Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Fu Hua froze on the spot upon seeing this, and the dinner in her hand fell to the ground.

"Hey, Fu Hua's back! The red kites of Mount Taixu are so hospitable, want to come and enjoy it with us?" Jiu Xiao waved to Fu Hua when he saw her arrive, and even had a few red kites help her carry her things.

Fu Hua handed the item to the approaching Red Iris, then took off her glasses, took out the Void Grip from behind her back, and put it on.

"You bastard Jiuxiao, what have you done to my Red Iris?!"

"They did it voluntarily!"

"You fed them your Honkai energy!"

"They ate it themselves! It's not my fault!"

"You converted hundreds of Red-crowned Crows here with your Honkai energy. Did you not feed them to them willingly? Did they steal them themselves?!"

--------------

Having been severely reprimanded by Fu Hua, Jiu Xiao tearfully drove away the Crimson Birds that hadn't yet been converted by his Honkai energy. Jiu Xiao's Crimson Bird Legion plan ended before it even began.

However, we've already converted over two hundred heads, which is enough.

Enough my ass! Fu Hua actually said that after being transformed, their lifespan would be drastically shortened, naturally reducing their lifespan to less than two years.

To prevent the Honkai energy emitted by their corpses from radiating to other creatures after they die, Jiu Xiao and Fu Hua eat five or six of them every day with tears in their eyes.

It must be said that the meat of the red kite is extremely delicious, all-natural and pollution-free, and eating it regularly can also nourish the body and improve physical fitness.

--------------

Fu Hua's sect was located on Mount Taixu, but the Taixu Sword Sect no longer exists.

Five hundred years ago, a great fire burned Mount Taixu for days and nights, completely destroying its ecosystem. The Crimson Iris Immortal vanished without a trace, and the Taixu Sword Sect disbanded.

The raging fire caused the people of Mount Taixu to flee in haste. They prayed incessantly that the Crimson Kite Immortal would appear, but the Crimson Kite Immortal could no longer answer their prayers.

But instead of the Crimson Iris Immortal, the Crimson Iris appeared.

Amidst the raging fire, one after another, plump red kites burst forth from the ground. They chirped and then, in flocks, used their massive bodies to extinguish the flames.

The fire eventually stopped, but Mount Taixu was reduced to ruins.

Because of the appearance of the Red Iris Bird, people firmly believed that the Red Iris Immortal had saved Mount Taixu. So they spontaneously rebuilt the ecology and home of Mount Taixu and called the Red Iris Bird that emerged from the fire a phoenix.

Still in Mount Taixu, a huge stone statue of the Crimson Kite Immortal was carved according to the image known in the world.

Red kites can actually be seen everywhere in Mount Taixu, but people rarely see red kites as big as they used to be, and only those huge red kites are called phoenixes.

Today, people have seen many phoenixes…

Fu Hua and Jiu Xiao rode on the back of the red kite bird and ascended Mount Taixu via a forest path.

Fu Hua and Jiu Xiao, who were leading the way, were not seen by the red kites, but everyone did see hundreds of red kites marching up Mount Taixu.

The enormous red kite—wasn't that the legendary phoenix? People who heard the sound spontaneously lined both sides of the road to watch the phoenix's large-scale migration.

"I never thought I would see a phoenix in my lifetime... This life has been worth it."

"Yes! Now we can face our ancestors with our own faces."

"But didn't you notice that these phoenixes are purple compared to the phoenixes described in records?"

"What are you saying? Look at the red kites, they come in all sorts of strange shapes and sizes. The phoenix is ​​just a different color, what's so strange about that!"

"Too…"

--------------

Jiu Xiao nudged Fu Hua beside him with his elbow and said with a smile:

"Look what I just heard! Fu Hua, you won't let me feed the Red Iris, but you fed them yourself before, and they even got the title of Phoenix!"

That wasn't my intention...

"Feeding them wasn't my intention, it's all the same..."

“No…this is different…” Fu Hua touched the phoenix beneath her, sighed, and continued, “Back then, I was the one who died, and the Honkai energy within me leaked out uncontrollably…”

"However, it was also a lucky accident. The red kites near me absorbed the Honkai energy and transformed into phoenixes, saving Mount Taixu... not only stopping the fire, but also preventing people from being contaminated by the Honkai energy."

Jiu Xiao touched Fu Hua's forehead to check if she had a fever, then looked at her with a mixture of curiosity and pity.

"Fu Hua, your past doesn't seem to be very pleasant... Would you be interested in telling me about it?"

"No."

Fu Hua remained expressionless, her demeanor unchanged, but she still moved her lips and said:

"The Divine Key I possess, Feather Crossing the Dust, is the eighth Divine Key—the Key of Consciousness, which controls brain information and governs consciousness."

Jiuxiao, I forgot what I told you before... Actually, it's not that I really forgot, but that I used the Feather Dust to strip away all those memories.

My life has been filled with loss and betrayal... but I am not the kind of person who dwells on the past, nor do I like to tell others about my past.

So if you really want to know, then go find out for yourself!

Chapter 181 Stars

"Dreaming back to the days of wandering with Kiana..."

Looking at the dilapidated house in front of him, Jiu Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

Mount Taixu is not uninhabited, but Fu Hua is truly the only one living atop a towering mountain peak.

Oh wait, Fu Hua hasn't lived in this place of sorrow for a long time either.

"Stop reminiscing, come and help us clean up. We've been living here for a while now."

Fu Hua took out two feather dusters from her backpack, handed one to Jiu Xiao, and gestured for Jiu Xiao to wipe that side while she wiped the other side herself.

"With so many underlings, why should I do anything myself... Purple Flame Phoenix, you go!"

Jiuxiao directed his phoenix servants toward the house. It would be a waste not to use the beautiful feathers of the red kite for dusting.

"No, don't send them all! Just send two!"

Seeing hundreds of Purple Flame Phoenixes rushing forward all at once, Jiu Xiao hurriedly shouted to stop them, but…

The ones behind can't stop, the ones in front can't hear...

Then, with tears in his eyes, Jiuxiao had an extra meal that night, slaughtering all the Purple Flame Phoenixes that had razed the house and making a whole chicken feast.

That night, Jiu Xiao was being scolded while showing off his chicken leg.

"As expected of Squad Leader Fu Hua, her cooking skills are superb. The chicken is cooked to the perfect tenderness, and the rich aroma of the soup doesn't diminish the freshness of the chicken meat."

"Practice makes perfect, it's nothing to brag about. Compared to that, I'm more concerned about when you're going to rebuild my house for me, Jiuxiao!"

"Hahaha, tomorrow, definitely tomorrow!"

---------------

The next day, Fu Hua got up early and went to a place she didn't really want to go.

After a long time, Fu Hua appeared in a hidden stone chamber at the foot of Mount Taixu.

Bloodstains left hundreds of years ago were still visible on the stone chamber. Fu Hua glanced at the bloodstains a few times and left silently.

This is her blood.

Qin Suying carried Su Mei's body and rescued it, hiding it here. It was here that Fu Hua, who had died, was resurrected after 20 years thanks to Garuda's super-mutant factor.

Fu Hua uttered the coded message, and a hidden door quietly appeared in the basement.

The stone chamber's underground chamber is Fu Hua's collection room, where she preserves relics from pre-existing civilizations.

"It's kind of ridiculous, really. I actually died on my own doorstep..." Fu Hua laughed silently, then walked into the hidden door.

After a brief search, a Xuanyuan Sword was retrieved from within. This was prepared for Jiuxiao, as the cultivation of the Taixu Sword Qi required the Xuanyuan Sword. Unless Jiuxiao didn't want to learn the essence of intent and soul essence, and wanted to jump directly from heart essence to divine essence.

But how could that be possible! If one or two of them skipped the three elements of form, intention, and soul to learn the essence of spirit, then all my creation of these three elements would have been for nothing!

(Kiana: Heh heh, I also directly comprehended the essence of the spirit from the essence of the heart.)

Fu Hua shook her head. She could no longer use the Taixu Sword Qi. She could only hope that Jiu Xiao would have good comprehension and be able to learn all five elements, and then pass on the Taixu Sword Qi.

--------------

At noon, Fu Hua returned to the top of Mount Taixu. Jiu Xiao was roasting phoenixes while directing them to rebuild their dwelling.

"I didn't raise these red kites for you to squander like this." Fu Hua threw the Xuanyuan Sword in front of Jiu Xiao.

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the earth and stuck straight into the ground.

"Hey, I was just trying to make the most of it!" Jiuxiao picked up the Xuanyuan Sword from the ground and gently wiped the blade.

"The Xuanyuan Sword... is it genuine or a fake?"

"It's genuine. The Xuanyuan Sword is just its sword form. Once it accepts you, it will transform into a form suitable for you."

Afterwards, Fu Hua kicked out the bewildered Jiu Xiao and his underlings, telling Jiu Xiao to familiarize himself with the Xuanyuan Sword before teaching him the Taixu True Technique.

Holding the sword, Jiuxiao pondered how to gain the Xuanyuan Sword's approval.

But after thinking for a few minutes, Jiu Xiao stopped thinking about it.
