88: Taking a walk with my brother is the right thing to do.

"Brother, what's wrong with me?"

Vivian struggled to sit up, and the question blurted out, causing her to freeze—

She could actually speak freely with her mouth!

One must know, in the past, she could only barely speak when she was emotionally agitated!

Some kind of miraculous change had already occurred in her.

"Did you forget? You fainted right after we finished off the demon seed," Meng Yun said gently, his eyes full of doting affection: "It took me a lot of effort to wake you up~"

At this moment, although Meng Yun's lifespan was at its end, there was no change in his strength or appearance.

After all, he wasn't aging normally.

Vivian nodded blankly, seeing no flaw in Meng Yun.

"Brother, how long have I been asleep?"

"One day? Two days?" Meng Yun pretended to count on his fingers: "I can't remember either..."

"Let's go, let's go out for a walk. They should be waiting for you, the Holy Maiden hero, to deliver a victory speech!"

Meng Yun suggested, waving his hand to dispel the Level 9 Supreme Defense spell.

Outside, the sky was bright.

Ruyi, who had been dozing against the barrier, lost its balance and rolled directly into the room.

Meng Yun picked it up, amused: "What, couldn't you wait?"

Ruyi saw Meng Yun and meowed: "Meow!"

Meng Yun, are you okay!

This cat is counting on you to take care of me in my old age!

Meng Yun gave it a look, signaling it not to say what it shouldn't, then put it on the ground.

Truth be told, with many body parts gone, the pain from the Hellfire burning was much less.

Although Meng Yun was dying, he felt a long-lost sense of clarity.

"Let's go, Vivian, let's see our brave new world!"

"Okay, Brother!" Vivian smiled sweetly, intimately and naturally linking arms with Meng Yun, the two of them walked out of the door, closely nestled together.

Don't mind that the two of them referred to each other as siblings.

But who wouldn't think they were a young couple upon seeing them?

Only the two of them didn't think so!

Now, the streets of Newt City were adorned with lanterns and decorations everywhere.

Although this world didn't have a Spring Festival, ever since the victory of the apocalyptic battle three days ago, they had a new holiday—Saintess Day!

It was to commemorate the immense sacrifices made by countless benevolent individuals under the leadership of Holy Maiden Vivian to achieve victory!

Of course, the foremost and number oneMerits (gōngxūn - meritorious service/achievement) belonged to Father Eastern Abyss, who was by Vivian's side!

At this moment, the two appeared together on the streets of Newt City, instantly causing a frenzy among the citizens.

"Oh my god, it's Father and Holy Maiden!"

"Are they... are they together?"

"What nonsense! How can Father be with the Holy Maiden!?"

"Speaking of which, who still remembers there was a Divine Son Meng Yun?"

Amidst various benevolent discussions, Meng Yun and Vivian strolled leisurely through the streets, full of interest.

Ruyi followed closely and silently, walking with a cat-like gait, as if afraid Meng Yun would suddenly disappear.

Its perception was exceptionally keen and had never been wrong.

Although this frontline city still bore the scars of war everywhere, what now filled the faces of the citizens was only a yearning for a new life.

Unbeknownst to them, Meng Yun led Vivian to the trade market at the entrance of Newt City.

He pointed to a stall and said: "It was here that I was discovered and recognized. I thought Statham had come after me. But..."

He looked at Vivian, a amused expression on his face: "But I didn't expect it was you who sent people to chase me, making me sleep in the wilderness for a month!"

Vivian blinked, her pretty face slightly red, and she mumbled unwillingly: "It's not Vivian, she just missed Brother too much..."

"But it also indirectly pushed me to think of a solution."

Vivian quickly answered: "Disguising as Eastern Abyss? That name is so strange, is there any special meaning to it?"

Meng Yun pondered for a moment: "How should I put it... he was a potential enemy from before?"

If he were to introduce Eastern Abyss, it would mean he would have to completely reveal the story of his soul transmigrating here.

He would probably have to tell her, but Meng Yun didn't want to say it now, as it would disrupt the atmosphere too much.

"Enemy... Eastern Abyss..."

Vivian silently noted this information in her mind.

She would go back and investigate what other connections this person had, and if she found any suspicious characters—

She'd scramble their eggs and scatter their ashes!

But now was not the time for that.

Walking with her brother in the market was the proper thing to do.

"Brother, I want to eat this, buy it for me!" Vivian pointed at a pink donut, her face full of anticipation.

"Meow!"

This cat wants to eat too!

During the long wait, the girl had already understood the use of money.

Brother earns, sister spends!

"No, no need to pay, Holy Maiden is free!" The vendor stammered.

"Money, it still needs to be given, everyone has it tough..." Meng Yun took out a silver coin, waiting for the vendor to give change.

"Huh? Brother, why did you give him one coin, and he returned five to you, plus a free donut?" Vivian held the donut, looking innocent.

"Meow?"

Yeah meow, and why didn't he buy one for it!

Is it just because cats can't eat chocolate!

Meng Yun and the vendor exchanged glances and burst into hearty laughter simultaneously.

Vivian learned, but only a little bit.

Although the girl vaguely understood that she had made a fool of herself, what did it matter in front of her brother?

While eating, she dragged Meng Yun around, and in a short while, Meng Yun's hands were filled with several bags, mostly containing flashy but impractical trinkets.

But since Vivian liked them, what did it matter to buy more?

They didn't know how many hours they had wandered, but in any case, the two of them went from when the sun was high until it began to set in the west.

Even with Meng Yun's divine body, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.

So, are girls naturally born to shop?

Meng Yun plopped down on a long bench, pretending to rest.

"Brother, we still need to go over there to buy Tang people, and we need to stick flower paper, and we need to... buy a souvenir crystal ball!" Vivian tugged at Meng Yun's arm, swaying back and forth:

"Brother, just come with me~"

"Let me rest for a bit~" Meng Yun let Vivian shake him, remaining unmoving.

"Then, you can only rest for a little while~" Vivian, helpless, had no choice but to sit down beside Meng Yun:

"We still have to return to Saintess City to hold a grand ceremony..."

"We still have to travel across mountains and rivers, see every landscape in the world..."

"We still have to eat so many delicious things, play so many fun things..."

"We, we, we..."

"We still have to be together for a very, very long time..."

"A very, very long time..."

The girl's sobbing voice reached Meng Yun's ears.

Meng Yun turned his head to look.

Vivian was already in tears.

It turned out, she had known everything all along.
