The Story Will Be a Little Long (Continued)

Her pupils trembled, and she pointed her finger at herself.

"I'm a Herrscher too?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Master, let's quickly discuss the plan. Afterwards, I need to enter the false god state and won't be able to stay with you."

"Wait, how could I possibly be a Herrscher!?"

"Crimson Kite, let's talk about these trivial matters later. Let's get down to business!"

Fu Hua was still questioning her existence, her large eyes filled with pitiful confusion. After being supported by her wife and apprentice on either side, she became even more bewildered and could only be dazedly pulled into the Herrscher group to participate in the discussion of the action plan.

After a discussion, Anqi looked relieved.

"I'll leave the rest to you. To prepare for the upcoming battles, I need to complete the Apotheosis as soon as possible so I can recover my strength and participate in the final battle."

"Anqi, we'll do our best, go ahead!"

Everyone waved goodbye, and then Anqi disappeared from the spot.

The Herrscher team then decided to split into three groups to find a way out.

Although Anqi will keep an eye on this place when she's promoted and will send everyone out as needed, finding a way out on their own will save Anqi some effort and increase their chances of winning. Of course, they can't just lie around and wait.

Fu Hua and Ji Lin were in a group, and were walking in the same direction with their arms linked.

Midway through, Fu Hua finally recovered and looked at Ji Lin in a daze, saying:

"So, I'm the Inner Demon? And the old fogey is Fu Hua?"

"Yes, that's right."

"How come you're not surprised at all? You—no, you guys—didn't you already know?"

"Yes. Look at you, so impulsive and rash, while the other Crimson Kite is so calm and collected. Isn't it obvious at a glance?"

Ji Lin blinked, looking completely at ease.

Then Fu Hua got angry.

"So you've been pretending with me all this time? Are you treating me like an idiot? Why didn't you tell me? Are you out of your minds?"

"Huh? Do I need to tell you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Because Crimson Kite is Crimson Kite, what's the difference? Oh well, let's not worry about that now, it's just the two of us, isn't this the legendary date~~"

Ji Lin looked confused and then rubbed against Fu Hua, showing an excited and shy expression, like a young girl on her first date.

Fu Hua, feeling the incredibly soft and comfortable texture on her arm after being rubbed like that, blushed slightly. Her anger subsided, but she still scratched her head and said:

"But, this shouldn't be happening, it's impossible, why?"

"Crimson Kite, what are you talking about? I don't understand anything."

"Hello!"

"Alright, alright, this is a rare date for just the two of us, it might be over soon and then it'll be time for battle. Let's enjoy it, mua~~"

Fu Hua felt a surge of anger welling up inside her. But with Ji Lin's passionate kiss and those innocent, expectant eyes, she couldn't vent her frustration on her. She felt an intense, agonizing ache.

The most infuriating thing is not even knowing what you're angry about.

Why get angry at yourself when you're not the real person?

But you can't blame anyone for this. You can only blame yourself for not understanding it properly and for having a flawed understanding from the beginning.

Should she be angry that everyone lied to her?

But no one meant her any harm, and in the beginning, she was the one who insisted that she was the real person; everyone seemed to just go along with her. Even the old-fashioned person reluctantly and condescendingly admitted to Inner Demon, so isn't it a bit unreasonable for her to keep clinging to it?

With her beloved wife nestled sweetly beside her, Fu Hua couldn't muster any anger. The more she thought about it, the more she felt everyone was accommodating her, so perhaps she shouldn't be angry?

But I still can't figure it out, I'm so conflicted!

"Crimson Kite, after this battle, let's go on a round-the-world trip! And then... and then... hehe, we'll get engaged along the way..."

"Ouch! Stop! We can't talk about that. Getting married right after this war is a death flag on TV!"

Fu Hua's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shouted to stop him. All the turmoil in her mind was scared away by Ji Lin's carefree attitude.

Ji Lin covered her mouth, her eyes widening adorably.

"Yes, yes, I misspoke. Anyway, let's cheer each other on and win this war!"

"Hey, that's right. With me, the Immortal Crimson Heron, here, Kevin the Finality is nothing but a pile of rubble. Follow me, we'll definitely win!"

"Crimson Kite is so amazing! I love Crimson Kite the most!"

"Hehehe~~"

Fu Hua, or rather, Xiao Shi, scratched his head and grinned smugly.

At this point, the last minor hurdle before the battle was no longer a problem. Or rather, it was destined that this wouldn't be a problem from the moment Fu Hua first appeared and encountered Ji Lin at the corner of the garden.
