That's for healing you, not for soaking in hot springs!

"Magical Journey—"

Mo Yi then used Bard, the Wandering Caretaker's third ability, opening a spatial portal to his home in the air before him. He said, "Your previous fight must have attracted a lot of attention. If you don't leave now, it'll be bad if someone catches you."

Reminded by Mo Yi, Kiana and Theresa remembered this.

"Step through this door, and you can return to my place—"

Mo Yi patted Theresa's head and explained, "Theresa, you go to my place first. I'll take you home when I get back."

"Mhm—"

Theresa trusted the big brother who gave her chocolate. Moreover, as Mo Yi said, her and Kiana's previous fight would surely attract a lot of attention. Her sister Kallen had specifically told her not to go out. This was no longer just about playing outside; if her grandfather, who was always tracking them, found out, Kallen would definitely be very angry!

"Thank you, big brother."

Seeing Theresa nod so obediently, Mo Yi felt relieved. After all, she was the loli who had chased Kiana. Even though the current Kiana was still the 'White Comet' who trained for nothing, with the help of that pufferfish lady Sirin, she wasn't weak.

"Then go. Don't be afraid, that's my home."

Theresa stepped into the light portal and disappeared in an instant, followed by Kiana.

"Kiana, go back and look after Theresa. There's cake and other snacks in the fridge. Don't provoke her, or she might cry."

"(ˉ▽~~) Hmph~~"

Mo Yi's teasing made Kiana unhappy, but she couldn't refute him. She really couldn't beat that darned cute loli!

She was so fierce in front of herself, but acted cute in front of Mo Yi. That darned white-haired loli, so young yet already knew how to act differently based on who she was with. What would happen when she got older?

A definite warning sign of a vixen!

"You wouldn't let me open the fridge before, but she can open it as soon as she arrives. That's not fair—"

Kiana was unhappy now.

"I'm the one who lives with you!"

"I was here first!"

Whether it was knowing each other, becoming friends, or living together, why did it turn out like this?!!

Mo Yi: "..."

Kiana, can you please have some self-awareness? If you were given free rein to open the fridge, would the food I bought still be here overnight?

"Keep whining, and you won't get any—"

Kiana's face fell when she heard that. She no longer dared to complain to Mo Yi and meekly lowered her head as she walked away.

Wait.

Kiana noticed another loophole and looked at Mo Yi, asking, "What about you? Aren't you coming back with us?"

"Do you even realize the huge mess you two have caused? Even if I don't know the specifics of the Cultivator Association, I can guess that countless people are coming to arrest you two for public property destruction."

Mo Yi waved his hand helplessly, urging Kiana to leave quickly. "I have to stay behind to clean up your mess."

Kiana felt a little touched and embarrassed when she heard this. She mumbled with her head down, "But I didn't want to. She was the one who actively provoked me."

"The Association has many powerful people. Come back soon, don't get caught—"

"Okay—"

Watching Kiana walk into the spatial portal, Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He closed 'Magical Journey' and exited Bard, the Wandering Caretaker's transformed state. He maintained his hidden state, using its passive ability 'Traveler's Call' to recover his depleted Magic Power and stamina.

After exiting the transformed state, the Bard mask on Mo Yi's face naturally disappeared. However, Mo Yi was prepared. He had already changed into a black cloak he had DIYed, covered in runes, possessing strong concealment and defense. He took out a mask from his waist, also made by Mo Yi previously, with a mischievous smile and a crying expression, and put it on.

"Now I can get to work."

Then, he took out a bag of seeds from his waist and scattered them in the areas damaged by Theresa and Kiana's fight. He then activated his skill 'Plant King', causing these specially cultivated seeds to sprout rapidly, covering and further concealing the battle environment. Most importantly, he absorbed all the residual Honkai Energy. Honkai Energy was not good stuff; leaving it here might cause other problems.

The ultimate reason Mo Yi did this was, of course, to prevent others from tracing Kiana. Otherwise, if that poor girl were asked to pay for the damages, it would be obvious she had no money. The amount of damage to flowers, plants, and street buildings along the way would cost a fortune.

Mo Yi didn't sell houses, so he couldn't help!

Cough, let's consider this payment for dealing with the residual Honkai Energy.

PS: How many people are familiar with the plot of "Touhou Shinpiroku"? If I were to write about it, would everyone be completely confused?

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Because My Name is Li Qiye

Although the abilities of the Honor of Kings Character Cards were useful, there was always a corresponding Character Card to deal with any situation.

However, Mo Yi had not neglected the abilities he had obtained for ten years. 'Riding EX', which allowed him to ride any conceptual vehicle, could allow him to ride the wind, surf the waves, drive a planet for interstellar battles, or even traverse time and space if he was powerful enough. As for 'Mo Paopao', it was a divine skill for escaping defeat, doubling his speed to flee, dodging attacks from behind, and even triggering a slim chance of escaping death. It was perfect for Mo Yi, who had the potential of an emperor but lacked backing and needed to develop independently as a late-game hero.

As for his current ability, 'Plant King', despite its misleading skill description, it was a very practical and interesting skill: the ability to control plant growth and mutation. As long as Mo Yi provided Magic Power, seeds could grow at lightning speed, like eating superphosphate fertilizer. For example, if Mo Yi planted a watermelon seed ten seconds ago, he could harvest countless watermelons ten seconds later.

Of course, he could also cultivate new mutated plants by manipulating their mutations. For instance, the seeds in Mo Yi's pocket were mutated seeds he had created before. Once scattered and his ability activated, they could grow various plants similar to those in the game "Plants vs. Zombies," helping Mo Yi fight or work.

After all, the ability of 'Plant King' was to allow Mo Yi to control plants. If there were no plants around and only steel and concrete, this ability would be useless. Mo Yi couldn't do what other plant-type ability users could, like 'creating friends out of thin air' and summoning various plant friends to help him fight even without any plants present.

This wasn't a plant-type ability at all; it was clearly a summon-type ability.

When it came to Mo Yi, he could only prepare seeds beforehand and throw them out to activate his abilities during battle.

Mo Yi followed the trail of residual Honkai Energy, throwing seeds into the areas where it lingered. Under Mo Yi's control, the seeds sprouted rapidly, absorbing the residual Honkai Energy and growing into various strange plant vines.

Carefully making his way, Mo Yi avoided several waves of cultivators who were investigating the area. He finally arrived at the original small grove and scattered a few seeds from his hand.

The seeds absorbed the residual Honkai Energy, rapidly mutating and growing. After absorbing all the Honkai Energy, they gradually withered under Mo Yi's control.

These plants, grown by absorbing Honkai Energy, were no different from Honkai Beasts. While Mo Yi was present, he could suppress their nature, but after he left, they might just follow the will of the Honkai and attack humans.

Therefore, after clearing out the Honkai Energy, Mo Yi controlled these plants to self-destruct.

"Is it all taken care of, Mister Masked Man?"

Two individuals who had discovered Mo Yi long ago and had been following him emerged from behind him. Mo Yi knew someone had been tailing him from the very beginning, but since they hadn't revealed themselves, he was content to play dumb and deal with the residual Honkai Energy first.
