Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

The illusion will not end until this night, and she has no confidence facing an emperor-level Honkai beast without being able to use Honkai energy.

"Shen Yunie, are you asleep?" The girl stood in front of the wooden door and tentatively called into the room. In fact, she should have fallen asleep, after all, she had slept for so long.

She didn't know who to turn to to help her solve her troubles, so she only thought of one person.

Leia, who woke up at about the same time, heard a sound not far away. Kiana didn't pay attention to the volume of her voice. She was standing at the other door facing her own door.

The little boy in her arms was sleeping soundly. She hesitated for a while before pushing his shoulder and saying, "Wake up, someone is looking for you."

Shen Yunie opened his eyes sleepily and vaguely heard a voice calling him from outside the room. He lowered his head and pressed on the softness, "Qiana, I'm in this room, don't disturb others."

"Did I remember it wrong?" Kiana touched her head blankly. It was indeed quite dark, and she couldn't see much. She turned around and walked to the door of this room. "Did you get enough sleep? I want to chat with you."

"I want to sleep. It's tiring to consume my vitality." Shen Yunie's voice was very light, and she was obviously very tired.

The girl felt a little regretful, but it made sense. She could only turn around and face the door again, "Okay, go to sleep. I'll see if Sister Leah is awake, and I'll chat with her."

There was no response, and after a long while, there were the sounds of dull and hurried footsteps. The door behind Kiana was opened instantly, and she couldn't see anything clearly, and the room was quickly closed again.

Shen Yunie put on her clothes, rubbed her messy hair, stared at her and said, "Don't disturb others, what are you talking about?"

153. I like him

Kiana was dragged out by Shen Yunie to prepare food for a few people. When she came back, she happened to meet Leia walking out the door.

"Hey, isn't that your room, Shen Yunie?" She looked at Leah in surprise, then looked at the boy beside her, rubbing her eyes vigorously. She clearly didn't remember it wrong!

"You must have remembered it wrongly. This is my room." Shen Yunie said calmly, stretching out her hand to open the door of her room without locking it. It was obviously when she was called out just now.

The third floor of the hotel was very dark, so the two of them went outside to get lanterns to add a little light. He looked at Leah, wondering why she went out at such a coincidence.

"Is it because it's too dark?" Leah said, avoiding the little boy's gaze, her cheeks slightly flushed in the darkness. It's not her fault. The sleep time originally scheduled last night was extended so far, so she naturally slept longer.

Fortunately, it is always dark here and there are no markings of doors.

Kiana blinked, a little shaken by her firm belief. After thinking for a long time, she said depressedly: "Maybe I really remembered it wrong. Sister Leah, come and eat."

She handed the food over. It couldn't be that the two of them stayed in the same room last night. She thought it was more credible that she remembered it wrong.

"Thank you." Leah secretly breathed a sigh of relief and finished the food with a smile.

The other two woke up after a while and ate food on the dimly lit third floor, waiting for the next action. There were king-level monsters here, as well as the controlled Yaezakura. The next battle was going to be very difficult.

"When it's over, I'll be free." Leah stretched lazily, and her tight kimono couldn't hide her perfect figure. It was so depressing to stay in the dark all the time, and she wanted to go back to Saint Freya.

"Liberation?" Kiana sat beside her and repeated the word in a low voice. She felt a little lost. Although she had only known Leah for a short time, she felt warm from her.

Liberation means leaving and never seeing each other again. She felt a little lost when she thought about this.

"Kiana, you don't seem very happy?" Leia keenly caught the disappointment that flashed across the girl's face. She moved closer and asked curiously.

“No.” The girl shook her head vigorously, eating the rice ball made of brown rice in her hand. “I just can’t bear to leave you. It would be better if Sister Leah didn’t disappear.”

Leah couldn't imagine that she would be remembered in such a short time. How could she explain it? After being freed, she would become an invisible and intangible soul.

She stroked the silver hair and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, I will remember you even if I am gone. If you miss me, go find Yu Nie. Don't you think we are very similar?"

Kiana turned her head and looked at Shen Yunie who was sitting there silently eating rice balls. Now she didn't think they were similar at all. As she thought about it, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. "Sister Leah, do you like him?"

"I like him. He's handsome and kind-hearted." Leah nodded without hesitation, holding her face with an admiring look, "I think all girls like him. It's a pity that I'm just a soul that will disappear, so I don't have the chance to confess."

Kiana nodded blankly, it sounded like one of those love movies with sad endings. The heroine inevitably disappears, leaving the hero alone to grieve. It's said to be a sublimation of feelings, but it doesn't always work. Sometimes it's more the screenwriter's malice that makes people more impressed.

"Tell me about any girls he likes at school." Leah poked the girl's shoulder and said without any sadness. Although she saw it with her own eyes every day, it felt different when someone else said it, "Scandal or something."

"No." Kiana shook her head. "He seems to be able to get along peacefully with everyone, but also seems to be incompatible with everyone. How can there be any scandals? They are all made up by everyone... If there are any, we have them all."

She was comforting Leah, and she was also telling the truth. Shen Yunie didn't make full use of that face, it was such a waste.

"That makes me happy~" Leah smiled and stretched lazily in the wind. "Before we finish, I will give you a hug and then we'll end it."

The rest time is over. The few people have stayed in the illusion for a day and a night, but it is always dark here, and no one knows how much time has passed outside. The next task is to break through the castle tower and the shrine.

This time, Kiana also followed Mei, and the three of them went to the castle tower together. Shen Yunie took Lia to the shrine to find Yaezakura.

"Sister Leah, are you teasing Kiana again?" Shen Yunie asked as he walked on the dirt slope. He was sitting quite far away just now, so he could only see the occasional changes in their expressions.

"Just chatting, I want to know what others think of you." Leah said lightly. The road they were heading to this time was different. The surrounding hillsides were planted with willow trees. It was pitch black, as if something was sitting on the treetops staring at them.

She walked forward and hugged the boy's arm, "Unanimous praise. I like Kiana very much, do you like her?"

"Just a simple friend." Shen Yunie said, "If I were to say I like you, I wouldn't like you."

Apart from Leia, it is unlikely that he would like Kiana.

"Come to think of it, you've never liked a girl before." Leah looked at her clenched fists and said, "Find someone you really like, otherwise your youth will be incomplete."

"To protect the world, how can we have a complete youth?" Shen Yunie said casually. He looked around and saw the two of them approaching the shrine. "And you are here."

“I don’t mind sharing it with others.”

"I do care."

Leia was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to look at the little boy, only to find that he had turned his face to the other side, looking around seriously.

In the shrine, the shrine maiden stood quietly with her back to the entrance. She was a puppet who would indiscriminately kill anyone who came here. Yaezakura's soul was firmly imprisoned in the depths, and no matter how she struggled, it was useless.

She saw with her own eyes the fox's claw smashing the boy's body into pieces, and could only scream in grief in her heart.

"Hiyukumaru, why!" Yae Sakura didn't understand. The monster clearly had the ability to occupy her body, but it made her suffer here.

"I just want to see the painful expression on your face." A playful voice sounded in her ears. Yae Sakura looked at the darkness around her. She was trying hard to break free from the restraints, but her best efforts could only cause tiny cracks in the barrier.

She had to wait for herself to break through, she had to wait for herself to break through. She began to hope that no one would come looking for her.

"Yae Sakura, your guest is here."

154. For Mom

On the shrine platform, the shrine maiden's body trembled slightly, and then she regained her composure and turned to face Hou Fang. The Prajna mask on her face, her eyes lit up with a strange red light.

"Yae Sakura!" Leah shouted at the shrine maiden. She no longer had much hope of waking her up directly, she just wanted to see if she would react.

Obviously there was no response, the witch clenched the knife in her hand and stabbed it into the ground, and the collapse energy spread and quickly condensed into dozens of dead soldiers. It seemed that with the experience of the previous two people's escape, this time the dead soldiers quickly formed a circle, and more and more.

Shen Yunie and Liya were not planning to escape, otherwise they would not have come to this place. They only needed to break through the castle tower and send out a signal for help.

"They've already hugged and kissed each other, but they're still trying to kill each other." Leah sighed softly and said helplessly, "If Sakura really knew, she would apologize to death."

She had no choice but to take action. She quickly retreated. Before coming here, she and her friends had gotten a lot of short swords and swords for self-defense. Leah casually pulled out a sword from its sheath and faced the surrounding assassins.

Her body became weak but the fighting memory deep in her bones was still there. All she had to do was to protect her own safety.

"bump--"

The blood-colored and golden lights shattered and condensed into their weapons. Less than half a meter away, in front of him was Yaezakura's face. Shen Yunie still felt the mountain-like pressure descending, and his body did not become stronger but weaker.

He was not panicked, and his heart was much more determined than before.

Black Abyss White Flower thrust out heavily, forcibly pushing Yae Sakura back with all her strength, followed by an overwhelming spear technique. Each shot tore through the airflow, and under the extremely fast attack, even the miko who could use Honkai energy was powerless to resist.

She kept resisting, and when the time was right she swung the magic sword at the young man from a great distance.

At that moment, the blade seemed to stretch, and the collapse energy gathered to transform into a blade several meters long, as if it was indestructible. Shen Yunie held the gun to block, and the black abyss and white flower were cut in the middle, and the blood blade rushed straight to his chest.

The broken blade flew over and hit the witch's arm, causing the attack to be completely deflected. Leah gasped for breath. She didn't expect that she would be so fragile after turning into a physical body, nor did she expect that the swords would shatter into pieces in an instant like white paper when they hit the dead soldiers.

She felt powerless, but she was unwilling to give up. She tiredly shouted to the miko who was about to kill them with a knife: "Yae Sakura!"

The witch was stunned in place, and the cracks in the seal were getting more and more. She was being saved by others, but she was still locked here, helplessly watching her body almost kill the person she loved.

The emotions of anger and despair were getting heavier. Yaezakura kept hitting the glass wall with her hands. The cracks were expanding and her hands were already bleeding. She said angrily with red eyes: "Hiyukumaru, I will kill you! I will definitely kill you. Why are you torturing me? Why?

It was the same before and it is the same now, why are you holding on to me so tightly? When I get out, I will kill you all!"

Yaezakura's voice became sharper, until the sound rushed into her ears, and she smashed her fist against the glass fiercely, not caring whether blood and flesh splattered or bones broke.

Suddenly, everything became quiet. A desperate scene appeared before her eyes. The broken traces were all restored in an instant. There was no such thing as breaking. Feiyuwan was just torturing her and watching her despair after struggling.

A heavy sigh sounded, and the demon with a broken mind sighed at this moment, "Then you can die. Die..."

"boom!"

Blood-red lightning cut through the darkness. The sudden thunder stunned Shen Yunie and Lia, and then they saw the witch start to move again. She waved the blood-red demon sword and fell towards them from a long distance.

The blood blade cut through the space, and in that instant the two saw the real world. All the villagers in the small village had become dead soldiers, and they kept falling down. The collapse energy was all gathering towards one place.

Everything in front of Shen Yunie was dark.

……

On the seventh floor of the castle tower, the girls' battle was extremely difficult. They were facing a monster that looked like an emperor Houkai beast, and they were unable to use Houkai energy.

"Bronya, go to the top floor and send a signal, go quickly!" Kiana shouted at Bronya, and threw the broken blade at the monster with half a general's body.

Black flames flashed past quickly, and then the blade melted and fell like water. Then the two black knives wrapped in flames slashed at her, and she bent back as if to fold over to avoid one of the knives. Her body's super resilience began to rebound and jump up, avoiding the second knife that was close to the ground.

Kiana likes to play those difficult games, which can show her superb skills, but in reality she absolutely hates it. It's too scary. If you are not careful, you may die. Dancing in front of death is not a pleasant feeling.

This was a situation they could never win, even with Honkai energy they couldn't win. But in this situation she still had to let Bronya leave, otherwise she would have to fight forever until they died.

"Bronya will be back soon." The girl drove the broken heavy-duty bunny to catch herself and flew towards the window behind the monster. She was the one who held the monster's body back before, otherwise the three of them would have collapsed when it got close.

The warrior general is a monster without intelligence, it will only attack the creature closest to it. As Bronya approaches, Kiana and Mei also run out together. The monster originally raised the knife to attack the heavy-armored bunny, but as another figure approaches, it stops stiffly and swings the knife at the person in front of it again.

"Kiana, get out of the way!" With the two swords stacked together, it was impossible to dodge. The two girls never thought about how to dodge, they just wanted to help Bronya cover and wait for her to get out and send a signal.

Then she would be cut in two by the double swords, and it was unknown whether she would die completely or be resurrected. It was absolutely impossible for them to die together. At the moment when the sword fell, Mei suddenly pressed down Kiana's body and faced the blade without hesitation.

The figure became illusory and Mei disappeared.

"Bang--" The girl fell heavily to the ground, her face full of astonishment. She turned her head and looked around but couldn't find any familiar figure. In the darkness, there was only the monster and her.

"Mei, Mei?" Kiana shouted with great effort, and waves of severe pain came from her body. A feeling of helplessness filled her heart. If they died, they should die together... What should she do if she stayed here? It was obvious that she had no chance of defeating that monster.

The warrior general was approaching her, with a mountain-like pressure, and the double swords wrapped in black flames would cut her body in two in the next moment. Kiana could only watch in despair, and the swords she brought had long been used up.

"Do you need my strength? Just two words are enough." A faint voice sounded beside her ears. In this desperate silence, Kiana heard it clearly. It was the tender and hoarse voice of a little girl.

"Where are you... who are you!" she asked blankly, there was clearly no one around. The voice seemed to be asking right next to her ear, "I need it! I need strength, but what do I have to pay for it?"

“This time it’s free.”

"What are you doing for?"

"……Mother."

The warrior general swung down a huge blade, directly trying to kill the girl. It has no intelligence and does not feel fear. The only creature that may be suppressed is its master, who has a higher Honkai energy than itself.

The knife froze in mid-air and could no longer fall. It could not sense the girl's location. All it had was a tsunami-like collapse energy erupting before its eyes. The bewildered girl was facing the blade, and if it fell another half an inch, it would cut her. Her beautiful blue eyes changed.

It turned into a light golden color, and the heterochromatic pupils revealed a hint of weirdness.

155. Return to You

The sword was crushed at random, and the warrior general's fear finally came. The terrifying collapse energy in front of him seemed to have changed into a different person, as if it could tear the sky apart. The two colors of eyes, either one alone has a breathtaking beauty, but when they appear together, they exude weirdness.

Kiana stood up, her face was cold after the conversation, she stared at the monster quietly. Facing it, she stretched out her hand and clenched it tightly, the space seemed to collapse, and the body of the warrior general was gradually torn into pieces and crushed into a cube.

"Waste." The girl looked at the Honkai energy flowing out of her fingertips. In this illusion, power was indeed suppressed, but it was only for the weak. The truly strong were not restricted by this kind of confinement at all.

If she wanted, it wouldn't be a problem for her to fly out and kill that useless fellow. It was so rare to have this body again. She suddenly felt a little reluctant to move for a while longer. After all, if she gave up, she would return to the darkness.

But no, she still had a goal to accomplish, to see that woman for the last time. The remaining humanity was what she hated the most. Although she didn't need to pay attention to it, it was like a cold, and it was extremely uncomfortable when it broke out without any defense.

So it must be eradicated, but it will only continue to be buried in the darkness. Returning this emotion to that woman is the purest self.

"I'll give it back to you!" As she spoke, a pale golden light shone from her palms, and she flapped her wings like a butterfly, slowly flew out of the window and drifted into the distance. Tassels fell wherever she passed, like a miniature meteor shower.

There were pale golden tears in the corners of her eyes. The golden color in the girl's eyes gradually faded, and then her eyes returned to azure blue. Her pupils collapsed and she fainted. Kiana had no idea what happened. The last thing she remembered was the monster swinging a giant knife at her.

Maybe I died again...

Bronya climbed to the top of the castle tower with great effort. Standing on the top of the pagoda, she could overlook the entire village. The cold wind blew on her face. The bracelet finally showed a signal, and the tower under her feet was shaking violently.

She felt a purple virus crawling across her face in an instant, as if a very high concentration of Honkai energy had erupted instantly. If she hadn't resisted it any longer, she would have been killed. She didn't quite understand what was happening, so she could only send out a distress signal as quickly as possible.

This was the only chance. The invisible signal broke through the illusion and flew into the sky, then shuttled at high speed and finally landed in Saint Freya under the night. In the research institute and the teachers' workshops, shrill alarms sounded. Students were asking for help!

"It's a team led by the Black Abyss Knight. They haven't made any contact, and the signal also appears normal!" The researcher was already a little overwhelmed, and his hands were quickly operating the instrument to switch the screen, because just an hour ago, the aftermath of the collapse of Changkong City broke out.

A large number of Honkai beasts appeared above the ruins, and the three teachers went to destroy them together, while the researchers did monitoring work. Now there was a sudden signal for help, who should go?
