Su Mei continued to laugh.

Chapter 314 The Second Luster Lin Chaoyu

The conversation between Su Mei and Lin Chaoyu revealed to the audience that Su Mei had planned the murder of her master, which was also the result of her gathering the other six swordsmen of her sect back then. Even after learning that Fu Hua was not dead, she still wanted to kill her master again.

"Can we get Otto to go and kill them right now?"

"Never before have I so desperately wanted Otto to scheme against others. These wicked disciples have made me realize for the first time how important Otto's existence is."

The audience was filled with righteous indignation.

Su Mei's beautiful face looked increasingly disgusting to them, especially after hearing her words, "I have no regrets about killing my master."

How could she say that?!

Sirin was stunned.

"Could Su Mei be trying to obtain Fu Hua's immortality?"

"She doesn't deserve it?!"

Immortality, eternal youth, and immortality.

In their view, it could indeed be a motivation, but Fu Hua's immortality was for the purpose of protecting human civilization, fighting against the Honkai, and battling the Finality on the moon.

Nowadays, if someone were to greedily try to seize Fu Hua's immortality, they would be condemned by the audience, regardless of their motives or their level of awareness.

"Therefore, as a leader, Otto is indeed indispensable. Putting aside the evil deeds he has done, he has indeed protected civilization for 500 years under the threat of Honkai."

Mei sighed.

"His crimes are too numerous to count, but his achievements will live on forever."

Yaqing nodded slightly.

[The scene shifts.]

Otto and Li Sushang were in the desert, in the stillness of the night.

"Hey... why are you looking for an immortal?"

"I once saw a celestial being."

Li Sushang didn't believe for a second that this Rakshasa man had actually seen an immortal. Despite her disbelief, she was still curious, and Otto began to tell her story from 20 years ago.

To help Li Sushang understand better, Otto transformed the conventional terms into terms with a strong Shenzhou flavor, without any concealment, even revealing the three Divine Key of Schicksal.

In short, the Schicksal Church became arrogant and decided to launch an eastern expedition, only to be utterly defeated by the immortals.

"From Otto's words, it doesn't sound like a martial arts contest; it sounds more like an invasion. Calling it a martial arts contest is probably just to leave a good impression on Sushang." Mei pinched her chin.

"It's all over, it's all over, it's all over." Little Knowledge heard Sushang's inner thoughts in the web series and became curious about Otto, even wondering if he was married. Little Knowledge knew that things were doomed.

"Old fogey, look, Changchang is about to be fooled."

Little Knowledge pointed at the TV screen.

And on the screen, Li Sushang's lines were being played.

"Sigh... Master, could you keep him for a few more days?"

Little Knowledge felt as if he had been hit by a critical strike.

"Little Knowledge n't worry, Xiao Shi. Otto is absolutely devoted to Kallen. Yaqing wouldn't dare to write anything reckless, otherwise, before we could even take action, someone else would be the one to lose their temper." Sakura couldn't help but laugh and deliberately glanced at Yaqing.

Yaqing immediately felt uncomfortable all over her body.

Otto doesn't seem to know about this web series yet, and Yaqing forgot to tell him, so...

Yaqing silently turned off her phone.

On the other side of the desert, a blond, bearded man rode up on horseback. This was the only male disciple under the Immortal Chi Yuan, 'Swift Steed Sword' Ma Feima.

In the following episodes, viewers will see a disciple who is extremely detestable. He causes trouble outside and neglects his family. When he hears the news of his master's resurrection, the first person he thinks of telling is not his wife, but Su Mei.

The biggest point of contention in the web series also emerges at this moment: does someone who falls into demonic ways really deserve to die?

"That Ma Yanqing is such a simp."

"Fallen into the demonic path? This sounds more like Death Knights? Could it be that because Fu Hua killed more Death Knights, they ganged up on her and killed Fu Hua?"

"Having never experienced the Great Honkai or witnessed the Herrscher, Fu Hua has protected them too well, which is why they are so sentimental. They should be shown the destructive power of the Herrscher."

"A simp who licks his boots will end up with nothing."

Sirin stared wide-eyed at the interaction between Ma Yanqing and Su Mei in the scene, and couldn't help but say, "I'm not the Second Herrscher, Lin Chaoyu is the true and well-deserved... Second Herrscher!"

The viewers in the live stream were taken aback.

Wasn't Sirin the one who gave birth to the Second Herrscher, Qi, on the Siberian Snowfield? How did she become Lin Chaoyu?

The quick-witted audience members had already started laughing.

"Haha, what a great second cuckold! Who's the first cuckold?"

"Of course it's Otto, what else could it be but me?"

Green is the healthiest color and can appear anywhere, but it should never appear on a person's head.

Ma Yanqing's actions were like placing a heavy green hat on Lin Chaoyu's head.

The story of the so-called first green man is well-known.

"Lin Chaoyu must have been quite pretty when she was young, so how did she end up with Ma Feima, a bearded man with a scar on his face?" Sirin complained.

It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.

"Ma Feima's looks, I want to know who Su Mei's master killed—who was that?"

"Isn't it obvious that they killed someone and burned down the manor?"

When Su Mei mentioned killing and burning down the manor, most people had already guessed what was going on.

Of the seven swordsmen who have appeared so far, only the seventh one, who is Li Sushang's mother, lives in Sword Remembrance Estate, in addition to Li Sushang being the female protagonist.

It's safe to speculate that the first disciple Fu Hua killed, as mentioned by Su Mei, was Qin Su Yi.

In order to find the fifth disciple and unite them, Ma Feima rode his beloved horse day and night to the desert.

The story of the seventh episode also came to an end here.

Viewers eagerly clicked to watch the next episode, curious and expectant about whether Fu Hua would kill all seven treacherous disciples who betrayed their master, what Otto's purpose was on this trip, and why he was so determined to see the immortal.

The story of the next episode is not told from Ma Feima's perspective, but from a strange space where Otto is confronting the Void Archives. His eyes slowly open, and it is already dawn.

Upon hearing Otto explain that using the Abyss Flower to save people would cause him internal injuries, Li Sushang thought it was a sign of qi deviation and almost unleashed her killing intent, thus entering the Mirror Realm.

Li Sushang's sudden murderous intent caught them completely off guard.

"That was strange just now. When you mention 'qi deviation,' I feel that Sushang's state was more like qi deviation, with real killing intent."

"Those who go astray in their cultivation should be killed without mercy. Isn't that a bit too extreme?"

"Coincidentally, Su Mei seems to have the same idea."

"It feels like some kind of psychological suggestion."

The 315th Otto's Might, Heavenly Fire: Unleashed

During his conversation with Li Sushang, Otto smiled knowingly, but felt a pang of sadness in his heart. They were so similar, yet it would be difficult to see each other again.

My vision blurred.

It was as if I could see that bright-eyed girl with a charming smile all over again.

"Hey, great inventor."

I seemed to hear a voice from the past.

"I have a wish, and I'm only telling you this, so please don't laugh at me."

The sound still lingers in my ears, as if time has stood still.

Otto's eyes were brimming with tears.

Otto's infatuation with Kallen evoked mixed feelings in the audience, even though they knew he had committed many evil deeds.

"Otto's devotion... it touched me a little. Even though I know what will happen in the future, I can't bring myself to curse Otto right now."

This comment was particularly eye-catching.

It expressed the sentiments of many viewers.

Otto is indeed a villain, no one can deny that, but...

Sigh, lament.

The interaction between Otto and Li Sushang makes people smile involuntarily; the ambiguous yet sweet atmosphere makes people want to ship them but not quite.

"Your Queen, have you read a novel from Shenzhou called 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'?"

Sirin was a little puzzled. As a poor student, she didn't even read textbooks, let alone foreign novels. She asked curiously, "I haven't read any of them. Is there any connection? Or is it another tribute?"

Sirin's first reaction was to pay tribute.

Because the Honkai series of anime has already paid homage to many other works.

"It's not so much a tribute, but the relationship between Otto and Sushang reminded me of a scene from 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' namely Yang Guo and Guo Xiang."

"What is that?" Sirin blinked, looking completely bewildered.

"In short, it's about a young girl who, at the age when she's just beginning to experience romantic feelings, meets a near-perfect man, but there's absolutely no possibility of them being together. That's pretty much it."

"Oh~"

It's unclear whether Sirin actually understood or not, but she pretended to, and then looked at Bella with pleading eyes.

Bella coughed a few times and stepped in to save the day.

"I once read that classic martial arts novel. Yang Guo was the male protagonist, and he liked his aunt, so Guo Xiang had no chance. Otto was the same; he liked Kallen, so Li Sushang had no chance."

"He likes his aunt?! That's not..."

Sirin's mouth gaped slightly; her worldview was beginning to crumble.

The viewers in the live stream went to great lengths to explain the characters in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" to him, the most important point being that Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were not biologically related.

The scene shifts to an unfamiliar wooden house, where Sushang's master, her fifth disciple, "Free Sword" Cheng Lingshuang, lives.

Meanwhile, Otto and Li Sushang were on their way back, and their interactions in the carriage were still hilarious.

At this time, Otto did not have the deep cunning he would later become, which may also be due to Li Sushang.

The two successfully started talking about immortals.

And some legends.

When the topic turned to whether immortals could bring people back to life, Otto's expression changed, though Li Sushang herself was unaware of it.

At this moment, the audience learned that Otto wanted to find Fu Hua because, according to mythology, immortals can bring people back to life.

Otto wants Fu Hua to revive Kallen.

"It's a pity, Fu Hua isn't a mythical immortal, but a warrior who survived Previous Era. Otto's wish is destined to remain unfulfilled."

"If Fu Hua could really revive Kallen, Otto probably wouldn't have bothered with his Honkai Steel body and lived so long; none of the subsequent events would have occurred."

"Indeed, without Otto's leadership and the Civilization of Schicksal's Victory, it would have long since vanished under the Honkai. Where would the story come from?"

"That's not necessarily true. If Otto hadn't been holding us back, Fu Hua could definitely have held out until Kevin came back."

"And then Kevin carried out the Stigmata Project?"

A heated argument erupted in the live chat.

Just because of one person's life or death, just because of whether one person is alive, just because of what changes will occur if one person lives in the world?

"Just because of you..."

"Little Blackie, get out!"

As Sirin watched the argument on the screen, she initially intended to intervene, but finding the argument escalating, she let it go and yawned.

I continued watching the web series.
