Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 131 Not afraid of Qiong denying it

"What's wrong, Bronya? Is it because you don't like today's food?"

Although Bronya always seems to have that expressionless face, Raiden Mei, who spends every day with her, still noticed that Bronya was absent-minded.

When Kiana usually comes over for a meal, she always tries to steal food from Kiana. Even though Kiana isn't here today, she shouldn't just be eating from the bowl in front of her, right? That's so strange!

He's not eating well; there's something wrong with his thinking. And for some reason, he suddenly went to Qiong's room… Is he missing them?

"Mei-neechan, Bronya is alright."

She's really fine, she just needs time to process what's going on. The information from these photos has been a huge shock to Bronya.

If there really is a way to travel through time, many strange things can be explained. Bronya has made up her mind to pry the truth out of Qiong's mouth!

By the way, to prevent a certain gray-haired character from denying or even destroying evidence, Bronya took two photos: one was a photo of Sora, the adult version of "her", and Seele, and the other was a photo of Sora and "her" together.

With these two pieces of direct evidence, there's no need to worry about Qiong denying it!

"Kiana, you guys..."

"Dead Gray Hair, come out from behind Aunt Himeko!"

"Kiana, don't call me 'Auntie'! You have to call me 'Beautiful Himeko-neechan'! Also..."

Qiong made an internationally friendly gesture to Kiana.

"A real man doesn't just say he won't come out!"

On the ship at sea, Kiana was still chasing Qiong, and the cabin and deck were filled with noise. Fu Hua shook her head helplessly, thinking that it was tantamount to wishing these two people with excess energy who had nowhere else to vent their frustrations to stop.

Let's get down to business, like taking a look at the ocean collapse energy distribution map sent by the Far East branch.

Believe it or not, you can actually see things when you look at it.

"Report: An underwater cave has been discovered, showing a strong Honkai energy reaction!"

"Alright, let's get ready to explore the sea!"

Just as Himeko mentioned going to sea, Sora suddenly realized something.

"Himeko-neechan!"

Qiong raised her hand.

"I don't think I have any diving experience."

Himeko's face suddenly stiffened. She hadn't anticipated going into the sea; these children had no experience. What if...?

"Oh dear, since we're already here, let's go down together. If you don't know how, I can teach you!"

As she spoke, Kiana, who had just been chasing after Sora, put a helmet on his head and then ran into the cabin to get more diving equipment.

Kiana, you know how to swim and dive?

"don't know."

Kiana, walking towards the cabin, answered Sora's question.

"Then you still dare to teach me?"

"Oh, stop asking so many questions! Hurry up, for Aunt Himeko's sake, get in the water!"

-----------

Wow, this place is so beautiful!

With the help of an oxygen mask, Qiong's anxiety lessened somewhat. The sea was indeed quite beautiful, but she needed to get used to the water pressure.

Kiana plunged headfirst into the sea, completely disregarding the water pressure, as if it had no effect on her.

"Hey, class monitor, do you guys think there might be sea monsters at the bottom of the ocean?"

"Kiana, there are very few legends about sea monsters in China... Exploration complete, this is not the Nine Netherworld."

Using an underwater detector, Fu Hua determined that this was not their destination.

"Huh? I was even thinking of saving a mermaid or something..."

"Idiot, where in this world are there mermaids?"

"Since this isn't our destination, let's hurry up and get there."

Qiong didn't like being underwater; the ocean didn't give him a sense of security. All his abilities were useless underwater, and what if there really was some kind of ocean-destroying beast? That would be disastrous!

For three days in a row, the four of them ran from one point to another, discovering many Honkai Beasts or marine creatures infected by Honkai energy, but they just couldn't find Jiuyou.

"Where exactly is the Nine Netherworld?"

The four's mindset shifted from initial optimism to eventual disappointment, with even the most eager Kiana and Himeko becoming increasingly unmotivated.

What they didn't know was that while they were searching for Jiuyou, there was another ship following them.

"So slow! How come these idiots still can't find Jiuyou! My grand plan is about to be ruined by a bunch of fools!"

Xing witnessed Walter Joyce's impotent rage and merely sneered.

The plan was devised by an arrogant fool, and the key to its success was a group of silly Valkyries. It would be strange if it succeeded!

I'm more reliable on my own; I can't let this arrogant jerk waste my time any longer.

"Alliance Leader, those Valkyries are utterly useless!"

"That's right! Xing? Marsh, do you have any good ideas?"

It's here! The thing that Anne Mar has been waiting for has arrived.

She gave the so-called leader what she thought was a friendly smile—but others would only be horrified by her toothy grin.

"Lord Alliance Leader, useless things have no value. I think those scum of destiny deserve to die! Why don't you use your power to send them all to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!"

"My power? Hahahaha!"

From Xing's perspective, the megalomaniac laughed maniacally again after hearing her words.

Are you sick in the head? How many times has this happened in the last few days?!

"Very good, that's a good suggestion! This alliance leader has no need for these Valkyries at all. As for the Nine Netherworlds, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for me to deal with them personally? I don't need these Valkyries!"

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

"This is the last stop."

Is this all that's left?

After three days, Kiana's morale has gone from high to low.

Only the dome remained unchanged.

"Don't worry, Kiana, we'll definitely find Jiuyou. Why don't you think about what to buy to eat when we get back to shore?"

Qiong patted Kiana on the shoulder in a comforting gesture, but it had no effect.

"Grey Hair, how can I be at ease? If we can't find the Stigmata, Aunt Himeko might..."

"Could it be that we're heading in the wrong direction? If the legend is true, then Ji Xuanyuan's tribe must be on land. Perhaps we should venture deeper into the Divine Continent to search for ruins?"

Fu Hua raised an objection, which Qiong immediately opposed.

"Squad leader, illegal archaeological work within China's borders will get you arrested!"

"But what about now?"

"We're in international waters now—even if we search within China's borders... what, are you planning to search Mount Taixu?"

"Mount Taixu, Mount Taixu... Yes! How come I didn't think of that!"

Fu Hua's eyes lit up as she considered many possibilities.

"Uh, I was just saying, don't take it too seriously... Hurry up and get back into the sea, keep looking for Jiuyou! If we don't find Jiuyou, nobody's going to eat today!"

Qiong suddenly felt a strong pressure. Could his casual remark have led Fu Hua and the entire team astray?

The pressure is immense, I need to quickly change into my wetsuit.

Damn, is this a bit too much psychological pressure? Why does the wetsuit feel heavier?

"Valkyries, I'm giving you a chance to surrender: come quickly and show your respect to the great Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader, or you'll be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, boat and all!"

"who?"

Qiong looked up at the source of the sound. Wasn't that the person who had hit on Himeko a few days ago, and Anzu Mar?

We've been on guard for two days and haven't seen a trace of them. Why are they suddenly appearing now? But the timing is wrong. Shouldn't we wait until they find Jiuyou before showing up to steal the fruit?! The person who flirted with Himeko should be a Walter clone, right? He's holding a fake Eden Star, which is probably why his diving suit is too heavy.

Regardless, Qiong pulled out her already fully charged Flame Spear and top hat.

He doesn't like robbing others, but he's not the kind of person who can accept being robbed and having his Xuanyuan Sword and Stigmata stolen. He's just bringing forward the planned start of the war.

"Are they the kid and the uncle from that day? Strange, why does my head feel so heavy?"

"Kiana, it's not your imagination."

Qiong took off her diving helmet; it wouldn't be good to fight while wearing it.

"That brat you mentioned, I remember now. I think I heard Rosalia and Lilia mention him. He's one of Cocolia's daughters, I think his name is Anne Mar?"

"It's that auntie again?!"
