Chapter 214

However, compared to the more straightforward Durandal, she's definitely easier to deal with than this ever-smiling maid vice-captain. The vice-captain may appear to be smiling, but she's undoubtedly plotting some underhanded schemes. As a member of the Immortal Blade, she knows all too well how powerful this vice-captain is. What should she do? What should she do? Should she side with the vice-captain...?

Thinking about it carefully, the vice-captain and Shen Gonglin have an incredibly close relationship, and Durandal is clearly not satisfied with being just an ex-girlfriend. She will definitely do everything she can to become the current girlfriend again, which means she will definitely need to get along well with Shen Gonglin. If I listen to the vice-captain, that would be the same as getting along well with Shen Gonglin. Then, with a little persuasion from the vice-captain, the situation would be completely different. So, wouldn't it be better for me to stand on the vice-captain's side?

Tsk, this workplace life is really tough. One wrong step and you're in deep trouble!

"Think about it carefully, Alvit. I'm waiting for your reply."

After whispering those words in Alvit's ear, Rita walked straight into the transport ship, followed closely by the other members of the Immortal Blade. Alvit hesitated for a long time before finally making up her mind: Damn it, let's do it!

Chapter 206 Let's get an ear cleaned.

As night fell and the light of dawn shone into the city, the long night was finally coming to an end. Shen Gonglin followed Kiana to her nearest base. Since Shen Gonglin left, Kiana had been wandering around the city, partly waiting for Shen Gonglin's return, and partly trying her best to eliminate the Honkai in the city. During this time, there had been far too many Honkai incidents in Sky City, and Kiana had been rushing to every location where Honkai had occurred. She keenly sensed that these events were likely connected.

"Phew, finally back. Shen Gonglin, would you like something to eat? There's some toast over there, and there should be some jam left. I'm going to take a shower first, I'll be right back."

This hideout is quite secluded. I really don't know how Kiana found this place. It's a bit small, but it's fine for temporary accommodation. After bringing Shen Gonglin back, Kiana brushed her hair and went into the bathroom. She is still very clean. If conditions permit, Kiana tries her best to keep her body clean. After experiencing such a battle last night, she inevitably got a lot of dust on her body. It's so good to be able to take a bath at this time.

"Can you manage on your own? Or should I help you?"

Shen Gonglin looked at Kiana with concern. Taking a bath must be a rather dangerous thing, right? After all, Shen Gonglin had seen on TV that when boys and girls chatted, if the girl mentioned taking a bath, they would always add a "be careful" comment. Shen Gonglin thought he should be that considerate too, so he could totally help Kiana take a bath. He was worried that Kiana wouldn't get clean enough. Despite his appearance, Shen Gonglin was actually very confident in his scrubbing skills and could definitely scrub off a layer of dirt from Kiana.

"What's wrong with whether it's possible or not? But if you want to come... well, it's not impossible. Anyway, it saves water if two people shower together."

Kiana blushed and said that it was not easy to reunite with Shen Gonglin. If possible, she would like to be with Shen Gonglin all the time and put her whole heart on Shen Gonglin. Anyway, she would definitely be with Shen Gonglin in the future, so it was only a matter of time. It's just that this bathroom might be a bit small. If the two of them want to take a shower together, they will definitely have to squeeze together... She was really good at having foresight. It was so good to rent such a small house.

Shen Gonglin nodded solemnly. He had to admit that Kiana was right. Saving money was a virtue, so he decided to make things difficult for Kiana by showering with her today. It would also be a good opportunity for him to check on Kiana's recent development. He felt that the girl had become very thin from hunger, which was a big deal. He couldn't let her become as thin as the Class President.

As Shen Gonglin took off her clothes, she walked towards Kiana. To hypnotize herself, Shen Gonglin said righteously, "That's right. I didn't expect you to know such a virtue as Kiana. I'm impressed with you. Although I'm a little embarrassed, I'll still go shower with you."

However, at that moment, Kiana and Shen Gonglin forgot about the presence of a third wheel. In a flash of white light, Fu Hua reappeared between them. The expressionless Akane reached out and pulled up Shen Gonglin's clothes, while simultaneously pushing his shoulders and pressing him down onto the sofa so he couldn't move. She really couldn't relax for a moment. Shen Gonglin had always had this problem, and now even Kiana was following his lead. Nothing good could happen between these two. She had to keep a close eye on them.

"Our conditions aren't that bad yet, Kiana. Go take a shower by yourself. If you shower together, he'll just make you dirtier."

With Rin Shen Gonglin restrained on the sofa, Fu Hua sat next to him and smiled at Kiana. If something like this really happened, it would be disastrous. Now that Mei wasn't around, she, as the Class President, had to take on this responsibility. She had to protect both Kiana and Shen Gonglin.

Make it dirtier? How could that be? Why would showering together make it dirtier?

Shen Gonglin and Kiana were both puzzled by this question. They looked at Fu Hua with confusion, while Fu Hua's fair face grew increasingly red under their gaze. These two seemed to have no idea what they were talking about. Was it just that they were the only ones who had misunderstood? That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that they hadn't learned this in biology class? These things should have been taught in St. Freya's class... Right, it seems like they haven't been paying attention in class at all. Kiana is a terrible student; she's awful in all subjects except combat. And while Shen Gonglin is very intelligent, it seems like he's never really attended class properly.

It's a sin for the two of them to have made the immortal think of such a thing!

"Alright, Kiana, go take a shower now. I'm about to begin my training with you, and I hope you're ready."

Quickly changing the subject, Fu Hua pushed Kiana into the bathroom. They couldn't dwell on this any longer, or the fairy maiden would blush even more; she couldn't maintain her usual poker face anymore. Kiana, on the other hand, was somewhat confused. Hadn't the Class President said it was difficult for her to maintain her physical form? But why did she feel that ever since Shen Gonglin returned, Kiana had been trying her best to remain in physical form? With this question in mind, Kiana went into the bathroom. She'd put these things aside for now; the class Class President was going to guide her training later, and that was the most important thing.

Phew... I finally got away with it. It's all because of those two idiots. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

After escorting Kiana into the bathroom, Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief. Then she saw Shen Gonglin sitting on the sofa; he gently patted the spot beside him, and Fu Hua understood. The fairy-like girl cautiously glanced into the bathroom, and only after hearing the sound of running water did she relax. With light steps, Fu Hua sat somewhat awkwardly beside Shen Gonglin. Her red and white short cheongsam perfectly accentuated the fairy-like lady's figure, and this girl, exuding an aura of detachment from the world, was now sitting next to Shen Gonglin.

"Ah~ It's definitely more comfortable to stay by the Class President's side. Class President, I miss you so much... Can you clean my ears?"

Lying down on the sofa, Shen Gonglin rested her head on Fu Hua's lap and let out a long sigh of relief. She loved using the Class President's lap as a pillow.

Chapter 207

The room wasn't big, and the soundproofing didn't seem very good. Kiana's showering sounds came through the door, making Shen Gonglin feel itchy inside. The itchiness in her heart made her feel itchy all over. With her cheek pressed tightly against the other girl's soft and elastic legs, Shen Gonglin felt like a cat.

"Don't move, or I'll shove what I took out of your mouth."

Shen Gonglin's restless movements annoyed Fu Hua. It was one thing for him to just lie on her lap, but why was he wriggling around like a maggot, making Fu Hua's legs itchy? Meanwhile, the fairy was carefully cleaning Shen Gonglin's ears with a feather. Fu Hua cherished this peaceful and tranquil moment, wishing the guy could just behave himself.

"Oh, then I won't move... Ouch, right there, Class President, be gentle, don't poke me deaf."

Shen Gonglin settled down obediently, lying quietly on Fu Hua's lap. His nose was filled with the scent of his Class President; she had a way of making people feel at ease. Shen Gonglin picked up the remote and turned on the TV, but there weren't any prime-time dramas he liked to watch at this time. Shen Gonglin randomly dialed the remote, but just then, a news article caught Shen Gonglin eye.

Recently, Rita Roseweisse, a representative of Schicksal, will visit the Shencheng Medicine Group in Sky City, bringing medical supplies. This visit will deepen the close cooperation between the two groups.

The message flashed by, seemingly not important news, but Shen Gonglin and Fu Hua took it to heart. Rita was coming to Sky City again? They didn't believe Rita was coming here just to visit a business partner; she must have a purpose. The only reason Shen Gonglin and Fu Hua could think of for sending Schicksal's S-rank Valkyrie back to Sky City at this time was Kiana.

"It seems things are getting more complicated. Kiana and I have recently sensed that this city is hiding some secret, and Rita's arrival at this time makes me feel that something bad is about to happen."

Setting the feather aside, the white feather vanished as it turned into specks of light. Fu Hua gently pressed Shen Gonglin's head and said with a somewhat solemn tone, "I have a premonition that a conspiracy is shrouding the entire city, and at the center of this conspiracy is Kiana."

"Yeah, I feel the same way. First it was World Serpent, and then it was Rita... But don't worry about Rita, she's one of my people. Even if we run into her, there won't be any problems. She's very obedient, so Class President, don't worry."

Shen Gonglin slightly raised his head and rubbed against Fu Hua's lower abdomen. It felt so good to snuggle together like this all the time. He didn't take any conspiracies to heart. Strength was Shen Gonglin's confidence. This wasn't the Sea of Quantum anymore. Shen Gonglin didn't need to rack his brains to analyze anything. When it came to strength, who was afraid of who? The current Shen Gonglin was not the one who could only use the power of the Herrscher powers. At worst, he could just lie in bed for a few days afterward.

"Is that so? She's yours... Wait a minute, Shen Gonglin, what were you saying just now, World Serpent?"

Fu Hua squinted at Shen Gonglin, who was lying on her lap. This guy was lying on her lap saying that other women were quite exciting. Fu Hua, who was focused on this, didn't immediately realize the other key point in Shen Gonglin's words: World Serpent? A memory rushed into Fu Hua's mind: a white-haired, blue-eyed man. Wasn't the organization he founded World Serpent?

Realizing this, Fu Hua became somewhat agitated. How could Shen Gonglin know about this organization? And judging from his words, it seemed he had even fought against World Serpent.

"I'm not entirely sure either. It's just what I've learned from working with Theresa and the others recently. The World Serpent seems to be a strange organization. Their leader... or boss, is a white-haired, blue-eyed guy, which is quite similar to Kiana. I even fought him in the Sea of Quantum, and he's a tough nut to crack... By the way, that guy seems to be very familiar with your power, Class President. If I hadn't used some tricks, I probably would have actually won."

Seeing Fu Hua's reaction, Shen Gonglin also became somewhat curious. That guy Kevin should know the Class President. Shen Gonglin had this feeling when she fought him. Back then, Shen Gonglin used the Great Void Sword Qi taught by Fu Hua to fight him. In the end, if her God Resonance wasn't strong enough, she really wouldn't have been able to contend with him. Moreover, Shen Gonglin could feel that he probably didn't unleash his full power at that time. Of course, neither did she.

...Unexpectedly, it really was him. Now things are getting more and more complicated. He would wake up at this time, and Shen Gonglin had even fought with him. Fu Hua knew that man's strength well. Could Shen Gonglin be injured? As a former comrade-in-arms, Fu Hua knew better than anyone how strong that man was. She didn't think Shen Gonglin would be his opponent. This wasn't because she underestimated Shen Gonglin; it was the power accumulated over the years. Even if Shen Gonglin possessed the power of the Herrscher of the Void, it would be useless.

The Herrscher, that man killed more than one.

"Phew, I'm done showering... Hey, you two are so lovey-dovey! Aren't you hot snuggling together like that?"

Kiana came out after taking a shower, her long white hair cascading over her shoulders. As soon as she came out, she saw Shen Gonglin lying on Fu Hua's lap. The girl pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, "That's too much. That should be my spot."

"Huh? It's not hot. Shen Gonglin feels cool to the touch... Ahem, Kiana, you're done showering? Now that you're done, let's start practicing. But we need to find a suitable environment first."

Kiana's voice interrupted Fu Hua's thoughts. That man's renewed activity couldn't be a good thing. It seemed she had to speed up the process with Kiana. She needed to get her under control of the Herrscher's power as soon as possible. The Great Void Sword Qi was perfect for Kiana right now. She had already taught it to Shen Gonglin. Fu Hua was quite confident in teaching her disciple.

"A suitable environment? Class President, isn't this place suitable?"

"Of course, there are more suitable places."

Kiana walked over, and Fu Hua gently raised her hand towards her. The immortal flicked her fingers slightly and touched Kiana's forehead. The girl closed her eyes and fell asleep. Dreams are a more suitable place for teaching.

Chapter 208 Behave Yourself

"Hey, Class President? What happened? Why did Kiana faint?"

Seeing the girl's body slump down, Shen Gonglin quickly reached out and caught her. Her still-damp little head rested on Shen Gonglin's shoulder. From the girl's sleeping face, Shen Gonglin saw a trace of fatigue, but even more so, a sense of relief. After wandering alone for so long, Shen Gonglin had finally returned. Leaning on him, Kiana felt an indescribable sense of peace.

"The teachings in the dream are more suitable for Kiana's understanding. Her body is already very tired, so this is a good opportunity to let her rest. I will take care of the teachings in the dream. Shen Gonglin, I'll leave the guard duty outside to you. You should be able to do that."

With a touch of pity, Fu Hua glanced at the girl lying in Shen Gonglin's arms. This was Fu Hua's plan: guiding her in a dream wouldn't affect her guidance at all, or rather, this kind of guidance etched into her subconscious was even more profound. She couldn't waste any time, nor could she exhaust Kiana's energy, so this was the best choice. Her body was resting, while her spirit was being tempered. This was truly the essence of superior martial arts. After explaining these matters, Fu Hua's body emitted a white light and gradually dissipated, returning to Kiana's consciousness. With Shen Gonglin outside, she felt at ease.

Oh, I see. The Class President is so biased. Why wasn't she like this when she was guiding me back then? I really envy Kiana. Not only can she see the Class President in reality, but she can even see him in her dreams. That's what it means to be together day and night. It's making me want to ship Fu Qi. Calm down, I've always been on Mei and Kiana's side.

Shaking his head, Shen Gonglin carried Kiana and placed her on the bed. The Class President was right; Kiana needed a good rest. He could imagine how she had struggled alone all this time. But now that he was here, she could finally relax and rest. Looking at the girl's beautiful face as she slept, Shen Gonglin gently brushed the hair from her forehead. He could see Kiana and be with her now, but the others at St. Freya didn't have that opportunity. Not only did Kiana trust him, but everyone else did too. So, to meet their expectations, Shen Gonglin had to take good care of Kiana.

"I almost forgot, all you need to do is be on guard against emergencies. As for anything else, Shen Gonglin, you'd better behave yourself."

The light coalesced once more, Fu Hua, still uneasy, reappeared before Shen Gonglin. The immortal lady looked at Shen Gonglin with great suspicion. Kiana was asleep, and she was busy guiding her in her dream and had no time to care about the outside world. If Shen Gonglin took this opportunity to make a move on Kiana, it would be disastrous. So she had to give him a heads-up beforehand.

"Okay, okay."

Shen Gonglin casually waved his hand. After Fu Hua disappeared again with a hint of disbelief, he curled his lip. Honestly, the Class President clearly didn't intend to trust him. What happened to trusting him? It's as if he would take advantage of Kiana while she was sleeping. Where did the trust between people go? While complaining about the Class President, Shen Gonglin quickly squeezed onto Kiana's bed. The single bed was a little crowded with two people, so Shen Gonglin could only reluctantly hug Kiana's body next to him.

Shen Gonglin was also sleepy. She buried her head in Kiana's shoulder, Shen Gonglin, and closed her eyes. She really didn't know how trust between people could be so lacking. The Class President was too calculating. How could she possibly do anything messy?... Sure enough, it was more comfortable to sleep with a big body pillow next to her. Only then could Shen Gonglin sleep peacefully.

"Where am I...?"

After a hazy moment, Kiana found herself in a strange place. The mist had dissipated, revealing green mountains and clear waters, with birds singing and flowers blooming. She felt as if she were in a green mountain, with heavy, solid stone bricks beneath her feet. The surrounding scenery was picturesque. Where was she? Just being here made her feel relaxed. How strange.

"This is... your dream."

A peaceful voice rang out, Fu Hua had appeared beside her without her noticing. The white-haired immortal looked around at her surroundings with a somewhat melancholy expression. Kiana seemed to see a hint of nostalgia in her red pupils, but she said that this place was her dream.

"This is the Void Illusionary Realm created by the Eighth Divine Key, Feather Dust. It is the boundary between your consciousness and mine. What you have learned in the past is no longer enough to deal with the impending danger. Here, I should have enough time to teach you something."

Shaking off those inexplicable thoughts, Fu Hua looked at Kiana very seriously and said, "In dreams, the passage of time becomes meaningless. As long as Kiana's spirit is strong enough and her own strength is sufficient to continue, this will be the best training ground."

Even Shen Gonglin had never received such instruction from me, and now I never expected to use it on Kiana. I feel a little sorry for Shen Gonglin. I should bring him along next time. Today, I'll teach Kiana first to give her some basics, and then Shen Gonglin will guide her together. I believe that this way, Kiana can make the greatest progress.

"I understand. As long as it makes me stronger, I'm willing to have this dream as many times as I want. But... Class President, we're dreaming here, but what about Shen Gonglin? What's he doing?"

There was no haggling. In the past, Kiana would have definitely refused if she heard that she had to train in her dreams. But she is different now. Only with greater power can she protect everything she wants to protect. After hearing Fu Hua's answer, her eyes were filled with determination. It's just a dream, it's just training, Kiana can accept it. It's just Shen Gonglin... what is he doing in his dreams?

"You don't need to worry about him. After you've laid a solid foundation, I'll train you all together with him. What we're going to start today is training specifically for you. In the Valkyrie training, you received a simplified version of the basic knowledge. Now, what I'm going to teach you is called the Great Void Sword Qi."

Fu Hua passed on the skills she once taught to Shen Gonglin to Kiana, and now, that's exactly the kind of martial art Kiana needs.

Chapter 209 Chiora

[Destination approaching, imminent arrival, Shenzhou, Sky City, autopilot program terminated, Eos initiates landing procedure.]

As night fell, a uniquely designed transport ship arrived above Sky City. Inside were the Immortal Blade squad, who had come from the Schicksal Headquarters under the guise of inspecting a partner group. Rita stood by the window, looking at the city under the night sky. In this seemingly peaceful city, however, many unknown shady dealings were hidden.

"Vice Captain, we are about to arrive... The receptionist from Shencheng Medicine requests communication."

Having received the communication request, Alvit, having composed herself, reported the matter to Rita. Seeing the girl's resolute expression, Rita knew her choice. Alvit decided to continue writing; after all, even if she offended the captain, the vice-captain would protect her. The vice-captain was definitely well-liked by Shen Gonglin, so even the captain should give her face. At worst... she could just write some Durandal and Shen Gonglin, and even the captain shouldn't make things difficult for her.

Look how far this kid has been pushed; this is what Alvit's career is like.

"Okay, let the team members wait on the ship. I will return immediately after I complete the handover and inspection."

Rita nodded. Now was not the time to expose the entire Immortal Blade. At this moment, it was enough for her to appear alone. One person should be able to make the enemy lower their guard. It was better for the Immortal Blade to operate in secret.

"Yes, I understand."

After giving Rita a military salute, Alvit turned and left. Now she needed to start planning the next part of the plot. How exactly should she give Durandal and Shen Gonglin moments? Given Shen Gonglin Jingu's personality, it would probably have to be Durandal who takes the initiative to seduce her. But Durandal's image... it's hard to imagine her seducing someone. This is really troublesome. She needs to think about it carefully.

"Communication established."

Rita gently pressed the button on the control panel, and a woman's shadow appeared on the screen. Her pale purple eyes were hidden under the hood, giving her a mysterious look. Seeing the woman's attire, Rita frowned slightly. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy after seeing this woman. This representative of Shencheng Medicine was probably no ordinary person.

[Welcome to the Industrial Zone, Miss Rita. I am Chiora, an advisor from Shencheng Medicine stationed in Shenzhou. Please allow me to greet and accompany you on your inspection tour. Please land the ship at the designated location. I will treat you well.]

The woman on the screen was none other than Raven, a cadre of the World Serpent. Raven smiled at Rita on the screen, but hidden beneath that smile was unspeakable hostility. Schicksal's S-rank Valkyrie was a big fish, but this time they had prepared the right bait. Everything was just waiting for this S-rank Valkyrie to walk into their trap. Schicksal, there wasn't a single good person among them!

"Thank you so much. I look forward to your guidance, Miss Chiora."

She responded with a smile in return, but the professional maid's smile was much warmer. However, this was also Rita's disguise. Both women had their own ulterior motives, and it remains to be seen who was scheming against whom.

The ship came to a stop, Rita gracefully stepped out of the Eos. She immediately saw the woman who had appeared on the screen earlier— Chiora, huh? She was certain she'd never heard that name before. Rita nodded slightly and greeted her. The woman looked rather strange, wearing a cloak even in the darkness. From her angle, she could only see the woman's eyes, but judging from her figure... she hadn't expected it to be better than her own, especially her breasts. If that giant cat-man hadn't seen them, her standing in his heart would probably have dropped another notch.

Rita originally thought her figure was already quite good; among the women Shen Gonglin knew, Rita was probably number one. But now she realized that there are always people better than you. This Miss Chiora... perhaps only the former captain of the Hyperion, Miss Murata Himeko, could compare to her.

"Hello, Ms. Rita, I've arranged the handover of the goods. Is there anything else you'd like me to do?"

Raven also felt a little strange. This Valkyrie seemed a bit odd. Why was she staring at her? Had something gone wrong with her acting? Could it be that she noticed something was off? That shouldn't be the case... Raven had no idea what Rita was thinking. She composed herself and took the initiative to speak. After all, she was now playing the role of an advisor to receive and entertain Rita, not some dark mercenary.

"I really have a favor to ask. This place is quite grand. During the break between handing over the goods, could you please show me around?"

It's important to understand the internal structure of Shencheng Medicine, since I might need to secretly infiltrate it for investigation. So, having someone from inside show me around is essential. Now that I have this opportunity, Rita will definitely not give it up. Since I'm getting three times Otto's salary, Rita have to put in three times the effort. That's what the perfect maid's life aesthetics are all about.

"Of course, no problem. Please follow me."

Also playing the role of a Shencheng Medicine, Raven led Rita into the industrial area. She knew what the Valkyrie wanted to do, and to prevent her from wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly and not finding the traps they had set, Raven really had to help Rita familiarize herself with the way. Only in this way could she ensure that she perfectly obtained the gift they had prepared for her.

Raven walked ahead through the heavy gate, while Rita followed a step behind. The interior of the Shencheng Medicine Group was now in full view of Rita, and it was indeed enormous.

After the Second Honkai, Shencheng Medicine provided medical assistance to people affected by the Honkai around the world. In order to transport medicines locally, Shencheng Medicine decided to produce them in the local industrial zone. Although it was located on the outskirts of Sky City, it was still much better than transporting them from thousands of miles away... This was the information Rita had obtained at the Schicksal Headquarters. However, looking at the interior of this industrial zone, her intuition told her that this place was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Chapter 210

"Ugh... Phew, I'm so tired. It feels like I've been fighting all day."

In Kiana's dream, the girl was panting heavily, her hands supporting her knees. Although it was a dream, it felt exactly like reality to Kiana. Every time she raised her gun and jumped, she expended the same amount of energy as usual. Kiana couldn't remember how long she had been fighting. She wasn't some perpetual motion machine; of course, she would get tired if she kept fighting like this.

"There's still a long time until dawn, we can practice slowly. Kiana, let's rest for a bit."

Fu Hua, standing opposite Kiana, also withdrew her stance. During this time in the dream, she had been Kiana's sparring partner. Perhaps due to her personality, Kiana didn't have the quick-witted talent of Shen Gonglin, but the girl possessed a unique comprehension. Although she could only grasp the general idea of the theory, she had the ability to memorize the feeling of battle with her body. Therefore, Fu Hua, who taught according to her aptitude, decided to let her experience more battles so that she could form that feeling into muscle memory. This was also a good method for Kiana.

"A long time still? Class President, why does it feel like so much time has passed? I... I'm a little tired..."

Upon hearing Fu Hua say "take a break," the girl immediately sat down on the ground. She wiped the sweat from her forehead. How could it be that there would be such a long time? If it was just a dream, shouldn't it have ended long ago?

"The sense of time passing in dreams is completely different from that in reality. Sometimes you have a dream that is as long as a fleeting life, but when you wake up you find that only a short moment has passed. This kind of practice in dreams can help you master the most things in the shortest amount of time."

Unlike Kiana, who sat on the ground without any regard for her image, Fu Hua still had some self-consciousness. She leaned against a boulder to rest. Training Kiana was also draining her energy. She had created this environment, and she was the one sparring with Kiana. It seemed she really needed to bring in Shen Gonglin to spar with Kiana. She was already barely surviving by relying on her feathers, and if she expended any more energy... she wouldn't be able to stay by their side any longer.

"Ah, I remember, I've heard an idiom that describes the situation you described, Class President. I think it's something like... 'a meal of millet and chrysanthemum,' right?"

Kiana was able to rest for a while and relaxed a lot. At this moment, she recalled what happened in St. Freya's class. Himeko had taught her this idiom before, and she remembered that she was daydreaming and sleeping at the time. Now, thinking about it, Kiana felt a sense of regret. It turned out that those beautiful daily days were now just a beautiful dream that could never be reached.

"... It's all a dream. In the ancient martial arts of Shenzhou, there are techniques called 'sitting in oblivion' and 'fasting of the mind,' which refer to the process of recalling and practicing what one has learned during the day after entering a meditative state."
