Chapter 145: Li He Tian's Inner Thoughts

"???"

Many people were puzzled by this.

"Does this mean… Li He Tian is… a transgender person?"

Chen Wenrui, who considered himself well-informed, found this rather surprising. However, at this time, transgender identities hadn't become a popular topic for discourse, so while some found it hard to accept, it wasn't a subject for ridicule. People remained more focused on the plot of "Flame Fist."

In the following chapters, after Yuda was taken away by the Ice Witch, she learned that she and Li He Tian were the last two humans to have undergone re-evolution. They were entrusted with the mission to "become trees, absorb the life of the old world, and create the life of the new world."

Meanwhile, Agni caught up with Li He Tian.

"Enough."

Li He Tian, seemingly annoyed, told Agni.

"Don't follow me, idiot!"

However, Agni had developed deep feelings for Li He Tian during this time.

"Wasn't it you who followed me first, idiot!"

"Who are you calling an idiot?!"

"You're just a little brat!"

"A brat! A brat! A brat!"

Faced with Li He Tian's childish behavior, Agni finally lost his patience. He didn't want to lose anyone else.

"Compared to you! I really am just a brat!"

"If Li He Tian weren't here, I wouldn't know what to do!"

"Because I'm just a brat, I don't understand anything on my own!"

"And the people I saved, they all expect me to help them…"

"It's their one-sided expectations; I don't know what to do…"

"But I want to help them till the end!"

Saying this, Agni's expression turned despondent, "I don't want to see the people I care about die in front of me anymore…"

"I can't accept that…"

However, Li He Tian responded to Agni's plea, "What did you think when you heard I was a man?"

Agni fell silent.

"What did you think?"

Li He Tian pressed further.

"I thought it was a joke from that masked guy."

Agni explained.

"But you thought I might be a man too, right?"

"B-but you have a bear!"

"How could I think you're a man!"

"But didn't that guy say he had mind-reading abilities?"

Agni faltered, saying, "There was a slight… how to say… though it's hard to explain, I did think you might be a man…"

"Just that little bit…"

"Just that little bit…"

Li He Tian said, "It's as painful as you can't stand seeing the people you care about die…"

"Why?"

"Because I hate it! I hate it!"

Li He Tian, usually calm, suddenly broke down in tears.

"You won't understand…"

"I don't understand!"

Agni, losing his temper, said, "If you don't explain clearly, how would I understand?!"

Finally… Li He Tian exploded!

"My mind is clearly male, but my body is female!"

She cried out in frustration, "Even if I explain, you won't understand this… this body…"

"I'm clearly a man… but my body and voice are female…"

"The more I realize this, the more disgusted I feel!"

"Whether it's waking up or in the morning, anytime, I feel so nauseous I want to vomit…"

"Because it's so disgusting, I tried to get surgery to become a man, but my regeneration ability messed it up…"

"You wouldn't understand, trash!"

"There's no other option but to accept myself as a woman!"

Seeing this, male manga fans fell silent.

If they imagined themselves in Li He Tian's shoes, feeling like a man but being trapped in a woman's body, the humiliation would indeed be unbearable.

Men often pride themselves on masculinity and self-image, with a strong sense of pride and aversion to anything considered effeminate. Li He Tian, though biologically female, psychologically felt male and was repulsed by her female identity, even undergoing surgery to change, only to have her regeneration revert her to a female form. This was her greatest suffering.

"This is indeed very painful…"

Chen Wenrui started to understand Li He Tian's feelings a bit better, empathizing with her suffering. It was something a man could hardly endure.

Of course, this does not include those with perverse inclinations.

"I somewhat understand now…"

Agni suddenly said.

"You're lying! You're clearly a man!"

"That's unrelated!"

"Of course, it is!"

"It's just like how you are a god!"

Li He Tian shouted at Agni, "Everything people expect—voice, appearance, gender, height, physique—is all about your outer appearance!"

"Not just outsiders, even you are influenced by your own appearance…"

"That's why I'm so frustrated!!"

In a fit of rage, Li He Tian couldn't help but add, "Just like with your sister…"

At that moment, she covered her mouth, stopping herself from saying more.

"Just go away…"

Li He Tian wiped her tears and said, "I can't meet anyone's expectations anymore…"

"Because… you hate this Li He Tian too, right?"

"You also expect that… crazy, disorderly female Li He Tian…"

"So do I, because if I were just an ordinary man, I couldn't survive in this world."

"As long as you try hard enough, you can become who you want to be."

"But I absolutely can't…"

"Because I've already gone mad once, and I don't remember much about it…"

Yet Agni did not give up. During their exchange, he sincerely said, "If I had a sister, she'd probably be like Li He Tian…"

"Wh… what?"

Li He Tian turned to look at Agni.

"Li He Tian, what you said is new and exciting to me!"

"When I talk to you, I can forget the pain!"

"It's like when I talk to my sister, I can forget all the troubles of this messed-up world…"

"So…"

"Be my sister?"

Agni sincerely asked Li He Tian.

At that moment, Li He Tian looked at him in disbelief, making him awkward, "Or should I call you older sister instead?"

Li He Tian! My favorite character in "Flame Fist"! Forgive me for my bias!

Also, I saw the monthly votes, and it's enough. I'll directly update ten chapters on my weekend break.

By then, it should be ten chapters filled with "substance" without any original plot content.
