Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

Hu Lei: "Hurry up! Don't you want to eliminate the effects of Moon Madness?"

"Ah—! You'll regret this!"

"Outside the cave, Feixiao yawned and leaned against the wall. She might be resting, or she might be pondering the information she had received."

"She was indeed afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle the Moon Frenzy and would become a mindless, bloodthirsty beast."

"But her faith is in shooting stars."

"A shooting star that has guided me since childhood, bringing freedom, hope... and also disaster—the Light Arrow of the Imperial Bow."

—Walking with Yunli—

This story takes place during Xiao Sanyue's sword practice.

"Did you see March 7th? She wasn't practicing her sword."

"March 7th? We don't have anyone named March 7th around here?"

"You're helping her skip class, huh? Want to practice with my buddy?"

"I really don't know. (crying)"

"I don't care, you are her guardian now. Come to Jinren Alley, I need to talk to you."

The above message is a chat conversation between Yun Li and Xing.

Xing put down her phone. Sigh, they actually called her parents. I really can't control things in March.

But March didn't say where she went, did it? Could she have gone to Star Trek... as a guest?

Let's go find Yun Li in Jinren Alley first.

[Rin: Haha, how can Miss March be so cute? She's a generation younger than me!]

[March 7th: Star! What are you doing? When did you become my parent?]

[Danheng: Himeko and Mr. Welt are not here, Hoshi and I can temporarily be your guardians.]

[Star: Sigh, if the child doesn't try, talking to the parents won't help.]

[March 7th: Why not? Xing clearly got on the bus later than me!]

[Yun Li: Indeed, Grandpa usually kicks out the person who complains...]

[Amber: Uh… this tattling, your grandpa really spoils you.]

Xing quickly arrived at Jinren Alley, where Yun Li was waiting at the entrance.

"You came."

"Before you came, I had already looked around... I searched everywhere, but March 7th isn't here."

Yun Li crossed her arms, her mouth bulging.

Xing: "Maybe it will be on March 7th..."

Yun Li smiled and said, "Let's just say she successfully skipped class. She's been training for so long, she should take a break."

After saying that, she looked up, squinted her eyes, and said with a proud expression, "Besides, when I used to practice swordsmanship, I was more likely to skip classes than she was—if I was interested, I could practice for three days and three nights; if I wasn't interested, none of my senior brothers or sisters could find me."

"Then... can I go back now?" Xing was a little nervous, as it was her first time being a parent.

Wendy: Miss March is always the darling of everyone, just like Klee.

[Klee: La la la~ Klee is so happy today! Hanabi-neechan's bomb finally came to me, a bouncy bomb! ...Oh, it's Hanabi-neechan's bomb!]

[Hanabi: Klee, be careful, you're playing tonight.]

[Sangbo: Fireworks, you're even a kid... It's alright, it was just fireworks.]

[March 7th: I'm an incredibly cute and adorable pink-and-white pretty girl.]

[Star: Hooray! Hooray!]

[Pam: Star Passenger! You've dirtied the train again!]

[Silver Branch: Do you admit...?]

Yun Li told Xing not to go back yet, saying that if she had asked Xing to come, she would definitely treat her well.

"Let me treat you to something nice to eat."

Xing nodded in agreement; who doesn't like getting something for free?

The two arrived at Shangziwei Restaurant.

"Boss, two people!"

"Let's order one of everything on the menu, from top to bottom."

As soon as I arrived in Yunli, I couldn't wait to place an order with the boss.

The owner, Yan Cui, scratched her head, her tone hesitant, "This... the menu from top to bottom?"

[Azure Horn: Wow, so you like to eat too.]

[Paimon: Hehe, this is making me hungry! Traveler, shall we eat first?]

[Gui Naifen: You absolutely must try the Fairy Boat Special Drink... Soda Soy Juice.]

That was incredibly... incredibly... incredibly... incredibly.

Xing looked down at Yun Li and said shyly, "I only have fifty yuan of pocket money a day."

"Don't worry, I brought money." Yun Li looked at Xing confidently.

[Ling: Xing, are you sure it's only fifty a day? You're probably saving it up for fireflies, aren't you?]

[Firefly: I have money... I have a lot of money, Xing, you can spend mine.]

[Kafka: You can tell me if you need money.]

[Estella: Um... Hoshi, you could actually borrow money from me, it's okay if you don't pay it back.]

[Star: Ugh, my damn charm.]

[Nicole: Envious of other people's day, Ring... can I buy something on credit?]

[Ling & Zhe: No way!]

Wendy: Anyone want some Mora flowers? I can perform a talent for them.

Diluc: Pay first, then drink.

[Yun Li: Nobody cares about me. (Draws circles.)]

[Yanqing: I… cough cough, Miss Yunli, you are very rich.]

[Fireworks: You're a great conversationalist.]

The owner smiled awkwardly and said that he would serve a few dishes first and then add more if needed.

Before the food was served, Yun Li was very interested in Xing's sword. Yan Qing had said that her strength was not to be underestimated and that her weapon was also unique.

Yun Li wanted to know if its weight was uniform, what material it was made of, what kind of intricate mechanisms were embedded in it, and what kind of swordsmanship it was used with…

My weapons? A baseball bat, a flamethrower, a hat... but a hat doesn't seem to be a weapon.

After thinking for a moment, Xing placed her most trusted companion... baseball bat in front of Yun Li.

It was a baseball bat that was made of one piece, with silver threads and gold patterns, thicker at the front and thinner at the back...

"It really is a baseball bat," Yun Li exclaimed. "Grandpa said that a sword has no fixed form. But this baseball bat of yours can be considered a sword."

"However, Grandpa also said that things reflect their owners. Your weapon will also reflect your habits and personality."

Yun Li blinked. "Let me guess, you're someone who... doesn't follow the rules, likes to improvise, and can calmly handle truly formidable opponents. Am I wrong?"

[Star: Rules are meant to be broken!]

[Yun Li: Looks like I was right. Pretty impressive, huh?]

[Black Tower: Isn't that the artifact you stole from my space station? It doesn't have any other special properties, but it's incredibly tough.]

[*Kevin: Baseball bat…]

[*Alicia: Oh dear, it seems you're reminiscing about the past. Can you tell me about it, Kevin?]

Kiana: Hey Hoshino, are you interested in practicing? I also like using baseball bats as weapons.

[Star: Okay, let's challenge the space!]

Silver Wolf: I want to be a spectator. @*Bronya, let's go together! ]

Xing: "Did you install a camera behind me?"

Yun Li smiled confidently, "Is it accurate? I bet you always say weird things like rules are meant to be broken."

[Star: You don't really know anything about this!]

[Yun Li: Of course, I've seen countless swords.]

"I have seen many sanctimonious sword masters who lie as naturally as eating and drinking. But the sword is always honest—the sword will tell me that its master is nothing more than a petty person who is subservient to divine weapons."

"So far, I have hunted hundreds of swords, and all of them have been like this. These swords will be melted down one by one, without exception!"

Chapter 166 Lonely Clouds, Embracing Light

Xing asked doubtfully, "You would steal someone else's sword and melt it?"

Yun Li said with absolute certainty, "I only challenge those who are unqualified, and forging is my way of protecting those swords."

[Yanqing: Miss Yunli, your way of protecting the sword is truly unique.]

[Rin: Isn't this sword a weapon? Could it possibly have some kind of consciousness?]

[Yun Li: Of course, especially that person… the 1,382 demonic swords forged using the Sun's Essence. I will retrieve them all.]

[The Suiyang can absorb a person's spirit and emotions, thus forming various Suiyang personalities. For example, if its owner likes to eat cotton candy, the Suiyang will eventually also develop a personality that likes cotton candy.]

[Huo Huo: Then why isn't its tail as timid as mine?]

[Grandpa Tail: I'm not like those little guys, you can't affect me.]

While Yun Li and Xing were chatting, Yu Kong's secretary, Xi Kui, came to their side.

"Long time no see, Xing."

Xing responded politely, after all, they were acquaintances and had met before.

Yuuki is entertaining a guest from the distant star Kalevala, Mr. Pavol.

He was a man with slightly dark skin, wearing a blue suit.

His hometown had only recently been invited to join the Pan-Galaxy Trade System, and his trip to Xianzhou was not only for business, but also to return what belonged to Xianzhou.

A magical sword that has been lost in a foreign land for many years.

That's right, it's the very sword that General Huaiyan promised as the prize for the champion of the martial arts ceremony.

Yuuki also invited Hoshino and the other two to join in the fun and witness the moment when the sword returned.

[Huaiyan: Alas, fate is cruel. I didn't originally intend for Yunli to know.]

[Yun Li: Grandpa, are you hiding something from me? There's something wrong with that sword, isn't there?]

[Yanqing: You get all worked up whenever swords are mentioned, is that really necessary?]

[Yun Li: Shut up, take care of your own sword. Don't worry about me.]

[March 7th: What's wrong with Master? She seems a bit off.]

[Xiangling: Where's the food? Aren't you eating?]

[Star: Mmm. Baby's tummy is rumbling again.]

[Silver Wolf: You really know how to use internet slang.]

Pavor greeted him excitedly, his eyes full of joy.

"Hello, both of you. It's not easy to come to Luofu, but the scenery here is indeed very different from our hometown. It's truly worth the trip."

"Once the sword donation process is complete, I will choose a quiet spot on this street and plant the sapling. At that time, my mission will be accomplished."

[Gui Naifen: Seedlings? This video made me instantly alert, could it be...?]
