Honkai Impact 3rd: Catching the Herrscher of Sentience at the Start

Faced with such an unreasonable response, Fu Lin was speechless. He couldn't help but hold his forehead in embarrassment and said helplessly,

"...Come on, isn't it possible that while our souls are merged, our bodies are not? So it's literally impossible for you to get pregnant, okay?"

Still playing the unreasonable card, Fu Shi placed her hands on her hips and said with a pout,

"Hmph! I don't care! Whatever Kiana☆ has, I want too! Why should she have it and not me?"

With that, she even pouted her lips, looking pitiful and aggrieved.

Fu Lin, "...."

------------------------------------

Fu Shi's eyes darted around quickly, then as if thinking of something, she grinned and said,

"Hei, Fu Lin, if I make you a body, then we could… hehe, then could we maybe have a baby?!"

As she said this, Fu Shi couldn't help but reveal a look of anticipation.

Hearing this, Fu Lin immediately became alert, frowned, and cautiously asked,

"That should be possible, right?

But you wouldn't implant some kind of subconscious hypnosis into that body, would you?

Like, as soon as you give a command, I'd be forced to act on it with no way to resist?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Shi's eyes widened dramatically, as if a flood of bizarre knowledge had surged into her mind.

Her mouth gaped in astonishment, and after a while, she recovered and exclaimed,

"Wow! That's actually possible? Fu Lin! Hold on, let me think it over carefully. I'll definitely craft a flawless body for you."

Before her words even faded, Fu Shi's figure turned into a streak of light and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, in the consciousness space, Fu Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

At this moment, he was filled with deep regret, wishing he could slap himself hard, cursing internally,

"Why did I have to say so much?! Now look what's happened…"

Back in the dormitory, Fu Shi grabbed pen and paper and hastily left a note for Fu Hua, which read,

"Dear old antique, don't worry about me. I have some things to handle and will be back soon. Don't miss me.

— The Great Herrscher of Sentience??????????)?."

After finishing, Fu Shi placed the note in a conspicuous spot, making sure the old antique would see it immediately upon entering the room.

Just as she was about to leave, a crisp sound of the door opening echoed. Fu Shi's body froze instantly, stopping dead in her tracks, her eyes full of caution as she stared toward the tightly closed door and muttered under her breath,

"At this time, the old antique should be teaching in class. Why would she suddenly come back? Don't tell me… Kiana☆ came looking for me?"

However, before the door fully opened, a familiar voice came through the crack,

"Fu Shi, I have something to discuss with you. Kiana☆ told me you've imprisoned Fu Lin. I don't believe you'd do such a thing…"

Hearing this voice, Fu Shi gasped and muttered in alarm, "It really is the old antique!"

Without time to think further, Fu Shi quickly fled the scene, vanishing in a flash, leaving only the note lying alone on the desk.

Almost at the same time, Fu Hua slowly pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Her eyes scanned the empty room quickly, her brows knitting in confusion as she muttered to herself,

"There was clearly someone here just now… Where did Fu Shi go?"

As Fu Hua puzzled over the situation, her eyes suddenly caught sight of the note lying quietly on the desk.

She walked over, picked it up gently, adjusted her glasses, and began reading carefully.

As she read on, Fu Hua's expression grew increasingly serious until she finally sighed deeply in resignation.

Afterward, Fu Hua went to Kiana☆'s apartment and handed her the note Fu Shi had left, saying,

"I'm sorry about Fu Shi. I didn't expect her to do something like this…"

Kiana☆ took the note, clutching it tightly in her hand, then looked at Fu Hua and waved her hand, saying,

"It's alright, class rep. You really shouldn't have to worry about this. After all, it's a matter between her and me."

"Well, it's almost noon. I'll go make you a bowl of wonton noodles."

Fu Hua turned and walked into the kitchen, deciding not to get involved further.

After all, some matters between people should be left for them to handle themselves.

As Fu Hua's figure disappeared into the kitchen, Kiana☆'s face darkened like a sky filled with heavy clouds, exuding an intimidating aura.

She gently stroked her swollen belly, thoughts racing,

'Herrscher of Sentience, you'd better behave! Return Fu Lin unharmed before our child is born, or else… hmph! I definitely won't let you off easily!'

...

A few more days passed like this...

The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze swept through the flowers and trees of St. Freya Academy.

However, for Mei☆, who taught at the academy, her mood was far from as sunny as the weather.

Not long ago, after hearing from Kiana that the Herrscher of Sentience had disappeared, Mei's usually calm expression showed a slight frown, as a strange sense of unease quietly took root in her heart.

As time ticked by, the feeling grew stronger, until Mei could no longer sit idly by.

After a fierce internal struggle, Mei☆ finally decided to visit Kiana☆'s apartment to ask her directly.

After all, Kiana☆ was bound to know something.

When the doorbell rang, and Kiana☆ opened the door to see Mei☆ standing outside, her expression showed little surprise. She simply asked coldly,

"What are you here for?"

Mei☆ looked at Kiana☆ and her increasingly prominent belly, a flicker of barely noticeable envy flashing through her eyes.

But she quickly composed herself, followed Kiana☆ inside, and gently asked,

"Kiana☆, Fu Lin still hasn't returned after all this time, you…"

Kiana was sitting quietly on the sofa, her head tilted slightly upward.

Her gaze swept over Mei casually, but in that instant, she took in every subtle expression on Mei's face.

Before Mei☆ could finish, Kiana☆ already understood what she wanted to ask and cut her off bluntly, "Fu Lin came back a long time ago."

At those words, Mei☆'s eyes sparkled as she tightly pressed her lips together, trying not to reveal the urgency in her heart. She quickly asked,

"He came back?… Then where is he now?"

But Kiana☆ responded at a deliberate pace,

"Given how complicated things are between the two of us now, do you really think I'd tell you the truth?"

After hearing this, Mei☆ instead smiled slightly and replied in a soft voice,

"Looks like Fu Lin isn't with you either. Let me guess—he must be with the missing Herrscher of Sentience, right?"

After saying this, Mei☆ stared deeply at the silent Kiana☆ in front of her, trying to discern any hint of truth from her expression or eyes.

Just as Mei☆ felt certain, turned to leave, and was about to take a step—

Suddenly, the long-silent Kiana☆ broke the silence and said,

"Mei☆, I'm hungry…"

The words were like a stone dropped into a still lake, instantly stirring ripples.

Mei☆ froze mid-step, a look of shock and disbelief flashing across her face as she quickly turned to look back at Kiana☆.

Clearly, she hadn't expected Kiana☆ to make such a request.

But after a brief moment, Mei☆'s surprise gradually faded, replaced by a gentle, soft smile.

"Alright…"

Mei☆ responded quietly, then tied on an apron and walked into the kitchen, starting to prepare a delicious meal.
