Chapter 420 BBQ Party
After Alice was rescued and brought ashore, Bell rushed over to ask about Alice's condition.
Alice, are you alright?
"Um, sorry... where are the people from the TV station?"
"Um, the director said he still needs to edit the footage. He's already driven away..." Ling then comforted her, "But don't worry, he said the performance on the track was already quite good."
Alice lowered her head and said somewhat dejectedly, "Actually, it's because I was bullied by Jacqueline's sorority during the school's New Year's performance in middle school. We had to perform a carrot. Whether it was on stage or in front of the camera, as long as I received attention, my hands and feet would gradually lose control, and even movements that I was once very familiar with would become distorted."
Alice then apologized, "I'm sorry, I thought I could overcome this after yesterday's encouragement, but the thought of Jacqueline taking my footage to show her sisters made my body start to lose control again... Plus, with those cameras and the filming crew, I got nervous and lost control of my feet."
Ling comforted her, "It's okay, everyone gets nervous sometimes, and it's not your fault. It's alright if you don't go to the surfing show."
“That’s right,” Yu Ye agreed. “We’ll find a way to promote the resort. I’m already looking into how to get A Fu to practice acrobatics.”
"Yes, I do have some connections when it comes to publicity."
"I'm so sorry to have made everyone worry about me."
Then, the Herrscher of Knowledge patted Alice on the shoulder in a carefree manner and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely help promote your resort! It would be such a shame if such a fun resort disappeared!"
As the Herrscher of Knowledge was saying this, he prepared to go back and get his phone to figure out how to post the message, but before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Rin who had followed him.
Seeing Rin gently shaking her head while holding her hand, and Alice and Yuzu behind her still showing no signs of giving up, the Herrscher of Knowledge temporarily abandoned the idea of helping.
"Alright, for your sake, Ling, I'll temporarily refrain from helping with the promotion. However, my word still stands. If you need my help, just let me know!"
With that, the Herrscher of Knowledge grabbed her surfboard and went to find Fu Hua. Meanwhile, Kiana and the others had already prepared a barbecue grill and various ingredients, looking like they were about to have a barbecue party.
And that was indeed the case. Fu Hua and Mei were busy grilling meat, while Bronya and the two Seeles were playing with the children that Sheena had brought over.
Kiana and the captain were responsible for simple tasks like cutting fruit. Soon everyone was ready, and Bronya and Seele led Seena and the children back to the dining table. Kiana and the captain also came over with plates of cut fruit.
Just then, the Herrscher of Knowledge returned from the beach, and soon Kiana and her group's barbecue party officially began. Unfortunately, Durandal and Rita couldn't come because they had to work overtime.
However, Durandal and Kiana assured her that she would go there as soon as she finished dealing with her current matters.
Rita said she would bring some homemade cookies and other snacks and toys for the children, hoping that everyone would keep the children there during this time.
Kiana had nothing to say about Rita's outrageous remarks.
Rita is known for her love of children, and her fondness for Theresa is mainly due to Theresa's incredibly youthful figure.
Rita thought she had hidden it well and that they didn't know. In fact, apart from Durandal who was truly unaware, the others had also noticed to some extent that Rita had a particular fondness for children.
Even after the mission report for the Mars quantum computer was made public, there were rumors that Rita, after seeing the data entity of Durandal in its juvenile form, exuded a terrifyingly low-pressure aura for a whole month afterward.
Anyway, no matter how much Rita couldn't control herself, she wouldn't actually do anything outrageous to these children. Besides, it was her daily routine to go to the Cocolia Orphanage whenever she had free time.
According to Seele, the children really like Rita. In addition, the original intention of this trip was to let these children from the Cocolia Orphanage have a good time for a few days. If they knew that their favorite teacher Rita would also be coming in a few days, they would probably be so excited that they couldn't sleep for the next few days.
The party officially began, and the Herrscher of Knowledge ate barbecue while recounting what had just happened. After finishing, she didn't forget to pick up a soft drink from the table and gulp it down, ending with an unseemly burp.
Fu Hua frowned slightly as she watched the Herrscher of Knowledge's unseemly behavior.
The Herrscher of Knowledge noticed Fu Hua's displeased expression and immediately told her that he would be careful, which finally eased Fu Hua's furrowed brows.
"If you ask me, Kiana, why don't you use my powers to help Alice change her personality? If that doesn't work, I can do it myself."
"Xiao Shi, have you forgotten what you promised me?" Fu Hua said.
"Okay, okay. It's just that I can't use my powers casually, you old fogey, why are you so serious? Then tell me how to change Alice's shy personality."
"Is it really necessary to change her personality? Isn't it enough to just build her self-confidence?"
"That's true, but you've also heard me say it. The confidence that child had worked so hard to build up yesterday was destroyed in no time by the classmate who bullied her. The live broadcast is in a few days, and her classmate will probably come to check again. If something goes wrong, wouldn't she lose face big time?"
"Xiao Shi, you have to understand that some things can't be forced. Since she can't change her personality, just let nature take its course. Besides, there are still a few days left. Spend more time with her these few days, and there will always be an opportunity."
"Sigh! Fine!" The Herrscher of Knowledge sighed and rubbed his head. "It's your way, but let me make it clear beforehand that I'm not responsible for comforting her. Anyway, she has her friends around her, and I have no interest in making trouble for myself."
Seeing this, Fu Hua didn't say anything more, and then looked at Kiana.
"Kiana, can you send me to Kevin and the others after today?"
"Kevin? You mean you want to go to Onpharos?"
“That’s right. This morning, Alicia somehow managed to bypass the group chat system block and messaged me privately, saying she hoped I could come over because she didn’t want to miss the opportunity for the thirteen of us to fight side by side.”
The moment Kiana heard the name Alicia, she understood what had happened.
This morning, Alicia retrieved all of Pure Beauty's power from her. A minute later, this power returned to Kiana's body. At first, Kiana thought Alicia was going to directly deal with Onpharos's problem, but now it seems that she used this power to break through the group chat blockade and send a message to Fu Hua.
As for the Thirteen Heroes fighting side by side, if you think about it carefully, apart from the time with the Paradise Memory, the Thirteen Heroes have never fought side by side together again. No wonder Alicia wanted Fu Hua to go there, and even went so far as to take back all the power from her and transform into a complete Pure Star God just to send a message for less than a minute.
Kiana agreed to Fu Hua's request without hesitation and looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge.
After much hesitation, the Herrscher of Knowledge still did not choose to go with Fu Hua. Watching the Herrscher of Knowledge's melancholy figure, Kiana took Fu Hua to a secluded corner and teleported her to Kevin and the others, casting a blessing on her to ensure that she would definitely arrive at Onpharos intact.
Kiana didn't expect that her teleportation timing was off. It was the moment when Bai E inherited the flame and was preparing to reset the cycle of reincarnation and return everything to its origin. Fu Hua was swept away by this chaotic flow of time the moment she landed and failed to reunite with Kevin and the others.
