[Kiana: (Mei and Bronya.jpg) Look, these are the two]
Kiana secretly took a photo of the two people not far behind her and sent it to the group chat.
[Wangshang Funeral Parlor Workhorse: Eh? It's the feeling of a heartbeat! @Kiana, introduce that purple-haired young lady to me, and I'll treat you to Xinyue Kiosk when you come to Liyue in the future!]
[Gojo Kiana: @Wangshang Funeral Parlor Workhorse, your focus is too weird! You're not looking at a planet-sized high-tech ship, but looking at a young lady?!]
[Gojo Kiana: @Kiana, ugh, I want to swap places with you once, but unfortunately I don't have enough points!]
[Kiana: @Wangshang Funeral Parlor Workhorse, don't even think about it! Mei is mine!]
[Wangshang Funeral Parlor Workhorse: We're so close, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine, you're being too formal]
[Kiana: You... you just wait for This Young Miss, sooner or later I'll make you realize who's boss! Just wait to practice your chantless Water Magic!]
Kiana closed the chat group directly, no longer talking to this guy who wanted to steal her Mei.
She turned around and walked quickly to Mei's side, hugging one of her arms and intimately resting her head on the other's shoulder.
"Mei~"
Kiana said in a cloying voice.
She wouldn't give her Mei to anyone!
"Eh!? Kiana, what's wrong...? Suddenly acting like this..."
Mei's cheeks were stained with a touch of peach, and she said somewhat shyly.
"It's nothing, the Xianzhou is so big, let's find a place to rest."
Saying so, Kiana held Mei's arm and walked forward quickly.
"Kiana, your body hasn't recovered yet, slow down..."
"I've been mostly fine since I woke up this morning~ Bronya! If you don't hurry up, I'll leave you behind~!"
After the two had walked a distance, Kiana waved her other hand at Bronya behind them and shouted.
Bronya was slightly stunned, a trace of a ripple appearing in her eyes, but she soon returned to her usual appearance.
She ordered Project Bunny to pick her up and quickly fly towards the two.
Kiana's goal was the General's residence of this Xianzhou, the Taiyin Mansion.
When she teleported, she specifically chose a location closer to the Taiyin Mansion.
Because... the Xianzhou might have already been noticed.
Without surprise, the Xianzhou Alliance should have already sent people over.
And there were no telling how many guys hidden in the shadows, eyeing this place greedily.
She, Kiana, was not a dummy who wouldn't use her brain!
Otherwise, how could she have wandered alone for so long... On a certain desolate planet nearby, several creatures of different races gathered together.
"Liza, isn't your tribe preparing for a civil war with the Shepa Pack? To think they'd send you here at such a critical moment..."
A creature resembling a centaur, wearing biological exoskeleton armor, walked with its four hooves to a tall werewolf with fierce eyes and said with surprise.
The Borisin called Liza turned his head and looked down at the centaur sent by the Houyhnhnm race.
The Houyhnhnms, like the Borisin, were one of the many Followers of Abundance.
"Hmph, the internal affairs of the pack are not for a Houyhnhnm donkey-cub to meddle in!"
Liza's wolf head leaned close to the centaur, baring his cold, glinting fangs, exhaling a cold breath onto the other's face. The eye area of his bronze mask shot out daunting red light, his tone very unfriendly.
"Hehehe~ Red Hoof, he is one of the candidates for the new Warhead of the Borisin. It's normal for him to look down on us Legion Commanders of foreign Followers of Abundance~"
(Red Hoof is just a name I thought of randomly)
Nearby, a woman with arms like bird wings and feet like eagle claws curled her lips into a beautiful arc.
"No matter, Legion Commander Yan Luo. This time, so many of us Followers of Abundance have gathered, and it's not for internal strife. We all have a common goal, don't we?"
Blood Hoof didn't care about Liza's attitude at all. He took a few steps back with his four legs covered in flame-like fur and shrugged.
This gathering was because the spies of the Followers of Abundance in the Xianzhou reported news of a brand-new Xianzhou that seemed to be expanding its power, as well as news of a suspected Living Planet.
If used properly, it might cause the Xianzhou to suffer heavy losses, or even destroy one of the Xianzhou ships.
For the Followers of Abundance, who had been enemies with them since ancient times, this was undoubtedly an opportunity to weaken their opponent.
So this time, the currently most powerful Borisin, Wingweavers, and Houyhnhnms each sent a legion as the main force.
In addition, some ambitious, smaller-scale, and some newborn Followers of Abundance served as support for the blitzkrieg against that unknown Xianzhou.
If the news was accurate and the Living Planet news was true, then they would take down the Luofu, which was currently on its way, as well.
"Hmph, bird-person, donkey-cub, if you don't want to be torn apart and eaten by the pack, then honestly follow my orders in this battle."
Seeing that his intimidation hadn't had much effect, Liza snorted coldly, gave a threatening remark, and then led several Borisin subordinates back to the Beast-ship hidden nearby.
Blood Hoof and Yan Luo didn't feel much, but other weaker tribes had already begun to feel fear, not daring to go against the Borisin from the bottom of their hearts.
Blood Hoof and Yan Luo exchanged a glance and then looked at the starry sky.
At this moment, their starships were all lying in wait near that Xianzhou, and some of the Followers of Abundance had gone to various desolate stars to look for traces of the Living Planet.
If the news was fake, then they would have to retreat, but before retreating, they would certainly disgust the Xianzhou Alliance properly.
For example, letting those newborn Follower cannon fodder do some small tricks... "Mei, Bronya, I didn't lie to you, right? This whole Xianzhou belongs to This Young Miss!"
Kiana crossed her arms, her head tilted back smugly.
In particular, her peripheral vision kept scanning Bronya's face, only wanting to see Bronya's shocked expression.
But because Bronya's emotional center was damaged, Kiana's hope was destined to be in vain.
"Um... Sorry Kiana, I thought before that you really..."
Had a problem with your head... Of course, Mei didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"Bronya feels that the future of this Xianzhou is bleak, after all, the owner is Idiot Kiana."
"Hmph hmph~ Little Dot, you must be envious and jealous of me~"
Kiana wasn't bothered by Bronya's words at all, only thinking that Bronya was being stubborn.
Suddenly, a rhythmic ringing sound echoed within the Taiyin Mansion.
Kiana tilted her head left and right, finally locking her gaze on the imperial desk at the main seat.
"This thing... is a jade sign, right?"
Walking to the imperial desk, Kiana picked up a jade ornament carved with electronic patterns and said with some uncertainty.
This thing looked just like the jade ornaments ancient people hung at their waists.
"The sound is coming from here?"
Mei asked curiously.
"Bronya has detected weak signal frequency fluctuations; this should be something like a communicator."
"Yeah, if it's a jade sign, it does indeed have a communication function."
Kiana toyed with it in her hands repeatedly, her index finger accidentally touching a smooth little indentation on the back.
Buzz~
The jade sign emitted a trace of warm light, and then a holographic projection suddenly appeared in front of the three, giving them a start.
