Honkai Impact 3rd

In the morning, Qi Ming was awakened by a loud noise. He slowly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him immediately made Qi Ming lose all his sleepiness.

I saw several big men appearing in the house and preparing to take Bella away by force. Xilin was about to step forward to stop them but was kicked aside.

Seeing this, Qi Ming was about to condense a blood knife in his hand, but found that he still couldn't use his ability, so he could only go up with bare hands.

But the big man was not a pushover. When he saw Qi Ming rushing towards him, he threw Bella aside and tilted his body slightly, easily dodging Qi Ming's punch.

Before Qi Ming could stop, the big man seized the opportunity and hit Qi Ming's head with his elbow.

The image in Qi Ming's eyes turned black in an instant. After seeing Qi Ming fainted, the big man picked up Bella from the ground, opened the iron door and walked out.

"Bella!"

Xilin, lying on the ground, watched Bella being taken away by the big man. The emotions that she had been holding back for a long time were ready to explode at any time.

Qi Ming, who was standing by, felt that the amount of Honkai energy in the air was gradually increasing.

Regardless of the pain in his body, he stood up and hugged Xilin, who was full of fear.

"Xilin, don't be afraid, I'm always here"

Shrouded in fear, Xilin heard Qi Ming's voice, raised her head, and saw Qi Ming's gentle smile.

Suddenly, the fear in Xilin's heart seemed to be dispelled, and she felt extremely relieved.

Seeing Xilin in his arms gradually calm down, Qi Ming felt that the amount of Honkai energy in the air was also decreasing.

Just when Qi Ming breathed a sigh of relief, Xilin in his arms suddenly said

"Um...can you let me go?"

"Oh, okay, okay."

Qi Ming was so focused on calming Xilin that he forgot about the taboos between men and women. Moreover, he just...

"What's your name?"

Qi Ming, who was daydreaming, heard Xilin's voice and turned his head and said

"My name is Qi Ming, Qi means to gather together, Ming means to remember"

"Qi Ming...Qi Ming...Qi Ming..."

Seeing Xilin lowering her head and mumbling continuously, Qi Ming suddenly felt that Xilin might have become stupid because of the shock of what happened just now.

"I remember it, Qi Ming, right?"

Xilin's sudden loud voice startled Qi Ming, but after hearing what Xilin said, he replied

"That's right, you must remember when the time comes, don't forget me"

"No, Xilin will definitely not forget Qi Ming"

"Which one...why don't you call me Brother Qi Ming? Otherwise, I always feel a little weird."

"Qi Ming...brother..."

Xilin, who called Qi Ming "brother" for the first time, was obviously not used to it yet, but Qi Ming didn't care. After all, he would not be so shy after calling him that.

Just when Qi Ming wanted to touch Xilin's head, the iron gate was opened again. Several big men appeared at the door, threw Bella in, and then closed the door again.

Seeing Bella on the ground on the verge of death, Qi Ming hurried to Bella's side, grabbed her wrist and was about to absorb the Honkai energy in her body, but suddenly, Xilin's hand blocked Qi Ming's next move.

"Xilin, what's wrong?"

Seeing Qi Ming's strange behavior, Qi Ming felt extremely puzzled, but after Xilin heard what Qi Ming said, she loosened her hand that was blocking Qi Ming.

Seeing Xilin let go of his hand, Qi Ming did not hesitate and turned his hand back to Bella and said softly

"absorb"

As Qi Ming finished speaking, the Honkai energy in Bella's body seemed to have found an outlet. However, this time Qi Ming could clearly feel that the Honkai energy in Bella's body was more concentrated than last time, so it was a little more difficult to absorb than last time.

But these are just minor issues, and at most they will take more time than last time.

Xilin looked at the sweat on Qi Ming's forehead and became a little worried for a moment, afraid that Qi Ming would suddenly faint like last time.

"Huh, I finally absorbed it all."

After two and a half minutes of hard work, Master Qi finally absorbed all the Honkai energy in Bella's body. When Qi Ming was about to take a break, he saw Xilin looking at him with a worried look on her face. Qi Ming instantly knew what Xilin was worried about, so he reached out and stroked Xilin's hair and said,

"Don't worry, it was just an accident last time, there will definitely be no accidents this time."

Hearing this, Xilin nodded to indicate that she understood, but Qi Ming knew that the little guy was still worried about him.

Seeing Xilin being so honest, Qi Ming didn't know what to say, so he could only take out a candy from his pocket and hand it to Xilin.

However, after receiving the candy, Xilin did not eat it immediately, but passed it to Bella beside her.

"Hey, is this for me?"

Bella was very surprised to see the candy that Xilin handed over. She didn't know whether to take it or not.

"Okay, this is the candy Xilin gave you, just accept it with confidence."

Qi Ming saw through Bella's mind, so he took the candy from Xilin's hand and stuffed it into Bella's hand.

“Brother Qi Ming…Sister Xilin, you guys…wua ...

"What's going on, Celine, doesn't Bella like candy?"

"I don't know about that. I remember Bella seemed to like sweet food before."

Looking at Bella crying loudly in front of them, the two were confused for a moment.

But Bella didn't cry for long. After a few minutes, she stopped crying and said to the two of them with sobs.

"I... I'm not crying. I just think that Sister Xilin and Brother Qi Ming are so kind to Bella. This is the first time Bella has felt such warmth."

“What a fool”

Looking at Bella who was constantly wiping away tears, Qi Ming couldn't tell for a moment whether this was a bubble world or the real world where the second collapse occurred.

If this is a world bubble, does it mean that they will be destroyed one day because the energy in the world bubble is exhausted, and Xilin and Bella will also die with the destruction of the world bubble?

Thinking of this, Qi Ming couldn't help but want to take Xilin and Bella out, or at least use his own energy to maintain the energy needed for this world bubble.

"Brother Qi Ming, give it to me."

When Qi Ming was thinking about how to take Xilin and Bella out, Bella's voice reached Qi Ming's ears.

When he looked up, he saw Bella holding a piece of clean bread and placing it in front of him. Just when Qi Ming was puzzled, Bella explained:

"Brother Qi Ming, this is what Bella secretly hid. She has never been willing to eat it, so Bella left the best thing for Brother Qi Ming!"

"Really? Then I'm welcome."

Seeing Bella's expectant eyes, Qi Ming took the bread from Bella and ate it bite by bite under Bella's gaze.
