"Huh?" The girl looked up in surprise, only to find Ye Ming's expression more serious than ever before.

"Hua, !^Group{Middle*Transfer(]Group.7)4#"6])2)1(5^$5[5(9+.

, your life, it was me who saved you, right? Without me, you would already be dead. So, try to complete the goal I give you, just consider it repaying my life-saving grace, how about it?"

"Okay," the girl obediently replied.

"Then—protect the lands of Shenzhou."

Ye Ming gazed deeply into the girl's eyes and said in a deep voice, "I come from a place called Huaxia. Huaxia is a nation located on the lands of Shenzhou. That place is my hometown. I hope you can work hard to become stronger, and after you become strong enough, go find the continent of Shenzhou, and then, protect it."

"You must always abide by our agreement, strive to live on, strive to become stronger, strong enough to protect the lands of Shenzhou, until you meet me again or die of old age. Are you willing to accept this goal?"

"I..."

I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have the ability to protect a continent at all.

Reason told the girl to say that, but meeting Ye Ming's clear and deep eyes, the girl couldn't bring herself to refuse no matter what.

"I am willing. I hate people who break promises the most, so I will definitely abide by this promise."

The girl promised earnestly.

"Is that so? If that's the case, then I can rest assured."

Ye Ming looked at the girl's earnest expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and revealed a gratified smile.

"I also want to make a promise with you."

The girl bravely raised her head, looked at Ye Ming, and her firm eyes contained a hint of shyness.

"Oh? What promise?" Ye Ming asked curiously.

"Live on!"

The girl stared intently into Ye Ming's eyes, "No matter what, you must live on properly."

Ye Ming smiled, "Okay, I promise you, I will live on properly. You and I will definitely be able to leave here safely and live on properly."

"That's a promise! I hate people who break promises the most, so you must live on properly."

"Okay, I guarantee, I will definitely abide by the promise."

Ye Ming nodded earnestly, and then said, "It's getting late, hurry up and rest. We still have to travel tomorrow."

"After waking up tomorrow morning, we will head in the direction where the sun rises."

"Head in the direction where the sun rises."

"Why repeat it again?" the girl asked, puzzled.

"Because important things must be said three times. I'm still one short," Ye Ming looked at the girl, "Okay, stop packing, don't rush. The road ahead is still long, we can slowly do the things we want to do."

After spending a few days together, the girl had become accustomed to Ye Ming saying strange things from time to time, and didn't think much about it. She spread out her bedding and lay down on the ground.

Ye Ming also spread out his bedding and lay down next to the girl.

The air suddenly became quiet.

The girl secretly glanced at Ye Ming. Under the blanket, Ye Ming was motionless, breathing evenly, seemingly already asleep.

The girl, however, couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Although she was exhausted both physically and mentally, her mind seemed to have a pile of clutter tumbling back and forth, making her upset and restless.

She turned her head to look out the window. The night sky was still illuminated red by the firelight, and the chaotic and oppressive night had become a permanent scene of the city.

Ye Ming, who was fast asleep, seemed to be awakened by her turning over. He wrapped himself in the blanket and turned over, quietly looking at her.

The girl looked back at those deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, without saying a word, unusually quiet.

There were strands of emotion lingering in the tranquility.

A long-lost sentimentality.

What will tomorrow be like?

Will the night end? Are there still living people in the outside world?

"Want to hold hands?" Ye Ming suddenly spoke, his hand already extending out from under the blanket.

After a while, the girl grasped it.

It's really so warm.

"Yo, didn't expect there to be living people in this city."

An unfamiliar female voice rang out above her head, startling the sleeping girl awake. She suddenly got up and took a defensive stance.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person," the female voice said.

The girl focused her eyes and saw that a woman with red hair was standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile.

The girl was stunned, turned her head and looked around, only to find that there were only two of them in the room. Ye Ming, who was originally sleeping next to her, was nowhere to be found.

A huge panic engulfed the girl's heart.

"Um, excuse me, have you seen a young man wearing a sword?" the girl's voice trembled.

"No, you're the only survivor in this city," the woman said quietly after a moment of silence.

Hearing this, the girl felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, her whole body ice-cold.

The red-haired woman continued.

"There's no helping it. Honkai is such a terrifying thing. Once it erupts, regardless of strength, anyone without Honkai resistance will be eroded and turned into those monsters outside."

"Come with me. I can teach you how to fight against Honkai, so you can have the power to protect those important to you."

Protect, the power to protect those important to you.

The girl raised her head, a glimmer of light appearing in her dim eyes.

[Then, let me give you a goal. Protect the land of Shenzhou. You must always abide by our agreement, strive to live, strive to become stronger, strong enough to protect the continent of Shenzhou, until you meet me again or die of old age. Are you willing to accept this goal?]

What a despicable fellow.

To actually—

Fu Hua stood up.

"Where are we going?"

"We're going to the base, in the direction of the rising sun. That's where I came from." The red-haired woman scratched her head. "It's strange, I haven't encountered a single living Honkai Beast on my way here. I don't know what happened. We should hurry up and leave, lest we encounter danger."

"Hey, why are you crying?" The red-haired woman looked at the tearful girl, flustered.

"N-nothing."

The girl wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves again and again, but she couldn't wipe them clean.

"I'll go with you. I want to fight against Honkai. I want to have the power to fulfill the promise."

The girl followed closely behind the red-haired woman.

No one knew that the girl, determined to fulfill her promise, was about to embark on a journey of tens of thousands of years.

Back in reality, in the bedroom, the invisible fluctuations slowly dissipated. Behind Ye Ming, Yae Sakura and Okita Souji, who had watched the entire memory, already had red eyes.

"This is our past," Fu Hua said softly. "Now, can you believe me?"

Okita Souji and Yae Sakura nodded repeatedly.

"Then, you should go back first. We can talk about anything tomorrow."

Yae Sakura and Okita Souji left, but Fu Hua stood behind Ye Ming, quietly looking at Ye Ming for a long time, and gently sighed.

She took Ye Ming's arm and carried Ye Ming on her back, just like she did for fifty thousand years.

The effect of the Feather of the Passing World was still ongoing, and Ye Ming was still fast asleep.

After picking up Ye Ming, Fu Hua glanced at Laffey, who was sleeping in the middle of the bed in a starfish position, hesitated slightly, and decided to carry Ye Ming to the adjacent second bedroom.

But just as she took two steps, Fu Hua felt a little strange.

It seemed like something strange was poking her from behind.

Unable to react for a moment, Fu Hua instinctively reached back to grab that thing.

Chapter 34: Questions and Denials

Ye Ming had a dream.

In his dream, he became a transmigrator, crossing over to a wasteland world filled with monsters, and rescued a young and inexperienced beautiful girl from the mouth of a monster.

Then, it was a story of a man and a woman relying on each other to survive in the apocalypse.
