Chapter 5 Creation

"Pfft!"
As the stone struck, anticipating the hardness of the can, Yun Fuyu used almost all her strength to smash the sharp end of the stone against the edge of the can.
But the result was quite unexpected. The thick tinplate shattered the stone, but Yun Fuyu's fist smashed the can to pieces! The stone fragments pierced the thick flesh of his palm, and the contents of the can, unfortunately, were extremely spicy, covering his wound. Combined with the reaction force of the hard tinplate, the next moment Yun Fuyu shook his hand, gasping for breath in pain!
Xier was also stunned. She smashed the thick can into pieces with one punch. Was Yun Fuyu's inability to move the stone slab yesterday just an act?
But that's not important. Sharing the same boat, Seele quickly grabbed a bottle of water and said, "Give me your hands, I'll help you wash them."
Yun Fuyu obediently reached out his hand. Xi'er first helped him rinse it, then held his wrist and looked at his palm with many pebbles embedded in it, and couldn't help but frown.
Seele: "With so many pebbles, my body probably can't heal on its own. I have to pick them out."
Yun Fuyu was still sweating profusely from the pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xier, don't you have sewing needles in your camp? Use them to pick it out for me."
Although the thought of it is painful, wound infection is no joke. What if he gets tetanus? Does that mean he can die again and travel back in time?
Seele made up her mind, hurriedly pulled him away from the basement, and did not forget to try to cover the entrance before returning to the camp.
Seele crawled into the narrow hole, took out a sewing needle, and then crawled out again. She quickly washed the needle with water, then knelt in the dust, holding Yun Fuyu's wrist tightly with one hand, and began to carefully pick through the needle with the other.
It hurts, it really hurts.
The needle pierced through flesh, picking out pebbles of varying sizes. Her already mangled hands were now an even more gruesome sight. But Yun Fuyu, watching Xi'er's earnest expression and the maturity that rivaled that of an adult on her youthful face, didn't even gasp; she was even somewhat mesmerized.
Xi'er was also quite scared. Anyone with a little medical knowledge knows that while a scratch may seem minor, the possibility of tetanus infection is always a concern. Since she was in the same boat as Yun Fuyu and had even found the resources to survive with him, she naturally had to worry about his safety.
So stay calm, Seele! You won't be afraid!
Silently encouraging herself, Seele continued rummaging through the flesh, picking out the rubble bit by bit. After what seemed like an eternity, feeling mostly safe, she rinsed away the blood again with water.
Seele suddenly looked up, a little embarrassed and annoyed, because she felt Yun Fuyu's gaze lingering on her for a long time. But when she met the boy's eyes, those clear eyes didn't hold the greed she had imagined, but rather an indescribable...joy?
very strange.
Seele shook her head, not caring, and said, "We don't have anything to stop the bleeding. The clothes are fine, but we need to boil them in hot water to disinfect them."
Another meaning is that if you do this, you also need to find heat-resistant utensils, fire-starting materials, and a rack to put the utensils. After the clothes are disinfected and dried, Yun Fuyu will either heal on his own or die from excessive blood loss.
Therefore, Seele gave up on that option and instead took Yun Fuyu's hand and placed it between her eyebrows.
She said, "It's only because you've always wanted to take care of Seele. Seele has never dared to let others see this strength."
As Seele finished speaking, a dazzling light slowly surged from her palm. The warm, milky white light gradually covered Yun Fuyu's wound, and the pain gradually subsided. When the light faded, his hand had been completely healed.
Although it was a good thing, Yun Fuyu, who knew some of the plot, couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart—if she wasn't mistaken, this was clearly the power of creation! It should be known that although the Herrscher of Death's name is "Death," she wields the dual powers of creation and decay. The Divine Keys Black Abyss and White Flower, created later using the Herrscher of Death's core, are precisely manifestations of these two different powers.
The possibility that Seele, who stood before him, was the Herrscher of Death had risen to 90% in Yun Fuyu's mind.
On the surface, Yun Fuyu tried her best to remain calm and said earnestly, "Thank you, Xi'er. I will keep it a secret for you."
Xi'er glanced at him, remembering what happened last night, and her eyes couldn't help but look strange. Yun Fuyu noticed her strange look and was about to swear an oath to prove it when he heard Xi'er say, "Yes, I believe you."
These few simple words possess an indescribable power.
Yun Fuyu suddenly felt a surge of confidence. He flexed his wrist; the injury in his hand seemed to have completely healed. He then encouraged himself, "Xier, let's change camps. That underground warehouse is clearly in better condition; with some modifications, we might even be able to get a shower."
The second half of the sentence clearly touched Seele's heartstrings. You see, since this place became ruins, Seele had only taken a bath once in a whole month. For a young girl in the prime of her life, especially with Yun Fuyu standing before her, even cleaner than herself, how embarrassing must that be?
With Xi'er nodding in agreement, Yun Fuyu began helping her pack for her "move." However, as Xi'er packed, she suddenly realized something was amiss—had she trusted Yun Fuyu far too much?
Damn it, Seele's personal belongings are here! How can I let him help me pack them up!
So, completely bewildered, Yun Fuyu was kicked out and humiliatingly crawled away through the hole...
It's truly a case of good intentions leading to strange outcomes.
After a while, Xi'er called out from behind the wall to let Yun Fuyu come in. Then she pointed to the three bundles of things neatly arranged on the ground. Before she could speak, Yun Fuyu picked up one bundle with each hand.
...Hmm, something's not right?
Seeing Xi'er struggling to carry just one bundle, Yun Fuyu swung it up and down with some doubt. Experience told him that the bundle weighed at least twenty pounds, but the feeling in his hands told him that it was as light as two books.
So Yun Fuyu simply tossed the burden aside and easily caught it, and under Xi'er's amused (or perhaps dumbfounded) gaze, he suddenly realized something.
He said, "Seele, I don't know why, but my strength has obviously increased a lot. Give me your pack too."
Seele tilted her head, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Are you sure everything's okay?"
Yun Fuyu: "Absolutely. Didn't you see me smashing cans like they were eggs?"
Yun Fuyu wondered if he was some kind of genius like Kevin, one in a million with high Honkai energy resistance? Otherwise, it would be hard to explain his power surge in the Honkai world.
Because Xier couldn't figure out what happened last night, she didn't say anything, which is why Yun Fuyu is still completely unaware of the changes in her body.
