NOVEL NEXT Chapter 160: Chapter 155: I really want to cover Fu Lin's neck with my kiss marks...
"???" Fu Lin stared at the suddenly trembling Kiana in complete bewilderment.
"Take a deep breath~ Just answer me: do you want it or not?" Kiana, covering her face with embarrassment, peeked through her fingers to observe Fu Lin's expression, nervously asking.
Fu Lin looked at Kiana in confusion, then at the black card near her chest, and fell silent, "..."
3 billion? Since when did Kiana become so rich?!
'What should I do? I'm kind of tempted. Waiting online, its very urgent!!'
--------------------------
At this moment, Sirin in the consciousness space couldn't take it anymore. She pulled Kiana into the consciousness space, angrily pointing at Kiana's nose and said, "That's for Brother! I won't allow you to give it to that stinky man!"
"And can't you show some restraint?!"
"Watch your words! It's Fu Lin~" Kiana got angry when she heard Sirin call Fu Lin a stinky man. She crossed her arms and glared at Sirin, correcting her.
"So what if it is? That money is Brother's!" Sirin pushed Kiana down in the consciousness space, angrily glaring at the Kiana beneath her.
"For the sake of my happiness, making a little sacrifice is necessary. Besides…"
"We can just ask Otto for more later. It's not like it's urgent right now."
Kiana turned and pinned Sirin beneath her, looking at Sirin's aggrieved expression. Her eyes gleamed as an idea struck her, and she released Sirin's wrists.
"..." Sirin remained silent for a moment, then kicked Kiana out of the consciousness space.
Far away at the Schicksal headquarters, Otto, who was playing his Kallen fantasy game, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. A slip of his hand caused him to make a mistake in the game, and he glumly stared at the "Defeat" screen.
"Fu Lin~ Do you want it? If you want it, you'll have to reach for it yourself." Kiana's consciousness returned, and she grabbed Fu Lin's hand, which was waving in front of her. Slowly guiding it toward her chest, she spoke in a tempting tone.
"I appreciate the kind gesture, but money is just a material possession."
"Benefactor, you mustn't." Fu Lin pulled his hand back, looking at Kiana's disappointed gaze. He couldn't believe this dumb paramecium was actually trying to bribe him with money.
"Hmm~ Then I'll keep it?" Kiana's eyes darkened as she stuffed the black card into her chest until it disappeared into the creamy white valley.
Fu Lin reluctantly averted his gaze. To say he didn't want it would be a lie, but he couldn't shake the feeling that Kiana had ulterior motives. Accepting it might lead to trouble.
"Fu Lin~ My dear Fu Lin~"
"Fu Lin~"
Kiana clenched her fists and took a deep breath, whispering in an excited tone. The hidden affection in her eyes suddenly erupted.
Fu Lin turned to look at the trembling Kiana beside him, listening to her murmurs. His hair stood on end, and a chill ran down his back.
"Fu Lin~ You'd better behave..." Kiana raised her head, her flushed face gazing at Fu Lin with eyes full of desire and obsession.
Fu Lin placed a finger on Kiana's lips, looking deeply into her eyes. He took out a black box and said, "Shh~ Don't speak."
"I have a gift for you too." Kiana stared dumbfounded at Fu Lin, her reflection in his eyes making the moment feel frozen in time.
"Aren't you going to open it?" Fu Lin placed the box in Kiana's hands, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He silently gave himself a thumbs-up for his quick thinking.
"This is..." Kiana took the box, untying the ribbon and slowly opening the lid. As she saw the red shard inside, tears began to fall.
"Teacher Himeko's Divine Descent Sword," Fu Lin said softly, stroking Kiana's white hair to comfort her.
Kiana threw herself into Fu Lin's arms, clutching his clothes as she sobbed quietly. Before long, her tears soaked a large patch of Fu Lin's shirt.
After an unknown amount of time, Kiana slowly raised her head, choking back tears as she looked at Fu Lin. "Fu Lin, then what about Teacher Himeko...?"
"...Although I couldn't find Himeko, I did chat with her shadow for a while." Fu Lin scratched his head, looking awkwardly at the Kiana leaning against him.
"What did Teacher Himeko say?" Kiana's eyes lit up as she wiped away her tears and asked.
"She... She's always been watching over you, seeing you grow step by step, defeating Honkai time and time again, and becoming a Valkyrie capable of standing on her own…"
"She also said she doesn't like how you are now, especially when you're dealing with me. Stop always thinking about monopolizing me. We can clearly get along harmoniously…"
Fu Lin licked his lips, looking into Kiana's moist, azure eyes. He began making things up on the spot. Whether he could change Kiana depended on this moment.
"..." At first, Kiana's eyes were filled with tears as she listened to Fu Lin's words, but as she heard the latter part, she gradually realized what was going on. Still, she didn't interrupt Fu Lin.
Instead, she quietly stared at his fair, delicate neck, a red glint flashing in her eyes, 'I really want to cover Fu Lin's neck with my kiss marks...'
