Galaxy Power - Ge Xiaolun

Liu Chuang, the Nuo Star God of War

Sun's Radiance - Lena

On a tiny Earth, the genes of three great gods suddenly came together, along with people from other star systems, making it an extraordinary spectacle.

Earth seems to be more than just a simple Earth.

The power of cause and effect is absolutely undeniable.

Fu Hua had a vague feeling that something that could change the entire universe was about to happen here, sooner or later.

With her eyes lowered, long eyelashes concealed the thoughts in them. Her lowered brows concealed her sharpness, revealing a gentle fragility that could be described as pitiful. But when she opened her eyes again, she would surely reveal her sharpness and look down upon the world with pride.

A person who can subtly display both gentleness and strength is both dangerous and reassuring.

"This is not the time to talk about these things, my motherland is being invaded!"

Angel Yan remained silent, but Fu Hua spoke again.

"Since they have a purpose, they won't start a war prematurely; you still have time."

"We're already a month too late, no, half a month too late. Even if we force it now, it might still be too late..." Lena hesitated, her gaze fixed on Fu Hua.

Fu Hua understands, Angel Yan understands too.

It's nothing more than asking her for help.

But she won't

Fu Hua was able to witness the fighting and bloodshed among the creatures in the Taixu Realm, so how could she rashly intervene in Earth's war because of a single sentence from Lena?

Once cause and effect are intertwined, they are very difficult to untangle.

However, the fact that China has evolved to this point is indeed partly due to her influence.

"Xiao Xuan"

"Hey! Oh, I got it! Come on, let's pick a weapon! Little Xuan's Shop has everything, good quality and low prices, honest and fair to all."

As she spoke, she leaped into the air and hovered there. As she took flight, a scroll unfurled behind her. The white paper was covered in ink, depicting something that the Xiong Bing Lian couldn't understand. However, the objects that appeared on the scroll after it was unfurled were very familiar to them.

Weapons, real weapons

The expressions on everyone's faces immediately changed, becoming somewhat strange.

Imagine an ancient person suddenly pulling out a modern firearm and starting to fire in front of you—the scene... wouldn't be too wonderful?

All that's missing is a "fuck!" to express my feelings.

Everyone fell silent.

But our little Xuan was excited; he could finally collect money!

Looking at the Book of Cang Xuan, now completely obsessed with money, Fu Hua fell silent once again.

Sure enough, there was a problem with Xiao Xuan's program.

I've never seen her so greedy before, except for being a bit gluttonous. But seeing her this time, she seems just like Cang Xuan himself.

"Why!"

He let out a barely perceptible sigh, watching the Book of Cang Xuan converse with the members of the Xiong Bing Lian. The conversation was nothing more than haggling, since the weapons stored in the Book of Cang Xuan were far too advanced for the current technology of this world.

The use of energy, the transformation of machinery, and the various weapon achievements—weapons capable of fighting against the Honkai —are more than capable of dealing with mere creatures.

However, instead of directly selling weapons, they offer low-end weapon data. With that data, surely a research team capable of studying genes could develop a small weapon.

However, this technical data is a bit expensive.

"I'm curious, where did you all come from?" Angel Yan's voice sounded from behind, deep and husky, with an inherent allure.

By gently tilting my ear, I could almost feel her breath.

Fu Hua glanced over and saw that Angel Yan was indeed standing less than half a head behind her, in a slightly misaligned position, making it seem as if she were leaning down to whisper in someone's ear.

By the way, Fu Hua isn't as tall as her.

But Fu Hua isn't backing down; after all, the opponent can't beat her.

"Curiosity killed the cat."

"A cat? Are you mocking my lack of ability?"

When idle, it's as lazy as an orange cat; when fighting, it's as sharp as a black cat.

Describing Angel Yan as a cat is quite apt.

But now, this cat is showing its sharp claws to Fu Hua, and it's scratching her horribly.

"This is a fact."

With a few casual words, Fu Hua dispelled Angel Yan's sharpness, and continued to look ahead (to Xiao Xuan).

The Angel Yan used the word "accompany" in the phrase "accompany me back to the Merlo Heavenly Court."

It's not about following, nor is it about going with the flow.

The tone of these two is relatively strong, with the meaning of command, but the word "accompany" is an invisible show of weakness.

When one is weaker than others, feigning weakness can also be a tactic.

Moreover, for someone who has no ill intentions and even harbors a slight liking for you...

Are you so sure I'll help you?

"You will, even if I don't tell you, you will." Angel Yan stood firm; she knew this person would definitely want to go to the angels' headquarters— the Merlo Heavenly Court.

Not for anything else, but for one person.

Since that person was able to keep Ji Lin, they must also have a way to help her find Danzhu and Cang Xuan, as long as they can find her.

Angel Yan understood this, which is why she could be so certain.

A person who values relationships and keeps their promises will never let go of even the slightest possible opportunity.

Fu Hua did not answer, but she did not refuse either. Angel Yan understood that she had tacitly agreed.

In this situation, Yan needs to return to temporarily assume the throne of the Angel King and stabilize the order of the Angel Clan. Naturally, there will be resistance. After their permission was intercepted, the only ones who received orders were the warriors who were with Kaisha at the time.

The older generation of angels stationed in the Merlo Heavenly Court were unaware of this order, and even with the proof of other warriors, there were many troubles in getting crowned.

Although Fu Hua is an outsider, Yan doesn't have any quick way to stabilize the situation at this moment, and Fu Hua is someone she trusts quite a bit.

Strong, trustworthy, and would never betray.

Most importantly, the incident happened so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard.

No one knows exactly when Keisha made the agreement with that person. Perhaps the Heavenly King He Xi, who was stationed in the Heavenly Court of Merlo, knew something, or perhaps he didn't know at all.

Everything will only become clear when the Merlo Heavenly Court arrives.

Fu Hua's conversation with Angel Yan came to an end, while the negotiations between the Book of Cang Xuan and the Xiong Bing Lian were also nearing their conclusion, mainly consisting of Lena's discussion with the Book of Cang Xuan.

"These technologies are very useful to Earth for now. Let's improve our weapons and defense capabilities first. After that, the future wars will depend on us, the big players."

In short, the arduous bargaining journey came to an end. Only Lena, who had truly faced the Book of Cang Xuan, knew just how difficult it was to acquire these technologies from her.

This is completely obsessed with money. They don't want paper money, they only want virtual currency. In the current environment, virtual currency is useless, although paper money is almost the same.

"What do you know! Paper money is truly worthless to us. Fu Hua and I can't stay in this world for long. With virtual currency, at least we'll have basic living security when we go to other worlds. We can hack into the system of that world, and this virtual currency can be converted into our source of living supplies."

What you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it.

Lena listened blankly to the explanation of the Book of Cang Xuan, which seemed to contain a dangerous idea.

But the Book of Cang Xuan didn't care about Lena's dazed expression and continued speaking to itself.

"I also have to take care of Fu Hua's daily life, so everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation can't be neglected, especially food. With her kind of physical exertion, her nutrition must keep up. Look at her now, she's lost weight."

Fu Hua, who was watching her concealment, was speechless.

To say she's thin is an understatement; she's only slender and appears thin. In reality, her figure is very well-proportioned. The muscle distribution of martial artists is aesthetically pleasing. Unlike men's clearly defined muscles, some women's muscles are soft, yet beneath this softness lies terrifying power.

Fu Hua has a golden ratio figure, and her skin is as delicate and fair as a young girl's. Even her hands, which she has practiced boxing for many years, are fair and tender, making her look nothing like a martial artist.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a noblewoman.

Most importantly, she is very healthy and shows no signs of malnutrition.

With the nourishment of Qi, how could one possibly be malnourished?

Qi is divided into innate and acquired, and what Fu Hua cultivated was innate Qi, just like a baby in its mother's womb, so how could it lack nutrition?

After glancing at the unbelievably healthy Fu Hua and then at the oblivious Book of Cang Xuan, Lena and the rest of the Xiong Bing Lian remained silent.

Regardless of the situation, remaining silent is the best course of action.

"If I don't fatten her up a bit, how will we see her gentle side? She's always fighting and killing, she's practically a tomboy, she has no femininity at all."

Snap! A dark shadow appeared on Fu Hua's forehead.

"Although he's got maximum boyfriend potential, he already has my master and Lord Danzhu, oh~ and Ji Lin. Other women are out of the question; it's not good to be fickle."

Slap! Slap!

"Oh! You have no idea how much I've worried about Fu Hua. She's still not married and is already considered an old maid. Do you even know how old she is now?"

Clap clap clap!

The faces of the members of the Xiong Bing Lian changed drastically, and they shook their heads frantically.

Unfortunately, the Book of Cang Xuan seemed oblivious to this and continued speaking.

"Counting all these years, she's already fifty..."

"Cang~Xiao~Xuan!"

Click! It sounded like something breaking, the sound of reason about to crumble.

Only now did Book of Cang Xuan belatedly turn her small head, her neck stiff as a rusty gear, to look at some black, unidentified object behind her, from which a chilling sound was emanating.

"Fu... Fu... Fu Hua... Lord Fu Hua..."

"They seem to be having a good chat," Fu Hua said, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes dangerous.

"No... no," Cang Xiaoxuan stammered, tears welling in her eyes, her body trembling. Feeling the warmth on her head, she froze, unable to move.

Imagine having a hand that could tear apart Honkai Beast and then placing it on your head—that feeling is truly exhilarating.

"I think it's necessary to restart your program to see if it's infected with a virus."

"No... no need," Cang Xiaoxuan said with a forced smile.

It's like saying, "I think it can still be salvaged."

But that smile was somewhat tragic, making me feel sorry for her.

Fu Hua gently stroked the top of the Book of Cang Xuan with her hand, the movement soft and without a trace of sharpness, and then added a sentence.

"Check it carefully," he said, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"...Hmm, I know!" Book of Cang Xuan said with a sullen smile, his body swaying in the air with the scroll, a hint of joy in his expression.

There was no embarrassment at all about being exposed.

Fu Hua felt a warmth in her heart. How could she not understand the purpose of the Book of Cang Xuan? But things were different now, and she was no longer the person she used to be. She didn't need to go to such lengths.

But Fu Hua's words were true; the Book of Cang Xuan really needed to be examined carefully. It had become somewhat gossipy and even a bit cunning.

If this continues for too long, she'll eventually find it unbearable.

No, anyone would find this unbearable, having their dirty secrets exposed every day.

I really admire my past self!

Fu Hua felt a pang of sympathy.

"Since it's over, then let's part ways here." Fu Hua clasped his hands in a fist salute, a basic courtesy for martial artists.

Although there are few martial artists in the Xiong Bing Lian, it doesn't diminish their respect for Fu Hua.

So they followed suit and returned the gift, only in a somewhat unusual way.

"Fu Hua... Immortal, are you really not going to consider it anymore?" Lena made her last attempt to explain.

She still really hoped the other party could help them.

"The cause and effect have been cleared; perhaps we will meet again in the future."

How the battle on Earth unfolds is no longer Fu Hua's concern. Her mistakes have been made up for, and now it's up to them to decide.

Meanwhile, Fu Hua, who had left Earth, was returning to Angel City— Merlo Heavenly Court —with Angel Yan and others.

P. S.: Happy Dragon Boat Festival! This pigeon needs to work harder, although I still haven't found the motivation to write a book.

I started out of interest, and I will end out of interest, so I need to adjust my attitude, otherwise I definitely won't be able to continue writing the book. I need to find my motivation for writing again.
