Himeko clearly didn't intend to agree, nor did she want to have anything to do with the Star Core Hunters, but Kafka's next words changed her mind.
The reason is that one of the six giant ships of the Immortal Ship Alliance—the Immortal Ship "Luofu"—is very close to the train at this moment, and can be reached with just two jumps.
There was another reason that forced the train crew to go: not long ago, a star core had erupted on the Luofu Immortal Ship.
Kafka stated that the crisis had nothing to do with them, but the Celestial Ship pinned the blame on the Star Core Hunters. In order to clear their names, they approached the Starry Sky Train.
"None of your business? Who would believe that? What a coincidence! You showed up right after the Star Core erupted... Besides, you have no connection with us. What does it matter to us whether the Star Core Hunter is innocent or not?"
On March 7th, hands on hips and a slight frown, she spoke, showing no mercy when talking to a bad woman.
Currently, the only person on the train who is friendly to Kafka is Sora, and looking at March Seven next to him, he is also in a bit of a dilemma.
"I think we should seal the star core to help the Celestial Ship."
This was Qiong's idea, and from any perspective, it was an excellent answer. However, Xiao Sanyue pouted somewhat dissatisfied.
"No! I don't want to listen to her. Besides, the Alliance is so powerful, surely they can handle a star core? We're the Star Train Crew, not star core sealing specialists!"
On the other side, Kafka smiled slightly, looking completely confident, after all, the contamination of the star core could destroy this star orbit.
This will also cause considerable trouble for the Star Train.
"And I can tell you what the future holds. If you don't go to Luofu, the star core will eventually contaminate the entire immortal ship, and about half of the inhabitants on board will perish..."
"Yes, those brave and fearless pioneers, those selfless and benevolent anonymous travelers, surely they won't stand idly by."
After saying all that, Kafka left a coordinate and then left. Before leaving, she glanced at Qiong, just once, and then deactivated the projection.
There was really no other way now. The situation was so serious that we had to call Dan Heng over as well. In the end, we voted together and decided on the matter of going to the Immortal Ship.
The original plan to go to Pinocchio has now been postponed, but that's not important right now. The most urgent thing is to go to Xianzhou to check on the situation.
The jump to the Celestial Ship will take some time, but the candidates have been decided: Qiong, March 7th, and Welt.
That evening, Himeko specifically called Sora to her room, seemingly for some reason, which made Sora feel somewhat uneasy.
"Don't be nervous, this isn't a chance for you to try a new flavor of coffee."
Himeko couldn't help but smile softly, and only after hearing her words did Sora finally feel relieved.
"Did something you need me for, Himeko-nee?"
"Well, how do you feel seeing Kaffa again?"
"Huh?"
They're here. Although Sora had a premonition, having noticed Himeko's expression when she was staring at Kafka, she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Thank goodness, she doesn't seem to have paid much attention to me..."
"Is that so? Well, but she won't ignore you forever. After all, she's the one who put the star core inside you. Nobody knows what they're thinking."
"Yes, I understand."
Qiong nodded seriously. Seeing this, Himeko's slightly serious expression softened, revealing a gentle smile. At the same time, she reached out and touched...
His head.
"I'm not suggesting you be hostile towards her, but it's always good to be careful."
After saying this, Himeko suddenly picked up the teapot on the table next to her, poured a full cup of coffee into it, and then pushed it in front of Sora.
"Please use it."
"This... wasn't it said that we wouldn't be tasting the new coffee today?"
"Yes, so this isn't a new flavor; it's a style you've had before."
Looking at Himeko's smile, and that rare, girlish teasing in it, I could see...
Himeko seems a little unhappy, even if she expresses it this way. But since things have come to this, Sora should just drink it.
With that thought in mind, he reached for the coffee cup and looked at the dark brown liquid inside. Just the smell of it made his throat feel bitter.
"What, don't you want to drink?"
"No, of course I want to drink Himeko's coffee, but... I'd like to drink it a different way."
"Ok?"
Himeko was slightly puzzled by Sora's words, but she quickly understood what he meant, because Sora's gaze was fixed on her long, snow-white legs.
"You...you mean to..."
"Um, is that alright, Himeko-nee?"
"But……"
"Is it not allowed?"
"……All right."
Himeko ultimately couldn't refuse Sora's request, and then poured the warm coffee onto her lap, watching as he savored it intently.
She always felt that her way of educating her child was not quite right, but seeing how happily Qiong was eating, she could only acquiesce for the time being.
"Let's find another opportunity to correct his views later; things can't stay like this forever."
Himeko thought this to herself, but little did she know that one concession would only lead to things getting more and more outrageous in the future.
Meanwhile, Sora was seriously savoring Himeko's unique coffee and smooth, delicious ice cream, and suddenly couldn't resist taking a gentle bite on her soft, creamy skin.
"Ugh! Qiong, you can't do this..."
Himeko spoke in a slightly reproachful tone, and to everyone's surprise, a row of faint marks had already appeared on the inside of her jade-like thighs.
Then, Sora wanted to go even further and try the more intense flavors, but Himeko, noticing this, couldn't help but reach out to stop her.
"Wait, wait a minute, there's no coffee there!"
Chapter 160 The Fox Girl Tingyun, the Long-Awaited Time Stop
Himeko couldn't help but reach out and press her hands on Sora's head to stop him from moving. It seemed that this was the limit he had reached.
Seeing this, Qiong chose to stop, and Himeko breathed a sigh of relief, her heart pounding for a long time before it calmed down a little.
"Coffee with Himeko's flavor is definitely the best!"
"Hmm... Alright, now that you've finished your coffee, go back to your room. The upcoming exploration journey won't be easy, so get some rest. I also need to... um... clean up a bit."
Himeko seemed a little shy when she talked about cleaning, and Sora didn't stay long, but she still helped wash the coffee cups before leaving.
The next day arrived.
After a leap, the Star Train finally arrived at the celestial vessel "Luofu," a vast and beautiful 'planet' even larger than Yalilo-VI.
For the people of the Celestial Journey, this is their planet.
Himeko also sent a login request to the Immortal Ship at this time, but could only receive intermittent signals, as if there was some kind of malfunction.
It seems that the Fairy Ship has really encountered an accident. March 7th couldn't help but imagine the beginning of some horror movies, where a spaceship arrives at an empty spaceport.
Just then, the signal suddenly stabilized, the Jade Gate opened, and the Star Train came to a stop.
After making preparations, Qiong, March 7th, and Welt officially boarded the celestial ship.
It's worth mentioning that Xing actually followed along openly this time, though from Qiong's perspective, so the others couldn't see her.
"It's rare to see you come along on your own initiative. Aren't you going to go about your business?"
"What are you saying? I sometimes want to relax too! Hehe, don't talk about me now, you'll be busy later."
"what?"
Qiong didn't quite understand the meaning of "star". Upon arriving here, all she could see were densely packed shipping containers.
"A port this big, and not a soul in sight, it's really creepy..."
March 7th couldn't help but shiver, her expression clearly worried. Seeing this, Qiong chuckled and whispered in her ear.
"Yes, there was no one there, but someone opened the door for us..."
"Ugh! Stop talking! In horror movies, this person is definitely the mastermind."
March 7th, somewhat frightened, leaned close to Qiong, clinging tightly to his arm as if to say, "It's all your fault! Why did you scare me like that!"
The group then decided to investigate the situation, but along the way they encountered many wounded and fallen Cloud Cavalry soldiers, as well as many strange creatures that had been corrupted.
Fortunately, the soldiers were not fatally wounded, so the three of them were able to continue forward, but they encountered several people surrounded by monsters.
Two soldiers were fighting the monsters, but what caught their attention most was a well-dressed girl with fox ears and a fox tail, who was being protected behind them.
Of course, don't misunderstand. Qiong admits that the other person is indeed cute, but that alone is not enough to make him care so much. What really bothers him is the strange feeling about the other person.
"Hey you guys, come help me out!"
Upon noticing the arrival of the three, the fox-girl immediately asked for help. March 7th was the most proactive in this regard, immediately grabbing her bow and arrows and running over.
Seeing this, Qiong and Walter immediately joined the battle, and with their help, the monsters were quickly defeated.
"Heh heh, thanks for being my knight in shining armor~"
"Hey, next time let us say things like that! It sounds weird when you say it yourself!"
March 7th made a helpless remark, but the fox-girl didn't seem embarrassed at all. Instead, she introduced herself with a smile.
"This humble woman is Tingyun, the military governor of the Luofu Tianbo Merchant Guild. May I ask your honorable name, sir?"
As Tingyun spoke, her gaze involuntarily fell on Qiong, as if she had noticed something that piqued her interest.
In short, after introducing themselves to each other, Qiong and the others learned that "Luofu" had been completely sealed off.
Who was it that opened the door for them? And now it's really hard to explain. In any case, we need to find the important people on the Immortal Ship and explain the situation.
Before that, it was natural to go to a safe place. Although there were many unexpected events along the way, fortunately nothing went wrong and we finally arrived at the "Star Raft Sea" of the Immortal Ship.
The place was a bustling market scene. After Tingyun gave a brief introduction, they agreed to meet again later in front of the headquarters of the Tianbo Company.
This is probably their only free time right now. As for the rest, they can consider it later since they are upright and honest in their actions.
But Walter was still very thoughtful. Before they went shopping separately, he specifically instructed the two of them about the problems they might encounter when they met that Skywalker.
Then it was time to go shopping.
"Yay, we can go shopping now!"
March 7th excitedly raised her hands, seemingly having completely forgotten her earlier worries. Her optimistic personality left Qiong somewhat helpless.
Just then, my phone rang. The person who sent the message was Tingyun, who had just left.
He initially thought the other party wanted to find out some information, but unexpectedly, they were simply offering a friendly reminder, seemingly to repay the life-saving grace they had received before.
Moreover, he kept calling her "benefactor," which made Qiong feel a little embarrassed.
"What? Do you think she's a kind and grateful girl?"
Xing spoke in a slightly teasing tone into Qiong's ear, but what she said was clearly a bit off.
"Is there a problem? Although it feels a bit strange, she does seem like a really good girl."
"Even you find it strange, yet you still think she's a good girl? The real Tingyun is a good girl, but she might not be."
"What do you mean?"
Qiong was still somewhat confused, but Xing clapped his hands together, and with a loud sound, like the ticking of a clock, the surroundings immediately fell silent.
The surrounding cloud knights, the noisy crowd, the flying starships—everything seemed to stand still. It was the long-lost time-stop skill!
"I didn't even know there was such a move! I almost forgot about it!"
Qiong said this mainly because Xing has been away from him frequently lately, and he himself doesn't know how to use this ability, so of course he hasn't had the chance to use it.
"It's very simple, I'll teach you later, but for now, come with me~"
Xing then led Qiong to Tingyun, who was already waiting at the entrance of Sichen Palace, but she too remained still.
Its fluffy, adorable ears and its large, bushy tail make you want to reach out and touch them, but Qiong doesn't.
"So, what exactly is the problem?"
"Try dragging her into our destiny space."
"what?"
Although somewhat doubtful, Qiong did as Xing instructed, and then the next second...
