Host Transfer · Fu Hua's Body??? (Continued)

Because he was a ghost at the time, Finn doing hard labor and an unawakened Welt.

So Liu Bai's answer was also very frank, "No, I have never helped anyone carry things, I just occasionally hear similar news."

"I see. I often hear news like this."

Rita nodded, seemingly accepting the suggestion for the time being.

"So, Rita, your purpose this time really is shopping?"

"Of course, we've been running low on clothes lately. From underwear to dresses, we need to buy some. If possible, we would appreciate it if Liu Bai could offer some advice."

Beside...

This is definitely a hint! It's absolutely a hint!

Rita! So cunning!

To make it look like a formality, Rita pushed open the door to the World Serpent's office building, and then all she had to do was exit through the back door.

Good morning, Rita.

However, halfway there, Rita encountered a white-haired girl who greeted her.

The current Kiana is no longer suitable for the nickname "Kiana".

"... Miss Kiana, are we that familiar with each other?"

My good mood for the day ended when I saw the cat that was stealing fish... well, actually it ended when I saw Otto.

"Haha... What's that old saying again? 'No fight, no friendship'?"

Kiana scratched her face. "Look, aren't we all chosen by that Liu Bai? Aren't we in the same boat now? Wait, are we in the same boat or are we like grasshoppers in autumn...?"

"..."

You silly child, do you even know how to use colloquialisms?

("Kiana, in this situation, you should at least say 'we should share the same boat' or 'help each other' instead of saying we're all in the same boat...")

Fu Hua's consciousness within the feathers couldn't help but sigh at Kiana's lack of literary cultivation.

Although I have matured, the lessons I missed because of my playfulness cannot be made up for in a short time.

Fu Hua suddenly realized that educating Kiana was a long and arduous task.

"Oh... Miss Kiana, would you like some candy?"

Rita couldn't help but take out a few candies from one of her pockets and hand them out.

This silly child...

"Eating more sugar is beneficial for replenishing brain energy."

"Oh..."

Kiana couldn't figure out the other party's attitude, but... could this be considered a gesture of goodwill?

So Kiana blankly accepted the candy.

"So, Miss Kiana, what are you doing here? I thought World Serpent would hide you away carefully."

By appearing so openly in the office building, aren't you afraid that Bianka will come and search the place?

She hasn't told Bianka about what happened here yet.

"Rita, let's make a bet. If you tell Bianka that the girl in front of you just looks like Kiana and isn't actually Kiana, Bianka will definitely believe you."

"... I think it would be the same for you."

Thinking about her captain's head, Rita sighed.

In some ways, our captain is quite similar to this Kiana in that he's a bit dim-witted.

"On another note, Bianka is spelled Biankai in Italian... and in some ways it can also be written as BKiana."

Liu Bai said it, seemingly casually.

Speaking of which, his compatibility with Kiana has now reached 15%, so it seems Fu Hua has said a lot of good things about him to Kiana.

"That really is..."

Rita twitched the corner of her mouth.

This is not something you can just casually talk about.

Fortunately, both Schariac and Kaslana have mostly white hair, so they didn't arouse Kiana's suspicion.

No, I should say that even if you said it directly, this person wouldn't believe you, right?

"Oh... that girl, I always thought she wasn't as bright as me."

Kiana seemed to recall something, "Back when we were on a mission in New Zealand, my aunt... uh, I mean the headmistress, lied to her that the Anti-Entropy Fleet was on vacation, and she actually believed it..."

"..."

Rita sighed, knowing about this as well.

"Can I say that at least Bianka's academic performance is better than yours? And he's not as irresponsible as you."

"... You really have a hard way with words—well, at least it's better than those fake lies with that insincere smile on your face before."

Rita neither confirmed nor denied this.

She always smiled at her enemies.

"So, Ms. Kiana, why did you brazenly appear in the office building of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals?"

"To work."

Kiana naturally showed Rita the rag in her hand.

"...?"

"Because I am not yet able to fully control the power within my body, I have no plans to go back for the time being."

Kiana shrugged, feigning indifference.

"Fortunately, the woman named Jackal was willing to help, but the price was that I had to help her wipe things down."

"That Jackal guy..."

Rita thought for a moment; the woman with the Jackal mask had always seemed to be a fool in Raven's eyes.

Well, he was actually an idiot for daring to challenge Otto head-on.

"She is still very reliable in her research on Honkai and biology, and is undeniably world-class."

Liu Bai spoke a fair word.

"He's just arrogant and does things his own way... Just keep an eye on him."

"Don't worry about that, Squad Leader Fu Hua is keeping an eye on things for me... By the way, it seems the squad leader has something to discuss with you."

"Hmm? You were looking for me?"

This word choice seems a bit odd.

The next moment, all of their consciousnesses were pulled into a martial arts arena on Tai Xu Mountain.

"This is..."

Rita looked around at her surroundings with some surprise.

"This is the consciousness space, isn't it?" Liu Bai said from behind Rita.

"Mr. Liu, Liu Bai?"

The moment Rita looked toward the source of the sound, she was utterly shocked.

"I?"

Liu Bai glanced at Rita and then realized that his image was reflected in Rita's pupils.

"... Since it's a space of consciousness, is it possible for my image to appear in this space?"

That makes sense, very much so. After all, isn't a ghost a kind of consciousness?

No wonder Fu Hua gave him the feeling that he could see her back in 1955.

It really is because of Feather of the Wind...

"Long time no see, Fu Hua."

After Liu Bai figured it out, he nodded slightly to the Scarlet Bird Immortal who appeared beside him.

"Yes, it's been a long time, Teacher Liu."

Fu Hua nodded to Liu Bai.

As a disciple, this behavior is undoubtedly somewhat impolite, but if one places too much importance on the disciple's status...

Then they'll probably lose badly when it comes to women.

"Miss Rita, it's been quite a while since we last met."

Fu Hua didn't neglect Rita either, after all, Rita was an upright person and didn't like those petty tricks.

"We met just a few months ago, so let's skip the 'long time no see' talk."

Rita lifted her chest and shook her head slightly.

Upon seeing Liu Bai, Rita's fighting spirit instantly doubled.

"..."

Fu Hua felt she had been provoked.

... It must be my imagination.

"Alright, let's get back to the point. I don't have much power right now, and this consciousness space can't be maintained for too long."

Fu Hua shifted her gaze from Rita to Liu Bai.

"Teacher Liu, I've been having a strange feeling lately..."

"Feel?"

Liu Bai was puzzled.

"How does it feel? Tell me more."

"It is precisely because it is indescribable that it makes me feel strange."

Fu Hua replied, "However, I think this strange feeling is very likely coming from my body."

Is Herrscher of Sentience?

"Your body?" Rita, somewhat puzzled.

"Excuse my bluntness, but your body is not already..."

"That's right. Being shot by Otto means I'm physically 'dead,' but my body will slowly recover after suffering great damage. It will only take twenty years to fully recover."

Fu Hua nodded.

"This is really..." Rita somewhat surprised; these reports were all quite shocking.

"After your body recovers, your consciousness..."

"Normally, after I am killed, my consciousness will fall into a state of chaos until my body is fully restored and I awaken again..."

"But, right now your consciousness isn't in your body?"

Realizing something was wrong, Rita no longer cared about her love rival.

She can still distinguish between important matters and trivial matters.

"That's right. At the moment of death, I transferred my consciousness into Feather of the Wind and mentally bound it to Kiana's classmate—but Otto doesn't know this."

Fu Hua said softly.

"In my opinion, Otto only had two options for dealing with my body—to try to destroy me completely, or to try to speed up my recovery. I think Otto was very likely to choose the latter."

"Wouldn't such a resurrected body just be an empty shell?"

"But there are always 'accidents' in the world."

Fu Hua answered calmly, then looked at Liu Bai.
