A faint purple glow flickered in Kiana's eyes as she lightly waved her small hand toward Star-Moon Port, sending a wave of Divine Power carrying the clearance of rules sweeping across the area.
After finishing this, Kiana nodded with satisfaction and said,
"That should do it. Pom-Pom and the others should be able to have a good time in Warahip now."
Creeeak—
The door was pushed open, and Yueli leaned half her body in, giving Kiana and Mei a slight smile.
"Elder Sister, Sister Mei, it's time for us to set off~"
"Alright, Little Li..."
After nodding, Kiana turned to look at Mei.
"Mei, where did Bronya go?"
After returning to this world, Bronya had temporarily left, and Kiana didn't know what she was up to.
But looking at Mei's expression, she seemed to know exactly where the other was going.
"No need to wait for Bronya. She went to see Bonnia about something; she should be done soon."
Mei thought of the cruel curve that had hooked onto Bronya's lips before she left and silently mourned for Bonnia in her heart for a second.
Clearly, Mei was already used to such things; she even suspected that Bonnia had become a masochist.
"Well then, let's head out first."
Kiana furrowed her brows and thought seriously for a moment but couldn't figure out what Bronya was doing, so she simply shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Once decided, Kiana took Mei and her younger sister Yueli through the Imaginary Gate to the Wangshu Grand Hotel.
After coming back, she had notified all her acquaintances to have a gathering together and had reserved the entire top floor of the Wangshu Grand Hotel. It didn't cost a cent, as it was her own family's property after all.
Elysia and Welt said they would arrive a bit later, as they were likely going to wander around with the Astral Express crew for a while before bringing them over.
Stepping out of the Imaginary Gate, Kiana saw Qingque, who was yawning and had slight dark circles under her eyes, walking slowly toward the hotel.
"Qingque!"
"Ah... it's Kiana..."
Hearing someone call her name, Qingque turned around with a yawn and waved listlessly at Kiana.
Kiana's sharp eyes immediately spotted the ring on Qingque's ring finger. Her eyes lit up, and she leaned in close to Qingque with a gossiping expression.
"Oho~ who managed to snatch away our little Qingque? Come on, tell This Young Miss the gos... cough, tell me about it."
Although Kiana guessed it was probably Fu Xuan, she still wanted to see Qingque's own reaction.
The last time they met was right when she had woken up. At that time, she and Mei had been in such a hurry that they hadn't noticed the specific changes in their companions.
"Go away... what do you mean'snatched away'?"
Qingque gave Kiana a light push and a playful glare, though her eyes softened with warmth as she said,
"You make it sound like my Ah Xuan is some kind of beast."
"Oho~ as I thought!"
Kiana nudged Qingque twice with her elbow, her brows arching as she gave a mischievous chuckle with an ambiguous look.
It seemed Qingque was being kept on a very tight leash; otherwise, her complexion wouldn't look so poor.
It was definitely because her slacking time had been drastically reduced, and she was forced to work seriously every day.
The clever Kiana had already seen through everything: Qingque was henpecked.
"One look at you and I know you're up to no good. Get inside, get inside. Ah Xuan rushed back from the Luofu's teleportation array as soon as she got the news. She's probably already waiting inside..."
Qingque spoke weakly, rubbing her waist as she walked inward.
Kiana watched her rubbing her waist, her eyes narrowing into a slightly lewd and comical expression.
Qingque was indeed very 'happy'.
Ah Xuan was also a tough one, tossing Qingque around like that, yet Ah Xuan could still go to work as usual the next day. Truly an extraordinary person.
"Does Kiana want to be like that too?"
Mei walked up to Kiana's side, a playful smile curving on her lips as she looked at Kiana sideways with smiling eyes.
"No... no thank you, for now..."
Kiana shrank her head back in fear and gave a sheepish laugh.
She was truly afraid of Mei and Bronya. Even someone as strong as Kiana found it a bit hard to bear.
Not physically, but mentally. If she continued being this indolent, she was going to turn into a complete toy.
"Just teasing you. Let's go."
"Mei, you've learned to be bad..."
Kiana breathed a sigh of relief, pouting with a faint tone, which drew a doting smile from Mei.
Yueli watched the two from behind, her eyes constantly flashing with a bright light. The irrepressible curve of her lips proved she was very pleased internally.
At that moment, a joyful voice came from behind her—
"Yueli! I'm here!"
"Hmm...?"
Yueli turned to look and saw a beautiful girl from the Insect Spirit Clan running happily toward her.
The girl had smooth silver hair and a silly, innocent smile constantly on her face.
"It's Saliel. Did you just arrive?"
"Mother Liviel came with me. She even specially prepared this for me. Mother said you would like it very much."
Saliel pulled out a 'Purple Mood' from her bag and handed it to Yueli. Looking at her face seeking praise, she seemed completely unaware of what it was.
"..."
The smile on Yueli's face froze, the curve of her lips vanished, and she took the Purple Mood.
Snap—
Yueli snapped it in half instantly, used her Causality clearance to return it to its state before being manufactured, and then threw it into a nearby trash can.
"Saliel, you don't have to learn everything Aunt Liviel teaches you~"
"Eh...? Okay... alright..."
Seeing Yueli looking even more serious than usual, Saliel could only nod weakly in response.
Seeing the other's obedient look, Yueli breathed a sigh of relief. She took the girl's hand and turned to walk toward Kiana, her gaze slightly dark.
That idiot Aunt Liviel! What kind of messy things is she instilling in her childhood friend all day long!
In fact, Liviel simply saw that her child liked Yueli very much and was silently supporting her from behind.
Saliel was a childhood friend Yueli had grown up with. It started when they were young and went to the Abundance Divine Tree with their two mothers; this silly-looking, cute little girl had been following her ever since.
At that time, Yueli was playful and unwilling to take a 'dummy' running around with her, so she ran blindly through the Divine Tree's courtyard and almost fell into a bottomless abyss.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Saliel awakened her wings and flew over, risking her life to save her.
From that moment on, Yueli considered this silly girl her best friend.
"Little Li, is this your friend?"
Kiana looked at Yueli, who had jogged to her side, and noticed she was holding the hand of a girl she hadn't seen before, so she asked.
It wasn't hard to tell the girl's race from her features. One had to admit that none of the Insect Spirit Clan were ugly.
"Yes, she's my best friend, her name is Saliel."
After saying that, she looked at Saliel and reached out to introduce Kiana.
"This is my elder sister Kiana, who is also the General of our Warahip."
"Eh...! G-Greetings, Lord General!"
Hearing this, Saliel immediately stood at attention, her facial expression freezing. she looked extremely nervous.
"No need to be so nervous. Since you're Little Li's friend, just treat everyone at the party as family."
Kiana let out a light chuckle, covering her mouth, then reached out to rub the girl's head like a caring older sister.
Mei did the same. To her, these juniors were indeed like children.
"Speaking of which, that child Lisa should have grown into a graceful young lady by now, right?"
Kiana suddenly remembered the little girl who used to like clinging to her. She hadn't seen her the last time she woke up; she should be coming back this time, right?
"Indeed. Let's go upstairs."
"Mhm, okay~"
Kiana and her group followed the spiral staircase all the way to the top floor of Warahip.
