Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

"Knock, knock, knock—" Just as Fu You was thinking about whether to have some afternoon tea, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw two white-haired people, one tall and one short, in front of him. Fu You was not surprised at all.

"It seems that the two of you have already reminisced about the past... Would you like some afternoon tea?" Looking at Theresa who was holding onto Cecilia and refused to let go, Fu You chuckled.

Chapter 151 Prevention

"Although I don't know much about tea, I can guarantee that this is considered the finest tea in China. A pot of refreshing afternoon tea is absolutely fine."

Fu You casually pulled out the tea leaves he'd brought from Taixu Mountain and happily dropped them into the pot. "Don't know anything about tea? No problem, just trust Chi Yuan's taste."

"Fuyou, I'm sorry to bother you. Kiana must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?" Cecilia smiled sheepishly at Fuyou after she finished her work and sat down. Clearly, she understood her daughter's character. After Siegfried's condition was under control, Cecilia, anxious about Sigiana, received Fuyou's news and immediately rushed to St. Freya's Academy.

"Haha, everyone goes through this age. Compared to what her father did in the same period of time, Kiana is already well-behaved."

With a light chuckle, to be honest, Fu You really liked kids like Kiana, who were full of energy and positive and optimistic... Of course, it would be even better if her gaming skills weren't so bad.

"You came at an unfortunate time. It seems the trainees were all out for combat training this morning."

Looking at Cecilia, Fu You shrugged.

"Yes, it's just the outskirts of Changkong City. Besides, I've arranged for Ji Zi and the others to monitor us all the way. I believe there won't be any problems."

Seeing Cecilia's face full of doubts, Theresa nodded repeatedly.

"Changkong City?" Cecilia was stunned when she heard that.

"I remember Siegfried also went there, saying he wanted to investigate the remnants of the Honkai..." "Then he's lucky. St. Freya Academy's trip was quite a big deal, so it should be easy to find Kiana."

Thinking of Siegfried's extremely miserable life over the years due to Otto's persecution, Fu You sighed.

"Hey, how many years have they not seen each other? Let me think... Ever since I brought Kiana back from Siegfried's seclusion and sent her to you, they haven't had a chance to meet again in all these years, right?" At the same time, Fu You became increasingly worried about Fu Hua and Otto's cooperation. Judging from Otto's words and actions, and his treacherous behavior, could Fu Hua really handle it? "Cecilia, are you staying in Saint Freya for a few days? After all, you won't be able to see Kiana today, and the students' training will probably take several more days."

On the side, seeing that Cecilia finally came to Saint Freya but came back empty-handed, Theresa took the initiative to speak.

"Thank you, Theresa. I'm relieved to know that Kiana is living well with you."

Shaking her head slightly, Cecilia smiled bitterly and declined politely.

"I can't stay here long, Bishop... He'll find out."

Cecilia had very complicated emotions about what Otto had done, but more than that, she felt heartbroken.

"Grandpa... he's gone too far. Cecilia, you've been fighting on the front lines, and now you're hiding, afraid to show up. How can this be justified?" Theresa also spoke up for Cecilia, even though Otto was her grandfather. Cecilia and Siegfried fought bravely on the front lines, and Otto used Kiana as an experiment afterwards. This move was truly unkind.

"Since I called you here, I have naturally made preparations... If a mother travels thousands of miles to see her child but fails, wouldn't it be my fault?" Fu You certainly knew what Cecilia was worried about. Facing the gazes of Cecilia and Theresa, he leisurely picked up the teapot and slowly brewed tea.

"Oh, what do you mean? Tell me quickly!" Theresa couldn't sit still anymore as she heard that there seemed to be a turning point in Fu You's words.

"Oh, look, it's urgent again."

After filling the three tea bowls on the table, Fu You took a sip and slowly spoke under the eager gazes of Cecilia and Theresa.

"There must be a large number of people planted by Otto in St. Freya Academy, but I'm not good at it, and I don't want to identify them one by one... So, I invaded everyone's subconscious."

"Also, to avoid appearing too deliberate, Otto will still be able to obtain all other information except your situation..." "So, just enjoy this hard-earned reunion here. If you don't try to get close to those surveillance devices, Otto won't be able to find you."

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Fu You spoke to Cecilia.

"Unlike that scoundrel Otto, I've always valued favors. You helped Shenzhou escape the residual effects of the Second Great Collapse, so I certainly wouldn't mind letting my actions benefit you."

"……Thanks."

After a moment of silence, Cecilia thanked him with gratitude. Fu You had helped her family so much. After such a long time, her family could finally be reunited.

"Well, there's an old saying in China, 'A gentleman helps others achieve their goals.' I've always been kind-hearted and compassionate, and I hate to see a family displaced."

Fu You waved his hand indifferently and didn't take this little thing seriously.

"Wait, you said you invaded everyone's subconscious?" Thinking about Fu You's words, Theresa finally realized something was wrong, and then looked at Fu You in astonishment.

"Yeah, don't worry, I'm not Otto. I'm just preventing them from leaking information. I won't kill them."

Thinking that Theresa still had prejudice against him, Fu You thought about it and explained for himself.

"You, when did you do it?" However, Theresa was still very confused. She didn't even realize it.

"While you were holed up in the principal's office, addicted to bitter melon juice and Homo comics, I had already completely overthrown the entire Saint Freya Academy."

Looking at the stunned Theresa jokingly, Fu You teased her.

"Theresa, you didn't expect that? If you are so slow, you can't be qualified to be the principal!" "You guy...it is obvious that I founded this place..." Seeing that Fu You was not blushing or even showing off like a child who got a new toy, Theresa was so angry that her teeth were itching.

"You should worry about yourself first, Theresa. You don't really think that Otto doesn't know that you are secretly raising a pseudo-herrsquo;s, right?" Fu You reminded Theresa out of kindness.

"Although I don't know why the bishop hasn't taken any action since he sent Rita last time, he's obviously not the kind of person who gives up halfway."

"With the previous experience of Cecilia and Siegfried, I suggest you find a way out. After all, no one knows when that golden-haired boy will go crazy. Shenzhou is quite good, what do you think?" Fu You mentioned it jokingly and looked at Theresa's reaction with interest.

"...Yae Sakura is my friend, and I will never let grandpa do anything to her!" Theresa answered firmly. After spending these days together, she had already felt the sincerity of the cherry-haired girl.

Chapter 152 The Destiny

Skipping over those heavy questions, Fu You, Cecilia and Theresa drank tea and chatted, and before they knew it, they mentioned Kiana.

"That idiot Kiana actually used her real name and original appearance outside. Cecilia, didn't you teach her?" Thinking that Otto didn't know about this, Theresa was still scared and complained slightly.

"If Grandpa has bad intentions towards her, it will be troublesome."

"At least Ms. Cecilia disguised herself adequately before coming here, which will save her a lot of unnecessary trouble. As for Kiana... just assume she was influenced by that idiot Siegfried."

With a faint smile, Fuyou came to Kiana's rescue, shifting the blame onto Siegfried. "By the way, how's Kiana doing here? A smart kid like her must be training hard and excelling, just like I used to, right?" Cecilia waited impatiently for Theresa and Fuyou's answers, her eyes full of hope.

"Well..." Theresa glanced away awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed to speak. She couldn't possibly tell Cecilia, who was so expectant, that Kiana skipped classes every day to eat, drink, and have fun, and that she often got zeros in academic subjects and was consistently ranked last... right? Simultaneously, Fu You and Theresa's eyes met in tacit understanding.

"Well, how should I put it? Although Kiana's academic performance still needs improvement, I think she still has a lot of room for improvement..." After a moment's hesitation, Fu You finally chose to be tactful and not mention Kiana's rebellious behavior. Besides their similarities, what else do the impetuous Kiana and the once-powerful Valkyrie Cecilia have in common? Fu You couldn't help but grumble. Never mind, let's give Kiana some face. Looking at Cecilia, who hadn't noticed, Fu You breathed a sigh of relief. Amidst the conversation, Theresa's communicator suddenly chimed.

"Strange, who could it be at this time... Bianca?!" After the call was connected, a heroic blond girl appeared on the other end. She nodded and spoke slowly.

"Lady Theresa, the bishop has obtained information about anti-entropy forces infiltrating the area around St. Freya's Academy, and has ordered me to investigate... Lady Theresa, are you okay?" Looking at Theresa in the projection, who was sweating profusely and looking forward from time to time, Yulandel asked with concern.

"Ahahaha... I'm fine, nothing's wrong, Bianca, keep talking..." Theresa said, wiping her sweat as she laughed it off, trying to get away with it. Fortunately, Yulandel was always honest and didn't suspect Theresa.

"The Bishop also told you to be on high alert and keep an eye on the situation in Saint Freya."

"Okay, okay, no problem..." Thinking of her own academy housing Fuyou, Cecilia, and Yae Sakura, Theresa suddenly felt extremely guilty and agreed repeatedly. ... "Huh..." After finally dealing with Youlandel, Theresa slumped over the table, looking like she had lost all hope in life.

"Is she the S-rank Valkyrie, Bianca Yulandel Atagina, the leader of the [Immortal Blade] team, the new generation destined to inherit the title of the strongest Valkyrie? She's truly a formidable young talent."

After Theresa hung up the call, she caught a glimpse of Yulandel's heroic figure and nodded in appreciation.

"Why is she here?" Unlike Cecilia, Theresa was gloomy and worried. Yulandel was known for her seriousness and strictness, and Theresa knew that if she came, she might have to say goodbye to her days of reading comics in the principal's office.

"Did she come here this time to get back at him?" After thinking for a moment, Fu You nodded slightly.

"Haven't you seen her? Why do you say that?" Theresa felt a little confused.

"...You don't think that when we were in Jiuyou before, I used gentle words and persuasion to persuade her adjutant Rita to leave, right?" Fu You glanced at Theresa as if looking at a fool and spoke slowly.

"The so-called infiltration of anti-entropy forces is just a cover. Otto definitely has other intentions. As for whether Yulandel will stand up for Rita, I don't know."

"But you're not the type to reveal your true self to others, are you? Rita shouldn't know you, let alone Yulandel."

Hearing this, Theresa was even more bewildered. Throughout the Second Collapse, Sky's Mandate had naturally targeted Fu You, yet they hadn't found any useful intelligence on him. Even after the Second Herrscher was "killed" and the incredibly troublesome Fu You vanished from sight, Sky's Mandate still hadn't found a single clue about him. So how could Rita have discovered him? "Well, that's exactly what happened... Never mind. It's nothing."

After thinking it over again and again, Fu You still didn't have the nerve to tell everyone that he had disguised himself as Fu Hua, beat up Rita, and humiliated Tianming. Of course, Rita didn't know him, but she knew Fu Hua and knew where Fu Hua was, and that was enough. Although Fu Hua and Otto had reached an agreement, Fu You didn't think that the grudge between the two would be eliminated. Come to think of it, if Xilin had fought with someone else and had never fought before, he would definitely help the other party vent his anger. Considering the close relationship between Youlandel and Rita that he had heard from others, Fu You felt that the other party had come here with the intention of finding trouble. At this moment, putting his own way of thinking into it, Fu You deeply believed it, and almost believed that the purpose of Youlandel's coming was to find Fu Hua and secretly find a way for Rita.

"Wait, could it be that grandpa discovered Cecilia and sent her here?" Just as Fu You was thinking about it, Theresa suddenly shuddered and had a new idea.

"No, the time doesn't match. Besides, Otto can't possibly know Cecilia's information. Don't panic, Theresa."

Hearing this, Fu You shook his head slightly. Putting aside the fact that Cecilia had only been here for a short time, relying solely on her control over Yu Duchen, she would definitely not be able to escape from the mere personnel Otto had planted in Saint Freya.

"My Yu Duchen is invincible. You, Cecilia, and even Chi Yuan... In short, Youlan Daier will definitely not come for Cecilia."

Finally, Fu You concluded, looking at Theresa who was still a little uneasy, Fu You comforted her.

"What are you afraid of? Yulandel is an S-class Valkyrie, and you're also an S-class Valkyrie. Besides, you're much more experienced than her. Why don't you ask Yulandel if she's afraid of you?" "Besides, Cecilia is also the strongest Valkyrie, and she wields the powerful Divine Key of the Black Abyss and White Flower. Even if Yulandel has ulterior motives, with two S-class Valkyries and two Divine Keys, I have the advantage."

Fu You, who enjoyed watching the fun, gave Theresa and Cecilia a thumbs up.

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you."

"What about you?" Seeing that Fu You didn't seem to intend to go with them, Theresa asked stupidly.

"Me? Come on, I'm just a history teacher, okay? How can I possibly face Youlandel with you?" Fu You quipped, shaking the teacup in his hand provocatively. At the very least, he'd have to wait until he had a better understanding of Youlandel's ways before engaging with her.

Chapter 153 First meeting

"Haha... Bianca, you must be tired after all this travel? Would you like a glass of bitter melon juice?" Afraid that Yulandel might discover something, Theresa stayed by her side the entire way, asking about her well-being. Although she had already made arrangements for Cecilia and Yae Sakura, Theresa still felt a little uneasy.

"Thank you, but no thanks..." Glancing at the training ground from afar, she saw it was completely deserted. Seeing this, Yulandel frowned imperceptibly. Compared to her last visit to St. Freya's Academy, the atmosphere seemed even more relaxed. This was the reason she hadn't chosen to join St. Freya's Academy in the first place—this atmosphere would hinder her ability to become stronger.

"Lady Theresa, where have all the students of Saint Freya gone? Why is the training ground empty?" Finally, Yulandel couldn't help but ask.

"The trainees have all gone to Changkong City for actual combat training, so there's no one on the training ground."

"Actual combat training? So that's how it is..." Feeling a little surprised, Yulandel really didn't expect that Saint Freya would make such a change. This made her look at her with admiration.

"By the way, Lady Theresa, do you have any information about the pseudo-herrscher who appeared in Shenzhou Jiuyou before?" Yulandel asked casually, remembering Otto's other mission for her.

"Uh, I don't know... By the way, Bianca, you're busy every day. After all this time, doesn't grandpa give you a break?" Theresa's eyes were wandering and she avoided the question.

"A vacation? Let's talk about it after I deal with the global collapse incident."

Yulandel already had a plan in mind. After completing this mission, she would travel around the world without stopping to clean up those new collapse events.

"That's a huge project. It will probably take quite a while, right?" Hearing this, Theresa thought of the Honkai events that were happening everywhere in the world. The sheer amount of work made it seem like an impossible task.

"Hmm... If I don't sleep, a month should be enough."

After thinking for a moment and making an estimate in her mind, Yulandel replied.

"You're really diligent..." Theresa's lips twitched slightly, embarrassed, not knowing what to say. She knew Yulandel was gifted, powerful, and hardworking, no different from a monster. But she had never expected her to reach this level.

Elsewhere, Fu You's thoughts raced. From the Second Great Collapse until now, the only Valkyrie whose strength he didn't know was Yulandel. Now, Fu You desperately wanted to know her strength. Summon a Houkai beast to test her? But an Emperor-level Houkai beast could easily crush even Theresa, defeating his goal of testing Yulandel. What about deliberately leading Yulandel to discover Yae Sakura? That would inevitably lead Theresa and Cecilia to join the fray. But if Theresa and Cecilia attacked Yulandel within St. Freya's Academy, things would spiral out of control.

"Oh, I almost forgot about him."

Just as Fu You was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly remembered the Walter clone sent by the vixen Kokolia. While his power wasn't particularly strong, he still possessed some of the First Herrscher's authority, making him the most suitable candidate he could currently offer. Furthermore, after his mind had been corrupted, Walter had been reduced to a beast capable of almost nothing but combat. Fu You felt no need to consider him a consumable item. As for the return gift to Kokolia... let's just replace it with an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

"Three moves. As long as you can block three of them, I'll be able to get a glimpse of Youlan Dai'er's tactics."
