TL/N: Update! i got chapter 57 and 58 mixed and i've now fixed it.
Chapter 57: She's Impressive!
"Sister. Sister, my family has kicked me out. I can't survive alone in this world. Sister, you're beautiful and kind-hearted. Can I live with you from now on?"
Under the moonlight, the ethereal countenance of the Phoenix Immortal was as cold and distant as a fairy on the Moon Palace. Facing this celestial being who had almost forgotten emotions, Lu Yu didn't know how to proceed. He glanced at himself, then at Fu Hua, and decided to directly approach Fu Hua with a pitiful expression.
Lu Yu was gambling that Fu Hua still retained her memories at this point. Even though she had intentionally distanced herself from human emotions, she was still Fu Hua, the kind-hearted warrior of Ying Jie.
It was deep into the night, and a sudden gust of wind blew by, causing Lu Yu, already frail, to shiver from the cold.
Hearing the words of the young man before her and seeing him shivering in the chilly breeze, Fu Hua pondered for a long time. In the midst of ongoing turmoil in Shenzhou, a youth like him, devoid of family, would indeed find it difficult to survive alone...
After a quarter of an hour, Fu Hua let out a long sigh. She pulled the young man closer and used her robe to partially cover his body.
"Alright!"
[Age 7: Accompanied by the Phoenix Immortal, you began your journey across the land of Shenzhou. Compared to your poor parents, the Phoenix Immortal's wealth was undoubtedly much more abundant. In this year, in order to address your frail health, she took you to visit various medical halls in several major cities of Shenzhou. Unfortunately, every physician informed the Phoenix Immortal that your inherent frailty couldn't be cured.
However, coincidentally, this year you remembered one of your abilities. In an accidental event, you snapped a willow tree as thick as your arm with your bare hands. Faced with your newfound ability, the Phoenix Immortal's expectations of you grew. She believed you were a potential talent, destined to become a warrior capable of combating destruction. The Phoenix Immortal began guiding you in relevant martial arts training.]
[Innate Talent: True Self Activated, Monstrous Strength-D Skill Awakened.]
[Age 9: After two years of growth and guidance from the Phoenix Immortal, your strength improved somewhat. With the passage of time and improved living conditions, your handsome appearance gradually became evident. As the Phoenix Immortal's little companion, you began to take care of various matters, using your ability to manipulate thunder to your advantage. Combined with your handsome appearance, you stood out in the vast realm of Shenzhou. Some benevolent individuals in the martial world even bestowed upon you a nickname - "Elegant Song Young Master."]
[Age 10: While your health issues remained severe, your determined spirit led you to complete the training and challenges set forth by the Phoenix Immortal. During quiet nights, you continued practicing on your own, accelerating your progress. However, your incessant training exacerbated your pre-existing health problems.]
[Age 11: Your secret training was discovered by the Phoenix Immortal. She sternly reprimanded you. Having lived together for five years, the Phoenix Immortal had developed a fondness for you, her cute little brother. She repeatedly cautioned you not to train secretly and began researching ways to alleviate your ailment.]
[Age 12: The Phoenix Immortal received information that the Nine Yin Clan had gathered at the ancient tomb, planning to resurrect the ancient malevolent beast Chiyou. You and the Phoenix Immortal arrived at the tomb, engaging in a fierce battle and thwarting the Nine Yin Clan's scheme. As a result of this encounter, you took in a lonely orphan named Lin Chaoyu. Her parents were killed by your lightning during the turmoil.]
[Considering your fragile health, the Phoenix Immortal agreed to your request. Six-year-old Lin Chaoyu became the Phoenix Immortal's maid in name but practically became your little companion. Your reputation grew significantly after this battle, echoing throughout Shenzhou.]
"Lin Chaoyu became my little companion? Damn, doesn't that make me seem older than Li Sushuang by a generation? This is way too exaggerated!"
Considering the scenario where Li Sushuang might call him "uncle" in the future, Lu Yu felt a bit awkward.
Thinking about how he used to admire Li Sushuang's body while playing games, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh with regret. She was attractive, had a good personality, and was older!
Who could resist not lusting after her?!
Unfortunately, despite transmigrating, he wasn't able to arrange for Li Sushuang to be on board. This was undoubtedly one of Lu Yu's biggest regrets.
However, with this super-added seniority, the goddess directly turned into a junior. Something felt a bit off!
[Age 14: Lin Chaoyu, a gentle young girl, accompanied you and the Phoenix Immortal on your journeys across the Jianghu. In order to protect Lin Chaoyu from being tormented by inner demons due to the loss of her parents, the Phoenix Immortal taught her sword techniques and mental cultivation methods. The three of you formed a relationship that was both teacher and friend.]
[Age 16: As you matured, your frailty became even more evident. This year, the Phoenix Immortal offered a substantial reward to gather divine healers from all over Shenzhou to treat your illness. However, no one was able to resolve your frailty.]
[Age 17: Shenzhou hosted a Young Martial Arts Competition with a prize rumored to be a miraculous herb capable of reviving the dead. Hearing this, Lin Chaoyu thought that the herb might be useful for you and suggested that you participate. However, the competition involves combat, and you might be seriously injured due to the unpredictability of fights. Will you participate?]
[Participate: A man only has a few opportunities to fight in his lifetime. A true man should embrace the challenge.]
[Don't Participate: Your inherent frailty is unchangeable. Since even immortals can't save you, why subject yourself to potential injuries?]
"Um, I'll go. Even though that herb doesn't seem very useful, I've also remembered a new martial technique.]
