Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

"Is it really a soul?" Kiana looked at Leah in surprise. She stepped forward and frightened her so much that she took a few steps back. "Sister, why are you here? Is this an illusion or have we traveled through time?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a hand pressed her shoulder. Shen Yunie pushed the girl back to her original position and said calmly, "We are now in an illusion, and that tornado was released by the master of Honkai energy.

We don’t know what it is yet, but it’s no less than the Imperial class. The task is more difficult than expected.”

The young man put his hands behind his back and secretly gestured to Leah, which calmed her panic. She bit her lip and whispered to the girls what they had discussed, "Well, I am indeed a soul trapped here. Only if you find a way to break this illusion can you leave. I can also be free..."

It should be considered a relief. After breaking through this illusion, she returned to her original state and returned to Yu Nie's body.

Is it liberation instead of living? Several girls looked at Leah with pity. Even death was tortured. With the calm Shen Yunie, they would not question Leah's identity or whether she would be a threat to them.

"I'm sorry... I scared you just now, Sister Cecilia." Kiana's reaction was the most serious. Her little face turned pale inexplicably. When she heard the other party say that she was relieved, she felt a pain in her heart.

With the little boy standing in front of her, Leah felt relieved. The girls in front of her were all good girls, so there was no need to be afraid. She said gently, "It's okay, just call me Leah. Don't worry, I will help you."

They didn't know if their conversation would reach the monster's ears, but they had to discuss a battle plan. As Shen Yunie and Lia were on their way, they saw the vague outline of a Torii Shrine on a distant mountain, while Kiana and the others saw a pagoda on the other side of the mountain.

Those two places are probably the boundaries of this village.

"Let's go check out those two places." Shen Yunie said to the girls seriously. The current situation is dangerous, so he must use his years of combat experience and be a good leader. "Kiana, you follow me. Mei and Bronya are in the same team.

Just go and take a look, you don't have to get close if you have something special. Remember this is an illusion but we are real, and death may be real death."

The strongest fighter right now is Bronya, followed by Shen Yunie and Meiyi. Kiana, who has no armor and cannot use the Moon Goddess Guardian, is the weakest. This is the best choice if the two teams have similar combat power.

"This place is like the ancient Far East." After discussing the battle method, Kiana looked around and couldn't help saying, "It's quite beautiful. I don't know why that monster insisted on hiding and not fighting with us."

"The Snow Festival is more beautiful than this, don't linger on." Shen Yunie touched her head and said helplessly.

The action plan began. Bronya was carried by Mei and walked towards the pagoda building in the distance, while Shen Yune took Kiana to the shrine, and Leah naturally followed.

In the dimly lit shrine, Feiyuwan looked at the people on the screen and grinned. Just as they thought, the air here was the eyes of the Herrscher, and it could monitor without blind spots, as long as it had the will to do so.

"Yae Sakura, they seem to be coming to see you." The fox turned to look at the priestess hanging beside him, stretched out his paw and gently pushed her body, creating ripples in this strange pool of blood, "Should you go to greet them?"

"What are you going to do!" Yaezakura gritted her teeth, her bloodless face showing an angry look. Her body was unable to exert any strength, and under the erosion of this Houkai energy, her body gradually began to collapse.

Seeing her angry, the more excited the Higashimaru became. The scene turned to Mei, and it said, "You can go and kill them, or you don't have to. Staying in this area, their vitality is decreasing all the time, and they will be almost dead by the time the show is over."

"Monster, let them go!"

"Impossible~" Feiyuwan looked at the angry face, and gently touched it with his sharp fox claws, as if he was looking at a work of art. "If I don't kill them, how can your body belong to me? And the discussion is over. You are not qualified to negotiate with me now."

After saying this, the blood-red energy was injected into the body of the shrine maiden. The Honkai energy returned, forcing Yae Sakura into a deep sleep with its domineering will. The flame-like Honkai energy enveloped the shrine maiden's entire body, and the kimono on her body turned into armor.

Her delicate face was covered with a mask made of Honkai energy. The handle of the spirit sword that had accompanied her for a long time began to tremble violently, and even the sword was corroded. Sakura Fubuki's name disappeared, and the pink blade turned blood red in the transformation of Honkai energy.

It is no longer a spiritual sword, now it is a demon sword.

Looking at the miko who had completely lost consciousness, the madness in Feiyuwan's eyes disappeared a lot, and he whispered in a low voice: "You are mine. My sister back then, and you now, we should be stuck in the quagmire forever, and no one else is allowed to interfere."

The transformation of Honkai energy was completed, and Yae Sakura was released. She was covered in blood-colored Honkai energy that only Feiyumaru could see. Her face was blocked by a mask and her face could not be seen clearly. She had a demon sword on her waist. It looked at her with satisfaction, "Go and greet your guests."

In the center of the deathly silent shrine, the shrine maiden stood there quietly.

The road to the shrine is still long and requires constant crossing of hillsides. Both sides of the dirt road are lined with lush bamboos that come together to block out the sun. The faint stone lanterns are a strange light blue color, like the ghost lights in the movies.

It's dark here, day or night.

Shen Yunie walked in front to clear the way for the two women. He was ready to release the Black Abyss and White Flowers at any time. If a monster appeared, he would be exposed.

The atmosphere was obviously a bit depressing, Kiana and Leah walked side by side, chatting in low voices to relieve this feeling. It seemed that Leah had been trapped for a long time, and Kiana felt very distressed, so she kept telling her about her life outside of school.

"Don't think Shen Yunie is a nice person now, but he always acts like he's crushing others!" Kiana pointed at the tall and straight-backed boy and secretly said bad things about him, "Every time he makes me feel desperate and bullied."

"Yeah..." Leah nodded, trying not to laugh. Being bullied? She watched him every day, so it felt more like a sign of intimacy.

148. Like a mother

Kiana believed in the idea of ​​souls trapped here, but she also felt sorry for the woman named Cecilia.

It was just a lie she made up. In order to convince the girls, Leah said that she had been lost here for hundreds of years and was accidentally pulled into this illusion. After she disappeared, they would still meet, but she would just be watching them.

Kiana felt even more distressed after hearing these words. Hundreds of years ago, it was still ancient times. After death, they became wandering ghosts. Now they are still imprisoned and can't see a good life at all.

So he kept talking about his life since childhood, and Leia listened quietly without feeling bored.

"That day, Mei and I were walking in the quiet school, and suddenly we felt an earthquake. Looking out the window, it seemed as if the whole sky was collapsing..." Kiana said, not forgetting to observe the surroundings. Although it is not good to do two things at the same time, there is a reliable Shen Yunie standing in front, so there is no need to worry too much, "Shen Yunie will come to save me later, but it would be better if it was faster.

I was still very touched when I learned this later. After all, a hero who was busy saving the world still remembered me and came to save my life.”

"You said he bullied you." Leah asked her with a smile on her face. The girl's mind was indeed strange and hard to figure out. "But now you are talking about Yu Nie as if he is a saint."

"But isn't that how siblings get along?" Kiana replied casually. Soon she realized something was wrong. Her cheeks flushed. She looked at the boy in front of her to make sure he wouldn't turn around before she whispered, "It was Shen Yunie who said that we are unlucky siblings."

"That's great. You can follow him from now on. He will take good care of you." Leia reached out and touched the silver hair. It was as smooth and comfortable as her own hair. It was obvious that he took good care of it every day.

"Yes." The girl's eyes flickered because of the light. It should be true, Shen Yunie has been taking good care of her since they met.

It would be nice if I really had such a brother. Unfortunately, Kiana only has an unreliable father who disappeared six years ago, and an aunt who hides everything from her.

Every time she asked Theresa about her mother, she would brush it off. She would always say: You will know when you grow up. As a result, she still doesn't know her mother's name.

It's just about the collapse, is it something taboo? It is indeed taboo. There is no information or data about the first and second collapse in the modern history class. After all, it is modern history, and those things happened not long ago. If they were exposed, it might shake the Valkyries.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her." Leia said in a doting tone.

"Hehe, Sister Leah, I'm very happy if you say that, but it's better not to torture Shen Yunie. I believe in him."

In Kiana's ears, that sentence sounded like it was saying, if he doesn't take care of you, I will possess him and torture him in his dreams.

Leah didn't think it was torture, but just riding on the little boy's waist, pinching his face, and holding him tightly to prevent him from moving if he didn't agree. If that didn't work, she could just pretend to be angry. It could only be considered an order or a request.

"Forget about that, tell me about your hobbies." She took Kiana's hand, her eyes full of doting. She looked like a mother who hadn't seen her for a long time. After listening to her daughter's life, she asked about her well-being.

"Well, I like Mei and the dishes she cooks..."

"We're almost there." The young man interrupted the conversation between the two girls. Shen Yunie turned around, the smile on her face had disappeared, revealing a serious look. She always felt that the atmosphere was not right. Although there were laughter and joy, the air was very depressing.

That was Honkai energy. The Honkai energy emitted by the shrine could be felt even from two or three kilometers away. There might be something hidden there, something that they couldn't handle with their current strength.

He added: "Qiana, remember to protect Leia."

He is ready to release the Black Abyss White Flower at any time. With his explosive power, it is no problem for him to kill a tank-level Honkai beast in an instant, but he cannot use Honkai energy, and he cannot withstand more Honkai beasts.

"I know. I hope it's a Honkai beast." Kiana nodded repeatedly, tightly grasped the short sword given by Mei, and protected Leah behind her. "I hope it's not something scary."

Next is the hillside, with a vermilion torii gate, the paint on it has faded slightly and looks very old. Torii gates are erected every fifty meters until they lead to the grand shrine.

There was no life, no lights, and it sat there quietly like a giant beast that would devour people in the darkness. There were no stars or moon on this night, and it seemed like a sleepless night in the illusion.

As they got closer and closer to the shrine, Shen Yunie also shortened the distance. The road at the foot of the hill turned into a bluestone road. Ten meters away from them was a brick platform. They were walking towards the main entrance of the shrine.

Kiana shrank her neck and looked around, but there was no cold wind blowing. A small hand was placed on her head and touched it. She looked up and saw Shen Yunie showing a helpless smile.

"Do not be afraid."

"Ah."

Shen Yunie was the first to step onto the steps and came to the empty platform in front of the shrine. There was no light in the dark night and it should have been pitch black. But at this moment, a faint light was lit up, not from a stone lantern, but from a person with his back to them.

The boy was stunned. The long pink hair that was slightly curly and reached her waist and the slender figure made him recognize who it was instantly. Leah was also stunned. She didn't expect that the person she had missed for so long would actually meet here.

"Ying..." She wanted to go forward but was stopped by Shen Yunie.

After coming back to his senses from his shock, he realized that this was clearly not a place for a reunion. He took a few steps forward and tentatively called out to Yaezakura, "Sister Sakura?"

The miko responded and turned around. The others could see her face clearly. She was wearing a scarlet and ferocious Prajna mask, and a kimono embroidered with cherry blossoms with armor on her shoulders. She was silent for a few seconds, and seemed to be sizing them up, and then...

"Run!" Shen Yunie shouted instantly, because he saw Yaezakura drawing her sword towards them. He shouted at the two of them, but he went to the witch, "Kiana, take Leah and run!"

The scabbard with the fiery red cloud pattern pulled out the blood-red sword, and the terrifying slash tore through the air, as if it was going to tear the boy apart. Then there was a collision sound, and after the golden light flashed, the black abyss and white flowers resisted the blade, but the sharp impact made Shen Yunie feel like he was hit.

Yaezakura's collapse can be terrifying, it was before and even more so now.

Leia opened her eyes wide and wanted to follow, but was held down by a hand. She turned her head and looked at Kiana anxiously, but she only saw the girl shaking her head vigorously.

149. Listen to me, your brother!

"Sister Leah, you can't go!" Kiana said anxiously, pressing her shoulder. She still had some fighting ability, but Leah really didn't have any fighting ability at all, "I'll go help him!"

After the girl finished speaking, she ran towards the two people who were fighting with a dagger in her hand. Under the heavy blows from Yaezakura, even though Shen Yunie barely managed to block it, his body still suffered a great impact. His mind was a little dazed, and the blood-red katana in front of him stabbed towards his chest without hesitation.

"Chong-"

Fragments flew everywhere, and the short sword instantly broke into half, and Kiana helped block the fatal blow. Shen Yunie suddenly came to his senses, and the black abyss and white flower stabbed at the witch's shoulder, but missed because she stepped back.

The boy was able to catch his breath and quickly said to Kiana, "Why are you here? Take Leah and run!"

"Because I was a bad student who never listened to the Valkyrie rules and the leader's words." Kiana looked at the broken dagger in her hand. At least it was still a sharp weapon that could be used. Facing the suffocating miko, she frowned and asked, "Why did Sister Yaesakura become like this?"

Shen Yunie also had a frown on his face. He was being manipulated and controlled. There might be a chance for him to wake up, but the current dangerous situation did not give him any chance at all.

He said, "I don't know, but you should..."

The sudden terrifying pressure interrupted his words, and Yae Sakura suddenly stabbed the demon sword in her hand into the ground, and it sank in easily like cutting tofu. Visible red Houkai energy emanated from her body, and her whole body was wrapped in that energy. The eyes of the Prajna mask emitted a strange red light.

A strange scene appeared in front of Leia's eyes, and she couldn't help but scream, "Look around!"

Black figures appeared out of nowhere, twisting their stiff bodies and approaching. They were death warriors covered in blood. There were at least fifty or sixty of them, and they were gradually surrounding the few people.

A battle is never as simple as one on two. Yaezakura, transformed into a monster, summons her own followers like a Herrscher.

"You should listen to me, your brother." Shen Yunie withdrew his gaze from the dead soldiers. Now he had no time to be shocked, because Yaezakura was also running towards them. In less than a minute, it would be a desperate situation of death.

"Take Leah and escape now. The assassins haven't formed a circle yet!" He gave the order in an unquestionable tone. Facing the suffocating pressure from Yaezakura, he rushed forward without hesitation. "I won't fight them to the death. You stay here. I can't leave."

When he said this, his tone was extremely calm, as if he was about to do something simple. The golden knight's spear collided with the demon sword, making a roar like the hardest metal in the world.

Shen Yunie was knocked back by the attack, and the sharp wind blade cut through the clothes on his chest, and was just about to penetrate his chest.

"Do you need my help? Just two words are enough."

Kiana was slightly stunned. She seemed to hear someone whispering something in her ear in a bewitching tone. But when she turned around, there was no one around her. Leah was ten meters away from her, and Shen Yunie was fighting with Yaezakura.

The task now was to run. She didn't think about it anymore, turned around and ran towards Leah, grabbed her hand and rushed towards the place where the assassins had not surrounded her.

"Let me go!" Leah was taken away. She anxiously tried to shake off the hand, but her body was not strong enough. She had never felt so weak before. She could easily kill the assassins before, but now she was as weak as a willow branch that would be broken by a gust of wind. "I want to find him, I want to find him!"

This was the only time the two of them had no telepathy. She didn't know Yune's physical condition, what to do, or even if he would die here. Panic instantly filled her heart.

"We have to go." Kiana gritted her teeth. She really wanted to agree to that strange voice. If it could give her the power to kill all these monsters, she would be willing to pay anything.

But she couldn't take the risk. If she stayed for a second, she would become a burden to Shen Yunie. She hugged Liya tightly and rushed out before the assassins surrounded her. She ran madly towards the road down the mountain. The assassins were not prepared to chase them, but completely surrounded them.

Shen Yunie felt relieved. Escape? First, he had to defeat Yaezakura. "Sister Sakura?"

He shouted and tried to wake the other person up, but what he was greeted with was the slash of the demon sword. The sharp wind blade fell on his body mercilessly, and blood lines appeared on his muscular and tight skin.

The Black Abyss White Flower constructed from energy bodies is still solid and will not break no matter what kind of attack it is. Otherwise, he would not even have a chance to escape after losing his weapon.

"Wake up." Shen Yunie was still saying that he couldn't beat Yaezakura and even if he could, he couldn't bear to do it now. "Don't be controlled by Honkai, don't close your heart, there are people waiting for you!"

Still slashing, the eyes of the Prajna mask flashed a strange red light, and the speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. Every time he resisted, it was triggered by intuition, and then he raised his hand and heard the dull sound of impact.

"Yes, that's right. Just kill him, Yaezakura." A teasing voice sounded, but it only rang in the ears of the miko. Feiyumaru looked at the scene of the fight, feeling very happy, but it would be nice if this was real.

It doesn’t matter, their lives will come to an end sooner or later in this fantasy world anyway.

Blood can clear the collapse. This thought suddenly came to Shen Yunie's mind. He didn't know if the method would work, but he had no other means at the moment. If it didn't work, he could just run away!

The young man retreated quickly, and the witch chased him relentlessly. He shortened the Black Abyss and White Flower and only held the tip of the gun and quickly stabbed it into his palm, not caring about the size of the wound. A large amount of blood immediately gushed out of the gap.

He clenched his fists, feeling the blood flowing through his fingertips, and swung at Yaezakura vigorously, a small amount of blood dripping onto the witch's mask. She should have raised her hand to slash, but now she suddenly stopped and stood there dumbly.

The mask made a corrosive sound, and Shen Yunie smiled. It finally worked. He didn't dare to get too close, and the assassins who came around were pierced at will. "Yae Sakura, wake up..."

The witch stood there quietly, as if she was about to be awakened, but the next second she started moving again. She rushed towards the boy, but was suppressed for less than a minute.

Shen Yunie's heart sank. He just felt that this situation was somewhat familiar. Unable to wake up Yae Sakura, he could only run away. After killing the assassin, there was no encirclement here. He just needed to turn around and run away.

……

A claw appeared out of nowhere in front of him. It was a scarlet fox claw, and it came towards him as if it had torn through space. Shen Yunie didn't even have the energy to dodge before he was hit. His head ached, and his consciousness blurred in an instant. He didn't know where he was smashed and flew away.

In the open space in front of the shrine, the priestess stopped, the fox claws disappeared, and the young man who was hit and pierced was nowhere to be found.

150. Dead?

It was pitch black and silent, and Mei and Bronya advanced very smoothly. After no one was around, the heavily armed bunny carried the two of them and moved forward quickly. The pagoda standing on the mountain was not guarded by anyone and did not seem to be a place where people lived.

"I wonder what's going on with Shen Yunie." Mei turned around and looked to the other side in worry. In the moonless night sky, she could only see the outline of the shrine. "This place is so scary. It's so prosperous and bustling, but it's full of man-eating monsters."
