Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

Upon hearing this, Fu You was stunned, then he understood something and denied it flatly.

"But both you and Master have the surname Fu, and you know so many things. Only relatives can do this, right?" Looking at Fu You innocently, Cheng Lixue asked puzzledly.

"My last name is different from hers! Why don't you call your master Fu Hua?" Hearing this, Cheng Lixue grumbled inwardly. Wait, this name sounds familiar... A flash of inspiration flashed through Cheng Lixue's mind, but she couldn't remember where this feeling came from.

"Damn it..." Seeing the confusion clearly flash across Cheng Lixue's face, Fu You was furious and internally complaining to Fu Hua - this Chi Yuan guy, even the naming was going to be difficult for him? He glared fiercely at the bewildered Fu Hua and began to explain to Cheng Lixue.

"My last name is Fuxi!" Fu You emphasized, looking at Cheng Lixue seriously. It was clear that his name existed long before Fu Hua...

Chapter 124 Fu Hua is still awake

"Fuxi..." Hearing this name, Cheng Lixue was thoughtful. When he was a child, his master told him many mythological stories, among which was the name "Fuxi".

"That's right, it's the ancient emperor who created the Eight Trigrams, established the sacred rules, and blessed future generations; opened up the business world, created currency, and connected the nine provinces; taught hundreds of arts, ruled the underworld, and was a master of both civil and military strategies - Fuxi, who sits on the left of Chiyuan and the right of Nuwa!" Without waiting for Cheng Lixue to speak, Fu You nodded approvingly and spoke first.

"Although the world ranks her achievements below those of the Red Kite Immortal, that's absolutely not the case..." "I'm planning to publish a paper on [The Ancient Sages of Shenzhou]. I believe that before long, the fact that Fuxi is the most sage in Shenzhou will shatter the outdated views of those who support the Red Kite Immortal."

After saying this proudly, Fu You couldn't help but tease Cheng Lixue when he saw her stunned expression.

"Huh? Why, didn't your master, who is well-versed in history, tell you about the ancient history of China?" "I... I always thought those stories were legends..." Seeing Fu You's serious look, Cheng Lixue opened his mouth slightly, a little confused.

"Wait, Fu You! I remember now, the signatures and seals on those murals in the old house in Taixu Mountain are your name!" Cheng Lixue exclaimed, finally remembering the source of that strange feeling just now.

"Oh? Have you seen my paintings?" Fu You admitted it frankly, somewhat unexpectedly.

"That's normal. After all, your master doesn't have such high attainments in art."

"Fu You, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Fu Hua said from the side. After obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword herself, she had already believed that the other party was an acquaintance of hers.

"Of course, there's no such thing as a visit without a request... I have a useless companion and a useless junior. I heard that your apprentice is very reliable, so I plan to ask Cheng Lixue to teach them. Of course, this requires your approval."

Pointing at Xilin and Bella, Fu You spoke rather embarrassedly.

"Of course I can, but Lixue, are you willing?" Fu Hua had no objection to this. She looked at Cheng Lixue, but found that the other party was a little hesitant.

"Master, I don't want to leave Taixu Mountain. I don't want to leave you..." "Don't worry, Bella and Xilin will stay in Taixu Mountain to practice."

Seeing Cheng Lixue's concerns, Fu You took the initiative to speak.

"No problem, Uncle-Master. Leave Bella and Xilin to me... Xilin?" There was a sudden pause. Cheng Lixue seemed to hear a remarkable name. It seemed to be the name of the Second Herrscher from that disaster over a decade ago? Was he exposed? Seeing this, Xilin's face darkened.

"Haha, don't get me wrong, Xilin is not the Herrscher of the Void. After the failure of the Second Herrscher, her core was taken away by Destiny and Anti-Entropy. Now the gems belonging to the Herrscher of the Void are probably still with Destiny, right?" Seeing Cheng Lixue's doubts, Fu You added calmly.

"Besides, just like there's a famous history teacher named Walter at St. Freya Academy, can you say he's the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance?" "That's true... I'm overthinking it, sorry."

After a moment's thought, Cheng Lixue nodded. The Second Herrscher's failure and death had been personally confirmed by the Anti-Entropy Alliance leader. This lovely girl before him was likely just a coincidence.

"Well, it's okay. Starting this afternoon, you can teach Xilin and the others how to practice. Don't worry about the Taixu Sword Qi and Cunxin Fist techniques for now. Just teach them how to cultivate their bodies and minds."

Fu You took the initiative to arrange the teaching plan, and he was really concerned about Xilin and Bella.

"Can't you take a day off first?" Looking at Fu You pitifully, Xilin still tried to be lazy.

"That's a nice thought. How can a practitioner be lazy?" Fu You rejected Xilin's request cruelly.

"Lunch is ready, why don't we eat first? It happens that we have a bit more today."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Fu Hua suggested having lunch.

"That's great!" Xilin couldn't wait any longer and looked at the motionless Fu You with some confusion.

"...Why are you standing there?" "I'm not hungry, you eat first."

With a complicated expression, Fu You waved towards Xilin.

At night, all was quiet. After a day of practice, Cheng Lixue, Xilin, and Bella retired to bed. Even in her dreams, Xilin still resented the meal she had eaten. Fu Hua, dressed for bed, had just fallen asleep when she heard a familiar voice.

"Chi Yuan, no, Fu Hua, I knew you weren't asleep yet. And I can't sleep either, so come with me for a walk!" "..." Fu Hua said nothing, and slowly opened her eyes, and Fu You's face came into view.

"It's okay to stay up late occasionally. There's no need to force yourself to sleep... and you have the Garuda factor, so you don't need to worry about the damage caused by staying up late."

"..." Fu You chattered incessantly, but Fu Hua remained silent, only clenching his fists under the quilt, with veins bulging.

"We can go for a walk in the bamboo forest...or go feed the red kites, or just go down the mountain and come back tomorrow. What do you think?" Looking at Fu Hua, Fu You smiled.

"I think sleeping is the best option now."

Finally, Fu Hua spoke. Even with her simple and honest personality, she was almost unable to bear Fu You's interruptions. Instead of sleeping at night, he was wandering around, dragging her along. What kind of thing was this? "Why sleep? You're not like those little kids who need to grow..." Fu You curled his lips, clearly not agreeing with Fu Hua's suggestion.

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to tell her."

Seeing Fu You's relentless tone, Fu Hua sighed helplessly and blurted out. The next moment, Fu Hua was stunned. Who was she? Why did she speak so instinctively? "Tell her! I'll throw away your Chun Bu Lao!" Fu You threatened without hesitation. Then, sensing something was amiss, Fu You reacted and stared at Fu Hua with a strange look that frightened her.

"You..." Fu Hua shrank back into the quilt, her momentum suddenly weakening. Indeed, she was a little in the wrong.

"I really can't remember what happened before. It was just a subconscious reaction just now."

She tried her best to explain, although even Fu Hua herself felt that the explanation was pale and powerless.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong... No matter how you look at it, you don't seem to have forgotten..." The next moment, Fu You suddenly moved closer to Fu Hua, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the other person carefully.

"Amnesia? You're not still pretending to be me, are you?" In view of Fu Hua's performance in the second great collapse, Fu You became more cautious.

"Yu Duchen, you recognize him, right?" Pulling out the Key of Consciousness, Fu You closely watched Fu Hua's reaction. Confusion, stagnation, recollection... In a brief moment, several expressions crossed Fu Hua's face, but she simply felt that the object before her was very familiar, but she couldn't recall its specific identity.

"Strange, you really don't remember..." Knowing that this guy was terrible at lying and acting, Fu You looked at Fu Hua again and shook his head. After Fu You's torment, Fu Hua no longer wanted to sleep, but she didn't know what to say. For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence.

"Who is she?" Fu Hua spoke with difficulty after a long pause. Her subconscious told her that the "she" she had subconsciously mentioned earlier was very important to her.

Chapter 125 Conversation

"She?" Fu You sat on the bed next to Fu Hua and repeated what the other person said.

"Just like you are Hua, Chiyuan, and Fuhua, Fuxi and Cangxuan are both her names."

After a moment of silence, Fu You inexplicably recalled the memories of Fu Hua that he had previously browsed in Yu Duchen.

"She is Mobius's assistant, Danzhu's sister, the creator of the Cangxuan Book, my guide, the pioneer of civilization..." With a look of reminiscence in his eyes, Fu You raised his head and looked out the window. As he spoke, he gradually fell silent. Looking at the night sky from the house in the courtyard of Taixu Mountain, the bright moon was still bright. For thousands of years, disputes, fighting, wandering... countless things have happened. For Fu You, vicissitudes of life are no longer even a word, but what he has experienced personally. There are not many things that can be as familiar as they were thousands of years ago, making Fu You dazed. Many years ago, he also liked to stare at the moon in a daze. Looking at Fu You who was a little depressed and silent, Fu Hua did not urge him, but waited quietly on the side.

"Huh, to you, she's a comrade-in-arms. She's the one who will serve as your backup for the former civilization and implement the Spark Plan... Fu Hua, you shouldn't forget her. You shouldn't forget them."

After a long pause, he glanced to the other side, sighed softly, and continued. In the flickering candlelight, Fu Hua couldn't clearly see the other person's face.

"Sorry..." Subconsciously, Fu Hua thought she had touched the other person's past scars and spoke guiltily.

"Of course you should apologize, but not at this time, and not in this manner."

Glancing at Fu Hua who lowered her head, Fu You snorted coldly, mistakenly thinking that Fu Hua was apologizing for her past bad behavior.

"Do you understand the whole cause and effect? ​​A worthless apology... You don't even know what you have done!" Fu You glared at Fu Hua, slightly annoyed and a little angry.

"It has nothing to do with the past. I just thought the question just now made you uncomfortable."

Seeing this, Fu Hua did not argue, but explained softly.

"..." Upon hearing this, Fu You was choked. After calming down, he spoke angrily.

"Oh, I'm not that fragile mentally. Don't think too highly of yourself."

After the words were spoken, the atmosphere fell into silence again.

"Although Yu Duchen's zero rated power can connect our consciousness together, you can also see her appearance again from it..." After a long time, Fu You picked up a phantom feather and spoke again.

"But that's meaningless because that's just my perspective. It's not the image you have of her."

"Cang Xuan..." Fu Hua repeated this extremely familiar yet unfamiliar name, staring at the flickering candlelight, wondering what she was thinking.

"Don't even think about it. She doesn't have an infinite lifespan like you do... I've already prepared myself for this, but because of you, I didn't get to see her for the last time."

While whispering, Fu You stared straight at Fu Hua's innocent blue eyes. He wanted to lose his temper, but then he remembered that the other party knew nothing about it, so he could only simmer in anger in his heart.

"It's all your fault, Chi Yuan. When you regain your memory, I will find you as soon as possible and settle the score."

Gritting his teeth, Fu You forced himself to suppress his anger.

"I'm sorry..." Fu Hua lowered her head, feeling that she had indeed done something wrong, and apologized in a low voice.

"Don't say sorry, you don't remember anything now!" Looking at the now incredibly gentle Fu Hua, Fu You simply couldn't connect her with the ruthless Red Kite Immortal from thousands of years ago. Perhaps this gentleness was Fu Hua's true self, while the culprit that had previously caused the rift between them was the divine sound of the previous civilization. But the previous civilization wasn't wrong; they simply wanted to be more resolute in their fight against the Honkai. After all, who could have imagined that the Honkai, which had destroyed an entire civilization, could harbor benevolent intentions towards humanity? Should they blame the Honkai? No, blaming the Honkai would be tantamount to denying the meaning of their own existence. Could anyone be blamed? What of his own fate? The more he pondered, the more he felt like he'd punched cotton, his strength useless. Confused, Fu You simply stopped pondering these questions and glared fiercely at Fu Hua, demanding a harsh question in response to her harmless gaze.

"...Are you planning to stay in Taixu Mountain like this forever and hide away from the world?" "I don't like the hustle and bustle of the world. Being here with Lixue is good enough."

Fu Hua answered honestly that she was indeed planning to stay here. Fu You scoffed at Fu Hua's words and pointed at Cheng Lixue's house with disdain.

"Your apprentice is a mortal. She will die one day. What then? Will you continue to live here alone and go back to your old path?" "But you are my friend. You will stay with me, right?" Looking at Fu You, Fu Hua smiled faintly, but was interrupted before she finished her words.

"Who, who is your friend? You have not yet paid back what you owe me!" "And you wish! I will not live with a humorless guy like you, and I don't care about your life or death! Ahem..." Realizing that his attitude was a little agitated, Fu You coughed awkwardly and changed the subject.

"If you stay here and keep Chun Bulao company all day, you will never find a way to restore your memory. You will never remember Cang Xuan and the others again, let alone your true heart."

"But Shenzhou still needs me. Although I have lost most of my memories, there is always a voice deep in my heart telling me to stay here and save Shenzhou from danger as usual."

Fu Hua didn't argue with Fu You's words, but only stammered. She had already sacrificed too much for Shenzhou, but she was still willing to continue sacrificing.

"...You are no longer the tool [Hua], nor the Red Kite Immortal of the past, but a human being [Fu Hua]. Stop carrying these heavy burdens on yourself. You deserve a life that belongs to you."

In the end, he couldn't bear to ignore this stubborn guy who had stabbed him in the back. Looking at Fu Hua, Fu You had a complicated expression.

"I also know how important the safety of Shenzhou is, but it has long passed the age when it needed the protection of the Red Kite Immortal. Go out more often, Fu Hua, you have been free for a long time."

"I..." Fu You interrupted Fu Hua before she could finish.

"What do you mean? It's better to do it now than to wait for a better day. Come down the mountain with me now, and you will see what Shenzhou really looks like now."

Hearing this, Fu Hua was still a little hesitant.

"But it's already past midnight. If we go down the mountain, we may not be able to return on time in the morning. Will Lixue and the others worry?" Fu You waved his hand, pretending not to care.

"It's okay. I'm relieved as long as Cheng Lixue is here."

The most important thing is that Fu You wants to have a breakfast that does not contain Chunbulao.

The next day, Cheng Lixue was stunned by the note left by his master and the empty room. His master had actually gone down the mountain again! "Teacher, can we have more dishes today?" Beside Cheng Lixue, Xilin, who hadn't noticed Fu You and Fu Hua had left yet, looked at them hopefully. Yesterday's "Immortal Set Meal" had been so simple that it had left a lasting impression on Xilin.

"Oh...how about adding a bowl of porridge?" Cheng Lixue asked tentatively, looking at Xilin and Bella, as if waking up from a dream.

Chapter 126 The invitation comes from destiny

At the foot of Mount Taixu, in a town somewhere. Fu You was known for his decisiveness, and Fu Hua didn't wear makeup, so the two of them soon entered the town. It was here that Fu You had last completed his transaction with Cecilia.

"It's so late, yet the lights are still on..." Fu Hua was slightly surprised by the bright lights and the endless stream of people on the streets late at night. Although Fu Hua had come down the mountain quite often after adopting Cheng Lixue, each trip was for missions, not for changes in the human world. Even now, Fu Hua's understanding of the current situation in Shenzhou was still stuck in the past.

"Although Taixu Mountain is very quiet and not many people go there on weekdays, after a certain game became popular, tourists coming here have been coming in an endless stream."
