Fu Hua's mind hadn't caught up with the sudden turn of events.
"Little Herrscher… how could you–"
"Old Fossil! Do you know how I've been these past few months you've been gone?"
"Is disappearing fun?"
Hoshimi Miyabi, standing in front, was a bit bewildered but said nothing, just watching quietly.
Meanwhile, Sushang, who had finally regained her senses, got up from the floor.
"Two Ancestral Masters, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding. Why don't you two sit down and talk?"
"Mm, Sushang is right. Little Herrscher, why don't we talk first?"
Looking at the Herrscher of Reason in her arms, Fu Hua found herself in a bit of a bind. She could only pat the other's head and say, Nodding, the Herrscher of Reason was led back to the bedroom by Fu Hua.
"Sushang, you entertain Miyabi for now."
"Yes, Ancestral Master."
"Hello, Miss Miyabi. I am Li Sushang, the eldest disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect."
"Hello, I am Hoshimi Miyabi, Section Chief of the Special Operations Department Six for Void Affairs."
"Well then, Miss Miyabi, shall we sit down for now?"
"Okay."
Sushang and Hoshimi Miyabi walked over to the sofas in the living room and sat down.
Looking at the girl in front of her, who was glancing around, Hoshimi Miyabi was a little confused.
Wait, why do you seem more like the guest?
Noticing the other's expression, Li Sushang quickly gave a wry smile.
"My apologies, my apologies. This is also my first time visiting the home where Ancestral Master Chi Yuan currently resides."
"I see. Understood."
The two fell silent for a while.
"Excuse me, is Ancestral Master Chi Yuan referring to Teacher Fu Hua?"
"Mm, that's right. My mother is a disciple of the Ancestral Master. I learned martial arts from my mother since I was young, so naturally, I must call her Ancestral Master."
"I see. I can feel that you are very powerful. Would you like to spar?"
As she spoke, Miyabi raised the Demon Blade she held in her hand.
"Sparring? While I'd be happy to, shouldn't we wait until the Ancestral Masters' matter is resolved? What do you think?"
"Mm, that's fine."
"So, Miss Miyabi, where is this place?"
Hearing this, Hoshimi Miyabi tilted her head slightly.
"……This is New Eridu, Duli Haoting in the second district, downtown."
"New Eridu? I've never heard that name before."
This time, it was Hoshimi Miyabi's turn to be surprised.
In the bedroom, Fu Hua looked at Little Herrscher leaning on her shoulder.
"You're saying that after Welt disappeared, I disappeared too?"
"Yeah! At that time, I searched the entire Earth and couldn't find you!"
As she spoke, the Herrscher of Reason pouted and lightly punched Fu Hua's thigh.
Moving her gaze upwards, the Herrscher of Reason's eyes widened as she saw the size of Fu Hua's chest.
She stared, dumbfounded.
Fu Hua, on the other hand, frowned.
Am I really Fu Hua? Then what were those previous memories…
[Ding! Detected host's confusion. Due to Fu Hua's unique nature, to avoid creating chaos upon entering this world.]
[Therefore, a medium must first be created to act as a smokescreen.]
"So, that's how it is."
"What are you talking about, Old Fossil! What are you chatting with this screen for?!"
"You can see it too?"
"Of course! This thing brought me here. By the way, where is that old guy Welt?"
"Mm, I don't know if Mr. Welt has arrived in this world."
"Is that so. Old Fossil, did you… get bigger? Why is it bigger here?"
Speaking, the Herrscher of Reason even reached in and felt it.
"What's going on, it's real? What did you eat to get so big!"
Fu Hua's face first turned red, then gradually darkened.
She punched the Herrscher of Reason on the head.
Getting up, she moved further away from the other party.
"Stop messing around, Little Herrscher, this is... this is me powering up in the later stages."
"Waaah... What do you mean powering up in the later stages? Don't lie to me. You haven't changed at all in all these years.
You've grown like this in just a few months here!"
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Maybe the title just changed!
"Alright, let's drop this topic. We have guests outside."
"Guests? You mean that black-haired Fox Spirit? Old Fossil, what did you do with her!!"
Seeing Fu Hua get up to leave, the Herrscher of Reason immediately stepped forward and pulled her back onto the bed.
"Why are you so agitated? I didn't want to, but she was too forward. There was nothing I could do."
With her hands on Fu Hua's shoulders, the Herrscher of Reason shook her violently.
"Old Fossil, how could you do this!!"
"Stop, stop, stop, Little Herrscher, don't shake me. We just exchanged pointers on martial arts and sparred, right?
Why are you so worked up?"
"Huh..."
The Herrscher of Reason stopped moving, the anger fading from her face.
"Spar, sparred?"
"Yeah, what else could we do? Or were you thinking of something else?"
Hearing this, the Herrscher of Reason quickly got up, clasping her hands behind her head, and retorted.
"No way, I was just excited. You know, you left without saying goodbye."
Sitting up, Fu Hua tidied her clothes.
"Yes, it was my fault. I'll take you out for some good food later."
"It's not something a meal or two can make up for. You'll have to compensate me properly."
"Okay... You can ask for anything I can do. Alright?"
"That's more like it. I'll forgive you for now.
By the way, where is this place? How is it different from where we were?"
Jumping up, the Herrscher of Reason went to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance.
"Old Fossil, what is that dark ball?"
"Void. You can think of it as a disaster.
The space inside is chaotic, and it constantly generates monsters similar to Honkai Beasts."
"Oh~ Sounds interesting!"
"However, those monsters dissipate once they leave the Void."
"Tch, so that's all it is."
"Alright, Little Herrscher, let's go out. Miss Miyabi is still waiting."
"Oh~"
Following Fu Hua out of the bedroom and into the living room.
"Ancestral Master, are your matters resolved?"
"Yes, we're preparing to return to Taixu Mountain soon. If you have free time, you can accompany Miss Miyabi on her trial."
"Mm, okay, Teacher Fu Hua."
"This one... is."
"Mm, she's like my sister. You can call her Herrscher of Reason."
"Understood, Miss Herrscher of Reason."
Standing behind Fu Hua, Little Herrscher poked her head out and snorted.
This Ms. Herrscher of Reason seems to have a lot of hostility towards me.
I haven't done anything to make her dislike me. Why is that?
Hoshimi Miyabi wondered.
"Little Herrscher, that's very impolite. Say hello properly."
"Tch, got it. Hello, my name is Herrscher of Reason, though you can call me 'Lord Herrscher of Reason'!"
"I understand, Lord Herrscher of Reason."
Hoshimi Miyabi responded without hesitation.
"Mhm, you're pretty good, kid. Call me that from now on."
She reached out and gently tapped the Herrscher of Reason on the head.
"Don't mind her, Miyabi. Just call her Little Herrscher."
"Mhm, it's fine. I don't care about what I'm called."
Grumble~
A stomach growled, and the three of them looked at Li Sushang behind them.
"Ahaha, sorry, Ancestral Master and Miss Miyabi, I'm a bit hungry."
"Then what are we waiting for! Old Fossil, hurry up and take me and my grand-disciple to breakfast!!"
"Mhm, okay."
The group went downstairs and headed to a nearby restaurant.
After breakfast, on the street.
The Herrscher of Reason, like a child, was wandering around with Fu Hua's bank card.
Behind her was her personal handbag, Li Sushang.
"Quick, Little Sushang, this one looks nice~ Wrap it up~"
"Whoa, whoa, slow down, Ancestral Master. I'm already carrying too much, I can barely hold it all."
