"Master, have some tea."
"Oh."
Fu Hua took the tea in the paper cup, sniffed the tea's fragrance, and turned her head to look at the floating clouds outside the window.
The seat was spacious and comfortable, a first-class ticket. Next to her was a travel pillow, noise-canceling headphones, an eye mask, and other items to ensure a good sleep.
Everything was fine, but Fu Hua felt a little confused.
Originally, she had planned to arrange everything in the itinerary carefully, like a responsible elder, so that Angel could spend the journey comfortably. Then, things unknowingly got out of her control.
"Master, I've already picked the flight. The car is over there. Let's go."
"Ah? When did you book it? ....ok."
"Master, look over there. The sunrise at this angle is featured in the travel guide!"
"Ah? Oh. It's really beautiful, really..."
"Master, I've ordered a meal. Let's go eat. This way."
"Oh..."
"Master, let's pick this snack as a souvenir. Senior Ji Lin will definitely like it."
"..."
"Master, I've checked in the luggage. Go this way to board the plane!"
"..."
That's how Fu Hua was led all the way onto the plane. The roles of adult and child have been reversed from the start.
Fu Hua drank a sip of tea, turned her head, looked at Angel flipping through a magazine seriously, and then swallowed her saliva uncontrollably.
It was so scary!
It was just like the monster in the Far East legend who kept a man by its side forever by satisfying all his needs!
Angel, has the terrifying ability to turn the people around her into her dependents without realizing it! What's more terrifying is that she seems unaware and does it naturally!
"Himeko, I hope you're okay when we go back..."
Kiana is okay, after all, with Raiden Mei taking care of her, her food, clothing, housing, and transportation are guaranteed.
But Himeko was the closest contact with Angel and is the most deeply affected by her abilities, Fu Hua is a little afraid to think about it.
"Master, what are you talking about?"
"No, just... well, I'm just thinking about the next itinerary."
"Don't worry, Master, it will be night when the plane lands, and I have prepared a place to stay and dinner. After a comfortable night's sleep, I prepared a Hummer and will drive directly to the foot of Mount Taixu... By the way, I haven't considered it yet. Master, do you plan to go somewhere else? I can change the plan now."
Angel blinked her watery purple eyes, and her cute and well-behaved appearance made people feel soft in their hearts.
And Fu Hua twitched the corners of her mouth.
"No, let's follow your arrangement. You did a great job."
It was so great that it was a little scary!
Fu Hua wanted to praise her, but she always felt something was off.
How did this kind of character, which is ready to completely take care of everyone around her, come about?
It must have been a heart-wrenching loss before, so now she wants to protect the people she cares about as much as possible, and only then would she have this morbid desire to take care of them?
Because Fu Hua had been thinking about the suffering Angel had endured, she unconsciously thought in this direction, and the logic made sense to her, feeling that the truth was like this. She even imagined some clear pictures:
The little girl who lost her parents, bullied in darkness, pain, and despair, crying and trembling, but finding no support. Then, someone finally reached out and gave her warmth again.
Isn't it natural for Angel to persist and do everything she can to keep this warmth?
But the warmth that Angel tried so hard to protect included the person responsible for the disaster in Nagazora.
How could the simple, weak, innocent, and pitiful Angel bear this?
Fu Hua's eyes gradually softened, filled with incomparable tenderness and love.
"Master, you... what's wrong with you? Your expression is weird, and your eyes seem... weird?" Angel suddenly trembled uncontrollably and shrank her neck weakly.
Although she didn't know what Fu Hua was thinking, Angel felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle.
Fu Hua shook her head and stroked Angel's head very gently, as if touching a precious and fragile rare treasure, and spoke. "You have worked hard all the time, Angel."
"Ah?"
"Master will protect you, so don't be afraid no matter what happens, understand?"
"Master?"
Angel looked at Fu Hua blankly. After a moment, although she still didn't understand why, since Fu Hua had expressed her opinion, Angel could only hug her with emotion.
"Well, thank you, Master!"
Angel clenched her hands. She could hear Fu Hua's seriousness, so she smiled happily.
...
Book of Fuxi has a good business sense.
Or it's that she is very smart and can quickly adapt to the rules of the new era and find suitable business opportunities. Then, relying on the special status of Mount Taixu, she dealt with major forces such as Schicksal, World Serpent, and Shenzhou Officials, taking advantage of the situation to start, and quickly grew, soon developing a large-scale business map.
The benefits of the information age are here. Such growth rate is unimaginable in the feudal era.
However, she is also very clear about her disadvantages. First of all, Mount Taixu pursues isolation, and there is no manpower available in the core layer.
At the same time, the Immortal Phoenix she serves, to put it nicely, she is transcendent and independent, and to put it bluntly, she is a blockhead.
Whether it is the reality foundation or the strategic direction, Mount Taixu is not suitable for touching real power.
Therefore, Book of Fuxi only established a business empire. In addition to making money, she did not do anything extra, and she did not have the conditions to do so.
"Well, regarding the layout of Nanling City, let's follow the plan submitted by President Zhou. Everyone must pay attention. The scale of Mount Taixu is already extraordinary. Now, compared with the expansion speed, the construction of internal management mechanisms needs more attention. I am not the kind of person who is blinded by greed and has no foresight..."
"Book-chan! Jingwei is going home!!"
With a loud bang, the wooden door fell down, and Ji Lin's full of vitality resounded throughout the room.
Book of Fuxi's face was wooden, and her small hand reached out to the end call button on her mobile phone.
"That's all for today. I have other things to deal with."
Book of Fuxi ended the call, sat on a sphere with a black and white yin and yang pattern, and floated up. Her small hand reached into her sleeve and pulled out an ancient scroll surrounded by golden light out of thin air.
She reached into the scroll, as if connected to another space, and took out a black sci-fi pistol.
"Book-chan, wait, I..."
"Bang!"
Ji Lin fell down, the Xuanyuan Sword in her arms clanged to the ground, her legs twitched, and only one index finger was still pointing forward stubbornly.
"How many times have I told you not to disturb me when I'm in a meeting, you useless bufoon!"
Book of Fuxi stood on Ji Lin's head and stepped on it with her white and tender little feet, venting her anger.
It's not her fault that she is so manic; it's mainly because Ji Lin and Ah Lin are too useless. They can't do anything except make trouble in business, and their housework is also a mess. Book of Fuxi has to take care of everything.
But they still destroy the environment of Mount Taixu from time to time, and always show up to make trouble when she is in a meeting. It's okay once or twice, but it's like this every day. Book of Fuxi feels that she is gentle enough without driving these two useless people out of the house.
"I thought it was hard enough to take care of Elmhead, but I didn't expect you two would be the actual dragon and phoenix. I'm so unlucky!" Book of Fuxi rolled her eyes.
Beside her, the golden Xuanyuan Sword trembled, and Ah Lin appeared with a fairy-like spirit, but with a scared expression, handing over a mobile phone in a flattering manner.
Book of Fuxi took it and saw that it was indeed a message from Fu Hua going home, and there was also a screenshot of the flight.
"Oh, Elmhead is homesick? It's really not easy. I thought she could wander outside for hundreds of years if we didn't call her! But she's back, so why are you making a fuss? You're surprised."
Book of Fuxi raised her eyebrows and continued to read the information, and then her face changed.
"What, little Angel is here too? This is a big deal! Hey, don't lie down, get up quickly, let's clean up the house first, and then go down the mountain to pick them up! By the way, bring me the gift I prepared before, and wrap it in a big red envelope!"
Book of Fuxi kicked Ji Lin's head and suddenly became enthusiastic.
It seems that the news of Fu Hua's return home is far less important than Angel's coming to the mountain gate.
"It's not easy. After so many years, we have a newcomer in Mount Taixu. I heard that she is a very likable child, but doesn't learn bad things from the wooden head. I will have to give her more advice when the time comes."
Book of Fuxi muttered to herself, and at the same time took out one bank card after another from the scroll, thinking about which design and amount are more suitable for giving to Angel as New Year's money.
