Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

He looked around. Although the sky was somewhat dim, the tall, dense trees nearby seemed strangely familiar.

Was he here recently?

When Xia Yuan saw the rows of footprints on the ground, he gradually recalled that these were the footprints he left when he was chased by the Herrscher that day. The footprints looked quite dry, indicating that some time had passed since that day.

【Dear human, you're awake~】

"Is this the dating strategy chip that Airi implanted in him?" Since the chip is still functioning normally, it at least means that Airi is safe and sound. But what about Mei, who is with him?

[Due to the damage to the Paradise Typewriter and a severe shortage of fairy magic energy, the teleportation has deviated. Furthermore, network instability has prevented real-time synchronization of Mei's location information, and the system has automatically switched to auxiliary mode.]

Chapter 486 Have you ever properly tried to win over a girl?

[Waaaaah, Mei, my Mei, my big Mei... Xiao Xiayuan, how could you lose Mei!]

They were so inseparable before the teleportation, but afterwards, the place was deserted.

For some reason, a picture suddenly appeared in Xia Yuan's mind.

The scene of Airi rolling around on a bed carved with crystal flowers, tightly hugging Mei's pillow, is not some kind of love chip; it's clearly just a fairy's obsession with Mei constantly twisting and turning.

【stare--】

[I have a feeling that Xia Yuan, you were thinking about something you felt bad about towards Miss Pink Fairy just now.]

"Cough cough... I didn't. Besides, Airi, you're not Ai-chan, so you don't have a problem with running out of battery. How could you possibly run out of so-called fairy magic energy?"

Sigh~

Xia Yuan, sometimes you should look for the reasons within yourself.

[Have you ever properly tried to win over any girls over the years? Have you held their soft little hands? Have you ever earnestly asked them to go on dates? If Xia Yuan had put in the effort, Mei wouldn't have been teleported elsewhere due to insufficient energy.]

"Uh, I'm...sorry."

An indescribable sense of guilt welled up in Xia Yuan's heart.

But he didn't know where this deep-seated guilt came from. When he came to his senses, he didn't know why he had to apologize to her, since the love chip that Ai Li had given him had never been used properly even once.

[Hmm~ It's good that you know you were wrong. Now, in order to help you get out of your current predicament, find Mei, and interact more with other girls to replenish your magical energy, Miss Pink Fairy has decided to issue you a mission to urge you to take action.]

"A mission? What mission?!"

Main Quest: Twisted Love

[Lovely human, you awaken alone in a silent, deep forest. As dusk settles, the forest may harbor the remnants of Honkai Beasts, who are eyeing you with predatory intent. Your location may have already been discovered.]

If you do not wish to be imprisoned in the Theater of Domination by the Herrscher of Domination, please leave this place as soon as possible before they arrive.

[Current Herrscher's favorability towards you: 70]

【It has to be you】

"Little Ellie, is your affection system fake?" How could the Herrscher of Domination possibly have such a high level of affection for him?

【Hmm~ Who knows? Maybe Xia Yuan, you possess some kind of special succubus attribute. With such a high level of favorability, why don't you stay put and wait for the Herrscher of Domination to come to you? Perhaps there will be an unexpected surprise?】

[Hidden Quest Triggered: Remain where you are and wait for the Herrscher of Dominion to arrive.]

【award:???】

[In Miss Pink Fairy's opinion, why don't you, Xia Yuan, be the Herrscher of Domination? In a way, her abilities are perfect for you to win the hearts of other girls.]

[Agree] [Reject]

Xia Yuan decisively refused; staying put would be more like him offering himself up.

【Hmm, why are you so quick to refuse, cute human? The pink fairy has already planned everything out for you. Once you have the power of the Herrscher of Domination, you can do lots of fun things, like secretly binding Mei with a doll and then tickling her armpits with your fingers~】

Hehehe, I can't take it anymore~ Just thinking about it makes me so excited...

Xia Yuan did not respond, but silently recorded it.

Once he has enough magical energy to awaken Alicia, he will unleash all the terrible ideas this broken chip has come up with onto her, letting her experience just how utterly awful her ideas are.

Just then—

A flicker of fire deep in the forest caught Xia Yuan's attention. Could it be Mei and Airi?

[Cute human, hurry... hurry over there, maybe Mei is waiting for you, Xia Yuan, to pamper her by the firelight~]

Ah~ The cold night may only be 0°C, but the temperature in your arms, Xia Yuan, far exceeds that limit. Girls at this time of day desperately need love and warmth. Oh dear, Miss Pink Fairy also longs for a warm embrace~

[Xia Yuan, don't go over there. That obvious firelight is definitely a trap someone deliberately set, perhaps to lure you. There might still be Honkai Beasts lurking in the forest. It's safer to stay where you are and wait for Bronya and Seele to arrive.]

Xia Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the distant firelight.

The whereabouts of Seele and Bronya were still unknown, but he couldn't just sit there and wait to die, because he could sense countless pairs of eyes emitting red light watching him in the darkness.

[Mission objective has changed: Investigate the firelight in the forest]

Ignoring the gazes cast upon him in the darkness, Xia Yuan pushed through the bushes and saw the source of the fire.

It was a small grove of trees that was burning continuously. I don’t know why it started. If I stay near the fire, the remaining Honkai Beasts hiding in the darkness should not come over, right?

Xia Yuan comforted himself in his heart.

The remaining Honkai Beasts have lost much of their aggressiveness. At the very least, they can warm their bodies and conserve some strength. In the firelight, he could see the small figures hidden in the darkness.

【Honkai Ball】

Hidden in every corner of the city, it lurks in the shadows.

Although the opponent was very small compared to other Honkai Beasts, and could even be kicked like a ball, they were used to rolling around in the darkness and surrounded the area. Perhaps it was because of the firelight that they dared not step into it.

"It seems like I'm surrounded?"

Before Xia Yuan could catch his breath, a series of loud noises came from the depths of the forest.

"Roar!"

Honkai Dragon

It's trying its best to imitate the dragon roar of its predecessor, Benares, howl!

Seeing the opponent make way for him amidst the numerous [Honkai Balls] and rush straight towards him, Xia Yuan subconsciously took a step back. But just as he got closer to the flames, his left leg suddenly lost its strength.

In the midst of panic...

Xia Yuan reached out to grab the big tree beside him, but his arm swung away and he touched nothing but air.

In a dizzying moment, he lost count of how many times he had fallen to the ground. However, the ground felt different; it was soft to the touch. Xia Yuan opened his eyes and groped his way to his feet.

Chapter 487 Bishop Theresa?!

By the light of the firelight filtering in, he must have fallen into a tree hollow in the forest, and besides himself, there was a white-haired girl lying quietly on her side next to him in the hollow.

"This is... Theresa?!"

Your Excellency, what's wrong? Your Excellency, the other person may look similar to Theresa, but judging from their clothes, they should be Theresa from another world.

Although Xia Yuan had become numb to surprises after being chased by the Herrscher lady, asked for candy, and even repeatedly teetering on the brink of death these past few days, the scenery in this tree hollow and the appearance of the girl were still unexpected.

Why was Theresa unconscious inside the tree hollow?

"Those Honkai Beasts outside dare not approach... Could it be because of this that they dare not come near here?"

Xia Yuan's mind was filled with a lot of questions.

The white-haired girl was curled up in a ball, her back to the cave entrance. She had beautiful silver hair that looked like silver threads, and her face, which was not covered, was as white as snow. Her fair skin looked delicate and flawless.

But Xia Yuan knew exactly how much superhuman strength was hidden beneath that seemingly petite body. Perhaps the other party could easily lift several of him with just one hand?

Hello...

Xia Yuan took the initiative to greet the white-haired girl, even raising his voice at one point, but she remained fast asleep... like a sleeping princess, offering no response.

She was wearing a black pleated dress, which weighed down her pale white skirt and exposed areas of skin outlined by pantyhose. One couldn't help but admire the tailor's taste and craftsmanship. I really wanted to discuss this design concept with Eden so that Bronya and Mei could wear it. But when I fell down just now, did I accidentally rest my head on her lap?

Recalling the feeling of that touch, Xia Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

He had already wronged Bronya, and now he couldn't wrong Mei even more. He couldn't go any further down this path... Xia Yuan carefully crawled towards her, gently placing his fingers on the tip of the girl's nose, feeling her breath.

The other person's breath seemed very weak; even he couldn't be sure if they were still breathing.

Xia Yuan tried to shake her shoulders to wake her up, but the white-haired girl remained motionless with her eyes closed, her body devoid of any warmth, like a soulless doll.

"hiss--"

As a result, this action not only failed to wake the girl, but also accidentally caused his index finger to touch the thorns inside the tree hole and cut himself. Looking at the wound on his finger, he suddenly remembered that the vampire girl needed blood to sustain her life.

tick-tock-

Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Yuan placed his fingertips vertically on the white-haired girl's lips, letting his dripping blood flow into her body.

But after a long time, the other person still showed no signs of waking up.

This situation made Xia Yuan worry. Could it be that the blood provided was too little to revive the girl?

[A friendly reminder from Miss Pink Fairy: Little Xia Yuan, you're so dense! At this moment, all you need to do is put your finger in her mouth and move it around to fully open her taste buds. After all, external sensations can never compare to internal ones.]

Although Ai Li's description was somewhat strange, after removing those odd rhetoric, Xia Yuan came to the conclusion that Ai Li, who was in a state of suspended animation due to lack of blood, might not be able to sense changes in the outside world.

"I'm sorry..."

To save her, Xia Yuan resolutely put his blood-covered index finger into the girl's mouth.

He then felt a sucking sensation on his fingers. Although it was faint, it was clear that the other person was sucking his blood and feeding on him. It was rare for Ellie's idea to be effective.

【What?! Little Xia Yuan, Miss Pink Fairy's ideas are always the best, okay?!】

【Ahem... Now, please follow the instructions and arrangements of Miss Pink Fairy. Adjust the angle and placement as much as possible, ideally so you can feel each other, so you can better replenish each other's energy~】

Xia Yuan rarely listened to the other party's advice.

Theresa slowly sat up, but her eyes still showed no sign of opening. She simply followed her blood-sucking instinct and took Xia Yuan's hand to absorb the hard-won blood. She hadn't eaten for a long time.

Seeing the white-haired girl completely envelop his index finger, Xia Yuan couldn't help but feel his heart race.

"Isn't that a bit too much?!"

Who could resist a white-haired girl who is as gentle as a kitten?

I really wish our bishop could learn from her and stop being so obsessed with researching bitter melon juice... In Xia Yuan's eyes, the girl at this moment was charming and very lovable, and he couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms.

But he suppressed his inner impulse, gently stroking the girl's silver hair as she ate.

[Action Evaluation: 0 points]

[Xia Yuan, are you even capable? Where did your fierceness that was peeking at Mei from behind go? You can even resist getting too close to such a cute girl. If this keeps up, Miss Pink Fairy might be replaced!]

"So verbose!"

It wasn't the same back then. Mei was controlled by the Herrscher of Domination and had no choice in the matter, but he still has that much willpower now.

After a moment—

Seeing that the white-haired girl, who looked exactly like Theresa, was gradually showing signs of improvement, Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. But then he heard a "thump" and she suddenly collapsed to the ground. What was going on?

【Hmm~ Little Xia Yuan, you just don't understand, do you?】

Every sleeping girl awaits her Prince Charming. Only a kiss filled with love and passion can awaken her from her slumber. Of course, this seems a bit too difficult for the shy Xia Yuan. So, she'll just lean closer and listen carefully to her heartbeat.

Although it might be somewhat offensive, he still took Ellie's advice to heart.

As Xia Yuan approached, he suddenly felt a strange stinging sensation on his neck that quickly spread throughout his body, but this was followed by an indescribable feeling of relaxation and comfort, with sucking sounds echoing throughout the tree hole.

As she ate, the white-haired girl gradually opened her eyes.

When her reddish-brown pupils saw Xia Yuan so close to her, her expression showed excitement and even disbelief. The human she had been longing for was actually right in front of her. Was she dreaming?

"Does this mean I am in heaven?"

"No... As a vampire, I should only end up in hell. How could such a place tolerate the existence of an anomaly like myself? I haven't even found a place that can accommodate me yet."

Chapter 488 Human, teach me!

Seeing the small tiger tooth still remaining on the other person's neck, she immediately understood what had happened. She had once again failed to control her urge to suck blood, and a wave of self-reproach washed over her.

The humans before me have once again saved me from the brink of death...

She vaguely remembered that she had followed the human to a secluded alley in the city, intending to repay the kindness. However, she accidentally witnessed the human being tackled to the ground by a blonde little girl, and then she was chased by the puppets sent by the human.

They even chased them from the city to the forests on the outskirts.

Finally, while being chased, he accidentally fell into a tree hole and couldn't climb out. His body was also extremely weak, and he could only barely survive on rainwater for the next few days.

Until the arrival of humans, she was saved by them once again... But she didn't want to be saved in this way, because every time she couldn't suppress the urge to suck blood, she would unconsciously hurt the people around her, and she didn't want humans to be hurt because of her.
