Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

"I have something to ask you... Xilin, come with me. Bella, Agatha, Aurora, and Galina, please entertain this Miss Thunder."

Fu You regained his composure and after giving instructions to Bella and the others, he nodded to Raiden Mei and then pulled Xilin into the next room.

"What's wrong?" Xilin asked curiously after being pulled into a room nearby.

"...You ask me what's wrong?" Fu You squinted his eyes and looked at Xilin, speaking slowly.

"The friend you brought back has the aura of the Conqueror Gem within her body... can you sense it?" "Of course, that gem used to belong to me. I sensed it the first time I saw her."

Although she didn't understand why, Xilin nodded.

"So you brought her back... because you wanted to kill her and take the gem back?" Fu You asked Xilin with some confusion.

"I must state in advance that from my observation, although I don't know the circumstances, the Conquest Gem is deeply connected to that girl."

"If we act rashly, the Conquest Gems are likely to riot, attracting those from Destiny and Anti-Entropy."

However, Xilin shook her head at Fu You's words.

"No, I never thought about taking back the Gem of Conquest."

"Ah?" Fu You was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected Xilin to answer like this.

"More than ten years ago, when you let me enter Cecilia's dream, I finally understood what I wanted."

After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, Xilin continued.

"Strength, power... those are just means of revenge and retaliation. The warm family in my dreams, the feeling of being surrounded by family on my birthday, is what I truly desire."

"Before, I was a Second Herrscher, with no way back. Because of my actions, countless people died. And as you said, it is impossible for a Second Herrscher to live a peaceful life."

"But now that [The Second Herrscher] is dead, I finally have the chance to embrace my own life."

"Take back the core, regain power, and then announce the return of the Second Herrscher to the world? No, I'm already very satisfied with my current life!" The sunlight shone through the window onto Xilin's beautiful face. The girl smiled slightly, like an angel.

"..." Fu You fell silent. It seemed that Xilin had accepted the pain of the past with equanimity. For the sake of her present life, she had even let go of the hatred she held in the Tower of Babylon. This process of letting go had taken her thousands of years. As for those who died in the Second Great Collapse, the sins were certainly Xilin's, but Fu You had always upheld the principle of helping her own family, not her own. Unlike Chi Yuan, who was single-mindedly fighting the Collapse and eradicating all evil, Xilin remained Fu You's beloved companion, no matter her faults.

"That's right...but, you just want to play games, right?" Seeing the atmosphere becoming more serious, Fu You suddenly looked at Xilin jokingly and blurted out a few words.

"Hey! You guy!" The atmosphere was broken instantly, and Xilin pouted, looking unhappy.

"Alright, alright, go meet your new friend. There's no point in keeping the guests waiting."

Smiling, Fu You pulled Xilin up.

"But, the Conquest Gem is on her. Doesn't that mean... people from Destiny and Anti-Entropy are also here?" Only then did Xilin become worried.

"What? Are you worried now? Back in Siberia, I never saw you so cautious."

Glancing at Xilin, Fu You teased.

"Negative Entropy wasn't something to be feared, and Destiny was severely weakened. Just this year, they allowed a teenage girl to take over the position of S-rank Valkyrie... They simply have no shame."

Fu You explained, his words full of contempt for fate.

"You only have a Serenity Gem on you. Even if they discover us, they won't be stupid enough to attack us."

With a cold snort, Fu You touched Xilin's head, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Unless they want to experience another disaster even more brutal than the Second Collapse..."

Chapter 99 Kaslana Comes to Seek Refuge

After receiving Xilin's answer and confirming that she wasn't trying to trick him into taking the Conquest Stone back, Fu You breathed a sigh of relief. After all, who would want to risk their life fighting when they could just live a leisurely and happy life? "Look, Mei, these are my family."

At the dining table, Xilin introduced proudly.

"Xilin-san is truly blessed..." Mei Raiden forced a smile. She had indeed had a blast being dragged here by Xilin, but unlike Xilin, she no longer felt the warmth of her family. Her mother had died when she was very young, and her father was now framed and imprisoned. Her former "friends" had also joined in, leaving Mei Raiden alone.

"I think... I know your father, Miss Mei."

Recently, an executor named "Thunder Ryuma" was overthrown in Anti-Entropy, and the Conquest Gem was also in Anti-Entropy, so Fu You wanted to confirm it.

"Is his name Raiden Ryoma?" "Do you know my father?" Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei stood up suddenly, and as if she realized her own gaffe, she sat back down.

"I'm sorry, I'm so anxious. Can you tell me about my father's situation?" "Of course, I also run a company and have had dealings with ME before."

Recalling for a moment, Fu You still hasn't forgotten the surprise he felt when he checked the identity of the ME Club president, only to find out that the other party was an executor of Anti-Entropy.

"He was indeed framed. A Russian female executive named Kokolia took over the ME Company and slandered your father."

After some thought, Fuyou changed his approach to explaining the situation to Mei Leidian. After all, the girl didn't seem to know the truth behind these events. Speaking of which...did Walter just watch his men slaughter each other? While the bishops of Heaven's Destiny weren't exactly good people, it had to be said that at least in Heaven's Destiny, the bizarre things that happened in Anti-Entropy wouldn't happen. ... "It's getting late, I'll take my leave now."

Watching the setting sun outside the window, Mei Lei Dian took the initiative to leave. Mei Lei Dian was very satisfied today because she knew that her father was indeed framed and imprisoned. Although she could not find the person to seek revenge, the torment in her heart was much less.

"Bella and I will take you home!" The enthusiastic Celine offered. She had noticed Raiden Mei's lonely situation a long time ago. Thinking back to her past, Celine wanted to help this poor guy.

"Well, thank you!" Mei Raiden nodded gently and did not refuse.

"Take your queen out for a while. There's so much fun and delicious food to do. There's no need to rush home..." Fu You whispered to Bella. "Xilin's gone. She probably won't be back anytime soon. Should we..." Looking at Aurora, Fu You's thoughts were clear.

"Senior, I learned an old saying in Shenzhou: 'Once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten.'"

Looking at Fu You with resentment, Aurora spoke very tactfully.

"But there's an old saying in Shenzhou: 'Burning your boats and sinking your boats, the 120 Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu.'"

With a wicked grin, Fu You grabbed Aurora without saying a word.

"Believe me, Xilin won't find out!" "But that's what you said last time..." Aurora felt a little aggrieved. She suddenly felt that this senior was not reliable in some aspects outside of combat. ... But in the end, Aurora couldn't withstand Fu You's soft and hard persuasion and turned on the game console without thinking.

"Galina, please go get a few bottles of sparkling water from the refrigerator and wait for Xilin to come back. Thank you!" Fu You called out, never taking his eyes off the screen. With Galina as a safety net, this time playing the game secretly would be completely safe.

"Okay, senior."

Galina answered and walked straight to the kitchen. After turning on the light, she met the eyes of a white-haired girl.

"Wow!!" Galina, who was caught off guard, was frightened. In panic, she pushed the other person, and lost her balance and fell down.

"Ouch!" Two dull thuds were heard, and a Honkai Beast and two Herrschers, who were still in the living room, instantly dodged to the kitchen door. Besides Galina, another figure had fallen to the ground in the kitchen.

"Who is it?!" Aurora and Agatha responded instantly, and the Honkai energy had already condensed in their hands.

"Wait! Don't do anything!" Looking at Galina and the uninvited guest lying on the ground in a mess, Fu You immediately stopped Aurora and Agata.

"Oooooh...it hurts so much!" Looking at the white-haired girl flopping on the ground, Fu You's brain froze for a moment.

"Kiana... why are you here?!" "It's you! Fu You, I finally found you!" Hearing this, Kiana's originally drooping eyelashes trembled violently. She raised her head, saw Fu You clearly, and spoke in surprise.

"Senior, she is...?" His gaze shifted to Fu You, Aurora, Galina and Agatha, who all looked at each other, not knowing what had happened for a moment.

"Huh... Let's go to the living room."

Knowing that it would take a while to explain clearly, Fu You pulled up Kiana and Galina and spoke slowly.

"Come, Kiana, this is your sister Agatha, this is your sister Galina, and this is your sister Aurora..." Pulling Kiana, Fu You introduced them one by one. The three little Auroras sat together with a bewildered look on their faces, watching Fu You chattering on and on.

"Fuyou, I know everything!" Kiana waved her hand casually, indicating that she already understood.

"Oh, this kid is just like your father, so disrespectful."

Fu You smiled slightly and didn't care about Kiana's carelessness.

"Let me ask...how did you find this place?" Looking at the white-haired girl in front of him, Fu You's eyes showed curiosity.

"Mom has something urgent to do and can't take me with her."

Kiana spoke slowly, feeling a little frustrated.

"Before I left, my mother told me to go to Jiuyou in Shenzhou and seek refuge with the person in the photo. But when I got there, I didn't find the person she mentioned."

As if afraid that Fuyou wouldn't believe her, Kiana took out the photo and explained.

"I just saw the girl with purple hair walk out of the door, so I came in."

The photo showed Fu You, Cecilia, Xilin and others gathered together, as if it was a souvenir of the New Year's Eve dinner more than ten years ago.

"But why did your mother let you leave?" Although he believed what the other party said, Fu You was still a little confused. He knew Cecilia and knew that she would never let Kiana wander alone unless she had no other choice.

"I heard that Daddy's situation isn't very good right now, so Mom decided to go find him."

Hearing this, Kiana replied obediently. "Has Siegfried's health deteriorated again?" Fuyou understood after hearing Kiana's words.

"Mom said that if I find the man named [Fuyou], he will accept me."

With anticipation glimmering in her eyes, Kiana looked at the silent Fu You and spoke hopefully.

Chapter 100 Snowfield Stories

"Oh? Cecilia asked you to come find me?" Fu You was slightly surprised by Kiana's words, then nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, while Cecilia and Theresa were close friends, after Otto's backstabbing, Cecilia was probably already frightened and no longer trusted in destiny. On the Anti-Entropy side, a conservative executor had just been overthrown, and the situation was equally precarious. And although he was an accomplice of the Second Herrscher, he now became the last person Cecilia could trust with Kiana.

"Indeed, since you appear in front of me now, I believe Cecilia has also helped you secretly..." Looking at Kiana in front of him, Fu You spoke slowly.

"Well, don't be anxious. Let me ask you first, do you still remember why your father left you?" "This..." The white-haired girl lowered her head and thought carefully. Looking at the other person, Fu You was not anxious. He had seen the girl in front of him many years ago.

Several years ago, in a remote snowfield somewhere in East Siberia, beside a destroyed wooden house, Siegfried half-knelt on the scorched earth, holding the white-haired girl tightly in his arms.

"Hoo, Kiana..." Looking at the white-furred creature before him, Siegfried's eyes flashed with a complex expression. The characteristics of the Honkai Beast gradually emerged from his body, and it was clear that Siegfried had just experienced a fierce battle.

"What? Are you afraid to use your full strength against her?" A familiar voice suddenly rang out from the side. Sensing something unusual, Siegfried struggled to lift the Holy Judge of Skyfire to his feet, then stood up and blocked Kiana's path.

"...It's you?!" Siegfried was stunned, looking warily at the figure of the uninvited guest in front of him.

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? I don't eat people."

Seeing the other party's astonished and horrified look, Fu You shook his head helplessly.

"Tsk, tsk, that's miserable."

Fu You sighed as he casually looked at Siegfried who was almost unable to suppress his beast transformation.

"Hey... If you have anything to say, come to me, stay away from Kiana!" Siegfried raised the Skyfire unsteadily, and was very disgusted with Fuyou's appearance. After all, every time this guy appeared in front of him, nothing good would happen.

"Kiana?" Ignoring Siegfried's threat, Fu You sneered.

"You know Kiana's whereabouts better than anyone else, Siegfried. Although I don't know what you did before you defected from your destiny, the unique consciousness of each life will not lie..." "I have seen Kiana, and this girl is just a clone, not her at all."

"Enough!" Siegfried roared with a ferocious look on his face, as if he didn't want to hear these words that reminded him of painful memories.

"She is my daughter, Siegfried. I told you I must protect the one I love most, no matter the cost!" Siegfried clutched the Holy Judge of Skyfire tightly, his mind filled with the image of the white-furred creature behind him, unwilling to see him injured, heading off alone to subdue the Honkai Beast. Back then, he had been such a jerk, wallowing in his pain, completely ignoring little Kiana's feelings, her confusion and her longing. It was only after that incident that Siegfried gave her his daughter's name. The Herrscher of the Void core was implanted within Kiana, and no one knew when it would erupt, or what the consequences would be. Yet, Siegfried held his daughter in utter devotion, even risking the loss of control, to remain by her side. Now, Siegfried's heart was unwavering. She was no mere experiment, K423; she was his child, Kiana Kaslana! "Although the Second Herrscher has long since vanished from the world, the Herrscher of the Void's core has long been tainted by malice, and it will only take a matter of days for it to corrupt this child."

Looking at the small figure behind Siegfried with pity, Fu You shook his head regretfully.

"...I know, but you don't need to bother with these things!" Siegfried didn't dare to relax for a moment. After several battles, he knew he was no match for Fuyou. But as Kiana's father, Siegfried couldn't just ignore his daughter. If Fuyou had any intentions of harming Kiana, he would have to defeat him completely.
