Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

In front of Cheng Lixue was a towering mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, which added a bit of fairy air to the mountain. In front of her was a path made of stone steps, and if she walked up along this path, she would be able to reach the top of the mountain. She was very familiar with this place, it was Taixu Mountain.

(The little song of Taixu Mountain plays)

She walked up the stone steps step by step, enjoying the fresh mountain air. The cool breeze blew slowly, blowing her hair slightly, and the bright but not glaring sunlight made her feel very comfortable.

Cheng Lixue did not slow down her pace because of the comfortable environment. She walked while reminiscing about the past. She remembered that when she was 5 years old, her teacher Fu Hua held her hand and led her up to Taixu Mountain along this road.

After walking for a few hours, she saw the quaint little house where she had lived for many years. Her master taught her to read and write here. She looked at the table to the west, and two figures, one big and one small, seemed to reappear before her eyes.

"In the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."

"The sky is dark and the earth is yellow, the universe is vast and boundless, the sun and the moon wax and wane, and the stars are spread out in the morning."

From Three Character Classic to Thousand Character Classic, and many other Chinese classics, my master would sit on a chair behind the desk and read to me over and over again. I would sit on her lap, and I would repeat after her as she read.

Cheng Lixue remembered that she was like other children of her age at that time, always full of curiosity. Every time she learned a word, she would pester her to ask about its meaning, and she was always very patient in satisfying her curiosity.

"Sister, sister, what does this xia mean?" She remembered that her master did not answer this question at that time, but said that learning should be gradual and she should ask her again when she understood more.

Three years later, they went down the mountain for the first time and encountered robbers. However, the dozens of robbers did not realize that the moment they appeared, they were surrounded by Fu Hua alone.

Fu Hua asked the eight-year-old Cheng Lixue to close her eyes. After a while, they were the only two left standing. This was the first time that Cheng Lixue developed a veneration for the strong.

"Sister, such a powerful move, will you teach me in the future? I want to be as powerful as you."

"After you become powerful, what are you going to do?"

"I've become stronger. Even if I'm alone, I won't be bullied by those people just now."

Fu Hua picked up a branch and motioned Cheng Lixue to follow her. The two came to a soft patch of land. Fu Hua squatted down and wrote a word on the soil, "Xia".

Cheng Lixue looks like a "hero", but seems a little different.

"Lixue, do you remember that you asked me what the word xia meant three years ago? This word is how xia was written in the past."

Fu Hua pointed the branch at the character: "The single person on the left represents the behavior of a person, while the one on the right represents a big person with two small people. The strong person helps the weak person. This is a hero."

Fu Hua looked at Cheng Lixue, who looked as if she was thinking about something.

"Lixue, there is nothing wrong with wanting to become stronger, but it is more important to think clearly about what you will do after becoming stronger. Your talent is much higher than that of ordinary people. I will not force you to do anything, but if one day you become stronger than many people, I hope you can also use your strength to protect those who are weaker than you, and don't be like these robbers, hurting others for selfish desires."

Protecting those who are weaker than herself is the important reason why Cheng Lixue later took the initiative to join Tianming and become a Valkyrie. She understood that her master taught her to read and write, and also taught her the principles of being a human being.

"Even if I asked you casually, you would write it down and guide me at the right time. But why did you leave me in the first place?"

On the second day after they officially established their master-disciple relationship, Fu Hua disappeared, and she was not seen again until she became the Valkyrie of Destiny. Fu Hua, who would patiently explain any of her questions, was sad only about this matter and kept silent.

Cheng Lixue understood that this was her heart knot, and it was also the reason why her Taixu sword energy could never break through Wuchen. But the more she controlled herself not to think about it, the more desperately it drilled into her mind. In serious cases, even the state of mind that maintained the Zhishui realm would be affected.

Cheng Lixue left the room with mixed feelings and came to the back room. She remembered that this was a place similar to a kitchen. Every year on her birthday, her master would make her a bowl of steaming wonton noodles here.

Seeing the things reminded her of her, Cheng Lixue fell into memories again. She recalled the scene of making wonton noodles for the first time after she left him.

Put flour in a bowl, beat in an egg, and then slowly add water and knead.

She kneaded the dough meticulously. She knew that doing this well was not much easier than mastering a skill.

The flour scattered and gathered in her hands... In the process of bonding and adjusting again and again, it seemed to have its own consciousness and gathered into a smooth and elastic dough.

Next, the noodles are rolled, cut, and pulled, leaving some for wontons. They are then put into the soup made from bighead carp and river shrimp, and taken out after cooking. Two bowls of fragrant wonton noodles are ready.

She carefully picked up a handful, blew on it to cool it down, and took a bite with the wonton. Her throbbing taste buds told her that her first try was a success.

She brought two bowls of wonton noodles to her residence, ate one bowl, packed up, and left.

But when she came back in the evening, the wonton noodles, which had already gone cold, were still there.

Cheng Men Li Xue, this is the origin of her name. Although she doesn't like waiting, she is forced to get used to waiting.

But this time, when she looked at the bowl of cold wonton noodles, she realized that the person she was waiting for would never come back.

"Time flies. I didn't expect that even the first time my master left me was such a long time ago." Cheng Lixue walked out of the house, stood on the top of Taixu Mountain, looked at the beautiful scenery below, and smiled bitterly.

How nice it would be if time could stay at that time forever. Now, even if I am in this dream, all I can do is think of the people when I see the objects and feel the emotions when I see the scenes.

"I didn't expect that you wanted to see an object, not a person." A crack appeared in the space next to Cheng Lixue, and Enosiya walked out. I don't know if it's because of their own special features, but she and Lao Yang can watch other people's dreams in the narrow gap between reality and dreams like watching a live broadcast, and can also interfere to a certain extent.

She originally wanted to save trouble and directly replicate the previous method, but the result was very ineffective, as if it had noticed her. So she decisively changed her strategy and stopped eroding the entire world. Instead, she concentrated her power on one point and chiseled a hole in Cheng Lixue's dream to pull her out.

"Who do you think I should dream about?"

"Your master is Fu Hua. Because of my power, I can know not only the information recorded in the destiny, but also part of your and her memories. So I am not completely ignorant of your thoughts."

Cheng Lixue smiled when he heard this: "Really? That's easy to say. What I want to do most in my heart is not to see Master, but to return to Taixu Mountain and recall the past with Master."

"why?"

"Since I joined Tianming, I discovered that my master might have a very complicated past. She is unwilling to answer my questions, most likely because she has something to hide. It is the disciple's job not to make the master feel troubled. Unless she is willing to tell me, I will not ask her that question again even if I meet her. I am no longer the person who asked a hundred thousand questions."

Ainoshia sighed softly and thought: "So in order to prevent Fu Hua from recalling bad memories, she would rather keep the knot in her heart forever. So far, she is undoubtedly the best person to Fu Hua in the current civilization. I hope you can live to see the day when Fu Hua is willing to tell you everything."

Ainoshia looked at Cheng Lixue who was gradually disappearing and offered her blessings sincerely.
