Poor Mei

Although it felt good to speak my mind, Miss Mei felt ashamed when she thought about what she had just said. How could she have said such a thing?

Although that was her true thought.

As Miss Mei turned and jumped away from the scene, her mind began to wander. She wondered if the other person would distance themselves from her because of this, and if they could never go back to the way they were like family.

Or perhaps the other person also likes me and accepts me. How should I adapt to a new life then? But how should I face Kiana?!

Miss Mei, her mind in turmoil, hurried down the stairs without paying attention to her surroundings. Just as she was about to reach the second floor and turned the corner, she saw Kiana standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Miss Mei was startled and almost instinctively tried to flirt with him.

Kiana?!

How did she get here? Did she realize she had been following her and then chatted with Mo Yi upstairs after she left?

Kiana's feelings and reactions were similar. She was just about to sneak up to the rooftop to gank Mo Yi again. She had just sat down and decided to sneak into the village without being discovered, especially by her wife Mei. But how could Kiana have imagined that the most terrifying Great Demon King would be waiting for her at the only passage, as if he had foreseen it?

Could it be that Mei already knows about her meeting with Mo Yi on the rooftop last night?!

Kiana?

"Mei?"

Both of them were extremely flustered. They called out each other's names at the same time, then fell silent, unsure of what to say, or perhaps waiting for the other to speak first before responding.

Finally, Miss Mei, who had betrayed Kiana, couldn't help but do something 'bad'. She secretly encouraged herself, "This is a trial, a trial from the past! Only by overcoming the immature self of the past can one grow! I have no way back now, I've staked everything, so I have nothing to fear." After comforting herself, Mei asked, "What are you planning to do on the rooftop?"

Miss Mei is ready to strike first; she can't back down.

"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."

Pointed out by Miss Mei, Kiana was reminded of the fear of being dominated by Miss Mei again, and nodded somewhat timidly, saying, "Yeah—"

"It's a bit stuffy in the room, so I went up to the rooftop for some fresh air. Mei, what about you?"

"Me too--"

Kiana's answer provided Miss Mei with a standard answer template. She smiled and said, "I just went to the rooftop to relax and get some fresh air. I didn't expect to run into Mo Yi, so I chatted with him for a while."

"I remembered I still had homework to finish, so I came downstairs first."

"Yes, Kiana, have you finished your homework?"

Kiana: "..."

Mei, you're still my good friend even if you don't mention homework!

Kiana was initially looking forward to school life, until she encountered the devil called homework. She was always distracted in class, and it was already difficult for her to stay awake. To expect her to absorb the knowledge taught by the teacher was simply asking too much of a question for someone like Kiana who never previewed or reviewed.

Therefore, she always had to ask Miss Mei for help with her homework, endure Bronya's ridicule and teasing, or flatter Mo Yi by massaging his feet and getting Mo Yi to use his invincible Kuroka Hibiki to finish her homework. (Having already self-taught herself to a doctoral Xiao Huo in knowledge and skills, for Area 11 high school assignments, she could often get a perfect score assignment with handwriting identical to Kiana's just three minutes after submitting it to the other student.)

As for feeling ashamed or anything like that, that doesn't exist!

I, Kiana, cheated with my own skill, why should I feel ashamed?!

Her main professions from now on will be either Cultivator or Valkyrie, which, simply put, means fighting monsters. What's the use of learning high school knowledge well? It's all destined to be forgotten anyway.

Faced with her study supervisor Mei, Kiana could only resort to her universal answer, "I'll do it later—"

Miss Mei: "..."

I knew you Ji Anya, would say that. In the end, you still came to me, Bronya, or Mo Yi for help.

Saying things like "I'll do it tomorrow," "I'll definitely do it next time," or "It's not urgent later" is all nonsense and should be eliminated.

"Kiana, you can't do it like this. Let's go back and do our homework together."

Miss Mei: Ji Anya, I know you want to find Mo Yi's still on the rooftop, but you can't! I just confessed to him. If you bother him with this, what if Mo Yi tells Kiana about it? How am I supposed to face you then?

Miss Mei, not wanting Kiana to successfully ascend the stairs, unleashed her ultimate move. With a kind smile, she walked down the stairs, grabbed Kiana's hand, and dragged her into the abyss called "Study."

I'm sorry, Kiana, this is the last time.

Ji Anya: "..."

Kiana was already being stopped from finding Mo Yi, and now she's even being dragged away by Mei to study. Kiana had a "MMP" in her mind, but she didn't know whether she should say it or not.

Kiana, who considers herself a poor student, hates nothing more than being Mei into studying by Top Student. Although Mei tries her best to teach her, Kiana just can't seem to grasp the concepts.

All I can say is that We Can't Study!.

However, Miss Mei wouldn't care about Kiana's thoughts, or rather, she simply couldn't understand them.

In her view, learning is a very simple thing. All you need to do is spend time on it, and then you can reap the rewards. How simple is that?

Naturally, they couldn't understand Kiana's feelings of wanting to sleep whenever she saw a textbook and taking out her phone.

No matter what was said, Kiana, who was naturally restrained by Miss Mei, was eventually dragged away by Miss Mei.

On the rooftop, Mo Yi stood there for a long time after Miss Mei went down, pondering the suddenly changed world and life, how to face Mei, who was so devoted to him and whom he couldn't understand, and Miss Mei Kiana, whom he had always treated as a pet girl and younger sister but who secretly lusted after him.

Then, he thought of the Her Highness the Princess. Whenever he was troubled or had something he couldn't figure out, Mo Yi would talk to the all-knowing Her Highness the Princess for a while. Even if she couldn't give him a definite answer, she could use her unique witty remarks or other methods to distract Mo Yi and free Mo Yi from his troubles.

But how could I possibly do this with someone I like?

Even Mo Yi, who claims that "my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my deeds are righteous" and who usually has nothing he can't tell others, couldn't bring himself to say it.

P. S.: White Study 'll never White Study for nothing in this lifetime!

Episode 235, Princess Arc 42: Hearing those devilish lines, Hong Meiling was utterly terrified. She was merely a dragon incompletely transformed (a fish leaping over the dragon gate), still harboring the lingering fear of being dominated by humans. She didn't even have the courage to open the door and refuse the fellow countryman outside who wanted to stab her in the back. Instead, she loudly retorted, "Sorry, you've delivered to the wrong place. Nobody here accepts packages. We don't need community warmth or recommendations!" "You'd better leave quickly; the person you're looking for isn't here. The owner here is very fierce!" In the end, Hong Meiling could only resort to intimidation, hoping to scare the other party away. Mo Yi: "..." Mo Yi knew that Hong Meiling, the gatekeeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, was a monster from Shenzhou, so he thought of teasing her in Shenzhou dialect. He didn't expect her to actually know these jokes. However, his fellow countryman was a bit of a coward. The other party had already come knocking on the door, and she was still hiding behind, not coming out to confront them. Wasn't she afraid that her salary would be docked by the head maid a hundred years from now?

Chapter 344: Miss Mei, the Persecuted Girl

Therefore, this matter can probably only be understood by Mo Yi himself.

That's what they say, but that's the only suitable answer Mo Yi can think of!

However, Mo Yi used to despise those gentle and kind male protagonists the most, among whom was Lü Ye, who often appeared in a certain fan fiction. Since he understood other people's feelings from the beginning, why didn't he make it clear from the start? If he didn't understand once, he would say it a second time. That was fine, but he also had the audacity to make others delay their own affairs to help him, all for his unreliable dream.

This is also because the other party is the author's favorite; otherwise, someone who is unfamiliar with a certain field from the start, yet enters it blindly for the sake of a dream, would be lucky to succeed on their first try. The vast majority of people will encounter setbacks and realize the gap between dreams and reality. Only by recognizing this and continuing to strive can they possibly reach the other side of their dreams.

There's nothing wrong with pursuing your dreams, but it's wrong to try to persuade others to join when you yourself are unclear about the future and completely clueless.
