Do you think this world is serious?

Seele and Anila fell asleep leaning against each other, while Delta slept on the cool tile floor in a rather unrestrained posture, though her sleeping face was very serene.

Grey became a substitute for a sleeping bag, tightly wrapping Delta in it and highlighting her not-so-full figure.

The crystal-clear toes curled slightly, as if trying to shrink into the gray body, but the gray body was not long enough to do so.

Chen Xiuming had just woken up and his thoughts were still groggy and confused, so he didn't immediately realize that something was wrong.

After a moment, his thoughts gradually returned to normal, and he belatedly realized that something was wrong.

—The bed has disappeared.

The beds formed by Honkai energy are all very standard, without any simplification in order to save Honkai energy.

After all, Chen Xiuming has Kiana of the End behind him. He may lack other things, but he will never lack Honkai energy.

"...It shouldn't have disappeared naturally."

With a slight sense, Chen Xiuming was able to confirm that the bed, which was shaped by Honkai energy, had not been unconsciously dismantled by him, but had instead entered Delta's stomach.

Even the four corners of the bed he was lying on had been bitten by Delta, and Delta's teeth marks were clearly visible.

According to Delta's own account, she has only completed the first stage of "evolution". Although she has made up for her physical defects, her extreme thirst for Honkai energy has not been resolved. She will no longer go berserk due to her desire for Honkai energy.

Or, to put it another way, the second stage of "evolution" is the process of replenishing Honkai energy. However, this stage requires a very large amount of Honkai energy, which is why she stayed in this stage for so long.

Honkai Beasts are nowhere to be found in this world bubble. Whenever a Honkai Beast is accidentally born, it is immediately preyed upon by nearby insect beasts, and Delta never gets a chance to be born.

Chen Xiuming dispersed the Honkai Energy Bed, then pushed open the door and went out, preparing to clear out the insect beasts a little further away, and search through the ruins of the now-broken building to find the food he urgently needed.

Chen Xiuming and Xier cannot feed on Honkai energy like Delta; they must rely on normal food to sustain their lives.

However, he has a very strong constitution, so missing a few days of meals won't have a big impact on him, but Seele can't do that.

Gana seemed to know that Chen Xiuming was looking for "food" for her, so she took the initiative to fly out of Chen Xiuming's shadow and hover lightly around him.

Chen Xiuming glanced at Janna's physical form and often felt that Janna's physical form and spirit were separate entities.

The spirit form was the Janna he knew very well, while the physical body was like a "small animal" without any intelligence. Janna simply controlled the actions of the physical body.

As if guessing Chen Xiuming's thoughts from his gaze, Janna explained, "This is because at this stage, I had not yet developed intelligence—my current strength has not recovered to the point where I can control both my spirit and my physical body at the same time."

In short, Janna's physical form is currently unable to accommodate spirits, but her fundamental nature remains unchanged; her physical form is still primarily composed of spirits.

When a spirit is close to Chen Xiuming, the physical body will also become close to Chen Xiuming.

Chen Xiuming wandered through the city ruins, deducing the type of building based on the remaining signs on the broken walls before deciding whether to search for it.

The city has been in ruins for several years, and most of the food has spoiled; only those that have been preserved for a longer period are still edible.

Chen Xiuming's goal was to find the food and some undamaged clothing.

Even if the clothes found are not suitable for Delta, they can still be reused.

Chen Xiuming was very fast at clearing out the insect beasts. As long as the insect beasts were within the range of his control over Honkai energy, he could accurately penetrate their cores.

Considering that Delta had said the insect beasts in the city center were more troublesome and difficult to deal with, he did not rush to the city center, but instead turned around and went to other areas to continue clearing out the insect beasts.

……

When Chen Xiuming returned to his residence, Xi'er had already woken up and obediently stayed in her room as instructed by Chen Xiuming.

With Delta nowhere to be found, Anila was relieved and returned to her black cat form, then snuggled into Seele's arms and dozed off.

"Where is Delta?"

Chen Xiuming controlled the Honkai energy sphere containing a large number of insect beast cores to land in the corner of the room, then turned his head to look at Seele, just in time to meet Seele's secretly observing gaze.

Seele lowered her head, feeling guilty and shy, not daring to look Chen Xiuming in the eye, and replied softly, "It seems that Sister Delta went out to find food."

Chen Xiuming made a soft nasal sound, then walked over and sat down next to Xi'er.

Xi'er carefully moved closer to Chen Xiuming, looking somewhat lost and sorrowful.

"Brother Chen Xiuming, this shouldn't be the world I used to live in, right?"

Although Seele has stayed in this room since she woke up, she can guess that the outside world must be more dangerous than the world she used to live in.

"Ah."

Chen Xiuming responded softly, then magically produced several cans of food, "Let's eat something first."

While clearing out the insectoid beasts, he found the ruins of a food warehouse.

Although most of the food in the warehouse was inedible, there were still many well-preserved canned goods, which he stuffed into the World Bubble and brought back.

Chapter 89 Delta: The feeling of being kept is undeniable.

Seeing Chen Xiuming magically produce several cans of food out of thin air, Xi'er was filled with amazement, and her gaze towards Chen Xiuming now held a hint of admiration.

Chen Xiuming was pleased with Seele's admiring gaze. He smiled silently and then asked Kiana to help start a fire to heat up the canned food.

While the canned food was being heated, Chen Xiuming took out another can of fruit and gave it to Xi'er to eat to tide her over.

"Brother Chen Xiuming, shouldn't we wait for Sister Delta to come back for dinner?"

Xi'er held the opened can of fruit and looked at Chen Xiuming with a puzzled expression.

Chen Xiuming ruffled Seele's hair and explained, "Delta's constitution is rather special, she can't eat normal food, and she should be back soon."

"Why will Sister Delta be back so soon?"

"..."

Chen Xiuming remained silent for a few seconds, then coughed lightly and continued to explain somewhat awkwardly, "Because I cleaned up all the food from Delta around here."

He threw the corpses of those insect beasts into the World Bubble, intending to bring them back directly to feed Delta, but he didn't expect that Delta would go out to forage for food after waking up.

If Delta isn't planning to venture further into the city to hunt insectoid beasts, she should be back soon.

Sure enough, almost as soon as Chen Xiuming finished speaking, Delta rudely pushed open the door.

"Chen Xiuming, we can't find any insect beasts nearby. Do you have any clues?"

Before she could finish speaking, Delta pounced on Chen Xiuming, pinning him to the bed. "I'm so hungry right now, can I eat you?"

Upon hearing this, before Chen Xiuming could even speak, Anila was suddenly startled and instantly transformed from a black cat into a girl with purple hair and gray eyes, cowering fearfully beside Xier.

Delta ignored Anila's reaction and looked at Chen Xiuming with anticipation. The distance between the two was extremely short, with only about two centimeters between their lips, and they could clearly feel each other's slightly hot breath.

The only drawback is that her figure is a bit thin; while not exactly plain, it doesn't reach the C-cup size either.

Chen Xiuming released Honkai energy, simply shaping it into a round cake for Delta to eat.

The moment Delta saw the Honkai Energy Cube, her attention was instantly drawn to it, and she happily grabbed it and began to devour it.

"Mmm... Chen Xiuming, your Honkai energy is really delicious!"

Seeing Delta's expression, like a child receiving a beloved toy, Chen Xiuming couldn't help but chuckle.

Although she had been wandering in this world where humanity had perished for a long time, Delta was clearly not mired in despair. On the contrary, her mindset had even regressed, becoming pure and innocent.

perhaps……

This is precisely why she was able to benefit from the fusion of the queen's genes despite the misfortune.

"Chen Xiuming, it seems that powerful insect beasts have evolved in this area. I've been searching for a long time but haven't found any weak insect beasts."

Delta's mouth was filled with Chen Xiuming's Honkai energy, but it did not affect her speech at all.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Chen Xiuming sent the corpse of an insect beast to fall in front of Delta, causing Delta to widen her eyes in surprise.

"Huh? The corpse of the insect beast appeared out of thin air?"

"This is one of my abilities; there exists a broken world within my body that can be used to store items."

"Well……"

Delta frowned slightly. Instead of picking up the insect beast's corpse and devouring it, she moved closer to Chen Xiuming and asked, "So you really are a 'god'?"

“I already said no.”

Chen Xiuming reached out and pinched Delta's cheek, saying irritably, "You should be able to sense that I'm a pure human, right?"

"really……"

Delta nodded, not resisting Chen Xiuming's affectionate gesture, but she still hadn't given up on her earlier idea.

—A broken world doesn't exist inside a normal human body.

Since Chen Xiuming was unwilling to be honest, she wouldn't press him for details. Instead, she retreated and devoured the insect-beast corpse.

Delta ate quickly and heartily, and since the insectoid beast's corpse wasn't very big, she soon devoured it completely, leaving not a trace.

The insect-beast's body is peculiar. Although it looks like a body of flesh and blood, there is no liquid inside. It is more like some kind of living "material".

After a creature entered her stomach, Delta's abdomen remained completely flat, as if her stomach were connected to an "other dimension."

Chen Xiuming extinguished the "Flame of the End" that Kiana had casually condensed, wrapped his hands in Honkai energy, picked up the heated can, and shaped the Honkai energy at his fingertips into small sharp blades, easily cutting open the can and releasing a steaming aroma.

He then used Honkai energy to create a table and placed the canned food in front of Seele.

"Delta, do you want to eat more?"

"want!"

Delta nodded vigorously, "As long as it's the corpse or core of an insect beast, I can basically eat it without limit until I evolve into a queen insect."

It's not that once you evolve to the level of a queen insect, you can't eat insect beasts anymore. Rather, at that level of evolution, eating insect beasts no longer provides any improvement; it only satisfies your appetite.

From Delta's perspective, the insect beasts taste pretty good because they contain the queen's genes, but they are nothing compared to Chen Xiuming's Honkai energy.

Chen Xiuming nodded silently, and the corpses of the three insect beasts instantly appeared beside Delta, making her eyes widen in surprise.

"I've basically killed all the insectoid beasts in the vicinity. The cores are piled up in the corner. Don't forget to eat them later."

"Uh-huh!"

Delta nodded repeatedly, a happy look on her face. "It feels so good to be 'kept'."

She really loved this kind of life, where she could devour the corpses and cores of insect beasts to her heart's content.

At this rate, she might complete the second stage of evolution soon and begin to look forward to the third stage.
