Ironclad, died and resurrected, I've decided to go to the mic!

Kafka stood behind Jing Yuan, her wrist encased in the sealing lock.

His expression remained that calm and composed smile.

"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry. But this gentleman, the Imperial Concubine..."

You just said that most of the light cones on the Star Train were collected by yourself?

"Then where did your light cone come from? I'm very interested in you now."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in Star Core Hunters."

Qi Ye immediately waved his hand.

Kafka chuckled softly and didn't press the matter further.

She turned back to Jing Yuan and raised her hands, which were locked in place:

"My Lord, may we leave now?"

You can satisfy your curiosity another time. The Qiong Guan Zhen (穷观阵) is still waiting for us.

Jing Yuan glanced at her, then turned to look at the train crew, and finally nodded to them:

"Then we shall part ways. If you need anything on the Luofu Immortal Ship, you may always come to the Grand Diviner's Office to find me."

"I'll come find you after Qiong Guanzhen's interrogation is over."

As she said this, she looked at Qiye, and her smile widened.

"Especially Mr. Suya, I'd like to have a good talk with you then."

"I'm ready to serve you anytime."

Qi Ye still wore that professional smile.

He was already planning in his mind that once he got back, he would quickly coordinate with March 7th to get a unified story about the source of the light cone.

At the very least, Jingyuan must not know that he was the one who sold the light cone that turned her into a beautiful girl.

Xing took a step forward, hands on his hips, still sporting that emperor-like posture:

"Miss Yuanjing, my suggestion still stands."

"Go back and think it over carefully. When your term is over, the gates of my harem will always be open for you."

Jing Yuan had already turned and was walking towards the exit of Huixing Port when he heard these words and paused for a moment.

She didn't turn around, she just raised her hand and waved.

Kafka followed behind her, glancing back at Xing before turning around, her lips twitching.

She didn't speak, but her expression roughly translated to...

What exactly did you go through while I was away?

The two figures disappeared around the corner of the Star Harbor exit.

March 7th let out a long breath, then leaned against the container while holding Diting:

"It's finally over, although I feel like they're all eyeing you."

Miss Jingyuan said she wants to have a good chat with you next time, and Kafka also said she's interested in you!

"Have you done something wrong again?"

Qiye raised her hands in a gesture of surrender:

"I didn't do anything."

I was just summoned by Xing to take a bullet for him, and by the way, I shouted "protect the king" and dragged Kafka in too.

What kind of guilty thing is this?

Besides, Miss Yuanjing's interest in light cones is a requirement of her profession.

"She's an advisor to the Taipusi (a high-ranking official in the cosmology department), isn't it normal for her to study light cones?"

Are you sure she just wants to study light cones?

The way she looks at you makes me feel like she's looking at a criminal suspect.

On March 7th, he squinted his eyes.

"That's because I'm handsome." Qi Ye straightened his collar.

Xing added earnestly from the side:

"My imperial concubine is certainly handsome. However, I also feel that Miss Yuanjing's gaze towards you is a bit off."

It looks like they're going to arrest you and interrogate you.

She tilted her head and cautiously drew a conclusion.

"But it doesn't matter. You are my imperial concubine. If the Imperial Apostles want to interrogate you, they must first submit a letter of authorization to me."

"Your Galactic Empire doesn't even have territory, so who would present you with credentials?"

March 7th ruthlessly exposed the truth.

"The territory resides in my heart."

Xing was perfectly justified.

Tingyun watched Jingyuan and Kafka's figures disappear at the exit of Huixing Port.

Only then did he turn his gaze away, bend down, and pick up Di Ting from the ground.

"My benefactors, now that the Star Core Hunter has been captured, it is time for the affairs of the Taibu Si to take over."

"I still have some official business to attend to at the Imperial Shipyard, so I won't keep you all any longer."

She bowed slightly.

"If there is any further need for the cooperation of the Tianbo Bureau, please feel free to contact me."

March 7th waved: "Miss Tingyun, you've worked hard! See you later!"

Tingyun smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the central hub of the Star Chariot Sea while holding Diting in her arms.

On March 7th, after watching Tingyun walk away, he turned around, put his hands on his hips, and let out a long breath:

"Alright, the Star Core Hunter has been captured, Taibus has taken over, and Miss Tingyun has left!"

What do we do next?

She turned to look at Walter, her eyes shining with anticipation.

After a moment of contemplation, Walter spoke:

"Interrogating Kafka will take some time as the Tabushi prepares to thoroughly observe the formation."

You can take advantage of this time to go and have a look around.

There are many things worth seeing on Luofu Fairy Boat; consider it a good time for rest and recuperation.

Before he could finish speaking, March 7th had already jumped up on the spot, raising his fists above his head:

"Yay! Finally, we can move around freely!"

She grabbed Xing's left hand and Qiye's right hand, excitedly announcing.

Let's go shopping!

I was craving food the whole way past that food street, and now I can finally have a proper meal!

Xing was being pulled forward by her, his face still bearing the composed air of an emperor:

"The Empress is right."

Since my ascension to the throne, I have not yet officially toured my own territory. Today, I will begin with Star Harbor.

"My beloved concubine, what would you like to eat? I'll have the Empress go and line up."

"I want everything. But I'll pay on March 7th," Qiye replied matter-of-factly.

Without turning his head, March 7th retorted:

"Why should I pay! Didn't you just make tens of millions selling the Light Cone? You should be treating us!"

Just as Qiye was about to retort, Walter's voice came from behind.

He stood there, watching the three figures bickering and fighting.

He shook his head helplessly, but a smile appeared on his lips:

"It's great to be young. Remember to keep your phone accessible; I'll message you later."

He watched the three figures disappear around the corner of Star Harbor.

Then he turned and walked in another direction, thinking to himself:

I wonder if there will be large robots in Luofu?

Meanwhile, on the other side of Star Harbor.

Tingyun carried Diting through two alleys and stopped in a corner without surveillance cameras.

She placed Diting on the ground, and the mechanical dog tilted its head back and wagged its tail at her, seemingly waiting for new commands.

She crouched down and patted Di Ting's head:

"You can go back now; we don't need you for the rest of the journey."

Upon hearing the command, Di Ting ran towards the central hub of the Star Chariot Sea.

Tingyun straightened up and watched Diting's figure disappear at the end of the alley.

The smile on his face remained as gentle and harmless as ever.

But a hint of amusedness lingered in his eyes.

The white-haired girl named Yuan Jing, although a civil advisor in the Taibu Si, did not behave like an ordinary person.

More importantly, she has white hair, her surname is Yuan Jing, and her given name reversed is Jing Yuan.

The train crew had just joked that she was "General Jingyuan's illegitimate daughter."

She neither admitted nor denied it, but simply used the vague wording of a seasoned official to steer the conversation away from the topic.

That's interesting in itself.

An unacknowledged illegitimate daughter was placed in the Bureau of Apostles as an insignificant civil advisor.

Such things are not uncommon in the officialdom of Xianzhou.

The way those powerful families deal with their bloodlines is always to save face while also providing a place for them to go.

The place like the Imperial Apostles' Office is just right; it's neither an obscure government office nor too conspicuous.

It would be perfect to place the daughter of a general in an awkward position.

Moreover, she had just seen the back view of Yuan Jing protecting Kafka as they left.

She felt that his temperament was very similar to the Jingyuan she remembered.

Thinking of this, the smile on her lips deepened.

A daughter who was never mentioned to outsiders but was secretly placed in the office of the Tabushi.

This kind of unspoken care is more intriguing than affection that is publicly proclaimed.

Of course, these are all just her guesses.

Before taking action, she needed to confirm whether Yuan Jing was truly an illegitimate daughter.

Or was it just a joke made casually by the train crew?

If it's the former, then Jingyuan has a weakness.

If it's the latter, then it's not a loss either.

At least she could observe more closely during the tracking process to find out who this white-haired girl who looked familiar was.

She resumed her usual gentle and harmless smile.

Then he took a step and quietly followed in the direction Jing Yuan had left.
