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

……

Fu Xuan stood in the shadows across the street, looking at the seaside building not far away.

She found this place through the authority of the Tabuan.

Now she wants to take that step, but she can't move her feet.

What should I say when I see him? Should I ask him where he's been all these years?

Ask him why he didn't come back? Ask him if he even remembers him?

If he really forgot, why was that picture frame picked up by someone?

She remembers clearly that the photo frame was facing outwards before she left home today.

When it came back, it had been turned over and placed on the coffee table.

The older brother must have seen that photo.

But now that he's remembered, why doesn't he come looking for her?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she shook her head and gave herself the answer.

He had just switched back to his body and was perhaps being cared for by his comrades as if he were a wounded soldier who had just woken up from a coma.

Besides, she herself has been standing here for quite a while, yet she hasn't taken that step.

Time is a strange thing.

She grew from a little girl with a missing front tooth into the Grand Diviner of the Imperial Apostles.

The Luo Fu Immortal Ship is a being second only to one person and above ten thousand others.

Her divination skills were unparalleled, and even General Jingyuan had to show her some respect.

But you can stand across the street and look at that inn.

She felt as if she had turned back into the little girl who used to hold the wooden sword.

What exactly does her older brother mean to her?

Friend? Too light.

Relatives? They are not related by blood.

A benefactor? He did indeed save her life.

But what she remembers more clearly are those afternoons under the ginkgo tree when he taught her to fold origami cranes.

It was his unrestrained laughter as she chased him all over the yard.

It was when he lifted her over his head and put her on his shoulders that he said, "Our little Xuanzi will definitely become a Grand Diviner in the future."

Those memories, buried deep in my heart for two hundred years, have not faded.

Instead, it becomes brighter from repeated rubbing, but it also makes things more uncertain.

What kind of emotion do they belong to?

Just as she took a deep breath and was finally ready to take that step, the communication device suddenly vibrated.

She glanced down and saw it was Jing Yuan.

She raised her hand to answer the call, and Jing Yuan's voice came from Yu Zhao's end, sounding somewhat urgent and strange:

"Fu Qing, where are you now?"

Come to Shence Mansion immediately.

There's been a slight issue, and I need to discuss it with you in person.

Fu Xuan tightened his grip on the jade slip.

Jingyuan usually speaks in a lazy manner.

His tone was always calm and unhurried, even when discussing the Star Core Hunters' infiltration of Luofu last time.

He only became a little more serious in his tone.

The tone now suggests that something truly unexpected has happened.

She put the jade tablet back in her pocket and glanced once more at the window across the street that was emitting warm light.

Then turned and left.

It sounds like things are really urgent with Jingyuan. Anyway, my older brother isn't going to run away, we'll see each other next time.

She quickened her pace and headed towards the Shence Mansion.

At this moment, Jixiye was looking at the pale blue screen.

Goodness, new stock has arrived again.

[System notification: The system has detected that the host is currently at a critical juncture where multiple forces converge, and there are a large number of potential threats and potential customers in the surrounding area.]

The thoughtful little system automatically matched a defensive light cone, wishing the host a safe and smooth journey on the immortal ship, and much success in selling and earning.

[Light Cone Name: "Guards, protect the Emperor!"]

Rarity: ★★★★

[Ability: Once activated, the host shouts "Protect the Emperor!"]

It will randomly summon an entity from a person or object near the current scene.

It stands in front of the host to block one attack or damage.

After blocking the damage, the summoned unit will be automatically teleported back to its original position.

The cooldown time varies depending on the summoned target.

[Side effect: After each use, the host will briefly consider himself a real emperor.]

Specifically, he walks with an imposing gait and speaks with the title "I, the Emperor."

It will automatically determine whether the host is a wise ruler or a foolish ruler based on their current state of mind and behavior.

Both assessments can directly alter the host's short-term personality behavior.

Uncontrollable and unstoppable until the light cone is removed.

Qi Ye stared at the screen for a long time.

Then he turned to look at Xing, who was flipping through a Luofu tourist brochure next to him.

That booklet was left behind by Tingyun; the cover was printed with "Luofu Fairy Boat Sightseeing Guide".

Xingzheng turned to the section on local specialties, his brow furrowing as if he were assessing which specialties were worth carrying all the way back to the train from Xingchahai.

He flashed a standard business smile and waved the light cone card in front of Xing:

"Xing, I have something good here, do you want it?"

This cone of light is called "Guards, protect the Emperor!"

The effect is that if you shout "Protect me!" during battle, it will automatically summon nearby people to help you block attacks.

The only side effect is that you feel like an emperor after using it, but it will pass in a few minutes.

You are now on the path of survival; in battle, stand at the front and absorb damage.

With this light cone, you can summon someone to help you share the damage at any time; it's practically your personal artifact.

The Emperor Experience Card is also quite fun; you can try issuing an imperial edict on the seventh day of the third month.

Xing put down the travel brochure, tilted her head to look at the card, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes:

"An emperor trial card? Does that mean I can give you orders after I use it?"

"Yes, yes, you can give any orders you want! Whether you succeed or not depends on yourself."

Xing's eyes lit up.

Her gaze swept back and forth between the light cone card and Qi Ye's face twice:

"...Are you sure you can summon someone to take the blow just by calling for protection?"

"Confirmed, Qiye brand light cone, honest and reliable."

"Will the person being pulled over get hurt?"

"It will only block one instance of damage, and then it will teleport you back. It will definitely cause some damage, but it won't be fatal."

After all, it's just blocking one blow; it's not like someone should die for you.

Xing nodded.

Qi Ye continued to promote the product.

"And the side effect is that you walk more arrogantly, speak more domineeringly, and see everyone as your subject."

To be honest, I don't think this is a side effect for you at all.

"Isn't this how you always are?"

Xing thought for a moment:

You have a point.

I do act more like an emperor than an emperor in everyday life.

She reached out and took the light cone card, looked at it over and over twice, and then looked up at him.

"And the price?"

"Same as always, five million credits."

A divine shield, a life-saving accessory, and an emperor's experience card—absolutely worth it!

Xing glanced down at her account balance and remained silent for a moment:

Two million. That's the most I can ask for.

"Four million. Even a single Emperor Experience Card would cost more than that."

"Two and a half million. That's the highest it can go."

If you disagree, I'll go talk to March 7th about a joint purchase.

Although she doesn't need them, I can grant her some privileges.

Anyway, we're good friends, you know what I mean.

Qi Ye's lips twitched, and she gave in:

"Sold for three million. Cash on delivery."

"make a deal."
