Fu Hua: I Haven't Grown Even a Little in 50,000 Years!

Fu Hua was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly.

She has been Shenzhou since the ancient times of Current Civilization, so she is well aware of the horror of time and how loneliness can easily erode one if one is not careful.

Unlike Bai Ge, who can enjoy solitude, Fu Hua has at most been able to endure solitude over the past five thousand years.

But things will not be like this from now on. The past and the present have been connected, and our former companions are about to enter the world.

However...

"Hey~ Fifty thousand years have passed, Fu Hua, you're still as honest as ever, without a single bad thought."

"Misteln, what are you doing?"

Fu Hua was taken aback, as Misteln suddenly snatched the communicator from her hand.

Suddenly she remembered something. Although her companion had the appearance of a Saintess, she was actually hard to call innocent. When creating dreams for people other than Bai Ge, she liked to put a knife in even the beautiful dreams.

"Hey~ Fu Hua, don't look at me like that. I just want to tell you that now is a good opportunity."

"A good opportunity? What good opportunity?"

"Is that even a question? Of course, it's a great opportunity to end your 50,000-year-long unrequited love and successfully take your place."

"!!!"

Fu Hua's heart skipped a beat, and at the same time she felt as if she had been stabbed hard, and she felt like she was going to vomit blood.

She was actually among the first group to appear, both in the Previous Civilization and in the Current Civilization.

But what was the result? Now, among the Female Flame-Chasers, only she, Pardo, and Griseo haven't ended up with Bai.

But Pardo is positioned as a pet girl! As for Griseo, she was a 12-year-old girl 50,000 years ago!

Standing next to these two, Fu Hua felt incredibly weak and defeated. Could it be that Bai Ge didn't like her?

Thinking about it, that might be true, after all, Elysia, Eden, Aponia are all bigger than me!

"..."

The Immortal Crimson Crane raised his hand and placed it on the tablet in front of his chest. His face grew increasingly dark. Fifty thousand years, a full fifty thousand years, and he hadn't grown even a little bit!

It's hard to believe that over such a long period of time, even the barefoot Griseo has grown into a stunningly beautiful young woman with an amazing figure.

Thinking about this Fu Hua question her very existence.

She would never forget that she had only returned to the Elysian Realm after several decades, only to find that Griseo, who was a little girl when she left last time, had become someone she didn't recognize!

Other places were one thing, but those two E-rank slimes on her chest really broke her defenses.

(Haha... haha... I always feel like I've found a kind of eternity too. Maybe I should ask Bai Ge to give me his [Eternity] Inscription. I feel like I'd be a good match...)

"Um, Fu Hua, are you alright?"

Misteln took a step back, as if she could see the black aura emanating from Fu Hua.

She would indeed have been stronger 50,000 years ago, but Fu Hua developed for 50,000 years under the effect of the Divine Sound without side effects. Although her figure did not grow, her strength was already terrifying.

"... I'm fine, Misteln, please continue. What kind of good opportunity is it?"

"Ahem, as long as you don't tell everyone in the Elysian Realm that Bai Ge has already traveled through the Previous Civilization, can't you monopolize him now? Trust me, Fu Hua, now is the perfect opportunity for you to successfully take over."

"But, but wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate?"

Fu Hua swallowed hard; she was ruthlessly tempted.

As an honest person, she had never had this idea before, but now that Misteln had brought it up, Fu Hua realized that this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Bai Ge has now completed his journey through the Previous Civilization. Although he failed to rise to a higher position even after 12 playthroughs, his emotional connection with his friends and companions has already surpassed that of his peers.

As long as no Pink Fairy Lady, green snake spirit, pink Fox Spirit, or big moth comes to interfere, wouldn't my chances of taking over be extremely high?

I just feel a little uneasy about it...

"Of course it's not good to do this~ But love is something that can't be satisfied. I'm just giving Fu Hua advice out of consideration for our friendship. Whether you do it or not is up to you."

Misteln then handed the communicator back to Fu Hua.

"... What is your purpose, Misteln?"

"I want to sneak away!"

"... They actually admitted it so readily."

Fu Hua's eye twitched as he looked at Misteln, whose eyes were sparkling. He realized that there was a reason why he hadn't been able to rise to the top all these years; he wasn't as shameless as these people.

Even Fu Hua herself is speechless when she thinks about it.

Even though she could fight Apocalypse-Class Honkai Beast on her own, she just couldn't muster the courage to confess her Bai Ge.

Although in the first playthrough, I used the Feather of the Wind to cleverly let Bai Ge know my feelings.

But too many things happened afterward, and Bai Ge didn't have time to respond. After starting the cycle of reincarnation, Fu Hua herself forgot that she liked Bai Ge.

"So, don't you think this is a great idea? While the wicked women in the Elysian Realm are away, let's just have Bai Ge all to ourselves~"

Misteln smiled radiantly and said.

"Guh! You should know that Elysia and the others have been waiting for this day for a long time, as their companion..."

The tablet fairy's hand holding the communicator was trembling; it was clear she was wavering.

"Hey~ Fu Hua, you're too honest. We are indeed partners, but in the battlefield of love, everyone can only fight alone, unless the other person is your strategist."

"And it's precisely because Elysia and the others have waited for so long that you can't tell them this now. After all... just imagine it for a moment: a few women who have already succeeded in their positions, who are head over heels in love with Bai Ge, but who have been holding back for 50,000 years."

"Fu Hua, do you think you'll have any chance if Elysia and the others come over? They'll definitely monopolize that person 24/7."

"Now is your best and only chance. It's not too late to tell everyone after you successfully confess," Misteln said with a seductive smile, her hands on Fu Hua's shoulders.

Her own purpose was actually very simple: to sneak away and eat her fill while the bad women in the Elysian Realm hadn't come out yet!

As for Mei, Kiana, Bronya, and other Current Civilization combinations, to be honest, this Stigmata Elf doesn't take them seriously.

Although they did arrive first, the amount of time they spent together was vastly different!

Unless... the Current Civilization combination has another way to turn the tide!

"... Okay, I agree to this. But once I've confessed successfully, I'll immediately let everyone know that they can come and find Bai Ge."

The Flat-Top Immortal took a deep breath, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation to rise to power and chose to "betray" his former companions.

"Hmm~ A wise decision. I knew you wouldn't let me down. Fu Hua, let's both win this way."

"Hey, back in the days of the Moth Chasing Fire, Misteln, you were known as Saintess by everyone."

"Well, there is something to it, but... so what?"

Misteln chuckled and shrugged.

"It's only because Bai Ge likes me that way that I try to act that way. I've never called myself Saintess, because I know very well..."

"What kind of bad woman am I?"

If Misteln were to become Flame Chasers, her mark would undoubtedly be called the "Saintess".

However, this rational lady believes that she should perhaps be called a "witch," since she has never cared about anyone except Bai Ge.

Misteln turned and left without looking back; she had now achieved her goal.

Next, we should consider how to cherish this rare time without Elysia, Mobius, Aponia, Sakura, Mei, Vill-V, and others, and enjoy it to the fullest.

"Anyway Fu Hua, you have to do your best. After all, even if we want to hide it, we can't hide it for long. The Elysian Realm will eventually find out about it, so we have to act quickly."

"I... I understand..."

Fu Hua nodded seriously.

Misteln and she knew that if this matter were exposed, they would be in deep trouble.

But risk and reward are proportional!

The two were prepared for the consequences of being caught sneaking away and then being punished by the women in the Elysian Realm!

Misteln: (You guys miscalculated, didn't you? You sent Fu Hua out to monitor her, probably because you thought an honest person wouldn't cheat, right? But... a girl who's been in love with someone for 50,000 years, no matter how honest she is, she definitely won't be able to resist.)

A week, a month, or longer?

Misteln didn't know how long this could be kept secret.

All she knew was that the longer she kept it a secret, the more she could enjoy herself!

However...

This young woman was unaware that the exposure was happening much faster than she had imagined.

Meanwhile, inside the Valkyrie's dormitory.

After Bai Ge finished recounting the events of the Previous Civilization, he felt a little drowsy, but of course, he wasn't bored.

He was just so sleepy.

Having completed all his goals on his journey through the Previous Civilization, Zhou Mu can now put down his burdens, but at the same time, the accumulated fatigue surges up all at once.

(I also need to let them know that I can reunite with Hua at the Elysian Realm, but Hua's presence is right at the entrance, so she'll definitely go and inform everyone. I don't need to bother her.)

Bai Ge's eyelids were already drooping, so she changed to a side-lying position and continued to rest her head on Mei's lap pillow, then let sleepiness erode her consciousness.
