The Prelude to a Love Triangle / Who's Going to Sing "Conquer"?

Kevin stared at Fu Hua with a horrified look in his eyes and a strange gaze. Immortal Vermillion Bird stiffly lowered her hands, her face filled with shame and indignation. The atmosphere between the two froze instantly.

Chapter 636, Prelude to the Shura Field

"No fever. A side effect of memory fusion? But it doesn't make sense for his personality to change so drastically..."

"Come on, prove yourself. What's your number?"

Kevin reached out and placed his hand on Fu Hua's forehead, but she coldly slapped it away. The man pondered this carefully and couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt.

"MSA-209..."

Fu Hua twitched her lips, responded coldly, and then gritted her teeth slightly.

"Alright! I didn't say anything! And you didn't hear anything! Don't mention this again!"

Kevin snapped out of his daze, his expression one of astonishment.

"So, after all this time, this is really what you're worried about?"

Fu Hua's pretty face instantly turned red to her ears; the shame and indignation made her feel utterly ashamed.

"You still dare to talk!"

"Was it your experience during the day that hurt your pride? I'll go and chop the shop owner up for you and get revenge!"

Kevin stroked his chin, feigning seriousness.

"You're the one who should be cut down!"

Fu Hua pursed her lips, her ashamed and indignant gaze falling on Kevin.

"Hua... aren't you being a bit unreasonable? I've always been on your side."

Kevin defended himself, feeling wronged, and was somewhat confused as to why the conflict had drawn him into it.

"You spend two-thirds of your daytime staring at Himeko and the others... Shameless!"

Fu Hua calmed herself down slightly, then coldly rebuked the person and exposed their true colors.

Kevin coughed lightly, feeling extremely embarrassed, while inwardly complaining.

Isn't that obvious? When men look at swimsuits, they always hope to see some curves and a well-built figure, right?

Honestly, you're all covered up so tightly, and your figure... well, let's skip that. In short, there's nothing to see.

Of course, Kevin didn't want to be punched to death, so he wasn't foolish enough to reveal his true feelings and immediately gave an impeccable reason.

"Uh, it's crowded and lively over there, I'm absolutely innocent..."

Fu Hua examined it for a moment, somewhat skeptical, and subconsciously continued to ask questions.

"Then why do you read those kinds of magazines? Exposure... pervert... utterly shameless!"

Kevin suddenly remembered why Fu Hua hesitated to speak and turned away with a heavy heart after seeing the fashion magazine on his table when she entered the room earlier.

How can a fashion magazine publish its content and showcase freedom and attractiveness if it doesn't allow people to show skin? He was caught off guard and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, as Wan Nian's thoughts surged, old and new ideas inevitably influenced Fu Hua's behavior and judgment, and this Cloud Ink Dan Heart type of martial arts technique) was one of the outward manifestations of this.

Kevin didn't rush to explain these things to Fu Hua. He gently stroked the Immortal Vermillion Bird's pert nose and smiled slightly, easing the somewhat complicated atmosphere.

"They're just two lumps of fat, why are you so bothered by them?"

"No!"

Fu Hua paused for a moment, then turned her head away and answered in a muffled voice.

"That means we care..."

Fu Hua remained silent, lowering her eyes to gaze at the crashing, white waves, lost in thought.

"You are you. Why change yourself because of other people's preferences? No one is worth your flattery, Hua..."

Kevin smiled thoughtfully, gently stroking the cascading black hair of the Immortal Vermillion Bird, instantly striking a chord deep within Fu Hua's heart—a longing for recognition and acceptance.

"I'm sorry, was I being a bit unreasonable today? But I don't know why, I just can't control myself..."

Fu Hua lowered her head. After Kevin's guidance, her thoughts became clear, and she realized that she had been too fixated on appearances, which made her feel somewhat guilty.

"No, I'm very happy..."

Kevin smiled brightly, raised his right arm, and tentatively put it on Fu Hua's shoulder. Finding that the Immortal Vermillion Bird did not show any resistance, he was secretly delighted. He lowered his head and whispered in his confidante's ear.

"Because you care about how I see you, you're so anxious and insecure. This proves—you have a crush on me..."

"Nonsense! It's clearly... it's clearly a lie you told me in Siberia!"

Fu Hua's cheeks flushed red, and she glared at Kevin resentfully. In her attempt to argue, she tried her best to break free from Kevin's grasp.

However, Kevin wrapped his arms around Fu Hua tightly, resting his chin on the side of his confidante's pretty face, whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

"Hua... hearing what you said makes me so happy... so happy..."

"You care about my opinions, you care about my feelings, you've transformed from a high and Nine Heavens Xuannü into Fu Hua, who lives on earth..."

"I know that from this day forward, I have left an indelible mark on your heart..."

"But... I don't need you to change..."

True love is about acknowledging and accepting each other... including strengths and weaknesses...

So, you're beautiful, be confident...

Having been tempered by tens of thousands of years of memories and honed through numerous life-or-death experiences, along with the unexpected help from his girlfriends, Kevin's emotional intelligence is naturally on a completely different level.

This sincere Confessions undoubtedly made Fu Hua, who was already infatuated with him, blush and her struggles weakened until she completely gave up.

"Feelings are not about distorting or pandering, but about recognizing and accepting each other..."

Fu Hua murmured to himself, chewing on the words several times. His previously anxious heart gradually calmed down, and a sense of security and joy he had never felt before lingered in his heart.

When Immortal Vermillion Bird came to her senses, she looked down and found Kevin's hands pressed against her lower abdomen. The skin between her ears and temples was hot from his breath. She couldn't help but feel flustered and her body went limp.

"Don't move... not here..."

Fu Hua bit her cherry lips and murmured softly, but she had lost her former strength and was weak and powerless, which surprisingly gave people a sense of wanting to resist but also wanting to accept.

"Okay... I won't move..."

Kevin responded gently, resting his chin on Fu Hua's fragrant shoulder, inhaling the delicate scent of her hair, feeling an overwhelming sense of contentment and peace.

The long night stretched on, the moist sea breeze blowing in, the waves crashing against the pebbles turning into a dazzling display of scattered jade fragments.

Kevin never crossed the line. The two leaned against each other, and although they sat in silence all night, everything was understood without words.

"It's dawn, will you watch the sunrise with me?"

As the stars shifted and the sky began to lighten with the first hints of dawn, Kevin leaned close to Fu Hua's ear and whispered a question.

"Hmm... together..."

The Immortal Vermillion Bird nodded slightly, rose from Kevin's embrace, and jumped off the rock. The man followed, and they walked side by side on the beach, leaving a trail of clear footprints behind them.

As their arms swung, the two gradually drew closer, their fingers Oldest One touching, until, without them even realizing it, their hands were naturally clasped together.

What should we eat for breakfast?

"School cafeteria..."

"Um, how about you make an exception? Like, you cook for me?"

"Stop fooling around, the vacation is over, we have to go back, and there's a ton of stuff to take care of at school..."

Kevin was a little disappointed that he couldn't eat the lovingly prepared bento box by Fu Hua, but he really liked how they were spending time together.

It is as plain as water, yet it is full of deep and genuine feelings.

"Teacher Yang... Principal Fu Hua... you..."

Just then, a figure walked towards them, and the words, tinged with surprise and a strange meaning, made the two quietly let go of each other's hands and slightly increase the distance between them.

"Mei... what brings you here? So early..."

Kevin tried to remain calm, but the closer he got to Raiden Mei, the more guilty he felt.

"Good morning, I'm fine, just came out for a walk..."

Raiden Mei glanced at the two of them, nodded politely, and then walked past them without stopping.

Kevin felt a sense of relief, as if he had escaped a disaster, and immediately quickened his pace to flee the scene of the crime.

However, Kevin did not notice that the figure in the distance had turned to gaze in their direction, and a faint purple light flickered in the girl's eyes.

Phew! He didn't give himself away! After Kevin escorted Fu Hua back to his room, he went in and leaned back on the sofa, patting his chest and panting.

But as his gaze returned, he suddenly noticed three plates of Japanese cuisine and half a pot of steamed rice on the table, the food still warm...

Kevin was stunned. After sending a few messages, he turned off his phone, his gaze complicated.

I came back early... for this reason...

I actually waited all night...

Kevin picked up his chopsticks and silently tasted each dish, but they all tasted bland and unappetizing.

After forcing all the food into his stomach, the man slumped weakly onto the sofa, frowning and sighing, remaining silent for a long time.

As expected... I couldn't hide it from you after all... Mei...

P. S.: I'm sorry, I can only update twice today. During the day, there was a "Beautiful Courtyard" campaign in the countryside ordered by the city, and I was dragged to clean the yards of both my house and my grandparents' houses. I was busy all day.

I was planning to update this evening, but tomorrow my family is taking me to visit my grandparents' generation relatives, and I've been diagnosed with late-stage colon cancer...

This trip home was quite bumpy, please forgive me, I'll make up for it tomorrow.

Chapter 608, Section 637: Who Will Sing the Song of Conquest?

St. Freya Academy, Far East Branch, School Cafeteria.

Having already enjoyed a hearty meal that morning, Kevin only ordered some snacks, sipped his juice, stared out the window in a daze, and occasionally sighed to himself.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to confront Raiden Mei, only to find Kiana, Bronya, and the others wolfing down their food.

"Mei? She seemed to have gone to the training ground with a knife, her expression was fierce, like she was going to kill someone. We don't know anything, and we dare not ask anything..."

"It must be that idiot Kiana, she made Mei- neechan angry again..."

Kiana, who had clearly calmed down considerably, glared angrily at Bronya, whose tone was somewhat confident.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I'm super well-behaved right now, okay!"

Kiana, who had been given a beating, spoke with a hint of trying hard to maintain her image. Clearly, after experiencing persecution, she had nowhere to turn for help and had become like a frightened bird trying to be a good girl.

While the two rivals were still arguing about who was right and who was wrong, Kevin abandoned his half-eaten snack and quietly left.

On the training field, the Siberian snowfield simulated by optical projection, with howling cold winds, made the participants feel as if they were actually there.

Raiden Mei pulled off her hairband, grabbed her standard weapon Raikiri, and faced off against the Demon Dragon Benares. As she charged forward, arcs of light danced around her.

"Swift Shadow Blade! Five Slash Technique!"

The girl dragged her sword, her figure shifting unpredictably. The split sword light multiplied into five, launching attacks from different directions. Honkai energy circulated wildly within her body, and the Thunder Soul Imprint on her back flickered erratically.

"Roar!"

Enraged, the dragon flapped its wings, roared, and unleashed a barrage of fiery meteors, icy tornadoes, and purplish-blue lightning balls, leaving no place for the training ground to stand.

Under absolute suppression, Raiden Mei managed to cleave through several attacks before her arms went numb and her Valkyrie armor shattered, leaving her at her last gasp.

As the dragon slapped its claw, the earth trembled, and clusters of sharp ice crystals, several meters high, spread and grew from the ground with lightning speed, encircling and strangling Raiden Mei. Meanwhile, the electric net above pressed down, forcing the girl into a desperate situation.

At the critical moment, a crescent-shaped blade of dark red light swept across, melting away the combined ice and lightning attack along with the dragon's massive body.

The virtual environment of the combat training ground could not withstand such a massive energy impact and shattered instantly, returning to reality.

"High difficulty? You want to solo Benares in this state? Isn't that a bit too reckless?"

Kevin casually tossed the Skyfire Greatsword into the Void Rift, then stepped forward to help up the somewhat exhausted Raiden Mei, his tone full of concern and reproach.

"Listen to me, eat first, then practice."
