Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 227 The Raven's Invitation

"March, why did you tell the Star Core Hunters about Qiong having a girlfriend?"

Ignoring the adults who were still discussing, Danheng turned his attention to March 7th.

"Oh, is there a problem with that?"

Danheng: ...

This is a big problem.

Anyone with eyes can see that Liuying's feelings for Qiong are special. What Sanyueqi did is almost like pushing Qiong into a fire pit...

"March, did you do it on purpose or by accident?"

March 7th innocently touched his head.

"Danheng, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"you……"

Looking into March 7's clear eyes, Dan Heng simply couldn't associate March 7 with the word "treacherous."

She couldn't even say the words "Qiong likes you".

"Never mind, it's nothing."

March 7th: ?

Seeing March 7 like this, Dan Heng couldn't help but recall their past moments: starting from that thrilling and heart-pounding adventure in Belberg, the entire train crew could see that Qiong had a different kind of feeling for March 7 than for anyone else (including other train crew members, but not Liu Ying).

Before Pinocchio, they had always traveled together on several journeys. This wasn't the typical family dynamic of a parent taking their child on a trip, or a mature older brother leading a lively younger sibling on an adventure; it was a companionship tinged with a budding romantic attraction, somewhere between friendship and family. The rest of the train crew felt this was the prelude to romance. And everyone was happy for it. As for himself, his wish was for the five of them to travel with the conductor from station to station, on an endless journey…

This isn't because they were prejudiced against Qiong and Sanyue! From another perspective, Qiong has always had interactions with various girls he meets casually, and some have even developed feelings for him. However, those girls who liked him later discovered that their feelings for Qiong were unrequited; he only considered them good friends, lifelong male confidants. As for the Pioneer, he belongs to the galaxy, and he usually takes a group photo with his friends before gracefully departing…

Therefore, based on the above judgment, everyone believes that Qiong is wholeheartedly devoted to the innocent and cute Xiao Sanyue. Given time, Sanyue will also understand Qiong's feelings, and the two will definitely be together—if we don't consider the sudden appearance of Ms. Liuying from Pinocchio.

Now look what's happened. Not only did it drag on until the core hunter Firefly from Pinocene entered the fray, but it also dragged on until Qiong talked to an Earthling...

"Fine."

Danheng decided to focus on helping Walter in the present moment, although he was still a little worried about how Qiong would deal with the furious Sam...

Good luck, buddy. He's standing on March 7th.

"This meeting is so boring..."

Even though she hadn't realized her house had been raided, March 7th was still grumbling. She really didn't understand what the others were talking about: Is saving someone really that troublesome?

"Yeah, it is pretty boring."

A weak, monotone voice rang in their ears.

"Yes, yes, that's what we think too!"

On March 7th, looking towards the source of the sound, there was a black-and-white furry little girl with an expressionless face carrying a large hammer and a white-haired girl with a troubled expression.

Wow, what a huge hammer!

Bored out of his mind, March 7th's eyes lit up, and he immediately moved closer—the kind of movement that Danheng couldn't stop.

"Hello, I'm March 7th! Little friend, what's your name?"

"Oh, March 7th, I've heard so much about you."

"Hey, do you recognize me?"

March 7's smile turned into confusion. They hadn't even officially explored this planet yet, and their reputation had already spread?

The little black-and-white hairy girl, or rather, the little black-and-white hairy girl with a tail, stared at March 7's face without saying a word.

"Is there something on my face?"

No, no.

The girl withdrew her impolite gaze, placed the hammer under her as a small stool, and stretched out her hand to March 7th.

"My name is Coralie."

Considering their identities, Coralie thought for a moment, then put on a cute expression and said a few more words.

“I am Uncle Yang’s niece, so you are my older sister.”

"elder sister?"

March 7th was taken aback at first, then grinned.

"Oh, so you're Uncle Yang's family. Is your mother the one who got arrested this time? Don't worry, I'll come and rescue your mother right away!"

As he spoke, March 7th patted his chest.

"Hello, I am Helia, Coralie's companion."

Despite her reluctance, Helia still extended a hand of friendship to the three of them—for no other reason than that, according to Coralie, this pink-haired girl was one of Mei-sensei's biggest rivals in love.

"Hello!"

The adorable Coralie glanced at Danheng, then at March 7th.

"Sister, are you and this brother a couple?"

"Don't talk nonsense, little Coralie! We're just friends!"

"Oh, so that's not it?"

Coralie tapped her chest with her two index fingers, leaving Helia with no choice but to cover her face.

If others familiar with Coralie were to see the mighty A-rank Valkyrie Coralie Planck acting cute for a little bit of information, that would be... well...

"I thought you two were a couple like Qiong-gege and Mei-jie!"

"Sora and Mei-san?"

Danheng: ...

For some reason, Dan Heng, who was frowning as he observed the two, felt that the girl in front of him was not so... innocent.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell from March 7th.

--------------

Sky City has many urban legends.

Although most of them are fake.

However, most urban legends have their prototypes. For example, if you wander around the alleys late at night without sleeping, you might see a snake-faced man dressed in black and carrying a black umbrella. Anyone who sees him will be possessed by the spirits. This urban legend is based on a man whose daily sign is a gray snake who stands motionless in the shadows of an alley on a sunny day with an umbrella.

"You're here?"

It was another rendezvous day, but Gray Snake knew that today was different from any other ordinary rendezvous day.

"Grey Snake, can't you just say what's on the phone? If all else fails, you can go to that crazy woman's territory. Why did you have to call me here?"

Outside the alley, a hooded man suddenly appeared and spoke to the waiting gray snake in a rather unfriendly manner.

"Raven, when it comes to the Lord, you can never be too careful."

Upon hearing this, the raven chuckled and said nothing more.

Raven had heard Gray Serpent talk about that Lord before. In Gray Serpent's words, the "Lord of the World Serpent" was all-powerful, capable of going to heaven and earth. It seemed that as long as he appeared, all mankind could be saved, and the World Serpent's long-cherished wish could be fulfilled.

However, the serpent's followers must first save the Lord from the sea of ​​suffering before they can receive the Lord's leadership and be saved.

But she didn't care. She was just a mercenary who did things for money. In her eyes, the World Serpent's grand plan was not as important as the island villa.

"Alright, alright, tell me where to go?"

"South of the Far East, in the Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines. That is where His Majesty is!"

"With such a vast area, are you sure the Lord is there?"

Raven frowned, his tone full of doubt.

"Of course, the Lord is right there!"

"Alright, since you're so sure, let's go. Let's make it clear beforehand, if we don't find the Lord, you'll still have to pay the reward... Oh, and here, take this."

As he spoke, Raven pulled out a red booklet with gold-embossed edges from his pocket.

"what is this?"

"Invitation. My house is almost finished, and I should invite my relatives and friends to a meal when I move into a new house... Apart from those kids, it seems like I can only invite you few."

Incidentally, you also have to collect money as a gift for moving to a new house.

Gray Snake took the invitation, glanced at it casually, and then put it away.

"Let's get down to business first; the Lord's affairs cannot be neglected."

The raven shrugged. "That's fine."

"Okay, let's set off then. But you better not have the wrong place in mind... Come to think of it, my new home is located quite close to the area you marked."
