How could I possibly not have noticed you stealing a kiss from me?

However, even if there's nothing wrong with something, saying it at the wrong time can sometimes cause bigger problems.

For example, right now—after being rebuked by Durandal, Fu Hua, after a moment of stunned silence, actually clutched her head and fell into a state of confusion.

"You, you're right, I, I, I, who exactly am—"

"Am I Fu Hua?"

"But Fu Hua wouldn't do something so outrageous."

"I'm not Fu Hua?"

"Then who am I?"

As she kept questioning herself, Fu Hua's expression became increasingly manic.

Just then, a transport plane that had been steadily approaching the Schicksal Headquarters from a distance suddenly stopped above everyone's heads.

Then, in the sky, Lin Yu jumped down from mid-air and completed the [Zero Knight. Moon Shadow] outfit.

"Don't think about it too much, Class President Fu Hua."

"You are you, don't have those strange and unnecessary thoughts!"

.

Chapter 219. How could I not have discovered that you stole a kiss from me?

At Lin Yu's call, Fu Hua easily regained control of her body, halting the corruption from the Honkai...

If things really went that smoothly, Lin Yu would only feel like he was dreaming.

Something's wrong with this world already; any unexpected events in it will only increase the danger level of his environment.

As for the claim of easily completing the game, that's clearly not true.

Lin Yu's words did indeed gradually make the struggling look on Fu Hua's face disappear.

However, looking at Fu Hua, who was still in 'red eye' mode, Lin Yu knew that his verbal attack had obviously failed.

Moreover, at this moment, Fu Hua's character introduction template even popped up in front of him.

Everything else remained the same, except that the favorability rating suddenly jumped up by three points.

No, I have a question.

Why would you show yourself at a time when the atmosphere is so tense?

Your so-called rule that 'you can't show yourself after a fight breaks out' was clearly just empty talk from the beginning, wasn't it?

That's not true at all, and why do you think a fight is definitely going to break out now?

[Look at this level of favorability. Do you really think your master would be willing to lay a hand on you?]

Don't say that, it makes me feel even more pressured.

[No amount of pressure will help; Otto is truly a genius in a certain area.]

[Normally, there wouldn't have been so much trouble today, but because of his actions, it indirectly caused Honkai to take an overreaction.]

Otherwise, in theory, the Honkai would take more time to slowly erode Fu Hua's consciousness, rather than taking the risk of making her 'awaken' now.

Ah, although I don't know what Otto did, I feel like my murderous intent towards him has increased.

What exactly did this bastard do before?

Isn't his strategy 'to prepare for the Honkai while letting it develop Honkai '?

Otto, who has maintained this style in the past, has never pushed the Honkai to the brink.

[Ah, although interrupting your train of thought isn't nice, is it really okay for you to start rambling on to this system like this?]

Of course, no problem.

I already told you I've mastered the art of multitasking.

At this moment, Lin Yu, who was frantically guessing what was going on in his mind, looked at 'Fu Hua' in front of him and finally chose to take the initiative to ask.

"Now, Class President, have you calmed down?"

"Yes, of course, after all, what you said before was quite right."

Fu Hua, who now appeared to have calmed down, stood with her hands on her hips and addressed the crowd.

"I am who I am, I am Fu Hua, I am the Crimson Heron Immortal!"

"Why should I start doubting myself just because a little girl who doesn't understand me scolds me for no reason!"

Listening to Fu Hua's speech, Durandal looked at Lin Yu and Su with a very subtle expression.

What is that?

Is Fu Hua the Shenzhou guardian deity of China, the Crimson Heron Immortal?

Moreover, neither the Previous Era pioneer who almost fought with the bishop before, nor Lin Yu who maintained a calm demeanor at this moment, seemed to have any doubts or surprise about this information.

Wait, does everyone know about this?

What's wrong with me? This feeling that I'm the only one who can't do it—it's really making me uncomfortable!

Although Durandal had many questions, in the end, she chose to keep quiet.

It wasn't that she thought Fu Hua was fine; it was mainly that Durandal still had some self-awareness.

She knew very well that she wasn't quick-witted and wasn't very good at speaking.

As a former Schicksal agent who is a few years older than her, Lin Yu's weaknesses in thinking and speaking are certainly not Lin Yu Durandal's shortcomings.

This guy managed to fool Rita and me before, so with all the wicked schemes in his head, how could he possibly win over Fu Hua...?

It should be fine, right?

"Ah, but speaking of which, now that Otto is alive or dead, I think there are some things I don't need to hide from you anymore."

After adjusting her mindset, Fu Hua composed herself, put on a serious expression, walked up to Lin Yu, and coughed twice.

"Lin Yu, you may not know this, but I am not only your Class President, but also your master."

Oh, did it self-destruct?

That's strange, Fu Hua really shouldn't have this kind of personality.

I have this feeling that I've forgotten something very important. Is it just my imagination?

At this moment, Fu Hua, who had not yet activated "Feathered Dust" on Lin Yu again, saw that Lin Yu still maintained a calm expression and felt that Lin Yu probably did not believe her sudden words.

However, she wouldn't be so angry with Lin Yu over something like this.

"Alas, I was confused before, which is why I joined forces with that scoundrel Otto."

"In order to help him complete a damned plan, I cannot reveal my identity. I can only use special means to let you cultivate with me and learn my ultimate technique, the Tai Xu Sword Qi."

"The reason you were able to learn this ultimate skill in your dream is because I hypnotized you with the [Eighth Divine Key - Feathered Dust] and then taught you these ultimate skills while you were under hypnosis."

"However, now that Otto is gone, I don't need to hide it anymore!"

At that moment, Fu Hua suddenly grabbed Lin Yu's shoulders with both hands, looked at Lin Yu with hopeful eyes, and made crazy advances towards Lin Yu.

"Now that I am the Archbishop of Schicksal, you no longer have to be manipulated by Otto as you have in the past!"

"I believe that as long as you and I, master and disciple, join forces, we will annihilate all the enemies in this world!"

Hearing these utterly absurd words, Durandal was now completely certain that this person was definitely not Fu Hua.

It is difficult to change a person's language habits and behavior. In Durandal's eyes, even if the real Fu Hua were to express similar thoughts, she would never use this tone and attitude.

As for Lin Yu now...

What else could he do but try to appease the husky and think of a way to make up some nonsense?

"If it is Fu Hua ... Master who said these words, then I am willing to believe Master Fu Hua."

"After all, in my eyes, Master Fu Hua is not someone who speaks carelessly."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Su's expression remained unchanged, but she was truly relieved.

He sensed that something was wrong, but no matter how wrong things were, the most important thing for everyone to do now was to keep his comrade, whose temperament had changed drastically, in check, rather than to pursue the so-called truth.

As for the fact that Fu Hua has a Herrscher Persona within her, this matter does indeed have a significant impact.

However, Su Ke did not forget that one day before the Finality, one of his comrades sacrificed himself to bring new hope to humanity in this era.

The Herrscher of this era can be won over, and as long as Mr. Lin Yu can demonstrate his negotiation skills, then—even if this Herrscher is one on Herrscher the Honkai has placed Honkai —this fight is not inevitable!

Furthermore, if the Herrscher is recruited by Mr. Lin Yu, then as long as the Herrscher Persona doesn't cause trouble, Hua could even manipulate the Herrscher's power to fight.

As for why Su didn't plan to talk to Fu Hua about this himself, frankly, he could sense that Fu Hua had some complaints about him.

This resentment certainly didn't come from Fu Hua herself, but from her Herrscher Persona.

However, this resentment is currently only focused on Su and has not spread to Lin Yu. For this reason, Su feels that Lin Yu is more suitable than him to win over the Herrscher Persona within Fu Hua.

Moreover, after Lin Yu finished speaking, Su Zhen felt that the Herrscher Persona that had taken over Fu Hua's body was now clearly more satisfied with Lin Yu than before.

"Very good, very well said!"

At this moment, Fu Hua looked at her disciple with satisfaction and suddenly revealed a sly smile to Lin Yu.

"Considering how much my good disciple trusts his master, I will forgive your previous act of betraying your master and ancestors."

Betraying one's teacher and ancestors?

Hearing this word that shouldn't have appeared between Lin Yu and Fu Hua, Su and Durandal both turned their heads slightly and looked at Lin Yu with subtle glances.

It's not that they have no trust in Lin Yu at all, it's just that the current 'Fu Hua' doesn't seem like the kind of person who would keep things to herself.

In a sense, the current 'Fu Hua' is more extreme than before, but she is also more 'well-behaved' in a way, almost as easy to understand as an elementary school student.

[Ah, it's here after all, host. Be Survive!]

Wait a minute, what's this about betraying one's master and ancestors? And what's this about surviving?!

Well, here's a hint—oh wait, no need for hints, you should just think about how to make up the rest.

Seeing that Lin Yu, who still maintained a calm expression but whose eyes were clearly wavering, Fu Hua's smile became even wider.

"What, you dare to do it but not admit it, and you're even shy, huh?"

"Your master is the Crimson Heron Immortal. How could I not have discovered that you stole a kiss from me?"

?

??

???

Wait, how does she know about this?!

[That's obvious. Fu Hua is asleep doesn't mean she's asleep too. Of course she knows about this.]

So you're saying that her Herrscher Persona had already awakened at that time? Where's the core?! Didn't anyone sense it?

This system suggests you don't think about these things for now; after all, the current problem is... well, be survivor.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Durandal and Sue, who were responsible for watching the gossip and enjoying the shocking information revealed by the song, were even more astonished.

What?! Lin Yu actually stole a kiss from Fu Hua?!

And he hasn't refuted it yet, does that mean he's admitting it?!

No, this has nothing to do with me, so why do I suddenly feel a subtle sense of unease?

Ah, Mr. Lin Yu actually has this kind of feeling towards China.

That's why he hesitated for a second when he first addressed Huawei as "Master"...

I see.

At this moment, Fu Hua saw Lin Yu's stiff body and suddenly rushed up and hugged Lin Yu.

"Alright, Master doesn't blame you."

"It's not a bad thing for a disciple to want to get closer to their master, especially since I'm naturally beautiful..."

The moment she said those words, Fu Hua's eyes suddenly changed from scarlet back to their original color.
