Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

"I am not an ordinary human being. Moreover, although I am so old, I have only been traveling the world for a few thousand years."

“For thousands of years… Judging from your appearance, you seem to be of the lineage of the Vidyadhara clan, but this involves privacy, and Qingque will not ask further.”

Qingque nodded.

"As the saying goes, guests from afar are always welcome. Why don't we go to a nearby restaurant for a chat with Qingque tonight?"

"I can't ask for it."

Melutina nodded.

"..."

Tingyun, who hadn't done any work but had only completed half of it, was slacking off on the sidelines.

……

Half an hour later

"Is Miss Qingque a member of the Taibu Si?"

Melutina was taken aback.

"That's right, that's right, I have a sinecure at the Bureau of Apostles."

"I've heard that even the dogs in the Imperial Apostles' office are too busy to leave their homes... How can there be such a sinecure?"

Melutina was taken aback.

"Um...that statement is somewhat biased..."

Qingque scratched his head.

"At least the dog can go out and roam around."

"..."

Melutina wore an expression that was hard to describe.

"What about basic guarantees? Is it 996?"

"No, we are 770."

Qingque shrugged.

"What about the Labor Safety Law?!"

Melutina remained in shock.

"The Grand Diviner is the law of the land."

Qingque's words are concise and to the point.

"That's outrageous! You actually believed what a pink-haired loli said!"

Melutina was filled with righteous indignation.

"Pink-haired Luo...cough cough, you mean the diviner?"

Qingque wiped away her sweat.

"A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long! Especially since the one above him is a short man!"

Melutina slammed her hand on the table.

"Fellow traveler! Be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"

Qingque quickly looked left and right, afraid that someone might overhear.

"Miss Qingque, rest assured, I am not fond of fighting, so I can only resolve this dispute... I will go to the Taibu Si to find that dwarf and teach him a lesson with fists and bricks!"

"Fellow Daoist... Hey fellow Daoist, your words are incoherent! Wait... wait a minute, fellow Daoist! I still want to make it in the officialdom, fellow Daoist!"

Qingque grabbed Melutina's hem, but the next second, she felt herself fly up.

Do not……

It really did take flight.

"oops……"

Tingyun blinked as she watched the two figures disappear from sight, then quickly took out her communicator to send a message to the general.

……

[Tingyun]:

General! General! It's terrible! Miss Mei has come knocking on our door!

[Jingyuan]:

Don't worry, which door did she open?

[Tingyun]:

Taibusi (official in charge of divination).

[Jingyuan]:

Oh? Why did you call directly?

[Tingyun]:

Because she heard that the Taibu Si had 770, she was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to confront the Taibu Si.

[Jingyuan]:

I actually think the work pressure there is too great.

[Tingyun]:

Um, General, would you like to help me?

[Jingyuan]:

Haha, how could that be?

……

Taibusi

"Fu Qing, let's call it a day. I suddenly remembered that I still have something to take care of."

Jingyuan, who was drinking tea at the Taibu Temple, turned and slipped away.

"Huh? You mean..."

Fu Xuan looked completely bewildered, and then a loud bang was heard, and a large hole was punched in her roof.

"I……"

"Pink-haired little dwarf!"

Melutina, pulling the unconscious Qingque along, looked down at the dumbfounded Fu Xuan.

"I've come to confront you!"

"Small……"

Fu Xuan almost couldn't catch his breath.

For so many years, for so many years has no one dared to smash her ceiling?

For so many years, no one dared to call her by her name to her face...

No, no one had ever smashed her roof or called her shorty to her face before!

"You...you...you..."

Fu Xuan pointed a trembling finger at Melutina.

"Shameless madman! Do you know where you are? And who I am?!"

“This is the Tabushi, and you are the Tabushi’s little Tabushi.”

"Varied………?!"

What did she call me?

Loli...loli?!

"You shall die!"

Fu Xuan opened his Dharma Eye, and a flash of light appeared, blasting the surrounding area to smithereens.

"I... this is my house!"

Fu Xuan, who only realized what had happened a second later, was filled with regret.

"Oh no! I forgot about Qingque, she might have been caught in the same trap..."

"Sigh, young people these days are too hot-tempered."

As the smoke cleared, Melutina dusted herself off, walked up to Fu Xuan, and patted her on the head.

"..."

Fu Xuan opened her mouth, but before she could react, she didn't even have time to dodge.

……

"This Miss Mei is truly remarkable! I didn't see how she deflected the Grand Diviner's attack."

At that moment, Yanqing and Jingyuan, who were secretly watching from the nearby grove, were talking.

"Hmm... it wasn't neutralized. Fu Qing's attack did hit, but it didn't work."

Jing Yuan saw things more clearly than Yan Qing, and with his experience, he immediately noticed the clues.

"Such powerful defenses, could it be the protection of the faithful followers?"

"A follower of the Amber King? She is indeed from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, but she's just a temporary worker."

Yanqing recalled the information Jingyuan had recently asked him to look up.

"Yes, interesting, very interesting."

Jingyuan rubbed his chin.
