Chapter 438 It’s not Fu Ming, it’s Fu Hua!

Three days later, lying on the hospital bed, Kiana, wrapped in bandages all over her body, slowly opened her eyes. All she saw was a dazzling white, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

She tried to move her body, but felt a piercing pain coming over her like a tide, causing Kiana☆ to gasp.

The pain was as if someone had torn her body into countless pieces, and every muscle and every bone was groaning in pain.

However, compared to the pain in her body, the figure before fainting made her more concerned. Kiana☆ endured the severe pain, sat up, and called out the name:

"Ah Ming!"

At this moment, a clear and slightly teasing voice reached Kiana☆'s ears:

"Hey~ You finally woke up~ Looks like you've recovered well!"

Kiana☆ looked over when she heard the sound, and saw a little girl with white hair and blue eyes sitting steadily on a huge golden cross.

The little girl was wearing a black nun's uniform, with a barely perceptible smile on her delicate face, and was looking at him with interest.

Kiana☆ looked at this strange little girl, and was so anxious that she had no time to think about who she was, so she blurted out:

"Little ghost, have you seen Ah Ming?"

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Kiana☆ saw that the little girl's smiling face suddenly turned gloomy, as if her reverse scale had been touched.

"Kid!"

Theresa shouted in a low voice, a flash of anger in her eyes, and then she just snapped her fingers lightly, and under Kiana's surprised gaze -

The huge golden cross suddenly moved, shooting out four golden chains that flew towards Kiana☆ as fast as lightning and tied her limbs tightly in the blink of an eye.

"ah!"

Following Kiana's scream, Theresa swiftly jumped onto the fence at the end of the bed, looked down at Kiana, whose limbs were bound by chains, and said with a little dissatisfaction:

"Who are you calling a brat? You little girl! My name is Theresa, and I'm the head of the Far East branch of this Destiny Organization."

However, before she finished her words, Theresa seemed to suddenly remember something. Her expression softened instantly. She leaned down slightly and asked softly:

"You didn't even use a pseudonym, and you didn't fear the danger of entering the Houkai Zone - are you expecting to be noticed by your father? Siegfried's daughter~"

Hearing this, Kiana☆ was surprised at first, but when she thought of the other party's identity, she instantly regained her composure and responded calmly:

"You know my dad? Oh, that's right. My dad is wanted by the Destiny Organization. It's not surprising that the head of the Far East Branch knows my dad."

After hearing what Kiana☆ said, Theresa's cute little face showed a look of surprise. She blinked her eyes and slowly spoke:

"...This shouldn't be the case. As Kaslana, this shouldn't be the case. Normally, you should be the type with a simple mind and strong limbs."

When Kiana☆ heard this, she immediately shouted at Theresa unconvincedly:

"Hey! Who are you calling stupid? I'm smart, don't you dare say that to me!"

Fu Ming, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene. He put his hands on his hips, raised his head proudly, puffed out his chest, and nodded in agreement:

"That's right, my Kiana☆ is so smart. Of course, this is all thanks to me!"

Seeing this, Theresa waved her hands helplessly and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Actually, your father and I are old acquaintances. I even know where he is now~"

However, Kiana☆ just responded with a faint "Oh", as if she didn't show much interest or surprise in the news.

Theresa couldn't help herself this time. The calm image she had tried so hard to maintain collapsed instantly. She frowned slightly and complained with a look of resentment:

"...Hey, you, at least cooperate with me. Show me that anxious look and can't wait to know more details!

What's the matter with your calm and unmoved reaction? Aren't you curious about where your dad is? "

Hearing Theresa's complaint, Kiana☆ looked completely confused and blinked her eyes, as if she had no idea why Theresa was so excited.

Then, Kiana asked:

"Compared to my dad, I want to know where Ah Ming is. I want to see him right away!"

Upon hearing this, Theresa stared at Kiana with a puzzled look on her face. She had no impression of the person "A Ming" she mentioned.

Not only that, Theresa carefully recalled the information she had, and there was no mention of such a person at all. Could it be that the information was wrong?

Then, Theresa's expression suddenly became serious, and she asked solemnly:

"A Ming? Who is this? You have been unconscious for a long time and have been mumbling non-stop. Is he important to you?"

Faced with Theresa's barrage of questions, Kiana☆ suddenly became as quiet as if she were cast under a spell.

She took a deep breath, slowly raised her head, and asked again with a firm gaze:

"He is really important to me. Who is the person who saved me? I want to see him no matter what!"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Fu Ming, who had been standing nearby like a spectator, couldn't help but blush.

At this time, Theresa stretched out a slender finger and gently pressed it against her chin. Her big eyes turned slightly upwards, revealing an expression of trying hard to recall something.

After a while, she finally said:

"Oh, let me think about it... Well, you should be talking about Fu Hua, what's the matter, do you want to thank her in person for saving your life?"

Hearing the name "Fu Hua", Kiana, who was originally very excited, suddenly calmed down and whispered the name:

"Fu Hua?"

Seeing Kiana's reaction, Theresa smiled and nodded. Then, she moved closer, almost touching Kiana's face, and said in a seductive tone:

"That's right, it's Fu Hua!

She is the famous A-level Valkyrie of our St. Freya Academy!

If you want to see her, it’s not difficult. Just join our St. Freya College, and you will be able to see her every day!

How about it, are you moved?"

Kiana☆ looked at Theresa in confusion, tilted her head slightly, and asked in a clear voice:

"St. Freya's College?"

Theresa explained with a smile:

“Yes, it is the only institution in the world that trains warriors to fight against Honkai, namely the Valkyries.

By the way, your two friends, Raiden Mei and Bronya, have already agreed to enroll~Kiana-chan~"

When Fu Ming saw Theresa trying so hard to persuade Kiana, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

But after hearing the news that Mei☆ was also about to join St. Freya's Academy, Kiana☆'s originally relaxed face suddenly became gloomy and a little ugly.

She clenched her fists tightly, as if she wanted to suppress some strong emotional fluctuations in her heart.

But soon, it seemed that a figure very similar to Ah Ming suddenly appeared in her mind, which relaxed her originally tense nerves a little.

After a brief but intense ideological struggle, Kiana finally gritted her teeth and said firmly:

"Okay, I'll join!"

Seeing this, Theresa was delighted. After letting Judas take back the chains, she nodded with satisfaction and said:

"This is a wise choice. In this case, I will train you to be a warrior who can stand on his own.

By the way, I held you in my arms when you were a child, so you should call me Auntie."

One day ago...

In an airtight, dimly lit hut, Mei☆ sat on a small bed in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.

That originally pretty face was now shrouded in endless sorrow. A few tears slid slowly and uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes, finally dripping onto the cold ground, making a slight yet heartbreaking sound.

Mei☆'s eyes were empty and lifeless as she stared at the hand that had just killed Fu Ming. Her heart was filled with unspeakable pain and self-blame, as if that hand was covered in blood that could never be washed clean.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open and Ji Zi walked in from outside.

When she saw Mei☆, who had a confused look on her face and exuded a lifeless aura, she couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart, but she still kept a serious expression on her face.

Himeko looked at Mei☆ and spoke slowly:

"Your friend Kiana☆ is out of danger."

Upon hearing this news, Mei☆'s lifeless eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, but soon dimmed again, and she murmured in an almost inaudible voice:

"Really? Great, you can do whatever you want to me from now on."

Ji Zi looked at the girl in front of her who didn't care about her life at all, her face darkened slightly, and she said with a chill in her tone:

"Kill you? Okay.

If one Herrscher is missing, the world will be able to escape the prophecy of destruction."

Mei☆ just lowered her head silently upon hearing this, and continued softly:

“Really…that’s good.

As long as I live, I will definitely hurt others, so if I die..."

However, before Mei☆ could finish her desperate words, Himeko suddenly raised her hand and slapped Mei☆ hard in the face with a Dabi.

All I heard was a crisp "pa" sound, which echoed throughout the space. The crisp and loud sound of the slap made people's hearts tremble.

Jizi's face was full of anger, and she shouted angrily:

"Don't be ridiculous! I'm a warrior who fights against Houkai, not an executioner who kills girls!

If you are going to give up on yourself so soon, then give your life to me and let me train you to become a warrior capable of controlling your own power!"

Mei was a little dazed by the sudden slap, but she still endured the burning pain on her cheek and slowly raised her head.

At this moment, her eyes were already filled with tears, her lips trembled, and she choked as she spoke:

"So what? I can't forgive myself at all!"

The moment these words reached her ears, Ji Zi's eyes involuntarily fell on the haggard but resolute girl in front of her.

Those once lively eyes had now lost their luster, replaced by deep despair and a desire for death.

This resolute look made Ji Zi's heart tremble, and she stood still.

For a moment, the surroundings fell into dead silence, only Mei☆'s low sobs echoed in the air, which did not dissipate for a long time.

Jizi just stared at Mei☆ in a daze, with mixed feelings in her heart. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. She silently opened her arms and gently hugged Mei☆ tightly in her arms.

When Mei☆ felt the kindness in Himeko's embrace, the tears she had been holding back finally burst out like a flood.

Unable to suppress the pain and grievance deep in my heart any longer, I burst into tears.
