There Is a Taixu Mountain in the Outer Ring—Nicole Takes Full Responsibility

After the lavish dinner, Fu Hua ran into Cui Ji and Anbi on her way home.

"Master."

Outside the burger shop, Cui Ji hurriedly waved to her.

Anbi looked over as well.

As the captain of the Silver Army, blessed with perfect soldier genes, she could naturally see what was different about Fu Hua.

That utterly natural presence.

It was a realm every martial artist wished to attain, yet one that was impossible to achieve.

So powerful. Is this person an expert even stronger than a Void Hunter-class powerhouse?

By the time she finished marveling, Fu Hua had already arrived before them.

"Have you eaten?"

"We just came out of the burger shop. Master, Captain Anby and I went to see a movie today. Then we spent half the day at the amusement park."

"That sounds fulfilling... So you must be Anbi. Sure enough, the two of you really do look alike."

Looking at Anbi, who had been staring at her, Fu Hua smiled unconcernedly.

"Hello. I'm Anbi, Cui Ji's sister. I heard about what happened from Cui Ji. Thank you for saving her from those unscrupulous merchants."

As she spoke, Anbi gave her a perfectly standard ninety-degree bow.

Fu Hua reached out to help her up, then waved her hand.

"No need for such formalities. It is enough that the two of you have been reunited..."

"No matter what, I will remember your kindness. If you ever need me in the future, I will definitely do everything in my power to help."

Seeing Anbi's serious little expression, Fu Hua reached out and patted her head.

"You overstate it. I appreciate the sentiment. As long as you and Cui Ji are happy, that is enough."

"Oh, it is already late. Why not come to my home and rest for the night?"

"That's right, Captain Anby! Come play at our house."

Cui Ji hurriedly grabbed Anbi's arm and pleaded.

"But I need to ask Nicole first."

"That will not be necessary. She is nearby."

With that, Fu Hua looked toward the corner over there and said with a smile, "You may as well come out, Nicole."

"Hahaha, no wonder you're someone even that martial arts-obsessed fox couldn't beat. Your senses are really sharp."

Seeing that she had been discovered, Nicole could only walk out with an awkward smile.

"Nicole hid herself too clumsily. I noticed her too. I just did not say anything."

Anbi said flatly from the side.

"Exactly. How could Captain Anby possibly fail to notice someone following us?"

Nicole scratched her cheek awkwardly.

"Enough. She was only worried about you two. Stop teasing her."

"Miss Nicole, if you do not mind, you may also come to my humble home and rest."

"I do not mind, I do not mind at all. Of course I'm willing! Hehehehe..."

"Sorry, our boss is a little..."

She had never thought much of it before, but now, in front of Fu Hua and her own sister, Anbi felt a rare hint of embarrassment at the sight of her boss and family acting like this.

"It is fine. After all, this is reality. Money is the only tool for getting by in this world."

"Exactly! Miss Fu Hua really knows how to talk. Looks like we get along quite well~"

And so, the four of them headed together to Fu Hua's spacious apartment.

The moment the door opened with a facial scan, Nicole was captivated by the enormous space inside and the luxurious decor.

"Haha... I never thought I, Nicole, would get the chance to stay in a big house in the city center."

The other three were much calmer. Fu Hua pointed to one side.

"The guest rooms for the two of you are over there. Feel free to choose whichever one you like."

"Captain Anby! Let's stay together. I, Cui Ji, have so much I want to talk to you about."

"Is that so? Indeed, it's been a long time. I'd also like to chat with my sisters a little longer."

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead! It may have simply been renamed!

No longer paying attention to the others, Fu Hua took a compass from her pocket.

She formed a hand seal and began calculating.

Following its guidance, she eventually arrived at a corner of the balcony.

After choosing an auspicious spot, Fu Hua suppressed her excitement and opened the big prize wheel.

Today was the anniversary of her arrival in this world.

She had checked the divination. It was an auspicious day.

Nine twenty. An auspicious hour.

And now, she had found a prime feng shui location.

With the right time, place, and conditions—and with eighty pulls already behind her—another ten-pull would bring her to ninety.

"Thinking back on those eighty pulls... twenty-five cartons of papaya milk and fifty-five 'Thank You for Your Patronage.'"

"It should be my turn to enjoy some golden light now..."

Her heart raced, her hands trembled, and Fu Hua tapped the ten-pull button.

As golden light flashed across the screen, the heart of an unlucky gacha loser that had not stirred in ages was finally about to become the heart of Africa.

[Gold] One Taixu Mountain: The map unfolds. The host may designate one of the red dots on the map as the location where Taixu Mountain will appear.

"Th-this... Heaven hasn't forsaken me. Finally... finally, I get to win for once."

Covering her face, Fu Hua indulged in her emotions for quite a while before seriously beginning to choose a place to live.

"Taixu Mountain... perhaps it feels like having a place to belong.

I heard Wei Fei Land is very similar to my hometown. Maybe I should choose that place."

At the thought, a rare, genuine smile appeared on Fu Hua's lips.

After spotting a good location, Fu Hua raised two fingers and was just about to tap it.

Then suddenly—

"Wow! So this is the city center at night? It's so beautiful—"

Nicole came rushing over from who knew where and accidentally bumped Fu Hua's arm.

Her finger slipped, confirming the location.

Taking a closer look, Fu Hua realized that, damn it, it was a mountaintop in the Outer Ring.

The smile on Fu Hua's face immediately froze.

Then her entire body began to tremble.

After Nicole had finished admiring the view, she turned and saw Fu Hua shaking as though she were having a seizure. Concerned, she asked, "Hey, hey, Fu Hua, what's wrong? Fu Hua—"

Sometimes, I really wanted to cry.

After working for so many years, I finally had money and wanted to buy a nice patch of land in my hometown, build a house, and retire in peace.

Then I looked closer and found that some damned bastard had entered Africa as the location of my plot.

"N-no, it's nothing. Go wash up first, Miss Nicole... I just want to be alone for a while."

Seeing that something was clearly wrong with her, Nicole did not feel right staying any longer and hurried away.

"Hey, Cui Ji, does your master have some kind of chronic illness?

I saw her fiddling with thin air on the balcony. I accidentally bumped into her, and then she started convulsing all over."

"Really? How come I never knew Master had that kind of illness? I'll go take a look."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go yet. She seems to be adjusting herself. Let her be alone for a while."

"Master... so you've been enduring such a serious illness by yourself? Tomorrow, I'll take you to see a doctor."

Anby beside them also chimed in.

"I'll go with you. You're our benefactor, after all."

"Hahaha... hahahahaha—"

Fu Hua slumped weakly into a chair on the balcony, faintly able to hear the three of them talking inside.

"Hehehe, haha... whew—forget it. The Outer Ring is fine. Honestly, it's not bad."

"It's fine..."

"Actually, the Outer Ring is pretty good. Fewer people, and it's peaceful."

"That's true. It's genuinely not bad..."

Taking another deep breath, Fu Hua seemed to have finally come to terms with it.

She slowly rose to her feet, her eyes carrying a trace of sorrow as she looked toward the distant scenery.

"Serene and alone, I soar amid the nine heavens, watching mortal lives drift by like dreams.

When I wake, I fear it will all have been but a dream. My life and affairs forgotten—where, then, is my homeland?"
