Collapse Iron: Today's mount is the female protagonist.

"Mei didn't come along, did she?"

"Don't worry, I didn't catch up with you."

After confirming that no one was around, she spoke with Qi Shi, and then let out a long, worried sigh. It was rare to see such an expression on the optimistic and carefree Qi Maomao.

Why? It's clearly two good things. It's the first time that family members have joined her, and Mei is very willing to accept it. They get along well, and she now has two of her closest people by her side: Qi Shi and Mei.

But why did it turn out like this?

She's almost afraid to talk to Mei now, and usually avoids her most of the time.

After what happened that day, her painful life began. She had only agreed to let Qi Shi help with her training, but it was as if a switch had been flipped. They treated each other like family, with no boundaries. Mei would often find various reasons to take away the time that Qi Shi spent with her.

"There's nothing I can do, you promised to help," Qi Shi said, shrugging.

"Woo~" Qi Maomao looked as if she had been hit hard again, and hung her head dejectedly.

She deeply regretted letting slip the existence of Qi Shi and regretted agreeing to Mei's request out of kindness.

She had no choice but to agree at the time due to the urgency of the situation, but now that she thinks about it, even if she wanted to help, there were other ways she could have done so. For example, she could have helped Mei with her training, or she could have made up an excuse that Qi Shi was very busy and therefore needed to determine how long she would help.

Why did she agree so readily without even thinking about it?

Forget it, I don't want to think about that anymore.

The cheerful little bug quickly shook off these worries and regained its energetic and adorable appearance.

It's still early today, let's go shopping first!

And there's more good news: compared to before when he was always busy, Qi Shi seems to have finished his work recently and has had a lot more time to spend with her.

Kiana said excitedly.

"Let's go to a nearby city for a while, Qi Shi. I heard that a new ice cream shop opened on the commercial street and it's very popular."

Chapter 80 New World!

Kiana's room door opened.

However, it wasn't Mei who arrived, but a petite silver-gray-haired girl with two very eye-catching turbocharged twin tails.

It was Bronya.

"I never expected that Bronya would be the one to launch the night attack tonight."

In the dimly lit room, Kiana was not asleep. To be precise, the cat-like Kiana, who had been playing all day, was already fast asleep, and her body was being controlled by another person.

Qi Shi did not leave tonight, but was as free as usual. When he saw the visitor, he started to tease him.

"Bronya didn't come for a night raid."

Bronya denied it, her delicate face remaining unchanged and expressionless.

As she spoke, her silver-gray eyes scanned Qi Shi from head to toe.

Although she still looks familiar, the difference is quite obvious. Her hair has become a simple and elegant high ponytail, and her temperament is also completely different, mature and composed.

This is clearly not Kiana, but the person who appeared earlier.

However, Bronya did not show any surprise when she saw Qi Shi.

On the one hand, the damage to the experiment made her emotionally despondent, and on the other hand, she already knew the result.

She has noticed all the changes in the dormitory recently.

From Mei's strange behavior to Kiana's lack of appetite, the intelligent Bronya couldn't possibly miss anything about their unusual actions lately.

Observing the changes in the atmosphere in the dormitory and analyzing the unusual behaviors of the two, it seemed as if they cared about someone.

She's never been good at expressing herself, so not saying anything doesn't mean she doesn't know.

She knew there was likely someone else in the dormitory, but she hadn't seen them with her own eyes, and Kiana was probably different from what she had guessed.

I also know that Mei has been bullying Kiana under various pretexts in order to compete for her affections.

Every time she sees this scene, she can't help but think that emotions are truly a complex thing.

Then, I added another thought to myself: Seele would never do that.

When she had doubts, Bronya did not ask any questions.

Instead, she waited until some time had passed and she was completely certain of her suspicions before she came to find them.

It wasn't by chance that she only came today; she knew Kiana wasn't asleep yet. If it were the idiot Kiana herself, she would have been asleep long ago at this time.

Bronya never relies on luck, only on her strength.

"You are not a huge organization hiding behind the scenes."

Bronya began to speak, her voice flat and monotone as if she were stating something.

"I never said that," Qi Shi said, shrugging.

"What, are you trying to verify the truthfulness of what I said earlier?"

“No.” Bronya gently shook her head, looked at him with her delicate face, and then spoke seriously.

Bronya is here to express her gratitude.

"Back in Changkong City, you should have known Bronya's identity all along, but you didn't expose her."

Her mind was sharp and clear. If the other party was not some hidden mastermind, but a close companion who had always been with Kiana, then many things would not be difficult to see.

Given the abilities she demonstrated, she would never have resorted to such a rudimentary method as leaving by going to the station, nor would she have been able to conceal her past identity to enter the Raiden family, and she certainly wouldn't have been so easily deceived.

The only answer is that the other party did it on purpose, guiding her to integrate into the Raiden family and get along with the two of them, so that she would join St. Freya.

"I don't know why you're so nice to Bronya."

"But thank you for helping Bronya find something important."

Bronya said softly, her voice trembling.

At first, she may have stayed mainly because of Seele, but as she spent more time with Kiana and Mei, she became more and more integrated into the warm life there, a home that felt just like the orphanage back then.

Now she understands how important that encounter was to her.

"I'm just doing something I enjoy. I'm simply someone who likes beautiful things." Upon hearing this, Qi Shi's face showed a casual expression, followed by a smile.

"But I'm still quite happy to receive your thanks."

When you come into this world, the people you know and interact with are real, and those regrets you've already witnessed are naturally impossible to ignore.

Perhaps some things are already too late at the time he arrives, but at least there are many things that will happen later that can be changed. Oh, I can travel through time, then it's alright.

Since he has the ability, he should follow his heart and do what he wants to do; otherwise, wouldn't his trip have been in vain?

Let's give this world a little ghostly shock.

Bronya tilted her head. Although she couldn't quite understand the emotions in Qi Shi's words, she knew clearly what he had done for her.

Bronya didn't quite understand, but thank you anyway.

It not only gave her a home, but also gave her hope of finding Seele.

Bronya chatted for a while longer, whether she wanted to ask some questions or simply wanted to learn more about this 'new' family that had always been there but whom she had never known before.

She didn't ask about how to save Seele during the trip; it seemed she was just there to express her gratitude and get to know her.

It was already late at night when I finished talking to Bronya.

Qi Shi looked up at the moon outside the window and stroked his chin.

Nothing much seems to happen today.

Let's play one more round!

After letting Kiana's body settle into a peaceful sleep, Qi Shi left the room, then opened a cosmic-colored door and entered this passage connecting the universe.

The familiar feeling of traversing through time is like being in a safe passageway, with countless worlds rushing past you. That special sense of detachment stretches out the concept of time.

After some time, sunlight finally appeared before Qi Shi's eyes, and he arrived at his destination.

"Where have we traveled to this time?"

Unnoticed by others, a cosmicly brilliant flame burns in the sky.

Qi Shi looked around at the scene. The surrounding buildings were very peculiar, with a traditional and antique feel mixed with a lot of science fiction. They were vast and beautiful, with a clear blue sky and ship-shaped aircraft flying through the air in an orderly and fast manner.

The bustling streets were filled with pedestrians, some with conspicuous fox ears on their heads, while vendors on the roadside called out their distinctive calls.

"Bird skewers~ Such red and sweet kebab skewers~"

Above them was a colossal stargate, through which countless spaceships of different sizes passed.

With a single glance, Qi Shi immediately knew where he was.

Chapter 81 General! I'm here to help you!

The colossal stargate and the cyberpunk spaceship have already revealed where this place is.

Fairy Boat, this is a wonderful place!

With an average lifespan of seven or eight hundred years, the life experience of a single person in Xianzhou is longer than that of many countries. Regardless of which industry they join, such a long lifespan will allow them to accumulate abilities and knowledge to an astonishing degree.

These are like blind boxes waiting to be opened, gold is everywhere.

What an auspicious place! What an auspicious place!

Qi Shi marveled at the gift from heaven, his expression as if he were witnessing a lavish buffet. A flame, invisible to ordinary people, streaked across the sky. At this moment, the people of the Immortal Ship were completely unaware that their 'natural disaster' was about to arrive.

Shence Mansion, the place that governs the Immortal Ships, is named after the title of Shence General.

Jing Yuan was sitting in a chair, lazily flipping through the files. His white hair was loose, his face was handsome, and his demeanor was lazy and casual. You would never guess that he was an old general who was eight hundred years old and commanded the entire Immortal Ship with great prestige. Only the heroic armor on his body revealed his identity.

"Sigh, just some more trivial matters. If only Luofu could stay like this forever."

Supporting himself on his arms, Jing Yuan put down the jade slip in his hand, appearing completely relaxed.

That’s true.

As a general, he was over eight hundred years old, which was considered advanced age even in the Immortal Ship. Now, he only thought about the peace of the Immortal Ship, cultivating a suitable successor, and dealing with important matters such as the secret teachings of the Medicine King and the Vidyadhara Clan, so as not to cause trouble for the next leader of the Immortal Ship.

"It's so nice that the fairy boat is still so calm and peaceful."
