The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

But there was no way around it; the food and snacks Kiana redeemed from the system space were just too good.

It was so good that she lingered there, wanting more.

Ultimately, this led to the successful occurrence of this extremely rare event.

Kiana, who was involved in the incident, also found it quite surreal.

"Let's keep playing cards. We can't set off until Mebius and Qianjie wake up."

Kiana waved her hand and exchanged some more candy for Black Talisman as chips.

Then, she turned around and went into a relatively large tent.

At this very moment, lying in this tent is Yingjie, who appears to be in the prime of his youth but has actually lived for a very long time.

Dr. Möbius...

At this moment, she was lying inside the tent, breathing evenly.

But there was no sign that he was waking up.

Beside them stood the golden figure, drinking from a glass, and Aponia, who surrendered without offering any resistance.

To be honest, recruiting two heroes as easily as this is something Kiana would never have dared to imagine.

But the fact is that after Mebius fell, these two people almost immediately chose to join his side.

Judging from their friendly greetings to Mei, it seems they were willing to join because of Mei?

"Hi~"

Just as Kiana was stunned, a pink figure suddenly hugged her from behind.

"do you miss me?"

"Alicia? What brings you here?"

"Hmm~ Come see my lovely traveler lady, and the sleeping beauty who's still fast asleep?"

Alicia smiled and let go of her hand.

It's clear that she has a positive attitude towards the fact that her team is growing in number.

Perhaps, gradually bringing Yingjie in was part of her plan?

Thinking of this, Kiana couldn't help but ask with some doubt, "Alisia, aren't you worried that I might do something to your friend?"

Chapter Fifteen: How to Paint the World? What is Painting the World?

Hearing this, Alicia smiled and leaned closer to Kiana's ear.

Kiana felt a tingling sensation all over her body.

Her voice sounded weak and gentle, yet it carried a hint of seduction.

“I believe you wouldn’t do that, Miss Traveler; you’ve always been so kind.”

"Oh? How are you sure?" Kiana asked, somewhat surprised.

Alicia smiled slightly: "Because Miss Traveler is a girl who is easily moved to pity."

Her voice is sweet and magnetic, making it very pleasant to listen to.

She is truly a lovely and charming pink fairy.

No wonder Mei always has a meaningful look on her face when she mentions her.

Kiana nodded.

"You have good taste."

"Hehe~ Thank you for the compliment. Oh dear. I didn't expect to receive such praise from Miss Traveler. I'm so happy. I wonder what kind of funny expression Mei will make when she hears this? Hmm~"

Kiana was puzzled when she heard this.

Why did Mei suddenly come up in the first place?

This is really baffling.

"So, Alicia, what's your opinion of Mebius?"

"Her? I have no opinion. Look how happily she's sleeping; she must be tired from playing with Qianjie, right?" Alicia replied with a smile.

"Is a battle where the goal is to kill each other considered playing around?"

Kiana hesitated for a moment.

She couldn't quite understand what kind of play this was.

However, judging from Alicia's appearance, she doesn't seem worried that her two friends will die because of this.

This doesn't make sense for Mei, who claims to deeply love all the heroes.

Kiana felt that either the Alicia in front of her was fake, or she had prepared a backup plan, or... she was certain that Yingjie would not encounter any accidents in this world?

"Hmm~"

As always, Alicia's reaction to Kiana's suspicions was baffling.

Perhaps to her, Kiana's reaction was proof of care and affection.

In short, Kiana always felt that the pink-haired girl who kept circling around her was deliberately toying with her.

It's really strange. Just a few days ago, she was always hanging around Mei, but now she's started hanging around in front of me.

"Alright, Alicia. If there's nothing else, I'd like you to take care of Mebius. If she wakes up, please let me know immediately."

Kiana made this request.

However, just as she was about to leave, Alicia suddenly became unhappy:

"Huh? Are you leaving?"

"What...is something wrong?"

Kiana frowned. She had a premonition that the other party was determined to keep her here.

As it turns out, she was right!

"Miss Traveler~ Please wait with me for Möbius to wake up, please!"

Seeing that Kiana wanted to leave, Alicia immediately shook Kiana's arm and started to act cute.

Kiana's biggest fear is women acting coquettishly towards her.

She has absolutely no resistance to cute girls' coquettishness.

"Alright alright."

Kiana sighed and had no choice but to compromise.

After all, I can't really refuse the other person.

The two then waited inside the tent.

Seeing that there were two exceptionally capable individuals present, Eden smiled and excused himself to leave, citing the crowd.

She had something she wanted to say to Mei, but the main focus was on asking some rather private questions.

---

The town at night.

on the square.

A young blue-haired painter, holding a palette, was engrossed in his work.

Meanwhile, Mei was admiring a sketch by the young author next to Gretsch's sketchbook.

The painting depicts Black Symbol and Bronya, among others.

Because Gretchen's drawing skills were so superb, the cards in their hands were drawn clearly and looked incredibly lifelike.

Mei couldn't help but exclaim, "No matter how many times I see it, I still feel that Gretchen, if your talent were in my time, you could definitely have become a world-renowned painter, right?"

"Ok?"

Greta turned her head and glanced at Mei.

Without saying a word, he continued drawing.

Perhaps for her, becoming a so-called world-renowned painter is not worth mentioning at all?

Mei thought to herself.

Then, without turning her head, she said, "Are you here to see Gretchen, Eden?"

Even as she was speaking, Mei had already realized that Eden had arrived.

Although she didn't know why the other party had come, she thought about it carefully and it must be related to Ying Jie, right?

"Yes, and not just that."

As if to confirm Mei's guess, Eden crossed his arms and answered casually as he approached.

Upon hearing this, Mei became interested.

She slowly turned to look at Eden and asked, "Oh? So, besides visiting Gretchen, what is your purpose?"

"Hehe, Mei. Would you mind taking a walk with me?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Mei knew Eden quite well, so she did not refuse the other party's request.

After telling Gretchen not to wander off, the two of them slowly strolled through the ruins of the town, which had been destroyed beyond recognition by the Thousand Calamities.

A gentle evening breeze caressed me, and the cool air instantly lifted my spirits.

Of course, the two of them would feel even better if the wildfires that were still burning could be extinguished.

"Eden".

After walking for a while, Mei realized she was far from the camp and asked, "Can you explain why you came now?"

Eden then stopped and looked around at the desolate ruins of the town.

Although the place suffered an extremely terrible attack, there was no rioting, except for the sound of raging fire.
