World Modulation Mode in Honkai

*Valkyrie Dormitory.*

*One Minute Ago.*

"Mr. Ye Feng?"

A voice from outside called out, and Kiana, panicked, hurriedly got off the vanity, knocking over her makeup box.

Before she could take a few steps, she was pressed against the bookshelf by the door.

"Let me go, you jerk!"

"I can't do that. We're in the middle of a bet. Kiana wouldn't want to be seen as untrustworthy, would she? Or are you intentionally breaking the agreement because you want me to let Mei in too?"

"Ugh…"

Kiana immediately deflated like a balloon that had the air sucked out of it.

If she broke the agreement, it would ruin the reputation of Kaslana.

If she kept going, Mei would find out.

Caught in a dilemma, Kiana couldn't help but start sweating.

The girl was drenched in sweet sweat, as if she had just been pulled out of the water. Her cheongsam clung tightly to her skin in the warm air of early summer.

The damp fabric clung translucently, faintly revealing her flushed skin.

The calls from outside grew more urgent, and Kiana's heart raced.

"Let me in, you big jerk! Mei's coming in!"

"And what does that have to do with me?"

Kiana was exasperated.

What do you mean it has nothing to do with you?

Aren't you the one causing all this?

Huff... 

Calm down, stay composed.

Kiana was a smart girl.

She turned back and forced a smile at Ye Feng, saying, "Please, can you help me activate the 'invisibility' state?"

Ye Feng returned her smile gently.

Their gazes met, and Kiana thought she had succeeded.

"No."

She was outright rejected.

Ye Feng smiled, "You're asking me to break my principles. I'm not like that bug, wavering between keeping promises and breaking agreements. If I say I won't do something, I stick to it. It's like saying, 'If you take off your clothes, you'll go all the way.'

If I say I won't activate the state for you, then I won't."

"...."

Kiana was left speechless.

She even wanted to praise Ye Feng's integrity.

Indeed.

Ever since coming to this world, he always kept his word and never lied.

"If you don't open the door soon, I'm going to break in!"

Mei's anxious voice rang out again from outside.

Kiana anxiously glanced at Ye Feng.

Just by looking at Kiana, Ye Feng knew what she was worried about and explained:

"It's just a regular door. Not just Mei, even a strong adult could break it down."

"!!"

Kiana's pupils dilated, staring at the door, her heart racing.

There was only a door between them, but Kiana could almost imagine Mei's anxious expression outside.

If Mei really came in...

"Hehe, are you scared? Just call me 'darling,' and I'll help you out."

"...."

"Worried about Mei finding out? You don't have to say it out loud; just think of me and repeat it in your heart. See, I'm so considerate of you."

"...."

"If you don't make a decision soon, Mei is going to come in. I don't care what happens."

"Ahh, I get it, I get it!"

Kiana reluctantly shouted in her heart.

"...Darling."

Even just thinking it made Kiana feel awkward and stutter.

As for Ye Feng's face, she didn't even need to think hard; that annoying expression would just pop up in her mind.

"Good girl."

Ye Feng patted the bug's head.

"Helping my dear! With! Troubles! Is naturally my duty."

"Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution. Mei is coming in!"

"I'm already invisible. Mei won't notice your lower body; you can open the door now."

Huff... 

Hearing this, Kiana let out a sigh of relief.

Without any hesitation, she opened the door just before Mei was about to break in.

She trusted Ye Feng that much.

"...Mei, what brings you here?"

Kiana asked casually, pretending to be relaxed.

Mei's eyes flickered, clearly sensing that something was off.

She rushed in, looking around as if trying to find something.

Kiana's heart raced again.

At that moment, Ye Feng, that big jerk, had the audacity to mock her in her mind.

"Fate really is a cycle. Yesterday you were invisible, today it's my turn. How interesting, isn't it? No need to be so nervous; Mei tends to overlook the scents and certain liquids in the room. I promised to help my dear, and of course, I'll see it through."

"Hehe, should I thank you?"

"No need for that. Just a friendly reminder, my dear little bug, if the number on your lower abdomen doesn't change within three minutes, I'll become visible."

"Eh, you—!"

"Good luck."

Then Ye Feng lay back, shutting off their mental communication, leaving Kiana in a panic.

Wait, three minutes, and the number decreases?

Can you even manage that?

Kiana was really on edge.

After all, this chaos was serious; he meant what he said.

If she were exposed, she didn't know how he would feel, but Kiana was sure she wouldn't be able to face Mei anymore.

So, her ponytail flew wildly as she desperately did squats.

Beads of sweat dripped down from her forehead, pooling at her chin, the glistening droplets reflecting the warm light.

"Kiana?"

Mei looked over, puzzled.

She sensed something was off.

But if you returned to your dorm and saw your roommate doing squats frantically, what would you think?

Of course, you wouldn't think much of it; you'd just think this roommate loves to exercise.

Moreover, Valkyries emphasized physical fitness.

Squats were one of the physical training exercises.

Kiana squatted in a wide stance, her fair thighs exposed from the slit of her cheongsam, her hands clasped behind her head.

"Mei, is there something you need…?"

"Um…"

Feeling a bit out of place, Mei stared at Kiana, who was dripping with sweat. "Why are you doing squats here…?"

"Um, well, it's that... yeah, I'm practicing for the Valkyrie exam here, that's why I got such good results!"

Kiana finally came up with a plausible excuse.

"Really? Some people were saying Kiana was cheating, and I was really angry. Turns out Kiana has been working hard here all along!"

Mei smiled sincerely.

Looking again, Kiana's strange squatting posture didn't seem so out of place anymore.

"Your form is wrong, and you don't need to go that fast."

Mei walked over with a light laugh and adjusted Kiana's posture.

"Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward. You don't need to squat that low."

"Eh, eh, Mei? I know, I don't need to, um…"

"Kiana, be obedient. If you do it like this, you'll injure your leg bones. Raise your hips slightly; your thighs should be parallel to the ground…"

"Hm?"

As Mei supported Kiana's thigh from below, she suddenly heard a faint "pop."

What was that sound?

Before she could think it through, she saw Kiana's face show a look of horror as she hurriedly pushed Mei away, her hands reaching down as if desperately searching for something...
