Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Forget it—you're a grown man. Imagine waking up to find a baby bottle in your mouth, and we're still feeding you. Your suicidal thoughts will probably turn into murderous intent to silence you... I'll probably tear you to shreds by then—"

"Hilarious, they're practically indestructible."

Wu Ni rolled her eyes. "I can't just shred your past. I can spread your dark history all over the world."

"Anyway, let's try a more serious approach, Wuni."

Jiuxiao shook the mineral water bottle, revealing a pained expression.

"Then find a saline bottle to give him an IV drip. If you think that's too slow, Lord Jiuxiao, you can take off his pants, find a veterinarian's syringe, and give him a shot in the butt—"

"I have a feeling that you always come up with some bad ideas, so let's just have an IV drip."

Jiu Xiao rolled her eyes and walked into a small clinic on the street. The clinic's owner had already fled to avoid trouble, and the girl quickly found all the equipment she needed.

"Now we just need to wait for these guys to wake up..."

After finishing off Old Man Kevin, Jiu Xiao clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction at the "corpses strewn across the field" of the heroes.

"Speaking of which, what exactly did you do...? Why did those fusion warriors suddenly disconnect like they'd been disconnected... and collapse to the ground with a thud...?"

Wu Ni curiously rubbed the faces of several fusion warriors, then looked at Penglai Temple Nine Heavens with a puzzled expression.

"This... the authority of the Apocalypse Famine, it's somewhat similar to the Herrscher of Binding's ability in a way. I drained all the Honkai energy from this region, including those few people. The ones on their bodies—and the Fusion Warriors, well, you know what I mean."

"I only refrained from attacking that catgirl named Padofelis because she pretended to be dead when things got bad... Speaking of which, why hasn't that cat come back yet...?"

.....

--

Young cat Miss Padoflis is now facing some troubles in her life.

"Let me touch it—!!!"

"...Brownie too."

As you can see, the adorable cat was surrounded by four villains who were groping its tail and ears. Even its own cat food couldn't escape their clutches...

"Hahaha, it tickles so much... Haha... Um, I was saying, aren't you guys about to leave? If you keep tickling him like this, Boss Jiuxiao is getting impatient—"

As Pado finished speaking, the people petting the cat stopped what they were doing.

"Kitty, is it okay if I ask a question first?"

Brownie looked at the cat with a strange expression.

"Sure, what questions do you want to ask?"

"So... what did Jiuxiao do??? Why did you suddenly find us?"

"Wait a minute, did that purple-haired, big-breasted monster mess up, and then the Fire Moth sent you, a cat, to lure all her companions home?!"

With her vivid imagination, Seele immediately put on an alert expression—I never expected you to be this kind of cat!

"Um... yes, some people have indeed had accidents... but the group that's had the accidents is a bit off..."

"?"

"The ones who messed up were the heroes of the Fire Moth... Ah, this is the first time I've seen someone so ruthless as to beat up Boss Kevin, Sister Ellie, and Brother Jie all at once... Luckily, Boss Nine Heavens didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us, he just knocked them out..."

"I was chased here by Boss Jiuxiao to meet you in front of the Fire Moth building. If I don't bring you back, I'll be beaten to a pulp—ladies, please have mercy and save the cat!"

"Ah, this..."

Chapter 268 Calling the head of the family is a tradition that must be tried.

"In conclusion—when violence can solve a problem, and the law cannot punish you..."

"Then let's fucking blast all the problems to smithereens—!"

Jiuxiao looked at Bronya and the others below, who were cowering in fear, with a look of utter disappointment and frustration.

"What kind of crazy person is this...?"

Brownie and Seele rolled their eyes on the spot.

"Damn it, how did the Valkyrie of Destiny become like this—"

"??? If all the Valkyries of Schicksal were as outrageous as Sister Jiuxiao, even the Herrscher of the End would have to kowtow to us!"

"Tch, it's just that you guys are too bad—"

Purple-haired War Goddess and her four little pendants.jpg

"Is it our fault that the vegetables are bad? Besides, Sister Jiuxiao, is that even a human being can achieve that level???"

"You wouldn't happen to be like that pink fairy lady, some kind of Herrscher lurking among humans, keeping a diary of human observations, would you? And not just any Herrscher, but the lowest-ranking Herrscher of the End—"

"Hilarious! I'll just break off her wings and let you guys play with them!"

After a moment's thought, Jiu Xiao realized that the end of this universe wasn't someone he knew—so what if he wanted to?

"Hey, uncle, you're awake! Here's half a bottle of mineral water, would you like a sip?"

While the group was chatting, Mr. Kevin, who had been lying there like a corpse, gradually regained consciousness. He subconsciously took the bottle, said thank you, and poured it into his mouth.

"Wow, you chugged it all in one go..."

Kevin subconsciously gulped down all of the liquefied Honkai energy, a lethal dose even for ordinary people... no, for Valkyries.

"Um--?!"

Then, the patriarch, still groggy, realized something was amiss...

Why does this bottled water taste the same as Red Bull?

Just as Kevin was about to stand up after successfully renewing his subscription, a microphone was shoved into his mouth—

"Ahem, Mr. Kevin Kaslana, this is a frontline reporter from Honkai Impact 3rd. We'd like to interview you about your opinion on the taste of that bottle of mineral water you just drank?"

With ill intentions, Jiu Xiao approached Mr. Kevin with a microphone and recorder.

"Some are sweet."

Without giving much thought to what exactly the Collapsed TV Station was, Kevin gave his assessment without hesitation.

Are you sure? It's just a little sweet?

The microphone moved a few more inches closer, as if it really intended to shove it into Kevin's mouth.

"Hmm...it's a little sweet, and it's also quite refreshing...so what brand of water is this?"

Mr. Kevin, who was completely baffled as to what he had just drunk, had a new question.

"This... of course it's mineral water with a cute girl flavor—"

Jiuxiao turned his head away and whistled happily—

[Pass this on: Kevin says girls' saliva is sweet! And it makes him feel energized—]

"Girly-scented mineral water...?"

As Kevin gradually regained consciousness, he raised the mineral water bottle in his hand and looked closely. The remaining high concentration of Honkai energy was now loudly proclaiming its presence in the bottle.

“…”

"My grandson-in-law—"

Old man Kevin looked at Lord Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple with a forced smile—

"Hi, what brings you here, Grandfather-in-law?"

Completely unafraid, Jiu Xiao chose to confront Kevin Kaslana's cat-like face head-on, even wanting to add fuel to the fire...

"Tell me honestly what this mineral water is—do you think I'm not very educated after graduating from high school? Who can put liquid liquefaction in a mineral water bottle—?!"

...

"Hehe, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you—"

"This is, of course, literally, mineral water with a girly flavor—"

With a sly smile, Jiu Xiao watched Kevin's expression go from bewilderment to contortion, and finally his cheeks turned a deep purplish-red.

"How does it feel to be spitting out the saliva of a beautiful Herrscher girl, Kevin the old geezer! How does it feel—Ouch! Don't hit someone in the face!!!"

.....

The atmosphere was filled with awkwardness, but also a hint of merriment—Jiu Xiao, the number one scoundrel and the culprit, rubbed the bump on his head and secretly chuckled to himself as he watched the two awkwardly standing there.

Kevin and Wuni, the parties involved, stared at each other awkwardly...

Question: I drank the juice from the pretty Herrscher's sister (to prevent being pinched), and openly admitted it was sweet and refreshing, all in public. What should I do? I need an answer urgently!

My mom's great-grandmother gave me a kiss, which was practically a French kiss. What should I, as a good kid, do? I need an answer urgently.

"So, because Grandpa Kevin fought with Jiuxiao, Jiuxiao drained all his Honkai energy. Then, in order to wake Kevin up as soon as possible, Jiuxiao squeezed a bunch of Honkai energy out of you, Miss Wuni... or rather, Herrscher saliva?"

With both parties looking at each other with pleading expressions, Bronya recounted the situation—

"So... wouldn't you consider this an indirect kiss?"

Da Xi'er's face was filled with the thought that this melon was incredibly sweet.

"It's more than just an indirect kiss... Brownie thinks it's already a step into the stomach, literally a step into the stomach."

Brownie, never one to shy away from trouble, immediately started fanning the flames.

"That really goes straight to the stomach..."

After thinking for a moment, Seele nodded in approval.

.....

"That's enough!!!"

Wu Ni had never suffered such humiliation before—she was always the one who benefited from others' misfortunes and stirred up trouble for others, but now someone was stirring up trouble for her and benefiting from her misfortunes.

This is nothing, it's karma!

With her long silver hair and small red eyes, Wuni glared at everyone in front of her, growing angrier the more she thought about it, until she burst into tears.

The girl angrily tore open a golden slit on the spot...

"mom--"
