Chapter 266

The blond man responded. Looking at Fu Hua, who was completely different from what he remembered, Otto already had a guess in his mind. However, his gaze was more focused on Shen Gonglin. Durandal actually brought Shen Gonglin back to Schicksal Headquarters. This person is really amazing.

"That's right, you're not that easy to kill. Sigh, let's kill you one more time."

Standing in front of Shen Gonglin, blocking Otto's view, Fu Hua clenched her fists, thinking that another fight was no problem.

Chapter Seven: I'll Smash Your Dog Head

As they were talking, Fu Hua rubbed her hands together, ready to give Otto another beating. After all, she was a hardworking little bee, and if Otto wasn't dead, she would have to help him out. Please, can you just die already? If you die, a lot of people in this world will be happy. Please, just die once.

"Wait, old friend, I am indeed dead, but fortunately, the spare bodies were not kept in the same place. Because of your actions, hundreds of my usable bodies have been reduced to ashes."

Shaking his head to stop Fu Hua's actions, Otto gestured towards the distant firelight. Buried under the ruins there was his life support pod, containing many bodies he could use. Those bodies were unusable after Fu Hua's attack, but judging from Otto's expression, he didn't care. They were just some bodies; using them to welcome back an old friend was fine too.

"Oh, I see. Fine, then I'll kill you one more time. Since half of Schicksal's Mandate can't destroy you, then I'll just destroy the entire Schicksal. It doesn't matter where your physical bodies are; as long as they're all dismantled, it won't matter."

With a relaxed and nonchalant attitude, Fu Hua didn't care about these things at the moment. She looked at Otto in front of her with eager anticipation. Perfect, killing him only once wasn't enough. Now that Shen Gonglin was here, she could kill Otto in front of him to vent her anger. She had only destroyed half of Schicksal, and she hadn't even used her full strength yet.

"...etc."

Bishop Otto seemed startled by his old friend's unpredictable thinking and quick-wittedness. He took a step back, the unease from before returning. This Fu Hua felt very strange to him, despite their identical appearance and the accurate information revealed in her words...

"What? Are you scared? When you shot me in the head back then, why didn't you think of this day?"

Fu Hua stood with her hands behind her back, a smile on her pretty face. This girl-next-door-like expression made Shen Gonglin take a sidelong look. She had never seen her Class President like this before. Was she letting loose? Well, she was really letting loose. Noticing Shen Gonglin's gaze, Fu Hua winked at Shen Gonglin while confronting Otto.

As expected, I am in a better state than ever before. You can tell just by looking at Shen Gonglin's reaction. He really does like me when I'm in my best condition.

"You are not a bad person."

"Huh? You still have the nerve to say that? Of course I'm not a bad person, I'm just doing justice on behalf of Heaven."

Fu Hua clenched her fist. The feeling of punching Otto in the face again and again was so good. She never thought she could try it again. This feeling was really addictive. She would let Shen Gonglin try it later. He would definitely love this feeling too!

"In that case, let's not rush into action. Let's talk things over."

Otto said these words, and Fu Hua's face showed a surprised expression. Did this man know what he was talking about? Reasoning? This kind of person actually thought he could reason with her? What reason was there to reason with someone like him? It was better to just use his fists to tell him the truth of the world.

"Calm down, old friend. I did kill you, and I admit it was my crime. That's why I didn't resist when you wanted revenge. It's a life for a life, and we're even now."

He kept his distance from Fu Hua, as if he were on guard against Fu Hua suddenly rushing up. But they both knew that Otto was definitely another Soul Steel Stand, so Fu Hua wasn't in a hurry to dismantle him. She thought he would give a wonderful speech, but it turned out to be just like this. Is this level of sophistry interesting?

"Haha, I thought you were going to say something like... even? I only killed one of your bodies. You're perfectly fine right in front of me now. What kind of even is that? I'm going to kill you until you're reduced to ashes, so you can never be resurrected, Otto!"

As if unable to contain her emotions, Fu Hua revealed a wild smile. From her expression, it was clear that this girl was already plotting how to deal with this Bishop of Schicksal. You killed me once, now let me kill you once, is that fair?

Fu Hua wouldn't accept that kind of fairness.

"... You're standing right in front of me, perfectly fine too!"

Otto reached out and pointed at the Fu Hua in front of him, who was gradually becoming different from the Fu Hua in his memory. Her hair had turned gray-white, and the clothes she was wearing were not any of the clothes he remembered her wearing. Her immortal appearance had slowly separated from the Fu Hua in his memory into two different individuals. It was truly a strange thing.

"Just as I said, you killed me, I killed you, I was resurrected, and you were reborn. Isn't it because I carefully treated your body that I gave you this chance to be reborn? If you really think about it, not only do we have no enmity, but he also gave you a life-saving grace, my friend."

Otto spoke calmly, and this attitude made people unconsciously start to believe him. For example, Fu Hua was speechless after Otto spoke to her. The girl talked for a long time but couldn't say anything meaningful. She instinctively felt that something was wrong with this man's words, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Ah, this feeling is terrible!

This looks exactly like a grown man wooing a naive little girl. Doesn't this man have any shame?

Shen Gonglin could no longer tolerate this. Although Fu Hua's current state was a bit strange, she and Fu Hua were on the same side no matter what, so how could she just stand by and watch her be bullied by Otto? Thus, Shen Gonglin stood up for her.

"But if you hadn't fired, none of this would have happened. Look, you shot such a handsome forehead. All you've said doesn't stop my Fu Hua from smashing your dog's head in. Go, Fu Hua, smash his dog's head in!"

Stepping forward and standing beside Fu Hua, Shen Gonglin stretched out her finger and tapped Fu Hua's forehead. Although it was smooth and white to the touch now, Shen Gonglin still remembered the miserable state of Fu Hua's sudden death. Why argue with him? Just smash his dog head in.

"Ah, right! That's right, it's all because of you! Watch how I smash your dog head in!"

As Shen Gonglin poked her forehead, Fu Hua remembered the incident. It had hurt a lot back then, because he had betrayed her and shot her!

Chapter Eight: I Know Nothing

"Wait, wait..."

Seeing that Fu Hua was about to smash her own head under the instigation of Shen Gonglin... Otto meant head, the bishop quickly spoke up to stop her. Although destroying another replacement body was not a big deal, he had something to say to her. This Shen Gonglin seemed to enjoy watching the show.

"Even if it was my fault for firing the gun, shouldn't you have done enough with the mess you've made in Schicksal? This place isn't all bad people like me. You shouldn't have brought sacrifice and pain to Durandal, who just fought you, and those Valkyrie who are fighting against the Honkai."

There was no other way. In order to protect his own head, Otto could only rely on the Valkyrie of Schicksal Headquarters to protect himself. They were innocent. If the entire Schicksal organization were destroyed, there would definitely be casualties. Based on that, Otto felt that she would not be so ruthless as to kill him.

"Pooh!"

She had obviously thought of these things too. She didn't want to really hurt those Valkyrie. They were all excellent warriors fighting against the Honkai. Even if it weren't for Shen Gonglin, she wouldn't want to do this. Fu Hua's face turned red and then pale. At this moment, she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only spit at Otto's feet in disgust. Then she grabbed Shen Gonglin and was about to leave. She was so angry!

Where are you going?

Watching the two turn and leave, Otto knew that his words had worked and that he had saved his life. Staring at Fu Hua's back, Otto suddenly thought of something. His Schicksal had been torn apart like this, and he couldn't let his ally live a carefree life.

"Seven days... No, what's it to you?"

Fu Hua unconsciously uttered a few words, then turned around and glared fiercely at Otto. Meanwhile, Shen Gonglin, whose hand was being held by Fu Hua, suddenly felt the word "danger" flashing above her head. What was going on? Why did she suddenly feel like she was in danger?

I'd like to give you some advice.

"You? What good advice do you have?"

Upon hearing Otto's words, Fu Hua paused in her tracks. Could it be that he had a good hotel to recommend? Although she didn't mind such things, even if it meant sleeping under the open sky, she would still be willing to go if there was a better place. After all, it was Shen Gonglin, and she had to give her a little sense of ceremony.

"Old friend, old friend... After all, we've known each other for a while, and I'm one of the people in this world who understands you the most. I can see you're confused, can't you? You've just woken up and don't know who you really are yet, and you're not used to your identity and position. You need someone you're familiar with... I'm not referring to Shen Gonglin. The only person he's familiar with is that tiny, insignificant part of you."

Instead of recommending a nice hotel to her as Fu Hua had expected, Otto spread his hands and said this. Although the woman had always acted very assertive, wasn't this also a sign of her discomfort with the unknown? Therefore, he felt it necessary to divert her troubles a little.

"You need someone who knows you, someone who understands you, someone who can help you correct your direction and find your anchor point."

Fu Hua currently possesses great strength, but her mind has not yet been properly organized. Fortunately, Otto knew of someone who could help Fu Hua end this state as soon as possible; otherwise, this Fu Hua who acts as she pleases would not be the one he remembered.

"Hey... you're not thinking of coming with me, are you? No way, if you dare follow me, I'll kill you. Don't you know that third wheels die?"

She looked at the man in front of her in surprise. Could this guy be trying to come with her after saying all this? If so, she really had to think about whether she should grind him to dust. She and Shen Gonglin's private world didn't need anyone else to interfere. This kind of vengeful bastard should die if he dared to come over!

"No, no, no, I'm referring to the past you. Before you died, didn't you leave behind a Feather Dust as a backup plan? I know where it is. Coincidentally, its current owner is someone you know."

After saying that, Otto Apocalypse gave a friendly smile.

"It's in Kevin Kaslana's hands."

Upon hearing the name, Fu Hua's pupils constricted sharply, but then a smile returned to her face. Kevin, an old friend, it seemed her feathers had fallen into his hands. She knew he wouldn't disappear so easily after all.

"Good news. Come on, tell me where he is now. I need to go get my things back."

Fu Hua was eager to try. Only someone from the same era as her could withstand her full-force attack. Very well, she had found a place to warm up.

Shen Gonglin... still no news. The intelligence says Mei is also on Coral Island. They should meet up, right? I wonder how Mei is doing lately... By the way, why is the training room empty today? Where's Bronya?

Meanwhile, at the Hyperion's temporary base, Kiana, having finished her training and shower, emerged, drying her wet hair. After Shen Gonglin Jingu ran off and left the Hyperion, the entire warship seemed to have fallen silent. The ordinary staff members would quietly hide when they saw her from afar. Kiana knew why they were hiding and wouldn't pursue the matter. She was used to such looks, but thankfully, a considerable number of people still treated her the same way as before.

For example, Bronya and the others, but why haven't I seen that girl all day? Where could she have gone? I searched all over the warship, but she wasn't with Auntie either. Finally, Kiana found Seele on the Hyperion. Looking at the uneasy girl sitting not far away, Kiana thought for a moment and went over.

That child seems quite timid, usually staying close to Bronya. However, she seems to have a good relationship with Shen Gonglin. Shen Gonglin often rests on her lap, and the girl doesn't dare to resist. She's always with Bronya, so I might as well ask her.

"Hey, Seele... Seele, right? Do you know where Bronya is?"

After thinking for a moment, Kiana went over and asked directly. When Seele heard this voice, she trembled and turned away, not daring to look at Kiana.

"Xi, Seele... Seele doesn't know anything!"

Well, it seems this girl must know something.

Chapter Nine: The Strongest in the World

Seele should keep Bronya's secret, right...? Even if she doesn't, it doesn't matter. I have to find Shen Gonglin.

On the coastal bridge, a white shadow sped by like the wind. Bronya was driving a motorcycle transformed from Heavy-duty Rabbit, rapidly heading towards Coral Island. In the light rain, Bronya's expression was calm and composed. After learning that Shen Gonglin was on Coral Island, this girl couldn't sit still. Knowing that her actions would definitely not be allowed by the headmaster, she acted on her own after instructing Seele. After all, being willful is a girl's privilege.

However, it will probably cause some trouble for the headmaster. Bronya has already encountered several people checking her driver's license along the way. After all, such a cute little girl driving such a motorcycle doesn't look like she has a driver's license at all, plus the problem of running red lights... But since she doesn't even have a driver's license, there's no way to punish her, right?

Bronya lowered her body and accelerated, but just then, an alarm sounded from the motorcycle made of the Heavy-duty Rabbit combination. Something was approaching from behind. What was going on?

Bronya looked back and saw something speeding out of the mist behind her amidst the storm. Bronya could only vaguely make out a pair of red pupils in the darkness. What was that? And the feeling was strangely familiar.

High above the clouds, a dazzling meteor suddenly streaked across the sky, leaving behind a series of screams. Fu Hua flew at full speed, constantly accelerating, as if a sharp sword were cutting through the sky. Even the screams of Shen Gonglin couldn't slow down this frenzied girl in the slightest. This feeling was just too good! It had been so long since she had used her body so recklessly and without restraint. There was no pain or discomfort at all. This feeling was absolutely amazing!

Otto wasn't deceiving himself; he had indeed completely healed his old injuries. Since being severely injured five hundred years ago, his body had never felt so healthy, strong, and light. With renewed speed, Fu Hua enjoyed the unique and exhilarating feeling of tearing the air apart. This feeling was simply amazing, and she believed that Shen Gonglin must have experienced the same thing.

The girl looked down at Shen Gonglin, who was wrapped around her chest with her arms through her hands. At first, he would scream, but now he was unusually quiet. He must have gotten used to this height. After learning what Otto had said Fu Hua decided to take Shen Gonglin to World Serpent to find her old friend and get her things back. Wasn't that the only right thing to do?

"Hey, Shen Gonglin, why aren't you saying anything? I'm holding you like this, just to please you, so you should be able to feel the perk I'm giving you, right? Talk to me... Hey, what's wrong?"

Feeling her current physical strength and health, Fu Hua slowed down slightly. But when she picked up Shen Gonglin and brought him to her side, she found that his eyes were rolling back and his mouth was even foaming at the mouth. She had almost forgotten that he had a severe fear of heights. She was too excited and had forgotten about it.

Feeling quite embarrassed, Fu Hua stuck out her tongue and quickly covered Shen Gonglin's eyes with her hands. This guy was afraid of heights but couldn't help looking down. It would be much better if his eyes were covered. Look, he seems to have regained consciousness all of a sudden.

"Hoo... What happened? What's blinding me... By the way, you're not really going to World Serpent to find Kevin right now, are you, based on that guy's contact?"

With everything pitch black and unable to see the height, Shen Gonglin was finally able to speak. Putting her fear of heights aside for now, it seemed that Fu Hua, who exuded a peculiar aura, was about to head to the World Serpent's base to cause trouble. Undoubtedly, Otto had provided these coordinates. Were Schicksal and World Serpent truly allies? Consider the destruction this Class President caused in Schicksal ...

Could it be that Otto, seeing his Schicksal ruined like that, wanted to shift the blame and have the Class President dismantle the World Serpent as well? What a petty person he is, not magnanimous at all, so far behind me.

"Yes, we need to get back the feathers I left for you. If I'm not mistaken, I'll probably have to fight Kevin. It'll be a good opportunity to test his skills."

The white-haired fairy said this. At this moment, she had changed her appearance drastically. A single horn, exuding black energy, grew obliquely on her head among her pale hair. This was an adornment she had given herself. How should I put it? The Class President now seemed to be a bit chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), in addition to being somewhat lively.

"I see... But that guy's got some skills, I'm not even sure I can overpower him... How about we call Durandal to join us? That girl is really strong."

Hearing that Fu Hua was planning to cause trouble for Kevin, Shen Gonglin hesitated and tried to dissuade her. He had fought Kevin a few times before, and the guy was very strong. Even Shen Gonglin couldn't see through him. So, if they were to fight him, it would be better to gather their forces and gang up on him. Durandal was undoubtedly the main damage dealer, and having her around would definitely make things easier.

"Hey, are you saying I'm Durandal? This time, I'll let you see my strength for yourself, and don't mention any other women in front of me! Right now, even against Kevin... no, what am I thinking? Of course I'll win!"

Upon hearing another woman's name from Shen Gonglin, the very emotional Class President immediately became unhappy. She pinched Shen Gonglin's cheek and emphasized, "Does he think Durandal is the only powerful woman in the world? I beat her up several times at Schicksal Headquarters. I'm obviously the stronger one."

"Thinking back on it carefully, I don't think I've ever beaten him before, but we've never really fought seriously either. In terms of adaptability to Honkai energy, that guy is better than me, but in terms of combat skills, I'm better than him. I lost because of the Tengu no Haikyuu, but if we use Feather Dust well... it's hard to say who will win."

After carefully analyzing her own and Kevin's strengths and weaknesses, Fu Hua summoned the feather. If she could make good use of the Feather Dust and catch Kevin off guard, her chances of winning would not be small. Why not give it a try this time?

The title of "strongest in the world" sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Chapter Ten: Your Driver's License Will Be Confiscated

"Let me see... Wow, it's so high! You'd better hold on tight, or there'll be no chance of saving me if I fall... This Feather Dust doesn't seem to be completely intact."

Pushing aside the hands covering his eyes, Shen Gonglin glanced at their current height, swallowed hard, and then hugged Fu Hua tightly. Only in this way could he feel a little safer. He focused his gaze on Fu Hua 'Fu Hua hands, where a cherry blossom-colored feather was floating and glowing faintly. Feather Dust was the Class President's Divine Key, but the Feather Dust he was in was not complete.

"Yes, that's right. The Feather Dust I'm using now was stolen from Otto during our battle... Well, you can't really call it stolen. It was originally mine, so this is called returning it to its rightful owner. This is just one of the Feather Dust's clones, so its abilities are limited. But I am the master of the Feather Dust. When feathers see me, they all have to obediently bow down and submit. Look, just like now."

To demonstrate to Shen Gonglin, Fu Hua slightly activated the power of Feather Dust. Suddenly, the feather in her hand emitted a burst of white light, and a white-haired, red-eyed immortal slowly appeared in the light. Then, it merged into Fu Hua's body and became her power. See, these feathers of hers have such a master-servant relationship.

"The Feather Dust is very useful. This thing is completely ineffective against conscious living beings. I tried it with Otto before and copied a memory from him. The idiot didn't notice at all. I'll do the same to Kevin later. Maybe he won't even have a chance to pull out the Heavenly Fire. Shen Gonglin, look how awesome I am."

Fu Shen Gonglin proudly showed off her power to Fu Hua, like a child who had just received a fun toy. She couldn't wait to boast about her abilities to Shen Gonglin, while Shen Gonglin's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

"Is it really okay to watch?"

Her mind wandered involuntarily, Shen Gonglin's gaze shifted downwards. The Class President was wearing a very beautiful black outfit. Shen Gonglin didn't know whether to call it a dress or a cheongsam, but in any case, it was very beautiful. Pretty girls like them would look like models even if they were wearing a burlap sack. Her words... well, what could she do? Shen Gonglin's mind was always wandering.

"Huh? What are you talking about... Tsk, you pervert, you know perfectly well that's not what I meant, but if you want to see, that's not impossible."

At first, she didn't react, but after thinking for a moment and considering Shen Gonglin's gaze, Fu Hua realized what he was talking about. However, the girl didn't even blush. She hugged Shen Gonglin with one hand, and Fu Hua the other hand, she gently lifted her skirt. Anyway, she would definitely have children with Shen Gonglin in the future, so this kind of thing would be commonplace. Besides, her body was so perfect, why should she be shy? If Shen Gonglin wanted to see, she could let him see.

"No, no, no, I'm still young, this is too exciting..."

Shen Gonglin quickly pressed down Fu Hua's hand. This Class President completely different from the one she remembered. In the Class President, if she said something like this, Fu Hua would definitely blush and be speechless. But now, this Class President was like a seasoned pro. She wasn't shy at all, or rather, she seemed to think that doing this in front of her was perfectly normal. This was really strange.

"You're not young anymore. In some eras, fifteen-year-olds were already married, and you're at the perfect age... Well, it's a bit inappropriate to do this in public. It's better to do this in bed at night... By the way, do you think I might have left feathers for Kevin too? I'm too lazy to search my memories. That's too much trouble. I'll know the answer soon enough. There's no need to go through all that trouble. Shen Gonglin, do you want to check Otto's memories? I'm too lazy to look anyway."

The current Class President is much better at telling dirty jokes than I am. She can easily say things that make Shen Gonglin blush and her heart race. Shen Gonglin is a little embarrassed, but thankfully she quickly changes the subject. Well, the current Class President seems a bit childish. Seeing that she seems quite interested, Shen Gonglin still shakes his head. He has no interest in exploring other people's memories. He hasn't even recovered his own memories yet, so where would he find the time to look at other people's memories?

"Well, anyway, there's probably nothing interesting in that trash's memories... Hey! Is that Bronya? I sense some kind of power. It seems a lot has happened to Bronya while I was dead. Is this power... Herrscher?"

Seeing that Shen Gonglin was unwilling, Fu Hua didn't force her. In her opinion, these were all trivial matters. If Shen Gonglin wasn't interested, so be it. It was still early before dark, and it wasn't time to sleep. So Fu Hua prepared to take Shen Gonglin to find Kevin to retrieve her things. However, at this moment, Fu Hua was startled again. She sensed something. This feeling was Bronya.

The lively girl instantly became interested. She hugged Shen Gonglin tightly, and before he could speak, Fu Hua immediately accelerated and flew into the distance, cutting through the wind and clouds. In the storm below the clouds, Fu Hua saw Bronya speeding on the coastal bridge. Hey, long time no see. Bronya has learned to speed now. Does she even have a driver's license? Looks like I, as the Class President, will have to go and teach her a lesson.

"Hey!"

With a single kick, Fu Hua snapped off the spire of the nearby tower. Holding the broken spire in her palm, black energy formed patterns on the spire. "It's been so long since I've seen Bronya. I should say hello to her."

"Shen Gonglin, have you ever tried flying on a sword? Let's go check Bronya's license. Since she's Herrscher, this level of communication should just be a casual greeting."

Fu Hua hurled the spire with all her might into the distance, and then flashed onto the rapidly moving spire once more. In the storm, Fu Hua, with Shen Gonglin in her arms and the spire under her feet, quickly approached Bronya.
