After finishing their meal, everyone gathered in the living room.
"Aunt, what kind of mission is it? You can tell us now, right?" Kiana asked anxiously.
"Alright, what's the rush?" Theresa said after glancing at Kiana.
"Regarding Himeko's physical condition." Theresa looked at Himeko, and after Himeko nodded, Theresa continued.
"You should know a little about Himeko's physical condition."
"Himeko's body is in very poor condition due to the side effects of the Artificial Stigmata."
"I won't explain the side effects of the Artificial Stigmata too clearly to you; you just need to know that the side effects of the Artificial Stigmata will make Himeko endure pain every day."
"Endure pain? But I saw Sister Himeko..." Kiana looked at Himeko.
"Don't speak. Wait until I finish before you ask," Theresa said with a frown.
"Ah, oh!" Kiana quickly nodded, then covered her mouth with her hand to indicate she wouldn't interrupt again.
"As for how to solve the side effects, our idea is to find a natural Stigmata for Himeko."
"So, this mission is to search for a natural Stigmata."
Theresa said this and projected a historical record on her communicator, a History about Jiulin.
"In this History, there is the place where Jiulin died. We believe that Jiulin's Stigmata did not disappear."
"And then, regarding the location of Jiulin's death, it is Jiuyou." At this point, Theresa looked a bit dispirited.
"But we haven't found the exact location of Jiuyou."
"I know the location of Jiuyou," Xiao Xuan said, floating next to Fu Hua.
"You know?" Theresa looked at Xiao Xuan in surprise.
"Yes, I know very well. After all, it was my creator who sealed Qi You back then," Xiao Xuan nodded.
"Sealed Qi You? Wait, in History, wasn't it Jiulin who sealed Qi You?" Theresa asked.
"Besides Jiulin, there were other people. After all, Qi You is a Judgment-class Honkai Beast. Jiulin, that little girl, couldn't seal it alone," Xiao Xuan floated to the table and then jumped onto it.
"At that time, there were three people who sealed Qi You." Xiao Xuan reached out and touched the projection on the communicator.
The projection immediately changed, then projected the images of three people.
When Fu Hua saw them, she felt a sense of familiarity but couldn't recall who they were.
"Those who sealed Qi You, according to the myths of Shenzhou, were Jiulin, Nuwa, and Fu Xi."
"Xiao Xuan, this Fu Xi in the projection looks so much like you," Kiana said, looking at the projection and then at Xiao Xuan.
"Of course, it looks like me! I was created by Danzhu in the image of her older sister, Cangxuan. Otherwise, why do you think I'm called Book of Fuxi?" Xiao Xuan pointed at Nuwa in the projection.
"Oh, Nuwa is my creator, Danzhu, and Fu Xi is Danzhu's older sister, Cangxuan."
"Does Jiulin have a natural Stigmata on her?" Theresa asked.
"Stigmata? Of course, she does! It's just that Jiulin's Stigmata might not be compatible with Himeko's body," Xiao Xuan said, looking at Himeko. "Besides, why not just remove the so-called Artificial Stigmata? That should be very simple, right?"
"Because I still need that power," Himeko said.
"Xiao Xuan, as for whether the Stigmata is compatible or not, don't we have to find it first to know? Please tell us the location of Jiuyou first," Elysia said.
"The location of Jiuyou..." Xiao Xuan tapped a few times on the projection, and then a map appeared.
After overlaying this map with the current map, Xiao Xuan pointed to a location and said, "It's at this location."
Looking at the location on the map, everyone realized that Jiuyou was in the ocean.
"Aunt, when are we going on the mission?" Kiana asked Theresa.
"What's the rush! Wait until the holiday!" Theresa glared at Kiana.
"Eh, but if we get the natural Stigmata earlier, Sister Himeko can use it, right?"
"Kiana, I don't need you to worry like this. If we just go on the mission now, what about the other students? So, it has to be during the holiday," Himeko said.
"Regarding the place where Jiulin died, Xiao Xuan, I need to tell you in advance, it's inside Qi You," Xiao Xuan said.
"Inside Qi You?"
"That's right! After all, Qi You is a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, so it's definitely not easy to deal with. Otherwise, my creators wouldn't have chosen to seal it," Xiao Xuan nodded.
"Judgment-class? How could it be Judgment-class?!" Theresa exclaimed in surprise.
(Here, Theresa and the others thought that in ancient times, at most, only Emperor-class would appear, but they didn't expect it to be Judgment-class, thinking that History exaggerated.)
"Aunt, what level of Honkai Beast is Judgment-class? Doesn't the textbook only go up to Emperor-class?" Kiana asked, scratching her head.
Theresa didn't pay attention to Kiana's words. Theresa and Himeko exchanged glances, both of them looking very serious now.
"This mission, we'll talk about it later. Himeko and I need to consider it." With that, Theresa picked up her communicator and pulled Himeko upstairs.
"Huh? What's going on?" Kiana asked, looking at the two who went straight upstairs, a little displeased.
