"They believed it?"

"I believe it to a large extent."

Karen nodded.

Those martial arts practitioners did not know the full story; they only knew that on that day, the sky suddenly collapsed and the earth cracked, Honkai Beasts surged out like a tide, then a pillar of fire shot into the sky, a golden barrier enveloped the heavens and the earth, and finally everything returned to calm.

They need an explanation.

The explanation given by Master Chi Yuan is the most authoritative.

"After all that, it still comes down to relying on reputation to maintain order," Karen muttered, then turned her head to ask, "What are the Immortal's plans for the future?"

"I'm going to the west."

Fu Hua's voice was flat, as if she had already thought it through, "Find two people, Su and Kevin, both fusion warriors from the previous civilization. I have something to tell them."

"The first Herald of this era, the Binding, is dead."

She paused, then added, "Although he only lived for... three minutes."

Karen's lips twitched, unsure whether to smile or not: "I also want to reclaim my destiny."

“Otto is dead, and Schicksal needs someone to go back and explain the situation. After all, I am a member of Kaslana, and I can’t just leave it like this. I also need to send the Divine Key back.”

Fu Hua glanced at her but didn't say anything more.

The two walked in silence for a while.

Then Karen suddenly stopped and blinked: "What was that sound?"

Fu Hua also stopped.

A suspicious sound drifted from the courtyard.

It looked like something was shaking.

crunch - crunch -

It's very regular.

Karen tilted her head: "Is someone swinging on a swing?"

"...Probably." Fu Hua's tone was somewhat uncertain.

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously stepped towards Zhang Yang's small courtyard.

The courtyard gate was half-closed.

There are voices inside.

"You, you, you get up first..."

"What's the rush? Let's hug a little longer."

"Zhang Yang! What time is it! Grandmaster and the others are coming quickly!"

"Come on over then, this is a crucial moment for me..."

"Get up—!"

There was a loud thud, as if someone had fallen off something.

Fu Hua and Kallen exchanged a glance.

Karen blinked and reached out to push open the courtyard gate.

The newly woven bamboo swing next to it was still swaying gently, with a few water stains hanging on the seat, reflecting a damp sheen in the sunlight.

Zhang Yang stood next to the swing, his clothes mostly open, his belt tied crookedly, and his hair somewhat messy.

Li Sushang stood three steps away from him, her cheeks as red as a sunset, her clothes barely tidy... only her neck seemed excessively red.

"Great-Great Master!" Li Sushang's voice rose eight octaves, "Why have you all come!"

Fu Hua didn't speak, her eyes swept over the two of them, paused on the swing, and finally landed on Zhang Yang's open collar.

"Did we arrive at the wrong time?"

"It's time! It's the perfect time!" Zhang Yang said calmly as he pulled his clothes together. "We were just practicing... that two-person combined attack technique, right, Su Chang?"

"Yes, yes, yes! A combined attack technique!" Li Sushang nodded vigorously.

Karen tilted her head, her blue eyes as clear as an icy lake, her gaze falling on the still-wet water stains on the swing.

Why do you need to sit on a swing to practice martial arts?

"..."

"And why is there water on the swing?"

"..."

Why are your faces so red?

"........."

The courtyard was quiet for a moment.

Zhang Yang looked up at the sky, while Li Sushang looked down and counted ants.

Fu Hua sighed and rubbed her temples: "You don't need to worry about it, it's just some custom of Shenzhou."

Karen seemed to understand somewhat, but also seemed not quite: "...The customs of China are truly diverse."

Zhang Yang finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"No, Miss Karen, this is not a custom..."

"That is?"

"Yes……"

Zhang Yang opened his mouth, then closed it again, and turned to look at Li Sushang.

Li Sushang had buried her face in her palms, her ears so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

Forget it.

You have to fill the hole you dug yourself.

“That’s proof of love,” Zhang Yang said seriously. “It’s normal that you don’t know since you’ve never been in a relationship.”

Karen blinked: "I do know about the dating customs in the West."

Zhang Yang said seriously, "This is something that can only be done in a romantic relationship between a man and a woman."

"Huh? But isn't love just about men and women?"

Zhang Yang: "..."

Wait a minute? Why do I feel like the term "romantic romance" is so rare in the Honkai universe?

Kallen turned to Fu Hua: "But here in Shenzhou, is splashing water on a swing the proof of love?"

Fu Hua: "..."

She has lived for 50,000 years.

They fought the final battle, carried out the Fire Seed Project, and protected China for five thousand years.

But she never imagined that she would have to explain to others why there was water on the swing in her lifetime.

“…Never mind.” Fu Hua turned around. “I’ll go check if any grass has grown on the graves on the back hill.”

"Grandmaster!" Li Sushang raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "Let me explain!"

"I won't listen."

"Zhang Yang, say something!"

Zhang Yang shrugged: "Like I said, it's proof of love."

"What kind of ridiculous explanation is that?!"

Karen stood at the doorway, watching the chaotic scene in the yard, and her lips twitched slightly.

The sun is shining brightly.

The wind is just right.

The feeling of being alive... seems pretty good.

Chapter 86 Seeing the red dot makes me want to clear it.

The chaos ended with Cheng Ling Shuang's arrival. Several people sat around in the courtyard, the shadows of the jujube tree swaying on the ground.

Zhang Yang leaned against the swing set, his legs crossed, his posture as lazy as a cat sunbathing.

"So, you all have plans?"

“Hmm.” Fu Hua nodded. “I’m going to the west to find Su and Kevin. The Binding Core is on my mind. The first Herrscher of this era died too quickly. There must be more to come.”

She paused, then said, "Karen returns to fate."

“The Key of God needs to be returned, and someone needs to clean up the mess left by Destiny.” Kallen sat on the stone bench, holding a teacup in both hands. “Since the power to control it is on me, I have to take some responsibility.”

Cheng Ling Shuang stood by the courtyard wall, leaning against the crooked jujube tree, her hands tucked into her sleeves, her face expressionless: "I'll stay."

"Tianqiong Peak needs people. The Taixu Sword Sect has lost its sect leader and deputy sect leader, and less than one in ten disciples remain. It is leaderless."

"More than half of the martial arts world has died, and someone has to step up to clean up the mess. I also plan to merge the disciples of the Peerless Sect into it, but the name Taixu Sword Sect..."

She looked at Fu Hua.

Fu Hua simply said, "It's just a name, it's fine to continue using it."

“I’ll stay with you,” Zhang Yang said casually. “Anyway, I don’t have anything urgent to do.”

Fu Hua suddenly said, "Su Chang, come with me."

Li Sushang looked up: "Huh?"

“Consider it a trial.” Fu Hua’s tone left no room for negotiation. “Your cultivation is not bad, but you lack experience. Coming out with me will be better than you practicing in seclusion on the mountain.”

"But……"

"Moreover," Fu Hua said calmly, her gaze sweeping over Zhang Yang almost imperceptibly, "so that you won't cause any deaths here."

Li Sushang's face flushed red.

"Grandmaster! I... I wouldn't..."

How many times a day?

"..."

Su Chang blushed even more, secretly glanced at Zhang Yang, and spat inwardly.

Livestock!

abnormal!

How could anyone say something as outrageous as "burning it with fire to prevent pregnancy"?

It burns inexplicably every time, even though the temperature hasn't increased. But every time it makes my heart tremble, and I feel like I'm rising incense, light as a feather, as if I'm about to ascend to heaven.

Or perhaps we should go to the trial with Grandmaster...

I feel like I'm going to die from getting burned seven or eight times a day.

Karen placed the teacup on the table and nodded slightly to Zhang Yang: "Thank you for your care these past few days."

Zhang Yang waved his hand: "No need to be so polite, we're all family."

Karen paused for a moment: "A family?"

"It was bound to happen sooner or later." Zhang Yang said without changing his expression.

Karen: "..."

She turned to look at Fu Hua, but Fu Hua looked away.

understood.

I won't ask anymore.

Zhang Yang took something out of his pocket and casually tossed it over.
