Collapse, but Stand users

He Chengrui glanced at Mei, who had been momentarily distracted and failed to block Titan's attack.

Mei simply waved her hand, disintegrating the missile that was flying towards He Chengrui, and then used her powers to make Titan lose control.

However, He Chengrui's sense of crisis did not disappear.

"Hmph, you are rather weak now."

He Chengrui frowned, looking at the Herrscher of Thunder in front of him who seemed to recognize him, and a bad feeling crept into his heart.

"What, aren't you going to return the body?" He Chengrui said, raising his right hand and extending his thumb.

Seeing the familiar gesture, the Herrscher of Thunder said with a hint of arrogance, "Oh? You're just giving up on this little girl? I think she really likes you."

"It seems you still don't know the White Snake's abilities."

Hearing these unfamiliar words, the Herrscher of Thunder began to feel wary.

The man in front of her did indeed possess some strange abilities. In order to preserve her hard-won life, the Herrscher of Thunder once again lowered her consciousness.

"Live well, and I will end your life."

Mei then lost consciousness, and He Chengrui quickly went forward to hold her to prevent her from falling to the ground.

He Chengrui glanced at the silent Kiana, then offered no explanation and carried Mei home.

The Herrscher of Thunder was not fully awakened, so not much Honkai energy was leaked out. Instead, the appearance of the Titan caused a huge uproar in Changkong City.

But He Chengrui didn't care about any of that. What was important was that the Herrscher of Thunder inside Mei seemed to recognize him.

Is it the effect of the simulation? Or is it the priest's ability?

He Chengrui shook his head. The conclusion drawn from mere speculation was untenable. It seemed he would have to find some time to ask the Herrscher of Thunder.

Mei was unharmed, and He Chengrui left the room after settling her in.

"Is Mei alright?" Kiana asked anxiously from outside the room.

He Chengrui shook his head, indicating that Mei was alright, and then looked at Kiana's wounds from fighting the Titans.

"Go sit on the sofa in the living room, I'll bandage you up."

"Okay." Seeing the serious look on He Chengrui's face, Kiana agreed and obediently sat down on the sofa.

He Chengrui took out his first-aid kit and gave Kiana a simple bandage. Fortunately, Kiana was quite skilled and only suffered minor injuries, so she didn't need to go to the hospital.

Kiana felt a warm glow in her heart as she looked at He Chengrui's earnest expression.

"hey-hey."

He Chengrui looked up and grinned foolishly at Kiana.

Then he lowered his head and asked, "What, don't you want to ask me anything?"

"Hmm... Mei is unconscious, what should we eat tonight?"

Does Kiana have any questions? Of course she does.

But everyone has their own secrets, don't they? After thinking it over, Kiana, as usual, asked what they should eat for dinner tonight.

Upon hearing this, He Chengrui paused in his actions.

"Haha, you really are... a little too cute," He Chengrui said with a laugh.

After finishing bandaging Kiana, He Chengrui clapped his hands, stood up, looked at Kiana's flushed face, patted her head and said, "Just wait, I'll cook you a good meal myself tonight."

The girl in front of him was not as excited as He Chengrui had imagined; instead, she nodded somewhat awkwardly.

......

That evening, Mei woke up, completely unaware of what had happened after she fell into a coma. He Chengrui and Qiyana, seeing this, also chose to keep it a secret.

After dinner, He Chengrui drove Bronya home as usual.

"I'm sorry, teacher, Bronya couldn't help you."

He Chengrui patted the girl's head, expressing his understanding. After all, the chip had not been removed yet, and Bronya could not act rashly.

'Once Bronya's chip is removed, Cocolia will probably really go berserk.'

'I need to improve my strength as soon as possible; even Titans can hurt me now.'
