My and Their Anime-Style Otherworldly Survival Adventure

P.S.: Is this chapter a bit too cheesy?

Round 110-9 of Zhang Feite

Jiuxiao took out a piece of chocolate from the system space, unwrapped it, and handed it to Fate beside him: "Have some sweets to replenish your energy."

Fate blinked innocently, trying to reach out to take it, but Jiuxiao casually dodged her.

"Open your mouth, ah."

Fate paused slightly, then a blush crept onto her cheeks. She opened her mouth shyly yet expectantly. Jiu Xiao chuckled and precisely placed the chocolate into her mouth. At that moment, the sweet taste exploded on her tongue, seemingly dispelling much of the fatigue of the past few days. Fate wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that this chocolate was sweeter than usual.

Watching Fate nibbling on her chocolate, Jiu Xiao felt completely healed. Her gentle, obedient nature, like that of a small animal, was so natural that he couldn't help but want to cherish and pamper her more. After finishing the chocolate, Fate gently licked her lips, looking like she wanted more, but her face was filled with a satisfied and happy smile. Her cuteness was simply off the charts, making Jiu Xiao unable to resist pulling her into his arms and giving her a good rub.

Fate was caught off guard by Jiuxiao's sudden intimate gesture. Her pretty face flushed even more, and her big eyes blinked shyly. She struggled symbolically for a moment, but in the end, she could only let Jiuxiao hold her gently, a surge of unprecedented warmth welling up in her heart.

"Brother Jiuxiao...you...you're making me shy." Fate's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of shyness.

"What's there to be shy about? Fate, you're so cute, I can't help myself." As he spoke, he gently ruffled Fate's hair again, making the little girl blush once more. Fate buried her head in Jiuxiao's chest, as if trying to hide herself and not let him see her current shy appearance.

As Jiuxiao felt the warmth and faint fragrance emanating from Fate, he felt an unprecedented peace in his heart, as if it had been a long time since he had spent so much time alone with Fate.

After resting for a while, Jiuxiao reluctantly released Fete, and the two stood up again to continue searching in the direction of Aldebaran. Another hour passed, and although they hadn't found Aldebaran, they had dealt with quite a few smaller enemies.

As night deepened, the atmosphere in the forest became even more eerie and unsettling. The outlines of the trees appeared and disappeared in the faint starlight, and the cold wind made the branches seem to come alive, baring their claws and fangs. Realizing that continuing the search would yield no results, Jiu Xiao and Fate found an abandoned shelter to rest for the night, planning to continue their search for Aldebaran the next day.

The bunker was rudimentary, but it provided enough shelter from the wind and rain. Jiu Xiao took a folded blanket from his system space and spread it on the ground, gesturing for Fate to lie down and rest with him. Tokyo nights in July weren't particularly cold, but the two still huddled close together.

The night passed without incident, until the first rays of dawn broke the silence as the first rays of sunlight pierced the treetops and fell upon their faces. Jiu Xiao awoke first, gently rubbing his eyes. He turned to look at Fate, who was still fast asleep beside him, a smile unconsciously playing on his lips. Fate's breathing was even and calm, her long eyelashes casting soft shadows beneath her eyelids, making her appear exceptionally serene.

Jiu Xiao didn't disturb her. Instead, he quietly got up, left the bunker, and prepared to make some breakfast. He took out some simple ingredients and cooking utensils from his system space and started a fire to cook. Soon, the simple breakfast emitted an enticing aroma that wafted into the bunker.

Fate was awakened by the aroma. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up. Seeing Jiu Xiao busy outside, she felt a little embarrassed. She put on her shoes, stepped out of the shelter, and saw that Jiu Xiao had already prepared a hot breakfast for her and was waving to her.

After breakfast, perhaps having used up all their bad luck from the previous day, their search went exceptionally smoothly today. Shortly after leaving their shelter, they encountered a large group of Gastrea near a small pond. One of them was particularly enormous, standing out starkly from the others; it was their target – Aldebaran. Beside it was a slightly smaller one, their second target – Pleiades.

"Lucky!" Jiu Xiao chuckled softly, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He quickly pulled Fate behind a large tree not far away.

Jiuxiao whispered to Fate, "It seems we're in luck. Aldebaran and Pleiades are both here, perfect for a quick kill. However, they seem very wary; we need a plan to approach them."

Fate asked, puzzled, "Why not just fly over from the sky? Has Brother Jiuxiao forgotten that I can fly? Even if Pleiades can attack from a distance, it won't pose a threat to me. Not to mention the other flying Gastrea species; aerial combat is my forte." Fate's tone was indifferent; the powerful Aldebaran in the eyes of outsiders seemed to her to be nothing more than an insignificant opponent.

And that's indeed the case. Gastrea's limits are fixed; no matter how much they grow and evolve, they're still just flesh and blood without any special powers. Moreover, as Fate has aged over the past two years, her magical power has increased accordingly, and she no longer knows where her limits lie. After all, there's no target in this world worthy of her full effort.

Jiu Xiao's lips twitched. Having such a powerful younger sister often made him feel immense pressure. Who was the main character anyway? It was practically a reversal of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches! After clearing his throat, Jiu Xiao explained, "Well, Fate-chan, you see, I'm already here, I can't let you do everything by yourself, can I? Where would that leave my old face? Besides, I wanted to try out the EP bomb that Wei Zhi gave me. Although throwing it out directly might not kill Aldebaran, it could at least attract their attention."

Fate chuckled, her eyes curving into crescent shapes, clearly amused by Jiu Xiao's childish words.

"Alright, Brother Jiuxiao, I understand what you mean. Let's proceed according to your plan. However, no matter how powerful a mass weapon is, it has its limitations. In our world, mass weapons have long been obsolete, so it's best not to have too high hopes."

Fortunately, Miori didn't hear this, or she would have cried herself to death in the bathroom. The EP bomb that her research team had worked so hard to develop was nothing more than an outdated relic in Fate's eyes.

Jiuxiao nodded and retrieved the metal box containing the EP bomb from his system space. Fate also slowly ascended, trying to make as little noise as possible to avoid unnecessary effort. Opening the box, Jiuxiao carefully removed the EP bomb. The all-black EP bomb resembled a smoke grenade in shape and size. He gently stroked its surface, feeling both anticipation and trepidation. After all, this was the culmination of the Weizhi research team's hard work. Although Fate didn't seem to care much for it, he still wanted to maximize its value.

Fate flew above Aldebaran, gathering her magic power, seemingly preparing to unleash a powerful attack to eliminate them. Aldebaran quickly spotted Fate and commanded Pleiades to snipe her from a distance. Nine Heavens, naturally, wouldn't let her succeed so easily. She deactivated the EP bomb's safety mechanism, setting it to detonate in ten seconds. Nine Heavens took a deep breath, aimed at the gap between Pleiades and Aldebaran, and hurled it with force.

The EP bomb traced a graceful arc through the air, bounced off Aldebaran's carapace, and landed beside it. Although its position was slightly off-target, it posed little problem. The tiny EP bomb was utterly insignificant to Aldebaran's massive body; it now only wanted to eliminate the humans in the sky. It sensed a deathly threat emanating from this tiny human.

After throwing the bomb, Jiu Xiao silently counted down for ten seconds. However, more than ten seconds passed, and the EP bomb did not react at all... Jiu Xiao was furious. It was a dud! Fortunately, Jiu Xiao had a flash of inspiration and threw two fireballs from his hand. One of the fireballs exploded next to the EP bomb, detonating the dud!

With a deafening roar, the EP bomb finally exploded, the powerful shockwave knocking back Aldebaran's massive body and sending surrounding smaller Gastrea flying. Although the explosion's power didn't meet Aldebaran's expectations, it at least interrupted Pleiades' attack at a crucial moment.

At the same time, Fate had already gathered her magic power. She raised the Lightning Battle Axe high, and a circular magic circle appeared beneath Aldebaran, binding it firmly.

"Thor is furious!"

With a clear, melodious shout from Fate, the Thunder Axe swung down fiercely. Instantly, a thunderous roar and lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking Aldebaran, who was bound by the magic array. The thunder contained Fate's pure magic and unwavering will, as if it wanted to reduce all obstacles to dust.

Aldebaran roared deafeningly under the bombardment of thunder, its massive body trembling violently as countless bolts of lightning raged within it. Every cell in its body was being destroyed by this power of thunder, as if a million sharp blades were slicing through its flesh. Pleiades, standing beside it, was merely grazed by this force and instantly lost its fighting ability; its body was torn apart by lightning, its parts scattered across the ground, emitting black smoke.

Looking at the scene before him, Jiu Xiao secretly rejoiced. Luckily, he was far away, or he would have been caught in the crossfire. He truly couldn't understand how such a small body could unleash such immense power. Appearances can be deceiving, and the sea cannot be measured by a bushel—the ancients were right!

After a long while, the lightning dissipated, leaving behind the smell of burnt protein. Aldebaran's massive body was now charred and dilapidated, its once ferocious aura completely gone, leaving only faint panting, proving it hadn't entirely perished. The surrounding Gastrea were either dead or had fled; Aldebaran was now completely alone. Although this creature was nothing in Fate's eyes, its tenacious vitality had still surprised both of them.

As the saying goes, "Those who survive a great calamity are bound to receive a finishing blow." Jiu Xiao and his companion were not about to let such a good opportunity slip by. The two of them once again unleashed their signature attacks, completely annihilating Bi Su Wu, turning it to ashes.

After confirming it was safe, Fate landed from the air. The sudden drain on her magic left her slightly breathless and pale, but her eyes shone with the joy of victory. Jiuxiao quickly stepped forward, supporting her shoulder, and asked with concern, "Fate, are you alright?"

Fate shook her head slightly, giving a forced smile: "I'm fine, I just used up too much magic power in an instant, I need to catch my breath."

Jiuxiao took out a bottle of soda water from his system space, unscrewed it, and handed it to Fate. Fate took the soda water, took a small sip, and felt the cool liquid slide down her parched throat, bringing a slight chill.

"Fate, you're getting more and more amazing! That attack just now was absolutely stunning! The way you were bathed in lightning just now was just like a god in mythology who controls lightning!" Jiu Xiao gave a thumbs up and exclaimed sincerely, his eyes full of admiration.

Fate smiled slightly, a hint of shyness on her face. The reason she had worked so hard just now was not only to test her own strength, but also because she secretly wanted Jiuxiao to praise her.

"No way, Brother Jiuxiao is also very amazing, and incredibly handsome... like... like the brightest star in the night sky, always illuminating my path forward." Fate's words were gentle and sincere, her eyes sparkling with admiration for Jiuxiao.

"Haha, Fate-chan is getting better and better at praising people. I'm almost embarrassed."

Jiuxiao laughed heartily, his joy overflowing. He gently patted Fate's shoulder, his eyes full of affection.

“Let’s go, Fate, our mission is complete. We need to keep an eye on the Flame of Return, lest the casualties be too great and it become a loss.” Jiuxiao said, and the two of them headed side by side towards the Flame of Return. Along the way, they saw some scattered traces of battle, clearly left by the Gastrea led by Aldebaran in their previous clash with the human warriors.

Back in the Flame of Return, since the frontline Self-Defense Force was wiped out, my lord and his men have retreated here with the police. From the latter half of that night, small groups of Gastrea have been attacking intermittently, but they've all been swiftly eliminated by our concentrated superior forces. With Sanya, our human radar, no Gastrea movement escapes our notice.

While some escaped, it was unavoidable. The defensive line at Flame of Return was too long; dispersing everyone would inevitably cause unnecessary casualties. As for those Gastrea that stormed into the city? We can only pray for the citizens of Tokyo to have good fortune. For the sake of this part of the plan, some of them had to die. After all, most of those still remaining in the city weren't exactly good people anyway.

As I said before, it doesn't matter if it harms Heaven or Wenhe. What does it matter to you if they destroy you? If you want to hate someone, hate Tiantong and Guang, the instigators. At worst, we'll make Tiantong's family pay more compensation later, hehehe!

Chapter 120: Cat Girl Plus One

When Jiuxiao and Fate returned to the Flame of Return, it was already noon. Kisara and the others were cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded; it was clear they had just experienced a considerable battle.

"Sister Mugeng, are you all alright?" Jiuxiao strode forward, his gaze sweeping over everyone as he asked with concern.

Kisara looked up and saw that Jiuxiao and Fate had returned safely. A relieved smile appeared on his face: "We're fine. It's just that these Gastrea are quite cunning. They always take advantage of our unpreparedness to ambush us."

Jiuxiao nodded, then turned his gaze to the wounded who were receiving treatment, his brows furrowing slightly: "What is the casualty situation?"

Kisara sighed and shook his head: "There are a few seriously injured, but they've stabilized. There are quite a few lightly wounded, but thankfully none are in life-threatening danger. How did your trip go? Why are you back so soon?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, Sister Kisara. With me and Fate on the job, Aldebaran is a piece of cake. Excluding the search time, the kill was a breeze. I reckon the Gastrea, now without Aldebaran's command, will scatter soon, making the subsequent defense much easier," Jiuxiao said smugly, making it seem like he had easily defeated Aldebaran.

Kigen breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the pressure on their side was quite high. If it weren't for their numerical advantage, the casualties would probably have been considerable. Most of the police officers and their Initiators weren't very strong. In one-on-one combat, they could barely handle one or two Gastrea that were no more than stage two in evolution. Any more than that and things would be disastrous. Kigen sighed, "Hey, Jiuxiao, you're getting stronger and stronger now. I'm afraid I'm no match for you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jiuxiao quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Sister Musang, please don't say that. I owe it all to Fate's help. Actually, Fate was basically the one who took down Aldebaran. I just finished him off. Besides, we can both use magic. Sister Musang, you're just an ordinary person. It's already quite remarkable that you've achieved so much at your age."

Jiuxiao thought for a moment and felt that saying it that way was a bit inappropriate, as it inadvertently lowered Mugeng's status. So, he changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, Mugeng-jie, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to us, you go and rest for a bit."

Kisara nodded gratefully, handing over command to Jiuxiao. Jiuxiao and Fate immediately began organizing their forces to strengthen the defenses and prevent another Gastrea attack. In the afternoon, my esteemed leader, covered in blood, was being carried back to camp, causing quite a commotion. Everyone gathered around, their faces showing concern and worry. After all, my esteemed leader was one of the team's best members, his strength undeniable; his current state naturally made everyone uneasy.

Jiuxiao and Fate rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing my lord's condition, both of them tensed. Jiuxiao quickly went to check his injuries; thankfully, he wasn't missing any limbs, just looked rather disheveled. My lord, though a bit reckless, isn't inherently bad, as could be seen from the worried expression on Mibu Asaka's face beside him. Mibu Asaka is my lord's originator; if my lord were a heartless wretch, his originator wouldn't be so concerned.

Seeing Jiuxiao and Fate approaching, Mibu Asaka quickly stood up, her eyes filled with urgency and anticipation: "Lord Gen, Lord Fate, Lord Nagamasa, he..." Mibu Asaka's voice trembled slightly, clearly showing her great concern for Lord Nagamasa's injuries.

Jiu Xiao gently patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Little girl, don't worry, he's fine. As for me, Tang Zhangzheng, what benefits did the Tokyo government give you that made you work so hard?" Jiu Xiao deliberately spoke loudly so that Tang Zhangzheng could hear her.

Although my charioteer was seriously injured, he was still relatively conscious. Hearing Jiu Xiao's words, he managed to retort in a hoarse voice, "Cough cough, you two little guys did all the most dangerous missions, so of course I have to do something to prove myself. Besides, I am, after all, the deputy commander. If I don't have any achievements to show for myself, how can I convince the others?"

Jiu Xiao shrugged, too lazy to argue with this stubborn old man. In any case, he couldn't do anything in his current state. He would just send him back to Tokyo by helicopter to recover, so as not to cause him any trouble.

Time passed slowly, and the sun gradually began to set. Throughout the day, Jiu Xiao and Fate led the group in repelling numerous Gastrea attacks. With the two of them in command, these Gastrea, lacking leadership and operating in disarray, couldn't cause any real trouble.

As evening fell, the team members who had gone out on missions returned to camp one after another, each carrying varying degrees of fatigue. Jiuxiao greeted them one by one, praising the little ones. Then, Tsuzawa Akira walked into the camp with a gloomy face, but his initiator, Fuse Midori, was nowhere to be seen.

Jiuxiao keenly sensed that something was wrong. He stepped forward and asked with concern, "Senior Brother Zhangmo, what's wrong? Where's Bushi Cui? Didn't she come back with you?"

Akira's expression darkened further. He shook his head and said in a low voice, "Midori... she..."

Hearing Akimaru's hesitant words, Enju couldn't help but squeeze out from the crowd and anxiously ask, "Akima-nii, what happened to Midori? Is she in danger? No, we have to go save her right away!"

Seeing this, Jiuxiao quickly reached out to stop the impulsive Yanzhu and said in a deep voice, "Yanzhu, calm down. Senior Brother Zhangmo hasn't finished speaking yet. Let's hear about her situation first."

Akimaro Tsubasa took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and slowly began, "Midori...she got separated from me this evening..." After a moment of silence, Tsubasa shook his head and continued, "Actually, it wasn't really a separation. Midori's erosion rate was already close to the critical point in previous tests. She deliberately separated from me this time, probably to avoid hurting me, so she could find a place to end her own life..."

Jiu Xiao frowned deeply. For an Initiator, the Corrosion Rate was equivalent to lifespan. Once the Corrosion Rate reached a critical point, it meant the Initiator would lose its mind and become a Gastrea driven solely by killing intent—an unacceptable prospect for anyone. But Jiu Xiao had a solution, provided that Busch Green hadn't completely transformed into a Gastrea. Hopefully, it wasn't too late, Jiu Xiao prayed silently.

"How could this happen..." Yeon-joo murmured softly, her eyes filled with disbelief and deep sorrow. She clenched her hands tightly, as if that would give her strength and prevent her tears from falling easily.

Seeing this, Jiu Xiao quickly hugged the unsteady Yan Zhu and reminded her, "It's too early to give up now. Have you forgotten that I have the ability to solve this problem?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Yanzhu's eyes. She looked up at Jiuxiao, her voice pleading, "That's right, how could I forget something so important! Jiuxiao, please save Cuijiang!"

As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion; this is a hurdle that no one can overcome.

Jiuxiao gently patted Yanzhu's back and comforted her, "Don't worry, leave it to me. Senior Brother Zhangmo, don't worry too much, maybe things will turn out better."

Tsuzawa Akimasa was completely confused, but he understood one thing: Fuse Midori might still be saved!

"Although I don't know what your method is, I will never give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope. Please save Midori, she is a good child." Akira Tsuzawa bowed deeply and pleaded earnestly.

Jiuxiao quickly helped Tsuzawa Akimasa up and said urgently, "Alright, time is of the essence. I need to find Cui as soon as possible. You all wait here for my news. Fate, let's go!"

Jiuxiao sensed the magical imprint within Busi Cui's body. At this moment, he was extremely grateful for his foresight, otherwise, there would have been no way to reverse the situation.

As soon as they left the camp, Jiuxiao had Fate take him into the sky. High in the air, Jiuxiao relied on the faint magical connection between himself and Bush Cui, like searching for a dim lighthouse in a vast ocean. Although the connection was subtle, it was enough to guide him. He closed his eyes tightly, concentrated his mind, and tried to sense Bush Cui's exact location through this connection.

Guided by Jiuxiao, they gradually approached their target. At this moment, Busu Tsui sat with her back against a large tree on the edge of a desolate woodland. Night had fallen, and the thin moonlight shone on her, illuminating her pale and weary face. Her eyes were vacant, as if her soul had already left her body. Scattered around her were the carcasses of Gastrea, clearly the remains of those she had destroyed.

Jiuxiao and Fate landed silently to the side, tiptoeing towards Bushicui, careful not to disturb her extremely fragile state. She was undergoing judgment of fate.

Fushi Cui seemed oblivious to everything around her. Jiuxiao's heart sank, and he slowly reached out to gently touch Fushi Cui's face.

Fuse Midori felt someone touch her cheek and gradually came to her senses, her unfocused eyes refocusing. Seeing who it was, her eyes brightened for a moment, but were quickly replaced by terror. Fuse Midori hugged herself tightly, instinctively shifting her body to one side, murmuring, "Please don't... come near me, I... I'm afraid I'll hurt you."

Jiu Xiao's heart was breaking. Whether it was Xia Shi or the Bu Shi Cui before her, even if they were to transform into monsters, they would not want to harm those around them. Unlike some people, who, not only suffer misfortune themselves, also attempt to spread despair to society.

“Cui, it’s too early to give up now. Please believe me, okay?” Jiu Xiao said gently, his voice carrying a hint of pleading.

Fate, standing nearby, softly echoed, "Sui-chan, Brother Jiuxiao will definitely have a way. We must believe in him." Fate's tone was very firm, trying to calm Fuse Sui's inner panic and unease.

Listening to their conversation, Fuse Midori shook her head repeatedly. She slowly reached under her skirt and pulled out a white cat tail, her voice trembling with tears, saying, "It's already begun... I'm... beyond saving. I don't want to become that kind of monster..."

Seeing this, Jiuxiao quickly picked up Bushi Cui, ignoring her violent struggles and resistance, and at the same time opened the passage to the other world.

"Fate, go back and let everyone know we're safe. We might not be back until tomorrow!" With that, Jiu Xiao carried Bush Cui and vanished in a flash, leaving Fate alone in the desolate woods, watching them disappear into the passage.

The moment they passed through the passage, the Gastrea virus within Fuse Midori's body was altered by the rules of the other world. At the same time, the writhing skin on her body calmed down, and her pale face gradually regained its color. Jiuxiao held Fuse Midori tightly, secretly relieved that they had arrived in time; if they had been even a few minutes later, the consequences might have been unpredictable.

Fuse Midori slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling upon Jiuxiao's concerned face and the unfamiliar surroundings. She paused for a few seconds, then realized that all the changes within her body had ceased. Except for her already formed tail and ears, her other body parts were no different from a normal person's. Fuse Midori's lips moved, but she didn't know where to begin.

Jiuxiao smiled gently and said softly, "Cui, welcome to my territory. From this moment on, you will have a brand new life."

Fushui's eyes gradually welled up with tears. She lowered her head, looked at the cat tail in her hand, and then looked up at Jiuxiao. Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Brother Jiuxiao…I…” she choked, her voice tinged with uncertainty, “Can I really have a new life? No longer be a monster, no longer be shrouded in fear and despair?”

Jiuxiao nodded firmly, reaching out to gently stroke Fuse Midori's hair, as if comforting a frightened cat. Fuse Midori continued, "I never imagined my ending would be like this. I was prepared to die... When I was little, I was abandoned because of my cat ears; even my parents disliked me. But, Shoma-nii accepted me just like that, and now I have all of you. Whether it's Enju, Fate, or the other companions, you've given me warmth I'd never experienced before. I used to think that with this body, my life was destined to be spent in loneliness and rejection, until one day, the Gastrea virus would completely erode my mind, turning me into a monster that only knows how to kill..."

Jiuxiao listened silently to Fushui's lament, his eyes filled with tenderness. Such an adorable cat-eared girl, and nobody wanted her? Was there no justice in this world? After she calmed down a bit, Jiuxiao slowly spoke: "Suitui, you won't feel lonely anymore. Everyone will accept you, no one will despise you. If anyone dares to laugh at you, I'll punch their dog head off!"

A faint smile bloomed on Bu Shi Cui's face. She inadvertently noticed the scratches on Jiu Xiao's face, scratches she had accidentally inflicted while struggling. She reached out and gently touched the marks, her eyes filled with guilt and heartache.

"Brother Jiuxiao, I'm sorry. I was too excited just now. Did I hurt you?"

Only then did Jiu Xiao feel the burning pain on his face. He shook his head, his smile still warm: "It's nothing, just a minor injury, Cui, you don't need to worry about it."

"How could it be nothing? If it's not treated properly, it could leave a scar, especially since Brother Jiuxiao is so handsome..."

After thinking for a moment, Fuse-tsui suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Brother Jiuxiao, don't move." With that, Bu Shi Cui, her face flushed, moved closer to Jiuxiao. To Jiuxiao's surprise, Bu Shi Cui extended her fragrant tongue and gently licked the wound on his face...

Chapter 121 Becoming a Father

Jiu Xiao's body stiffened instantly. His eyes widened as he watched Bu Shi Cui's focused and gentle movements, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up inside him. Bu Shi Cui's tongue lightly touched his skin, bringing a touch of coolness. However, none of that mattered. What mattered was, were you in Gan Shenmo?

“Cui, you…” Jiu Xiao’s voice was a little hoarse. He had never experienced such a scene before, and he never expected that Bu Shi Cui would treat him in such a way.

Bu Shi Cui didn't look up, but continued her actions, saying vaguely, "Brother Jiu Xiao, this is the only thing I can do for you. I heard that saliva has a bactericidal effect. Although it can't completely remove the scar, it can at least make it hurt less."

As Jiu Xiao felt the gentle touch on his face, his heart raced. This woman was terrifyingly powerful; she must not be allowed to live... Jiu Xiao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Although he felt something was off, he didn't intend to stop Fushi Cui. The little girl was going through a sensitive period, and interrupting her might hurt her pride.

Jiuxiao dared to swear to the heavens that he absolutely had no strange thoughts! After a moment, Busu Cui finally stopped what she was doing, blushed and stepped back a little, her eyes filled with shyness.

"I feel much better, Cui, thank you," Jiuxiao said softly, a genuine smile on his face, a smile of deep gratitude and appreciation for Cui.

Fūshi Tsui smiled, her smile tinged with shyness and contentment. Although she had acted strangely in a moment of impulse, thankfully Kyuhō didn't find her repulsive, which made Fūshi Tsui feel a deep sense of joy at being accepted.

“Brother Jiuxiao, thank you so much for giving me a new life. I want to fight and live with everyone.” Busu Tsui said earnestly, her eyes shining with a firm will.

Jiuxiao nodded, his eyes filled with encouragement and trust: "Of course, Cui, you deserve all of this. Whether it's me, Yanzhu, or Fite, everyone likes you. We were all very worried after we found out about your accident, so remember to thank everyone afterwards."
