Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

"Qi Cat? I've never heard of that breed..."

Penglaiji Jiuxiao searched his mind for all kinds of cats, but found his mind blank and had no clue what a Qi cat was.

"But... brother, look at this cat..."

"It's impossible, don't even think about it. We don't have the means to keep a pet, and since it has managed to survive in the Honkai on its own, it must have its own way of surviving. There's no need for me to disturb its life anymore..."

Jiuxiao patted the kitten's head, then took out some of the food he carried with him and gave some to the kitten.

After all, as a Herrscher, he only needed to absorb energy to survive. Jiuxiao would save the food distributed by the base and feed it to Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

The girl is at the age of rapid growth, and although some people already have a D-cup size that surpasses the vast majority of people, it's always good to eat more.

"Actually... I can share some of my food with it, that would be enough..."

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked at Jiuxiao with longing eyes. She knew that Jiuxiao would always save food for her, so she both respected and liked Jiuxiao.

"Foolish. This isn't a matter of enough or not. Everyone in the Firemoth crew is struggling to survive; how could they possibly allow you to share your food with a cat? The most likely outcome is that this cat will be captured and used as reserve food once it enters the base..."

"..."

"Let's go. It has its own life, and we have ours. The best outcome is for us not to disturb each other."

"..."

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao looked at the kitten with lingering affection, then squatted down and stroked its fur one last time.

"Well then... goodbye. I hope to see you again in the future."

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao waved to the cat, and the cat, in a very human-like manner, meowed goodbye to Jiuxiao and the other person.

It's a pity that the power of creation can't work on this little kitten, otherwise Jiuxiao would have just grabbed it and taken it away, and wouldn't have cared about those guys at the base.

However, if the power of creation can function, replication, genetic modification, and species breeding will be a piece of cake. The idea that the ground cannot support life is utter nonsense to Jiuxiao. At that point, Jiuxiao alone could sustain the entire Fire-Chasing Moth, and even the whole world.

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao smiled and nudged the absent-minded Jiuxiao with his hand.

"Is my brother daydreaming again?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I was just thinking about the future when the Firemoth will flourish..."

"You dream even more than I do."

"Who knows if our dreams are real or not~ By the way, let me tell you, I know a very amazing woman. For her, the difference between dreams and reality is only whether she wants them to or not. She can really turn dreams into reality and reality into dreams if she wants to."

"Oh, wow, that's amazing... You seem to admire her a lot. I'm curious, is she my sister-in-law? Or do I even have a sister-in-law?"

"Hmm, not only are there, but there's more than one. Speaking of which, I get really excited! This brings me to your sisters-in-law; each of them has her own distinct characteristics..."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao immediately perked up and began telling Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao about the fun things he used to do with Kiana and the others.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmm..."

Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao gave perfunctory responses, clearly indicating that none of what Jiuxiao said was the answer she wanted to hear. But the more Jiuxiao talked, the happier she became, completely enjoying herself.

Finally, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, who was getting more and more unhappy, chuckled and stretched out her soft, boneless little hand, slowly touching Jiuxiao's waist, pinching the tender flesh there, and twisting it hard.

The next moment, a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, rang out from the heavens.

"And there's more than one, brother, you're really good at making things up. Drown in your beautiful dreams!"

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao turned her head, tossed her hair, and slapped Jiuxiao's face hard before walking ahead angrily.

Chapter 261 If you insist on picking it up

After being in charge of the war zone patrol for the first time, the task fell to Jiu Xiao and his companion for several days in a row.

The purpose is simply to provide Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens with ample experience in fighting against the Honkai creatures. Also, once Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens has fought off most of them, Nine Heavens will be responsible for clearing the field.

The Nine Heavens' ability to clear the field is much faster than the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple wielding a greatsword and spinning around, or Seele slowly hacking away with her scythe.

One day, after Jiuxiao and Penglaiji Jiuxiao returned from their patrol of the war zone, they heard a cat meowing happily.

At first, I thought it might be some new type of Honkai creature, but then I wondered if it might be the same little kitten from before.

So the two followed the sound and found that it really was the cat they had encountered on their patrol route. However, next to it was a larger yellow rat named Ray.

"Hehehe... What an adorable little guy."

Emisha crouched down next to the cat, gently rubbing its belly. Her usually fierce face now wore a charming and cheerful smile.

After looking around and making sure no one else was around, Jiu Xiao and Penglai Temple Jiu Xiao squatted down to the side and happily petted the cat together.

Lost in the joy of petting the cat, Amy didn't notice Jiu Xiao and the other person approaching.

"I never knew you, Emisha, had such a gentle side. You can't judge a book by its cover."

When Amysha heard Jiuxiao say that, she immediately frowned and showed a look of disgust and aversion, wanting to see which guy was calling her Amysha again.

"Don't call me Amy! Uh... Jiuxiao, what brings you guys here..."

As Jiuxiao petted the cat, he said, "I just finished my patrol mission and came over to check when I heard the meowing."

"Tch, don't you dare tell anyone about this, or I'll kill you all."

"Okay, but how much hush money are you going to give?"

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens happily extended its hand to Amisa.

Pure white paper is easily stained with any color, especially on a big black stain like Jiu Xiao.

"You two deserve to die at the hands of the Honkai creatures. Take it!"

Emisa wanted nothing more than to devour the despicable Penglaiji Jiuxiao alive, but she still took out 60 Honkai Crystals from her backpack and placed them in Penglaiji Jiuxiao's hand.

"Hehehe, there really was hush money! What a day of big profits!"

It was originally just a joke, and Penglaiji Jiuxiao never expected that Amisa would actually give it to him. However, even if she didn't give it to him, Penglaiji Jiuxiao and Jiuxiao didn't intend to tell the others in the base about the cat's existence.

After all, starving people would actually eat this little cat.

"Meow~"

While Jiuxiao and Amisa were making a dirty deal at Penglai Temple, Jiuxiao was happily spinning around with a kitten in his arms.

Upon seeing Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, the cat meowed happily and clung to either Jiuxiao or Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

"Brother, look, it still remembers us!"

Penglai Temple Nine-Shō happily reached out and teased the cat's chin.

"Meow~"

"Hmm, creatures that survive the Honkai always have unique abilities; they're quite intelligent, aren't they?"

Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao pushed Amisa aside, and the two of them happily played with the kitten.

As Amy listened to the conversation between Jiu Xiao and the other person, her face grew increasingly dark.

Snapped--

Emisa held Jiuxiao with her left arm and Penglaiji Jiuxiao with her right arm, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.

"I said...have you seen this cat before?"

"Yes, I encountered it during my first patrol. I even fed it some food then..."

"Yes, but my brother said we didn't have the means to keep it, so we didn't take it with us..."

"is it?"

Emisha smiled and squinted her eyes, unconsciously tightening her grip on their shoulders.

“Let me think… When was the first time I saw it? It seems like it was after your first patrol… It was standing at the base gate, looking at me longingly.”

"Hehehe... Looks like they came back with us."

"I'll kill you two bastards! Didn't you know there was a cat following you?! Give me back the Honkai Crystal!!"

"Sorry, sorry... I didn't notice~"

"Meow~"

"Look, even the cat is saying it's not our responsibility~"

duang——

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Emisha thrashed about, her two swollen, red fists thrashing about in pain, tears streaming down her face.

"You damned brother and sister, are your brains made of stone or nothing?"

Jiu Xiao rolled his eyes, speechless. It's clearly because you, the medical staff, are too weak...

Penglai Temple Nine-Shō scratched his head awkwardly. "My mind is blank" meant that he had no memory... Oh well, I've decided that I'll beat up Emisha when I regain my memory."

After a while, once Amisa had calmed down, Di Jiuxiao and Penglai Temple Jiuxiao roared angrily again.

"You two irresponsible bastards! If I hadn't found it early, this kitten would have starved to death long ago!"

Jiu Xiao picked at his ear, ignoring Amisa's words. Then he picked up the kitten and gently weighed it in his hands.

"Why are you yelling so loudly? It's not as serious as you say. It was perfectly fine before we found it, wasn't it?"
