Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Subdue my ass!" Old Man Tail roared at Floating Smoke:

"I'm like a tiger fallen into the plains, running into this little fox. What terrible luck!"

"..."

Yan Huan listened to the two Suiyangs' accounts and began to recount what had happened.

It was roughly a thousand years ago when the Great Year Sun Raised Plains and fought a battle with General Teng Xiao of the Immortal Ship, and then he died.

The prairie fire split into smaller wisps of smoke, which were then confined to the furnace of creation.

But at that time, the tail escaped unscathed.

Recently, the Illusionary Invasion caused the roots of the Jianmu tree to pierce through the Creation Furnace, releasing the Floating Smoke and other creatures of the Year Sun. Most of them are now hiding in the Suiyuan Garden.

Therefore, people outside, like Gui Naifen, all believed that Suiyuan was haunted.

The tail-wearing old man that Fuyan once envied for successfully escaping has now been discovered by Fuyan, who has escaped again, to have become the pet of the Ten Kings.

“I understand, so…”

Yan looked at Fuyan and smiled:

"You want to leave here so that you can gather the other Suiyang, reunite, and then fight General Xianzhou, right?"

"Uh... ah?"

Fu Yan was taken aback:

"Was my intention... really that obvious?"

"Ahem, bro, you must be overthinking it. Let's... talk about Grandpa Tail instead?"

"Aren't you curious why the most combative fragment of Da Sui Yang Liao Yuan is now following this cowardly fox girl?"

"I'm not curious," Yan Huan said firmly.

Fuyan: "..."

Yan Huan: "It was probably one of those beautiful encounters... like... Wolf Exterminator Suiyang, who only knows how to fight, met a simple-minded little girl, and then wanted to protect her for life..."

Before he could finish speaking, his tail roared:

"Get lost...! That's not how it is!!"

Chapter 461 Go keep her company

"……snort."

Huo Huo looked at the tail with a disgusted expression:

"Let me tell you."

She recalled:

"When I was little, I saw a dying flame in a corner of Luofu..."

"I had a moment of weakness and put it on my tail..."

"Wait! Huh?!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan interrupted directly:

"Why do you feel sorry for a ball of fire and put it on your own tail?"

The awkward explanation of "藿藿":

"...It's like finding an injured little animal and wanting to rescue it and put it on your lap."

"But... but I never expected that the tail-wielding old man would try to eat me! Luckily, the judges appeared in time, and I escaped a disaster."

"...Huh?" Old Master Tail looked at Huo Huo with disdain:

"It's just a tiny snack that can't even fill a tooth gap, saying you'd eat it would be an overreaction, wouldn't it?"

Huo Huo ignored the tail and continued to cry to Yan Huan and Fu Yan:

"The tears I've shed over the years when I regretted my decisions must have been the result of the foolishness that got into my brain when I made those decisions..."

Fu Yan listened with great interest and teased:

"That was so much fun, but what a pity... Grandpa Tail didn't get his way."

"Otherwise, with this little girl's body, it might be able to make a comeback and wreak havoc on the immortal ship like wildfire!"

"So," Yan Huan looked at the two suns:

"Are you guys out of your minds? Why do you have to fight General Xianzhou?"

"Now that we have a chance to run away, why don't we hurry up and find a good place to lie down comfortably?"

“Yes.” Huo Huo also looked at Wei Ba and Fu Yan: “What exactly is your reason for seeking a duel between the generals…?”

Fu Yan snorted coldly:

"Reason? Does it necessarily need to be a reason?"

"Hey, if you want a grand-sounding excuse—that the Immortal Ship imprisoned the Ancestor of the Year Sun in a cage to power the Immortal Ship, is that reason enough?"

"We want something simple and straightforward—we just want to test our skills against the generals and see what the Immortal Ship people are really made of!"

Fu Yan said indignantly:

"We, the Suiyang clan, were originally carefree beings, but we were infected with the 'disease of humanity' because we came into contact with humans!"

"It's all humanity's fault, having such intense emotions and desires that we can never return to the pure and innocent state of mind we once had!"

"So, I want to regain my freedom!"

"I want to go back to the heavens!"

Fuyan looked at the tail and said in a deep voice:

"So, Tail-sama, you don't want to reunite with the fragments, nor do you want to be a tail for life. In the end... how about we return to the outer heavens together?"

"Ha!" Old Man Tail scoffed.

"...It sounds better when you talk than when you sing."

Huo Huo quickly tried to dissuade Fu Yan:

"You scoundrel, don't even think about getting any funny ideas. Master Tail is sealed by the judges of the Ten Kings and can't escape... And you, don't even think about sneaking away either."

"Huh? What does it matter to you whether I can leave or not?"

Fu Yan looked at Yan with smug satisfaction:

“I made a promise with my older brother: I’ll help him out, and he’ll take me out in return…”

"Isn't that right, brother?"

"..."

Yan stared at the eyeball beside him and said indifferently:

"So, you guys really know how to talk! Where's Gui Naifen? Where's my dear family?"

"Is this okay?... If not, I'll take it apart myself!"

"Ahem, right away, right away!"

Fu Yan quickly floated forward to lead the way, not daring to be negligent in the slightest:

"It's all that little fox's fault; she started the conversation first!"

Huo Huo: "..."

As the two, aged two, passed through a series of archways, the surrounding fog suddenly grew thicker.

An old, thin figure, leaning on a cane, blocked Yan Huan and Huo Huo's path:

"Young man... do you know how to get to Changletian?"

"Chang Le Tian...?"

Huo Huo looked completely bewildered. Didn't that mean they had to be outside the illusion?

"Grandma, did you also accidentally wander into this place?"

"Yes... I twisted my ankle."

The old woman, her back hunched, lifted her trouser leg, revealing large bruises:

"Little girl, can you carry me on your back...?"

Huo Huo was immediately filled with sympathy for the poor old woman and wanted to go forward to help her up.

But just then, a hand stopped her.

"Wait a minute."

Yan Huan stopped Huo Huo and asked the old woman who had suddenly appeared in front of her:

"We still need to find our friends. You can wait here. After we leave, someone from the Ten Kings Bureau will come to pick you up."

"This……"

The old woman looked troubled.

"No, I'm too old, I..."

puff.

A snow-white blade suddenly emerged from the chest of the eerie old woman.

Before anyone knew it, Yan Huan had gotten behind the old woman and even stabbed her.

"what--!!"

Upon seeing this, Huo Huo screamed and retreated several steps:

"Mr. Yan Huan, what... what are you doing?!"

"...Murder!"
