Because My Name Is Li Qiye

That was for healing your injuries! Who the hell said anything about soaking in hot springs?!

"Magical Journey—"

Mo Yi then used Bard, the Wandering Caretaker's third ability, opening a spatial passage through the air before him that led to his home. "Who knows how many people your fight attracted. If you don't run now, it'll be trouble if someone catches you."

Only after Mo Yi pointed it out did Kiana and Theresa remember.

"Walk through this door, and you can return to my home—"

Mo Yi patted Theresa's head and explained,

"Theresa, stay at my place for now. Once I get back, I'll send you home."

"Mm-hm—"

Theresa still trusted the big brother who had given her chocolate. Besides, as Mo Yi had said, her fight with Kiana would definitely have drawn a lot of attention. Her sister Kallen had told her not to go outside, and this was no longer as simple as sneaking out to play. If her grandfather, who had been tracking them, discovered anything, her sister would definitely be furious when she found out!

"Thank you, Big Brother."

Seeing Theresa nod so obediently, Mo Yi felt more at ease. She was a loli who had chased Kiana down and beaten her up. Even though Kiana was still White Comet, the kind of character who stayed useless no matter how much she trained, with Miss Pufferfish Sirin helping her, she could not possibly be weak.

"Then go on. Don't be scared; that's my home over there."

The moment Theresa stepped through the glowing door, she vanished. Kiana followed after her.

"Kiana, go back and keep an eye on Theresa. There are snacks like cake in the fridge. Don't provoke her, or she might beat you until you cry."

"(ˉ▽~~) Hmph~~"

Kiana was unhappy at Mo Yi's mockery, but she could not refute him. She really could not beat that damn cute-act loli!

She was so vicious in front of Kiana, yet acted cute in front of Mo Yi. That damn white-haired loli already knew how to treat people differently at such a young age. Once she grew up, wouldn't that be terrible?

A total fox-spirit warning!

"You never let me open the fridge before, but that girl gets to open it as soon as she comes. That's unfair—"

Kiana was thoroughly unhappy now.

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

"I was here first!"

Whether it was knowing him, becoming friends, or living together, why had it turned out like this?!!

Mo Yi: "..."

Kiana, could you have at least a little self-awareness? If he gave her free rein over the fridge, would any of the food he bought survive the night?

"If you keep yapping, then don't eat—"

The moment Kiana heard that, she felt awful. She no longer dared complain about Mo Yi and obediently lowered her head as she headed over.

Wait.

Kiana noticed another blind spot and looked back at Mo Yi. "What about you? Aren't you coming back with us?"

"Do you have any idea how much trouble you two caused? Even if I don't know the Cultivator Association's exact situation, I can guess that countless people are coming to catch you two vandals right now."

Mo Yi helplessly waved her onward and said,

"I have to stay behind and clean up your mess."

Kiana felt a little touched and rather embarrassed. Lowering her head, she muttered, "But I didn't want this either. She was the one who came looking for trouble with me."

"There are a lot of powerful people in the association. Come back early, and don't get caught—"

"Got it—"

After watching Kiana enter the spatial passage, Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He shut off Magical Journey and withdrew from his Bard, the Wandering Caretaker transformation, maintaining only his hidden state while using its passive ability, Traveler's Call, to recover the magic and stamina he had expended.

Once the transformation ended, the Bard mask on Mo Yi's face naturally vanished. However, he had prepared beforehand, changing into a DIY black cloak inscribed with Runes that possessed powerful concealment and defensive properties. He then took a Ghost Face mask from his waist, one he had also made in the past, bearing an expression that looked both like a smile and a cry, and put it on.

"Now I can get to work."

He then took out a bag of seeds from his waist and scattered them across the area damaged by Theresa and Kiana's battle. Then he activated the Plant King skill, causing these specially cultivated seeds to rapidly sprout, cover the surrounding battlefield, and wreck it further. Most importantly, they absorbed every trace of remaining Honkai Energy. Honkai Energy was no good thing; leaving it here might cause other problems.

Of course, Mo Yi's ultimate reason for doing this was to prevent anyone from tracing things back to Kiana. Otherwise, if that poor girl was asked to pay compensation, it was obvious she would have no money. She had destroyed so many flowers, plants, streets, and buildings along the way—who knew how much that would cost?

If Mo Yi did not sell his house, he could not help her at all!

Ahem, he would treat this as payment for cleaning up the remaining Honkai Energy.

PS: How many people know the plot of "Touhou Shinpiroku"? If I write it, will everyone be completely confused?

Because My Name Is Li Qiye

Although the abilities of Honor of Kings Character Cards were useful, and there was basically a corresponding Character Card for any situation, Mo Yi had never neglected the abilities he had obtained over the past ten years. Riding EX allowed him to ride any transportation conceptually. If he became strong enough, could he ride the wind, stride over waves, pilot Earth into an interstellar war, or even race through spacetime? Meanwhile, Mo Paopao was a god-tier escape skill for when he lost. It doubled his speed while fleeing, avoided attacks flying in from behind, and could even trigger a near-death escape chance. It was perfect for a late-game hero like Mo Yi, someone with the potential of a great emperor but no backer to protect him, who had to struggle and grow on his own.

As for the ability he was currently using, Plant King, aside from its absurdly misleading skill description, it was actually a highly practical and interesting ability: the power to control the growth and mutation of plants. As long as Mo Yi supplied magic power, he could make seeds grow at light speed as though they had eaten Gold Fertilizer. For example, if Mo Yi planted a watermelon seed ten seconds ago, he could harvest countless watermelons ten seconds later.

Naturally, he could also control mutations to cultivate brand-new mutated plants. The seeds in Mo Yi's pocket right now were mutated seeds he had created in the past. Once scattered and activated, they could grow into all sorts of plants similar to those in the game Plants vs. Zombies, helping Mo Yi fight or work.

After all, Plant King allowed Mo Yi to control plants. If there were no plants around and everything was reinforced concrete, the ability was basically useless. Mo Yi could not do what other plant-type ability users did—make friends out of thin air. They could clearly have no plants around and still summon all kinds of plant friends to help them fight.

What kind of plant-type ability was that? It was obviously a summoning-type ability.

If it were Mo Yi, he could only prepare seeds beforehand, then throw them out and activate his ability during battle.

Mo Yi followed the trail of lingering Honkai Energy, tossing seeds into every place where traces remained. Under his control, the seeds rapidly sprouted, absorbing the residual Honkai Energy and growing into all sorts of strange plant vines.

Carefully avoiding several groups of Cultivators who had come to investigate, Mo Yi finally arrived at the original grove and scattered the few seeds in his hand.

The seeds absorbed the lingering Honkai Energy and rapidly mutated and grew larger. Once they had finished absorbing the Honkai Energy, they gradually withered under Mo Yi's control.

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

Therefore, after clearing away the Honkai Energy, Mo Yi controlled the plants to die on their own.

"Finished cleaning up, Mr. Masked Man?"

Two people who had long since noticed Mo Yi and followed him stepped out from behind him. Mo Yi had known someone had been following him from the very beginning, but since they had not revealed themselves, he was happy to play dumb and clear away the remaining Honkai Energy first.
