Ran Hongxia, having obtained the legendary weapon, was like a Valkyrie descended, her whole body shining with golden light, green light swirling above her head, her speed more than tripled, rushing towards the fleeing corpse race at a speed faster than even a Fallen Angel.
"Puff puff puff"
It was simply amazing.
The inheritors were stunned, all exclaiming at Ran Hongxia's Valkyrie-like heroic posture.
Ran Hongxia was undoubtedly the number one person below Tier 3. Equipped with Dream Shattering Blade, she could definitely defeat the combined attack of Li Mo and Wang Yang.
Now, she was the super expert in the two-city alliance, second only to Honda and Li Jiayu.
"Didn't this silly girl suffer serious injuries? Instead of resting well, she's disregarding her body and bravely coming out to spread justice—no, no, that's not right. How could her strength emit such powerful sword energy? Huh? The blade in her hand... God, please don't joke with me, Ran Hongxia isn't holding Dream Shattering Blade, is she?"
Li Jiayu was dumbfounded, only one expression on his goddess-like beautiful face—a pained look.
He had calculated everything, but he never calculated... that Ran Hongxia would actually pick up that terrifying Dream Shattering Blade on her own.
Oh my God!
Don't you know Dream Shattering Blade has an unstoppable curse?!
"Isn't she resting? How did she come out!~" Honda also sensed the anomaly here and came over to take a look. Discovering Ran Hongxia with a green halo above her head was very powerful, Honda looked at Li Jiayu, following the direction he was looking. What did Honda see? Damn it, all her precautions (drugging Ran Hongxia to make her sleep through this war) were in vain, and this girl still got her hands on it. Fuck, does it have to be so ruthless!
Honda believed her face must have been black, not wanting to deal with these annoying matters! Honda turned around and continued to slaughter the corpse race. She really didn't want to bother with this troublesome child who was messing with her aunt and mother. How could you be so brainless!
When Li Jiayu showed a strangely excited expression, Honda left the spot, no longer wanting to deal with this pair of troublesome individuals.
Because of Honda's strength, the King Kong Gorilla, who should have died, did not die, and neither did that damn scheming octopus. If she could, Honda really wanted to secretly kill it. But on second thought, she decided against it. First, whether she could kill it. After killing it, the Goddess of Light would definitely not stand by. Moreover, Honda now wanted to quickly remove the curse on her body. This was something that almost made the epic-level Li Jiayu lose himself, and it was very difficult to deal with.
After the war ended, Ran Hongxia reluctantly pushed Dream Shattering Blade towards Li Jiayu, feigning indifference:
"Here, I'm returning this legendary weapon to you..."
"...If you like it, I'll just give it to you..." Li Jiayu took a small step back and said generously, not daring to even look at Dream Shattering Blade in Ran Hongxia's hand.
Honda clearly saw the complex expression on Li Jiayu's face, both fear and a hint of joy.
As for Ran Hongxia, her most respected Aunt Xiao would soon give her a small hat, yes, a green one... "Hongxia, your future will definitely be an epic legendary experience..."
"Of course, I've always been very confident. Give me enough, and I will definitely become very powerful, and then rescue our suffering compatriots in the apocalypse..."
Watching the two completely mismatched people, Honda could only silently wish them a quick happy ending.
Sighing, Honda turned and left. Afterwards, Honda left under the pretext of recuperating, leaving the inventory and other matters. Even if she didn't go to see, she knew that nearly 200,000 people had died this time. This was much less than the 500,000 in the original work. Honda had no mind to manage miscellaneous tasks. She now wanted to search through the treasures for something that could remove the curse. Having the curse suppressed still made her feel somewhat insecure.
As for Li Jiayu's flirting with his Older Male Cousin's Wife and his ambiguity with Liu Yinsha, these had nothing to do with Honda. Kiyohime was going to sleep for several months, officially entering the purebred dragon race, which made Honda very happy. It was great not to be attacked at night recently!
After resting for a day, the team quickly continued their march. On the second day of the new march, the most trying time for people arrived. The common people's food supply was completely cut off, and Xijiang University's food was also running low. Although they could barely last, an incident occurred that thoroughly enraged Li Jiayu!
"Hmm, so what? Are you implying that we have too much food, so you think we should lose some weight and selflessly donate all our food?" Li Jiayu spread his hands, rolled his eyes at Ran Hongxia, a hint of cold mockery appearing on his face.
"Jiayu, please don't be so sarcastic, okay? Go outside and look, so many children haven't eaten a normal meal in two or three days, their bellies are all flat with hunger!" Ran Hongxia's eyes were a little red. Clearly, after she went out just now, she had witnessed too many tragic situations of people tormented by hunger, and this girl was particularly soft-hearted and loved to help others... Honda watched from the side, not interjecting in their argument. This matter wasn't about who was right or wrong, but about beliefs. Ran Hongxia represented the beauty of human nature, while Li Jiayu represented the darkness of human nature. Neither of them was wrong; the fault lay in this era... cough cough the apocalyptic world. In this world where death could strike at any moment, anyone could be buried underground. Humans must survive to evolve, and this requires a price. This could also be considered a test of this world for the human species; if they couldn't endure it, they could only be destroyed.
Honda watched as the two argued more and more fiercely, and finally, Honda helplessly watched Ran Hongxia, who was driven out by Li Jiayu's venomous tongue.
"Honda Sister, do you think I did something wrong?" Li Jiayu looked at Honda's face softly, hoping Honda could give him an answer.
"There's no right or wrong in this matter itself. You wish to protect those around you first, and then decide whether to help others based on your feelings. To lend a hand is your benevolence. If you can't help, it just means they're unlucky and can't blame anyone else. In a world, no matter how vast, you are not the Creator God; you don't need to live burdened by the expectations of others. You are you, and as long as you are happy, that's all that matters." Honda left these words and turned to walk out of the tent.
She was preparing to continue cultivating and discussing the Dao; in this world, strength was everything.
"Thank you, Sister Honda," Li Jiayu said, feeling encouraged by Honda's unexpected answer.
Happily, she thanked Honda's retreating figure, not caring if Honda heard her or not.
