Chapter 102: Holidays at Mount Taixu

Name change and the reason at the end.

----

On the plane to Shenzhou, Fu Hua switched the driving mode to automatic, then turned back and glanced at Ji Lin who was unconscious in the back seat.

Although she has been around for nearly five thousand years, Fu Hua is not an antique who can't keep up with modern times. With her vast knowledge, she can do some scientific research and flying a fighter jet is naturally no problem.

Fu Hua's eyes focused on Ji Lin's quiet and beautiful sleeping face. The corners of her mouth unconsciously raised into a smile. She checked that Ji Lin's body was not seriously damaged and her Honkai energy was abundant. It appeared to be more a case of conscious exhaustion.

Therefore, Fu Hua took Ji Lin away from Saint Freya without delay. Ji Lin couldn't be handed over to Saint Freya; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to the dean and others about her physique, which was almost that of a Herrscher. More importantly, Otto might take an interest in such a unique existence.

Fu Hua was determined to protect Ji Lin. The best way to do so was to keep her away from Otto.

Don't let him see her, let alone touch her!

"Old friend, I heard that you took Ms. Ji Lin back to Mount Taixu to heal her. How is she? Do you need my help?"

At this moment, the voice of a familiar archbishop, Otto, sounded in the cabin.

Fu Hua's heart trembled, and she sighed secretly. She turned around and saw Otto's elegant smile on the monitor.

"I'm taking her back to recuperate, so you don't need to worry about her, Otto."

"Is that so? That's good. Also, I heard from Durandal that Ms. Ji Lin's power is extraordinary?"

"... Don't worry, she won't be your enemy."

"I know, of course I believe you, my old friend."

But I don't believe you.

Fu Hua thought as she looked at Otto on the screen with a wooden face and indifferent expression. Otto naturally understood Fu Hua's apprehension and said with some resentment:

"Old friend, you always doubt me like this, which makes me a little sad. But who makes you my only old friend? For your sake, I won't touch her. I'll let Rita do part-time surveillance on K423 for the time being, and you can have a good rest."

"Thank you. Also, regarding Welt, since it's in front of Saint Freya, I can't take action, or it will expose my identity."

"I understand. There's no need to mention such a small matter. Welt's issue was just a test; it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not. Naturally, K423 is more critical."

"Okay. When Ji Lin recovers, I will continue to complete my mission. You can rest assured about Kiana."

Fu Hua made a statement.

In most cases, Otto is still easy to get along with. If he is willing to promise not to touch Ji Lin, Fu Hua naturally has to reciprocate.

"Well, tell me if you need anything. You know, I'm probably the only one in the world who can help with technical matters. I won't bother you anymore. I wish you a happy vacation, old friend!"

"I appreciate it. Goodbye."

Fu Hua cut off the communication, and a little relaxation appeared on her usually stern face.

...

The fighter jet produced by Schicksal is naturally very fast and can completely ignore the air defense systems of secular countries. Fu Hua arrived at Mount Taixu at dawn.

Mount Taixu is covered by the hidden technology of the previous civilization, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to enter.

After passing through what seemed like an ordinary mountain forest, a quiet and lonely peak with beautiful scenery stood in the clouds. The narrow and long stone steps led directly to the top of the mountain.

Fu Hua parked the fighter outside the ancient mansion, gently lifted Ji Lin's soft and light body, and carried her into the house, inhaling the slight sandalwood fragrance.

Although the sky was about to brighten, Fu Hua felt tired after a day of hard work, especially after the battle with Ji Lin.

So, after gently placing Ji Lin on the wooden bed, Fu Hua thought it was time for her to take a nap.

They were all girls, so theoretically it was no problem for Fu Hua to lie on the bed, as there was enough space. However, after her eyes swept over Ji Lin's petite but graceful figure, and then her quiet and soft sleeping face, and her eyes lingered on her pink lips for a moment—Fu Hua made a bed on the floor and slept at the foot of the bed.

"What am I thinking about?"

Fu Hua pulled up the quilt, half-covering her face, and was a little confused about why she hesitated and was careful just now.

It should be just for politeness, right?

Fu Hua thought blankly and then fell asleep.

In her dream, the girl in red who bravely defeated darkness and loneliness for her smiled at her as sweet as honey.

...

"Hmm!"

Fu Hua opened her eyes at dusk, looked at the dimming light in the room, hugged the warmth in her arms, felt the fatigue of her body swept away, and immediately felt refreshed.

Wait!

Soft, warm, and with a pleasant smell—what am I holding?

Fu Hua lowered her head belatedly, and sure enough, she saw Ji Lin lying on her side curled up in her arms, like a cute little white cat growing out of the quilt.

"Ying Ning! Jingwei, good morning~~"

Soon, the girl in her arms made a sweet moan that softened her bones and woke up rubbing her eyes.

The tender and fair little face showed a bit of attractive reddish color, and the skin was so crystal clear that some fine blue veins underneath could be clearly seen.

Water lilies emerge from clear water, naturally carved.

There is a beauty here, suspected to be a fairy from heaven.

Fu Hua's heart moved, and an exceptionally gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Good morning! No, it should be good evening, Ji Lin."

Fu Hua hugged the petite girl in her arms a little harder, rubbing her silky black hair, and felt a sense of comfort in her heart.

I am finally not alone.

Angel in Saint Freya is naturally very important as a disciple.

But Ji Lin is different. She is a long-time friend, someone who is truly familiar with Fu Hua, and someone who can understand and identify with Fu Hua.

Ji Lin is special and unique now.

Fu Hua thought about this and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Jingwei, I'm hugging you a little tight. I'm not complaining about your figure—you still have it, and your body is soft, but I'm having trouble breathing."

"Ah, sorry—wait, what's wrong with my figure?"

"Pfft! Just like before, you don't care on the surface, but in fact, when Nuwa complains about your figure, your eyes will change!"

"... Your bad!"

Fu Hua patted Ji Lin's head speechlessly. Ji Lin stuck out her tongue and smiled slyly.

Then the two got up, Fu Hua tidied up the floor mat, and Ji Lin walked around the house, occasionally looking under the table and on top of the cabinet. After a while, Ji Lin showed Fu Hua the dust on her index finger and said:

"It's very different from the room I remember, and it's covered with dust. Have you not cleaned it for a while?"

"It's normal for it to change. After all, five thousand years have passed. As for the dust, it's mainly because I rarely come back in recent years, so it's inevitable that there will be some. Let's not talk about that for now. I just saved a can of Chunbulao before the New Year. I'll go cook a pot of rice. You just have to make do with it tonight."

"Oh, then Jingwei, you go cook and I'll do the cleaning. Hehe, in order to train me to control my strength and not destroy things around me, you made me do the cleaning for a long time!"

"Did I do a thing like that? You don't have to force yourself. After all, you just came back. If you are tired, just rest. I'll go cook."

When Fu Hua returned to the house with the rice cooker and Chunbulao, the house was brand new, but the lights were flickering on and off. The residence of immortals must also be grounded, so there is electricity here, with generators and complete electrical equipment.

However, the flickering of the light was not due to a malfunction, but because Ji Lin was standing by the switch, curiously pressing it again and again, with an extremely curious expression.

"Jingwei Jingwei, look at this thing, it's so magical, it can actually control the light!"

"Alas, it seems that I have to teach you the common sense of modern life first."

Fu Hua smiled helplessly.

However, looking at the clean and tidy house, and then looking at the elf-like girl in red in the house, Fu Hua felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but feel that this Mount Taixu, which was familiar to the bones, seemed to have become different.

(Here thereon, Jixuanyuan is reverted to Ji Lin(姬麟)which is how she was called in Chinese in Honkai. The first reason is because in the next chapters, which would complicate the name later. The second is the name is too mouth full even for a name in Honkai and it's also related to the first reason.

Though I'm not gonna do it on Fuxi and Nuwa, which is not really bothersome to revert. Though it's also part of these cases where their names in chinese don't actually match up in actual Honkai fashion, as like Fuxi and Nuwa are actually named Cangxuan and Danzhu in Chinese and actually don't corelate to the names, and you can see it in other chinese Honkai fanfics. Either an author complaining about it or actually describing it.)

(Ofc you guys can also provide info about this if I'm right or wrong as I really can't see any discussion about this.)
