Honkai Exposure, Starting with Iconic Elysian Realm Scenes

At least Fu Hua couldn't influence things on the Death Space side.

Herrscher of Reason: "Mmm... what you're saying makes a lot of sense. After all, this is something only I can do, I'm so amazing! But it's a shame, it wasn't me this time, it was Mount Tai Xu."

Fu Hua: "Mount Tai Xu it is, then. The Puppet Academy is a ridiculous world anyway."

Kiana: "Then which one should we choose? There isn't a single clue about the Puppet Academy's problems!"

World Serpent is on the verge of bankruptcy, the Herrscher of Reason stole Kevin's Fehu. The first two options sound somewhat reasonable, but what the heck are the last two?

The Herrscher of Reason went to commit fraud, illegally selling Crimson Bird?

What is going on here!

Theresa: "Let's first rule out the possibility of the Herrscher of Reason committing fraud on the mountain. A Herrscher, who can tear through Schicksal HQ, how could she be so bored as to commit fraud."

Elysia: "Such a well-reasoned analysis, truly convincing."

Bronya: "The Director's analysis makes a lot of sense. And then there's that Crimson Bird. Class monitor, you are the Immortal Crimson Bird, do you know what Crimson Bird is?"

Fu Hua: "It's a divine bird from Shenzhou legends. But this is something I, Danzhu, and the others made up. It shouldn't really exist."

Pardofelis: "Then let's pick from the remaining two reasonable options. One of them has to be right."

Herrscher of Reason: "Then I choose the first one, A! It must have been me causing a huge ruckus at World Serpent back then, the destructive power was too astonishing, even Kevin couldn't do anything about me. Ah, as expected of me!"

[Incorrect Answer.]

[The correct answer is B, the Herrscher of Reason committed fraud at the foot of Mount Tai Xu.]

Herrscher of Reason: "Fraud?!?!"

Theresa: "This... I really didn't expect that."

Impossible. Theresa pondered that her analysis, which was as brilliant as it was absurd, was unprecedentedly meticulous. Why did it go wrong?

Fu Hua: "Ahem, Herrscher of Reason, fraud is wrong. Even if you are a Herrscher, you should be a sensible Herrscher."

Herrscher of Reason: "Pfft, you old fossil, stop lecturing me!"

Damn it.

Little Shi had answered incorrectly and was in a bad mood. The stoic, old fossil started lecturing her, completely lacking in tact.

If I don't comfort her now, she'll never be happy again!

Elysia: "The world is so cold. Even Herrschers have to resort to fraud. Should we say it's fitting for the kind of fun only the Puppet Academy can create?"

Himeko Murata: "Actually, I don't think it's impossible for something like that to happen on our side either."

After all, everyone knew the Herrscher of Reason's personality. She was such a lively child, and she possessed the power to influence consciousness.

If she got upset one day, she might just go and commit fraud.

Theresa: "Fu Hua, hurry up and get out that dusty law book of yours and show it to the Herrscher of Reason, so she doesn't make any more mistakes."

Fu Hua: "Oh, right."

After being reminded, Fu Hua immediately ran back to her bedroom and found the book "Zhang San Teaches Fraud Law."

She used to think it was too useless, but now it came in handy!

PS: Twelve chapters upon going on sale, thank you for the recommendations and monthly votes.

Chapter 74: Mount Tai Xu Breeding Farm

Fu Hua: "Little Shi, I've already read this "Zhang San Teaches Criminal Law: Fraud" once. I'm giving it to you today. I hope it helps you become a Herrscher who doesn't deceive people."

Herrscher of Reason: "Huh? You think a broken book can fool me? Old fossil, do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

Refused. The Herrscher of Reason stated her refusal.

To be dismissed with just a book would be too much of a loss of face!

Elysia: "But Little Shi, this is the first gift Hua has given you. Wouldn't it be bad if you didn't accept it?"

Herrscher of Reason: "Then... then I'll reluctantly accept it."

She was still a little upset inside, but considering Hua's feelings, the Herrscher of Reason accepted "Zhang San Teaches Law" and then flipped to a random page to glance at it.

Then, the Herrscher of Reason's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but be shocked by the contents of the book.

--- "Zhang San Teaches Fraud Law: Emergency Avoidance." ---

Hahaha!

She never imagined there was such a profound and timeless piece of writing in the world. Now, no one could do anything to her!

Fu Hua: "Little Shi is reading very attentively. I'm glad you like it."

Himeko Murata: "I didn't expect the seemingly lively Herrscher of Reason to have such a strong thirst for knowledge. Kiana, you really should learn from her."

Kiana: "No way, I get a headache just looking at books like this."

The "grasshopper" couldn't help but glance over at the Herrscher of Reason, only to find her genuinely engrossed in the book.

How strange!

[Herrscher of Reason answered incorrectly, receiving punishment: Herrscher Authority revoked for three days.]

[Description: To a certain Herrscher who fears nothing, stop acting recklessly in the chat group and stealing others' names just because you wield the authority of consciousness.]

Herrscher of Reason: "What?!"

Acting recklessly and stealing others' names.

Did I ever do such a thing?

Oh, you mean that time I swapped names with the old fossil? That was just a joke, why are you taking it seriously, System?

Raiden Mei: "Can Herrscher Authority really be revoked? Can it be stolen too?"

Pardofelis: "That's beyond my scope of knowledge."

Elysia: "Theoretically, it should be impossible. Otherwise, our Previous Era wouldn't have gone to such lengths to develop Divine Keys; we could have just taken them from the Herrschers directly. But in special circumstances, perhaps borrowing a Herrscher's power might be possible."

Kiana: "Little Reason, are you okay?"

Herrscher of Reason: "I'm fine. I borrowed a feather from Feather from the old fossil, so it's temporarily replacing my Herrscher Authority. It's not quite the same, but it'll do for now."

Fu Hua: "Little Reason, when did you do that?"

Immortal Crimson Bird's heart skipped a beat. She immediately checked her body and found that Feather was indeed missing a feather.

Then, she turned her head and saw the Herrscher of Reason playing with Feather.

Herrscher of Reason: "Ah, old fossil, you forgot. I also possess Immortal Crimson Bird's body, so in a way, I am Hua too. It's not strange at all that I can command Feather."

Fu Hua: "Then don't use it for bad deeds."

Herrscher of Reason: "Don't worry, old fossil. Don't you know me? I only ever draw my sword when I see injustice and act on behalf of heaven. How can that be called a bad deed?"

Putting away Feather, the Herrscher of Reason picked up "Zhang San Teaches Fraud Law" again and began to absorb its profound knowledge.

At the same time, the scene being exposed also reacted.

[The screen shows a series of towering and majestic mountain peaks, standing above the clouds. From a distance, they give off a sense of being isolated from the world.

As if it were a dwelling for immortals, untouched by any worldly dust.

"Mount Tai Xu's unique geographical location has resulted in abundant produce and a distinct ecological environment within the mountains."

As the narration continued, the mountain peaks in the screen grew larger and clearer, until the red and white creatures within the mountains became visible.

"Crimson Bird, a rare creature born in Mount Tai Xu, often found in the bushes and grass of the mountains. Its meat is tender, delicious, and provides excellent nourishment for martial artists."

The Crimson Birds foraged in the mountains, prying open stones to reveal blue crystals.

Behind them was a wooden house where an immortal with an ethereal demeanor was sleeping.

"The professional breeder, Immortal Crimson Bird, has been raising Crimson Birds in the mountains for... many years."

The sudden voice woke Immortal Crimson Bird. She walked out to check on the Crimson Birds she was raising.

"Scientific breeding methods, pollution-free food and water, coupled with Immortal Crimson Bird's meticulous selection over many years, have resulted in the excellent quality and rich variety of free-range Crimson Birds in the forest."

Immortal Crimson Bird's farm had all sorts of Crimson Birds.

Square ones, round ones, ones wearing sunglasses, ones exercising, ones taller than the mountain peaks... you name it, they had it.

And things they shouldn't have!

"Just invest a small seed, and you can harvest this wonderful gift from nature the following year."

Immortal Crimson Bird buried a blue crystal in the soil. It then began to grow, and a red comb emerged from the soil.

Immortal Crimson Bird lifted it up, and a live Crimson Bird grew up just like that.

"But occasionally, there are minor accidents."

For example, a cabbage with two buns on its head grew out of a patch of soil nearby. The Crimson Birds stared at it menacingly, and in the next moment, they would tear it apart and devour it. ]

Herrscher of Reason: "Pfft hahaha, old fossil, what are you doing? Old fossil, you're going to make me die of laughter! Hahaha."

Scientific breeding methods, Crimson Bird cultivation techniques.

I can't take it anymore, I can't! The Herrscher of Reason's stomach hurt from laughing. So Immortal Crimson Bird was actually raising Crimson Birds on Mount Tai Xu.

Pardofelis: "Hua, you guarded Shenzhou for five thousand years. You weren't actually raising chickens on the mountain, were you? And they're all so plump and healthy."

Elysia: "No wonder Fu Hua never told me about what happened during her five thousand years guarding Shenzhou. So you were raising Crimson Birds."

Fu Hua: "No, don't listen to its nonsense! This is Immortal Crimson Bird from the Puppet Academy. It has nothing to do with me!"

Embarrassed, Fu Hua felt her persona of guarding Shenzhou for thousands of years had completely collapsed.

Just tell me, what are those fat, impossibly plump chickens... Crimson Birds?

When did she open a farm on Mount Tai Xu? Even a comedic world shouldn't be this chaotic!

Theresa: "Fu Hua, don't be shy. We're not laughing at you. Rather, those Crimson Birds look really delicious... cough I mean, I want to raise one."

Kiana: "I want to raise one too!"

Elysia: "Do you guys really want to raise Crimson Birds?"

Kiana: "Hehe, liking something enough to have it for every meal is also liking it."

Putting aside everything else, just looking at Crimson Bird, raised by Fu Hua, wouldn't that much lean muscle require many more bowls of rice?

Chapter 75: Herrscher of Reason Sets Up a Scam Stall

Pardofelis: "Ah Hua, Sister Hua! Do you think I could raise one too? Can you give me one? Or just tell me where you keep it, the place name is fine."

Fu Hua: "Pardo, why are you like this too?"

Pardofelis: "Ahem, I mainly want to raise a few more to keep Canned Food company. Without other little friends to play with Canned Food, it doesn't eat or sleep all day. Look, Canned Food has gotten skinny from hunger."

Canned Food: "Meow~"

Theresa: "Let me translate that: 'Follow Pardo and you'll be hungry nine meals out of ten!'"

Elysia: "Oh dear, poor Canned Food. Here, I have dried fish. Canned Food, open your mouth."

Canned Food: "Meow~"

The little cat, having been fed, leaped directly into Elysia's arms and nuzzled her cutely to show its happiness.

Elysia: "It feels quite heavy. Felis, where is Canned Food skinny? It must be fat, right?"

Pardofelis: "Hehe, that must be because Canned Food ate again. Canned Food, you naughty cat!"

Canned Food: "Meow!!!"

Herrscher of Reason: "What an interesting fat cat. Pardo, when did you get it? Why do I have no memory of it at all?"

Pardofelis: "Haha, it's because Canned Food only exists in my memory. It doesn't actually exist in reality, so Sister... Little Shi, you wouldn't know her."

Considering the other party's strength, enough to fight with Boss Kevin, Pardo originally wanted to directly cling to the Herrscher of Reason for support.

But upon careful consideration, the Herrscher of Reason was still just a one-year-old child, so she forced herself to change her address.

Pardofelis: "But now she's appearing with me in Death Space, so she definitely exists in reality. Next time, if there's a chance, I'll bring Canned Food to visit Little Shi."
