Mo Yi: Woman, You're Playing with Fire

"Clap clap clap—"

Kiana clapped her hands excitedly, then circled around Mo Yi, looking her alter ego up and down before finally saying confidently, "I'm counting on you for the exam!"

"I remember you also have the ability to create clones. So, transform into my appearance and help me take the exam?"

Kiana is Kiana; she wouldn't be thinking like Miss Mei, wondering if Mo Yi would transform into Kiana's body and do strange things to satisfy a boy's curiosity. Instead, she'd be thinking about having Mo Yi help her cheat.

Kiana doesn't care about academic performance, since she entered the school as Cultivator, just like a sports student. Academic performance is something to be left to chance. But if she can get a perfect score without any effort, who would want to get a zero?

"No--"

Miss Mei, who had walked up to Kiana, pinched Kiana's ear and said, "Cheating is prohibited—"

"Mo Yi, you can't help Kiana like this! You're hurting her!"

Faced with the sudden transformation into Mei's mother and the Queen aura she exuded, Mo Yi nodded immediately. As for his original thought of "it doesn't matter, why should I be ashamed of cheating with my own ability," he immediately abandoned it and insisted on supporting Miss Mei's guidance for a hundred years!

"No problem--"

Upon hearing Kirisu Mafuyu utter those three words, Kiana, who had just finished her performance, cheered with joy.

"You'll be in charge of our performance."

"Yay! We passed Mei— "

"Um--"

At first, I didn't care much about the Newcomer Performance. I just thought it was because Mo Yi and Kiana were being kind and I couldn't let Miss Mei down. But after a week of hard work, I found myself liking and caring about the performance.

If you put in the effort to do something, you will eventually come to like or dislike it. Although these days are filled with rehearsals and she is exhausted, Miss Mei has come to like the feeling of everyone working together for something.

This was an experience she had never had, neither during her time as the Queen Mei nor during her lonely period after being shot in the knee.

Bronya shares the same sentiment. She used to be an emotionless mercenary, and after joining the Cocolia Orphanage, she didn't change much. Although she made new friends, she eventually became a member of Anti-Entropy, spending her time fighting Honkai Beast or people, and it was all still fighting.

This was also her first time experiencing the life and worries of an ordinary person, which was not for fighting but something she had never imagined. Just over a week ago, how could she, Bronya, have imagined that she would be troubled and working hard on how to sing and dance?

It turns out that the ordinary life I've always longed for is so interesting.

After she finds Seele, she really hopes to live an ordinary life with her.

Thinking about this, Bronya looked at Kiana and Miss Mei beside her again. Is this what friends are all about?

But, this is who I am.

Thinking of this, Bronya couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"You can either wait here, or go home first—"

Mo Yi, standing to the side, also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had only talked a lot, he had also put in a lot of effort. If Kiana and the others had put in physical effort, then Mo Yi had put in mental effort.

"I'll escort Teacher Kirisu downstairs."

Kiana happily hugged Mei and waved to Mo Yi, saying:

"It's alright, we'll wait for you to come back before we leave—"

A minute later, Miss Mei realized something was wrong. Teacher Kirisu was their homeroom teacher, so why did Mo Yi seem to know him better than they did?!

PS: Chapter 259, Princess Arc 56: The Princess very proactively reached out and held Mo Yi's hand, smiling, "This is a perk for becoming Princess boyfriend, aren't you touched?" Mo Yi: "..." This perk is too lame! If it were a modern girl, she would at least offer a kiss. But then again, the Princess is from ancient times, so holding hands is indeed a very open thing... my foot! Don't think I don't know, the Princess not only plays erotic galgames herself, but also knows how to create galgames and draw doujinshi. You actually tell me this kind of person is a conservative woman?! Of course, Mo Yi was still very happy, after all, one of the happiest things in life is when the person you like likes you back, and it happens at the same time. However, Mo Yi couldn't show it, otherwise this clueless otaku Princess would definitely get smug, her face turning red, and she complained, "I dare not move, I dare not move—" Mo Yi shook the hand held by the Princess a few times. Princess: "..." I'm super serious now, you actually dare to play jokes with me, what a clueless man! Then, with a shy yet alluring expression, she looked at Mo Yi and muttered, "You really are a greedy man. I'm not a casual woman." She then tilted her chin slightly, narrowing her eyes as if waiting for something. Mo Yi: "..." "Ahem—" Facing the Princess's maliciously cute act, Mo Yi complained, "Princess, can we talk like usual? The way you're acting right now feels weird."

Chapter 358: Mo Yi: Woman, You're Playing with Fire

"I can't believe you actually did it, Mo Yi— "

After Mo Yi and Kirisu Mafuyu walked down the stairs, Kirisu Mafuyu said with some emotion, "However, I still stand by my point of view—"

"Talented people should develop their talents; that is the right path for them."

Maybe—

Mo Yi had long since passed that immature, hot-blooded phase. Just like the strongest Naruto, Naruto, back then, when he was a genin, he would just go and fight anyone he saw. If he couldn't beat them, he would talk them to death. Apart from fellow protagonists like Kazuki and the real boss Madara, who wouldn't fall for his talk-no-jutsu?!

But after he became Hokage and had a son, Boruto, he unintentionally became the person he hated the most. He used to crave family affection, but after becoming a parent, he worked overtime all day, leaving his wife alone at home, and even using Shadow Clones to gloss over his daughter's birthday!

No matter how busy a person is, they shouldn't be so busy that they can't go home. Does he have a boss who forces him to work overtime? And as the village chief, are all the people under him just for show?

In the end, he raised a Boruto would have been locked up in jail long ago.

This shows that as people get older, they lose their passion. Just like Naruto, Mo Yi no longer has the urge to persuade others to accept his ideas.

"But isn't youth just a time to go crazy for some unrealistic things?"

"For me, nothing is more important than being happy."

"Is that so?"

Kirisu Mafuyu looked at Mo Yi's hateful face and said coldly:

"But I can't see any youthful energy in you."

You're a really bad guy!

"As I get older, all I want to do is protect the dreams of young people."

Kirisu Mafuyu: "..."

God is old! If you call a high school student old, then what should we call a woman in her twenties like me?

What exactly happened between the two? Let's turn back time by one week.

After Mo Yi and the others decided on their performance projects, Kirisu Mafuyu came to conduct a surprise inspection. At that time, everyone was just starting out, and after watching them, she was very disappointed and rejected their projects.

On the one hand, time is limited. Kiana and the others don't have much training time left. Given their initial poor performance, it's clear they can't support themselves, especially since the Newcomer Performance is a matter for the entire class.

On the other hand, other students in Kiana's class signed up for the Newcomer Performance, which naturally created competition.

Kiana looked dejected after hearing that their program had been rejected, as did the others.

"Leave this to me—"

Mo Yi reached out and stroked Kiana's head, laughing:
