"Uh, Boss Nicole, five million is a lot, but for some reason,
I'm really not that surprised."
Anby nodded in agreement beside her.
"Nicole, with Fu Hua's payout as a lead-in, your five million really does seem a little dim."
"Huh? Fu Hua, how much was your commission that it made these two think five million was nothing?"
"Eighty million."
"...How much? Eighty million? That's enough to buy my life, isn't it?!"
"Well then, you three discuss things first. I'm going back to my room to rest."
With that, Fu Hua turned and left.
"All right! Even though Fu Hua's eighty million is indeed a fortune, it isn't ours.
Let's get our hands on the five million in front of us first."
Nicole finally recovered from her shock and stressed this to the other two.
"Understood, Boss Nicole!"
And so, the three began discussing things in the living room.
Fu Hua returned to her room, opened the system panel, and redeemed the Cloud Ink Dan Xin form.
Then she set aside half the money and used the rest to open the lottery space.
"Let's pull them all..."
After hesitating for a moment, Fu Hua began tapping the draw button.
Amid countless "Thank You for Your Patronage" notices and Papaya Milk,
Fu Hua actually saw a red flash.
[Premium·???? is being distributed--]
Looking at that message, Fu Hua was initially delighted by her incredible luck.
But this loading screen seemed like it would take quite a while.
After watching it for some time, she took out a Papaya Milk and drank a bottle.
Then she chose to go to sleep.
Honkai Impact 3rd, Taixu Mountain.
A woman who looked exactly like Fu Hua sat blankly on Fu Hua's empty bed.
She was feeling somewhat down.
No, it would be more accurate to say she felt utterly miserable.
Thinking back to a few months ago.
That old bastard Welt had vanished without explanation.
Seeing Tesla and the others grieving, Herrscher of Reason had cursed him out furiously.
She had even mocked him for it.
But the next day, after she woke up,
when she went to Fu Hua's room, she found that Fu Hua was gone.
At first, she thought Fu Hua was playing hide-and-seek with her.
Little Herrscher had practically turned all of Taixu Mountain upside down before realizing
that Old Fossil had truly disappeared.
She sniffled.
Little Herrscher muttered,
"Old Fossil, you think copying Welt and disappearing is fun, huh? Fine! Don't let me see you again.
If I see you again, I'll..."
As she spoke, Herrscher of Reason began to sob.
Knock, knock, knock...
There came a knock at the door, and Li Sushang, dressed in plain clothes, stood outside and said,
"Ancestral Master, pull yourself together~ Maybe Ancestral Master Fu Hua will come back after a while."
"I know, Little Sushang. I don't care about Old Fossil. What she does has nothing to do with me."
"But your tone obviously doesn't sound very good."
"Bullshit! I'm not crying. I'm the great Ms. Herrscher of Reason.
How could I possibly cry over something like this?!"
"All right, all right, but don't lock yourself in Ancestral Master Fu Hua's room. It's been so many days already.
You should come out and take a walk, clear your head."
"Shut up! I'm your Ancestral Master. You're not allowed to criticize me."
"All right, all right, Ancestral Master, could you come out? Kiana and the others are worried about you too."
As if recalling something, Herrscher of Reason stood up and opened the door.
Only then did Sushang let out a sigh of relief.
"Ancestral Master, you're finally willing to come out..."
"Tch, I'm not a child. Stop sticking your nose into my business."
"Yes, yes, yes, Ancestral Master, how about we—"
Sushang had originally wanted to say something else.
But Herrscher of Reason's eyes suddenly widened.
"Little Sushang, what the hell is that behind you?"
"Huh? Ancestral Master, what's behind me? Wait, where did this black hole come from?!"
In the next moment, a powerful suction force came from it. Caught off guard, Sushang was sucked straight in.
Fortunately, Herrscher of Reason reacted quickly.
She hurriedly grabbed the other woman, holding onto the railing behind her with one hand.
"What the hell, where did this black hole come from?! Is this even right?!"
"Little Sushang, hold on tight!!!"
"Ancestral Master, wait, something seems a little off..."
The two held on for quite some time, but seeing how stubborn they were,
the black hole simply increased its power.
Whoosh, whoosh--
In the end, the railing Herrscher of Reason was holding shattered.
She and Li Sushang were dragged into the black hole together.
"Hey! Who's pulling strings back there? If you've got the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one!!!"
Floating through an unknown space,
Herrscher of Reason flailed her arms and shouted.
Li Sushang beside her shook her head, feeling a little dizzy.
Suddenly, a notification appeared before them.
[Transport in progress--destination: Fu Hua's side.]
Herrscher of Reason, who had been shouting moments ago, froze. She wriggled twice in midair.
She grabbed the screen in front of her, her blood-red eyes fixed on the words.
"Is this real?! You're taking me to Old Fossil?! That's great--"
"Ancestral Master, what's wrong?"
Sushang recovered beside her and asked.
"Ahem, it's nothing. We're heading to Old Fossil right now, so get ready."
Realizing her grand-disciple was beside her, Herrscher of Reason hurriedly composed herself.
"Huh!? Really? Were Mr. Welt and Ancestral Master Fu Hua transported away like this too?"
"I don't know. Probably."
Somewhere in space.
A pair of eyes widened into perfect circles.
"Wait, why did two come? Didn't they say only one would be transported?"
A ball-like creature glanced at the mission list in its hand.
It scratched its head in confusion.
"Forget it. They're master and grand-disciple, so as long as neither is missing, it's fine."
Early in the morning, Nicole and the others had already gone out to handle their commission.
After getting up, Fu Hua began washing up.
She habitually opened the panel to check it.
"Ninety-nine percent. Hmm, looks like it's almost done."
Suddenly, her phone rang.
"Hello?"
Fu Hua answered while brushing her teeth.
"Teacher, it's me."
"Oh, Miss Miyabi. What is it?"
"You don't have to be so formal. Just call me Miyabi. I wanted to ask, are you at Taixu Mountain right now?"
"No, I'm getting ready to go back. I'm at the house in the city center at the moment."
"Is that so? All right, I'm coming to see you now."
The call ended.
Ten seconds later.
There came a knock at the door.
Knock, knock, knock--
"Teacher, I'm here."
Fu Hua put down her toothbrush, walked out, and opened the door.
"That was fast."
"Isn't it because I couldn't wait to cultivate with Teacher?"
"After practicing with you last time, I couldn't find that feeling again until today."
"Teacher, only you can satisfy me!"
Hoshimi Miyabi's calm voice rang out.
At that very moment, a black hole flickered nearby.
Herrscher of Reason and Li Sushang rolled out of it.
At that very moment, Little Herrscher heard every word clearly, along with what she saw before her.
Some black-furred fox was holding Fu Hua's hand and saying something like that.
Herrscher of Reason instantly snapped.
Having lost Fu Hua for several months, then receiving such a shock the moment they reunited,
she didn't care that Li Sushang was beneath her like a cushion. She sprang to her feet.
She grabbed Fu Hua and pulled her aside, then bared her teeth at Hoshimi Miyabi like a dog guarding its food.
"You damn fox, Old Fossil is mine!!!!!!"
