Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

Yaezakura bounced high, her skin had been torn by lightning in the virtual environment, and her whole body was constantly struck by lightning. But she swung the knife at Long's neck as if nothing had happened.

A thin line of light passed through Benares' neck, and at the same time the witch's body was destroyed in the thunder.

Yaesakura regained her sight and stood at the edge of the platform in a daze. The battle in the simulated battlefield had ended with the death of the people. She didn't know whether she had really killed the Honkai beast.

Jizi, wearing a white research suit, came over with a data monitoring instrument. She said, "The damage to Benares was over 60%, and the Honkai beast was not killed. Ying, you already have the potential to become an S-rank. Even a single S-rank Valkyrie may not be able to kill Benares."

The question in her heart was answered, Yae Sakura lowered her eyes, and her mood changed a lot. This was not what she expected. After two months of continuous training, she was killed instantly thirty times in the battle with Benares, caused less than 10% damage fifteen times, and had a total of more than 100 challenges.

She wanted to have the ability to kill this Judgment-level creature independently, so that her own fighting power might be able to protect the one she loved from the powerful Destiny.

"But the damage that an S-rank can cause must be more than mine, right?"

Himeko understood that Yaesakura was still worried about her weak abilities. To be honest, she had done very well. She took care of everyone in life as an older sister, and even herself sometimes needed her care. She was always the most diligent in doing things and would not show bad emotions to others, only occasionally showing them in front of her.

No one can be perfect, nor can they achieve success overnight. The reason why Yaezakura is so anxious is that she has not found any news about Shen Yunie until now.

Maybe her brother has his own ideas, but it will be hard for Yae Sakura who is waiting for him. Jizi feels heartbroken about this, and all she can do is to provide company and comfort.

Jizi hugged her in her arms, stroked her long cherry-pink hair and comforted her: "This is only the first time. We can try countless times. You will eventually reach that level. And an S-class Valkyrie can't reach that strength just by physical strength. When the armor is developed, you will be even stronger."

Yaezakura smiled bitterly, deciding not to express her emotions. She raised her head and asked, "Let's not talk about that. How is your research and development going, Jizi?"

After the operation, Jizi's two stigmata were already in a semi-sealed state. Only after they were lifted could she use the Honkai energy again, and her broken body would no longer be destroyed. Jizi, who no longer needed to fight, did not rest. She began to inherit her father's work and devoted herself to the research and development of armor.

The close-fitting fusion suit during battle highlights her heroic figure. Now that she is engaged in research, the white research suit makes her look much softer.

With the precedents of the third-generation Valkyrie Armor and the fourth-generation Godkiller Armor, Jizi hopes to develop more Godkiller Armor to equip everyone.

"The progress is slow, but I believe it will succeed sooner or later." When talking about this, Ji Zi also smiled bitterly. She hugged the delicate body in her arms tightly. "Next, I still have to study. Today's simulated battle ends here. Ying, you have done very well. Let's continue tomorrow."

"Yes." Yaezakura nodded obediently.

Watching Ji Zi leave, the witch's expression became lost again, and she sighed softly. She always felt that her strength was not enough. If she was strong enough to participate in the battle between the Herrschers, perhaps she would be taken away by Shen Yunie. Missing her was the most painful, and she was not strong enough.

Yaesakura was walking in the corridor of the base in a daze, when the lights on the wall suddenly flashed red and she came back to her senses.

"Attention, Emperor-level Honkai energy has been detected nearby, combat personnel please assemble!"

Yae Sakura tightly grasped the hilt of Sakura Fubuki's sword and immediately walked towards the nearby exit. When she arrived at the battlefield, someone was already fighting the emperor. Mei and Bronya were also making rapid progress. After experiencing the loss, the two girls seemed to have grown up overnight, and their fighting power became stronger and stronger. Now they have surpassed ordinary A-level Valkyries.

A large number of mechas were destroyed by the bombardment of the Emperor. The Emperor-class tidal sea beast looked like a giant crab from a distance.

Yaezakura arrived, and the two girls' nervous expressions relaxed a little.

The pink cherry blossom petals fluttered in the air, as if it was a dream scene. Yaezakura walked towards the emperor, feeling melancholy and lost in her heart. She really missed them very much, and had looked forward to the scene of their reunion countless times in her heart. What should she do then?

Who came up with the idea of ​​disappearing now? It shouldn't be Leah, she couldn't bear to see herself alone. But Yaezakura couldn't be angry with Shen Yunie, as long as they could meet again.

The sword swung out as if it stopped time and split it in half. The emperor-level Honkai beast began to shatter silently. Amidst the dripping purple blood, Yaezakura had an illusion in her eyes. She could see Leah and Shen Yunie standing in the distance and looking at her. Wait for me, I will find you.

101. Life for Two

Su Mian sat uneasily in the milk tea shop. The whole shop was empty. Even the employees at the counter looked anxious, and their eyes occasionally wandered to the window.

On the table was her favorite milk tea, but she had no appetite at the moment, after all, across the street was the place where a murder had taken place. She was just an ordinary senior who was about to graduate, and she had never thought that one day she would be involved in the field of homicide detective.

The biggest reason was the mysterious young man in front of him. Shen Yunie sat opposite him, his eyes calmly scanning the police and the house where the murder happened. He looked attentively, and sometimes lowered his eyes to think about something.

The two of them have been together in this way for several times. When there is a case that cannot be solved on the Internet, Shen Yunie will call Su Mian to check it out and come to a conclusion very quickly.

Su Mian was no longer surprised at how quickly he solved the mysteries. What made her uneasy was that she had to go to the scene of the incident alone to take a look.

"There is a room in the apartment next door that is right in front of the accident site. No one lives there for the time being. You can go there to see the situation in the room clearly." Shen Yunie turned to look at her and said what to do next, "Please."

"Ah..." Su Mian opened her mouth and sighed reluctantly in her heart. She was just an ordinary girl. She would still be scared and have nightmares when she saw those things.

But this reluctance did not affect her doing what Shen Yunie said, after all, the money for private detectives was still quite high. She wondered why Shen Yunie didn't go to see it in person, so that he wouldn't have to pay her, and the answer she got in the end was that the other party was unwilling to show up.

Su Mian lowered her head, still having no appetite for milk tea, "Okay, I get it."

Following Shen Yunie's instructions, she walked into the apartment next door, pretending to be a tenant, and walked into the room under the guidance of the landlord. During the introduction, she could walk to the nearby window to check the situation in the room opposite. Not long after the incident, several police officers were handling the scene.

This was also the place Su Mian disliked the most. She would see dead people or even worse situations. She endured the dizziness and had experienced it many times before. She barely adapted to it quickly. She memorized the situation inside and tilted her head to look around.

The incident happened at such a close distance. Apart from those who were afraid to move, the rest were brave enough to watch the show, so many people were also observing the next room. After writing down all of this, Su Mian's mission was completed.

"Beauty, how about it? I'll give you half the price for this room. It's very suitable for college students like you. It's a couple's room, so you can even bring your boyfriend to live with you."

"Well, thank you, but I don't need it." Su Mian smiled awkwardly at the landlord, and after making a few excuses, he quickly left.

On the way to the milk tea shop, she was thinking not only about all the news about the case, but also about what the landlord said. She could bring her boyfriend to live with her, but she didn't have a boyfriend. Could it be that Shen Yunie didn't want to deal with these embarrassing situations and asked her to do this?

The two of them had spent a whole day on the journey and collecting personal information. At this time, the sun was setting, and the whole street was illuminated in orange. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the milk tea shop were blurred. Su Mian could only see a pair of eyes staring blankly at the opposite side under the dark and thick hair. It seemed that there were many things hidden in his eyes, but they were all suppressed by the vicissitudes of life.

Those were a pair of beautiful eyes that transcended gender.

Shen Yunie's current state is long hair and a bit unkempt. His long hair is tied into a ponytail casually, but there are still two strands of hair hanging down on both temples. Shen Yunie now puts all his thoughts on training, starting from the most basic strengthening of physical fitness to the human limit.

Su Mian's heart was beating fast, but she couldn't understand the vicissitudes of life in the boy's eyes, which seemed to have been through so many things. Controlling her mood, she walked back into the milk tea shop.

"How about it, can you tell me what you saw?" Shen Yunie came out of her trance and looked at her gently, "I always let you watch those scenes that girls shouldn't see, which is also a trouble for you."

Su Mian shook his head and began to tell Shen Yunie what he saw in the room.

With all the information gathered together, Shen Yunie was able to speculate whether it was related to the collapse, but that person's death was not terrible. After ruling out the possibility that it was caused by the collapse, relying on Su Mian's words and the people around him, he quickly locked on the answer.

"Let's go. I already have a rough idea of ​​who it is. We can contact the police when we get back." Shen Yunie stood up with a smile.

The absent-minded clerk now has her eyes fixed on him. This face is really handsome. If these things had not happened, she would probably ask this young man for his contact information.

"Okay, okay." Su Mian had experienced this several times, but she was still a little confused. If she were asked to guess, she would have no idea who did it, but Shen Yunie could guess it almost accurately.

She followed the boy out of the milk tea shop. Shen Yunie had already sent her all the clues and conclusions via mobile phone.

As long as you provide useful clues, you can get a good reward. This is how Shen Yunie makes money.

Su Mian followed him and couldn't help asking out of curiosity: "How did you guess that?"

"I've experienced a lot of things, and if I take the perspective of an outsider, I can guess more calmly and it's easy to come up with the answer." Shen Yunie gave her a vague reply.

This is what he always uses to prevaricate, so Su Mian slowly felt lost after hearing it. She was looking at it from the perspective of an outsider, so why couldn't she guess that Shen Yunie was a person that could not be approached.

"Ah, I have to teach students tomorrow, I have to prepare lessons." Su Mian said what he would do tomorrow, "Shen Yunie, what about you?"

"I'm going to pick Hua up from school." Shen Yunie walked in front of her.

This was his recent lifestyle, occasionally earning money as a private investigator, and spending most of his time exercising this body. With a will that could endure pain, the physical pain was already bearable for him.

"I will graduate in a few months, and will be assigned to a high school as a trainee teacher. How about I apply to Fu Hua's school?"

Shen Yunie did not answer. He had already walked a long way. He turned and walked into the alley and took a shortcut to the high school where Hua was. It was indeed difficult to let her go to school. With Hua's personality, what she hated most was being restricted in her freedom. She might cause trouble in school.

Fortunately, with the help of Su Mian's parents and Hua's better grades since she entered school, the school turned a blind eye to her.

At dusk, students in uniform poured out of the gate of Yucheng High School. Standing at the school gate were their parents who came to greet them. Shen Yunie also stood in the crowd, but he seemed out of tune with the people around him. Apart from his young age, he remained silent the whole time, as if there was an invisible barrier separating him from the people around him.

The old men and women around him would occasionally talk to him, but Shen Yunie found it difficult to show enthusiasm in response. Over time, few people would talk to him.

He didn't care, his eyes quickly locked on the gray-haired girl with her head down in the crowd of students. The school uniform that fitted her body made her look thin, and her red eyes were very conspicuous among the people of Shenzhou. Hua raised his eyes and saw Shen Yunie in an instant, and walked to his side absent-mindedly.

Only when she returned to Shen Yunie would her mood improve. She couldn't help but complain a few words, "I'm really bored, Shen Yunie, I also want to do things like you."

"Okay, when you have a weekend off." Shen Yunie did not refuse, holding her hand and walking around the crowd, "You still have to go to class during the week."

Hua squeezed his hand and retorted unhappily, "But I understand all that. It's like torture every time I sit there. My grades are very good."

The two walked into the path. Shen Yunie stopped and looked at her seriously. "Hua, I asked you to attend class not just to learn knowledge. I want you to learn to control your emotions and not do things as you please. These are what you must master."

Hua opened his mouth, unable to think of any rebuttal words, his cherry pink lips trembled with a sigh, "Isn't it better to listen to you? Will you let me do something wrong?"

"No, but you can't depend on me forever." Shen Yunie put away his serious expression, raised his hand to rub her head, and continued to walk forward while holding the girl's shoulders. "Maybe you can help me in the future, that would be the best. You can control your emotions and not do things as you please. The next step is to learn not to depend on me. After all, I am also a human being, and what I do is always wrong."

Hua stopped talking, her small body half collapsed on him. She felt unhappy from the bottom of her heart when she heard these words. She couldn't understand why she would have to leave Shen Yunie. Although she was angry at first and wanted to seek revenge on Otto alone, now as time went by, she had begun to rely on Shen Yunie.

Subconsciously, I also told myself not to leave him.

Shen Yunie smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

"Tofu, just light is fine."

The two still lived in that old neighborhood. Shen Yunie fulfilled his promise and the money he earned was enough to support them.

As night fell, Shen Yunie, who had finished dinner, began to go out of the house alone to exercise. The method he used was what Fu Hua had taught him. The most basic exercise, after sweating profusely, the body would always feel sore and painful, but Shen Yunie just accepted it all calmly and continued his exercise.

After enduring this ascetic training for several months, his physique had been strengthened to surpass that of an adult man.

Shenzhou is a place that has not been seriously eroded by the collapse. Shen Yunie cannot get involved in combat, so he can only temper his body to the extreme, but this is not enough. He needs to get in touch with the collapse energy and transform it into the power in his body again.

But he is not strong enough to be exposed to the Honkai virus now. Now that the detoxifying blood has disappeared, there is a high probability that he will die in pain if he is exposed to the virus.

He must first train his body to the extreme. As for the collapse, he will touch it again sooner or later, and sooner or later he will get back everything he lost.

102. Grow Up

After everyone in the Far East Branch disappeared, life became peaceful, and Skymancer continued to operate as usual, with the cooperation of the major branches and the headquarters, and the presence of two S-class Valkyries to handle major matters. No more Herrschers were born, and during the peaceful time, Skymancer prepared to prevent the next threat and continued his research on Gneius.

Time flies by in this tranquility.

……

"With Fu Hua's excellent grades, if she studies hard, she will have no problem getting into the best high school in the city. If she continues like this, she might fail at a critical moment. As a guardian, you need to pay more attention to the candidate's mental state and have more conversations with her."

As Hua's guardian, Shen Yunie was called to the school to talk to the teacher. During the time when the girl was in high school, he was called to the school for talks quite a few times. Although Hua was obedient and would not cause trouble in school, the girl was still not happy to let her learn things that she understood everything.

So she basically did things on her own, and her almost perfect grades made all the teachers speechless. They only occasionally talked to Shen Yunie in private, hoping that he could teach Hua a lesson. After all, a leader is most likely to lead others astray.

Shen Yunie taught her, but Hua Zun would go her own way after a while. Gradually, all the students in the school regarded her as a god-like existence and no longer followed her.

Now that he was called over again, it meant that things had become more serious and Hua started skipping classes.

After listening to this, Shen Yunie calmly said to the head teacher in front of him: "I understand. I will talk to her when I get back."

The large windbreaker covered his muscular body, but it couldn't hide his upright back. The handsome face under the long black hair attracted the attention of several female teachers around him. Hua's head teacher was the first to be attracted. After finishing the business, her eyes fell on Shen Yunie's face, and her heart was a little rippled when she saw it.

He has grown up... He is still as handsome as before, his appearance has not changed, but his temperament has been replaced by maturity, and his high ponytail has become a shoulder-length low ponytail. Su Mian is half a witness, watching the boy from nearly two years ago gradually grow up and mature.

Just by looking at this face, it was hard for Su Mian to be attracted to other men. This was the reason why she had never been in a relationship, and also the reason why she became the head teacher of Hua's class.

It is now 2017, and it is already the second year that Shen Yunie and Hua have been staying in this small town. Time passed quickly, and in the quiet loneliness, he really grew into a young man, and his body has reached its limit under constant tempering.

Shen Yunie has never contacted Yaezakura. He knows that the shrine maiden living alone will suffer more painful loneliness than before, but he cannot go to see her. He needs to take everything he has regained to have the courage to meet her again.

Sometimes he would feel the pain of loneliness late at night, and the heart-wrenching pain made him want to meet them. Until he woke up and saw the two well-cared-for bouquets of flowers, his thoughts were extinguished by the cold reality, and all his desires were suppressed.

After admiring that handsome face for a long time, Su Mian asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you have time to eat tonight? Let's go to that private restaurant."

Shen Yunie came back to his senses. He had received a lot of care from Su Mian in the past two years. She was the second woman he contacted besides Hua.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yunie raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I'll go ask her opinion. If there's nothing wrong, I'll take her over."

"Okay, okay..." Su Mian's smile was much more obvious, but he gradually restrained it. He was happy to be with Shen Yunie again, but Fu Hua was always by his side. Basically, every time he made an appointment with him, he would always bring that girl with him.

There will never be a world for two people. From the beginning, he was a private detective. Although he no longer makes money in that way, after spending a long time together, Su Mian fell in love with Shen Yunie unconsciously.

Because the other party is too young, she has been keeping a secret crush on him until now, and sees no hope.

"Then I'll leave." Having finished the discussion, Shen Yunie said gently and turned to leave the office.

Two years had passed in a trance, Shen Yunie had really grown up, and there was no trace of the sixteen-year-old boy. His keen perception ability was not that he could not sense Su Mian's little thoughts. He had to wait for his lover and could not stay in the normal society for a long time, so he pretended not to know.

I often skip classes recently...

Shen Yunie lowered her eyes in deep thought, with a helpless smile on her face. Hua, who had grown up, had his own ideas and thoughts, and was able to not rely on herself, but was also becoming more and more disobedient.

He couldn't decide whether it was good or bad.

The figure walked forward in the corridor, occasionally passing by a classroom and always attracting a lot of attention, until he came to Hua's classroom, the girl's seat was empty, not even her schoolbag was placed. Shen Yunie remembered the way she greeted him when she left the house in the morning, he sighed softly and walked past.

At the stairs, Shen Yunie, who was walking downstairs, happened to meet a small figure who was running up the stairs quickly with a schoolbag on his back. It was already afternoon, so being late could not be delayed until now.

The girl lowered her head, her low ponytail swinging left and right behind her back, and she walked quickly up the stairs. She suddenly looked up and saw Shen Yunie's expressionless face, and she stopped where she was.

Shen Yunie looked down at the girl with a stiff expression in an emotionless tone, "My head teacher told me that you often skip classes."

For people with Honkai energy, the appearance changes will be much later than that of normal people. Hua, who is already 18 years old, has not changed in appearance, but her ruby-like pure eyes are filled with many emotions. The school uniform still looks loose on her, but she does not look thin. There is a delicate face between her hair. She rolled up her sleeves to reveal her white wrists, and her hair fell to her waist in an almost identical low ponytail.

The fair little hand seemed to be subconsciously clenched because of guilt, "No, no... I just encountered something."

"I've been called here, do you think you can still make excuses?" Shen Yunie walked downstairs and took the girl's hand, "Hua, have you ever used Honkai energy?"

Among all the rules that have been set, the one that must be strictly followed is that the arbitrary use of Honkai energy is not allowed.

Apart from the fact that using Honkai energy would be noticed by Destiny, Shen Yunie knew that the soul hidden in the senior's body was essentially a Herrscher, and he could not be sure whether the Honkai consciousness was communicating with the girl's soul. Perhaps not using Honkai energy could prevent her from being affected.
