"Why would they use star cores to create a cold wave crisis?" Chi Tong was still a little confused after reading it.
Jeppard had said before that the builders had built Beloberg long before the cold wave came, thus preserving the civilization on this planet.
At first she wondered why the builders had built Beloberg in advance, as if they were prophets who had anticipated the coming of the cold wave.
But now they know... This cold wave was created by the city builders themselves, how could they not know?!
"Isn't releasing the cold wave a self-destructive act? Why…"
"Akagiri, do you remember that before the cold wave, this planet was invaded by the antimatter army? If they had not activated the star core to release the cold wave at that time, I'm afraid civilization would have been destroyed long ago." Najeta sighed.
"Releasing the cold wave might buy civilization some time to save itself, even if it's just a last gasp."
"...drinking poison to quench thirst."
Chapter 53 Come, Xier, let me teach you how to curse
"...The Antimatter Army and the Cold Wave, this crisis is probably even more difficult than the Demon God War."
In the Qun Yu Pavilion, Ningguang couldn't help but feel fortunate. In her opinion, this crisis was far more troublesome than the Vortex Demon God breaking free from the seal.
No matter how powerful the demon god is, he will be subdued after being attacked by the Qun Yu Pavilion... What's more, they had the help of the immortals at that time. Although it was difficult, they were not helpless.
During the Demon War, it was said that Liyue was plagued by plagues and demons were rampant, which was probably comparable to Beloberg today.
But Liyue has immortals and emperors, while Beloberg has been able to fight against the wind, snow and monsters with his flesh and blood for hundreds of years...
"Bronya, are you okay?" Sanyueqi asked worriedly, supporting the staggering Bronya.
"…I'm fine, I just…feel a little dizzy." Bronya still refused to accept the reality, choking and saying, "Mother, why…no, maybe she doesn't know, maybe she…"
"Don't lie to yourself... Bronya." Seele interrupted her, her voice unusually gentle. "It's time for you to make up your mind."
"The conflict in the lower district has finally come to an end, and the truth behind the cold wave has been revealed. Everyone is willing to lend a hand to Xing and the others."
"But the situation remains tense: there are still many issues that need to be resolved. Why did Kokolia change its stance? The exact location and coordinates of the core are also unclear."
"Back at the hotel, Xing suddenly remembered that he had dreamed of Cocolia many times, so he told Danheng and Sanyueqi the whispers he heard in his dreams."
"Dan Heng and San Yue Qi speculated that this might be due to the star core in her body."
"Even on the other side, Seele and Bronya returned to the orphanage in Rivet Town. They stood side by side at the railing, letting the evening breeze ruffle their hair."
"Look over there, see? That used to be the worst neighborhood in all of Rivettown. That's where I grew up."
Xier pointed to an empty street at the foot of the mountain and said, "I used to hang out with my older brothers and sisters, always thinking about getting a good fight, until Chief Oleg took me out and sent me to an orphanage."
"Then I learned to read and write from Natasha. At the age of ten, I started accompanying Oleg on inspections of various mining areas, sometimes confronting local thugs..."
Listening to Seele's talk about the past, Bronya felt a surge of envy: "That's wonderful."
"That's great?" Xier raised her eyebrows. "Are you making fun of me?"
Bronya realized her gaffe and quickly waved her hand. "I'm sorry, life in the lower boroughs is tough, and I shouldn't have made such a light statement. What I meant to say is, Seele... I'm a little envious of you."
Seele stood on the railing, one step higher than Bronya. She leaned over slightly, taking in Bronya's shy, envious, and nervous expression. She smiled softly, as if teasing her: "What's there to envy?"
“For as long as I can remember, my life has been a cycle of study, etiquette, and training. Every day, someone reminds me: ‘Remember your identity, Bronya,’ ‘This goes against the teachings of the Castle Builders, Bronya,’ ‘A lady should not speak such vulgar words, Bronya,’…”
"Bronya's eyes were dark. When she talked about the past and recalled the experiences of these years, she felt like there was a lump of iron in her throat that she couldn't move away."
"Like a canary in a cage, comfortable and glamorous, but without freedom..."
"I really can't imagine it. But I'm more concerned about what vulgar words you said." Xier looked at her curiously.
"Uh..." Bronya's face suddenly turned a faint blush, as if she was shy. Her eyes moved and shifted... Finally, she closed them with a firm resolve. When she opened them again, her expression was resolute."
"I will now, on behalf of the City Builder, thrust a spear through your nostrils!"
"Pfft...what kind of vulgar language is that?"
At Valkyrie Academy, Bronya nearly choked on her drink. The vulgarity of the words… Regardless of whether they were vulgar or not, they actually made her laugh.
"You need to work on your tongue... You can't even curse at people so softly. How will you ever win over the crowd when you become the Great Guardian?"
As she spoke, she looked at Xier beside her and smiled slightly, "Xier, do you know how to curse?"
"...Me?" Xier suddenly looked embarrassed and slowly lowered her head: "Swearing at people..."
That's right, Seele was usually as well-behaved as a cake around him, so she never had the chance to practice alone. Although she was very skilled at killing Honkai beasts with a sickle, she was quite inexperienced in battling with others in the air.
To put it simply, when you curse someone, you just need to draw a circle with your mother as the center and your relatives and organs as the radius, and then expand it.
As she said this, she wanted to set an example for Xier.
"Xi'er, if someone you hate offends you in the future and it's inconvenient for you to take action, you have to say this..."
Bronya showed a confident look in her eyes: "I'm here! You guys are a bunch of ***! I'm as *** as your ***! Remember this! I will scold you in Valkyrie Academy!"
"Ahhhh Sister Bronya, stop talking!" Seele quickly tried to cover Bronya's mouth.
On the other side, on the continent of Teyvat, Paimon couldn't help but burst out laughing after seeing Bronya's vulgar words.
"Oh, Bronya, you still need to hone your swearing skills~"
Seeing Paimon with his hands on his hips, looking so confident, Mavica suddenly became interested. She looked at Paimon with a smile and said, "Oh? I didn't realize that little Paimon is also a master of swearing?"
"Uh... not really. I just give people ugly nicknames when I meet someone who makes me really angry."
Paimon put a sweet honeyberry into her mouth, a satisfied smile on her face. As she ate, she recalled the time she had argued with a certain Inazuma's Sleeping Dragon beneath the abyss.
"Well, I remember now, like... the cattle herder!"
"Hahahahahaha! Little white flying ant! Can you even call someone an ugly nickname?"
Kuhule Acho laughed heartily and flew to Paimon's side. "If you were not my servant's bad friend, the great Holy Dragon Kuhule Acho would not want to teach a little flying ant like you how to curse."
"Oh, are you qualified to teach others with your level?"
Kinichi raised his head expressionlessly and warned, "Paimon, don't let Aqiao distract your attention. He might just want to secretly eat the green honeyberries on your plate while you're distracted."
"Kinichi...! How dare you ruin my life! You stinky-faced idiot, you stingy green-spotted lizard! You niggling reptile! You mean-spirited bastard! If I hadn't eaten so quickly, who would have cared about those rotten, sour fruits on your plate!"
"Oh, then I'll eat it myself." After saying that, Kinich threw the last two green honeyberries on his plate into his mouth in front of Aqiao.
The next second, Aqiao, who was still cursing, turned visibly red.
"Ahhh Kinich! You bastard! Greedy wild boar! Dirty belly snake! Fall headfirst into the eternal cesspool!"
Chapter 54 This is Xi
"Hahaha, that's it?" Xier chuckled. "It's like scratching an itch through a boot. It's not very effective. It seems that before you go back, I have to teach you some slang."
Bronya waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no."
"Seele leaned her hands against the railing, looked up at the orphanage, then at the girl beside her. Bronya was like a gentle stream, unconsciously stirring her heart, and she was willing to follow its flow... This was the first time Seele had felt this way in over a decade."
"I've heard from several veteran Iron Guardsmen that before the quarantine order was issued, there wasn't much difference between the upper and lower classes. Everyone ate the same food, talked about the same things, and celebrated the same holidays."
“For my generation, although our upbringings may be somewhat different…but when it comes to life’s joys and sorrows, and the bonds between people, these precious emotions are undoubtedly the same.”
"If only there could be a bridge connecting the upper and lower levels... we could return to the age of unity, standing shoulder to shoulder against the cold waves and the rifts."
"As Bronya spoke, she gazed down the mountain at Rivet Town. Following her gaze, Seele seemed to see the future she was looking forward to."
"Looking at the expression on Bronya's face, Seele turned her head slightly and smiled, "I'm not like you, I can't draw so many conclusions, but..."
She extended her hand to Bronya, the bright moonlight falling upon her palm, as if waiting for her to grasp the light together. "If this is the future you wish to see, I am willing to build this bridge with you."
““Xi’er…”
Before Seele could react, Bronya had already grasped her hand tightly. The girl's smile was as beautiful as a flower, her eyes were as bright as autumn water, and in those eyes... only she was reflected.
"Thank you, Xi'er. Your trust means a lot to me."
"As if she had been hit directly, Xi'er stumbled back a few steps, her cheeks instantly stained with a layer of tempting red."
"So sweet, so sweet..." Marin couldn't help but envy the blushing girl in the light screen.
Why can others hold hands, but she has to sleep with a pumpkin in her arms in the middle of the night?
…She also wants a sweet love!
"How about I try to imitate Seele? Maybe Tatsumi will suddenly get the idea." A sudden inspiration struck Mine. "Seele and Bronya just successfully held hands in the light curtain. That's a textbook demonstration, right?"
Marin is a person of action who does what she says.
"Tatsumi."
Marin walked up behind the young man, looking down at him. When he raised his head at the sound of her voice, she leaned over and smiled at him, a smile that was both gentle and warm. Imitating Xier's expression on the screen, Marin also extended a hand to him, as if she was the only place that could accept him and provide warmth in this dark and cold night.
"Main?" Tatsumi subconsciously grabbed her hand and pulled her to his side. Before Main could react, she sat back down next to him.
"I thought you were angry, Myne." Tatsumi said with a smile, "Look at Seele and Bronya, they are both... so nice."
"Ah, ah... it's really, really good." Maine's face suddenly turned red, not expecting the progress to be so smooth. At this moment, it seemed as if all the subtle movements of Tatsumi were endlessly magnified. His warm palms, the gentle touch of his fingertips, the gentle brushing of the hair, no matter how light, made Maine's heart beat faster.
It was very hot... so hot that a pink aura filled Myne's vision, and she felt like a string in her head was about to melt...
"T-that... T... Tatsumi."
"What's wrong? Maine, you're acting weird tonight. Your face is so red... do you have a fever?" Tatsumi said as he was about to put his hand on her forehead, but Maine blocked his way with her hand.
"I-I'm not sick...Tatsumi."
Myne felt her head was in a mess. She tried hard to recall Xier's hand-holding declaration and stammered, "If... this is the future you want to see, I, I am willing to be with you——"
"Maine, I understand your feelings." Tatsumi suddenly interrupted her, "You want us to be like Bronya and Seele, right?"
Tatsumi, you finally got it!
Mayin couldn't help but scream in her heart and nodded suddenly.
"I understand what you mean. I'm willing to be your comrade, sharing life and death with you, Mine." Tatsumi shook her hand calmly. "That peaceful future... we will definitely see it together!"
emmmm……hmm? ?
Comrade?
Marin suddenly discovered the blind spot.
Tatsumi, you finally got it...bullshit!
"You don't understand at all!"
Mine slashed Tatsumi's forehead with a knife and ran away angrily. The boy was left scratching his head in confusion, saying inexplicably, "You're so angry... Did I say something wrong?"
"Whether it's Mother's sudden change of heart or the long-buried truth about Beloberg, there are many doubts."
"Bronya finally decided to go to the upper district and ask her mother for an explanation."
Xier was visibly panicking: "Wait, you're not really going? Are you going alone? No, this idea is too..."
"I've thought it through, Seele." Bronya's eyes were firm. "Whether as a daughter or a Silvermane Guardsman, I must fulfill my duty to advise him in person. Even if..."
"After that, Bronya handed Seele a letter, asking her to pass it on to Xing and the others. If she couldn't meet up with them... they would know what to do."
"Okay, I understand." Xier nodded solemnly. "You know what you want to do. No matter how much I object, it will be in vain. Just remember one thing - if you encounter any danger, I will risk my life to save you."
"Then I'll wait for you."
"Bronya smiled faintly, as if the surface of a lake under a spring sun were rippling with tiny ripples, and willow branches were slightly drooping, gently stirring something."
"It suddenly occurred to Xier that perhaps one day, the thick snow of Beloberg would be melted by the spring sun and return to the spring lake. And she, too, would return to that spring water, becoming indistinguishable from each other, a close fusion."
Chapter 55 How Dare You Assume Jeppard's Gender?
"This pure love god of war is satisfied."
"Let me guess, you must be lying on the bed, almost twisted into a maggot, right?"
"Upstairs, can you please remove the security camera in my room?"
"Family members, who understands, this is a confession!"
In the Valkyrie Academy, Kiana was bored and browsing the forum, and found that the forum was almost completely flooded with messages from Bronya and Seele.
The screen is full of discussions like "dizzy" and "crazy".
"Uncle Yang, Miss Himeko, Bronya, Seele... they all appeared in the light curtain." Kiana lay on Mei's desk, playing with the ends of the girl's hair hanging in front of the table. "Mei, when did you appear in the light curtain?"
"I'm also curious about when Kiana will appear." Mei smiled gently.
