The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　[Star] had never seen a creature with such a voracious appetite before. As for someone with a sense of direction like a black hole, [Star] had seen one before: the sea patrol knight Huang Quan. Every time [Star] saw her, she was either lost or about to get lost. But [Star] was a good actress and immediately used small gestures to cover up her surprise.

　If you ask Lanmei what her favorite dishes are, they'd probably be pickled fish and braised pig's trotters. The tender pig's trotters, the milky white broth, and the sour, spicy, and tender fish slices made Lanmei forget that this dish belongs to Xingyuan cuisine. It wasn't until Lanmei ate the chili peppers in the pickled fish that her face turned bright red from the spiciness, and she had to drink several cups of apricot blossom wine to recover.

　Robin prefers rock sugar lotus seeds and Dong'an chicken. The unique feature of these two dishes is that they use the unique cooking techniques of Mingting cuisine to make the flavor of the dishes richer and more delicious. Dong'an chicken, in particular, is an excellent dish made solely by the cooking techniques and the freshness of the ingredients, without any other seasonings.

　After that, [Star] took the initiative to take over the task of feeding the young girl. Previously, it was done by Robin and Lanmei. What Robin found amazing was that even with two more pairs of chopsticks to feed her, the young girl's eating speed remained the same, but the food would disappear much faster than before.

　Of course, Hoshi also had her own little thoughts. While feeding the young girl, Hoshi couldn't help but show Hanabi's unique smile.

　【Star】 placed a large piece of roasted meat on the little girl's left and right sides, making the little girl sway back and forth to get the meat. Seeing that the little girl didn't seem to mind, 【Star】 picked up a large piece of beef, held it up a little higher, and said, "Xiao Guang, can you tell me where you're from?"

　The little girl grabbed a fried fish from the plate in front of her and stuffed it into her mouth. While chewing, she kept looking at the piece of beef, completely ignoring the question raised by [Star]. Moreover, [Star] did not raise the beef very high, so the little girl simply stood up and took a bite of the beef. After chewing twice, she swallowed it.

　Robin was chatting with Kafka about clothes, Lanmei was talking to Liuying about desserts, and Silver Wolf was playing video games, so even though they noticed the little girl and [Star] playing together, they didn't pay any attention to it.

　After sitting down, the little girl continued chewing on the fried fish in front of her. The fish was small, so she usually grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth. This plate of fried fish was just to whet her appetite. The little girl then reached for the whole roasted lamb next to her and tore into the lamb meat, her face glistening with oil.

　Meanwhile, Xing would occasionally pick up braised prawns and roast duck and feed them to the little girl. Xing tried several times, but before she could get the food she wanted, the little girl had already eaten it all. This forced Xing to make it a little more difficult for the little girl to get the food each time.

　So, "Little Hikari, just try a little harder and you'll get it!" With [Star]'s repeated teasing, the little girl suddenly stood up, slamming her hands on the table, "That's Hikari~"

　Her crimson-gold eyes glared angrily at [Star], who was gradually dragging the roast duck toward her. Her pupils were slowly contracting. To others, the little girl looked like an adorable, ruffled kitten. But Lanmei knew exactly what the little girl was like.

　If it were in its ultimate form, it would probably have already slapped it with its claw.

　"My sister is just curious about where you're from."

　"Oh, after all, you're so similar to the Dragon Lord and Bai Lu that Dan Heng mentioned."

　【Star】 lifted the roast duck high and explained. Although 【Star】 noticed that the little girl's actions were a bit strange, she was lifting it even higher than the little girl. Could it be that the little girl would jump directly to that height? As for Lan Mei, she was not worried at all. Although 【Star】 was not the one she knew, she had no ill intentions.

　As for the current situation, it's perfectly apt to describe it as courting disaster.

　However, [Star] was clearly unaware of the problem and continued to tease the little girl in front of him with roast duck. Kafka and the others saw that Robin and Lanmei did not stop him or offer any help. Then, just as [Star] was about to talk to Firefly, the little girl swallowed the whole roasted lamb in her mouth. [Star] happened not to notice the little girl's action.

　"what!!"

　A scream immediately drew everyone's attention. The scream did not come from Xing, but from a girl in red and white. Robin and Firefly immediately recognized her as Hanabi, whom they had seen in Pinocchio. They were momentarily stunned, but quickly realized what had happened.

　"Fireworks? What are you doing here? Wait, why did Hikari bite you? No, why are you here? Where's Hoshi?"

　Volume 1: Chapter 547 - So it can fall off after all.

　Almost the instant Hanabi cried out, Hotaru's finger was already on the Firefly IV Transformation Device. Kafka was quite certain that if Hanabi did anything, Hotaru would press her finger down without hesitation.

　Silver Wolf also placed his hand on his smart pistol, Prometheus. Of course, Kafka's fingers were also wrapped with purple threads. Although the Star Core Hunter had treated the Envoy as an enemy more than once, the Envoy of Pleasure was a troublesome character.

　What puzzled Kafka was that Arashi didn't make any move. She even leisurely propped her head up with her elbow and looked in the direction of the little girl and Hanabi. Although the two sisters had a good relationship, Arashi didn't seem worried about her little girl at all. Robin, on the other hand, looked at Hanabi in a panic, then at the little girl, and finally at Arashi, as if asking what to do.

　Robin had heard her brother talk about Hanabi. Putting aside the fact that Hanabi impersonated Xing to join them, she was the [Pleasure] envoy. Moreover, the little girl had bitten Hanabi's hand. Well, in a way, could this be considered the little girl single-handedly killing the envoy?

　"Hey, chicken wing girl, what kind of look is that? Honestly, I didn't expect this little one to be so easily teased." Firework said to Robin with feigned annoyance, while trying to shake the baby off her, but the baby was holding on tightly and Firework couldn't shake her off at all.

　Hanabi noticed the actions of everyone around her. She wasn't surprised by their reactions, but Arashi's reaction was unexpected, which was quite unique.

　Kafka clasped her hands together and rested them on her chin, speaking meaningfully, "Your sense of pleasure is still so sharp. You've already seen the stars, haven't you? If you interfere, the consequences will be more than a Masked Fool can bear."

　Upon hearing Kafka's words, Hanabi stopped trying to shake off the little girl. Then, when she tried to put her hands on her hips, she found that the arm that the little girl had bitten was completely immobile. She had no choice but to endure the pain and put her other hand on her waist.

　But Hanabi's smile only grew more cheerful. "Haha, what right do you have to talk about me? I'm not that weak and self-righteous cotton candy. Oh, I've already seen Little Gray. Guess where she went."

　Hanabi's answer was clearly an attempt to lead Kafka to think about Hoshi. Rather than believing Hanabi's claim of having seen Hoshi, it would be better to believe that General Shence was actually a girl. In fact, it's best not to believe anything the [Pleasure] Envoy says. However, Kafka thought Hanabi's assessment of Huanlong was quite objective.

　"No matter where Xing goes, Luofu Immortal Ship will always know. As the Masked Fool, you also know the Hunting Arrow, which is a revenge that never ends. Moreover, this time we have already given Luofu Immortal Ship enough trust and reached a cooperation agreement. We have a very strong position on this cooperation."

　Hanabi knew that Kaffa wouldn't believe her, but drawing up another possibility had already achieved her goal. As for the cooperation Kaffa mentioned, Hanabi knew very well what they had actually done.

　"Ha, you guys"

　That's true pleasure, isn't it? To confuse the information you have and then dump it on the people on the Luofu Immortal Ship. If it were me, I'd immediately stuff you all into that place... oh, the Prison of Darkness.

　Kafka didn't deny Hanabi's words, but simply waved her hand and said lightly, "Cooperation is of course based on mutual trust. Or is it that Miss Hanabi is someone who can't keep secrets? I do have a piece of advice, though: knowing too much about some things isn't a good thing."

　"Including this little guy destroying Clofer?" Hanabi said, raising the arm that the little girl was biting, making the little girl look like a salted fish drying under the window. However, due to gravity, Hanabi's arm was not so comfortable.

　"Do you think that a planet that is full of what the people of the Immortal Ship call abundant but monstrous things still has even the slightest value to the Luofu Immortal Ship?"

　"But this little guy killed all the dogs on it. If the general of the Luofu Immortal Ship finds out, he will definitely punish this little guy severely. Hey, I was praising you. Why are you biting me even harder? Let go! You've even broken the flawless skin of Lady Hanabi."

　The little girl ignored what they were saying and just kept pulling. Hanabi finally couldn't take it anymore and picked the little girl up from the stool, trying to pull her off her arm.

　But the little girl's teeth were like a trap, firmly gripping Hanabi's arm. After several attempts, Hanabi realized that unless she didn't want the arm anymore, or the little girl let go on her own, she couldn't pull it off by force.

　Hanabi had no choice but to choose another method. She picked up the little girl and looked into her eyes. The petals in Hanabi's eyes flickered, and then a red goldfish swam towards the little girl. The sleepwalking fish's effect was to create illusions that Hanabi had designed to interfere with the other person's actions. However, illusions were not ineffective against the little girl. Well, it was just that they had no effect.

　It's not that the young girl is immune to hallucinations, but rather that this form of attack is unlikely to be effective against her. Not only does she often act on instinct, but the Dragon Jade within her body is also constantly circulating. This means that the young girl has been purifying imaginary energy since she first appeared in the Ancient Beast Battlefield, no, even earlier.

　So Hanabi's hallucination had no effect at all. Of course, Hanabi found it strange for more than just that. Normally, swords or other cold weapons, or being bitten by a creature, would not leave any marks on Hanabi's body, but the little girl had bitten her arm so tenderly, and the sleepwalking fish had no effect.

　Although Robin didn't understand what Hanabi was doing, she was still nervous and wanted to do something. Firefly and Silver Wolf knew exactly what Hanabi was planning to do. This was Hanabi's most proficient and troublesome ability, and there would probably be a battle coming. Firefly had even opened the wings of the Firefly IV Transformation Device.

　Kafka had been prepared for Hanabi to throw the bewitched girls to their side and then run away, but now it seemed that Hanabi had failed. Kafka covered her mouth and chuckled. It was the first time she had seen the [Pleasure] Envoy look so defeated. She said, "What's wrong, Miss Hanabi? Do you need our help?"

　"No, no need, she's just a naughty little girl. Ah, stop pulling so hard, you're going to bite my arm off!" No matter how hard Hanabi tried, she couldn't pull the little girl off her arm. In fact, the force she used only made Hanabi's wound worse.

　"Okay, I give up. Tell me, what should I do, Purple Butterfly?" Fireworks decisively gave up.

　"As expected of you, Ms. Hanabi, you still can't hold back your words even at a time like this. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do. Why don't you ask Ms. Arashi?"

　"Arashi?" Hanabi followed Kafka's finger and saw Arashi and Robin watching the commotion. However, compared to Arashi and Kafka, Robin seemed like a rookie. She was a little unsure how to face Hanabi, but seeing the way Arashi's eyes were curved, Hanabi seemed to know something.

　"You knew it was me from the beginning?" Hanabi could only carry the little girl, who was hanging on her other arm, to Arashi's side. As expected, Arashi's reaction was just as Kafka and Silver Wolf had predicted. Arashi and the little girl were indeed not as simple as they seemed.

　“If you say we saw you here today, then we certainly do know that.”

　Hanabi understood what Arashi meant when she heard what Arashi said, and said with great interest, "Oh, so you didn't know it was me the day before yesterday afternoon?"

　Lanmei nodded in agreement, while Hanabi seemed even more interested, moving closer to Lanmei and saying, "So you know that's me, but you don't know what I really look like? That's so interesting. Let me think, there really seems to be such a race in this universe. Could it be that you are the extinct Lone Shadow Clan?"

　"I don't know what you mean by 'lone shadow of absolute despair,' but if Xiaoguang keeps biting you like this, you'll eventually faint from bleeding."

　"Yeah, fainting once in a while is a novel experience, right? And as far as I know, you two are sisters."

　Well, that's what I initially thought, but then I suddenly changed my mind. Let me guess, you're jealous? Right?

　Hanabi always seems to be able to detect other people's weaknesses. Sure enough, when Robin heard Hanabi say that and picked up the little girl, she saw Arashi's eyebrows furrow slightly, but then she returned to calm.

　Kafka and Silver Wolf also looked over curiously. They knew that the little girl and Lanmei had a good relationship, but as for jealousy, Liuying thought it was probably the kind of jealousy she was referring to.

　Lan Mei merely raised an eyebrow before returning to normal, then said, "No one would be in a good mood if an uninvited guest barged into their party with friends, right? Or do you just enjoy the feeling of being bitten?"

　"Of course I...dislike pointless pain, but experiencing it once in a while isn't unacceptable, especially since the feeling is quite novel..."

　However, before Hanabi could finish speaking, she felt her arm loosen, and the little girl let go of her mouth. The little girl spat out the bright red blood from her mouth, leaving Hanabi with a puzzled look on her face.

　Robin looked at the little girl, then at Hanabi, and had no choice but to take out her handkerchief and bandage Hanabi's wound. Meanwhile, Silver Wolf was recording what was happening on his phone, while Kafka curiously asked Arashi how she had discovered Hanabi.

　Firefly silently put away the Firefly IV Transformation Device, then had the little girl rinse her mouth and wiped it clean. The little girl then sat back down in her seat, but the first thing she did was take the plate of roasted beef leg in front of Hanabi, tear off a piece of meat, and chew it in small bites.

　When the young girl chose the dish that Hanabi took first, Silver Wolf couldn't help but laugh out loud. Hotaru covered her mouth, trying her best not to laugh, but her constantly shaking shoulders still said something. Hanabi just stared blankly at the ceiling.

　"Is this also pleasure?"

　“This is pleasure!” Kafka asked Hanabi with a light laugh, but Hanabi answered through gritted teeth.

　"Although Luo Fu's actions this time are somewhat risky, both Luo Fu Zhu Ming and the entire Immortal Ship Alliance attach great importance to this martial arts ceremony. In particular, General Shence on the Luo Fu Immortal Ship, if you mess up this martial arts ceremony, the Immortal Ship will include you in its hunting targets."

　"Broken up? No, no, no, that's not fun at all. I don't enjoy doing such tasteless things like you Star Core Hunters."

　There was no conflict between Hanabi and the Star Core Hunter regarding the martial arts ceremony, but both Hanabi and the Star Core Hunter were very interested in young girls.

　The young girl ignored Hanabi and Kafka, whose atmosphere was gradually turning cold. The reason she bit Hanabi was because Hanabi was playing with food in front of her, which the young girl could not tolerate. She then let go because the temperature of the roasted beef leg was about to exceed the optimal eating temperature.

　The huge roasted beef leg is the signature dish here. Normally, the beef leg is cut into small pieces to eat, but the owner insists on making it with a whole beef leg, which has a unique flavor. Although it is called roasted beef leg, it is actually made by multiple processes such as low-temperature braising and high-temperature frying.

　Otherwise, if you only use one method of cooking, even if the outside of the beef leg is fried or boiled, the inside will still be raw.

　The roasted beef leg has a golden and crispy skin, sprinkled with salt and pepper, while the inside is a light brown color from being slow-cooked. If you cut the beef leg open, you'll see that the cross-section of the beef leg is like a rainbow, gradually changing from golden yellow to light brown. However, this dish also has a problem: due to the multiple processing steps, the beef can have a somewhat heavy texture.

　Customers who prefer hot beef dishes might not particularly like this one.

　But for young girls, these large chunks of meat are simply delicious, especially when the broth from the stewing process is combined with the crispy, caramelized beef on the outside—it creates a unique flavor.

　Watching the little girl intently eating her food, Firefly cautiously reached out and touched the little girl's horn. Although it was rough to the touch, the texture was really great, just like a real horn. Well, it was a real horn after all. Of course, Firefly's ultimate goal wasn't the horn, but the little girl's tail.

　Although the little girl was very quiet while eating, her tail would still wander restlessly behind her. After observing her several times, Firefly finally mustered up the courage to grab the little girl's tail and then carefully stroked it along the direction of the scales.

　The scales were smooth and not cold; they felt very comfortable to the touch, even more so than when petting Eriol. Without thinking, Firefly grabbed the little girl's tail with both hands and began to stroke it. As Firefly's speed increased, she suddenly stopped, feeling something in her hands.

　Liu Ying slowly opened her palm, revealing several shiny, thumb-sized scales on her hand.

　The firefly's expression at this moment (°口°)

　='ZZZ'/>

　Volume 1: Chapter 548 - Old Friends in the Prison

　"Hmm, you... hello everyone, um, long time no see, Xing, March 7th, Danheng, this is Huo Huo."

　"Grandpa Tail, Third Uncle!"

　As soon as Huo Huo finished greeting, her eerie green tail immediately came to life. A strange, cotton-ball-like creature then separated from Huo Huo's tail, circled twice in the air, and floated between Huo Huo and Xing.

　Huo Huo was naturally the person sent by the Youju Prison to welcome the Star Train members. She had been standing outside Lin Yuan and inside the Youju Prison waiting for Xing and the others to arrive. Huo Huo, who was welcoming Xing, San Yueqi, and Dan Heng, was the Luo Fu Fox who she met during the Star Core Chaos.

　The other unidentified creature that called itself "Grandpa Tail" was actually Huo Huo's tail; more precisely, it was an energy parasite called Sui Yang.

　Their encounter dates back to when Huo Huo was young. At that time, Huo Huo met this dying Sui Yang. Kind-hearted Huo Huo put the tail master on her tail, but unexpectedly, on the way to Dan Ding Si, the tail master suddenly attacked and wanted to eat Huo Huo.

　The situation was critical, but fortunately, the Ten Kings arrived in time, subdued the agitated Tail Master, and sealed him inside Huo Huo's body. The reason for sealing Tail Master inside Huo Huo's body was that Tail Master had eaten Huo Huo's tail. Under such circumstances, sealing Sui Yang inside Huo Huo's body was the best option.

　"It's been a long time, Huo Huo." March 7th happily took two quick steps to Huo Huo's side and hugged her. Xing and Dan Heng also came over and asked curiously, "I didn't expect that the judge sent by the Ten Kings Division this time would be you."

　"It's not me, it's actually Sister Han Ya. But as the newly appointed judge of the Ten Kings Division, I'm not familiar with many things, so Sister Han Ya often asks me to do these miscellaneous tasks to familiarize myself with the operation and structure of the Ten Kings Division."

　As Huo Huo was speaking, Grandpa Tail interrupted her, "Hmph, isn't it because you're too weak, letting others boss you around? I guessed long ago that woman was definitely up to no good. It's just writing and drawing on paper, you could do that too, but she just wouldn't let you do it. Isn't that because she doesn't trust you?"

　Before Grandpa Tail could finish speaking, Huo Huo hurriedly hugged him and tried to cover his mouth, but Grandpa Tail had already floated past Huo Huo's arm and landed on her head. Now Huo Huo was so anxious that she could only say that although she called Han Ya the talkative judge, she still admired Han Ya, while jumping up to try to pull Grandpa Tail down.

　Xing, March 7th, and Danheng exchanged glances. They knew that this was Grandpa Tail training Huo Huo. While nimbly dodging Huo Huo's attempts to catch her, Grandpa Tail teased her, saying, "Little girl, you've got something wrong. Your mission isn't to play with me in the Prison."

　Huo Huo froze on the spot. Yes, her mission was to bring the people from the Starry Sky Train to the recording hall. Huo Huo took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and let the blush on her face fade. Then she straightened her clothes and paper doll, making sure she was in the best possible condition to face Xing and the others.

　"Well, this is urgent. I'll take you to the recording room from now on. Please note that although you may already know this, you must follow my orders on the way to the recording room, when giving your statements, and for all subsequent procedures. Do not act on your own. That's all for the things you need to know. Now, let's go."

　After saying all that in one breath, Huo Huo turned around and gave herself a little encouragement. It seemed that her decision to practice speaking in front of the mirror last night was the right one. She could now speak such a long passage smoothly. Xing and March 7th could guess that Huo Huo must have worked hard.

　Xing and March 7 followed Huo Huo quietly. Compared to the scenery outside, there wasn't much to admire in the Youqiu Prison. Although it was called Youqiu Prison, it had more than eighteen levels. Moreover, it was said that when Youqiu Prison was built, skilled craftsmen from the Chiming Clan were invited to use all the ingenuity of the Cave Heaven Technique to build the Youqiu Prison as it is today.

　As they walked across a stone bridge, Huo Huo's tail suddenly grew larger. "Ah!" The eerie green light expanded immediately, but it looked even more bizarre in the prison. Xing and San Yueqi, who were caught off guard, trembled in fright at the sight, while the tail lord laughed heartily.

　"Hahaha, you got scared so easily? You're from the Starry Sky Train crew, huh? Hahahaha."

　Huo Huo knew that Grandpa Tail meant no harm, but it was Huo Huo's work time, so she did not let Grandpa Tail float around in the Dark Prison. Moreover, the terrain inside the Dark Prison was treacherous. If he was not careful and accidentally fell in, he would either be frozen into the deep ice or burned to ashes by the scorching flames.

　"Speaking of which, why are we being interrogated in the Prison?" March 7th glanced down at the Prison before looking away.

　"In other parts of the Immortal Ship, the Six Emperors may have more authority, but in the Prison of the Netherworld, the judges of the Ten Kings' Office are supreme. When judges adjudicate cases, they use complex interrogation systems such as the Karma Mirror Platform. That thing will interpret the changes and signals of the examinee's body like a lens during each question and answer, leaving evidence."

　As soon as Danheng spoke, March 7th understood everything.

　"In other words, the Immortal Boat Alliance still has some disbelief about what happened in the Jianmu Calamity. If we let other generals or anyone else interrogate us, someone will definitely use that person's identity to attack us."

　The Ten Kings' Office oversees the prisons and is primarily responsible for matters such as life and death, sins, and demonic possessions in the realm of immortality. Its most distinctive feature is that it is not subject to the control of the Six Emperors, a fact that is beyond doubt within the Immortal Ship Alliance. Therefore, if there is any person or department that can achieve 100% impartiality, it is only the Ten Kings' Office.

　"The judgment made by the Ten Kings' Court is enough to convince the managers of the other immortal ships. At least they will not make wild guesses. This is probably why General Jingyuan insisted on having us come here."

　As they walked forward, Xing looked down curiously. Countless prison cells stretched out like a honeycomb, disappearing into the darkness beyond sight. Xing secretly wondered how many prisoners were held here—thousands? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?

　Perhaps only the administrators of the prison would know the answer.

　"We're here, we're here, this is the place." The recording hall wasn't far, and they arrived at the place quickly. Han Ya was already prepared, just waiting for Xing, San Yueqi, and Dan Heng to arrive at the recording hall before starting the questioning.

　"Gentlemen, the problems exposed in the previous documents were not many, but they were indeed quite fatal. The Karma Mirror Platform has been activated, and I will now ask them one by one."

　The crow straightened the documents in front of him and said loudly, "First of all, in the beginning, you came to the Luofu Immortal Ship under the guidance of the Star Core Hunters in an attempt to resolve the Star Core crisis. Anyone who has traveled in the Milky Way knows about the Star Core Hunters' bad reputation. You believed the Star Core Hunters' words based on only one side of the story. Could it be that someone is related to them?"

　"As for this issue, as we all know, the Star Train has been engaged in the research and containment of star cores. Regardless of whether what the star core hunter said is true or false, the Star Train has a responsibility to come and verify it. If it is false, it is perfectly acceptable for them to stay on the Luofu Immortal Ship for a few days. But if it is true, then the Star Train is happy to provide assistance. Moreover, all of this is true, isn't it?"

　The crow nodded, clearly agreeing with the answer, and then raised the next question. "In addition, the report states that the Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, is the mastermind behind the normal conspiracy. During your investigation, the Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, even disguised herself as a ferryman from the Heavenly Ship Bureau, and then vanished without a trace. Does such a woman actually exist?"

　"This matter is also very simple. The head of the Taibu Si, namely Fu Xuan, is acting with us, so she knows very well whether the ferryman inside really exists. Moreover, the ferryman was originally a member of the Minghuo Merchant Guild, so she is also registered with the Tianbo Si."

　Hearing Xing's explanation, Han Ya's expression did not change. He continued, "And the last question is whether you provided Dan Shu with assistance in entering the Ancient Sea Jianmu?"

　"Logically speaking, how could a mere head of the Dan Ding Division have such extraordinary connections? It would be one thing to collude with foreign enemies and obtain a star core, but Gu Hai is the territory of the Chi Ming Clan. How did she get in? Although you say that Dan Shu's close friend died in the Fang Hu war and that she did this out of hatred, it's like a child trying to move a stone bigger than himself. Where did she get the ability to bring the star core into the Lin Yuan Realm?"
