Star Railway, starting as Kiana

But Bai Lu held back.

If she were exposed, all her efforts to cooperate with Kiana would be for nothing, and she would no longer be able to secretly go out and play with Kiana.

Therefore, in order to avoid being exposed, she hid even closer to Kiana.

Because of their close proximity, Bai Lu smelled Kiana's unique scent, a warm and comforting fragrance reminiscent of the sun.

At the same time, a faint floral fragrance filled the nostrils of Bailu.

It seems to be the prototype of the white saffron Cecilia flower, while others say it is the prototype of the scent of lilies and cherry blossoms.

Chapter 456 Donkey Ears?

"Actually, my sister..."

Kiana paused at this point, as if she had something difficult to say.

Seeing Kiana's appearance, and then glancing at Bai Lu, who was hiding behind Kiana looking pitiful, she realized that Kiana was in this state.

March 7th and Yun Li's hearts suddenly skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Kiana seemed to sense what the two were thinking and began to recount her own "past."

"Actually, when my sister and I were young, we lived in a place called Yae Village. I always thought that my hometown was a village with simple and honest folks. It wasn't until I was 12 years old and took over the position of shrine maiden and became the shrine maiden of the village that I realized that everything was a lie."

"It turns out that the peace in the village has always been achieved through sacrifice."

“Every so often, the village would sacrifice a pure young girl to the mountain god in order to pray for favorable weather in the coming period. If there was unusual weather, the village would increase the number of sacrifices, and this has always been the case. All of this was organized by the village elders and my father, who was a priest.”

"As a priestess, my task is to pray to the gods and then, on the chosen day, wield the sword."

As she spoke, Kiana's voice grew increasingly choked with emotion, as if she were recounting a tragic world.

Taking advantage of Kiana's pause, Yunli and March 7 began to think about what choices Kiana had made back then, and why she had taken her sister and fled from there.

The two had already concluded that Kiana had taken Bailu away from their hometown, but they never considered that there was another possibility.

“The sky fell down when my sister turned 12.”

"Because the offering chosen for that sacrifice was not someone else, but my sister. My father, and the elders who had always loved my sister and me like their own children, were like evil spirits, longing for my sister's death."

"And I was forced to become the executioner who wielded the butcher's knife."

"And so, from that day on, my family consisted of only my sister and me, relying on each other for survival. It wasn't until hundreds of years later that I met some people and came to a large family called St. Freya Academy, where things began to change again, and I was no longer alone."

When Yun Li and March 7 first started listening, they felt that although the process was somewhat cruel, the ending was ultimately good.

But upon closer inspection, a problem was discovered.

She and Bailu were left to depend on each other. Did the villagers just let them leave like that? Why didn't the people before them leave? And who were the sacrifices after they left?

And what about hundreds of years later?

It's hard to believe that the two of them are actually just scattered stars; the planet, the immortal species, but this older sister's eight ears are... what is that? A donkey?

Moreover, why did the subject change from "we" to "I" when they finally talked about no longer being alone?

March 7th felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it. Looking at Bai Lu, who had been hiding behind Kiana and had never shown her face except at the very beginning, March 7th felt increasingly strange and uneasy.

Yun Li also noticed something was wrong and lifted Lao Tie up in front of her.

Yan Qing, who had seemed nonexistent from beginning to end, now raised his flying sword, wary of the increasingly eerie atmosphere surrounding him.

Because, judging from Yae Sakura's description, it sounds as if she has received a bountiful blessing.

St. Freya Academy is actually a special organization.

And her sister was the bountiful monster that was resurrected by forbidden magic after that.

While such things are uncommon in the history of Xianzhou, they are not entirely unprecedented.

The reason why people outside the Immortal Ship can trade pill formulas with alchemists and even divide the inhabitants of the Immortal Ship into Immortal Ship people and non-humans is because the non-humans, as a short-lived species, once traded with alchemists from the Pill Cauldron Bureau in order to achieve longevity, which led to the invasion of the Abundant People.

Although that information was blocked, and even that immortal ship became history, the two individuals were still able to find out about it.

The reason for the vigilance on March 7th is simply fear, because March 7th is not associated with the power of abundance, but rather with ghosts and monsters.

The reason Kiana changed the subject from "we" to "I" is because her sister had actually died long ago.

So, is the person behind her a human or a ghost?

Furthermore, after her brief initial appearance, Bai Lu remained hidden behind Kiana the entire time, showing no intention of meeting or speaking to anyone.

This made March 7 even more suspicious.

March 7th, who was already somewhat afraid of ghosts, was now even more terrified. She desperately hoped that this was just a nightmare.

"Waaah, don't scare me, Qibao! Where are you? Help me! I've seen a ghost!"

At this moment, Kiana suddenly changed her tone, smiled, and said to everyone, "Just kidding. Where are there any priestesses who believe in gods these days? The existence of the Star God has never been a secret, and if you can get good weather by making sacrifices, then what about the company's products that regulate the weather and climate? They're just a joke."

"this..."

"Then what you mean by several hundred years, could it be..."

"No, no, no, I'm not joking. Look at my ears."

"?"

The three looked puzzled, wondering why Kiana wanted them to see her ears.

Those pink ears, is there something special about them?

"Actually, I am a fox-person, but I haven't lived on the Immortal Ship since I was a child. As for my sister, she is the same, but her ears are too short, so she is a little self-conscious and always covers her head and tail with a cloak."

So that's how it is. Looking at it this way, the abnormalities of Bailu have completely disappeared.

After all, for the fox-people, the fur on their tails and ears is the mark they use to judge a person's beauty.

But looking at Kiana's "donkey ears," is she a fox-person? Why do fox-people have "donkey ears"?

"Well, it may be a bit rude, but among the fox people I know, no one has ears like these."

"You mean I have donkey ears, right?"

Yanqing felt a little embarrassed, not expecting Kiana to directly see through his thoughts.

But hiding this kind of thing is a waste of time. If you admit it openly, you can just apologize afterwards.

Yanqing nodded, and Yunli and Sanyueqi had the same expression.

"Actually, these are indeed fox ears. We're all from the Canidae family and the Fox genus, but my ears are more like those of a fennec fox than those of a common fox."

The fennec fox is now an endangered species and is suspected to be the prototype for the ears of the double-eared cherry blossom. Of course, there is no evidence; this is just a personal guess based on the shape of the ears.

Chapter 457 It's you again, ah ha

Finally, the people present, including Bai Lu, reluctantly accepted Kiana's explanation.

After confirming that Kiana was a fox-person, Yun Li and Yan Qing's attitudes softened instantly, and they no longer looked at Kiana with any wariness.

After all, anyone could be associated with abundance, but the fox people and the immortal boat people definitely wouldn't.

"Then, would you like to train with us?"

Thinking back to how they had acted after Kiana's joke, they felt somewhat embarrassed and wanted to find a way to remedy the situation so that the fox-woman girl, who had returned to the Immortal Ship, wouldn't develop any resentment towards it.

After thinking it over, since Kiana was looking for a place to train, there were a few empty wooden dummy dummies here. Originally, Yunli and Yanqing planned to use them themselves, but now it wouldn't hurt for Kiana to use them for the time being. It would also be a good opportunity for them to witness the girl's strength.

"Okay, thank you all."

"no, I'm fine."

On March 7th, seeing the wooden dummy not far from him, he picked up the pink longsword with one hand and swung it down.

Originally made of special materials and specially processed, the wooden dummy, which even Yun Li and Yan Qing could only leave a mark with a single strike, was instantly broken in two by Kiana's blade.

"hiss!"

Both Yan Qing and Yun Li were astonished by their beauty.

Unexpectedly, a fox-woman who had just returned from participating in the martial arts ceremony possessed such outstanding strength.

In their eyes, this decisive and swift attack alone was enough to easily earn them a good score in the martial arts ceremony.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

March 7th thought that Kiana was a newcomer who had come to hone her swordsmanship, just like herself, but she never expected that she would be a martial arts master.

This skill seems to surpass that of both of her masters?

Fortunately, Yun Li and Yan Qing couldn't hear San Yueqi's inner thoughts, otherwise the two of them would probably have shown San Yueqi what the dignity of a master is.

By the way, let me teach March 7th that the strength of a sword technique is not determined by the power of a single strike.

After all, for Yanqing and Yunli, even if they swung their swords directly, they could only make a cut when the swords landed on the wooden dummies.

However, if Yun Li and Yan Qing were to use their swordsmanship, they could also smash the wooden dummy in front of them or cut it in two.

However, Yun Li and Yan Qing seemed to sense a familiar feeling from each other's swordsmanship.

Where have I ever seen this swordsmanship that seems to have a mental impact?

"Sorry, I accidentally broke the wooden dummy."

"It's alright, it's just a consumable after all."

Just then, a figure appeared among them without anyone noticing.

A person draped in a black robe landed, and the face revealed beneath the robe was facing Kiana.

Meanwhile, at the same time, the other party deliberately spoke to Kiana, saying, "Finally found you, from Yae Village, the rebellious priestess who killed a god!"

Not only March 7 and the others, but even Kiana herself was stunned.

Could it be that in the world of the collapsing iron, there truly exists a Yae Sakura and a Yae Sakura, and that, like Yae Sakura, the other also killed a "god" and became a rebellious priestess?

However, she felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.

But every time Kiana tried to recall who the voice belonged to, she was interrupted by the other person's voice.

"I thought that after you went mad because of your sister's sacrifice and became a witch against the gods, you would be filled with self-blame and drift alone in the sea of ​​stars."

"I've been searching for you for so long, and I've finally found you!"

"Yae Sakura!"

Kiana:?

After hearing what the man in black robes said, everyone looked at Bai Lu behind Kiana.

I thought Kiana's words were just a joke, but now, listening to this man in black robes, it seems they weren't a joke at all, but rather the truth?

So who exactly is the younger sister standing behind her now?

On March 7th, he felt his back drenched in cold sweat again, and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Bailu.

Yun Li and Yan Qing became wary again, but their focus shifted to the black-robed woman whose face remained hidden.

"Who are you!"

"I?"

"You're talking about me?"

A pair of slender arms emerged from the black robe, grabbed a corner of it, and then tossed it into the air.

Her appearance was also revealed.

"It's you!"

Yanqing recognized the other person's identity instantly.

Yanqing had long ago memorized the other party's wanted notice.

"It was you, the one who took a mop and scattered filth in the Yunqi Army!"

Kiana's lips twitched when she saw the other person.

Who else could it be but Aha?

Seeing the old-fashioned train ticket stuck to her clothes, March 7th recognized her identity.

"Ah! It's you, the guy who pretended to be a ghost and scared people in Suiyuan back then, the one who claimed to be the former nameless guest!"

"Gentlemen, it's been a long time. But I'm not interested in playing with you right now. Could we take care of some personal matters first?"

Yanqing would certainly not agree with Ling, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that he was completely "unable to move."
