The Extra Story: The Adventures of Hero Hua Xin 2

"Tomorrow we'll be using Teleportation Magic Array to reach the heart of the Demon Realm."

Hua Xin said in a deep voice, still wearing the armor she had worn when she left the palace. She had just taken off her helmet and placed it aside. She was slowly turning the sizzling meat in her hands to prevent it from being burned by the raging flames.

The man beside her, still wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was also fiddling with the roasted meat in his hands, while his Magic Staff, which he never let go of, was casually placed aside and no longer held in his hand.

"Yes."

"The Demon Realm, the territory of that ruthless demon king."

Looking at the raging flames in his line of sight, Dong Miao's expression, like Hua Xin's, became somewhat solemn and serious, completely unlike his previous refined and easygoing demeanor.

It's clear that the surroundings are very safe; otherwise, the two, who are usually extremely careful about their weapons, wouldn't be chatting and grilling meat so casually.

At this time, their assassination squad, tasked with defeating the Demon King, was near the border of the Allied Forces. This area was a place where Allied Forces composed of various races was stationed year-round to guard against a large-scale attack by the Demon King's Army. Moreover, it was a short but not too long distance from the so-called Demon Realm, making it arguably the safest place.

Although the group of brave hero Hua Xin only numbered a dozen or so, even if they crossed the border directly to the Demon Realm, they might not be discovered...

But obviously this time we need to be fast. We need to reach the Demon Realm Demon King's Palace, and carry out the decapitation of the Demon King with lightning speed, so as to restore peace to the Hachimid Continent for the next few decades or even hundreds of years!

At the same time, this is also the greatest wish of the brave Hua Xin.

Otherwise...

Wouldn't this sudden awakening of magical ability be a complete waste?!

She was already close to awakening her abilities and had resolved to Saintly Body to become a top powerhouse on the continent, so why did she suddenly awaken this ridiculous magical talent?!

Although the Magic Power that came with it further enhanced her physical strength and combat power, Hua Xin still wished she had never awakened this magical talent.

He'd been a perfectly normal man for almost twenty years, about to find an opportunity to marry a rich, beautiful woman, a royal princess, or a socialite, and live a life of comfort and ease for the rest of his days. How did he end up becoming a woman because of this weird magical talent?

She'd already found a villa, just waiting to pull off this heist and then sell all the rewards and medals the emperor had bestowed upon her to the nobleman Run. She planned to go to the Elf Tribe border, find a seaside spot, and live a carefree life with her dozen or so wives, maybe even fathering a whole football team's worth of children. How could she have played such a cruel joke, like eating instant noodles without the seasoning packet?!

Asshole...

There is no precedent for such a thing in the entire history books of the Hachimid Continent. Isn't this obviously a setting that someone deliberately created to target her?

But it seems there's nothing she can do to resist this.

After all, she couldn't defeat the so-called gods and the greatest author. Since the heavens had chosen to let her awaken her magical talent and also grant her the power of the Hero's Mark, defeating the Demon King became her final mission.

World peace is no joke. Having grown up on the Hachimid Continent, she had naturally witnessed news of wars large and small, each bringing only pain and disaster to the people, not to mention the ruthless army of the Demon King's Army.

As a heroine, she must defeat the Demon King.

As he watched as solid black flames slowly emerged from the girl in front of him, Dong Miao silently stepped back, moving slightly away from the girl and the fire beside him.

He has never forgotten his "current" identity.

He's just a weak mage who can use Blessing Technique, which means he can buff his teammates. He doesn't need to go to the front lines to fight the enemy; he just needs to stay in the back and cast spells to cast buffs.

Faced with such a powerful hero, all he could do was be a good male best friend... no, a dutiful mage who would add buffs from behind.

"This is the last time we fight side by side, Brother Dong."

Hua Xin snapped out of her daze, picked up the Thirteen Spices seasoning she had prepared and sprinkled it on the roasted meat. Then, with a touch of emotion, she took a bite of the completely burnt meat, completely ignoring the strange taste in her mouth. As if she were used to it, she quickly finished the Hachimi- style Thirteen Spices roasted meat without any difficulty. Instead, she looked at Dong Miao with unusual emotion and said softly.

Dong Miao twitched her lips silently for a moment, but still agreed without changing her expression, a hint of nostalgia appearing on her face.

However, although it was somewhat of an act, there were no obvious traces on the surface.

This is a veteran actor. jpg

"Yes, Lord Hero, we've been fighting side by side for a whole year now without even realizing it."

His tone was still so gentle and light, like the boy next door that old people love.

Dong Miao paused for a moment, then continued sincerely, "Throughout this past year, I am deeply grateful for the care and guidance of the Lord Hero."

"Otherwise, how could I be qualified to participate in the great cause of punishing that heinous and disgusting scoundrel who has disrupted the peace of the entire continent?"

"Don't say that about Dong Miao..."

"You are an exceptionally talented mage. If it weren't for your abilities, we might not have survived to participate in this mission to defeat the Demon King. We would probably be lying scattered among the gravestones by now."

Hua Xin's movements were a bit exaggerated; she reached out her arm, which was covered in armor made of special metal, and gently patted Dong Miao's shoulder.

Dong Miao silently took two deeper breaths.

Floral scent.

"You flatter me..."

"Lord Hero..."

With a deeply moved expression, Dong Miao placed her hand on Hua Xin's.

Hissing sounds echoed as Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, perceived that the five aggregates are all empty, thus transcending all suffering. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, form is me...

Slip.

Ice.

Tender.

Small.

Cool.

The first impression flashed through his mind the moment they met, but his face still wore a smile of gratitude and loyalty, without the slightest flaw or pretense, as if it were truly from the bottom of his heart.

But an extremely subtle Magic Power silently lurked on the back of Hua Xin's hand.

"Hey, we're all brothers here, why say so much? We're all good brothers who've been through thick and thin together. After this assassination mission is over, I'll introduce you to two princesses and rich girls so you can live a life of ease from now on."

"It's such a waste that someone so handsome doesn't have a girlfriend..."

Although she has become a woman, the bold and unrestrained habits she had when she was a man have not disappeared.

Even though her personality changed drastically over the course of the year and she was no longer as cheerful as before, and even though she only had a few people left to talk to, she never changed her feelings for Dong Miao, this gentle guy.

Hua Xin and Dong Miao exchanged a few more jokes before Hua Xin extinguished the campfire and returned to her tent.

Dong Miao watched Hua Xin walk away faithfully until her figure disappeared into the night, only then did his expression return to calm. His dark pupils offered no clue to his thoughts.

This place is perfectly safe; there's obviously no need for someone to keep watch at night.

The tents were fully equipped, with almost everything one could need.

Back in his tent, Dong Miao lay on his bed, turned off the lights, closed his eyes, and silently began to channel his magical energy.

At the same time.

In Hua Xin's tent, even the bravest warrior, who could usually monitor every rustle of wind, would feel a sense of relaxation when he finally wanted to take a bath and rest.

As they were removing their armor and clothes, a black magic ball slowly rose from the back of their hand, which was removing the armor from its back. It then instantly condensed into an eyeball resembling a surveillance camera, floating in the shadowy corner of the roof.

The ground was piled high with pieces of clothing, followed by the sound of water overflowing and splashing onto the ground.

"Comfortable..."

Hua Xin sighed with relief.

However, Dong Miao, who was lying in bed with his eyes fixed on the live broadcast, paused the video and watched the frame of Hua Xin's body repeatedly.

"Holy crap..."

"So big?!"

Dong Miao's little hands moved slightly in shock as a drop of scarlet blood slowly slid from her nostrils.
