The Reflection off That Flat Chest-An Unchanging Faith for Life! / Miss Fairy Is Going to Eat Me!
"Ling Xi... it really is you! I never thought I would actually see you, cough cough..."
Looking at Ling Xi, Xiao Wen seemed a little surprised, but quickly regained her composure. "Dr. Mobius has already told me. Thank you for coming all the way to pick me up."
"Um... you know me?"
Ling Xi looked somewhat curious.
"Well, after all, he's the hero who saved Changkong City. And, although the short video was a bit blurry, Ling Xi next to Dr. Mobius, hehe..."
Xiaowen smiled slightly and said no more.
"Hmm, it seems you're already a celebrity."
Elysia teased Ling Xi, saying, "How about you sign my autograph sometime? My... big celebrity!"
"Stop fooling around, let's go back..."
Ling Xi glanced at Elysia speechlessly, then led the two of them to return, since they had already picked up the person and it was time to go back.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Ling Xi seemed to see someone with a certain attribute pass by her on the roadside, Ling Xi quickly turned around to look...
Long gray hair, a familiar figure, this is...
"Magnificent?"
Almost at the same time, Ling Xi reached out and grabbed the figure that passed by her.
"Um?"
After the other person was caught, they stopped and looked at Ling Xi with a puzzled look. Obviously, she didn't know the other person, but... why did the other person know her name?
She didn't pull away from Ling Xi's hand gripping her forearm, but politely asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
It really was you...
Instantly, Ling Xi was completely certain that the girl in front of him was... Fused Warrior, Floating Flame-Chasing Moths, Immortal Crimson Kite, Shenzhou Flat, Ignite the Soul of Action, Fu Hua RD3!
Chapter 156: The reflection of the flat plate on my chest, an unwavering faith in this life!
Looking at the girl in front of him, Ling Xi was now completely convinced that the person in front of him was Fu Hua, although... the real class president was a being from 55,000 years in the future!
Therefore, the girl's face at this moment did not have that weathered and rigid look, but only a youthful naiveté. Both her eyes and her temperament were completely different from the Fu Hua she remembered, but...
The reflection of the plaque on your chest is my unwavering faith in this life!
I recognized him by his eyes; this was the class monitor.
"Hua, don't you recognize me? I'm Ling Xi."
Ling Xi knew that Fu Hua definitely wouldn't recognize him now, but knowing Fu Hua's current identity, Ling Xi almost instantly found an excuse and said with a smile, "I used to play at your family's martial arts school, but I only played around and didn't sign up. Your father seemed quite regretful about it."
"Uh... sorry, I don't quite remember."
Hua hesitated for a moment. Clearly, she still didn't recognize him, but she didn't think Ling Xi was lying. After all, this kind of thing often happened at her family's martial arts school. People who were interested in martial arts would come to try it out, but in the end, they wouldn't sign up. Her father used to complain about it, saying that they were a bunch of freeloaders...
"It's okay, it's enough that I remember you."
Ling Xi smiled and said to Hua, "By the way, weren't you in Canghai City? How did you end up in the Mu Continent?"
"Idiot, Canghai City is gone..."
Elysia pinched Ling Xi's arm, reminding him not to talk about such sad things, because almost everyone on this flight was a survivor who had escaped from Canghai City. If he brought up Canghai City again, wasn't he just deliberately provoking them?
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Hua lowered his head in disappointment...
"Then... your father..."
Ling Xi wanted to confirm one last thing: whether the class monitor's father was still alive.
"They've perished."
Hua simply lowered her head and whispered this answer...
Elysia: "..." Is this guy's emotional intelligence negative?
"Um... I'm sorry."
Ling Xi was now somewhat regretful. She realized that she might have been a little excited to see Fu Hua from the Previous Era, which was why she said some silly things.
"Hua, you must be hungry after your long journey. It's been so long since we last met. How about I treat you today?"
So Ling Xi quickly changed the subject, deciding to get to know Hua first before considering the rest. After all... she had finally met the Previous Era, how could she let her go? She had to bring her to her side!
In short, whether it's because of her personal feelings or Hua's value as Flame-Chasing Moths, Ling Xi wants to keep Hua by her side right now!
"Eh... this..."
Hua was clearly hesitant. After all, she wasn't really familiar with Ling Xi, and... being so enthusiastic upon meeting would make people think she had ulterior motives, wouldn't it?
"Don't be shy, let's go. Even though this is an airport, there's a noodle shop here that serves really delicious noodles."
Without giving Hua a chance to refuse, Ling Xi pulled her out. Of course, Ling Xi also turned back to see, "Elysia, Xiao Wen, let's go."
Elysia "..."
Xiaowen: "..."
Although both of them were speechless, they still followed.
"Whoosh..."
In the noodle shop, Hua finished his third bowl of noodles before letting out a deep breath. "Refreshing!"
At the same time, Hua also basically believed that Ling Xi knew him, otherwise how would she know that he liked to eat noodles?
"Hua, what brings you to the Mu Continent?"
After finishing their meal, Ling Xi began asking about Hua. She remembered that in the original story, Hua was rescued in Canghai City by a red-haired older woman from the Previous Era who resembled Himeko, and then became one of her team members. But...
Why did Hua end up in the Mu Continent this time?
"Himiko sent me."
Hua didn't hide anything and told the truth, "When I was in danger in Canghai City, she saved me, so I evacuated with her. However, she soon received a new mission and needed to return to the Mu Continent. Before we parted, I asked her if I could fight with her. She said yes and gave me an address and some money, telling me to come to the Mu Continent to find her."
"Himiko? Uh..."
Ling Xi was stunned for a moment. Who... is this?
"I know him."
Seeing this, Elysia very considerately took out her phone, pulled up a document with pictures, and handed it to Ling Xi: "Himiko, captain of the fifth squad of the Honkai Flame-Chasing Moths."
As she spoke, Elysia added with a laugh, "Hey, no matter what, you're a member of the Flame-Chasing Moths, how come you don't even recognize your own colleagues?"
Ling Xi "..."
At this point, Ling Xi was too lazy to refute Elysia's words, because she was already captivated by the person in the photo...
With her crimson hair and striking resemblance to Himeko, well, this is the mature woman from the manga, and also... the Seventh Herrscher of the Previous Era, the Herrscher of Flame!
Okay, history has changed a bit, but the general plot is still the same. Hua will still join Himiko's Fifth Squad, but...
"Hua, how about you come stay with me?"
Having read the original story of the manga "Wings of the Primordial Era, "Ling Xi naturally didn't want Hua to follow the same path, nor did she want Hua to develop too deep a relationship with Himiko now, because... the deeper the relationship now, the more harm she would suffer when the Seventh Herrscher appears!
Therefore, Ling Xi plans to change the plot and bring Hua directly to her side, or rather... to Mobius's side.
With Mobius around, her Hypervariable Surgery will be much easier, and she won't have to go through the trap Möbius set. After all, in the comics, Hua was almost killed by Möbius's scheme. If it happened again...
Ling Xi couldn't guarantee that Hua would definitely awaken the Hypervariable Factor and become Fused Warrior.
So, rather than letting Hua go through so many tragic experiences before finally becoming a qualified Fused Warrior, it would be better to bring her to the Mobius Lab from the beginning and let her get involved in this field as early as possible. Maybe... we'll see a different kind of class monitor in the future.
"Huh?"
Hearing Ling Xi's words, Hua was clearly taken aback, not understanding what Ling Xi meant. "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Forehead..."
Ling Xi thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hua, let's get to know each other formally again. My name is Ling Xi, and I'm Dr. Mobius's assistant. I currently work in the Mobius lab, so... I'm planning to invite you to the Mobius lab."
"Mobius, Ling Xi ..."
Before, when Hua first heard the name Ling Xi, he thought it was just a coincidence, but...
When she heard the names Mobius and Ling Xi together, she immediately realized something and looked at Ling Xi with some surprise. "You... you wouldn't happen to be Ling Xi, the one who defeated the Third Herrscher in Changkong City, would you? The Great Hero who saved the world!"
"Puff..."
Hearing what Hua said, Elysia couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said to Ling Xi with a smile, "Ling Xi, I knew you were famous now, um... a Great Hero!"
Ling Xi: "..." Are you all fucking crazy?!
Chapter 157: I'm going to be eaten by the fairy!
"Ahem, I wouldn't call myself a hero, but I am the Ling Xi you mentioned."
Although somewhat annoyed by Elysia's teasing, Ling Xi decisively chose to acknowledge it. Making the most of what she had, she figured this identity might be somewhat attractive to Hua.
"It really is you..."
Upon hearing Ling Xi's admission, Hua was clearly very surprised and couldn't help but sigh, muttering to himself, "If Father knew, he would be very happy. A former student of the martial arts school..."
Ling Xi: "..." Actually, I only made up the martial arts school thing, just to start a conversation with you...
"Ahem, Hua, could you please reconsider what I just said?"
Ling Xi coughed lightly and invited Wallace to the Mobius Laboratory again.
"This..."
Hua hesitated for a moment before saying, "Personally, I would be very willing to accept your invitation, but I have made an appointment with Captain Himiko to come to the Mu Continent to see her, so..."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Ling Xi quickly said, "We are all from the Flame-Chasing Moths Department, so transfers are very convenient, and we will also communicate with Captain Himiko."
"Mmm..."
Hua still seemed somewhat hesitant.
"Well then, since this is your first time in the Mu Continent and you're unfamiliar with the place, why don't you come back to the lab with me first, take a look around, and then make a decision?"
As she spoke, Ling Xi continued with a smile, "And, regardless of whether you agree to work at our research institute or not, I will drive you to see Himiko. How about that?"
"Um..."
Seeing that Ling Xi had already gone this far, Hua felt that it might be inappropriate to refuse again, so in the end he could only nod and say, "Then I'll have to bother you."
"No, no, how could that be?"
Ling Xi quickly shook her head and smiled, "I'm so happy to see friends I used to spend time with. Hua, let's go, the car's over there, I'll help you with your luggage!"
"Oh, no need... um, thank you."
Hua wanted to say no thanks, but seeing that Ling Xi had already picked it up, she could only say thank you in the end.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the parking lot. Elysia took the passenger seat, while Ling Xi put their luggage in the trunk before returning to the driver's seat and setting off on their return journey!
"Hua, how are you feeling?"
Back in the lab, Ling Xi first took Xiao Wen to find Mobius, and then returned to find Fu Hua, who was now called Hua.
"Hmm... as expected, it is indeed a research institute."
Hua smiled at Ling Xi and said, "However... this place is probably not suitable for me. I... would rather fight against Honkai Beast."
"Is that so..."
Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Okay, I understand. I'll drive you to the Fifth Squad's base tomorrow."
Upon hearing Hua's answer, Ling Xi did not offer any rebuttal and readily agreed to see Hua off.
"Yes, thank you."
Hua also gave Ling Xi a grateful look. Although she did want to stay here, she hoped to fight the Honkai Beast on the front line!
