Bella nodded thoughtfully, saying with admiration, "As expected of Her Majesty the Queen, so thoughtful!"

Sirin: "???" I just don't want to cause trouble for now? What do you know?

"Bella, wait for me here."

Suddenly, Sirin had an idea and said with a smile, "I'll treat you to something delicious."

"Huh?"

Bella froze for a moment, about to say something, when she realized her queen had already jumped off the roof...

Bella "..."

Bella subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but... she was afraid of being disliked by the Queen. After all, she couldn't hide her wings, and they would definitely be exposed. The Queen... might just abandon her in a fit of anger.

So let's just sit here and wait for Her Majesty to return.

"I remember there was a cake shop here..."

Once on the street, Sirin began searching for the cake shop she had visited before, since she and Ling Xi had been there together last time.

"Found it!"

Soon, Sirin spotted the familiar store. It was this store! Sirin immediately said, "Hey, Ling Xi, I want..."

Sirin instinctively wanted to ask Ling Xi to buy it for her, but...

Sirin "..."

He had forgotten that Ling Xi was no longer by his side. To him, this was as painful as the Emperor not inviting his young master to a meal...

So... what do I do next? I just said I'd treat Bella to something to eat, if I go back empty-handed...

Sirin "..."

"Mmm..."

Finally, after Sirin for a long time, it seemed that she had no choice but to give up. If she still had her spatial power, she might have been able to take a little, but now she possessed extremely destructive fire power, which she could not use for petty theft.

As for going straight to rob...

Sirin didn't have that idea. After all, the shop owner was a nice guy; last time she came, he even gave her an extra piece of the new product. She felt too embarrassed to just take it from him...

Or, why don't we just go and buy it, and then have them send the bill to our home?

Um... no, no, no. After all, bills aren't common in Shenzhou yet. Besides, if Ling Xi sees it at home, wouldn't Ling Xi know I'm back?

Love, never mind, I'll try again next time.

So, Sirin prepared to return...

"Little sister, here you go."

Suddenly, a young woman stood in front of Sirin, handed Sirin a cake, and looked at her with a smile.

"Huh?"

Sirin was stunned for a moment, then looked the other person up and down. Her first impression was... what a beautiful person! Snow-white hair, blue eyes, and a great figure. Ugh... damn it, she's that guy's type!

Sirin immediately thought of the previous body pillow, which was also white-furred, so... Sirin hates white-furred things.

Moreover, her intuition told Sirin that the person in front of her... was dangerous, the kind of danger that could threaten her very existence!

"Don't worry, I mean no harm."

Seeing Sirin's wary look, the woman smiled and said, "I just saw you standing here for a while and you look a lot like me when I was a child, so I wanted to get to know you."

"OK."

At this moment, Sirin realized that the other party was definitely not an ordinary human. Ordinary humans would not give her this feeling, but Sirin was not intimidated. She silently accepted the cake and smiled, "Thank you."

"You are welcome."

The woman smiled slightly and said, "My name is Cecilia. May I ask your name?"

"Sirin ..."

Sirin didn't stand on ceremony and started eating the cake with a spoon. Hmm... it tasted different from last time, but it was still quite delicious!

"Hmm, that's a very nice name."

Cecilia smiled slightly and said, "Why don't we go sit on those chairs for a while? Standing like this will get tiring."

"Uh-huh..."

Sirin still didn't refuse, calmly nodding.

The two then sat on a bench by the roadside, eating cake and chatting.

Unlike Old Yang, who is known for his excellent conversational skills, Cecilia is genuinely good at chatting. Although Sirin was somewhat wary of the person in front of her, under the guidance of Cecilia's gentle nature, Sirin gradually opened up. Although she was still somewhat wary, she was willing to chat with Cecilia.

The content of their conversation was very simple, mostly consisting of casual chatter or everyday matters.

On the rooftop, Bebedragon was observing the situation on the ground. As Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Bebedragon could naturally sense Cecilia's threat, but...

Seeing that their queen was getting along so well with this human, so...

As expected, Her Majesty the Queen is trying to turn the human leadership against her while simultaneously gathering intelligence on the human world. As expected of Her Majesty the Queen, unlike me, Honkai Beast who only knows how to kill, Her Majesty the Queen is... full of wisdom!

"Ling Xi, someone is looking for you. It seems to be someone from the Schicksal."

In the Anti-Entropy lounge, Ling Xi was resting and pondering how to deal with Sirin's problem when Tesla walked in.

"Schicksal one?"

Ling Xi was taken aback for a moment, but she wasn't particularly surprised. After all, even Anti-Entropy could investigate her affairs, so there was no reason why Schicksal couldn't.

"May I leave my name?"

Ling Xi asked casually, not knowing if it was Theresa or someone else, but it must have been sent by a shill.

"Yes, I have."

Tesla casually replied, "She said her name is Fu Hua, and she's an old friend of yours."

"Fu Hua?"

Ling Xi immediately stood up from the sofa and asked, "Where is she now?"

Tesla smirked and said, "It's in the base lobby. If you want to see it, just go straight there..."

"Bang..."

Before Tesla could finish speaking, Ling Xi rushed out the door, seemingly in a hurry!

Tesla: "..." Hey, can you wait for me to finish what I'm saying?

However, judging from Ling Xi's expression, she does seem to know that person named Fu Hua, but Fu Hua is a member of Schicksal...

It seems that the guy with the messy hair's idea of keeping Ling Xi in Anti-Entropy is likely to fall through.

Chapter 614: Immortal for Five Hundred Years!

"Magnificent..."

Soon, Ling Xi arrived in the hall and saw that familiar figure.

"Ling... Ling Xi?"

Seeing Ling Xi's appearance, Fu Hua seemed a little confused. What the heck is this?

"Don't be so surprised, this isn't the first time."

Ling Xi shrugged and smiled, "I'll explain the details to you later."

"Hmm... okay."

Although Fu Hua still had many questions in her mind, she put aside her curiosity for the time being since this was Anti-Entropy's territory.

"Hua, let's find a place to talk properly."

Ling Xi clearly understood this principle. Although Anti-Entropy wasn't a villain in the Honkai universe, Ling Xi obviously didn't want her own affairs to be exposed too quickly, so it was necessary for her to find a quiet place to talk to Fu Hua alone.

"Yes, that's fine."

Fu Hua nodded slightly in agreement.

Then, the two decided to leave...

"Hey, what's going on here?"

Tesla happened to arrive as well, and was somewhat surprised to see that the two seemed to be leaving.

"Dr. Tesla, Fu Hua and I are going for a walk."

Ling Xi smiled at Tesla and added, "By the way, tell Ein to call me if there's any news."

After saying that, Ling Xi and Fu Hua left directly...

"Huh?"

Tesla was left speechless. Damn it, this guy is too arrogant. Ugh... never mind, I can't beat him.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have been awake for so long, and you've even bought a house..."

Before long, Ling Xi brought Fu Hua back home, and Fu Hua learned about Ling Xi's recent situation and seemed somewhat emotional.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Ling Xi poured Fu Hua a cup of tea and smiled, "After all, I was in the Babylon Laboratory after I woke up, and I needed a lot of time to recover my strength. Originally, I planned to have Little Klein help me contact you, or wake up Elysia and the others to help, but..."

"We can no longer contact the base, and I don't know how you contact us in this era. Besides, Mount Tai Xu doesn't seem to be inhabited, so..."

Finally, Ling Xi sighed helplessly and laughed, "I had no choice but to hide here with Sirin for the time being. I didn't expect that Schicksal and Anti-Entropy would find us so quickly."

"I'm sorry, I should have found you sooner."

Hearing this, Hua felt a little guilty. If he had found Ling Xi sooner, the situation wouldn't have become so bad.

"It's alright, I couldn't find you either, could I?"

Ling Xi just smiled and said, "Besides, after what happened last night, didn't you come looking for me right away? Even faster than I expected."

"Of course..."

Fu Hua smiled slightly and said, "After all, someone tricked me into marrying him more than five hundred years ago, promising to get married after we got back. But he just ran off to Lin five hundred years later, so..."

Fu Hua silently rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "Ling Xi, our sparring last time didn't result in a winner, so why don't we have another one?"

"Um... calm down, Hua, calm down!"

Ling Xi immediately urged the Immortal to calm down. Of course, in his current state, he was barely able to beat up an utterly incompetent Old Yang, let alone the immortal Immortal Fu Hua. This was definitely a one-sided beating.

"Snort..."

Fu Hua gave a soft hum, but it was just talk. Beating up Ling Xi... she had the thought, but she wouldn't actually do it, even though that guy had abandoned her for five hundred years...

No, if we start counting from Cangxuan Danzhu, this guy has been away for at least five thousand years.

Where is Sushang?

Thinking of this, Ling Xi inquired about Li Sushang's situation. Although she had died hastily, she hadn't taken the Hibernation Pod with her, so Li Sushang should be fine, right?

"He's asleep at the Schicksal Headquarters."

Fu Hua calmly said, "After you went missing, Little Klein contacted us and explained your situation. Although Sushang was depressed for several days, she eventually accepted reality and decided to hibernate in the future to meet you, and..."

Fu Hua smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if that girl was stimulated by something, which caused her to master the Tai Xu Sword Qi in just one year. She said that after mastering it, she could go and kill people as soon as she woke up in the future."

Ling Xi: "..." Little Li Zi, does your family really have a tradition of killing one's master?

"Finally, she entered a state of hibernation, and I placed her in a secret room. Later, a man named Otto found me, and..."

Fu Hua glanced at Ling Xi and continued, "Otto told me about meeting you, but you were no longer with us at the time, so I could only ask him to wait until the future. In the meantime, he seemed to be constantly looking for other methods. In the end, we reached a cooperation agreement and transferred Sushang to the Schicksal Headquarters."

"Otto, you scoundrel..."
