Chapter 58 Parting is for the next meeting.
"Flame Lance! Charge!"
Standing atop the snow-capped peak, looking down at the stars constantly testing new weapons, Chen Feng nodded slightly.
He was, after all, a guardian of the preservation order. Although he couldn't directly help people embark on the path of preservation, attracting Kripper's self-light was a piece of cake. In addition, Xing himself had the ability to embark on the path of preservation, so this matter was accomplished smoothly.
"This is too outrageous! This is the first time I've ever seen someone who can embark on three different destinies at the same time." March 7th was filled with disbelief.
You should know that when Xing boarded the Star Train and embarked on the path of exploration, she was already shocked, after all, no one has ever been able to embark on two paths at the same time.
It turned out she underestimated Xing. Two lines were nothing, but this time there were three! That's outrageous!
"Alright, she's different. No one else can do this. Let's go." Chen Feng called to Xing, and the three of them returned to Belloberg City.
The train had already pulled into the spot where Belleburg had originally used to park trains, and was just waiting for Chen Feng and the others to board.
"Dad, look, it's Bronya." Xing smiled as she saw the woman at the front and nudged Chen Feng a few times.
"I saw it, I'm not blind." Chen Feng smiled helplessly and went to meet them. Xing and March 7 smiled when they saw this, but instead of disturbing them, they went to find Xi'er.
"Why did you come out? Why don't you rest properly?" Chen Feng said with concern, looking at Bronya, whose movements were a little strange.
Bronya shook her head and said with a smile, "I'll definitely come to see you off since you're leaving. Don't worry, I know my own body."
"I was afraid you wouldn't know." Chen Feng rolled his eyes, pondered for a moment, then mobilized the protective power within his body, and a golden ring appeared in his palm.
Bronya's face turned red instantly upon seeing this, and those who had been watching were also shocked. Good grief, she's not hiding anything anymore, is she?
"Wow, wow, there's a ring too! Dad's really something!" Xing whispered excitedly.
"Um, this."
"I do!"
Before Chen Feng could explain, Bronya, her pretty face flushed, quickly replied, seemingly impatient.
Seeing this, Chen Feng knew that Bronya seemed to have misunderstood something, but he chose to play along. He took Bronya's hand and slowly slipped the ring onto her ring finger, signifying that she was taken.
"Ahem, this ring contains one-tenth of my power. If you are in mortal danger, it will protect you on its own, and I will also sense the situation and come to your rescue," Chen Feng explained in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Bronya's already flushed cheeks turned even redder, but this was out of anger. "I was all prepared, and you just pulled this on me."
The next second, Chen Feng's face pounced on Bronya, catching her completely off guard. All the atmosphere and shame vanished in that instant.
Time seemed to stretch out during that kiss.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Seele's eyes, which always held a sharp edge and a hint of unruliness, were wide open at this moment, and her mouth was slightly agape.
Xing excitedly and silently clenched her fist, almost jumping up on the spot. Her face was full of undisguised mischievous smiles as she desperately poked March 7th beside her with her elbow.
March 7th covered his face with his hands, but with his fingers wide open, he let out a small, suppressed "woo-wah" sound, clearly quite shocked by this bold and romantic scene.
Jepard stood ramrod straight, his eyes fixed straight ahead, but upon closer inspection, his ears were slightly red, and the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch up very slightly before he quickly regained his serious expression.
Cocolia stood a little distance away, watching her daughter. There was no surprise in her eyes, only deep relief and a trace of barely perceptible sadness.
Hiluva, with one hand on her hip and the other on her chin, wore a playful "I knew it" smile and whistled softly.
This sudden, declarative kiss didn't last long, but for everyone present, it felt long enough to be etched in their memory.
Chen Feng stepped back slightly, his forehead gently touching Bronya's. Looking at her tightly closed eyes, trembling eyelashes, and cheeks as red as ripe apples, he chuckled softly, his voice slightly hoarse: "Now, you know what you need to know."
Bronya then suddenly opened her eyes, her amber eyes shimmering with tears, filled with shyness, sweetness, and a trace of lingering confusion.
She then realized there were so many people around! A strong sense of shame rushed to her head, and she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Instinctively, she wanted to bury her face in Chen Feng's arms.
"Wow—!!!" Xing's cheers finally broke the brief silence. "Dad! Well done!" She led the applause.
March 7th clapped along, her little face flushed with excitement: "So, so romantic! Miss Bronya! Mr. Chen Feng!"
Hearing the applause and cheers, Bronya was even more ashamed. She gently pushed Chen Feng, her voice barely audible, thick with a nasal tone: "You—you really—are too reckless!"
She dared not look at anyone and could only keep her head down.
Chen Feng smiled and shook her hand before raising his head to meet everyone's gaze, especially Xi'er's scrutinizing and complex emotions.
He gestured with his chin toward Xing and March 7th, indicating that they should tone it down.
"Ahem," Cocolia stepped forward at the opportune moment, a gentle smile on her face, to defuse the situation for her daughter. "Alright, children, the train is waiting for you. Bronya, you should say goodbye to Chen Feng too."
Bronya took a deep breath, trying to suppress the blush on her face, and raised her head.
Although her cheeks were still flushed, her eyes had regained the unwavering determination that belonged to a guardian.
Looking at Chen Feng, a thousand words welled up in her heart, but in the end, they all turned into a whisper filled with infinite longing and promise:
Factory! 1
"Have a safe journey—I will—protect this place. We'll wait for you to come back."
"Yes, I know." Chen Feng nodded, his gaze gentle and reassuring. "Take good care of yourself, Ya Ya. Don't overwork yourself. I'm at ease with her here." He gently squeezed her palm.
"Hey! What about us?!" Xing complained. "Bronya, we'll miss you too! Next time you come, take us out for something delicious!"
"Yes, definitely." Bronya finally smiled and nodded vigorously to Star and March 7th. "Thank you, Star, March 7th, Mr. Danheng. Bellberg will always welcome you."
"Let's go!" Chen Feng ruffled Bronya's hair one last time, and under her reluctant gaze, turned and strode towards the train door. Xing and March 7th quickly followed, still excitedly whispering about what had just happened.
"Sister Himeko! Uncle Yang! We're back! And we have some huge news!" Xing shouted as soon as she got into the car.
The hatch slowly closed, isolating the inside from the outside.
Bronya stood there, watching the train until the massive steel structure emitted a deep rumble, slowly rose into the air, and disappeared into the gradually clearing sky of Beloborg as a streak of light.
The sunlight shone on her, warm and comforting.
She subconsciously raised her hand and looked at the simple yet powerful gold ring on her ring finger. There seemed to be a tiny, wind-like engraving on the inside of the ring.
The heat on my cheeks had not yet completely subsided, but the heavy sorrow of parting in my heart was enveloped by a more steadfast warmth.
Seele walked to her side, followed her gaze to the sky, and after a moment of silence, spoke in a rare, less barbed tone: "—That guy, he actually has some sense of responsibility."
Bronya withdrew her gaze, gently stroking the ring, feeling the power it contained and the warmth left by Chen Feng.
She took a deep breath of the long-missed, sun-kissed air in Belleburg, her eyes becoming incredibly determined.
A new era has begun, and she will carry this power and promise to protect this reborn planet and await his return.
