Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 320 Zhongli: Drinking Tea

Suddenly, a finger touched the captain's forehead, the cold touch instantly clearing his somewhat drowsy mind. Coming back to his senses, the captain looked at Kiana, whose face was filled with worry, and his heart immediately calmed down. He let out a soft sigh and asked...

"So what's the other half's reasoning? Honestly, do they really want to involve our children in this?"

Kiana sighed deeply after hearing this and said, "To be honest, I don't want to either if I can, but he said that His ultimate goal is our past world, and if we want to stop Him, it is necessary to re-establish the connection in advance."

"He's referring to Otto?"

"Ah."

"So you've already told him about our origins?"

"There's no other way. If we don't do this, we won't be able to get Alto to come up with a foolproof plan."

"But...you know Otto's personality, is this really okay?"

"Captain, have you not checked the group chat for a long time?"

The captain nodded. After all, he had been dealing with other matters and hadn't paid much attention to the group chat, so he had fallen behind in terms of the information updates.

"Then you'd better be careful, after all, Dad, my sister, and my aunt all know that I'm pregnant."

The captain immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He could imagine how angry the three people in his world were at him, after all, he had promised them that he would never cause a death before the wedding.

Although these things are not entirely the captain's fault, given the situation of these three people who love Kiana, it seems like it's all the captain's fault!

Thinking of this, the captain looked at Kiana with a hint of resentment. Kiana, knowing it was her fault, awkwardly scratched her face.

However, bringing this up now is not the point. Kiana gestured for the captain to look at the list of suffixes representing their world in the group chat.

The captain then saw the names of several other deceased individuals besides the Thirteen Heroes of Fire Chaser: Cecilia Shaniat, some members of the former civilization, members of the Snow Wolf Squad, and Kallen Kaslana.

"Karen..."

The captain immediately understood Kiana's meaning upon seeing the name, and then he turned to Kiana and asked.

"You resurrected her?"

"Well, for me right now, reviving someone is quite simple," Kiana admitted. "The so-called incompatibility of the vessel with the dissipated consciousness is nothing more than that. As long as the consciousness doesn't dissipate, isn't that enough?"

"So you mean you deliberately returned to our world and even went back to the past just to pull Karen back from the brink of death?"

"That's not quite right. A more accurate way to put it is that I first went back to the point where Kallen died and used my power to save her from the Honkai Beasts. At the same time, I also created a clone to deceive everyone present at the time, successfully saving Kallen without changing the course of history."

So calling it a resurrection isn't entirely accurate. Kallen's current situation is more similar to Li Sushang's. Despite being severely injured, she traveled to the future and healed herself there. Now, Kallen is supervising Otto, and once everything is over, she will lead him on their journey of redemption. Incidentally, it was Kallen who revealed my pregnancy.

"I see. But now that Kallen has been resurrected, what about Yae Sakura? Didn't she get restless seeing Kallen 'resurrected'?"

"Of course, she was right there in the bubble back then. If she hadn't lost the Key of Corruption and we weren't in our original world, Yae Sakura would probably have already left the Stigmata Space, Pekkalen."

"Tsk, looks like we're missing something fun."

The captain felt a pang of guilt at the thought of not being able to witness the twisted relationship between the three of them. But what exactly were Kallen's feelings for Otto and Yae Sakura? And was it really safe for her child to be involved?

These two questions kept swirling in the captain's mind, but fortunately Kiana saw what the captain was thinking and didn't hide anything, continuing to explain.

"Don't worry about our child. In the end, it's just using her name to establish a connection with our past life. She won't really be in danger."

As for the relationship between Kallen, Otto, and Yae Sakura, it's fair to say it's somewhat twisted. Kallen initially had feelings for Otto; if he had just mustered the courage to pursue her directly, they could have gotten together. Unfortunately, he felt unworthy of Kallen and backed down, which caused a rift in their relationship. Yae Sakura, as you know, entered Kallen's life during her most disheartening time, and during their time in Yae Village, Kallen successfully developed an interest in her. And you know what happened next.

Currently, Kallen is focused on atoning for her sins with Otto and has temporarily rejected both of their confessions. As for the future, that's hard to say; at least in the matter of winning Kallen's heart, the two have certainly become rivals.

After listening to Kiana's story, the captain sighed, "It seems our lives won't be too peaceful from now on."

"Haha, probably. After all, Yae Sakura will definitely answer the summons when we leave Teyvat and start the next mission. As for the others, my sister and dad will most likely answer the summons as well. As for my aunt, although she herself definitely wants to come, given her current status as the Bishop of Schicksal, she probably won't come for the sake of the bigger picture."

The captain nodded in approval, then inquired about the next steps. After all, there was still some time before their departure deadline, and given Kiana's personality, she certainly wouldn't want to head to the next world so soon.

"Hmm... if we look at the time, we can probably hold out until the Lantern Festival. Let's do that then, what do you think?"

"Do I have any reason to refuse?" the captain said with a helpless smile. "But honestly, is it because something is going to happen on Lantern Festival that you chose that time?"

"You can say that."

"Could it be the abyss?"

"Yes and no," Kiana replied, neither denying nor denying.

"Is that so? Well then, let's call it a day. I won't disturb you and Fuuhi's rest any longer."

"Ah."

After speaking, the captain thoughtfully turned off the light for Kiana and gently closed the door as he left the room.

When he arrived at the hall, as expected, Zhongli was sitting in the guest seat enjoying tea. The captain looked at Bella, who was carrying a teapot and had just entered from outside. It was clear that she had been waiting for him for some time.

"Then, Mr. Zhongli, let's begin our conversation."

The captain sat down and looked at Zhongli, who was calm and composed beside him, and spoke truthfully.
