Honkai Impact: Starting from Wandering with Kiana

Fu Hua nodded, then packed his bags overnight and asked Theresa for leave. He then borrowed Xiao Zi from Jiu Xiao and returned to Mount Taixu in the "Bird Machine".

The next morning, Jiu Xiao opened the dormitory door and saw Fu Hua, who was covered in mud and holding a chubby little doll.

Chapter 224 Gu…

As dawn broke, Jiu Xiao, who had no missions, went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast so that Mei and the others could sleep a little longer and wouldn't have to get up too early to prepare breakfast for everyone.

However, as soon as he opened the door, Jiu Xiao saw an unexpected person.

Fu Hua was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, her hair a mess, probably blown by the wind while riding the "bird plane" from Jiu Xiao. However, there were still some leaves and weeds in Fu Hua's hair, and even her clothes were covered with mud and morning dew.

It's already late autumn, and the time before sunrise is the coldest part of the day.

Jiu Xiao didn't know how long Fu Hua had been standing outside, but... Fu Hua was covered in frost... so it must have been a long time...

"Fu Hua, why are you here so early? Come on in!" Jiu Xiao took out a shawl from the doorway, draped it over Fu Hua, and welcomed her inside.

"Just message me when you arrive, or call me. It's so cold, what if you get frostbite!"

"It's alright, it's nothing. I already needed your help, so I naturally wouldn't want to disturb your sleep. I was just in a bit of a hurry, so I rushed over without even tidying myself up."

"?"

Jiu Xiao brushed the fallen leaves and morning frost off Fu Hua's clothes. Fu Hua, looking sad, said:

“Fu Hua, we are friends. Besides, although you didn’t take me as your apprentice, you are still my mentor. There’s no need for us to be so polite before. Let’s sit down and rest for a bit. I’ll go get you a cup of hot tea.”

"friend…"

Fu Hua watched Jiu Xiao's busy figure for a while, then picked up the Cangxuan Book that had fallen into a deep sleep in her arms.

Gently stroking the cheek of the Cangxuan Book, it felt as if I had returned to a bygone era, to Lian Shan Ji Lin… Dan Zhu Cangxuan…

"The Book of Azure Mystery, I have fulfilled our promise... I really opened a martial arts school and took in many disciples..."

Fu Hua's eyes were filled with nostalgia, reminiscing about the past, and she didn't even notice that Jiu Xiao had returned.

Jiu Xiao placed the hot tea in front of Fu Hua and curiously observed the chubby little girl in Fu Hua's arms.

"Is she a very important friend of Fu Hua?"

"Yes, her name is Cangxuan's Book, and she accompanied me for a very long time. Unfortunately, more than a thousand years ago, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, energy was insufficient, and she fell into a deep sleep..."

Fu Hua took one last nostalgic look at the Book of Azure Mystery, then handed it to Jiu Xiao.

"The craftsmanship of creating armed dolls has been passed down, but the energy materials they require were destroyed along with the Mu continent in the pre-civilization era."

With their energy reserves depleted, the armed puppets also fell into a state of energy shortage and could only fall into a deep sleep.

Yesterday, after seeing Cortana change Kevin's armed doll's energy supply method to Honkai energy, I thought of the Book of Azure... Nine Heavens, I hope you can help me with this."

"Sure, but as you heard Cortana say yesterday, we haven't tried this before, so it might not be universally applicable."

"It's alright, go ahead and try. It would be best if you succeeded, but it's not a big deal if you didn't. After all... I'm used to it..."

"Since we've already said all that, it has to be done!" Jiu Xiao patted his chest, assuring Fu Hua that he could handle the matter.

Even if it can't be fixed, have Cortana back up the data of the Azure Mystic Book, then simply melt the Azure Mystic Book down and refine it again, forcibly solving the problem...

"However, we'll have to wait a bit regarding Fu Hua. Cortana went out and had a blast last night and hasn't come back yet. Cortana says she's determined to beat Aida this time, although I think it'll be good enough if she doesn't get a lecture from Welt."

"It's alright, I've waited for a thousand years, a few more days won't make a difference."

"It's not that serious. I called Cortana ten minutes ago, and she's on her way back now. Fu Hua probably hasn't had breakfast yet, right? I need to go buy some now. What would you like to eat?"

"Thank you for your trouble, just one steamed bun and some soy milk will do."

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

After buying breakfast, Jiu Xiao went to Ji Zi's house first, because the breakfast was originally intended for Mei and the others.

Jiuxiao took out the key to open the door, then paused and put the key back.

The door wasn't closed... so naturally, no key was needed to unlock it...

Pushing open the door and going inside, sure enough, Jiu Xiao saw a red-haired slob in the entryway.

Hungry, Himeko held the bottle, her buttocks sticking out, and lay face down on the ground, fast asleep.

"I'm so glad this is an all-girls school... and I'm a decent person."

Jiuxiao pulled out two napkins and stuffed them into his nose. Then he picked up Jizi around the waist, preparing to carry her back to his bedroom.

Awakened by Jiu Xiao's actions, Ji Zi reached out and grabbed Jiu Xiao's collar, looking at him with dazed eyes.

"Hey handsome, I'm single, wanna talk about it..."

"Himeko, you're drunk."

"vomit--"

"I rely on!!!"

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

Jiuxiao sat at the entrance of Ji Zi's house, remaining silent for a long time.

A cold wind blew by, just as cold as Jiuxiao's heart.

I was originally planning to check if Kiana or Mei were awake and give them a good morning kiss. Now, before I even saw them, I'm already covered in Himeko's alcohol smell and she threw up on me.

There was no need to look for Kiana and the others; he wasn't in the mood for a good morning kiss anyway. Jiuxiao left breakfast in the living room, sent them a message on his phone, and then left.

On his way home, as he walked, Jiu Xiao suddenly felt completely drained and collapsed, leaning against a street lamp.

"Ugh, a student with a hangover..." "Smells awful... Let's get away from here..."

The students passing by covered their mouths and noses, gave Jiu Xiao a few disgusted looks, and then immediately ran away. Some even took a few photos and sent them to Theresa.

"Himeko! Cortana! My lifelong reputation is ruined!" Jiuxiao covered his face, too ashamed to face anyone.

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

When Jiuxiao went to buy breakfast, she happened to miss Cortana's return. After learning Fu Hua's purpose, Cortana rolled up her sleeves and got to work.

"Phew—it took me a lot of effort, but I finally got it done."

Cortana wiped away non-existent sweat, put her hands on her hips, and acted all tough.

“Fu Hua, I’ve changed the energy supply of your Azure Book to Honkai energy and linked it to you! Once you transfer the Honkai energy and charge it, the Azure Book will awaken immediately.”

Cortana handed Fu Hua a yin-yang sphere.

"Thank you, Cortana." Fu Hua happily accepted the Yin-Yang sphere.

Fu Hua felt the Honkai energy link between herself and the Yin-Yang Sphere, and then transferred all her Honkai energy to the Yin-Yang Sphere.

As Fu Hua infused the yin-yang sphere with Honkai energy, it gradually began to glow and deform, until it reverted to the chubby little girl that Fu Hua had just brought with her.

Chapter 225 (as the title suggests)

"Why are you back so soon?" Jiu Xiao nudged Cortana beside him. Judging from the distance and time, Cortana should have arrived home around noon.

"I forgot to hide, and Aida caught me beforehand. Apparently, because Anti-Entropy was conducting some kind of experiment about the Sea of ​​Quanta in Abyss City, I was thrown back by Walter before I even got close to Abyss City."

Cortana pointed to some burn marks on her body and looked at Jiuxiao with a pitiful expression.

"Walter said he'd give me a ride, but he didn't even take any precautions. I almost died along with the air."

"waste…"

"Same here..."

Jiuxiao and Cortana exchanged a look of disdain, then quietly stood aside, waiting with Fu Hua for the Book of Azure Profound to awaken.

A few minutes later, Cangxuan Zhishu's eyelids twitched, and then he slowly opened his eyes. He stretched and looked around with a dazed expression.

The moment she saw Fu Hua, Cangxuan Zhishu paused for a moment, and her confused little eyes immediately brightened.

The Book of Azure Mystery floated up and circled around Fu Hua, examining her from all angles.

Seeing the Book of Azure Awakening, Fu Hua's lips curled up, revealing a smile she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Long time no see, Book of Azure Mystery..."

"Long time no see, immortal. But you look so different... It seems I've been asleep for a very long time."

"Hmm, you slept for over a thousand years..."

"A thousand years...that really is a very, very long time..."

Cangxuan was surprised by the time Fu Hua mentioned, but after she checked her own physical condition, she couldn't help but smile.

"But if that's the case, the immortal can tell me stories for a very long time!"

"Yes, we could probably talk about it for another thousand years."

Fu Hua smiled, picked up the Book of Azure Mystery, and began to tell her the story of a thousand years ago.

Time has passed, things have changed, and people are no longer the same. The changing of the times is something no one can stop.
