Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

"I'm sorry, Heita, I'm going to break my promise." After entering the house, Mu Feng said to Heita.

Heita blinked her big eyes. What does that mean? You're not taking me out? That's right, after all, I'm in trouble. She was just thinking about why Mu Feng always kept meddling in other people's business. After all, the research on human nature is also quite valuable. Mu Feng's behavior is in line with human nature, seeking benefits and avoiding harm.

"I'll take you away today. Even though you haven't had enough rest yet." Mu Feng said with a smile. The villagers did not welcome her, and now she had to deal with Qi Ming. If she delayed, things would get worse.

"Why?" Heita asked subconsciously. It was different from what he thought.

"Ah? Because I promised you to take you out. But we also agreed to give you three days to rest. However, it seems that something small happened. It doesn't matter, I will carry you out." Mu Feng said.

"That's not what I'm talking about. Why do you care about me?" Heita asked. She didn't really care about Mu Feng, but she was very interested in this inhumane topic, that's all.

"Ah? Oh, because you look a lot like my daughter." Mu Feng said with a smile, "I just found out that you seem to be an outstanding scientist. I should have something that you are interested in. I am a time traveler."

Mu Feng cleverly found the point that attracted Black Tower's interest. If she wanted to get closer to Black Tower, she could only use the bait that interested her.

Just as Mu Feng expected, Heita was immediately attracted by Mu Feng's topic. Travelers? This is much more interesting than Heita's sequence. Heita certainly didn't believe what Mu Feng said, but as a scientist, she would not give up any opportunity to explore the unknown.

Mu Feng carried the black tower on his back and prepared to leave the village.

Qi Ming at the door had been dragged over by the village doctor to be bandaged. The other people in the village looked at Mu Feng in panic, their eyes full of fear. The prestige that Mu Feng had accumulated before was wiped out, and now Mu Feng was just a violent maniac who helped the school tycoons.

For the villagers, who knows if their heads will be moved the next moment because of saying bad things about the Black Tower.

Mu Feng shook his head and prepared to go down the mountain with the black tower on his back.

Sometimes, it is not wrong to say that they are fools.

He knew that in order to get Heita to be quiet and talk to him, he had to attract her with the right topic. Otherwise, the conversation would be like "Huh? A low-IQ ape is talking to me?"

So, he was going to continue with the previous topic.

"I am a time traveler. I come from another world, which is just like here, with tall buildings..." Mu Feng said slowly, "There, I have a wife with purple eyes, and a lovely and sensible daughter, Mu Qingwan."

"How to prove it?" asked Heita.

"I don't know. If I say something you don't understand, will you believe it?" Mu Feng said with a smile, "Not far from my hometown, there is a mountain called Mount Tai, which is taller than tall buildings. The mountains here are just small dirt slopes in front of it."

"Go on." Heita blinked his big eyes.

"Well... there is a river not far away, called the Yellow River, yes, it's yellow. It's full of sand." Mu Feng said, "And there's more..."

The world described by Mu Feng is completely different from Heita’s cognition. If he had not experienced it personally, he must be a great novelist.

Heita put himself in the other person's shoes and thought that if time travel really existed, he himself would not be able to provide any substantial evidence.

Perhaps, it is not impossible that he just jumped from somewhere else in the universe. But no matter what, a person who can come to the Azure Planet for no apparent reason is a good research material.

"My daughter loved eating fish when she was little." Mu Feng started to talk about Mu Qingwan, "Once she choked while eating fish..."

Perhaps because he felt that Heita looked very similar to Mu Qingwan, Mu Feng talked about his daughter for an hour, but in the end, maybe it was just the longing of a father.

Heita listened quietly, and although most of the things she talked about were meaningless, she did not interrupt Mu Feng intentionally. These were things she had never touched before.

Family love... What exactly is family love like? Heita began to study this emotion from the bottom of his heart for the first time in a long time.

Mu Feng also felt that he had talked too much about his daughter and should talk more about topics that Heita was interested in.

"Have you heard of a nuclear bomb?" Mu Feng said with a smile.

"What is that?" Heita asked, tilting his head.

"It's a very powerful bomb that can create a mushroom cloud. Hehe, I only know the effect, and I roughly know the principle is nuclear fission or something." Mu Feng said.

"A star destroyer can penetrate a planet with one shot, so what's so great about a nuclear bomb..." Black Tower said speechlessly.

"Ah? There is such a thing?" Mu Feng shook his head. To be honest, he had only been in this world for a short time and did not have a deep understanding of the level of technology in this world.

After all, as a non-academic clique, you have no chance to access this scientific and technological knowledge.

"The company's technology. One day, I will develop weapons that are more powerful than that." Heita said.

Mu Feng and Heita talked a lot, but most of the time he was the one talking, and Heita echoed him. It had been a long time since he last met Mu Feng, and he felt very happy. This was also the first time he felt a sense of belonging in this world. If possible, he really hoped that this kind of life could continue.

Because of guilt, I feel out of tune with this world.

But unfortunately, Heita and he are from two different worlds.

One is destined to reach the top, the other is destined to be dust in the ground.

He couldn't keep Heita, and even now, he was not Heita's friend. He only regarded her as his daughter. Mu Feng was just a speck of mortal dust, a wisp of insignificant past in Heita's dazzling life.

It was late at night, Mu Feng put the black tower in the corner and made a bonfire.

There are still about two hours to get out of the mountain, but it is too dangerous to walk in the mountains at night, and Mu Feng also needs to take a break while carrying the black tower on his back.

More importantly, Mu Feng wanted to take one last good look at the black tower.

"Are you hungry? I'm sorry, I agreed to prepare more for dinner." Mu Feng said.

"Nothing." Heita shook his head.

Heita lowered her eyes and felt drowsy. After all, she was just a child and sleep occupied a considerable part of her life.

Soon, she fell asleep without any defense. Of course, she was equipped with a self-defense system, which would punish the target of violence once it detected danger.

In order to make Heita sleep more comfortably, Mu Feng held Heita in his arms. Well, Mu Feng knew very well that he was just looking for an excuse to stay with Heita for a while longer. It was his greed that was at work.

The self-defense system did not sense Mu Feng's malicious intentions, so it did not take any sanctions.

"When we were little, you were like this too, asking me to play with you." Mu Feng lowered his head and said hoarsely, tears streaming from the gaps between his eyes, "I'm sorry... it's Daddy's fault... I'm sorry... there's no chance..."

In this way, Mu Feng held the black tower all night.

In the early morning, as the sun slowly rises.

Heita opened his eyes slowly and on time, as punctual as a machine, and found himself lying in Mu Feng's arms.

She left Mu Feng expressionlessly and dusted herself off, while Mu Feng was still sleeping like a dead pig.

Heita deliberately did not wake Mu Feng up. She had never felt the love of a family, and did not understand the sincere feelings between him and his daughter that Mu Feng talked about. She could only understand vaguely that he seemed to think of her as his daughter.

Heita didn't feel disgusted. She wouldn't feel anything because of such trivial matters. In fact, she wouldn't feel anything even if she was about to die in a plane crash.

For some reason, Black Tower inexplicably sensed an inexplicable feeling on Mu Feng. That feeling was extremely vague, and it was an emotion that Black Tower had never experienced before.

After carefully studying this rare emotional creation with a research mindset, she found it hard to forget. Even a genius like her didn't know why.

Maybe my parents have never cared about me.

Maybe the people in my family just see me as a tool for academic research.

The communication with myself is limited to knowledge, without any emotion. So, is this what emotion is?

When the sunlight hit Mu Feng's face, he slowly opened his eyes. In his sleepy state, he seemed to see Mu Qingwan standing in front of him.

"You...are so beautiful." Mu Feng said in confusion.

"Thank you, I know I'm very good-looking." Heita said, putting his hands on his hips.

Mu Feng came to his senses and realized that he had recognized the wrong person. He stood up awkwardly, carried the black tower on his back and prepared to go down the mountain.

Next, the whole journey was silent.

Actually, I have basically said everything that needs to be said.

There is a small city not far away from the mountain, where Heita will definitely be able to contact the members of the Hei family.

"Black Tower, do you know what is farther away than death?" Mu Feng asked before leaving.

Heita didn't understand what Mu Feng was asking. Using the city's signal, Heita simply called his family. The family members immediately learned the good news that Heita was still alive and knew where Heita was.

Heita thinks he knows everything and is the wisest person in the entire Azure Star, but he cannot understand what Mu Feng wants to ask.

"What is more distant than death is eternal farewell. So, farewell, Black Tower." Mu Feng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Thank you too, Black Tower."

"I don't know what you're thanking me for, but you're welcome," Heita said, his expression unchanged.
