Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Both Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked very unpleasant.

Jiuxiao was a little dazed; the difference between the people in the two worlds was quite significant… Bronya's leg wasn't broken, her double helix ponytail had become a single ponytail, and she wasn't a little girl anymore. And what was with that imposing leader-like demeanor…?

Hmm... Also, Seele and Bronya get along very well, which is normal. It's also normal for girls to be affectionate... But Seele, why do you have that perverted look on your face?!

Arriving in an unknown world and meeting two similar people should have brought double the joy, but why... did it turn out like this?

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens was extremely worried because all the information she filled out was blank; she couldn't write anything except her name. Even more miraculously, she also found something about herself in this world through the Houmu robot guide…

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao glanced worriedly at Jiuxiao beside him. Just like himself, nothing in this world concerned him. But Jiuxiao didn't care at all and wasn't worried in the slightest.

Sigh, I wonder if I was as cheerful and cheerful as him in the past?

Bronya gently nudged Seele with her hand, signaling her to answer why their information was almost entirely blank.

"Ahem... Well... it seems that both of them suffered memory trauma, so they don't remember anything." Seele helplessly shrugged. They said they didn't know, so she couldn't very well force them to answer.

Then Seele, like a die-hard fan, praised Bronya to Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao from various angles, and introduced Bronya...

Bronya reached out and pinched Seele's mouth shut, stopping her from launching into a series of embarrassing introductions. Then, smiling, she said to Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao:

"Just call me Bronya. I'm not a leader. I'm just someone who wants to live, just like everyone else."

Seele pulled her hand away from Bronya's, which was pinching her mouth, and said with a flushed face, "Big sister is so modest~ But I like big sister just the way she is!"

Bronya pressed Seele's face against hers with one hand, giving Jiuxiao and the other a embarrassed look.

"Please excuse my poor appearance. Although Seele and I aren't related by blood, she's my most important sister, but sometimes she can really be a bit of a nuisance..."

"What? Really?! When...?"

"Now."

"Uh."

"What an enviable pair of sisters with such different personalities," Penglaiji Jiuxiao couldn't help but remark.

Jiuxiao heard Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's voice and reached out to embrace her.

"What's there to envy? Aren't we siblings with very different personalities but a close relationship?"

"You are indeed too optimistic, while I..."

"No, it's that you're too confused right now."

Chapter 246

Seele arranged two adjacent rooms for Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao... well, actually it was just one room, separated by a wooden board.

Even the wooden planks were moved over with the help of two people, with Seele asking them to help.

"There's a bed, a lamp, and a small wardrobe... a perfect bedroom. This room is yours from now on. You can use whatever you want here, just like it's your own home." Seele clapped her hands, introducing the room to the two of them.

Jiu Xiao looked up at the dilapidated roof, feeling that it might collapse at any moment. Large sections of plaster had also peeled off the walls, revealing the steel bars, cement, and electrical wires underneath.

Oh no, although I've been homeless, I've had good days, and now it's hard to go back.

"Just make do with it. It's already pretty good to have a relatively complete room like this these days..." Seele said earnestly, patting Jiuxiao's shoulder.

"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. You must be exhausted today, right? Get some rest, goodnight." Seele waved goodbye to the two of them and then skipped away.

Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao remained in the room, staring at each other blankly.

"Which side do you want?"

Jiuxiao pointed to the two rooms on either side of the wooden plank of the room. Because it was the same room divided into two parts, one room had a window and the other did not.

"Let's go to this one outside. I want to see more of the scenery outside," said Penglaiji Jiuxiao, pointing to the room with windows outside.

Okay. Good night, get some rest.

"Ah."

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

Jiuxiao conjured a small black hole in the room, carefully controlling the force so as not to attract the attention of Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple outside. After leaving a warning device in the room, he crawled into the black hole.

When they were penniless and powerless, they and Kiana literally devoured Honkai Beasts and slept on the streets. Now that they have money and power, if they're still sleeping in a shabby shack, then all that power and money was for nothing!

Jiuxiao lay comfortably inside the black hole, where he had built a small house long ago. Because spacetime is distorted by gravity, time inside the black hole is out of sync with the outside world, allowing Jiuxiao to freely alter time within the black hole.

So hehehe... don't overthink it, it just means I can sleep a little longer.

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

As night deepened, everyone had to drift off to sleep.

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao, who had lost her memory, was no exception, except that her dreams were somewhat different from others...

In her dream, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao stood before a magnificent building. She was both intimately familiar with it and utterly unfamiliar with it.

A place that felt familiar yet whose origin I couldn't place; a gray sky and frigid air, with distorted light radiating across the dead earth.

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens didn't know how she got here, nor why she was here. But an unknown force within her guided her forward...

As they walked, the scenery gradually became clearer, yet they still couldn't recall their origins. The overwhelming emotions made Penglai Temple Nine-Shō's heart race. This feeling was like being caught in a swirling spiral, with the exit right in front of them, yet they couldn't reach it.

Gradually, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple saw a beam of light, a beacon, an end point…

But the destination... turned out to be a sleeping girl.

The girl's eyes were closed, as if she were in a dream from which she could never wake. A sadness always lingered on her face. In this empty world, who was she waiting for...?

A strange emotion welled up in Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao's heart. Looking at the sleeping girl, she seemed to remember something and walked towards her, wanting to wake her up.

"..."

The outstretched hand stopped, and Penglaiji Jiuxiao withdrew it. The confusion and fear of losing her memory lingered in her heart. Even if she awakened the girl, what could she do? She couldn't do anything alone; she would only be a burden…

As Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple turned to leave, a sudden alarm sounded, startling her awake from her dream.

"It was just a dream..."

When Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens opened its eyes, it saw the unfamiliar ceiling.

"Alarm! Alarm! Base under attack! Level 1 alert! Level 1 alert!"

Jiuxiao dressed and came out of the house, glancing at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. An unusual fluctuation had just occurred around Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, and then the attack on the base happened.

"What happened, brother?" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked at Jiuxiao in confusion. The piercing alarm made her a little flustered, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Let's go out and take a look. If it's a Honkai attack, we can help out."

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

"Attention all units! Launch an immediate counterattack! We must stop them from entering!"

Outside, before even seeing anyone, Jiu Xiao and the other person heard Bronya's loud commands, mobilizing people from various departments.

A powerful explosion erupted from the ground, accompanied by a cacophony of shouts that shook the entire underground station.

Bronya remained calm and collected as the department staff came down, but upon hearing the commotion, her expression darkened, and she immediately called out to Seele.

“Seele, bring the first squad with me. The fortifications at the entrance may have been breached. We must stop the Honkai creatures from rushing into the station immediately.”

"learn."

The smile that had graced Seele's face during the day was gone; things were more complicated than she had imagined.

This is an isolated island surrounded by the sea, accessible only by a single path. Without a Herrscher to command them, the Honkai creatures are like a disorganized mob; in recent years, only scattered attacks have occurred. Why, why such a large-scale attack now…?

“We want to go too, we can help.” Penglaiji Jiuxiao called out to Bronya, she also wanted to do her part.

Seele was overjoyed to see the two of them and was about to greet them when Bronya sternly stopped them.

"No, you stay here. Fighting Honkai creatures requires training; sending inexperienced people up there will only lead to their deaths."

"Don't say that. We're pretty good at fighting. After all, we've survived all this time on our own. Right, little sister?" Jiu Xiao put her arm around Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao and winked at her where Bronya couldn't see.

Penglaiji Jiuxiao understood Jiuxiao's meaning. With someone supporting him, Penglaiji Jiuxiao's voice became more assertive.

“Brother is right, we can help everyone.”

“No, stay here. I will protect you. There’s nothing you can do about fighting the Honkai…” Bronya was interrupted by Seele halfway through her sentence.

"Alright, alright, big sister. The Jiuxiao siblings are indeed very powerful; I might not even be their match."

"That won't do either. The battlefield isn't a place where you can survive just by fighting." Bronya had already sternly rejected Jiuxiao and the others' request.

"Big sister, please believe me. They really are amazing." Seele pushed Bronya away, then turned and winked at Jiuxiao and Penglaiji Jiuxiao.

"I believe in your abilities, but I also hope you are aware of your own capabilities. If you encounter danger, hide and hold out until our rescue! Don't try to fight it out!"

Chapter 247 Heroic Debut

Holding the Star Sword and the three-piece set of the Illusory Weapon Array, Jiu Xiao from Penglai Temple began to provide support in various battlefronts as they listened to the alarms coming from the communicator.
