Book 6: Chapter 39:1: Fu Hua Teaching with Her Fist Technique, Part 1
Xuanyuan Yiyao would return only three or four days later, so Chen Heng could relax for a while. When the time came, he could just run to another world. How delightful, right?
Speaking of which, the Holy Grail Carnival would end soon. Chen Heng hoped the Holy Grail could restore his memory.
He had planned to join right after his college entrance exams, but Ryougi Shiki’s discharge altered his plans. He could not just abandon her to take part in the Holy Grail Carnival.
Suddenly, Chen Heng sensed a ping from the Dimension Administrators Association chat group.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Elder Brother, do you not love me anymore?
He Who Knows Fate: How did you know that? Ah! No, I mean, why would you think that?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: …(д ). Fine, Elder Brother. Let’s end this. You clearly don’t love me anymore.
He Who Knows Fate: Younger Sister, what silly things are you saying? We are siblings.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Not by blood.
Time Witch: Even so, it won’t be your turn.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: …What do you mean?
Time Witch: Nothing.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: What do you mean by nothing?
Time Witch: The meaning of nothing means nothing.
Umaru-chan: The Chinese language is profound. If not for the translation function, I would not understand what you said. Even after the translation, I still cannot fully grasp the meaning of this.
Coasting Through Life: Speaking of which, ever since I joined the Dimension Administrators Association, English exams have become a breeze. The college entrance exam’s English language paper was even easier than my middle-school Chinese language tests.
Efreet: There’s such a thing?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki [Root]: We’re going off-topic.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Right, Elder Brother, what did you mean by you made a bad deal by adopting me? Why do you think I am a bad deal?
He Who Knows Fate: …Who said that? I would never. You have to trust me, Younger Sister. Can’t you see how much I care for you?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Elder Brother, you do treat me extremely well, but the chat logs are real.
He Who Knows Fate: …Very well. It seems someone ratted me out. Who is it? Do I have to search the chat logs to find out?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: That won’t work, Elder Brother. We used private chat. Are you admitting it now?
He Who Knows Fate: I’m not admitting anything.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: What use is your denial when I have the chat logs?
He Who Knows Fate: Sirin, let Elder Brother explain.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: I don’t want to hear it! I’m not listening!
He Who Knows Fate: Alright, then.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Wait! What do you mean alright?! Quickly explain why you said I was a bad deal!
He Who Knows Fate: …
One Punch Baldy: I heard there’s an old Chinese saying, “Only knaves and women are hard to raise.”
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Shut it, Baldy!
One Punch Baldy: …
He Who Knows Fate: I apologize, Master Saitama. Sirin is just a child and can be blunt. Please don’t hold it against her.
One Punch Baldy: It’s okay. After all, I am bald; that is a fact. By the way, why doesn’t the Dimension Administrators Association’s store have any remedies for baldness?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: I’m sorry, Saitama. That was too much.
One Punch Baldy: It’s fine. It’s all good.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll send you some snacks and a few collector’s edition games as an apology. It’s a small gesture, but it comes from the heart.
One Punch Baldy: Great, thank you!
God Sai: Sirin’s gifts perfectly match Saitama’s preferences.
Efreet: The key is they’re affordable.
He Who Knows Fate: I’m pleased that Sirin can still see things clearly despite her inflated ego.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: When did I become arrogant? You always put me down.
He Who Knows Fate: Considering you have the chat logs, you must know that you were a mission that netted me 2,000 points, and those points never showed up in my account.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Just 2,000 points? Is that stupid system looking down on me? If it dares to come back, I’ll beat it so hard even the mainframe won’t recognize it.
He Who Knows Fate: Besides, it hasn’t paid up. Make sure to remind it about the debt.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Don’t worry. I’ll do that. Wait, that’s not right. We are discussing why you say I’m a bad deal.
He Who Knows Fate: Just look at it. The system promised me 2,000 points after a month of caring for you and another 2,000 points for reviving you in Honkai Impact 3rd’s world. That’s a total of 4,000 points. However, I haven’t seen a single point. Now, count how many points I’ve spent on you!
Herrscher of Pufferfish: …But…but…
He Who Knows Fate: But what?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: I’ve been obedient, haven’t I? Don’t I warm your heart? Am I not cute enough for you?
He Who Knows Fate: …
Herrscher of Pufferfish: You’ve got a cute younger sister like me. What more could you want? It’s not like I’ve cost you that many points!
He Who Knows Fate: Not many? Let’s tally it up. First, the Void Arts set me back 20,000 points, and that’s with a friend’s discount. We won’t even start on the various cultivation resources and pocket money. Plus, there’s the priceless Dimension Administrators Association invitation letter that only I can get. Just ask Yakumo Yukari how much she’d pay for that letter!
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: 100,000 points! Will you sell?
He Who Knows Fate: Not selling.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Tsk!
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Ugh! Elder Brother, why are you being so mean?
He Who Knows Fate: Honestly, the cost isn’t the main concern. I saved you without thinking of the cost. After all, you’re my younger sister now. How could I measure our bond in points? What worries me is your tendency to inflate with arrogance, especially after the Second Eruption.
Herrscher of Pufferfish: That’s the only thing I won’t admit to. When have I ever been arrogant?
He Who Knows Fate: Let’s put it this way. If you fought against Little Li, who would win?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Hah! Of course, I would. I’m a five-core Herrscher, the Queen of the Honkai! She’s no match. I’ll even let her have a two-move advantage.
He Who Knows Fate: That’s the point, Younger Sister. Know thyself and thy enemy. Even I can’t beat Little Li. How can you claim to?
Herrscher of Pufferfish: Huh? Is Luo Li really that strong?
He Who Knows Fate: In her prime, she could reset the time of the entire world by detonating her time core. We’re currently in a supreme-martial world. Who knows how powerful Luo Li was back then?
