Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

"Fellow Destiny members, please pause your work for a moment. I, Bishop Otto Apocalypse of Destiny, have something to announce to you."

You've probably all seen the various negative reports about the S-class Valkyrie Jiuxiao on the headlines of Destiny not long ago.

After a thorough investigation by Amber and me, we discovered that all such news was a rumor! And that Green Lily is a spy! A spy from beyond the heavens! She intends to sow discord between us and the Nine Heavens, weakening the power of Destiny! …”

Jiuxiao was too lazy to read any further. Anyway, it was just a matter of explaining the rumors and then shifting the blame to the extraterrestrials.

As for Otto's apology, Jiuxiao has already accepted it, after all, Otto has given too much.

Because Otto decided to create Kamen Rider "Kito-Dragon" as the new armor for Nine Heavens.

Jiuxiao strongly stated that compared to "JiTuTongLong", his mere reputation is utterly insignificant.

Destiny provides each Valkyrie working at Destiny headquarters with an independent apartment, and Nine Heavens is no exception, though she has only stayed there a few times.

Jiuxiao opened the door and returned to the house he hadn't been to in a long time. He found Youlan Dale sitting on the sofa, having been waiting for him for a long time.

Chapter 338 The heart isn't in the middle, so what's wrong with having a little favoritism?

Yulandel sat on the sofa, feeling somewhat uneasy. She felt like something was off about her...

When Otto told her that Jiuxiao had reappeared, for the first time she interrupted her training plan not because of a mission, and ran to find Jiuxiao.

I ran to Otto's office, but neither Otto nor Jiuxiao were there. Then the alarm went off, saying that there was a Honkai Beast attack.

When Yulandel arrived at the target site, only the dormant Kukulkan and Dr. Changguang and others who had come to investigate remained.

After learning from Changguang and the others that Jiuxiao had taken Huihuo to the apartment area, Youlandail rushed to Jiuxiao's apartment in a great hurry.

Standing in front of Jiu Xiao's house, Youlan Dale was somewhat at a loss, her hand raised in mid-air, not pressing the doorbell for a long time.

Upon hearing that Jiuxiao had returned, all she could think about was seeing him. She believed that she could see the person she longed for as soon as she pressed the doorbell.

嗏

The door opened, and Huihuo stood in the entryway, looking at Youlan Dale in surprise.

Then, Yulandal didn't know what happened between herself and Huihuo. She only remembered that she was vaguely pulled inside by Huihuo, sat on the sofa, and then that was it.

When she saw Huihuo disheveled in Jiuxiao's room in Yulandal, her mind went completely blank.

Although Durandal usually seems silly and only thinks about fighting and training, after Rita misunderstood her and Jiuxiao last time, Rita did a lot of research on improper relationships between men and women.

No wonder Jiuxiao and Huihuo are usually so close. So that's what kind of relationship Jiuxiao and Huihuo have?

What should I do...? Turns out I'm the other woman/woman?

"No, no! Yulan Dale, wake up!"

Yulandel patted her face, forcing herself to calm down.

"What are you talking about... I just came to check on Jiuxiao's situation! Why are you thinking about it so much!"

"Yulandel, what are you saying? Have some tea and something to eat first!"

Hui Huo placed a dessert and tea on the coffee table, then brewed a cup of tea for Youlan Dale.

After finishing, Huihuo picked up the small cake, lazily lay down on the sofa, and slowly ate it while saying to Durandal:

"You must have come here to see Jiuxiao, right? But unfortunately, I don't know where Jiuxiao went. But since he left me here, he'll definitely come back to pick me up soon."

"Um…"

Yulandel looked at the tea leaves that filled a third of the teacup, silently closed her eyes, took a small sip, and then decisively put the teacup down.

No wonder Huihuo herself doesn't drink tea; it turns out she knows she can't brew tea...

Having been secretly watching Yulandal's radiance, when she saw Yulandal take a sip and put down her teacup, her tense heart sank instantly.

If even Youlandale can't drink it, then Jiuxiao probably won't like it either.

Hui Huo's whole demeanor darkened, and he curled up into a ball, turning into a gloomy little mushroom rotting in a corner.

Yulandel: "Uh... Rita has quite a bit of insight into the tea ceremony. If Miss Huihuo wants to learn more about the tea ceremony, she can try to ask Rita for advice."

Upon hearing Rita's name, Huihuo immediately pictured an elegant maid in public, but a perverted lolicon in private. If he actually followed Durandal's advice and went to see Rita, he might get groped and have many cute photos taken of him, only to be then blackmailed with those photos…

"Miss Rita... never mind, let's just leave it at that!"

"Okay, I was just being nosy."

Jiuxiao pushed open the door and walked in.

Youlan Dale and Jiuxiao stared at each other, stunned.

The moment I saw Durandal, it felt as if the heavens had opened up to the beginning of the universe, when planets gathered and life was born…

No wonder I've always felt like I've forgotten something...

The reason I was so eager to return to my original world was because Durandal was still locked in a standoff with Su!

I completely forgot about this! And I was just chatting and laughing with Su outside the World Wall! Damn it, I'm no human!

Looking at Jiuxiao, who had become more mature and had a deeper look in his eyes, Yulandal was also filled with deep self-reproach.

If he hadn't been careless and gotten caught up in the Sumeru Mustard Seed by the Second Divine Key, Jiuxiao wouldn't have been teleported to the unknown place by Su while trying to save him.

In a dream, I lived for ten thousand years, witnessing the history of the struggle of a previous civilization against its collapse, and the stories of heroes who were not recognized by the world...

Although these memories that are not one's own will gradually fade and be forgotten according to the body's protective mechanisms, they will only be gradually restored by touching those real people again.

And what about the Nine Heavens?

How many hardships and trials must he have gone through to become the way he is today?

(Nine Heavens: The tree pulls the person, the sea moves the hand. The vicissitudes are the result of the torrent of time, the deep eyes are the result of the revelation draining the soul. Take it easy, it's not a big problem.)

Neither Jiuxiao nor Youlandail knew what the other had gone through, but their eyes were filled with apology as they looked at each other.

The two of them simultaneously called out to each other, "I'm sorry! Jiuxiao/Youlan Dale!"

The two of them paused for a moment, then said in unison, "Huh? What did you do to wrong me?"

"Uh...it's nothing!"

Jiuxiao and Youlandail were silent for a moment before speaking again.

"Are you guys performing a comedy routine here?!"

Hui Huo uttered a speechless complaint, then took Jiu Xiao's hand and pulled him to his side.

"Just say what's on your mind. Why are you talking like you're speaking in riddles? Who knows what you're saying?"

"Hehe, it was my rudeness, I apologize, Yulandel."

"fine…"

Jiuxiao picked up his teacup and poured himself a glass of water. He hadn't had a sip of water all this time.

However, upon seeing the dark yellow tea in the teacup, Jiu Xiao fell into deep thought.

"You poured the wrong water, this isn't for drinking!"

Hui Huo quickly scrambled up from the sofa, baring his teeth and claws as he tried to snatch the teacup from Jiu Xiao's hand.

Even Yulan Dale couldn't drink the water, how could you give it to Jiuxiao!

"Alright, alright! This must be the tea you brewed, right? This is the first time I've ever seen you brew tea!"

Jiuxiao pressed Huihuo's head down, raised the teacup high to prevent Huihuo from taking it away, and then drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

After finishing his drink, Jiu Xiao smacked his lips. This tea was nothing but bitterness; it only had the aroma of tea but no flavor...

"This tea isn't very good; it doesn't taste good when brewed. How about we give it to Yae Sakura? We should buy some of those pre-packaged, portioned teas; I prefer that kind. Even though the flavor is a bit off, it's simple and easy to make. Huihuo, what do you think?"

"How about that, you big dummy!"

Huihuo picked up a cushion from the sofa and threw it at Jiuxiao's head.

"Go ahead and spoil me as much as you want! Don't regret it when you spoil me rotten!"

“Hehe…” Jiuxiao took Huihuo’s small hand and gently pressed it against his heart.

"Look, the heart isn't in the middle, so what's wrong with being a little biased towards you?"

Chapter 339 Die, you scumbag!

"Hehe... I would be super happy if you dared to say that in front of Kiana and Mei~ But... it's not bad now either! I'm super super super happy!"

Hui Huo laughed happily and pounced on Jiu Xiao, giving him a big kiss on the cheek before snuggling into his arms.

"Huh↗↘"

Yulandel suddenly let out a disgusted sound. She suddenly felt like she was superfluous. She shouldn't be a third wheel on the sofa, but should be lying on the floor as a stepping stone for Huihuo. Otherwise, Huihuo wouldn't be able to reach Jiuxiao even if he wanted to kiss him...

Cough cough cough… What am I thinking! That wretched Su, I actually respected him quite a bit! I didn't expect his wicked thoughts to have started influencing me!
