Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

What's so funny about Chapter 137!

After searching for a while, the four of them found another stone tablet.

"Unfortunately, when I found this place, I couldn't even find her remains. Her only possession, the Xuanyuan Sword, is also missing... All I can do is erect a stone tablet here, tell her story, and carve a statue of her favorite red kite bird to accompany her here forever... That's all."

"If the body can't be found, then the Holy Mark is probably..."

Himeko was a little disappointed.

"Have both the legendary sword and the sacred marks on the remains disappeared? Is this just a cenotaph for Ji Xuanyuan?"

Seeing Himeko's disappointment, Kiana was also upset.

"No, that's not right! The Honkai energy concentration here is so high, there must be treasure! Aunt Himeko, let's look again!"

Qiong also agreed with Kiana to continue the search.

"Even if we don't have what we need, it's too strange that there isn't a single Honkai Beast with such a high concentration of Honkai energy, isn't it?"

"Grey Hair is right! Squad leader, what do you think?"

Kiana looked at Fu Hua, but Fu Hua did not answer.

"Squad leader?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Fu Hua, who had been silent, seemed to only then realize what was happening.

"Anyway, let's keep looking."

Fearing something might go wrong, Himeko firmly rejected Kiana's proposal for the others to split up and explore the area.

Kiana looked around and suddenly noticed that although Fu Hua seemed to be searching, her eyes kept drifting towards the red kite statue not far away.

That's so strange.

"Sigh, Gray Hair."

Kiana nudged Sora with her elbow.

"Isn't our class monitor a little strange? What do you think?"

Kiana seemed to notice Fu Hua's unusual behavior, but Qiong and Kiana weren't on the same page, and Qiong thought that Kiana wanted him to evaluate Fu Hua.

"Hardworking and reliable, exceptionally talented, and young... cough cough, she became an A-rank Valkyrie at such a young age, a role model for us all, what's wrong?"

Qiong didn't deliberately lower her voice, but the other two heard it too.

Fu Hua was also a little confused. Why did Kiana suddenly ask Qiong a question?

"It's nothing, maybe it's just my imagination?"

Kiana shook her head, and Qiong thought the paramecium was trying to change the subject.

"I'm not trying to criticize you, but if you had learned even a little from our class monitor, Comrade Fu, your grades wouldn't be so bad. There's an old saying in China: 'If you don't study hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old—'"

Seeing that Qiong was about to start lecturing, Kiana quickly covered her ears.

"Stop spouting those old-fashioned Chinese sayings! Our class monitor nags on and on, I'm sick of it! You know what? Our class monitor is like an old relic! You've seen it yourself, she not only lectures me several times a day, but she also tattles on me to my aunt every now and then. I'm so annoyed!"

Suddenly, Kiana seemed to sense something, and her body trembled slightly.

Oh no, in my anger I momentarily forgot that Fu Hua was still behind me.

Kiana turned around with a forced smile, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Fu Hua wasn't looking in her direction.

Thankfully, the class monitor didn't notice, otherwise I would have been lectured again.

"Kiana, that's not right of you."

Fu Hua's silence doesn't mean Himeko won't speak up. In Himeko's eyes, Fu Hua is a rare, flawless student, so isn't her lecturing of Kiana also for her own good?

Now they're doing this right in front of Fu Hua... It's only because Fu Hua has a good temper that she's doing this; her temper is terrible.

"When has Fu Hua ever said that it wasn't your fault? Do you even remember last week when you were eating hot pot in the classroom and the whole class smelled like hot pot?!"

"Oh my, you've got some nerve! I, Qiong, am truly ashamed of myself!"

Qiong gave Kiana a thumbs up.

"Sister Qi, I never even dared to imagine eating hot pot in the classroom. It's only because your family owns St. Freya that you're so amazing!"

Kiana blushed at Sora's sarcastic remark, and Himeko immediately followed up with another sarcastic remark.

"Yeah, that's pretty impressive. She got caught eating hot pot in the classroom that afternoon before class, and she even defended herself for doing so. She said there was no rule in the school rules that forbade eating hot pot in the classroom during lunch break. She almost made Mr. Walter, who was teaching the first history class one afternoon, faint with anger."

Himeko's sarcastic tone and Sora's smiling face made Kiana even more embarrassed.

"Oh well, it's all in the past now. Mr. Walter told me to leave later, so I did..."

"Kiana, I think Mr. Walter meant for you to stand at the door as punishment, not for you to skip class and leave the school."

"Pfft, it's hard to imagine Uncle Yang fainting from anger..."

After Fu Hua finished speaking, Qiong immediately burst into unrestrained laughter.

In Kiana's eyes, this was the dead gray hair's merciless mockery of her.

But she couldn't refute it, and in the end, she could only blush and shout at Qiong.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny!"

"Your anti-entropy quantum teleportation technology is at least twenty years ahead of Destiny's, isn't it?"

Perhaps to reunite the old friend as soon as possible, or to show sincerity to Theresa, Walter instructed Einstein to immediately use the most advanced quantum teleportation technology to send Siegfried to the residence assigned to him by St. Freya.

"Siegfried, how are you feeling now?"

On the other end of the communicator were two PhDs from Reverse Entropy.

"Don't worry, you two, I'm perfectly fine!"

Einstein nodded.

"That's good. It seems the verification work for this technology is basically complete."

"Wait a minute? Are you using me as an experiment?"

The door opened, and Theresa and Walter walked in.

"Don't worry, Mr. Siegfried. We at Anti-Entropy have conducted rigorous preliminary testing. We've already experimented with Titan mechs and mice, so it's absolutely reliable."

Although Walter claimed it was absolutely reliable, Siegfried was still somewhat dissatisfied.

"Shouldn't I have been notified in advance? I've inexplicably become the world's first human experiment subject?"

No, no, no, you are not.

Walter shook his head and pointed to himself.

"You're the fourth. The first three are the three of us."

Siegfried: ...

"Siegfried, it's been so many years, shouldn't we catch up?"

Theresa's bones were cracking, and she looked like she was about to rush over and punch someone.

"Wait, Theresa, you don't want to bully a disabled person who only has one right hand, do you?"

"This punch was for Kiana!"

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

"Those who come after... the red kite guides the way forward. If I'm not mistaken..."

Fu Hua patted the stone sculpture, which may be thousands of years old.

"The direction the bird's head is pointing must hold what we're looking for!"

It's unclear what mechanism Fu Hua triggered, but the stone wall started rumbling.

As the stone wall slowly opened, a dazzling light shot out. A golden sword radiating intense light hovered in the air, surrounded by faintly visible symbols. Everyone believed that these were the symbols representing the Holy Mark.

"Could that be the Xuanyuan Sword?!"
