Stephen Chow shook his head helplessly. He only ordered his milk tea with 30% sugar, and adding sugar would be the death of him.
I picked up the tea, which had long since gone cold, and drank it down in one gulp. The bitter taste instantly washed away the sweetness in my mouth.
It seems this tea isn't without its merits; sometimes it's too sweet, so you need to balance it with a touch of bitterness.
"In private, sir, please don't call me Fu Taibu anymore; it sounds too formal."
Fu Xuan put down his milk tea and glanced at Zhou Xingxing.
"Then what should I be called? Fu Qing?"
"Pfft... Sir... That's how the General addresses me. Although it implies closeness, there's still a certain official air between us. It's inappropriate for you to address me as a friend."
Fu Xuan almost spat out his drink. He hadn't expected that Zhou Xingxing would find out about this nickname. But then he thought about it and realized it would be strange if he didn't know about such a small thing.
"Talisman?"
"It sounds like a pet's name..."
"Xuan'er?"
"Ah, this...is this form of address a bit too...that..."
Fu Xuan blushed slightly upon hearing this. Usually, only extremely close friends or family members would use such a form of address...
I never expected you to be so bold as to address me like that on our first meeting.
"Sigh, the Grand Diviner is really hard to please,"
Upon hearing this, Stephen Chow shook his head. "Your name only has two characters. How else can you come up with a name? You can count the possible combinations on one hand."
Mysterious Talisman? Xuanxuan?
How about we learn from Jing Yuanyuan and call her Fu Xuanxuan?
It actually rhymes quite well.
"It's alright, it's alright! Then...then we'll do as you prefer, sir, call him Xuan'er..."
Fu Xuan blushed and said shyly.
Seeing this, Stephen Chow couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Why did he blush when he was given a nickname?
Oh...right. Thinking about it, this name sounds exactly like the nickname your parents gave you when you were a kid running around naked in the streets. No wonder...
However, since Fu Xuan had already agreed, it wouldn't be right for me to think of another one, so I'll just leave it at that.
"Sir, matters concerning the Imperial Apothecary cannot be delayed any longer. I, Fu Xuan, will take my leave now. Once everything is settled... I will certainly show you the beautiful scenery of Luofu Mountain."
"Alright, then I'll wait for Xuan'er to be my tour guide."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan was secretly delighted. He then bowed to Zhou Xingxing and turned to leave with a smug look on his face.
Stephen Chow poured himself another cup of tea, drank it down in one gulp, got up, and headed out the door.
After the two had left, a figure slowly appeared.
"It's quite interesting that there are such people on this Star Train... I just wonder how much of this game you've figured out."
Jing Yuan squinted at the doorway and muttered to himself for a moment before disappearing again.
The center of Xingchahai.
The group led Danheng to the Yichen Inn to prevent him from getting lost and not finding a place to stay that night.
"Here we are, our hotel. Miss Tingyun booked a deluxe room for us. It's very comfortable."
He introduced it to Danheng on March 7th.
"Speaking of which, we didn't expect Danheng to come, so Miss Tingyun booked five rooms for us..."
Bronya suddenly had an idea and said to March 7.
"Does that mean we'll have to pay for one room out of our own pocket?"
Qiong's eyes widened, then she glanced at the room rate. Superior Room, 68000 Credits/Day.
I must say, it's quite expensive.
"Don't worry, Miss Tingyun said before that all the expenses this time will be recorded on Tianbo Company's account."
Seeing everyone looking so poor, Walter shook his head.
"Oh right! I forgot!"
Qiong suddenly realized what was happening, and then gave the fox-woman at the front desk a smug smile.
"Please upgrade all of us to the presidential suite."
"Hey! Even though we're not paying for it, don't go too far!"
It was stopped immediately on March 7th.
In the end, Danheng only asked for a regular guest room, saying that he was used to staying in the archives and was not used to a room that was too big.
"How about it? Want to go for another stroll? We've completed our mission and feel much more relaxed now."
March 7th chuckled.
"Anyway, that Fu Taibu said he would send someone to invite us later. Instead of waiting obediently, we might as well take this opportunity to explore. I heard there is a Golden Man Alley nearby that sells all kinds of Xianzhou specialties and snacks."
"Yeah."
Qiong agreed without hesitation.
"If you're all going, of course I'll go too."
Bronya nodded as well.
"Hehe, you two really are my best sisters."
On March 7th, she walked between the two, linked arms with one of them, and happily prepared to set off.
"Don't overdo it. Although Kafka's matter has been resolved, there is still a star core on this immortal ship, so we can't let our guard down."
"Yes, yes, yes, I got it, Uncle Yang!"
March 7th responded as if the words had gone in one ear and out the other.
Just as everyone was preparing to take their own actions, a deafening roar was heard in the distance, as if something had exploded.
When the crowd arrived, they could only hear the surrounding people shouting loudly.
"Oh no! The two starships have collided and exploded!"
"Quickly, go and fetch the people from the Alchemy Bureau to rescue them!"
The nearby Yunqi soldiers also came over to find out what was going on.
"What happened?! Where are the injured?"
A fox-woman quickly came out.
"I just saw a starship speeding by and collide with another starship. On the starship that was hit, there was a little girl with pigtails and a blond-haired alien..."
Everyone was speechless upon hearing this.
A little girl with pigtails, a blonde barbarian...
Could that be the same Su Chang and Luocha we encountered before?!
Chapter 133 Convergence
After leaving the Shence Mansion, Zhou Xingxing decided to check where the others were, since he had just said he would accompany Bronya shopping.
Before I could even take out my phone, I saw a group of people gathered in front of me, making a lot of noise.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be several wounded Yunqi soldiers lying there, with a physician from the Dan Ding Division examining their injuries.
"Why does it look familiar?"
Just as I was thinking this, I heard a Yun cavalryman on the ground suddenly roar in pain, then clutch his head and twitch his body wildly.
I was wondering why they looked so familiar; turns out they were about to be collectively possessed by demons.
Zhou Xingxing looked around. It seemed that there were no other Cloud Cavalry troops here to maintain order, since everyone was currently focused on searching for the Star Core, which was understandable.
Since that's the case, I'll have to take matters into my own hands.
"Everyone back off! Take this heavy blow that will paralyze you!"
A small figure came whistling through the air, its tail crackling with electricity.
Then, it flew up and spun around, striking the demonic figure in the face and knocking it to the ground.
"Lie down properly, I'm going to give you your medicine now."
Bai Lu had just taken out her medicine gourd and was about to feed the fallen demonic cloud rider medicine when she suddenly felt the sun disappear.
Upon closer inspection, several enormous shadows slowly rose before his eyes.
Bai Lu immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the other Cloud Riders had also turned into demonic spirits?
He slowly turned around and saw several demonic figures standing behind him, staring at him menacingly.
"Wow--!"
"Dragon Girl, run!"
The surrounding crowd had long since dispersed, and they shouted to Bailu from a distance.
"Why did everyone run so fast without calling me?!"
When Bai Lu saw that the crowd had all run away, she was immediately furious.
Just as she was about to run away, two more demonic figures appeared in front of her, and in an instant, the demonic figures surrounded Bailu from four directions.
Bai Lu gave an awkward smile.
"Um... I just asked the person on the ground to lie down... Can I leave now?"
Just as the four demonic figures roared and were about to attack, a figure suddenly flashed by.
Bang bang bang bang—
With four muffled thuds, the four Cloud Cavalry soldiers who had just transformed into demonic bodies collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Bai Lu looked at the fallen demonic figure in surprise, then at the newcomer.
