I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Page 741

The first time, Nia said she was hungry and led everyone on a long detour to a local restaurant.

The second time, she took everyone on a tour of the street market square, ostensibly to "gather intelligence."

Including these five instances of leading the wrong way...

March 7th strongly suspects that this person has no idea where the bounty hunter headquarters is!

Okay~

Before a string of complaints could be uttered, March 7th heard Xing happily agree.

"Balloon popping? I never expected to run into such a classic street game here."

Qiong's eager tone made March 7's eyes widen.

How could you be blinded by a fox spirit that looks like a firefly?

Little March pouted her cheeks angrily, looking like an inflated pink pufferfish.

snort!

I'm ignoring you all!

Three minutes later.

"Let me tell you, this is how you use a bow and arrow..."

March 7th, holding a specially made bow and arrow provided by the stall, struck a pose of a master and earnestly instructed Nia, Star, and Robin.

"The posture for nocking the bow and drawing the string must be correct, your fingers should be placed here... Yes, that's it!"

"Don't tense your fingers, relax them naturally, and don't take more than four seconds to aim. Hesitation will lead to defeat, so let go when you're ready!"

This stall doesn't use firearms to shoot balloons; instead, it uses special bows and arrows.

After all, what bounty hunter doesn't know how to use a gun?

Conversely, fewer people used bows and arrows as weapons.

But she, March 7th, is a master archer who has won the Starry Sky Train Archery Competition for 56 consecutive years!

The competition is held irregularly, and the organizer is none other than her, Xiao Sanyue!

Even if the boss tampered with the arrows, shooting balloons was nothing compared to her absolute skill.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Little March was completely absorbed in the sounds of balloons popping and the praise from those around her, having a wonderful time and completely forgetting her earlier complaints.

Do you need me to teach you?

Qiong walked over to Nia, who was drawing her bow.

Her movements weren't exactly skillful, but they were by no means those of a novice; she had clearly been through similar experiences before.

Qiong had long seen through her thoughts—she had no intention of taking everyone to the bounty hunter headquarters at all, but was instead leading them around the city as if... just playing around.

Since she wants to play, Qiong will play with her!

If she is truly the Empress, she must have a way to contact Liu Ying, which would be far more efficient than their aimless searching.

Moreover, fireflies may not even exist on this planet.

"Okay."

Nia smiled gently and readily agreed.

Qiong hesitated for a moment, then gave Xing a wink.

Xing immediately understood and deliberately made a little noise, successfully attracting the attention of March 7, who was in high spirits, and the elegantly observing robin, creating an opportunity for her own little one to be alone.

Qiong began to teach Nia step by step, holding her in her arms.

This time, he deliberately made intimate gestures to test her reaction.

But what to say...

This method is not entirely accurate.

As a gender-swapped version of the Galactic Succubus, Qiong's appearance is among the most stunning in the universe.

People who have never been handsome have no idea how proactive girls can be towards handsome guys.

With a little finesse, he went to the archery range to find girls for personal instruction, and 90% of the girls wouldn't refuse such an intimate teaching method.

Nia is no ordinary person.

But she still didn't refuse.

As a master of emotions and a seasoned Masked Fool, Qiong is able to keenly perceive things.

Nia instinctively felt uncomfortable with this kind of intimate contact, but she actively adapted and kept it within a delicate range.

Her physical reaction was less about resistance or enjoyment, and more about... feeling.

Yes, the feeling I got from Qiong was that she seemed to be experiencing some kind of feeling that she wanted to understand through this contact.

Thinking back to Nia's expression when she saw them taking a photo with Liu Ying, Qiong seemed to have something on her mind.

Could she be...?

With Sora's guidance, the girl won a small prize.

"Oakwood Cake Roll..."

Qiong gazed at the prize the boss gave to Nia.

This stuff isn't unique to Pinocchio; most impoverished people on the fringes add sawdust to their bread to keep themselves full.

Later, it evolved into a quirk among the wealthy, used to express a desire to remember the bitter past and appreciate the sweet present.

How about we split it in half?

Qiong broke the cake roll open and fed it to Nia, just like she had fed fireflies in her dream.

"Okay."

The girl parted her lips slightly and accepted Qiong's feeding.

"what about the taste?"

Qiong asked with a smile.

"not bad……"

Nia nodded.

The bread was very dry and hard, and it had a bitter, sawdust-like taste. She chewed the sawdust in her mouth very carefully and swallowed it slowly.

"It's delicious."

Nia raised her eyes and gazed at the sky:

"A very special feeling..."

PS: The number of crystals in Chapter 643 was too low and has been revised. The current number of crystals is 2808.

Volume 1: Chapter 646 Three Lines, Mother or Sister?

Just as Qiong was about to put the remaining half of the oak cake roll into his mouth, Nia was a step faster, deftly taking the cake away with her slender fingers.

Qiong cast a slightly surprised glance at her.

Nia, however, simply gazed at the cake roll in her hand, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on her lips, before naturally offering it to Qiong's lips:

"Here."

Oh?

Qiong raised an eyebrow, a strange smile playing on her lips.

Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and ate the cake, even deliberately licking her fingertips, which were as smooth and white as mutton fat jade, with the tip of his tongue, just as he had done with Liu Ying before.

High emotional intelligence: Compared to Pinocchio's oak-oaked cake roll which uses a lot of plant additives, this version has a more natural flavor.

Low emotional intelligence: The taste of this cake instantly made Qiong empathize with Xing's previous experience of gnawing on tree bark - it's not that they are completely unrelated, but that they are exactly the same.

As for why Xing would gnaw on tree bark?

When she's in the mood, she'll even pick the foxtail grass from the green belt and taste it. You ask her?

The two, chewing on their oak cake, looked at each other with smiles on their lips, the atmosphere so subtle it resembled a carefully crafted scene of a couple deeply in love.

"Something feels off about those two."

Robin wasn't some silly little March; even though Star tried hard to distract her, she still keenly noticed the overly intimate feeding behavior between Qiong and Nia.

The usually elegant and dignified superstar felt a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

Since his older brother had accepted Qiong's address of him as her brother-in-law, it would be impossible for Robin to be completely unmoved.

The Milky Way is vast, civilizations are diverse, and marriage systems vary greatly, ranging from monogamy, polyandry, and even more bizarre multi-person marriage systems.

Robins are not advocates of any particular system.

Before meeting Qiong, she had never experienced such excitement, nor had she ever felt such special affection for any man.

I'm a little unsure how to deal with these feelings.

Let it happen naturally.

At this moment, the robin wasn't agonizing over which stance to take in being jealous. Instead, with the keen intuition unique to artists, it sensed an indescribable strangeness surging beneath the seemingly intimate atmosphere between Qiong and Nia.

It wasn't like the ambiguity of love at first sight; rather, it was more like two highly skilled actors improvising a scene, testing each other, yet going beyond mere performance.

The robin couldn't explain this complex feeling, which is why it felt so strange.

After experiencing the fun of shooting balloons in the street, the group decided to split up and form pairs.

Qiong and Nia, Xing and March 7th, Kiana and the robin.

This time, Nia didn't continue to confidently claim that she would lead everyone to post the missing person reward. Instead, she readily took Qiong's arm and left with a smile, like a weasel that had stolen a chicken.

After the two people had walked away.

"Ah Qi, what's wrong?"

Xing noticed that March 7th beside her was frowning, looking like she was deep in thought.

"Something's not right, something's very wrong!"

March 7th nodded his little head absentmindedly, his expression serious, like a detective who had spotted a suspect, or someone who had activated a cheating detection radar.

"Ah Xing, don't you think that Nia is suspicious? I seriously suspect that she actually has ulterior motives towards Ah Qiong!"

"What could Qiongzai possibly want? Does Nia think she's after his body?"

Xing shook her head inwardly.

Ah Qi finally realized what was happening.

With this level of reaction, when will I be able to join tonight's party?!

"A craving for sex...now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like that!"

On March 7th, she clapped her hands and widened her eyes, which she thought were all-knowing.

"But Nia is just as beautiful as Liuying, so logically she shouldn't be..."

She originally wanted to say that as a super beautiful girl, she shouldn't be so proactive even when facing the incredibly charming Sora, but then she thought of the undisguised, almost innocent succubus-like advances that Ryougi had when facing Sora.

The words that were on the tip of my tongue suddenly wouldn't come out.

As she composed herself and prepared to continue speaking, her tongue tasted a familiar cool and mellow flavor.

On March 7th, she subconsciously licked it with her tongue.

"Hey, you still have this rock candy?"

Didn't you say you were finished eating?

"You actually lied to me! Hand over the good stuff right now!"

The star successfully diverted my attention.
