Kiana looked at everyone else's reactions in the group chat and felt like they were all laughing at her.
Even Levi almost failed to keep his calm expression. Fortunately, he had excellent self-control and managed to keep a straight face.
"First, there's no first-class seat. There's first class, but that's on airplanes."
"Second, the only difference between the seats is the service and the experience. They all travel at the same speed."
After all, they were all on the same train or airplane.
If they traveled at different speeds, would people's heads separate from their bodies?
A train was one thing since it was made up of separate cars, but if it happened on a plane in midair, wouldn't everyone die on the spot?
Or maybe...
It didn't matter. It could still fly without the nose... or the fuselage?
"So that's how it is!"
Kiana showed a look of sudden understanding and blinked at Levi.
Not only had he not laughed at her, he had seriously explained it and cleared up her confusion.
Looking at him now, Kiana found him much more pleasing to the eye than usual.
She then followed his instructions.
First, keep her eyes cold.
"..."
"Not dead fish eyes... Hmm, imagine I stole your Mei. Right, right! That's the look! Don't look at me, look at them."
The others in the group watched curiously as Levi directed Kiana, unable to figure out what the two of them were doing.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Lumine cautiously poked her head out and looked toward Kiana.
"Sirin! Change your eye color!"
'Tsk.'
The Herrscher of the Void Core inside Kiana activated. Honkai energy flowed through her body from the core, and Kiana's azure eyes were dyed a noble gold.
This time, however, Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, did not take over Kiana's body.
She would leave this monkey show to that idiot Kiana.
Looking at Kiana's appearance, Lumine reacted the same way Cloud Retainer had. Her whole body shook.
"This..."
Lumine rubbed her eyes. If she hadn't known the person in front of her was Kiana, she would have definitely thought this was the culprit who had taken her brother away.
No wonder Levi and Stelle had said in the group chat that Kiana was the one who kidnapped her brother.
Looking at her now, that wasn't an unreasonable conclusion.
As someone who had seen the Sustainer up close, if she hadn't known in advance, she definitely would have mistaken her as well.
Cloud Retainer, meanwhile, had already mistaken her.
"You are..."
Kiana said coldly, "Morax, you intended to join forces with others to overthrow the Heavenly Principles. As the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, I should have destroyed Liyue."
"But seeing the suffering of Liyue's living beings, and later learning this was Morax's intention alone, I refrained from destroying Liyue."
"Do any of you have objections?"
After rambling for so long, couldn't Levi have given her something simpler to say?
Kiana complained inwardly after almost biting her tongue several times.
Who could even understand these lines?
This was the modern age. Why did anyone still have to speak in such an old-fashioned way?
She really couldn't understand it.
And that last line, "Do any of you have objections," sounded like she was deliberately picking a fight.
Just the two of them had come here looking for trouble.
The other side had three people.
Just by numbers alone, they were at a disadvantage. It would be strange if the three of them had no objections.
"I have no objections."
"See? I told you..."
"..."
"Huh?"
'She really has no objections?'
Kiana looked at Cloud Retainer and the others with a blank expression.
Seeing how surprised she was, Cloud Retainer showed an expression of "just as expected."
Mentioning it in front of them on purpose was clearly meant to provoke them into attacking first, so they would have an excuse to launch an assault on Liyue.
'Forgiveness? Sparing them?'
In Cloud Retainer's eyes, that was all nonsense.
'Would They really be that kind?'
If They were, Khaenri'ah wouldn't have been destroyed so thoroughly. Even the innocent civilians of Khaenri'ah had been unable to escape disaster.
The only reason They hadn't acted was probably because They hadn't received such an order.
Saying They pitied the suffering of living beings...
Ridiculous.
"See our guests out!"
Now that she had guessed the other side hadn't received orders to destroy Liyue and didn't dare act recklessly, Cloud Retainer became much bolder.
She flapped her wings and prepared to send them away.
"Hm."
Lumine widened her eyes as she looked at the woman who walked out from behind her.
"Y-you, who are you? How are you behind me?"
She had been careless.
Someone had gotten behind her without her even noticing.
Hearing the commotion, Kiana looked toward where Lumine had been hiding and spotted the tuft of hair sticking out from behind the large rock.
"So that's where she was hiding."
She had been wondering where she had gone.
Shenhe glanced at Lumine indifferently without paying her any attention. She stepped forward and, following Cloud Retainer's instructions, extended a hand to signal Levi and Kiana to leave.
Seeing this, Kiana asked Levi with her eyes what they should do now.
Levi stroked his chin and didn't give any instructions in the group chat.
Instead, he spoke himself, "You want to drive me away before you've even become the Geo Archon?"
If they could summon him when they wanted and dismiss him when they wanted, wouldn't that make him look like a pushover?
"The Geo Archon has already passed..."
Watching the show, Zhongli suddenly felt his nose itch a little.
"The Geo Archon has passed away. No one will ever become Him again. That is impossible."
The hidden meaning was clear.
Ask for something else.
Although she didn't know who this man following the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was, judging by the way the two of them kept exchanging looks, their relationship had to be unusual.
'Something else?'
Levi noticed Lumine's head sticking out again, and the corners of his mouth curled upward. Seeing that, Lumine inwardly cried out that things were bad and hurriedly ducked back.
Unfortunately, Levi had already set his sights on her.
He pointed at the rock where Lumine was hiding.
"Turn her into barbecue for me to eat. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"..."
So this was what they meant by coveting flesh.
But it also gave Cloud Retainer an even deeper understanding of just how cruel the Heavenly Principles were.
They wouldn't even spare a little girl who wasn't even 1.6 meters tall.
[Lumine: ?]
'Wait!'
'Does this count?!'
For some reason, Lumine suddenly had the urge to pull out her Dull Blade and shave the feathers off that bird's head.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do it now.
Not for any other reason.
Simply because her Dull Blade was gone.
It had probably fallen into the ravine. Otherwise, when she drew the formation earlier, she would have used the Dull Blade instead of that shabby dead branch.
Looking at her empty hand, if the Dull Blade had been with her, Lumine would have rushed over and slashed that bird without hesitation.
[Levi: Really?]
[Lumine: Absolutely!]
[Ding! Levi has sent an exclusive Red Packet! (Lumine)]
At first, Lumine was full of excitement when she saw the Red Packet, thinking it was something valuable.
Until she opened it...
Looking at the Dull Blade in her hand, every detail on it was exactly the same as her original one.
Only then did she realize her Dull Blade hadn't fallen into the ravine.
Levi had stolen it.
But how had he done it?
When he left, the Dull Blade had still been perfectly fine in her hand...
[Levi: Stop stalling.]
[Levi: I choose you, Lumine! Use Dull Blade on Cloud Retainer!]
[Lumine: ...]
"Burp."
Kiana covered her mouth and said to the people looking at her in a muffled voice, "Sorry, I ate a little too much before coming."
It was all because the Xianzhou's food was so delicious that once she started eating, she couldn't stop.
Now her stomach was full.
Cloud Retainer's gaze grew even colder.
'How brutal is this!'
She had eaten children until she was full.
"Starfell Sword! Palm Vortex!"
Suddenly, a noise came from the direction where Lumine was hiding.
"Fall... down!"
