Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 144 Theresa: Siegfried, he's your child!

Kiana's brother?

"What? Dad, are you serious?"

The sudden information shocked everyone, and Qiong denied it three times.

"No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense. Let's go, everyone, the time for the final battle has come!"

Qiong shrugged. Rather than explaining to everyone, Qiong wanted to test the power of Heavenly Fire Judgment on a Honkai Beast named Chi You—what? Siegfried disagrees? Go, Welt!

"Kid, maybe the family tree is too complicated and I've forgotten some things, but how could you not be from the Kaslana family?"

"Let's not worry about that now. Chi You is still waiting for us to deal with him! Headmaster, please give the order!"

After confirming that he could use the Heavenly Fire Judgment, Qiongtou, wearing a top hat, gripped the Heavenly Fire Greatsword tightly, emanating an aura of power.

"I request to go into battle!"

"No, you're still too green!"

Before Theresa could speak, Siegfried interrupted and then walked toward the sky to seize the Heavenly Fire.

Judgment of Heavenly Fire, you could also call it Heavenly Fire Self-Destruction. Most Kaslanas turn to ashes along with their enemies after unleashing their true power, but Siegfried is different; he's one of the very few who has survived using Heavenly Fire—but what about Qiong? Siegfried wouldn't dare gamble that this kid has the same abilities he had in his youth!

"Uncle Yang, please help explain!"

Siegfried hadn't taken two steps when Walter, whom Qiong had pulled over, blocked his way with his body.

"Walter, move aside!"

"Uncle Yang, we're counting on you!"

Old Yang: ……

To be honest, he hadn't quite grasped the situation yet. But I still have to say a few words.

“Siegfried, let the boy go. Sometimes you have to trust the young…”

Old Yang pushed up his glasses. Although he didn't know what kind of trouble Qiong was up to, he still expressed his trust.

Furthermore, let's analyze this calmly: the red flames are roughly 600 to 700 degrees Celsius. Both the Heavenly Judgment and the Flame Spear are red (the Flame Sword, known as the guardian of Eden, and the Heavenly Fire Greatsword in its Annihilation form, which burned Sodom, has a temperature of over 1,000 degrees Celsius). This means that Qiong can remain unharmed in temperatures of 600 to 700 degrees Celsius. The side effects of playing with the Heavenly Judgment should be less than those of Siegfried.

"What kind of talk is that? Can you take responsibility if something happens to this child?!"

"Uncle Yang, you have to believe me!"

Walter could feel the person behind him looking at him with expectant eyes.

"If you don't believe me, who will?"

Yes, Qiong trusts me so much, I can't let her down!

Another point: No matter how powerful Chi You is, can he be more powerful than the Doomsday Beast?

With that in mind, Lao Yang made a decision. As a senior, he believed he was qualified.

"I believe him, let him go! I'll take full responsibility if anything goes wrong."

"Are you getting Alzheimer's? How can you treat life like a game?! Kid, listen to me, I'll teach you when we get back, but right now you'd better give me back the Heavenly Fire!"

"No way!"

However, Qiong seemed to be deaf to everything. Having obtained the Heavenly Judgment, he was like a child who had received a new toy. No matter who tried to persuade him, it was all in vain. When people tried to persuade Qiong, he would just grin and say that he was fine.

"Give it a try! Heavenly Fire—"

"Don't cause trouble here!"

Qiong excitedly brandished the Heavenly Fire Greatsword, startling Siegfried and Theresa, who quickly tried to stop him.

"What a crazy kid!"

On the small spaceship, Siegfried was still cursing. Watching Qiong playing with his Heavenly Fire Greatsword, Siegfried's opinion of Qiong greatly declined.

At that time, both he and Theresa felt that if they didn't compromise, this kid might just tear the Hyperion apart!

"Alright, Siegfried, you have to believe me..."

"Get out of my way!"

Old Yang originally wanted to say a few good words for Qiong, but Siegfried chased him away, which left him somewhat helpless.

He chose to support the younger generation over his old friends, but he firmly believed that his choice was the right one.

After avoiding Walter with a look of disgust, Siegfried still wanted to vent his frustrations, and on this small spaceship, Theresa was the only option he could choose.

"Theresa, look at this brat! Reckless, stubborn, and unwilling to listen to advice—where is the fine tradition of the Kaslana? Decades ago, such disrespect for the head of the family would have earned him a good whipping!"

"Oh? So what?"

Theresa wasn't in a good mood either—the only one on the ship in a good mood right now was Qiong, who couldn't wait to reach Chiyou the next second.

Theresa glanced at Siegfried. Respect? You think you deserve it? She had just figured something out and was just waiting to verify it.

"If you ask me, this child is a bit reckless, but what about you? You're not much better! Besides, I've never acknowledged you as my student, Kaslana!"

Theresa switched the spaceship to autopilot and jumped out of the pilot's seat.

"Did you know? Sora's guardian said that his family are on the stars in the sky."

~~~~~~When I first enrolled~~~~

The application form will, of course, include a student's family profile, and Qiong's family...

"Teacher Bai, do you have any specific information about Qiong's family?"

"The child's family is on the other side of the Milky Way."

"I understand."

Baiji: ?

～～～～～～～～～～～

"Does that mean they're all dead? He was an orphan?"

Theresa nodded; she thought so too. It was just Bai Ji's usual pedantic way of putting it.

"Even Qiong herself has only mentioned her mother, uncles, sisters, and cousins; she has never mentioned her father..."

Theresa glanced furtively at Siegfried, trying to see if the deadbeat's attitude had changed.

Unfortunately, no.

"So, this kid's father abandoned the whole family and ran away? That's outrageous! When has the Kaslana family ever produced such a scoundrel?!"

Although Siegfried did not consider himself a good husband or father, he still deeply abhorred and was filled with righteous indignation at such acts of abandoning one's wife and children.

Suddenly, Qiong appeared pitiful in Siegfried's eyes, and there was a hint of guilt in Siegfried's eyes: it was their Kaslana who were in the wrong first!

Since they are in the wrong, it must be corrected!

"Let me think, how many of those buddies I used to hang out with back then actually match their ages? If I find out which old bastard was so irresponsible..."

"No no no no!"

Theresa shook her head, then stared at Siegfried.

“It’s not that I look down on your friends, but do you really think those scoundrels from Kaslana could have fathered such an outstanding son? In my opinion, his father must be a handsome, dashing, brave, and resourceful man. Don’t you agree, Siegfried?”

Siegfried: ?

Damn, so after all this time they've started suspecting him?

"Squat down!"

Theresa pulled Siegfried down and patted him on the shoulder.

"Let me think. Before you married Cecilia, you went out and had some fun for a while. Did you hook up with some Chinese girl during that time, get her pregnant, and then run away?"

"Theresa, it can't be me! Absolutely not!"

If so, he should definitely remember!

"I swear to Cecilia, I absolutely did not cheat on you, or may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Just then, the spaceship suddenly began to shake.

"Qi-Ge-Fei!"

"No, I didn't! I really didn't!"

Roar roar roar—

Himeko's communication came through the cockpit of the small spaceship.

"Theresa, did you switch to autopilot? I told you to drive manually and watch out for Chi You's attacks!"

I almost forgot to update (it's all someone's fault for reminding me that I haven't touched War Thunder in a long time [laughs]) -- I should be able to update another chapter today if nothing unexpected happens.
