The whole thing had happened so suddenly that Fu Hua's mind had yet to catch up.

"Little Herrscher... how did you—"

"Old Fossil! Do you know how I spent the past few months after you disappeared?"

"Was it fun, playing disappearing acts?"

Hoshimi Miyabi, who stood ahead of them, looked somewhat bewildered, but she said nothing and merely watched in silence.

Meanwhile, Sushang, who had finally come to her senses, climbed up from the floor.

"Ancestral Masters, please calm down first. There must be some misunderstanding. Why don't you two sit down and talk it out?"

"Mm, Sushang is right. Little Herrscher, how about we talk first?"

Looking at the Herrscher of Reason in her arms, Fu Hua found herself in a difficult position. She could only pat her head and say this.

Nodding, the Herrscher of Reason followed Fu Hua back into the bedroom.

"Sushang, entertain Miyabi for now."

"Yes, Ancestral Master."

"Hello, Miss Miyabi. I am Li Sushang, the Supreme Freedom Sect's chief disciple."

"Hello. Hoshimi Miyabi, Section Chief of Section 6 of the Hollow Affairs Special Operations Department."

"Then, Miss Miyabi, shall we sit down for the moment?"

"Alright."

Sushang and Hoshimi Miyabi went to sit on the sofas in the living room.

Watching the girl before her look around in every direction, Hoshimi Miyabi felt rather confused.

No, why did she look more like the guest?

Noticing her expression, Li Sushang hurriedly gave an awkward laugh.

"Sorry, sorry. This is also my first time visiting the home where Ancestral Master Chi Yuan currently lives."

"I see. Understood."

The two remained silent for quite a while.

"May I ask, is Ancestral Master Chi Yuan referring to Teacher Fu Hua?"

"Mm, that's right. My mother was Ancestral Master's disciple, and I learned martial arts from my mother since childhood, so naturally I call her Ancestral Master."

"I see. I can sense that you are very powerful. Would you like to spar?"

As she spoke, Miyabi raised the demon blade in her hand.

"A martial arts spar? I would be happy to, but we should wait until the two Ancestral Masters settle their matters first. What do you think?"

"Mm, that works."

"So, Miss Miyabi, where is this place?"

At that, Hoshimi Miyabi tilted her head slightly.

"...This is New Eridu, Duli Haoting in District Two of the city center."

"New Eridu? I've never heard that name before."

This time, it was Hoshimi Miyabi's turn to be surprised.

Inside the bedroom, Fu Hua looked at Little Herrscher, who was leaning against her shoulder.

"You're saying that after Welt disappeared, I vanished along with him?"

"Yeah! I circled the entire Earth looking for you, but I still couldn't find you!"

As she spoke, the Herrscher of Reason pouted and punched Fu Hua's thigh.

Her gaze moved upward, and when the Herrscher of Reason saw the size of Fu Hua's chest, she froze.

Her eyes widened as she fell into a daze.

Fu Hua, on the other hand, frowned.

Am I really Fu Hua? Then those previous memories were...

[Ding! Detecting the host's confusion. Due to Fu Hua's unique nature, when intervening in this world, in order to avoid creating confusion. It was necessary to first create a medium to serve as a smokescreen.]

"I see."

"What is it, Old Fossil?! Who are you talking to through that screen?!"

"You can see it too?"

"Of course. That thing is what brought me here. Oh, right, where's that old bastard Welt?"

"Mm, I don't know whether Mr. Welt came to this world."

"Is that so? Old Fossil, did you pad them? Why did they get bigger here?"

As she spoke, the Herrscher of Reason reached in and gave them a squeeze.

"What the heck, they're real! What did you eat to get this big?"

Fu Hua's face first reddened, then gradually darkened.

She punched the Herrscher of Reason on the head.

Then she stood up and moved farther away from her.

"Stop fooling around, Little Herrscher. This is... this is late growth."

"Ugh... What late growth? Don't lie to me. It's been so many years, and I've never seen any changes.

Yet after coming here for just a few months, they grew this much!"

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. It might have simply been renamed!

"Enough, let's stop this topic here. There are 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 getting so worked up? I didn't want to do it either, but she was too proactive. I couldn't do anything about it."

Bracing both hands against Fu Hua's shoulders, the Herrscher of Reason shook her wildly.

"Old Fossil, how could you do this?!"

"Stop, stop, stop, Little Herrscher, quit shaking me. Didn't I just give her some pointers on martial arts and spar with her?

Why are you so worked up?"

"Huh..."

The Herrscher of Reason stopped moving, and the anger on her face faded away.

"S-Spar?"

"Yeah. What else could we have done? Or were you thinking about something indecent?"

Hearing that, the Herrscher of Reason hurriedly got up, clasped her hands behind her head, and tried to defend herself.

"Of course not. I was just... excited, okay? You left without saying goodbye."

Sitting up, Fu Hua straightened her clothes.

"Mm, it was my fault. I'll take you out for some good food later."

"A meal or two won't be enough to brush me off. You'll have to compensate me properly."

"Mm... Ask for anything I can do. Alright?"

"Now that's more like it. I'll forgive you for now.

By the way, where is this place? How is it different from our side?"

Jumping to her feet, the Herrscher of Reason walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance.

"Old Fossil, what's that pitch-black ball?"

"A Hollow. You can think of it as a kind of disaster.

The space inside is unstable, and it constantly creates monsters similar to Honkai Beasts."

"Oh~ Sounds pretty interesting!"

"However, those monsters dissipate once they leave the Hollow."

"Tch, so that's all."

"Alright, Little Herrscher, let's go out. Miss Miyabi is still waiting."

"Oh~"

Following Fu Hua out of the bedroom, she entered the living room.

"Ancestral Master, have you resolved your matters?"

"Mm. We're preparing to return to Taixu Mountain later. If you have time, you can come along for Miss Miyabi's trial."

"Mm, alright, Teacher Fu Hua."

"This is...?"

"Mm, she can be considered my little sister. You can call her the Herrscher of Reason."

"Understood, Ms. Herrscher of Reason."

Standing behind Fu Hua, Little Herrscher poked her head out and gave a soft snort.

This Ms. Herrscher of Reason seems very hostile toward me.

I have not done anything to make her dislike me. Why is that?

Hoshimi Miyabi was puzzled.

"Little Herrscher, that's very rude. Greet her properly."

"Tch, got it. Hello, I'm the Herrscher of Reason. Of course, you may call me Herrscher of Reason Lord!"

"Understood, Herrscher of Reason Lord."

Without even a moment's hesitation, Hoshimi Miyabi said the latter part.

"Mm, you're not bad. Call me that from now on."

Fu Hua reached out and lightly knocked the Herrscher of Reason on the head.

"Don't mind her, Miyabi. Just call her Little Herrscher."

"Mm, it's fine. I do not mind how I am addressed."

Grrr~

The sound of a growling stomach rang out, and the three looked toward Li Sushang behind them.

"Ahaha, sorry, Ancestral Master and Miss Miyabi. I'm a little hungry."

"Then what are we waiting for?! Old Fossil, hurry up and take me and your grand-disciple to breakfast!!"

"Mm, alright."

The group went downstairs and headed to a nearby restaurant.

After breakfast, on the street.

Like a child, the Herrscher of Reason wandered everywhere with Fu Hua's bank card in hand.

Behind her was her personal handbag, Li Sushang.

"Quick, Little Sushang, this one's pretty nice~ Wrap it up~"

"Hey, hey, slow down, Ancestral Master. I'm carrying too much stuff already. I can barely hold it all."
