Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

It needs to be clarified here that Chen Ming is not curious about the structure of the white tiger.

It's just that his eyesight, enhanced by magic, is very good, so he can see some details very clearly.

Epona was in a coma and naturally couldn't dress himself.

So Chen Ming could only squat down and help Epona up - it was unbelievable that someone with such a slender figure could have such amazing physical abilities!

Just as I was about to change her clothes, the girl woke up.

Thanks to the super recovery ability that comes with the hero's talent, Epona's injuries have healed and his energy has gradually returned.

So when she felt someone helping her up, her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if being brushed by an invisible wind. Her crimson eyes slowly opened, initially filled with a hazy sleepiness, as they blankly scanned the surrounding ruins before finally resting on Chen Ming.

“…Excuse me, who are you?”

Her voice was hoarse, like someone who had just woken up, and sounded like she had been asleep.

However, he has indeed regained his sanity.

"My name is Chen Ming, a hero who does it for fun." He raised the corners of his lips slightly and shook the clothes in his hands. "Do you want to put on your clothes first?"

"Hmm...Huh?"

Epona glanced down subconsciously, her snow-white skin instantly turning red.

She was shocked and embarrassed, and almost in a panic she grabbed the clothes. Her elbows were entangled in the fabric, and her movements were as clumsy as a fledgling learning to fly. It took her a while to wrap herself up, and her fingertips were still trembling slightly.

After seeing the girl put on her clothes and calm down a bit, Chen Ming continued to explain, "I was passing by here just now and saw that your eyes were red and you had lost your mind. You were... well, killing people without restraint, so I tried to stop you..."

"I'm losing control again...?"

Epona's body suddenly tensed up, and he looked around anxiously, only to find that only ruins remained...

So she held her head in her hands, knuckles turning white from the exertion: "Hehehe... The knights who fought alongside me... are all gone... It's me, I killed them! And Mirei..."

The voice seemed to have been sanded by despair, and the distorted face was marked with marks of wailing and repentance.

Mirei's name was like a poisoned dagger, piercing her heart with precision. The man with a spring-like smile who taught the naive village girl the meaning of sword and dignity; the man who used gentle words to dispel all her anxieties and whom she regarded as a true blood relative...

Now, she accidentally killed the person she admired as her sister, and destroyed this beautiful relationship with her own hands...

This thought was like a cold poisonous snake biting her soul. The huge sorrow and regret completely drowned her like a tide. Big tears fell hotly into the dust, leaving dark marks.

"Wait, you seem to have misunderstood something..."

Chen Ming's voice was like a sharp blade, severing the vortex of her sinking, and he interrupted, "I clearly said just now that I stopped you!"

Upon hearing this, Epona was shocked, tears hanging on her eyelashes, and her red eyes raised in disbelief, with a light of hope flashing in them.

She looked at Chen Ming cautiously and asked, "So, are all the Knights still alive?"

The girl's voice trembled, with a desperate and humble plea, as if saying - even if it's just a lie to me, it's okay.

What responded to her was Chen Ming's strong arms.

As the world spun around, Epona felt her body lighten. Chen Ming had already carried her horizontally, like a princess, and held her steadily.

Chen Ming stretched out his hands and, in front of the girl's surprised eyes, gave her a princess hug.

"Eh?"

Epona's brain froze in surprise and shyness. The burning heat spread from her ears to her neck, almost burning her sanity. She even almost forgot the lives of the knights.

Fortunately, Chen Ming spoke out in time to remind him: "Look down!"

The girl lowered her head as she was told, her heart pounding.

I saw the sky city under my feet turning from solid to virtual, shedding the heavy texture of steel and rock, and its outline became transparent, like a mirage melting under the scorching sun.

Instead, there was the distant and solid outline of the earth, and a human figure the size of an ant on the earth, looking up.

The sharp eyes gifted by the brave instantly penetrated the distant distance—she saw clearly! Those knights in familiar armor!

And at the front of the crowd, that beautiful long hair dancing in the wind, that anxious face looking up... is Sister Mirei!

Until this moment, the rope called "sin" that was tightly strangling the heart finally broke and dissipated with a "snap".

The heavy pressure was removed from the depths of his soul, and all the guilt and regret in his heart dissipated. Epona took a deep breath of fresh air, as if he was reborn.

She raised her head and her gaze fell back on Chen Ming's face with a lazy smile, her heart filled with deep gratitude!

Then, the girl's slender arms seemed to have a will of their own, and with a hint of shy warmth, they hugged back carefully.

[Ding, Epona's favorability increased by 60, currently at 60!]

Looking at the favorability information prompted by the system, Chen Ming was slightly stunned. She was indeed a simple girl from the second dimension. Her favorability increased faster than that of the girls in the main world!

But it's understandable - Epona's mood went from extreme regret for mistakenly thinking he had killed Sister Mirei to extreme relief at seeing that all the Knights were safe and sound, as if he had gone from hell to heaven.

This huge psychological fluctuation will naturally make the girl feel good about Chen Ming, who saved her.

The wind whistled in his ears, and the feeling of weightlessness suddenly gripped Epona.

She subconsciously hugged Chen Ming tightly, her eyes sweeping over the rapidly enlarging outline of the ground below.

"It looks like we're falling!"

The girl's voice was wrapped in the wind - although Epona thought that falling from a high altitude would not hurt herself, let alone Chen Ming who could stop her, she still kindly reminded her.

"It's fine."

Chen Ming smiled and comforted her, his voice ringing against the top of Epona's head, with an almost nonchalant certainty.

He was even too lazy to spread out the [Wings of Light] again, but his mind moved slightly, and the space seemed to be gently wrinkled by an invisible hand.

The next moment, the feeling of emptiness under my feet suddenly disappeared, replaced by the touch of solid earth.

Chen Ming used instant movement and brought Epona to Mirei.

What followed was a very clichéd reunion scene.

Epona almost stumbled into Mirei's open arms, and the long-accumulated fear, guilt and ecstasy of regaining what he had lost turned into hot tears that burst out.

"Mirei! I'm sorry... I'm sorry! I thought... I thought I..." She choked and spoke incoherently, like a child who finally returned home after being lost, holding on tightly to her support.

Mirei hugged her back just as tightly, her palms gently caressing the girl's trembling back again and again, her voice hoarse but gentle: "I'm glad you're back... Epona, I'm glad you're back safely..."

The two of them hugged each other, crying and laughing, and were excited for a long time, as if no one was around.

Chen Ming stood a few steps away, becoming a bystander of this touching reunion.

He folded his arms, his gaze fixed on the beautiful female knight. Her gentle and soothing gesture, the concern deep in his eyes that went beyond the call of duty...

A slight sense of strangeness suddenly emerged.

His curiosity aroused, and a translucent interface that only he could see silently unfolded in his field of vision.

System, identification!

[Name]: Mi Lei

【Age】：18

[Height]: 160cm

[Weight]: 50kg

【Overall appearance】: 81

【Power Bank】：0

Status: Reincarnated

[Favorability]: 0

Good, good, good. No wonder Chen Ming felt that there was something wrong with this female knight's behavior when he read the original novel. There were several unnatural things about it...

She had been guiding the hero Epona towards goodness. Even before she was accidentally killed, she thanked her for defeating the monster tide and saving many people. She even left a last wish to Epona - hoping that she would protect the kingdom as well as her own share.

Chapter 192: The Growth of the Little Maids

Those seemingly holy behaviors that actually carried subtle guidance, those last words that emphasized responsibility and protection at the critical moment of life and death...all found reasonable explanations at this moment.

Now it seems that this female knight named Mirei is also a reincarnation summoned by the goddess.

Based on Chen Ming's understanding of that goddess.

He will summon the top practitioners from all walks of life. It can be imagined that the reincarnated Mirei should be the world's top teacher, who wants to put the reins on the brave man's "blade of destruction" through education.

Mirei is a teacher through and through. Until the second before she was "ended" by the out-of-control hero, she was perfectly fulfilling her duty of "stopping the hero from destroying the world". She used the last words of her life to turn into chains of bondage and guidance.

This is a person with extremely pure beliefs. He deserves respect and should be very difficult to conquer!

After making this judgment, Chen Ming put aside the idea of ​​​​capturing Mi Lei. Chen Ming's requirements are very high. Not only must the girl meet the system's strict scoring and purity standards, but she must also be easy to capture! This way, he can save time on the capture and use it to improve his strength.

Of course, the main reason is that Chen Ming is now full and has established his own "harem garden" in all three worlds.

There is no need to waste too much time on a reincarnated teacher whose beliefs are as strong as steel, whose determination is as firm as a rock, and whose favorability is clearly marked as "0".

If he had met such a beautiful female teacher before awakening the pleasure system, he would definitely be willing to spend time with her... No, at that time, Chen Ming knew himself well and knew that he would never be able to catch up with her, so he would not waste time to make himself bored.

His thoughts turned back to the past, and he closed the information interface in front of him, as if he was closing a boring but respectable book.

Then, Chen Ming took out a satellite phone and a foldable solar power bank from the system space and walked up to Epona, whose emotions had calmed down a little.

"Here, here you go."

He stuffed the satellite phone and foldable solar power bank into Epona's hands.

The girl curiously looked at this "magic prop" she had never seen before, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the smooth surface.

Chen Mingyan demonstrated concisely how to turn on the phone, dial a number, and charge it. Epona didn't understand what he was saying, his eyes full of curiosity about the unknown, but he still nodded vigorously to indicate that he remembered it.

"If you need anything, use it to find me."

Chen Ming gave a final instruction and tapped the satellite phone lightly with his fingertips.

Before Epona could say anything else, his figure blurred and faded like ink dropped into water, disappearing silently from the spot.

Only Epona was left holding the still warm metal cube, and Mirei's thoughtful gaze beside him.

Obviously, as a reincarnated person, Mirei also guessed Chen Ming's identity - a fellow villager! And he was probably also a reincarnated person summoned by the goddess to stop the hero from destroying the world, a comrade!

[Ding, Mirei's favorability increased by 30, and the current favorability is 30!]

High in the sky, Chen Ming's figure appeared in the clouds, overlooking the earth below that looked like a miniature sand table.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a very faint, controlling arc.

The seeds have been planted, and the satellite phone is the invisible thread.

Through the global space-based communication monitoring network, Epona can be contacted anytime and anywhere.

You can do it step by step.

As for Mi Lei's improved favorability, although it surprised Chen Ming a bit, he still maintained his original decision and did not actively pursue her—unless Mi Lei pursued her herself and gave her away for free, how could that be possible? Haha...

After finishing the actual combat trial and greatly improving the favorability of the female hero Epona, the purpose of this trip has basically been achieved, so Chen Ming used instant teleportation.

The ripples in space spread silently, and Chen Ming's figure appeared on the soft carpet in the master bedroom of the villa halfway up the mountain.

The cold wind from high altitude was instantly replaced by the warm fragrance in the room.

Almost at the same second that he appeared, several figures gathered around him with an excited aura.

"Welcome back triumphantly, Ming!"

Ellysi's voice was filled with her usual sweetness. She was the first to hold his arm, her blue eyes filled with relief. She even stood on tiptoe and sniffed playfully, "Hmm... no strange smell. How does it feel to be held by the female hero? Will it be as hard as steel?"

"Master has returned just in time, the tea is still warm~"

Alpha silently handed over a cup of tea at just the right temperature, with silent concern in the depths of his emerald green pupils.

The twin sisters, Mejia and Memi, gently massaged his shoulders, one on each side.

Livelier cheers followed.

Talduo rushed over like a little cannonball and hugged his legs, her golden twintails shaking excitedly: "Brother, brother! Talduo practiced magic well today!"

Maho and Tia also squeezed over, their eyes sparkling as they cheered.

There was genuine warmth in Chen Ming's eyes. He rubbed the heads of the little lolis one by one, and patted the girls' shoulders soothingly.

The warm atmosphere of home completely smoothed out the last bit of tension left from the battle.

After comforting the girls and lolis, Chen Ming walked towards the giant holographic projection screen that occupied the entire wall and checked the construction progress of the [Tiangong] space city.
