After hearing the question in her mind, Kiana was silent for a while, sighed in her heart, and said casually: "If this is really the case, then I can only conclude that the people in this cafe have nothing to do with Anti-Entropy and Destiny. If this is the case, after finishing this meal, we can leave." "Don't be impatient, Kiana." The voice said in a calm tone: "If we assume that what Rita in this store said is true, then you might... try to seek help from the staff of this store." "Seeking help?" "Well, do you remember what Rita said to you when you confronted her in this store?" "She said...ah." Kiana suddenly realized something, as if she had been enlightened. "This is the first time we met. There was no direct conflict, and she had no idea about the Herrscher core in my body. And the reason is that the manager of this store has a power that is more powerful than the Power of the Void?" "Yes, if we take this as a fact, it means that in the eyes of the people in this store, even if you hold the Herrscher Core, you are not a dangerous person at all." The voice said, "For the past four months, you have been avoiding the pursuit of Destiny and Anti-Entropy. Let's not talk about Destiny for now. You have been avoiding Theresa and the others because you are afraid that your power will hurt them after losing control, right?" "..." Kiana pursed her lips and nodded slightly. "But no matter what, with your understanding of Theresa and the others, you should also know that they can't just watch you wander around outside." The voice said earnestly, "Moreover, even if you are afraid to face Theresa and the others, you can't avoid facing the Herrscher core in your body. I know you are afraid of losing control again, but have you ever thought that even if you try to stay away from Theresa and the others, after you lose control, they will still inevitably, or even actively, face the you who has lost control?" "Even if they are not your companions, Theresa and the others are still Valkyries whose mission is to fight against the Honkai." After hearing the words of that voice, Kiana's breathing unconsciously became a little faster.
She couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. What the voice said was what Kiana had been avoiding all these days, so she knew very well that it was true. She knew in her heart that even if she had been avoiding Theresa and the others because she was afraid of losing control, when she lost control again, Theresa and the others would still come to her and hurt her again. Rationally speaking, she couldn't continue to hide from Theresa and the others, even if it was to prevent herself from losing control again. Compared to having the will of the Herrscher of the Void take over the body in a place unknown to everyone, it would be better to lose control next to someone who is well prepared. After all, in the latter situation, facing an opponent that has already made full preparations, even the Herrscher of the Void can only cause very limited disasters and destruction. However, even knowing this, Kiana still found it difficult on a subjective level to face the fact that she had killed her companions with her own hands. The voice in Kiana's head didn't say anything else. Although they have essentially reached a settlement, Fu Hua, who has always been by Kiana's side, knows better than anyone that Kiana is far from out of danger. She was worried, but she didn't dare to stimulate Kiana too much as she had just regained her will to live. After all, during this period of time, helping Kiana suppress the will of the Herrscher of the Sky and avoiding the worst situation from happening is the top priority. So during this period of escape, not only was Kiana herself avoiding these issues, but even Fu Hua was deliberately avoiding talking about them. ——If they hadn’t entered this coffee shop which was extremely special even to Fu Hua. Kiana was silent for a long time, but finally shook her head gently. "No, I can't bring trouble to others anymore." she whispered. "Even if Rita in this store believes that I am not dangerous, she has never seen me lose control. Moreover, since the people in this store are meeting me for the first time, I have no right to transfer my own risks to this store." As she spoke, her tone suddenly became casual: "I know you are concerned about me, squad leader, don't worry. After investigating the collapse of Sky City, I will take the initiative to find Theresa and the others. You are right, I will have to face the will of the Herrscher of the Void one day. At least before that, I must be fully prepared." "..." Fu Hua was silent for a moment, then sighed, "It's great that you... have such an idea."
At this time, footsteps sounded from far away. Rita came to Kiana with a plate of beautiful omelette rice, with the same smile on her face as always: "Your omelette rice, please enjoy it." After calming down, Kiana focused her attention on her dinner. "oh oh……" I couldn't help but let out a somewhat touching sound. Use a spoon to poke the soft fried egg, and the juicy and distinct rice grains slide out like liquid. Although Kiana did some simple odd jobs here and there during her escape and was able to earn enough money to eat, in order to avoid the searches of Destiny and Anti-Entropy, she could only shorten the time she was exposed to surveillance as much as possible. Therefore, the only food she could choose was dry food such as bread or compressed biscuits that she could eat anytime and anywhere. For Kiana, this was the first time in these few months that she was able to sit at a table and eat a freshly cooked meal. Unfortunately, after returning to the base in Sky City, I need to deal with the Honkai incident elsewhere, so I probably won't have much chance to come to this store again. With a somewhat regretful mood, Kiana picked up the spoon and put the hot rice into her mouth. At this moment, the wooden door of the cafe was suddenly pushed open with a creaking sound. Kiana subconsciously looked towards the door and then froze for a moment. The store manager who was doing the accounting with Guanxing looked up and said, "Ah, sorry, customer, we have already...Huh? Why are you here?" "What do you mean I'm here..." Hearing the somewhat surprised voice of the store manager, the person who opened the door sighed first, then put his hands on his hips, "The one who wants to buy some magic seasonings and special ingredients from us, isn't it you, Captain? Why, I'm bringing the things to you now, why do you look so weird, do you think I'm disturbing your love affair?" "No, no, how could I dislike you?" The store manager quickly came over with a big smile on his face. "I just didn't expect you to come here so late at night. I thought you would probably come tomorrow." "Hmph, you are the store manager after all, why are you less concerned about these things than I am?" The man rolled his eyes at the store manager and flicked his hair. "Forget it... just count the ingredients yourself. Is there any food in the store? I have been busy since noon for your business and haven't even had a bite to eat. You shouldn't let me go hungry, right?" "No need to count. Don't I trust your character?" The store manager patted his chest proudly. "What do you want to eat? Order whatever you want. It's my treat." "Tsk." The man raised his hand and poked the store manager's chest, a sly smile on his face, "All the materials in your store are delivered to you just now, and you still want to order whatever you want? I would like to order whatever you want, but can you afford it?" "Uh, this..." The manager broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and stammered, unable to speak. "Forget it. I'm a generous man, so I won't bother with you." The man smiled, looked around the store, and then turned his gaze to the only dazed customer, glancing at the bowl of omelette rice in front of her. "Just give me a bowl of omelette rice like hers, and I don't have to pay for it, right?" "Of course not!" The store manager breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll go and help you prepare it with Rita. You can find a seat first. Don't be polite to me. Just treat this place as your home." "Celine." Chapter 37: Brave Xilin, not afraid of difficulties! After arranging the man's seat, the young manager was about to walk towards the bar when he was grabbed by the collar from behind. "...Come back here!" "Uh, Miss Xilin? Why are you holding me? I want to prepare dinner for you." The manager said cautiously. "Why are you, a store manager, going to the kitchen to join in the fun? Rita can handle the cooking." Xilin took the store manager to a table for two by the wall and sat down. She crossed her legs casually, supported her cheek with the back of her hand, and the hem of her tight black skirt sunk slightly into her fair and soft thigh flesh. She smiled:
"Or did I spend so much time and effort to prepare materials for you that would last for a month or so? Now that you have the materials, you just want to abandon me and throw me aside?" "I, how dare I..." The store manager made a bitter face, resigned himself to his fate and pulled out the chair in front of him, sitting down face to face with Xilin. He was silent for a moment, "What's the situation over there during this period?" "Thanks to a certain captain, the monsters in the Demon King's City have stopped pouring out, and the reconstruction of the Canxing Ancient City has been put back on the agenda after the threat was completely eliminated. Everything is moving in a good direction." Xilin pursed her lips slightly, looking very dissatisfied. "Is this all you want to ask?" "Uh……" The store manager's eyes rolled around and he secretly turned his gaze to the other employees in the store. In the kitchen, Rita was busy preparing dinner for Xilin, while Brownie was idly playing games. Guanxing buried his face in the account book, while Yuexia was staring at him with a smile, and it was hard to tell whether his eyes were encouragement or threat. After hesitating for a long time, the store manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and made up his mind: "So, what are your plans for the future? Will you continue to stay in that world and pursue your previous career?" "What does the manager think?" Suddenly, Xilin stood up, bent down, supported herself on the table with her hands, and put her face close to the manager's ear. The breath from her lips was moist and warm. "Do you want me to continue to stay in the original world, or -" "—You want me to become yours?" The store manager's breathing suddenly stopped. He opened his mouth and felt his throat dry: "You... didn't seem to be such a direct person before." "I can't help it. I have never had any experience in love. In order not to make mistakes, I can only seek advice from those experienced people." Xilin sat back in her seat, her pretty face flushed and her lips smiling. "That person told me that if you don't want to regret it, the most important thing is to never deceive your own heart. After confirming your own thoughts, the rest of the matter can only be left to the other person's thoughts." "That person? Who is that person?" "Who else? Of course it's the dean of our magic academy." Xilin's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia. "She and her husband are a model couple that everyone admires. With such a successful example to encourage me, I certainly can't deceive myself like before." "I see. If that's what the dean said, it's not hard to imagine that she would give such a suggestion." The store manager let out a sigh of relief. "So what do you think?" Xilin crossed her arms and stared at the store manager's face with her golden eyes: "You... do you want me?" The store manager touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "Well, I think you need to have a correct understanding of your own attractiveness... If you put on such an attitude of wanting to be picked and ask me if I want it, it is probably unlikely that any man would refuse." "Really?" Xilin lowered her head and looked around her body. Her already rosy face suddenly became even more beautiful. She muttered in a low voice: "I feel that compared with the people around you, I am not attractive enough..." "Anyway, we have been together for a while, and you should know how philandering I am...lsp." said the store manager. "It's okay, I don't care." Xilin shook her head lightly, blushing and whispering, "It's better to say... I would be more troubled if you had no interest in me at all..." "Uh... so you should also know that there is no way I will give up the ties I have now." "I know they were here first. I also know what happened between you two, and I know that you will never give up on them." Xilin sighed with some melancholy. "Since you revealed your feelings knowing all these things, I have of course made the corresponding psychological preparations." "The most important point is that my current situation is very special. So after you become my person, you will become like Guanxing, Yuexia and the others, and me. It will be difficult for you to stay in other worlds for a long time." The store manager said softly, "-including your original world." "It doesn't matter. My world is on the right track. With Seniors Trilili and Buluolu here, one more or one less of me won't make a difference." Xilin shrugged indifferently. "Besides, I just can't stay there for a long time. If I go back to see them occasionally, the rejection of the world's rules won't have much impact on me. That's enough, right?" "But... there are only a few of us left who can stay with you forever." "I have already lost to others in terms of the order of time, so, the only thoughts I have about wanting to stay by your side and wanting to go on with you..." Xilin pursed her lips and said firmly, "I don't want to lose to them."
The store manager stared at Xilin's stubborn face and sighed sadly: "You are such an angel. To make such a lovely person become like that, the world is really unfair to your Origin." ...What do you mean? Xilin tilted her head first, with a puzzled look in her eyes, then she suddenly swallowed and put her face close to the store manager's ear. "Well, there is one more thing, Captain..." The store manager raised his eyes and glanced at Xilin's expression: "Have you noticed it?" "It's hard not to notice her staring at me like that," Xilin whispered. She secretly glanced at Kiana, who was staring at her face motionlessly. Her dull and emotionless gaze made her feel a little creepy: "Who is that silver-haired girl? Why is she staring at my face in a daze? Did I know her before?" The store manager sneered and shook his head: "Not only do you know her, you are also her biological mother." "ha?????" "If you calculate the time, it should be about the same." "Almost? What do you mean by almost? And what did you mean by that sentence just now?! What do you mean by I am her biological mother?!" "That's the time it takes her to react after her mind goes blank. As for the second question... you should know the answer soon." The store manager said dimly. As soon as the words fell, an indescribable evil spirit and malice suddenly surged out of Kiana's body, and the circuit board-like Honkai energy corroded the lines, and all of a sudden it spread from the golden pupil of the right eye to half of the girl's face. The left eye, which was originally azure blue, also turned golden. "Hehe, hehehe..." The corner of the girl's mouth tilted, and a laugh mixed with sarcasm and hatred flowed from her mouth. The next second, her body suddenly disappeared in a flash of light, and the black and white Sub-Earth Spear appeared without warning. "Go to hell!!!!!" The tip of the Spear of the Archon pierced towards Xilin's neck like lightning. The first move is a killing blow, aiming to kill with one strike, with no mercy. Xilin, who had always lived a relatively peaceful life, had never expected that this guy would be so ruthless. Her eyes stared blankly at the approaching tip of the Sub-Sky Spear, her heart was beating fast, but her hands were too late to react at all. At this moment, a translucent figure wrapped in flames suddenly appeared between Xilin and the Spear of the Sky. The translucent figure raised his hands at lightning speed and grabbed the front half of the Spear of the Sky with his palms. A low muffled sound spread along with the air wave. “Asshole!!” The silver-haired girl’s golden pupils revealed an almost crazy anger and murderous intent. She stared at the red figure that blocked her way and roared, “Get out of here if you don’t want to die!” Chapter 38 I am god! The moment the roar died down, the silver-haired girl further poured all her strength into the Spear of the Archon. The translucent figure wrapped in flames made a sound similar to that of broken glass, and black cracks quickly spread from the palm to the shoulder. Fu Hua's face was unusually gloomy. Xilin's sudden appearance was completely beyond everyone's expectations. The moment she walked into the coffee shop, the three consciousnesses in Kiana's body, including Fu Hua, were knocked unconscious by the sudden blow.
Of course, as a pioneer from the previous civilization era, Fu Hua, who had experienced countless battlefields, regained his rationality in the first time. But even so, she had never expected that the consciousness of the Herrscher of the Void would suddenly burst out with unprecedented power, so as to break free from the seal jointly constructed by her Yu Duchen and Kiana's own will. As a fusion warrior from the previous civilization era, Fu Hua could tell at a glance that the "Xilin" who entered the store was definitely not the Second Herrscher she encountered seventeen years ago. This "Sirin", who was completely different from the Second Herrscher, probably lived a happy and wonderful life in a relatively peaceful environment. Perhaps, she had also encountered difficulties and unpleasant things at certain times, but compared with the Second Ruler that Fu Hua knew, who had long been completely dominated by hatred and malice, this "Xilin" was still filled with longing and yearning for a better life.
