The calamities brought by the demonic spirit, though not as directly impactful as war, still erode the hearts of every celestial being.
Ning Yu handed the booklet she had prepared to Ting Yun: "That was the last time we ate together. You can give it to a stranger, or you can keep it yourself."
Tingyun took the booklet, her heart filled with mixed emotions—pain, fear, and sorrow…
However, Tingyun also understood that Auntie's choice stemmed from her care for the future of the Xianzhou people, as well as her sense of mission as a researcher.
“Auntie, I…” Tingyun’s voice choked slightly. She wanted to give Ning Yu her final blessing, but the words stopped at the lips, and she gave him a silent, sudden hug instead.
Ning Yu smiled and hugged Ting Yun tightly. She could feel Ting Yun's breath, youthful and full of vitality. She whispered in his ear:
"Auntie is different from you. Auntie doesn't have your courage or your strength. I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, and I can't wield a three-foot sword to slay enemies for the Immortal Ship. Auntie can only do more for our civilization in my own way."
"I believe you can see the day when the Immortal Ship people completely solve the problem of the Demonic Yin Body. Even if you can't see it, as long as our civilization continues, that day will eventually come."
Chapter 122 Jingyuan: I haven't even given the order to send out troops yet, how did that wretched thing die?
Although the long period of emptiness is drawing to a close, it is still ongoing.
From then on, only one person entered and exited the Tingyun family next door to Bai Yan.
Tragedy after tragedy, such as sons killing their mothers, fathers killing their sons, and teachers slaughtering their students, continued to occur until all possible signs of the demonic entity were detected.
The long and terrifying cosmic tribulation unveiled the beautiful veil of immortality to the people of the Immortal Ship, revealing the horrifying truth within.
The previous fire calamity war also demonstrated to the Immortal Ship people just how wicked the people of Abundance, created by the unrestrained blessings of the [Abundant] Pharmacist, really were.
The name of Shouwen, the calamity of the ancestor, spread far and wide.
Many years later, the Immortal Boat finally almost completely figured out the signs and patterns of falling into the demonic body, and began to predict and control it.
Tingyun knew that the complete resolution of the demonic body problem that Aunt Ningyu mentioned was not a matter of prediction or control.
Fortunately, the long period of emptiness has finally come to an end.
Not long after, a beam of light streaked across the starry sky and descended from the heavens.
We will utterly destroy the planets ravaged by the elusive and monstrous creatures of abundance, along with those creatures whose means of survival is to constantly invade other people's homes and enslave other intelligent races.
First the various immortal ships, then the interstellar peace company, and then other interstellar organizations, people successively confirmed the emergence of the [Hunting] Star God.
The Immortal Boat Alliance was thus established.
After the last fierce war, people witnessed the deeds of the heroes who, like clouds obscuring the sky, protected the celestial ships.
In commemoration of those heroes, and in the hope that future generations would be as brave and valiant as them, the army of the Immortal Boat Alliance was henceforth uniformly called the Cloud Cavalry Army, to pacify the interior and exterior, quell the evil bandits, and protect the Seven Boats.
Ten Kings' Offices were set up to handle matters involving demonic possession, while also keeping watch at night with candles, punishing criminals, and exonerating the wicked.
Together, we will appoint six emperors, respect the virtuous and employ the capable, and follow in the footsteps of the [Hunting] to eradicate the calamity of immortality throughout the world.
May this serve as a tribute to all under heaven, from the highest emperor to the ten kings, to the vast and distant starry sea in the light, and to the heroic spirits of those who perished in the three tribulations in the netherworld, to demonstrate their unwavering resolve.
Over the years, small groups of wealthy people have also been harassing Xianzhou.
The Cloud Cavalry Generals aboard the Immortal Ship also received the blessing of the [Hunting] Star God and became [Hunting] Envoys, which greatly increased the strength of the Immortal Ship.
Unlike the previous defensive approach, when facing these bountiful people again, Xianzhou began to launch a powerful attack.
From the moment Tingyun bid farewell to Ningyu, hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past few hundred years, Tingyun has experienced various battles, both large and small, and inexplicably failed to notice the problem of his own lifespan.
Ordinary fox-people only live for three or four hundred years, and she was long past that age.
Over the years, many of her comrades and friends have left her.
When she returned home during her rare holiday, Aunt Ningyu was no longer there, and Uncle Bai was still drinking tea at the stone table next door.
Tingyun strode over; centuries had passed, and her figure had become much more capable.
But that resolute and determined look was still hidden beneath his smile.
"Uncle Bai, drinking tea again? Have you eaten yet? Would you like me to show you my cooking skills?"
Tingyun did not change her habits from before she became a warrior, and still referred to herself as a "little woman".
However, her words were only gentle when she smiled at her compatriots.
When facing enemies, Tingyun's sword is sharp enough to cut through anything; when facing family and friends, she always wears a smile on her face.
Bai Yan put down his teacup and poured her another one: "You've learned quite a bit of Ning Yu's cooking skills. But your Uncle Bai isn't hungry, let's sit down and chat for a while."
Tingyun didn't stand on ceremony and sat down opposite him: "Uncle Bai, what would you like to talk about today?"
"Do you remember what I told you before you picked up the sword?"
"remember."
Tingyun knew which sentence the other person was referring to: "Are you willing to scavenge in the sea of history and inherit the ordinary yet great will of those who are strangers to you?"
Uncle Bai took a sip of tea and nodded: "Hmm. I remember your answer was yes. How's it going?"
Tingyun didn't understand what Uncle Bai meant by "complete strangers".
Because Uncle Bai only suggested that she collect the last testaments of people close to her... even though they were people close to her... why did Uncle Bai say they were complete strangers...?
However, Uncle Bai said he would explain this to her later, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Tingyun's smile faded, and his hand unconsciously touched the hilt of his sword: "I remember the look in the eyes of every comrade who sacrificed himself before my eyes. I failed to protect everyone."
What about those legacy messages?
"Some want to kill the Wingers who killed their loved ones, some follow in the footsteps of the Emperor Bow Master and are determined to eradicate the Abundant Evil, and some... most of them are driven by family feuds and national hatred."
Most of the Cloud Cavalry living in this era had lost loved ones due to the Three Calamities and other wars in Fengrao, and had witnessed the tragic scene of their compatriots' blood staining the earth.
"Are you willing to carry the legacy of everyone on your shoulders?"
Tingyun was about to speak, but Baiyan didn't give her the chance to answer: "This is a very heavy question, you don't need to answer me now."
……
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Tingyun also received a new task:
"A small-scale, abundant monster has appeared behind Luofu. The Tingyun Guards are now dispatched to wipe it out."
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
In the real world, there is the Luofu Immortal Ship and the Shence Mansion.
The female strategist Qingzu beside Jingyuan summarized simply: "General, a small group of Fengrao monsters are attacking from behind Luofu in a single ship. The initial assessment is that they are testing us."
"Ah."
Jing Yuan looked at the military planning map in front of him, preparing to devise a plan: "Then..."
"Om-"
After a notification tone, the electronic virtual military planning map, which was kept updated in real time by the intelligence department, suddenly changed.
The small red enemy markers behind the Luofu Immortal Boat in the picture suddenly disappeared.
Qingzu said meaningfully, "General, your reaction is truly swift. Before you even gave the order to send troops, the small-scale scouting party of the Abundant Wild Things behind Luofu has already been defeated."
"Ok?"
Jing Yuan frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Quickly defeating the opponent was indeed the best strategy in his response.
But... he hasn't given the order yet.
"Who commanded the counterattack?" Jing Yuan asked, his voice carrying a hint of scrutinizing calm.
Qingzu quickly received the battle report from the intelligence department and said, "It was that fox-person, Miss Qingyun, who recently returned from outer space. She single-handedly slaughtered that group of abundant scum without leaving a single survivor."
Qingzu changed the subject: "However... even if former members of the Tianbo Division returned to their posts urgently due to the war, this unauthorized attack would not be carried out under such procedures."
Chapter 123 Stop Yunmeng and Slay the Evil Thing
Yichen Inn.
Bai Yan watched with interest as Ting Yun walked back from outside the door with her eyes closed.
She put the sword away and then calmly lay back down on the bed.
Bai Yan smiled meaningfully: "Immersed in the virtual world, the consciousness unconsciously transmits instructions to the body in the real world through the nervous system."
"They blindly regarded the enemy in reality as the enemy in history, and with the fox people's keen perception and the nerve reactions honed in the numerous battles, large and small, during the Blood War, they fought with their eyes closed and relied on their physical instincts."
The team that probed the immortal ship was indeed not strong, but Tingyun, who went to attack them, was completely unaware of the danger during the battle.
As Bai Yan spoke, he looked at Ruan Mei, whom he had secretly picked up from the Starry Sky Train: "Would you call this sleepwalking?"
Ruan Mei tasted the snacks brought by the inn's room service and wiped her mouth with a tissue: "Whether it counts as sleepwalking or not, I have no idea, but I do know that when [life] encounters surprises, it will be eager to share them with others."
Don't you enjoy the occasional surprises that happen during the breeding process?
Ruan Mei remained calm, took a sip of tea, and said, "I like it, but this experiment is not the type of experiment I'm interested in."
Bai Yan unbuttoned one button on his shirt: "How about I give you an extra reward today? Consider it payment for sharing this surprise with me. Go close the door."
When Tingyun returned, the door was not closed.
Nguyen Mai put down her teacup, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she got up to walk to the door and close it.
A passing waiter overheard her conversation with Bai Yan and also saw a fox-woman walk in.
The waitress looked disgusted and complained, "This is really indecent."
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
At this time, the Shence Palace.
Jing Yuan's voice was calm, making it difficult for the strategist Chang Qingzu beside him to discern his emotions: "The situation is special, and the matter of rewards and punishments should be discussed after the battle."
Qingzu nodded: "As you say, General."
Anyone who disobeys orders and interferes with military operations, even if it does not cause serious consequences, must be severely punished. We cannot set a precedent to prevent others from vying for credit and acting rashly.
