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

suddenly--

She remembered the white-haired girl who had followed her and her older brother in the alley that day, and curiously raised her hand to pinch the girl's cheek.

"What are you doing!"

The Herrscher of Domination didn't hold back at all. Yuexia, clutching her aching and swollen cheek, took several steps back and questioned her indignantly, "What are you doing? Why are you suddenly pinching my face? Do you want to embarrass me in front of humans?"

No... Unforgivable!

[Strange, it's actually true... Are you really Theresa, the short-legged girl from Schicksal?]

"You're the one with short legs!"

She was furious. The instincts fused with the Honkai Beast factor were spreading through her body, causing her to lose her mind. She didn't care about anything else... she would just saw the other person in half first. She had already made a promise to protect humanity.

The whirring sound of chainsaws echoed across the mountaintop.

Under the moonlight, she continued to swing her chainsaw, a slightly maniacal smile playing on her lips. Although she had been very restrained in front of Xia Yuan, the puppet body that controlled the Herrscher was still utterly vulnerable under the chainsaw she wielded.

"Now you know how powerful I am, right?"

She wanted to tell the humans that she had dealt with them and asked them to pat her head a few more times, but an untimely voice echoed in her ears from behind. At that moment, several dolls identical to the ones from before emerged from the ground behind her.

They all turned to look at Theresa and said in unison, "Short legs, do you think you're done just because you dealt with one doll?"

Being called "short legs" again, Theresa seemed a little unconvinced. It was just a few more puppets, but Xia Yuan wouldn't let the Herrscher of Domination use endless puppets to wear down her opponent's stamina.

He slowly said, "Alright, Moonlight, let's stop playing around with the Herrscher of Dominion. Let's execute Plan B."

"Hey, humans, do we really have to do that? I'm still a little worried..."

"Isn't there still you under the moonlight?"

Seeing the trust in the other person's eyes, the girl silently clenched her hands. She would never let humanity down, and the chainsaw in her hands was transforming into a giant axe.

"Of course, I will protect you, human."

Under the moonlight, she leaped into the air, watching the giant axe about to crash down on her opponent's shoulder. Combined with her conversation with her older brother, a vague sense of foreboding crept into the Herrscher's heart. But now, she truly seemed like a short-legged little thing...

After all, she doesn't have the core of the Herrscher of the Void, and she can't stay in the air.

The Herrscher of Domination could only watch helplessly as her opponent swung a giant axe in mid-air, smashing it down on her group of puppets. With the heavy descent of the axe, the earth shook violently, and the entire forest could feel the earth-shaking tremor.

The cracks spread from the ground where the giant axe had struck to where Xia Yuan stood. The ground split open, and he lost his footing. His body instinctively fell with the surrounding rubble, but Xia Yuan's expression remained unusually calm. His gaze was fixed on the sky as he waited for the other party to appear.

suddenly

Chapter 492 Xiao Shi, Long Time No See

The bright moon hangs in the sky, casting a silvery glow, as if casting a tranquil stillness upon the land.

A petite black figure flashed across the night sky, like a shooting star streaking across the heavens. She lightly stepped on the falling pebbles around her, carrying a unique and mysterious aura, and silently arrived at Xia Yuan's side.

She stretched out her slender arm and steadily supported Xia Yuan, preventing him from falling.

She said in a low voice, "Human, I'm sorry... I kept you waiting. This dangerous thing must not happen again. If I hadn't arrived in time, you really would have fallen off the mountain."

Xia Yuan simply smiled and gently brushed her cheek with his fingertips, his eyes filled with trust.

"Isn't there you, Yuexia? I'm sure some girl will come and save me from mid-air with her uniquely short legs."

He said angrily under the moonlight:

"Human, why are you calling me that too? I've already told you I don't have short legs!"

But for some reason, a sense of happiness shone through her expression. Did the fact that a human would address her like that mean that her relationship with the other person was becoming closer? Feeling a blush rise on her cheek where the other person's fingertips had brushed against her, she seemed a little shy.

As a vampire, she shouldn't have any body temperature, but why is her cheek, which is being cupped by a human, so hot...? She felt her heart beating faster, and the blush on her face became more pronounced.

"Moonlight, thank you. I feel very safe with you by my side."

She lowered her head slightly, a strange emotion welling up inside her. "Hmm... as long as you, human, don't mind me, I will always stay by your side." She murmured to herself, her voice so soft that even Xia Yuan couldn't hear her.

"But... if we don't call her 'Little Short-Legged Moonlit Night,' then what should we call her?"

The girl pondered for a moment, then hugged Xia Yuan tighter and gave him a very sweet smile, saying, "Human, you can call me 'darling'~" But unfortunately, Yuexia did not get the result she wanted.

"Okay, little girl~"

Xia Yuan gazed at the petite girl in front of him and slowly spoke.

She widened her eyes, her face showing an angry expression. "Ugh... human, I'm not some little girl. If you keep teasing me like this, I'm going to bite you!" With that, she opened her mouth, revealing a pair of cute but sharp little tiger teeth.

Seeing the girl's eager expression, Xia Yuan didn't say much. He simply opened his collar, revealing his neck, as if gesturing for her to bite down quickly. He quite liked that feeling.

But when Theresa saw how enthusiastic the human in her arms was, she changed her mind.

"Hmph, human... I've changed my mind. I haven't eaten for long today and I'm not too hungry yet. I'll reluctantly let you go this time, but I'll still hug you and nibble on you when I'm hungry in the future."

This emotional young woman is treating herself as a reserve of food.

Xia Yuan decided that to avoid Yuexia being used as bread and food in the future, he would send Yuexia to Theresa after the incident with the Herrscher of Domination was over, so that Theresa could take care of her.

at the same time--

"Humans, hold on tight."

At this moment, Xia Yuan and Yuexia were not far from the ground. In order to have room to cushion their fall and to prevent humans from being harmed, she stepped on the steep hillside to reduce the impact of the fall.

The rubble hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Perhaps because of the surrounding coal mining area, she pinched her little nose and waved her arms to disperse the dust in the air. As the dust gradually dissipated, the girl had turned into a small piece of black charcoal.

"Humans...human beings, what should we do next?"

"We'll just wait for Seele and the others to notice the noise and come looking for us."

Xia Yuan sat on the gravel to the side, watching the girl still standing there dumbfounded. He moved over to make room for her.

He gestured for the other person to sit next to him.

Yuexia ran over happily, completely ignoring her own disheveled appearance, and took the other's arm. Xia Yuan, on the other hand, affectionately brushed the dust off her cheeks, and then kept an eye on the direction of the city.

soon......

He had already spotted a familiar figure rushing toward them.

The great Herrscher of Knowledge was being led over by her pet black kite on a leash, and for a moment, it was impossible to tell who the true master was.

【Giggle giggle~!】

"Slow down, slow down. It's just that a mountaintop in the forest suddenly collapsed. Is it really necessary to rush here like this? If you don't explain it to me clearly, then tonight's main dish is grilled fat kite."

The Herrscher of Knowledge grabbed the rope and dragged the little black kite, which was running rapidly ahead, back.

【Giggle giggle!】

In order to survive from its leader, the Herald of Knowledge, it flapped its wings and desperately pointed in the direction where Xia Yuan and Yuexia were.

"Wow, what an era! There are still cavemen here. Could these primitive forest dwellers have existed even longer than the ancient relics? Heh~ the ancient relics' ancient relics, so they can be considered to have successors, right?"

It's a pity that communication is impossible now, otherwise she would definitely have shown the old antique a thing or two.

Let's see what we found in the forest: a small and a large forest caveman, practically living fossils.

But when the Herrscher of Knowledge approached the two living fossils with the little black kite in her arms, she felt for some reason that she had seen them before. Could it be that they had appeared in the memories of the ancients?

Before Lady Herrscher could even process what was happening, the living fossil in front of her, as solid as coal, suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Xiao Shi, long time no see~"

"Guest...Guest?!" The Lawyer of Knowledge was also startled.

"How did the other person change so much in just a few days? I would have thought they had fallen into a mine." "Sir, did you go deep into the forest to mine? You're as dark as the little black kite in my arms. I almost didn't recognize you just now."

[Hehehe, boss, I'm not as dark-skinned as the other person!]

"That's a long story, but things might be different now that you're here, Xiao Shi~" Xia Yuan looked at her with burning eyes, which made the Herrscher of Knowledge panic and feel a bad premonition. This guy was really her nemesis. Why did she keep running into him wherever she went?

Why did you have to drag me there? You just had to bring me right in front of you. I might as well roast the little black kite for dinner.

The author is taking three days off because their eyes are swollen.

It looks like this, where a single eyelid swells into a double eyelid.

Chapter 493 Who cares about being praised by this old-fashioned woman!

"Sir, let's make this clear first: all our debts have been settled, and we owe each other nothing!"

"I've already given you my family's most treasured heirloom, please, sir, have mercy and spare the life of the great Herrscher of Knowledge... I have an old antique to support and a little black kite to take care of. Earning a little pocket money isn't easy these days. Even Herrschers have to set up street stalls to make ends meet. Look, the little black kite is crying in desperation."

To better impress this customer, Mr. Xia~

The great Herrscher of Knowledge, wearing sunglasses and covering her face, tearfully recounted her heartbreaking experiences. She was just short of playing the erhu (a two-stringed bowed instrument) for Xia Yuan in public to express her grief.

【Coo coo coo!】

[Boss Herrscher of Knowledge, you can cry all you want, but stop secretly pinching my butt! It hurts, it really hurts!]

The Lawyer quickly covered the little black kite in her arms to prevent it from talking again. She had raised it for so long, and it didn't even know what kind of occasion it was. The creditors had come to collect their debts. If it didn't behave itself, she would sell the useless little black kite to pay off the debt.

"Really?"

But Xia Yuan remained completely unmoved.

I don't believe a word the Herrscher of Knowledge says; given her level of expertise, she can probably only fool idiots.

"How about we wait until we meet Fu Hua, and I'll personally tell her in detail how you, Xiao Shi, filled the household expenses and earned pocket money? Not only did you use your Herrscher powers to swindle all my salary... but you also used my money to build a Xiao Shi convenience store in the middle of nowhere. It's no wonder it went bankrupt!"

"No, no, sir, please don't get so worked up. Getting angry will only harm your health. Let's talk this out. Why bring up old things? Does she know anything about investing? Does she understand the... everlasting friendship between us?"

The Lawyer of Knowledge casually hooked her arm around Xia Yuan's shoulder, just like an old friend who hadn't seen each other for many years.

"Hey, Little Black Kite is here too. Please give me some face, sir~ When the great Herrscher of Knowledge makes a fortune, I guarantee you'll get a share, maybe even double."

Hearing Xiao Shi's soft voice, Xia Yuan smiled and naturally leaned close to her ear to whisper, "Xiao Shi, others may not know you, but I know you well. If you don't want Fu Hua to know, then you'd better be sensible and listen to me."

The words Xia Yuan spoke echoed in her ears, and even the fearless Herrscher of Knowledge couldn't help but shudder. Her illegal resale of goods was one thing, but if the old antique found out about her telecom fraud, the constant chanting around her would make her wish she could just turn herself in.

However, Xia Yuan's intimate behavior with the Herrscher of Knowledge aroused the dissatisfaction of Xiao Yuexia, who grabbed Xia Yuan's arm and dragged him over as if to assert her ownership.

"No...humans are mine!"

Watching the little girl beside him, who looked like a piece of charcoal, constantly rubbing the back of the customer's hand, while the customer was scratching her chin with his fingertips, he subconsciously blurted out, "Sir, is this your daughter?"

Xia Yuan was about to deny it when Yuexia, with her puffed-out cheeks, spoke first.

"I am not the daughter of humans, I am..." Her crimson pupils darted around under the moonlight, then she thought of what humans should be to her, and pointed to herself and Xia Yuan, declaring to the Herrscher of Knowledge, "Humans are my dearest love!"

The Lady of Knowledge's Laws widened her eyes in surprise, and a bold possibility came to mind.

"Sir, you don't happen to have a fondness for children, do you? Wait... how old am I again?!"

Recalling the words the other person had whispered in her ear, she immediately did some quick calculations, counting on her fingers how many years and months had passed since she was born as a Herrscher of Consciousness. As a Herrscher of Consciousness who had only been born a few years ago, she felt a strange sense of panic for the first time, as if her personal safety was not guaranteed.

Even in front of the previous Herrscher of the End, that old relic from the same era, she had never shown the slightest fear. She never imagined that she, a Herrscher of Consciousness, would ever feel fear.

No, she had to have her fortune told.

However you can deduce it, today's fortune for Ms. Shi Zhilu is still an ominous sign.

"Holy crap, so this divination means I have to choose between you and that old antique?! Either I give in to you, or I have to go with that old antique and turn myself in. Hmph... But who am I? Would the great Herrscher of Knowledge be stumped by such a small problem? Obviously not. My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. Today, I'll use Little Black Kite to pay my debt."

The Herrscher of Knowledge slowly withdrew her arm, which had been resting on Xia Yuan's shoulder and was now somewhat stiff. Then, she quickly tossed the little black kite, which was about to suffocate, to him, while she herself kept her distance from Xia Yuan as much as possible.

"Ahem... Sir, from now on, let Little Black Kite take my place, whether you use it or stew it in soup."

[A friendly reminder from the Pink Fairy: The Herrscher of Knowledge is attempting to alter your consciousness, Xia Yuan.]

[Attempt failed... Please try again]

"Coo coo coo?! Herrscher of Knowledge, boss, I don't want to die!"

"Shut up. I've raised you for a thousand days, and now I'm using you for one. Little Black Kite, it's time for you to gloriously sacrifice yourself for the great Herrscher of Knowledge. Afterwards, I'll have Old Antique, Little Antique, and Little Red Kite carve a tombstone for you on Mount Taixu, to properly commemorate what you did today."

Seeing the lively little black kite in Xia Yuan's arms, Yuexia seemed a little excited and curiously poked the round, black little creature with her fingertip.

"Humans, can it be eaten? It looks like it has a lot of meat."

Upon hearing these words, the little black kite, already in tears, cried even harder. Its boss didn't want it anymore, and there was a drooling, fanged girl by its side. It should have known better than to rush over here with its boss. It thought there was some treasure here.

"Alright, alright, enough joking around. If you grant me one request, not only can we settle our previous accounts in one go, but I can also praise you a few times in front of Fu Hua, how about that?"

"Hmph, who cares about being praised by that old fogey!"
