Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Valkyries have extremely short lifespans. Even if they don't die in battle, they will die young due to genetic collapse. Therefore, Valkyries never hesitate to offer their blessings when their comrades find a partner, except for Siegfried.

But as Huihuo listened to the Valkyries' blessings, he was distracted.

Huihuo patted her face to cheer herself up, then smiled and accepted everyone's blessings. However, the more beautiful the Valkyries' blessings were, the more distressed and tormented Huihuo felt inside.

Along the way, several daring Valkyries ran over, using the excuse of greeting Jiuxiao Huihuo, to subtly pinch Huihuo's cheeks and grope Jiuxiao.

Unable to accept being taken advantage of, Jiu Xiao took Hui Huo and flew to the Helheim Laboratory, but this made Hui Huo even more unhappy.

After leaving the Helheim laboratory, they moved to the God-Slaying Armor Vault beneath it, where Otto was already waiting for them.

"Tsk, you two have such a good relationship! Does Kiana know about this?" Otto teased with a smile, looking at the two who were so close.

Otto was worried that the Herrscher of the Void might descend and that their bond might prevent him from harming her, but now that he sees the Herrscher of the Void awakening, he fears she might tear the Nine Heavens apart.

The Herrscher personality is born from a certain emotion of the main personality being amplified infinitely by the Honkai... What if it gets jealous?

Otto could barely contain his smile as he imagined the dramatic scene that would unfold.

Just as Jiu Xiao was about to explain, Otto, the amused man, waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Don't worry, Jiuxiao, you don't need to worry about being hacked to pieces. Take a look at this Godslayer Armor I prepared for you. It provides all-around, no-blind-spot defense. Look at the metallic texture, look at the defensive power—it gives you complete peace of mind! You won't have to worry about being hacked to pieces at night at all~"

As Otto spoke, he winked at Jiu Xiao, signaling that Jiu Xiao needed to handle her emotional issues properly, otherwise...

"Cough cough cough, can't we be normal for once..."

Although Otto was always quite unserious, Jiu Xiao was embarrassed by Otto's teasing.

Jiu Xiao patted Hui Huo, signaling her to get off quickly when they arrived. But Hui Huo clung tightly to Jiu Xiao's neck, wanting to stay close to her a little longer.

Hui Huo rested his head on Jiu Xiao's shoulder, his face close to Jiu Xiao's, and said in an unhappy tone, "There are so many people outside and you're not shy at all, but here it's just Otto, why are you so shy! Let me have more..."

"Sigh... Oh well, it's all the same anyway. Once we get back to the academy... anyway, you never really belonged to me..." Hui Huo kissed Jiu Xiao, then jumped down from his arms and stood quietly to the side. Hui Huo didn't say anything more, but his face was full of unhappy resentment.

"I..." Jiu Xiao was speechless for a moment.

"I don't object to Valkyries falling in love freely, but Jiuxiao, if you don't handle your emotions well, that's a major taboo for Valkyries~"

Otto walked over and patted Jiu Xiao on the shoulder, his face radiating the confidence of a Casanova. He had witnessed countless heart-wrenching love stories, and regarding Hui Huo and Jiu Xiao's relationship, Otto declared that he knew exactly how to handle it.

"Go and comfort her. It's not good to hurt feelings over something so small. Don't worry, this won't hinder the armor testing, and I'm all alone here."

Jiuxiao nodded to Otto, and Otto also consciously walked away so as not to disturb the two.

Jiuxiao took out a lollipop, tore open the packaging, and handed it to Huihuo's mouth.

"Sad?"

"Hmph, how could I be upset over such a trivial matter? Don't look down on me!" Hui Huo opened his mouth and took a vicious bite, as if he were biting Jiu Xiao.

"But you're really sad, aren't you?" Jiu Xiao bent down slightly to look Hui Huo in the eye, reached out and gently stroked her face, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, making his tone calm and gentle enough.

"I'm sorry, I've always neglected your feelings."

Normally, he's easygoing and carefree, but at times like this, Jiu Xiao's gentleness overwhelmed Hui Huo with a flood of grievances, and his eyes involuntarily became even more moist.

Huihuo and Mei no longer care about their reputations and are determined to be with Jiuxiao, but Jiuxiao only has eyes for Kiana and treats them as just ordinary family.

But Huihuo didn't want to be an ordinary family member.

Hui Huo grasped Jiu Xiao's hand. "Jiu Xiao... in your heart, what are Mei and me?"

"A pillow and a cook?" Jiu Xiao answered without thinking.

"External armor sabayou, activate!"

"Just kidding, just kidding..." Jiu Xiao quickly pushed away the sabayou that was pressed against his forehead; the muzzle of that thing was already glowing red.

----------

"Jokes at a time like this!" Otto exclaimed in amazement, silently giving Jiuxiao a thumbs up in his heart.

This kid has the same style I had back in the day... no wonder I set my sights on him.

Damn, why am I getting more and more upset the more I talk about it?

As he was thinking, Otto squatted down and started drawing circles.

----------

Chapter 154 Don't think about anything else while you're with me!

"So... what does Huihuo think I am?"

"Bastard, shameless, scum, scum, dead pig..." Hui Huo gritted her teeth and uttered one vicious word after another, but the more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and the more tears flowed.

Finally, she couldn't stop sobbing and tightly hugged Jiuxiao, burying her head in his arms.

"But I've fallen for you... you bastard Jiuxiao, you shameless Jiuxiao, you greedy Jiuxiao..."

"You're so greedy, wanting everything, but why aren't you willing to spend a little more time on other people..."

"You're busy being with Kiana, ignoring us all. You're busy advancing to S-rank Valkyrie, rushing back to find your Kiana, but what about me who's with you...?"

I just wanted to spend more time with you, to have time just for the two of us... but all you could think about was your new armor, robbing me of the precious moments I wanted to share with you.

"..."

"The blessings from those Valkyries along the way were so beautiful... but it doesn't seem to belong to me... If I hadn't forced you with sabayou, you wouldn't have even hugged me. You only hug me when you're using me as a body pillow! When else do you ever think of me?!"

Hui Huo screamed hysterically, but Jiu Xiao remained silent.

"Never mind, that's fine then. Pretend I didn't say anything, and let's just continue as before."

Huihuo took the clown mask from Otto and was about to put it on when he suddenly realized something was wrong and threw the mask at Otto.

Are you out of your mind?!

Otto's little incident caused Huihuo's resentment towards Jiuxiao to dissipate by more than half.

"Isn't this scene and situation quite fitting? What a pity, this is my treasured edition." Otto picked up the mask from the ground, put it on his face, and then went back to the corner to continue drawing circles.

Jiuxiao took out a series of sweets, including lollipops, donuts, and wagashi, from his pocket.

"Actually... I've always cared about you, but you... never mind, it's all my fault. I was blind and didn't realize you were a tsundere..."

"You're the one who's arrogant!"

After Otto's outburst, and seeing Jiu Xiao looking aggrieved as she pulled out all the things she liked to eat from her pocket, Hui Huo wasn't so angry anymore, but she still stubbornly argued with Jiu Xiao.

"Yes, yes, I am a tsundere. Whatever Huihuo says, I am."

"Hmph!" Hui Huo closed his eyes and turned away, not wanting to pay any attention to Jiu Xiao.

Jiuxiao had no choice but to run to Huihuo, but Huihuo turned away again when he sensed Jiuxiao.

Wherever Huihuo turned, Jiuxiao ran there, staying right in front of Huihuo.

"What are you doing?" Huihuo stopped and scolded, unable to bear it any longer.

"I'll pester you until you kneel and beg for forgiveness," Jiu Xiao said matter-of-factly.

"Stupid."

Hui Huo laughed and cursed, then turned and left. Who begs for forgiveness like that?

Watching Hui Huo leave without a word, and Otto in the laboratory with the new armor he hadn't even met yet.

After pondering for 0.00003 seconds, Jiuxiao left Otto, who was still grieving in the corner, and chased after him.

"Why did you follow me? Did you go live your cool armor?" Huihu crossed his arms and looked at Jiuxiao coldly.

"I was indeed too greedy, greedily wanting to possess everything, yet without paying any price for it... So..."

Jiuxiao grabbed Huihuo's hand and flew into the sky with her, disappearing from the range of the Heavenly Mandate Headquarters.

"Since it's a rare opportunity for the two of us to spend time together, let's enjoy this time alone!"

----------

"Red bean and rice cake soup! Jiuxiao, I want that!"

Riding on Jiu Xiao's shoulders, Hui Huo happily grabbed Jiu Xiao's long hair and pointed to the snack stall not far away.

"Alright, alright, Lord Jiuxiao will pay today, Princess Huihuo can eat whatever she wants..."

...............

Jiuxiao and Huihuo held hands and leaned against the glass of the Ferris wheel as it slowly rose, looking at the scenery outside.

"Is that all there is to a Ferris wheel... How boring." Hui Huo said this, but the joy in her eyes was almost overflowing.

"After all, we've been able to soar freely through the sky for a long time, so the Ferris wheel is still a bit lacking..." Jiuxiao replied matter-of-factly.

"Shut up, you idiot! What do you know!" Hui Huo pulled the two of them together by the hand and said to Jiu Xiao with a smile, "Although it's boring, it's very meaningful!"

...............

As night falls, the goddess of the moon begins to walk among the stars.

On a deserted island in the ocean, the Moon Goddess saw two tiny people walking slowly along the beach, chatting and laughing, leaving behind the footprints of the two who had been there.

But as the waves surged in, they washed away the two men's footprints and erased their traces, as if they had never been there at all.
