I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Seeing Xilin running back into the house, Bai left the Tower of Babylon directly.

......

Cecilia's three people...oh no, now it should be said that it is the Snow Wolf Team plus Siegfried and Theresa's temporary camp.

After chatting with Cecilia for a while last night, Kiana released the members of the Snow Wolf Team. Later, with Cecilia's mediation, they finally stopped quarreling.

Kirara Shigure, who was caught by Kiana as the culprit, was very unwilling to accept the situation and kept explaining to Kiana that she was just more caring and not really so stupid that she couldn't see through Kiana's performance. Moreover, no one could have helped in that situation.

Kiana nodded continuously.

Yeah, yes, you are right, I didn’t say you are stupid.

It looks like a mockery, but this is what Kiana really thinks.

First, the situation at that time was indeed as Shigure Kirara said, and looking around the world, there might not be many people who could have imagined it.

Secondly...she still has a lot of things to tell her mother, so how could she have the time to take care of Shi Yu Qiluo?

Seeing Kiana's perfunctory look, and Cecilia's dissuasion, Shigure Kirara had no choice but to give up on trying to get Kiana to believe in her idea.

But after figuring it out, she suddenly became curious about the relationship between Kiana and Cecilia.

How on earth did such a little girl get involved with Cecilia?

So, besides Theresa, there was another light bulb beside the mother and daughter.

Because Kiana's background is rather special, Cecilia also forged an identity for Kiana as a relative's child, and the child also happened to be named Kiana.

After learning about this false identity, Shigure Kirara's affection for Kiana increased a lot. After all, she was Cecilia's relative, so it was normal for her to be a little clever.

Kiana just wanted to be alone with Cecilia, but Theresa and Shigure Kirara took turns coming, and even Siegfried didn't want to ask something.

Just when she was thinking about whether to take them away again, the self-proclaimed foreign aid finally arrived.

Chapter 128: Kiana gradually becomes addicted

"Kiana, why are you staying outside?"

Bai located himself near Kiana based on her scent, and upon arriving, he discovered Kiana squatting alone in the snow outside. Bai couldn't help but feel curious.

"white!"

Hearing Bai's voice, Kiana's eyes lit up and she quickly ran to Bai, blinking with anticipation.

"Would you like to give it to me personally? A beautiful girl, absolutely gorgeous!"

"Kiana, did you...take the wrong medicine? I don't remember you being sick?" Bai's face looked a little strange. Kiana had just been gone for a day, so how come he couldn't understand what she said?

"Let's not talk about whether I want it or not. From what I know about you, if there really is a beautiful girl, shouldn't you stick it on yourself? Why would you think of giving it to someone else?"

"This is different. Just tell me whether you want it or not. As soon as you nod, I will get it for you right away." Kiana took out the gourd and seemed ready to take action.

"No." Bai refused very bluntly.

"why?"

"The beautiful girl shouldn't be fake, but this so-called beautiful girl should have some obvious flaws, and they should be the kind that you can't stand.

Why would I bother if I already knew she had a problem?

"Oh, I knew it." Kiana put away the gourd and lowered her head in frustration.

"Tell me what happened?" Bai asked curiously.

"There's a girl named Shigure Kirara who's a huge fan of my mom's. My mom said they used to chat and go shopping together a lot when they were in Tenmangu. Now that she knows she has nothing else to do, she keeps coming to my mom's place.

Our identities are quite special, and my mother doesn't want other people to know, so she says I'm her relative. Sometimes Yu Qiluo can't say some things at all.

Another thing is that she likes to sing, but she sings out of tune nine out of ten times, and her voice is louder than the school bell, but she seems to be unaware of it.

I was chatting with my mother there, and she suddenly said she wanted to perform her singing. At first I didn't know what was going on, so I followed her out of curiosity. Of course, I was the only one who went there. Everyone else seemed to know, but no one told me.

Then when she shouted, I almost thought I was surrounded by Honkai beasts. When I came to my senses, I quickly found an excuse to run away.

I can see that she seems to like music very much, so I don't want to tell her the truth directly, but if I don't tell her, I have no reason to avoid this matter. Now I can only stay here and think of other solutions.

Now that you're here, is there any way to get her to stop singing, or correct her damn musical talent?"

Kiana looked up at Bai expectantly, hoping to hear the answer she wanted. She had always been brave, but she was really scared when she heard Shigure Kirara's singing.

Bai thought about it for a moment, then shook his head. "Although I can help her with her talent, it's not very suitable. However, I can take you away to avoid this."

Everyone's destiny has been arranged since birth. Shigure Kirara doesn't have a good singing talent, but she will work hard, and she will gain a lot in the future regardless of success or failure.

But if he made a change, turning Shigure Kirara's singing voice that scratched the glass into a heavenly sound, it might make her very happy for a while, but in the end she might become a person who can do nothing but sing.

What's more, if he were to make up for Shigure Kirara's talent in this area, there might be an additional shortcoming in other areas.

It could have been avoided if he had continued to interfere, but there was absolutely no reason to do so.

Kiana naturally didn't think so much. She only heard that Bai could take her away to avoid listening to Shigure Kirara singing.

"Then take me...wait, where are you taking me?"

Just when she was about to let Shiro leave by herself immediately, Kiana suddenly remembered that something was wrong.

They have witnessed the birth of the Herrscher of the Sky and have also met her mother. Theoretically, they no longer have any reason to stay, and it is time to return to reality.

But she had only been with her mother for less than a day, and there were still many things she wanted to say and do, so she...didn't really want to go back.

Even though Mei and the others are waiting for her to wake up outside, Bai also said that no matter how much time passes in here, it will only be a moment outside, so why can't she stay here for a while longer?

At least... let her and her mother live a good life for a while.

Feeling the change in Kiana's emotions, Bai reached out and held down her body as she tried to retreat in resistance.

"I'll take you to your mother. I have something to tell her."

"Are you... leaving? Can you..."

"No."

He interrupted Kiana's sad mood without any hesitation, and then pulled her into the camp.

"I know you definitely don't want to leave now, so this time I'm going to talk to your mother and ask you to stay here temporarily."

"Really?!"

Kiana perked up instantly and looked up at Bai.

"Really, but time is limited. If you stay in here for too long, it will have some negative effects on you."

Living in such a real yet unreal environment, it is easy for people to forget where they are after a long time. If there is no intervention from others and one's will is not strong, it is very likely that one will be completely lost in it.

It's like a dream, spending a lifetime here and dying, while in reality you are completely unconscious in the state you were in when you came in.

Kiana might have the willpower to determine whether she is in a false realm, but on one side is her mother and on the other side is her friend, Bai can't guarantee which side Kiana will choose.

Kiana naturally didn't think too much about it. For her, it was enough to be able to stay here temporarily.

"Hurry up, I'll take you to find your mother."

As she spoke, Kiana seemed to dislike Bai's slow pace and directly grabbed his hand and started running.

"I feel like there's something wrong with this statement..."

Bai thought about it for a moment, but didn't refute it.

......

With Kiana as the guide, the defenses in the camp were useless. They turned left and right and soon arrived at the house where Cecilia was.

Without any hesitation, Kiana pulled Bai in and said those classic words.

"Mom, I'm back."

Cecilia, who was fiddling with the communicator in the house, was slightly startled when she heard Kiana's voice, then silently turned off the communicator with a gentle smile.

"Well, welcome back, Kiana. Have you finished listening to Qi Luo's song? And... who is this?"

Cecilia looked towards Bai, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Chapter 129: Showdown with Cecilia

"He, he is..." Kiana suddenly stopped talking halfway.

How should I introduce Bai?

Friends? That's a bit too good, but a more intimate relationship isn't quite right either. So, what should I say?

Seeing Kiana's dilemma, Bai patted Kiana's shoulder with a smile.

"Okay, Kiana, go somewhere else first. I'll talk to your mother for a while."

"Huh?" Kiana turned her head in confusion.

"There are some things you can't decide on yet. Your mother happens to be here, so it would be better if I talk to her directly."

"What? I'm an adult, why can't I make the decision?" Kiana curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

Now her body looks like that of an underage girl, short and plain, but outside her adult body is not perfect, but at least has a curvy figure, otherwise how could she have the confidence to get close to Mei.

Although Mei doesn't pay much attention to her.

Is there anything she can't decide for herself?

Bai didn't refute, but looked at Cecilia.

Cecilia nodded slightly, as if she understood something.

"Kiana, Theresa told you earlier that she wanted to hear about Saint Freya. Now is the chance for you to go talk to her."

"Hmm..." Kiana glanced at the two of them unwillingly, "Okay then."

Since Cecilia had spoken, she had no reason to refuse and could only leave muttering to herself.

As the door was closed, the two people in the room began to discuss what to do with Kiana.

"Hello, Ms. Cecilia. It's our first meeting, so you can just call me Bai."

"Shiro... you look so young... are you around the same age as Kiana?"

"...almost."

"Then I'll just call you Bai." Cecilia narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly, "I wonder what your relationship with Kiana is?"

"Hmm? Normally, shouldn't you first ask what the current situation is? For example, how did we get here, and where exactly is this place?"

"None of that matters. There's a saying in China: 'If you're here, make the best of it.' Now that you're here, it's unnecessary to ask how you got here.

Compared to those unimportant things, Kiana's matter is more important to me."

The conversation last night made Cecilia certain that Kiana was indeed her daughter, but she didn't know whether she had returned from the future or was in some other situation. No matter what the reason was, it didn't affect her at the moment, so she didn't care.

On the contrary, after confirming Kiana's identity, she paid more attention to Kiana's future. After all, the situation Kiana described was not good.

"Is that so? Then let's talk about Kiana."

Bai nodded and continued following Cecilia's words.

"Let's put aside the relationship between Kiana and me for now, and first tell you about Kiana's current situation.

Kiana is your daughter, but not entirely.

I think Kiana should have told you about the past. Generally speaking, there should be no problem, but the details cannot stand up to scrutiny."

"Yes, there are many things that cannot be explained." A trace of helplessness appeared in Cecilia's eyes.

After all, until now Siegfried still couldn't understand why he gave up his good destiny and comfortable life, and instead took his daughter to wander.

It’s just... yes and no?

Cecilia had a vague guess in her mind.

"Do you know about Theresa's situation?"

"Theresa? I only know that she is Otto's granddaughter, a Valkyrie who suddenly appeared in Destiny and has great talent."

"Actually, strictly speaking, Theresa's last name should be Kaslana, not Apokalys, at least for now."

"Kaslana? Could it be that Theresa was born from a marriage between the Kaslana family and the Apokalypse family? Was she taken in and trained by Otto because she was so talented?"

"Not really." Bai shook his head slightly. "A310, one of Kallen Kaslana's clones, underwent an unexpected change due to the fusion of the genes of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast 'Vishnu', and developed self-awareness. Otto preserved it and named it Theresa Apokalis."
