My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Luo Chen couldn't accept being addressed as "Uncle-Master." Cheng Lixue was of the same generation as his mother, and hearing her call him that made him uneasy.

"Call me Xiao Chen, or if that doesn't work, call me Luo Chen. Just don't call me 'Uncle-Master' anymore."

"Alright then, Luo Chen, why should I stay here?"

"I already told you you're 'defeated'."

Luo Chen moved his shoulder, which was aching from being gripped so tightly. He really didn't know why Cheng Lixue was so strong; she hadn't held back at all when she grabbed him just now.

"Here's the thing, although I've traveled back in time, for the sake of how things will unfold, some of the people I rescued can no longer appear in the public eye, otherwise things will fall into complete chaos."

Luo Chen coughed softly to make sure Aurora and the others weren't eavesdropping, and said seriously, "To give an example, the timeline I originally traveled back to was before the Second Honkai Impact. At that time, I could have taken Sirin, the Second Herrscher, and left Siberia, which would have prevented everything that followed."

"But I didn't do that, because if I had, everything that would happen in the future would have changed, and then everything would have gone wrong."

At this point, Luo Chen clenched his fist. If he really took Sirin away, although Sirin wouldn't become a Herrscher, someone else would definitely become the Second Herrscher. Everything would change after that, and Kiana's appearance would become an unknown, something Luo Chen dared not gamble on.

"So what I need to do is to carry out a series of operations within this general framework to rescue more people."

"I understand, then I'll stay here."

After clarifying everything, Cheng Lixue readily agreed. Luo Chen liked talking to smart people, as it saved him a lot of trouble.

"That's fine then. Li Xue, you stay here and come out after the second collapse ends."

Luo Chen got up, walked to another carriage, and brought Aurora and the others over.

"This lady is an elder relative of your brother. She will be staying in the car for a while, so please get along well with her."

"Of course! We were just chatting with the older sister!"

As Bella spoke, she made a face at Luo Chen and ran to Cheng Lixue's side to prevent Luo Chen from hitting her.

"They just told me how you met them. Don't worry, I will take good care of these children."

Cheng Lixue also liked these children quite a bit. Looking at them reminded her of herself when she was a child, which made her feel a great sense of familiarity.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Luo Chen said goodbye to each of the little ones. He could tell they had a lot to say to him, but time was of the essence, and he needed to get out of there quickly.

"We can talk about this later. I'm going out now."

After leaving the Thousand Realms One Vehicle, Luo Chen returned to the mountaintop, only to realize that he hadn't asked Cheng Lixue for Otto's contact information.

"Never mind, let's go first and go find Siegfried and the others. They should have some too."

Chapter 236 Oh no, we've been exposed!

"Let me see, where are they?"

Luo Chen flew at high speed over the battlefield, searching for Siegfried and the others. He decided to ignore Cecilia and figure her; he would most likely run into Xuan Yu.

"Hmm? That's... Aunt Cecilia! Let's just leave it at that, we can't find Uncle here anyway."

Luo Chen discovered Cecilia's whereabouts, and considering that he hadn't found Siegfried's side for a long time and hadn't seen Xuan Yu either, he flew down.

After drawing his Jizo-soul, Luo Chen landed and quickly cleared the area before sheathing his sword and facing Cecilia.

"Sir, who are you?"

Cecilia had just spoken when Xuan Yu suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stared at Luo Chen's face for a long time.

"Mr. Tarantula, what brings you here?"

"We've run into some problems. Otto took Fu Hua and left, but I don't have his contact information. I thought I'd ask if you guys had any?"

Luo Chen was in a panic. Why was Xuan Yu here? He hadn't seen her just now.

"Why do I always feel like this person looks like Xuan Yu's son?"

Cecilia muttered to herself, "No wonder Xuan Yu said those things before, it really sounds so similar!"

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, we are also unable to contact the bishop at the moment."

"That's it, there's nothing we can do about it."

Not getting the information he wanted, and fearing exposure, Luo Chen turned to leave, but Xuan Yu immediately stopped him.

"Miss Xuanyu, is there anything else?"

"I have a question for Mr. Tarantula."

Xuan Yu's sincere appearance made it impossible for Luo Chen to refuse, but the main reason was the suppression in his bloodline, which simply means he was afraid of his parents.

"Go ahead and ask, but I might not answer."

Luo Chen thought that Xuan Yu would at most ask them about their situation when facing the Second Herrscher, and he could just tell them a little bit about it.

"Alright. I'd like to ask Mr. Tarantula, your real name is Luo Chen, right?"

"No, why would you ask that?"

Luo Chen pretended to be calm, but subconsciously scratched his face. He was starting to get scared. Had he been exposed?

"It's nothing. But Mr. Tarantula, your facial expressions change way too obviously when you lie."

Xuan Yu still managed to catch the subtle changes in Luo Chen's expression, and she remembered very clearly how Luo Chen lied, so she couldn't be mistaken.

"Where did I lie? Miss Xuanyu, please provide some evidence before you speak. I have some things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Luo Chen panicked and was about to leave when Xuan Yu grabbed his shoulder.

"Fine, if you leave, I'll go back and beat you up after all this is over."

"Do whatever you want, I'm the one getting beaten up now anyway!"

Xuan Yu's words were like a devil's whisper, and Luo Chen simply gave up. He really didn't know how Xuan Yu did it; she recognized him after only two glances.

"Xiao Chen, you finally admit it."

Xuan Yu released her grip, smiling as she spoke. Luo Chen shrank back, knowing that Xuan Yu's appearances always meant trouble.

"I'm really curious, Mom, how did you recognize me?"

"Isn't that obvious? You look almost exactly like a combination of me and your dad, it would be strange if I didn't recognize you! Besides, you're my son, how could I not recognize you?"

"It really is Xiao Chen?"

Cecilia had been listening to the mother and son's conversation the whole time. When she heard Luo Chen admit his identity, she covered her mouth and looked at him in surprise.

"Hello Auntie!"

"Hi Xiao Chen. So what's the situation now?"

There were no Honkai Beasts around, so Xuan Yu and the other two didn't need to go to other areas to provide support for the time being, and thus turned all their attention to Luo Chen.

"Well... it's a long story. To put it simply, I come from the future."

"That's it."

Xuan Yu nodded thoughtfully. Her calm demeanor made Luo Chen wonder if she had understood at all, and why she didn't react at all.

"It's from the future, no wonder it's grown so big!"

As Cecilia looked at Luo Chen, she was already imagining what Kiana would look like when she grew up.

"No, Mom, why are you all so indifferent? Can't you at least give me some kind of reaction?"

"Should I yell 'Wow!' and pretend to be really surprised?"

Xuan Yu fully utilized her acting skills, feigning surprise and exclaiming in astonishment, making Luo Chen shake his head awkwardly.

"Please, stop your supernatural powers! Your son can't handle this."

"Alright then, let's get down to business."

Xuan Yu's smile faded; she was eager to know what had happened to bring Luo Chen back from the future.

Luo Chen spent a few minutes briefly explaining everything that had happened from the time he used the Thousand Realms Transcendence to travel through time until just now. Xuan Yu felt more and more heartbroken as she listened, and hugged Luo Chen, gently patting the back of his head.

"Thank you so much for your hard work."

"Mom, I'm not that fragile."

Luo Chen closed his eyes. How long had it been since he had felt this familiar embrace? He didn't know. He only hoped that this moment could pass slowly so that he could make up for everything that had happened before.

"So what are you going to do next?"

Xuan Yu looked Luo Chen up and down and nodded in satisfaction. As expected of her son, he was indeed handsome!

"Find the Second Herrscher, and then defeat her."

Luo Chen clenched his fist. In this situation, Xi Lin couldn't be persuaded to change her mind, so he had to resort to the worst possible solution.

Xuan Yu noticed Luo Chen's disappointment, placed her hand on his fist, and said softly, "Don't blame yourself, none of this is your fault."

"But I could have taken her away, but to prevent anything from going wrong in the future, I had to watch her become a Herrscher and then kill her with my own hands. I..."

Luo Chen's voice gradually faded. He didn't want to do this, but in order to keep the future in his own hands, he had no choice but to do it.

"I've already told you this isn't your fault, why are you so stubborn, you idiot?"

Xuan Yu chopped Luo Chen on the head with her hand. Luo Chen covered his head and stared at Xuan Yu with a wronged expression, which made Xuan Yu and Cecilia laugh.

“Yes, Xiao Chen, Xuan Yu is right. You’re just too stubborn. None of this is your fault.”

Cecilia chimed in, but Luo Chen's expression was so comical that he burst out laughing before he had even finished speaking.
