We moved to Golden Courtyard

She's Kiana's grandmother, right?

Upon closer reflection, Kiana, Kiki, and Kallen in front of me all seem to bear a striking resemblance.

It seems that most mentally challenged children look like this.

A small joke played on Xu Qi's mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little fondness for Karen in front of him. Although she had just captured his friend, he still had to thank her.

"Why is Commander Karen here? Is she here to arrest someone?"

"No, I just arrived in Waraheim and am staying at this hotel temporarily."

It seems to be a standard feature of destiny.

"Where is Mr. Xu Qi? I've seen you sitting in the lobby, seemingly waiting for someone."

“Yes, my female companion and I got lost. I wanted to go out to look for her, but…” Xu Qi gestured toward the door with her chin, “Your people won’t let me out.”

"Ah..." Karen was taken aback, then took a deep breath and led Xu Qi directly to the door.

"I need to take this gentleman to see his female companion. Please make way for him."

The two officers hesitated, after all, they also had orders from their superiors.

"Isn't having me as a watchdog enough?"

"Yes, Captain Karen!"

Xu Qi didn't expect to leave the hotel so smoothly tonight. Although he didn't need to worry too much about the other party's safety given the cat's abilities, it was still good to find it in advance.

"Thank you, Commander Karen."

"Just call me Karen."

Perhaps because she had helped someone solve a problem, Karen's face broke into a genuine smile, as sweet as a girl next door.

It's completely unrecognizable that she was the Valkyrie of Destiny who was piloting the giant white goose just now.

"Mr. Xu Qi, do you know how to find your female companion?"

"To be honest, I don't really know either. I just wanted to come out and find her. After all... what happened just now, we got separated in the crowd, and I was very worried about her safety."

Karen looked apologetic.

If she had arrived earlier, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

"Let me take you to a few nearby shelters. If you don't find any, we can wait for news tomorrow. I believe the other party will be alright."

Karen is a good girl...

That sense of justice and kindness touched Xu Qi's heart slightly.

Perhaps I shouldn't have deceived or taken advantage of the other party.

After searching several nearby refugees without finding Pado, Karen's face showed considerable frustration and guilt.

This made Xu Qi sigh slightly.

Child, why do you feel guilty?

I'm the one who should feel guilty...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu Qi... but please rest assured! I'll finish my report tomorrow and come immediately to help find your female companion! She'll be alright!"

Looking at the other person's slightly anxious expression, Xu Qi even felt a little reluctant to lie to them anymore.

He already knew where the cat was; it was in the safe house where Rita and the others were.

But undoubtedly...

Xu Qi would never expose that place under any circumstances.

He could only continue to deceive the other party with guilt, which made Xu Qi feel uneasy.

Instinctively, he wanted to make amends to the other person.

"Yes, I believe she's alright, but I still have to thank you, Karen. And I'm also very sorry that you had to report for duty the next morning, yet you still troubled me to come out with you tonight to look for her."

“Protecting every citizen is my duty as a soldier of the Destiny Army! So please don’t feel sorry for me, Mr. Xu Qi.”

Naïve, kind, passionate, and sincere.

In a daze, Xu Qi felt that compared to Kiki, who looked almost exactly like Kiana, this girl named Karen Kaslana was more like Kiana.

This made him feel even more favorably toward the girl.

The two returned to their hotel, and just before parting, Xu Qi suddenly said, "If you don't mind, could you sit with me for a while, Miss Karen?"

"Ugh?"

"Please don't misunderstand, I just want to chat with you for a while, that's all."

The white-haired girl tilted her head and agreed without thinking.

He opened the door to the room that destiny had prepared for him. This time, he certainly wouldn't be staying with Qiqi. There wouldn't be another room with that strange layout.

However, Kiki lives next door.

She sensed Karen's approach and decisively concealed her mental energy fluctuations.

"I hope you are satisfied with the environment here, Mr. Xu Qi."

"Even if it's just for you, I'll be satisfied, Karen."

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly. Xu Qi looked at her with surprise and some embarrassment. He had only said it casually and had never intended to flirt with her.

Even at the hotel, Xu Qi still did his part as a host by pouring Karen a glass of hot water.

"Speaking of which, I used to know a friend who is very similar to you—kind and wonderful. I came to Europe this time to help her with something."

Karen's cheeks flushed again.

She thought Xu Qi was praising her.

“Mr. Xu Qi, you don’t need to praise me like that. I just did what I was supposed to do.”

Xu Qi was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"I was just speaking from the heart and didn't mean to praise you. But even so, I was just telling the truth and it wasn't a compliment."

Karen then realized she had made a blunder and said with a hint of reproach, "Mr. Xu Qi is bullying me..."

The little joke seemed to have brought the two of them much closer.

On this night, they casually reminisced about their pasts.

Xu Qi talked a lot. He talked about the 956 incident and felt that he had not done anything particularly great.

"I was just acting impulsively."

"But this truly reflects Mr. Xu Qi's innermost thoughts! You are a truly remarkable person!"

Without realizing it, Karen started using honorifics.

"Thank you. I feel very honored to have met a friend like you in Europe."

Karen covered her mouth.

"So, we're friends now?"

"After our long chat, are we still strangers?"

They exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter.

They all had the same thought: being with each other made them feel happy.

"It's so late, I won't keep you chatting any longer. I wish you all the best, Karen."

"I wish you all the best, Mr. Xu Qi. I really enjoy chatting with you."

Watching the other person's cheerful figure disappear into the distance, and gazing at the large braid swaying behind them, Xu Qi couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

Is she really not Kiana?

Chapter 1101, Page 1094: I still prefer your tough look.

Xu Qi stood outside the door, her feelings a mix of emotions, until the other person disappeared around the corner of the building. Why was she the chosen one...?

"So you like this kind of thing?"

Xu Qi turned around and saw that Qi Qi's room door was open, and the other person was leaning against the door, looking at him indifferently, as if looking at a heartless man.

Xu Qi touched his nose.

Kiki's gaze was understandable.

That damn bastard... He hugged and kissed me all the time! And then he went and flirted with other girls!?

"Yes, she is a chosen one, her name is Karen."

"I know, so what?"

Xu Qi cautiously approached.

"Hmm... She came with me to look for the cat, but unfortunately we didn't find it."

"Then you invited them to your room, chatted and laughed, leaving me all alone here, right?" Mingming Qiqi's face showed a smile, but it gave people a terrifying feeling.

It can only be said that Xu Qi is usually spoiled by the girls in the villa.

"Xu Qi, you are a real scumbag."

As she spoke, she turned around to go into the room and close the door, but Xu Qi blocked her with one hand and prevented her from closing it.

Qiqi pushed harder a few more times, then glared at Xu Qi with resentment.

"What? You want to resort to force?"

Xu Qi didn't know either, but he always seemed to want to appear more assertive in front of Qi Qi—she was a wild little horse that was quite worth taming.

but……

When it's time to be soft, you still have to be soft.

"I was wrong."

This sentence completely stumped Qiqi.

No? Why are you acting like my boyfriend? Did you cheat on him and I caught you in the act, and now you're desperate to get his forgiveness?

But she still replied instinctively.

"What did you do wrong?"

After saying that, Qiqi wanted to slap herself—Am I crazy?! Why did I reply to him?

Xu Qi was also a little surprised, because he also sensed something was wrong. What was going on... it was like Qi Qi had caught him cheating?

Especially when I think about how jealous the other person is...

Xu Qi took a deep breath.

He moved a few steps closer to Qiqi, who seemed to want to back away, but her pride prevented her from accepting such a weak performance.

So he stubbornly endured Xu Qi's relentless approach, until finally, the two were almost face to face.

The small, rounded breasts that were perked up on her chest had already touched Xu Qi, making Qi Qi feel extremely shy! But she still refused to back away.

Why should she give way to Xu Qi?!

“She is a soldier of destiny, I am just using her. You and I are the closest of friends, after all, we are now in the same boat, for your sake and for mine.”

Hearing Xu Qi's explanation, Qi Qi's heart softened a little.

But she still retorted, "Who's being intimate with you!"

But halfway through her sentence, she remembered that he had already kissed her three times in a row, so even her tone of rebuttal softened slightly.

Are you... intimate?

No intimacy! Absolutely no intimacy!

Xu Qi knew that he had overcome the difficulties.

Suddenly, he placed his hands on Qiqi's shoulders, and while she was still in a daze, he lowered his head and kissed her lips again.

Bye! You've become addicted to kissing, haven't you?!

But Qiqi just didn't know how to refuse.
