Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Judas took two steps back, distancing herself from Kiana and Kallen. She wasn't going to be Kiana and the others' stepping stone; she'd had enough of being used as a height-increasing stepping stone.

Then Kiana stepped on Kallen's hand, climbed up first with Kallen's help, and then reached out to pull Kallen up.

"Ouch..." "Ouch..."

Kiana lost control of her strength, and Kallen, whom she had just pulled up, crashed into Kiana. Then, with a thud, the two of them fell off the wall.

"As expected of you."

Judas landed gently beside them, gave them a thumbs-up, then flipped his wrist so that his thumb was pointing downwards, making a gesture of contempt.

The three of them climbing over the wall were all clearly seen by Theresa from a distance through the window.

"Three idiots...they can even fall while trying to climb over a wall..."

With Kallen and Judas' help, Kiana was still able to fall... but what if they didn't help? Or what if they raised the wall higher, making it even harder for Kiana to climb over?

"Ugh, this is so annoying..."

Theresa took out the bookmark Kiana left in the "St. Freya Academy Renovation Project Report" and put it in the drawer along with the bookmark left by Himeko.

As for the "St. Freya Academy Renovation Project Report"... Theresa threw it directly into the trash can and sent a message to Himeko to cancel the fourth plan to raise the walls of St. Freya Academy.

After doing all that, Theresa went straight to arrest the trio who had climbed over the wall.

"Hahaha... Auntie, what are you doing here..." Kiana, caught red-handed, laughed awkwardly and touched her head.

"Maybe the scenery is just out for a stroll today... Theresa, would you like to join us for a walk and enjoy the beautiful moonlight?" Karen, with a wildflower in her mouth, struck a cool pose and extended an invitation to Theresa.

Duang——

Duang——

Theresa grabbed Kiana by the back of her collar and Kallen by the legs, dragging them back to the dormitory.

--------------

At the dinner table, Kiana sat upright, her mind filled with thoughts of how Theresa would scold her later.

"Sister Kallen, do you think it's too late for me to learn Kaslana's secret techniques from you now?" Kiana looked expectantly at Kallen, who was lying on the table pretending to be unconscious.

Kallen, who was pretending to be unconscious, opened one eye and cautiously looked around, then gave Kiana a look that said, "Good luck to you."

"It's too late. Good luck. I'll keep playing dead for now." With that, Karen closed her eyes and remained motionless.

Karen was knocked unconscious by Theresa, um... knocked unconscious.

However, Kiana didn't get the scolding she expected. Theresa didn't yell at her; instead, she brought her a large plate of fried chicken wings.

"Eat up. Mei said you didn't eat dinner either, you must be hungry."

Kiana tremblingly picked up a chicken wing, her heart filled with resistance, because Theresa only knew how to cook bitter melon... Could this chicken wing also be made from bitter melon? Could it be some kind of punishment from my period?

How is it? Is it good? Is it not sweet enough? Why isn't Kiana eating it yet? Waaah... I guess I can only make bitter things.

Not only Kiana was brainstorming, Theresa was also going on a mental rampage.

"Mmm, so delicious! So sweet, and there's even mashed potato inside!" Kiana couldn't help but smile happily. As expected, the headmaster still loves her!

"Eat more if you like it... that way it won't be a waste of my time learning from Mei." Theresa finally felt relieved; she was worried Kiana wouldn't like it.

"Mmm!" Kiana hugged the plate and moved closer to Theresa, trying to get as far away from Kallen as possible.

"Auntie should eat some too."

"Good~"

Strange... why does it feel like Kiana isn't being scolded? Kallen shut off her hearing and lay on the table pretending to be dead, but the more she pretended, the more something seemed off.

Why do I smell a fragrance now...?

Karen peeked through one eye, then suddenly opened both eyes wide.

"Kiana, you're eating something delicious and you didn't even call me!!" Kallen slammed her hands on the table and pounced on Kiana like a hungry tiger.

"You pretended to be dead so I could take all the punishment, I'm not giving you any, hehehe." Kiana made a face at Kallen, then stuffed the rest of the mashed potatoes and chicken wings into her mouth.

"Do not--"

Kallen held the plate that Kiana had licked clean, leaving not a trace of seasoning, in despair.

"Seeing everyone so energetic, they must have all eaten their fill!" Theresa sat on Judas's shoulders and lifted Kallen and Kiana up. "Well then, let's begin today's training!"

"Why now?!"

"Because you'll get beaten up when you're full!" Theresa waved her little fist and dragged Kiana and Kallen toward the training room.

"I hid all day, didn't even get to eat, and then Theresa made me get beaten up by Judas. Sakura, I'm so miserable!" Kallen hugged Yae Sakura and cried, recounting her tragic day.

"Really? But my punishment hasn't come yet! Encouraging Kiana to skip class... Kallen, don't forget that I'm also a music teacher at St. Freya Academy now~" Yae Sakura smiled and grabbed Kallen, dragging her into the training room once again.

"No~ no~!"

--------------

Carrying large and small bags, Jiuxiao, who had just gotten off the plane, circled around Judah.

"Why are you the only one who came to greet me? Where are the others?"

"You should look at the time... It's three in the morning. Everyone has classes tomorrow, they should be resting now." Judas took Jiuxiao's luggage and retorted irritably.

"Yeah, I completely forgot about that." Jiu Xiao patted his clumsy head, then pointed at Judas's shoulder. "You still have footprints on your shoulder. Did you use Theresa as a stepping stone again? Didn't you say you'd never be a stepping stone again?"

Judah glared at Jiuxiao and walked ahead on his own, carrying his luggage.

Would you refuse to carry your child on your back?

"As expected of you, I knew you would raise Theresa as your daughter."

Chapter 222 Let me explain!

After the London incident ended, Jiu Xiao had a good sleep until Kiana excitedly rushed into his room and woke him up.

Seeing Jiuxiao getting dressed, Kiana happily pounced on him.

"Nine Heavens! Nine Heavens! Nine Heavens!"

"Kiana, Kiana, Kiana!"

Jiuxiao carried Kiana as she pounced on him and spun her around twice.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, the two were filled with indescribable joy when they saw each other again.

"Mmm..." Kiana nestled in Jiuxiao's arms, greedily inhaling his scent.

Jiuxiao, who was disgusted by Yu Tu, felt all his fatigue disappear the moment he saw Kiana.

What in this world could be more heartwarming than watching the incredibly cute Kiana?

"Cough cough cough."

Hui Huo, who was leaning against the doorway and quietly watching the two, interrupted Jiu Xiao and Qiyana's tender moment by speaking.

"That's enough. It's only a little over a month and thirteen days apart. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?" Hui Huo turned his head away, pouting, and said with a look of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"Hehe, I can smell your jealousy from a mile away." Mei chuckled and took Huihuo's hand, leading her to Jiuxiao and Kiana's side.

"Long time no see. I'm relieved to see you're alright."

"I'm relieved to see that you're all safe and sound."

Jiuxiao opened his arms to Mei and Huihuo, embracing the three little ones.

--------------

The group of friends, including Jiuxiao and Kiana, sat together, listening to Jiuxiao recount his experiences from the past month of missions, which he described in bits and pieces.

"So... is that Mistelin guy really that troublesome?" Kiana propped her chin up with one hand while stuffing the other into her mouth with chocolate that Jiuxiao had brought back.

"Not bad, though a bit troublesome, but no match for me. I easily dealt with that guy with a little trick." Jiu Xiao tossed his hair and answered proudly.

"According to Jiu Xiao, Mistelin can manipulate space, turning dreams into reality and reality into dreams, and she can also resurrect herself repeatedly. She is indeed a very troublesome enemy. How exactly did Jiu Xiao defeat her?"

Mei's pen stopped on the notebook. Following Jiu Xiao's description, Mei recorded Yu Tu's abilities. However, Mei was very curious about how Jiu Xiao had defeated her with such overpowered abilities.

Jiuxiao scratched his head awkwardly. He couldn't very well tell Kiana and the others that he had fed himself to Yutu and disgusted her to death...

"Um... first do this... then do that... and then you'll defeat it... By the way, you guys have class, go to class first! I'll tell you when I get back."

Jiuxiao glanced at the time and immediately changed the subject, no longer answering Mei's question. After all, it was too graphic; Jiuxiao felt it could easily become a source of embarrassment for him.

"alright."

Mei put away her notebook. Since Jiuxiao was unwilling to talk about it, then that battle must have been a fierce and difficult duel, leaving an indelible wound in Jiuxiao's heart.

However, judging from the results, at least Jiuxiao is still intact.

"Then get some rest. We'll come find you after class." Mei got up, gently kissed Jiuxiao's cheek, then covered her face and ran out of the room.

Mei's bold move stunned the other three. Jiuxiao touched his cheek blankly. "Is this what it feels like to be reunited after a long separation? Not bad..."

"Mei is so cunning..." Kiana paused for a moment while eating chocolate, then turned around and kissed Jiuxiao.
