Honkai Impact 3rd experience, starting with a thousand Herrschers

Cheng Xingming took a sip of the wine in his cup. Although it was cloudy wine from this era, the ancient craftsmanship naturally had its unique aspects, and the wine produced had a distinctive flavor.

It seems the shop owner wasn't lying; the drinks here are indeed the best in the area.

"Really? But judging from the immortal's appearance, it seems he can't grant my wish."

As Otto thought this, his gaze became somewhat intense as he looked at the man in front of him.

"...Reversing life and death is not something I absolutely cannot do, but I certainly cannot do it now."

"What method? As long as Kallen can be resurrected, I would do anything, even if it means making you a Herrscher again."

"Even if I become a Herrscher again, I'm not very confident. Alright, let Void Archives calm him down. I can smell his fear. Seriously, why is a created program like you starting to fear me? I don't even remember how many straws I left behind in the previous civilization... Sigh, it seems like I really did."

Cheng Xing originally thought he hadn't caused much panic in the previous civilization, but then he suddenly remembered the Herrscher of Knowledge's actions and his hands paused.

“I don’t care about those things. I just want to know how to resurrect Kallen. This is my obsession, this is my sin, and I will do it no matter the cost.”

"...Well then, let's make a promise."

"what?"

"I will help you revive Kallen, and in return, you must fulfill my wish."

"it is good."

"I haven't even said what my wish is yet! You answered way too fast!"

"I will fulfill whatever her wish may be, and I will accept whatever sacrifice is necessary, as long as she can be resurrected. Besides, you are a good person, sir. I don't think you would ask me to do anything too difficult, do you?"

"...I suddenly feel a bit strange, you gave me the friend card... Damn! That's weird!"

Cheng Xing covered his forehead, suddenly feeling very strange.

Chapter 125: It would be awkward if we didn't tease each other.

Fu Hua, dressed in a men's fitted outfit, walked into the private room. Feeling the close-fitting fabric, he couldn't help but start having some wild thoughts.

"Why does he know my size so well? Could it be that he was once an acquaintance of mine? Or that we were very close?"

Li Sushang, also a very curious girl who couldn't hold back her questions, immediately stepped forward to ask on Fu Hua's behalf: "Cheng Xing, why do you know so much about the Crimson Kite Immortal's body measurements? Could it be that you were once very, very familiar with her?"

"Oh, no, it's just that buying a larger size of men's clothing isn't a problem."

The atmosphere among the crowd instantly froze. Otto coughed a few times, then looked at the people coming and going outside, marveling at the wonder of this land.

Li Sushang covered her face. In that instant, she suddenly realized that her emotional intelligence was actually quite high.

Fu Hua took a deep breath. Without the support of her past memories, and only possessing simple common sense, she naturally couldn't completely ignore the opinions and comments from the outside world. At this moment, she felt a strange anger in her heart.

If it were the Crimson Iris Immortal before he was betrayed by his disciple, he would probably just watch calmly upon hearing these words, without even a hint of judgment or any inner turmoil.

After all, they are long-lived people who have been conscious and have memories since the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. They have long passed the age where they would be happy or sad because of other people's opinions.

Unfortunately, she has now lost her memory.

The one who survives now is the one who possesses humanity, whose emotions fluctuate with every little thing, not the one who is calm and collected in the face of everything, whose emotions have long been worn away by the passage of time.

Which one is better? That depends on the individual's choice.

"No way, they actually did it."

Cheng Xing touched his head, feeling like a bump was about to form.

Fu Hua, who had been looking weak and tired, became somewhat angry at this remark. Her face flushed as she said, "Although I don't know what connection we have, it's still very impolite to casually comment on a woman's figure."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'll do it again next time... Oh, sorry, it just came out unconsciously, I didn't mean to."

Cheng Xing slumped her face onto the table.

Fu Hua slowly exhaled, feeling that the emptiness and gloom brought about by amnesia had dissipated considerably. Then she sat down next to Cheng Xing, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and prepared to have a proper meal.

Because of the era, the dishes on the table are naturally different from those of the future, but compared to the Red Iris Immortal who has never been particular about food over the years, these dishes are much better than those simple meals.

Feeling the taste on her tongue and the satisfaction of filling her stomach, Fu Hua couldn't help but feel a sense of fulfillment in being alive.

At that moment, she noticed the person beside her. He was just leaning on the table, his face turned to the side, quietly watching her. For some reason, she straightened her clothes with a hint of unease and then asked, "What's wrong? Was there something wrong with how I ate just now?"

"It feels like someone who's gotten used to eating only leafy greens in prison suddenly gets to eat a big barbecue feast outside. So even immortals shouldn't just be chasing after simple meals."

"...I don't know what I was like before, but I must not have eaten these dishes for a long time."

"That's perfect. Let me show you some of the delicious food available in this world during this trip. To be honest, I'm quite curious about just how many delicacies exist in this era, and whether there are any dishes that have been lost to time."

Li Sushang looked at the two people, then at the Rakshasa man beside her, and then quietly leaned closer and whispered, "Do you think these two people might be..."

"All we need to do is observe calmly."

Otto watched the two people in front of him with a smile as he drank his wine. He suddenly felt that this journey might offer some interesting entertainment in addition to reviving Kallen.

The opportunity to revive Kallen has been found. All that remains is for this mysterious person to find a way to gather the necessary elements for her resurrection... Of course, it's also possible that he can gather the reward himself.

But since there's a solution now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"So, the reason you're so flat-chested is because you used to eat simple meals and didn't get enough nutrition, which is why you look perfectly natural in men's clothing."

Fu Hua's eye twitched, and she looked at the man beside her, asking, "Cheng Xing, did you do this on purpose?"

Cheng Xing straightened up, then thought seriously for a moment, looked at Fu Hua beside him, and said seriously, "Well... maybe it's because of habit, but if I don't make some jokes, I always feel a little awkward."

…………

Fu Hua calmly drank the soup ladled from the earthenware pot into the bowl. The chicken soup was indeed well-made; the flavor of the meat had infused into the soup, making it very delicious.

Li Sushang served several dishes to this person, who was considered her grandmaster, explaining that these were all famous signature dishes in the area.

Otto quietly stroked the coffin beside him, softly recounting some interesting anecdotes from their journey.

Cheng Xing lay motionless, as if his face was pressed against the table.

Yes, this scene looks very harmonious and peaceful.

After the waiter watched the group leave the private room with a strange look, he glanced at the pattern on the table that looked as if someone had been pressed down onto the surface and squeezed out with force. He couldn't help but sigh.

"What a thick skin!"

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they decided on their next destination.

"Based on the information we've gathered along the way, it seems that Lin Chaoyu has established a new Taixu Sect at Tianqiong Peak."

Upon hearing the familiar name Lin Chaoyu, Fu Hua, who was standing next to Cheng Xing, stared at him in a daze.

Cheng Xing noticed Fu Hua's puzzled expression and then said, "From what I know, that's your eldest disciple, a child you raised from a young age."

"...Is that so? Then why did they do that back then?"

"It is said that back then, because of your obsession with slaying demons, you went mad and even killed your own disciples who had gone mad. Perhaps they felt that you were too ruthless, or perhaps they were worried that they might also be killed by you in the future because they had gone mad, so those 7 disciples gathered together to strike first."

Cheng Xing, seemingly unconcerned, said, "But don't worry, because you've just been resurrected, your meridians and cultivation levels are not as good as before. But with me and those traitorous disciples around, none of them will escape."

"Um... thank you."

For some reason, Fu Hua felt a sense of security from this guy who was sometimes serious and sometimes carefree.

That was a feeling that neither the Crimson Iris Immortal of yesteryear, nor even Hua, who was a fusion warrior even earlier, had ever experienced.

Chapter 126: Someone Without Uncle B

The group was walking along the road when Otto suddenly seemed to have seen something interesting. He patted Li Sushang on the shoulder and said, "I think I just saw something interesting, Miss Li Sushang. Can you take me to see it?"

Li Sushang looked at Otto beside her blankly, not knowing what he was doing at this moment. Then, as if she could see through the wink the man in front of her was giving her in an instant, she glanced at the two people not far away and understood immediately.

A mischievous smile seemed to appear on her face. After a wicked grin, she followed Otto and ran off from the group.

Cheng Xing and Fu Hua watched as the two people left the scene at an almost fleeing speed, quickly disappearing into the crowd and disappearing from sight.

I really don't know how Otto's skinny body could carry such a thick coffin and leave so quickly.

Incidentally, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Cheng Xing used a kind of illusion on Otto. To outsiders, he appeared to be a handsome young man with a huge sword box on his back, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

After watching the two people leave, Cheng Xing changed the subconscious of those around him, making them automatically ignore him and Fu Hua, before continuing, "I apologize for making some rather excessive jokes earlier, but because of that, you and I have become closer. We're friends now, so feel free to ask me anything."

Was everything you did before to bring us closer?

“I don’t usually joke about other people’s bodies. The clothes you’re wearing were specially customized by me based on the measurements I took, to ensure that your waist, arms and legs fit well. You’re much more relaxed now, much better than when you looked so tired and empty.”

Fu Hua looked at Cheng Xing's calm smile, but suddenly felt as if his face was radiating some kind of light.

Shaking her head to clear her mind of the hallucination-like scene, Fu Hua continued, "Thank you, but I will not give you the Feather Dust."

"Well, I see."

Cheng Xing, however, seemed to have anticipated this response and simply nodded calmly.

This surprised Fu Hua, who then asked, "Aren't you going to keep asking? Aren't you going to continue saying that this is something that could involve me regaining my memories?"

“But you already said before that you wouldn’t entrust it to me, which proves that you don’t trust me enough. I’m not used to forcing others. I respect your choice. Maybe it’s not the right time for you. When you feel that the memories of the past have reached the point where you have no choice but to take them back, when you feel that you can trust me, then you can give me the Feather Dust.”

"No need to worry, we have plenty of time. I have enough time to accompany you to see the myriad landscapes of this world."

After Cheng Xing finished speaking, he continued walking forward. There, not far away, there seemed to be a stall selling pastries.

"Why are you so good to me?"

Fu Hua looked at the man's back with a complicated expression.

"What a strange question! I just felt sorry for you when I saw how painful and weak you looked. Although you're not exactly an old friend of mine, my old friends are your friends. If I don't take good care of you, they'll definitely stab me in the back."

Cheng Xing arrived at the stall, chatted with the stall owner whose influence had been temporarily lifted for a while, and then bought some pastries.

"...just for others?"

"Why does that sound a bit like you're jealous?" Cheng Xing looked at Fu Hua with a wry smile, then handed her the pastry and said, "Although it's not this world, it's still... Never mind, it's nothing. Just think of it as me being moved by Kabuto's long years of protecting the Red Lotus Sage, so I wanted to help you in your current state and become your friend."

"Eat up, these are the ones I just picked out, they're definitely the sweetest ones!"

Fu Hua took a piece of pastry from the pastry and put it in her mouth, chewing it continuously, feeling the sweet taste bursting from the tip of her tongue and flowing down her throat into her body. Then, her eyes quietly gazed at the man in front of her who was smiling and eating pastries with her.

Is it sweet?

"Mmm...it's very sweet."

Two people hiding in the alley were secretly observing the two people who were eating pastries.

Li Sushang watched Cheng Xing's series of methods and listened to the magical artifact that Otto had somehow obtained, which allowed him to clearly hear the words from such a distance.
