"Miss March 7th is too kind. Tingyun prepared a gift for me, and as a fellow ferryman, I naturally cannot be impolite."
On March 7th, she looked at Yanming, her tone tinged with sadness. Her bet with Xing wasn't just a joke; it was an expression of anticipation.
It's more accurate to describe their guesses as well as bets.
She chose that Iwaaki would come, so Hoshino could only choose the other option: not to come. She just blurted it out first.
"Mr. Iwaaki, what have you prepared?"
Yanming hesitated slightly and felt a little embarrassed when asked this question.
"I brought a kite. Although it can't compare to the valuable gift Tingyun gave me, this return gift has its own significance."
"Because in the customs of the fox people, kites are a comfort to the souls of those aviators who can no longer take flight. Although Tingyun and I are not real aviators, we have spent our whole lives interacting with the starry sky."
With a look of reminiscence in his eyes, Yanming handed the paper kite to Yukong, then turned to look at the starship prepared for Tingyun.
"I think she would be very happy if Tingyun could fly again."
At this moment, Xing gently tugged at March 7's sleeve, signaling him to step forward.
Walter, who had been watching the two of them, was somewhat surprised. When did these two children agree to this? They hadn't discussed this matter along the way.
When Walter saw March 7th step forward at Xing's prompting and hand over a small seal, he suddenly felt that he had truly grown old.
These two children have made great progress by following Chen Jie around, which explains why they like to go to the back of the train to chat with him when the train is traveling.
It is under these unconscious circumstances that vitality sprouts and thrives.
Looking at the seal in his hand, Yu Kong sighed deeply.
"Thank you for everything you've done for the Sky Ship Bureau and for Luofu. This small seal is the cornerstone of the Immortal Ship's prosperity."
Xing, carrying the box, slowly walked forward to March 7th's side. March 7th immediately opened the box and took out the contents one by one, placing them on Xing's raft.
"This is tea that Miss Mengming prepared for you, named after you. And this is a gift from Miss Yancui and the merchants of Jinren Lane. I'm sure you'll like it."
As the gifts were placed one by one onto the starship and the box was closed again, the gift-giving ceremony was complete.
Yanming sighed with deep emotion, "This time, we don't need to compete. Go, fly to a higher and farther world."
Yu Kong slowly stepped forward, looked at the starship, and gently stroked it.
"I will not forget you, nor will the Sky Ship Bureau. If you perish, I will avenge you."
After saying that, Yu Kong took out something that looked like a walkie-talkie.
"The time has come; it is time to hold the ceremony. Everyone, let's proceed together to the Kunyu Terrace."
On the immortal ship, the Kunyu Platform
A little fox-person girl, holding her mother's hand, looked curiously at the star raft flying overhead and subconsciously pointed at it, asking...
"Mom, why are there so many starships on our fairy ship today?"
Her mother gently stroked her hair with pity and love: "Child, those starships carry our people, and also protect our cloud riders. They are going to watch over us in a farther, higher world."
The fox-girl didn't understand and shook her mother's arm with a puzzled look.
"A more distant and higher world? Why go there? They can see us from their celestial ship."
The fox-woman smiled without speaking, only gently stroking her daughter's cheek with a hint of sorrow in her eyes.
"Child, you'll understand when you're older."
At this moment, everyone on the Luofu Immortal Ship looked up as starships slowly flew through the sky, one after another, heading towards the opened Jade Realm Gate.
They were all victims of this disaster, not just the fox people, but also the Cloud Cavalry and the innocent Immortal Ship people who perished.
Everyone watched this scene, their eyes filled with a mixture of sorrow and well wishes.
Chapter 139: Hunting Front Dysprosium
Yanqing and Fuxuan accompanied Chenjie and Jingyuan to watch the ceremony from a position near the front of the Kunyu Platform.
Chen Jie and Jing Yuan stood at the forefront, silently watching this scene.
"You haven't seen this in a long time, have you?"
When Jing Yuan asked him, a look of reminiscence appeared in Chen Jie's eyes.
"It's been a long time, almost a hundred years, but I still remember how, in such a situation, her killing intent would roar like a hurricane, hidden in her eyes."
"After each memorial service, she would vow that after a period of recuperation, she would return with an even more fierce and invincible spirit to break through barriers and charge ahead to protect the people."
"I can already imagine that she now takes it upon herself to hunt down a Great Lord of Annihilation."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan's expression shifted: "I will report the matter of Luofu to the Marshal when we return later."
Fu Xuan glanced at the two of them; they were starting to speak in riddles again. Then he turned to look at Yan Qing's clenched fist and felt a little surprised.
"The Emperor of Bows and Fates has already included [Destruction] in his vengeance; His blade will guide us to victory."
"I will definitely grow to the point where I can help the general before then."
Huh? Fu Xuan was somewhat surprised by this answer, but at the same time felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.
If it were the previous Yanqing, she believed it would be difficult for the other party to compete with her for the position of general, given her young age and complete ignorance of political affairs.
But now, does Yanqing also want to follow the path of General Tianji? Then my vision will be difficult to achieve.
Upon hearing Yan Qing's words, Chen Jie's eyes flickered slightly, and with a flip of his hand, a strange card appeared in his palm.
"Really? Then I'll give you something to give you a strong sense of urgency to motivate you, how about that?"
Just moments ago, Yan Qing was full of youthful enthusiasm, but at this moment he froze for a moment and subconsciously took the card that Chen Jie handed him.
Fu Xuan curiously craned his neck, and was stunned when he saw what it was.
"What is this? One side is a ball of light, the other side is the character for 'evil'? Is this ball of light the Year Sun?"
Fu Xuan and Yan Qing didn't recognize the item, but Jing Yuan did. Seeing Chen Jie give it to Yan Qing, he became restless.
"You should take this back. I'm afraid it will put too much pressure on Yanqing if he keeps it."
Without hesitation, Yanqing put the Demon-Sealing Talisman into his pocket.
"This is a gift from my senior, meant to encourage me. I, Yanqing, will certainly not disappoint him. Whatever it may be, I will strive forward and live up to the expectations of the general and my senior."
Seeing that even his good disciple had said so, Jing Yuan could only shake his head helplessly.
"Yanqing, do you know what this thing is?"
"I don't know"
Seeing Yanqing's matter-of-fact attitude, Jingyuan didn't know what to say.
After being beaten and lectured by Chen Jie, Yan Qing has become more restrained. She no longer attacks blindly as before and has learned to develop her strength secretly.
There's not much to say about that, but for Luofu right now, this thing is nothing short of a disaster.
Left with no other option, Jingyuan had to explain.
"This item is half of Huanlong's original essence, sealing half of Huanlong's energy. Yanqing, do you understand now?"
"Half of Huanlong's origin? You have that ability?"
The one with the strongest reaction was Fu Xuan; she was completely dumbfounded when she heard that this thing could actually seal half of the Illusionary Human.
"Not only can I seal Huanlong, I can also imprison your general inside."
Chen Jie rolled his eyes; he truly hadn't expected to be underestimated.
Yanqing, who was standing to the side, remained silent after hearing this. Jingyuan thought there was a chance and was about to speak up to ask for a reply when he was frightened by what Yanqing said next.
"It's alright. The Immortal Ship Alliance now regards [Destruction] as a scourge. As a valiant guard, I cannot be afraid under any circumstances."
"This item could indeed lure Huanlong here to trap him like a turtle in a jar."
Jing Yuan's eyes lit up upon receiving this answer, and Chen Jie nodded in satisfaction.
"Sword practice naturally requires strength, but more important than strength is flexibility; otherwise, even the best sword will break."
"It's a big step forward that you can understand this principle."
"General, have your injuries healed?"
"Oh? Are you the passengers of the Star Train?"
"I'm sorry to have troubled you all these past few days."
Jing Yuan looked at the approaching March 7th and the others, and couldn't help but smile back.
"General, you flatter me. However, while preparing the gifts, I saw a ball of light, just like Huanlong, darting around Luofu."
Walter adjusted his glasses and asked the question that had been on his mind.
"They were eventually captured by a few people dressed differently from the Cloud Riders. Is something wrong this time? Do they need our help?"
The ball of light, just like Huanlong, was captured by several people dressed differently from the Cloud Cavalry.
Uh this
Chen Jie chuckled and silently looked to the side.
At this moment, Jing Yuan's face froze. He should have listened to Chen Jie and not slacked off; he should have just gone to Suiyuan to resolve that matter directly. Now, the guest had brought it up again, which was truly embarrassing.
Looking at Jingyuan's expression, March 7th understood almost instantly.
"General, there's no need to be so embarrassed. But if you're unwilling to talk about it, do you know what 'Dust Calamity' is?"
After pondering for a moment, Chen Jie answered.
"Suiyang and Huanlong are the same thing, rare formless beings, energy creatures without a fixed form, somewhat similar to Wuwubo. They are related."
"As for the things that look like Cloud Riders to you, they are people from the Ten Kings' Office, an organization responsible for monitoring the lifespan and laws of the Longevity Seeds, guiding Immortal Ship people who are about to fall into the Demonic Yin Body, and taking in criminals who have committed the Ten Unforgivable Abominations."
"This also includes the search and capture of these fleeing rebels."
This explanation was crystal clear to March 7th, who nodded in sudden understanding: "So it's like a courtroom? We understand that now."
Chen Jie raised an eyebrow, as if recalling something, and suddenly said, "There's an urban legend about the Immortal Ship Luofu: the Ten Kings' Division will look through the Book of Life and Death and guide the souls of Immortal Ship people who are about to fall into demonic possession to the underworld."
"After recounting the good and evil deeds and sins of this life, the judge responsible for receiving people bids farewell to the mortal in the realms of the living and the dead. Even if the mortal and the judge bump into each other, they will not be able to witness it."
March 7:?
