Looking into Xilin's expectant eyes for a moment, Cheng Xing felt for some reason as if he had been tricked, but then he thought about it and it didn't seem wrong.
"Yes! I will definitely keep my promise."
"Okay, I only have one wish...can you hug me?"
"...Just a hug?"
"You understand what I mean."
“…Ah…this…I…”
At this moment, Cheng Xing, who had already built a harem but was still a virgin, had a flushed face. Although he had seen such scenes more than once in various works, he was at a loss when he experienced it firsthand.
"Cirin, wouldn't it be more meaningful to do this on the night after the wedding?"
"I don't want that! It won't be like this now, with just you and me!"
Bella: …………
"But I'm really not ready to take on the responsibility of your whole life yet."
Are you still running away?
After hearing Xilin's question, Cheng Xing couldn't come up with any of his many excuses for traveling... Yes, he was still running away from it all this time.
Once that kind of relationship occurs, it means that from now on, you will not only live for yourself, but for the people you love and for the people you should take on everything for.
Then life will be completely turned upside down.
Sometimes he's like that, longing for change, but when something that could truly change everything is about to happen in front of him, he always feels a bit evasive.
“Cheng Xing, maybe you’re not ready for everything yet, but I really don’t want to wait any longer. I’m really afraid that in the end you will choose to sacrifice yourself to save everyone… I’m really afraid that one day you will never come back,” Xilin held Cheng Xing’s hands and placed them on her heart. “Can you put my mind at ease, my love?”
“…Cirin, do you know what this means? It means that neither of us can have any regrets anymore.”
"I have never regretted being with you, in that snowy and icy place, in that cold and cruel tower... Only you, only your embrace, could make me feel warm... So Cheng Xing, do you regret being with me?"
"...I don't regret it...I love you, Sirin."
"I love you too, Cheng Xing."
The small wooden boat suddenly expanded and transformed into a giant wooden ship that was tens of meters long, with several floors of pavilions on board.
Cheng Xing and Xi Lin sat together on the bed in the same room, then looked at each other affectionately and embraced each other, passionately responding to each other's love.
Meanwhile, Bella stood quietly outside the attic, gazing at the quantum sea, which seemed to remain unchanged and empty.
Its senses, far exceeding those of any normal living being, constantly received all sorts of sounds from inside the attic. The once calm Bela's face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
"Is this kind of thing really fun?"
Bella listened to the Queen's voice, which was tinged with tears but filled with joy, and couldn't help but ask.
After an unknown amount of time, Bella seemed to hear the Queen's command and quickly went to the attic room.
Then, as soon as she went in, the door to the back room closed.
Bella seemed to understand something for some reason.
...I don't know how much time passed...
Cheng Xing stood at the bow of the ship, looking around at the Quantum Sea, which remained unchanged in color. He had an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, and his expression was full of complex emotions.
"From today onwards, I've officially embarked on the path of adulthood... But is it really okay to go all out on my first time? Why do I have this feeling that I'm being... How weird!"
Cheng Xing always felt like he was the one being suppressed, and now that he thought about it, it seemed like he had fallen into a trap.
Celine has won a resounding victory!
Chapter 222: The Promise
Sirin opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, which was somewhat familiar but still quite unfamiliar. She then looked at Bella, who was still sleeping beside her. Her previously groggy consciousness instantly cleared up, and she understood what had happened.
"Hehe! Bronya, Raiden Shin, and that newcomer Kiana... No matter how much of an advantage you have, the one who wins now is me, Sirin!"
Although Celine still felt a bit sore, the joy she felt made her feel incredibly comfortable. If she hadn't called Bella over because she couldn't hold on any longer, she probably would have slept for a while longer.
"Your Majesty, aren't you worried about the Honkai..."
Bella, who was in a light sleep, heard what was said and opened her eyes to ask.
"Honkai... impossible."
Sirin shook her head and said, "I shouldn't have considered the Honkai as an opponent in the first place. Cheng Xing is someone who always makes things very clear."
"The Honkai, the destruction and tragedy it has caused over the years, is something that Cheng Xing simply cannot avoid. For Cheng Xing, the Honkai is the enemy, and that position will never change."
"But Your Majesty, you also caused great destruction during the Second Honkai Impact. A large number of people must have perished in that Honkai Impact. Why didn't Cheng Xing have any objections to this?"
"Yes, why? Maybe he just has an excuse to convince himself, because what I did back then was only for revenge... Maybe to him and those people, I had the right to do it."
"I'm just doing my part to seek justice for the world on behalf of those dead children... Okay, Bella, I'm going to sleep a little longer."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
Bella seemed to understand something. She got out of bed, covered her previously naked body with clothes, and then went outside to see Cheng Xing, who was standing at the bow of the ship with a cigarette in his mouth.
Cheng Xing felt a little awkward when he saw Bella. She had been innocently dragged into the battlefield. She had wanted to refuse, but Xilin had shut her up and she had been pulled up on her own.
"Lord Cheng Xing, I would like to ask, in your opinion, is the Queen, who caused the Second Honkai Impact and brought enormous destruction and casualties to human civilization, an enemy that needs to be eliminated?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xing's somewhat embarrassed expression disappeared, and he calmly looked at Bella and said, "This is indeed a very serious question. It seems that Sirin also told you something... In my situation at the time, Sirin... may have made mistakes, but what she did was indeed reasonable. I cannot expect a girl who has been abused, or even lost everything, not to seek revenge after gaining great power."
"But what about the tragedies that Her Majesty has created?"
"...Of course I will take responsibility for those mistakes."
Cheng Xing looked out at the calm sea and saw a huge white tree that seemed to stretch endlessly towards the sky.
His eyes were filled with some indescribable will at that moment.
"Sirin's mistake, my mistake, their sins, the trial of collapse... I will resolve all of these."
"Lord Cheng Xing, although it may be a bit presumptuous of me to say this, please remember that you are carrying the Queen's heart on your back, and you are the foundation upon which the Queen will continue to live in this world and maintain her human identity. So please cherish your life and please do not sacrifice it casually."
Bella bent down and solemnly pleaded with the man in front of her, though she didn't understand how he was going to bear those mistakes or how he was going to resolve the errors he had made in the past.
But Bella could see the unwavering determination in the man's eyes.
"...I'm sorry, I also..."
Cheng Xing was abruptly changing the subject.
"Don't worry about it. For me, it's all worth it to make Her Majesty happy. And Her Majesty, the most real thing is that if you can be happy, then Her Majesty will surely be happy too. So please don't be so polite. You can use my body as you please."
"hiss!"
Cheng Xing gasped. Such an enticing statement was really making him eager to try it! After all, men and women trying this for the first time often get bored with it.
However, Cheng Xing wasn't one to get lost in things. He took a deep breath, calmed his desires, and continued to look at the ever-churning world bubbles in the distance.
"...The past anchor point has been set; it's time to set the current anchor point."
Before long, the huge wooden ship sailed into a giant bubble.
The usual feeling of weakness returned to my body, and the craving for food surged into my brain once again, making my body start to become somewhat out of control.
But if this continues, with the expansion of the world, I will surely be caught up again and return to that place.
I don't want to hurt others anymore.
The young girl huddled in the dimly lit alley, her body trembling slightly. The inner conflict caused her body to tremble uncontrollably.
It felt as if someone was whispering in his ear.
“Go and suck their blood. They are monsters that need to suck blood to survive. Why should you hold back? You are different from those people. You should do this. You are not wrong.”
"No, you must overcome this impulse. You can't hurt others anymore!"
But it was so hard to bear! That feeling of hunger, that urgent urge to crave blood, it was so hard to bear!
Suddenly, the girl heard footsteps entering the alley.
She suddenly felt a sense of relief that someone had come and she would no longer have to go hungry, but the thought also filled her body with fear.
"...Do you need any help?"
He sounds like a very gentle boy.
The girl looked up and saw that the other person had short, silky white hair just like hers, and those clear black and white eyes were looking at her with a very gentle gaze, just like an older sister.
"Sorry……"
The girl's voice sounded like she was crying.
"It's ok."
The boy seemed unaware of the terrifying things that were about to happen, and he responded to her gently.
The girl could no longer suppress her physical instincts. The crimson light in her eyes was dazzling at that moment. Then she opened her mouth, revealing her two sharp teeth, and pounced on him, biting hard into the boy's neck.
"Ah! It hurts!"
However, the girl's teeth were damaged the moment she bit down, because at that moment she felt as if she had bitten something harder than steel. The intense pain suppressed her body's thirst for blood.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry. I was originally going to let you drink some blood, but I forgot that my body is now far stronger than it was before."
Cheng Xing scratched his head, slightly embarrassed.
In the dimly lit alley, a girl covering her mouth was looking pitifully at an adult man with tears streaming down her face.
This looks like a crime scene!
Chapter 223: A Promise That Cannot Be Given
"It tastes so good!"
The white-haired girl bit a straw, her eyes seemingly sparkling as she sipped her drink.
Cheng Xing looked at Yuexia, who looked exactly like Theresa but had a completely different temperament and demeanor. Although he tried hard to recall the story of that midsummer night, too much time had passed, and Yuexia had hardly appeared in the subsequent plot, so Cheng Xing had really forgotten everything.
However, physical ailments like bloodlust are easy to resolve; all it takes is the ability to make lies come true. To reiterate, this ability is limited to what Cheng Xing himself can do: altering lies to make them reality.
If he himself cannot do it, then the lie is truly just a lie.
