Making Honkai Impact 3, my partner is the fairy Ellie

But the citizens controlled by the Ruler Lady seemed not to hear anything, and Rosalia's little hand reaching out for help was drowned in the sea of ​​people. Noticing the countless faint threads in the sky above the crowd, Xia Yuan shouted loudly to Lilia who rushed into the crowd:

"Lilia, look carefully. There are many imperceptible threads above them. That is the ability of the Ruler of Rule to control them. If we can cut them all off, we should be able to release the other party's control."

"Leave it to Lilia."

At this moment, Lilia showed her strength as the [Orphanage Sword Master]. When she was about to come into contact with the crowd, she had already accumulated enough strength, and the Swan Lake in her hand burst into a dazzling blue light.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Yuan grabbed Rosalia's little hand and rescued her from the collapsed crowd.

"Thank you, uncle. I'm finally saved. I thought I would never see you and Lilia again."

Rosalia, who was rescued from the crowd, had tears in her eyes. She looked at Xia Yuan in front of her and threw herself straight into his arms.

Xia Yuan comforted him softly: "Okay, okay, it's okay now."

"Stupid Rosalia, who told you to rush straight into the crowd like that?" Before the vodka girls could reunite and reminisce about the past, the thread that had been cut by Lilia showed signs of reviving again and a large number of imaginary dolls emerged from the ground around them.

"careful!"

He could clearly feel that these puppets were not on the same level as the citizens that Miss Ruler had just controlled.

"Don't worry, my subordinate uncle, Rosalia was just careless just now. I want to show you the true strength of the Vodka Girl~"

Rosalia clenched her fists and prepared to perform well in front of Xia Yuan. When the time came, sister Bronya and sister Seele would definitely praise her after knowing that she had saved the uncle. So... she raised [Sleeping Beauty] and slashed towards the sky above the imaginary doll.

bah—

With a loud and crisp sound, Rosalia was knocked back.

"so hard!"

"It's much harder than before. Even Swan Lake can't cut it. Rosalia, my subordinate brother, let's retreat for now."

Lilia and Rosalia wanted to retreat back to Xia Yuan's side to cover him as he rushed into the encirclement, but the Ruler Lady would not give them such an opportunity, and the puppets that emerged rushed forward.

"My body... my body is out of control?! [Uncle Subordinate] Get out of the way!"

Rosalia swung the [Sleeper] and rushed towards Xia Yuan in a continuous rotation. Lilia wanted to stop her but found herself restricted in place and unable to move. Fortunately, Xia Yuan realized the danger in time and rolled to the side.

"No, Rosalia is almost dying, she's going to faint..."

The girl continued to spin, clearing a path for the surrounding puppets. When she fainted with stars above her head, she shouted to Xia Yuan: "Uncle, run quickly, find Bronya and Seele to help. Don't worry about us. The Vodka Girl will not fall down easily!"

But before she could finish her words, Rosalia collapsed next to the pile of dolls and couldn't get up because she had spun too many times.

"...Hmm, this idiot, [Subordinate Brother] please leave here as soon as possible before the puppets reassemble. Lilia can't act now, so someone must bring the enemy intelligence to Sister Bronya and the others."

Looking at Lilia's determined eyes, although Xia Yuan was reluctant, he knew that this was his only chance.

Holding tightly the lady of the Herrscher of Corrosion who was clinging to the typewriter, Xia Yuan, with the help of Rosalia and Lilia, broke out of the encirclement of the Herrscher of Domination, but the city was full of the opponent's spies, and it seemed that his every move was under her guidance.

Hua Hua Hua——

Unexpected changes happen all the time. The clear sky suddenly became gloomy...and it started to rain heavily.

"Brother, the road is slippery in the rain... Be careful not to slip. If you fall down, we will feel bad for you. Why don't you stop and take a rest? How about we have a cup of coffee and have a good chat?"

[Big brother, please stop~]

【Big brother, are you tired? 】

Behind Xia Yuan, at least five puppets controlled by Miss Ruler were repeating this sentence, as if they were playing the game of "cat and mouse" to drive away their prey.

Xia Yuan didn't dare to look back, let alone stop to breathe...

He could only run forward as far as he could. The laughter of the Lady Ruler behind him kept irritating his nerves. It was really terrible. The cold rain kept hitting Xia Yuan's body, but the Eclipse Treasure in his arms was not stained by a single drop of rain.

wow-

There was another loud thunder in the distance, and the gray sky was split in half by the flashing lightning.

The rain gradually changed from beads to a curtain wall. Looking at the lightning in the sky... countless thoughts arose in Xia Yuan's mind. If he could have the power of the Herrscher of Thunder now, he wouldn't have to be chased so miserably by Miss Herrscher of Domination, right?

As I ran, I didn't know when I arrived in the suburbs.

"This is a forest?!"

When did he start to deviate from the path? Could it be that the Ruler of Rule had been deliberately leading him from the beginning? But even if he lost his way, he still couldn't stop.

whoosh-

Perhaps Miss Ruler had lost her patience, or perhaps she had had enough fun.

She threw Lilia's weapon towards Xia Yuan as if it were a spear. He could clearly hear the sound of [Swan Lake] passing through him and tearing the air.

"Stop, big brother. This is the last warning. Next time, this sword will shoot at your knee. But please don't worry. Even if your knee is hit by a sword, when you become our companion, Lily can help you reattach any style you like~"

"unnecessary......"

The threatening voice from the Ruler-lady came from not far behind.

He didn't like any style. In fact, even if the other party didn't warn him, he would soon be unable to run. This was already his limit... The clothes soaked in the rain seemed like shackles restricting his body, pressing Xia Yuan so that he couldn't move.

"?!"

His feet suddenly slipped, causing Xia Yuan to fall heavily into the mud.

Listening to the approaching footsteps of Miss Ruler of Law in the rain, the exhausted Xia Yuan gave up struggling and resisting. He was so tired that he just wanted to close his eyes and hope that everything he discovered was just his nightmare.

Chapter 444 Mei, am I going to die soon?

Perhaps when he wakes up, his boss Bronya will still be lying beside him.

But the physical fatigue and exhaustion made Xia Yuan realize that what he was experiencing at this moment was not his dream, but reality...

The sound of chaotic footsteps approaching in the rain, maybe this is the sound of his final countdown? But why didn't Miss Ruler use Lilia and Rosaria to threaten him to surrender? Or is there a limit to her power?

But the current situation did not allow Xia Yuan to think too much, as he could not save himself.

What would happen to him if he fell into the hands of the Ruler Lady... Would he become one of them? Or would he be imprisoned in the Domination Theater and be exploited day after day, year after year, just like what happened in the alley?

Sudden--

Several flashes of lightning streaked across the night sky. Even though Xia Yuan covered his eyes with his hands, he could still feel the lightning. In the gaps between the lightning and thunder, he seemed to vaguely hear the sound of some swords being swung and puppets rolling in the mud...

It was not until Xia Yuan felt a round object appear beside his arm that it turned out to be the little head of the puppet controlled by the Lady of the Ruler that rolled to his side. She was still able to speak, and looked indignantly at a figure wrapped in a cloak not far away.

How could she possibly forget the other person? She would definitely repay the other person a hundredfold for the humiliation she had suffered in the past.

【Raiden Mei?!】

[I was so close to catching Big Brother, damn it, he came to ruin my plans again. I had blocked the Internet and even controlled a large number of citizens in the city, how did he find this place?! ]

[Could it be that the little girl who sneaked out of the closet told the secret? ]

[What are the other individuals sent out for? They can't even catch a little girl. ]

[But it doesn’t matter~]

[This situation is good news for her now. ]

The Ruler Lady manipulated the remaining puppet's head and deliberately closed her eyes, pretending to be dead to deceive Raiden Mei, waiting for a chance to attack her. Opportunities always come to those who can wait~

Just as Aunt Mei was about to check on Xia Yuan's condition from a closer distance, Miss Ruler of Law, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly opened her eyes and smiled excitedly and joyfully at the other person's back that was exposed to her.

Although she really wanted to control Mei, she kept ruining her plans.

Not only did she once prevent me from dominating Kiana, but now she is preventing me from turning my older brother into a companion. She is too much of a nuisance.

【Goodbye, Raiden Mei! 】

The Ruler Lady suddenly attacked, and an imperceptible thread controlled Rosalia's weapon [Sleeping Beauty] and threw it towards Aunt Mei who was completely unprepared. As long as she could hit the target... the opponent would forever become a sleeping beauty and would never wake up again.

"What is this feeling?!"

Xia Yuan could feel a hard silk thread passing through his fingertips inadvertently. When the thunder and flashes in the sky weakened a little, Xia Yuan tried hard to open his eyes, and the scene before him made his pupils tremble suddenly.

A pink sword was attacking Mei at an extremely fast speed, but the opponent's attention was always on him at the moment, and he did not notice the backup plan left by the Ruler of Herrscher.

Xia Yuan tried hard to stand up from the mud, and pulled Mei aside the moment she was about to bend down to check on her condition. However, he was too exhausted to dodge, and could only rely on his hands to resist the [Sleeping Beauty] that was thrown at him.

"Mr. Xia Yuan?!"

"Big brother!?"

As the ruler of a collective of thousands of malicious people, Miss Herrscher never expected that Xia Yuan would stand up. She wanted to completely get rid of Raiden Mei, but she didn't want to get rid of her big brother, because the other party wanted to become her companion.

【Damn! 】

Miss Ruler of Law couldn't help but look a little annoyed and anxious. She had thrown it with all her might, and now she had to use the silk thread to slow it down as much as possible. When the blade was about to reach Xia Yuan's chest, Sleeping Beauty finally stopped and fell on the wet ground.

[It was a close call. I almost gave my big brother...]

There was no time for Miss Herrscher to breathe. When Aunt Mei realized that there was still a puppet that had not been cleaned up, a flash of lightning appeared and a sword blade fell from the sky and pierced through the opponent, causing Miss Herrscher to completely lose the ability to think.

thump—

At the same time, Xia Yuan, who had escaped the disaster, fell heavily into the mud.

Now, Xia Yuan understood that what the Lady Herrscher of Knowledge said about the black spot on his forehead was not a lie, and the sword was about to penetrate his chest.

Hearing the noise behind her, Aunt Mei, who had put her knife back at her waist, hurriedly helped Xia Yuan, who was lying in the mud and unable to move. Looking at the scars on his hands and the blood oozing from his chest, an inexplicable feeling of sadness surged in her heart.

It was clearly little Greyshut who asked me to save Mr. Xia Yuan... but in the end I was saved by him. How am I going to explain this to little Greyshut later? It was all my fault for being too careless.

Xia Yuan raised his head weakly and said softly: "Mei... I'm glad to see that you are not hurt."

"Mr. Xia Yuan, please stop talking for now."

"Heh~ I always feel that your voice is particularly gentle now, Mei. If only you could talk to me like this before, ahem... OK, it's so cold, Mei, am I going to die?"

"Idiot, I won't let anything happen to you."

She now understood why Bronya called the other person an idiot and why she stood in front of her without caring about her own safety.

"No, the body temperature is too low..."

Perhaps the influence of the potion still remained in the body. The fingertips under the cloak lightly touched the other person's forehead, and then quickly retracted. Aunt Mei untied her cloak and wrapped it tightly around Xia Yuan.

Mei's body temperature still remained on the cloak, making Xia Yuan feel a little warm.

"He should be saved, right?"

But how did Mei know he was here? Xia Yuan had many questions in his mind and wanted to ask her, but Mei stopped him softly.

"I know you still have a lot of questions in your mind, Mr. Xia Yuan, but we are not out of danger yet. Based on my understanding of the Ruler of Domination, he will definitely not give up and will continue to send more puppets. We should not stay here for long.

Chapter 445 Mei, old aunt? !

"Mr. Xia Yuan, can you still take temporary action now?"

Feeling the weakness in his calves, the numbness in his hands, and the burning pain in his chest, Xia Yuan shook his head bitterly. He didn't know how long he had been running under the pursuit of Miss Ruler of Law... Then he felt his body suddenly lighten.

"Mei, what are you doing?"

Xia Yuan asked in a panic, only to see Aunt Mei holding him in her arms like a princess.

"While the Ruler of Domination is not chasing us... take Mr. Xia Yuan and leave here as soon as possible to reunite with little Gray."

It was little Grayshu? But why did Grayshu know where he was? It seemed that he could only ask her face to face later. But now he had something more important to do.

"Um, Mei, can you try holding me in a different way? For example, hold me on your back. It always feels a little weird when you hold me like this."

He is already such a grown-up, but he always feels awkward and a little embarrassed when Mei holds him in a princess hug.

"What? Mr. Xia Yuan, are you shy, or are you afraid that Bronya will laugh at you?

"Don't worry, I won't tell Bronya about this. Just keep it as a little secret between the two of us. Of course, the premise is that you, Mr. Xia Yuan, hold me tight, adjust your breathing, wrap yourself tightly in your cloak, and try not to let your body temperature continue to lose. Promise me, okay?"

Looking at Aunt Mei's eyes that were playful yet caring, Xia Yuan couldn't help but glance away, not daring to look at her. He nodded gently and said "hmm".

Is this still Aunt Mei who once electrocuted me?

What's going on with this tender feeling? It's a bit too foul...

After obtaining Xia Yuan's consent, Aunt Mei took Xia Yuan, who was unable to walk, and ran quickly towards the city before the Ruler of Rule sent out the puppet. She had to reach a safe area in the city and reunite with little Gray before the other's body became hypothermic.

She would not let the other party fall here, otherwise she would not be able to look directly into her own heart, let alone face Bronya.

Perhaps recalling the past memories, Xia Yuan's figure gradually overlapped with that of Padofils. Mei hugged Xia Yuan tighter, as if trying to maintain the other's body temperature with her body temperature as much as possible.

I didn't expect that the potion I drank would actually work and come in handy in such a situation.
