Fu Xuan was sleeping soundly, holding her Sword Saint husband in her arms. Yu Chen was also sleeping peacefully, his nose pressed against her head, inhaling her scent.

The tranquil atmosphere was exceptionally beautiful.

A strange wave rippled from afar, and Yu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a chill flashing in them.

He frowned slightly and turned to look out the window.

The girl in his arms stirred, frowning and opening her eyes, waking up.

She climbed up to Yu Chen, leaned over him, and turned to look at the window. Behind the gently swaying curtains was complete darkness.

The dharma eye between his eyebrows was burning hot and throbbing slightly.

“Something happened…”

A large hand suddenly landed on her head, and a calm, steady voice came from behind.

"fine."

Yu Chen gently rubbed her head, looking at her calmly.

Fu Xuan looked up at him, noticing the faint smile on his lips, and found that this silly guy was surprisingly reassuring and reliable at this moment.

...

Of course, nothing could really be wrong. Intelligence from the front lines was rapidly transmitted, and even in the dead of night, all the agencies in Luofu quickly responded and began to operate.

At the General's Mansion, Jing Yuan frowned, patted Bai Lu's head, and got up to leave her room.

The subordinate, who was rushing to his room, stared blankly at the general who suddenly walked out of the room next to him.

If he remembered correctly, Miss Bailu was living in this room now, right?

However, he didn't have time to gossip about such things now. He suppressed his curiosity and quickly stepped forward to hand over the urgent report in his hand.

"General, urgent report from the front: a star core has suddenly erupted on Luofu, and rift erosion has begun in the Star Chariot Sea area. The Cloud Cavalry stationed in Star Chariot Sea has arrived and so far things are going smoothly, but the impact of the rift is continuing to expand, and the long-term losses will be incalculable..."

Jing Yuan took the urgent report with a furrowed brow. He didn't open it immediately but looked at the Cloud Rider and asked, "Has the Star Core been found?"

"not yet…"

The Yunqi Army soldier lowered his head and said in a trembling voice.

Jing Yuan's brows furrowed even deeper. He opened the scroll in his hand, glanced at it, and his expression softened slightly.

"What was the reaction of the Imperial Shipyard?"

"The Sky Master is furious. They are thoroughly investigating the location of the Star Core and how it bypassed everyone's notice to enter Luofu."

The Earth Balance Bureau and the Grand Divination Bureau also began operations. The Grand Diviner was already exhaustively observing the array to deduce the traces of the star core, but…

It's too unusual; progress doesn't seem to be going very smoothly.

Jing Yuan gently shook his head. "After all, it was the work of the Ancestor of Annihilation. It's normal that she couldn't see through it..."

He sighed again, turned slightly to glance at the room behind him, and his gaze suddenly fell on the old butler who had gotten up and was standing beside him at some point.

"Song Li, after she wakes up, don't let her leave the General's Mansion to come find me. If the people from the Pill Refining Division come, send them away first. I will come back to see her after I finish my business. Tell her not to be anxious!"

"Yes, General."

Matsuri bowed respectfully in response.

Jing Yuan sighed. He had let the girl stay with him to make her more comfortable, but he never expected that he would now have to learn from those old guys of the Ming Clan and lock her up...

Sigh, I need to hurry back and comfort this little girl...

"Let's go to Shence Mansion."

Jing Yuan calmly called out and led the Cloud Cavalry swiftly toward the Shence Mansion.

Under the cover of night, dark clouds loomed overhead, obscuring the sun and moon.

His gaze was hidden in the shadows, a faint golden light flickering in his majestic, bright yellow eyes, with an astonishing chill and anger rising and falling between them.

On Luofu, which he governs, the claws of destruction dare to reach out. Isn't this a bit disrespectful to him, the Shence General?

Moreover, it's best not to disturb the little one's sweet dreams while she's sleeping soundly. If she's unhappy tomorrow, the blame will fall on them!

...

The Grand Diviner thoroughly examined the battle formation.

Fu Xuan's face was tense as he tried his best to operate the great array, trying to deduce the whereabouts of the star core, but he still couldn't detect anything.

Her breathing gradually became heavier, and her thin body began to sway slightly.

Yu Chen sighed, glanced at the still dark sky, looked at her current state, squinted, walked forward and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Alright, Jingyuan messaged me, saying you don't need to push yourself, take a rest..."

Fu Xuan frowned and shifted his body slightly, his expression serious.

"No, go back, I still need..."

Before she could finish speaking, her body suddenly felt light, and she was lifted up.

Fu Xuan's eyes sharpened as he glared at Yu Chen. "This is a matter of utmost importance concerning the safety of the Immortal Ship!"

Yu Chen gazed at her intently, his eyes unwavering. "I know. So, can you find it? That star core?"

"Of course I can!"

Fu Xuan gritted his teeth and shouted.

Yu Chen remained calm as he carried her down the steps.

"No, you can't. Destroying something you created yourself is too complicated. It involves the Star God, and someone else must have covered up its existence. You can't see its destiny trajectory."

"I can...!"

She struggled again, but this time her strength and the sound were much softer.

Her little face remained stern, her stubborn expression showing her strong resentment.

Yu Chen looked at her, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He lowered his head and gently nuzzled Fu Xuan's cheek, saying softly, "If you want to, I won't stop you from looking at it later, but can you rest for a while now? You've been staring at that damn thing for so long, you can barely stand up..."

The energy required to deduce such a thing is naturally enormous. This little Fu Xuan, who was in control of the Qiong Guan Formation, had his threshold maxed out, and his face was much paler than before.

In short, no matter what, he could not let her continue like this.

Moreover, the existence of star cores has been deliberately concealed by those with ulterior motives, and cannot be determined by divination at all.

Fu Xuan lowered his head, his expression somewhat gloomy.

"I have a responsibility..."

Yu Chen snorted lightly, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What responsibility do you have? We gave them the warning long ago. The biggest responsibility for how the star core flowed into Luofu and caused the explosion lies with the Tianbo Bureau. They control the Jade Realm Gate, yet they allowed something like this to infiltrate..."

"We haven't even caused them any trouble yet, why are you rushing to take all this blame on yourself?"

"I…"

Fu Xuan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

She silently buried her face in Yu Chen's neck and fell silent.

Yu Chen sighed, gently stroked her head and said softly, "Go back and catch up on your sleep. There's nothing we can do now anyway... They should be able to get everything done by tomorrow. Taibu Si just needs to stay put."

Fu Xuan suddenly raised his head, looked at him, and said, "I still have to go and take charge..."

Her pink lips were gently pressed, and Yu Chen looked at her tenderly, saying softly, "You're tired, you need to rest."

It was still that calm yet utterly unyielding tone.

She wanted to say something more, but Yu Chen glanced at Xing Xuan, who had been quietly following behind without saying a word.

"Xingxuan, can you take charge of things over there for now? Right now, things are probably in a lot of chaos elsewhere, and there's not much the Taibu Si can do anyway. Just keeping things stable is good enough."

"I will. Please take a good rest, Your Excellency."

Xingxuan bowed slightly, then glanced at Yuchen and said casually, "Lord Taibu, please rest well. Activating the Qiongguan Formation at full power is extremely taxing on your mind. Now that the Immortal Ship is in turmoil, you should take good care of your health."

"Xingxuan, you...!"

Fu Xuan's eyes widened in surprise. He grabbed Yu Chen's shoulder and glared at her, but felt inexplicably uneasy and dared not look at the person who was holding him tightly.

She felt it; his hand had visibly trembled just now, and he had hugged her even tighter.

Xingxuan chuckled softly, then concealed her merits and fame, and hurriedly went to the Taibu Si's workplace to take control of the situation.

Chapter 153 Response

On the bed, Fu Xuan lay quietly in the quilt. Although he looked very tired, his bright eyes were wide open and staring intently at Yu Chen.

He smiled helplessly, bent down and pulled the blanket tighter around her, then lowered his head and gently kissed her soft little lips.

"Go to sleep, there's a ton of trouble waiting for you tomorrow..."

"Then why don't you let me go over now!"

After the kiss, Fu Xuan's expression softened a little, but you could tell from her face that she was still a little upset.

"There's no point in you going there now; the most important thing is to get yourself back to health first!"

As Yu Chen spoke, a suppressed worry and concern quietly surfaced in his eyes. He pursed his lips, gently touched Fu Xuan's face, and softly asked, "Was it very taxing? Has it had a significant impact on your health? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
