Fu Hua is not easy to deceive

Standing at the entrance of the golden courtyard of St. Freya Academy, a girl in a black and white outfit with simple adornments looked at the door with a mix of sadness and hesitation.

The person who came was none other than Fu Hua.

She had changed her clothes in China, after her original ones got wet. She always felt uncomfortable wearing trendy clothes, they made her feel out of place.

She was glad that she found some clothes that resembled the ones from hundreds of years ago, the people around her complimented her on her choice, saying that she had a unique and elegant style.

They said that she looked like a time traveler, who brought the beauty and grace of the ancient times to the present.

The owner of the clothing store even wanted to take a picture of her for promotion, but Fu Hua politely refused.

She was holding an instrument, and in her arms was a puppet with long black hair and a palace dress. The Book of Fuxi was lying quietly in her arms.

After the matter in China was over, she hurried back.

In the end, she only needed to confirm the safety of the Book of Fuxi.

But she still couldn't help but think about the words of concern Ji Yuanyuan, Fuxi, and Nuwa expressed inside ChiYou's body.

Fu Hua had ventured into the ancient ruins that inside ChiYou's body, where she encountered the lingering 'memories' of her old friend and Ji Yuanyuan, who had transformed into a Stigmata.

"Chi Yuan, we are no longer part of this world. I always have faith that you will find your own companions and your own purpose."

Fuxi said, gazing at Fu Hua with a tender look that was filled with worry and relief.

"By the look on your face, you seem to have achieved it."

"Thank you, but won't you come back with me?" Fu Hua asked with a hint of sadness. She had regained most of her power. Now, there were few who could match her in battle, but her friends were still leaving her, and it seemed that nothing could stop them.

"We only have a handful of memories left in our current state, Chi Yuan; don't be sad; just take it as our final gift to you." Nuwa said with a smile,

"Chi Yuan, by the way, do you still have the clay sculpture I left for you? I put a lot of effort into making it, so you should treasure it!"

Fu Hua let out a sigh as she recalled the discussions about her chest size on the Chinese Internet recently.

The more she thought about it, the more she hoped that Nuwa would never see the online comments in this era.

"Oh, it's gone? Well, it's been such a long time, and we don't have high hopes anymore…" Nuwa assumed that the sculpture had been lost, so she tried to console Fu Hua.

" No… The clay sculpture is still in one piece, but it's not with me. Just do me a favor and don't ask about it." Fu Hua said with a bit of frustration.

"Since you are doing well, Chi Yuan, we can leave in peace. Farewell, Chi Yuan…" Fuxi and Nuwa said, as they exchanged a glance.

"But what if there is a chance for you to survive?" Fu Hua asked, still holding on to some hope.

"There is no point in wasting your energy on us. Besides, we are not the same as the memory inside courtyard. We are just a remnant of it."

Fu Hua did not say anything more, but she had already made up her mind, She reached for her waist.

She faced Ji Yuanyuan, who had been corrupted by the Honkai, Ji Yuanyuan could not put up any resistance against her, and the spiteful and cruel words that came out of her mouth did not shake Fu Hua's resolve.

She only felt a pang of sadness and regret that she was unable to save her friend back then.

After a series of battles, Ji Yuanyuan finally regained a moment of clarity and said, "Chi Yuan, kill me. I can't hold back the evil thoughts that have accumulated for thousands of years."

Ji Yuanyuan spoke in a weak voice, then smiled, "But, it's really a pleasant surprise to see you one last time. Don't listen to her. Chi Yuan, I never hated you."

her eyes were complex and a bit wistful. "You always did the right thing."

"Go ahead." Ji Yuanyuan looked like she was ready to die, and she stopped fighting back.

" Sigh…" Fu Hua let out a sigh and made a choice.

...

Mobius heard her story and looked at her with confusion. "So, you didn't do anything?"

Fu Hua turned her head away, not wanting to discuss this topic any further.

Elysia noticed the awkward atmosphere and tried to ease it with a smile. "Oh, I'm sorry, Hua, I mean, Fu Hua, I almost got confused because there are two Hua here."

"Fu Hua is very thoughtful of her old friends, and she's not good at making tough choices either!"

Mobius held the instrument in his hand and looked at it with curiosity. "Then why did you give me the instrument? You could have used it for Vill-V instead."

"No, I brought them back with me." Fu Hua said in a strained voice, avoiding the gaze of flame-chaser.

She explained that after some consideration, she decided that if Thirteen flame-chasers showed up, she might be able to restore her former friends.

For an immortal who has never been deceived before, this is the first time she has used Phoenix Down, her so called mental weapon.

She just wants to say, Phoenix Down is so easy to use!

" Uh…" Elysia was a little flustered when she heard this. She walked around Fu Hua twice in astonishment and examined her closely, as if she recognized the person in front of her.

The others nearby were also very shocked, and the most shocked among them was Hua. Her eyes bulged, her mouth gaped, and she couldn't accept that this was her own self.

Mobius stared blankly at Fu Hua, who was acting nonchalant. She felt that her perception of Hua had to be revised. Even though she looked awkward now, it was obvious that she had no remorse and even enjoyed doing it.

"So that's why Hua is so bad at lying now! Can she actually lie to others now?"

"Damn it, I thought she was easy to fool! I have to come up with a different plan."

"Doctor?" Fu Hua asked,

"Ah, ahem," Mobius snapped out of her thoughts and said with a smile on her face.

"Alright, Fu Hua, I get it. But, about Fuxi and Nuwa, please wait a bit. Their memory is very fragile. Ji Xuanyuan stigmata is easier to handle. You just have to persuade her to let go of her past and live in the present."

" Well…" Fu Hua was unsure. She really wanted the three of them to come out together. It would be difficult to convince her if she was by herself. "Then, doctor, why can't we do it now?"

"Haha, one reason is that they need some time to adjust, and the other reason…" Mobius stopped at this point and looked up at the upper floor with a gleam in her eyes.

They had been working on this for so long; it was finally time!

"That's right! Today, we will dismantle the key of erosion,"

Vill-V appeared from the side, with steam gears wrapped around her body. She carefully took out a box, which was rectangular, not too small, and had an ancient look.

"The greatest genius of this century will dismantle the God Key from the previous era. Oh, and Fu Hua, you should be there too, just in case something goes wrong. If it wasn't for the memory issue and the potential changes in fifty thousand years, I wouldn't have to prepare for so long!"

Vill-V was unhappy with the fact that she had spent almost a week on it and complained angrily: Why did she have to prepare so much to deal with her own creation?

"Are you done? Mobius asked,

"Of course. Do you think I would come out if I wasn't done?"

Vill-V was full of self-confidence. She glanced at the instrument that Fu Hua was holding and said casually,

"As for that thing in your hand, don't worry about it for now. It's not going to cause any trouble. The big project is next on the agenda!"
