Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

"Just say you want to die! I'll help you pass on to the afterlife right away!"

"Don't dare!"

Otto waved his hand repeatedly, realizing that the woman's skill was indeed profound.

Although he was somewhat confident in his abilities, his intuition told him that he was absolutely no match for this woman.

"Thank you so much, heroine, for saving my life!"

Otto immediately clasped his hands in greeting, displaying an attitude of "we value loyalty above all else, and we will surely repay this kindness in the future."

"Second brother, what should we do? This woman is really tough, she's a trained fighter. Should we fight her?"

The henchman next to him glanced at the second man who had just made a move.

"Screw you!"

The man called "Second Brother" patted his pants, immediately knelt down, grabbed Cheng Ling Shuang's skirt, and said with snot and tears streaming down his face,

"Heroine, heroine, I was wrong! I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a crying baby to feed. I haven't even found a wife yet... Please, have mercy on me!"

"...You don't even have a wife, so where did the kids come from? You're asking for a beating!"

Cheng Ling Shuang was furious. She had been knocked down and thrown into the restaurant next door in broad daylight. Now she was seething with anger, and her usual calm demeanor had completely vanished.

"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no, heroine, elder sister, auntie, I was wrong, I was wrong... I, Li Gou Dan, hereby swear that I have deeply realized my mistake and will definitely reform myself from now on!"

Li Gou Dan cried even harder when he saw Cheng Ling Shuang raise her hand.

"...Your name is Li Gou Dan?"

Cheng Ling Shuang was stunned for a moment.

"Yes Yes!"

"What about that one just now?"

"His name is Li Yadan."

"...You two are brothers?"

Cheng Ling Shuang was stunned.

"Yes! No, no, no, sworn brothers! Sworn brothers!"

Li Gou Dan quickly said.

"how about you?"

Cheng Ling Shuang glanced at the short man standing next to her.

"Me, me? My name is Li Fugui..."

Li Fugui stammered.

"And who are you to them?"

"I'm Duck Egg's brother... my dear, my own brother!"

Li Fugui said, trembling.

"Like attracts like, I think you've found your own brother."

Cheng Ling Shuang was amused by these people and lost interest in arguing. She put down the table leg, stretched out her foot, and kicked Li Gou Dan's butt.

"Make up for the shopkeeper's belongings. Also, what did this Rakshasa do that you want to beat him up?"

"Yes, I'll compensate you right away, I'll compensate you right away!"

Li Gou Dan immediately took out some silver and handed it to Li Fu Gui next to him, gesturing for him to hurry over and pay the compensation. Then he looked at Otto.

"We think this guy looks smug... oh no, I mean, he looks kind, kind!"

"and then?"

"I thought it would be pretty easy to beat."

Li Gou Dan said honestly.

"You hit me because I look kind?"

Otto thought the Chinese were truly unreasonable.

He said you look like you deserve a beating.

Cheng Ling Shuang glared at him, annoyed.

"So, just because he's a Rakshasa, you want to beat him up?"

"Mainly..."

Li Gou Dan glanced at him guiltily.

"He's a wealthy Rakshasa demon... person."

"..."

"Alright, I understand."

Cheng Ling Shuang waved her hand.

"I have to get going, I'm off."

"and many more!"

Otto said hastily,

"Wait, heroine... this, this is it?"

After asking around for so long and finding out it was a case of murder for money, why did they just ignore it?

"He's after your money and trying to kill you, what does that have to do with me?"

Cheng Ling Shuang pouted.

"Because of you, I was murdered for money and then hit by a car... Oh."

Cheng Ling Shuang pointed to the red mark on her face.

"..."

Otto thought about it carefully, and it seemed... to make a lot of sense!

"The heroine is wise!"

Li Gou Dan quickly offered a compliment.

This heroine is such a good person! Knowing that we were robbing and killing for money just to make a living, she didn't pursue the matter at all.

"I do not know your honorable name, heroine, but I, Li, will certainly repay this kindness!"

"Me? Cheng Ling Shuang."

Cheng Ling Shuang said calmly.

"So it was Cheng..."

Li Gou Dan nodded, then paused for a moment.

"Cheng, Cheng Ling Shuang!!!"

"what happened?"

Cheng Ling Shuang frowned. Although she was one of the Seven Swords of Tai Xu, and her martial arts were unparalleled among the Seven Swords.

However, because she is indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn't compete with the world, she has never been famous. Hearing her name shouldn't elicit this reaction.

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!

Li Gou Dan cried out in despair, "Cheng Ling Shuang... isn't that the person the gang leader wants to kill?"

But, but I, Li Gou Dan, am a dignified seven-foot man. How can a man walk in the world and accept favors from others without giving them back?

"Heroine..."

Having considered this, Li Gou Dan leaned closer and gave Cheng Ling Shuang a deep bow.

"Please be careful on your journey to leave the city!"

"...I understand."

Cheng Ling Shuang gave him a deep look and nodded.

Then she turned around to find an inn to rest, only to find that someone was tugging at the hem of her skirt.

"Heroine, this..."

Otto rubbed his hands together.

"I hope you won't abandon me, heroine... Um, I'm Otto Apocalypse, and I'm lost."

Chapter Six: I Have Met the True Man Chi Yuan

"I've seen plenty of delusional people. A Rakshasa comes to the Divine Land... and immediately asks to see the Crimson Kite Immortal. Are you an idiot?"

Cheng Ling Shuang sat on the bed in the inn, playing with a hairpin in her hand.

"Speaking of which, it's not that I haven't met the immortal before..."

Otto glanced guiltily at Cheng Ling Shuang's hairpin. He had thought that with his strength, he could at least protect himself in this land, but he never expected to encounter such a master in this desert.

"Have you met Master Chiyuan? I don't like people lying. If you dare to lie to me, I will cut out your tongue."

Cheng Ling Shuang snorted coldly.

"No no."

Otto waved his hand, coughed twice, and said...

"Back then, the Mandate of Heaven, uh, that is, the invasion of the Rakshasa Kingdom as you call it, was when I met the True Man Chiyuan on the battlefield."

She also said something to me, and for that reason, I've come to ask the immortal for an answer.

"...What do you mean?"

Cheng Ling Shuang frowned slightly.
