"You blockhead, why did you have to pick up anything? Even a table leg would be an antique, but you had to pick up a jar of 'Spring Never Fades,' sigh!" it said, sighing.

Seeing that Fu Hua was doing so poorly in the modern world, it had no choice but to rely on itself.

"Really, it seems that immortals really can't do without it," Cangxuan Zhishu thought to himself with a smug smile.

Fu Hua wanted to explain that she no longer consumed the "Springtime Elixir," it was merely a nostalgic practice, and besides, she was wealthy...

But seeing that Cangxuan Zhishu was finally no longer drowsy and sleepy, but was working hard with enthusiasm and embracing a new life, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Fortunately, let it be; it's rare to find something I enjoy.

...

Inside the miHoYo company,

"What is this? The second Honkai Impact scenario?" Su Luo looked at the folder and glanced at it. She remembered that this thing had been made a long time ago.

However, she hasn't been to the office for the past few days, and she's unsure if the boss will send this out.

A staff member nearby reminded her, "Editor Su Luo, this is the plot the boss plans to release next."

Su Luo nodded secretly, confirming her guess.

"Then... publish." Su Luo carefully uploaded the file and selected update.

Judging from the release date, it should be just in time to complete the previous part of the game's storyline.

Su Luo nodded secretly, then noticed the woman next to her. Her shining golden hair made people feel a sense of warmth just by looking at her.

They're always in a panic, overly nervous and shy, and can't let loose.

However, in real life, she must be a very lively girl! Su Luo thought,

Recently, the company has had a lot more staff, and they all seem unfamiliar to her. It seems that the unscrupulous boss's promise of three shifts might actually be coming true.

The company is no longer as deserted as it was at the beginning. There are many more people and many partners, including music, animation, and comics. It is said that many Anti-Entropy staff members have also joined, but it is unknown whether this is true or not.

"By the way, what's your name? I've never seen you before," Su Luo asked, looking at her recent work progress.

"Hehe, my name is Susanna. I used to work in publicity for Destiny Media, but this time I've been transferred to miHoYo to handle some matters." Susanna scratched her head, looking embarrassed.

She was also tactful and did not mention her name in the Valkyrie Squad.

"But don't worry, I will definitely work hard. I've done my homework and studied the game very carefully."

However, I am only good at editing animation, so why did the bishop ask me to come here?

I have absolutely no idea how to play games, help!

Her eyes sparkled. Wait, was this part of the story supposed to be an upload option?

Susana thought for a moment, then quickly abandoned the idea. She figured she must remember correctly.

Moreover, everyone would probably like the story to be released earlier. There are also a lot of people urging me to update the story. After I joined the company, they told me to urge them to update the story as soon as I got there!

Ugh—but why do I feel like I'm about to be fired at any moment...? Susana lowered her head, clutching her hands behind her back.

"Sushana, that's a lovely name." Su Luo smiled slightly. "I believe in you. Keep it up!"

"Um, um... Ugh—" Susana kept her head down, blushing slightly, because she suddenly remembered something.

"what happened?"

"The boss seemed to say that part would be sent out tomorrow, but this part is being sent out today," Susana said, pointing to another spot in the sky filled with shooting stars.

Su Luo's eyes darkened. She hadn't even looked at the documents carefully yet, and her boss hadn't given her any instructions before leaving...

"Is...is everything alright?" Susana stammered, like a frightened kitten.

"I guess so," Su Luo said.

Chapter 27 You, Su Luo, how dare you frame me!

Cecilia, having recovered, looked at Kiana and Sirin, smiled, and said, "Alright, I'm fine now, aren't I? Don't cry."

She didn't want her daughters to worry about her, and besides, things were getting better, weren't they?

Xilin sniffled, tears still streaming down her face. Her golden eyes, which had previously maintained a semblance of authority, now held a blank, misty look.

Kiana immediately rushed in and nestled into Cecilia's arms.

"Mom, Mom, are you really okay?" Kiana patted Cecilia's body with both hands, as if trying to check on her mother's condition.

Cecilia hugged Kiana, gently catching her flailing hands with one hand, and said helplessly.

"Kiana, I'm okay, don't cry."

"Swear it!" Kiana raised her head, her eyes defiant, filled with distrust.

“Alright, alright, I swear,” Cecilia said, raising her left hand slightly and glancing at Lomo.

"I promise I won't get into any trouble before Kiana and Sirin get married!"

With unwavering conviction, Kiana looked at the book and then burst into laughter through her tears, "Then Mom, you'll definitely be alright,"

“Because…because,” Kiana started to say her own part, but then thought of Mei and changed the subject, “because my second sister is such a homebody, she definitely won’t get married!”

Initially somewhat at a loss, Sirin looked up at Kiana blankly, a little confused.

Although she certainly didn't want anything to happen to her mother, and had no plans to get married, how could her mother involve her in her words?

“Oh? Looks like my little daughter has someone she likes? Come on, tell Mommy about it,” Cecilia teased, scratching Kiana’s cheek.

"Um...not really," Kiana said, fidgeting with her fingers, a little embarrassed.

Wait, how did things turn out like this? Kiana, unusually, regained her composure and began to reflect.

As for the person she likes, it's Mei, of course! Ugh—she really wants to be close to Mei, and it would be best if she could eat Mei's food all the time, it's so delicious.

Kiana's eyes sparkled, and a little drool unconsciously trickled from the corner of her mouth. She remembered the fried chicken Mei made last night—golden, crispy, and delicious... She just couldn't stop eating it. It's just that... she ate two before they were fully fried and Mei scolded her for it.

Cecilia looked at Kiana, who was initially shy. If that was normal, then... why was she drooling?

Is Kiana really that thirsty? Wait, I must be mistaken!

Mei watched this scene with joy for Kiana, but couldn't help but think of her own father.

Her father, Raiden Ryoma, wanted to stay here after being rescued.

However, due to the progress of the anti-entropy work and other related matters, he left after spending a few days with Mei.

Before leaving, he paused for a moment, then said to Mei, "Mei, looking back now, there are many things I haven't done well as a father..."

"That incident wasn't your fault, and you don't need to dwell on your guilt. If you really feel guilty, then move forward. Becoming a Valkyrie isn't bad either; you can protect more people."

Raiden Ryoma's eyes were filled with encouragement, but Mei's eyes still held hesitation.

Perhaps it was in front of her father that she revealed the vulnerability that a girl should have, and also expressed what she had been thinking all along.

"Father...if only that day, I..." She placed her hand on her chest, her expression a mixture of regret and resentment.

If she weren't so weak, if she were stronger, if her emotions were more stable... But then, would she still be able to meet Kiana?

A flicker of confusion crossed Mei's mind. She then realized clearly that what she might care about more was—Kiana, the one who had saved her.

A ray of light shone into her world, and she desperately wanted to chase after it.

Yes, that's right, you coward. You don't care about the disaster as much as you think, because they deserved it.

What you should care about most is Kiana. Only then will I lend you my power, just like Seele did in the video.

The characters within her were also mocking her, each word piercing her heart.

[You don't even understand what you want or why you're protecting anyone, yet you want my power? Stop dreaming!]

Mei lowered her head, her expression indistinct, and no one could see what she was thinking at that moment.

"That's something I should share with you! Don't worry, I'll help you make up for your mistakes. Isn't that the meaning of being a father?"

He touched Mei's hair, and Mei felt a warmth she hadn't felt in a long time.

Raiden Ryoma nodded. He would continue to oversee ME Company's work in Changkong City. As a father, he would also try to make up for the disaster his daughter had caused, as long as it made her happy.

"Okay, that's settled then, Mei. Cheer up, don't hesitate any longer."

"If you want to go back, I can take you back anytime."

The last words Raiden Ryoma left for Mei before he left were that he was still not good with words, but he would do everything he could to protect his daughter.

Afterwards, he went to Changkong City with the Entropy Reversal team.

"Mei?" Luo Mo looked at Mei, whose eyes were no longer focused, and tentatively called out.

Mei took a deep breath, her thoughts returning to the present.

Changkong City... or Kiana, which is more important to you?

Mei felt a little confused. What she cared more about was whether Kiana would accept her if she made that choice.

Now that she has found her father, why does she still want to stay in St. Freya? Looking at Kiana grinning foolishly beside her, she vaguely had the answer in her heart.

It turns out that, subconsciously, I had already made my choice.

Cecilia shook her head at Kiana's performance, then looked at Sirin, who was still completely bewildered.

She opened her arms and waved her wrists slightly in her direction, gesturing for someone to come quickly into her arms. "Come on, Sirin."

With tears welling in her eyes, Sirin stepped forward, pushed Kiana away, and threw herself into Cecilia's arms.

The scene seemed to replay itself; taking advantage of Cecilia's inattention, she subtly lifted Cecilia's shirt, revealing a shimmering white...

"Hey, wait, second sister," Kiana, ignoring being pushed aside, quickly stepped between Lomo and Cecilia to block their view after seeing Sirin's actions.

Luo Mo still noticed her waist; purple lines still crawled across her fair skin, an ominous symbol in this world, representing the devastation of collapse. The alluring purple hue clung to the middle of her waist, constantly shifting, and by chance, it formed a strange pattern.

Luo Mo wasn't surprised by her situation. His mother-in-law's problem wasn't serious, but adapting a regular Holy Mark would take a few days.

Sirin, however, was unaware of this.

She hugged Cecilia and burst into tears, "Mommy, please don't get hurt! Waaah, if you get better, I promise I'll behave well, I won't argue with that paramecium anymore, and I'll go to class and do well on my exams..."

Cecilia paused slightly, her hand stroking Cecilia's head. Her expression showed surprise and an urge to laugh. She then spoke softly, "Cilin... are you telling the truth?"

She nodded vigorously, afraid that something might have really happened to Cecilia. "If Mom is really okay, I will do it."

Celine continued, making concessions reluctantly, as if she had made a tremendous sacrifice.
