The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

As the leader of the Fallen Angels, I am really only responsible for fighting the Honkai most of the time...

And do guys really care what they wear to a party? Shouldn't they just wear a formal dress and neat clothes?

But since I'm going to dance with Alicia... I should prepare seriously...

"Let's go then?" Alicia said with a smile.

"Um……"

Chapter 26: Banquet?

When Zhu Yufeng and Alicia arrived at the venue, the banquet had already begun. Zhu Yufeng really didn't like this kind of hustle and bustle, so he planned to only attend the dance afterwards. He chose to come at this time in order to attract as little attention as possible.

The facts were just as he expected. Most people were immersed in the joy of the banquet and the happiness of victory. Not many people paid attention to them, but it did not go unnoticed.

Hen sipped the red wine in the goblet and nodded secretly. It seemed that Feng's taste in clothing was indeed good. Standing together with Alicia, they looked quite a perfect match.

It was worth it that he risked his life to bring the two together under the nose of Dr. Mobius.

Paduo, who had been feeling a little depressed because she hadn't seen Zhu Yufeng for a long time, instantly perked up when she saw Zhu Yufeng appear at the venue. Then, she saw Alicia beside him and became depressed again.

Desdobia, who was standing next to her, touched her chin and said, "I didn't expect Feng to be so tasteful and handsome... At first glance, most people would really think that he and Alicia are a couple. But, little Pado, don't be discouraged, as long as they haven't confirmed their relationship, the battle is not over yet!" It doesn't matter if it's confirmed, as long as the hoe is used well, there is no wall that cannot be dug down.

Then she patted Padu on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. The next dance is the highlight. Come on, little Padu!"

Paddo nodded vigorously.

Mebius, who was talking with Mei about scientific research, also noticed this. After seeing how the two were dressed, he curled his lips and thought about how she would bargain if Zhu Yufeng wanted her to exercise again.

At least let Yufeng give her a snack in the morning! The kind that he made himself!

Wei Erwei looked at Zhu Yufeng's clothes with great interest and whispered, "If I remember correctly, the combination of Yufeng's dress is very similar to Lilith's taste."

Then she changed to a frantic tone and asked, "What do you usually focus on?"

Then he changed back: "I've said it before, I'm not interested in fighting Honkai, I'm only interested in Yu Feng, am I wrong?"

That’s true…but is your behavior really okay?

Ji'e recalled what she had seen and heard in her previous life. She knew that Lilith had left her mark on Yu Feng silently in her own way, and would accompany Yu Feng throughout her life in this way. Even Ji'e, who possessed half of Wei'e's talent, had to admit that Lilith was too strong in this aspect.

It's true that Weiwei is a genius, but she didn't put any skill points into love. To be precise, it wouldn't have made much difference even if she had at that time.

After all, almost everyone thought that Lilith and Zhu Yufeng were a couple at that time. Even now, a certain Kevin whose name is very convenient to reveal and a certain masked man whose name is not convenient to reveal both think so.

Sometimes she even wondered if this was also going in line with Lilith’s idea. It didn’t matter if Yu Feng didn’t agree to her. As long as others thought so, it meant that they were lovers in disguise.

But this time, Lilith no longer has the great advantage that she had in her previous life.

Ji Evil narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Magician, is your magic... ready?"

"Of course, I am the greatest magician of this era. My magic will surely attract everyone's attention."

"That's good... If I use the same trick Lilith used, it will be the same if I use it again, right? Hehe..."

Zhu Yufeng suddenly felt like a storm was coming. Alicia, who was standing beside him, looked at Zhu Yufeng's arm, wondering whether she should hold his hand and say hello to the others...

But she gave up soon after.

Because she found that Feng was really not interested in the banquet. He took the plate, got the food and sat aside to eat. He had no intention of talking to others at all.

She finally understood why Feng found the party boring.

There is really no point in having a party without interacting with anyone.

How could this be? Feng had to correct this bad habit of hers. Even Kevin would organize team-building activities. Although she had never been there, Kevin was a sunny boy before he became a cold-faced cool guy. The team-building activities he organized wouldn't be that bad, right?

What Alicia didn't know was that Zhu Yufeng was almost always present at every team-building event organized by Kevin, just like now, where he would just eat his noodles and leave by himself.

In fact, this is also a major flaw of Zhu Yufeng, because he believes that most of the people present will die sooner or later, so there is no need to get to know them, and they are not worth getting to know.

And in fact it is almost the same. At every banquet there are fewer old faces and more new faces.

Alicia would feel depressed for the sacrifice of others, but he would not, because he didn't even know who made the sacrifice, let alone feel depressed for them. At most, he would show respect, that's all.

She was just about to introduce Feng to others when someone here took the initiative to greet Zhu Yufeng: "Hello, Feng, I didn't expect you to come to this banquet. Everyone said you wouldn't come."

Zhu Yufeng raised his eyes and saw a young man with golden hair and some freckles on his cheeks.

Who is this? He subconsciously looked at Alicia, looking for help.

Alicia looked at the young man and thought for a while, then said, "Are you Vincent?"

The young man's blue eyes revealed enthusiasm: "Yes, I didn't expect you still remember me, Alicia."

Vincent? Who? No idea.

Zhu Yufeng originally decided to continue eating and ignore him, but after thinking about it, he was after all now Alicia's friend, and if he always ignored others it would lower other people's opinion of Alicia, so he decided to pay attention to Vincent for the time being.

He put down the knife and fork in his hand, stood up and said, "Sorry, I don't remember knowing you... Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Vincent didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled and said, "Of course you don't know me. After all, you are always so focused during training and go on many missions. However, as the most popular rising star of Fire Moth, many people know you."

"Is that so..." Zhu Yufeng nodded, "Thank you very much for your attention to me."

"Just as I thought." Vincent smiled, "You're not very good at communicating with others, right?"

I just don't think it's necessary... Well, I'm really not good at communicating with strangers, Zhu Yufeng thought.

Vincent looked at Alicia again: "Everyone is guessing that Feng is not interested in this kind of banquet. They all say that in Feng's eyes, it would be better to kill more Honkai beasts with this time. I think that with you here, Alicia, he will come anyway."

"You're right." Zhu Yufeng did not deny it. He came here for Alisha. If Alisha hadn't invited him, he would never have come. He might even be continuing his mission outside with Qianjie.

Vincent was a little surprised by Zhu Yufeng's answer. He quickly glanced at Alicia and Zhu Yufeng, then said with a smile, "Is that so? I understand. I won't bother you for the rest of the time. You two must have a good time at this banquet."

Then Vincent left.

Zhu Yufeng: “…”

What's wrong with this guy? He just came over to say hello and left? Is he so boring? He even made him stand up and disturbed him from eating... That's why he doesn't like banquets or anything like that!

However, Alicia read something else from Vincent's eyes. Does he... think that he and Feng have a special relationship?

Suddenly my cheeks felt hot...

"Feng." Ying's voice sounded. Zhu Yufeng and Alicia both looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that Ying was also wearing a dress and holding a little girl's hand.

"Wow, is this your sister Ling? So cute." Alicia squatted down and said, "Can I pinch your face?"

Ling blinked her big eyes and nodded, so Alicia started to act without any hesitation.

Zhu Yufeng came to Ying's side, looked at Ling who was pinched on the face by Alicia and said: "She is still the same as I remembered... That's great."

Ying said softly: "I never had the chance before, but now I can finally say those words to you."

Zhu Yufeng looked at Ying.

Ying also looked at Zhu Yufeng: "Thank you, Feng. Thank you for protecting Ling at that time. Thank you for preventing me from becoming a failed sister."

Zhu Yufeng looked away, feeling unworthy of such gratitude.

"You are not a failed sister. To Ling, you have always been the best sister in the world," he said.

In his previous life, in his original plan, he wanted to stand by and watch the soldiers take action, but the moment he saw Ling's pure eyes, he remembered his daily life with Ling. It would be painful if the bullet hit her body, right?

He finally softened his heart and decided to protect Ling. He could have killed all the soldiers in front of Ling, but he didn't do it. He remembered what a Kamen Rider's grandmother said: "Children are treasures given to mankind by God."

In the days before that, he had been teaching Ling to believe in this world and love this world.

So he didn't want to do it in front of Ling and let the child see the cruelty of the world. Therefore, he didn't fight back.

But in the final analysis, this was nothing more than his own wishful thinking to comfort himself. He had long anticipated that the soldiers would use Honkai energy interference bombs on him. He estimated that he would not die, but would just lie in bed for a while. During the time he lay dead, Ling would probably still be killed.

But things are always unexpected. After witnessing him being hurt by the soldiers, Ling chose to commit suicide out of misunderstanding and great anger, and the twelfth Herrscher awakened.

Unlike the original plot, Ling was sealed voluntarily in the end.

He always felt guilty about it and ashamed of his meanness.

Ying looked at Zhu Yufeng, and his figure appeared in her eyes. At this moment, it seemed as if the hustle and bustle of the world had nothing to do with her.

Chapter 27: Banquet?

The atmosphere of the banquet was intense, but Zhu Yufeng felt that it had nothing to do with him. He was still reflecting on his actions in the incident of the Twelfth Herrscher.

At this moment, Kevin's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Feng."

Zhu Yufeng looked over when he heard the voice. It was Kevin, Sue and Kosmo who were wearing formal suits. Speaking of which, Padu and Desdobia seem to be on good terms recently. Kosmo, you should at least show some concern for your childhood sweetheart.

Kevin looked Zhu Yufeng up and down and said, "Is this... Lilith's recommendation?"

Su beside him had already put her hands in her pockets, ready to cover Kevin's mouth with a handkerchief.

Zhu Yufeng nodded.

Kevin smiled lightly. He knew it. After all, Lilith had told Mei that their leader never cared about clothing matching and needed her help. So when he saw Zhu Yufeng for the first time, he thought that this was probably arranged by Lilith.

Kosmo looked at Zhu Yufeng without saying anything.

(As expected of that woman, there are absolutely no flaws... But, you always listen too much to Feng's instructions and don't care whether Feng is right or wrong. Feng... can't go down that path like in the last life.)

Noticing that Kosmo had been staring at him, Zhu Yufeng looked at Kosmo with a teasing look in his eyes: "Kosmo, there will be a dance party later. Will you and Desdobia dance?"

Kosmo's body stiffened, and his eyes began to wander: "... This, I... shouldn't..."

(Why are we talking about Destobia... I've been so busy with training these days that I forgot about this... Besides, I can't dance...)

Kevin glanced at Kosmo and said, "She seems to have been looking forward to your invitation."

No matter which one or two of them, he would be worried. No, Feng's situation was special and he really couldn't go to find Lilith yet, but Kosmo, you...

Kosmo: “!”

The boy's cheeks turned red, and even his voice lost its previous mature feeling: "Kevin, what are you talking about...I...she...ahem, Feng, have you found a dance partner?"

What an abrupt way to change the subject.

Zhu Yufeng complained in his heart, but seeing as Kos was about to explode, he didn't ask any more questions. He naturally took over the conversation and said, "It's Alicia."

Alicia, who had already pinched Ling's face, heard Zhu Yufeng's answer, and her cheeks turned a little rosy again.

Feng...admitted it naturally.

Seeing Kevin coming over, Alicia was almost going to have PTSD. This guy would always mention Lilith every time he showed up, and he never made any mistakes...

Fortunately, what Kevin said this time was all within her expectations, but it was inevitable that she would feel a little discouraged. But at least now Feng had no intention of looking for Lilith, although she didn't know why...

"Allysia?" Kevin looked at Allysia, and after calculating that he seemed unable to beat Allysia now, he decided not to express his opinion for the time being. What's more, Feng had acknowledged that Allysia was his dance partner, so he didn't need to say anything more.

He knew what Alicia felt for Zhu Yufeng. After all, he attended the last banquet. But he still felt that Lilith and Zhu Yufeng were a good match.

Kevin still doesn't understand why he was beaten up by Alicia at the last banquet. He just thinks that Alicia wanted to see who is stronger between him and her.

Seeing that Kevin finally stopped talking, Su breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the handkerchief in her pocket also loosened.

It was so hard for him to protect Kevin's life.

"As for dancing, I know a little bit." This thought inexplicably flashed through Sakura's mind.

Soon, the party came to an end with casual chatting, and the dance began.

The dance was completely voluntary. For Hen, there was no need for him to attend. He just stayed to confirm the situation. Most of the older warriors had already left, so this was time left for the young people.

"Huh? Vincent? I thought you were no longer interested in these." Hen noticed that the blond young man next to him had no intention of leaving.

"After all, I am past this age now." Vincent said with a smile, "It's just that I am a little interested in the stories between the younger generations now."

Hen's eyes moved, and he hooked one hand around Vincent's neck and whispered, "Love Lishia and Feng?"

Vincent raised an eyebrow: "I didn't expect you would care about these things, Hen."

"After all, they are both very outstanding juniors." Hen said with a smile.

"Yes, they are all excellent." Vincent looked towards the center of the venue, "The beautiful relationship between the boy and the girl always makes an old man like me who is almost 30 years old envious."

Vincent only looks young, but actually he and Hen are warriors of the same generation.

The smile on Hen's lips faded slightly, and he whispered, "It's about time you got over that incident, right?"

Vincent smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Hen, I'm used to it. After all, Aisha... definitely wouldn't want me to be depressed like this forever."

He continued, "Speaking of which, the one who helped me out of the predicament was Alicia, a junior who always brings light to others. As a senior, all I can do is to wish her the best. Oh, by the way, when your daughter, Grayshu, was born, I didn't have time to send my gift, I will make it up to you later."
