Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Qingque: "......"

Su Jinyan said calmly, "Tingyun, you don't understand."

"How can one govern the world if one's chest is not flat? I like Fu Taibu's washboard the most."

Tingyun's smile froze as she glanced at her chest.

From any angle, it is far superior to Fu Taibu's washboard.

Su Jinyan said seriously, "I'll tell you my hobby in secret: I like the feeling of nurturing, so the flatter the character, the more I like it."

"Look, take Qingque for example..."

Qingque panicked and pounded her little chest loudly.

"Look, Ah Yan, I'm very voluptuous. You have no chance."

Su Jinyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Qingque, you can fool your buddies, but don't fool yourself too."

Tingyun also looked at her with pity: "Miss Qingque, it's not good to deceive yourself."

Qingque: “?”

Su Jinyan continued, "But you don't need to worry, my target is Lord Fu Xuan, I won't target you."

Qingque breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I don't want our friendship to change."

"In my opinion, people who like to be in love are idiots."

"Dating is such a hassle, isn't dating and dating just a waste of time?"

"With that time, you could play a few more rounds of Imperial Jade Cards."

Su Jinyan wholeheartedly agreed: "That's what I think too."

"So, I simply skipped the dating step."

"There must be many competitors vying for Lord Fu Xuan's affections, so let's take a different approach and become Lord Fu Xuan's lackey."

Qingque's eyes were subtle: "Well, how should I put it, your approach is really unconventional."

Su Jinyan waved his hand: "Tch, what do you know? Fortune changes, you know?"

"Now I'm serving Lord Fu Xuan like a dog, and from now on, Lord Fu Xuan will give me—"

Tingyun couldn't listen any longer and interrupted at the right moment:

"Speaking of which, what brings you and Miss Qingque to Liuyun Ferry?"

Mentioning this bluebird makes him particularly depressed: "It's a long story."

"Mainly because the Grand Diviner saw that we were too idle, he simply assigned us some trivial tasks to guide the star raft back to its voyage."

Tingyun covered her mouth and laughed, "That's quite a coincidence."

"It just so happens that I need to guide a batch of goods for the Minghuo Merchant Guild."

"Why don't we travel together? That way we can look out for each other."

"After we finish our work, how about we go to the card room and play a few rounds of Imperial Jade?"

Qingque nodded eagerly, "Okay, okay~"

Su Jinyan nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay~"

Qingque: "Hey, don't copy me, you're so mean."

Su Jinyan: "Okay, okay~"

……

As soon as Su Jinyan arrived at Liuyun Ferry, a system notification sounded in his mind.

【ding~】

[Look closely, the fox-girl in front of you is called "Tingyun".]

Standing beside her are Xiao Shuai and Xiao Mei; she is about to face a crisis.

"Qingque, wait a moment."

Su Jinyan's expression turned serious, and he quickly pressed down on Qingque's wrist.

"What's wrong?"

Qingque stood in front of the navigation compass, looking at him with puzzlement.

In three minutes, Tingyun will ferry a shipment of goods for the [Minghuo Merchant Guild] at a secluded ferry crossing in Liuyun Ferry.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the starship transporting goods harbored a bountiful monstrous creature—two extremely ferocious Kui Wood Wolves.

They would leap out of the cargo raft the moment the hatch opened, attacking Tingyun with incredible speed.

The incident happened suddenly, catching Tingyun completely off guard.

If you hadn't been there, her fate would have been uncertain.

Wait, how could a cargo raft be hiding such a bountiful abomination?

Considering that the star raft that Tingyun was riding had broken down in the outskirts of Yaoqing, could this not be a coincidence?

Su Jinyan gripped the silver-white cross tightly and said in a deep voice, "Cheer up, Qingque."

"My gut feeling tells me that there might be danger on the cargo raft that's coming soon."

Upon hearing this, Qingque immediately became more vigilant.

Although Qingque's previous divination did not indicate any ominous signs for this trip, she was willing to believe Su Jinyan's words.

Moreover, a diviner's intuition is sometimes one of the main means of judging impending danger.

"Tingyun, Qingque, please hide behind me."

"So that if we encounter danger later, I won't be able to protect you in time," Su Jinyan instructed.

Tingyun nodded gently: "Well then, I'll leave my safety to you, my benefactor."

Qingque couldn't help but shake her head: "Don't joke around, let me do it."

“Ayan, aren’t you a pastor? You should be hiding behind me.”

Su Jinyan smiled and said, "You'll find out soon enough."

Qingque looked slightly helpless, silently rubbing her snow-white hands together, and whispered, "Please, please, please..."

Not long after Su Jinyan turned on the pilot compass, a cargo starship slowly sailed over.

At this moment, Su Jinyan and the others were on high alert.

The moment the hatch opened, a wolf howl was heard, and then a swift figure suddenly darted out. It looked fast, but it was actually quite fast.

This move seemed designed to bypass Su Jinyan and Qingque and directly attack Tingyun.

Chapter Fourteen: Fu Xuan: Who taught you to talk like that, taking huge breaths? (3K)

However, Su Jinyan was prepared and would not let Kui Mulang succeed.

A sharp silver glint flashed and disappeared.

Kui Mulang let out a mournful howl and retreated rapidly, its claws leaving deep scratches on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a giant silver cross that had defused the Kui Mulang's attack and left a very deep wound on its abdomen.

It's bad enough that you torture me in the simulated universe, but you want to torture me in real life too?

Su Jinyan remained calm as he condensed a dark energy in his palm, transforming it into a long whip that lashed fiercely at the Kui Mulang.

Kui Mulang's eyes were filled with panic. He had no time to dodge, and his already injured body suffered another wound.

Generally speaking, the wounds of the Abundant Beasts heal extremely quickly, making them difficult to kill using conventional methods.

However, after being lashed by [Shadow Word: Pain], the shadow energy continued to corrode its body, making it impossible for its injuries to heal.

"ended."

Su Jinyan raised his palm, and shadow energy gathered in his palm.

The sudden burst of shadow energy poured into Kui Mulang's body, causing it to explode.

In an instant, a wave of heat surged, and dark flames spread everywhere. Kui Mulang was blasted to pieces in a flash.

[Shadow Word: Pain (LV1) skill proficiency increased by 10, current proficiency: 10/100.]

[Dark Energy Infusion (LV5) skill proficiency increased by 10, current proficiency: 1110/1320.]

Qingque stared in disbelief: "Ayan, didn't you say you were a pastor?"

Su Jinyan said with a devout expression, "Under the holy light, there must be shadows. Praise be to Aha."

"Little Sparrow, it's normal for a priest like me to know some healing spells, right?"

Although he considers himself a priest who heals the sick and wounded, he has not used a single healing spell or quick heal spell so far.

He used Dark Energy Infusion 111 times and Mental Whip 122 times, all of which were used to treat "patients".
