The Captain Just Wants to Go Home and Play Games

"Stop talking, if we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

With that, the most renowned duo in Changkong City, the Phantom Duo, composed of A-rank cultivators 'Evil Eye · Meitang Man' and 'Thunder Emperor · Tianye Ginji,' who were best at reclaiming jobs, followed the map on their mobile phones and sped off.

Meanwhile...

A certain individual named Theresa should enjoy bitter melon juice, read comics, and have others accompany her for naps!

Seeing Theresa, who was initially being steered towards the right path and developing a liking for bitter melon-flavored chocolate, being misled by Kiana into acting like she absolutely refused to try it, Mo Yi decided to stop messing around.

"Shrine of the Wandering God—"

Bard, the Wandering Caretaker's second skill, creates a shrine with healing abilities, granting allies within its area powerful healing effects.

Thus, a magic circle emitting a gentle glow appeared beside Mo Yi. Before the curious Kiana could ask what it was, Mo Yi pointed and said, "Kiana, step onto it. It can heal your injuries."

"Okay—"

Hearing Mo Yi, Kiana remembered the injury on her arm. Although it had stopped bleeding, it still hurt quite a bit. If not treated properly, it might leave a scar. Additionally, she had several other scrapes and strains. She immediately stepped onto the Shrine of the Wandering God.

Kiana's straightforward personality did have its advantages. At least most of the time, when Mo Yi asked her to do something, she wouldn't hesitate and would just do it. If it were someone smart and suspicious, they would probably ask for a full explanation before agreeing to act.

Although that was a normal reaction, Kiana's decisiveness was something special, like a unique firework.

More often than not, Mo Yi preferred teammates like Kiana who were obedient and didn't question things. Asking so many questions only to follow orders in the end was a waste of time. After all, in many critical moments, "hesitation leads to defeat." Hesitating for a second could lead to a total wipeout.

"Mmm-hmm—"

Kiana, standing on the Shrine of the Wandering God, was enveloped in a warm glow, much like soaking in a hot spring. No, a hot spring only provided physical comfort, but this was a soothing relaxation of both body and soul.

Caught off guard, Kiana let out a strange sound:

"So comfortable..."

Sirin, who had just returned to Kiana's body to slumber, had barely slept for a few minutes when she suddenly realized that Kiana's body and soul, which she had been secretly corrupting with Honkai Energy, were becoming revitalized. Although she, being part of the same entity, also felt comfortable and her spirit gradually relaxed, her hard-earned secret corruption was gradually fading under an incomprehensible warm light.

In a semi-conscious state, Sirin could only roar in Kiana's body in frustration: "No!"

"Who is it! Who's ruining my good deed!?"

Already having expended too much Honkai Energy and unable to fully awaken in a short period, she couldn't hold on any longer under the light of the Shrine of the Wandering God and fell into a slumber filled with anger and resentment.

"Waaah—"

Listening to Kiana's continuously changing strange noises, Mo Yi felt an urge to turn around and leave.

Kiana, why are you making such noises!

I'm healing you! Anyone who didn't know the situation would think a couple was trying to save on a night's accommodation and doing unspeakable things in this secluded spot!

PS: After finishing the final chapter of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles," I was utterly confused. Why, after finishing it, do I still not understand anything, and it seems like there are even more mysteries! To this day, the only two sentences I remember are: The most terrifying thing is not ghosts and gods, but the human heart; I traded ten years of my life for your innocence.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Kiana: I was here first!

"The delivery sister looks so comfortable—"

Theresa, who was watching from the side, looked curiously at Kiana, who seemed to have eaten some king-level dish and was on the verge of exploding, then turned to Mo Yi and asked, "Brother Mo Yi, can I go over there too?"

Children's curiosity is naturally greater than adults', so it was normal for the childlike Theresa to be so curious.

As for Kiana, Mo Yi could see that the wound on her arm had already healed. She was probably staying inside because the healing effect of the Shrine of the Wandering God was truly comfortable.

Of course, Mo Yi didn't know that the Shrine of the Wandering God was not only healing Kiana's external injuries but also the body and soul that had been eroded by Sirin's Honkai Energy for a long time, which was why she appeared so comfortable.

Mo Yi looked at the light particles dancing around him like fireflies and could feel his Magic Power rapidly recovering.

Feeling that his Magic Power was quite sufficient, he decided to maintain the 'Shrine of the Wandering God' for a while longer, to let Theresa have a taste.

These firefly-like light particles were Bard, the Wandering Caretaker's passive ability, 'Traveler's Call.' As long as Bard existed, it would generate harmonious sounds that not only continuously enhanced his power and understanding of the universe but also allowed him to summon nature spirits to assist him.

Simply put, this was an ability that allowed Bard to grow stronger even while standing still and spacing out, just by existing.

When it acted upon Mo Yi at this moment, his greatest feeling was that if he went back to review those profound texts now, he felt he could understand them completely in one go. His mind was clear, as if he had drunk a brain-boosting supplement.

"Why are you here?"

Kiana, who was enjoying the physical and mental pleasure, suddenly felt someone nudge her. She opened her eyes and saw Theresa stepping into the already small area of the Shrine of the Wandering God, and she immediately became unhappy.

"So comfortable—"

Theresa, stepping into the Shrine of the Wandering God, displayed a comfortable expression similar to Kiana's, like a lazy cat basking in the morning sun, squinting her eyes: "I feel warm all over, like something is pouring into my body, it's so comfortable."

Kiana: "..."

What the heck are you yelling about? You're not even injured. I haven't even dealt with you yet, and you dare to come up and share my 'healing medicine.'

So Kiana secretly shifted her body, using her butt to push Theresa out of the circle's range.

"Delivery sister, why are you bumping me with your butt!?"

Theresa, half of her body pushed out of the Shrine of the Wandering God, was naturally unwilling. Her small body exerted great strength, and she squeezed back in, pushing Kiana back.

"Hogging all the good stuff isn't what good children do, delivery sister!"

"Stop calling me that weird name, I am Kiana Kaslana."

"Hmm, Kaslana?"

Theresa froze for a moment because her own sister was also named Kaslana. Now, looking up and observing the delivery sister carefully, the more she looked, the more the other person's appearance resembled her sister's. The biggest difference was that the other person had twin braided pigtails, while her sister had a single braided ponytail, and their temperaments were vastly different.

Kiana was just a big kid, acting like she could argue with a little kid like herself, not at all mature and reliable like a big sister.

Having seen plenty of clone test subjects in Otto's laboratory, Theresa couldn't help but wonder if the other party was also an experimental subject who had escaped from her grandfather.

"Alright, stop playing."

Seeing the two of them roughhousing, Mo Yi stopped the Shrine of the Wandering God.

"Mo Yi, I still want to—"

Kiana was immediately displeased and complained:

"I still want to soak in the hot spring!"

Mo Yi: "..."
