Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.

Tingyun was covering her mouth with the back of her hand, clearly trying to suppress her laughter, but she couldn't completely suppress it.

March 7th blinked: "Miss Tingyun, what are you laughing at?"

Tingyun lowered her hand, and the smile on her face returned to its original form.

"Ah, I was just thinking of something amusing."

Even after she finished speaking, the smile on her face remained flawless.

Qi Ye glanced at her, feeling that she was plotting something.

But he didn't press the matter, since it's normal to occasionally think of something funny.

Although the timing of her laughter was exactly right after he finished speaking.

The moment when I thought, "Miss Yuanjing might be General Jingyuan's illegitimate daughter."

Walter spoke up at this moment:

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Miss Yuanjing herself is not at liberty to say more about her background, we need not press her further."

The abbot must have had his reasons for sending her to assist in the investigation.

Let's focus on the task at hand for now.

Jing Yuan mentally gave Walter a thumbs up; there were still normal people in this train crew after all.

March 7th nodded, putting away his gossipy nature:

"Uncle Yang is right, finding Kafka is the priority."

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the top of the container stack.

Several figures leaped out simultaneously from three different directions.

He was dressed in the standard armor of the Cloud Cavalry and held a long spear in his hand.

The leader's target was very clear; he charged straight at Xing, the tip of his gun aimed at her shoulder.

Xing was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting to become the target of the attack.

She instinctively tried to dodge to the side, but her movements were a beat too slow.

The next moment, her mouth opened even faster than her body, uttering the words:

"Guards, protect the emperor!"

A flash of white light.

The next second, Qiye was already standing in the original location of Xing.

He was completely bewildered as he faced the spear that was thrusting towards him.

He glanced at the tip of the gun that was thrusting towards his chest, and only one thought remained in his mind:

Holy crap, she actually used it!

He didn't have time to think; his body reacted before his brain did.

They shouted the same sentence almost at the same moment:

"Guards, protect the emperor!"

Another flash of white light appeared.

A figure dressed in purple appeared out of thin air in front of Qi Ye, blocking the spear tip between Qi Ye and himself.

Kafka was originally watching the show from atop a container in the distance.

He simply blinked and found himself standing in front of Qiye.

The spear that was originally aimed at Qiye was now thrusting towards her shoulder.

She dodged to the side almost the instant the gun tip touched her coat, while simultaneously raising her hand and waving it away.

The spear, along with the Cloud Cavalry soldier wielding it, was forced back several steps.

The spear spun out and slammed into the shipping container with a loud thud.

The gun-wielding Yunqi soldier stumbled and bumped into his comrade behind him, and the two fell into a heap.

Kafka remained standing there, still waving, her composed smile lingering on her face.

But his eyes were filled with disbelief.

She opened her mouth, about to say something... when the white light flashed again.

She vanished from her spot and returned to the top of the shipping container where she had been crouching.

Without even changing her posture, she looked down at her empty hands in confusion.

For the first time, I experienced unfamiliar emotions during the mission.

At the same time, Qiye had returned to her original position.

He looked down at his unharmed chest, then raised his hand to touch his face.

After confirming that all the parts were there, I breathed a long sigh of relief.

This guardian light cone is really useful, but every time I'm summoned, it feels like I'm being whipped by fate like a spinning top.

Walter was the fastest to react of all.

The instant the Cloud Cavalry was repelled by Kafka, he had already raised his right hand.

A gravitational field appeared, pressing the three Cloud Cavalry soldiers to the ground simultaneously.

The three people lay motionless on the ground, their eyes still vacant and unfocused, as if they had been manipulated.

But at least there is no longer any threat.

Jing Yuan stepped forward and glanced at the three Yunqi soldiers who were struggling to breathe under the weight of gravity.

Turning to Walter, he solemnly said:

"Thank you, Mr. Yang, for showing mercy and sparing their lives."

These cloud cavalrymen were likely controlled by some kind of incantation; they themselves harbored no ill intentions.

Walter adjusted his glasses and replied:

"I act with restraint."

Was that Kaffa herself?

March 7th pointed at Qiye and said incredulously:

"Did you just summon Kafka?"

Qi Ye raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, her smile as innocent as could be:

"Luck, it's purely luck."

I didn't know I would summon her. This light cone summons randomly, whatever is nearby.

Didn't Xing summon you over on March 7th last time?

That was luck, only that luck was rather unusual that time.

When he mentioned the incident on March 7th, the expression on his face quickly switched from gossip to anger and embarrassment:

"You're not allowed to mention last time!"

The blush on March 7th's face hadn't completely faded yet, and she was just about to say a few more words about Qiye.

Suddenly, she felt an arm reach out from behind and firmly put its arm around her shoulder.

She paused for a moment, then turned her head and saw Xing standing between her and Qiye.

He hooked his left arm around her shoulder and his right arm around Qiye's shoulder, pulling them both into his embrace.

She wore an emperor-like satisfied smile.

"Empress and Consort, please stop arguing."

I know you all love me deeply, but there should be a limit to jealousy and rivalry.

As the heads of my harem, you should live in harmony and work together to assist me in governing this galactic baseball empire.

Come, you are all my wings. The Empress is on my left, and the Imperial Concubine is on my right.

"I am the happiest emperor in the world."

March 7th was still in the position of being held by Xing, but her mind was already racing.

"I am not your queen! Who are your wings! When did you get two wings!"

Why are you in emperor mode again?!

"I truly believe that you are all my wings."

Xing answered seriously, tightening her left arm and pulling March 7 closer to herself.

"Your Majesty, don't be shy. You came to visit last night when I was choosing a concubine."

This shows that you still have me in your heart.

"What visiting? Yesterday, I... I didn't want to at all..."

March 7th suddenly realized there were two strangers beside him.

She immediately shut her mouth, but her ears had already turned red.

She felt that Hoshino and Suki had completely disgraced her for the rest of her life.
