The girls walked side by side...

On the way to the [Red Kite] carriage, Li Sushang was quite curious about Xia Yuan.

After all, so much time had passed since her own era. She had traveled the world alone in this modern era, sword in hand, yet she had never found anyone who retained the same habits as her. Judging from their skin and hair color, the other person was clearly from China, just like her. Could it be that they were also...?

Out of curiosity about Xia Yuan's background, the girl asked:

"Young Master Xia, were you once... also touched by a cold metal lump, um... no, what was it called... what was it again?"

"Hibernation pod~"

"Oh, right, right, hey? Young Master Xia, you also know about hibernation pods? Could it be that you also entered a hibernation pod in the same era as me from the last century and only woke up recently?"

The girl seemed to be eagerly awaiting Xia Yuan's answer.

“Miss Su Chang, I did not awaken from a hibernation pod, but rather I am a visitor from outer space, descended from the sky…”

Xia Yuan still remembers when he first arrived here, he fell from the sky and landed on Dr. Tesla.

"Hehe, young master, you're quite the joker."

The girl's clear, melodious laughter, like that of a lark, echoed in Xia Yuan's ears.

But the girl clearly took it as just a little joke. Xia Yuan felt helpless about this; honestly, these days, nobody believes he really fell from the sky...

During this time, the two traveling together also encountered the Houmu Train, the Rabbit Train, and the Black Crimson Kite Train that accompanied the Herrscher of Knowledge...

Xia Yuan thoughtfully glanced into the Houmu carriage, hoping his superior, Bronya, wouldn't linger inside just because of the Houmu on board. Of course, the most likely scenario was that Bronya would dismantle the giant Houmu from the carriage.

"Miss Su Chang, wait...!"

Xia Yuan seemed to realize something and stopped in front of the Black Crimson Kite's carriage.

Su Chang also stopped and, holding her sword, cautiously surveyed her surroundings.

"What's wrong, young master? Could there be some robbers lurking nearby, plotting to steal your money and kill you?"

As the girl thought this, she slowly closed her eyebrows, sensing the hostility around her.

"Strange... even my own sword intent didn't give any warning. Why did the young master suddenly stop? Could it be that the hidden master's strength is far superior to mine, which is why I didn't notice anything?!"

It seems this time the odds are against us...

"Young master, run! Su Chang will cover your retreat. You don't need to hide, please show yourself!"

The girl seemed to have made up her mind.

"???"

Xia Yuan looked puzzled as he watched Su Chang's solemn expression as she shielded him behind her, seemingly wary of their surroundings.

"Miss [Extreme Evil], are there any other people around here besides Miss Su Chang and me?"

[Hey Xia, do you think I'm a radar? There are only the two of you within a ten-mile radius. Who else do you expect? You don't want to see that junior who can eat a ton of cookies, do you? This girl is just overthinking things.]

“Miss Su Chang, there are no enemies around. I was just thinking of something and almost got fooled by Xiao Shi.”

"What do you mean by this, young master? Do you perhaps know me as well?"

Li Sushang slowly lowered the sword sheath, but she was not careless.

"Indeed~ This is the first test that Xiaoshi presents to the passengers heading to Mount Taixu: find the [Red Kite] among the many carriages, but this Red Kite is not that Red Kite."

Since Miss Sushang knows Xiaoshi, she must have seen or heard of the black kite that accompanied Xiaoshi. By comparing the kites in the two carriages, Miss Sushang will understand that the kite Xiaoshi spoke of is not the one that accompanied her master, but the one beside her.

After hearing Xia Yuan's explanation, Li Sushang suddenly realized what was going on and respectfully clasped her hands in greeting:

"Young master has discerning eyes; I admire your wisdom."

"But Su Chang still has a question and would like to ask the young master for guidance."

"Miss Su Chang, please speak."

"If what you say is true, and the iron carriage we need to ride in is this one, then do your other friends know Xiaoshi's character as well as you do, and therefore not mistakenly get on the iron carriage?"

Miss Su Chang's words reminded Xia Yuan of what Bronya had said before.

[Stupid subordinates: If one person is missing, a month's salary will be deducted.]

"Wait, my salary!"

Xia Yuan quickly turned on the communication terminal on his wrist.

[A communication terminal of the same model has been detected nearby. Do you want to add it to your friend list?]

Their communication devices started flashing simultaneously.

"Hey, young master, do you also have a little gadget that the Valkyrie is destined to use to send messages by carrier pigeon?"

Xia Yuan inadvertently noticed that the leg ring on the outside of the other person's thigh was flashing blue light continuously, and it seemed that the other person was using the communication device as a leg decoration.

"Miss Su Chang, you..."

As Xia Yuan remained silent, the girl seemed a little embarrassed, touched a strand of brown hair beside her ear, and said:

“Young master, I’m sorry… I always thought that little prop that looks like an ornament was worn on the leg, which would be convenient for traveling around. I’ll take it off now.”

“Miss Su Chang, there’s no need for that. You are your true self right now.”

Those who live in the martial world never care about the opinions of others. They act chivalrously and are upright, never betraying their original intentions, and have a clear conscience and no regrets. This is the true nature of those who live in the martial world.

Xia Yuan's words suddenly resonated with the girl's emotions. She never expected that she would be fortunate enough to meet a chivalrous person who shared her interests on her way back to her hometown.

The girl slowly stopped removing her jewelry and bowed, saying:

"Young master's words coincide with Su Chang's original intention of traveling the world with a sword. It's just a pity that there is no fine wine to accompany us here, so we can't drink and sing together and have a good talk. It's a real shame."

"No problem, Xiao Shi should prepare fine wine and delicacies for us at Taixu Manor."

At this moment, inside Taixu Manor.

"Achoo! Who's talking about me, or is that old fogey thinking about me? Oh well, whatever, I'll just keep stocking up on New Year's goods, and the tokens I got from the ticket exchange... I haven't even spent all the money I made from that day's scam, cough cough..."

The Lawyer of Knowledge rubbed the tip of her nose and continued arranging the surroundings.

Clearly, the Herrscher of Knowledge was carelessly squandering the money she'd accidentally gotten an extra zero from Xia Yuan earlier...

“What you say is absolutely right, young master. I have another request. May I ask you to add me as a friend? My understanding of modern things is limited, so I would appreciate your guidance.”

"Of course, it is my honor to become friends with Miss Su Chang."

Xia Yuan found the girl's straightforwardness and frankness very endearing.

Therefore, it seems that meeting Su Chang and traveling together before even starting this trip to Mount Taixu is truly a pleasant surprise. Furthermore, he also discovered a little-known secret about destiny.

Chapter 137 Genius Haunted Rabbit Broni

At this moment~

Xia Yuan seemed to understand the specific purpose of the leg rings on the Valkyrie armor developed by Destiny. It seemed they weren't just ordinary decorations; they also possessed a strange communication function. (laughs~)

Hey, you surnamed Xia, you're laughing so happily, don't you want to share your joy with me?

【Extremely Evil】Vilvie hugged the pillow sewn in Xia Yuan's likeness, sat on the gear throne, and stared at Xia Yuan on the small TV in the center of the room. This was the girl's happy time in her consciousness space, the fun of passing the time.

"It's nothing important or worth caring about, Miss [Extremely Evil]~"

【Tch~ Stingy!】

The furious [Extremely Evil] Velvi punched the pillow in her arms, but at this moment Xia Yuan was waving his little hand on Li Sushang's communication terminal.

[A chivalrous young woman from the martial arts world] requests to add you as a friend. Do you agree?

[Agree] [Reject]

Xia Yuan clicked "Agree" without the slightest hesitation.

"That should do it!"

"【The working class who doesn't want to go to work】...Young master, is this the name you use in this little pigeon messenger device?"

Li Sushang looked at the virtual screen in front of her and asked curiously.

Xia Yuan, somewhat embarrassed, changed the subject after realizing he hadn't changed his name yet: "Ahem... Miss Su Chang, let's not talk about this for now. Time is of the essence, so I'll add you to the group chat first."

[Taixu Mountain Zero Yuan Purchase Campaign]

The working class, no longer persecuted by their boss, invited a group of people to join the chat, including a wandering swordswoman, a twin-helix turbocharger, Dr. Lobster, a lychee-faction scholar, Seele (not Hill!), call her Hill again and I'll kill you all!, a newspaper-selling artist, and Theresa is getting cuter and cuter....

The working class no longer persecuted by their bosses: Duck, Seele, Dr. Tesla, Ai-in, Little Greta, Rita. Please note that the "Red Kite" is not the carriage with the white little red kite, but the one with the black little red kite. Don't be fooled by Xiao Shi's tricks! @All Members

Bronya, who is bullied by her subordinates all day long: Stupid subordinate, Bronya will not be fooled by Xiaoshi's tricks. Moreover, Bronya found a very practical and handy weapon in the Houmu carriage.

【image】

"A suitable weapon?"

Xia Yuan curiously clicked on the photo Bronya had sent.

【Bone Crusher Rabbit 19c - Polar Night Hunter】

[Weapon Category: Shotgun]

Reload speed: 1 second

"Bunnies are so cute, why would you eat them? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by a bunny? Hmm?" The genius monster Bronny said.

"This is the exclusive weapon of the genius Hare Rabbit?!"

What surprised Xia Yuan was not the weapon itself, but when Bronya had swept through the Houmu carriages and found the weapon in one of them.

It's Seele, not Hill~: As expected of Bronya, right? The other me.

If you call Hill again, I'll kill you all! : Yes, yes, Bronya is amazing! Bronya is the best...

Black Hope replied perfunctorily in Hope's mind.

The little painter who sells newspapers: Waku Waku, looks exactly like the props in the treasure chest that Kosmo once kept and carried with him.

Lady Theresa is getting more and more adorable: This weapon seems perfect for you, Lady Bronya, to infiltrate behind the enemy and fire a shot at the back of a disobedient foe – perhaps an elegant way to assassinate.

A working-class woman no longer persecuted by her boss: Miss Rita, please don't say such terrifying things so seriously! This doesn't look like a weapon meant for assassination at all! And why is your contact name listed as Bishop Theresa, but your profile picture is of Little Gresh? Who exactly are you?!

Lady Theresa is getting cuter and cuter: Mr. Xia Yuan, please don't mind these small issues. Also, thank you for letting me know. I met little Gretsch on the way and she is heading towards the carriage you mentioned.

A chivalrous young woman wielding a sword: The forging craftsmanship of this jet crossbow looks in no way inferior to my own Xuanyuan Sword. Long time no see, Bronya, Seele, and Rita~

Li Sushang never expected that Xia Yuan's companions would be her old friends and colleagues from before she left Destiny, including Rita, who was also an S-class Valkyrie.

Duck, who is bullied by her subordinates all day long: Long time no see, Su Chang. It seems you're hanging out with my stupid subordinate.

"A stupid subordinate?!"

Li Sushang looked at Xia Yuan with some confusion.

Just then, Bronya, who was wiping her new weapon with a handkerchief in the carriage, suddenly received a private message from Xia Yuan.

Xia, who desperately wants to save face: Ahem... Hey, please, in front of Miss Su Chang, at least leave me a shred of dignity. Let me still have the face to stand before her, please! (^人^)

Unknown driver: ...Alright, for the sake of your stupid subordinate yesterday, I'll let it happen again~

Xia, who values ​​his reputation: Long live the ducks! <( ̄︶ ̄)>

However, Xia Yuan was too emotional to realize that Bronya had discovered that the "Mr. Houmu" from yesterday was actually him in disguise.

Unknown driver: Cough cough...

Of course, this comes at a price. And to be fair, you're still a rather endearing subordinate. Do you remember that Taixu Mountain ticket you had in your hand?

Xia, who wanted to save face: No problem, no problem... This ticket to Taixu Mountain is for you, Ya Ya.

Xia Yuan and Bronya reached a pleasant consensus in private.

[Taixu Mountain Zero Yuan Purchase Campaign]

Duck, who is bullied by her subordinates all day long: Ahem... My subordinates are quite cute. There's one more thing: don't change my group nickname. Please change my nickname back.

The worker, no longer persecuted by his boss: But... Duck, I actually feel this is fine, and I didn't move at all. When I pulled you to the communication device, it was already like this.

The duck, who is bullied by its subordinates all day long: Hmm?

The working class no longer suffering from their boss's persecution: I'll change right away! (Warning)

Little Grey is getting cuter and cuter: Mr. Xia Yuan, this is actually because the latest version of the communication terminal developed by Destiny can effectively detect the most suitable note for an individual. Of course, this note is changed in real time based on the creator's feedback on the other person's mood.

【With her exclusive weapon in hand, Bronya is invincible】: Is that so? You're a rather cute subordinate. It seems you really want to bully Bronya. Well then, let's settle this with a game after boarding the train to Mount Taixu. The loser must unconditionally obey the other's orders.

[The working class who has turned the tables and become masters of their own destiny]: Duck, you said it yourself, so you can't go back on your word. Be prepared to lose.
