My and Their Anime-Style Otherworldly Survival Adventure

Jiu Xiao stared at the parody video on the screen, both amused and exasperated. The video was clearly edited and dubbed; what was originally a serious interview had been twisted into a dramatic love triangle. And the worst part was, Xiao Muzheng and Fate were both just little girls! Didn't you feel any remorse for making such a joke?

Jiu Xiao shook his head helplessly, thinking that netizens these days are really getting more and more creative. He wondered which genius taught him to edit like this. Sure enough, the comments section was filled with countless complaints about Jiu Xiao's loli (censored) fetish.

Faced with the false accusations from netizens, Jiu Xiao angrily turned off the video. But then he thought about what he had always done to Fate, and his confidence instantly deflated... So what if he's a loli fanatic? Faced with such an adorable Fate, he simply couldn't resist her!

A few more days passed, and the system finally responded, informing Jiuxiao that the coordinates of the Black Bullet world would be located in three days. Upon receiving this news, he immediately told Fate to prepare to return to that world in three days.

Fate was overjoyed to hear this, but also a little reluctant. After spending time together, she and Koki had become quite close. Jiuxiao also felt a pang of worry for Koki. The course of history in this world had been drastically altered by Jiuxiao; the Tokyo area was already under construction of a "megalith," four or five years ahead of the original timeline. He wondered if his parents could escape the Tiantong family's revenge. Through their time together, he had discovered that the Tiantong couple were very kind people.

"Fate is going back to that world soon, but don't be sad. She'll definitely come back someday. Let's think about what to bring back with us."

Fate thought for a moment and said, "We have already purchased a lot of food, clothing and other necessities. It would be great if we could get some power generation equipment over there."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in agreement, saying, "Great idea! Power generation equipment is indeed something we urgently need, especially those portable solar panels and batteries, which are both practical and easy to carry. Tonight, I'll ask Uncle Tian Tong if we can purchase a batch of advanced solar panels through his family's channels, and we'll also buy a few wind turbines."

Fate asked with some concern, "But, Brother Jiuxiao, can your personal space hold so many items?"

Jiu Xiao slapped his forehead, realizing he'd forgotten something so important. His system space was already overflowing with all sorts of supplies, leaving no room for the power generation equipment. He thought for a moment and said, "We can buy a house and store the equipment there. Then we can open the portal to different worlds inside the house and move everything over."

"Brother Jiuxiao, do we have enough money to buy a house here? We got over 200 million yen from selling gold last time. After spending some money on supplies, we only have less than 200 million yen left. Houses here aren't cheap, are they?"

He thought about it and realized that buying a house in the port area for 200 million was definitely unrealistic, but it was possible in other places.

"Sigh, I'll ask the Tiantong couple tonight. If all else fails, we can sell some jewelry. We definitely need a house; we can't keep living under someone else's roof until we bring Xiaoyuan and Sania over."

Having made up his mind, Jiuxiao told Tiantong and his wife that evening about their plan to leave Tokyo in a few days, as well as their intention to purchase power generation equipment and buy a house.

Upon hearing this, a hint of reluctance flashed in Tomoya Tendo's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled, "Kyusho, are you leaving already? I'm really a little reluctant to see you go. But with the chaos of war and transportation being so inconvenient, where are you planning to go?"

Jiuxiao made up a reason: "We're planning to go to Osaka to visit some relatives there. We haven't been able to contact them since the Gastrea Wars, so we're going to try and find them. Don't worry, we'll be back. So we're thinking of buying an apartment here. Uncle Tiantong, do you have any connections?"

Chapter 77 Water that is too clear has no fish

Tomoya Tendo hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's not talk about buying it or not. Your 'megalith' idea has earned Tendo so much wealth and prestige. My father plans to give you a vacant villa under his name as a token of his gratitude for your contributions. I was planning to talk to you about this in the next few days, but I didn't expect you to be preparing to buy a house so soon. The villa is located near Waseda University in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Although it's not in Minato Ward, it's still very convenient to get to."

Upon hearing this, Jiuxiao asked in confusion, "They've gained so much wealth and prestige? Did the Tiantong family win the 'Giant Stone Tablet' construction project?"

Tomoya Tendo smiled and nodded: "Yes, as the saying goes, 'being near the water tower, one gets the moon first.' As an influential clan in the Tokyo area, and since this proposal was made by you, the family has been closely monitoring the progress of this project. Leveraging our family's resources and connections, we successfully secured the construction rights for this project. It must be said that this was indeed a wise decision. With the advancement of the 'Metalstone' project, the Tendo family's reputation and wealth have been enhanced like never before."

Jiuxiao thought to himself, since it was just fleecing the capitalists anyway, it was just a drop in the ocean compared to the profits of Tiantong's family, so why not take it?

So he didn't refuse too much and said with a smile, "Since it is the Tiantong family's kind offer, then we will accept it with respect. We are very grateful for the Tiantong family's generosity; this villa is truly a godsend for us."

Tomoya patted Kushou on the shoulder and laughed heartily, “King Kushou, you’re too kind. You’re not only our savior, but the ‘Megalith’ project you proposed has saved countless lives. A villa is nothing compared to everything you’ve done for us. As for the power generation equipment you asked for, it was a private gift from my uncle’s family. You saved my family’s life, so consider it a small reward.”

Jiuxiao nodded without refusing; he could accept the offer.

Next, Tomoya Tendo gave Jiuxiao a detailed introduction to the villa, including its location, size, and interior facilities. Jiuxiao listened attentively, nodding frequently, and was very satisfied with the villa. According to Tendo's description, he only needed to bring his bags and move in. With this villa, he would have a place to stay from now on.

The Tian Tong family was extremely efficient; all the necessary procedures and documents were prepared by the afternoon of the second day. Furthermore, they very considerately paid for twenty years of property management fees, utilities, internet, and all other miscellaneous expenses for the villa, ensuring that Jiu Xiao and his group wouldn't have to worry about these trivial matters after moving in.

Accompanied by Tomoya Tendo, Jiu Xiao and Fite successfully completed the transfer of ownership of the villa and received the property certificate and keys. Walking out of the relevant authorities, Jiu Xiao was still a little excited. A villa worth hundreds of millions was given away so easily; the Tendo family was truly a wealthy and powerful family.

Another day passed, and the power generation equipment that Tomoya Tendo had helped purchase was delivered to Jiuxiao and the others' villa. He also thoughtfully arranged for technical personnel to teach Jiuxiao and the others how to assemble and perform basic maintenance, and even provided a video tutorial.

After making these preparations, it was time to say goodbye.

The next morning was the last day that Jiuxiao and Fate planned to spend in this world. They intended to leave the Tiantong family's house that evening, stay overnight at the villa in Shinjuku, and then travel back to that world early the next morning. It happened to be the weekend, and after breakfast, everyone sat on the sofa in the living room chatting.

Jiuxiao said to Xiaomugeng, "Xiaomugeng, starting tomorrow, your older brothers and sisters will no longer be able to take you to and from school."

Upon hearing this, Koki tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because we're leaving Tokyo tomorrow to take care of some things elsewhere."

A hint of reluctance flashed across Xiao Mugeng's face. She held Jiuxiao tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "Then... will my brothers and sisters come back to see me?"

Jiuxiao gently patted Xiaomugeng's head and comforted him with a smile, "Of course we will! Xiaomugeng is so cute, how could we bear not to come back? Once your older brothers and sisters have finished their business, they will definitely come back to see you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mugeng's eyes instantly lit up, like the brightest star in the night sky. She nodded vigorously, a radiant smile spreading across her face: "Yes! I believe you, brothers and sisters! Then you must keep your word!"

Fate added with a smile, "Don't worry, little Kisaragi, we'll definitely be back. Be a good boy and listen to your parents, and don't be naughty."

Xiao Mu nodded solemnly, as if making an important promise: "I will, Sister Fate! I will study hard, not let Mom and Dad worry, and wait for my brothers and sisters to come back."

Looking at Xiao Mu's more serious expression, Jiu Xiao felt a pang of self-reproach. He had a premonition that he would probably not be able to return here again for many years.

Watching this scene, Ayaka Tendo couldn't help but smile. She said with emotion, "Kyuu-kun, Fate-chan, thank you so much for taking care of Kokisara during this time. I can tell she's been very happy. Please come back as soon as you've finished your business. Our door is always open to you."

Jiuxiao smiled and nodded, his heart filled with even greater reluctance, yet he had no choice but to leave, for there were still people waiting for him in the other world. Before leaving, Jiuxiao called Tiantong Zhiye aside and said to him, "Uncle Tiantong, I want to say something to you that might not be pleasant to hear. Perhaps this is just my personal arrogance, but I hope you won't be angry, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Tomoya Tendou's expression turned serious. He nodded, signaling Kyusho to continue.

Jiuxiao took a deep breath and slowly said, "Uncle Tiantong, there's an old saying in China: 'If the water is too clear, there will be no fish.' Sometimes, pursuing purity and perfection too much can lead to losing more. Not everyone is as noble and upright as you, and being too incorruptible in certain aspects might make you too many enemies and create unnecessary trouble for yourself. Before making some decisions, I hope you can think more about your wife and Koki. Perhaps the Gastrea that attacked you on the way to Tokyo last time wasn't an accident."

Upon hearing this, Tomoya Tendo frowned slightly, his expression darkening. He remained silent for a moment, seemingly processing the implications of Jiuxiao's words, before slowly speaking: "Jiuxiao-kun, although I don't know what you know, I've remembered your words. Now that I think about it, as the head of the family, some of my past actions were indeed a bit rash, failing to fully consider the safety of my family. I will reflect on my behavior and make appropriate adjustments."

Chapter Seventy-Eight Absence Makes the Heart Blossom

Seeing that Tian Tongzhi wasn't angry and had listened to his opinion seriously, Jiu Xiao felt somewhat comforted. He continued, "Uncle Tian Tong, you are a respectable person, but there's an old Chinese saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' In this complex world, sometimes we need to be more tactful and adaptable. Of course, this doesn't mean abandoning principles and bottom lines, but rather learning to protect ourselves and those around us while adhering to our principles."

Tomoya Tendo nodded, his expression gradually softening as he smiled with relief. He patted Kusho on the shoulder and said, "I never expected to be taught a lesson by a young man like you. You are truly a force to be reckoned with. Kusho-kun, I will keep your reminder in mind and strive to change, for Koki and my wife, and for this family."

Seeing this, Jiu Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Tian Tong Zhi was a reasonable person, and as long as he stopped there, the other party would naturally understand. He smiled and said, "Uncle Tian Tong, you are too kind. I was just expressing some of my opinions. Whether they will be effective depends on you. I believe that with the happiness of Xiao Mu Geng and your wife as the goal, you will definitely be able to make the most suitable decision."

Tomoya Tendo nodded again, his eyes shining with determination. He turned to look at Kisara Tendo, who was playing with Fate and his wife, a gentle smile spreading across his face. This home was everything to him; he was willing to give everything for it.

After dinner, Jiu Xiao and Fate prepared to leave. Before leaving, they gave the Tian Tong family a spare key to the villa, asking them to have someone maintain it regularly. After returning to their villa in Shinjuku, the two carefully checked the supplies, making sure nothing was missing.

Early the next morning, Jiu Xiao excitedly opened the gate to the other world. A familiar light suddenly appeared, and the phantom of a gate gradually solidified, connecting the two different worlds.

Jiuxiao took a deep breath and turned to look at Fate.

"Fate, it's time to go home."

Fiti nodded, her eyes also filled with anticipation and excitement.

The two passed through the familiar gate, which this time opened near the lakeside campsite. Once outside, the familiar bamboo house came into view; everything seemed so peaceful and harmonious. Jiuxiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that he didn't immediately see Xiaoyuan and Sania.

"Brother Jiuxiao, I don't know how long this door can hold. Let's hurry up and move the supplies out of the villa."

Fate reminded him, gazing at the faintly glowing portal, her heart filled with emotion, which made him even more admiring and curious about Jiuxiao.

Jiuxiao nodded, and the two quickly returned to the villa, moving the pre-packed items to an open area near the bamboo house. After all the supplies were moved, the portal closed automatically. It was morning in the other world, but noon here.

At this moment, Xiaoyuan and Sania, who had heard the commotion outside, came out of the bamboo house. When they saw Jiuxiao and Fate, as well as the various supplies piled up on the open ground, their faces lit up with surprise.

Jiuxiao saw the two of them immediately. He opened his arms and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, my beloved concubines, I'm back! I've brought you a lot of good things!"

Xiaoyuan and Sania blushed upon hearing this, shyly lowering their heads, yet unable to resist stealing glances at Jiuxiao. They were utterly helpless against his frivolous behavior. Fate stood to the side, watching this scene with a warm smile on her lips.

“Jiuxiao, Fate, welcome home. I’m relieved to see you’re still as mischievous as ever,” Sania said coquettishly, her tone full of sweetness. She stepped forward, took Jiuxiao’s hand, and carefully examined him, as if to make sure he was alright.

Xiaoyuan also stepped forward, took Fate's hand, and said, "Welcome home, Fate, Jiuxiao-jun. You didn't encounter any danger over there, did you?"

Feeling the care and warmth from the two girls, Jiu Xiao felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He put away his playful mood and said to them seriously, "Yes, we're back. How were you? Did you miss me?"

Xiaoyuan and Sania exchanged a knowing smile, a sly glint in their eyes, and replied in unison, "We didn't miss you at all. It's Fate, on the other hand, we've been looking forward to her coming back every day!"

After they finished speaking, the two of them looked at Fate at the same time, their eyes filled with affection and fondness.

Fate felt a little embarrassed by their stares, her cheeks flushing slightly, but a warm feeling welled up inside her. She said softly, "Thank you, I missed you all too."

After she finished speaking, Fate was embraced by Madoka and Sania, one on each side. The three of them hugged each other tightly, like sisters who had been separated for a long time.

Jiu Xiao stood aside, watching this scene, feeling utterly heartbroken. The way they skillfully "ostracized" him was clearly pre-arranged. It seemed they harbored some resentment towards Jiu Xiao for leaving the two of them in this world.

Jiuxiao couldn't help but pretend to be jealous and said, "What about me? Am I an outsider now? I don't care, I want a hug too."

As he spoke, Jiu Xiao made a move to squeeze between the three of them. Xiao Yuan and Sania laughed even harder when they saw this. They pretended to push Jiu Xiao away with disgust, but they couldn't hide the smile in their eyes.

"Alright, alright, Jiuxiao, you've worked hard too. I'll let you hug me as much as you want later."

Sania joked with a smile, while giving Jiuxiao a reassuring look.

The group laughed and played around in the open space in front of the bamboo house for a while, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. Seeing that the time was right, the four of them went into the bamboo house together and began to organize the supplies they had just moved in.

Xiaoyuan and Sania were utterly astonished by Jiuxiao's miraculous ability to conjure supplies out of thin air. But once they learned it was magic, everything made sense. Magic is amazing, isn't it? In every sense of the word.

The group quickly rearranged the bamboo house, filling the once empty room with warmth and order. In particular, the large bed that Jiuxiao had specially prepared was very eye-catching in the bamboo house, and there was only one of its kind.

This is practically Sima Yi's intention, everyone knows it! Xiao Yuan and Sania could easily understand Jiu Xiao's ulterior motives. This big bed clearly indicates that Jiu Xiao wants to "sleep together," but only in a literal sense. No matter how ruthless Jiu Xiao is, he wouldn't do such a thing; after all, feelings need to be cultivated slowly, and can't be rushed.

After organizing the supplies, the group enjoyed a sumptuous lunch. With the various seasonings and ingredients that Jiu Xiao had brought from the modern world, the meal was naturally exceptional, much to the delight of Xiao Yuan and Sania, who praised Jiu Xiao as a hidden culinary master.

After dinner, Jiu Xiao kept trying to find an opportunity to be alone with either Sania or Xiao Yuan, hoping to ease his longing and also dispel any possible resentment they might harbor. However, Xiao Yuan and Sania seemed to have seen through his thoughts, always maintaining a delicate balance, intentionally or unintentionally, preventing Jiu Xiao from having the chance to spend too much time alone with either of them.

Jiuxiao felt quite helpless about this, but giving up like this wasn't in his nature. After wandering around the camp a few times, he noticed that the camp's water supply was almost empty. Suddenly, an idea came to him.

"Hey everyone, it looks like we're running low on water. Xiaoyuan, why don't you come with me to the lake to fetch some water?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyuan looked up at Jiuxiao, seemingly seeing through his little scheme, but still nodded shyly and agreed, "Okay, let's go now."

Sania watched from the side, a playful smile playing on her lips. She naturally understood Jiu Xiao's intentions. She had deliberately ruined his "good deeds" so many times already. If she didn't let him taste some sweetness soon, Sania was afraid that Jiu Xiao might get angry and... So she didn't point it out again, but simply reminded him, "You two be careful, the path by the lake is slippery, be safe."

"Don't worry, Sania, nothing will go wrong with me here."

Jiuxiao responded, while winking at Xiaoyuan, as if hinting at something.

Xiaoyuan's cheeks flushed instantly. She lowered her head and whispered, "Um... I understand."

The two carried several empty buckets, which Jiu Xiao had brought from the modern world, and walked along the winding path towards the lake. Along the way, Jiu Xiao occasionally tried to chat with Xiao Yuan, attempting to ease her slightly nervousness. Although Xiao Yuan's responses were somewhat stiff, when she occasionally looked up at Jiu Xiao, her eyes sparkled with an indescribable tenderness and shyness.

Seeing this, Jiu Xiao stopped pretending. He put the buckets in their hands back into his system space, pulled her half into his arms, and asked mischievously, "Little Yuan, have you missed me? I've missed you terribly for over a month."

Xiao Yuan was startled by Jiu Xiao's sudden intimate gesture, and her blush deepened. She gently pushed Jiu Xiao and said shyly, "Jiu Xiao, don't do this. We've only been apart for three days. Let's go get some water first, or Sania will be getting impatient."

Jiuxiao explained, "The flow of time is different in the two worlds. For me, it's been more than a month. Xiaoyuan, do you know? During this time, my mind is filled with images of you (and everyone else). I even dream about you when I sleep at night."

Jiu Xiao's words were like a devil's whisper, tickling Xiao Yuan's heart. She lowered her head, not daring to meet Jiu Xiao's burning gaze, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, and whispered, "I...I miss you too."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao was overjoyed. He tightly intertwined his fingers with Xiao Yuan's, as if he wanted to forever engrave this longing and warmth in her heart.

"Um, Jiuxiao-jun, walking like this isn't a good idea... you'll fall."

Xiao Yuan finally regained some composure and gently reminded him. Although her heart was pounding like a drum and her hands were slightly sweaty from Jiu Xiao's grip, she still tried her best to maintain a sense of composure.

Perhaps her words had come true. Just as Xiaoyuan finished speaking, Jiuxiao tripped over something, and the two of them lost their balance and tumbled to the side. But Jiuxiao reacted quickly, adjusting his position and pulling Xiaoyuan tightly into his arms. The two of them rolled together onto a soft patch of grass. Although they were a little disheveled, Jiuxiao's eyes were full of smiles. Looking at Xiaoyuan's panicked yet shy appearance, he felt a surge of sweetness in his heart.

"It seems that Xiaoyuan's wife is worried about her husband's safety. Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely not let you suffer the slightest harm."

"Jiuxiao joked, while gently patting the grass clippings off his body."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's cheeks turned even redder, almost as if they were about to bleed. She gave Jiu Xiao a reproachful look and said in a low voice, "Jiu Xiao Jun, you're just teasing me. Let's get up quickly, or it will get dark before we even get the water."

Jiu Xiao chuckled inwardly. Fetch water? Fetch my ass! He wasn't Liu Xiahui, with a beautiful woman in his arms. How could he be bothered by something as trivial as fetching water at a time like this? He flipped over and pinned Xiao Yuan to the lawn.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Xiaoyuan closed her eyes resignedly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, looking adorable as if she were ready to be picked.

Jiu Xiao didn't hold back and went for it without hesitation; after all, she was his wife... In an instant, their shadows intertwined, and Xiao Yuan's breath was taken away! A scorching breath washed over her, and their warm, burning lips pressed tightly together...

After a long while, their lips parted, and a long silver thread snapped in mid-air, dripping onto Xiao Yuan's slender neck under the influence of gravity. Faced with such a scene, how could Jiu Xiao, still a young chef, resist? He swallowed hard and stammered, "Just now, just now doesn't count. Right, right, I haven't replenished your mana for several days. Let's see if replenishing mana with a kiss is faster."

Jiuxiao stammered out a lame excuse; he didn't even know what he was trying to say...

After another round of replenishing her mana, Xiao Yuan, struggling to breathe, forcefully pushed Jiu Xiao away, gasping for fresh air. Her fragrant breath, like orchids and musk, patted Jiu Xiao's face, captivating him completely.

Having finally calmed her breathing, Xiaoyuan glared at Jiuxiao, slightly annoyed, and said reproachfully, "You promised to replenish my mana, but where's the mana? It was there the whole time...it was there the whole time, you're bullying me..."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao was extremely embarrassed. Given the scene just now, how could he possibly have had the time to replenish mana? He was just saying it casually; only a fool would believe him. Blinking innocently, Jiu Xiao shamelessly said, "Um, sorry, I forgot just now. How about we do it again?"

Enraged by Jiu Xiao's shamelessness, Xiao Yuan stretched out her delicate white hand and pinched his waist hard, causing Jiu Xiao to gasp in pain.

"Ouch! Be gentle, are you trying to murder your husband? You were clearly enjoying yourself just now... You've finished shaving yourself and now you don't want me anymore, ha, woman..."

Xiao Yuan clasped her hands together and murmured for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

Satisfied after teasing Xiaoyuan, Jiuxiao finally let her go. The two helped each other to their feet and continued walking towards the lake. This time, he was much more restrained, no longer as reckless as before, only occasionally teasing her with his eyes, leaving Xiaoyuan angry but unable to speak out.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Heartwarming Daily Life

Finally, the two arrived at the lake. The lake water was crystal clear, shimmering like a giant mirror. They filled several buckets with water, put them in their system space, and hurried back.

Back at camp, Sania looked at Jiuxiao and Xiaoyuan, who had returned empty-handed, with a suspicious expression. Jiuxiao understood immediately and took out a bucket full of water from his system space. He was met with a glare from Sania in return. "Good grief," she thought, "you didn't even bother to pretend. If you're so capable, you could have filled the bucket by yourself."

"You guys took a really long time to get this water. Were you bullying Xiaoyuan on the way here?"

"..."

Which pot should not be opened and lifted?

Jiuxiao remained silent, while Xiaoyuan's face was flushed crimson. She lowered her head deeply, wishing she could bury it in her flat breasts, looking as if she had confessed without being asked.
