My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Mei's expression was as complicated as her feelings. She already had the power to stand by Luo Chen's side, but now he was leaving her again, which Mei could not accept at all.

"Luo Chen, are you being coerced by the World Serpent? If so, blink."

Kiana looked at Luo Chen uncertainly. She always believed that Luo Chen had not joined World Serpent voluntarily, and there must be some reason for it.

"Kiana, can you please stop being so naive?"

Luo Chen glanced at Kiana, deliberately lowering his voice, and put away the Jizo Soul, saying condescendingly, "I joined World Serpent simply because I wanted to, nothing more."

As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, half of Susanoo appeared in the air. Susanoo held a longbow in his hand, drew the bow and aimed an arrow at the rooftop, and began to accumulate Honkai energy.

Kiana watched the arrow grow brighter and brighter. If Luo Chen were to fire it, they would surely be defeated. Now they had to find a way to stop him.

With this in mind, Kiana unleashed her full Honkai energy, her right eye turning from blue to orange, manipulating her power to generate countless spatial gates around Susanoo.

The Void Spear emerged from the portal and, under Kiana's control, repeatedly stabbed at Susanoo. Mei coordinated by unleashing lightning strikes at Susanoo in an attempt to build up its power.

The two of them shattered Susanoo's armor, revealing his skeleton. Mei seized the opportunity and unleashed another lightning strike, successfully destroying the longbow.

"Luo Chen, you're out of options now!"

Seeing that Luo Chen's strongest move had been neutralized by them, Kiana was about to press her advantage when Luo Chen suddenly covered half of his face and laughed.

"You don't think I have no backup plan, do you?"

Luo Chen entered the man-made collapse, his primary target being Bella, who was circling in the sky. He teleported to the middle of Bella's body and slammed his fist, which was carrying Honkai energy, into her wings. Flames mixed with lightning relentlessly bombarded Bella's wings, blasting most of them apart. The entire dragon could only fall down and into the water.

After everything was over, Luo Chen teleported in front of Kiana and kicked her away. Just as she was about to hit the wall, he flashed behind her and caught her.

Luo Chen grabbed Kiana by the neck, and the neurotoxin spread along his hand to Kiana's whole body, numbing her nerves and knocking her unconscious.

Luo Chen gently placed Kiana aside, stood up and faced Mei, and Jizo Mitama reappeared in his hand.

"Mei, give up, you can't stop me."

Mei remained silent, assuming the starting stance of the Hokushin Ittō-ryū style with the Key of Heavenly Punishment in hand. Luo Chen understood, holding the swords with both hands, the long swords held horizontally in front of his face, his entire body in a backward lunge position.

'By the way, does my intentional collapse count as demonization?'

With that thought in mind, Luo Chen rushed out. The two tacitly refrained from using Honkai energy, relying solely on their physical abilities and swordsmanship to fight. Although Luo Chen's swordsmanship was not as proficient as Mei's, his physical strength was far superior to Mei's. After a few rounds of fighting, Luo Chen forcefully broke through Mei's defenses with a heavy slash, while simultaneously slashing her body with a blade infused with neurotoxin.

Mei stepped back, the neurotoxin spreading to her limbs, and she collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut. But she forced herself to get up by willpower and knelt on the ground with the Key of Heavenly Punishment by her side.

Mei felt dizzy, probably because the amount of neurotoxin wasn't enough, but she didn't seem to be about to faint. Luo Chen put away the Jizo Mitama, stood there looking at Mei, and said forlornly, "I'm sorry."

“No, don’t go…”

Mei struggled to her feet, watched Luo Chen fly into the sky, took a step forward with her legs, and then collapsed to the ground, only able to watch Luo Chen disappear from her sight.

"Luo Chen, you bastard!"

Mei clenched her fist and used all her strength to stand up again, wanting to chase after Luo Chen, but she couldn't. She could only kneel on the ground and weakly pound the floor.

"Are you giving up now?"

A cold voice rang out. Mei looked up and found a strange man standing in front of her, his deep blue eyes devoid of any emotion.

"who are you?"

Mei forced herself to get up, but Kevin said, "You don't need to be so wary of me. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't be talking to you."

"who are you?"

"Kevin, Lord of the World Serpent."

Upon hearing the words "World Serpent," Mei was instantly enraged. It was World Serpent who had kidnapped Luo Chen, and she wished she could stab Kevin in the back.

"I know you hate me, but you can't beat me."

Kevin casually manipulated Honkai energy, and the powerful pressure made Mei breathless. The wariness in Mei's eyes turned into fear. Judging from the intensity of the Honkai energy, Kevin's strength was even greater than Luo Chen's.

"What do you want from me? Luo Chen has already left."

Mei said this through gritted teeth, deeply blaming herself for her weakness. Why wasn't she stronger? Then she could have brought Luo Chen back.

"Raiden Mei, join World Serpent, and I can give you the power you desire."

Kevin's words startled Mei. She was about to refuse when Kevin said, "You probably want to refuse, but you can listen to my terms first."

Seeing Mei remain silent, Kevin continued, "The World Serpent can teach you how to control your power. It will also create equipment tailored to your needs and fulfill any request you make, as long as it's not excessive."

"Most importantly, I can arrange for Luo Chen to be by your side at all times."

It can only be said that Kevin completely understood Mei's thoughts. Mei wasn't interested in the first few points, but when Kevin mentioned the last one, Mei clearly began to waver.

"Okay, I promise you."

Mei forced herself to get up despite feeling unwell. She watched Kevin nod in agreement, then turned to look at Kiana, who was sleeping peacefully to the side, and a resolute look appeared in her eyes.

"I'm joining the World Serpent; you must let me see Luo Chen."

"It's a word."

Chapter 199 My heart is bitter, but I won't say it.

When Kiana woke up again, she was in the Hyperion's medical room, and Himeko was waiting for her by her bedside.

"Kiana, you're finally awake."

"Aunt Himeko, what's wrong with me?"

Kiana stood up, feeling weak all over and her mind blank. She tried hard to recall what had happened before she fainted.

"By the way, Luo Chen! Himeko-ah... Teacher, where is Luo Chen?"

Kiana grabbed Himeko's hand, and seeing Himeko's unpleasant face, her heart skipped a beat, and her own face fell.

"Luo Chen, he..."

"That's right, Luo Chen has left."

Himeko sighed. She should have come along; that way, she probably could have kept Luo Chen there. Now, not only did she fail to keep Luo Chen, but Mei also ran off with him.

"That's it."

Kiana lowered her head sadly, then suddenly realized she couldn't see Mei, so she asked Himeko.

But it would have been better if she hadn't asked. The moment she did, Himeko's face darkened even more. She took a crumpled piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to Kiana, telling her to read it herself.

Kiana took the paper and saw the words "I'm going to find Luo Chen, don't worry" written on it. She froze.

"Himeko-sensei, Mei wouldn't be like this either..."

"It seems so. I couldn't get in touch with you for a long time, so I brought Wendy over to check on the situation. It turned out that there was only you and Bella lying on the ground on the rooftop. This piece of paper was on you."

Himeko sighed. Why were all her students like this? Couldn't they just give her some peace of mind?

“I have explained the situation here to Theresa, and she said that we can discuss anything when we return to St. Freya.”

Himeko sighed, realizing she was in for a lot of work when she got back.

Kiana couldn't accept it for a moment, curled up, clutched the blanket, and groaned alone, as if she had lost all color.

"Himeko-sensei, how much longer until we get back to the academy?"

"Less than half an hour left. Kiana, you'd better behave yourself when you get back. Theresa has been incredibly busy lately, so don't cause any more trouble."

"Well, I see."

Kiana nodded obediently, knowing without Himeko's prompting that she couldn't act the way she used to.

She felt nostalgic for the past, for the days when Luo Chen and Mei Yi were still around, especially when they first entered school, when Luo Chen wasn't like he later became, always keeping things to himself and unwilling to confide in them.

"Alright, don't worry, Luo Chen and the others will be back."

Himeko comforted Kiana, while also making a vow to herself that none of her students would be lost.

"Yes, they will come back."

At the World Serpent headquarters, Luo Chen, after several days of rest and recovery, arrived in the hall to prepare for a meeting.

Upon entering the gate, Kevin was already seated in a chair, with Jackal, Raven, and Night Owl waiting beside him.

"Where's the gray snake?"

Luo Chen was somewhat surprised. He could understand why Yu Tu wasn't coming, but why wasn't Gray Serpent, the world's number one fanatic, here? This was a bit unexpected.

"He's still on his way."

Jackal answered Luo Chen's question, observing him closely, wondering why he was called "that person" by Gray Snake.

"Really? That's strange, isn't he always the first one to arrive?"

Luo Chen shrugged, glanced at Night Owl hiding at the back, and a smile appeared on his face.

Seemingly sensing Luo Chen's gaze, Night Owl turned his eyes from the blank wall to Luo Chen, and quickly looked away after seeing Luo Chen's smile.

'This guy is interesting.'

Luo Chen didn't go over to talk to Night Owl. He didn't have a good impression of Chen Tianwu. Although in the story he was trying to save Anna, he was very unhappy that Chen Tianwu used a scheme to harm Mei Yi.

"Have all the children been settled?"

Since the gray snake hadn't arrived yet, the meeting couldn't proceed for the time being, so Luo Chen simply started chatting with Raven, whom he knew best.

"It's all settled in. In fact, I should thank you."

"No need, just look out for me on missions in the future."
