"Oh dear." Fu Hua sighed, looking at Elysia, who was sleeping on the table.
hundred-fruit brew, while tasting like juice, was indeed alcohol.
And it was a high-proof alcohol.
It was just that the fruit flavor completely masked the taste of the alcohol; it wasn't gone.
"Miss Li, you should come out and eat with us too." Fu Hua said towards the screen beside her.
"That would be impolite." Miss Li walked out from behind the screen.
"Here with me, you don't need to worry about formalities. After all, you don't owe me anything. You're willing to let me rest here and provide delicious food; I'm already indebted to you." Fu Hua said, looking at Miss Li.
"Then, I won't stand on ceremony." After speaking, Miss Li sat down directly and immediately picked up the wine pot to pour herself a cup.
"I've been craving this fruit wine for a long time, but my family never let me touch it." Miss Li said, taking a small sip.
"It's delicious indeed!"
"Mm, hundred-fruit brew. It's been a long time since I've had it." Fu Hua also took a small sip with a hint of nostalgia.
Although she didn't know how long it had been since she last drank it, and her memory was very blurry, it was indeed a good wine.
She felt her body lighten up considerably.
"Fu Hua, is this companion of yours your new disciple?" Miss Li looked at Elysia beside her.
"Her? No, she's not my disciple." Fu Hua shook her head.
"She's not Fu Hua's disciple?" Miss Li said in surprise.
"Why do you all think she's my disciple?" Fu Hua asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Because Fu Hua, you've never brought outsiders back to Mount Taixu before!" Miss Li said directly, "And in the Valkyrie branch, there's an even more outrageous version circulating."
Saying this, Miss Li took out her phone and let Fu Hua see the news circulating on the branch's internal website.
Looking at the photos on the website, they were of her just after getting off the plane and while she was in the car.
She hadn't expected that girl to post the photos on the internal website.
"So, could it be that Fu Hua's relationship with this girl is just as the website claims?!" Miss Li looked at Fu Hua with a shocked expression.
"You're overthinking it. It's just that she resembles an old friend of mine. I brought her to Mount Taixu to retrieve something, and then I have a mission to carry out." Fu Hua shook her head.
"Is that so? Then, do you need me to help you dispel the rumors on the website, Fu Hua?"
"No need. Just let nature take its course." Fu Hua said.
"Let nature take its course? All right, Fu Hua." Miss Li said while eating.
"I'll send Elysia back to her room first, and then I'll prepare some snacks for her." After Fu Hua finished speaking, she directly picked up Elysia and walked out.
After carrying Elysia back to her room, Fu Hua stood in the courtyard, looking at Mount Taixu.
This place, in her own memory, was also a particularly blurry one; she only knew she had lived here for a very long time.
She also didn't know how many memories she could retrieve this time.
As for the mission given by Otto, she would consider it after retrieving some of her memories.
Mount Taixu at night seemed to glow, with the surrounding clouds and mist creating a particularly mesmerizing feeling.
After wandering for a while, Fu Hua returned to her room.
For now, it was better to get enough rest, as she was currently unsure what she might encounter on Mount Taixu.
As for Elysia, she woke up in the middle of the night.
After waking up, she only felt her body light and airy.
Now, she also knew what the 'juice' she drank last night truly was.
She hadn't expected it to be fruit wine.
But it clearly had no taste of alcohol at all.
Recalling the taste of that fruit wine, Elysia still wanted another glass.
During dinner, she really lost out, not getting to eat the delicious food.
Looking at the snacks on the bedside table, Elysia picked one up and put it in her mouth.
After finishing the snacks, Elysia lay on the bed, looking at the night sky outside the window, without a hint of sleepiness.
After watching for a while, Elysia decided to take a walk in the courtyard.
Standing in the courtyard, looking at the large mountain nearby, Elysia felt her emotions were now very calm.
Standing in the courtyard, Elysia suddenly felt her surroundings change.
It was clearly deep night, but now it was very bright.
Then, beside Elysia, another person appeared.
"Hua?"
"Mm, but, it's another her." Saying this, Hua reached out and touched Elysia's forehead.
Elysia suddenly looked at Hua with some horror.
It was her! Every night when she fell asleep, she saw her!
She wouldn't let her get a good night's sleep every night.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Hua said with a smile.
"Um, Hua, I'm not sleeping right now, am I?" Elysia said cautiously.
"Mm, I know." Hua nodded.
"You know, and you still came out?!" Elysia protested.
"I never said I would only appear in your dreams." Hua said.
"But… but…" Elysia stammered, "No, you usually don't come out like this. What do you want to do by coming out like this today?"
Elysia stared at Hua warily, afraid she might suddenly spring a surprise training session on her.
"Just came out to look at Mount Taixu." Hua stretched her hand towards Mount Taixu.
"I didn't expect her to bring you to Mount Taixu now."
"Is there anything special about Mount Taixu?" Elysia asked curiously, also looking at Mount Taixu.
But no matter how Elysia looked, she felt that Mount Taixu, apart from looking more ethereal, had nothing special about it.
"In Mount Taixu, there are her memories, or rather, there are existences similar to me." Hua said.
"Existences like you?" Elysia was stunned for a moment. "Are you Hua's memories that have gained sentience?"
"You know about the Fenghuang Down's existence." Hua sighed.
"Yes, I know the Fenghuang Down, so what?" Elysia reached up and touched her head.
"I, including those on Mount Taixu, are just one of the Fenghuang Down's feathers." Hua sighed.
"Oh, by the way, it's better to use the power of Erosion on your body less; it's not good for your health." Hua reminded, "Or rather, when you use it, don't let others think it's your own power."
Saying this, Hua looked at the necklace on Elysia's chest.
That necklace could be said to be the manifestation of Elysia's Erosion ability, and there were currently three people living inside the necklace.
Therefore, whether it was the previous one or this one, Elysia was always so attractive, always making people accept her unknowingly.
Following Hua's gaze, Elysia picked up her necklace and looked at it.
This necklace, wasn't it her weapon? Did Hua mean that when she used her authority, she should hold her weapon?
Making others mistake her weapon for a Divine Key that had never appeared?
It seemed like it wasn't impossible!
Someone's thought process, although not knowing the truth of the matter, still found the substitute Hua spoke of.
Regarding the patterns on the necklace, she knew that the colors represented whose power, but Elysia still didn't know that there were several people living inside her necklace.
