GBP Chapter 129 Where is 9 You?
Chapter 129 Where is 9 You?
Upon hearing that it was a trip to the beach, Qiong's heart stirred.
In a world in chaos, traveling along the coast of Shenzhou, isn't that the Nine Nether (Chi You) incident?
Sure enough, nothing comes easy; instead, Theresa's trap of conscripting men falls from the sky—but he has to fall into it.
"Headmaster, I want to enroll."
"Okay, then get ready and set off with the others tomorrow."
"So urgent? But I just got back..."
Theresa didn't reply, but cheerfully hung up the phone. Qiong looked at Walter.
"Uncle Yang, I'm going to China."
But Walter was still immersed in his own world.
"The Nine Netherworlds over in the Divine Continent, followed by Cocolia..."
After Cocolia invaded St. Freya, he had originally planned to run back to Anti-Entropy and then plunge into the Sea of Quanta to be Kevin's cellmate... But before that, they would destroy the Herrscher of Reason's clone laboratory and rescue the infant Joe, who was only a few months old...
Once his son arrives and everyone is present, he dares to interfere heavily in the future.
"Uncle Yang, what's wrong?"
"fine."
Walter smiled.
"Just thinking about some things, have fun and be careful, remember what I said, stay away from Otto."
"that's it?"
If Qiong isn't mistaken, this trip is probably the battle for Ji Xuanyuan's Sacred Mark. Welt couldn't possibly be unaware of this and not lend a hand, could he?
That's all.
------------
"So, what about Mei and Bronya? Why did only you, Gray Hair, sign up?"
On the plane, Sora and Kiana were seated side by side.
Qiong: ...
To be honest, he didn't know either. He asked the two men, but they didn't answer, only smiling silently.
"Maybe something came up and he couldn't go."
Qiong shrugged helplessly.
"Hmph, do you even deserve to be Mei's boyfriend?"
Kiana crossed her arms and tilted her head to look at Sora.
"Going on a mission is one thing, but going out to play without a girlfriend? Even I, Mei, feel disheartened! Just imagine, you're watching the older girls play volleyball on the beach while Mei has to do her period-assigned homework with Bronya..."
"Waaaaah, so pitiful—but I'm talking about myself."
Kiana was shocked. She never expected that Qiong could be so shameless as to say that she was pitiful. How could she be pitiful when she was out having fun?
You should break up with Mei right away. You're so inconsiderate, you won't be happy with her!
"Kiana, you don't think we're just going on vacation, do you?"
Just then, Fu Hua, who was sitting next to Himeko, interrupted.
"Alright, Fu Hua, let them play. We two can handle the missions."
After all, these two were "tricked" into coming here for a trip by Theresa, and apart from Fu Hua, they don't know their own situation, so it's better to let them not know.
After all, those are just records from four thousand years ago and recent reports on Honkai energy; if they were to be found, they would have been found long ago.
Along the way, Qiong was thinking about the situation she was about to face, while Kiana quickly put the previous events behind her and chattered excitedly.
"Grey Hair, you and the class monitor are locals, right? Tell me, what good food is there over there?"
"Kiana, China is a very large country, and strictly speaking, I'm not a native..."
Fu Hua answered Kiana's question, while Qiong kept her head down, writing and drawing without saying a word.
"Hey, what are you writing?"
Kiana leaned closer to look and saw a few lines of text.
Jingwei → Chiyuan, Chiyou → Jiuyou, Fuxi → Cangxuan, Nuwa → Danzhu, Ji Lin → Ji Xuanyuan.
The back says something about the Xuanyuan Sword... I can't see it clearly? It looks like a fortune teller's scribbles.
"nothing."
Kiana saw it, but Sora didn't seem to mind.
"It's related to the mission, you'll understand."
Kiana: ?
Why do I get the feeling that she's the only one being kept in the dark?
---------------
The first thing Kiana did after getting off the plane was to get to the bottom of things.
Kiana pulled Fu Hua aside and tried to get an answer from her.
"Squad leader, what exactly is the mission?"
Fu Hua didn't hide anything, and after confirming that neither Qiong nor Himeko were paying attention, she whispered.
"Kiana, unlike you who are naturally gifted with excellent Honkai energy adaptability, Himeko's Honkai energy adaptability is only B. Moreover, she has already passed the optimal period to become a Valkyrie; she was only forcibly transplanted with artificial Stigmata..."
Kiana's eyes widened; she couldn't understand.
"Forced transplantation? Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"
Fu Hua nodded.
"There is some risk. Although Ms. Himeko pulled through and became an excellent Valkyrie, the artificial stigma is also shortening her lifespan. Ms. Himeko looks healthy now, but she only has one or two years left..."
"Aunt Himeko, she..."
Kiana felt a pang of sadness at the thought of Himeko Murata dying before her eyes.
"To save Himeko-sensei, we must find the legendary Yellow Emperor's Sacred Mark here. Only in this way can we prolong the lives of Himeko-sensei and the other Valkyries."
Why didn't you tell me sooner!
Fu Hua adjusted his glasses but didn't say anything.
Because, Himeko-sensei doesn't want you to worry.
"The Yellow Emperor..."
Wait, did Qiong just write something about Ji Xuanyuan?
"What are you two standing there for? Go find somewhere to eat!"
------------------
"Nine Netherworlds, Nine Netherworlds..."
At the dinner table, Kiana was frantically searching for information about Jiuyou, but it was difficult to find what she wanted on the internet.
Seeing that Kiana wasn't eating or drinking but searching for things, Himeko roughly guessed what was going on.
"Okay, let's eat first."
"No! I can't stop for Aunt Himeko's sake! Everyone else is prepared, but I don't know anything?"
"Actually, Qiong also—"
"If you're talking about Ji Xuanyuan's Holy Mark and the Nine Netherworlds, I know about them."
Himeko: ...
I was hoping to maintain some of the vacation atmosphere, but it looks like that's not going to happen.
"Let's eat first, you can't skip it."
Himeko smiled.
"Aunt Himeko, aren't you worried?"
"Call me 'sister'! Besides, are you in a hurry...? How could I not be in a hurry? But what good will it do me to be in a hurry? All I can do is search, and no matter how slim the chance, I will not give up!"
"Hehehe..."
A burst of laughter came from the next table. It was a short-haired girl with half pink and half purple hair, and only one yellow eye showing.
When Qiong stared at the girl and was noticed, the girl responded with a cute but fierce expression—if you ignored her cone-shaped teeth, she was actually quite adorable…
"Hey, what are you laughing at?!"
Kiana, who was in a bad mood, was about to stand up and rush over to confront the other person when a black-haired young man sitting next to her stood up and stopped her.
"Gentlemen, calm down! We do know a little about the Nine Netherworlds you've mentioned!"
"Oh?"
Himeko became interested.
"According to our analysis, the Nine Netherworlds are not on the ground, but beneath the southern sea!"
"Under the sea? That does match up with the recent emergence of so many Honkai Beasts from the ocean..."
The young man rushed up to Himeko, striking what he thought was a very cool pose.
"Red-haired lady, you're so beautiful. Would you like me to buy you a drink?"
Himeko pulled Sora close and leaned her on his shoulder.
"Thanks, but you can't..."
"It's okay, you can leave your contact information first! At least, at least leave your WeChat ID, right?"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Himeko could no longer hold back.
"Get out of my way! Can't you understand human language?!"
-----------
"You just told those stupid Valkyries from Destiny the conclusions we worked so hard to reach?"
Xing Mar was somewhat dissatisfied with this. Did this "leader" that Cocolia had summoned have some serious illness? Not to mention being arrogant, she could understand if a Herrscher was a little arrogant, but why give away such important information?
She's going to tell her mom!
The black-haired youth had lost his earlier lecherousness, replaced only by arrogance.
"Tell them to come find us and rob us again. Isn't that much easier than them finding us themselves?"
Apricot Mar: ...
Got it, this guy's not very bright. He'd rather steal than use his brain to find something himself.

Happy New Year!
