Chapter 1074

Olga frowned slightly, seeming to be stumped by the question. He rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then honestly shook his head: "I'm not sure; there must be some dispute between him and Wandi."

"Is that so?" Raid nodded, his confusion deepening, "Captain, what did you mean by those words you just said? Things like 'don't stop moving'..."

Olga straightened his back, his face showing an expression of course: "I don't know why either, but I felt it was especially appropriate to say those words just now. As the savior, I must not fall first, and I must not stop moving, right?"

"Oh, I see... alright."

Raid scratched his head, feeling somewhat dazed, always sensing that the captain was a bit weird.

""Little Wandi, what have you done to everyone?!""

Wandi weakly let out a hum: "Hmph... just won another arena match."

""Arena, arena match?""

Aglaea seemed to have seen through all of this already, sighing softly: "... Indeed. These two, on the surface are the strongest warriors of the Holy City, but ultimately they cannot hide their youthful nature... Come on, Wandi? Tell us, what foolish things did you and Bai'e do?"

"Some time ago..."

Watching Bai'e's failed flame seed trial, Wandi repeatedly pondered in his mind how to help him untangle the knot in his heart.

"(Take a bath to relax, brother.)"

"Should I say this? Wandi shook his head, quickly dismissing this rather cheesy proposal in his mind."

"(Come have a drink, buddy.)"

"This line also... uh, doesn't really work either. Wandi continued shaking his head, rejecting the second invitation."

After considering several openings, Wandi cleared his throat.

"... Did I not missee? The amazing 'savior', finally willing to step out into the light?"

Bai'e didn't turn his head: "Hmph."

""A 'hmph'... what kind of answer is that?"

""Nothing much—just imitating your usual self." Bai'e turned around, not looking particularly dejected, instead seriously sizing up Wandi: "I don't sense any special aura from you... Have you passed the Demigod's trial?"

""The ritual hasn't been restarted yet. Don't forget—it hasn't been long since I pulled you out of the trial."

Princess Kaguya wants me to say goodbye.

"Ahhhh Little Wandi——! How can someone be both so handsome and so cute! Ahhhh——!"

Chika Fujiwara sank entirely into the sofa; if it weren't for so many people staring at her in the student council, she would have already writhed like a maggot. Even so, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but crank up wildly.

"Senior Fujiwara, please try to suppress that smile... I know it's hard, but this is an order."

"Sorry, sir, this—wait! Ishigami, you actually dare to order me?" Chika Fujiwara suddenly realized, puffing her cheeks and glaring at him angrily.

"Can't help it, senior's look is really rare." Ishigami turned his gaze back to the sky, "Speaking of Bai'e's mindset, it's not bad—he doesn't seem to have been affected by the trial failure... That's also one of the few pieces of good news lately."

Shirogane Mitsuyuki thought for a moment: "If we can successfully retrieve the flame seed of Sisyphus, then the remaining flame seeds of the Fire Pursuit Journey will be few, and the focus is still on how to defend against that black-clad swordsman."

Fujiwara waved her hand: "If you ask me, it's not that troublesome—let Little Wandi and Bai'e, plus Danheng after transformation, the three of us together can definitely beat him! Although that black-clad swordsman is strong, he cannot resist the suction of the Myriad Worlds Gate—at least that proves he's not invincible."

"Although he's a bit hard to kill, we can slowly fight him—even the Conflict Titan was eventually taken down by their combined efforts. The black-clad guy's regenerative ability is indeed strong, but Wandi is an immortal body, so who fears whom?"

——

Bai'e: "I haven't forgotten."

Wandi: "No need to thank."

Bai'e: "... The last light of the long night, the sturdy ramparts of Aohema. How many people came from afar, thinking she was a fertile garden abundant with figs and olives... yet they never imagined they had fallen into a burning furnace."

Wandi furrowed his brows: "What trick are you pulling again?"

""Just felt like it, wanted to recite a few lines of poetry. The prince of Xuanfeng, you wouldn't not understand poetry, would you?"

Feeling looked down upon made Wandi quite displeased. The corner of his eye twitched, his tone hard: "People of Xuanfeng don't read such weak texts, but my library is not lacking in such books——"

Bai'e began to explain solemnly: "These lines express the author's longing for home, just as Aohema is far from most people's hometowns."

Wandi gritted his teeth and spat: "——I understand poetry, HKS (bullshit)."

""Hah... don't pretend to be deep, my friend. Thanks for pulling me out at the critical moment, but I think you haven't prepared well for the trial either?"

""Don't lump my situation together with yours. I still have my clansmen behind me; before I resolve their issues, I cannot ascend to godhood alone."

Bai'e looked somewhat surprised: "Ho... hearing you, the brave Maidemos, heir to the Xuanfeng throne, actually want to break your clan's ancient tradition that has lasted a thousand years?"

""..." Wandi didn't give a direct answer, "I'm still thinking about what to do."

""Forget it, I probably don't even get to give you advice. But I happen to have an idea……"

""Go on, what other bad idea is this?"

""Perhaps we both need to release pressure. Come on, Maidemos, let's continue our previous competition……" Bai'e's eyes were firm, he declared resolutely, "This time——let's see who can last longer in the 'ultra-high temperature' bath!"

Wandi: "……"

Bai'e raised an eyebrow: "What, stage fright?"

Wandi lifted his chin disdainfully, like a proud lion: "The Xuanfeng people's dictionary has no words for 'stage fright'. I just find it ridiculous. You, a wild historian, haven't you heard that the Xuanfeng people bathe in scorching iron water used for tempering swords?"

Honkai 3.

"Pfft—hahahaha!"

Ailixiya laughed until she doubled over, for a moment unable to straighten her waist.

""Kevin, your isotopes are too cute…" Ailixiya wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, "... Well, that means Bai'e fell because he lost to Wandi in the 'high-temperature endurance' contest? Gee, this kind of match really suits Kevin better~"
