Chapter 161: It's a Dream, Elder Sister

"Bang!"

Kiana once again opened the coffin in her dream. No, she kicked the coffin, sending it flying.

"Same pattern, same size, same coffin and door. Great, it's the same dream!" Kiana clapped her hands excitedly.

Then her lively expression disappeared. She took a deep breath and walked out the door resolutely.

No matter what, today she must figure out what these indescribable and infuriating things are, Kiana swore.

Outside the door was the same experimental base as last night. Kiana, familiar with the path, rushed toward the prison without saying a word.

"01, hurry up, it's your turn today, follow me!"

"No... I don't want to..."

"Pow!"

"Do you think you have a choice? Hurry up, don't waste our time, go!"

Unexpectedly, there was no long wait today. As soon as Kiana arrived outside the prison, she witnessed the scene of the little girl being taken away roughly. The red cheeks and the young eyes full of fear and resentment made Kiana clench her fists in anger.

It was a pity she was just a bystander and could do nothing. Kiana took a deep breath again and forced herself to calm down.

'Is this cage the trigger point of the scene?' Kiana couldn't help but guess and noted this discovery.

"Confirm once more, have all the current parameters been set?"

"Everything is ready!"

"Come, let's see if the current and the state of extreme pain can stimulate stronger energy!"

The calm and indifferent conversation between the experimenters sounded like the whisper of a devil in Kiana's ears, exuding a chilling darkness and malice.

"Ah!!!"

Then came the extremely painful scream of the little girl. After the fierce struggle, there was another unbearable ending. The little girl was like a tattered rag, lying motionless on the operating table. If it weren't for the weak breathing in her chest, she would probably be no different from a dead person—or in other words, death might be a better ending for her.

"Damn it!" Kiana gritted her teeth and scanned the faces of the experimenters one by one. She had to remember these faces so that she could confront them in the future, smashing them with all her strength.

The next second, the little girl, who was limp and motionless, returned to her original trembling appearance of being bound as if time had gone backward.

"This... is not right. The experimental equipment is not the same as before." Kiana touched her eyes and realized in a trance that it was not time going backward, but the scene jumping to the time of the next experiment.

"AD0013 potion injected, Honkai energy input device ready, experiment begins!"

Different experimental equipment, the same desperate screams, the same lifeless and terrible ending. Then the scene turned again. Kiana saw various medicines and liquids being injected, saw different equipment hurting the little girl's body and mind, and saw the indifference and malice of the experimenters from beginning to end, even sarcasm.

"Why do you want to do this?" Kiana couldn't help but squeeze her arms tightly, unable to control herself, and took two steps back trembling.

This terrible scene revealed the darkness of human nature that Kiana didn't want to think about before, making her feel suffocated. Then, Kiana heard the exact same question from the little girl.

"Why... do this..."

"Of course, it's to study the mechanism of Honkai energy and develop stronger stigmata for the Valkyrie of Schicksal! This is a necessary sacrifice to defeat Honkai, just accept your fate!"

"Schicksal... Valkyrie... for this kind of thing..." The little girl tied to the operating table like a puppet murmured. Her childish voice revealed a faint chill, like mockery, like sadness.

And Kiana looked up suddenly. Vaguely, Kiana felt some changes. Sadness, fear, despair—the emotions lingering on the unfortunate little girl seemed to have unconsciously transformed into something else in the constantly jumping time—like a ball of fire, a raging fire that would devour everything.

Kiana subconsciously walked to the operating table. "Wait, don't give up, I will find you and save you!"

"Find me? It's too late."

"Even if... you can hear me?" Kiana's hair stood on end, and her anxious mood was replaced by a sense of horror. Then there was a strong surprise.

"Tell me where this is, I'll save you now!"

"Why save?" The little girl tilted her head, and flames ignited on her long purple hair. Then, the whole laboratory was ablaze. The flames engulfed everything, and the scorching heat forced Kiana to retreat.

"What happened?"

"Are you here to laugh at me, K423?" The mixed voices of a little girl and a young girl came from the fiercely burning operating table.

Kiana raised her hand to block the strong flames. Through the gaps between her fingers, she saw the outline of the little girl in the flames, gradually growing into a familiar graceful figure.

Then, the aloof queen with silver hair and golden eyes stepped out of the sparks, pinched Kiana's neck, and lifted her up high.

"Hmph! Finally found you, the wild monkey running around here!"

"Ahem! Who are you?"

"Is it fun to deceive yourself? You haven't really forgotten everything, have you? Fake doll, K423!" The Herrscher of the Void, whose delicate face was exactly the same as Kiana's, had a hint of mockery in her golden eyes.

"Crack!"

She broke Kiana's neck. The progress was a bit too fast—Angel turned around and walked out of the sea of fire, thinking and planning to adjust the subsequent layout.

Then, the foot wearing the metal high heel suddenly struck the ground.

Angel looked back in surprise and saw that Kiana's body who fell into the flames and did not disappear from the dream as expected but absorbed the flames and stood up again.

Kiana walked slowly toward Angel with a resolute look, wearing familiar white tights and a silver-gray sword and shield.

"Sure enough, this is my dream. As long as my thoughts are strong enough, I can do anything!" Kiana raised the big shield, raised the long sword, and made a defensive counterattack posture.

Angel twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.

What can I do? It is true that we share dreams, but the difference in the strength of our thoughts is like the brilliance of fireflies compared to the brilliance of the bright moon. If I hadn't tried my best to control and not oppress your mental will, your mind would have become a bubble teapot!

However, the dream world that can be controlled at will does have many new ways to explore. Angel couldn't help but twist her mind. And Kiana confidently knocked the shield with the long sword, making a clear metallic sound.

"Don't think I'm so easy to deal with. I'm completely different with a sword and a shield! Today, I'm going to force out all the truths from your mouth! So be prepared!"

Then, Angel turned and walked into the sea of fire. After a careless snap of her fingers, the overwhelming Sub-space Lances came from all directions, sending the defiant Kiana out of the dream world.

…

It was the same late night. Sirin opened her eyes dazedly, and in the beautiful sky garden palace with birds singing and flowers blooming, she blinked blankly and found an extremely delicate little face in front of her. She rested her head on the other's white and soft thighs, and her mouth was wet and sweet.

"Where is this?"

"It's a dream, elder sister."

"...I knew you were playing around!"

Sirin had long known the deception of the Power of Dominance. Angel, who used the identity of Tachibana Yuki, had shown various powers in front of her, which once made Sirin doubt whether the Herrscher who held six cores during the second great collapse was the Herrscher of the Void or the Herrscher of Dominance?

Sirin rolled her eyes and sat up from Angel's lap pillow. Then, she found that Angel here was her original appearance—a cute little girl with blonde hair and purple eyes, not the delicate appearance of a noble princess with long black hair like Tachibana Yuki.

"What do you want to do again?"

"Hehe, nothing, I just mastered the ability of dreams recently, and I want to bring my sister to play together."

"You must want to do those messy things again!" Sirin put her fingers into the hateful little mouth that didn't blush when lying and pulled Angel's mouth open with a fake smile. Because she was very unhappy, Sirin thought about teaching this naughty little villain a lesson.

As this thought came up, the next second, Angel was tied up with a black belt and fell to the ground, unable to move.

Sirin was stunned for a moment, and a strange look gradually appeared on her face. "You, you are not..."

"After all, this is a dream built for my elder sister, so of course, my elder sister can do whatever she wants!" Angel said obediently, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Sirin innocently.

Sirin's mouth twitched. With a wave of her hand, the little skirt on Angel disappeared. Angel's little face suddenly turned red, and she blinked shyly and said:

"My elder sister, please... please have mercy on me..."

The weak and tender voice had a certain attraction that made people's blood boil.

So is it a pure role play today?

Sirin subconsciously hooked her fingers and swallowed her saliva.

Then, she stretched out her hands with three points of eagerness, three points of impatience, three points of interest, and ninety-one points of excitement that she herself did not understand.

Chapter 162 Psychological Counseling

Anyone with eyes can see that Kiana is not in the right state recently.

It’s okay for her to be distracted in class; she is always like this, it’s not abnormal. However, when the bell rings, she is often indifferent, and even during her favorite time of eating, she is a little absent-minded. This problem is very serious.

Raiden Mei is so anxious that she can’t sit still.

“Kiana, what’s wrong with you?”

“I’m fine, Mei, I’m just thinking about some problems.”

Kiana always replies like this, and then acts as if nothing has happened. But in fact, she continues to be distracted and anxious.

For Raiden Mei, this is like a fire alarm ringing in her ears. She hurried to the classroom door and said to the friends who were waiting for her to get the news:

"It's over, it's over. Kiana never thinks about problems so seriously. What should we do?!"

Her panicked words and the cold sweat on her face showed her fear.

Everyone was speechless.

Angel complained with a wooden face:

"I can't tell whether Mei is worried about Kiana or insulting her."

"..."× N

No matter how speechless they were, they all understood that something was wrong with Kiana.

The reason was simple. A silly girl who usually only had food, drink, and fun on her mind suddenly became serious. Either she was holding back something big, or something really happened.

For a while, everyone began to think about what had happened recently and tried to find clues.

Only Angel, who knew what was going on, slipped back to the classroom. She squatted down beside Kiana's desk, crawled in, and with her petite body, she squeezed through the gap between Kiana and the desk, then she went inside her clothes, Finally, she successfully pushed open Kiana's white rabbits and looked into her eyes, nose touching nose.

"...Angel?"

"You're having a nightmare again."

Angel said expressionlessly, in a completely affirmative tone. She completely ignored the exclamations of classmates in the classroom because of this overly intimate action, and many of them even blushed with excitement.

Kiana was stunned for a moment, her long feather-tipped eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she laughed dryly:

"How could I be troubled by a mere nightmare? Hahaha!"

"If you can't stand it, I can stop you from dreaming temporarily."

"What are you talking about? Honkai beasts are easy to fight, but how can you stop something like dreams? Kick me off the bed when I'm dreaming?"

"So, you don't deny that it was because of the dream."

Angel touched Kiana's head, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and the mechanical little face suddenly softened, revealing a bit of warmth.

Kiana's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously avoided Angel's gentle gaze, and muttered helplessly:

"Why do I feel like I can't hide anything from you?"

"Because I care about Kiana very much."

"Tsk! I don't believe you, you only care about Aunt Himeko."

"I care about Kiana too."

Angel said sincerely. Then she reached out and hugged Kiana's little head, gently caressing it, and said slowly in a gentle tone of coaxing a child:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare, we are all by your side. Don't be afraid, go to sleep, you won't have any more strange dreams today, Kiana."

It's not the original sad timeline that has been irreversibly sad. The truth must be conveyed and psychological counseling must be done. There is no need to let Kiana bear too much mental pressure.

Angel thought so.

"Ding-ling-ling!"

The crisp class bell rang on time.

But in Kiana's feelings, the petite and cute best friend caressed her with the warmest and most comfortable method, and the relaxing faint fragrance passed through the clothes to her nose—the bell at this time was more like a lullaby that made people fall asleep after the mood was relieved.

'Is this what they call lullaby of a mother...'

The white-haired girl, leaning in the arms of the cute little girl, gradually fell asleep.

At first glance, it was a very dreamy and beautiful picture. The premise is to ignore the sprayer in Angel's hand—everyone can recognize that this is one of the standard items of the logistics department, a scientifically formulated sleeping alcohol spray.

"Himeko, I'll take Kiana back first."

"Well, take her back to have a good rest."

Himeko waved her hand with relief.

Then, she reached out and grabbed Raiden Mei and Bronya who were trying to follow.

"She is the dean's niece. It doesn't matter whether she goes to class or not. Why are you two joining in the fun? Sit down obediently, I'm going to class!"

Himeko glared at the two of them with a bad look.

Raiden Mei and Bronya both shrank their necks, speechless, and had to suppress their emotions and go back to the classroom for class.

...

Angel carried Kiana all the way back to her room.

Afterwards, looking at the messy room where Kiana's underwear and stockings were thrown away, she put her hands on her hips, sighed, and then rolled up her sleeves.

After the silent and quick cleaning, Angel came to Kiana who was still sleeping, stretched out her hand, and poked her soft little face.

"You are sleeping so soundly..."

"You must be very distressed?"

"But, keep working hard, Kiana."

Angel encouraged softly, looking at this white-haired girl who she had liked for a long time, it was like seeing a child who was slowly growing up.

After the cleaning was done, Angel looked at the tidy room, and then decided to make some delicious food to fill Kiana's stomach after she woke up.

Kiana slept a dreamless and relaxed sleep.

After waking up, she looked at the unfamiliar room and tilted her head in a daze:

"Where am I?"

"In your own room."

"Huh?"

Kiana looked around, a little unsure.

Angel shook her head speechlessly—how much does this guy like to clean the room? After it was cleaned, she couldn't recognize it, right?

However, Angel didn't want to criticize anything. After all, Himeko wasn't much better, and whether it was Himeko or Kiana, Angel was willing and able to take good care of them.

Angel dragged Kiana into the bathroom, washed her face, fixed her hair, changed her school uniform into a home shirt and shorts, and then led her downstairs and put out the freshly baked small cakes.

"Wow! This is super delicious!"

"Drink some tea, don't choke."

"Hmmmm!"

Kiana's eyes lit up, and she ate seven or eight small cakes in a gulp. Just when she wanted to continue, Angel took the rest away.

Angel pointed at Kiana with her white finger and said:

"Save some room for dinner, these are for others."

"Eh!?"

Kiana watched the delicious food being taken away with tears in her eyes.

But the warmed stomach and the back of the apron-wearing girl carrying the cake plate to the kitchen did give her a long-lost sense of ease and satisfaction.

"That's great! Whoever can marry Angel will definitely live a happy life..."

Chapter 163 Request

Whether it is a happy thing or something else, if you want to do it, you must do it well. This is Angel's character.

After giving Kiana a nap and feeding her, the next step is to further relax her body and mind to get enough energy.

Angel spread a soft mat on the ground and said to Kiana, who was lying on the sofa:

"Come here, take off your shirt and lie down."

"Ah? What do you want to do?"

Kiana asked blankly.

However, out of trust in Angel, she did not resist. She took off her shirt naturally. Her skin, like white jade, appeared in the air, which was so beautiful that it was a bit dazzling.

Kiana covered her big white rabbits with one hand, came to the mat as she was told, lay down, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah! It's really comfortable to lie flat, especially since today is Friday, and I should have been in class."

"It's just because you've been in a bad mental state recently. Under normal circumstances, you can't skip classes!"

"Yes, yes~~"

Kiana squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

Then, she saw Angel take off her slippers and white socks, gently lift her skirt that was not long to begin with, and shrink her round and smooth feet unconsciously in front of Kiana. Then she gently stepped on Kiana's back.

"Eh? So light!"

Kiana was very surprised by the weight on her back.

Angel slowed down her breathing, gently stepped on Kiana's back, and asked:

"I just washed my feet, so I won't dirty yours. But I've just started to learn back massage. Himeko said it's pretty good. How do you feel?"

"Ah, light and soft, great~~"

Kiana squinted her eyes intoxicatedly. Rather than intoxicated, it was more like being in bliss. At this point, the skills are not important. The mere presence of a Loli itself is already delightful. Impropriety would undoubtedly stain this pure joy, and she would be beaten.

It is a basic principle, even if wearing long leather boots for a whole day, there will be no strange smell!

"Hmph!"

"Don't be angry, Angel. How about I take you out to play and treat you to a big meal this weekend?"

"Not so good. You must want to take me out as a portable pillow!"

"Hehe, don't say that!"

Kiana was embarrassed and giggled when her thoughts were exposed.

After a while, under the light and precise massage, Kiana exhaled a long breath and whispered:

"Thank you, Angel, I'm much better now."

"It's not over yet. There will be a full-body massage to activate blood circulation, foot massage, and then stretching. After sweating, take a hot shower. Then you will feel really comfortable."

"Well, it sounds great!"

It's so great that she wants to keep Angel at home more and more. At that time, one will be responsible for making money to support the family, and the other will be responsible for the quality of life. We will definitely live happily until we are ninety-nine!

Kiana couldn't help but daydream.

However, after continuing to enjoy the comfort, the previous troubles and worries still came back.

Kiana didn't want to think anymore, so she asked sullenly:

"Angel, have you ever thought about how the artificial stigmata of Schicksal came about?"

"I don't know. I am a natural awakener and don't need to transplant artificial stigmata, so I don't know much. But..."

"But what?"

"But if you think about it a little, you will understand that the incredible technology that allows people who originally only have weak Honkai adaptability to gain the power to kill Honkai beasts head-on, the cost and sacrifice behind it are probably so heavy that we can't imagine it."

Angel knew what Kiana was exploring.

And the truth about the artificial stigmata is also part of Kiana's origin, so there is no need to hide anything.

Kiana was silent for a while, with a complicated and heavy mood. After that, she reluctantly pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled:

"So, this is the so-called necessary sacrifice?"

"From the perspective of the entire civilization, it is like this. But for those who are in it, it is another matter. I think only when we are in it can we know how to face it."

Angel controlled the strength of her feet and said calmly.

A grain of sand in the era, falling on an individual, is a mountain that is enough to crush everything.

From the perspective of an outsider, you can certainly say that the experiment of Schicksal is right, because it is indeed to enhance the power of the Valkyrie and increase the success rate of fighting against the Honkai. However, for the person involved, Sirin, the things that crushed her were pure darkness and malice.

So there is no pure black and white, only each side, which is the tragedy of the era.

Of course, when the situation developed to the final point, Otto, the troublemaker, also played an irreplaceable role, and this point must be emphasized.

Kiana recalled the speculations she had made in the past few days, including that person's identity, the meaning of K423, and the truth about her other self. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that a lot of dark secrets were hanging over her heart, making her want to uncover them like crazy, but she was also afraid that after uncovering the dark secrets, there would be a more terrifying darkness that would engulf everything.

Finally, she sighed in giving up and said:

"Angel, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Go ahead."

"Help me check the information about the Babylon Experiment Tower, and don't tell anyone else."

"Okay."

Angel responded simply, because she knew what Kiana wanted to know, so there was no need to ask why.

Kiana's eyes were a little hot. She was afraid of all the speculations about herself these days, so she didn't dare to tell anyone. Kiana made a great decision to make this request, and Angel's straightforwardness was undoubtedly the most appropriate response to her needs.

"Don't you ask why?"

"I just know that Kiana needs my help, so I will definitely help you."

"Any time?"

"Of course, any time!"

Angel nodded sincerely and seriously.

Kiana moved her lips, wanting to say thank you, but then felt that it was unnecessary. She just smiled, sniffed her sour nose, and enjoyed Angel's care at ease.

As the sun was setting, people who went to work and class went home one after another.

But today, Himeko's house was particularly quiet, and everyone who walked into the living room lowered their voices with a smile.

Because on the sofa in the living room, Kiana rested her head on Angel's legs, and Angel's hand was on Kiana's white hair. The two girls were sleeping soundly, making even breathing sounds that were almost synchronized, like a frozen warm picture.

Chapter 164: Feeling Not as Good as Angel

Theresa has been a bit annoyed recently.

It's not because her naughty niece is suspected of having mental problems. After all, the Kaslana bloodline has always been strange, and she has an unusually tenacious vitality. Besides, with Angel, Raiden Mei, and others taking care of her, Kiana won't get into any big trouble.

The reason for her distress is that—

"Ah, what should I do with Angel's A-rank promotion file!?"

The majestic school principal had just finished today's slacking off and humming comic appreciation activity. When she turned on the computer, the promotion file was lying right in the middle of the screen, impossible to ignore.

Generally speaking, the process for a Valkyrie to be promoted to A-rank is as follows:

First, after long-term observation, the direct superior determines that her comprehensive qualities such as strength, qualifications, merits, and knowledge rank are all up to standard, and then submits a promotion application to their superior.

Then, the application is reported all the way up to the direct branch chief, who signs and submits it to the headquarters after approving it.

Finally, the headquarters arranges the assessment and recognition, and the promotion is completed after all the tests are passed.

Angel's case was a special one. Because of her excellent qualifications or outstanding specialties, she was noticed by the headquarters, so they directly arranged the assessment and recognition. After passing, it was issued to the branch chief. There have been many precedents.

After this, the promotion to A-rank was a foregone conclusion. The branch chief could only delay it at most depending on the situation. Sooner or later, they would sign their name and complete the promotion.

Himeko stared at the document on the screen, holding her chin with one hand, and sighed with a headache.

"That's true. For a Valkyrie, strength is the most critical factor. If the strength is good enough, other restrictions are not important at all. Even if Angel's resume is still thin now, it will be thick sooner or later. To be honest, it's normal for you to sign directly."

"That's what I'm annoyed about! Grandpa has completed the assessment procedures, and now he's just handing the nuclear bomb button to me alone—no, Himeko, why are you here!"

Theresa turned her head, her delicate little face, like a doll, showing a surprised and funny expression.

Himeko lowered her head and pinched her friend's soft face.

"I saw your office light still on in the middle of the night. Can't I come over to see if you are slacking off or working overtime?"

"No, no, no, I wasn't surprised by your behavior before, but it's a problem now! Aren't you asleep at this time recently? When I call you out for a midnight snack, don't you lazily say something like 'I've been fed by Angel' or 'Angel is so soft and fragrant that I don't want to get out of bed'?!"

Theresa tapped Himeko's forehead with an unhappy look.

Himeko subconsciously touched her face, tilted her head elegantly, and smiled unconsciously.

"Eh? Am I like that?"

"Of course! When you hugged me to sleep before, you never praised me like this! Really, the cutest person in the world is me, it's me!"

Theresa slapped the table angrily, with an angry and dissatisfied expression. Himeko smiled tolerantly, then sighed and said.

"I came out to hang out late at night, it's all because of Kiana."

"Eh? Niece, what's wrong with her again?"

"Because her mental state has been bad in the past few days, Angel is very worried. Not only did she take her home to recuperate in the afternoon, but she also went to sleep with her at night. I was left alone in the empty bed, so lonely!"

Himeko stared at Theresa with resentment, trying to scold this aunt with her eyes for not taking care of things. Theresa's momentum weakened, and she whispered to her finger.

"You can't blame me, I haven't taken care of children. Besides, Kiana is so old, I don't understand what a child of this age is thinking."

"That's right, I am also distressed sometimes. I don't know what Angel's little head is thinking. Every day she just pesters me for a hug, is very keen to make delicious food for me, massages my back every day, is very happy when changing my underwear, and is very serious when cleaning the room... Alas, what is that child thinking?"

"You are showing off! You are just showing off!"

Theresa's irritability, which she had just suppressed, broke out more violently.

What a perfect junior all-round maid type!

If Kiana could be so virtuous and sensible and let her, an aunt, live comfortably every day, Theresa would wake up with a smile in her dreams.

Himeko thought about it, shook her head, and showed Theresa a bitter smile with mixed feelings.

"It's comfortable, but... forget it, I won't say it anymore."

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't keep me in suspense!"

"You won't understand even if I tell you."

Himeko rolled her eyes.

You are a lolita old woman who has been single for more than 40 years. You know nothing about emotional problems.

Especially for this kind of taboo relationship that seems to transcend the world, Himeko no longer expects others to give good advice and help her deal with it properly.

But what Theresa hates most is being treated as an ignorant child. How can she tolerate Himeko's contempt?

"Hey! Explain yourself! We have been friends for so many years. Is there anything you can't discuss with me? I tell you, there is no problem in this world that I, Lady Theresa, can't solve! Just speak your mind!"

"No, no, no, friendship is friendship, but it feels wrong to discuss these things!"

"What's wrong? Don't you believe me!?"

"No, why are you arguing with me about this?"

Himeko lowered her head and saw Theresa pounding her chest angrily. It didn't hurt, but it bounced and swayed, and it was a little itchy.

The front armor is really useful at this time.

Himeko stroked Theresa's head, comforting her friend while sighing absent-mindedly.

Finally, Himeko went to Theresa's room, hugged her friend for the first time in a long time, and went to sleep together.

It's just that the room was a bit messy, and the pillow and quilt didn't have the dry and comfortable feeling of being scorched by the sun and carefully taken care of. There was no massage before going to bed to relax, and there was no soft and cute good morning voice and various caring gestures from Angel after waking up.

How to say it, after waking up, Himeko rubbed her sore eyes, patted the head of Theresa who was still snoring and drooling, and muttered.

"The feel, it's not as good as Angel, in every sense."

...

"A-choo!"

In the playground in the early morning, Angel sneezed cutely, then rubbed her nose and tilted her head expressionlessly.

Next to her, Kiana cast a concerned look. Because she was well taken care of yesterday and had a very high quality of sleep, she didn't feel sleepy even if she was pulled up for morning exercises on the weekend morning. Her transparent big eyes blinked energetically. She said.

"Are you okay, Angel?"

"No. Let's get started. Today is the weekend, so the goal is to jog 15 kilometers, finish in 20 minutes, and warm up the body a little."

Angel stated the goal that normal people would faint after hearing.

And Kiana smiled brightly, showing her healthy and beautiful white teeth, and gave a full-of-energy answer.

"Oh! No problem!"

Then, the pair of white, round, firm, and tight long legs moved, running forward wildly, so white that it was dazzling.

Angel's mouth curled up slightly, and she rushed up, following the beautiful back of the youthful and budding Kiana.

Chapter 165: Fu Hua: I Have No Experience!

After the morning exercise, Kiana walked back while drinking water and glanced at Angel, who was walking and looking at her phone in an unusual way.

"Hey, what are you looking at, Angel?"

"Contacting Delta."

"Delta? What are you talking about? No, has that lazy person gotten up at this time?"

"New Zealand is 3 hours ahead of the Far East, and it's past breakfast time there. In addition, Delta is a health-conscious person, not just lazy. She usually goes to bed early and gets up early."

Angel replied expressionlessly.

Then, she looked at Kiana seriously. "Aren't you going to check the information of the Babylon Experiment Tower? I've seen it in the library's database, but the detailed information requires very high permissions to unlock. We are all just B-rank Valkyries. If we want to see it, we can only ask S-rank Valkyries for help."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Kiana blinked blankly, and then her heart warmed.

"You started to help me check so soon?"

"It can be seen that Kiana cares a lot about this. The sooner it is found out, the sooner your problem will be solved, right?"

"Yeah, I'm so touched! Let me hug you!"

"Don't come over, it smells like sweat..."

Angel accepted Kiana's hot hug reluctantly. She disliked it, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

It has a little smell, but it's completely okay. It's better to say that it's a hot and sticky experience, super good!

...

Oceania branch, on the coast where the sun is gradually getting warmer. Delta put down her phone, picked up the thermos cup next to her, and poured out the hot wolfberry water.

"What were you looking at just now?"

Wendy poked her head out from behind the wheelchair, her short green and black hair swaying gently in front of Delta's eyes.

Delta blinked her crystal gem-like eyes.

"Is your mission over?"

"It's over. I just came back and brought you some specialties!"

Wendy said with a smile, handing over a high-quality massage pillow.

Delta's eyes lit up.

"This is the massage pillow I saw online last time. It's not available for mail order now!"

"Hehe! I knew you would like it, so I went to the offline store to buy it."

Wendy rubbed her nose proudly, feeling a strong sense of accomplishment when she saw Delta couldn't let it go.

It was worth it that she ran to a faraway city to purchase it after completing the mission, just to see Delta's reaction!

Wendy nodded with satisfaction.

Delta put the massage pillow behind her waist, started it, and moved with it.

"Ah~~ This feeling~~ is not comfortable at all!"

With a snap, the massage pillow was thrown to the ground.

"Huh?"

Wendy was petrified.

And the ideal fluid that Delta laid under the wheels began to move, controlling the wheelchair to slowly move back.

"Oh my, advertisements really can't be believed. They say that inventions that change life are just gimmicks in the end."

Delta drank wolfberry tea and sighed slowly, like an old man who has seen through the world and has no desires or disputes.

"By the way, although it's useless, thank you. I'm very touched, Wendy."

"No, no... You're welcome! Forget it if it's useless, just find a better one later! Hahaha!"

Wendy glanced at the massage pillow on the ground, kicked it into the trash can in the distance, and then trotted to catch up with Delta's wheelchair.

"You've been working hard lately. You don't even use the electric function of the wheelchair. You've been exercising your power. Hehe, you were defeated by that little miss Ninti last time. You must be upset, right?"

"Unhappy? No."

"Huh?"

"I'm using my power just because it's convenient. You don't even need to hold the joystick. So why should I be upset?"

The salted fish girl explained as a matter of course, blinking in confusion.

Wendy was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, she hit her palm and suddenly realized—yes, how could a salted fish have that kind of mood? What kind of ambition and competitiveness are you talking about with a fish lying flat!

"I'm superficial, just pretend I didn't say it."

Wendy covered her face.

She walked in parallel with the wheelchair, just like walking side by side with Delta, and said casually:

"By the way, what were you looking at just now? You looked a little serious?"

"I completed a transaction."

Delta raised her index finger and told the story seriously and with a little pride. Wendy tilted her head.

"What deal? No, who is so stupid that they would trade with a nobody like you?"

"It's Angel, whom I met last time. She wants to borrow my S-rank authority to check some information. After that, she will make me some high-quality health-preserving delicacies."

"Is that so... Angel, can S-rank authority be borrowed? Isn't this against the rules!?"

Wendy broke out in a cold sweat.

Of course, she knew that Delta's loyalty to Schicksal was limited. It's better to say that with such a dark childhood, it's a miracle that Delta can maintain her current attitude of not fighting the world. Don't force loyalty!

However, rules are rules. Even if you are not very loyal, you have to abide by them. At least don't ask for trouble!

Delta drank her tea blankly and said a little slowly: "Oh, she said that too, and told me to keep it a secret and not tell anyone."

"So you told me that!?"

"Wendy is not someone else."

Delta said as a matter of course, and even looked at Wendy in confusion, as if questioning why she would ask this question.

Wendy slapped her forehead fiercely, wanting to be angry but feeling helpless, wanting to be moved but not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"It's really your style, you are worthy of it, Delta! I'll forget it, and not tell others. In addition, if the headquarters pursues responsibility, remember to tell me, and I will find a way to explain it for you."

"Oh..."

"Don't look indifferent! Do you know that this kind of thing is very serious, and you may be severely punished. I'll find Angel to figure out what she wants to do—no, things have come to this point, and suddenly contacting her will leave evidence. It's better to let it go; maybe it won't be noticed."

Wendy bit her finger.

As a model Valkyrie who was once loyal to Schicksal, she began to seriously consider a package plan for Delta's aftermath.

Delta ignored Wendy's entanglement. She just glanced at the sky in the direction of the headquarters and smiled slightly.

After all, the investigation was about the Babylon Experiment Tower. Presumably, the perceptive Mr. Otto has noticed something, right?

…

"Old friend, old friend, your good apprentice 'borrowed' Delta's S-rank authority and checked the information of the Babylon Experiment Tower. I wonder if you have any explanation for this?"

Otto asked with a smile.

On the other side of the video call, Fu Hua had a wooden face, her hands crossed under her body, rubbing and pinching, and her eyes began to wander.

She knew the rules of Schicksal.

Things like "borrowing" S-rank authority can be treated as betrayal.

My apprentice made a big mistake, and I was called to the parents' home. What should I do?

Fu Hua has lived for 50,000 years, but still has no relevant experience!

Chapter 166: Master's Responsibility

"How about I compensate you with something?"

Fu Hua rubbed her jade-like hands and pulled the corners of her mouth into a polite but awkward smile. As an honest person, trying to engage in a shady deal to protect her precious disciple and defile the sacred rules was enough to make the Immortal Phoenix blush.

Moreover, this Immortal knew nothing about the fact that the foundation managed by the Book of Fuxi for her was already booming. After thinking about it, she seemed to have nothing to offer that would impress Otto.

This made the Immortal even more embarrassed!

"Oh, do you think so, old friend?"

Otto's unfathomable and deep eyes, through the screen, seemed to pierce Fu Hua, making her subconsciously step back half a step.

In five hundred years, this was the first time that Fu Hua felt ashamed in front of Otto.

"Hahaha!"

Then, the tense atmosphere was broken by Otto's joyful laughter. He wiped the tears from his eyes, patted his thigh, and said happily:

"I'm just kidding, old friend!"

"Is... is that so?"

Fu Hua pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly again, but did not relax—believing Otto's nonsense would be foolish, and Fu Hua certainly didn’t trust it.

Otto, seeing Fu Hua's nervousness, smiled and shook his head, feeling that this old friend was finally warmed by his little apprentice and had regained a human temperament.

He was happy for Fu Hua, then changed the topic:

"Speaking of which, you reported that K423 was in a trance recently and suspected of being troubled by nightmares, right?"

"Indeed, Kiana is very troubled recently."

"So, my old friend, K423's nightmare, and Angel, who is very close to K423, suddenly went to check the information of the Babylon Experiment Tower—don't you have any suspicions?"

Otto touched his chin with a calm and meaningful smile. Fu Hua was stunned for a moment.

She was just honest, not stupid. After being pointed out by Otto, the clues connected in her mind.

Fu Hua's eyes widened suddenly, and she hesitated in a solemn voice:

"You mean..."

"In fact, it is not surprising that Angel asked Delta to borrow S-rank authority. My good granddaughter is still holding her A-rank promotion order. In order to explore the truth of Nagazora City, it is normal to take shortcuts. But she didn't check Nagazora City, but the Babylon Experiment Tower. You, my old friend, know nothing about this strange situation. You really should be more careful!"

Otto shook his head and sighed.

Fu Hua's heart grew more confused.

"Otto, what do you mean?"

"It means that this matter reveals at least two pieces of information: first, your little apprentice is consciously refusing to understand the inside story of Nagazora City; second, K423 is likely beginning to contact the memory and personality of the Herrscher of the Void."

Otto replied slowly. The first thing was already expected by Otto. He had no intention of intervening. He could only hope that Saint Freya really had the miraculous power to change hatred, so there was nothing to say.

The second thing, to be honest, was not unexpected. This was a necessary part of the Sirin plan and would happen sooner or later. If the progress was too slow, Otto would even take the initiative to promote it, so it was not an unplanned situation.

Angel's usurpation and Delta's reckless behavior were both promoting his Sirin plan, so Otto was not angry at all and just treated everything as if nothing happened.

Fu Hua chewed on the meaning of Otto's words and gradually became more distressed.

"Did Angel really notice something?"

"She is a true genius, outstanding in both martial arts and intelligence. I have no doubt that she can become one of the pillars of Schicksal's future. How could such a little girl be unaware of my granddaughter's little thoughts? She doesn't pursue the truth only because she doesn't want to, not because she is powerless."

Otto spoke freely, confident and calm as if he knew everything happening in Saint Freya.

Fu Hua's heart grew heavier, as she knew very well that Otto possessed such wisdom and ability. Even though Otto was thousands of miles away, Fu Hua believed in Otto's judgment more than her own eyes in many matters.

"I accept your reminder, thank you."

"You're welcome, it's my duty, and I'm also looking forward to her growth. I hope you can handle all this properly."

"I will pay more attention to Kiana's affairs. Don't worry, with me here, she won't have any accidents."

"Of course I believe in your ability, old friend, so let's stop here... To be honest, I have a suggestion. If the situation in Saint Freya becomes difficult to control, you might as well take the child to Mount Taixu. Maybe there will be more help for her there."

Otto looked at Fu Hua with a smile.

There are Ji Lin and the Book of Fuxi that has recently emerged in Mount Taixu. In a sense, it is a gathering place for elders, which will be a great comfort to Angel, who is lonely and helpless.

Besides, the various small actions of the Book of Fuxi show that she has some opinions about Schicksal.

Sending a well-behaved, sensible, and lovable younger generation to show her some face from Schicksal should be able to greatly restrain that little ELF and change her attitude. Otto thought it was a win-win situation.

Fu Hua's little face showed a confused expression, and she blinked her eyes blankly and asked:

"Mount Taixu? Why?"

"It's just a suggestion. If you are at a loss, old friend, you can consider it. That's all."

"Okay, I'll remember it. Thank you."

"I told you not to be so polite. Well, it's late, I won't disturb your rest."

Otto smiled and cut off the communication.

Fu Hua stood there, thinking for a long time about Angel's problem, Kiana's problem, and whether Otto's words had any hidden schemes—after thinking for a long time, she couldn’t figure it out.

She absent-mindedly walked out of the secluded corner and return to Himeko's villa.

"Master, look!"

Angel ran to the door to greet her, but the sight made Fu Hua's eyes light up.

White short sleeves, black pleats, a gorgeous and mysterious black Lolita skirt covered the girl's petite body, highlighting her slim waist. The snow-white skin and the black skirt formed a contrast that made it impossible to look away.

It was still as cute as usual, but with some retro noble and mysterious colors. In a word, it was stunning.

"It looks good."

Fu Hua praised dryly, with a soft and doting smile on her face.

Angel pinched the skirt and lowered her head with a shy blush, like a shy bud.

"Kiana helped me choose it."

"Then you have to thank her well."

"Humph! I helped her a lot; this little reward is nothing!"

"What you said makes sense."

Fu Hua paused, reached out, and touched the top of Angel's head. The golden hair brought an extremely comfortable and silky touch.

But Fu Hua felt a sour and tingling pain in her heart. 'Angel, what should Master do to protect you?'

Unlike Cheng Lixue back then, Angel now looked more like a delicate doll covered in glass in Fu Hua's eyes.

She looked beautiful but actually fragile. Fu Hua always felt that if she didn't pay attention, Angel would fall and get bruised all over.

Fu Hua dared not leave casually anymore. She feared the day when those truths would be revealed, Angel would be destroyed by the cruel reality when she wasn't paying attention.

"Master... Master? Why did you suddenly hug me?"

"Nothing, I just want to tell you that Master is always by your side. So don't be afraid, everything will pass."

"Master?"

"Promise Master that you must be well, understand, Angel?"

Fu Hua lowered her head, feeling twelve points of pride and heartache for the ignorant little girl in her arms, and also twelve points of determination.

She couldn't lose this child in front of her, she won't lose another disciple again.

Angel must be protected, at all costs!

Chapter 167: Escape with a Disciple

Fu Hua began to seriously consider taking Angel back to Mount Taixu.

There was no choice. Fighting a Herrscher was one thing, but dealing with complicated psychological problems, especially involving a deadly blood feud, was not within the scope of the Jingwei's duties.

But this would not be easy.

Kiana was in an unstable state. Whether it was due to her contract with Otto, personal feelings, or simply to guard against the resurrection of the Herrscher of the void in the past, Fu Hua had no room to escape.

However, within two days of Otto's proposal, Rita and Durandal appeared together at the gate of Saint Freya.

"What do you mean? Why did you suddenly come to do an inspection and audit? Does grandpa not trust me?"

"That's right! Our dean is named Apocalypse, they are all family, what is there to check?"

Theresa and Himeko came to the school gate to greet them, but they were sweating more and more. There was nothing wrong with the funding and discipline of Saint Freya. After all, the two leaders had a bottom line and would not engage in embezzlement or corruption.

However, if examined closely, there were still some minor problems, such as some nominal public expenses actually being used for the costs of Houmu comics and peripherals.

"It is precisely because Lady Theresa is the granddaughter of the archbishop that Saint Freya is the most suitable to be the first to be inspected among the branches! Only by carefully finding out the problems here and dealing with them seriously will the other branches have nothing to say and the inspection can be smoothly proceed! Please forgive me for any inconvenience!"

"Lady Durandal is right, and Rita also believes that under the wise leadership of Lady Theresa, Saint Freya must be clean, right?"

The leader and deputy leader of the inspection team said successively, with a businesslike but polite attitude.

Then the two leaders of Saint Freya turned even paler. They knew that those minor problems would not be severely punished, at most resulting in some warnings and fines, but they would definitely be posted in a notice for all Valkyries to see and comment on.

'It's over, my majestic image!'

'It's over, my flawless resume!'

Theresa and Himeko sweated even more.

At this time, the third leader of the inspection team, Yae Sakura, who had just woken up, walked down the plane step by step, holding a black sword and rubbing the slightly red corners of her eyes.

Theresa was stunned.

"You... am I dreaming?"

Theresa blinked blankly, then twisted Himeko's waist.

Himeko screamed as expected.

"Ah!"

"Theresa, what are you doing!?"

Theresa took a breath, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then said in disbelief:

"I'm not dreaming! But why are you... what did Grandpa do again? This is impossible!"

Theresa had seen Yae Sakura and Higokumaru end their feud and disappear together in the world of stigmata. This scene in front of her made her feel deeply unbelievable.

Yae Sakura, looking like she had just woken up, her pretty face dyed with a charming blush, smiled brightly at Theresa.

"Long time no see, Theresa."

"Impossible! What's going on?"

"Well, a lot of things happened. Anyway, I'm helping Mr. Otto with some things now, and I'm here to help this time. You know I'm from five hundred years ago, and I don't understand many things yet. If there's anything I don't do well, please bear with me."

"You're welcome, you're welcome... Eh!?"

Theresa replied subconsciously, then hugged her head, completely confused, and even forgot about the inspection for the time being.

...

At night, Fu Hua walked out of the house alone, using the excuse of digesting food after dinner, and came to a corner where few people went at night.

As expected, she soon encountered the elegant and austere maid who emerged from the moonlight.

"Good evening, Lord Fu Hua."

Rita smiled, and the fragrance came with the wind, like a bright, tender, and delicious rose under the moon.

Fu Hua sighed in understanding, with a bit of helplessness on her face, and said:

"Otto's arrangement?"

"That's right. The bishop knew that Miss Kiana's situation had changed, so this time he is checking the accounts on the surface, but in fact, he is observing her changes."

"What else did he tell you to convey to me?"

"He said that Master Fu Hua can do what she wants. As for Miss Kiana, please don't worry, we have brought experts for this situation."

And there was more than one expert. Durandal is an expert in combat power suppression, and Yae Sakura's Jizo Mitama is even more deadly to spiritual will. With these two people, even if Kiana's body still housed the original Sirin who is ready to emerge, nothing would go wrong.

Fu Hua didn't trust Otto's character, but she absolutely trusted his ability. Since he had made arrangements, her biggest concern could be put aside for the time being.

"I understand what he means. Let me think about it."

Fu Hua said with mixed feelings. Although she didn't want to admit it, this time, she was very grateful for Otto's thoughtfulness, and she owed him another favor.

...

'It wouldn't be a bad thing to take Angel back to Mount Taixu, get to know the mountain gate, and change her mood.'

Fu Hua tossed and turned for a long time that night, thinking about Angel's problem. Although she still couldn't come up with a perfect plan with her limited experience in psychological counseling, at least she came to this conclusion.

And it's rare for someone to take over her duty of watching over Kiana. If she missed this opportunity, it would be hard to say when she would have another chance.

Fu Hua sorted out the current situation and asked Angel's opinion early in the morning.

No surprise, Angel agreed to it, surprised but happily.

So, Fu Hua applied for leave from Theresa again.

"Okay, okay, you guys play for two more days, and come back when you're done!"

Theresa seemed eager to send them away quickly.

She was busy reminiscing with Yae Sakura, and even more busy dealing with the audits by Durandal and Rita. When she heard Angel's name while feeling dizzy, she thought of the A-rank promotion document that troubled her, causing a headache!

Well, let's send this troublesome little girl away first. Theresa really had no time to think about these right now.

Fu Hua returned home with the Leave Application Form and handed it to Angel, still a little dazed.

How could it be so smooth?

It felt like everyone was pushing her to take Angel back home!

"Master, Master, when are we going to leave?"

"As soon as possible. We'll leave tomorrow."

Fu Hua looked at her expectant little apprentice, smiled slightly, and patted her head lovingly.

Speaking of which, this was her first time bringing Angel back to the mountain gate.

Going to Shenzhou is her own territory, so she must be fully prepared and take good care of this child!

Fu Hua thought confidently.

Chapter 168: Fuxi-chan's New Year's Money

"Master, have some tea."

"Oh."

Fu Hua took the tea in the paper cup, sniffed the tea's fragrance, and turned her head to look at the floating clouds outside the window.

The seat was spacious and comfortable, a first-class ticket. Next to her was a travel pillow, noise-canceling headphones, an eye mask, and other items to ensure a good sleep.

Everything was fine, but Fu Hua felt a little confused.

Originally, she had planned to arrange everything in the itinerary carefully, like a responsible elder, so that Angel could spend the journey comfortably. Then, things unknowingly got out of her control.

"Master, I've already picked the flight. The car is over there. Let's go."

"Ah? When did you book it? ....ok."

"Master, look over there. The sunrise at this angle is featured in the travel guide!"

"Ah? Oh. It's really beautiful, really..."

"Master, I've ordered a meal. Let's go eat. This way."

"Oh..."

"Master, let's pick this snack as a souvenir. Senior Ji Lin will definitely like it."

"..."

"Master, I've checked in the luggage. Go this way to board the plane!"

"..."

That's how Fu Hua was led all the way onto the plane. The roles of adult and child have been reversed from the start.

Fu Hua drank a sip of tea, turned her head, looked at Angel flipping through a magazine seriously, and then swallowed her saliva uncontrollably.

It was so scary!

It was just like the monster in the Far East legend who kept a man by its side forever by satisfying all his needs!

Angel, has the terrifying ability to turn the people around her into her dependents without realizing it! What's more terrifying is that she seems unaware and does it naturally!

"Himeko, I hope you're okay when we go back..."

Kiana is okay, after all, with Raiden Mei taking care of her, her food, clothing, housing, and transportation are guaranteed.

But Himeko, who has the closest contact with Angel and is the most deeply affected by her abilities, Fu Hua is a little afraid to think about it.

"Master, what are you talking about?"

"No, just... well, I'm just thinking about the next itinerary."

"Don't worry, Master, it will be night when the plane lands, and I have prepared a place to stay and dinner. After a comfortable night's sleep, I prepared a Hummer and will drive directly to the foot of Mount Taixu... By the way, I haven't considered it yet. Master, do you plan to go somewhere else? I can change the plan now."

Angel blinked her watery purple eyes, and her cute and well-behaved appearance made people feel soft in their hearts.

And Fu Hua twitched the corners of her mouth.

"No, let's follow your arrangement. You did a great job."

It was so great that it was a little scary!

Fu Hua wanted to praise her, but she always felt something was off.

How did this kind of character, which is ready to completely take care of everyone around her, come about?

It must have been a heart-wrenching loss before, so now she wants to protect the people she cares about as much as possible, and only then would she have this morbid desire to take care of them?

Because Fu Hua had been thinking about the suffering Angel had endured, she unconsciously thought in this direction, and the logic made sense to her, feeling that the truth was like this. She even imagined some clear pictures:

The little girl who lost her parents, bullied in darkness, pain, and despair, crying and trembling, but finding no support. Then, someone finally reached out and gave her warmth again. Isn't it natural for Angel to persist and do everything she can to keep this warmth?

But the warmth that Angel tried so hard to protect included the person responsible for the disaster in Nagazora.

How could the simple, weak, innocent, and pitiful Angel bear this?

Fu Hua's eyes gradually softened, filled with incomparable tenderness and love.

"Master, you... what's wrong with you? Your expression is weird, and your eyes seem... weird?"

Angel suddenly trembled uncontrollably and shrank her neck weakly.

Although she didn't know what Fu Hua was thinking, Angel felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

Fu Hua shook her head and stroked Angel's head very gently, as if touching a precious and fragile rare treasure, and said:

"You have worked hard all the time, Angel."

"Ah?"

"Master will protect you, so don't be afraid no matter what happens, understand?"

"Master?"

Angel looked at Fu Hua blankly. After a moment, although she still didn't understand why, since Fu Hua had expressed her opinion, Angel could only hug her with emotion.

"Well, thank you, Master!"

Angel clenched her hands. She could hear Fu Hua's seriousness, so she smiled happily.

...

Book of Fuxi has a good business sense.

Or it's that she is very smart and can quickly adapt to the rules of the new era and find suitable business opportunities. Then, relying on the special status of Mount Taixu, she dealt with major forces such as Schicksal, World Serpent, and Shenzhou Officials, taking advantage of the situation to start, and quickly grew, soon developing a large-scale business map.

The benefits of the information age are here. Such growth rate is unimaginable in the feudal era.

However, she is also very clear about her disadvantages. First of all, Mount Taixu pursues isolation, and there is no manpower available in the core layer.

At the same time, the Immortal Phoenix she serves, to put it nicely, she is transcendent and independent, and to put it bluntly, she is a blockhead.

Whether it is the reality foundation or the strategic direction, Mount Taixu is not suitable for touching real power.

Therefore, Book of Fuxi only established a business empire. In addition to making money, she did not do anything extra, and she did not have the conditions to do so.

"Well, regarding the layout of Nanling City, let's follow the plan submitted by President Zhou. Everyone must pay attention. The scale of Mount Taixu is already extraordinary. Now, compared with the expansion speed, the construction of internal management mechanisms needs more attention. I am not the kind of person who is blinded by greed and has no foresight..."

"Fuxi-chan! Jingwei is going home!!"

With a loud bang, the wooden door fell down, and Ji Lin's full of vitality resounded throughout the room.

Book of Fuxi's face was wooden, and her small hand reached out to the end call button on her mobile phone.

"That's all for today. I have other things to deal with."

Book of Fuxi ended the call, sat on a sphere with a black and white yin and yang pattern, and floated up. Her small hand reached into her sleeve and pulled out an ancient scroll surrounded by golden light out of thin air.

She reached into the scroll, as if connected to another space, and took out a black sci-fi pistol.

"Fuxi-chan, wait, I..."

"Bang!"

Ji Lin fell down, the Xuanyuan Sword in her arms clanged to the ground, her legs twitched, and only one index finger was still pointing forward stubbornly.

"How many times have I told you not to disturb me when I'm in a meeting, you useless bufoon!"

Book of Fuxi stood on Ji Lin's head and stepped on it with her white and tender little feet, venting her anger.

It's not her fault that she is so manic; it's mainly because Ji Lin and Ah Lin are too useless. They can't do anything except make trouble in business, and their housework is also a mess. Book of Fuxi has to take care of everything.

But they still destroy the environment of Mount Taixu from time to time, and always show up to make trouble when she is in a meeting. It's okay once or twice, but it's like this every day. Book of Fuxi feels that she is gentle enough without driving these two useless people out of the house.

"I thought it was hard enough to take care of Elmhead, but I didn't expect you two would be the actual dragon and phoenix. I'm so unlucky!" Book of Fuxi rolled her eyes.

Beside her, the golden Xuanyuan Sword trembled, and Ah Lin appeared with a fairy-like spirit, but with a scared expression, handing over a mobile phone in a flattering manner.

Book of Fuxi took it and saw that it was indeed a message from Fu Hua going home, and there was also a screenshot of the flight.

"Oh, Elmhead is homesick? It's really not easy. I thought she could wander outside for hundreds of years if we didn't call her! But she's back, so why are you making a fuss? You're surprised."

Book of Fuxi raised her eyebrows and continued to read the information, and then her face changed.

"What, little Angel is here too? This is a big deal! Hey, don't lie down, get up quickly, let's clean up the house first, and then go down the mountain to pick them up! By the way, bring me the gift I prepared before, and wrap it in a big red envelope!"

Book of Fuxi kicked Ji Lin's head and suddenly became enthusiastic.

It seems that the news of Fu Hua's return home is far less important than Angel's coming to the mountain gate.

"It's not easy. After so many years, we have a newcomer in Mount Taixu. I heard that she is a very likable child, but don't learn bad things from the wooden head. I will have to give her more advice when the time comes."

Book of Fuxi muttered to herself, and at the same time took out one bank card after another from the scroll, thinking about which design and amount are more suitable for giving to Angel as New Year's money.

Chapter 169: You've Grown Up, You Blockhead!

The puppet girl, whose real name is Book of Fuxi and nickname is Fuxi-chan, has no experience in airport pick-ups.

At the same time, Fuxi-chan didn't expect these tribal village girls, who only had faces and muscles to boast about, to be just eating and drinking.

But even so, they were reliable and still accurately found the airport where Fu Hua and Angel landed, set up the battle formation, and got everything ready, just waiting for the wanderers to return home.

"Jingwei!"

"Jingwei~~"

"Where is Jingwei...?"

Ji Lin held up a welcome sign with the words "Welcome Jingwei" on the top and "Welcome Angel" on the bottom, and slowly changed from shaking excitedly to whispering weakly.

Next to her, Ah Lin gradually revealed a puzzled expression. About half an hour later, Ji Lin scratched her ear and asked dejectedly:

"Hey, Fuxi-chan, why can't we see anyone after waiting for so long?"

"Because there was a little mistake."

"What mistake?"

"The flight landed two hours ago."

Book of Fuxi floated and replied slowly.

Ji Lin and Ah Lin turned their heads at the same time and stared at Book of Fuxi.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" x 2

"Who do you think insisted on making a welcome sign before departure, which delayed the trip?"

"Click!"

The pistol was loaded, and the small but black muzzle was aimed at Ji Lin's head. Book of Fuxi showed a merciless dead fish eye.

The two sisters raised their hands at the same time and saluted in French orthodox military fashion.

Before Book of Fuxi awakened, the food chain of Mount Taixu was vague, and Ji Lin, Ah Lin, and Fu Hua were not trying to one up each other. But after Book of Fuxi awakened, it was hard to say who was the lowest, but it was very clear who was the highest.

Seeing their frightened looks, Book of Fuxi's not-so-good mood eased a little.

"Let's go, they have booked a hotel, not far outside."

Book of Fuxi ended this symbolic lesson, put away the pistol, turned around, and the Yin-Yang ball carried her to float outside.

Ji Lin covered her forehead that had escaped a disaster, and stuck out her tongue unconvincedly behind her.

"Sister, it seems that this is really your fault."

"Nonsense, this is my love for Jingwei and Angel-chan, it's just a small mistake at most!"

"Puff! Sister is getting more and more naughty, but if you don't catch up with Fuxi-chan, you'll be left behind!"

"I'll debate with you next time! Fuxi-chan, wait for me!"

...

"Master, do you want to have a massage?"

"Hmm? You've been on the plane for a whole day, aren't you tired?"

Seeing Angel rubbing massage oil with both hands, with a slightly encouraging smile on her rosy little face, Fu Hua, who had just come out of the bathroom, sighed helplessly.

Her little apprentice's nature of caring for others is really comforting and distressing.

Angel shook her head when she heard it.

"I'm a Valkyrie, I won't get tired so easily! And I help Himeko relax before going to bed every day, she's so happy! Come on, Master, I'll help you sleep well tonight!"

Angel put on a serious expression on her face, but her heart was beating wildly.

'Hehe! Master, who just got out of the bath, with wet hair, white skin, and a beautiful and lazy expression, let me touch it! '

To some extent, the reason why Angel can get along so well with Kiana should be partly because they are both little perverts - just one is hidden under the daily three-no expression, and the other has no hidden brain at all.

How can the relationship between two perverts who are greedy for each other's bodies be bad?

It's not that the others are too indifferent, but because Raiden Mei and Himeko have preconceived ideas, so the two perverts regard each other as secondary targets, otherwise who knows what the situation would be now?

Fu Hua still resisted a little. But in Angel's determined eyes, she hesitated for a while, and nodded helplessly, accepting this sincere "filial piety."

Fu Hua took off her pajamas and slowly lay on the bed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Angel."

"Leave it to me, Master!"

Angel rubbed her hands faster, spreading the essential oil evenly on her palms, and then pressed it on Fu Hua's delicate shoulders.

So, when Ji Lin took the lead and broke open the door, Book of Fuxi saw this scene.

The wooden head that she thought would never bloom, lazily lying on the big bed in the hotel, half-closed hazy eyes revealing a drowsy intoxication, with a slightly sweaty delicate little girl skillfully massaging her waist and shoulders.

What a picture of extravagance and debauchery, the pure white bodies complementing each other, exuding the forbidden and wonderful fragrance of lilies.

"Hiss!"

Book of Fuxi took a breath of cold air.

"Elmhead, have you finally grown up or fallen into debauchery?"

She was not very clear about Fu Hua's experience over the past thousands of years, but first there were the tribal sisters who would not marry anyone but Fu Hua, and then there was thi "respectful" little loli apprentice.

It is not difficult to imagine how wonderful this block head's life must be!

"Ji...Lin...!?"

Fu Hua suddenly raised her head from a half-awake state, and then the perfect force Angel struck to her waist made her subconsciously utter a moan.

"Hmm!梐h~~"

For a moment, Ji Lin and Ah Lin covered their faces with their hands at the same time, but their wide fingers revealed their trembling pupils and red faces.

Fu Hua's expression changed for a while, and she reached for the pajamas next to her, took it, and slowly covered her face.

The air suddenly became very quiet.

Only Angel continued to serve her master, turned her head to look at the door, and tilted her head slowly.

"Hmm?"

...

Half an hour later, on the open-air balcony of the room.

Fu Hua and Ji Lin sat together, their eyes wandering, occasionally meeting each other's eyes, and then quickly dodging each other, as if there was an electric current in each other's eyes. Ah Lin floated beside Ji Lin, and her reaction was almost the same as the two.

Opposite, Angel sat upright, her legs tightly clamped together, looking super well-behaved.

Book of Fuxi floated over on the Yin-Yang ball, and calmly took out a big red envelope that was much bigger than her from her sleeve.

"Here, this is the gift from your aunt. Don't be polite; we still have some assets in Mount Taixu, and we will never treat our cute little disciples badly."

Angel blinked and looked around, as if to confirm whether Book of Fuxi's smiling and gentle expression was directed at her.

After a moment, she shrank her neck with a wooden face and cast a look of help to Fu Hua.

Fu Hua was staring at Book of Fuxi at this time. This beautiful and cute little doll, which she had never seen in her memory, but was the same as Ji Lin at the beginning. Just looking at it made Fu Hua feel strong emotions.

Fu Hua knew the existence of the ELFs , but she also knew that most of those little guys had fallen and disappeared in the previous era.

She felt strongly that this ELF was closely related to her, so she subconsciously wanted to dig something out of the blank and incomplete memory.

This behavior was undoubtedly damaging her already broken mind, and a burst of intense pain stirred in Fu Hua's brain.

"Pah!"

Book of Fuxi came to Fu Hua's eyes without knowing when, stretched out her little hand, and gently patted her forehead.

"It's okay if you can't remember it. It's not a very important memory. At most, we can get to know each other again. It's our first meeting, you stupid woman. I'm your guardian and personal butler. Just call me Little Fuxi."

Book of Fuxi said gently and helplessly, smiling at Fu Hua's frowning brows and moist eyes, as if she was looking at an old friend who had not seen her for a long time, or as if she was looking at an immature child.

Fu Hua opened her mouth slightly, feeling that she had a lot to say, but sadly found that she didn't know what to say.

So tears fell silently.

"Don't cry, don't cry, the child is still watching you. You are a master now, why are you still crying?"

Book of Fuxi was a little amused, as if she was back to the day when she was about to die.

Thousands of years have passed, and many things have changed.

But Fu Hua in Book of Fuxi's eyes, and Book of Fuxi in Fu Hua's eyes, seem to be no different from those years.

Fu Hua bit her lip, sniffed, and asked tremblingly:

"We knew each other before, didn't we?"

"Old friend, I've taken care of you for two or three thousand years."

"Sorry, I don't even remember...anything."

"I told you it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I'm back, and you're still here, that's enough."

Book of Fuxi said with a smile, put the Yin-Yang ball under her back into her sleeves, floated to Fu Hua's shoulder, sat down, and then gently pressed against Fu Hua's face.

"I'm back, blockhead."

Just like in history, Book of Fuxi's soft voice was filled with a gentle smile, and Fu Hua raised her hand, gently stroked Book of Fuxi's body, and a moving arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Although she couldn't remember anything, Fu Hua subconsciously replied.

"Well, welcome back, Little Fuxi."

Chapter 170: Take You Home

Since the landlord had arrived, there was no need for Angel and Fu Hua to drive back to Mount Taixu by themselves.

They went back on Ji Lin's flying sword.

"Hahaha! Jingwei, do you think we are awesome?"

Ji Lin put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly.

Under their feet was an enlarged version of the Xuanyuan Sword. The broad sword body formed a stable and luxurious golden platform, matched with the golden light particle track behind.

Fortunately, Book of Fuxi insisted on traveling during the day; otherwise, who knows what kind of public opinion storm would have been set off.

But even so, Book of Fuxi still received greetings from the Shenzhou officials.

"Hello, it's Little Fuxi. We're fine. We didn't run into any trouble. We were just on the way. What? Someone posted something online? Then just release some small news and suppress it. It's not a big deal. Okay, okay, we'll talk about the visit and exchange next time. I have something else to do now. Bye~~"

After perfunctorily dealing with the officials, Book of Fuxi turned and rolled her eyes at Ji Lin's smug look.

"That's enough. You used this method to satisfy your desire to show off. Don't do it again. this is the era of technology, not the good times when you could just say 'the immortals have arrived' and be done with it. You should restrain yourself a bit!"

"I know, Fuxi-chan, you are really something. It's rare for Jingwei and Angel to come back. Don't be such a downer!"

Ji Lin scratched her head and muttered to himself.

On the other side, Fu Hua shook her head and chuckled. She always felt strange about this small lively scene, but she also felt it was particularly comfortable.

"Stare——"

Then, the strong gaze that continued to exist forced her to come back to her senses and face another headache.

"Angel...Angel, do you want some tea?"

"Not thirsty."

"How about I tell you about the scenery of Mount Taixu?"

"We'll be there soon, I want to see it myself."

The usually considerate and cute little apprentice now had an even more frivolous expression than usual, silently expressing her dissatisfaction with an empty but strongly resentful look.

Fu Hua couldn't stand this kind of gaze, turned her head, and blinked quickly at Ji Lin to hint.

Ji Lin tilted her head stupidly, then gave her a thumbs up with a bright smile.

'I'm not saying hello to you!'

Fu Hua immediately shifted her gaze for help to Book of Fuxi.

Book of Fuxi blinked, smiled slightly, then took out a huge tablet and started working seriously.

Obviously, this one could understand the signal for help, but she just wanted to watch the fun more.

Fu Hua began to sweat on her forehead. She knew that Angel was sincere to her people, but she also knew that Angel hated being deceived and was quite vindictive.

After a long stalemate, Angel finally softened her eyes, and her expressionless face showed a bit of grievance, and she said sullenly:

"Master never told me that Master's the Immortal Phoenix."

"Didn't you ask?"

Fu Hua subconsciously replied, with a dry tone and a bit of embarrassment.

Book of Fuxi faced the tablet computer and gave a speechless look as expected - she was still the same stupid head back then, and she was misjudged last night, she was still so hopeless.

Although Angel was acting, Fu Hua's rebuttal still made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she continued quietly:

"Master, what you mean is that if I don't ask you about this kind of thing, you will never tell me?"

"No, no, I don't mean that. It's mainly because the environment is not right. You have guessed that I am not just a student. I have a mission in Saint Freya, so it's not convenient to say it. I brought you to Mount Taixu to find a place to explain these situations to you."

"Really?"

"Really, I didn't lie to you!"

Fu Hua nodded with a straightforward face.

Angel stopped at the right time and let go of Fu Hua's "deception." She bowed her head and said:

"Then, I forgive Master."

"Angel!"

Fu Hua was surprised and relieved.

"But you can't lie to me again, Master."

"Ah, this..."

Fu Hua's smile just now froze, and her heart suddenly lifted up again.

other things are easy to say, but how can she be honest with Angel about the things in Nagazora City? It will definitely explode, right?

Fu Hua's lips moved, but she couldn't speak.

This startled reaction was particularly interesting and cute in Angel's eyes. She can only say that Ji Lin got a bargain.

Angel chuckled and stopped asking Fu Hua anything. She just threw herself into her arms like a little bird, showing a satisfied smile.

'She is a considerate and sensible child. At least this time, the wooden-headed girl has a good eye.'

Book of Fuxi watched from the side and nodded with a smile, and her already high psychological evaluation of Angel silently improved a little bit.

...

Mount Taixu, a remote mountain far away from the world, has no one known its exact location since the Taixu Seven Sons. In addition, it has been shrouded in a maze with mental suggestion for many years, making it a corner that civilization cannot reach.

Therefore, it is particularly quiet and integrated into nature. Angel smelled the very fresh air, took a deep breath subconsciously, and then squinted her eyes comfortably.

"Is this Mount Taixu?"

"Yes, this is where I live. I have spent a long time here. Although most of my memories have been lost, my familiarity with this place has been integrated into my body instincts."

"Is my master really the so-called Immortal? Is it from practicing Edge of Taixuan?"

"No, it should be said the other way around. I first gained this long and terrifying lifespan, and then created the current Edge of Taixuan."

Fu Hua replied, with a bit of melancholy on her face.

Immortality is not a good thing. At least for Fu Hua, it is just endless torture. Even if her memories are incomplete, she can feel the lingering loneliness and pain.

Ji Lin suddenly bumped into her at this time.

"Welcome home, Jingwei!"

She kissed Fu Hua on the face without any hesitation.

Angel turned her head immediately, and her eyes suddenly widened.

Fu Hua blushed and tried to push Ji Lin away, but failed. She could only watch Ji Lin rubbing against her body, and then - she forgot the sadness she had just recalled.

"Ji Lin, don't be like this."

"What does it matter? We are all back home!"

"I know your era was more open, but now it's different after all. There are children here!"

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Little Angel, we haven't met formally yet. I am Ji Lin, one of Jingwei's best friends. We met last time. According to the rules, you can call me Master's wife!"

Ji Lin proudly puffed out her chest, but still hugged Fu Hua's waist and kept rubbing her chest.

'Shameless, that's my master!'

'She's also my lover, there's no conflict!'

'Damn, I'm so envious, I also want to try Master's lips, but I already have Himeko.'

'I haven't said anything about you! Apart from that bastard Tachibana Yuki, you are the happiest among us, hanging out with so many beautiful girls every day, but for me, I can only hug Jingwei at this time to relieve my loneliness.'

The two looked at each other, one with a blank mouth, the other with a bright and brilliant smile, silently exchanging each other's feelings.

"Okay, what are you dawdling at the door? Come in, it's almost time for breakfast."

Book of Fuxi floated by the wooden door and said with a smile.

Yes, I'm home.

Fu Hua looked at the wooden house that looked like a taoist temple, and then looked around at Ji Lin, Angel, and Book of Fuxi around, and a different mood suddenly emerged.

For many years, she came here just as a habit. The clean and simple courtyard and buildings gave her only a cold touch, empty and unpopular, like a wide cage that she couldn't get out of.

But now, it seems different.

Fu Hua took Angel's hand. "Let's go, Angel, Master will take you to see my home. this will be your new home in the future!"

Fu Hua invited her beloved disciple. Her face, which was usually indifferent and calm, now showed a clear smile like a blooming lotus.

Book of Fuxi's eyes moved, and a relieved smile appeared in her eyes - after she left, her wooden head had experienced a lot, but now it seems that everything is not so bad.

For Book of Fuxi, this has already made her very satisfied.

Angel was also moved by this beautiful smile, and silently tightened Fu Hua's palm.

'Ji Lin, our coming to this world is really meaningful, right?'

'I think so too.'

Angel and Ji Lin smiled at each other, and then held Fu Hua's little hand on the left and right, and walked into the temple togethis.

Chapter 171: Listen to Fu Hua's Past Stories

Book of Fuxi reunited with Jingwei, and Mount Taixu had a new baby.

It was all good news, so the house was particularly lively tonight.

Book of Fuxi, Fu Hua, and Ji Lin walked around the exquisite dragon-carved tofu on the table, looking at it and marveling at it.

"Oh my goodness, little Angel, you have great skills! I just mentioned it casually, and you really carved it. It turns out that people can't compare with each other."

Book of Fuxi floated to Angel's head, stretched out her little hand to touch it, and looked at Fu Hua and Ji Lin with a squint.

Ji Lin's character is a hero and a vulgar country girl. She has no problem splitting mountains and breaking seas, but when cooking, she is purely explosive. Fu Hua is the kind of person who can cook, but it is just mediocre.

"...Little Fuxi, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"No, no, I didn't think that the great Immortal Jingwei and Emperor Xuanyuan were far inferior to our little Angel in terms of self-care ability!"

Book of Fuxi's smiling expression had a lovely gentleness and sweetness on her small face, with no trace of sarcasm in her voice.

Then Ji Lin shyly touched her head, and Ah Lin also pointed at her fingers behind her and lowered her head with a red face.

The two of them silently moved behind Fu Hua, avoiding Book of Fuxi's gaze.

Fu Hua glanced at the two pitiful sisters behind her, her expression stiffened for a moment, then with a bit of helplessness, she shook her head as if she had long been accustomed to it, and defended her friends:

"Everyone is good at different things, and we can't expect everyone to be proficient in everything. Ji Lin and the others are not talented in cooking, but this does not prevent them from becoming admirable guardians. Of course, Angel is also very good at taking care of people and deserves praise."

Fu Hua praised both sides, doing her best to take into account the feelings of her friends and disciples. Of course, it was also a real and sincere word.

"Jingwei (^▽^)!"×2

Behind her, the blushing sisters grabbed Fu Hua's arms on the left and right, looking at her with starry eyes, just like a newlywed wife seeing her admired husband defending her in front of her mother-in-law—or like a child taken care of by a stepmother meeting her biological mother.

Book of Fuxi curled her lips and spread her hands.

"Ah, yes, yes, you are always full of truths, and everything you say is right."

"Ahem! Anyway, let's eat."

Fu Hua coughed dryly, looked around at the charming girls around her, stretched out her hand to lead them to the dazzling table, and showed a happy smile that only she herself did not notice.

The dinner was exquisite and rich, but not luxurious. It was all common ingredients, silently proclaiming a simple and unpretentious style. This style originated from Fu Hua. Although it was just a character trait that did not need much explanation for her, Book of Fuxi regarded it as a tradition of Mount Taixu, deeply remembered and adhered to it.

Perhaps, for truly noble people, in terms of material, ordinary things are enough.

...

After dinner, in the quiet and cool mountain courtyard, Angel, Ji Lin, and Ah Lin sat in a row and listened to Fu Hua's stories about the past.

"...Um, don't be so formal, right?" Fu Hua scratched her face dully.

Telling a story is telling a story, but the three serious and expectant little faces in front of her always gave her a subtle sense of standing on the stage to tell a story.

Book of Fuxi carried a teapot that was bigger than her and poured tea for everyone. She fully understood Fu Hua's embarrassment but had no intention of helping in the situation.

Fu Hua looked at the impatient eyes of her apprentices and close friends, shook her head helplessly, put down her restraint, and began to think about where to start.

"If I have to start from the beginning, it would be a very long story. I don't know if I have mentioned it to anyone before, but even if I have, I think it's very rare. However, since you want to know, there is nothing to hide."

Fu Hua lowered her eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Then, many things that emerged in her memories turned that smile into bitterness, and her eyes with a soft smile also dimmed. Fu Hua spoke, with a lost feeling, and said slowly:

"I suffered great mental pressure due to hyperthymesia, so I chose to clean up unimportant memories regularly and only keep the experiences that mattered to me in my heart. Later, some things happened, and my memories were lost passively or actively in accidents and battles. Until now, there's really not much I can tell you."

"But the cause of everything, the darkness and despair 50,000 years ago, is still clearest in my memory now..."

In order to make up for the concealment from Angel and to respond to Ji Lin and Ah Lin's expectations, Fu Hua described the past that has been imprinted in people's hearts to this day.

Previous Era, Flamechasers, Finality, Project Stigma, Project Ember.

It was just a rough introduction, not a very detailed one. Fu Hua herself couldn't tell whether she couldn't remember it or didn't understand it in detail at the beginning.

Despite this, the straightforward words have already outlined a hertory that people cannot let go of for a long time, and also showed the extraordinary image of Fu Hua in her ordinary life.

Book of Fuxi sat on Fu Hua's shoulder, holding her mini but warm teacup and drinking tea. Although she already knew all this and she even knew it more clearly than Fu Hua, who had lost her memory, But after hearing Fu Hua's calm face telling these things, Book of Fuxi gradually sighed and closed her eyes, silently sticking to Fu Hua's face.

"Little Fuxi, I'm fine, it's all in the past."

"We are all family. You can lie to others, but you can't pretend in front of me. You know best whether it's over or not."

Book of Fuxi scratched Fu Hua's face, and there was a bit of softness in her calm eyes. She couldn't empathize with Fu Hua, but in the long time of getting along, she had already deeply understood the unsolvable pain.

"Little Fuxi..."

Fu Hua was touched.

The understanding eyes and the gentle companionship that was unspoken.

Fu Hua was very familiar with what Book of Fuxi brought, so she easily sank into it.

Pain is something that is shared by someone and endured alone, which is completely different.

Then, before Fu Hua could think about it, two soft and subtle fragrances hit her arms.

"Master!!"

"Jingwei!!!!"

Angel and Ji Lin hugged her with tears in their eyes, rubbing Fu Hua's body hard, forcing her to work hard to maintain a sitting position, with both hands in the air, not knowing whether to push away or hug, and not knowing which one to hug first.

After a while, Fu Hua was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and was in a hurry to comfort the two. The sudden intimacy completely pulled her out of those memories, and she had no time to feel sad.

"It is said that after the worst comes the best. It seems that this blockhead has suffered enough and her luck finally started to change? By the way, why don't you rush over?"

Book of Fuxi, who escaped in time, sat on the Yin-Yang ball, swinging her chubby legs, and looked at Ah Lin with a squint.

Ah Lin scratched her head in embarrassment.

"No, I didn't make it."

"It seems that although you are the same person, there are many differences between you and Ji Lin."

"Hehe, my sister is more direct than me."

"She is also more troublesome than you. Remember, don't learn those bad things from her."

Book of Fuxi taught, glanced at Fu Hua with a helpless smile, and couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.

It's so good to be lively. Our Mount Taixu has always been too deserted—but she has to watch over it. If you just rely on your stupid brain, something like those Seven idiots playing with Edge of Taixuan might happen again.

What kind of idiots are they? They are completely not worthy of touching my immortal! If I had woken up five hundred years earlier...

Book of Fuxi suppressed the anger in her heart and turned to think.

"It's not a big deal to keep rejecting the invitations of the current Shenzou regime and the contemporary martial arts, but Jingwei, Emperor Xuanyuan, and I definitely can't go. It's too easy to become a political signal. But what Angel-chan said..."

Chapter 172 Your Anxiety Comes from Weakness (2x)

"Situ, our dear Angel will be entrusted to you for now. You must take good care of her. And Angel, have fun and don't feel any pressure. Just think of it as visiting people on my behalf."

"Okay, Uncle Xiao Xuan!"

Angel nodded seriously, wearing a black and red Gothic Lolita dress, looking elegant, cute, and extremely well-behaved.

Situ Qinghong twitched the corner of her mouth and put on an awkward but polite smile.

As the official representative of Shenzhou, her task was indeed to invite members of the Mount Taixu forces for a visit and exchange.

In name only, it was an exchange, but the goal was naturally to pull this super-standard force that originally belonged to Shenzhou into the official government.

Now, it's members have indeed been invited, but why send the little apprentice of Immortal Phoenix!?

It's not like they haven't experienced this before. Cheng Lixue was a guest previously, but Immortal Jingwei never showed up. Cheng Lixue herself kept silent about her master's attitude, made it clear she was a junior and a vassal, and eventually went to Schicksal to become a Valkyrie.

'Good grief, this time she's directly the Valkyrie of Schicksal! Are we bringing back another little child who can only be coaxed?'

Situ Qinghong smiled and could only nod helplessly in acknowledgment of Book of Fuxi's smiling, pretending-to-be-confused expression.

"Well, we can't expect to achieve everything at once. As long as there is progress."

She comforted herself and led Angel away from Mount Taixu.

...

Later, Fu Hua, with a bit of worry between her eyebrows, walked out of the house and approached Book of Fuxi.

"Is this really okay?"

"Are you afraid they will harm Angel, or that Angel will be fooled by them?"

Book of Fuxi turned her head and asked slowly.

Fu Hua thought about it and shook her head.

"Angel's Edge of Taixuan is formidable, and she has a Divine Key. I am not worried about her safety. It's mainly that the current officials are too persistent. They have always hoped I would help them."

"I understand. Your principle is to protect but not interfere with Shenzhou's development. Being pursued by a modernized regime must be a headache for you, right?"

"It's not just because of the principles of the Project Ember, but more importantly because of the current world situation. Today, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy each dominate a hemisphere and control everything about the collapse and the fate of civilization. Shenzhou's independent development can be ignored by both parties for now, but if I get involved, it will be too conspicuous—if nothing else, at least Otto's reaction will be unpredictable."

Fu Hua rubbed her temples worriedly.

It's not that she doesn't want to see Shenzhou's power develop and support the future of civilization. However, compared with Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, which each hold part of the legacy of the previous civilization, Shenzhou has too little foundation. Low-key development is their only choice.

Moreover, with the appearance of the Herrschers one by one, and Finality is approaching step by step. In this situation, it is better to have as few dominant voices as possible—the result of a pluralistic and chaotic power structure was demonstrated by the previous era, and Fu Hua does not want to see the same disaster again.

"You can tell me these things slowly when you have time. I'm not bragging, but you can beat hundreds of me in fighting Honkai beasts. However, in terms of politics and people's hearts, the gap between us is vast. So leave these problems to me. When you have nothing to do, you can be more dazed or practice boxing. This is your job."

Book of Fuxi suggested seriously and patted Fu Hua's forehead lovingly, like patting a big dog at home.

Fu Hua agreed but also smiled awkwardly.

"Well, I do have a big problem now, and I want to discuss it with you."

"And we have to avoid little Angel, right?"

"How did you know?"

"Who do you think I am? I am the chief steward of Mount Taixu, the personal little book spirit of the Immortal Phoenix, and the smart and wise Book of Fuxi! I can see through your little tricks with my eyes closed!"

Book of Fuxi tilted her head in disdain.

Just by looking at Fu Hua's thoughtful, hesitant look in the middle of the night, Book of Fuxi could guess most of it.

And this is the main reason why she temporarily sent Angel away.

It can only be said that the smart and wise chief steward of Mount Taixu is well-deserved!

So the courtyard was set with simple but delicious tea and snacks, and a group of Mount Taixu elders sat around and listened to Fu Hua's story about Angel.

The birth and conspiracy of the Herrscher of Thunder, the fall of Nagazora City, Angel's past of losing her parents and being bullied, then awakening and killing some bullies, then entering school, and now... she is afraid of the truth that is so close.

After a short story, the courtyard was left with only the cool mountain breeze blowing, and no one spoke.

Ji Lin drank tea silently, feeling the smooth touch of the cup, and lowered her eyes in silence.

'It's a strange feeling to hear this from others.'

The hatred for her parents cannot be forgotten.

Although those emotions have been alleviated with the disappearance of the mastermind Cocolia, Angel is far from indifferent and perhaps will never be able to be. She can say she's not affected, but that's just a surface wound.

Book of Fuxi pressed her forehead and sighed:

"I knew you blockhead would bring me a big problem!"

"Sorry."

"Don't, I don't blame you. I'm just saying Angel's problem is very serious. It's not easy for this child to get to where she is today. We must make a perfect plan and can't let her get into trouble again."

That's what she said, but Book of Fuxi understood how difficult the problem was.

It's easier to deal with if you don't know the truth, but when you've guessed the truth and stopped there, it's really hard to start.

"Personality and ability are shaped by the environment. The child's caring and extremely vengeful nature is probably brewed in the despair of losing everything. Behind the child's well-behaved and sensible appearance, her emotions and reason have already been shaky. We must be cautious and think twice before acting. Ji Lin, what do you think?"

Seeing Ji Lin's indifferent expression, Book of Fuxi asked casually.

Ji Lin blinked blankly.

Uh...What did they just say?

I take care of people because I like them, and I have already maxed out my housework proficiency, so I just do it casually. As for holding a grudge, I held a grudge in my previous life. For example, the old classmate who stole my topic has not graduated yet because of my little manipulation. It has nothing to do with the experience in this world, right?

Ji Lin took a sip of tea, moistened her lips, then slapped the table and said:

"I think Fuxi-chan is right. Angel is too pitiful. We have to support her!"

Book of Fuxi, Fu Hua, and Ah Lin all nodded, expressing their approval of Ji Lin's correct nonsense.

Then everyone in Mount Taixu fully exchanged their opinions.

It was mainly Book of Fuxi who analyzed the situation. Fu Hua occasionally interrupted, and the confused Ah Lin and the pretending Ji Lin nodded in agreement throughout the process.

However, in the end, no perfect strategy was discussed.

It should be said that there is no perfect strategy for this kind of problem. Angel will always be hurt, it's just a matter of degree.

After thinking for a long time, Book of Fuxi shook her head tiredly and sighed:

"In fact, at this point, advance arrangements are meaningless. What's important is that on the day the truth is revealed, we must have the confidence to protect little Angel no matter what. In other words, the key now is not Angel or others, but you, the blockhead!"

"Hmm?"

"You have become weaker, so weak that Otto Apocalypse can easily control you, so weak that you can't even protect Angel's life in the current situation. The weak have no choice, and this is your source of anxiety."

Book of Fuxi said decisively, turning to Fu Hua with a sharp light in her eyes.

Fu Hua's hands trembled, and after a moment, she pursed her lips and lowered her head speechlessly.

Yes, if she was still the invincible Immortal Phoenix, then whether to support Angel to the end, to stop the conflict between Angel and Saint Freya's people while ensuring safety, or to make other choices, it was Fu Hua's freedom.

But now, no matter which way she takes, it was not absolute.

The reason she has no choice is that she lacks strength.

"My injuries are too severe. Both my body and spirit are overwhelmed... You are right. The reason why I am so uneasy is because I know that even if I risk my life, I can't absolutely protect Angel."

"The problem is simpler. Don't worry too much about the injuries that are too late to prevent, but focus on the day that is destined to come! On the day when Angel is most vulnerable, we must ensure that she survives intact before talking about the future."

"But, even Otto doesn't have a good way to deal with my injuries. It is impossible for me to get better!"

"Don't panic. I have other ways. I have been communicating and preparing for them. In addition, don't forget the two silly girls over there. You are not alone, you blockhead."

There was a hint of a smile in Book of Fuxi's voice.

Fu Hua followed her instructions and looked over. She saw Ji Lin and Ah Lin looking at her with smiles on their faces. Their beautiful eyes, like clear gemstones, were full of support and encouragement for her.

Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, and then her anxious mood for Angel suddenly eased a lot.

Chapter 173 Worthy of Being Lord Shamash

As soon as Gray Serpent entered the conference room, he saw Jackal lying face down on the table. Her thick brown curly hair was wrapped around her voluptuous body, but her motionless appearance made her look like a large canine that had lost its soul.

"Lord Shamash, what happened to Jackal?"

"She has been studying the information on MANTIS Soldiers without sleep, so when I entered the room just now, she was barely standing."

"She overworked herself."

Gray Serpent looked at Jackal lying down, and his tone softened a bit. Who wouldn't appreciate a colleague who works hard for a great cause?

Shamash lifted her chubby legs in a noble and cold manner and said calmly, "Maybe I shouldn't have given her so much information at once. I see a familiar and disturbing fanaticism in her."

"Uh, you mean... that lord?"

Gray Serpent touched the chin of his mask thoughtfully.

The core information on MANTIS is actually confidential. It has long been stored in Gray Serpent's data network and has never been shared with Jackal. It's not that they don't trust her, but the MANTIS experiment is extremely radical and its results highly unpredictable. The excessive consumption and the experimental results that can easily go awry do not align with the guidelines that World Serpent has always followed.

If it weren't for ELF Shamash's return, which provided the absolute force needed to suppress any experimental changes, and Taixuan group's request to treat Fu Hua, these data might have remained sealed in Gray Serpent's database forever.

Gray Serpent has no objection to sharing the data, but he is somewhat opposed to Shamash's insinuation.

"I think you're overthinking it. There's no comparison between Jackal and the doctor."

In his affirmative tone, Gray Serpent revealed his absolute respect for Mobius, the founder of the MANTIS program. He admitted that while Jackal was a good colleague with scientific research abilities barely reaching the level of a civilization's treasure, she was far behind the doctor in every sense.

Then Jackal raised her head, and her golden eyes looked at Gray Serpent coldly. "Did I hear you looking down on me?"

"Jackal, your eyes?"

"Oh, nothing. I just made some small changes to myself on a whim. Don't worry about it."

"Are you crazy? You've only been exposed to these materials for a few days and haven't even conducted relevant human experiments, but you added the Honkai Beast gene to your body. You're threading thin ice!"

Gray Serpent scolded harshly. With the appearance of the Herrschers one by one, the window period for the Project Stigma is approaching. At this time, a talent with good scientific research ability is crucial. Gray Serpent cannot accept that Jackal would risk her life now.

Then he realized the meaning of Shamash's words. If nothing else, this kind of madness that others cannot understand is truly similar to Mobius' shadow.

Jackal leaned back slowly, twisted her neck and shoulders, and relaxed the heavy burden on her chest, saying nonchalantly, "MANTIS technology and Meta-morpth surgery are mature technologies of previous era, not unverified theories starting from scratch. What's the big deal? Besides, I'm fine, right? Not only did I not go out of control, but my physical fitness has also improved significantly. I'll have more time to think and study in the future. It's really a good thing!"

Jackal admired her crystal-clear and beautiful nails, knowing that these delicate fingers, which looked like works of art, now had the power to tear soulium apart. She smiled with satisfaction.

Gray Serpent suppressed the shock in his heart, and after his scarlet electronic eyes flashed for a while, he said coldly, "This will not happen again. Your self-transformation experiment is temporarily listed as a taboo behavior."

"Hey! We're at the same level, right? What right do you have to boss me around? In terms of merit and hard work, am I any worse than you?"

"But you're gone awry now! Before the successful implementation of the Project Stigma, your body and brain are not allowed to have any accidents. You're not allowed to mess around!"

"Damn! I didn't humiliate you, right!?"

Jackal slammed the table and stood up. Her sharp nails penetrated the steel plate, leaving five holes on the table, and she stared at Gray Serpent fiercely.

The situation was tense, and the two World Serpent agents were about to fight on the spot. Suddenly, a flash of fire passed by carelessly, piercing through the gunpowder-filled air, leaving a blood mark on Jackal's face.

"Have you quarreled enough?"

Shamash slowly put down the little hand holding the burning sword and sat on the mini throne with a cold expression. The amazing heat and terrifying pressure spread in the room.

After a while, Gray Serpent and Jackal bowed their heads at the same time.

"Excuse me, I was impulsive, Lord Shamash."

"Tsk! I know!"

They made different sounds, but both looked submissive.

Shamash's expression softened a little and said, "Gray Serpent's worries are not unreasonable. Jackal, I respect your professional level, but you still have to be cautious. I don't want the experimental accident I have to deal with one day to come from you."

"Okay, okay, I'll restrain myself in the future, okay?"

Jackal sat down with a grumble.

Gray Serpent also breathed a sigh of relief silently. This smart and capable but difficult-to-control colleague sometimes gave him a headache, but fortunately, there was Lord Shamash to suppress her! As expected of Lord Kevin's ELF unit, it's so reassuring!

After strengthening his belief in Kevin and Shamash, Gray Serpent coughed and got down to business.

"Mount Taixu asked again about the treatment of Lord Hua. Jackal, how is your research progress on the information? Are you sure?"

"No!"

"Huh? Didn't you transform yourself?"

Gray Serpent loudly disagreed with Jackal's righteous words. Then Jackal knocked on the table impatiently, crossed her arms, and said, "If you read a little more, you'd know that every MANTIS Soldier is different and unique! Especially for a MANTIS Soldier like Lord Hua, who has survived for 50,000 years and is also involved in the spiritual realm, her physical condition and the trauma she has suffered are extremely complex. Besides, I haven't even examined her body yet, so how can I be sure?"

"I...you...you can't be without any progress, right?"

In Jackal's well-reasoned rebuttal, Gray Serpent's momentum weakened, but he still asked unwillingly.

Jackal paused, then sighed, "Well, if I have to say, I should be able to heal the physical trauma...but that's as far as I can go. I suspect her real dangerous injury isn't in the body. That's the most difficult part!"

"In the spiritual realm, is it possible to ask Lord Su for help?"

Gray Serpent subconsciously looked at Shamash. Shamash was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "No need to specifically seek out Su. He can see everything in the Cosmic Juggernaut, and he will act if he can. If he doesn't act, it's either because he is powerless or because he has already seen something and doesn't need to intervene. So, we can focus on the physical injuries."

"In other words, we can accept Mount Taixu's request, at least to a relatively satisfactory degree. Then the next question is... should we agree to it?"

Gray Serpent looked at Shamash hesitantly.

From an emotional perspective, serving Flamechasers is a matter of course. The Lords have been friends for 50,000 years, and it's no problem for them to help each other.

But from a rational perspective, the Project Stigma ultimately opposes Project Ember.

The former aims to forcibly devour the entire civilization, while the latter seeks to protect the free development of civilization. As the Project Stigma progresses, whether the executors of Project Ember will abandon their mission and follow Kevin, or resolutely stand against him, remains a big question mark.

Gray Serpent cannot make an accurate judgment and feels unqualified to make such a decision, so he can only look at the only qualified person on the scene, Shamash.

"What to choose is Hua's freedom, and Kevin will make his own choice. But in any case, some things will not change, so go and prepare for reception and treatment."

Shamash waved her hand without changing her expression, without any confusion or hesitation.

Gray Serpent was stunned for a moment, then finally nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, no matter whether the paths chosen by the lords are the same, they are all fellow travelers who trust each other with their lives. This friendship will never change. As for whether there will be war or peace in the future, those are problems for Lord Kevin to face and solve. Gray Serpent is not qualified to worry about it.

There's no need. After all, Lord Kevin is invincible, and whether Project Stigma will be implemented actually depends only on his will. It's enough to know this.

Lord Shamash still sees things clearly. She is worthy of being Lord Shamash!

Chapter 174 I Am the Reality

Situ Qinghong comfortably escorted Angel to a massive military base far removed from the secular world.

On the way, they passed orderly and energetic training troops shouting loud slogans. Numerous heavy and colossal vehicles and firepower equipment were also visible.

It seemed that this was a military fortress aimed not only at humans.

Angel got off the armored vehicle with a dazed expression and said, "I remember Master Xiaoxuan said that she was communicating with the contemporary martial arts world?"

"Yes!"

"What are these situations then?"

"Is there any problem? What era is it? How can you be considered a martial arts master if you can't hold a Gatling gun with one hand and fire an RPG with the other?"

Situ Qinghong blinked and replied as if it were obvious.

Angel pondered for a while and nodded. "Yeah, no problem."

"Right, right! I knew it. We are all from Shenzhou. You must understand the fear of insufficient firepower that runs in our blood!" Situ Qinghong smiled and put her arm around Angel's shoulders.

The Shenzhou authorities had already found out everything about Angel long before she came to Shenzhou. Both her parents were from Shenzhou, staying in the Far East just for work. Although they were absorbed by Saint Freya for various reasons, they are still compatriots. Considering her bad experience in the Far East, there was a great possibility of winning her over.

"Since ancient times, Shenzhou has had a unique advantage in the threat of Honkai. At first, it was protected by great gods such as Nuwa, Fuxi, and Emperor Xuanyuan. Later, the Immortal Phoenix guarded it all year round. Until five hundred years ago, when the immortal left, it received various overt and covert care from Schicksal. Therefore, the people of Shenzhou rarely need to consider the threat of Honkai."

"But misfortune and fortune are interdependent. Being taken care of for a long time has led to our lack of due pressure. Although the culture is prosperous, Shenzhou's efforts to resist Honkai are too late."

"The understanding of Honkai and the resistance to Honkai, in terms of the system, scale, and experience, we are far behind the world. If it weren't for the sudden departure of the immortals, the whole of Shenzhou would have learned from the violent turmoil, and perhaps we would still be unaware of the threat of Honkai."

"The base you saw gathers the most elite scientific research, military, and martial arts masters in all of Shenzhou. We live, train, and research here together. All our efforts are for one goal—when the Honkai is rampant, the Herrscher stands on the land of Shenzhou, and we can use our own power to protect our people!" Situ Qinghong led Angel into a huge building with a strong military style, talking all the while.

Angel blinked in confusion. She didn't know much about the official Shenzhou, so she asked doubtfully, "But is this preparation really useful? Why not directly seek help from Schicksal or Anti-Entropy? Aren't they more professional?"

"What are the consequences of entrusting the responsibility and rights of protection to others? Haven't you experienced it in the Far East?" Situ Qinghong smiled, but there was a bit of coldness in her eyes.

Angel held the sword and lowered her eyes speechlessly.

The disaster in Nagazora was certainly caused by Cocolia, but as the local guardian force, the Far East Branch’s negligence is also irrefutable.

Don’t talk about the internal power struggle of Anti-Entropy in the early stage, and the reason that Schicksal should not intervene. The fact is that the Far East Branch did not play its due protective role in this disaster.

Situ Qinghong smiled coldly and said, "Angel, do you know what it means to give up the guardianship?"

"I have heard a little about it."

"That's easy. Letting Schicksal or Anti-Entropy stay means that economic and political sovereignty will be controlled by others. At that time, what industries to develop and what laws to make will depend on others' faces, not on the actual needs of Shenzhou. If all the girls of school age in a town disappear one day, or even the city itself disappears directly from the map, it is not something we can ask about—in a word, this is a necessary sacrifice to protect the world!"

"..."

Angel was completely speechless.

The simplest example is right in front of us. The Far East's Nagazora City disappeared. What happened next?

The Far East government protested symbolically and earned enough sympathy on the international stage.

What happened next?

Nothing happened next.

Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, the two responsible organizations, did not receive any substantial punishment or losses, and even almost no accusations.

Everything remains the same. The Far East Branch is still the emperor of the Far East, and Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are still the great and glorious organizations that protect half of the world. As for everything in Changkong City... Guarding has a price, and no one wants to see this kind of thing, right? Since you don't want similar incidents to happen again, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and give more benefits to your own guardian power and make more contributions!

Theresa and Welt will not be so dark, and even Otto himself is not an ambitious person pursuing interests, but the overall world pattern is like this. This is reality, and no one can change it.

Angel understood the idea of the Shenzhou officials, then shook her head and said, "But Honkai is not a simple problem. If you insist on doing this, there won't be any good results."

"How do you know if you don't try? Maybe this whole base will be burned down one day, and we will all fall in blood and fire, but as long as there is one person left in Shenzhou, we will continue to work hard and do everything we can to protect this land! Angel, in popular words, this is the romance of us Shenzhou people!"

Situ Qinghong smiled brightly and gave Angel a thumbs up.

Although there was no invitation throughout the whole process, for the Shenzhou people who have cultural memories flowing, just this kind of narration is very attractive.

Angel can't blame those countries that gave up power for protection, because that is also a choice based on reality. But ask yourself, if she wasn't a Herrscher, if she wasn't found by Saint Freya first, maybe she would also be moved by such a Shenzhou, right?

"We are here. There are many seniors who have been waiting for a long time! The disciple of the Red Kite Immortal, the one we met last time really impressed us!"

Situ Qinghong pushed open a heavy door. Inside the door, a group of warriors and officers exuding a strong momentum cast curious or sharp eyes at Angel.

Angel took a deep breath. Now she is no longer afraid of any big scene, so she walked in calmly.

After a long time, there was a shout that penetrated the heavy wall, and there were continuous heavy objects hitting the wall. Cracks appeared on the wall one after another, as if something in the house was smashed against the wall.

Afterwards, through the broken door, many people walked in with all kinds of equipment with confidence, and soon came out unconscious.

When Angel came, the whole base was in order.

When Angel left, the infirmary of the base was full.

"Your ideals are great. I sincerely wish you success. I would even like to help you.

"But reality is heavy. Please recognize this.

"Today, I am the reality you face.

"Goodbye. Thank you for your hospitality."

Before leaving, Angel held the sword, her Gothic black dress fluttering gracefully in the wind, like a little princess holding a toy sword, but she left behind cold and frustrating words.

In the strong wind brought by the car, Situ Qinghong scratched her head and smiled bitterly.

"Yes, this is reality. Otherwise, why would we pursue the power of Mount Taixu so hard?"

Under this heavy blow, even she, who always smiled, suddenly couldn't laugh.

"It's really far away, the distance between us and the world..."

Chapter 175: Angel Wants the Bear Underwear

"So, the result of your trip was beating them up?"

"They said they wanted to see the skills of Taixu's disciples," Angel replied weakly.

Book of Fuxi's mouth twitched. She covered her face, raised her head, and sighed. "It's over. Now they will definitely come to harass me more fanatically!"

"I didn't mean it."

"No! Elmhead told me that you are a very clever little girl! You must have done it on purpose, trying to get us to help, right?"

Book of Fuxi hit Angel's forehead with her small fist, speaking unhappily.

Of course, she knew the gap between Shenzhou and the world in Honkai energy technology. They have been studying for thousands of years, and Otto, the monster, has dragged them to develop for five hundred years. Needless to say, they have a strong foundation.

At first glance, Anti-Entropy was indeed established not long ago, but they started with as the North American branch of Schicksal and were a mature anti-Honkai organization from the beginning. With the unique support of the First Herrscher and a group of geniuses who appeared in the century for reasons unknown, they worked together on advanced technology, which is why they have the current foundation.

Without Mount Taixu to provide the highest military support and technical inheritance, Shenzhou would not know how long it would take to catch up with these two behemoths.

This has nothing to do with other things. Shenzhou’s only mistake was that it was taken care of too well by Project Ember and the responsible Fu Hua, so it started too late, and everything was too late.

Book of Fuxi knew that the appearance of the Herrschers was accelerating and also knew Kevin’s military strength and Project Stigma he promoted. To be honest, the civilization of this era has entered the countdown, and the moment to determine the final fate of mankind is at hand.

At this moment, going down to help Shenzhou will have no effect except breaking the balance of the world situation and brewing unnecessary power struggles.

As she had said before, it’s too late. It’s already too late.

At this time, the only way that could play a role in the future is to seize the time to help Fu Hua heal her wounds and urge Ji Lin and Angel to practice Edge of Taixuan more.

Book of Fuxi wanted to tell everyone about these considerations. But after looking at the calm and peaceful Fu Hua, the two sisters who were holding their faces and staring at Fu Hua intently, and then looking at Angel who was still a junior, she finally sighed and kept everything in her heart.

"In short, don't get involved in Shenzhou's affairs. I know it's cruel, but the real battlefield is not on this land," Book of Fuxi said earnestly and smiled at Angel, feeling somewhat satisfied.

Although she was a little mean to her elders, her original intention was to recognize and care for her compatriots in her homeland. Book of Fuxi recognized this intention, and she liked this cunning and intelligence that was different from Fu Hua's.

There were too many stupid people around her, and Book of Fuxi was very happy that Fu Hua chose a filial but scheming disciple this time.

"Yes, I understand, Uncle Fuxi." Angel scratched her head in embarrassment, as if her little thoughts were seen through.

In fact, she could figure out the reasons that Book of Fuxi didn't say and even understood it better than Book of Fuxi. The battlefield was not in Shenzhou or anyone else, but in Kiana and Kevin, the two ultimate strong humans who could carry the power of Finality.

The path they chose truly determined the fate of mankind.

Angel didn't think about joining the Shenzhou forces. It was meaningless. More Herrscher power and the divine power stolen by Mr. Otto were her real hopes.

But they were fellow villagers in various senses. At least let them see the real gap, remind them, and improve the weight of the Taixu disciple identity. It was enough to do this.

"Little girl, there is a lively Nian festival at the foot of the mountain recently. Are you interested in going out for a walk?" Book of Fuxi put aside those complicated and troublesome political issues for the time being, rolled her eyes, and suggested to Angel with a smile.

Angel blinked in a daze. "Kite... Festival?"

"Yes, all kinds of kites flying in the sky, like entering another world, like gods and ghosts descending on the earth. Very wonderful! Have you seen it?"

"I've just heard about it. It's better to say that I haven't been back to Shenzhou for a long time. It seems very interesting?" Angel tightened the ancient sword in her arms. Her ignorant voice was a little confused and nostalgic. Her childish face made people feel pity.

Book of Fuxi didn't know what kind of past experience shs had imagined and looked at Angel lovingly and gently.

"How about going together? Me, your master, Aunt Ji Lin, and Aunt Ah Lin will take you to see the kites."

"...Yes! I want to go!" Angel raised an expectant smile.

……

The kites in the sky were indeed all kinds of strange shapes, including flowers, trees, cartoon characters, big pants, and all sorts of odd shapes and large octopuses that seemed to defy logic. These whimsical images crowded the vast sky, accompanied by continuous exclamations and laughter from the crowd.

Angel was held by Fu Hua with one hand and Ji Lin with the other, while Book of Fuxi sat on her head, looking like the cutest pet in the family.

In fact, except for Ji Lin, in the eyes of other people in Mount Taixu, Angel was truly the most precious pet now.

"Little Angel, how about it, do you want to fly a fun kite?"

"Eh? Can I fly a bear panties-shaped one?"

A group of elders staggered together.

In the midst of the whimsical scene and the happy atmosphere, Angel followed her instincts, letting go of some of her worries and letting it fly.

Seeing Angel's sparkling eyes, several parents gathered together and whispered.

"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!"

"But little Angel seems to be looking forward to it."

"How about just this once?"

"Children are naughty and lively by nature. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

After some discussion, the omnipotent Book of Fuxi instructed the three adults to work hard. Soon, a lifelike kite of little bear panties was made on the spot.

When it was delivered to Angel, she snatched it away and ran as if afraid her beloved toy would be taken away.

"Master! Uncle! I'm going to fly a kite! Haha!"

It was amazing. Seeing the delicate little girl holding the panty kite, running on the grass with her short legs swinging wildly, with a wanton smile on her face that she had never seen before, Fu Hua was shocked at first, then suddenly felt very relieved.

"To be honest, I've never seen her laugh like this, even though I'm her master."

"You're such a blockhead. What do you know about raising a child? Have you ever taken her out to play?"

"No."

In fact, not only did she not, but it was Angel who took her, her master, out to play many times.

Fu Hua scratched her face, speechless with embarrassment.

And Angel, in Ji Lin's secret envy, simply threw away the burden of her character and laughed in the wind. She was very happy. Because there was no threat here, she was sure that everyone in Mount Taixu was sincere to her.

"Master, make me another kite with white silk and long legs!"

"Wait! Where did you learn these things?"

"Eh? Is it weird?" Angel tilted her head innocently, pointing at the big pants in the sky and the kite of the beautiful girl in the two-dimensional mobile game.

Fu Hua's mouth twitched. "The rituals and music are broken! People's hearts are no longer the same as the previous era!"

"But I think..."

As for the elders, just act like a spoiled child. Angel thought freely, then put on a wet, pure, and eager look.

Fu Hua's mouth twitched again. "... Wait for me for ten minutes."

"Great! I like Master the most!" Angel jumped happily.

Then Ji Lin suddenly wrapped her arms around Fu Hua, pouted, and said loudly:

"Chotto Matte! It's obviously me who likes Chiyuan the most! It's me! Jingwei, I want a kite too, a kite in the shape of Jingwei!"

"Ji Lin, why are you fighting with a child!?"

Beside her, Book of Fuxi sipped her tea and shook her head slowly. "Tsk tsk tsk! Shura Field, I never thought that this day would come for this person! My two masters in the heavens, you can rest assured, our piece of wood at home finally met a blind person!"

She didn't forget to wipe the corners of her eyes that were not wet with emotion.

"Little Fuxi, don't just stand there and watch the show!"

Fu Hua's screams spread throughout Mount Taixu.

Chapter 176: Okay, Let's Go Heal

With a magical girl mask hanging on the side of her face and a candied haws in her mouth, Angel was walking in the bustling night market, so happy that she forgot about herself.

Today, she is not the cunning Herrscher of Dominance, nor is she an orphan with great bitterness and hatred, but the most favored child in Mount Taixu. There is no need to scheme or pretend, just obey the favor of her elders and enjoy pure happiness.

This feeling is very good.

"Master, master, there is a girl group performing over there! I want to watch it!"

"Okay, okay, walk slower, there are a lot of people, don't bump into them."

With a soft smile that was helpless but gradually getting used to, Fu Hua followed Angel's hand and followed.

The overall appearance of the collapsing world seems to be enhanced by some kind of power. It is incredibly high. Those who can perform on stage as a girl group are naturally all beautiful girls with incredible beauty, the kind of girls who can be placed in a team of Valkyries with good looks and not fall behind.

Angel focused on her beautiful legs, slender waist, and small buttocks. From time to time she was attracted by the dangling white jugs. At the same time, she touched her chin and nodded in appreciation:

"Well, it's very moist!"

"Indeed, they all look pretty! Little Angel, you have good taste!"

"Hehe! Uncle Fuxi praised me!"

"Would you like to find a time for Elmhead to dress and perform like this? Believe me, Elmhead looks cold, but she is actually quite interesting!"

"Isn't it bad? I feel like Master will be angry."

"Otherwise, just get her drunk. I know her drinking capacity."

The uncle and nephew, who had similar interests, were whispering to each other.

However, Fu Hua was by his side, so how could shs miss these words? Before she could reprimand her, Ji Lin forcibly put her arm on her shoulders and turned Fu Hua towards her.

"Jingwei, I will look forward to it very much!"

"...in your dreams!"

Fu Hua almost cursed Shenzhou. Immortals also have fire, especially when the family has already brought the immortal back to the human world, the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy will naturally return to the state of mind that has been calm for a long time.

"Love you’—~~"

With a sweet smile and a sweet voice, the singer on stage ended the performance with a sweet gesture and song that made people fall in love. Angel covered her little heart and couldn't stop grinning.

"Oops, I seem to be in love, Uncle Fuxj!"

"Not to mention, it does have some skills, which makes people feel itchy."

"But no, my love belongs to Himeko, I have already decided!"

"As far as I know, Murata Himeko is the A-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal and the second-in-command of Saint Freya, right? What kind of person is she? Why do you like her?"

Book of Fuxi asked curiously. She didn't care about the orientation of her little apprentice in the mountains. But she was very curious about the object of her young apprentice's admiration.

Ahem! It's not gossip! I just care about events experienced by my charge's little disciple! As an elder, this is normal, right?

Angel looked away from the beautiful girl group on the stage, turned her head, and blinked her shining purple eyes slowly.

Why do you like Himeko? She really didn't seem to have thought much about this issue.

Angel tapped her chin with her index finger and muttered to herself uncertainly and hesitantly:

"Because after going through a lot of messy things, Himeko is the first person to care about me, and she is very beautiful... Is that so?"

"Oh! That's it! Love at first sight, and lust at first sight, is that what it is?"

"Well... I just like her, there's no other reason why!"

"It makes sense and makes sense. Emotions are unreasonable. Just look at your own feelings!"

Book of Fuxi nodded one after another and looked at Angel with relief. Look at how worry-free this little apprentice is. She is talented, hard-working, and smart. She doesn't t even have to rush to find a partner. Shs is ten or even nine times better than Yu Mu-head, whose only mission is to practice martial arts all day long!

Oh, she almost forgot that Angel also has a very troublesome baggage!

"Hiss!" Book of Fuxi took a deep breath, and her little head began to hurt again.

"Mom! Balloon, my balloon!"

Not far away, a child suddenly called anxiously. Book of Fuxi and Fu Hua had just turned their gazes when they saw a petite and light shadow running through the gaps in the crowd like an agile kitten, stepping on the stone piers on the roadside, and drawing a graceful arc in the air.

A moment later, Angel spun to the ground gracefully, with a cool expression on her face.

She held the balloon that had flown to a high place in one hand and handed it to the little girl who stared blankly.

"Confucius said, the actions of the saints can change customs, and the teachings can be applied to the people, and they are not just suitable for one's own behavior. Now in the country of Lu, there are few rich people and many poor people. If you take their gold, it will not harm your practice. If you don't take it, it will not harm your practice. You can't redeem anyone anymore, so the balloon is yours and the marshmallow is mine!"

Angel explained seriously, and then calmly grabbed the ball of brushed marshmallow from the little girl's hand.

The little girl still had a blank expression. The girl's mother stretched out her hand to touch her face, showing a gentle aunty smile.

Angel turned around and gave a thumbs up to Book of Fuxi and Fu Hua who were stunned. A cute pear smile appeared on her originally innocent little face.

After a while, Fu Hua came over, dumbfounded, and negotiated with the child's mother, who had an aunty smile on her face.

"Sorry, sorry, this kid is a bit naughty."

"No, no, she's very cute. Not only is she very skilled, but she should also be good at reading, right?"

"To tell you the truth, she ranks first in grade every time she takes an exam!"

"That's amazing, you have to cultivate it well!"

The two parties naturally started to exchange their parenting experiences, although Fu Hua actually only listened. Book of Fuxi also floated over and poked Angel's forehead weakly. There was no blame in his smile, only full of love.

"Want to eat marshmallows?"

"Just because I saw it!"

Angel puffed up her chest proudly, then stretched out her little pink tongue and licked the sugar strands greedily.

The little girl pulled Angel's arm at this time, pointing her little finger at Book of Fuxi, her eyes shining brightly.

"Sister, is this a fairy?"

"No, it's the latest smart robot!"

"Where can I buy it?"

"Still in the testing phase, it is a commercial secret for the time being, and we refuse to disclose it!"

Angel and Book of Fuxi crossed their arms at the same time, speaking skillfully and in tacit understanding.

Well, the same reason can also be used to explain Ah Lin in floating spirit mode. It can be said that it is the latest artificial intelligence projection. In this era where black technology pops up from time to time, such rhetoric is enough to deceive more than 90% of ordinary people.

As for the remaining people who are overly curious or have ulterior motives, the official will naturally sell Mount Taixu to save face and handle it properly.

After a while, the girl and her mother held hands, Angel and Fu Hua held hands, and they said goodbye.

On this side of the crowd, the little girl was chirping longingly, seemingly begging to buy a Book of Fuxi-like robot, while the mother smiled lightly, with helpless tenderness on her face. On the other side of the crowd, Fu Hua and

Book of Fuxi were beside Angel, whispering something to her. Angel blinked her big, watery eyes, sometimes looking to the left and sometimes to the right. In the bright street lights, she gradually smiled and her eyes widened.

"Thank you, Master, Master."

Walking to the deserted suburban road, Angel suddenly said.

A life without danger and with ease is actually what Angel originally pursued.

Although she knew that there was a long road ahead and there were still many things that needed to be done, it was nice to give herself a carefree vacation once in a while.

Fu Hua and Book of Fuxi looked at each other and smiled. One smiled and touched Angel's head, while the other sat on Angel's shoulder and hummed an ancient and beautiful ballad that no one else knew. It seems that Mount Taixu today has satisfied everyone.

"Speaking of which, Angel, there is something that Master has been wanting to remind you of for some time."

"What?"

"Otto already knows about your misappropriation of Delta's authority. It won't happen again, otherwise he may not expose it lightly again. Otto is a very dangerous person. This is one of the most certain facts I have believed in the past five hundred years."

"So, master knows about Kiana's situation?"

Angel turned her head and looked at Fu Hua, as if she noticed something.

Fu Hua was speechless, then smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Why are you so sharp? I don't even know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Master, what does Kiana have to do with the Babylon Experimental Tower and the Second Eruption?"

"You... don't think so much. Kiana's situation is very complicated and I can't tell you yet. If possible, try to get as little involved in her affairs as possible. Master is asking you to do it, okay?"

Fu Hua had a headache and sighed worriedly. Otto took his experiments very seriously. If she gets involved too deeply, Fu Hua is worried that Angel will also be targeted by Otto. Although this was very sorry for Kiana, in this matter, Fu Hua hoped that it would be enough to face it by herself, and did not want to see Angel being implicated.

Angel lowered her head, was silent for a while, then shook her head and said:

"But Kiana has entrusted me, Master, and I will not ignore her."

"Angel, Kiana's matter is really complicated and dangerous!"

"But Kiana is my best friend."

"you..."

Fu Hua felt that all the relaxation and happiness of the day disappeared in this moment, replaced by heaviness, worry, and heartache, but she could not help feeling relieved and proud.

Look, this is my apprentice. She values friendship, affection, and righteousness, and there is no way to criticize her harshly.

She really doesn't want Angel to be in danger.

But she couldn't stop Angel from caring about her friends. Being a teacher is indeed a mixed bag of joys and sorrows, and people donate know how to deal with it.

When Fu Hua was struggling, Book of Fuxi floated to her head and sat down, then put down a tablet that lit up the screen.

"I don't remember you being a mother-in-law before. Sure enough, the injury was too serious and your strength became weak, so you started to worry a lot? Now, I have some good news for you. The doctor I found is ready and can take you there now for treatment!"

Fu Hua was stunned for a moment.

Then, looking at Angel, Ji Lin and Ah Lin who had surprised expressions around them, Fu Hua pursed her lips and nodded heavily. In the past, she didn't care much about her physical condition. Perhaps she was tired of the endless forgetfulness and loneliness.

Subconsciously, she was actually looking forward to her complete sleep, right?

But now, Fu Hua found that her mentality was completely different.

"Okay, let's go heal. I want to regain my strength as soon as possible."

For everyone around you!

Fu Hua looked calm and unhurried, but with determination that everyone could feel.

Chapter 177: Mr. Otto, Who Never Loses Money

"It will cost 10 million."

"I have quite a fortune!"

Book of Fuxi calmly signed a check and handed it to Jackal without blinking.

Jackal stroked the pattern on the check; the retro texture and the faint smell of ink made her squint in pleasure.

"Ahem! Jackal, pay attention to the occasion!"

Gray Serpent couldn't hold it anymore. It's our duty serve Flamechasers, so why are you collecting tips here? Besides, if we want to repay, it's more like asking Ji Lin or even Lord Hua, who is powerful, to help out in the future—a decent way of return that can't be measured by money, right?

How can we collect tips in person? Where is the dignity of our World Serpent!?

Unexpectedly, the Jackal sneered and said in a more confident tone than the Gray Serpent: "What are you doing there? If you are sick, go and change your parts yourself! Do you know how big a project this is? What's wrong with me charging a little hard work fee? Besides, if I don't charge her, she may not be at ease. For this, she still has to thank me!"

"Yes, thank you!"

Book of Fuxi held the Jackal's fingers with both hands and shook them friendly.

Although she trusted the friendship between Flamechasers very much, Kevin was not here after all. At this time, he came thousands of miles to seek medical treatment, and the World Serpent didn't want anything. Then Book of Fuxi would be uneasy.

Ten million is insignificant, but it is better to give it than not to give it. At least it shows that the World Serpent still has needs and will really take this medical treatment seriously.

Gray Serpent stood there for a long time, looking at the suddenly harmonious atmosphere, and had to admit—well, the Jackal is still more psychological.

---

Fu Hua followed the Jackal into the laboratory with a flat expression, more because of being at a loss. World Serpent, the shadow left by Dr. Mobius, Kevin's follower, a member of the Stigmata Project.

When I heard this from Book of Fuxi, some fragmented memories became clear.

Fu Hua felt a little nostalgic and a little emotional—Ah, I am not the only one who has persisted with the obsession of 50,000 years ago until today!

"Your name is Jackal, right?"

Lying on the experimental table for a long time, Fu Hua looked at Jackal with a particularly complicated look.

The Jackal wore thin film gloves and smiled friendly but could not hide her rebellious nature.

"My real name is Cleo. You can call me whatever you want. You are qualified."

"I heard that Kevin is lost in the quantum sea, and Su is still carrying out the Hengsha plan?"

"Lord Kevin has not returned yet, and we are also working hard. As for Lord Su, your news seems to be out of date. He has come out, although I don't know where he is wandering in the world now."

"What? Su has..."

Fu Hua had no time to ask, as strong weakness and sleepiness surged into her mind, and even the strength to speak quickly disappeared.

When she was drowsy, she heard the voice of the Jackal with a smile:

"Let's talk about those things later. If you want, it will definitely be easier for you to see that lord than us. The potion has taken effect. It will be a long process next. I can't guarantee whether it will hurt or not. However, I believe you can make it through it. Wish us good luck!"

Her eyelashes, as long as black feathers, gradually closed, and Fu Hua could not give any response and fell asleep just like that. Jackal's smile deepened a little; she lowered her head, and after the scalpel flashed like lightning for a while, she took off all of Fu Hua's clothes.

What was exposed in front of her was a rare treasure in the world.

The slender and well-proportioned skeleton supported the flawless body that was white and translucent. The seemingly thin and weak body did not have any fat, only beautiful and shallow muscle lines. The body of ice and jade, the beauty of pearls and jade, was wonderful.

'Swish! I can handle Chi Yuan who is defenseless like this!'

'Ahem! Drag Ji Lin out!'

'Sisters, this is related to Master's health, and we can't relax at all next time!'

With hundreds of auxiliary thinking circuits from the thousand-person theater connected in her mind, the smile on Jackal's face gradually disappeared, and the special scalpel glowed with cold light, close to Fu Hua's skin. "The first step is to do a thorough inspection. Let's get started!"

---

"What did you say? Lord Su has returned to the real world?"

In the reception room of the base, Book of Fuxi dropped the teacup in her hand, stared blankly at the calm and indifferent Shamash, and exclaimed in unison with Fu Hua. She didn't know this news before.

Gray Serpent stood by, looking at Book of Fuxi's sluggish reaction, and felt a subtle sense of superiority—see, this is the difference between formalization and informality. Although everyone is Flamechasers's companion, while you are still leisurely outside, we are directly exposed to the deepest secrets of this world!

Of course, he quickly reflected on his vulgarity and wiped this emotion from his thinking circuit without letting anyone notice it.

I, Gray Serpent, a ruthless World Serpent agent, a precise tool man, will not be proud of this small matter.

"Hua has the right to know this news. Moreover, although it is not 100% certain, Su may appear in the operating room today."

At this time, the people who were shocked included Gray Serpent.

"Lord Shamash, what do you mean?"

"Hua's biggest problem is not her body, but the influence caused by the 'SWARA' for thousands of years. In particular, she also created the so-called Edge of Taixuan on this basis. It is difficult to figure out what state her spiritual realm is in now. So, if there is anyone who can help Hua in this regard, the only person I can think of is Su."

"I see, in this case, with the friendship between Flamechasers, Lord Su may really help!"

Gray Serpent nodded in succession, completely agreeing with Shamash's judgment. Then we should quickly prepare for the reception, right? We also need to think about what to talk to Lord Su about. Should we report the plan to welcome back the Lord or the detailed progress of the stigma plan?

But soon, Gray Serpent's restless thoughts quietly extinguished after seeing Shamash's calm eyes.

Yes, what Flamechasers did, why should he, a World Serpent cadre, worry about it? Let everything go with the flow. If necessary, the Lords will speak naturally. Why bother?

The scarlet electronic eyes dimmed, and Gray Serpent lowered his head slightly, as cold and silent as usual, like an emotionless machine.

Book of Fuxi came back to her senses at this time and slowly approached Shamash:

"Um, Senior Shamash, do you know if Lord Su is free recently? What's his phone number? Can we invite him to Mount Taixu for tea or something?"

"It depends on whether he is willing to show up in front of you. I don't know what he saw in the Project Velaka, nor do I know what he will do next, but I look forward to him giving a new answer—no matter what it is, it's okay, because it's better than this worst choice."

"Yes, if there is a chance, I will try to ask that Lord."

Book of Fuxi responded properly, and the idea of making jokes to get information disappeared in Shamash's serious expression and heavy topic. 'I can't even joke anymore. The masters said that Lord Kevin is a very serious and majestic person. Just looking at him from afar makes people nervous. Now it seems that they are right! After all, even Senior Shamash is like this, what about the real person?'

While complaining, Book of Fuxi realized that Shamash, who had experienced the Finality was indeed carrying a completely different weight from her who had not experienced it.

How can I say those unimaginable awareness and responsibilities?

Book of Fuxi felt a little admiration and a little sympathy.

---

Treatment of Fu Hua's body is a long process.

Although Angel and others digested the full set of techniques of the Meta-Morph Surgery and MANTIS techniques very carefully, there is still an unfathomable distance between theory and practice. They did not have Otto's research on Fu Hua that lasted for hundreds of years. After the physical examination, many of the previous preparations were overturned, and the treatment plan originally envisioned also had new changes.

One day, two days, three days. Book of Fuxi already knew that it was not that simple, so she remained calm, and even took time out from time to time to care about the anxious Ji Lin and Angel, to prevent them from getting impatient and rushing into the gate of the World Serpent with swords.

But on the other side of the planet, a certain Overseer who did not need to be described by name began to be in a bad mood.

"Mr. Otto, Mr. Otto?"

"Hmm? I was distracted just now, right? Sorry."

Otto contacted Yae Sakura in Saint Freya as usual to listen to the progress of the patrol work and the intelligence information about Kiana—of course, everyone knew that he really cared only about the latter. However, today, he was more concerned about a piece of news from Shenzhou than Kiana, who was in a stable condition.

"Mr. Otto, I feel that you have been in a bad mood these two days. Did something happen?"

"Alas, even you can see it. It seems that my hesitation is too obvious!"

"You can tell me what is bothering you, provided that it is convenient for me to know."

"As for you, there is actually nothing inconvenient... Well, I really want to find someone to talk to. My old friend, who has been seriously injured for a long time, is receiving treatment. Not to mention that she will be completely out of my control, there will be a lot of variables. For this matter, I don't know whether to bless her first or have a headache first."

Otto rubbed his temples and shook his head with a wry smile.

The intelligence technology of the Gray Serpent is very good. Except for Angel's unethical tactics of directly replacing colleagues and leaders, even Otto can't intrude into ordinary intelligence wars. But not being able to see does not mean that you can't guess.

Otto knows the existence of the World Serpent, knows the revival of Book of Fuxi, and knows the relationship between Flamechasers and the connection between Book of Fuxi and the World Serpent. In this case, Fu Hua walked into the territory of the World Serpent. If she didn't appear for a long time, it would not be difficult to guess what would happen.

It is better to say that since the day Book of Fuxi revived, Otto had expected this day to come, and now it is just to confirm his prediction.

"I knew this would happen, but I couldn't stop it. Su is an uncontrollable existence, and Ji Lin's limit is difficult to measure. Forcing my old friend to maintain the status quo may ruin my years of business."

"So, Mr. Otto had no choice but to do it. In fact, he didn't want your old friend to get treatment? To be honest, you call him an old friend and still do this. You are so mean."

Yae Sakura looked a little confused, but she still extracted the key information, so she criticized it bluntly. The disapproving look with a bit of condemnation penetrated the screen and pierced Otto's body. Otto's heart choked, and he quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy:

"No, no, no, it's already in my plan to treat my old friend. I just postponed the time a little. I really treat her as a friend. She's not as bad as you think!"

"Is that so?"

Yae Sakura frowned suspiciously.

Otto wanted to explain, but he couldn't continue. If his old friend finally chose to block the road, he would shoot without hesitation, and then slowly treat her and pull her back under control.

Otto had prepared himself for this and was sure that he would do so, so he couldn't defend himself for a while and could only smile bitterly. "Let's not talk about this because I guessed it a long time ago, so I am not completely unprepared. Her disciples still need Saint Freya, and the two sleeping Herrschers are her responsibilities that she cannot ignore. My old friend will cooperate with me, and the problem is not very serious... right?"

"Mr. Otto doesn't seem very confident."

"It's true that I'm not completely confident. After all, my old friend is one of the people who hate me the most!"

"I always feel that Mr. Otto sounds very pitiful."

A bit of sympathy appeared in Yae Sakura's eyes.

If ordinary people dared to sympathize with him, Otto would send them to hell on the spot. But he was only helpless and relieved by Yae Sakura's sympathy. At least Yae Sakura didn't show disgust because of this, and it seemed that she was still firmly on his side. Compared with losing Fu Hua's complete control, it can be regarded as losing something in the east and gaining something in the west, right?

"I'm not at a loss."

Otto told himself so, and his mood improved.

Chapter 178 This is the blessing of companions

First, Ji Lin revived, then Ninti emerged as a new force, and the ELF Shamash showed her power to overwhelm Durandal and then escaped from the headquarters. I am afraid that she has been completely repaired in the World Serpent. After that, one of the Thirteen Flamechasers reappeared in the world with an unstoppable attitude, and his old friend who was once under his control is about to recover her strength.

Although there are new forces like Delta and Yae Sakura joining his side, Otto feels that this chessboard that has lasted for five hundred years is beginning to be out of control.

Is it really that the doomsday judgment is approaching, so civilization has begun to burst out miracles of survival—just like the end of the previous era where strong people and geniuses emerged in an endless stream?

"Alas!"

Otto felt vaguely anxious about these changes. "Rita said that compared to the Oceania branch, which has a lot of bad debts, the Far East branch is extremely clean, and there is basically no problem of rebellion or corruption. But Durandal still found some abnormal expenditures and is carefully checking with Theresa and her financial department." Yae Sakura took the report that had been prepared long ago and told the current situation.

Otto looked focused, saying, "Go on, I'm listening," but in fact, he didn't care at all; he was just thinking about his own plan.

"Theresa and Miss Wuliangta Jizi seem to be a little flustered, which makes Durandal investigate more vigorously. It is worth mentioning that Theresa tried to bribe me with bitter melon juice. I am a little curious. Is her stubborn belief that everyone loves bitter melon juice also from Mr. Otto's bad taste?"

"Yeah."

"Kiana's condition has not changed much. Her physical and mental state is very healthy, and the power dormant in her body is also quite stable. I really hope she can continue like this."

"Ah, right, right!"

"Mr. Otto, are you really listening?"

"Well, you did a good job and deserve praise... Did I reveal something?"

Otto raised his eyebrows with a playful look on his face, making it hard to tell whether he was really joking or just using this performance to perfunctorily pass the test after being exposed.

Yae Sakura blinked slowly, her face wooden, and her rosy cheeks bulged. Otto quickly sat up straight and begged for mercy again:

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I will apologize!"

"Mr. Otto is really confusing. He obviously doesn't care about this information at all, but he still asks us to report to him every day. What are you thinking about?"

"Who said I don't care? It's just that the problem I'm thinking about now is more difficult."

Otto argued righteously.

However, Yae Sakura just stared at him dimly. After a long time, when Otto felt that his butt was about to fall off, she sighed with a complicated expression. "Mr. Otto, I don't know if I should ask, but you have an important plan for Kiana, right? Will it hurt her?"

"You can't bear it?"

"Kiana and Theresa helped me a lot in my liberation process, and I am very grateful to them. Moreover, they are all Kallen's juniors, and I vaguely see Kallen's shadow in them."

Yae Sakura whispered sadly and nostalgically, without any words related to requests, but Otto understood that she wanted him to stop.

If any other reason was used, it would not be possible to shake Otto's will.

But only the argument of Kallen's shadow made his pupils shrink and he unconsciously clenched his fists.

"What if I say that I did all this for Kallen?"

"What did you say? What does this mean?"

Yae Sakura glared with her almond eyes and leaned forward unconsciously toward the screen.

Otto looked at the beautiful miko opposite him with an unclear emotion for a long time, and then asked exhaustedly:

"Nothing, we will discuss it later when we have a chance. Anyway, can you please continue your work, Sakura?"

"...Okay, I understand, Mr. Otto."

Yae Sakura seemed to compromise, softened her attitude in Otto's bleak and somewhat fragile reaction, and ended the communication.

It's not the time yet—Otto thought so.

He began to waver—Yae Sakura said to her other self in her heart.

...

"Well, it seems that the progress is good."

Su stood in Jackal's laboratory, responding to Yae Sakura's self-talk and talking about Fu Hua's surgery.

At this moment, Fu Hua was more sincere and frank than ever before.

For example, her skin was almost exposed by 90%, and a lot of bloody muscles and internal organs were beating actively in the sterile laboratory. It seemed that this completely open state did not affect her life and health at all. By the way, if anyone can have such strange thoughts about Fu Hua in this state, it is recommended that you do not need to see a doctor, and the direct humane destruction method is more suitable for you.

"Huh! It's not easy! But finally the overall situation is sorted out, the twisted and stagnant gene structure is reconnected, and the necrotic tissue that is difficult to reverse is also completely erased and regenerated. The next repair depends on her own recovery ability."

"Your craftsmanship may be a little rougher than Otto's."

"If you have the ability, let me study it for three to five hundred years first! I guarantee that the treatment plan is a hundred times stronger than that guy's!"

Jackal narrowed her eyes dangerously, unfriendly and showed her claws, with a cold and eerie light in the bright room.

"Cough!"

The dry cough of the Gray Serpent sounded in Jackal's ears at the right time, trying to stop her rudeness.

Jackal rolled her eyes. "I told you to change the parts if you have a problem with your throat! I'm not as stupid as you. I know whether I can beat him or not!"

"Ahem!!!!"

Then Jackal simply crushed the headset, not wanting to listen to the guy's mumbling about respecting pioneers and other nonsense.

"Anyway, I have done my best with the physical problems. Next, it's up to you to show your performance, respected Lord Su!"

"Well, I apologize for my impoliteness just now. I didn't mean to mock you. You have strong technical ability and you would not be an unknown person in the previous era."

"No need to say, I understand! Although I look down on him verbally, Otto is indeed a genius. To be honest, I still have a lot to learn."

"Arrogant self-confidence and pragmatic humility, you are better than I thought. I believe that you will shine your own light in this era."

Outside, Gray Serpent in the monitoring laboratory breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, there wasn't any Big mess. Not only that, Jackal has made the World Serpent proud this time!

...

Su(Angel) walked into Fu Hua's spiritual world.

The lake was as clear as a mirror, without any dust or ripples, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. In addition to the dreamlike beauty, there was also extreme silence, which seemed to reflect the incredible realm of Fu Hua's hard practice for thousands of years.

"Alas!"

But Su sighed sadly.

Kevin might not be able to see it, but Su, an expert in the spiritual field, saw through the fragility of this dreamy wonderland.

It was like transparent glass.

Once you pass through it, all you see is fragmentation, and the ubiquitous flow of fire and blood.

"Is this really your state of mind? Or is it just a self-deception that you hypnotize yourself to avoid falling into madness?"

"…Su?"

Su saw Fu Hua meditating with her eyes closed on the flat ground surrounded by molten rock. As Fu Hua opened her eyes and was in doubt, the shattered purgatory returned to the fairyland of Mirror Lake and Water Sky.

Su did not respond to Fu Hua's question and did not admit it directly. This was Angel'slast stubbornness—although she knew that this was also self-deception. Whether she admitted it or not, it would not affect her use of Su's inheritance.

"The SWARA created the invincible Immortal Phoenix, but it also trapped you in a cage from which you could not escape. In the increasingly narrow predicament of losing her original self, the real Fu Hua almost drowned."

"..."

"But fortunately, the swords that killed you also violently broke this cage. Although it was not thorough, and although the damage was far greater than the gains, you were able to breathe and come to this day. Hua, fate is not always disappointing, is it?"

"Well, you're right. Just like I met Ji Lin and Little Fuxi again, just like I met Angel, and I met you again—fate actually treated me well."

Fu Hua was somewhat satisfied and showed a relaxed smile.

She no longer demanded more; just what she had gained now was enough for her to thank fate for its favor.

Su opened his eyes, his eyes as deep as the starry sky and as peaceful as the morning sun, with a blessing smile.

"This is a belated gift, and I send you the wishes of my companions—I hope you get a new life, I hope you embrace your love, I hope you will be happy forever. This is the common expectation of everyone."

Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, and she didn't even have time to feel her own mood. The golden sword passed through the sky, slowly crushing this fragile state of mind, and also crushing the fiery purgatory after the broken state of mind.

"Su, you..." Fu Hua's words were not finished, and the golden light enveloped her.

She felt that she had lost something that had accompanied her for thousands of years. In the unprecedented weakness, she completely lost her perception and consciousness.

"You chose to stand by and watch because you saw her liberation. I chose to intervene because I like her and because I need her. But at least this blessing, I did not violate your original wish, Su?"

Su's figure disappeared in the broken heart lake while talking to himself with uncertainty.

Chapter 179 Jingwei is always fragrant

"My Blade Mantra, I can't feel it."

Waking up in a strange room and a strange bed, Fu Hua pressed her chest thoughtfully.

Then, she sat up subconsciously.

Everything in front of her seemed strange.

It’s not that she didn’t know the layout of the room, but the world in her eyes. The colors, light and shadow, and sense of distance were all normal, but there was a strange feeling as if some kind of filter had been removed, which was particularly fresh and comfortable.

"Jingwei!"

"Master!"

Before Fu Hua could carefully experience and think about these feelings, two familiar warm and soft jades pounced on her, one on her abdomen and the other on her chest, expressing their worries and surprises with a strong hug.

Then, Fu Hua’s first thought was, "Is the quality of this bed really that good?"

Generally speaking, with the strength of Ji Lin and Angel, an ordinary bed should have collapsed long ago, right?

"Okay, okay, I’m awake now, and I feel good now. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting, so how long have I slept?"

"Fourteen days have passed since you entered the operating room, a full two weeks, Jingwei!"

"Huh? Has it been that long? I thought I had just slept for a few days."

Fu Hua put her hand on Ji Lin’s head, gently stroking it, revealing a faint, soft smile.

Angel poked her head out from under Ji Lin, looked up at her, and said with the mentality of a doctor inspecting a patient:

"Master, how do you feel now?"

"Well... in short, I feel much lighter. By the way, where’s Su?"

Fu Hua didn’t have time to carefully examine her changes, and subconsciously asked about the whereabouts of the friend who had been away for thousands of years.

Angel and Ji Lin looked at each other, seemingly puzzled by this question.

"Hey!"

At this time, Book of Fuxi slowly floated over from the side and sat on Fu Hua’s shoulder. After moving her butt to occupy a comfortable position, she opened her mouth to respond to Fu Hua’s question.

"He didn’t show up in front of us at all. It seems that he came here just for you. So, how do you feel? Are you cured?"

"Just for me?"

Fu Hua couldn’t help but feel disappointed, and her eyes dimmed.

The Thirteen Flamechasers were one of the few relatively clear and complete fragments in her memory. A friend she clearly remembered, but he didn’t stay to drink tea and chat.

He came and went so hurriedly, did he think he didn’t fulfill his mission?

Then, Fu Hua quickly shook her head again.

Su is not that kind of person.

If someone as gentle, compassionate, and wise as him doesn’t want to stay, there must be a compelling reason.

"However, back then he just spoke incomprehensibly, but now he doesn’t even leave riddles. Has he changed?"

Fu Hua suspected that the old comrade’s ability to express himself has evolved, but from the perspective of the difficulty of understanding, it seems that it can also be said to have degenerated?

"Blockhead, I’m asking about your physical condition. What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, just a little regretful. As for the body... it's very good, or should I say very good, I feel relaxed and happy as never before. Dr. Jackal’s technique almost made me think I had returned to the previous era."

Fu Hua smiled easily.

Although she was always lying on the operating table, she still felt some of the physical conditions until Su walked into her dream.

The feeling of being turned over and over from the inside out, the feeling of the scalpel, water jet, laser, and even unknown equipment fiddling with the muscles and organs, and the feeling of messy reagents injected into the body – Fu Hua would unconsciously associate it with the memories of being alone with Dr. Mobius.

It was the same back then, Fu Hua was lying on the operating table, and Mobius fiddled with every corner of Fu Hua’s body as he pleased, which was very enjoyable and he couldn’t leave. However, Fu Hua was just guessing about Mobius’s experience, and she still couldn’t understand the thoughts in the mind of the Infinite Ouroboros.

Book of Fuxi didn’t know what Fu Hua was thinking about, but her reply made Book of Fuxi put down the last bit of worry. So, the little ELF simply fell back, and Book of Fuxi simply lay on Fu Hua’s shoulder, and her white and tender little fat legs swayed.

"I’m so tired, I’ll take a nap first. You go to Jackal for a re-examination by yourself, finish it early, go home early, I still have a bunch of things to deal with..."

Book of Fuxi really fell asleep.

She was the most nervous person during the treatment. She had to worry about Fu Hua’s condition, beware of the other people who couldn’t sit still, and try to get information from Shamash and Jackal from time to time. After two weeks of sleepless nights, even Book of Fuxi was really exhausted.

"Master, I’ll take care of Little Fuxi!"

"Jingwei, I’ll take you to see a doctor!"

Angels quickly decided on their own division of labor. One carefully held up Book of Fuxi’s soft body, and the other dragged Fu Hua out. Their relaxed smiles showed their good mood.

...

Three days after returning to Mount Taixu, Fu Hua resumed her usual routine.

Early in the morning, she led Ji Lin and Angel to practice boxing on the top of the mountain where the sun was about to rise but not yet.

Since she had mastered martial arts, Fu Hua rarely used a sword. In most cases, she preferred to use the Cujin boxing.

Because boxing is simple and convenient to practice, and it is straightforward to fight. For her, without the Edge of Taixuan, the effect of using boxing and Taixuan is the same. It can also be said that boxing and Edge of Taixuan have long been integrated, and fists and feet are equal to the Edge of Taixuan.

"Angel, you have already mastered the swordsmanship. Boxing is not very important to you, but you can use it to train your mind and make up for your ability to deal with special situations. So don’t slack off. You must know that diligence makes you proficient, but playing around makes you lose."

"Yes, Master!"

"Ji Lin, your boxing skills are rusty. I don’t know what level you were at that time, but now it seems that there are still many areas for improvement. Don’t let Angel leave you behind."

"Don’t worry, Jingwei! I have slowly regained that feeling. Just wait and see!"

One punch, one move, one foot, one step, Fu Hua is familiar with the boxing routine, with stillness in movement, and hardness in softness. The breeze blows on the loose green clothes, and she does not forget to casually remind her friends and apprentices beside her, with the heavy atmosphere of a master.

But only Fu Hua herself knows her own changes. In the past, martial arts training was for calming the mind, like walking on a fragile ice surface. One must always cut off distractions and concentrate. Any slight hesitation would interfere with the running of the Honkai energy in the body, and more serious would lead to obsession.

SWARA is such a thing. Dr. Mei once reminded that this technology is suspected to have an incomprehensible deep connection with her body. Therefore, she was branded with the Mind Imprint of being hostile to everything related to Honkai.

For thousands of years, Fu Hua has been in such dilemma: if this Mind Imprint goes a little to the left, it will be affected by Honkai, and then force her into obsession; if this Mind Imprint goes a little to the right, it will stimulate, and then lose reason, forcing her to destroy Honkai, including companions and herself who fight with Honkai energy.

So Fu Hua is used to restraining all emotions and shaping her heart into a transparent and flawless state, like ice without joy or sorrow.

‘I’m not used to the feeling of swinging a fist just for the sake of swinging a fist.’

Fu Hua thought to herself, but felt unprecedented ease. She was not like this before. When practicing boxing, even a little distraction would cause the operation of Honkai energy to become imperfect.

The blood was flowing, the body temperature was rising, and after one set of boxing, Fu Hua did not want to stop at all, just moving this brand new body to the fullest.

Until the last punch was thrown, the force that came out of her heart stirred the atmosphere, forming a strong wind that blew across the entire mountain.

"Is this the feeling of boiling blood?"

Fu Hua panted slightly, letting the sweat slide down her forehead, feeling novel and surprised by the blood that had not been calmed for a long time.

"Jingwei, are you okay?"

"It’s okay, I feel really good. I feel like I seem to be closer to my former comrades."

Fu Hua looked at her fist thoughtfully.

MANTIS Soldiers are all top blood cows. The effects of Honkai beast genes and super mutation surgery have given them unparalleled vitality and recovery. The most extreme example is Mobius. Everyone agrees that as long as she doesn’t want to die, nothing can kill her. Therefore, the fighting style of MANTIS Soldiers is usually extremely unrestrained, and it is a basic operation to fight to the death without bleeding.

But Fu Hua is the one who doesn’t fit in.

Because of the influence of the SWARA, she must be extremely restrained in the use of her body. As long as it affects her mental state, even if it is just a little bit, she must stop immediately, otherwise she will be directly out of control under the influence of the SWARA, and the best outcome is to die on the spot.

So Fu Hua can’t be as passionate as them and spend everything in her body. She can only be precise and can only tap into the power in an extremely limited space – this meticulously crafted fighting mode eventually evolved into the Eminence.

But Fu Hua is very sure that even the peak of the Immortal Phoenix has a long-term endurance and extreme combat ability that is far inferior to her former companions.

She can’t do it!

Now, the situation is different. Fu Hua feels that she can also do the reckless and unrestrained fighting style like Kalpas, Kevin, and Kosma!

"Su, this gift..." Fu Hua looked up at the distant sky, as if she saw her friend smiling at her with a gentle blessing.

"Master, stop being in a daze, we should go back to eat."

"No, practice for a while longer."

"Ah? But you have practiced many times."

"I have recovered, better than I thought. But I also lost my Blade Mantra, and I don’t want to rebuild it in the future. Now I can only rely on this brand new body. This is a brand new beginning, I can’t slack off."

Fu Hua smiled, with the courage and confidence to start over. She became stronger and weaker, and the gap between them is now difficult to sort out.

But Fu Hua believes that Su will not harm her.

Since he completely eliminated her Blade Mantra at this time, he must have his considerations. What she can do is to grasp every minute and every second from now on, and once again become a strong person that Angel, Ji Lin and others can rely on, and once again use her own strength to protect everything she has.

"Jingwei, I will practice with you!"

"It’s okay to practice together, but can you please not hold me like this? I’ve sweated a lot, don’t you think it smells bad?"

"No way! Jingwei always smells good, hehehe!"

"..."

Looking at Ji Lin’s flushed expression, which showed no disdain for her sweat but was more excited than ever before, Fu Hua suddenly fell silent.

Perhaps, compared to digging out the power in her body, how to keep the chastity of this body next to her peculiar friend is her biggest test in Mount Taixu.

Chapter 180 Angel with a Bottom Line

(2x)

"Swish!"

the clear water rushed down, soaking the thin clothes, revealing the white jade skin and exquisite figure underneath, like a pure and quiet white lotus isolated from the world.

then Fu Hua exhaled a breath of turbid air.

After exercise, you have to rinse with cold water to calm the hot blood, so that you can restore your peace of mind – it is not recommended for ordinary people to learn, you will catch a cold. she is a fusion warrior; let alone cold water, even ice water and magma can be poured on her at will, there is no comparison.

"Swish!" ×2

The close friend and disciple next to her made the same move, but after being washed by cold water, they shook at the same time, then shook their sheads and shook their hair, water droplets splashing everywhere, reacting like a cat touching water.

Fu Hua unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.

The next second, Book of Fuxi floated in, took a look at the natural hot spring with 24-hour hot water nearby, frowned, and then cursed:

"You put hot water instead of cold water, and you also infected Ji Lin and Angel-chan. Are you sick? Have you forgotten that you were lying in bed a few days ago!?"

"It's just that the heat is gathising and not dispersing, and I just want to calm it down as soon as possible."

Fu Hua explained subconsciously, pulling the corners of her mouth awkwardly, not daring to tell Book of Fuxi that she had been living like this for hundreds of years.

When Book of Fuxi was still here, she probably never cheated her of hot water, so she couldn't stand this rough and unshealthy lifestyle.

Book of Fuxi glared at her, then took out a towel from her sleeve and threw it to Angel.

"Jingsei is the immortal for thousands of years. It's hard to say whether she is human or not. It's harmless to mess around. You are different. You're still a child. You should take care of yourself. Hurry up and wipe your hair. Go to the hot spring to warm yourself up. Don't learn from these two fools!"

Book of Fuxi kept muttering to Angel. After a while, she couldn't shelp but start directly. she held a towel and rubbed it all over Angel's shead. she took out a hair dryer from her sleeve and blew it dry while flying around.

After that, she tied Angel's hair and pushed her down the hot spring.

Seeing Angel's delicate and thin body completely soaked in the hot water, a shealthy blush appeared on her white and tender face like a boiled egg, and a cute expression of enjoyment and intoxication, Book of Fuxi was relieved.

"I knew that I had to take care of the child! You two will send the child to the ICU sooner or later! What are you still standing there for? Follow me in and soak! there is no shortage of hot water in Mount Taixu!" Book of Fuxi glanced at both.

Fu Hua and Ji Lin were frightened and hurried into the hot spring pool.

Book of Fuxi snorted, put her hands into her sleeves, and floated out.

After a while, wooden plates floated on the hot spring water, with snacks, hot spring eggs, drinks, and alcoholic drinks placed on them. And Book of Fuxi finally soaked in the hot spring - wearing the mini-swimsuit that she had just changed into.

"You really started to make trouble just a few days after you got better. I was in a meeting in the house and sheard the fist wind from the mountain whirring! Can you go to a father place to play next time? If you lead them to make trouble like this, our house will be full of dust in a few days, and you might even blow something down! Where is your determination to meditate for several days in the past... Alas! Little Angel, what are you doing?"

Book of Fuxi was floating on the water, with an unfriendly dead fish eye, and her little mouth kept chattering, venting her anger at being harassed for most of the day.

Then, Angel reached out and caught her.

Angel: "(ΦωΦ)!"

The enlarged purple pupils are like cat eyes. Angel holds Book of Fuxi in her palm and stretcshes out her fingers to tickle her body.

"Ahahaha! Little Angel, stop it, it's so itchy, hahaha!"

"Xiaoxuan, let me shelp you take a bath!"

"Wait a minute, don't take off my swimsuit! I finally made it! Hahaha, stop scratching, it's so itchy, hahaha!"

"Little Xiaoxuan washes white, clean and cute, huhu~~"

Angel doesn't care about Book of Fuxi's struggle, presses her in the palm of her hand and rubs her gently, turning over and over. her face is still expressionless as usual, but the erect cat pupils show Angel's interest.

The bathing pool in Mount Taixu right now does not have floating snow-white fat orbs like in Saint Freya, and it is less gorgeous, but there is an extra cute Book of Fuxi. As a cat, how could Angel not play with the cute little one floating in front of her?

Not to mention, this cute little doll is extremely realistic and smooth to the touch, top-notch!

Beside them, seeing Book of Fuxi trapped in Angel's hands and unable to get out, and no time to teach her a lesson, Fu Hua and Ji Lin looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jingwei, what is she saying? Oh, brine and tofu, one thing conquers another!"

"Angel, she doesn't seem to have any resistance to cute things."

Fu Hua held her foreshead and shook her shead, a smile flashed in her eyes, and a bit of shelplessness.

For example, When she first became a disciple, she actually appeared in the way of catching butterflies, and When Kiana occasionally acted cute, she couldn't stand the pleading at all, and she would nod and agree with no expression on her face.

She is obviously very cute, and she also likes cute things. If you think about it carefully, she seems to be even cuter.

Fu Hua leaned back, her long hair scattered on her shoulders, her graceful body curves and fair and delicate skin, looming under the misty water. she closed her eyes, her mouth slightly raised, as if enjoying the warm spring water.

This rare lazy style made Ji Lin wipe her saliva involuntarily.

"Jingwei!"

Ji Lin hugged her instinctively.

Angel loves beautiful and lovely things, and so does Ji Lin. She rubbed Fu Hua's soft and fragrant body and laugshed happily.

"Ji Lin, don't, don't move!"

"Hehehe! I don't want to, Jingwei finally came back, but she slept for half a month. I haven't been close to you for a long time!"

"I always feel that you seem to be getting more and more attached to me, be serious, Ji Lin!"

"No, no, what's wrong with me getting close to you? We are friends, why are you so shy?"

Fu Hua still couldn't grasp the strength of this new body. She was worried about hurting Ji Lin, and she didn't dare to resist too much. she could only let Ji Lin kiss and hug her randomly with a gesture of wanting to refuse but also welcoming. Next to her was her little apprentice.

Fu Hua's face was red, her mind was full of shame, and she was flustered.

Angel held Book of Fuxi, who had lost her strength from laughing and had her eyes rolled up, and gently kneaded her on the water. After glancing at Fu Hua and Ji Lin who were hugging each other, she sigshed with regret.

"Alas!"

Although Angel and the others were in love with each other, and as a human being, they were called Sea Kings who could devour all.

But Angel still had a bottom line.

That was that Angel was definitely not a homewrecker.

So, although it was a pity, Master Fu Hua, who was serious but easy to break through and super exciting to attack, could only be given to Ji Lin.

Fu Hua didn't know that she had been assigned to her best friend and apprentice without authorization. Shs just felt Ji Lin's warmth and sweetness very strongly – was it because the repaired body became more sensitive? Or did Jackal do something?

Fu Hua was at a loss and struggled symbolically, but she couldn't resist Ji Lin's increasingly tight embrace. In the fiery body temperature of her best friend, she felt that the hot spring water around her became a little cool.

Until a certain moment, a drop of slightly cool liquid fell on her shoulder, sliding from Fu Hua's delicate skin into the hot spring.

"Ji Lin?"

"Jingwei, I'm so scared..."

Ji Lin clung to Fu Hua's snow-white neck, her eyes slightly red and full of tears.

Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, and finally stopped struggling. After a long while, she tentatively hugged Ji Lin back and patted her back.

"What happened to you?"

"That Jackal and Su are both very powerful people, right?"

"Yes, one of them has mastered advanced technology from the previous era, and the other is the strongest warrior in the spiritual realm. they are both very remarkable people."

"But even so, you have been sleeping for half a month! Jingwei, do you know how badly you are injured? Do you know that I will never have the chance to see you again!"

Angel who participated in the operation must remain absolutely calm.

But the other Angel can clearly feel Fu Hua's injuries.

With this kind of body, even breathing may be painful, and even sleeping will be tortured in the spirit. What kind of resilience does Fu Hua have to maintain the appearance of everything being normal?

Ji Lin's long-suppressed heartache and fear were released at this moment, and then she didn't care about Fu Hua's daze and silence, and simply pushed her completely into the water.

Ji Lin also dived down.

Then the misty hot spring pool water was a little agitated.

"Wow!"

Book of Fuxi raised a wave of water and poured it on Angel's face, who was staring at the water.

"Don't look at them, kid. Let's go after we're done!"

Angel wiped her face, blinked woodenly, then picked up the soft Book of Fuxi and left the open-air hot spring courtyard.

Before walking out of the door, Book of Fuxi pulled Angel's shoulder. She watched the two people emerge from the water and kiss in the white mist. It can also be said that Fu Hua was frozen in place, being invaded unilaterally by Ji Lin.

Book of Fuxi's eyes flashed with a smile, but she started to complain.

"Really, you can't tell the occasion from the right one. You're too unqualified as an elder!"

But, with Fu Hua's unshakable and dull personality, maybe she is a perfect match with the simple, straightforward, and emotional Ji Lin, right?
