"Sword, come!"
However, Fu Shi reacted almost instantly. The moment the phone was tossed, she leapt like a nimble leopard, stepping on a sheathed blade and shooting out like an arrow.
----------------------------------
Elysia looked up at the departing figure of Fu Shi, her heart filled with curiosity, and couldn't help but ask, "You really threw away Fu Shi's phone? What kind of video made you, Fu Lin, act so secretive?"
Fu Lin heard Elysia's question, slowly withdrew his gaze, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted into a subtle smile. He then shook the phone in his hand and softly said, "Hahaha, of course not. As for the video, it won't exist for much longer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Lin quickly lowered his head and began searching through Fu Shi's photo album.
His fingers slid rapidly across the screen, and before long, he found the video he was looking for.
After confirming it was the right one, Fu Lin didn't hesitate to tap the delete button. Watching the video disappear from the phone, a triumphant smile crept back onto his face.
However, Fu Lin didn't stop there.
He continued searching through the phone, and after carefully checking to make sure there were no backups or hidden files, he finally let out a relieved sigh, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Just as he thought everything was done and Fu Shi wouldn't be back for a while, a faint whooshing sound suddenly rang out.
The next second, Fu Shi appeared in front of him like a ghost, glaring at him with a resentful expression and said sternly, "You actually used a diversion to trick me away?! Damn you, Fu Lin, give me back my phone!"
Fu Lin was startled by Fu Shi's sudden appearance. He smiled awkwardly, quickly handed the phone back to her, and muttered, "Here, here. Don't be mad, okay?"
Fu Shi took the phone and immediately began searching through it, her slender fingers sliding rapidly across the screen, eyes fixed intently as if looking for something important.
Seeing the video had been deleted, Fu Shi started to mutter internally,
'Tch, he actually deleted it? Could he have forgotten what I said back in Chapter 22?
No, Fu Lin has that "hyperthymesia" like an old antique, so he just didn't think of it.
'Aiya, even if Fu Lin wasted his efforts, I still need to teach him a lesson, otherwise, he'll think I'm easy to mess with~'
Thinking this, Fu Shi slowly looked up and glared at Fu Lin, her face forming a fearsome expression.
Fu Lin's face changed slightly at the sight, and he stepped back a few paces, seemingly trying to maintain some distance.
However, Fu Shi didn't give him that chance, closing in step by step, leaving Fu Lin scrambling.
Elysia, meanwhile, covered her mouth and giggled, teasing, "Aiya, Fu Lin, looks like you're in big trouble now."
Faced with Fu Shi's relentless pursuit, Fu Lin didn't panic. He dodged nimbly while smiling and explaining, "I did it to protect my glorious image, of course! How could I let that kind of video exist in the world?"
His tone was light, clearly not taking Fu Shi's threats seriously. But Fu Shi wasn't about to let it go, chasing Fu Lin all over the place, shouting, "Fu Lin! Give me back the video, or I won't let you off!!!"
Soon, Fu Shi ran right up to Fu Lin and activated her "super angry" mode, raising her sheathed blade and swinging it at him.
Fu Lin quickly dodged to the side, staring dumbfounded at Fu Shi while pleading, "Fu Shi, don't be rash! I was wrong, okay? I was wrong!"
"Hmph! Now you know you're wrong? Too late!"
Fu Shi continued chasing and attacking Fu Lin mercilessly.
Elysia laughed so hard on the side that she held her belly, doubled over,
"Aiya, this is just too funny! Fu Shi, go get him~ Fu Lin, you better run faster~"
Mei☆ watched the cat-and-mouse scene between Fu Lin and Fu Shi, her eyes full of confusion, muttering to herself, "What kind of video could make both Fu Lin and Fu Shi care so much?"
Kiana☆ nearby seemed to see through Mei☆'s thoughts and mockingly said, "Heh, best if you don't know. Seeing it would just leave you itching but unable to get any. I'm different though, when I want it, I go for it."
Mei☆, "..." Is that video even proper? I'm getting more curious!
At that moment, Kallen and Otto were drawn over by the commotion.
Kallen looked at the chaotic scene in front of her, her gaze finally landing on Fu Hua nearby. With a face full of suspicion, she asked, "Otto, why are there three Celestial Immortals here?"
Before Otto could answer, a pink figure suddenly burst into everyone's sight.
That figure rushed in like lightning and dove into Kallen's arms, then like a fox spirit, buried her head in Kallen's neck and gently sniffed, before shouting excitedly, "Kallen, it's really you!"
Kallen was startled by the sudden hug. But when she saw the person's face, her pupils shrank and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
She slowly raised her hand, her fingers hesitantly reaching out, as if wanting to touch the person in front of her but uncertain, unwilling to believe it.
Finally, her hand stopped mid-air, just a few centimeters away, her eyes fixed tightly on the other's face, filled with complex emotions, hesitation, disbelief, and an unspeakable sense of anticipation.
"Sakura...?" Sakura looked at Kallen's trembling hand, as if it too was unsure.
So she gently held Kallen's hand and slowly placed it on her own cheek, feeling the warmth in Kallen's palm, warm and familiar.
She closed her eyes slightly, savoring the peace and tenderness of the moment.
When Kallen realized the person in front of her was truly Sakura, a radiant smile bloomed on her face, full of emotions, surprise, joy, and a sense of relief.
"You're okay, that's such a relief! I thought you..." Reunited at last, Kallen's voice choked with emotion, clearly on the verge of tears.
In that moment, time seemed to freeze. Everything around them blurred, with only the two of them standing out clearly.
Drawn by an invisible bond, the two slowly leaned into each other and embraced tightly.
However, as this touching scene unfolded, Otto stood frozen in place, helplessly watching Kallen and Sakura hold each other.
Even Fu Lin and Fu Shi, who were chasing each other just moments ago, stopped in their tracks and turned their gazes toward Kallen and Sakura, their eyes filled with teasing curiosity.
Fu Lin smirked and walked over to Otto, gently patted his shoulder, then pulled out a hat from his coat and placed it on Otto's head.
"I'll just leave this green hat here with you."
With his face covered by the hat, Otto seemed completely cloaked in shadow, making it impossible to see his true emotions.
Yet from his trembling fists and clenched teeth, it was clear to others that he was full of unwillingness.
Fu Shi also walked to Otto's other side, her voice soft but firm, gently advising, "Come back to Gotham. Batman says he won't hit you anymore."
Suddenly, a tragic and stirring melody began to play, as if mourning endless sorrow and pain.
At the same time, snowflakes slowly began to fall from above Otto's head.
Snow drifting~ Cold winds blowing~
Heaven and earth~ vast and desolate~
A plum blossom~ standing proud in the snow~
Only for, her fragrance lingering~
Fu Lin was startled by the sudden music.
He snapped his head around and spotted the dragon in the distance, carrying a speaker. He shouted loudly, "Who told you to play music? Turn it off now!"
Dragon, "Isn't it just to set the mood~"
