Chapter 18 Himeko-sensei, it's been a long time!
Chen Feng's home is actually not far from Qianyu Academy.
It could even be described as the city center area.
After all, Bronya and Seele also live here, so the environment and location aren't bad.
His house was originally surrounded by a beautiful environment.
But now that the Honkai has arrived, everything has changed.
The rubble and dried bloodstains scattered on the ground all indicated that this was no longer the home it once was.
Chen Feng led the two of them carefully toward home.
He's not some novel protagonist with an invincible cheat code; every time he risks his life, he has to be as cautious as possible.
After passing through layers of ruins, the group finally arrived at the place where Chen Feng lived.
Chen Feng stood not far away, looking at the dilapidated house. Without the slightest hesitation, he strode forward and ran.
Bronya, you should have left here by now.
With this worry in mind, he arrived at the gate.
Without the slightest hesitation, he kicked the door open when he arrived at it.
The moment it was kicked open, the whole house shook slightly.
"Bronya!"
The moment Chen Feng stepped inside, his voice echoed throughout the entire house.
Upon hearing this, Bronya, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but tremble.
She turned her head sharply towards the gate and saw Chen Feng running towards her.
His clothes were very tattered, and his face was somewhat pale, clearly indicating that he had overcome many obstacles to get here.
Even so, he still came.
He really came.
Bronya sat on the sofa, somewhat dazed as she watched the figure running towards her.
She only came to her senses after her wrist was grabbed by the other person.
Bronya looked at everything that was happening before her eyes and smiled gently.
"I told you so, he'll come."
Bronya was pulled along by one hand as they ran outside, while she still held Homu in her other arm. Her gaze was fixed on his back as she watched him run away, and she murmured an "Mmm."
Yes, he's here.
When Chen Feng grabbed Bronya's wrist and rushed out the door, Mei and Kiana were waiting downstairs.
Seeing that Chen Feng had actually brought someone out, Mei breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Kiana tilted her head and sized up Bronya. She had silver hair, purple eyes, and was holding a Houmu doll in her arms. Her steps didn't falter at all when Chen Feng pulled her along.
"Is this the younger sister you were talking about?"
Kiana glanced at Bronya briefly, then looked up at Chen Feng.
"Um."
Chen Feng released Bronya's wrist, took a breath, and said, "Bronya, they are...?"
"Raiden Mei and Kiana Kaslana."
Bronya took over, her tone flat, "Bronya knows."
Kiana raised an eyebrow: "You know us?"
"I wouldn't say I know them, I just know of them."
Bronya didn't explain much, after all, these two were also her targets... one of her former targets.
She turned to look at Chen Feng, her gaze lingering for a moment on his tattered clothes and pale face before looking away.
"Let's go, it's not safe here now."
Kiana looked around and then spoke to the group.
Chen Feng nodded, checked the direction, and pointed out of the city: "Go out to the east, I remember there's a road over there..."
Before he could finish speaking, the ground suddenly shook.
Feeling the vibration, Chen Feng's expression changed slightly.
Something is approaching.
A half-collapsed building nearby suddenly collapsed, and a huge Honkai Beast burst out of the smoke and dust.
It was entirely black, with its carapace gleaming with a purple light, and its four thick legs made the ground tremble with every step.
It shook its head, and all six compound eyes turned in unison towards the direction where the group was.
"run!"
As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, the group immediately retreated.
However, their escape route was blocked by the collapsed houses caused by the tremors the moment the Honkai Beast appeared, leaving them with no choice but to turn back and face the colossal creature.
Kiana gritted her teeth and subconsciously took half a step forward, shielding Mei and Chen Feng behind her.
Bronya didn't speak, and the Heavy Bunny silently unfolded behind her, its cannons aimed at the Honkai Beast.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, a red figure descended from the sky.
The greatsword cleaved down, striking the Honkai Beast squarely in the head.
The enormous creature didn't even have time to let out a scream before its massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
Amidst the smoke and dust, a woman stood up, carrying a greatsword.
Her long red hair fluttered in the smoke and dust, and her black bodysuit accentuated her tall and voluptuous figure.
She always had a smile on her face.
"Himeko... teacher..."
The moment Himeko appeared, both Kiana and Bronya experienced a dramatic emotional shift.
Kiana suppressed the bitterness in her heart and then smiled at Himeko.
Teacher Himeko, it's been a long time.
I... have grown up and become the person you hoped I would be...
Himeko, unable to see the future of the two, glanced briefly at the Honkai Beast lying on the ground, and after confirming that it was completely dead, turned around to look at the group.
"It's really rare to see living people in Changkong City."
Her gaze slid from Kiana to Mei, then from Mei to Bronya, and finally landed on Chen Feng, pausing for a moment.
"Which of you is the Herrscher?"
The air froze instantly.
Kiana's expression changed, and she instinctively spread her arms to shield Chen Feng and Mei behind her.
Bronya didn't speak, but the cannon of the Heavy Bunny had already been slightly raised, aimed at the woman who had suddenly appeared.
Mei lowered her head, unable to help but clench Chen Feng's clothes tightly, her heart filled with intense struggle.
Chen Feng glanced at her, then took a step forward and stood in front of her.
Himeko raised an eyebrow and glanced at the group of people.
"What's there to be nervous about?"
She slammed her greatsword on the ground. "My orders from above are to capture the Third Herrscher alive, but I have other ideas."
She looked at Kiana, thought for a moment, and then asked.
"Your name is Kaslana, right?"
Kiana was taken aback: "How did you know?"
"Then there's no problem."
Himeko smiled, her tone as casual as if she were talking about the weather, "Don't ask so many questions, just come with me if you want to know."
"Where to?"
Kiana looked at Himeko warily.
St. Freya Academy.
Himeko shouldered her greatsword, turned and walked out of the city. After taking two steps, she stopped, glanced at them, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to capture you. That child is indeed a Herrscher, but there are no signs of Honkai energy going berserk on her, which means she can still control herself. Someone like that isn't worth wasting a bullet on."
She paused.
"Besides, don't you think it's better to have one more ally than one more enemy in this world?"
Mei looked up at the red figure from behind.
Kiana and Bronya exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.
Chen Feng remained silent for a moment, then stepped forward and followed.
Mei followed closely behind, followed by Kiana, who looked reluctant but did not refuse.
Bronya walked at the back, still holding Houmu in her arms, with the Heavy Bunny silently floating behind her, its cannon already retracted.
She glanced back at the collapsed houses behind her, then turned around and followed the group.
Bronya smiled gently beside her. Looking at the two figures walking ahead of her, she suddenly felt that this was really nice.
