Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 374 Punching Destruction, Kicking the Huntress, Joining Pleasure, Believing in Aha!

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

"N-nothing!"

On the plane, Xing's voice suddenly rang out from beside Qiong. Xing's tone was very calm, but it still startled Qiong so much that she almost threw her phone away—even though she hadn't done anything wrong, Qiong still pressed the screen-off button.

Controlling his emotions, Qiong turned his face and smiled at his younger sister: Xing was still wearing a similar gray trench coat, holding a phone and looking at him... However, after what had just happened, that face, which was ten or even nine parts similar to his own, was now full of suspicion.

There's something wrong, definitely something wrong. Although Qiong tried her best to act like nothing was wrong, the perceptive Miss Xing still noticed the subtle change in her brother—was he afraid? Afraid of her?

Brother, have you done something to wrong me?

"It's nothing, I just sent a message to my friends to ask them to come pick us up!"

Xing didn't say anything. She could tell that Qiong was feeling guilty, but she just put down her phone, narrowed her eyes slightly, and leaned closer to Qiong.

Brother, you're not being honest! But then again, what could possibly make her brother, who is flawless except when facing "Teacher Rita," feel so panicked?

Xing glanced at the empty cabin at the other end, where sat a lousy maid who said she "couldn't stay idle on sick leave and had to come to St. Freya to watch the Valkyrie assessment." Could it be Rita...?

No, that's not right! Considering Qiong's action of turning off the screen just now, she's definitely hiding something she doesn't want anyone to see!

Suddenly, Xing thought of two people—Alvit and Susana. She clearly remembered that when Qiong hurriedly ran out and dumped her on them, Alvit's first words were, "Aren't you his sister?"

Xing tilted her head, not looking away, but staring more intently into Qiong's eyes, as if trying to read what Qiong was thinking.

Looking back now, Qiong was very clumsy and awkward in taking care of her at first, not at all like a proper older brother; outsiders also thought of her as an "older sister" rather than a "younger sister"; plus Qiong's guilty conscience just now, and the fact that "Xing Qiong" sounds better than "Qiong Xing" no matter how you look at it, with "Xing" first and "Qiong" last...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration illuminated Miss Xing's mind—she understood!

Is it possible that she is actually the older sister? Perhaps a long time ago, she was the one who had to take care of Sora, but after waking up, she saw that Sora, who was a little taller than her, spoke first and called her "brother." Sora, who had taken advantage of her, then learned to act as an older brother—this perfectly explains her deep-seated obsession with being the older sister, because she was originally the older sister! Just like the twin sister that Sora had for a few seconds!

That must be it. Qiong is probably afraid of running into an acquaintance and being exposed, and that he'll come after her for lying to him about calling her "brother," ordering her around, and patting her head. So he's trying to get everyone to agree on a story, right? But in the face of Detective Holmes, who solved the "Heavenly Destiny Poisoning Case," no crime can hide!

"Oh, is that all?"

Xing asked softly, a slight smile playing on her lips.

“But ‘brother,’ you look even more uncomfortable than when you were taking the test yesterday morning…”

Noticing that Qiong's lips twitched despite his unchanged expression, Xing revealed a look of understanding—just as she had expected.

Xing's face softened. Perhaps she used to be a cold and aloof older sister, making it difficult for Qiong to get close to her, which made Qiong afraid of being punished by the family for revealing the truth... But what does that have to do with her now? She has forgotten everything, but she hasn't forgotten to love him. She doesn't mind these things, but she will still be a gentle older sister to protect and take care of her unruly younger brother—and then order Qiong around like he used to order her around when he was in the hospital.

Before Qiong could react, Xing stood up and hugged Qiong, who was sitting in her seat, from a superior position.

"Little brother, your older sister won't blame you for pretending to be your older brother these past few days."

Qiong: ? ? ?

"But you'd better hurry up and tell me the truth! I don't want to do this for our family—what's our family name again?"

Unlike the smug Xing, Rita, who was not far away, noticed that Qiong's face darkened.

What's going on? What did Xiaoxing think of? Why is she suddenly treating me like an older sister?

Seeing that Qiong remained unmoved, Xing tightened her embrace.

"Brother—cough cough, little brother, Xiao Qiong! It's good to admit your mistakes and correct them. I'm willing to forgive you unconditionally. Just confess honestly!"

"What do you want me to confess to?!"

"Of course it was your mistake! Impersonating your brother was a huge mistake!"

Qiong laughed at Xingqi's anger.

"What are you talking about! How could I possibly make a mistake..."

Well, he did make a mistake, but he's already received his "punishment."

Now he realized one thing: impersonating... no, it should be said, borrowing! Borrowing his brother's name to provoke the Martian god came at a price. Even after a billion Earth years, with Earth's civilization starting anew, the remnants of the Fulusha tribe having perished and fled to Fros, and Shoggoth having ascended his spirit into the Candy House and abandoned his physical body, that Martian god still hadn't let "Danheng" go.

Well... with what happened last night, he has finally come to terms with reality: Mars God really can come and kill us.

Fortunately, even though Leiera had schemed and planned to hide her memories of last night, she could not have foreseen that the high-quality replica of Feather Dust in his head could not only activate "Node Descent" and shadows, but also exert power related to memories—after all, Feather Dust is a key to consciousness.

The cognitive alteration and memory shielding that Leiera used on Qiong was essentially a mental attack, so it was not surprising that it was blocked by the Feather Dust in his head—it's just unknown how many times it can withstand it... If Xing is controlled by Leiera and does this to him from time to time, wouldn't he be in big trouble in the future?

For example… his perception was altered, unaware that the baseball bat had transformed into the shape of a Martian deity. He learned that his sister was being controlled by Leera, who was no longer concealing her presence. Enraged, he grabbed the bat and shook his “reliable teammates” like Old Yang and Bai Ji to rescue his sister. But if Leera were to send a shadow through Old Yang into the resurrection match, Bai Ji and the others would be instantly defeated because the power of the spell was like a son trying to teach his father a lesson. Isolated and helpless, he hadn't anticipated the bat would malfunction and was kidnapped, becoming a weapon used by Leera in her daily life, until someone came to rescue him or Leera herself emerged from the shadows…

Based on the above speculation, he was searching the entire internet for psychological cases of treating excessive possessiveness, but he was frightened by Xing's sudden actions—perhaps Baiji had a way to temporarily sever the connection between Xing and Leiera, but with that mad god's willpower that never gave up even after a billion years, I'm afraid he'll be here to kill me on Earth in a few days...

Therefore, he must clean up the mess for himself, and for that mad dog Lithost, by continuing the "Divine Correction Project," which currently has only one objective:

Make God great again!

Abbreviated as MGGA.

The gods were once beautiful and great, but one god went mad after losing his mother, and what he had to do was save the gods.

Well, perhaps he needs to save himself more than the gods… but that doesn’t stop him from setting a grand goal: once he has the ability, he’ll gather everyone, including the wicked Vita, to gang up on Leera and re-educate her. Maybe he can even revive two civilizations in the solar system in one fell swoop.

This is something that Xing, who could be possessed by a ghost at any moment, absolutely must not know!

……

"Hey, bro."

Seeing her stubborn "brother" who wouldn't listen to reason, "Sister Xing" laughed.

"I'm your brother!"

"Still being stubborn?"

Xing, in her gentle older sister mode, released the hug and put her hands on her hips instead.

"My silly little brother, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Just confess, I'm a magnanimous older sister."

There's nothing there.

Qiong pretended to be completely unconcerned—as long as Qiong was mentally prepared, even if the real Leera came, it wouldn't scare him, let alone the fact that he only had a silly little sister who wanted to rebel.

"I don't believe you! Your eyes are full of lies! Lying is the mark of a bad child!"

Qiong was somewhat exasperated by Xing's unreasonable behavior and could only respond with a stare.

“I would never lie to you, my dear sister! Look, my eyes are full of sincerity.”

Looking at it now, Qiong was indeed very sincere, but Xing still doesn't believe that Qiong told the truth—the eyes are the windows to the soul, but sometimes they can be covered with curtains.

"Tell me the truth, are you going to talk or not?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know and I have no comment..."

"Qiong!"

Xing suddenly pressed down on Qiong's shoulders with both hands, and the brother, who was being crushed by his sister's weight, laughed in anger... Their eyes met, and Xing stared at him fiercely. The distance between them was not even as far as a baseball bat.

"Hey, are you trying to rebel?"

"I'm going to subject you to severe torture! Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!"

Qiong couldn't help but laugh out loud and reached out to ruffle Xing's hair.

"Sis, you've got this curiosity about you. You'll have to study harder in the future..."

"Don't change the subject! Or you'll be subjected to some kind of torture art!"

Xing slapped Qiong's hand away, and Qiong's expression suddenly became serious.

"You're going to torture me? Are you willing to do that?"

Xing's eyes were as fierce as a dragon's, and she drew closer and closer to Qiong... Suddenly, she let go of his hand and slumped into the seat she had just been sitting in when she went berserk.

"I can't bear to part with it, bro, you win."

Xing's words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth; she used all her strength to finish those few sentences.

After that, I'll definitely make him call me "sister" obediently!

"sister……"

"Ok?"

Xing's eyes lit up, thinking that Qiong was going to take the initiative to "admit his mistakes," and she looked at Qiong expectantly, hoping to see the expression on his face.

Then a sinister hand landed on her head.

"Sister—hehehehe! Silly little sister, give up your foolish ideas! You are my little sister, and you'll always be my good little sister!"

Xing was taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and her face showed a look of embarrassment and anger as she prepared to retaliate, but Qiong had already withdrawn her hand.

"Stop making a fuss. Don't you think it's a little embarrassing? If you want to be a big sister, you need to be more mature. It's one thing if Rita sees you, but a lot of friends are coming to pick you up at the airport later. Aren't you afraid of losing face?"

As if to confirm Qiong's words, the airplane's public address system came on at just the right moment.

[Dear passengers, the plane is about to land. Our next stop is...]

"We've finally arrived."

Qiong breathed a sigh of relief. Once they arrived in St. Freya, they would be truly safe. After getting off the plane, she arranged for Xing to have a medical check-up, and then contacted Baiji to urgently discuss how to stop Leiera's meddling—if they had a way to do so.

Xing glared at Qiong, her cheeks puffed out, about to retort, but was interrupted by the turbulence of the plane. She could only temporarily suppress her desire to become the older sister and begin packing her meager luggage.

"Hey, brother."

"I am the older brother."

"I suddenly have a question: are you really that good at lying to girls? Have you used it on other girls?"

Qiong sighed and rubbed his forehead. What was all this nonsense?! When had he ever lied to a girl?

"What are you thinking? I never lie to girls!"

Except for Kiana and Fu Hua, they are brothers without a boyfriend.

Xing crossed her arms and looked suspicious.

"Hehe, you're so good at flattering me, even saying you'd introduce me to 'sister-in-laws.' You must have fooled so many girls, right? Tell me honestly, how many 'sister-in-laws' have you had? Let me check them out for you."
