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

[Fufu: No wonder Jiaoqiu is so eager to find a cure for Yuekuang. General Feixiao, you must hold on!]

[Hu Lei: I knew I wasn't wrong. The amount of blue bloodline within you is no less than mine. Once you obtain the Crimson Moon, you'll never have to worry about losing control again.]

[Hu Lei: Accept my proposal, Fei Xiao!]

[Feixiao: You really haven't given up on your wicked intentions.]

Chapter 192 Offering Oneself to the Wolves

"...Is this why you're so determined to uncover the secret from me? Can you hear me, Pepper?"

Hu Lei looked at the extremely weak Jiao Qiu in front of him.

Jiaoqiu forced a smile and said, "I heard it, I heard it very clearly."

From Jiaoqiu's words, Hulei learned roughly about Feixiao's experiences.

"In the great battle on the Fanghu Immortal Boat thirty years ago, she saved everyone, but on the verge of death, she unexpectedly discovered that the bloodline of Bu Li flowed in her body."

“Medu told me that she was a war slave who escaped from the Eclipse Hunting Group. What a strange coincidence that she and I came from the same tribe.”

Mo Du chimed in, "So that's how it is. That fox-woman's power, decisiveness, and cruelty... are all thanks to her Bu Li bloodline. Bastard... that despicable bastard general."

Hu Lei became interested, and with a hint of appreciation on his face, he burst into laughter.

"She destroyed Bu Liren with the gift of her own bloodline."

"Moon Madness, the blessing of wolves, the curse of foxes. For Bu Liren, being torn apart by Moon Madness in battle, transforming into a beast... is the ultimate joy."

"But for you fox people with limited self-healing abilities, it's a dead end."

"With the burning rage surging in her heart, this fox-woman general fought relentlessly, indiscriminately attacking friend and foe alike. The wounds that appeared on her body were not from the enemy's weapons, but from the immense power she could not withstand."

“One day, she will die as a monster, torn to pieces.”

The shadow of Hulei, with its head held high, contrasted sharply with the shadow of Jiaoqiu, which was bent over.

He had now wholeheartedly accepted the identity of the physician from Jiaoqiu.

"To repay her for saving your life, you intend to do everything in your power to tackle this unsolvable mystery."

[Feixiao: Jiaoqiu, you were the one who saved me on the battlefield.]

[You wretched Bu Liren, Mo Du, is it? I happen to be the officer guarding you; let me give you some more torture.]

[Hu Lei: Fox people... I now have to admit that although you are weaker, you are indeed smarter than those wolf cubs.]

[Hu Lei: I'll remember you, Pepper Hill, you managed to fool my eyes.]

[Jiaoqiu: I am but a humble physician, how could I possibly deceive Lord Zhan? I merely know a little more than you do. Heh.]

[Hu Lei: I focus on results and am willing to admit defeat.]

Wendy: Putting everything else aside, Hure is truly a powerful leader; his vision, strength, and cunning should not be underestimated.

[The same goes for the Grand Duke of the Underworld; they are pure evil, making people wish they were dead, yet one has to admit they deserve their position.]

[Doctor: Oh, and what about me?]

[Ying: You don't deserve it!]

Jiaoqiu reflected on his life as a doctor.

“Hu Lei…do you know what the most tragic thing is for a healer?”

"All along, I have used all my knowledge to try to take back the lives that were about to die from monsters like you."

"I collapsed onto the floor, exhausted, my hands trembling, and I thought that everything I had done had meaning..."

"But they went to the battlefield again. And then I heard the news of their deaths."

Jiaoqiu gritted her teeth, her face filled with hatred, "They died under your claws, in the flames of the crashing Starship, in the light arrows of the Emperor's Bow..."

"I asked myself, what made them rush to the brink of death again after recovering from their injuries? Why didn't they cherish the hard-won life?"

"This makes me feel lost and empty..."

Hu Lei sneered, "Heh... I smell a deep-seated despair in you."

Jiaoqiu ignored him and continued talking.

"In the end, I realized that even departure has its value. The weight of their departure pressed down on the hearts of us living people, giving us more strength."

"They used the coin of death to gain so much more..."

Jiaoqiu swallowed hard and laughed. The laughter was desolate yet tragic, heavy and oppressive.

He had long since disregarded life and death.

"This is all I'm doing now, staying right by your side, just to witness one outcome with my own eyes: your death..."

The conversation shifted abruptly, with Jiaoqiu's tone filled with madness and relief.

"Your death has its value. It will ensure the safety of the martial arts ceremony and the healing of Feixiao by me."

[Feng Jin: This is Mr. Jiaoqiu's perspective on war from a healer's point of view, witnessing firsthand how cured patients returned to the battlefield and died.]

[Natasha: It is extremely rare for someone to remain mentally sound despite suffering from incurable patients, cured patients who then die.]

Studying medicine cannot save a war.

[Feixiao: So I came to heal the war, and Jiaoqiu healed me; that's what we agreed on.]

[Pepper Hill: Hmm.]

[March 7th: Judging from Jiaoqiu's words, it seems he almost stepped onto the path of nothingness.]

[Star: Then does that mean my sister Huangquan has a teammate now? Cough cough, just kidding.]

[Hu Lei: You're lying. You've already moved on. Your acting is flawless.]

[Jiaoqiu: Of course I'm telling the truth, I've just omitted a bit of the process.]

[Feixiao: It is through loss that we understand the preciousness of life. We carry not only our own burdens, but also the countless soldiers and civilians who died on the battlefield.]

[Feixiao: I will inherit their will; the war will not end, the hunt will not cease!]

[March 7th: Haha, the atmosphere's gotten so tense, it'd be a shame if the Star God didn't give us a quick glance.]

[Star: Come, I am ready. The Hunt for Fate—Open!]

[Kafka: This... doesn't seem to be in the script. Your next destiny, Star, isn't hunting.]

[Star: Mom, what's that?]

Silver Wolf: You'll have to discover that for yourself.

Hu Lei snorted coldly, "The thoughts swirling in your pathetic head are exactly as expected."

Jiaoqiu: "You knew all along?"

Hu Lei looked slightly pleased. "Indeed, because no one understands the value of death better than Bu Liren. And for a physician like you who has seen death so often, simple fears cannot deter you."

"It's a real shame. The moment I finished hearing this story, I felt a surge of respect for you."

Jiaoqiu questioned, "Can respect even arise in your heart, which flows with poisonous blood?"

Hu Lei's expression turned serious. "Of course, because I vaguely sensed the scent of my own kind. Unfortunately, you are ultimately just a powerless fox."

"As the ancient proverb of wolves says: Give a wolf a dead end, and it will find a way forward. ... If you seek only comfort and security, you will find nowhere to live; but if you fight to the death, you will live forever."

At this point, Jiaoqiu slightly raised her head, a smile appearing on her lips, but it vanished in an instant.

"That's why I'm keeping you around for now; I'll show you the utmost respect the Buli people have for their enemies."

"We will devour your flesh and blood to nourish our bones, shatter your visions, and pave our hunting grounds; let your dead souls bear witness that the future belongs to us!"

[Yanqing: Oh no! Hulei is going to eat the Jiaoqiu envoy!]

[Jiaoqiu: I really didn't expect to be respected by the War Chief. I am flattered.]

[Last Words: You lowly beast, you are not allowed to insult our war leader!]

[Hu Lei: Offering yourself to the wolves? You certainly have guts.]

"Aunt Himeko, I want to become the strongest Valkyrie!"

"A white-haired girl flashed through Himeko's last memories."

"Himeko, whose pupils were out of focus, was engulfed by fiery red flames, like a god descending to earth."

"Kiana, lift your head and keep going."

"Go and transform this imperfect story into the way you envision it!"

"Live on, Kiana."

"At this moment, Himeko's entire body was covered in cracks, and the greatsword in her hand also shattered."

"His only remaining consciousness is to embrace Kiana beneath him; no, he is still the Ruler of the Sky."

"This is the final lesson."

"As the serum was injected, Kiana's Honkai energy continued to dissipate outwards."

"And Himeko fell into the abyss as space collapsed."

"But at that moment, a golden teleportation array appeared beneath her, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared with Himeko's remains."

"Star Iron Universe, emerald green mist surged from Yu Mo's hand, and Himeko's body and soul were rapidly repaired under the pure life force."

"Everything should be fine now. Once the treatment is complete, send him to the Star Train."

"Walter will be very surprised; he'll actually see someone he knows this time."

Chapter 193 The Ancient Teachings of the Wolf

Modu reminded them that the Star Harbor's setup had been discovered and they had to leave immediately.

Hu Lei remained calm after hearing this, saying, "This is not unexpected at all."

Suddenly, the sound of cannon salutes came from the direction of the Jingfeng warship.

Hu Lei: "Medu... what is that sound?"

The Jingfeng warship? How could this be? The military drill has begun.

Mo Du worriedly said, "The Sky Ship Bureau will clear the shipping routes! If our star raft tries to escape, it will definitely be discovered."

Hu Lei turned around and scolded, "Calm down, Mo Du! Look at you, hiding here and there, living in fear... Where is the slightest bit of dignity of a Bu Li human being!"

Modu retorted, "I don't care about dignity if it's for your safe return! As long as you can return to the pack, there's still hope!"

Hu Lei had already seen through the current situation.

"Hope? The Bu Li people have long forgotten the ancient teachings of wolves! Weak beasts place their hopes on the protection of the strong, while powerful beasts will fight their way out on their own!"

"Your current desire to welcome back Hulei, rather than to choose a new leader, proves the decline of the entire race."

"And that prophet who manipulated you to come and rescue me is nothing but a fraudster trying to exploit the Dulan bloodline!"

Hu Lei was very clear-headed, understanding that going back would only mean being controlled.

He was a villain, but also a ruthless and powerful figure.

"Modu, let me tell you how the Buli people rose to power!"

“We will never hide like rats in the streets and alleys of Xianzhou. You should be a hungry wolf baring its fangs, walking among a flock of lambs.”

[Qingque: There's a reason why he could be imprisoned for seven hundred years; other Bu Li people simply can't compare.]

[Danheng: That's why they spared no expense to rescue Hure.]

[Modu: My lord, you are right. We Buli people have long lost our fighting spirit. Heaven is going to destroy us Buli people!]

[Hu Lei: The future is in your own hands; you still haven't truly realized the problem of hunting prey.]

Wendy: That's terrifyingly clear-headed. Hure should give up on escaping the Celestial Ship now, because he's a prisoner no matter where he is.

[Yanqing: No matter what, we cannot let him run rampant on the Immortal Ship!]

Lord War Chief intends to unleash a massacre!

Modu hurriedly advised, "Lord War Chief, our wolf pack isn't here! We can't start a war rashly!"
