered was that the Honkai outbreak would happen in Changkong City, and the city would be wiped out in an instant!

When you knew the place where you lived would soon be carpet-bombed by nuclear weapons, your feelings would definitely be more complicated than finding out that the girlfriend you had dated for seven years had emptied your savings and gone abroad to marry your childhood friend. That was how Mo Yi felt.

Mo Yi always said, don't get reckless; develop quietly!

But as a man destined to become the Bald Great Demon King who wielded lightning, he was not worried about whether he could survive in Changkong City. But if Changkong City truly became a ghost city crawling with zombies, could he still live there?

He had finally become a young man with his own house. Was he supposed to return to square one overnight?

"Hey, are you okay?"

While Mo Yi was lost in wild thoughts because of Kiana's name, Kiana saw the boy before her suddenly stand there in a daze. Unable to endure it any longer, she waved a hand in front of his face a few times and cautiously asked. Startled back to his senses by Kiana's call, Mo Yi thought:

There's no point in overthinking this now. Besides, this world has Cultivators, so its setting is not the same as the Honkai World I remember. Maybe this world doesn't even have any so-called Honkai.

Besides, overthinking won't solve anything. I'll ask Teacher Ryze tonight whether my abilities can resist the so-called Honkai corruption.

And the Honkai World's setting is so complicated, with so many parallel worlds. It's still hard to judge the actual situation.

Kiana had thought she had snapped Mo Yi out of it, but unexpectedly, he immediately became absorbed in his thoughts again. With her impatient temperament, Kiana had no choice but to ask once more, "Are you really okay?"

"Sorry, I got too absorbed in my thoughts just now."

Mo Yi came back to his senses and gave her a polite smile. "Miss Kiana—"

Kiana scratched her head and awkwardly interrupted him.

"Just call me Kiana. Miss Kiana feels kind of strange. I'm only sixteen; I'm not an adult yet."

Mo Yi: "..."
