Collapse, I'll Transform and Punch You Directly

Instinct told him that ability wasn't gender-specific, but unfortunately, he could only interact with Valkyries right now.

As he conversed with the others, Bai Chen relaxed his guard and no longer hid.

After Bai Chen's transformation ended, as time passed, the other members of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers gradually returned to the apartment.

"Hmm? What's that smell? Is Chijie cooking?"

As soon as Su entered, he smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen. Only Chijie could create such a fiery scent that filled the entire apartment.

Su hadn't returned for two days because something had happened at the hospital, and he'd practically been living there. He hadn't expected to find Chijie cooking today. He hoped he could stomach it tonight.

"Such a commotion. It seems Chijie caught a big fish today. Yesterday, Chijie and Kevin agreed to go fishing together. But you weren't here then, so you probably didn't know."

Sakura, standing beside Su, chuckled and replied.

"Sakura!!!"

The moment Kallen saw Sakura, her radar instantly lit up.

"Is there a Sakura in this world too?"

Kallen hadn't expected to meet anyone familiar here. After all, she'd heard from Fu Hua that the people here might not know her, so they shouldn't recognize her.

"Uh... this Sakura isn't that Sakura," Bai Chen explained in his mind.

"No, Kevin told me via phone that you also caught something big today, didn't you?" Su asked, looking curiously at Kevin, whose eyes were fixed on the kitchen, as if questioning why Kevin wasn't in the kitchen preparing his catch.

"Hahaha, although Boss Kevin caught something big, it wasn't edible."

Pardo couldn't stop laughing. Little did anyone know how much she'd laughed when she learned Kevin had caught a Honkai Beast and then angrily branded it onto a cloth.

Kevin's face darkened as he was exposed. Seeing that cloth frozen into ice shards, the last evidence of the Honkai Beast's existence in this world was gone, leaving only its 158 kilograms weighing on Kevin's mind.

Finally, Kevin struggled, "Actually, Honkai Beasts can be eaten occasionally."

"No, no, no! A normal person would die after one bite! It's just that we're special," Su, as a doctor, had to immediately interrupt Kevin's nonsensical talk.

Afterward, Cosmo, Aponia, Eden, and others also returned from outside one after another.

"Hey, is that her?" Kallen and Ji Lin conversed within Bai Chen's body.

"Yes, yes, I wouldn't mistake her." Ji Lin's sharp gaze fixed on a familiar figure in the crowd.

"It's Fu Hua!" *2

The two shouted in unison.

Although Fu Hua wasn't familiar with the people here at first, seeing Fu Hua among these people felt different.

"Is that... me in this world?" Seeing another Fu Hua before her confirmed she was indeed one of them. But when did they know each other? Was it during the time they were protecting Shenzhou? She did recall a group of people gathering around during that period.

The other "Fu Hua" glanced in Bai Chen's direction as she entered, as if something about Bai Chen had attracted her attention.

Chapter 61: Daily Life 2

"Okay, we'll proceed with Elysia's decision."

As Eden and Elysia conversed, Bai Chen and Seele's accommodation for the night was settled.

Fu Hua then found an opportunity to speak with Bai Chen alone.

"Why do you have a feather from Feathered Dust on you?" Fu Hua directly asked what was on her mind. To the owner of Feathered Dust, the feather on Bai Chen was as conspicuous as a beacon in the dark.

"Uh..." Bai Chen thought that since he was leaving this world tomorrow, there was no need to hide it any longer.

"Do you want to share?" Bai Chen asked Fu Hua in his mind, as this was her matter after all.

"Yes, I'm also curious about what's happening in this world." Fu Hua nodded in agreement to Bai Chen's request. She also wanted to know the true relationship between herself and those familiar people in this world.

"Since that's the case, shall we share? Isn't that the fastest way?" Bai Chen extended his hand and grasped Fu Hua's. Soon, Fu Hua's Feathered Dust established a connection with the feather within Bai Chen.

Fu Hua and Fu Hua then entered a world that belonged only to the two of them.

Looking at Fu Hua's figure up close... it seemed she really hadn't developed in fifty thousand years.

In this world, Fu Hua inexplicably felt a chill down her spine, as if someone were behind her.

"So there's another world? It's a shame my memories aren't complete. I wonder what our ending was in that world."

After the communication, Hua couldn't help but sigh. Compared to that world, this one was practically peaceful.

Fu Hua also fell silent. This world was like a game! In her original world, Otto was actually the boss of a company that primarily operated celebrities!

The most famous girl group under him was called the Herrscher Heavenly Group, and their most famous active member was a young beautiful girl who had been active for over thirty years. She was the childhood idol of an entire generation!

The principal of St. Freya wasn't Theresa, but Cecilia who had sacrificed herself in the original world!

There were all sorts of absurd things happening; the entire world was just unreasonable.

In Hua's memory, they didn't know when they had gained the ability of an Ember Warrior. It was as if it had been deliberately blurred, but no one had ever paid attention to it.

Bai Chen was unaware of the impending influence of the world bubble, as much information was lost due to the world's imminent dissipation.

After a brief moment of emotion, Hua also let down her guard. Through the feather, she completely understood what kind of person Bai Chen was.

"Hey! Kevin! This stove isn't big enough!"

Chijie's unique, high-pitched voice came from the kitchen.

"The stove isn't big enough? Then why did you ask me to do it?"

Kevin, called to the kitchen by Chijie, found it rather inexplicable.

"Where's your Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment?"

Chijie reached out and gestured towards Kevin.

"You want that? My junior borrowed it a few days ago."

Kevin continued after a pause.

"It seems their kitchen exploded, so they can only use that thing to start a fire for a few days."

"Your junior? That's not strange. Kaslana, you're the only one who can enter the kitchen."

Chijie was initially furious about the Heavenly Fire being borrowed, but upon hearing that Kevin's junior had blown up their home, she immediately found it reasonable.

"What do you mean? What do you mean! I'll sue you for slander!"

Kallen immediately became agitated when someone questioned the strength of their Kaslana family. Being able to make delicious food that would make Sakura smile and sleep soundly!

Is that it? Bai Chen felt a bit ashamed. Fortunately, when he lent his body to Kallen for relaxation, he didn't let Kallen enter the kitchen. Otherwise, Otto would have discovered the next day that all his planned targets had died from poisoning.

"You're Bai Chen, right? I'm Griseo's brother, Cosmo."

Cosmo, seeing Bai Chen finish talking with Hua, brought Griseo forward to greet him.

"Cosmo, Bai Chen won't transform with a 'whoosh' like in the TV shows!"

Griseo pointed at the purple wristband on Bai Chen's hand. It seemed this child had also been misled by Bai Chen's actions, mistaking the casing on his hand for transformation joints.

"Really?"

Cosmo's emotions clearly heightened.

"It's more than that, you know?"

Bai Chen winked and smiled. Wasn't the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment taken away just now? But there were two types of Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment.

[Drive: Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment]

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Chen struck a cool pose and then forcefully inserted a purple card into the wristband.

Following that, Bai Chen pulled a ball of raging fire from a blur of shadows. As the flames dispersed, a greatsword that flowed like fire was revealed.

"What?! Kevin?!"

Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of everyone in the hall. Seeing the fiery greatsword in Bai Chen's hand, they all fell silent.

For a moment, the hall was terrifyingly quiet. If not for Chijie's stir-frying sounds coming from the kitchen, Bai Chen would have thought time had stopped.

"Cool."

After a long while, Cosmo finally managed to utter this sentence, unsure if it was the greatsword that was cool, or the act of summoning the sword itself that was cool.

"Elysia, where did you find this child? They can even do things like this?"

Eden noticed the absurdity of this child. The temperature of the flames just now proved that the weapon Bai Chen held in his hand was definitely not a cheap imitation.

"I don't know either? You can do things like this?"

Elysia covered her small mouth, also a little surprised. So it wasn't just about transforming? It felt a bit like watching a tokusatsu hero? Except without the armor.

If Bai Chen can transform into a beautiful girl, then isn't he actually a Pretty Cure? Or a magical girl?

Elysia thought with a bit of mischievousness in her heart.

If Bai Chen knew what she was thinking, he would definitely sternly correct her again... I can transform into more than just a beautiful girl!

But Bai Chen couldn't possibly know Elysia's thoughts. At this moment, he was carrying the greatsword in his hand and rushing towards the kitchen.

"Brother Jie, you can use this!"

"Oh? You're here? Isn't Kevin with his junior?"

"No, not mine. But, it makes no difference."

Kevin only touched the sword to confirm its strength.

"Alright, kid, can you control fire?"

Chijie asked Bai Chen as he dished out the food from the pot.

"Control fire? No problem."

Bai Chen stated that while playing with fire couldn't compare to the two in front of him, his abilities were still related to flames. Controlling fire to cook a meal was naturally no problem, especially with Mei's memories in his mind.

"Hahaha! Good! Kid, come help me, and I'll give you an extra portion tonight! Hahaha! Cough, cough, cough!"

Chijie laughed heartily, raising the spatula in his hand, then choked on his own saliva from the exertion.

If Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment had consciousness, it would surely be thinking— This is what? Handing me over to stir-fry a meal for you all? The former Herrscher of Flames would be furious!

Chapter 62: Preparing to Leave

After the fiery and busy preparations, our protagonist and Chijie successfully finished preparing the delicious dishes.

The reason Chijie needed the Heavenly Fire Greatsword was to process the large fish he had caught!

But Chijie cherished it today. For this fish, Chijie had practically scoured every inhabited area nearby, causing him to return home two hours later than expected.

Under Chijie's guidance, they successfully completed a roasted fish that looked incredibly appetizing.

Actually, Bai Chen noticed something: Chijie's cooking seemed to lean towards heavy oil and heavy spice, while Mei's preference was for home-style cooking and desserts.

Each had their own specialty, right? He wondered about Rita's cooking skills too. After all, her character profile indicated she was also skilled in cooking.

As they brought the dishes to the table, they found everyone gathered in the main hall. Even Vill-V and Mobius had returned at some point.

"Wow? I've never seen such a big fish myself before."
