The True Worth of Elysian Realm Lesbians. / Fu Hua's Gratitude and Suspicion.
"Ha... this is quite a challenging task..."
With a light laugh, Gwen had no intention of refusing and asked with a smile.
"That...
As the guiding spirit who issued such a challenging task, Miss Elysia, aren't you going to reveal the reward for completing it?
"As for the reward..."
Although from the observations over the past two days, I realized that Gwen did not seem to have the strong aversion and hostility towards Honkai, especially Herrscher, that I had expected from ordinary people, especially warriors fighting against Honkai, Elysia's previous question also had a bit of a probing element.
Or rather, Elysia didn't actually expect Gwen to agree immediately, but rather...
After all, even with the opportunity to maintain one's individuality, one is still Herrscher.
Therefore, when she received Gwen's affirmative answer, even Elysia, who had asked the question, was slightly taken aback.
However, Elysia concealed this well, and her tone returned to Gwen's familiar lively and playful style—
"It's a secret~? After all, if we know the reward beforehand, there won't be any surprise~?"
"Then I'll wait with anticipation."
Gwen smiled and didn't delve into it further.
After all, this was what he was planning to do anyway, and now he's just getting another reward, the nature of which is unknown, and...
Give yourself more reasons to do this...

Chapter 269 The Gold Content of the Elysian Realm.
After reaching an agreement with Elysia, who was quite exhausted from activating the Gene Lock at high intensity throughout the day, had a good Gwen's sleep. He then woke up in the morning sun to the cheerful "Good morning" of the unseen beautiful girl, ready to greet the new day.
In the morning, I trained with Fu Hua and helped Kiana and Mei develop basic training plans. In the afternoon, I adapted to my suddenly increased strength on my own...
Although it was only two days, Gwen made significant progress during those incredibly fulfilling two days.
"Gwen ——Lv.8.
Strength - SSS1999.
Durable - SSS1999.
Dexterity - SS1456.
Spirit - EX.
Energy – EX.
Energy system: None.
Development Capabilities: Nourish Body with Soul, Nourish Soul with Soul, Ten Directions Bearing, Scorching Infinity, Five Elements Mutual Generation, and the Gene Lock.
With the Gene Lock activated at high intensity, Gwen's body rapidly showed the enhancements brought about by the fusion of the Cascade Light Source and Apollo's body, and his energy attribute even broke through to the long-lost EX level.
Predictably, after spending some more time training his dexterity, Gwen will soon be able to achieve another full attribute upgrade.
However, Gwen's attention was not on the readily available improvement at this moment—
"You flatter me."
Looking at Fu Hua, whom he had forced back, Gwen said with a smile.
"No need to be modest, I did indeed lose this competition."
Fu Hua casually wiped the sweat from his temples and spoke frankly.
"Your control has recovered very quickly, it's simply beyond the norm."
Moreover, that golden energy... was very strong.
In the recent contest, Gwen used Absolute Energy, which had finally become somewhat docile and usable after his relentless unlocking of his Gene Lock.
Although Gwen did not unleash its full power to ensure safety, the well-informed Fu Hua still recognized the potential and threat of this golden energy.
"Would you consider this a compliment from the Immortal Crimson Kite?"
Faced with Fu Hua's praise, Gwen did not feign modesty this time, but readily accepted it, even laughing as he uttered a name that Gwyn should not have known.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hua's faint smile instantly vanished, and she stared at Gwen for a moment before slowly nodding.
"It must be admitted that even the Immortal Crimson Kite is amazed by your progress in these three days."
Moreover, that kind of energy... use it with caution.
Fu Hua didn't directly refute the claim that she wasn't the Immortal Crimson Kite—
Since Gwen said that, he obviously had received definite information, such as from a certain blond-haired man.
Rather than being wary of Gwen suddenly revealing her identity Immortal Crimson Kite, Fu Hua even had the mind to remind Gwen to be careful when using that golden energy that even she found troublesome.
"Thank you for reminding me."
Gwen smiled and shook his slightly numb hands—
Even after the excruciating fusion of that day and the accelerated fusion of the Gene Lock over the past three days, Gwen still felt a tingling sensation in his hands when he used Absolute Energy in actual combat for the first time.
It is now the last night of Gwen's three-day vacation. Tomorrow morning, Gwen will return to Destiny Headquarters by transport ship to report for duty.
Before leaving, Gwen needed to have a talk with Fu Hua—
After all, if Otto ordered Fu Hua to capture Kiana and Mei, given their unpreparedness, Welt Yang and Theresa might not be able to protect them.
"I'll be returning to Destiny Headquarters first thing tomorrow morning. Before that, I have some things I'd like to say to Fu Hua."
"Good."
After exchanging a glance with Gwen to make sure he was serious, Fu Hua nodded and walked to a nearby bench first.
After the two settled down on the bench, Gwen didn't beat around the bush but went straight to the question.
To make a long story short—
Fu Hua, how much of your Remembrance of being Hua do you still remember?
"Magnificent?"
Upon hearing this somewhat distant title, Fu Hua was visibly taken aback, glancing at Gwen with surprise—
If there are still traces of the Immortal Crimson Kite, then only Otto knows the name Hua.
The only reason Gwen would call out that name is if Otto wanted to say something to her.
Immediately, Fu Hua shook her head, a hint of bitterness in her voice:
"There are very few left."
Fu Hua's personality meant she wouldn't explain that she burned away most of her Remembrance to deal with Sirin, but her longing and reminiscence for the past came from the bottom of her heart.
"...
"Then... do you still remember... Elysia?"
Fu Hua, like a floral fragrance carried by the wind. Gwen sighed softly and asked again in a low voice.
At the same time, Gwen took out the golden Crystal Flower, which was as dazzling as gold, from the backpack next to him, instantly attracting Fu Hua's attention.
Before Fu Hua could say anything, the sudden appearance of a third person's voice completely brought her to a halt—
"Hey Hua, long time no see, did you miss me?"
In an instant, a beautiful figure emerged from the hazy Remembrance in her mind, smiling as she looked at Fu Hua—
"Elysia?"
Although most of the Remembrance associated with it are still vague, Fu Hua still remembered the name and the person.
"Yes, it's me~?"
Noticing the fluctuations in Fu Hua's emotions, Elysia's words couldn't help but become more playful and excited.
"Even though so much time has passed, Hua can still remember me just by my voice..."
Hmm... As expected of Hua, he's really reliable!
"...
Um..."
Fu Hua opened her mouth, wanting to say a lot, but her missing Remembrance made her unsure where to begin. She could only give a soft "hmm" as she had done countless times before.
"Um?
Would seeing me again make Hua unhappy?
Noticing Fu Hua's complex emotions, Elysia didn't remain silent but instead asked in a serious tone.
Then, as Elysia had expected, Fu Hua waved her hands repeatedly, rubbed her slightly red eyes, and tried to force a big smile.
"No, no..."
I'm actually... very happy.
But... I can't remember a lot of things, so..."
It seemed that hearing Elysia's voice again brought Fu Hua back to a time when she didn't need to stand alone, lead, or protect civilization; she only needed to follow Kevin or Elysia. Fu Hua, who usually gave people a calm impression, was now unusually flustered, like a little girl.
"It's okay..."
Seeing Fu Hua's helpless expression, Elysia quickly changed to a gentle tone, like that of a loving mother.
"Hua, you've already done very well. Don't keep being so hard on yourself, okay?"
"Um..."
Hearing that familiar voice, lingering in the depths of her Remembrance, speak in that gentle tone, Fu Hua felt all the grievances, anguish, and sadness that had overwhelmed her vanish. A faint, heartfelt, gentle smile appeared on her face, which always gave off a neutral and even handsome impression.

Chapter 270 Fu Hua's emotion and suspicion.
As she revealed this gentle smile, Fu Hua's gaze also fell on the golden Crystal Flower held in Gwen's palm, carefully sensing the fluctuations within it.
After a long pause, Fu Hua asked hesitantly:
"Is it really you... Elysia?"
Even though Fu Hua has lost a lot of her Remembrance, she is now Fu Hua who has gone through a long period of time, not the naive Fu Hua she once was.
After finding a fleeting moment of excitement within her lost Remembrance, Fu Hua, regaining her composure, began to doubt the reality of everything before her—
Although she herself is an example of someone who has lived from 50,000 years ago to the present, Fu Hua still felt a bit unreal when Elysia, who was confirmed dead back then, suddenly reappeared.
"Uh-huh..."
Faced with Fu Hua's surprise and uncertainty, Elysia put away her playful nature and said with a smile.
"The person in front of you right now is the real Elysia, no doubt about it~?"
Although I only learned about Fu Hua's experiences from Gwen these past two days, I don't know the details.
However, Elysia could also guess that, given Fu Hua's personality, even if she chose to burn those Remembrance, she would still feel guilty and longing for the people and things in those Remembrance.
Therefore, Elysia carefully avoided this topic.
"Can..."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Fu Hua instinctively wanted to question it, but hearing that familiar voice and tone again made her hesitant to speak, not wanting to be told that everything she had just experienced was a lie.
"Fu Hua, take a closer look at this..."
Noticing Fu Hua's hesitation, Gwen opportunely interrupted the conversation between the two old friends, raising the golden Crystal Flower in his hand.
"This was left by Elysia on her last night. Almost no one except her has ever seen it, and no one can forge it."
"..."
Upon hearing this Fu Hua instinctively wanted to agree, but she only opened her mouth and ultimately did not agree, simply shaking her head slightly.
After carefully examining the golden Crystal Flower in Gwen's hand, whose soul light pulsed rhythmically, Fu Hua closed her eyes and gently exhaled.
