This heroine is so despicable

Like a cheetah pouncing on an antelope, the predator will attack the throat first and become more ferocious after tasting blood.

Xing gently called Kafka's name while exploring downwards. When she was about to tear off the last piece of clothing to explore the peak, Kafka held her face with both hands:

"..."

"..."

Xing's pupils widened slightly, and he subconsciously stopped his other movements.

After a few seconds, the two slowly relaxed. Xing, as if all her strength had been sucked away by the previous action, suddenly collapsed into Kafka's arms, turning from a predator back into a kitten.

After a long while, she raised her head and looked at the other person:

"Kafka... not angry?"

"It is a child's privilege and nature to act like a spoiled brat to adults... And to be honest, I don't mind Xing doing this..."

Kafka's hand gently stroked her hair. For a moment, Xing felt that all her troubles and anxieties were brushed away by Kafka, disappearing without a trace, and replaced by an incomparable sense of security, just like... being in her mother's arms.

It’s really strange… In the past, the title of “Mom” could only arouse something deep inside her… something…

[…Beastiality? Or…XP?]

...I guess so, but now it seems more like attachment and closeness... Of course, the only thing that remains unchanged is the possessiveness...

[Laochongma is rebellious, I understand]

Xing didn't care about her other self's teasing. She looked at Kafka:

"If...if after everything is over, Kafka can stay by my side forever? I...want Kafka to be everything to me..."

The latter closed his eyes and gently kissed Xing on the forehead:

"Elio promised all of us a future. If this is what Xing wants, I can agree to it first...but..."

Kafka hugged Xing tightly, holding her close to her.

"No matter what, I will be with you tonight... Listen to me, sleep peacefully, Xing... I won't leave..."

Slowly, Xing felt his eyelids becoming heavy, and at the same time, an irresistible drowsiness slowly came over him.

As her consciousness gradually faded, Xing felt unwilling in her heart - she knew that Kafka was looking for the best path among all the possible paths and the only ray of hope among all the worst endings under the guidance of Elio...

She also knew that she couldn't keep Kafka away for too long, and she also knew that Kafka loved her...

But... just like a child who knows his mother is busy with work but still wants her to spend more time with him...

Xing wished that she could spend more time with Kafka...even just a little bit...

Finally, before she fell into a deep sleep, she seemed to hear a familiar voice again:

[…Ah…I really can’t do anything about you…]

[What happened... I don't care...]

……What?

……

"Xing, listen to me, wake up..."

Hazily, Xing slowly opened her eyes and saw Kafka hugging her, but... the scenery around her seemed to have changed a little, and the touch beneath her was no longer the soft bed.

She sat up slowly and found herself and Kafka lying in a strange hut, which made her mind clearer all of a sudden.

Judging from the condition of the room, it seemed that no one had been there for some time. A thin layer of dust had accumulated on the few old furniture. Fortunately, the mattress they were lying on was relatively clean in comparison.

"Where...is this?"

"Huh? Don't you know?"

Kafka was a little surprised.

"Silver Wolf told me that you were lost in the space station once and ended up in another world. Later, she entered the simulated universe of the Black Tower with you and saw your memories. She also told me about it..."

Xing then realized that he seemed to, might have... traveled through time again?

But this place... doesn't look like Teyvat? Last time, I fell asleep with Xinhai in my arms. Even if I traveled back to Teyvat, I should have returned to the secret base on Umi Island, right?

But here...

Xing glanced at the old-looking TV in the room, as well as other electrical appliances and decorations that looked equally old - these were not something that could be found in Teyvat at all.

And... I always feel a little cold...

Because Kafka took off her coat and everything else before going to bed, Xing quickly took out his spare clothes of the same style from his star core space and put them on her, and then put on the same clothes himself.

Kafka smiled and teased, "Now they are really dressed as mother and daughter~"

Xing put her hands on her hips: "Why can't it be a couple's outfit?"

As soon as Xing stood up, she suddenly felt something strange about her body. For some reason, the star core in her body was throbbing and she almost lost her balance.

Kafka, who was standing by, quickly supported Xing, her expression becoming slightly more serious:

"Xing, your star core seems... not very stable?"

It is true - the last time this happened was when we were dealing with Doommon, but compared to that time, Xing has gradually adapted and become accustomed to the power of the star core during this journey.

She quickly calmed herself down in order to control the star core that was showing signs of going berserk.

What the hell is going on…are you okay?

……

Unexpectedly, her other self, who used to answer her quickly, was now silent, as if asleep.

Hello? Hello? Another me? Little star? Little star?

……

Her answer was still silence.

For a moment, Xing inevitably panicked. It was only then that she realized that she had long been accustomed to the existence of her other self...

"Xing, are you okay?"

Kafka, who was standing by, looked at Xing whose expression changed several times and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"No...it's okay!"

Xing didn't want Kafka's mother to worry too much - perhaps the sleep of her other self was related to her unusual time travel?

For example… she had never brought anyone else across time before, but this time there was Kafka’s mother along… Could it be that she was too tired or something?

So... the most urgent thing is to figure out where you are.

Xing came to the window with half of the glass broken, looked out, and found that there was a vast white snowfield outside the house.

She had the impression that she had only seen such scenery in one place - could this be Beloberg?

Kafka, who was standing by, found a few yellowed newspapers in the house:

"This kind of writing... Hmm, the synesthesia beacon can recognize it... Let me see... October 2007... Is this the local calendar?"

Xing also leaned over to take a look, but unfortunately did not find any useful information on it. However... this kind of text is quite similar to Beloberg's.

With nothing to gain, the two had to open the door and go outside. The cool air immediately blew towards them, making Xingleng rub his hands coldly. He quickly mobilized a trace of protective power and took out the fire gun to resist the cold. By the way, he grabbed Kafka's hand beside him.

"Kafka, are you okay?"

The latter seemed not to be accustomed to the cold, and...

"The power of destiny... has weakened a lot..."

Kafka looked at her other hand and shook it loosely.

"It seems that we have really come to another world, but... it seems that it is not completely lost. It seems that we can still use part of it. It's a bit strange..."

She stretched her fingers a few times, and a few lavender spider silks appeared at her fingertips and extended around her, but quickly dissipated.

Kafka shrugged and hugged Xing beside her:

"I didn't bring a weapon or a coat. It looks like I can only rely on you to protect me this time..."

"So why do you care about the coat in this situation?"

Since the other self was not here, he could only complain by himself. Xing held Kafka's hand:

"But...don't worry, I will protect Kafka!"

Kafka smiled:

"It really makes me feel safe. So... where should we go next?"

"Well, this... should we try to find out if there is anyone there first?"

Xing and Kafka checked the other houses around and found that they had been abandoned for a long time, and from the signs, it seemed that the people here left in a hurry.

Without any more information, the two could only walk along the road that was almost buried in the snow and try to follow it.

Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have stuffed a motorcycle or something in the star core space...

As they walked, Xing and Kafka talked about Teyvat. When they were about to reach the next small village, they suddenly found that there seemed to be something in front of them... uh...

"Is that... a world-shattering creation?"

Xing looked uncertainly at the few large fluttering moths that were wandering at the entrance of the village... suspected to be creatures of the Rift Valley.

The reason why I say suspected is that compared to those guys with sharp edges and ice crystal-like structures that I have seen in Beloberg, these big foreheads in front of me undoubtedly look much rounder, and even the overall shape is quite streamlined.

And their color is also very special - the main body is metallic silver-white, but there are pink energy lines on the surface, and there is also a small suspended halo in the position similar to the head.

As soon as these creatures from the world of rifting, which were originally wandering around, saw the two of them, they immediately flew over with an ill-intentioned look on their faces.

There is nothing to say. Facing this kind of enemy who he met for the first time and had little information about, Xing did not dare to be careless. His first move was a killing move, and he smashed the enemy to pieces with a flaming spear.

However, although it seems to be just a small enemy, but... in terms of feel, it is much harder than the Rift Creatures, and seems to be at the same level as the Antimatter Legion.

And just like the creatures from the Rift Valley, after being shattered, their entire bodies turned to ashes, leaving almost no trace.

Because this thing is so similar to the Rift World Creation, Xingdu suspected that this time he did not leave the original world, but only traveled to a remote planet with a machine, and this planet also had a nuclear crisis erupting.

Just as he was thinking, perhaps because he heard the noise here, a little white-haired ball suddenly ran out of the village. The other party seemed to have mistaken them for someone else. After running a few steps and seeing them clearly, he was stunned and froze in place.

Xing just raised his hand to say hello, but the little white-haired ball suddenly ran back to the village as if frightened by something.

"Ah, it seems I've been treated as a suspicious person."

Kafka smiled.

"But... let's go after them and see for ourselves. It would be bad if there are still those things like that in the village."

So the two of them walked into the village, which also seemed to have few people living in it. Kafka took a casual look and found the feet on the ground.

After a while, they came to a small house - it looked like someone had lived there, with firewood piled in the yard and the snow cleared.

Because she was afraid of scaring the children, Xing had already put away the fire gun. She shouted towards the window:

"Little sister, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we are just passing by~"

The two waited patiently. After a long while, a white fluffy head carefully poked out and looked at them warily through the glass window.

Ah...kawaii!

Xing felt that the child was so cute at first sight - he had white hair like Clara, but his eyes were a watery blue. He was frowning slightly and looking at them warily.

Xing waved to the other party, who hesitated for a moment before opening a little window to facilitate the conversation:

"who are you?"

The voice is also very nice, just like Hu Tao's voice when she was a child, a little immature, but you can hear that it is full of energy.

Star crossed her arms:

"My name is Xing, this is Kafka. We... um... got lost and came here. Do you know what the monster at the entrance of the village was just now?"

"Well... Dad said that thing is called Honkai Beast, and it's very dangerous..." The little white dumpling answered in a baby voice.

"Where's your daddy, little guy?"

Kafka asked.

"If it's dangerous, why did he leave you here alone?"
