Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Unexpectedly, Guan Xing used a feint to retreat, bending down to dodge the attack and then sweeping his leg in the process.

Rita quickly withdrew her attack, revealing a defensive opening.

It's a pity that the distance was too great, which is exactly what stargazing wanted.

A fierce gust of wind immediately arose, forcing Rita back.

The sense of danger has not subsided.

The next instant, a figure flashed out from the right.

A sharp pain shot through my abdomen, and before I could react, I was struck hard.

When Guan Xing was knocked down, he looked up and saw Fu Hua, who had been weak before.

"Miss Kiana, please leave with me. Your recklessness will bring disaster to everyone."

Rita reassured him, feeling more confident seeing Fu Hua come to help.

Judging solely from their aura, she concluded that the two were at their last gasp.

“…”

Kiana hesitated, unsure of whose advice to take.

She was more inclined towards Ziyao, but if she defied fate, she would only implicate her.

"I'm sorry to have to obey."

Ziyao withdrew from stargazing and prepared to run away again.

Fu Hua naturally wouldn't give them a chance, charging straight towards Kiana with a clear objective.

As they drew nearer, a sense of danger suddenly arose within them.

Relying on her experience and intuition, Fu Hua quickly jumped back, dodging the sharp sword strike.

Her clothes had a small tear, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

It wasn't the fact that I was hurt, but rather—

"The Great Void Sword Technique..."

Fu Hua murmured, savoring the moment that had just passed.

It was incredibly exquisite, even containing a trace of pure sword intent.

This move was a unique skill she had created, and no one had ever been able to learn it to such a degree, nor had it been passed on to outsiders.

"Then goodbye, you two."

The ends of her long hair gradually turned white. The girl waved her hand and threw the broken half of the salted fish sword to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, she and Kiana jumped off the cliff together.

Volume 1: Chapter 104 Mei, I'm Sorry

"I'm sorry, Lord Otto."

The plan failed, and Kiana was taken away by Miss Ziyao.

At the mountaintop, Rita blamed herself for failing to complete the task entrusted to her by fate.

The valley below the cliff was incredibly deep, and the Valkyries searched for a long time but still couldn't find Kiana's location.

"The responsibility for this lies with me; I'm simply not as skilled as others."

"Lord Fu Hua, you are just weak, please don't underestimate yourself."

"..."

Otto stopped the two from talking.

He already knew the general cause of the incident, but he didn't expect that even Fu Hua's intervention failed, which couldn't be entirely attributed to chance.

It seems he needs to re-evaluate his relationship with Ziyao, this ally who knows him so well...

"Continue the search. You have one week."

"Understood, Lord Bishop."

Rita said firmly that if she could not complete the mission, the bishop would probably send Lady Durandal, who was on vacation.

She certainly couldn't let that happen.

Therefore, in order to find the two, Rita requested two teams of Valkyries from the Far East.

The water dripped and gurgled continuously.

Wet.

The fabric felt sticky and uncomfortable against the skin.

A clear spring flows down the ravine, wetting the ground and splashing up water droplets.

This is at the bottom of the valley, a cool and dark place.

"Achoo!"

A fire was lit in the middle to ward off the cold and dampness.

The area outside the wall was shrouded in a maze set up by the Stargazers, preventing the Valkyries who came down to investigate from finding them.

"It's so cold. I wonder if there are snakes in this godforsaken place?"

Kiana sat in front of the fire, looking somewhat worried.

Unexpectedly, Fate had reinforcements, so they had no choice but to abandon their escape plans and hide for the time being.

"Rusting..."

Ziyao changed her clothes, rolled them into a strip, and wrung them out forcefully. Water droplets splashed onto the ground, creating countless tiny flowers.

There was a mountain spring not far away, and I got wet when I came in to hide.

Similar to a waterfall cave, its existence also provided shelter for the two.

"Aren't you going to change?"

"I...I know, don't look around!"

Not only is my hair messy, but I've also gained a lot of weight recently, so I definitely won't look good after changing my clothes.

Kiana felt awkward at the thought that Ziyao would see such a body.

In fact, she has a very good figure.

Even though she seems carefree on the surface, she secretly pays attention to her weight gain.

This is probably what they call a girl's troubles.

Why should we care about this?

After getting used to this kind of life, Ziyao didn't have much resistance to it.

After all, as the saying goes, one should be content with one's lot and not overthink things.

He took out the shrine maiden's robe from the system space and handed it to Kiana.

"Ziyao...you wouldn't happen to be the blue Doraemon, would you?"

Kiana reached out and took the soft fabric, wondering how Ziyao had produced the item out of thin air.

"Could you turn your head away...? I need to change my clothes."

"Okay, I understand."

Ziyao sighed helplessly and went to the water curtain to observe her surroundings.

This is a recessed part of the mountain, which was preserved intact thanks to the mountain spring and waterfall blocking its path.

Kiana had already changed her clothes when she returned to the campfire.

The shrine maiden's outfit exudes a sense of holiness and solemnity, clinging tightly to the girl's delicate figure, with a blue sash tied in a flower knot at the waist.

Her long hair cascaded down like a snow waterfall, a thousand strands hanging down.

The girl was like a piece of warm jade, naturally beautiful, making it hard to look away.

Kiana carefully smoothed the stray hairs from her forehead, her cheeks slightly flushed. "What... is it not suitable for me...?"

As if changing the subject, she continued, "Is this your only outfit?"

"Hmm, it's a little cool. I can put them on once they're dry."

"That won't do, you're so weak."

"Nonsense, it's just a normal human body, how can it compare to a Valkyrie?"

Looking up, Ziyao saw the stars.

She leaned against the wall, closing her eyes to rest, wearing a velvet robe.

It looks fluffy; it must feel really nice to touch.

"Let me borrow it for a moment."

Wearing only underwear feels a little strange.

"No."

Guan Xing refused, holding a feather fan to cover his face.

Kiana was immediately confused. Aren't you the same person?

She had some understanding of Ziyao's abilities, and when she first heard about them, she specifically pestered Ziyao, hoping she would demonstrate them.

"...It might be because I've been using the dolls too frequently lately."

Ziyao rubbed her forehead. The words just now seemed to be hers, but they didn't quite seem like them.

It felt very natural, without any sense of incongruity.

Could it be that I've developed a split personality?

After putting on their fleece robes, Ziyao and Qiyana sat around the fire, feeling much warmer.
