The Thunder Roars; the Time to Part Has Come

Little Knowledge was speechless.

The "self" already harbored resentment towards Fu Hua, but Fu Hua seemed completely oblivious, immediately asking to borrow power without even exchanging words. This is something you wouldn't do even when borrowing money from someone else.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Hua, what will you do if you have children in the future?"

Danzhu clicked his tongue in admiration and teased Fu Hua.

She can't even soothe a big kid like Little Knowledge, let alone if she has a child in the future. Given Fu Hua's personality, she probably wouldn't even know to nurse when the baby cries.

Danzhu suddenly thought of something and took a deep look at Fu Hua's figure, which was still quite thin.

Fu Hua sensed a deep-seated malice.

"Won't the child go hungry with that old-fashioned figure?"

The naive Little Knowledge blurted out, then looked down at her own figure. Hmm, a little bigger than Fu Hua, at least she had a cleavage.

Fu Hua's fair forehead suddenly bulged with veins.

She wasn't usually that concerned about her figure; after all, a martial artist becomes a burden when they grow up. But ever since the anime Honkai 3rd became popular, and she saw the comments online, she suddenly started to care a little.

Little Knowledge doesn't seem to have realized the danger yet.

Seeing the pitying looks in Danzhu and Cang Xuan's eyes, he realized something was wrong.

"Old relic, I... ah!"

Little Knowledge wanted to make amends, but it was too late; her explanations couldn't keep up with the speed of Fu Hua's fist.

Little Knowledge cried out in pain, then crouched down, clutching his head.

Danzhu silently hid behind Cang Xuan.

Cang Xuan awkwardly changed the subject.

The conversation drifted from Fu Hua's figure to the anime "Honkai".

"Hahaha... Hua, don't you think that last sentence you said was exactly the same as when children in Shenzhou asked their parents for New Year's money when they were young?"

Lend me your strength, and it won't be taken away if you win. Give me your New Year's money, and I'll give it back to you when you grow up.

What's the difference between these two sentences?

Fu Hua was taken aback.

It seems there really is no difference.

She fell silent.

Cang Xuan shook his head.

An eerie silence fell over the room, broken only by the sound of the Honkai anime on the screen.

"Hmm, great! Let's applaud your future victory! -- Hmph! What does this have to do with me?"

Little Knowledge said in a sarcastic tone.

Kiana needs you.

"Isn't the position of class monitor what she wants?"

Little Knowledge snorted coldly; she was still angry with Kiana.

"I need you too."

"..."

Little Knowledge was stunned by Fu Hua's direct approach; she hadn't expected the old-fashioned, conservative person to say such a thing.

Fu Hua could clearly feel the chains loosen their grip a little, realizing that her words had been effective, so she continued.

"I know... Kiana once rejected you, but after spending that time together, you realized she wasn't a bad person."

Fu Hua's tone was sincere and gentle; anyone, let alone Little Knowledge, would have fallen for her.

"She denies that you are [Fu Hua], not because she dislikes you. On the contrary, we all believe that you are an independent person, a unique soul."

"You have your own thoughts and your own principles. You don't need to care who you are because you can decide what you want to become."

"I've always wanted to tell you this... Kiana, and I, we both hope you can come back."

Fu Hua's long string of sincere words not only silenced Little Knowledge, but also shocked the audience.

When did Fu Hua become so eloquent?

If you had that skill, wouldn't it have been better to use it earlier back at Tai Xu Mountain?

"Great! This straight shot is definitely going to be too much for Little Knowledge to handle!"

Pardo opened champagne right at halftime.

Although Little Knowledge has a bit of a childish personality and can sulk, she cares more about Fu Hua. Fu Hua coaxes her, Little Knowledge will definitely let go of her proud and arrogant nature.

Seeing the proud Little Knowledge defeated by Fu Hua's words "I need you," Elysia finally smiled.

That's how it should be done. They'll become immune to a constant barrage of insults. But by adding a touch of sweetness or humor halfway through the act, you can make the knife strike deeper into their hearts.

Yaqing kept telling herself this in her heart.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the people around him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up as well.

I need to apply...

What we are "protecting" is this kind of smile!

Yaqing was laughing hysterically inside; if she were to laugh out loud, she would probably be just as good as Kalpas.

Shenzhou, Tai Xu Martial Hall.

"So that's how it was solved..."

Cang Xuan smiled.

Old-fashioned people may not know how to coax others, but as long as you express your thoughts, that's fine.

Little Knowledge, who had just been punched by the old antique, got up again, and a smile actually appeared on his face.

"Old fogey, you still need me after all!"

Little Knowledge patted Fu Hua on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, since you've said so, I'll definitely help you!"

Little Knowledge has no idea what she will encounter next.

Fu Hua awaited the Herrscher of Sentience's reply, but the prolonged silence made her extremely anxious, as every minute that was delayed increased the danger to Kiana.

"Hmph, you seem to be a little better at chatting than the other wooden people."

After a moment of silence, Little Knowledge's voice came out again. Although it was still arrogant, its tone was much better.

"But ultimately, this is a mess you all made! Whoever causes the trouble should clean it up... Yes, if you're so capable, then do it yourself—"

The Herrscher of Sentience clearly didn't realize the wickedness of society and wanted to talk to Fu Hua again, but Fu Hua, anxious, knew that reality didn't give her time to hesitate.

"I'm so sorry!"

Seizing the moment when the Herrscher of Sentience relaxed her guard, Fu Hua forcefully pulled on the chain, and power poured towards her.

Although she knew it was very unethical to do this, she had no choice but to do so due to the urgency of the situation.

"You old relic! You—!!!"

The Herrscher of Sentience's surprised and angry voice rang out. She clearly hadn't expected Fu Hua to forcibly take away her power, but before she could finish speaking, Fu Hua's consciousness had already left the depths.

"???"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, falling into an eerie silence.

"Uh... I bet Little Knowledge is furious right now."

Sakura gave an awkward smile.

How is this any different from robbing a child?

Although Little Knowledge has Fu Hua's memories spanning 50,000 years, he himself was only born a few months ago, which translates to him being a child less than a year old.

"You old fogey! You!!!"

Just as Ying thought, Little Knowledge was indeed furious.

Even though he had already given in, Fu Hua coaxed him a few more times, he would definitely be happy to lend her his power.

But she... she actually tried to steal it by force?!

Even Fu Hua herself couldn't stand her actions in the storyline. While it's understandable, it still didn't sound good when it got out.

A 50,000-year-old antique stole things from a newborn child.

Fu Hua covered her face.

"What a blockhead."

Cang Xuan sighed.

Having mastered the power "borrowed" from Little Knowledge, Fu Hua re-entered the Phoenix state and successfully severed the thread connecting the puppet and its host with a spectacular Xuan Bird Ember Spirit attack.

And in the very next second, the power of the Herrscher of Sentience was successfully taken away by the puppet.

"An old relic!"

Little Knowledge got even angrier.

This was just an empty promise, saying that if you won, you wouldn't lose it, but the next second your power was taken away.

Isn't this a lie?!

Fu Hua suddenly felt a little afraid to face Little Knowledge.

You know, in the past, Little Knowledge Shi always tricked Fu Hua out of her New Year's money. Now that it's Fu Hua tricking Little Knowledge, her old-fashioned mind felt a little ashamed.

Little Knowledge wouldn't have this mindset.

With sunglasses on, I don't care about anyone.

"You old fogey, you... humph."

Little Knowledge snorted coldly and crossed his arms.

He seemed to be sulking.

"Feel sorry..."

Fu Hua's sincere apology was clearly beyond Little Knowledge's expectations.

"Old fogey, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about that character in the story!"

416

Chapter 416 The sound of thunder resounded, and the time for farewell had arrived.

"Little Knowledge must be furious..."

Sakura's expression was strange.

This is like your parents taking your toy away, then you voluntarily giving it to another child to play with, and you don't even have to take it back.

Anyone would be angry in that situation.

"I really like a quote Little Knowledge once said: 'I am the Herrscher of Consciousness, who can deceive me?'"

There was no way to fool her; Sister Hua simply took it by force.

Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I reckon Little Knowledge won't talk to her for a long time to come."

Fu Hua, whose Herrscher Authority had been taken away, sighed, "So this is what it feels like to have your powers taken away."

Bronya was extremely surprised to see that Fu Hua had actually "borrowed" power from the Herrscher of Sentience and broken the deadlock. She hadn't expected the Herrscher of Sentience to be willing to help them.

Fu Hua looked somewhat embarrassed. She told Bronya that Little Knowledge hadn't actually agreed, but she was in a hurry, so she used some special methods.

"She must be furious right now."

Bronya's expression was strange.
