The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 21 Danheng, Drinking the Moon

A new day, a new beginning.

"Good morning, Huaifeng." Xing greeted Meng Huaifeng sleepily, looking as lazy as a little raccoon.

"Good morning, Sister Ji sent us a message to come down for lunch." Meng Huaifeng went down the stairs first, leaving Xing with the space.

Walter, Himeko, and Danheng were already waiting at the dining table, while March 7th looked like he was sleeping in, just like Hoshi.

After exchanging greetings, Meng Huaifeng went straight to Dan Heng and said, "Dan Heng, could you give me a drop of your blood? I studied my martial soul again last night and discovered that my fifth soul skill has a special effect..."

Meng Huaifeng explained the effects of his soul skill, and Dan Heng gave Meng Huaifeng a drop of his blood without any hesitation.

This is trust!

Under everyone's curious gaze, Meng Huaifeng dripped Dan Heng's blood onto his phone, and his fifth soul ring lit up.

"Fifth Soul Skill, True Game!"

As the soul skill was used, a large amount of imaginary energy was extracted and integrated into Dan Heng's blood.

A voice from the depths of the universe posed a question to Meng Huaifeng.

"Create a character?"

"Yes."

Please select your gender.

You can even choose the gender?
"That...woman."

"Adjust appearance? The default initial appearance is that of the blood donor."

Meng Huaifeng looked at the blurry image of the figure on his retina, which only he could see, and took a deep breath.

Mmm, bro, you smell so good.

I don't think it needs adjusting.

Please name the character.

"Let's call it Drinking the Moon."

"Confirm character generation?"

"confirm."

As Meng Huaifeng confirmed it, the drop of blood quickly began to change, and with a burst of light blue, a female version of Dan Heng appeared before everyone.

There was silence.

Everyone was stunned; no one spoke.

"Explain yourself, why is it a woman?" Dan Heng's face darkened, and he asked, enunciating each word clearly.

Judging from the way his right hand was clenched, if it weren't for his partner, he probably would have already drawn his Cloud-Striking Spear and stabbed someone.

"Who plays games with a male character? Female characters are obviously more pleasing to the eye," Meng Huaifeng said somewhat guiltily.

"Then why do you look just like me?"

"The blood was provided by you, and based on the DNA information, it naturally looks just like you."

"Since it's my DNA, it should be an XY chromosome, right?" Dan Heng stared coldly at Meng Huaifeng. Meng Huaifeng's eyes darted around, not daring to meet his gaze, and he felt even more guilty.

According to genetics, a person's sex is determined by the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. When the chromosomes are XY, the person is male, and when they are XX, the person is female.

"Generally speaking, that's true. But this is a game; there's a 50/50 chance of it being a man and a 50/50 chance of it being a woman." Unable to explain, Meng Huaifeng could only make things up.

"Heh, do you think I believe you or not?" Dan Heng sneered.

Just then, March 7th had finished washing up and arrived at the restaurant.

"Good morning, everyone. Sister Ji Zi, Uncle Yang, and Dan Heng... Sister?! So Dan Heng is my sister? Why didn't I know before? Why did you pretend to be a boy before? You lied to me for so long, that's too much!" When San Yueqi saw Yin Yue, his voice immediately rose eight octaves, and the last bit of sleepiness vanished instantly. He excitedly grabbed Yin Yue and looked her up and down, as if he had seen a ghost.

Dan Heng's face darkened further: "March, I am Dan Heng!"

"Huh?" March turned her head and saw the real Dan Heng. Her jaw almost dropped in shock: "Two...two Dan Hengs?"

"Quickly, change my gender back!" Dan Heng glared at Meng Huaifeng.

Meng Huaifeng shrugged and said dismissively, "It can't be changed. The clone has already been formed. The only way to change it is to delete the account."

How do I cancel my account?

"Kill this clone and create a new account."

Dan Heng summoned the Cloud-Striking Spear. Following Meng Huaifeng's thought, Yin Yue, temporarily controlled by artificial intelligence, tilted her head slightly, exposing the fatal weakness in her throat.

Tears slid down Yin Yue's smooth, pretty face, gathered at her chin, and finally dripped slowly. Her misty pupils revealed a hint of reluctance, a lingering attachment to life. Her lips trembled slightly but ultimately remained silent, as if she had a thousand words to say, which eventually sank into the depths of her heart.

With that look of someone offering their neck for execution, what good person could bear to do it?
Is Danheng a good person?

Yes!
So he gripped the Cloud-Striking Spear tightly in his hand, raising it again and again. Even though he knew it wasn't a real person, Dan Heng still couldn't bring himself to do it.

Yin Yue took a step forward, raised the spearhead with her delicate hand, pressed it against her neck, closed her eyes, and only her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Dan Heng's hands, which were usually motionless while holding the gun, trembled slightly. He looked pleadingly at Himeko, Walter, and March 7.

Himeko and Welt turned their heads slightly, while March Seven clutched her chest and took a step back: "Don't look at me, I can't do it."

Yin Yue took another step forward, and the sharp tip of the spear easily pierced Yin Yue's tender skin, drawing out a trickle of blood that was so striking against her fair neck.

Dan Heng's pupils contracted, and he instinctively withdrew his Strike Cloud Spear.

"Well, you gave up on deleting your account yourself, so don't blame me. Don't bother me again in the future," Meng Huaifeng said hurriedly.

"Hmph, I won't let her show her face in front of me again."

Dan Heng glared at Meng Huaifeng for a long time, then finally snorted coldly, put away his Cloud-Striking Spear, turned his anger into appetite, and started eating breakfast in silence.

It seems they've already tacitly agreed.

"Wow, I didn't expect Danheng to be so beautiful even as a girl. Let me study her." Xing had come down at some point, her eyes shining as she tried to grope Yinyue.

Meng Huaifeng quickly logged off in his mind, and Yin Yue's body flickered and disappeared into thin air.

"Huh? Where did she go?" Xing said unwillingly. She hadn't even touched her yet, she was so close!

“She usually exists within my spirit ring,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"Your martial soul is more fun. Let's switch martial souls." Xing looked at Meng Huaifeng with envy.

"Didn't you say you wanted a powerful and imposing martial spirit?" Meng Huaifeng pouted.

"That was before. Now I think it's not as good as yours."

Oh, a fickle woman.

Himeko gently patted Meng Huaifeng's shoulder and teased, "Huaifeng, don't secretly do bad things to your clone when you're alone."

Danheng was a beat slower in eating, and Meng Huaifeng smiled awkwardly: "How could that be? Definitely not."

After breakfast, the pioneering team set off again, and this time they wouldn't be returning to the train for a while.

Walter had already told them that after they left, he would also be driving a train to this universe to lay star tracks, and Himeko would be conducting secluded research on the train, so they wouldn't have any free time for a while.

Their safety is not a concern; with Dan Heng's hidden power, he is practically invincible on this planet.

If they encounter danger, with Meng Huaifeng's martial spirit present, they can contact each other at any time and instantly teleport over using the power of expansion and the boundary anchor.

　I wanted to post some pictures of Dan Heng's work, but I can't post illustrations for unsigned works! So annoying!
