Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

Moreover, this is an academy in which all anti-Honkai organizations in the world have participated. Whether it is the Bishop of Destiny, the old friends in Anti-Entropy, or a group of juniors in [Chao Xian], they all know it very well.

After she brought up the matter herself, she realized that the fact that the child hadn't graduated for ten years was quite embarrassing for her and Su Qing'an.

Therefore, Fu Hua didn't want to let that idiot continue to muddle through. She really wanted him to know the school's rules and regulations and the joy of learning, and then try to work outside as a 996 working professional, so that when he looked back on his life from the past nine hundred years, he would feel that he was once incredibly happy.

She replied:

"Then let's leave it at that."

"Li Xue graduated from St. Freya five years ago, so we really can't spoil Xiao tide too much."

Cheng Lixue.

The child whom he had taken as his apprentice nine years ago had turned twenty-one in the blink of an eye.

Her aptitude wasn't particularly good, and even without the inner demons from her original timeline hindering her, after nearly ten years of cultivation, she only reached the Dustless Realm.

However, she is clever and hardworking, and quite talented in martial arts. She was even used as Su Qing'an's "test subject" to practice the new version of "Immortal Technique". In this era where the second collapse has not yet occurred, she is safe and sound. At present, she works in the department of [Chaoxian].

Cheng Lixue's existence was also a major reason why Fu Hua realized that she could no longer let Su Muxi slack off. Otherwise, in another ten years, based on the Valkyrie's average lifespan and service time, she would basically be at the age where she could retire.

In other words, if this child were to become a teacher at their alma mater and discover that a certain little feather had not yet graduated, they might question the teaching methods of their teachers.

Su Qing'an wholeheartedly agreed with this, and was already thinking about how to cut off the other party's internet, electricity, and food, and then urge the child to graduate successfully.

The reason he didn't care whether Su Muxi graduated or not was because he naively believed that the child would be beaten up in school, experience the hardships of life and the difficulties of learning, and thus strive to improve herself.

Unfortunately, Su Muxi chose to give up, and because she was very cute, she was treated as a mascot by St. Freya Academy, which was almost an all-girls school, and lived a very comfortable life.

However, once she loses her sense of taste, it's meaningless to provide Su Muxi with a lot of snacks. The feeling of falling from heaven to hell in an instant will definitely be unforgettable for her.

Once she thought of this, Su Qing'an felt a little more enjoyment in her boring daily life. She immediately took the hand of the person next to her, glanced at the coffee shop with its swaying wind chimes not far away, and said softly:

"let's go."

"Ah."

The words had just finished.

The two seemed to have fallen into a deep, uncharted land, their figures vanishing from sight.

...

...

At this moment, in a private hospital in the distance.

Lei Dian Long Ma picked up the flower basket scattered outdoors. It was full of pure white roses, emitting a light and beautiful fragrance. He forgot who had given him the gift. He only felt that the panic of becoming a father for the first time and the fear of losing his wife had disappeared without a trace.

All that remained in my chest was a lingering sense of joy and expansiveness.

The sunlight outside the window was just right, and the bright blue sky was dotted with a few wisps of clouds, seemingly foreshadowing a bright future.

Even the wind seemed free at this moment, swirling in from outside the window and falling into the room, stirring the roses in the flower basket. A few pure white petals rose and fell with them, then fell into his palm, soft and warm, making him dazed.

The portal is open.

Several doctors in surgical gowns came out and, smiling, announced the good news:

“Mr. Thunder, your wife and daughter are both safe.”

The man, momentarily stunned, revealed an uncontrollable joy. He thanked him and went inside.

My wife, whose health has never been good, showed no signs of weakness at this moment. Her face, now tinged with maternal love, was full of tenderness. She was leaning against the wall behind the hospital bed, holding her child in her arms, her cheeks glowing red in the sunlight.

She looked up at her husband, her lips parted slightly, and said with a smile:

"Dragon Horse".

"Let's name this child Mei."

Thunder Dragon Horse cautiously leaned closer, trying his best to see his newborn daughter's face clearly. He smiled, placed a rose petal from his palm into the baby's tiny hand, and whispered:

"Okay, from now on her name will be Mei."

"Raiden Mei".

The scale of time is slowly turning and fading away.

...

...

The dinner table.

The gray-haired, gray-eyed girl remained silent. She glanced at her master and mistress exchanging food, her senior sister cuddling with her, and Senior Xuan playing games with Little White in his arms—a lively scene. Then she turned her gaze back to Su Muxi, who was questioning her existence on the sofa in the distance, and wisely said nothing.

About five minutes ago, Su Qing'an piled up delicious food on the table, told Su Muxi about the extremely cruel punishment mechanism, and temporarily sealed her sense of taste for three hours in order to let her taste it. This resulted in the other party's current tearful appearance.

but……

To be honest, he deserved it!

As a junior who had studied with him at St. Freya Academy five years ago, Cheng Lixue knew all too well just how terrible his way of slacking off and how lazy he was at the academy.

She was quite serious and had no complaints about it, but after seeing her master and mistress properly educate him, she felt a little pity, followed by a sense of relief.

Well done! It should have been done a long time ago.

Otherwise, Sister Xiaoxi will eventually become a large, unrecyclable piece of trash. It will take her a very long time to realize that she is of no benefit to society, humanity, or even her family. She will have to doubt her own value, only to find that the time she has wasted is already enormous. Even if she feels extremely regretful about it, it will be too late to undo it.

Thus, amidst intense awakening, self-denial, and self-acknowledgment, she chose to abandon critical thinking and embarked on a completely new phase, entirely different from her previous chaotic state of stagnation.

That is—a complete awakening to the idea of ​​giving up!

Ultimately, he became a completely incorrigible person.

Cheng Lixue had foreseen this future five years ago.

Unfortunately, she also felt that Su Muxi, whose appearance never changed, was too cute and suitable as a mascot. From this point of view alone, she was reluctant to give her a slightly strict lecture, and this was even more true given their seniority.

Therefore, the girl has never been able to express her true feelings, and she still harbors hesitation and guilt about what would happen if Su Muxi became a useless person because of her lack of honesty.

Now that Su Muxi has been successfully punished, Cheng Lixue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that her master and mistress's education hadn't been a complete failure.

Of course, she herself knew that this was just her subconscious and common sense at play, and that she couldn't really measure the majority of people at this table.

Cheng Lixue knew her master's identity perfectly well.

The Crimson Iris Immortal.

This immortal being who resides in Taixu Continent is also known as the ancient guardian of the land, and frequently appears in history courses in compulsory education. He holds a remarkable and transcendent status throughout the world.

To be honest, it was something that even his parents, relatives, friends, and himself couldn't quite understand why such a high-ranking person would choose someone with mediocre talent like himself as a disciple.

After all, whether it's Honkai energy resistance or Honkai energy adaptability, those geniuses with natural Stigmata should be far superior.

Although her Honkai energy resistance reached 600HW without systematic training and cultivation, the index of Stigmata holders can exceed the threshold of 1000HW from birth. The subsequent elastic growth is also clearly pointed out in the scientific report shared within [Chaoxian], which shows that it has a different level and difference.

In addition, it has also been tested in terms of Honkai energy adaptability and controllability.

The most crucial aspect is that the Stigmata have a certain probability of possessing special abilities.

And when you look back at the people this immortal had supposedly guided in the past, this subtle feeling grows stronger with age.

In short, they were all the past leaders of the [Immortal Cult], almost all of whom possessed unique and outstanding talents in a certain field. In fact, throughout history, one-third of them were Saint Mark holders, and the remaining two-thirds were all geniuses who reached the Mirror Realm before the age of twenty.

Even so, Cheng Lixue occasionally learned from some documents of the Chaoxian sect and from the words of its seniors that her master had never been so kind and affectionate towards those sect leaders.

Compared to this, she always felt that she was worthless and even felt inferior.

However, these self-doubts that would have hindered the cultivation of the Taixu Sword Qi have all been washed away by the careful teaching and nurturing of the two in the past.

But doubts still remain.

Cheng Lixue guessed that part of the reason was a matter of first impression.

The perspective from which the master stands is beyond one's ability to measure or imagine. What she cares about and sees is also beyond one's ability to fathom or analyze. One should simply accept it without overthinking.

Of course, after becoming familiar with her to the point that she often came to this residence to eat and practice martial arts, she had a new guess. In the era when her master took Jiang as his disciple, she held a wedding with her grandmaster. She heard that the whole of China witnessed the scene that day and shared in the joy.

After that, Master Master seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep for some reason, only to truly revive in the last hundred years.

Cheng Lixue calculated the timeline and realized that she was the only disciple her master had accepted in the past hundred years.

On the other hand, during the gap between Senior Sister Jiang's awakening and Master's awakening, the disciples recruited in between seemed to be completing tasks routinely. Rather than a master-disciple relationship, it was more like a trial and training exercise for the sake of the quality of the sect leader of [Chaoxian].

So, does this mean that the reunion with his master caused a change in his master's state of mind, which led to the current situation?

In short, for these two immortal beings who can live forever and even keep their two senior sisters young, perhaps this kind of education model is indeed not a big deal. A long lifespan can always make up for the cost of wasting time.

But for Cheng Lixue, who becomes more mature and composed year by year, Su Muxi's unchanging nature sometimes evokes a myriad of emotions.

She didn't dislike her senior sister who always maintained a youthful and willful demeanor; in fact, she quite liked her.

only……

Whenever we clearly perceive the difference in lifespan between each other, we can't help but feel lonely.

Cheng Lixue understood that even hundreds of years from now, this place would still be a harmonious and warm scene.

But by then, I would probably no longer be alive.

She was not lamenting her differences from her masters, nor was she envying the so-called joy of immortality. She simply realized that those who would live on in the world almost forever would inevitably have to bear the departure and passing of their loved ones.

Even Xiaoxi, who seems the most carefree, must have experienced such suffering.

Once Cheng Lixue thought of this, she understood her master's previous attitude towards some disciples. For an ageless true immortal, being immersed in the mundane world might not be a bad thing, but if one gets too entangled in worldly affairs, it will sooner or later cause inner pain.

The Crimson Kite Immortal only needs to hold onto those threads that are destined to never break, so why provoke cause and effect that will eventually wear down and disappear?

That would ultimately be a losing proposition.

Since her master had chosen to take her as his disciple and even treated her as family, she didn't need to doubt whether she was worthy of his choice. She just needed to try her best to prove that his choice was not wrong.

"Standing in the snow?"

The calls of those around her pulled the girl back from her reverie. She looked at the pair of blue eyes that were looking at her, smiled, and said softly:

"It's alright, Master."

"I was just spacing out for a while."

This little incident faded away silently at the lively dinner table. A moment later, a girl whose sense of taste had been freed by Su Qing'an also joined the food competition, making the scene even more joyful.
