Star Railway, starting as Kiana

The description looks appealing, but the taste is terrible; it's clearly a product of the company's marketing. I guess it's a matter of personal taste, especially since it's compared to taro boba, which I quite like.

As for the fourth cup of star taro popping, Kiana guessed that it was prepared by Qingque for Fu Xuan.

If Fu Xuan catches you red-handed on your way back, you can use the Star Taro Pop to change the subject.

"Actually, I wasn't slacking off. I just brought you a cup of Taro Boba on the way after I finished investigating the work you assigned me, Lord Taibu, to help you relieve fatigue and replenish your sugar."

Kiana had already anticipated that Qingque would use such words to deal with Fu Xuan.

"By the way, we're heading back to the Tabushi. Durandal, would you like us to take you to the Tabushi's house?"

"No, I'm going to the Apostolic Palace with my sisters!"

This "sister" is so sweet, even sweeter than a taro bubble tea with seven parts sugar added.

Qingque's colleague standing next to her was practically beaming with admiration.

If it weren't for the fact that I still don't understand what relationship this little guy has with the Grand Diviner, I probably would have wanted to take little Kiana away and rub her against him.

As for Qingque, he only felt an ominous premonition.

"Looks like I won't be able to slack off today. The Grand Diviner is out busy, so she actually sent this little guy she adopted to keep an eye on me! How dare she!"

Upon arriving at Taliban, Kiana, with her adorable appearance and sweet words, won the hearts of all the Taliban's public officials in just one morning.

Kiana sat in Fu Xuan's seat, enjoying the snacks and drinks provided by the kind person, and spent a comfortable morning.

When Fu Xuan returned to the Taibu Si around noon, he found his subordinates working overtime without pay, even though the Taibu Si should have been deserted for lunch.

Even Qingque, who caused him the most headaches, was sitting at her workstation, dealing with her work.

"Hey, Durandal, what brings you here?"

Chapter 74: The Diviner's Beloved Darling (Bonus Chapter)

There's absolutely no need for Kiana herself to answer Fu Xuan's question.

Those who seemed to be bewitched volunteered to explain the morning's events to Fu Xuan.

Upon hearing that Kiana had returned with the Bluebird who had gone out to investigate and catch fish, and that she was then inside the Tabuan, helping everyone relieve their worries and stress by acting as a mascot and receiving food.

Fu Xuan felt that his decision to take the other party in was absolutely the right one.

If Qingque takes this away and raises another one who likes to slack off, it would be such a waste.

"Sister Fu Xuan, this is a star taro bubble tea that Sister Qing Que brought you. You must have had a hard morning's work. Have some milk tea to replenish your energy."

After seeing the star-shaped taro pops Kiana handed him, Fu Xuan's tired spirit, which had been working hard all morning, seemed to be soothed.

Even Qingque's resentment about going out to slack off as soon as she got to work today vanished.

The silky smooth milky aroma, combined with the sweet taro paste, enters the throat, and the large amount of sugar instantly generates a sufficient amount of dopamine.

This is also an indispensable source of joy for Fu Xuan every day.

"Alright, what are you all standing around for? Go have lunch."

Seeing that Fu Xuan had said so, the members of Taibusi exchanged glances briefly, then looked at Xiao Qiana with reluctance before leaving Taibusi to find a place to eat.

"Qingque!"

Qingque was just about to slip away with the crowd when she realized that even though she was being very careful, she was still discovered by the Grand Diviner.

I thought my slacking off had finally come to light and I was going to get scolded.

But when Qingque walked over, bracing herself for a scolding, she was surprised to find that the Grand Diviner was not angry at all.

Instead, they put something in their own hands.

"I am fair in my rewards and punishments. This is your reward for bringing me Star Taro Boba."

Besides having enough patrol arrows to buy ten times the amount of Star Taro Boba, what Qingque cared about even more was an ordinary-looking piece of paper.

To outsiders, how could a mere note possibly be as important as a patrol?

However, in Qingque's view, even if the number of patrolling arrows increased tenfold, it would not be as precious as the note in her hand.

Because this is the certificate that Qingque has been dreaming of, a certificate that allows her to slack off on orders and even get paid to do so.

A sick leave slip.

Although it was only an afternoon, for Qingque, a part-time worker who liked to slack off, this half-day leave was more precious than learning new things.

If the situation hadn't prevented it, she would have loved to cheer and even kowtow to Kiana.

As for why it's Kiana and not Fu Xuan...

If it weren't for Kiana's crucial contribution, and even her emphasis on mentioning her own name, the leave slip she submitted last week probably wouldn't have been approved until next year.

Ah!

There are no demons here.

That's an angel.

No, this is my God!

The little voice inside Qingque's heart couldn't help but cheer with joy.

I was also mentally planning this hard-won half-day paid break, wondering whether I should play mahjong all afternoon or all afternoon and all night.

"but..."

Upon hearing Fu Xuan say "but," Qing Que's heart skipped a beat.

Qingque felt as if she were on a roller coaster. Just moments ago, she was overjoyed, but now her heart was gripped tightly, leaving her only able to wait for Fu Xuan's next words.

"However, it's not like I'm letting you slack off completely. I have some things to do these next couple of days and might be home very late. I won't be in Tabusi during the day either, so I'll leave Durandal in your care."

"By the way, just put all expenses on your tab or send them to me."

"Is it alright, Qingque?"

"Understood!"

Qingque imitated the Cloud Cavalry's movements, saluted Fu Xuan, then grabbed Xiao Qiana beside her and quickly left Taibusi.

She was afraid that if she walked any slower, her diviner would assign her more tasks.

As for what the Grand Diviner will be busy with these days?

This has nothing to do with the bluebird.

"Although the old lady Taibu is not tall, her abilities are first-rate."

Instead of worrying about whether Fu Xuan will get into trouble, it's better to think about who to play cards with this afternoon.

But Kiana had guessed some of it.

Fu Xuan must have gone to hunt down Kafka. If the timing is correct, his fellow train crew members should be out on their way by now.

...

"A perfect hand!"

At the card table, Kiana had just finished arranging her hand when she realized that she had actually won.

Moreover, this is the third time already.

Kiana realized now that she had almost forgotten her own character settings.

The story begins with a flirtatious maniac, a yandere magnet, and a Nordic noblewoman; later, a white-haired dumpling, a paramecium, a ranger; and finally, a domineering moonlit sea fish cat.

Kiana herself is European.

It's not about bloodline, it's about luck.

Looking at the three people around her who were dumbfounded, Kiana suddenly felt that she might be able to help Qingque get rid of her card addiction.

But after Kiana took the lead and dominated five rounds, Qingque looked at the first card she drew in the first round, and she, who had become a complete loser, came back to life.

"Bar!"

"A winning hand on a kong! I finally won!"

Until the last round, Kiana was winning hands like crazy for almost 70% of the time, while Qingque had slightly better luck and skill, and also won quite a few hands.

Only the two card players who had been brought by Qingque were now leaning back in their chairs, their faces ashen.

Faintly, it seemed that some white mist was drifting out of their open mouths.

"Stop floating, go back!"

On the way home, Qingque held Kiana's little hand the whole time to prevent her from getting lost, and never let go.

Whether it was because he had a lot of fun slacking off in the afternoon, or because he had met the God of Gamblers who only appeared in books, Qingque stared at Kiana with shining eyes.

"Durandal, Durandal, is this your first time playing cards? How come you're so lucky!"

"It's the first time."

This was indeed the first time for Di Yuan Qiongyu.

"By the way, the Grand Diviner said she'll be going home very late tonight. Would you like to come to my house to rest, or should I take you home and keep you company?"

Although Qingque likes to slack off, it doesn't mean she's unreliable.

On the contrary, if only effectiveness is considered, even in the Taipusi, Qingque is top-notch.

The premise is that she can get rid of her bad habit of slacking off.

After careful consideration, Qingque ultimately decided against letting Kiana go home alone.

It's one thing to slack off, but the other is to let Lin Renqia go back by herself, and then she goes home to slack off by herself. Qingque can't do that.

"Come in and sit wherever you like. Help yourself to whatever you want to eat."

After Qingque finished speaking, she pounced on the sofa next to her and hugged her salted fish pillow.

Kiana had just taken off her little shoes and put on the small, salted fish slippers that Qingque had taken out when she discovered that Qingque had already fallen asleep.

Chapter 75 March 7th, put down the white silk in your hand and raise your hands!

Since Qingque didn't have to work in the afternoon, she changed into light clothes after having lunch with Kiana and going out.

Now, just by hugging a salted fish-shaped pillow and sprawling on the sofa, with his lazy and relaxed posture and light makeup, he actually attracted Kiana's attention.

Kiana slowed her pace and gently approached Qingque.

Just as Kiana was internally debating whether to play a prank, her phone beeped with a message notification.

Upon opening it, I found it was Silver Wolf again.

Aside from a barrage of complaints and blaming himself for deceiving her feelings, all he did was ask Kiana if she had been up to anything lately, so she could be mentally prepared.

Before Kiana could even respond, she discovered that a new contact had sent her a text message.

"Hey, is that Fu Xuan?"

Fu Xuan: I will be returning a little later tonight. There is no need to wait for me. I have already prepared the food. Please have Qing Que heat it up.

Remember to be careful and notify me immediately if anything happens.

To be fair, although they've only known each other for less than two days.

But Fu Xuan is genuinely good to Kiana.

...

Fortunately, Qingque wasn't actually asleep.

That might be true, but not long after, whether it was from hunger or some other reason, Qingque got up after sleeping for less than half an hour.

Upon hearing that Fu Xuan had prepared a meal for Kiana and that she only needed to help heat it up, Qingque suddenly pinched her arm.

It wasn't until the pain struck that Qingque realized she wasn't dreaming; it was all real.

"Oh no, has the Grand Diviner broken down? Or perhaps..."

Thinking of this, Qingque's gaze shifted to the side, to Kiana, who was watching TV.

Her impression of Kiana changed from innocent and adorable at the beginning to a slightly cunning one this morning.

And now, she is a lovely angel blessed by Lady Luck.

Then consider Fu Xuan's attitude towards Kiana.

"Oh no, have I stumbled upon a terrible secret?"
