A group of people sat around the dining table at Kiana's house, while Kiana pinched her chin, deep in thought.
Kiana was a little scared because Yushu was standing behind her with an ambiguous smile on her face. During the meal, she had already heard what she and Feixiao did after getting drunk last night. They drank the aged wine Feixiao brought, and for some reason, just two cans got both of them hammered.
Feixiao still had a sliver of consciousness, but Kiana had completely blacked out, purely driven by instinct.
The two of them then sparred inside the Taiyin Mansion, and the entire Taiyin Mansion was beaten to the brink of retirement by them.
Before they both lost consciousness, they faintly heard laughter, though they weren't sure if it was just an illusion.
When Yushu rushed over after hearing the news, the two Generals were actually lying among scattered broken wood, sound asleep.
"General, please eat quickly. The 'mess' at Taiyin Mansion is still waiting for you to handle it~"
"Yes...!"
Kiana straightened her body.
Mei looked at Yushu, then looked at Kiana, who had been thoroughly subdued... She was a potential... no, an enemy... A hint of hostility flashed in Mei's eyes.
Feixiao, meanwhile, watched Kiana's embarrassed appearance with her mouth full.
"Kiana, it looks like you're quite afraid of your Chief Strategist."
"You're responsible for this too! Feixiao!"
Kiana gritted her teeth and said.
Hearing this, Feixiao quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, took a few more bites, and then pulled out her jade sign.
"Oh dear, Yaoqing has discovered traces of the Followers of Abundance. I need to head back!"
Before Kiana could reach out to stop her, Feixiao stood up, transformed into a streak of azure wind, and slipped away through the window.
"You just wait! Feixiao!"
"Alright, eat quietly!"
Sirin slapped Kiana on the head.
"Oh..."
After being 'caressed' by Sirin's fist of love, Kiana became much more obedient.
After breakfast, Kiana was reluctantly dragged away by Yushu to the Taiyin Mansion, with Mei, Bianca, and Rita following closely behind.
Having just concluded a war, there were still many things to attend to, and Yushu had to keep a close eye on this General who loved to play around.
Upon arriving at the Taiyin Mansion, Kiana saw that many people had gathered inside.
All the Flame-Chasers were present (except Griseo).
All the Herrschers were there too.
Prometheus 17... a remnant of the Locust-like Insectoid, Emanator of The Propagation, and Livelier, the one most likely to revive "The Propagation."
There was also the leader of the survivors, who was guiding Lisa.
The Six Regents had also gathered.
And finally, the group Kiana least wanted to see... her subordinates who had come to report to her.
Seeing such a bustling Taiyin Mansion, Kiana felt a headache coming on and immediately had the idea of running away.
But it was as if Yushu had seen right through her thoughts, and Yushu immediately grabbed her wrist.
"You~ can't~ run~ away~"
"Yushu, this General is feeling unwell today, perhaps..."
Kiana scanned her surroundings and quickly fixed her target: Otto!
"I have a candidate to cover for me. Look at that blonde, her work ability is really strong..."
"No, the position of General cannot be delegated to an outsider, my dear General..."
Yushu directly interrupted Kiana and pulled her toward the imperial desk area.
Even if the person's abilities were outstanding, they were not currently part of the Xianzhou orthodoxy. How could such an important position as General be handed over to someone else?
Anyway, even if Kiana wanted to remove her from her post, Yushu would absolutely not agree!
"Fine..."
Kiana said weakly.
The plan was ruined. It seemed Otto's use would have to be reconsidered... The successor for this General position should be decided sooner rather than later!
She had been General long enough!
"Kiana, why do you look so listless~? ♪"
Elysia walked up beside Kiana with her hands behind her back, asking with eyes full of concern.
"Life is completely screwed, doro..."
"Huh??? ♪"
Elysia tilted her head cutely, showing her confusion.
Soon, Kiana was seated behind the imperial desk, while Yushu stood to the side.
Subordinates quickly handed over their reports. Looking at the steadily growing pile of official duties, Kiana turned completely gray.
Qingque, standing among the crowd below, rubbed her chin, shook her head, and looked at Kiana with sympathy.
But she kept quiet, afraid Kiana might find something for her to do!
Moreover, she maximized her petite stature, hiding among several older sisters, completely concealing herself within the crowd!
That's right, Qingque had sneaked in among the Flame-Chasers!
After the subordinates placed all the official documents in front of Kiana, they retreated to their respective posts.
Following this, Kiana began making arrangements for the others.
First, she had Fu Hua's Department of Geomancy grant everyone resident status on the Wangshu Astral Express.
Next, she appointed Li Sushang as the Sword Head of Warahip.
As for whether the Cloud Knights would object?
Don't worry, once the Cloud Knights witnessed Li Sushang, who wielded a Black Hole in one hand and was a Sword God in the other, they would know exactly how strong their Sword Head was.
Bronya, who had already received an invitation from Nous, was not assigned any work by Kiana for the time being.
Kiana would arrange something once Bronya decided what she wanted to do.
Senti, the Emanator of memory, originally wanted a high-ranking position, but realizing the trouble would not be small, she settled for being an unattached person.
So Kiana had her work under Fu Hua, so someone could keep an eye on her and prevent her from running around scamming people.
Bianca, Mei, Rita, and Himeko were conferred the title of Warahip Cloud Knights Valiants by Kiana.
As for Bianca, Kiana intended to groom her as the next General, as Bianca possessed the potential.
Prometheus 17 was assigned by Kiana to the Divination Commission, under Qingque, to serve as a Diviner.
With 17's knowledge and computational power, combined with Qingque's Talents, the Divination Commission certainly had a bright future.
'Don't tell me my good General sister sent her to monitor me!'
Qingque, hiding behind Aponia and the others, looked at 17's expressionless face and felt like the sky was falling.
As for the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, Kiana created another position unique to Warahip: the Thirteen Divine Generals.
The Divine Generals would all take their respective Sigils as their titles.
Fu Hua was nominally listed among the Divine Generals, but her primary position remained Grand Steward of the Department of Geomancy.
The Thirteen Divine Generals reported directly to the Warahip General and represented the peak fighting power of the Wangshu Astral Express.
Successors to the Thirteen Divine Generals could inherit the Sigil titles, and these successors could be personally trained by the respective Divine Generals.
Fu Hua might be the first Divine General to have a successor, as she still had the vast Department of Geomancy to manage.
As for who would inherit the name of "Floating Life," that remained unknown.
Due to his own aspirations, Su joined the Alchemy Commission as a Physician, studying medical arts under Lingsha.
Mobius was appointed as Special Consultant to the Alchemy Commission.
Vill-V served as Deputy Master of Contraptions in the Department of Contraptions and Artifice.
Griseo, who had not yet arrived, was preemptively booked by Kiana for the position of Deputy Helmsman of the Sky-Faring Commission.
Pardo and Klein opened a small convenience store together near St. Freya, along the roadside in Liuyun Alley.
Otto was temporarily assigned to the Sky-Faring Commission under Tingyun to assist with her duties. Later, Kiana would find a way to place him in the Taiyin Mansion to help her handle official business.
Schicksal was dismantled into several parts and sent to different departments.
The Schicksal Valkyries as a whole were integrated into the Cloud Knights. This army, composed entirely of women, received the new designation, the "Taiyin Army."
Scientists entered various Commissions based on their respective fields of research. For example, Nagamitsu joined the Department of Contraptions and Artifice.
Due to its prominence in the field of biology, World Serpent was assigned by Kiana to the Alchemy Commission as a subordinate enterprise.
Among them, Natasha established the Raven Orphanage in Warahip with the children from the Nest.
Most people from Anti-Entropy joined the Department of Contraptions and Artifice, except for Dr. Schrödinger, who went to the Sky-Faring Commission.
Because she had drifted in the Sea of Quanta for a long time, she was perfectly suited for the functions of the Sky-Faring Commission.
Oh, right, there was also Cocolia. Kiana stripped her of the authority to join the military because her ambition was too great.
But Kiana allowed her to continue serving as the Director of the Cocolia Orphanage and immigrate to Xianzhou.
Thus, these fellow Earth natives all gained the status of Warahip civil servants.
Of course, Kiana would also support them if they wished to start their own businesses.
