I really don't want to be famous, but the collapse is still chasing me

[Tingyun is so pitiful. Come to my house tonight and I'll give him some psychological counseling.]

[Brother, the abacus beads hit my face.]

[Tingyun is now suffering from survivor's guilt.]

[After watching this scene, I have an urge to kill Huanlong.]

[Don't worry, Huanlong will die, just not now.]

-

The next moment, Ruan Mei changed the subject, "But you are lucky. It takes time for her to take everything from you for herself, so you are not wiped out in an instant.

There's a fine line between "coming back from the dead" and "escaping death," but there's a world of difference. If you're completely dead, there's nothing I can do."

Da Tingyun groaned, "My body... feels so weird..."

"I'm sorry, but I can't bring you back to consciousness just yet. You'll be in excruciating pain. This body has been tainted by destruction and has suffered the most severe damage. I told you this trauma will always be with you.

To prevent a resurgence, I've made some minor improvements to your body—or, more precisely, your tail. Learn to adapt. The price of survival is often misfortune, and there's nothing you can do about it.

[Ruan Mei's character design is becoming more and more exciting. ]

[There is a sense of divinity, a divinity of universal love! ]

[Tail? Huo Huo means he has something to say.]

[I'm afraid Mr. Tail won't agree.]

[What a miracle doctor, Ruan! ]

So, Tingyun's body hasn't changed much, only his tail has grown from one to nine. This makes sense.

-

"Anyway, thank you for saving my life." Da Tingyun expressed his gratitude.

Ruan Mei responded calmly, "No need to thank me, this is just a deal. With this, I am even with that merchant."

[It’s confirmed, it’s Rakshasa! ]

【Rakshasa is still attacking! 】

[Like you, Rakshasa! ]

[Enthusiastic citizen Mr. Luo.]

Ever since I watched Honkai Impact 3rd, I've always felt that everything Rakshasa does is to create a big event later.

【The plot of Rakshasa is still getting more valuable. 】

[Just kidding, if you don't look at his otherworldly counterpart, you'd be doing this face a disservice if you didn't cause trouble.]

[Walter Yang said that seeing this face gave him the urge to punch someone.]

What if Rakshasa is a good guy? Just like the priest in Honkai Impact 3rd.

Ruan Mei said they were even. I think they made a deal. A few generals had previously mentioned at a meeting that Ruan Mei would be a part of the effort. I think the remaining breeding stock would be handed over to Ruan Mei. That was the deal.

[Let me be frank. Trading the remains of a Star God for Tingyun's life, do you think Otto, who isn't a Rakshasa, would do such a thing?]

So he's definitely going to make a big news story. Let's see. I just hope we don't have to face each other again.

-

"Who?" Tingyun asked.

"Don't worry about it. Go back to sleep and you'll have forgotten all these details when you wake up.

I'll ask someone to take you back... So, I do have a group of reliable friends who have a close relationship with you.

Why not just follow them? Hearing more about the past will also help with recovery."

At this point, the past that was accidentally revealed by the tuning fell asleep again and faded away.

-

Vanwick suddenly woke up from his dream, gasping for breath.

"Are you... okay?" March Seven asked with concern.

"Did I faint?" Wanwek replied weakly.

Xing shook her head with a look of regret, "We just got to the stage of making the portrait."

The corner of Wanwek's mouth twitched. "That's quite neat."

[Hahaha, Xing's words successfully made me laugh.]

[Only Xing dares to speak like this.]

[Hahahaha. Xing's expression looks a bit regretful.]

-

Sunday, standing by, stroked his chin. "Tune up and actually affect Vanwick. This lady is no ordinary woman."

"At this point, there's no need to hide anything from you." Walter adjusted his glasses. "Miss Tingyun was originally from the Immortal Boat. She had the misfortune of encountering the Great Lord of Extinction, who stole her identity and left her on the verge of death. Although she escaped, she was severely injured and recovery is impossible according to common sense."

Sunday looked at Walter Yang with great interest. He knew that even the fox people of the Immortal Boat were like dust under the destruction order. It was beyond the scope of miracles for them to survive.

“But at this point, variables appear?”

"Well, a genius intervened. She has made great achievements in the field of life and bought Miss Tingyun a glimmer of hope.

Later, the train was entrusted by her to escort Miss Tingyun back home. The stop at Pinocchio on the way was also partly for rest and recuperation.

Da Tingyun looked apologetic, "I'm truly sorry. I thought hiding in my dreams would prevent others from getting hurt, but I never imagined that accidents would happen one after another."

Van Weyk waved his hand. "It's okay, just don't get hurt. Hey, can you give me something to drink? I feel like I've been asleep for ten years."

Walter Yang nodded, "Okay, the commotion just now has attracted a lot of attention. Let's talk somewhere else."

Soon after--

Everyone appeared in front of a Suleda vending machine.

Wanwek frowned slightly, "Suleda again, I'm a local..."

"Just make do with it." Sunday agreed.

Walter Yang: "Anyway, thank you both for your help."

"It's just a small favor. Now that Ms. Tingyun's problem has been resolved, shall I go with you to meet the other two companions?"

"No need. Mr. Wanwek is not in good condition. Let's go and complete your farewell trip first." Walter Yang turned his head and looked at March Seven, "I'll leave Miss Tingyun's matter to you."

"Ah? Uncle Yang... the Immortal Boat messenger is coming soon, aren't you going?"

"I'm at ease leaving it to you. And Jizi is here too, so she can make the final decision on anything that's uncertain."

Sanyueqi nodded solemnly, "Okay. Then we have to hurry up."

She turned to look at Xing, "Shall we keep walking?"

Xing scratched his head, "What are we going to do..."

"How could you forget so quickly? Miss Tingyun is going back to the Alliance, and we're here to pick out some souvenirs for her."

Da Tingyun bowed slightly, "I'm unfamiliar with this place and worried about being tricked by unscrupulous merchants. Coincidentally, the recipients of my gifts are all familiar friends on Xianzhou. I'd appreciate some suggestions from the two major shareholders."

Sanyueqi grumbled softly, "What businessman would set a trap for you..."

Then Sanyueqi and Xing accompanied Tingyun to choose gifts.

Fortunately, Tingyun spoke without making any mistakes. He neither listened to Xing's abstract suggestions nor offended Xing.

After packing the gifts, Tingyun counted the time and saw that he still had plenty of time, so he said,

"Tingyun has one unfulfilled wish. Since this is our last stop, could you please spare me a moment and find a quiet corner to discuss some private matters with you two?"

Sanyueqi and Xing looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Not long after.

Tingyun found a sparsely populated place and said, "This is good."

"Miss Tingyun, what are you doing..." San Yueqi asked with some confusion.

"I have been with you all for many days, and I am deeply grateful for your kindness. However, there are still some things that I cannot forget, and I think it would be best to speak my mind before we part.

Do you two still remember the first time you met me?"

"How could he have forgotten? The pioneer was so frightened that he stood still, shouting something..."

Xing put her hands on her hips, "Hanabi, why is it you!"

Tingyun smiled happily, "Exactly. And that's why I always feel a special feeling in my heart when I travel with you all."

Although I said, "May I ask your names, both of you?", I couldn't help but think in my heart that this "first meeting" was probably a "reunion after a long separation" for you.

I've heard all about your journey on the immortal boat, and I can't help but marvel at the ingenuity of your illusory disguise. It's like another me in this world, deceiving everyone."

Sanyueqi pursed his lips. "Yeah, we can't even tell when Miss Tingyun was replaced by Huanlong. We thought it was during the hunt for Kafka that Miss Tingyun disappeared for a while and was replaced when she reappeared."

"But the truth is that it happened much earlier."

[The case is solved, finally solved! ]

[The mystery of Tingyun's disappearance has finally been solved.]

[So, the Tingyun at the beginning is Huanlong? ]

[That should be the case. She was attacked along with the caravan, so that's probably it.]

-

"Every time I think of this, I feel a little lonely, as if a part of my life has been cut away, and I have been excluded." Tingyun smiled bitterly.

"This is also what confuses me. After all, I have never personally witnessed how Huanlong disguised himself as Tingyun. According to you two, what did Tingyun look like at that time?"

Xing thought for a moment, "That's a bit shrewd."

"That's true, but I've always been calculating things, never people." Tingyun continued, "Then who does he look like?"

"A smooth and thoughtful businessman."

Tingyun smiled faintly, very charmingly, "Oh, I'll take this as a compliment. Next time, you might as well say 'well-rounded'."

She then asked, "So...is there anything impressive?"

"March Seven said you are good at ordering people around." During the conversation, Xing pointed his finger at March Seven.

"Ah! Don't complain to my face!"

Tingyun covered his mouth and laughed. "Then one last question. In your opinion, am I exactly the same as the person in your memory?"

Xing said seriously for once, "Actually, I don't think it's important."

San Yue Qi also nodded. "Ms. Tingyun is obviously the real one, why is she comparing herself with a fake?"

"Miss March must have misunderstood. I just feel a little regretful and a little relieved."

Sanyueqi looked puzzled, "Huh?"

"Businessmen always need to be well-informed. I will definitely know the latest situation in Luofu before returning. If I return to the past, I will not be able to help much in a hurry. I should postpone my journey and seek help from allies outside, but if so..."

"Will we never meet at all?"

"Yes." Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief. "From your description, it seems the Great Lord of Extinction truly possesses extraordinary abilities. His actions are exactly like mine. It's more like he lived for me for a few days than it is a disguise.

I regretfully missed your immortal ship journey. But the subsequent unfoldings, minus the conspiracy, were identical to my presence. Tingyun thus saw a possibility...

That illusion took away my life. Fox people will never give up and will never suffer any loss. I must get something back from her.

But after thinking about it, the only thing that can be considered of equal value is "the fate between us all".

Thinking of this, I felt relieved and finally understood how to speak to you two."

Having said this, Tingyun smiled with relief.

"I've never met any of you benefactors before, yet you've saved me from dire straits. How is this situation any different from that time? I should have treated you with respect, but because I was afraid of that illusion, I became unrecognizable."

【Cry, cry for me! TwT!】

[This plot is full of tension, worthy of your Mihuyou! ]

[This line has a terrifyingly high EQ. How many people has Mihoyo's screenwriter taken advantage of?]

-

"And now, Tingyun will take back everything that was lost, starting with a proper title."

Tingyun paused and said, "My dear benefactors, Tingyun sincerely thanks you all."

【Welcome back, Tingyun! 】

[I thought I couldn't hear the fox woman who called me benefactor anymore!]

[Woo woo, baby!]

【Finally it came back. I thought I couldn't hear it anymore.】

[Ah, it feels good! So good!]

[Do you know how long I have been waiting for this word of benefactor? ]

[Thank you for your hard work, screenwriter. You worked so hard to eliminate the doubts in the audience's hearts! ]

[Everyone is so amazing, am I the only one who didn't understand? ]

[That is, Zhen Tingyun thought Huanlong's imitation was too similar to her. Because this didn't look exactly like Huanlong's fake self, but in fact, that was another true self, Zhen Tingyun felt relieved and became herself again.]

That’s great!

-

Xing smiled slightly, "It's time to adjust your identity."

"It seems like a good start. I will make more similar attempts in the future. When I do, you, the benefactors, will be the courage in Tingyun's heart."

San Yueqi quickly interrupted, "That's too much! Miss Tingyun, please don't make any dangerous decisions. She can't afford it!"

"That's all for later. I just hope that from now on, what remains in the memories of my benefactors is 'Tingyun', and not 'Huanlong'. I have finished my words. I hope I haven't taken up too much time. Let's get on with our journey."

At this point, the three of them walked together and came to Dr. Edward's dream bubble.

In the process of buying and selling dream bubbles, Tingyun suddenly thought of something, "Oh, speaking of dreams, I also have a small gift to give to my benefactor.

I've been bothering you for days, and now that we're about to part, I can't just say nothing. I'm leaving a dream bubble for you all, hoping you'll be able to use it."

Xinghe Sanyueqi took the dream bubble and was very happy. "Wow... Of course, you're so welcome."

After everything was ready, Tingyun picked up the gift and walked forward with Sanyueqi.

Xing glanced at the dream bubble in his hand and said, "You guys go ahead, I have some things to take care of, I'll catch up later."

"What's the matter?" San Yue Qi asked suspiciously.

Tingyun seemed to see through everything. "I still want to choose a few gifts. I wonder if you have any suggestions."

"Still want to choose? Then you've come to the right person!"

Sanyueqi pulled Tingyun forward.

At this moment, Tingyun turned around and smiled, "I'll be waiting for you, benefactor."
