World Modulation Mode in Honkai

The unique summer heat lingered in the air, with the distant sound of cicadas barely audible.

Kiana stared blankly at Ye Feng, a bead of sweat trickling down her forehead.

"K-K-Kiss?"

"Why are you stuttering? This should be easy, right?"

Kiana's fists clenched slightly as her gaze wandered.

She had always convinced herself with the thought, "It's not my body, after all." So naturally, what did a little physical contact mean?

But something told her that if she initiated the kiss, there would be no going back.

Seeing her internal struggle, Ye Feng felt a sense of joy. "So, you're okay with everything except kissing? Kiana, you have a rather unique preference."

Kiana opened her mouth to retort but found no words. Ye Feng continued, "You've kissed me before, haven't you? Today, it's just a different place."

Kiana's blue eyes glared at Ye Feng as if he had done something unforgivable. She hadn't even given him such a look when he turned her into a "cream puff."

"If you won't come over, then I'll have to go to you."

"What... what are you going to do..."

"I'm going to kiss you."

Ye Feng gradually emphasized the connection between "Kiana" and the "NPC body." As he approached, Kiana instinctively stepped back.

For every step she took backward, Ye Feng took one forward. Their pace was almost perfectly in sync, showing just how well they matched.

Until Kiana's back hit the wall, leaving her with no escape. His shadow loomed over her.

I'm getting "wall-pinned"!?

Kiana looked up, meeting Ye Feng's intense gaze. The heat in his eyes, filled with fiery energy, made her body weak. She instinctively wanted to avoid his gaze, but felt that doing so would mean she had lost.

So, she stubbornly raised her head, refusing to back down, and faced him directly.

"You're not avoiding me. In fact, you're getting closer?"

"Why should I avoid you?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll kiss you?"

"I'm not afraid!"

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"Just not afraid!"

"I see."

Ye Feng placed one hand against the wall beside her ear and used the other to lift her delicate chin. He smiled and said, "You're expecting it, aren't you?"

"You shameless jerk! Who's expecting you to kiss me?"

"I never mentioned a kiss. I just said, 'you're expecting it.' Why did you think of that, Kiana?"

"I... I~~"

Kiana's face flushed bright red, her long, white neck tensed with visible veins. But before she could say anything, Ye Feng's lips silenced her.

Kiana's eyes widened, her mind going blank. She tried to struggle, but Ye Feng's strong hand gripped her wrist, lifting it up and pinning it against the wall, holding her firmly in place.

Kiana was nearly half a head shorter than Ye Feng, so when he leaned in, her feet could only weakly tiptoe.

"Mm... mm... mm~~"

Her white neck was flushed red, and the redness spread to her delicate earlobes, now fully flushed with blood. Time seemed to stretch out as Kiana felt like she was suffocating.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she felt a wave of dizziness. Her pupils dilated and focused again as she tried to gather her thoughts.

But as Ye Feng released her, Kiana slid down the wall like a puddle of melted jelly, sitting limply on the ground, her legs weakly stretched out in front of her. She wiped her lips forcefully.

"...I won't forgive you!"

"Not forgive? Oh, I get it. Kiana thinks it wasn't enough and wants more."

"??"

Before Kiana could catch her breath, Ye Feng pressed her down onto the floor again. She thrashed about like a fish out of water, her slender waist writhing like a snake doused in liquor...

"Damn it!"

Kiana abruptly opened her eyes, still feeling short of breath. That long, deep kiss had left her gasping for air.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Kiana ground her teeth in frustration. Was that guy out of his mind, holding her and kissing her until now?

And what made her even angrier was that she woke up before he could reveal anything about the pseudo-Herrscher. It was a total loss!

Kiana was furious.

Why couldn't I hold on a little longer?

But the good news was that next time, she could get the answers directly. Kiana still had trust in Ye Feng's credibility.

After Kiana "left," the "NPC Kiana" sprang to her feet, shouting, "Why heal me? I want to drink [BEEP] juice," as she happily ran off.

Shortly after sunrise, Yae Sakura arrived once again. Her timing always seemed to perfectly miss Kiana's.

"Master," Yae Sakura walked gracefully through the morning light, with Fuyuki following a step behind her instead of walking alongside her.

"How did it go?"

"Thanks to Hellmaru's intervention at a critical moment, we successfully captured the pseudo-Herrscher."

"Is that so?"

Ye Feng's gaze fell on the little fox. In her human form, Hellmaru was quite petite, with a cute yet arrogant expression and a haughty attitude—truly the epitome of a bratty girl.

"Hmph, blame Yae Sakura for being such a weakling. If we had stayed there, we would have been targeted by the ship. I can't believe that in just five hundred years, human technology has advanced this far."

Ye Feng looked at her curiously, "Aren't you the Herrscher of Corruption?"

"And so?"

Ye Feng chuckled. She had even forgotten her own powers. The saying "pregnancy makes you lose your mind" really applied here.

He shook his head and said, "Regardless of the motivation, Hellmaru did well this time."

As he spoke, Hellmaru's belly visibly shrank by half, making her feel much lighter.

It was strange. As a Herrscher, she could easily carry a building or lift the Eiffel Tower without breaking a sweat. But the extra weight in her belly had been unbearable.

"Aren't you going to thank Ye Feng?"

"That's your duty to perform!" the little fox haughtily replied.

Ye Feng didn't mind, knowing he would have plenty of opportunities to play with her later.

"Settle Yuno in and see if you can bring her in as well."

"Yes, Master."

"Be careful out there. It's not yet the time when 'most Herrschers fight for the good of humanity.' Herrschers and pseudo-Herrschers are still seen as natural enemies. Only St. Freya Academy would attempt to communicate with them. Perhaps in a few days, you can enter St. Freya."

Raiden Mei was the best example. If they had already accepted one Raiden Herrscher, it wouldn't be much of an issue to bring in two pseudo-Herrschers as well.

"As you wish, Master," Yae Sakura replied calmly, her expression unwavering as if nothing in the world could interest her anymore.

Ye Feng looked at her, contemplating whether to give her a little "stimulus."
