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

Qi Ye recognized the person in front of him as General Jing Yuan and immediately put away the carefree attitude he had when he was fooling Yan Qing.

He imitated Fu Xuan's usual dignified and serious demeanor and began to speak:

"Yanqing is a promising young man and will surely shoulder great responsibilities in the future."

Why does the general, who is not in office, have the leisure to come here?

If you find official duties too burdensome, you might as well hand over the general's position to me sooner rather than later.

Whether the general retires with honor or I serve the people, I will.

Hello, I'm happy, everyone's happy—a win-win-win situation.

After hearing this earnest declaration of his desire for officialdom, Jing Yuan smiled with a smile that curved his eyes.

He leaned against a pillar, looking somewhat languid, with a hint of mockery:

"What are you saying, Fu Qing? I just heard that you came to greet me personally, so I came here specifically to welcome you."

The Grand Diviner is extremely busy, and it's rare for him to visit the General's Mansion. How could this General possibly neglect him?

"So, Fu Qing, did you come to report something important today, or did you come specifically to see this general?"

Qi Ye mentally gave Jing Yuan, that old fox, a high score.

With just a few words, the question was thrown back at him; he neither agreed to step down nor refused to offer his greetings.

He maintained Fu Xuan's dignified expression and smoothly followed up with the excuse he had already prepared:

"This matter is of great importance and it is not convenient to discuss it in the courtyard."

Let's go somewhere else first.

After speaking, he turned to Yan Qing, trying hard to recall how Fu Xuan usually spoke to Yan Qing:

"Yanqing, I have important matters to discuss with the general."

"Keep practicing your swordsmanship. With your talent and further honing your skills, you will surely achieve great things in the future."

Yanqing gripped the sword hilt and nodded solemnly:

"Thank you for your encouragement, Lord Xie Taibu."

"This junior will certainly practice diligently and live up to the high expectations of the Grand Diviner."

Qi Ye mentally gave Yan Qing a score of 90.

This child is not only good at swordsmanship, but also speaks very well.

It's just too serious.

Jing Yuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised by Fu Xuan's choice of words today.

But he didn't ask any more questions, he just turned around and made a "please" gesture.

Leading Qiye through the corridor, after several twists and turns, they pushed open a wooden door.

This is a small office with several rows of bookshelves against the wall.

In the center was a large mahogany desk, on which were piled several stacks of documents that had not yet been reviewed.

Jingyuan walked behind the desk and sat down, gesturing for Qiye to sit opposite him, then asked curiously:

"Alright, there's no one else here."

"What important matter does Fu Qing have to discuss? You can speak now, won't you?"

Qiye did not answer immediately.

He reached into his pocket, pretending to be taking something out.

It was just for show; the light cone was in his system space and he could take it out at any time.

But as his fingers groped inside his sleeve, he suddenly touched a soft piece of fabric.

He unconsciously pinched it.

The children's version is made of pure cotton and feels nice to the touch.

Oh right, it's Qingque's white chubby underwear with cartoon sparrows printed on it.

I just put it away in the restroom and then casually stuffed it into my sleeve.

Later, he skipped and hopped to the general's mansion, completely forgetting about it.

He maintained a dignified and solemn expression, and pushed the panties further inside.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he casually pulled his hand out of his sleeve.

A light cone card appeared in his palm.

He placed the light cone on the table and pushed it in front of Jing Yuan.

As Jingyuan reached for the light cone, his gaze inadvertently swept over Qiye's pocket.

A small section of white fabric was peeking out, with what appeared to be a cartoon sparrow embroidered on the corner.

He paused for a moment, then looked up at Qi Ye.

Qi Ye sat upright and dignified.

Jingyuan wasn't sure if he had imagined what he had seen.

But he decided not to ask, since it was Fu Qing's prerogative, and asking would only make things awkward.

"This is... a light cone?"

Jingyuan picked up the card, held it between his fingers, and turned it over.

"You came to see me today, Fu Qing, just for this light cone?"

Qiye nodded:

"Exactly. General, don't underestimate this light cone."

If the general knew its effects, he would probably want to... on the spot.

He deliberately stopped there, leaving half of his message unfinished.

Jing Yuan raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing a clear increase in interest compared to before:

"What do you mean, Fu Qing? When did you learn to keep people in suspense?"

Qi Ye leaned forward and lowered his voice.

Speaking in the most serious diviner's tone, but saying the most unserious things:

"General, have you ever considered that one day you might completely rid yourself of the torment of this demonic possession?"

"Are you suggesting... that this cone of light can rid you of the demonic possession?"

Qi Ye smiled slightly, revealing a profound and unfathomable expression:

"As expected of a general, you guessed it right away."

That is why this cone of light can grant the wearer perpetual immunity to the erosion of the demonic body.

Jingyuan leaned back in his chair and stared at Qiye for a long while.

They seemed to be judging whether Fu Xuan was making a particularly outrageous joke.

He had known Fu Xuan for so many years and knew that this Grand Diviner never joked about serious matters.

But the tone of her voice today gave him an inexplicable sense of unease.

"Fu Qing,"

Jing Yuan put down the light cone card in his hand, looking more serious than before.

"Are you sure you're telling the truth? This is no joke."

"I swear by the name of Fu Xuan."

Qi Ye sat up straight, revealing a solemn expression on Fu Xuan's face, and raised three fingers with his right hand.

"If this is false, may I never be able to hold the position of general in my entire life."

Jing Yuan's expression became subtle.

The oath, spoken by Fu Xuan, carried considerable weight.

He picked up the card again, examining it closely, his brow furrowing slightly.

It's not that I don't believe you.

However, the demonic spirit has plagued the Immortal Ship for thousands of years, and countless sages have spent their entire lives searching for a cure.

Now you're telling me a single light cone can solve this, Fu Qing.

If this is true, it would be a huge deal for the entire Luofu and the entire Immortal Boat Alliance.

Can your light cone be mass-produced? Have you had anyone test it? And what is its origin?

Qiye shook his head:

"Good question, General, but to tell you the truth, mass production is impossible."

This cone of light was given to me by the Heavenly Lord Chang Le.

Just as the divination was being performed today, the Heavenly Lord of Eternal Bliss suddenly descended.

He presented this item to me and explained its effects and side effects.

After saying that, he left, coming and going in a hurry.

"Eternal Bliss Heavenly Lord?" Jing Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Exactly."

The general should know that Chang Le Tian Jun is the Pleasure Star God Aha, who acts without any rules and seeks only pleasure in everything.

Elijah Salas recorded that He conducted an extremely absurd experiment:

To play tricks on the wise one, He will revel in all the power of destiny.

He bestowed it all upon a Nobles worm whose mind was not yet fully developed, and appointed it as his messenger.

I just want to try and see if I can use the power of the Star God to send this bug into the Genius Club.

After the experiment failed, He withdrew His power and let the insects die.

In addition, He also infiltrated the Star Train under an assumed name and remained hidden for a whole year.

Finally, half a train and a planet were blown up.

He has always enjoyed acting spontaneously.

It's not impossible that he would appear at the Temple of Divination without warning, giving gifts on a whim.

After hearing these words, Jing Yuan remained silent for a while.

These are all official historical records in black and white.

Given that star god's consistent style of doing things, it is by no means a fantasy to make such a casual move.

Moreover, given Fu Xuan's personality, he would never speak carelessly.

He sighed, with a hint of self-mockery:

"The gift from the Heavenly Lord of Eternal Bliss is indeed in line with His style."

However, since it is a gift from the Star God, the value of this light cone is indeed immeasurable.

"I was just thinking about mass production, but that was wishful thinking."

He placed the light cone back on the table, looked up at Qi Ye, and his eyes held a hint of confusion:

"However, since Lord Chang Le Tian Jun has given this item to Fu Qing, why doesn't Fu Qing use it?"

Why did you bring it to me?

Although Fu Qing is still young, as the head of the Grand Diviner, he will be useful in the future.

"That's a good question, General."

A calm smile appeared on Qi Ye's face.

"I am only a little over two hundred years old this year, and I am still far from being a demonic being."

I am confident in my abilities; however long you live, I will live just as long, and I will never fall behind you.

Therefore, this light cone is not of urgent use to me.

But you're different.

He then changed the subject.

"Now, when will you offend the demonic spirit?"

Jing Yuan remained silent.

He leaned back in his chair, his usually languid eyes now calm and focused.

Looking at the diviner in front of him, whom he had known for many years.

After a long silence, he finally smiled, a smile tinged with a mix of emotion and something else entirely.

"Fu Qing, your mouth is something else. It's one thing to urge this general to abdicate, but today you've even brought up the demonic body."

Alright, I believe in the effectiveness of the light cone.

but……"

He then changed the subject.

"Lord Changle never lets anyone completely benefit from his actions. What are the side effects of this light cone?"

"The side effects are simple."

Qi Ye raised a finger, and the expression on his face suddenly became even brighter than when he was promoting the light cone.

"After wearing it, your appearance will undergo some minor changes."

Specifically, she will gradually transform into a beautiful young woman.

Around the age of seventeen, hair and eye color remain unchanged and are irreversible.

General, you already had white hair, and after the transformation you'll be a beautiful white-haired girl—a rare find.

Jing Yuan's smile froze.

He looked down at the light cone card on the table, then looked up at Fu Xuan, who looked completely calm.

His lips twitched several times before he managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"...Eternal Lord Chang Le is indeed still the same Eternal Lord Chang Le."
