You Have a New Job (Continued)
"Ji Lin, Ji Lin, look, I caught a butterfly!"
Where is it? Where is it?
Fu Hua approached mysteriously, slowly opening and closing her hands.
Just as she said, a butterfly landed on her palm, its bright wings trembling slightly, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.
"Wow, it's so beautiful..."
"Of course! How could my judgment be wrong?"
"Let me play with it!"
"Then be careful, don't kill him."
Fu Hua readily agreed to Ji Lin's requests, and with a flick of her wrist, she transferred the butterfly to Ji Lin's hand.
Ji Lin watched as the butterfly fluttered its wings on his hands, then raised his hands and flicked them upwards just as the butterfly was about to take flight.
The butterflies fluttered up and drifted away in the sunlight.
Ji Lin looked up, the sunlight shining on her delicate face, reflecting the soft light in her eyes, as bright as a starry river.
Fu Hua was immediately stunned. She couldn't explain why, but she just couldn't take her eyes off her.
"It's beautiful."
Ji Lin raised her hand, gazing at the departing butterflies, her smile as radiant as a flower.
Fu Hua scratched her face and, following her heart, said:
"I think you are prettier."
"...ah?"
"I said, I think you're prettier, a thousand times, ten thousand times prettier than butterflies or anything like that!"
"...Um."
No girl dislikes being complimented on her appearance.
Even Anqi, who prides herself on being cunning and scheming, will be happy.
So Ji Lin naturally took Fu Hua's hand.
"You too. In my eyes, Crimson Kite is the most beautiful woman in the world, no one can compare!"
Hehehe!
Fu Hua scratched her head and grinned foolishly, subconsciously tightening her grip on the soft hand, her heart filled with pure joy.
Then Ji Lin sighed softly and said:
"What I really want to say is that life is beautiful."
"Life? Does it exist?"
"Then think about it, would you prefer the lush and green Great Void Mountain we have now, with lots of small animals and all of us here, or would you prefer the Great Void Mountain with only soil and sand?"
"That's Great Void Mountain right now, of course!"
Fu Hua was unaware of Ji Lin's distorted meaning.
Ji Lin continued to patiently guide him, saying:
"It is precisely because we understand the beauty of life that we made a joint vow to Shenzhou."
"That's true. It's strange, even though so many years have passed, it feels as clear to me as if it happened yesterday."
Nonsense. Those Herrscher of Reason are naturally different from ordinary people when it comes to things like memory. Not to mention that you were just born, so it must have been just yesterday for you.
Ji Lin turned to face Fu Hua, her graceful figure leaning forward slightly as she smiled and said:
"This means that Crimson Kite is getting old! Only old people act like this."
"What?"
"But I'm getting old too, so let's not look down on each other. And even if Crimson Kite gets old, I will always love Crimson Kite."
"Oh..."
What could the naive Fu Hua say? Her mind went blank after being flattered by sweet words, and she didn't know what to do except giggle foolishly.
"Look at those three sitting there, what are they doing? They look so serious, could they be bullying Crimson Kite's Inner Demon? Come on, let's go take a look!"
Having completed today's favorability task, Ji Lin's eyes lit up, and he immediately dragged the still dazed Fu Hua toward the pavilion.
Rewind five minutes, and they were still discussing how to keep Fu Hua under control.
"At present, the best approach is to maintain the status quo and preserve her self-awareness. This way, she can remain stable and not cause trouble, while we can take this opportunity to observe her more closely and determine whether we should keep her."
Fu Hua gave a rational and objective conclusion.
Cang Xiaoxuan and A-Lin nodded in unison.
Fu Hua glanced casually towards the garden courtyard. There she saw Fu Hua and Ji Lin huddled together, seemingly talking about something. They were standing very close, their hands clasped together—especially Ji Lin's innocent and sweet smile, which was exactly the same as when she was with Fu Hua herself.
Fu Hua frowned subconsciously, not knowing why her heart sank and she felt a vague sense of restlessness.
Cang Xiaoxuan, who understood Fu Hua better than Fu Hua herself, noticed this detail. He glanced sideways and smiled, his eyes crinkling into crescent moons.
"But if we maintain the status quo, there's a crucial issue we have to consider."
"What is it, Xiaoxuan?"
"That is to say, she was born from your memories, yet she seems to acknowledge her marriage to the A-Lin sisters more than you do. If, and I mean if, one day she suddenly has the idea to have Ji Lin and the A-Lin sisters marry her..."
Cang Xiaoxuan raised an eyebrow, her unspoken meaning conveyed in her teasing smile.
"Hiss!!"
Fu Hua, in her divine form, gasped for a breath of Honkai Energy.
She subconsciously looked towards A-Lin, only to see her looking bewildered and unmoved, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, Ji Lin and A-Lin lived in a simpler time; they probably didn't think it was a big deal."
To put it simply, it's very plain, but from the perspective of later generations, it's actually quite chaotic.
Of course, even if A-Lin didn't resist, it was because the other person was Fu Hua's Inner Demon and Fu Hua's physical body. Not having that kind of consciousness doesn't mean being willing to let someone you don't like touch you; those are two different things.
In short, Fu Hua couldn't help but look at her own hands, which were as white as jade but indestructible.
Imagine Ji Lin and A-Lin, sisters, gently loosening their skirts amidst that wicked scoundrel's lewd laughter, revealing their Phoebe, naturally beautiful, alabaster-white skin, as they shyly and smilingly greet him...
"Hiss!!!"
Fu Hua's vision went black.
Even with a thousand years of experience, at this moment, the urge to kill still stirred within him.
"Hey, what are you all doing surrounding this old lady? Are you really going to bully her?"
Just as Fu Hua was in a state of utter confusion, a certain naive and innocent girl whose life hung by a thread came over, holding Ji Lin's hand with one hand and putting her other hand on A-Lin's shoulder, creating a scene of having her on both sides.
"Antique...?"
"That's right! I've figured it out. You must have been instilled with my vast and magnificent memories, which is why you think of yourself as me. But Inner Demon is just Inner Demon. You're clearly completely affected by the weight of those memories. Your speech and expressions are stiff and dull. Isn't that just being an old-fashioned person?"
"Rigid... dull?"
"Oh dear, thinking about it, it's quite pitiful. If you were in someone else's body, you might have been able to unleash your power and cause a ruckus, but you had to be so reckless as to end up in this immortal's body. Now look what's happened, you've become an old relic bound by your memories. Hahaha, don't worry, things will get better slowly, we won't dislike you, right?"
[Fu Hua] faced Fu Hua with a smile.
Fu Hua's body trembled slightly as she slowly raised her hand.
Fortunately Cang Xiaoxuan reached out and pressed down on her hand, patting the back of her hand and pushing it back down.
'How despicable! How hateful!'
'He's just a child, please bear with him.'
'Exasperating!!!'
'Calm down, calm down.'
Today, Cang Xiaoxuan has once again prevented Great Void Mountain from suffering huge financial losses. How wonderful!
