We moved to Golden Courtyard

"I am not actually human. Perhaps it is because of this high-level existence that my spiritual power was able to survive briefly after leaving my body."

But as I said from the beginning, spiritual power always needs a vessel, and luckily—at that time, I met Mei, who had just arrived in this world.

At that moment, Xu Qi suddenly understood.

All the mystery surrounding Kiana and Mei, and their concealment of her, seemed to clear up as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through.

“It was Mei who saved you and gave you a place called the Moonlight System... I really owe Mei too much.”

Hehe! ~~

"But none of that matters. Why don't you tell me all this?"

When Xu Qi brought the topic back to itself, Kiana's face fell in disappointment.

"I thought that bringing up this topic would immediately divert your attention. Aren't you curious about how I survived?"

How did Mei put me into the Moonlight System? What makes me, and indeed us, such a high-ranking being?

None of these things are as important as you.

Xu Qi's casual remark shattered all of Kiana's prepared arguments.

She gazed intently at Xu Qi, and even with her mental strength intact, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Idiot! You always say nice things that make me cry... Waaah... Narcissist!"

"what?"

"I'm scolding myself! Is that wrong? As for your question—if I told you all of this, would you immediately go and fight Otto to the death!?"

Xu Qi smiled helplessly.

"I probably wouldn't be that impulsive."

"You wouldn't have come to Europe if you weren't impulsive! Are you already thinking about storming Klosten and tearing that bastard Otto to pieces right now?!"

Well... there's really no way to refute that.

Chapter 1173, Section 1166: Xu Qi

Just like everyone around Xu Qi who cares about him and is concerned about him.

Kiana didn't want Xu Qi to get involved in anything dangerous because of her.

"Whether it's Otto or Destiny, they're both too dangerous..."

I hate him, but I already have you and everyone else. Even though no one can see me in the courtyard, we can still communicate.

If anything were to happen to this family because of me, I would blame myself to the point of madness, Xu Qi. So… I can't tell you.”

Xu Qi had a wry smile on his lips.

"You're such an idiot, Kiana..."

"It won't happen again."

The two exchanged a glance, and both understood each other's feelings from the other's eyes.

A family should share both joy and sorrow.

If you still think you can bear something alone, then you are making a big mistake.

"Do you know that Durandal is your older sister...?"

"I could only vaguely sense it through fluctuations in my mental energy, but we were all too young at that time, so how could I possibly know what my sister would look like when she grew up?"

Kiana's lips curled into a bitter smile.

"It was only after Eleanor finished speaking that I was able to confirm that Miss Bianca Atagina really is my sister..."

"And your parents, Mr. Siegfried Kaslana and Ms. Cecilia Shaniat..."

"They...I remember them all..."

Kiana took a deep breath.

"Even though I haven't had the chance to experience what fatherly and motherly love are like, I know that they sacrificed themselves to protect my sister and me."

I have never forgotten this.

Even though they had never met, Xu Qi still felt a sense of respect and regret for Kiana's parents.

"As it turned out, I was the one who was most affected by this news."

Hearing Xu Qi's self-deprecating words, Kiana's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she looked very beautiful.

"That means I'm very important to you, right?"

"Of course, it may sound strange, but... I am indeed in love with a ghost, and I have long been deeply in love with her."

"You're quite narcissistic too."

Xu Qi frowned.

Now that things have come to this, he has finally noticed that Kiana's seemingly strange words all seem to have a hidden meaning.

For some reason... I feel a little flustered.

It was as if some truth was about to be revealed to him, but Xu Qi himself... wasn't so willing to get close.

"Since you already know, I think there's no point in hiding things anymore, so I might as well tell you everything."

But Xu Qi, are you prepared to know the truth about all of this?

Xu Qi took a deep breath.

"There's no such thing as being prepared. What I'm supposed to know, I was bound to find out sooner or later, wasn't I?"

A silence fell over the room.

"Xu Qi, do you remember our first conversation? I said then—I am you, and you are me. That sentence... meant exactly what it said."

Xu Qi's breath hitched.

"Aren't you ever curious? Even among Newtypes and cyborgs, your physical strength is just too high..."

Furthermore, Möbius also said that the reason you haven't been able to get everyone pregnant is because your cell activity is too abnormal, but have you ever considered another possibility...?

Xu Qi swallowed hard.

"Am I... not human in essence?"

"You should have noticed some clues from Alicia's story, right? There are indeed some things in this world that natural science cannot explain."

She is a Herrscher…

"The Lawyer?"

"She is the chosen messenger of Honkai, and can also be seen as the embodiment of Honkai."

"Honkai?"

Kiana stared intently at Xu Qi.

"Honkai... that's us."

Xu Qi felt that his worldview and philosophy of life, which he had built up over the past twenty years, were collapsing at a speed beyond his imagination.

Herrscher... Collapse?

Where did I get this? Is this still Earth?

"The HK particles you encountered are actually Honkai particles, a kind of transcendental existence that humans cannot comprehend. (Xi Bu: Group 3-0)"

But He has always been observing and watching over humanity. There have been instances in history where Honkai have come into contact with humans, but all of them ended in tragedy.

And for us, that was our most successful attempt.

Xu Qi stared blankly at Kiana.

"so……"

"You gained the characteristics of Honkai, while I gained its energy. Otto attacked me not only because he needed the Kaslana family's genes, but also because..."

He needs such a high-ranking figure to help him complete the "resurrection"—something that is simply impossible to accomplish using conventional scientific methods.

"But...don't you still have me?"

"Oh right? So that's why he came looking for you."

Xu Qi felt a chill.

He had never before felt such a strong urge to kill someone.

"That's why you've never been able to get your girls pregnant normally, while Alicia and Mei... they're a bit special."

As I mentioned before, Herrschers are the apostles of Honkai, and Airi happens to be a Herrscher. That night in the cabin, influenced by Airi, Mei also briefly awakened the powers of a Herrscher.

As an apostle of Honkai, it's only natural for you to unite with Honkai and have children. This explains why everything happening around you seems so unusual.

"What about Qiqi, she..."

Kiana gave a cold laugh.

"How could he possibly control the androids created using my genes? Space is also a power of collapse. Kiki has not disappointed me."

Xu Qi's mouth was half open. He probably couldn't digest such a large amount of information in a short time, but he still managed to keenly grasp one point.

"But then where am I supposed to restore your body?!"

Kiana was stunned.

"So after hearing all this, all you're thinking about is... restoring my body?"

Xu Qi got anxious.

"Isn't this what I came to Europe for?!"

……

Kiana lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, but they didn't fall on Xu Qi; she was a spirit, without a physical body...

"Idiot! Fool! You!...Why are you so concerned about me!? What does it matter to you whether I recover or not! Idiot! Idiot!"

"Kiana..."

"Enter the mental space!"

Xu Qi smiled, a smile tinged with helplessness and affection, and closed his eyes.

It was still that familiar room, the small room Kiana had imagined in the Golden Garden.

The moment Xu Qi entered, he felt a tightness in his chest as a white figure nestled into his arms.

"Idiot! You big idiot! You're so stupid!"

If Xu Qi hadn't said these words while crying, perhaps she would have been a little more heartbroken.

He turned around and hugged Kiana, wanting only to hold the girl in his arms like this for the rest of his life.

Chapter 1174, Chapter 1167: You actually have a younger sister, Durandal.

Kiana couldn't suppress her sobs, but what she couldn't bear even more was perhaps the most intense emotion she felt for Xu Qi. This affection was innate, because Xu Qi *was* Kiana.

Even without that innate affection, Kiana believed she would still fall hopelessly in love with Xu Qi, this bastard who always had her in his heart.

The white fluffy ball raised its head, its teary eyes fixed on Xu Qi, and tiptoed closer to him.

In this world of spiritual power, all tactile sensations have become quite real.

She could sense Xu Qi's attraction and affection.

So she kissed him passionately, as if she were demanding everything from him, or as if she were offering her whole being to him without expecting anything in return.

In the world of spiritual power, lies do not exist.

Any subtle change will be clearly revealed here.

When their lips parted, Xu Qi was taken aback.

Kiana's previous white-fuzzy appearance has completely disappeared.

Instead, she appeared as a graceful young woman.

Just like it appears on the outside.
