Chapter 93

Although they jokingly called Fu Hua a fraudster, everyone knew that she was a person who would never do anything that would damage the virtues of the Immortal Crimson Bird.

Besides, didn't those Herrscher of Reason already say that?

She is the [Immortal Crimson Bird], who fought against the Honkai for humanity. Now, allowing her to regain control of her body, or using her power to defeat the Thousand-Man Herrscher, can be considered as fulfilling one of her wishes.

The Herrscher of Reason: "Hmph, considering how many kind words you've said, Old Timer, I'll be magnanimous and forgive you for now."

Fu Hua: "Is that so? That's good."

The Immortal Crimson Bird's hand, which was about to sign the document, suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Fenghuang Down is too dangerous. If it were really handed over to the Herrscher of Reason, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.

Elysia: "Hua, although Little Senti forgiven you, you really need to apologize properly for using someone else's power to gamble."

Chapter 153 Old Timer, You!!!

The Herrscher of Reason, "Gambling? That's an apt description, Old Timer. From now on, you've added another crime to your list: gambling offender!"

If one uses their own power to deal with Thousand-Man Herrscher, their power could be taken away by the opponent at any time.

Isn't that gambling?!

Using your own power to gamble on their ability to defeat Thousand-Man Herrscher? Old Timer, you're utterly despicable!

Fu Hua: "Ahem, I know it's dangerous, that's why I'm discussing this with you."

The Immortal Crimson Bird adopted an extremely humble posture, and she said so many kind words in the scene; wasn't she just trying to have a proper discussion?

She absolutely denies that the power to Herrscher of Sentience can be used for gambling or anything like that!

I've only borrowed their power; I'll repay it once I defeat the Thousand-Man Herrscher.

Pardofelis: "That's right, Little Senti, don't be angry. Hua was just doing a fair trade. She persuaded us for so long, it wasn't like she was robbing us. At most, it's just fraud, she won't get a prison sentence or anything."

The Herrscher of Reason: "What you said... seems to make some sense."

Considering the Old Timer's many kind words, the Herrscher of Reason indicated that she wouldn't mind lending out her power for a while.

[In the scene, Fu Hua waits for the Herrscher of Reason's response after trying to persuade him, but she can't suppress her anxiety.]

Reality didn't give her time for a longer conversation; Bronya and Kiana were both waiting for her help.

If the other party remains undecided, she might have to think of some other methods...

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

The Herrscher of Reason spoke up, his tone much better than before, but he did not immediately agree.

"However, ultimately, this is a mess you created yourself. Whoever causes the trouble should clean it up. If you're so capable, then..."

The attitude of the Herrscher of Reason softened slightly, but reality left her no room for further hesitation.

Fu Hua gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

I'm sorry!

Seizing the moment when the Herrscher of Reason relaxed her guard, Fu Hua reached out and desperately pulled on the iron chain with the immense power of her Immortal Body.

The power surged forth instantly, and although she felt somewhat apologetic, she had no time to spare due to the urgency of the situation.

"Old Timer, you--!!"

The Herrscher of Reason shouted that before it even started, Fu Hua had already vanished with her power, and even the communication had been cut off.

A powerful surge of energy coursed through Fu Hua's body, and she faced the puppets once more, her heart filled with no fear.

"?!!"

Everyone was completely dumbfounded by Fu Hua's amazing moves.

Didn't we agree to a friendly persuasion? Didn't we agree to a scam? This blatant robbery is a bit too much, Fu Hua. I never expected you to be this kind of Immortal Crimson Bird!

The person Herrscher of Reason was so nice; if you had said a few more words, they might have agreed. You had to force them.

Sigh... Everyone can only feel sorry for Herrscher of Sentience for a while.

Not only were they scammed, but their power was also forcibly taken away by Old Timer. They suffered such a huge loss; it's just too tragic.

The Herrscher of Reason: "Fine! Old Timer, I never expected you to be such an Old Timer! Explain yourself, you have to give me an explanation today!"

Originally moved by Fu Hua's words and comforted by everyone, the Herrscher of Reason was in a great mood, now had a gloomy face.

You Old Timer! You were just committing a small-time scam, but I never expected you to actually rob me.

They even considered hiring Kevin to arrest the fraudsters and sentence the Old Timer?

What kind of sentence is this? Drag him out and shoot him! Execute him like a dog!

Fu Hua: "Ahem, I think I can explain a little more..."

Himeko Murata: "Fu Hua, don't explain. We understand your difficulties. The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it!"

Teacher Himeko's expression, which seemed to say, "[Fu Hua, confess, and we'll try to get you a reduced sentence]", made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Especially now that the evidence is overwhelming and she has no way to defend herself.

Kiana: "Class monitor, maybe we should just forget about it. The facts are right in front of us. You should think about how to appease the Herrscher of Reason."

Pardofelis: "Hua, you know I've always been on your side. But in this situation, even if I used all my sales skills, it wouldn't help!"

Danzhu: "Chi Yuan, why don't you just go and apologize obediently? There's nothing we can do to help you."

Cang Xuan: "Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely."

There was nothing they could do; even Danzhu and Cang Xuan felt that Fu Hua had done to the Herrscher of Reason had gone too far.

She's such a young child, how could you possibly think of scamming her, Immortal Crimson Bird?

Couldn't they have chosen someone else?

Fu Hua: "Little Senti, I think..."

The Herrscher of Reason: "I don't care what you think, I care what I think. Old Timer, stop talking nonsense and get me a written agreement!"

The Immortal Crimson Bird stared blankly at the document in her hand, which she had hesitated to sign for so long.

Originally, the above content used Fenghuang Down as collateral to pawn the Herrscher of Reason's authority as compensation. Now, it has been changed to give Fenghuang Down to the Herrscher of Reason unconditionally, with Fu Hua only having the right to rent it.

Furthermore, he must never scam Herrscher of Sentience again, otherwise this Old Timer will be stuck with his flat chest for life, forever only able to fly airplanes.

That's absolutely an unfair contract term, especially the last one.

Fu Hua really didn't want to sign, but the strange looks from all around and the imposing aura of the Herrscher of Reason left her with no choice but to sigh helplessly and obediently sign her name.

The Herrscher of Reason, "Ha! That's more like it, Old Timer! If we'd done this earlier, things would have been so much easier. Here's the written agreement; you can't lie to me like this again!"

Fu Hua: "... Definitely not."

One scam caused Fu Hua to lose even her Fenghuang Down, leaving her penniless. If it happens a few more times, she'll surely lose everything.

Elysia: "Hua's helpless tone makes me very curious about the contents of the agreement. What makes Hua so worried?"

Fu Hua: "No, it's nothing."

The Herrscher of Reason: "Hmph! Then let everyone be my witnesses. From now on, Fenghuang Down is mine, and the Old Timer can never lie to me again, or he'll be flying a plane on a tablet forever."

Bronya: "What does 'flying an airplane on a tablet' mean?"

Bronya doesn't understand, Bronya has absolutely no idea what you people are talking about.

Elysia: "Hahaha, Hua, I never expected you to sign such interesting documents, like flying a plane or something, hahaha."

Danzhu: "Uh..."

Cang Xuan: "It's alright, Chi Yuan, we all believe in you!"

Fu Hua: "I don't think this is anything to laugh about."

Fifty Thousand Years have passed, Fu Hua doesn't feel anything is amiss. Perhaps her physique was already set from the day she became Fusion Warrior.

And isn't this a good thing?

In battle, a slender and agile body, along with streamlined combat techniques, is essential to maximize the effectiveness of one's strength.

The Herrscher of Reason exclaimed, "Oh no!"

Fu Hua: "Little Senti, what's wrong? Did something happen to Fenghuang Down?!"

Chapter 154 Su Joins the Chat Group

Upon hearing the Herrscher of Reason's voice, Fu Hua thought something had happened to her and immediately looked in her direction. However, the Herrscher of Reason was just sitting there playing with the Fenghuang Down.

Herrscher of Reason: "I should have added a clause to the agreement, stating that from now on, no matter what happens, I must listen to Herrscher of Reason."

We lost money.

It's rare to have a chance to work with the Old Timer, but I Herrscher of Reason it slip away. I feel even worse than if I had lost a small amount of money.

Fu Hua: "No matter what, such clauses that violate the spirit of fairness in contracts cannot be recognized, right?"

The Herrscher of Reason: "Huh? Old Timer, you still have the nerve to talk about the spirit of fair contracts? When you were lying to me, why didn't you think of such a thing?"

Fu Hua: "... I apologize, I'll listen to you from now on."

Fu Hua wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt like she was being completely controlled by someone, and by a child at that.

Sure enough, given her upright and honest character, she couldn't possibly do something as shameful as fraud!

In the scene, Fu Hua regained some of her power, not much, but enough.

She severed the threads binding the Thousand-Man Herrscher, rescuing the hostages captured by Herrscher, and was finally able to fight without hesitation.

"What? You can't use that power?"

The Thousand-Man Herrscher was utterly astonished; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't guess where Fu Hua had gotten her Herrscher from.

"Hmm..."

Fu Hua felt a strange sensation within her body, an uncomfortable feeling of something being taken away, leaving her feeling weak all over.

"So that's what it feels like to have your power taken away."

Fu Hua sighed.

She had experienced the pain Bronya had endured before, even though it wasn't her own powers that were taken away.

"How is the Herrscher of Reason doing?" Bronya asked.

"She's fine, it's just that our conversation stopped."

"I never expected her to agree to help you," Bronya exclaimed.

The Herrscher of Reason is such a good child; even in the most dangerous situations, we have to rely on her to turn the tide.

"No, to be precise, she didn't agree."

Fu Hua shook her head. "She was just wavering, but I'm also in a bit of a rush..."

"Huh?!" At this point, Bronya finally understood what Fu Hua meant.

So, you didn't borrow this power at all; you stole it!

"She must be furious right now."

"I will find her and apologize to her properly; that's a problem I must solve. But for now, let's rescue Kiana first."

The two faced off against Thousand-Man Herrscher once more, and the scene ended there.

Raiden Mei: "Class representative, it seems like the power you borrowed has been taken away again."

Everyone was speechless.

When Fu Hua borrowed the power before, she confidently guaranteed that the power would not be taken away and that they would definitely defeat the Thousand-Man Herrscher.

As a result, when he turned around, he was stripped of his Herrscher Authority of Knowledge.

Fu Hua, your reputation is plummeting!

The Herrscher of Reason: "Old Timer, you spendthrift! You took my authority and let a bunch of puppets steal it from you! Didn't you just confidently assure me you could win?!"

Fu Hua: "Uh..."

Fu Hua knew she was doomed; she was now completely unable to clear her name.
