Reborn Girl, Journey to All Worlds

Chapter 107 Golden Courtyard

After chatting with Irene for a while, Xue took Selina out of the clothing store and continued to visit other stores in the mall.

As I walked around, an hour passed.

The two left the mall, bought two at the stall at the door, and then walked towards the Golden Courtyard.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the hillside where the Golden Courtyard was located.

"Selina, look, that's the Golden Courtyard."

Selina looked in the direction Xue pointed, and saw a single building standing there quietly, with warm lights emitting from the window frames.

But the next second, the lights suddenly went out, which made Selina stunned.

"Eh?"

"...I think there might be a problem with the Golden Courtyard's circuit."

Although she said so, Xue knew that this was not an ordinary power outage, but was caused by a short circuit in the power line due to the housekeeper Klein No. 1 and the kitchen appliances going on strike.

"let's go."

After a while, the two arrived at the door of the Golden Courtyard. Xue took out her and Selina's suitcases from the system space and knocked on the door gently.

After a while, the door opened, and before them appeared Miss Alicia, who was as beautiful and pure as a flower.

"Xiaoxue, Selina, you're back, come in quickly?"

Seeing that the people coming were Xue and Selina, Alicia smiled with surprise.

"excuse me."

"Speaking of which, Sister Ai Li, what's going on? Why did the power suddenly go out in the Golden Courtyard?"

Hearing this, Alicia looked a little distressed.

"Well, there was a little accident. The wiring in the house shorted out."

"Is that so..." Xue nodded slightly.

"Aunt!" As if she heard Xue's voice, Grace ran over from the living room and threw herself on Xue.

"Grace, I'm back. You must have been waiting for us for a long time."

"Yeah." Gray looked at Selina beside her and continued.

"Sister Selina, welcome to the Golden Courtyard~"

"Okay, thank you for the welcome, little Gray."

……

The two followed Alicia and Grace into the living room.

As soon as he came back, he saw Kevin planning to attack the fireplace that had not been used for a long time, and the cat in can form tried to stop Kevin for some reason after seeing this.

"What are you guys...doing?"

Hearing this, everyone finally noticed Xue and Selina behind Alicia.

"Ah, Xue, you're back."

"Ms. Selina, nice to meet you."

"first meet."

"We're back, so Kevin and Padu are..."

Before Xue could finish her words, Kevin opened the door of the fireplace and a bunch of strange and bizarre things burst out.

Including but not limited to crystals, crystal flowers, Fire Judgement toys, instant noodles, and even... the pink dress that Alicia gave to Mebius.

Seeing Xue, I didn’t know what to say for a moment. I could only say, you are worthy of it, Pado.

"Hey, why is the little skirt I gave you here? Professor Meibiwusi~"

Ellie shook the dust off her pink skirt and looked at the big snake that looked like a big caterpillar wrapped around her.

The big snake turned its head directly.

"how could I know."

At the same time, Ying bent down with a flashlight and picked up a fashion photo magazine. Qianjie was on the cover of the magazine, which made everyone uneasy.

"Stop looking, you're looking for death!" Seeing his dark history exposed, Qianjie emitted an almost tangible black aura from his body, and it seemed as if a murderous red light could be seen in his eyes.

"Everyone come and see, it's Qianjie's photo album~" Ai Li shouted loudly based on the principle that the more fun there is, the more exciting it is, which made Qianjie unable to hold back.

"Hey!"

"Xue, is everyone in the Golden Courtyard usually like this?"

Looking at the noisy crowd in front of her, Selina was a little confused.

"Well... that's about right. After all, it's more lively when there are more people~"

As soon as Xue finished speaking, a large pile of things were suddenly poked down from the chimney of the fireplace by Kevin using a skyfire model, attracting everyone's attention.

Su picked up a fallen comic book and opened his eyes on the spot.

Kosmo came over curiously, and his face was instantly filled with black lines.

Grace, who was standing by, suddenly became alert, her face panicked, and she started gesticulating.

"Everyone, no, stop looking!"

Gray suddenly pounced and fell directly into the pile of books, and more comics fell from the chimney.

"Grayshure?" Xue glanced at the contents of the comic and smiled helplessly. Is this a little girl's love fantasy? It's quite normal.

"Auntie... woo."

"It always feels like it's colder than before."

Perhaps because the chimney was completely unobstructed, the temperature in the house became a little colder.

Gray, who was pouting among the books, had an idea in mind.

So everyone just lit a fire in the fireplace using the comics as fuel.

"Ah~ The room suddenly became warm~"

Maomao broke free from the seal of the can and reached out to start a fire.

Maybe because she didn't have dinner, Gray treated Padu as a real can, and took a bite out of her, causing Padu to scream in pain.

"It hurts! I can't eat this!"

Seeing this, Xue and Selina nodded in understanding and opened their suitcases.

Inside, apart from a very small number of clothes, the rest were all various healthy snacks such as dried fruits and vegetables, as well as beef, canned luncheon meat, beef jerky, sausage, bread, and unexpired packaged instant noodles.

"It seems that it was the right thing to bring back these uneaten things."

Seeing the delicious food in the suitcase, Grace, who was biting Padu, suddenly opened her mouth with her eyes shining.

"Wow, so much delicious food!"

"Indeed... huh? Do you smell the braised beef?"

After hearing what Ying said, Paduo followed the smell and walked to Kevin's side, and found that he had cooked all the braised beef noodles that fell out of the fireplace into one pot.

“It’s really braised beef noodles!”

"I cooked instant noodles. Do you want to eat?" Kevin said, turning sideways.

"Wow! Boss Kevin, I admire you so much!" The cat admires and is excited.

"Don't just eat instant noodles. Selina and I have canned meat and bread here."

"Great!!!"

So, all the heroes present started to eat noodles as a team, except for a certain chef.

For the sake of his dignity as a chef, Chef Qian refused to eat instant noodles even though his stomach was rumbling.

“Balanced nutrition is important.”

"Gresh, come here~ dried vegetables."

"Ah~ Thank you, auntie."

Looking at Grayshuin, whose cheeks were puffed up like a little hamster, Xue smiled slightly.

"Huh?" At this moment, the gate of the Golden Courtyard was pushed open, and Eden walked in. Looking at the people who were sipping noodles together, he felt a little confused.

"My dear Eden, you are back~"

"Well, what's going on now?"

"This is a long story..."

……

"I see."

After listening to Ellie's account of the whole story, Eden nodded.

"Thankfully, we have Ms. Padu, Xue, and Selina. It can be considered a coincidence."

"Yeah, if it weren't for them, everyone would still be hungry~"

Hearing this, Maomao felt a little embarrassed and spoke.

"Actually, you don't have to thank me. I got these instant noodles from Boss Kevin, and I never thought of eating them."

"Me?" Kevin was stunned when he heard that.

"Yeah, when you first moved here."

Hearing this, Kevin also remembered.

"At that time, I thought you were really the cat here. You scared me when you spoke."

"Hehe~"

“It always feels like it happened yesterday.”

"Yeah, it's been so long."

Hearing this, Aponya on the side suddenly realized something. This instant noodles... won't...

"Since so much time has passed, is this bowl of noodles still edible?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, only Maomao was still working hard to eat.

"I just checked it, and it's not a big problem."

Xue Zao had just secretly checked the quality of the instant noodles. Although they had been expired for a long time, they were indeed still well preserved.

"That's good."

……

After eating and drinking, it was already late at night and everyone fell asleep in the living room.

Selina leaned on Xue's shoulder and had already fallen into a long-awaited dream as a human being.

As for our Xue, she opened up her perception to the entire Canghai City.

She has not forgotten her mission in this world, and the group of Honkai beasts has not been found yet.

Under the Herrscher's perception, the hidden Honkai beasts were quickly discovered.

Well, it’s quite close, in the forest near the Golden Courtyard. However, the other party is now in a dormant state to recover energy. At this rate, it is expected that he will recover enough to move by tomorrow night.

Taking a look at the sleeping people and Selina who was leaning against her, Xue sighed slightly and said, "Forget it, I'll let you live for another day. I'll deal with you tomorrow night."

Xue gently closed her eyes, intending to rest for a while, but the next second, Pado's scream rang out on the spot.

"What's wrong, Paddo?"

"Phyllis, are you okay?"

"I just had a dream."

"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

"In the dream, everyone disappeared and monsters were everywhere."

"The moon was very round, and I ran for a long, long time holding a small box."

"But in the blink of an eye, you're all gone... and I'm the only one left... alone."

Hearing this, Xue fell silent. She knew that the monster in Padu's dream was real. The so-called dream was actually a fragment of memory of the previous civilization, and the true identity of the monster was the Honkai Beast.

"Okay, okay, relax, we are still here." Ellie held Paddy's hands and comforted her.

"As long as you wake up from the dream, everything will be fine."

"Don't worry, Sister Padu, dreams won't hurt you."

"Take a deep breath, and you'll slowly calm down."

Looking at everyone around her, Padu nodded.

Before we knew it, the sky had brightened and the snow had stopped. Everyone went to the rooftop on the second floor to feel the arrival of a new day and a new year.

"It's a new year again."

"The world turned white!"

"Yeah, it's completely different from usual."

"New year, new beginnings, huh? Kosmo, are you feeling unwell?"

Xue looked at Kosmo, who looked a little unhappy, and asked.

"I'm fine. Actually... I'm just like Padu. I've had similar dreams. We both became heroes, but..."

Kosmo paused.

"We are losers too."

Hearing this, Xue shook her head and looked at Kevin beside her, who understood what she meant.

"As long as we can leave behind a spark of hope...it's not a failure."

"If that day ever comes, I believe we will still unite together. No matter how many times, no matter what the cost, mankind will surely overcome those disasters."

The three of them gazed at the rising horizon in silence.

"Hmm?" Kosmo suddenly realized something and looked at Xue and Kevin.

"Could it be that you also dreamed about it?"

Hearing this, Kevin turned his head away in denial, while Xue frankly confirmed it. After all, it was more than just a dream...

"Let's make a New Year's wish together, maybe it will come true~"

Everyone took turns making their own wishes, some ordinary, some fantastic.

Soon, it was Xue and Selena's turn.

"My wish is similar to Sister Ai Li's. I want to create a paradise where everyone can live happily."

"As for me... I just hope Xue can stay by my side forever."

"Yeah, they're all good wishes."

"Then Kevin, can you tell me your wish?" Everyone looked at Kevin.

"I have three wishes."

“First, I hope the work goes well.”

"Secondly..." Kevin blushed.

"I hope to be in the same city with Mei next year so we can see each other more often."

"Aiya~" Everyone smiled like an auntie.

"Third... I hope that everything I'm experiencing now is real, and then I will continue to strive towards tomorrow."
