Having obtained the legendary weapon, Crimson Glow was practically a Valkyrie descended to earth. Her entire body was bathed in golden light, with green rays swirling above her head. Her speed increased more than threefold, allowing her to charge straight at the fleeing Corpse Clan at a speed even faster than a Fallen Angel.
"Puff puff puff"
Absolutely amazing!
The inheritors were stunned, exclaiming in amazement at the Valkyrie's heroic figure bathed in crimson light.
Ran Hongxia is undoubtedly the number one player below the third tier. Equipped with the Shattered Dream Blade, she could absolutely defeat the combined attack of Li Mo and Wang Yang.
Now, she is the second-best expert in the two-city alliance, after Honda and Li Jiayu.
"Wasn't this silly girl seriously injured? Instead of resting properly, she disregarded her health and recklessly came to 'Provoke Spring'... No, wait, could her strength possibly unleash such powerful sword energy? Hmm? The knife in her hand... God, you can't be joking with me, can you? Ran Hongxia isn't wielding the Shattered Dream Blade, is she?"
Li Jiayu stared in disbelief, her goddess-like face bearing only one expression—pain.
Despite all his calculations, he never anticipated that... Ran Hongxia would actually take up that terrifying Dream Shattering Blade without permission.
Oh my god
Don't you know that the Shattered Dream Blade has an unstoppable curse?
"Wasn't she resting? How did she get out here?!" Honda also sensed the anomaly and came over to take a look. He noticed that Ran Hongxia, with her powerful green halo, was now powerful. Honda glanced at Li Jiayu and followed his gaze. What did Honda see? Damn it, despite all his precautions (drugging Ran Hongxia to put her to sleep during the war), this girl still managed to get her. Damn, did she have to be so ruthless!
Honda was certain her face was dark with anger, and she didn't want to think about these troublesome things! Honda turned back to slaughtering the zombies; she really didn't want to deal with this brat who had caused trouble for her aunt and mother anymore. How could you be so brainless!
When Li Jiayu showed a strange and excited expression, Honda left the spot, completely ignoring the two sworn enemies.
Because of Honda's domineering nature. The gorilla that should have died wasn't, and there was also that damned scheming octopus. If he could, Honda really wanted to quietly kill it. But thinking about it, he decided against it; first, he needed to consider whether he could actually kill it. If he did, the Goddess of Light would definitely not stand idly by. Moreover, Honda now wanted to quickly shave off the curse on his body. This was something that had almost caused the epic-level Li Jiayu to lose her virginity; it was extremely difficult to deal with.
After the war, Ran Hongxia reluctantly held the Shattered Dream Blade to Li Jiayu's face, seemingly indifferent:
"Here, this legendary weapon is back to you..."
"...If you like it, I'll give it to you..." Li Jiayu took a step back and said generously, not daring to look at the Shattered Dream Knife in Ran Hongxia's hand.
Honda clearly saw the complex emotions on Li Jiayu's face—fear mixed with a touch of joy.
As for Ran Hongxia, her most respected Aunt Xiao will soon be putting a little hat on her head, well, a green one...
"Hongxia, your future will surely be an epic and legendary experience..."
"Of course I've always been confident. Give me enough, and I will definitely become very strong, and then save my fellow countrymen suffering in the apocalypse..."
Seeing the two of them talking completely out of line, Honda could only silently wish them a speedy marriage.
With a sigh, Honda turned and left. Afterwards, she excused herself to recuperate, saying she needed to do some counting. Even without looking, she knew that nearly two hundred thousand people had died this time. Much fewer than the five hundred thousand in the original story, Honda had no interest in managing miscellaneous matters. She needed to search the treasure for something that could break the curse; the presence of the curse still made her feel uneasy.
As for Li Jiayu's flirting with his cousin's wife, and his ambiguous relationship with Liu Yinsha, none of that concerns Honda. Kiyohime is currently going to be asleep for a few months. Honda is overjoyed to have officially joined the pure-blooded dragon race. It's so good that he won't be attacked at night anytime soon!
After a day of rest, the troops quickly resumed their march. The second day of the new army brought the most challenging time. The common people's food supplies had completely run out, and even Xijiang University's food was dwindling. Although they could barely hold on, something happened that completely enraged Li Jiayu!
"Well, so what? Do you think we have too much food, so you think we should lose weight and donate all the food?" Li Jiayu shrugged, rolled her eyes at Ran Hongxia, and a cold sneer appeared on her face.
"Jiayu, please stop being so sarcastic... Go outside and see, many children haven't had proper food for two or three days, their bellies are all flat from hunger!" Ran Hongxia's eyes were a little red, clearly she had witnessed far too many tragic scenes of people suffering from hunger after going out just now, and this girl was particularly soft-hearted and particularly fond of helping others...
Honda watched from the sidelines, not interjecting during their argument. This wasn't a matter of right or wrong, but rather a matter of beliefs. Ran Hongxia represented the goodness of humanity, while Li Jiayu represented its darkness. Neither of them was wrong; the fault lay with the timing… ahem, the apocalyptic world. In this world where death could come at any moment, anyone could be buried underground. Humans must survive to evolve, and this comes at a price. This was, in a way, a test from the world for humanity; those who couldn't overcome it would face destruction.
Honda watched helplessly as the argument between the two grew increasingly heated, and finally, he watched as Ran Hongxia, angered by Li Jiayu's sharp tongue, ran away.
"Sister Honda, do you think I did something wrong?" Li Jiayu looked gently at Honda's face, hoping that Honda could give her an answer.
"There's no right or wrong in this matter itself. You wanted to protect those around you first. Whether to help others is based on your feelings. If you can help, that's your kindness. If you can't, it's just bad luck, and you can't blame others. In this vast world, you're not a creator god; you don't need to live with the expectations of others. Just be yourself, and be happy." Honda left these words and turned to leave the tent. She prepared to continue her cultivation and discussions; in this world, strength was everything.
"Thank you, Honda-neechan." Receiving this unexpected reply, Li Jiayu felt encouraged by Honda. She happily thanked Honda's retreating figure, not caring that Honda hadn't heard her.
