With Honda's departure, the battle on the battlefield had ended.
Xiao Wanqing and Li Jiayu began the aftermath, some digging for insect crystals, others burying bodies.
After everything quieted down, all that remained were the cries of sorrow for fallen comrades or the painful wails of those who had lost family.
Even if Honda was strong, she had no better way to protect hundreds of thousands of people.
But far fewer people died than in the original story; except for the military, who were on the front lines and suffered heavy casualties, civilian experts only suffered minor losses.
Overall, it was still within an acceptable range!
At this time, Regiment Commander Li of the military was very regretful that the Inheritors from Xijiang University had not heeded his invitation.
His original intention was to recruit Honda from Xijiang University!
However, he encountered Li Jiayu, a stubborn nail, and was choked speechless by Li Jiayu's sharp tongue!
Back in the tent, Li Jiayu suffered a severe backlash.
What was both funny and frustrating was that Ran Hongxia, at this moment, was instigated by the octopus to enter Li Jiayu's tent.
Honda didn't want to get involved in their affairs; she now had a big problem!
"Can't you rest in your own space? And resting in your space is definitely much better than outside!" Honda said, looking at Kiyohime, who was hugging her right hand, a yandere... cough.
"Lord Honda, do you dislike me?" Kiyohime's face showed a pitiful expression like a discarded small animal, but Honda, who knew her true nature, felt nothing inside.
She even wanted to laugh, 'How dare you pretend to be pitiful in front of me!'
"Nai! Kiyohime!" Honda used her index finger to lift Kiyohime's chin, making her eyes meet her own!
This was a flirting technique Alaya used when Zeus was XX by Alaya for three days.
Honda was now applying it skillfully to the yandere, and it was perfectly suited!
The way to deal with a yandere is to be more domineering than her, but that dominance must contain a hint of tenderness!
Only then can you awaken the yandere's maiden heart and teach her what shyness is!
"Lo... Lo... Lord Honda... Lord Honda!" Sure enough, little Kiyohime started to panic!
Her face was completely red and very cute.
"Can I rest by my self properly ?" Ignoring the shy Kiyohime, Honda leaned down.
Next to Kiyohime's cute ear, she spoke each word ambiguously!
The warm breath on Kiyohime's sensitive ear made the blood rush to her cheeks.
Her fair ears had a cute blush!
Now Kiyohime was already a bit disoriented.
When she came to, she found herself back in the Mount Space!
But thinking of the domineering Honda, Kiyohime happily hugged her cheeks and rolled around on the ground!
"Phew~~~ Finally, she's gone." Honda lay in her sleeping bag, thinking silently.
Kiyohime being by Honda's side kept Honda's sixth sense constantly on alert.
This greatly affected her rest, so Honda still preferred to stay in her space alone; it was much better!
If she also had a computer with wireless internet and electricity, Honda could say she wouldn't leave her room for two hundred years!
Eating?
Honda could now abstain from food, but if there was good food, then Honda would not refuse!
The sky quickly brightened.
The top combat personnel of Xijiang University had already digested all twenty second-tier insect crystals, and their abilities had improved significantly.
The fastest progress, besides Yan Zisu and Yang Xuyan, was Ling Shaoping; he was only a tiny bit away from the second-tier mid-stage.
Given him three or four more days, he would probably break through successfully.
As for Honda, she only took two Blue-Eyed Giant Ant insect crystals; after all, everyone knew the effort she put in, and no one dared to object!
When no one was paying attention, Honda directly threw the two insect crystals into the Mount Space.
Kiyohime's bloodline evolution could not do without energy, and at Honda's current stage, she didn't have a great need for such small energies.
She needed fourth-tier or lord-level insect crystal energy!
So Honda directly gave them to Kiyohime.
Last night, Kiyohime gave Honda the Philosopher's Stone that she couldn't digest.
Goodness, it was as big as Honda's head!
It seemed this harvest was indeed significant.
Honda directly fused it with her Three-Pointed Double-Edged Dragonfly Cutter, which would probably accelerate the fusion speed of both!
Next, the great escape continued, and from the morning, a piece of news came from the army that greatly concerned both Honda and Li Jiayu.
There were traces of a two to three hundred-meter-long centipede!
It seemed to be the Holy Armor Centipede King!
Honda touched the purple-gold gourd tied to her waist; it seemed the Wine God's wine bait had been found.
In the afternoon, the high-ranking personnel of Nanhai Martial Arts School proposed an alliance to Xiao Wanqing.
Honda did not participate!
Using cultivation as an excuse, she directly avoided Xiao Wanqing's loving gaze.
In the evening, Xijiang University set up camp directly in a wheat field, and now the horn of infighting within the army was about to sound.
Those powerless rulers, in this world where strength is respected, simply couldn't hold power for long!
However, this had nothing to do with Honda; now, Xijiang University was also slowly encountering some crucially important problems!
No more food?
Not completely gone, but at this rate of consumption, they would run out in two days.
So the Inheritors of Xijiang University began to go out hunting.
If this situation occurred at the well-prepared Xijiang University, then the civilian population was probably even worse off!
However, this wasn't the most serious issue; the news brought back by the hunters greatly surprised Li Jiayu!
Dozens of withered corpses.
Li Jiayu immediately went to examine the bodies and found that they were likely the work of a Blood Demon, which cast a shadow over his heart.
He even stopped his daily routine of teasing Ran Hongxia.
Honda hesitated internally, wondering whether to capture the little loli first or let her roam free for a few days.
Finally, Honda decided to let her run wild for a few days!
She would wait until this fellow teamed up with that loli-con named Luo-something before eliminating this group of trash!
Thinking of this, Honda greeted Xiao Wanqing and said she was going to cultivate.
PS: To the friend who asked if Tian Ya is an Immortal Sword, I'm here to clear up your confusion!
Tian Ya, also known as "Tian Ya Divine Sword," is the magical artifact of Lu Xueqi, the female protagonist of Xiao Ding's xianxia novel, "Zhu Xian."
The sword scabbard and hilt are entirely sky-blue, with a bright luster and faint ripples of light, making it a divine weapon of the Nine Heavens and a treasure of the immortals.
Forged from Nine Heavens Exotic Iron into an immortal sword, when Tian Ya is unsheathed, blue light flows, and sword qi soars, overturning heaven and earth.
The sword scabbard and hilt are entirely sky-blue, with a bright luster and faint ripples of light; the auspicious righteousness it inherently contains can resolve the strange black qi from the backlash of the Zhuxian Sword.
"The Ten Chapters of Exotic Treasures" records that Tian Ya first appeared in the hands of a rogue immortal, Master Kusin.
Legend has it that this magical artifact was forged from Nine Heavens Exotic Iron that fell into the mortal world, which Master Kusin obtained by chance in the Arctic ice plain and cultivated it.
