The Collapse Begins in Changkong City

Wang Tang's lips twitched involuntarily; he himself had no idea that he had a perverted identity who liked to kidnap young girls.

"Where did you hear this rumor from?" Wang Tang asked, utterly speechless.

Hua placed her delicate hand to her lips in thought, and said...

"I heard that Mr. Wang Tang, a year ago you tied a young girl to a fire-chasing moth and imprisoned her, and then... you did this and that to her."

Wang Tang's fists clenched so tightly they cracked; he desperately wanted to teach that bastard who spread rumors a lesson.

Seeing this, Hua quickly ran into the room to change her clothes, not wanting Wang Tang to go berserk because of a few words.

After calming down, Wang Tang found it somewhat amusing and said, "Why would I get angry over these rumors?"

Wang Tang was initially a little angry, but he calmed down when he thought of Mebius.

After all, Mebius never cared about those verbal insults; instead, he continued to eat and drink as usual.

The room door clicked open.

A gray-haired beauty dressed in casual clothes walked out of the room.

Seeing this girl, whose appearance had changed noticeably except for her chest, I realized that she was quite different from before.

Seeing this, Wang Tang couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of Hua, her face and demeanor are noticeably different from before, it's just... um..."

Hua's face flushed red as she asked, "What is it?"

"Um... it's just that you're too... flat-chested."

Hua was completely stunned. He never expected that Wang Tang would say such hurtful things to a girl.

With a thud, Hua punched Wang Tang directly on the head. He said angrily, "You...you get out of my house!" Hua was breathing heavily, as if he would use force to kick Wang Tang out if she didn't leave.

"Don't... be angry, Hua, I didn't mean to say that," Wang Tang said, waving her hands in front of her.

"Hmph," Hua muttered to himself: I really don't understand what's the use of being so big. I'm obviously good at training like this. Being so big really affects the speed of my punches.

Wang Tang said apologetically, "Indeed, I feel that smaller is better, smaller is better."

But the next moment, Wang Tang noticed that Hua's veins were bulging and his teeth were grinding. Wang Tang immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly patted Hua's shoulder, saying...

"Hua, you're only 19 and still developing, so you have to believe in yourself."

Hua glanced at Wang Tang and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

"Hua, you have to believe me! How could I possibly lie to you about something like this?" Wang Tang said earnestly.

Wang Tang felt a chill run down her spine. After all, Hua Chang hadn't changed at all in 50,000 years, and even Gretchen, who was younger than her, had developed better than her.

"I'll let it go since you made me happy."

After Hua calmly finished speaking, he began to fantasize about possessing that kind of uncontrollable, enormous power in the future.

"Hey hey hey"

Sitting in the distance, Wang Tang saw Hua grinning foolishly and couldn't help but think: Could it be that she's fallen into a fantasy because of what I said?

Wang Tang didn't interrupt Hua Du's fantasy; instead, he quietly watched from the side, knowing that Hua was actually very sad.

Hua is only temporarily forgetting Himiko and Carol because of his own words.

Wang Tang couldn't believe how sad and desperate Hua must have felt every night when he thought about his best friend and captain dying before his eyes.

Wang Tang secretly took out a small bottle of unknown powder from the system space, and then used her ability to create shadow clones and doppelgangers to pour a little into Hua's wine.

Don't misunderstand, this isn't some kind of aphrodisiac; it's just something that makes you have sweet dreams every day.

"Hua, shall we drink the last bit of wine? It would be a waste if we didn't.

"it is good"

The "glug-glug" sound rang out, and the two finished the last bottle of wine.

"Thank you, Wang Tang," Hua said with gratitude and relief.

"Hmm, what did you say?"

Hua spoke again, saying, "Thank you for coming to see me today."

Wang Tang waved her hand dismissively and said...

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I saw Kevin when I woke up today, and then I learned about your situation from her, so I came here.”

“Kevin…?” Hua murmured to herself.

"Hua, are you blaming Kevin?" Wang Tang asked curiously.

Hua shook his head and then said frankly

“I never blamed Kevin. I know he was also...blaming himself, but eliminating the Honkai is our duty as Moth Warriors.”

"So I don't blame Kevin. My only goal in life now is to become stronger."

"I need to become strong enough, only by becoming strong can I prevent the few friends I still have from leaving me."

Hua's eyes were very determined when he said these words. Wang Tang looked at Hua now and couldn't help but smile.

"Wang Tang, what are you laughing at? Do you even think what I'm saying is just wishful thinking?" Hua said angrily.

Wang Tang's facial expression gradually changed from laughter to calm, and then she slowly began to speak.

"No, I'm not mocking you. I just think you've changed so much in the past year."

"Whether it's you or Kevin, I can clearly feel the obvious changes in your mindset."

At this point, Wang Tang couldn't help but stand up, instantly appearing beside Hua, gently rubbing his head, and softly saying, "Hua, you've grown up."

Startled, Wang Tang's hand was slapped away. Hua crossed her arms, pouted, and said shyly...

"Wang Tang, why did you suddenly touch my head? It's so sudden, I'm embarrassed." After saying that, Hua covered her cheeks and shook them like a little sister next door.

"Sorry, sorry," Wang Tang quickly apologized, only then realizing that her bad habit of touching other people's heads was really not good.

Any complete stranger who gets their head patted by Wang Tang like that would probably be slapped twice and completely disoriented.

"It's...it's nothing. I didn't mean to resist being patted on the head. I was just startled by your sudden appearance."

Hua's tone carried a hint of anticipation.

"Oh, I see. Then next time I'll try to walk up to you myself, so I won't scare you, right?" Wang Tang said, scratching her head sheepishly.

"Um, so Wang Tang, could you... could you..." Hua found herself unable to continue speaking.

Wang Tang asked, completely bewildered, "Can't what? Just tell me already!"

After taking a deep breath, Hua said directly, "Could you pat my head?"

"Hmph, of course you can." Upon hearing this request, Wang Tang placed her hand on Hua's head.

Hua thought to herself: "This feels so good. I wish every day could be like this."

Hua quickly shook off this dangerous thought. Hua, how could you have such a dangerous idea?

"Is this okay, Hua?" Wang Tang asked uncertainly.

"Okay, that's fine." Although Hua appeared calm on the surface, she felt a sense of emptiness inside.
