Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"You...you fools, how could you smear poison on the Earth Beast?"

"???" Yan Huan's eyes widened when she saw that someone had actually fallen for it.

"Wait, what are you doing in my house?!"

"What do you mean 'your home'?" Xia said with a gloomy face. "This is the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace. How can it be considered private property?"

"But you... you actually allowed these assassins to apply poison right under your nose, it's utterly absurd."

"It would be even more absurd if you fell for it!" Yan Huan stepped forward, pointed at Gou Shun's obese body, and cursed at Na Ke Xia:

"Why the hell are you licking my dog? Are you going to eat it? Huh?!"

“That’s right.” Seeing that Xia was picking a fight, the servants who also acted as assassins immediately became unhappy and rebuked him angrily:

"The edible earth beasts are right here on the ranch, yet you insist on coming here to steal them. What, are you going to eat them raw so they're fresh?"

"Tch, he's obviously a weirdo," another maid remarked, equally annoyed.

"Is even three-quarters cooked not enough to satisfy these rich people now?"

“Wait, he seems to be a Golden Descendant.” A servant recognized Xia’s identity.

"He must be that [the Earth Beast in gorgeous clothes], if I remember correctly, the last survivor of the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden."

"Now that they've joined Katniss's faction, strictly speaking, they're our superiors?"

"..." Yan Huan was speechless.

What a nasty blow my teammate was!

"Alright, just remember to wash it off after you're done applying it, so that no one will be so crazy as to lick it again..."

"Sigh," sighed the female attendant at the front, "there are all sorts of people these days."

Xia clutched her chest, her face grim. "Tsk, what are you all standing there for? Where's the antidote?!"

“There is no antidote.” The maid with twin ponytails, dressed in a maid outfit, shrugged. “This was originally a secret medicine that the elders intended to use to poison Lord Yan Huan. It was definitely enough to at least kill a Golden Descendant.”

"But it's not so bad, at least we did manage to take one away."

Several servants turned to look at Xia Ke, scrutinizing her.

"Is this the guy who proposed returning to the [Golden Age]? To betray the Golden Blood like this... What a waste of his golden blood."

"Hmph, Lady Agrea works tirelessly day and night for the peace of the Holy City, yet she still has to be slandered by such people."

"If I had a choice, I would really like to stand on Lady Aglaia's side..."

"Ugh."

Amidst the sighs of the servants, they reluctantly led the earth beast toward the bath, intending to give Gou Shun a bath...

At the same time, Xia Die, having changed her clothes, came out of the bathhouse and asked:

"What are you doing, sir?"

"It's nothing, some beast just licked my dog's lip, but he got his comeuppance." Yan Huan looked at Xia Die.

"Are you done yet? If you are, let's go."

"Alright," Xia Die nodded.

……

Under the bright sunshine, the group arrived at the gates of Ohma.

"Oh, you've come all this way!"

Sai Fei'er had been waiting for a long time.

"The sun is shining brightly; it's truly the perfect time to say goodbye!"

"However, I suddenly realize there's a bit of trouble." She looked at Xia Die and pondered:

"I want to travel with you, but I can't actually meet you yet."

"Don't worry," Xia Die said with a faint smile.

"Your Excellency Yan Huan can touch me; you can move with her."

"Then... he can hold me."

In the end, Yan Huan grabbed Xia Die by the legs and lifted her up like a piece of cargo.

Xiadie: “…”

Yan Huan looked at Sai Feier, "Is everything alright now?"

“Of course.” Saifeier nodded in satisfaction.

"It's unbelievable that the [curse] actually had no effect on you."

"However, do you two know?"

"According to the myth, in order to help the dead cross the River Styx and go to the underworld, an Oubros... which is a small silver coin, must be placed in their mouth or on their eyes."

"This is the ferry fee to the underworld, but this time I won't actually ask you for it. I'll pay for it in advance, and we'll just go through the motions."

She looked at the two of them and smiled:

Okay~

"The swift journey to the underworld is about to begin!"

"Ready, set, go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sai Feier swiftly hoisted Yan Huan onto her shoulder and then exerted force with her legs.

'Whoosh—'

"?" Feeling the strong wind around her, Yan Huan felt the scenery around her rushing past.

He watched the city gate recede into the distance, passing by the Black Tide monster, by Lai Gu Shi, by the slain Wan Di, by the Fire Thief, by the masked man, by Patrick Star…

In the end, Sai Fei'er abandoned the two at a gloomy and terrifying dock.

"Okay~ Goodbye!"

Then, her figure quickly disappeared.

"..."

Looking at the eerie atmosphere around her, Yan Huan first planted the boundary anchor.

Did I just see something strange?

"Perhaps it's just my imagination, Your Excellency." Xia Die gazed in the direction Sai Fei'er had left and sighed softly.

“Saifei’er is a demigod of [Trickery]. When she tosses the [Flying Coin] high into the air, she gains unparalleled speed, appearing and disappearing in an instant.”

"Like now, she doesn't seem to have any intention of staying a second longer..."

"We can only rely on ourselves for the road ahead."

“…You can rely on others!” Mimi popped out, looking at the two of them excitedly.

"Who are you?" Yan Huan looked up at the pink figure.

If Onpharos is the stage for the Golden Clan, then Mimi must also be a Golden Clan member...

Perhaps it's Titan.

Xia Die looked around at her surroundings; the River Styx was flowing nearby.

"This is Stikosia, the city-state of dragons and waves... According to the teacher's guess, the missing Cenatos is hiding in these ruins."

"This... is its birthplace, or its final resting place."

Yan Huan looked at the distant city-state; under the eerie moonlight, the ancient ruins appeared even more sinister and terrifying.

I have to say, this place is perfect for filming zombie movies...

Xia Die continued speaking:

"This is the River Styx that the teacher once glimpsed flowing..."

"Although Senatos has been almost completely forgotten for the past thousand years and has never been found by believers."

“I have a feeling… it should be here.”

Chapter 1374 Then Give Me Fish

"The only clues we have right now are the name of this city-state and the legend of the dragon..."

Xia Die took out the rhombus-shaped ruby, gazed at its faint light, and sighed:

"A teacher's wisdom can only illuminate the small patch of land beneath our feet. Once we take the first step, the road ahead is shrouded in unknown fog..."

"But this isn't the first time in my long journey."

"Your Excellency, instead of hesitating, let's set off first."

"Perhaps today, fate will show mercy and spare a little kindness."

Connecting the docks to the ruins of the city is a well-preserved wooden bridge.

Yan Huan slowly crossed the bridge, causing ripples to spread across the strangely colored river below.

"Turn back...turn back..."

The girl's ethereal voice came from afar.

"Ahead lies the territory of the dead..."

"?"

"Who is speaking?"

Yan Huan looked ahead and saw only a single purple butterfly flitting about.

Mimi said excitedly:

"What a beautiful butterfly! Is it talking to us?"
