Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 528 Interstellar Diplomacy
"The chariot of Lord Youyun has set off once again, and the connection between the worlds is only a matter of time."

"To be honest, our [Luofu] [Minghuo] Merchant Guild is quite well-known throughout the world. If you don't mind, once the Star Train connects the two worlds, and the [Minghuo] Merchant Guild comes to visit, we might be able to establish trade and alliances and become friends."

Jingyuan took a small sip of tea from his teacup.

In stark contrast to the surrounding milk tea shops, their table exuded the aroma of tea.

Although the ancient sun god didn't know how to drink tea, he could still imitate Jingyuan's actions and drank it quite well.

It was Amon who teased Jingyuan's "cat" tea pet, deceiving it and making it think it was alive, emitting a faint lion's roar.

"Although I cannot represent the entire Earth, I believe I am indeed qualified to accept your kindness on behalf of the Earth." The ancient sun god extended his hand and shook hands with Jing Yuan.

“The same goes for me,” Jing Yuan replied with a smile, modestly. “Although I am somewhat arrogant enough to represent [Luofu], I cannot represent the entire Immortal Ship.”

"You guys are still so separate?" Amon asked curiously. "I heard you're part of an alliance, and you're even a general. How come you can't make decisions?"

“Although the alliance is united, outsiders do often refer to [Luofu] directly as the Immortal Boat,” Jing Yuan patiently explained, “but the Immortal Boat is not the same as [Luofu]. [Luofu] is [Luofu].”

After saying that, he blew on his cup and said, "Besides, the title of general is only temporary, and I am indeed an old man."

He smiled and showed the still-steaming teacup: "Look, I can't even drink tea that's too hot these days, and I'm not used to drinking overly fresh beverages."

"However, we have a diviner named Fu Xuan in Luofu who is quite fond of this subject and is still young. When the time comes, it might be more appropriate for her to speak with you all."

The Serres doll touched the teapot beside it with its hand: "Where is it hot? It's not hot here."

He could understand Jingyuan's meaning, of course, but he really disliked this roundabout way of speaking.

Jingyuan wasn't angry. He put down the teacup and said, "You touched it with your insensitive body, so it's naturally not hot."

He said it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering, shut up and get lost.

Erha helped Serres translate into plain language.

“I know Fu Xuan. Serres told me about her. I remember Serres said she wasn’t tall, but her skills were top-notch,” Amon replied.

"That assessment is quite fair."

The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

And so, in a Jade Palace Immortal Boat-themed milk tea shop opened by the Masked Fool in another world, a Luofu person and an ancient person finalized diplomacy with Earth.

Could this be considered a kind of Sino-Soviet relationship?
This may be the inevitability of fate.

Even for the "world," fate is a rather wondrous thing.

Fate is a strange thing, isn't it?

Besides Jing Yuan, two other "outsiders" also did similar things to varying degrees.

Sand Gold undoubtedly established friendly relations with Silver City and cooperated with Colin Iliad, the envoy of [Storage], through information asymmetry. Meanwhile, Estelle, the young lady of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, represented the Black Tower Space Station and reached some inconsequential cooperation with the noble forces on Earth.

Although Estelle herself has little interest in diplomacy, having more friends means having more options, and she believes that Lady Black Tower will support her exploration of the other world.

There is only one exception.

"Partner, are you sure this is how you eat it?"

"Stop talking and keep eating."

"But……"

Bai E looked at the pair of dead fish eyes staring at him and felt he couldn't bring himself to eat them.

This thing, written as "Stargazers" but read as "Death by Regret," left Behrs somewhat at a loss for words. This was at the St. Clyne Church in Backlund.

For some reason, there were an unusually large number of people eating in this church.

Eating is not prohibited here, only strongly flavored foods, such as hot pot, are prohibited.

However, light-tasting foods are not prohibited; on the contrary, there is a notice on the wall that says, "If you are tired from praying, have a piece of candy to relax."

Below the notice was a bowl filled with all kinds of candy.

People who pray here are always particularly prone to cravings, especially their love for sweets. People who don't usually eat sweets will unconsciously bring candy after visiting the St. Clyne Church a few times.

“This is the blessing of the Lord’s sweet angel,” said Archbishop Serres.

While Bai E hesitated, Xing took out another cake from her backpack.

This cake left Bai Er speechless.

It was a black raven with a still-beating black heart stuck in its chest.

“Although it looks rather outrageous, it is indeed a cake,” Xing explained. “It’s called ‘Unwavering Hatred’.”

“Um…” Bai E hesitated, then said, “A good name.”

“Our lives are too short to have much time for hatred.” The Starfall Cake was handed to Bai E.

"Come on, eat it."

“Don’t back down, step forward, Savior. Let me see your courage!” Xing said righteously.

"Or is it that Bai E of the Ai Li Secret Pavilion is only capable of this much? If the crown prince of Xuanfeng City were here, he certainly wouldn't hesitate!"

Hagi used the skill [Provocation], which was extremely effective.

"Of course I won't lose to him!" Bai E accepted this "unwavering hatred until death," and without hesitation, opened his mouth and bit off the crow's head.

In an instant, Bai E felt as if he had let go of something in his heart, as if something had become much lighter, and he felt unusually relaxed, as if he had cast off a non-existent burden.

“This is hatred,” Xing explained. “After you eat it, you will digest a small portion of the ‘hatred’ along with this ‘unwavering hatred’.”

“You don’t need to be so tense,” Xing said. “After all, you are the sun that will eventually rise, and it wouldn’t be good if something went wrong halfway through.”

"Relax a little, relax."

Bai E opened his mouth, but said nothing, only replying in a low voice, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Xing then produced a pair of donuts that looked like handcuffs as if by magic. "Come on, in the very last moment, eat away your own shackles."

she says.

"This cake is called 'A Moment of Freedom'."

"Perhaps you do have a mission to complete, but until then, you can enjoy this freedom to the fullest."

"After you finish eating, I'll take you to find someone to ask how to fight against different consciousnesses. Let me tell you, the people on this planet are very experienced in this area."

"..."

"Thank you."
