Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 267 Qiong: Rejecting Unequal Treaties!

Undoubtedly, Liu Ying was provoked into going berserk by Qiong's attitude.

Seeing the way Firefly was acting, Qiong felt that she was either going to come up and "fight" with her (that shouldn't be the case, Silver Wolf was still there, wasn't he?) or she was going to force a kiss on her. But now she had no way out—it seemed that she only had two outcomes: to accept it or to be forced to accept it after resisting.

The main problem is that he really can't beat Liu Ying, unless...

"Uncle Siegfried, Headmaster, please come in quickly!"

Unless Siegfried and his men can open the door and come in.

"It's no use!"

Silver Wolf, who was squatting by the door observing the situation, pulled out his game console and chimed in.

"I just did a little tweaking; now the sound can only go in but not out of this room."

"Qiong, don't you like me even a little bit?!"

Liu Ying pressed closer, her face filled with anger mixed with a strange urgency. She clenched her fists, her reddened eyes staring intently at Qiong. Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Qiong turned her head to the other side.

"Should...have happened?"

For that one in ten thousand chance that Liuying would calm down, he had to say something to comfort her. And this wasn't a lie; he had genuinely been moved by Liuying.

But as he said before, he's a captain and not very loyal to one person. He also really likes the robin—Miss Robin is so wonderful, beautiful, kind-hearted, and has a beautiful singing voice...

Thinking of the robin, Qiong, lost in thought, tried to distract himself by playing a little tune by the robin in his head, but he couldn't.

Because at this very moment, the distance between him and the firefly was almost zero! The firefly's breath was already on his face...

"You remembered something? That means you remember a little bit, right? You must remember a little bit!"

Sensing that the situation had improved, Qiong turned his head back. The moment he looked directly at Liuying, he saw that her anger seemed to have turned into joy.

"I knew it! I knew that even if our memories were sealed away and lost, our feelings would definitely leave a mark!"

As she murmured to herself, a faint blush rose on Liu Ying's face. The blush not only climbed up her cheeks but also quietly spread to the roots of her ears. As if to hide something, Liu Ying even cupped her face in her hands.

"..."

In fact, Sora, who was being held back by Firefly and unable to move freely, didn't know what to do: she couldn't ask Firefly to move away, because she would probably go crazy; but she also couldn't keep Firefly away, because in this state, Sora was really... In short, her lower body was very likely to do things that betrayed Mei.

I was pinned against the wall in the room again, it was really...

No, why did he say "again"?

"Qiong!"

"exist!"

As if she had made up her mind, Liu Ying pouted her little mouth and wrapped her arms around Qiong's neck, trying to pull down Qiong, who was much taller than her—once pulled down, she could exchange some breath and even the liquid in her mouth.

"Firefly, this is not right!"

"There's nothing wrong with it!"

"Qiong is right! Liuying, aren't you being a bit too aggressive? You can't advance the story in a game without increasing affection points..."

Honestly, Silver Wolf doesn't approve of Firefly's tactic of resorting to brute force to break through levels in frustration after failing to unlock hidden endings—even if you use cheats (like drugging someone).

Firefly didn't reply, but just glared at Silver Wolf. Silver Wolf, who had wanted to say something, could only protest quietly.

"Forced triggering of plot and CG when the requirements are not met..."

Silver Wolf crouched at the doorway, trying to distract herself with the game, but her damned curiosity made it impossible for her not to look at the two guys whose faces looked like ripe apples.

For some reason, Silver Wolf felt that something was off about Firefly's recent behavior, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it...

What else can we do now that things are already like this? The worst-case scenario... should we give Qiong another blow to make him lose his memory again?

……

As the firefly's tender red lips drew closer and closer to Qiong, Qiong's heart began to race. Although he tried his best to resist, he was embarrassed to find that he and the firefly were evenly matched in strength, with the firefly even being slightly stronger.

He was about to be forcibly kissed.

There's a famous Chinese master named Lu Xun who once said that life is like... cough cough, okay, maybe it wasn't Master Lu who said it. Anyway, it's about enjoying it when you can't resist. Based on this statement, Qiong closed her eyes.

I must say, Firefly's lips are soft, and she smells quite nice. But the force of her kisses... it felt more like a release than a kiss.

"Hey, hey, hey, weren't you just putting up a fight? Why did you suddenly give up?! This little goddess is still here, why don't you beg the all-powerful goddess for help?!"

Just over ten seconds after Liu Ying kissed Qiong, the female voice rang out in Qiong's mind like a thunderclap.

"Ok?"

Qiong slowly opened her eyes and stared wide-eyed.

Time seemed to be paused by an invisible hand. Liu Ying remained leaning forward while kissing Qiong Ren, her expression of enjoyment and excitement frozen on her face.

Not far away, Silver Wolf glared at them angrily, holding a game console in one hand and the baseball bat he had just dropped in the other.

The sudden situation startled Qiong. He tried to move and found that he could move freely.

"Get her tongue out of your mouth right now! How much longer do you intend to stay?"

"Ah? Oh!"

Qiong quickly pulled Liuying's tongue out of his mouth, but the next moment, he suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed onto Liuying's thunder.

In his dazed state, he overheard a conversation between two people.

"Qiong, what's wrong!"

"Firefly, is this a kiss or murder? Yes, he's a bastard and he's wrong, but he doesn't deserve to die! You don't want to kill him in a suicide pact, do you? Or are you just going to destroy his body and replace it with a new one to make things clean?"

"I didn't, I absolutely didn't think that!"

----------------

"Tell me, you could have resisted, so why did you give up then?"

The white-haired woman, whose face was obscured, who forced Qiong to sign a contract, ran to within three steps of Qiong after he awoke in this void and questioned him.

"You think you're so great? You dropped your baseball bat, so where's your flamethrower? Where's your top hat?! Why aren't you using the power I gave you?! Are you trying to cheat on your girlfriend?!"

Who are you?

Qiong was still recovering from the shock of Liu Ying's question, so he looked blank when faced with the "goddess's" barrage of questions.

If Qiong could see her face clearly, she would see a pair of fiery purple eyes and a cat-like, angry expression.

"You idiot, you moron! How can there be someone as stupid as you in the world?"

She was still thinking that if Qiong resisted for another half minute, she would give a desperate sigh of resignation and feel guilty towards Mei. At that time, she would snap her fingers like a god and "accelerate" Qiong's time to make it relatively still (but the price would be that the Holy Mark would be consumed too much and Qiong would be exhausted and unconscious for several hours). Then she would bring Qiong here. Wouldn't Qiong be grateful to her and have absolute trust in the "prophecy" she provided afterward?

Unfortunately, a certain gray-haired guy's leniency made her plan less than perfect—in a sense, Sora was corrupted.

This means she's not actually even the second one!

Enraged, the "goddess" grew increasingly furious, and with a sudden burst of strength, she shoved Qiong to the ground. But seeing Qiong still lying there, completely unaware of what was happening, she regretted her actions.

She's not here today to let someone enjoy her pleasure and then lose their memory. Let's get down to business...

The great goddess Kiana tried to put on a kind smile—though Sora couldn't see her face at all.

"Are you alright? Did I hurt you just now?"

Qiong: ?

He pushed me down, then asked me if I was okay?

Are you crazy?

Recalling the forceful tactics she used when she rejected her last time, Qiong didn't reply. She just cautiously glanced at the "goddess," looking around as if trying to find an exit.

Unfortunately, the surroundings were empty, with nothing but the ground beneath his feet and the full moon overhead.

"Is the exit on the moon?"

Qiong muttered to herself, beginning to estimate whether her jumping ability, which was almost zero and vastly different from her other stats, could reach the moon...

Okay, that's not very realistic.

"Hi~ We meet again, my chosen representative in the world."

Qiong looked at the "goddess" warily.

"I must state that I never agreed to that!"

"Oh dear, this is so sad. You're the one I chose!"

Suddenly, the "goddess's" voice became much lower.

"Young man, you are the one in a million, the destined one. You, along with your companions, can end the Honkai calamity, understand? Besides, why harbor hostility towards this goddess? Aren't the stigmata I gave you quite useful?"

Yes, yes, it works really well! Not only could it not beat Kevin, but it also startled Old Yang and even attracted Yae Sakura...

"However, this goddess is magnanimous and will not pursue your grave offense of disrespect, you 'lost lamb'!"

After all, in her imagination, Qiong would eventually commit the sin of disrespect multiple times—fighting the Earth God on the real battlefield of the moon, rather than in the scenes she conjured up, until one or even both sides were exhausted and the world was dark. In the end, after several battles, a gray-haired successor would be born!

What exactly do you want?

Qiong frowned. Unsolicited kindness must be suspicious. He couldn't understand why this "god" had come knocking on his door again—besides, what god would come from in Honkai Impact 3rd at this point?

The "goddess" stood with her hands on her hips—if it weren't for her noticeably thicker waist and legs, Qiong would have really thought it was Kiana.

"This time, I, the goddess, am giving you a chance—a chance to solve your troubles! If you agree to become my servant, I can help you with your girl problems and even grant you greater power! But don't resist becoming my servant; I only need you for your life after your 'sacrifice'! Once you die, I will find your soul and resurrect it in your body. After that, I want you to live for me. How about it? Isn't this a great deal? Don't hesitate, sign the contract and become a future divine servant!"

"Isn't your business a bit too broad?"

"Um... I'm a god, all-knowing and all-powerful, that makes sense, right?"

Don't get me wrong, the magnanimous Kiana wouldn't do something as outrageous as monopolizing Sora. Mei, Bronya, and Seele can all come to the moon and enjoy happy times with her and Sora.

What? Is she trying to steal Mei's man? No, no, no, don't get it wrong, she's helping Mei!

Kiana has tested Sora's mental strength several times recently, and when converted to physical terms, it would only be stronger. Mei's physique was quite good after the Great Honkai Impact ended, but even if she was strong, she couldn't possibly withstand Sora's vigorous vitality and special needs. With excessive demand and insufficient supply, a fully awakened Sora (if she really does) would eventually choose to have an affair because Mei couldn't stand it after marriage. Perhaps a maid like Rita or a bad travel companion like March Seven would take advantage of Mei's vulnerability during her period, business trip, or pregnancy, and cuckold her a few times... But her arrangements have eliminated this possibility!

Kiana was happily imagining her future life with two women on either side after the revision, and even thought about the possibility of being close to Bronya and Seele at the same time (couldn't Sora's wife also be hers?). The only thing she didn't think about was whether Sora would refuse this new agreement.

Yes, in Kiana's eyes, Sora had no other choice. But in Sora's eyes...

The new agreement with the "goddess" is an unequal treaty.

If he's like this, the worst outcome would be that his reputation at the academy would be as bad as Siegfried's, and a few more scandals involving Sora would arise. And this so-called "god" actually wants to exchange his life from now on.

Is there any contract in the world this unfair? Making him sign this is an insult to his intelligence.

We will never sign unequal treaties!

Kiana looked at Sora, wondering why she hadn't arrived yet.

Unable to contain herself, she spoke first: hands on hips, feigning anger, "God's" wrath activated!

"Have you thought it through? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You'll be in big trouble if you end up caught in the middle with girls!"

Upon hearing this, Qiong's heart skipped a beat. Although she definitely wouldn't sign the contract with the "goddess," but...

"Then what's your solution?"

Kiana smiled slightly. "Alright, the fish is about to take the bait."

"There is a way, of course. But... you have to sign the contract first."

"Then let's not."

Upon hearing this, Qiong, fearing that she would be forced to buy and sell again, quickly retreated and even prepared to punch herself on the head twice—she must be dreaming, so let herself feel the pain and she would wake up.

Kiana: ?

At least ask one question! She could then reveal her fabricated identity as the "Old Man of the Moon" from Chinese legend, letting Qiong know that he has a very complicated red thread of fate connecting him with his loved ones, but it's all on Earth, with no aliens or strangers involved…

He also needs to make it clear that the beautiful white-haired, blue-eyed girl he has known the longest will be the one he loves most.

But as Qiong punched himself in the forehead, he didn't even have the chance to force a sale.

--------------

After the storyline unfolded, I really couldn't laugh anymore.

Sai Fei'er was delighted to receive that summer treatment.

How should I put it? One moment I was fighting a boss and listening to background music, and the next moment the cat was dead?

Unexpectedly, the dawn was a deceptive lie, and even the annoying local piggy bank and the thief spirit were themselves a "trick"...

None of this really matters, but how did the story end here? It's giving me a stomachache!

I want to see Ai Li (crossed out) Xi Lian!

Let's go play games with Giovanni at Pinocchio, and while we're at it, review the unknowable domains that we've never seriously studied before...
