"This is ridiculous!" Wu Qiu threw the stick to the ground. An hour had passed, and Wu Qiu's hands were blistered, but the wood was only smoking and not catching fire.
He raised his foot to kick the wooden plank in front of him. But after feeling the cool breeze and glancing at the menacing mosquitoes around him, Wu Qiu obediently went to drill into the wood.
This time, Wu Qiu exerted a lot of force; his hands were almost blurry. The wooden stick spun wildly, and the wooden board began to smoke, almost sparking.
"Almost there, almost there! Light the torches!!!!"
However, that didn't happen. Wu Qiu's hands were already sore, and her strength and speed had involuntarily decreased. Just when it seemed that she was about to fail again, another slender hand reached out with some dry grass.
Wu Qiu didn't understand, but he soon discovered that the hay slowly started to burn under the heat generated by Wu Qiu's friction, and in the end, it was ignited very easily.
"It's a success! It's a success..."
Wu Qiu threw down the stick and shouted with delight at the sight of the burning hay. But he quickly realized something was wrong.
Cold sweat broke out instantly. Wu Qiu stiffly turned his head little by little, and then he saw Ying sitting not far behind him, smiling at him.

"ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Chapter Six: This Day, A New Journey Begins
Wu Qiu's screams were so loud and agonizing, it was as if she had seen a ghost. Ying had been smiling, but when she heard Wu Qiu's horrific screams and saw his face, which looked like he had seen a demon, she couldn't help but shrink back and cover her ears.
After Wu Qiu's voice faded, Ying opened her eyes and found that Wu Qiu had retreated to a place ten steps away, hiding behind a rock and peeking out at her.
"You, you, you, you..." Wu Qiu stammered for a long time, unable to finish a single sentence. Ying, seeing this, knew that she had probably caused too much psychological trauma to Wu Qiu.
"Hello, my name is Ying. Don't worry, I won't attack you anymore."
Hearing her voice, Wu Qiu finally relaxed a bit, thinking to herself, "Hmm—her voice is gentle and harmonious, her tone is apologetic, and her smile is very sincere."
"Hmm, Ying is behaving very gently and approachably right now, so there shouldn't be any problems."
As she spoke, Wu Qiu emerged from behind the rock and slowly moved towards Ying. Once beside her, Wu Qiu sat down somewhat nervously and gave her a knowing smile.
And then...and then an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
Suddenly! Ying reached out her hand to Wu Qiu.
"What are you doing?!"
Wu Qiu was so startled that she almost fell backward. Ying was taken aback for a moment, then smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, your face..."
"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively at the time, but don't worry! I will find herbs to treat you, and you will not be disfigured."
Wu Qiu's face is much better now after some treatment, but it's still a bit swollen. Ying knows this was all caused by her, so she expressed some apology.
"You mean this? Oh, it's alright, I understand. After all, you just lost a loved one..."
......................................................
Guys, I messed up. I said the wrong thing. Do you think she'll believe me if I tell her I misheard?
You know that?!
Ying grabbed my arm immediately. I quickly said, "No, no, no, I don't know anything."
But Ying completely ignored what I said and continued to say to herself, "I knew it. Although I don't know how long I've been sealed, it must have been a very long time."
“But you know me, and you know my name.” Ying lowered her head in thought, then quickly looked up at Wu Qiu with burning eyes. “Do you know where my brother is?”
Wu Qiu hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I don't know, I, I..."
How can I explain this? A guess? I don't even believe that myself.
But seeing Ying's expectant eyes, Wu Qiu knew he had to give an explanation. But how could he possibly explain it?
"daydream……"
"Yes! Sleep talking! I accidentally overheard you talking while you were asleep!"
I could clearly feel that Ying's excitement subsided. The hope in her eyes was slowly fading, and her grip on Wu Qiu's hand was gradually loosening.
"That's right, I acted impulsively."
Ying's obvious disappointment made Wu Qiu feel terrible. But he didn't know where the empty space was, since the game hadn't been updated to that point yet.
Moreover, Wu Qiu was also very glad that his reasoning had loopholes, such as how he knew Ying's name before Ying fell into a coma.
Fortunately, she didn't notice. The two of them returned to calm, and no one spoke again.
In fact, Wu Qiu hated this kind of situation. The two of them were sitting right there, and they knew they should say something to ease the awkwardness, but they just didn't know what to say.
Finally, Wu Qiu couldn't hold back any longer. "Don't be sad. Your brother is definitely looking for you too. You'll meet again someday."
Ying didn't speak, but sat there with her arms around her knees and nodded. Wu Qiu felt that this was just awkward small talk.
"Actually, I'll tell you a secret: I actually come from another world."
Finally, Wu Qiu's words caught Ying's attention. Because she also came from another world, she was very interested in this topic.
She raised her head, looking at Wu Qiu with curious eyes, waiting for him to continue.
Wu Qiu certainly couldn't tell her about what was happening on Earth, because she probably wouldn't believe him anyway. So Wu Qiu demonstrated his powerful brain capacity and his familiarity with various resources.
"Actually, I am a Super Saiyan warrior from Nebula M78. I have been exceptionally talented since I was a child. At the age of six, I awakened my martial spirit and became a user of the Gum-Gum Fruit."
"Later on, I traveled through space and became the overlord of the universe, until I came to Earth and encountered a bald demon king who knocked me out with one punch."
"From then on, I fell to this place, lost my power, and became an ordinary person who was as useless as could be."
Wu Qiu spoke with considerable seriousness. Ying's eyes showed surprise, but even more so, suspicion.
"I have a feeling... you're lying to me!"
"How could that be?" Wu Qiu waved his hand. "Do you want to hear the details? I'll tell you about my past, and then you'll believe me."
So Wu Qiu combined Japanese anime like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Dragon Ball, and One-Punch Man with Chinese anime like Douluo Continent, Battle Through the Heavens, and The King's Avatar, and forced them all onto his persona.
Not only that, Wu Qiu also added scenes involving Ultraman, Godzilla, and the Avengers to some of the sequences. He was so engrossed in his performance that he almost believed it himself, and he kept regretting provoking that bald-headed demon king.
"Sigh~ In the final battle, I fought a life-or-death struggle with the bald demon king, and then guess what happened?"
Ying was completely captivated by Wu Qiu's story. She was now lying on the straw bed, swinging her legs, resting her chin on her hand, and blinking her big eyes as she looked at Wu Qiu, asking, "What happened? What happened? Did you win?"
Wu Qiu sighed, as if he were genuinely regretting it: "I lost, I lost terribly. I unleashed a barrage of punches and a barrage of attacks, but all I got was to sober him up."
"Once that bald demon king wakes up, one Thunder Crack will knock me down."
As he finished speaking, Wu Qiu even wore an expression of disbelief. He might not have believed it at other times, but at this moment, he truly believed it.
"hey-hey……"
Seeing Wu Qiu's grief-stricken expression, Ying chuckled softly.
"Hey, I've been defeated, why are you laughing so happily so quickly?"
Wu Qiu was annoyed. Ying waved her hand and smiled at Wu Qiu, "You're lying to me, aren't you? Just to make me happy."
Wu Qiu was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "Yes, as expected, I couldn't fool you."
Ying wasn't stupid, and Wu Qiu had long known he couldn't fool her. But Wu Qiu still did it, because in his heart it wasn't to deceive Ying, but to make her happy.
"Why? We've only just met, and I feel like you're being a little too concerned about me."
Ying asked curiously. Wu Qiu fell silent. "Yeah, what am I doing this for? To make her like me, so she can protect me, and not just become my woman?"
No. Wu Qiu was certain it wasn't because of that, because he hadn't actually thought about those things at all.
"You should start your journey now, right? Searching for your blood relative. You'll look for him, care about him, worry about how he is, and miss him, right?"
Ying wasn't too surprised and nodded to indicate that she was right.
"This feeling must be very uncomfortable, right?"
Wu Qiu asked again. Ying nodded again.
Of course, I'm sad and worried about my brother's whereabouts being unknown, and these emotions obviously won't make me feel better.
For the first time, Wu Qiu raised his head so seriously and looked at Ying so intently. "But that is something I long for but cannot have."
Ying's pupils contracted slightly. Wu Qiu spoke again, "What's it like to have family, to have blood relatives? In this world, who should I look for? Who should I worry about? Who should I miss?"
The last thing Wu Qiu didn't say was that since finding Yinghou, he had gone from initial joy to feeling empty.
Wu Qiu realized something: his future seemed uncertain. He didn't feel that way before he found Ying, because at that time he had a goal: to find Ying or Kong.
But this goal is clearly too easy to achieve. And then what? Just follow her and live like that for the rest of your life? Or get killed by a monster someday?
"So, Sister Ying, at least you have family, don't you?"
Ying nodded, and after a few seconds of silence, extended her hand to Wu Qiu. "I don't know your past, but I know we're in similar situations now. If you don't know where your future lies, would you like to come with me on this journey?"
In the gentle light, Ying's smile was beautiful, as if an angel had descended to earth to purify the darkness of the world.
But none of that is the most important thing. The most important thing is...
"Okay! Sister Ying, you said it yourself, so you have to protect me from now on."
I'm so happy! All that emotional stuff finally worked! I've been waiting for you to say that. I've finally managed to latch onto this big shot. It wasn't easy.
Ying looked at Wu Qiu, who was holding her hand and shaking it repeatedly with a grin on his face, and knew that she had been tricked.
"Well, you are! I never expected that someone who looks so honest and timid could be so wicked."
Ying grabbed Wu Qiu and pinched his ear. Wu Qiu stood his ground for once, "Hey, hey, hey! Sister Ying, hitting me won't help. I'm sticking with you for life, the kind you can't shake off."
Although Ying was hitting Wu Qiu, she had a smile on her face, because she could tell that what Wu Qiu said was definitely not just for emotional appeal. Perhaps, it was his deepest feeling, and he was just using this opportunity to express it and give himself some relief.
Wu Qiu didn't know what day it was or what time it was. But he wanted to remember this moment, to remember everything that happened right now.
Because at this moment, his brand new life and new journey began.

"Sister Ying, this is for you. This is my family heirloom. It has the effects of warding off disasters, exorcising evil spirits, and protecting the wearer."
Wu Qiu presented the meteor pendant, which he had just acquired and hadn't even had a chance to warm up, to Ying. Ying picked up the pendant, looked at the small stone tied to it by vines, and said, "Is this really your family heirloom? I feel like you're lying to me again."
"Oh, how could that be? I'm very honest, how could I lie to people?"
Ying still didn't believe it. Wu Qiu then took the necklace and put it around his neck, saying, "Don't worry, don't worry, with my family heirloom protecting you, I'll ensure your journey goes smoothly from now on."
Ying didn't care whether it was a real family heirloom or not. She reached out and rubbed the stone, then looked up and said, "Okay, thank you, Xiao, Qiu, Zi."
