Chapter 277
Seeing that Shen Gonglin was so cooperative, Hi Fu happily kissed Shen Gonglin's cheek. Before the wet, moist feeling had even faded from Shen Gonglin's face, she felt a fragrant breeze on her face, and Hi Fu Shen Gonglin lying down next to her. Fortunately, the Class President had already turned into feathers and was unaware of the current situation, otherwise... Shen Gonglin could already imagine the jealous person's face turning upside down.
Don't let the Class President's ethereal appearance fool you; she's actually quite jealous. If word gets out, Fu Hua will be known as a jealous person.
"My previous Class President would never have done something like this to me on his own initiative..."
Wiping the drool off her face, Shen Gonglin looked at Hi Fu lying next to her like a maggot and muttered to herself. If it were before, she would have tried every means to take advantage of the Class President. But now, Shen Gonglin felt that if she wasn't careful, Haifu would take advantage of her. It was terrifying.
"So didn't I say that I'm the perfect Fu Hua? Shen Gonglin, tell me honestly, do you prefer the old, outdated me, or the different me now?"
Chapter Fifty: Lie down, you C
Feeling the bed shake, when Shen Gonglin came to her senses, the wooden ceiling in her eyes had transformed into a beautiful face that was still quite lovely in the night. Tai Xu Temple didn't have much entertainment, but Shen Gonglin didn't feel bored at all. Looking at those red pupils that shone brightly in the night, Hi Fu put his hands on both sides and stared intently at Shen Gonglin.
Do I think I'm better now, or was I better before?
"Your question really puts me in a difficult position. I don't know how to answer it..."
How could Shen Gonglin answer such a question? Why should he have to make a choice? Couldn't he have double the happiness with two Fu Hua? Shen Gonglin wanted to avoid the question, but Hi Fu wouldn't give him the chance. The girl's hands were on either side of Shen Gonglin's head, and her legs, hidden under the blanket, were firmly pressing him down. He couldn't be allowed to hesitate any longer at a time like this. Besides, Shen Gonglin wasn't a hesitant person at all.
"No, you have to tell me now whether you like me now or me before. I won't let you sleep until you tell me clearly!"
Holding Shen Gonglin firmly in her grasp, Hi Fu stubbornly glared at Shen Gonglin. Seeing him still hesitating, the girl couldn't help but reveal her sharp white teeth. How infuriating! Why didn't he just say he liked her? No matter how you look at it, she was better now—strong, beautiful, proactive, and facing her own heart. Hi Fu couldn't understand what was there to hesitate about. Anyone with a brain would know to choose her.
"But... if I didn't like the previous Class President, how could I like the current Class President? You are very different from the Class President I remember, you could even be said to be two completely different people. Although you look the same and have the same figure, the feeling you give off is completely different. I really don't know how to explain it."
When questioned like this, Shen Gonglin really wanted to tell him his thoughts. In fact, Shen Gonglin didn't really understand things about love. Or rather, he had basically always been in the stage of being loved. His inherent ability was to be loved, but to actively love someone else... Shen Gonglin didn't know how.
So what is love? Shen Gonglin has never delved into this question. Does love mean wanting to be with that person no matter what?
If that's the case, then Shen Gonglin feels she should like many, many people.
"Tsk, you idiot! At times like this, all I need to do is say nice things and be sweet, right? You don't need to be so blunt. You have the face of a vixen, but you don't know any of her tricks. It's late at night, and we're still in bed together. I don't need to teach you what to say, do I?"
Hi Fu was so anxious he was almost scratching his head. This Shen Gonglin is usually quite smart, so why does she become an idiot at such a crucial moment? Can't she tell the truth or lie? She's so easy to coax now. As long as he says some nice things, there will be fun things to do in this long night. What a waste of that pretty face. So infuriating!
Besides, anyone with eyes can see that this guy likes me, right? Really? Surely no one actually thinks he doesn't like me?
"Liking someone is too complicated. I can't explain it, and neither can you. Anyway, I'm just asking you one thing right now. You and I are so close right now, do you dislike me?"
With her arms slightly bent, the physically fit Hi Fu did this plank exercise without any pressure. Of course, this had nothing to do with her being a plank person. The girl lowered her body and stared intently at Shen Gonglin, as if she would pounce on him and bite him if he didn't give her a satisfactory answer. She could tell that this guy had no self-awareness at all. Instead of asking him if he liked her, she might as well ask him if he disliked her.
If you don't dislike something, then you like it.
"Of course I don't dislike it."
You can certainly answer whether you like or dislike Shen Gonglin. You might hesitate about whether you like her or not, but you can answer whether you hate her or not right now. How could you possibly hate Hi Fu? From beginning to end, this girl has never done anything bad to you. On the contrary, she has always cared about you and has given you such a big treat. Just by looking at her face, it's impossible for Shen Gonglin to dislike her. She is so straightforward and speaks her mind. Who would dislike her?
"That settles it! That's exactly what I wanted to hear you say!"
Having received a satisfactory answer, Hi Fu happily squinted his eyes and kissed Shen Gonglin on the lips. Take it slow, one day he will get the answer he wants from Shen Gonglin. But for now... since he has given him such a good answer, he should give him a reward.
If they were boys, they would probably all like that kind of reward, right? Thinking of what they did in the hotel that morning, the girl's face flushed slightly in the night. Even someone as capable and invincible as herself would feel a little shy when doing that kind of thing.
However, even shyness cannot stop Hi Fu from doing what she wants. After all, she is fundamentally different from those girls who are slow and have almost no offensive power. She may have some problems in other aspects, but in terms of action, Shen Gonglin would definitely like her as she is now!
"Why did you suddenly kiss me? You didn't even pay me... Hey, what are you trying to do?"
Shen Gonglin wiped his mouth. It was all too sudden, and Shen Gonglin hadn't even tasted anything. Just as he was about to complain about the sudden sneak attack of the Hi Fu, the girl seemed to be preparing for a tactical retreat. She suddenly slipped into the blanket and curled up in a ball. What was she planning to do? Was this her sleeping habit?
"I'd like to! But now's not the time, so... I'll just give you a little treat."
She lifted the covers, revealing a shy, blushing face. Her ruby-red eyes were half-hidden under the covers as she smiled at Shen Gonglin, her white teeth even slightly gleaming. Shen Gonglin, however, was somewhat bewildered by what she was saying.
What does it mean that now is not the right time? What does it mean to give yourself a little treat?
"Idiot! That's exactly what it means... Don't let girls say things like that, you moron, just lie still!"
Shen Gonglin was inexplicably scolded, and she wanted to retort, but Hi Fu had already covered the blanket with her hands. Then Shen Gonglin's eyes widened suddenly. So that's what it meant.
I'm lying down now, you can have sex.
Chapter 51 Shen Gonglin, who never interrupts
The three walked among the mountains and rivers at dawn, but the fresh air and familiar scenery did little to improve Chiyuan's mood. Having only been released from the feathers that morning, her heart was heavy. In her current state, she was particularly vulnerable to the control of the Hi Fu; it could release her at will, and retreat back into the feathers whenever it was unhappy. And last night...
Nothing else happened, right?
Chiyuan glanced at the seemingly normal Shen Gonglin beside her, then looked at Hi Fu, who was in a good mood and even humming a tune as if on a picnic. This guy not only slept in her bed yesterday, but also used her body to sleep with her, and she couldn't do anything about it. Chiyuan was so angry, but there was nothing she could do. No matter how angry she was, it was of no use.
"Shen Gonglin, yesterday... nothing that shouldn't have happened, right?"
Unable to hold back any longer, Chiyuan walked beside Shen Gonglin and whispered. Upon hearing her voice, Shen Gonglin instinctively trembled. What happened yesterday... she couldn't tell the Class President. So, Shen Gonglin remained outwardly calm, as if nothing had happened. Her deep purple pupils seemed devoid of any emotion. What happened yesterday?
Nothing happened.
"Nothing special happened... I was just lying there sleeping, I didn't move at all."
Shen Gonglin honestly admitted that what he said wasn't wrong. He really didn't do anything. Everything was done by the Hi Fu. It had nothing to do with him. Strictly speaking, he was also a victim. But... for this kind of victimization, please increase the intensity.
She didn't move at all... That's a little better. After thinking for a moment, Chiyuan decided to trust Shen Gonglin. Shen Gonglin shouldn't lie to her about this kind of thing. But she still couldn't let her guard down. This guy was still a problem.
Her jade-like eyes looked at Hi Fu walking ahead, but the girl being stared at didn't care at all. She was already ahead of everyone else, so Miss Hi Fu was in a very good mood. The girl's steps were light, like a butterfly walking among flowers. When she saw a glimmer of light in the grass, Hi Fu happily ran over.
"Hey! There's one here too. That's way too many. Just how many Feather Dust have I left on the mountain?"
Hi Fu bent down and picked the feather that was emitting a faint light from the grass. This was not the first Feather Dust he had found in Mount Tai Xu. They had started collecting Feather Dust early in the morning. There were many Feather Dust hidden in this mountain and water. These were his memories that he had scattered before. Now that he, the master, had returned, it was time for them to return as well.
Pinching the feather between his fingers, Hi Fu injected a little Honkai energy into it, which would activate the dormant feather and awaken the memories stored within it. A flash of light appeared, and another woman with the appearance of Chiyuan appeared before them. However, this Chiyuan did not give people a sense of agility; she was merely a feather that guarded memories.
"Who are you..."
Zhu Hong's eyes seemed somewhat dull. The awakened Feather looked at Hi Fu in front of her and asked such a question, while Hi Fu smiled and looked at her softly.
"I am your master, return my memories and power to me."
As if to verify, a slight trace of the Honkai energy in Feather Dust touched the Hi Fu in front of her, and then instantly withdrew. She nodded, and then her body turned into light spots and dissipated, being absorbed into Hi Fu's body. It was indeed her own power. Hi Fu closed her eyes and carefully examined the memories in this feather. It was indeed her own power. As soon as it saw her return, it obediently returned to her body, unlike the feather next to her.
"Look at her, I wish you were as sensible as her... Let me see this memory, which one is it?"
Hi Fu turned his head and glanced at Chiyuan, complaining. The other feathers were all very obedient, returning to their bodies after seeing that it was him. But the feather next to Shen Gonglin was not obedient at all. It actually wanted to compete with him for who was the real body. It was only because he was magnanimous that Hi Fu didn't want to forcibly take it back, since it was his clone. However, everything has its limits. If it angered him again, he would not show any mercy.
After giving Chiyuan that look, Hi Fu closed his eyes and began searching for memories in the feather he had just found. After a while, a very strange expression appeared on Hi Fu's face, his face contorted as if he had swallowed a large spoonful of salt.
"Uh, it's Dr. Mei's business, how could it be that woman's business? What bad luck."
Opening her eyes, Hi Fu's face was very ugly. How could it be a memory about her? She should have known better than to retrieve this memory. It was disgusting. Her good mood for the whole morning was ruined.
"They were probably just some unimportant moments we shared. I took them out; keeping them wouldn't have brought me any memories."
Chiyuan said that these feathers from Mount Tai Xu were all left behind by her. Fifty thousand years of memories were too heavy, and it was impossible to keep them all in her mind. Moreover, each time she used Feather Dust, her memories would be burned. Therefore, she extracted them in advance and stored them in the feathers. That was what she did back then.
"Of course I know. Remember, I did this, not you... It really doesn't make any sense. She was talking about her plans. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me so angry. Why did I listen to her so much back then!"
Spitting in disgust, Hi Fu glared at Chiyuan. This girl was treating herself like the real deal again. Recalling those fragments of memory, Hi Fu's mood soured. She was such an idiot back then. Why did she think that plan was feasible?
"In terms of results, humanity suffered a crushing defeat under her leadership, almost wiping out completely. They even had to hide in cryogenic chambers until the Finality before daring to emerge. The Ark sent to explore the universe has disappeared without a trace, and the Ganges that hid in the Sea of Quantum has vanished without a trace. The Doctor is a complete failure. I really don't understand why all of humanity follows her lead."
As if a floodgate had been opened, Hi Fu began to criticize Dr. Mei's mistakes, while Shen Gonglin didn't quite understand. He didn't know about these things, so he didn't interrupt. He figured he could interrupt later that night... No, no, why would I think of such a thing? Oh no, am I becoming a bad person?
It's all Hi Fu's fault; she led her astray!
Chapter Fifty-Two: Morning Exercise
"But she stepped forward and took on the responsibility of leading us, and people trusted her courage and determination."
Unlike the somewhat agitated Hi Fu, Chiyuan calmly expressed her thoughts about Dr. Mei. Without a doubt, she was a respectable person, and she didn't want Shen Gonglin to misunderstand. Although he didn't know Mei, no one, regardless of who they were, could ignore the contributions she had made.
"Hmm, so you just don't trust wisdom, okay? The courage of a moth drawn to a flame, the determination to perish together, fine. Anyway, this time, I'm not going to listen to her anymore, nor obey Otto, nor follow Kevin. I'm going to make all the decisions myself. I will turn things around and make everything different. Just you wait and see."
Unwilling to argue with Chiyuan about whether Dr. Mei was right or wrong, Hi Fu spoke these words as if reading aloud. Anyway, she had already made a decision. Before, she had no opinions of her own and would only follow others and take other people's will as her own action goals. But now it's different. Now, no matter what she does, Hi Fu is determined to move forward according to her own ideas. Neither Mei, Otto, nor Kevin can stop her.
She will bring an end to this chaos herself. She will turn things around and transform the world into what everyone desires. This is her responsibility, Fu Hua's responsibility.
Putting everything else aside, at least I can now satisfy Shen Gonglin.
"...Hmm? How come there is Honkai energy here, enough to trigger Honkai Beast? What's going on? I remember there should be a peaceful village of Baiyu people nearby."
Chiyuan didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent. The three of them hadn't walked for long when the Honkai Beast that appeared ahead made her frown slightly. Mount Tai Xu used to have its own barrier, so the Honkai Beast shouldn't be able to enter so easily. This place should be very peaceful.
"What does peace have to do with us? This world doesn't even need that word anymore. Perfect, let me stretch my body a little as a morning exercise. Shen Gonglin has already done her morning exercise, so I should do it too."
After saying those words, Hi Fu rubbed her hands together and charged forward. These trash Honkai Beast were no match for her. Meanwhile, Shen Gonglin was left behind, felt a little embarrassed. He felt cold sweat breaking out on his back, all because of the suspicious look in Chiyuan's eyes beside him.
"When did you develop a hobby of morning exercise? You usually sleep until you naturally wake up and then stay in bed until you can get up. But in front of her, you've become so disciplined that you've started exercising in the morning. It's really surprising."
Chiyuan looked at Shen Gonglin in surprise. How could she not know him? He was as lazy as a serpent. He couldn't even get up early, let alone do morning exercises. But Hi Fu said that he would do morning exercises. Was he just putting on an act in front of the people he cared about? Why didn't he put on an act in front of her? Was it because she wasn't important to him?
"Ah, this is a hobby I just started recently. I only practiced it once. I couldn't sleep anyway, so I just practiced it randomly... just once."
Shen Gonglin scratched her cheek, not daring to look at Chiyuan's face. If Akane knew what the morning training consisted of, she would probably collapse. She was woken up early in the morning by the Hi Fu. Akane's learning ability was simply amazing. She was not proficient at all last night, but she became so good in the morning. No wonder she was the Class President... In short, Chiyuan, the Class President, absolutely could not know. It was a secret between the two of them.
"That's weird... Since you're already like this, why don't you do morning exercises with me from now on? It'll be good for your health."
Chiyuan tilted her head. She couldn't understand why Shen Gonglin had this attitude, but in any case, it was a good thing that Shen Gonglin was willing to do morning exercises. So she made this arrangement for Shen Gonglin to do morning exercises with her every day. She couldn't just do morning exercises with that guy. It was unacceptable for Shen Gonglin to leave the real one here and go to accompany the imposter.
"Oh? Class President, you're doing morning exercises too... Isn't that bad for your health? I mean, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
As soon as Chiyuan finished speaking, the scene flashed into Shen Gonglin's mind: one white and one black Fu Hua, two Fu Hua lying beside her, giving her morning training instructions. Under Chiyuan's astonished gaze, Shen Gonglin's face turned completely red. What kind of heavenly treatment was this? Hi Fu alone was enough for her, and with the addition of this Class President, it was simply paradise on earth. The only thing she needed to worry about was her physical condition.
"No, I know what I'm doing, I'll guide you."
Chiyuan shook her head calmly. She thought that Shen Gonglin was worried about the high-intensity training. But he was overthinking it. How could she disregard his physical condition and do whatever she wanted? She would definitely proceed step by step. Chiyuan was very confident in this regard and could definitely help Shen Gonglin develop good living habits and physical fitness.
"Oh, we'll talk about that later. As long as you two are willing, I don't really have anything to say."
Having said all she could say, Shen Gonglin dared not continue speaking to Chiyuan. She hoped that Akane would remain so confident after learning about the morning training content. She felt that Akane might have misunderstood something; otherwise, Akane would definitely be even redder than her own face.
"Phew, I feel much better after moving around... What are you two talking about, Shen Gonglin? Did she flirt with you? Why is your face so red? Let me touch it."
Just then, Hi Fu, who had just finished eliminating the Honkai Beast and the Suicide Squad, ran back. She immediately noticed Shen Gonglin's flushed cheeks, Hi Fu's expression turned unfriendly. Could it be that this guy was flirting with Shen Gonglin while she was away? That shouldn't be the case. With her cowardly and old-fashioned personality, how could she dare to flirt with Shen Gonglin?
Without any regard for propriety, Hi Fu's icy little hand pressed directly against Shen Gonglin's face. Shen Gonglin felt a wave of comfort as her face was cooled in time, but Chiyuan was far from comfortable. She knew that even if she tried to stop this woman, she wouldn't listen and stop taking advantage of Shen Gonglin. So she simply turned her head away to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed. She hadn't even touched Shen Gonglin like that herself, so why was this woman just grabbing her like that?
"Oh, right, I also remembered the village you mentioned. It's the village that made us out to be immortals, isn't it? Since there are so many Suicide Squad, that village is probably doomed too."
While touching Shen Gonglin's face, Hi Fu didn't forget to chat with Chiyuan. He had some impression of that village, but now it was probably about 80% destroyed.
Chapter 53 Seeing Injustice, Drawing One's Sword to Help
The situation looks ominous... Seeing the increasingly intense Honkai reaction here, Chiyuan's heart also became tense. That's right, even here there are Honkai Beast and Suicide Squad, so the village where the people are gathered must not be in a good situation either. If we go there now, maybe we can still... However, she can't do that now, relying only on a feather. She has to go there herself.
"Let's hurry over there."
As Chiyuan spoke, Shen Gonglin nodded and prepared to follow her. However, Hi Fu grabbed his arm. Chiyuan turned around and looked at Hi Fu with some confusion. What did she mean by doing this?
"Why?"
Unexpectedly, it was Hi Fu who raised the question first. The girl held Shen Gonglin's hand with one hand and twirled her white-to-black hair with the other. Seeing the puzzled look on Chiyuan's face, Hi Fu continued to explain.
"What does that village have to do with me? There are so many disasters in this world, and Herrscher keep popping up one after another. Why should I care about the affairs of a small village? There's no such thing as 'those who fall into demonic possession must be killed' anymore. After the sword heart was shattered, that restriction was gone. Dr. Mei's Divine Sound won't be playing tricks on our minds, making us do this or that."
Hi Fu shrugged and said this, but Shen Gonglin was a little confused. Who exactly was Dr. Mei? Hi Fu seemed to keep talking about her, and this Divine Sound... Didn't the Class President say before that it was part of the Great Void Sword Qi? How come this Divine Sound seems to be related to that Dr. Mei? Things felt more and more complicated, and Shen Gonglin was a little confused.
"However, this is the right thing to do."
Chiyuan tried to dissuade Hi Fu from getting to the village as soon as possible. In her eyes, the girl in front of her was like a child who needed proper guidance. However, Hai Fu seemed to instinctively resist anything Chi Yuan said. It seemed that she would have to use other methods to persuade her.
"What's right is up to me. What are we going to do now? I don't want to go."
Stubbornly refusing to comply with Chiyuan's wishes, Hi Fu sat on a large rock and gently swung his legs. Chiyuan had no choice but to look at Shen Gonglin, Shen Gonglin nodded knowingly. It was time for her, the talkative male lead, to step in.
"Don't be like that. We'll definitely have something to do when we get there. If there are any trapped people, we can save their lives. If not, we can prevent problems before they arise. Besides, we don't have anything to do right now, and it's not a big deal for us. What is this... what is this again?"
The talkative male protagonist forgot his lines. Shen Gonglin scratched her head and looked at Chiyuan. She had taught him this before, but Shen Gonglin usually ignored her. She finally got a chance to act, but this guy forgot his lines.
"It was a chivalrous act."
Chiyuan added, and upon hearing this, Hi Fu's expression immediately became hesitant. She knew that what Shen Gonglin was referring to was the meaning of this arrogant Feather, but since Shen Gonglin had already spoken, she couldn't refuse him. This Feather's heart was truly dirty; he actually used Shen Gonglin to shut her up, knowing full well that she couldn't refuse Shen Gonglin.
"Tsk, although I'm not happy that I fell for your trick, it's what Shen Gonglin said, so it makes sense. It's only right to help those in need. Anyway, it's just a small favor for me, haha."
She made the decision easily. Hi Fu jumped off the big rock, put her arm around Shen Gonglin's shoulder, and then kissed Shen Gonglin on the cheek without caring about anyone else. As for why she kissed her, she was willing, wasn't she? Doing whatever she wanted was the perfect description of her right now. Besides, kissing Shen Gonglin would make her feel good and make Yu Mao unhappy, so why not?
She skipped and hopped towards the village, leaving behind only a grim-faced Chiyuan and a secretly pleased Shen Gonglin. Seeing the silent Chiyuan, Shen Gonglin quickly composed himself to avoid laughing out loud. Then, he also pretended to be silent and walked to Chiyuan's side. Shen Gonglin tugged at Chiyuan's sleeve, his Shen Gonglin demeanor quite pronounced.
"It's alright, Class President, I don't mind, it's okay... It's all for the sake of fighting the Honkai."
Even though she clearly benefited from the situation, Shen Gonglin still had a righteous and awe-inspiring look on her face, as if she was willing to sacrifice herself to fight against the Honkai. Since when did Shen Gonglin become such a scheming person? It's really scary. Time can indeed sculpt a person into their true form.
"You have suffered. Sooner or later, I will avenge you."
