62. So this really has become a three-day trip to Mount Taixu

Sirin at the group of Chi Yuan, each one heavy enough to crush Honkai Beast, Xiao Shi couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

"Sigh... I remember the Chi Yuan that Lian Shan first bred didn't look like this. When exactly did their height start to grow horizontally...?"

"Could it be that the Old Fossil fed them too much?"

"How is that possible? I remember Fu Hua telling me that she used to grow vegetables every day on Mount Tai Xu and pickle spring herbs to Spring Not Old. Even her own figure didn't change much. How could she possibly fatten up Chi Yuan?"

"Stop, stop, stop..." Sirin followed Xia Ling's words, searching through his memories for a moment, and then was instantly overwhelmed by the Spring Not Old of thousands of years.

"You, you shouldn't even mention this rubbish, it makes me nauseous just thinking about it... How did I manage to eat this stuff for thousands of years without getting tired of it?"

"Then you'll probably have to ask Fu Hua inside the feather... Speaking of which, I'm quite curious, what do these Spring Not Old look like?"

"Uh..." Sirin thought for a moment, then her expression turned grim again. "Forget it, I won't describe it. I'll just look for it for you later. Maybe Mount Tai Xu still has some in stock..."

Okay~

After leaving behind a number of feathers as souvenirs, Xia Ling happily bid farewell to the group of tearful and angry but dared not speak Chi Yuan, and then immediately found the next place to visit— Fu Hua's "former residence" on Mount Tai Xu.

It's no wonder this house has a shelf life of thousands of years. Protected by Honkai Energy, even though no one has lived here for so long, the house is still as clean as new, without even a speck of dust.

"How about it, the Tai Xu Sword Qi, isn't it amazing?" Sirin's expression was quite proud.

"This isn't the Tai Xu Sword Qi... Never mind, whatever makes you happy." Fu Hua, who had come along, was about to explain when she stopped speaking with a strange expression.

Seeing that there was a complete house, driven by hunger, Xia Ling's inner cooking spirit began to burn fiercely.

It's not fair to blame her for being greedy. In fact, due to her recent laxity, Xia Ling has been getting up around ten o'clock almost every day. When she gets up at this time, she naturally doesn't think about breakfast.

Don't ask why it's so late, just because Theresa did it too.

Xia Ling got up today and started preparing for her mission. She then secretly traveled to Mount Tai Xu to solve the problem of Herrscher of Sentience... It's almost 3 p. m. now, and she still hasn't had lunch.

Taking the ingredients out of the system space, Xia Ling, under Fu Hua's guidance, began to try cooking over a fire using the stove in the house.

As for Sirin... she certainly couldn't stay still. After watching for a while, she ran off to the vegetable garden.

However, she wasn't there to plant or harvest vegetables; to be precise, she was searching for the Divine Key in the vegetable garden.

As the only source of ingredients for Mount Tai Xu, Fu Hua took meticulous care in protecting this vegetable garden back then, placing even more Key of Domination and Feather Dust around it than there were around her house.

Sirin naturally had no intention of wasting these weapons. She ran straight into the vegetable garden and, under Fu Hua's somewhat unbearable gaze, began to happily dismantle them.

After a while, Sirin returned, carrying a jar as if presenting a treasure.

"Look, Xia Ling, what have I found?"

"This is..." Fu Hua, standing to the side, had a strange expression.

"No, this must be the Spring Not Old..."

Xia Ling carefully lifted the lid of the jar, and sure enough, it contained a jar of green, unidentified vegetables.

"How about it, want to give it a try?"

Sirin grinned mischievously. "The Honkai Energy seal on this is intact, so theoretically, this jar of Spring Not Old is still edible."

"Really?" Xia Ling picked up a small piece, feeling the dampness in her hand, and then...

"Hey? You, you actually ate it?!"

Sirin was startled by Xia Ling's actions and quickly grabbed her Xia Ling, saying, "I was just joking!"

"I'm really curious... but never mind, I can't taste it right now anyway, so I'll just keep it and have the Doctor analyze it when I get back."

"I don't think it's good to add this unnecessary workload to Doctor..."

Fu Hua somewhat helpless. She suddenly realized that there was a reason why Xia Ling liked Sirin; the two of them seemed to have somewhat... unconventional personalities.

Especially after getting to know Sirin, she seemed to have a sense of liberation.

In short, this made Fu Hua suddenly feel like she had gone from taking care of one naughty child to taking care of two naughty children.

After all the commotion, the three of them finally had a full meal, which was also Sirin's first meal since birth.

Taking advantage of the brief time alone after dinner, Xia Ling also edited a message and sent it to the Helios, which was not far away.

"Bronya, look! Sister Xia Ling sent us a message!"

On the Helios, Kiana suddenly rushed into the cockpit.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing? If it's a bad thing, Bronya will have to start preparing to speed things up."

"No, don't rush... It's nothing too serious. Sister Xia Ling specifically reminded you not to fly too fast and get caught speeding by the Schicksal authorities."

Bronya: (???)

"So, what exactly is it?"

"Sister Xia Ling said she found the Class President at Mount Tai Xu."

"Hmm? Bronya remembers, didn't you say before that the Class President was...?"

"That's right, that's the second question Sister Xia Ling."

Kiana's expression was somewhat strange. "She said that the Class President seems to have developed a split personality as well, and the new personality that has emerged is... a bit childish."

"Class President? Childish?"

Bronya's eyes widened in confusion. "Can these two words be used together?"

"According to Sister Xia Ling, the situation is somewhat similar to that of Sirin and Seele. This new student has a somewhat sensitive personality."

Kiana scratched her head. "I know Sirin... but what about Seele?"

"Let's wait until Seele is willing to explain. Anyway, Bronya isn't quite sure either." Bronya immediately understood the situation. "Then, is there anything else?"

"It seems that she and the Class President had a little conflict over the name Fu Hua... However, the Class President doesn't seem to care much about the name, and Sister Xia Ling also told us to be careful to call her Fu Hua."

"It doesn't sound dangerous, and it even seems kind of interesting." Bronya immediately became interested. "Bronya understands, Kiana, go back and hold on tight."

"?"

"Bronya, it's time to accelerate!"

"Aren't you still going to speed?"

Chapter Sixty-Two: This really turned into a three-day trip to Mount Tai Xu.

Above Mount Tai Xu, a transport ship was slowly circling.

Without a doubt, these were Bronya and Kiana, who were rushing to the scene.

However, it seems that because the infrastructure of Mount Tai Xu is somewhat backward, they searched for a long time before finding a place to land.

"Is this Mount Tai Xu? It's so beautiful..."

"Idiot Kiana, you can look at the scenery whenever you want..."

Bronya quietly tugged at Kiana's sleeve. "Look, isn't that the Class President in the distance?"

"It seems so, but... why is the Class President dressed in black? He looks quite handsome."

"That idiot Kiana has such a weird focus. Bronya, do you mean to say she's like the Class President?"

Kiana finally realized. "You mean, she's the Class President's second...?"

Before Kiana could finish speaking, Bronya covered her mouth.

"Idiot, how can you call someone's second personality directly? It's so impolite. Didn't Sister Xia Ling say that her inner self might be a little sensitive?"

"That's right, I almost forgot about that..." Kiana exclaimed, "Bronya, you seem to have a lot of experience."

"That's because of Seele... Never mind, let's go up and say hello first."

However, before the two even got close, Sirin had already spotted them.

"Hey Kiana, Bronya, how come you got here so fast? Xia Ling told me you'd be at least an hour away."

Bronya noticed that Xia Ling's meaningful gaze immediately fell on her. She blinked and then guiltily looked away.

"As expected of you, you've turned Bronya's situation into a precarious one with just a few words."

Kiana gave Sirin a thumbs up.

"Ah, I'm so sorry... Bronya will forgive me... right?"

"Just play games with Bronya. The Class President's bad luck has seriously affected Bronya's gaming experience. I hope you Fu Hua, haven't inherited the Class President's bad luck."

"Don't worry, I'm not like that Old Fossil. Playing games is a piece of cake for me!"

Before this, Xia Ling had already told Sirin that she had explained her situation to Kiana and Bronya in advance.

Sirin didn't mind much. Since she accepted the current situation, she didn't need to hide it like before. Her conversation with Xia Ling made Sirin realize that it wasn't so unacceptable to speak openly about things.

So, Sirin readily agreed to Bronya's request to understand her behavior through the game.

Even without mind reading, judging from the feelings revealed in Kiana and Bronya's superficial consciousness, they completely regarded Sirin as a newly acquainted friend.

This brings us to the importance of first impressions.

In the original work, as Fu Hua and Sirin's arguments became increasingly heated, Kiana and Bronya harbored a certain degree of hostility towards Sirin from their very first meeting.

Even though neither of them are usually as clueless as Fu Hua, in that situation, they would never guess Sirin's intentions in a positive light.

With Xia Ling's intervention, Fu Hua and Sirin reached a reconciliation, and Sirin's position could no longer be within the enemy's sphere.

In addition, Xia Ling had arranged with Fu Hua beforehand to conceal the fact that Sirin was Herrscher throughout the entire process, and she specifically used Seele and Sirin's situations to explain the situation to Bronya and Kiana.

As a result, their attitudes toward Sirin were almost completely different from those in the original work.

In this situation, how could Bronya, the orphanage harem queen, and Kiana, the head of the St. Freya group, possibly not get along well with Sirin? Given Sirin's personality, becoming friends with them would be a natural progression.

As for whether the physical examination after returning to the main ship would reveal that Sirin was Herrscher, Xia Ling was not worried at all.

Don't forget that Sirin Herrscher of Consciousness; it's naturally easy for her to modify the inspectors' consciousness.

Moreover, this behavior itself serves as a constant reminder of her true identity.

Thus, the more Bonds she forms with the members of the Hyperion, the greater her guilt will become. Eventually, when she can no longer deceive herself, she will naturally find an opportunity to confess.

Considering Sirin's simple-minded personality, Xia Ling felt that this period of time would not be too long.

After reviewing her plan once again, Xia Ling nodded in satisfaction.

Then she noticed that things seemed a little unsettled ahead.

"Old Fossil, something seems off about Kiana's consciousness?"

"That's the personality of Sirin Herrscher of the Void ... I was the one who suppressed her when we were in Changkong City."

"Then... didn't you pass away later?"

"Could it be that Xia Ling is behind this?"

Kiana nodded, confirming, "That's right, it's Sister Xia Ling who's helping me."

"But I don't see any seals related to the mind in your body... Never mind, this is a piece of cake for me. Come on, Kiana, close your eyes, I'll take care of this problem for you."

"Wait, wait, what are you doing now!" Xia Ling and Kiana were startled at the same time, just like Kal'tsit when she saw Nio trying to "unlock" the Doctor's mind.

"Class President, quickly grab Fu Hua and stop her from touching Sirin!"

In the Mount Tai Xu, four, five... no, maybe six people, in any case, spent a rare and pleasant three-day holiday.

Whether it was Fu Hua revisiting familiar grounds, Xiao Sirin experiencing memories, or Kiana studying the Tai Xu Sword Qi, or Duck Duck who didn't suffer another defeat, this trip to Mount Tai Xu was a very rewarding one.

Of course, Sirin might not think so, because she has found that her situation has recently become somewhat "difficult".

First, there's Fu Hua. Her own Old Fossil, for some reason, has suddenly started to change his personality lately.

Faced with Fu Hua's occasional sudden words of concern or greetings, Sirin found herself somewhat unable to cope.

Then there's Xia Ling, who's even more of a heavyweight. She expresses her feelings of liking someone without any beating around the bush, and her direct attacks often manage to make Sirin flee in panic after just a few words. I wonder who she learned that from.

Kiana and Bronya quickly figured out Sirin's personality in the past few days. In fact, as long as you give her more recognition and praise, Sirin will not refuse your requests at all. She will just say, "Sigh, I really can't do anything with you," and then help you solve your problems.
