Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"I can't." Seeing Bianca start to eat, Kaino pursed his lips and shook his head to decline Kiana's invitation.

The three key words, brother, sister, and ice cream, put together made him think of a video he had seen on his phone a while ago, causing a certain resistance to arise in his heart.

"Eh? Okay, forget it then." Kiana took back the ice cream, took a lick and tilted her head.

"By the way, what's our next plan?"

"Let's go shopping."

Kaino answered Kiana's question while helping her refrozen the ice cream that was showing signs of melting. "Don't worry, there's still some time before dinner time. You can enjoy the ice cream without any worries."

"Great!"

Bianca, who was walking beside him, pondered for a few seconds, turned her head and looked at Keno, with some expectation in her eyes.

"Speaking of which, brother, is there a pet shop in St. Freya's shopping street? I'd like to see if there's any cat I like."

cat?

Hearing Bianca's suggestive words, Keno slapped his head suddenly and reached out to take out a sphere from the imaginary space.

"I almost forgot what you said. Here, this is the gift I promised you."

Chapter 258 Kono Phyllis!

Bianca hadn't reacted yet as she looked at the red and white sphere, but Kiana suddenly came over with her eyes wide open and her face full of excitement.

"Ooooh! Is this... a ball?"

"Kiana, eat your ice cream obediently and stop your dangerous and weird remarks."

Reaching out and flicking Kiana's forehead, Kayno raised the Bengbeng Ball in front of Bianca and spun it twice, his finger on the button of the Bengbeng Ball.

"It's called the Beng Beng Ball. Bianca, the gift I carefully prepared for you is inside."

Under the expectant gazes of Kiana and Bianca, Kaino pressed a button. A faint golden light flashed. As the Bengbeng Ball opened a crack, a brown-haired kitten, identical to a canned item except for its slimmer figure, appeared out of thin air in Kaino's arms.

The sudden change in the environment made the human-like kitten dazed for a moment. She looked around and saw that the person holding her was Kayno. Her hair suddenly stood up and she bent her four legs and jumped towards Bianca's words.

Bianca instinctively caught the cat and held it in her arms to comfort the trembling cat.

"Its name is Phyllis, the Emperor-level Honkai Beast cat I promised to give you." Kaino explained with a smile, "To be honest, it's only thanks to my trip to the Paradise that I had, otherwise it would have been a real question whether it could have been born successfully."

The Honkai Beast itself does not have the ability to shrink its body. If it were not for the help of a high-dimensional perspective, Keno really could not guarantee that this cat could be born safely.

Bianca listened and comforted Phyllis, wondering, "But why is she so afraid of you? Brother, you didn't do anything, did you?"

"This one……"

Kaino scratched the side of his face with his fingers, looking embarrassed and a little ashamed.

Although he had initially chosen the character's image as a slim canned object with the name Phyllis, Kayno changed it several times due to dissatisfaction, ultimately returning to the original design after deciding it was best. But forcing a body shape change was a painful experience for Lu Lu's wife, 28 Fang...

"Ahem, anyway, it's because of various reasons!" Kainuo cleared his throat to cover up the matter. "So, Bianca, do you still like it?"

"Yeah!" Bianca nodded vigorously with shining eyes.

"Phyllis's fur is shiny and smooth, and feels wonderful to the touch. And because of her Honkai Beast physique, I don't need to use too much force when rubbing her belly, which is a very good experience for me."

"And what surprised me most was that you actually gave her a relatively normal name, brother."

Bianca, who had a better understanding of Kayno due to her experience in the Stigmata Space, teased.

Kainuo stuffed the Bengbeng Ball back into the imaginary space and waved his hand with a nonchalant expression.

"It was all thanks to a friend who made a huge sacrifice for her. But since you like it, that's fine. It saves me from having to euthanize Phyllis."

Phyllis shrank her head in shock, meowing as she struggled to get into Bianca's arms. She raised her head and stared at her future owner with tearful eyes.

This very human and cute behavior naturally attracted attention. Bianca rubbed her head affectionately and complained to Kaino slightly: "Brother, don't scare Phyllis anymore."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Kaino smiled and nodded. But at this moment, he suddenly felt Kiana poking his side.

At this time, Kiana had finished eating an ice cream cone. She met the eyes of Kayno who turned his head and smiled.

"Hey, bro~" Kiana's eyes flashed with a cunning light, "Do you have any extra Bengbeng Balls from that one?"

She has no interest in cats, but is very interested in the BengBeng ball.

"Hey, Kiana, why do you want that?" Bianca, who was petting the cat, looked puzzled. "That thing should be essentially the same as a portable space device, right? Don't you have one on your wrist?"

"How can they be the same!" Kiana flatly denied, "That's faith!"

"There is nothing. Even if there is, I won't give it to you. Just give up on this idea." Kainuo pushed Kiana's head away and refused decisively.

Without Bengbengqiu, the opponent would always skip classes. Now that he has it, he has to hide in a corner every day and play Bengbengqiu to slack off, right?

He wasn't worried about other people, but there was a real possibility for Kiana, and it wasn't small.

Kiana pouted in disappointment, pulled back, and muttered, "Tsk, how stingy."

"Let's talk about this after you finish the ice cream cone I bought you."

Kaino retorted, then pulled out a crystal similar to the Herrscher's core from his pocket and handed it to Bianca.

Bianca's face turned pale with confusion.

"Brother, what is this?"

"I promised Otto to make something. When you return from your vacation in two days, remember to give it to Otto. I won't go there anymore." Having said this, Kaynor paused.

"By the way, Bianca, you entered the Quantum Ocean this time to try to hang the world bubble inside your body back on the tree, right?"

Bianca nodded, a little confused, "Is that so? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. Anyway, Bianca, you should be more serious when the time comes. Tell me the whole process in detail when you come back?"

"I'm not sure what you want these for, brother... but no problem, I'll go through them in detail when the time comes."

Kaino smiled.

Although the world bubble in his body and Bianca's world bubble encountered different situations and faced different problems, Bianca's idea of ​​hanging back on the world bubble could help him to some extent.

————

After a morning of raiding the food stalls in the shopping street, the Kaslana trio's raid on the buffet restaurant at noon, and a whole afternoon of uninterested Kayno and Bianca following the enthusiastic Kiana to the mall to buy clothes, Kiana, who was covered in bags of clothes, waved to Kayno and Bianca with a smile on her face.

"Well, goodbye, brother and sister. I'm going back to eat the meal Mei made!"

Although they lived in St. Freya together, Kaynor lived in Theresa's villa, Kiana lived in Jizi's villa, and Bianca lived in the guest room of St. Freya reserved for distinguished guests, so it was naturally impossible for them to be on the same route.

It was true that Theresa was not at home, but one empty room could not accommodate both Bianca and Rita - Kaino could not sneak into Xier's room openly.

"I advise you not to wave, or the clothes you bought might fall down." Even as he said this, Kainuo also waved while holding up his bag. "Have a nice trip."

"Goodbye." Bianca was even more straightforward.

Kiana grinned, turned around and strode away.

Watching Kiana's back disappear from their sight, Kaino and Bianca looked at each other tacitly. The former opened the imaginary space and threw the clothing bag in, while the latter controlled the portable device to put away the clothes.

The burden on their bodies completely disappeared, and they both exhaled together, then smiled at each other.

The shopping process was a complete torture for the two of them. If they hadn't been carrying bags all over their bodies just to get by, they would probably have to help Kiana carry her clothes... It was scary to think about it.

"Phew, anyway, goodbye, brother." Bianca let out a long sigh, put away her smile, and said goodbye to Kayno. "I have to help Rita buy some food later, so I won't be going with you."

"Ah." Kainuo nodded. "Goodbye then... Although I have to go to the ice cream shop to pick up Bella who is working and Xier who is accompanying Bella."

Chapter 259 My aunt is not at home tonight!

"Master, is today's meal not tasty enough? Or do you have no appetite today?"

Keno, who was staring at the food on the table and biting his fork, came to his senses and quickly shook his head at Bella opposite him.

"No, Bella, your cooking skills have improved again, and Kaslana's appetite can't be bad either. I was just thinking about something so I didn't move."

"Thinking about something? You?"

Xier, who was standing beside Kainuo, raised her eyebrows and looked at Kainuo with a hint of suspicion.

"I understand you're particularly happy. After all, your family finally reunited not long ago after sharing your identities with each other. That's why I didn't go with you three when you went out to play today... But now that you're all back, you can't still be obsessed with it, right?!"

Although there is nothing wrong with missing family, a normal person would not miss family members whom they can see at any time 24 hours a day, right?

"Of course not, what are you thinking?"

Kaino sighed, put the fork back into his mouth and started to pick it up.

"I'm thinking about the Houkai. If Otto's speculation and the information from the previous civilization are correct, then the Herrscher who will appear next will be a very disgusting Herrscher."

"Very...disgusting?" Xier frowned when she noticed Kayno's choice of words.

"Yes." Kayno nodded.

A ruler who specializes in the control of human hearts.

According to records from the previous civilization in the Void Treasures, there are a total of one thousand Rulers, who will randomly select those with flaws in their hearts to become members of the Ruler army and secretly undermine the relationship with the human side. Kayno is not afraid of a direct confrontation, but if the opponent really hides all the time, then Kayno really has no way to deal with it.

Now that Otto is about to abdicate, Theresa will soon be crowned the new Archbishop of Heaven's Mandate. The world's largest anti-Honkai organization is about to undergo a major shift unseen in five hundred years, and there's a high possibility that the Honkai consciousness will seize the opportunity to cause trouble.

Especially since, according to Otto, he also planned to take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire to ensure that the Honkai consciousness would take action.

"In short, don't trust invitations from people you don't know easily these days—and don't be too naive about invitations from people you know. Any of them could be a Herrscher in disguise, trying to deceive you. Even with Yu Duchen, you might not be able to detect them without careful inspection."

At this point, Kainuo turned his head to look at Xier and reminded her emphatically, "Especially you, Xier."

"Huh?" Xier's eyes widened, and she was about to get angry. "Hey, why do you have to single me out for this? I don't know many people."

"You might as well remind Bella specifically that she often works at the soda fountain. She might be kidnapped at any moment."

"will not."

Bella swallowed the food in her mouth and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"The master will not be controlled by the Ruler, and I can identify the master."

"Of course he's easy to recognize. He's the only young white-haired guy in the whole school... sometimes he's golden-haired." Although she admitted Bella's words, Xier was still a little unconvinced, "But what about the others?"

"And Bella won't trust others easily. It wouldn't even be a problem if you just remove the word 'easy'." Kainuo said expressionlessly.

Though currently in human form, Bella's true form was the Honkai Beast Benares. Aside from Keno, who tamed her through a combination of chance encounters and the unique properties of that bubble, even Seele and Theresa Bella, who had shared the same roof for over a year, would harbor a certain level of caution, not to mention the rest of Saint Freya.

In contrast, if Lan Xier or Bronya were controlled by the Herrscher and came over to deceive Xier, she might not be able to realize it.

"Tsk, okay, I get it." Xier nodded unhappily after understanding what Kainuo meant, and took a spoonful of the soup in the bowl.

"But Kaino, you should be able to identify who the Ruler is, right?"

"of course."

Kainuo nodded. Putting aside other methods, he could easily tell whether the other party was a Herrscher or not with just a glance using his high-dimensional perspective.

Even if the human population wasn't so large, he could have directly wiped out the Ruler of Rule.

"I won't leave Saint Freya until the Rulers begin their large-scale operations and my aunt's coronation ceremony officially begins. It's best for you and Bella to stay with me."

"Humph, that's what you said." Xier crossed her arms and raised her head proudly towards Kainuo. "When the time comes, I will follow you everywhere. Don't regret it."

"I can stop working for a while." Bella continued.

"That's fine."

Kaino smiled and took a sip of soup. He glanced at Theresa's room and touched his chin thoughtfully.

Come to think of it, my aunt is still staying at Tianming to accompany Otto tonight...

After finishing his dinner in a few bites, Kainuo supported his face with one hand and poked Xier with anticipation in his eyes.
