Collapse, survive

Meeting Himeko's recommending gaze, he glanced discreetly at the completely mutated train plants, but clearly he hadn't yet made up his mind to do the same.

The bell arrived just in time.

"Ms. Himeko."

"Have a coffee, Ring, and then we'll say goodbye."

Himeko smiled, and could see through what was written all over her face.

After everything that has happened on the Immortal Ship, Dan Heng needs some time to adjust; and Walter, no, it should be said that Fang Jie, also needs to go through some things, just like Dan Heng, or even more.

The same goes for this one. The only solution is... how about having a cup of coffee to change the mood?

……

……

"Zizzi."

Fang Jie never uses a straw to drink, but Xing took his straw and drank two at once.

Yes, she came too.

Xiao Sanyue sat down next to her, and the two watched the play side by side. Right opposite them, Fang Jie was confronting Ling.

"Hey, you're here pretty fast. You look so down. Did something upset you? Tell us so we can all have a good laugh."

Fang Jie's expression wasn't exactly ugly, but it was definitely not as cowardly and timid as it had been at the beginning, nor was it as arrogant.

Opposite him, Ling looked serious and had sharp eyes. When she clashed with Fang Jie, it was as if sparks flew in the air. In the world of Pokémon, this would definitely have resulted in a battle.

"Naive. It's just that she drank several times more coffee. Thanks to someone, Himeko has developed a strange view of us from that world. It seems that we all really like her coffee."

"Yeah, that's right! Next time I'm going to recommend Himeko's coffee to everyone. If anyone doesn't like it, I'll beat them up!"

Just be a human being.

Ah Xing and Ah Qi both frowned.

Unbeknownst to them, the enigmatic Seele was also sitting next to them and was offered a cup of coffee to satisfy her curiosity.

What's this? Himeko Coffee! Let me try some...

Seele fell.

Ah Xing and Ah Qi exchanged a silent glance, their unspoken message clear: Looks like it's just the two of us now, really...

We can't let Natasha be curious either; this is for Himeko's sake, and also for her own.

A firm resolve prevented another tragedy, and Fang Jie, speechless at Xi'er's delirious talk, quickly abandoned Jin Gang to rush over and save her.

"Xier, are you alright?"

He wanted to appear grief-stricken, but he couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

Seele gripped his hand tightly: "I, I still..."

"Don't bother returning it. This is something even Black Tower finds outrageous. It poses no threat to her in the culinary field, but it's a major challenge when it comes to weapons."

As he spoke, Fang Jie downed the cup of coffee that Star Satisfy Xier's curiosity had been satisfied with, and gave her a fierce look.

The stars will protect you in March.

And his eyes were defiant.

What can you do to me?

"It's decided. I originally intended to spare your life and not expose that you didn't drink at all, but since you're so eager to die..."

Fang Jie would tattle on Himeko.

mean!

Xing Youyan was manipulated, even though it was a bit too childish for a child.

In March, she remained silent. Her methods for secretly hiding coffee weren't quite as sophisticated, but she still managed to freeze it into ice cubes and throw it out.

Ling coldly watched these childish kids, then flew towards Natasha. She still remembered the doctor: "Doctor, are you alright?"

"Thanks for caring."

Natasha is much better now, but Seele won't let her leave the hospital and insists that she rest. She is willing to rest for this, and every day she is only allowed to look at the flowers and prune the trees here, living the luxurious life of Belleberg.

Fang Jie also specially transformed a space, creating a sunny beach summer atmosphere...

The extravagance was beyond the comprehension of generations of Belloberg.

Fang Jie rushed over and stood between Ling and Natasha: "We have some things to talk about, I'll go first."

Then they dragged her away.

"Sigh, they really are the same as ever. They're not only backstabbing behind people's backs, but they're also at each other's throats to their faces."

It's not unusual to have a short three-month period.

Xing was also puzzled, but she still wondered, "Why? I remember their relationship was pretty good at first, how come it suddenly took a turn for the worse?"

Xiao Sanyue thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but it's been like that ever since Miss Yae Sakura left."

"This won't do, March. You have pink hair too, why not show off your cuteness..."

Xing proposed a peace plan.

"It's possible, Fang Jie is much more obedient than you, needless to say; Ling is also very nice, it's fun to play with her, but if they get together..."

Little March shrugged, at a loss for what to do.

By the way, they've all gotten together now, could it be that—

They've already started fighting.

Completely devoid of any sadness about parting, Ling bit Fang Jie's arm as he dragged her away, her eyes still wide open. The silent contest began the moment she stepped into this private space.

Fang Jie wasn't surprised at all. His eyes burned with the same light, but he didn't rush to retaliate. He suppressed his anger, his tone quite gentle:

"How many times have we fought?"

"Who would remember that kind of thing!"

Ling was furious. She wanted to say goodbye to Natasha, but Fang Jie defended her. Did he not trust her at all?

"That's true, after all, we all believe in 'if you want it, take it yourself'."

Fang Jie looked at Ling, who was the size of a little girl, and sulked.

So what?

I'm angry too, let's have a little showdown.

At first, he couldn't bring himself to hurt her because of her appearance, but later, annoyed by the bite, he stopped caring and started retaliating in kind.

The same applies now.

To describe it in the style of a martial arts novel, a dangerous and heavy aura spread between the two of them, like a giant star in the sky, looming over their heads and then shattering in an instant.

"It's a great joy to reunite with an old friend, especially since it's right here. Belleberg is doing well, isn't he? Do you remember the days when you easily manipulated and bullied me?"

As Fang explained, Ling's ears quietly twitched up, and the pink tips fell into his mouth. He pulled hard, and Ling pulled even harder in pain, which made Fang pull even harder in pain.

This is the spiral of suffering.

Despite the pain, she replied calmly, "Really? I seem to remember being unfamiliar with this place and being bullied beyond recognition by you."

Of course! Back then, they were deported overnight and sent to the Star Train, where Uncle Yang was in charge.

"Because you have no love."

Fang Jie was also very patient, and of course remembered: "I should have been able to travel with ease, but I had to carry you as a burden. The tone of the story from the beginning was not easy. I missed so many, so many romantic stories that were different from the past. How are you going to make it up to me?"

Looking back, Fang Jie couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and ambition.

He was kicked.

Ling not only bit him, but also kicked him upside down, but because she was small, she couldn't hit him even if she swung her arms in a wide arc.

"It's my fault? I was just being a good Herrscher, and you had to bring me to this godforsaken place. There's no going back, and I've learned about so many terrifying lunatics..."

Ling has experienced too much in the Milky Way, even becoming socially anxious, only daring to do evil online, not daring to actually leave the Star Train.

After all, when a person is down on their luck, it can be even worse than encountering Fang Jie.

You still dare to run around like that? The company will arrest you!

"Then do you, as a Lawyer, understand?"

Fang Jie then rammed his forehead into that foot again, and not only that, he also chopped down with his iron head, thrusting straight into the space between Ling's incredibly flexible thighs, compressing her bent legs into a ball.

The advantage of body size is as follows.

The two fighters' fighting style is constrained at the level of Herrschers, and it's purely hand-to-hand combat without any fancy moves.

"I... I don't understand, okay?"

Ling could be stubborn, but there was no need. Apart from apologizing to Fang Jie, she knew very well that she had lived a muddled life and made many mistakes.

But I only apologized to him...

Saying thank you is fine, but apologizing is not.

At least not in person.

He took Yae Sakura away and still expects me to apologize? That's so unfair! Without that buffer, only Fang Jie can go and invite her to movies or dates. No wonder Rin bites him when he's being flaunted.

Now that we are about to return home, we should seize the time to settle our scores and avenge our wrongs, so that we won't find it difficult to fight back when we get back.

The bell, which had been completely suppressed, suddenly swelled up!

Body size doesn't tell the whole story, but that bastard Fang Jie always uses it to bully her and even tries to manipulate her into becoming an older sister...

His heart can be killed.

This wasn't the first time Fang Jie had seen Ling grow up, but before, she had only grown into a young girl, like Yae Sakura's younger sister, which was quite... making him unable to resist teasing her.

Why is the old woman...?

It can only be said that sometimes he himself understands that he was not wronged in being beaten.

At this moment, Rin has grown up.

A pair of sapphire-like eyes reflected Fang Jie's appearance, like the most beautiful mirror, while her long pink hair reached all the way to her hips, flowing smoothly and naturally causing her clothes to burst open.

It's not that the original clothes were insufficient to cover her up, but rather it's a metaphor. The clothes simply grew as she grew up; what was exposed was her figure, giving people a stunning sense of "clothes bursting open."

Fang Jie was momentarily dazzled, as if hit by a flashbang and a charm. His previously suppressed, barely noticeable buttocks suddenly became fuller, and in turn, they dominated him. His physical advantage changed, after all, he was only a teenager.

This event is also recorded in Bakemonogatari.

Danger! He's been put under mind control, but the next second, I seized the opportunity to give him a set of elbow strikes to wake him up.

It even used a time-space distortion technique, with a pale blue filter covering everything in front of her, including her flushed cheeks and her watery eyes.

Fang Jie made no move, remaining in the suppressed position, choosing the other person's body...

A time-space fracture, right?

You probably don't know how long I can persist and delve deeper into this field after unlocking [Heaven].

Even when the end comes, everyone will have something to say!

Like a time-stopping series, he meant that a 100-year-old vampire faces a beating from a 17-year-old high school student, and they exchange elbow strikes while time is stopped.

However, it wasn't a fistfight.

In a world where time stands still, everything is silent.

Ling stepped over Fang Jie and stood up, stretching out her body so that her feet were no longer visible, but she said with great pride, "I know what you want, so now, I have already apologized to you."

An apology wouldn't involve showing a bear's mouth, of course, but obedience requires a pat on the head...

She touched Fang Jie's head.

He was convinced in his heart, but not in his words.

On this trip home, Ling was prepared to listen to him, even if she didn't say it.

And, if you're going to bite, you still have to bite!

She quickly changed tactics, her hot breath blowing from her nostrils onto Fang Jie's skin, this time not with her hands, but directly targeting his thick skin.
