"My treasure, say something! If you don't, I'll take that as a yes and I'll take it all."

"Hmph, a bet's a bet, I'm not one of you guys who break your word."

Seeing that he couldn't do anything to Li Chaoge, Shi Bao stopped struggling, huffing and puffing with his head held high, as if to say, "Do whatever you want with me."

"Uh, how did I break my promise?"

Sensing the hidden meaning in Shi Bao's words, Li Chaoge paused, then turned to look at Fu Hua, who remained calm. "Fu Hua, did I lie to her before?"

"I think... there was. When you borrowed Xiaoshi's power, the captain said he would take Xiaoshi out to play, but you were too busy to spend time with her later."

Fu Hua was also taken aback, and hesitated for a while before speaking.

Actually, neither she nor the captain were people who liked to lie. As far as she knew, the captain usually kept his promises, and he wouldn't make promises lightly if he couldn't keep them.

So this was the only thing she could remember the captain hadn't done for Xiao Shi.

Is this it?

Li Chaoge looked at Shi Bao.

"Humph!"

Shi Bao turned his head away to show that he didn't want to talk to you, and snorted at you.

"Okay, that was my fault, I apologize."

Upon seeing this, Li Chaoge knew it was this item; otherwise, Shi Bao would have definitely mocked it with disdain. His reluctance to speak was likely due to his pride and reluctance to admit it.

Although he couldn't remember the things they had said, Shi Bao and Fu Hua wouldn't lie to him.

Shi Bao has a bad temper and is quite eccentric, but she doesn't lie; she's just a bit arrogant.

In essence, Shi Bao is not a bad person; she is just a child who longs for affirmation and support.

"What? You think you can get away with lying to me by just apologizing? Humph, these are two different things. Even if you apologize, I won't forgive you!"

Seeing that Li Chaoge apologized so easily, Shi Bao couldn't help but speak up and make it clear that he would never forgive her.

"We're going out to play tomorrow, can't I go with you and show you around?"

Li Chaoge saw through Shi Bao's arrogance at a glance, but he remained unmoved and continued speaking to himself.

"However, you're right. Your coming into my dream to do bad things is a different matter from my previous deception of you. I apologize for failing to keep my promise and will make amends, but at the same time, you also have to pay for your actions."

"What do you mean, 'pay the bill'? You... what are you trying to do?!"

Seeing that Li Chaoge seemed to be serious, Shi Bao panicked completely and quickly turned to call for Fu Hua.

"Old fogey! What are you doing just standing there? Come over here and drag him away!"

"Ah! Captain, you big idiot! You womanizer! You scumbag! You just wait!"

"I will definitely not let you get away with this! Just you wait!"

Clearly, Fu Hua had no intention of helping Shi Bao; she simply watched the stubborn Shi Bao from the sidelines and shook her head.

You reap what you sow; let the captain teach Xiaoshi a lesson.

After watching for a while, Fu Hua couldn't help but blush and cough, clenching her fist to her lips, and whispered a reminder: "Um, Captain, just give Xiao Shi a simple lesson... don't go too far..."

"Old relic, what are you pretending for! Huh! Just you wait! That idiot captain definitely won't let you off the hook! Then...$%^&*& Ugh!!!"

Chapter 199. Treasure Identification: Old Antique, are you going to try? If you're not, I will!

In my consciousness, time passes very slowly, or rather, its flow is different from that of the outside world.

After "punishing" Shi Bao, whose limbs were bound by chains, for a long time, Li Chaoge himself was exhausted. Only Shi Bao, whose mouth was still hard, still had the strength to shout.

"You old relic...you just wait..."

"A gentleman...revenge is never too late, even after ten years..."

As a lawless Herrscher of Knowledge, Shi Bao naturally wouldn't obediently submit to Li Chaoge's punishment just because he was restrained. He would bite Li Chaoge from time to time to show that he hadn't given in, and even think about escaping when Li Chaoge was exhausted.

However, she happened to encounter Fu Hua, who didn't understand human nature. Every time she broke free of the chains, she was suppressed again, which made her resent Fu Hua the most now, and she didn't care much about the culprit, Li Chaoge.

Li Chaoge patted Shi Bao's head from the side, but didn't say anything to avoid getting into trouble.

Just enjoy the benefits quietly, and don't embarrass Shibao, otherwise it will be troublesome if Shibao keeps a record of it, and you'll have to coax him later.

"Captain, it's our turn."

Fu Hua glanced at Shi Bao, who was lying there motionless and seemed to have completely given up struggling, silently tightened the chains, and then turned to look at Li Chaoge.

"Ok?"

Li Chaoge blinked, looking at Fu Hua, who was dressed in a magnificent robe of cloud-black ink and ethereal beauty, with disbelief.

Does Fu Hua want to be serious with him?

Although it's understandable that things have come to this point given his relationship with Fu Hua, it's still a bit hard to believe coming from Fu Hua herself.

Is Fu Hua really that proactive? Could it be that Shi Bao switched her with someone else? Is the Shi Bao lying on the ground unable to speak actually the real Fu Hua?

Li Chaoge glanced at Shi Bao lying on the ground and found that she was still whimpering and lying there, unwilling to get up.

"...I meant martial arts training."

Seeing that Li Chaoge's expression was off, Fu Hua paused for a moment before continuing to explain.

"Captain, there's something wrong with your energy. Practicing outside can easily affect those around you, but the energy you use in the consciousness space is all simulated by you and won't have the ability to infect people's hearts. You can use your energy to practice freely here."

"Moreover, the flow of consciousness in the space is different from that in the outside world, so we have a sufficient amount of time to be undisturbed."

"Ok."

Seeing that Fu Hua didn't mean it that way, Li Chaoge was slightly disappointed, but he immediately cheered up.

Mei and Kage will both be affected by the energy he leaked. If more of these Herrscher-level or god-level beings are affected, it could very well trigger a natural disaster.

If one can avoid the leakage of energy here, then this is indeed a very suitable place to practice one's abilities.

If Kiana could learn all of Fu Hua's lifelong skills, including the Taixu Sword Qi, in a dream, maybe he could too.

Imagine sleeping and suddenly mastering superhuman skills, then emerging from the mountains to take down Kiana, Bronya, and the others—it's so exciting!

Seeing that Li Chaoge agreed, Fu Hua took Li Chaoge aside and began to teach him how to fly correctly.

Although she wanted to teach Li Chaoge some essentials of the Taixu Sword Qi first, Li Chaoge's current flying skills were far too rudimentary.

The method of using the energy wings of fantasy can also allow flight, but it is too wasteful. You have to concentrate on controlling it when fighting. What if the energy wings are scattered by the enemy? Do you have to rebuild them temporarily?

"Old relic! Captain! You two, let me go first!"

Shi Bao, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, saw that Li Chaoge and Fu Hua had flown to the side and ignored her, so she immediately cried out. However, Fu Hua flew far away so as not to be disturbed by Shi Bao, and completely ignored Shi Bao's cries.

"Damn it! I'll remember this! You two are finished!"

....................

Because she needed to stay in the consciousness space for a while, Fu Hua created a teaching-like Taixu Mountain in Li Chaoge's consciousness space. It wasn't just a simple mountain; it had everything a mountain peak, courtyard, and waterfall should have. She even created the surrounding mountain ranges, clouds, and climate changes.

Li Chaoge felt as if he were truly cultivating in reality while receiving guidance from Fu Hua here.

In the vast Taixu Mountain, besides him and Fu Hua, there were only three people: Shi Bao. If it weren't for the simulated mountain birds and beasts, the place would feel frighteningly empty.

However, Li Chaoge wasn't here for a vacation; he was here to learn something.

There's so much to learn from Fu Hua. With so many years of experience, she's more knowledgeable in combat than even the martial arts movie "Martial Arts Fanatic Lei." She knows a thing or two about everything, and in many areas, she's even a master.

In Honkai Impact 3rd, the playable characters in the game have five attributes: biological, mechanical, psychic, quantum, and imaginary. Some captains consider Fu Hua to be the sixth attribute because Fu Hua's armor for each attribute is very powerful, basically all of which are T1 level or higher.

In reality, there aren't that many attribute counters, but this still reflects how strong Fu Hua really is.

There is no great concept of the passage of time in the consciousness space. Later, the creation of Mount Taixu and the setting of sunrise and sunset made it easier to calculate, but no one would specifically calculate time.

Of course, regardless of how long it takes, Li Chaoge feels that he has grown a lot.

Although he only learned some basics from Fu Hua, he mastered the five elements of Taixu Sword Qi: mind, form, intention, soul, and spirit.

But he felt that with the Twenty-One Forms of the Four Forms of the Void plus his energy, he alone was enough to crush an army.

He had never encountered an army before, and was only guessing based on his own impressions, but he had already exchanged a few blows with Shi Bao, whose strength was restricted. Fighting some human armies should be no problem for him.

Having spent so much time in the consciousness space, he naturally couldn't have only learned the Void Sword Qi. Although the Void Sword Qi encompassed many things, Fu Hua had more than just the Void Sword Qi to teach him; she would also impart a great deal of experience. He could even spar with the Herrscher of Knowledge to familiarize himself with the Herrscher of Knowledge's fighting style.

Although at this time, Shi Bao would usually take revenge on his personal grudges and secretly do something ruthless, and then get his revenge later that night.

"Old timer, it's your turn to cook today! The captain and I are going to play for a while!"

After a day of practice, Li Chaoge put away a wooden sword. Shi Bao, who had been his sparring partner for a long time, immediately called out to Fu Hua, who was watching from the side.

Although eating in the consciousness space is absurd, Fu Hua, unusually, did not object to Shi Bao's words, but silently got up and went to the kitchen to start a fire and cook.

Although Fu Hua's appearance initially seems to contradict her cooking skills, she is actually a cook on the Hyperion, just like Mei and Rita.

Fu Hua usually looks very dignified and proper when she wears red-rimmed glasses, but she looks very handsome in a suit when she takes off her glasses and looks very noble when she wears an ancient robe. No one would have thought that Fu Hua is such a virtuous person.

Seeing Fu Hua go to the kitchen to start a fire and cook, Li Chaoge didn't say anything, just smiled and then flew off with Shi Bao to play on other mountain peaks.

As we had agreed beforehand, the three of us would take turns cooking, and Shi Bao would cook too.

Shi Bao's memories of Fu Hua naturally show that she can cook just like Fu Hua. However, Fu Hua's taste is more vegetarian, while Shi Bao's taste is more meat-based, so the two have different preferences when it comes to cooking.

However, both of their cookings were delicious. Faced with their superb culinary skills, he felt inferior and even wanted Shi Bao or Fu Hua to cook his portion. But the two of them disagreed and insisted on eating his poor cooking.

Li Chaoge had no choice but to play along with their pretend game, since it was an undeniable fact that they had been keeping him company for so long.

He spent a long time in the consciousness space, but he didn't practice martial arts with Fu Hua non-stop. Putting aside whether Shi Bao could handle it, he probably couldn't stand such a boring and tedious life. It would be better to cultivate a relationship with Shi Bao and Fu Hua in his spare time.

The way of both literature and martial arts is to alternate between relaxation and tension, or rather, between tension and relaxation. The same principle applies to learning martial arts.

Just like now, when he finishes his daily practice and goes to play around Taixu Mountain with Shi Bao, it should also be considered a kind of cultivation. After all, sometimes he will be beaten to the ground by Shi Bao when he is angry and embarrassed, and he has to use the moves he just learned to practice with Shi Bao.

Fu Hua didn't stop him and Shi Bao from playing together every day. She would just shake her head and refuse when Shi Bao tried to join her, and silently watch him and Shi Bao play together.

After a long while, Fu Hua finished cooking in the kitchen, washed his hands clean under the clear water flowing slowly through the bamboo pipe, and then slowly walked to the edge of the mountain peak to look at the scenery of floating clouds and towering mountains. A trace of nostalgia was revealed in his calm eyes.

This is the original **...not St. Freya Academy, not Mount Taixu in Shenzhou, nor Canghai City...

"Xiao Shi, Captain, it's time to eat."

After a while, Fu Hua put away her reminiscing expression, and her calm, cool voice echoed in the mountains.

"I'm coming!"

Soon, Shi Bao, who had run off to play on other mountain peaks with Li Chaoge, flew back excitedly, with Li Chaoge following behind, carrying the carcass of a tiger.

Hmm... this is the condition for him and Shibao to go play.

Although everything simulated in this consciousness space is fake, according to Fu Hua, even fake things can be used for training.

For Li Chaoge, who was just an ordinary person not long ago, dealing with wild beasts in the mountains without using any energy and only with the wooden sword in his hand was indeed a challenge. He had to work hard to master the teachings of Fu Hua.

Of course, this kind of training is actually not dangerous, and nothing will happen even if Shi Bao is not watching over it.

Because the simulated beasts in battle are all controlled by Fu Hua, it's just to let Li Chaoge practice his skills.

Li Chaoge put down the tiger carcass, washed his hands with Shi Bao, and sat down at the dining table. Fu Hua was setting out the bowls and chopsticks when he looked up at Li Chaoge.

"I remember you like potatoes, so I tried a new flavor of mashed potatoes. You can try it later."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Li Chaoge smiled and nodded. Although Fu Hua was not good at expressing her thoughts and usually had a calm expression, her thoughts would be reflected in her actions.

He quite enjoyed this harmonious and respectful relationship, because he himself was not a talkative person.

There are reasons why he can become a homebody. One of them is that he dislikes useless and complicated social interactions. Although the girls around him are all girls he likes, it doesn't mean he doesn't like a quiet life.

The way he interacts with Fu Hua doesn't require many words; a glance or a gesture is enough for the other to understand. It feels more like a romantic relationship, or rather, a married couple.

"Tch, it's just vegetarian food again, what's there to say?"

Seeing that most of the dishes on the table were vegetarian, Shi Bao pursed his lips, sat down, glanced at the two people who were being polite to each other, and picked up his bowl and chopsticks unhappily.

Fu Hua was used to Shi Bao's mockery, so her face remained completely calm. She sat down, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and ate slowly.

After the three of them finished eating, she looked at Li Chaoge and continued.

"Although the practice time is not long, I have already taught you some of the essential techniques of the Taixu Sword Qi. If you do not understand these techniques in the future, you will only gain more experience."

"This world doesn't offer enough battles for you to practice in. If you want to fight in the future, you'll have to continue having Xiao Shi spar with you in the consciousness space."

"Ah."

Li Chaoge nodded, not paying much attention to the issue of strength.
