Hearing Haru's vivid imitation...
Elysia's face immediately puffed up like a bun as she said huffily:
"Bad Haru, you're actually using the fairy's words against the fairy!"
"Hehe, this is called using someone's own method against them."
Haru said with a grin, reaching out to pinch Elysia's cheeks.
This little fairy always wanted to support him, trying to use soft rice to corrupt his will and make this good man fall into a pretty boy who could only depend on women.
But how could someone as principled as him let Elysia's scheme succeed!
Previously when Haru didn't earn much money, lacking confidence, he could only let Elysia tease him, but now that he had been promoted with a raise, it was time for the offense and defense to switch!
"Hmph, although your salary increase is something to celebrate, it's still not as high as the fairy's income."
Elysia quickly thought of a counterattack, patting Haru's shoulder with a smug tone: "If you want to support the fairy instead, you still need to work harder!"
"I believe that will happen soon."
Haru said boldly while clearing the dishes.
The gaming industry was quite profitable.
As long as Bronya really gave him dividends, he could directly copy various hit games from his previous life, beat Anti-Entropy and kick Schicksal. Surpassing Elysia, this big internet celebrity, wouldn't be a problem then.
"The future is uncertain. I think you shouldn't work hard and should just obediently lie in the fairy's arms and live off her!"
Elysia hugged Haru from behind, smiling with crescent eyes.
Haru stood at the sink, ignoring the soft, delicate body pressed against him, washing both their dishes clean before responding faintly:
"Are you trying to tell me what to do?!"
"I wouldn't dare, but if you want to tough it out with soft rice, the fairy welcomes it anytime~♪"
Elysia blinked, picking up Haru's meme reference, then as if thinking of something, changed the topic.
"Speaking of which, your current boss is Hua's classmate, but we haven't seen Hua in a while. How about we visit Hua this weekend?"
"Fu Hua..."
The image of a gray-haired, green-eyed girl in traditional costume floated in Haru's mind.
In Shenzhou there lives an immortal, peerless and independent.
In one of the past loops, he had also dated Fu Hua, even bowing to heaven and earth and consummating their marriage in the Herrscher of Sentience's illusion, becoming properly married.
Haru had liked many Valkyries, and each Valkyrie brought him different emotions, different kinds of love.
Among all the Valkyries...
Fu Hua was definitely the one with whom he had the most complex relationship.
As an immortal who had guarded Shenzhou for thousands of years, Fu Hua had a tranquil, ethereal quality. When Haru first met Fu Hua, he was thoroughly amazed.
In the Schicksal organization where most were foreigners, suddenly encountering a Valkyrie who was both immortal and chivalrous with maxed-out Chinese cultural elements naturally gave Haru a sense of kinship.
However, Fu Hua's personality was rigid and methodical, like a piece of wood when it came to romantic matters.
Because of this, although they became good friends, neither Haru nor Fu Hua had thoughts of going further.
Until an accident let them break through that barrier.
It was from that loop that Haru understood that even iron trees would bloom, and immortals could develop mortal feelings.
You know what, dating Fu Hua felt quite unique—there was a sense of achievement in gradually corrupting a heavenly maiden who knew nothing of love.
It was just that the ending of that loop wasn't very good.
Even though he had destroyed World Serpent in advance, used schemes to prevent Kevin from returning from the Sea of Quanta, helped Theresa seize Otto's position as Schicksal's Archbishop, found ways to prevent Kiana from losing control and becoming the Herrscher of Finality, and unified most of Earth's forces...
Even having done so much, he still couldn't defeat Honkai.
Facing the newly appeared Herrscher of Finality, humanity gave everything they had and only lasted three days.
After three days, the aftermath of the battle with the Herrscher of Finality completely destroyed Earth, leaving only Fu Hua, who survived through Garuda's immortality, and him as the only two living people.
Standing on the shattered planet, Fu Hua burned all of her fifty thousand years and unleashed her final Taixu Sword God, with power that even exceeded Kevin's full strength. Haru also didn't plan to live alone and self-destructed immediately after.
Sigh, the Herrscher of Finality was really too overpowered!
If not for being able to retain memories in loops and repeatedly trial-and-error, Haru really couldn't think of any civilization that could defeat it on first encounter.
Getting off track—let's talk about Fu Hua again...
In this timeline, Fu Hua was no longer the Red Kite Immortal who had guarded Shenzhou for thousands of years, but lived an ordinary life, inheriting her family's martial arts school after graduating from St. Freya Academy.
Such a life was good.
The immortal's responsibility was too heavy, and everything Fu Hua had experienced was too cruel... Now that she could live plainly like an ordinary girl might not be a kind of happiness.
Haru sighed inwardly, then his eyes flickered slightly.
"Speaking of Fu Hua, I remember she's been dragged around the country by Little Senti recently, right?"
"Something like that."
Elysia took out her phone to check and nodded: "Hua never posts on social media and isn't online much, but from Little Senti's posts, these two should be at Mount Wudang now."
"Mount Wudang? With Little Senti's personality, she wouldn't be planning to spar with the Taoists there, would she?"
Haru's mouth twitched with an ominous premonition.
The Herrscher of Sentience had become Fu Shi in this timeline—Fu Hua's sister—but her personality hadn't changed. She was still that healthy-smiled troublemaker.
"Ahaha, looks like they've already sparred."
Elysia handed Haru her phone. Little Senti had posted a video showing Fu Hua helplessly leaping down a 19-meter cliff with a Taoist, demonstrating their qinggong skills.
The Wudang Taoist used three steps to land somewhat awkwardly, while Fu Hua used only two steps to land as lightly as a feather.
The victor was clear at a glance.
Little Senti also made a modest gesture at the end of the video, with three parts humility and seven parts smugness, saying the Wudang Taoists had real skills, but their Taixu Martial Arts School was slightly superior.
"Seeing Hua and Little Senti, the fairy sometimes wonders if cultivators really exist in this world. Their skills are truly beyond imagination."
Elysia said with some envy.
Walking on walls and roofs was really too cool. If she could do such things and carry an elegant, beautiful longbow, she'd be almost like an elf from fairy tales.
"Indeed, that kung fu is a bit too impressive."
Haru looked at Fu Hua in the video, showing a relieved smile.
In a world without Honkai, he and Kevin had become ordinary office workers with average physical capabilities, while Fu Hua's martial arts remained transcendent, unmatched in this world.
The girl was no longer Shenzhou's immortal, but still the peerless martial artist supreme under heaven!
