"Wow, this beef brisket rice is delicious!"
"Yes, Sister Rosalia."
In the Titan resettlement area, Kella, Rosalia, and Lilia sat by the iron mesh walkway, eating the lunch that had just been delivered.
Kella chewed the rice, smiled gently at the two girls, and said, "It's just a normal working meal. The conditions are limited. I can't give you the delicious lunch from Lady Cocolia."
"It doesn't matter. It's delicious. Thank you, Dad."
"Thank you, Dad!"
The two sisters blinked their clean and innocent big eyes, thanking their "dad" one by one. Kella rubbed her temples with a headache and said, "Anyway, I have sent a message to Lady Cocolia, and she knows you are having lunch here. But why do you call me dad?"
"Aren't you the girlfriend of Mother Cocolia? Don't try to deceive us. We have already checked it out, and the smart and wise Vodka sisters will not be deceived!"
"Won't be deceived!"
The sisters looked very confident. Kella certainly knew that Rosalia had a wild imagination a few days ago, but she didn't expect it to develop into a scene like today.
To be honest, Kella and Cocolia did have a relationship, and from an outsider's perspective, there was nothing wrong with this idea. Angels have common feelings, and Kella is also full of love for the Arlene sisters, so the problem is even more difficult, and now Kella doesn't know how to explain it.
"Father Kella, you and mom are in that kind of relationship, right?"
While Kella was thinking, Rosalia asked again.
"I... uh... this question is a bit..."
"That's it! I'm not wrong. Why don't those two idiots, Sin and Bronya, believe it? Forget it. Not everyone can be as smart as Lady Rosalia. Forgive them."
"Uh, I mean..."
"Hey! Father Kella, how is your relationship with Mother Cocolia? Have you had a fight recently? Mother Cocolia is a bit stubborn. She's almost 30 and this is her first time in love. She must have no experience and might make some low-level mistakes. But she's a very good mother. Don't mind her little shortcomings. Believe me, Mom is super good to her family!"
Rosalia smiled, showing a row of cute white teeth, and gave a thumbs up. Kella was speechless for a moment. After a long time, Kella smiled and said, "I understand, so you are actually worried about your mother right?"
"Yes, we never imagined that Mom would fall in love before, how can we not worry? We will be your secret spies in the future. If you have any problems with Mother Cocolia, don't give up. Find us and we will definitely solve them for you!"
"Shouldn't you tell your mother about this kind of concern first?"
"Forget about your mother. She must be embarrassed not to tell us. Just understand. In short, you have to get along well. We will wait patiently until the day when Mom is willing to tell us."
Rosalia grinned and patted her chest like a little adult, as if she were the elder worried about her daughter's emotional problems. Lilia also puffed out her chest with the same proud expression.
Kella could no longer suppress her feelings and laughed out loud with relief.
Rosalia thought that Kella didn't take it seriously, so she hurriedly pulled Kella's sleeve and said, "We are serious! Mom has been working hard for everyone in the orphanage. She is very tired and has never thought about herself. She hasn't changed her clothes or jewelry for several years... Mom has done a lot for us, and we also hope that Mom can be happy."
Rosalia and Lilia's mood suddenly became low. Those warm but difficult years are not far away from now, and it is impossible to forget them. The Arlene sisters have always been the representatives of mischief in the orphanage. They have received the most care. Perhaps because of this, they can best understand the love and care of their sisters and Cocolia for them.
Therefore, they always want to do something to repay the love they have received, but many times those actions are messed up in the end, so they add another mischievous account. Unlike the more rational Sin and Bronya, they use their limited knowledge to judge that there is a relationship between Cocolia and Kella, so they have been trying to contact Kella. To some extent, they did touch upon the truth that others would not think of. Whether it was amazing intuition or accidental, it was no longer important.
Angels looked at the two simple and clumsy sisters through Kella's eyes, and felt that under their cute appearance, the two crystal-clear hearts were equally lovable.
The construction of the East Shenzou Sea Base primarily serves the goal of finding and conquering Chiyou, and by the way, expanding Cocolia's power. However, this is not a one-day job. Even if anti-entropy technology is one generation ahead of the secular level, it will take half a year to almost year to build a high-tech base similar to Saint Freya that is firmly on the sea.
During this period, Cocolia, Kella, Ninti, and Titan Angel can only stay in the gradually expanding East Shenzou Sea Base, temporarily away from the crowd.
However, it takes time to survey the surrounding waters to find the Nine Realms.
In addition, the matter of Cocolia's change and appearance of Ninti is already abrupt enough, so they really needs a period of silence to let all the people involved ease their moods, so as to make these people better accept these two new images.
Therefore, on the Saint Freya side, Bronya got reassuring information, and the insiders who stayed here were greatly relieved. Only Angel, who "knew nothing," was still enthusiastically learning Edge of Taixuan from Fu Hua, and the word "Master" became more and more fluent.
"The form essence of the five elements of Taixu is divided into four lines: guarding, transforming, opening, and evolving, with a total of 21 styles. People at that time said that 'one martial art covers everything,' which refers to the all-encompassing form essence in terms of moves. Angel, since you have achieved the Still Water state of the Mantra essence, the next step is to master the form essence and transform the Honkai energy into the power of the blade."
In the early morning when the sun was about to rise but not yet, Fu Hua looked at the graceful girl in front of her, and her always plain and old-fashioned face couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile. She was glad that there were still people who could learn Edge of Taixuan, and she was even more glad that Angel could use it to alleviate the damage of the Honkai energy, so as not to wither away at an early age.
At this time, Angel raised her hand and said in a clear voice:
"Master, I have a question!"
"Well, go ahead."
"I have been reading Shenzhou's martial arts materials recently, and I often see the concept of 'going mad'. Master said that going mad means being controlled by Honkai energy. Then will our 'Mantra' have this risk? After all, I found that after cultivating the Blade Mantra, the degree of control and upper limit of Honkai energy have suddenly increased a lot."
Angel blinked and asked innocently. In fact, she was asking indirectly, hoping to find out some information about the sequelae of "SWARA."
So far, in practice, Angel and the others have not found any problems. On the contrary, they have benefited far more than expected in terms of output power and control. But the imparted "Discipline" in the Mantra is really worrying. If possible, it should be clarified.
Fu Hua thought for a moment and said, "Your worries are justified. The road of cultivation is long and endless. Various problems may accumulate into inner demons, causing flaws in the mind and being taken advantage of by the evil thoughts in the Honkai energy. However, the 'Blade Mantra' has been improved by generations of Taixu descendants and has become perfect. In theory, as long as you practice the Blade Mantra every day and ensure that your state of mind is stable and clear, you will not be corrupted by the Honkai energy."
"Master, your statement is so vague!"
"Angel, advanced martial arts are like this. Many things can only be felt and overcome by you subjectively. If you know, you know, and if you don't know, you don't know. It cannot be clearly described in words. Instead of thinking about this kind of problem, it is better to concentrate on cultivation and enter a higher level as soon as possible. From the perspective of past history, the higher the realm, the lower the possibility of being affected by the Honkai energy."
"Then is the only way to be possessed by the devil to be controlled by the Honkai energy? Are there other possibilities? For example, I feel that the more I practice this Blade Mantra, the more my state of mind is far away from ordinary people. Is it possible that I will eventually become a robot that does not understand emotions?" Angel asked, looking ignorant and curious.
Fu Hua opened her mouth, but for a moment, she said nothing.
Other forms of infatuation, robots without emotions - these descriptions have touched on some of her history. Although Fu Hua could not remember them completely, how could she not investigate the tragedy five hundred years ago?
Finally, Fu Hua sighed and replied, "Don't worry, there won't be such a problem."
"Really, Master?"
"Really. The problem you mentioned does exist. In the past, there were indeed predecessors who fell into the inner demon of "demon possession must be punished." But this problem has been solved, and you will not encounter such danger, I promise."
Fu Hua subconsciously touched the top of Angel's head, and looked at her gently as an elder, trying to dispel Angel's "uneasiness."
'That is to say, Master may have cracked the hidden danger of "SWARA" and modified "Blade Mantra Sutra" with it?
At least she should be sure that she will not let us be troubled by "demon possession must be punished.'
Think about it carefully, besides Kiana, isn't there Li Sushang? She has also achieved Eminence, and isn't she chatting and laughing with Herrschers?
Cheng Lingshuang is also said to have gone further than her master in Edge of Taixuan, and she has no problems.
So, this problem may really have a solution, and it is not as dangerous as we imagined. Maybe we can relax a little and increase the strength of training the Edge of Taixuan?'
Angel and the others did not get a completely accurate answer, but they also had some guesses, at least they could let go of some of their worries.
However, Angel soon had no time to think about it. Fu Hua began to teach her the moves of Sin Yun, and she could only be busy with memorizing and understanding. In her focused practice, Angel gradually ignored the passage of time.
