You Have a New Job (Continued)
"First, don't do this on Great Void Mountain. All the building materials will have to be airlifted from afar, making the renovation very costly. Second, don't do this in front of outsiders. It makes it seem like Great Void Mountain is experiencing internal discord, which is embarrassing. Do you understand?"
Cang Xiaoxuan said wearily, but contrary to common sense, her urging gaze was mainly fixed on Fu Hua.
Cang Xiaoxuan has taken care of Fu Hua for thousands of years, handling her mundane affairs and taking care of most of the interpersonal interactions. He is a shrewd person that few can match.
In her opinion, Fu Hua wasn't a bad person; she was just a bit too straightforward and blunt. Other than that, she was fine.
But Fu Hua is different; she seems to have maintained a considerable degree of distrust from the very beginning. Of course, it's not entirely her fault; which of the Flame-Chasers survived the Previous Civilization didn't have some kind of Herrscher PTSD? This isn't something that can be eliminated in a short period of time.
However, Fu Hua seems to have a different sensitivity to emotions than she appears on the surface. Perhaps she vaguely sensed Fu Hua's attitude, so she also adopted a confrontational stance.
Like a little hedgehog, if you try to prick me, I'll prick you first.
In short, it's a classic combination of being clueless and grumpy.
"Haha! Crimson Kite, you two are at it again! Speaking of which, between me and A-Lin's swordsmanship is better, but my internal energy is stronger, and I'm better at naming things than her. I wonder who's better between the two of you?"
Ji Lin let out a happy laugh and asked with a naive expression.
Fu Hua immediately raised her head and puffed out her chest, proudly declaring:
"Needless to say? Of course I'm better. Whether it's swordsmanship, internal energy, or knowledge, I'm definitely ten times, or even nine times, better than this unambitious old fogey!"
"How arrogant!"
"Hehehe~ I don't understand that four-word nonsense~ hehehehe~~"
"You!!!"
The two Fu Hua stared at each other intently, their gazes conveying a sharp, unspoken tension.
Ji Lin, perched on Fu Hua's back, happily wiggled her little feet, displaying an innocent and carefree expression completely oblivious to the tension.
"Well..."
Cang Xiaoxuan sighed and rubbed his forehead again.
That's the situation.
There was already a conflict between the two Fu Hua, and then there was the thick-skinned and clueless Ji Lin who would unknowingly stir things up from time to time, making them even more irreconcilable.
'I wonder if she did it on purpose?'
'I don't think so?'
After spending these past few days together, I feel that that relatively smooth brain probably doesn't have that kind of intelligence.
In short, the reason why Great Void Mountain has remained intact to this day is entirely due to Cang Xiaoxuan's sufficient power; otherwise, the entire mountain range would have been leveled.
Hurry up and say thank you, little darling!
"You blockhead, how far are we from our destination?"
To prevent the dispute from continuing indefinitely, Cang Xiaoxuan had no choice but to change the subject.
Fu Hua: "I don't know!"
Fu Hua: "At the current speed, about half an hour should be enough. Let's speed things up. Although Schicksal is delaying us, the threat posed by the Herrscher is not to be underestimated. The sooner we arrive, the sooner we can resolve the crisis."
[Fu Hua]: "Accelerate, huh? I get it! Grow bigger, my Sword Hidden in Sheath!"
The already broad black sword, under the stimulation of Honkai Energy, expanded into a long, narrow spaceship, blocking everyone's feet, lifting their bodies, and then suddenly accelerating without saying a word.
"Alas!!!"
