Chapter 285: The Girl's Wish

~8 min read 1,526 words

At the instant of catching the sword blade, yummy's body seemed to have completed its final evolution; even through the crimson light flames, the gradually solidifying body could be seen.

That was a strange person whose entire body was filled with red, resembling a fire bird.

However, the body that should have been especially perfect was missing a corner; its right hand was a bare purple, extending from the hand to the face.

It was obviously Anku's missing half-body; the details and the missing right hand were the same.

Even Anku himself felt that this was his discarded body.

At the moment of completing evolution, a left wing unfolded from its back.

Just a light flap already sent Huo Ye Yingsi flying.

The strength of the Bird-system Greed is also quite formidable.

Before Huo Ye Yingsi could launch another attack, the Bird-system Greed flew into the sky using its single wing.

However, before leaving, it glanced lightly at Anku, without saying a word.

Only a ground full of red feathers remained.

The next evening, after finishing a day's work, Huo Ye Yingsi found Anku.

However, when Huo Ye Yingsi pushed open the room door, he found Anku lying on a small bed draped with red silk, his back turned.

Even though Huo Ye Yingsi stood before his bed, Anku firmly refused to turn, seemingly trying to avoid the fact in this way.

"Anku, what exactly happened with the Greed that appeared that day? Is it closely related to your resurrection?"

"Although Anku still had no intention of turning, Huo Ye Yingsi said to himself: 'I think you, Anku, must greatly desire to have your own body like other Greeds.'"

"The reason I didn't act immediately is precisely because I understand your thoughts, Anku, which made me hesitate."

Huo Ye Yingsi paused, then continued:

"I wonder if defeating him would mean Anku could never recover his body?"

"So I don't want to defeat him; I just want to know what I should do to help you."

Huo Ye Yingsi sat on the bed, looking at Anku on the upper bunk, and said.

"You really are an idiot."

Hearing Huo Ye Yingsi's words, Anku impatiently turned over.

Nevertheless, he still stated the fact that his body had been separated from him 800 years ago.

However, he also didn't know why his body had turned into yummy.

This, like his body moving, was equally beyond his expectation.

"If you were to remerge with your body, what would you become, Anku?" Huo Ye Yingsi asked.

"Probably it would be a contest of consciousness; the weaker side would likely disappear forever."

According to the current situation, the weaker side is Anku, who has only his right hand left.

They have already witnessed the combat power of the Bird-system Greed; judging by strength, they could overwhelm Oz and Birth.

After hearing these words, Huo Ye Yingsi fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

"The Bird-system Greed should also have a Core Coin inside it, and the strength of a Greed should be judged by the Core Coin; am I right, Anku?"

"Hey, what do you want to do?" Anku sprang up from the bed upon hearing Huo Ye Yingsi's words.

"The Core Coins in hand should be enough, right?" Huo Ye Yingsi said to Anku with a faint smile.

At that moment, a red mechanical eagle lightly tapped the window and flew in.

"Did you find it?" Huo Ye Yingsi asked.

"Hey, Yingsi, what did you find?"

Anku looked at the hurriedly departing Huo Ye Yingsi and asked.

"I found those two yummy; after Wu Fan left, I had asked the mechanical eagle to look for them, but I didn't expect to get results so quickly."

"I'll go too."

Anku had no objection to the cell coins; even though he was anxious about his own body, he still needed to handle present affairs.

He might also have been infected by Huo Ye Yingsi in daily life, who knows.

Some things, no matter how urgent, are useless; starting from small things, perhaps there could be unexpected gains.

They followed the mechanical eagle's flight trajectory, passing through the grass, and arrived at the kendo hall once again.

As they passed through the window, the mechanical eagle was hovering above here.

Finally it perched on the clothes rack beside the hall, its gaze occasionally flashing a hint of red.

Anku pushed open the room door; inside was empty, the large hole knocked in the wall temporarily covered with white cloth, awaiting repair.

The familiar sound of bamboo swords echoed in the empty kendo hall. "This person is the host of yummy."

Anku looked at the kendo girl, who was single-mindedly swinging her sword alone, and said to Huo Ye Yingsi.

"Under her surface desire lies a hidden, deeper and similar desire—that is, the derivation of desire—so yummy split into two."

At this moment, the girl straining to swing her sword finally noticed that a stranger had entered the hall.

However, when she looked closely, she recognized him as the stranger who had saved her classmates and teachers that day.

"Thank you for saving my classmates and teachers," the girl said to Huo Ye Yingsi with a slight bow.

"No, it's nothing, just a trivial effort; no need for such formality."

Huo Ye Yingsi waved his hands repeatedly: "Hello, I'm Huo Ye Yingsi, and this is Anku."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Bai Niao," she said.

"Hmph, your desire is indeed quite special; I think, besides wanting to become stronger, what other secrets does your desire have? Speak quickly so we can go find yummy."

Anku looked at the girl before him, his attitude extremely hostile.

"Anku, this is not her fault."

"You don't need to take it to heart; he's just like that."

Actually, what Mr. Anku said is correct; the reason behind my desire to become stronger is indeed hard to speak of, but this matter is all because of my foolish obsession.

The girl kneeling on the floor slowly opened her mouth, and the two people and one eagle began to listen attentively.

My reason for wanting to become stronger is that in today's kendo tournament, if we win, after the match ends the teacher will spend a day with us.

So that's it, that's your reason for wanting to become stronger." Huo Ye Yingsi nodded and said.

Then what is the secret you spoke of?

Actually." Bai Niao's face suddenly flashed a hint of shyness, but quickly turned into sadness.

Actually, the teacher said that if we win, he would rather give up his own wedding to accompany us, and today was originally the teacher's wedding day, but now the match was canceled due to our absence, and the wedding also

Really?

Anku suddenly realized, he who possesses Quan Xinwu's memories can understand human emotions.

Hmm, I know this is wrong, but I actually wanted to win the championship so that the teacher would miss his wedding, because I don't want to see the teacher get married." Bai Niao said.

And Anku also, through the memories in his mind, knew the thoughts of this girl host before him.

Yingsi, I know how to find yummy." Anku said.

Hey, Anku, what did you figure out?

Huo Ye Yingsi watched Anku rise and leave, then hurriedly chased after him.

After Huo Ye Yingsi and Anku walked away, that mechanical eagle fell from the sky and landed on the white bird's shoulder.

Congratulations, honest you deserve a reward; your teacher is fine now and can normally attend his wedding.

The mechanical eagle opened its beak, not chirping, but a young man's voice.

Really? Is the teacher really okay?" Bai Niao excitedly spoke while holding the mechanical eagle in her hands.

Hmm, if you go now, you should be able to catch up to his wedding.

Catch up?" Bai Niao was a bit puzzled.

Actually, your teacher had already been discharged from the hospital yesterday; I specialize in paying compensation in advance.

The mechanical eagle rose into the sky, flying through the falling red feathers filling the heavens.

Anku, what exactly did you figure out?" Huo Ye Yingsi said as she caught up to Anku.

She has two desires: one is to become stronger, the other is to destroy.

Anku stopped and looked at Huo Ye Yingsi approaching.

Beneath the surface desire to become stronger lies disappointment over the teacher's wedding news, and moreover, because of a casual remark from the teacher, she harbors a fantasy,

If Wu Fan had not recovered those two yummy, those two yummy should now be on the way to the wedding.

Through Jiang Xia's permission, I have already found via Hong Shang where her teacher is getting married.

Anku showed his phone to Huo Ye Yingsi; the screen displayed the wedding hall where the ceremony was taking place.

When was that?" Huo Ye Yingsi's face flashed a hint of astonishment.

Just when you were mumbling, wanting to help me regain my body.

Anku took back his phone and hurried toward the wedding venue.

As we got closer, the scent of the two yummy grew stronger and stronger.
