People are in Xingtie, and I am their dead white moonlight?

Feeling the "long-lost" atmosphere of their homeland, Jiang Mo and the other Yao Qingyun riders showed a visibly relaxed look on their faces.

Compared to the nerve-wracking smell of blood on the battlefield, the air in Yaoqing mixed with a hint of fireworks was like a tranquilizer, gradually calming their restless hearts.

The news of the coalition forces' great victory had already spread throughout Yaoqing. Almost all the residents of Yaoqing came to Qingqiu Port, cheering for their triumphant return.

"Eternal victory! Great victory is assured! Eternal victory! Great victory is assured!"

Looking at the Yaoqing people cheering in front of him, Feixiao was stunned at first, and then he smiled softly.

"Perhaps..." She gently tugged at Jiang Mo's sleeve, "This is the meaning of me becoming a Cloud Rider, the cloud that protects the Immortal Boat."

Hearing Fei Xiao's sigh, Jiang Mo's lips curled up slightly, then he held the girl's hand and asked softly:

"Remember that suspense I kept you in earlier? What you're seeing right now is the main reason why you shouldn't pay attention to those rumors."

"We are the Cloud Riders, protecting the hundreds of millions of people on the Immortal Ship. What we protect is not a cold giant ecological ship, but the lights of thousands of homes."

"Don't pay attention to what those people say, because they may be acting unintentionally. Of course, they may also have some malicious intent, but..."

Jiang Mo's gaze gradually shifted to the cheering people of the Immortal Boat, and he chuckled and said:

"Their voices are always louder than those with malicious intent, aren't they?"

Hearing Jiang Mo's words, Fei Xiao's emerald pupils shrank slightly, as if he had understood a lot of things in an instant under his inspiration.

Yue Yu, who was standing in front of the two of them, smiled faintly at this moment, then nodded to Jingtian beside her. After leaving the most crowded place, she unnoticedly pulled the two of them out of the queue and walked towards the alley on the side.

Jiang Mo and Fei Xiao did not react too much to Yue Yu's "abnormal behavior" because they knew what was going to happen next.

After turning several corners and entering an empty alley, Yue Yu gently turned around and rubbed Jiang Mo and Fei Xiao's heads lovingly.

"Remember Master's words—one day, if you can truly control the power within your bodies... you won't have to be treated like thieves by the Alliance."

Seeing the helplessness revealed in those pale eyes, Jiang Mo and Fei Xiao looked at each other at the same time, then chuckled and nodded.

"It's okay, Master. Feixiao and I can accept the current situation. After all... we don't want the place we protect to be damaged because of a momentary 'loss of control'."

Jiang Mo said softly.

"One day, Jiang Mo and I will let everyone in the Immortal Boat know that we will only be the sharpest spears of the Immortal Boat, and will never become the enemy of the Immortal Boat!"

Feixiao waved his fist, as if to cheer himself up.

Looking at the two energetic children in front of her, Yue Yu's face showed a look of both relief and distress. Just when she was about to say something, a cold female voice came from the darkness at the end of the alley.

"As the Judge of the Ten Kings, I'm very happy to hear you two think so. This saves me a lot of effort."

A woman with a face as pale as paper and dark circles under her eyes walked out of the darkness while speaking, and even yawned slightly when she walked in front of the three people.

"I am Xunling, the Judge of the Ten Kings, who is in charge of the "punishment" part of the "Imprisonment and Interrogation" of the Ten Kings Department. I have been ordered by the Marshal to put the "shackles" on you two."

As Xun Ling spoke, he pulled out two black bracelets from his pocket like a magic trick and continued to explain:

"This thing originally belonged to the Judge. Since it has the ability to block imaginary energy, I just used it directly."

Click——

With a crisp sound ringing in the ears of the two men, the bracelet was already buckled on their wrists.

"I've adjusted the intensity of the restraints so they won't leave you helpless. At least they're at the level you need for daily life and training."

"This thing will remain effective within the range of the Immortal Boat. In other words...once you enter the battlefield, it will naturally become ineffective."

"Alright, General Yue Yu, my mission is complete. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep. That white wolf we captured yesterday was incredibly stubborn. I spent a whole day interrogating him before I got anything useful out of him."

With that, the judge named "Xunling" walked into the darkness on his own and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the darkness at the end of the alley, Yue Yu shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"The people from the Ten Kings Division are really... Forget it, Jiang Mo, Fei Xiao, are you two feeling uncomfortable in any way?"

"Apart from feeling a little weak, I don't feel anything..."

Fei Xiao clenched his fists lightly, feeling the force which was much weaker than usual. He blinked and looked at Jiang Mo beside him, and he also shook his head lightly.

"I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I just feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden..."

Looking at the two people with normal expressions, Yue Yu nodded gently, then took them out of the dark alley and walked towards the venue of this celebration banquet - the Qingqiu Army Martial Arts Field.

Just after the three of them left, Judge Xun Ling, who seemed to have stayed up too late, suddenly poked his head out from the darkness, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Ah... What a tedious task! Why would a judge ask me to monitor two young lovers? Could they possibly dismantle the immortal boat with their restraints on?"

After saying that, Xun Ling once again blended into the darkness and disappeared into the alley.

However, she did not know at this moment that on her first day in office, she would be able to witness with her own eyes how destructive power Feixiao possessed when he was in a "drunk state", and thus deeply understood the "good intentions" of the Xianzhou top management.

Errata: According to the in-game text, the aforementioned Fanghu Xianzhou Longzun and General "冱渊君" should be a female. This has been corrected.

My hand is in better condition now. I will sort out the outline for the rest of the post and resume normal updates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow: D

Chapter 69: A Marriage Blessed by the Emperor's Bow (4k)

Looking at the vast venue in front of him, which was decorated with lights and filled with the aroma of wine and fairy boat dishes, Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment. It seemed difficult to connect it with the martial arts field in his memory that was always filled with coldness and solemnity.

"Is this... the speed of the Immortal Boat?"

Jiang Mo muttered involuntarily.

As if hearing Jiang Mo's mumbling, Yue Yu showed a proud smile on his face and said with a chuckle:

"After we reported our victory back to Yaoqing, all the staff from the Six Departments and Six Imperial Guards who stayed behind on the Immortal Ships and didn't participate in the battle spontaneously organized a celebratory dinner for the coalition forces formed by the three major Immortal Ships."

"After all... they defeated the combined forces of the four Buli hunting packs. Everyone understood that no matter how frantic the Buli people were, they couldn't possibly continue the fight with their pitiful remaining forces."

"And this also means that the immortal ship "Yao Qing", which has been shuttling through the rich galaxy for thousands of years, finally has a very long "vacation".

Hearing Yue Yu's words, Fei Xiao blinked, and then asked in a low voice:

"Does that mean... the 'Shengzhou Speed' is actually the result of everyone's cooperation?"

"Although not entirely, but... it's okay to say that." Yue Yu said as she turned around. She was facing her two disciples, and there was a unique gleam in her pale eyes.

The next moment, the general, who was already somewhat erratic in nature, suddenly opened his arms and said loudly:

"This victory is the result of the joint efforts of the Cloud Cavalry soldiers from the three major Immortal Boat coalitions. Our victory is inseparable from everyone present!"

"If it weren't for the Qingqiu Army charging ahead, we might not be able to successfully break through the Buli people's front line;"

"If it weren't for the Ming Ke Guards, who were wearing heavy armor and providing timely support, we would have suffered heavy casualties in this war;"

"If it weren't for the battle fleet formed by Luo Fu and Yao Qing pilots, we would have been exhausted by the bloody battleships of the Xingfeng Hunter Group in this war;"

"Without everyone's cooperation, without Jingtian Taibu's calm command, without Yukong's experienced guidance, and without Jiang Mo and Feixiao's two sharpest spears, we would not be able to tear through the sudden blood-red sky, so-"

Yue Yu suddenly turned around and looked at the people who had already set their sights on them. The smile that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out. She smiled and raised the wine glass that she had taken out from somewhere, and shouted loudly:

"Everyone, raise your glasses and cheer for the greatest hero of this battle—ourselves!"

Before he finished speaking, waves of enthusiastic applause and cheers burst out from the mouths of the people standing in front of the long table. In an instant, the originally deserted martial arts field instantly turned into a sea of ​​laughter.

Yue Yu's words also meant the official start of the celebration banquet. Yunqi, who was already unable to contain himself, began to enjoy this feast.

Some people chatted around the long table, occasionally bursting into laughter; some fox girls boldly searched among the many cloud riders for their favorite one; and others gathered in groups of three or four, planning their next trip to Yaoqing...

This lively scene was reflected in Feixiao's emerald pupils, and the scene before his eyes gradually overlapped with a certain night in his memory - that was the scene when he was rescued by the Qingqiu Army on Luo Yuxing.

It was so lively at that time.

Just when Fei Xiao was thinking about something, Yue Yu suddenly patted her and Jiang Mo on the shoulders, chuckled and said:

"Alright, stop standing there like an idiot. As the two great contributors to this victory, go enjoy your celebration banquet! Staying on edge won't help you improve your martial arts. Let's have some fun, and those complicated and troublesome things..."

Yue Yu paused for a moment, a kind smile appeared on his face, and then he patted their shoulders again and said softly:

"Master is here to support me."

Hearing this, Fei Xiao blinked first, then glanced at Jiang Mo who was looking at him, chuckled and nodded, then took Jiang Mo's hand and said as he walked towards the martial arts arena:

"Thank you, Master!"

Looking at the two little guys gradually going away, a gentle smile appeared on Yue Yu's face.

"Didn't you tell them?"

Jingtian, dressed in white, walked out slowly from the corner of the martial arts arena, symbolically clinked glasses with Yue Yu, and then quietly looked at Jiang Mo and Feixiao who walked into the crowd, and asked softly.

"Why tell them? To make them worry about the future and then make it difficult for them to live their lives properly now?"

Yue Yu gave Jingtian a displeased look and said so.

"...It seems you like these two little guys very much."

"Of course!" After saying this, Yue Yu's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, and then he sighed softly.

"I originally thought that with the blessing of Lord Changle, Jiang Mo could go further than before, but...his sense of responsibility will make him take on more responsibilities."

"Friendship, family, love... these things he swore to defend with his life will eventually become his death warrant and hit him."

"I don't know if that girl can bear his 'ending'..."

"can."

He suddenly spoke and murmured in a low voice:

"She will be baptized in the fire of war, and then... be "reborn."

Hearing the riddle from the Yuque Taibu, Yue Yu frowned subconsciously, and then hit him lightly.

"I say, you're a weird person. Why are you saying such nonsense in such a good atmosphere? If you don't say anything, no one will think you're not a fortune teller!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore."

......

Just as Yue Yu and Jingtian were arguing with each other, Jiang Mo and Fei Xiao had already walked into the crowd.

As two major contributors to this war, coupled with their already prominent status, it goes without saying that they are both very recognizable. The moment they approached the crowd, they became the focus of everyone's attention.

As if noticing the two people's tightly clasped fingers, the Cloud Riders all smiled in a flirtatious manner, and immediately started to tease:

"Jiang Xiaowei! We finally finished the battle with Bu Liren. During this time of rest...why don't you hurry up and hold the wedding with Miss Feixiao? So that we can have some wedding wine?"

"Well, coming back to the point, if it weren't for Jiang Xiaowei and Miss Feixiao, I would have died at Bu Liren's hands long ago... You two! I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Let me toast you first!"

"No, aren't we here to celebrate? Why are you saying such heavy words? Jiang Xiaowei, I'm going to ask you a question - are those rumors from the past few days true?"

Looking at the mysterious Yunqi in front of him, Jiang Mo blinked slightly, not quite understanding what he meant for a moment.

Seeing that Jiang Mo looked confused, Yunqi winked and gave Jiang Mo some hints.

"Hey, about that story between you and that golden flower from Tianbosi...is it true or not?"

Hearing this, Jiang Mo's expression instantly changed from confusion to helplessness. He really didn't expect these guys to be so gossipy, but...

His relationship with Feixiao and Ningli was not shameful, so there was nothing he couldn't talk about.

"of course..."

"Of course it's true~ I was the one who set them up."

Before Jiang Mo could finish, Fei Xiao stuffed a glass of wine into Jiang Mo's hand and took over the conversation to answer the Yunqi.

As soon as these words were spoken, the cloud riders, who were already a bit noisy, instantly became quiet. They all stared at Jiang Mo in amazement, as if he was some kind of monster from outer space.

Shock, envy, admiration, and even jealousy - the gazes of these Cloud Riders made Jiang Mo a little uncomfortable for a while, but it was only "for a while".

After all...he really has such an understanding partner.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo turned his head slightly, looked at Fei Xiao, who had already set his eyes on him, and smiled gently.

Just when Jiang Mo was about to say something, the fox girl, still wearing the Tianbosi uniform, staggered through the crowd and stood behind Jiang Mo in front of everyone's gaze.

"Hey! Jiang Mo, Ningli couldn't find you for a long time, so I brought her to find you!"

Jiang Mo looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yukong standing on the outskirts of the crowd, giving him a thumbs-up with an expression that said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
