Chapter 431 Kiana: I am, after all, the Chosen One
Kiana immediately went back to her room after returning, leaving Mei standing at the door, reaching out to Kiana's back in a daze, and finally letting out a sigh.
"Honestly, they're still so reckless as to not even bring back the merchandise they bought themselves."
After saying that, Mei picked up the items placed at the door, along with the groceries and snacks she was carrying, and took them back into the apartment before closing the door. At the same time, Kiana, remembering that she hadn't taken anything, also returned to the door, apologizing as she and Mei put the groceries into the refrigerator together.
She then returned to her room with the merchandise she had bought. As for the snacks Bronya wanted, she left them at Bronya's door and texted her to come and get them herself.
After all, who knows if Bronya is still streaming right now? It would be a real hassle if someone just walked in and found her streaming.
As for using abilities to check the situation in the room, there is no need for that. Besides, I had already made a three-point agreement with Kazehiro that we would not use special abilities such as powers unless necessary.
As the current agent of the Heavenly Dao, she has the ability to instantly detect any unusual phenomena occurring in the areas under Feng Lixi's jurisdiction.
Because of her past life, Kiana knows Feng Lixi's personality all too well. Anything agreed upon must never be broken arbitrarily; otherwise, in Zhongli's words, the one who breaks the contract will be punished by the Devouring Rock.
The same applies to Fuujiki; Kiana doesn't want to be punished by her family in her past life just because of this.
Besides buying groceries, I also had another purpose for going out today.
Kiana wanted to confirm whether she was still the heir to her family, since the subtle changes in the timeline had caused her some concern about potential butterfly effects.
However, it seems that the current world line change is not enough to cause a big enough change. So what about the captain's past life?
Unfortunately, the captain's past self wasn't with me today. If nothing major has changed, he's probably still very close to his past self.
However, Kiana still had to complain that her family in her previous life named their heir Feng Lixi while the current patriarch was still alive, as if they were afraid the current patriarch would die soon. She couldn't understand how anyone could tell the difference.
What Kiana didn't know was that among the patriarchs of her family in her previous life, only her mother was the most special. As a descendant of Nuwa, Feng Lixi, who had been the patriarch since ancient times, would die of old age soon after giving birth to her offspring and designating an heir in the family.
Therefore, as the heir, Feng Lixi will soon inherit the position of clan leader under the guidance of the elders, and naturally there will be no situation of two Feng Lixi.
However, Kiana's mother in her previous life used some unknown method to not only escape this predetermined fate but also gain power greater than that of previous clan leaders.
It can be said that, apart from Kiana, who was forced to reincarnate before fully awakening and inheriting the position of clan leader, the current clan leader, Fuurishi, who is Kiana's mother in her previous life, is the strongest among all the clan leaders.
It is believed that Kiana's father was not a member of the clan, in other words, Kiana's bloodline is not pure in theory, but during the identification process, it was found that her bloodline was purer than anyone else in the family.
It is said that the elders in charge of tracing bloodlines at the time began to doubt life itself, and even wondered if Kiana's father's ancestors were members of a family that had been separated from their ancestors in ancient times.
However, after tracing back, it was found that her ancestors did not have any relation to the family at all, and the whole matter was eventually dropped. It could only be concluded that Kiana's bloodline had undergone atavism.
After briefly examining her bloodline through simple methods she remembered from her past life, Kiana discovered that her bloodline remained unchanged, even purer than she remembered.
After dinner, Kiana called the captain, who had returned for dinner, to her room. As the door closed, Kiana once again sealed off the entire room.
Sensing that the space was sealed off, the captain asked with some concern, "Won't Auntie come looking for an explanation if we use our powers so freely?"
Kiana comforted her, "It's alright, I already informed her beforehand. She said there were some things we needed to discuss in a quiet place."
"So what is it that you need to ask me like this?"
"It's...your...past life..." Kiana asked hesitantly, "Is your past life the same as you remember it?"
The captain chuckled helplessly, "What? I thought you had something important to ask me. My past life—Ji Haotian—hasn't changed at all, so don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Kiana's face first lit up with joy, but then she became conflicted.
The captain then realized that the lack of change might not be entirely good news for them, although he didn't know what Altair's purpose was in bringing them here in the first place, or who she was referring to as "He".
Everything is still shrouded in mystery, but none of that matters to them. What matters most to them right now is how to change the future disaster.
Even if this would make their reincarnation and time travel no longer exist, thus triggering the grandfather paradox, it would be too insignificant compared to the damage caused by the future catastrophe.
Thinking of this, the captain, or rather Ji Haotian, gently hugged Kiana and softly comforted her: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will always be with you. This is a promise we made in our past life. Even if we completely change the future of this world, I will never leave you because of it."
Kiana didn't speak, but silently reached out and hugged Ji Haotian's waist. The two stood quietly in the room for a long time without saying a word.
After a long while, the two separated. Seeing that it was still early, Kiana released the sealed space, then pulled Ji Haotian's hand and led him to the computer desk, forcibly pressing him down.
Before Ji Haotian could react, Kiana had already shoved a controller into his hand.
"It's still early, let's play some two-player games first."
Before the captain could even give his permission, Kiana had already turned on the live stream and started broadcasting.
Seeing this, Ji Haotian shook his head with a wry smile. If he hadn't sensed anything wrong, Kiana had used her power to stop time so that only her computer could still function normally, thus opening the live stream at lightning speed.
Watching Kiana excitedly chatting with viewers in the live stream while opening the game, the captain simply picked up the controller with affection and started playing the newly released "Two-Person Journey" with Kiana.
