Bronya, Mei, Theresa, and Himeko also showed respect, though not as exaggeratedly as Kiana, they all paid tribute to Fu Hua, who had upheld her warrior's duty for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Their short few years as Valkyries were already painful enough; it's hard to imagine the utter despair Fu Hua endured during her thousands of years of fighting against the Honkai.

Even so, Fu Hua remains so steadfast and unwavering to this day.

Having fully grasped the brutal battles that Valkyries face, Himeko and Theresa admired Fu Hua even more.

Fu Hua felt a little embarrassed when she saw that everyone admired her instead of blaming her, not to mention Kiana kneeling down on one knee in such an exaggerated way.

People who don't know the situation might think it's a marriage proposal.

"pata"

Rita, who had somehow arrived at St. Freya Academy, pushed open the door and saw Kiana kneeling on one knee before Fu Hua, her hands clasped in a gesture that seemed to conceal a ring in her palm.

Under the watchful eyes of Kiana and the others, Rita, the sudden intruder, immediately covered her mouth and said, "Sorry to interrupt your proposal, I'll leave now."

Then, under Kiana's stunned gaze, Rita revealed a mischievous grin, as if she'd just gotten the juicy gossip, gave an elegant bow, and quickly closed the door and left.

"..."

Although Kiana knew she was imitating the Chinese salute, what did Rita's expression mean? Could she have mistaken it for a marriage proposal?

Kiana and Mei were both dumbfounded and looked at each other in disbelief. Could it be that Kiana's first marriage proposal was given to Fu Hua in such a muddled way?

To ease the awkwardness, Fu Hua cleared his throat and changed the subject:

"However... if I had to say, I once had a few friends whose names, according to Chinese legends, are..."

"Danzhu"

As Fu Hua finished speaking, another voice appeared on the light screen, following the one about the "Red Iris Immortal" involved in false advertising.

"Wow! Fu Hua, come quick!"

Under everyone's curious gaze, another unfamiliar girl appeared on the light screen, besides the "fake Crimson Iris Immortal".

No wonder it was false advertising; the myth was created by your friend, no wonder he mixed in his own agenda!

[Exposing the Truth Behind the False Advertising of the Crimson Iris Immortal!]

………………

………………

"Found it! So many treasures!"

A little girl, her eyes gleaming with excitement, skipped off as if she had discovered some rare treasure, weaving an incredibly intricate pattern.

Although the girl was petite, her long, white legs, visible through the sides of her cheongsam, made her appear to have excellent proportions.

This young woman is clearly someone from China; her unique and beautiful attire, exuding classical elegance, speaks volumes about the weight of history.

The snake decorations on the girl's body, combined with her serpentine figure, made her resemble a cute little serpent.

However, compared to the terrifying Mebius from before, the girl before them, though also a beautiful snake, was far more adorable and gentle.

She seems to be a figure from mythology, just like the Crimson Kite Immortal, but her bouncy steps and lively expression make her seem like a carefree little girl, which contradicts the heavy sense of history she carries.

The girl murmured the true name of "Red Iris Immortal"—

"Fu Hua, come quick!"

Following closely behind the slightly playful girl was Fu Hua.

The Fu Hua in the light screen appeared as she was in the red and white Shenzhou cheongsam she wore before, but compared to the phantom and clone of Yu Duchen's power that appeared earlier, it seemed that the one with a substantial body in the light screen was the real Fu Hua.

He is the true Crimson Iris Immortal

Seeing Fu Hua's true form on the light screen, the beauty of her cheongsam was on full display, and her long, slender legs shone with an alluring light as she moved.

However, the chest area of ​​the cheongsam remained completely flat, as if the issue of "a little tightness in the chest area" was entirely irrelevant to Fu Hua.

"Danzhu, is this the treasure you spoke of?"

Fu Hua, visible through the light screen, clearly hadn't expected to be subjected to the pitying yet admiring gazes of her companions from who-knows-how-many years in the future. She was curiously following the girl named "Dan Zhu," wondering about the "treasure" Dan Zhu had mentioned.

Fu Hua followed Dan Zhu to the so-called "treasure," her brows furrowing.

"A pile of clay ore... is there anything special about it?"

In Fu Hua's view, even if the clay ore was of the highest quality, it was still just a pile of clay ore, which could at most be used to make some simple tools after being calcined.

Compared to resources like iron and copper smelting or coal, which can be described as major turning points in human technology, it's like comparing heaven and earth.

While the ability to use tools is a significant step forward for human civilization, it pales in comparison to the vast difference in the value of metal resources.

"Oh dear, you old fogey, you really don't understand. The clay mines here are anything but ordinary."

Seeing Fu Hua's puzzled expression, Dan Zhu's cute face immediately scrunched up, looking as if she were glaring at Fu Hua:

"The clay here is perfect in both plasticity and flexibility!"

"..."

Seeing Danzhu's serious demeanor, Fu Hua didn't intend to discuss the field of "clay" with Danzhu in detail, since it was Danzhu's hobby.

Fu Hua succinctly stated their purpose:

"What I mean is, I don't understand what these clay blocks have to do with creation myths?"

………………

………………

The students of St. Freya Academy stared at the two beautiful girls from China on the light screen, initially wondering how they were managing to move around in such a remote mountain area.

When they heard Fu Hua utter the words "creation myth" from the light screen, everyone's eyes widened in surprise!

Creating a myth?!

Myths are all legends and stories that originated from unknown sources, combined with natural phenomena that people at the time couldn't explain, and were eventually passed down orally out of people's awe of nature.

The study of "mythological stories" often focuses on why people held such reverence for the mythological figures and the descriptions of "mythological phenomena," thereby providing insights into the living environment, technological and cultural development levels of people at that time.

However, however...?!

Fu Hua and Dan Zhu in the light screen are actually "creating a myth"?!

So, they are the creators of mythology, the culprits who made "mythology" a thing passed down orally... ugh, the creators?!

Although everyone already knew Fu Hua's identity as the "Red Iris Immortal," it was only now that they gained a deeper understanding of this title.

So the immortal who "protected the land for a thousand years" not only had a thousand years of battle experience, but also... was even closely related to the birth of mythology?!

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Fu Hua stared at the image on the light screen of herself digging through clay blocks with Dan Zhu, stroking her chin in deep thought—

"...It seems like that happened back then."

Fu Hua tried her best to search her memories for the scene from back then. After all, Fu Hua had really disposed of many of the memories related to the events, and it was already quite good that she could leave behind fragmented pieces.

"That period seems to have been before the emergence of human civilization? Or... just as human civilization was born?"

"It's been so long, I can't quite remember."

Fu Hua struggled to recall, watching as everyone from St. Freya Academy before her transformed into eager little birds yearning for a story. Helplessly, she tried even harder.

"However, Danzhu is a human who survived with me in the previous civilization era, we..."

"It seems that...in order to provide the spark for human civilization in this century, we are actively contacting the people of this civilized century..."

"Telling stories, instilling respect and faith in stories, and... empowering people...?"

Fu Hua's memories could only contain this much information; the specific details were completely forgotten.

However, she knew that Danzhu was her best friend.

But why seal away or dispose of that memory?

They were clearly best friends, so why did Fu Hua forget that memory...?

Was it because something happened to Danzhu? Or something else...?

Fu Hua couldn't remember, and she guessed that the reason she couldn't remember was precisely the reason for sealing it away.

Since it was likely a painful memory, Fu Hua was unwilling to bring it up again.

Let Danzhu, appearing on the screen, tell us what they were doing back then.

Fu Hua's gaze fell upon the screen in which she and Dan Zhu had already extracted enough clay and were preparing to begin their operation.

………………

………………

"In order to spread the story better, of course we need to create characters!"

As Danzhu manipulated the clay in her hands, her delicate and skillful hands shaped it into various forms.

At first, there was a cute little snake that looked just like her, and then there was a round, chubby chicken. For some reason, it seemed to resemble Fu Hua a bit.

Fu Hua clearly doesn't fit the image of a chubby, round chicken. Fu Hua is so slender and slim, even her chest is like that...

In any case, that chubby clay chicken with crimson feathers on its head does bear a resemblance to Fu Hua.

While happily fiddling with the chubby chicken and the little snake in his hands, Danzhu chatted fluently with Fu Hua, seemingly mentioning his area of ​​expertise and greatest interest:

"Comics, anime, and figurines—weren't they the most popular things before our world was destroyed?"

"Therefore, we should also refer to successful experiences and cases, and use this method to spread our story."

"This will definitely lead to great success!"

………………

………………

Hearing the words Danzhu uttered on the light screen, everyone at St. Freya Academy was so shocked they almost popped their eyes out!

Didn't Fu Hua say that was when human civilization had just emerged?!

How could such a modern concept as "figure" have existed in the early days of human civilization?!

Comics, anime, and figurines—aren't those modern forms of entertainment that Kiana, the silly girl, always finds excuses to watch when she skips class or doesn't want to do her homework?!
