"Master, please spare your disciple! Su Chang isn't even married yet... After the memorial service for Grandmaster Chi Yuan at Mount Taixu, Su Chang will also go to pay her respects to you all. Please, Master, Mother, and Father, spare Su Chang for now, okay?"
Li Sushang walked at the front of the carriage and muttered to herself in the air around her.
But a hint of shyness crept into the girl's words.
But the appearance of these three close relatives.
Without a doubt, it was all due to the girl's fluctuating emotions that caused her to overthink.
As Li Sushang closed her eyes and silently recited the mantra of the [Tai Xu Sword Technique] several times in her mind, the illusions of the three closest relatives surrounding her gradually dissipated as her state of mind stabilized.
"Hmm... the hallucination has finally disappeared. Let's get on our way as soon as possible, young master. Bronya and the two doctors are waiting for you to start this tin carriage."
But without the illusions to accompany me~
The girl slowed her pace as she looked at the dark carriage ahead.
"Miss Su Chang, what happened?"
Seeing that the other party had stopped, Xia Yuan led the red rope to Li Sushang and said softly.
"It's too dark in the carriage ahead. If Su Chang had an oil lamp with her..."
The girl murmured to herself.
"Indeed, as Miss Su Chang said, the carriage ahead is too dark. I wonder if the [patrol machines] that Bronya encountered are lying in ambush ahead of us. It would be better if it were brighter."
The girl only came back to her senses when Xia Yuan's voice echoed in her ears.
Chapter 143 Pulling... but it can't be pulled out.
"Young...Young Master, when did you come to Su Chang's side?!"
Influenced by the illusions of her three closest relatives, the shy girl is now unable to even look Xia Yuan in the eye.
"Mother and Master are not mentally prepared for what they say about carrying on the family line and continuing the Li family's ancestral worship. Besides, marriage is a major event for children and should not be taken lightly. Su Chang... Su Chang also needs to make some preparations."
"Just a short while ago, if Miss Su Chang is feeling frightened, perhaps I could..."
Before Xia Yuan could finish speaking, Li Sushang interrupted him.
“Young master, Su Chang is not afraid! Su Chang has been wandering the martial world for so many years, upholding justice and experiencing all kinds of storms. This is nothing but a mere iron carriage. Su Chang will show you.”
Done.
Li Sushang then held the red rope in her hand, leading Xia Yuan forward.
only......
When the girl travels around the world, she never goes out at night in dark alleys or places where ghosts are said to roam.
No one could fathom the girl's thoughts at that moment.
Xia Yuan was no exception, as was the Herrscher of Corruption who was secretly observing the two from behind. Although the Herrscher of Corruption did not understand the girl's heart, it understood Xia Yuan's needs at this moment.
"If only the front of the carriage could be lit up..."
[Trying to understand....]
[Starting up the train's power control system....]
Dengdengdeng-
Before Xia Yuan could finish saying that he hoped the carriages would be brighter, the lights on the roofs of the train carriages ahead began to illuminate each one, lighting up the road ahead for Xia Yuan and Li Sushang.
Are the lights in the carriage voice-activated?
Although Xia Yuan had some doubts, being able to see the situation in the carriages ahead was undoubtedly good news.
But Li Sushang didn't think so.
The sudden illumination of the train carriage terrified the girl even more than the dimly lit carriage had been.
"Hmm...it would have been better if it weren't bright at all...this makes Su Chang even more frightened than before. Could it be that it wasn't the young master who was playing tricks on Su Chang before, but...someone else?!"
The sudden slamming of the train doors, the presence of someone behind her, and the sudden illumination of the lights... all these things were undoubtedly pushing Li Sushang toward the answer she least wanted.
Evil spirits are causing trouble in this tin carriage.
Eager to prove to Xia Yuan that she wouldn't be afraid, Li Sushang didn't notice the green, fluffy thing swaying back and forth under her feet, and her foot slipped.
But the girl was as light as a swallow...
Just as his body was about to hit the ground, he performed a forward somersault to instantly adjust his posture.
But this caused trouble for Xia Yuan behind him. Xia Yuan, who had a red rope tied to his hand, leaned forward instinctively due to inertia until his head rested on a fluffy tail.
"Are train aisles this luxurious now? Even the middle aisle is carpeted..."
"No, Mr. Xia Yuan, my guest from paradise, you are resting your head on my tail, not on the carpet of the carriage."
I heard a familiar voice faintly in my ear.
Xia Yuan lay on his side and adjusted himself into a comfortable position, looking in the direction from which the sound came.
Little Klein was somehow stuck between two rows of seats in the carriage, and the other person's voice came from deep inside the seats. Only his large, slightly green tail was swaying outside the seats.
"Little Klein, how did you get stuck here?!"
Xia Yuan reluctantly left Klein's tail.
"That's a long story..."
"Little Klein, you can talk about that later. I'll help you get out of there first."
Xia Yuan slowly stood up, grabbed Klein's tail with both hands, and prepared to pull Klein out from under the seat like pulling a radish.
"Young...Young Master, are you alright?!"
Li Sushang realized that she had just been holding a red rope, the other end of which was in Xia Yuan's hand. The tremor behind her could have caused him to fall to the ground. She couldn't help but scold herself for her carelessness.
"Su Chang, Su Chang, how could you neglect the young master's safety just because you're afraid of ghosts? If Mother finds out, I'm afraid she'll... she'll..."
The girl, overwhelmed with self-blame, quickly turned around to look.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yuan behind him also fell into talking to himself.
"Young master...who are you talking to?! Could it be this green-tailed monster that lives in the tin carriage..."
Seeing the tailed monster swinging back and forth in Xia Yuan's hand, a hint of panic appeared on the girl's face.
"I'm sorry, I'm not some tailed monster living in a tin carriage."
My name is Klein, and I'm an armed doll developed by Dr. Möbius... My current identity is roughly that of the fairy Ellie's distant cousin, a resident of the Golden Garden, and Dr. Möbius's ever-present assistant at the Biological Research Laboratory.
Clyne, trapped under the train seat, recalled the identity Xia Yuan had temporarily fabricated.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Klein replied to the other party.
"Miss Su Chang... could you please come and help me? I don't think I can rescue little Klein from inside by myself."
Upon hearing that the other party was not a tailed monster but an armed puppet, Li Sushang breathed a sigh of relief, came behind Xia Yuan, and put her arms around Xia Yuan's waist.
But the girl seemed to have forgotten the long-standing Chinese tradition of men and women not touching each other.
The touch from behind caused Xia Yuan's body temperature to rise rapidly.
He just asked Su Chang to come and lend a hand...
But since things had come to this, the only option was to rescue little Klein as quickly as possible.
"Three, two, one, Miss Su Chang, push harder...!"
But little Klein was nowhere to be seen under the seat.
"Young master... are you done yet?"
Li Sushang, who was standing close behind Xia Yuan, felt something strange coming from her clothes. The girl realized that her behavior was inappropriate and asked Xia Yuan shyly.
"Why, why is it so hard to pull out..."
However, due to their own ulterior motives, neither Xia Yuan nor Li Sushang dared to exert too much force.
"Mr. Xia Yuan, if you continue pulling on it like this, there's probably a 90% chance my tail will break off..."
"And what about the remaining 10%, little Klein?"
Xia Yuan asked with a hint of curiosity.
"The remaining 10% is probably due to the tail falling off... accompanied by heavy bleeding. However, please don't worry too much if that happens. Just find some tape to wrap it up as soon as possible."
Chapter 144 is, of course, about Miss Kuroki!
Xia Yuan quickly put down Klein's tail and said:
"Little Klein, please don't be so serious about explaining these strange facts. This is your tail, not a tail extension. Once it's pulled off, there's no way you can stick it back on with tape!"
Xia Yuan still seemed uneasy.
They even thoughtfully placed it behind the seat to prevent Little Klein's tail from falling off. Just then, the communication terminal on my wrist started flashing, indicating that communication had been restored.
You have 999+ unread messages. Please check your inbox.
When Xia Yuan touched it, Dr. Tesla's cry for help echoed throughout the entire carriage, deafeningly loud.
[Xia Yuan, are you done yet?]
[Hurry up and start the train for the genius female scientist, Xia Yuan!]
[Hurry up and don't keep the genius young scientist waiting!]
【Ah—how much longer do we have to wait? Bronya and I can't hold on much longer!】
【Hey...Xia Yuan, reply to my message quickly!】
[Waaaaah... I'm still so young, I have so many experiments to do, I don't want to be buried with this messy hair.]
[As long as we get the train running quickly, I'll make whatever gadgets you want me to develop to counter Ai Yin, Xia Yuan. Is that alright now? So please, start the train quickly!]
【SOS! Help!】
The moment communication was restored, countless unreceived messages flooded into Xia Yuan like a tidal wave.
But the message was sent by only one person: Dr. Tesla.
at this time.
Xia Yuan had only two things on his mind.
Firstly... is Dr. Tesla really still young?
Secondly...the gadgets used to fight Dr. Einstein were actually developed by Dr. Tesla himself.
But judging from the frequency with which the other party sends messages without interruption....
Bronya and the two doctors must be in a predicament and deadlock, and judging from the last message in Dr. Tesla's communications, nearly ten minutes have passed.
It seems I need to hurry up and start the train with Miss Sushang.
But what should little Klein do now that he's somehow stuck under the seat and can't get out?
“It seems you have more important things to do, sir. I’m fine on my own, so please don’t worry about me. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with staying under the seat.”
Little Klein, who was sitting under the seat, also heard the doctor's roar.
Considering the urgency of the situation, the rational Klein wagged her tail and spoke to Xia Yuan.
"Then I'll trouble you, little Klein. Just hold on a little longer. After Miss Sushang and I start the train and meet up with Bronya and the others, we'll come to rescue you as soon as possible. Sushang, let's go."
Xia Yuan and Li Sushang continued toward the train's driver's cab.
The carriage fell silent again, with only snowflakes drifting outside the windows. But this silence didn't last long, as very faint footsteps could be heard from the aisle.
"Hmm? Mr. Xia Yuan and Ms. Su Chang have already gone far away... Could there be someone hiding in the carriage behind them?"
But Klein is thinking more about...
After the train starts moving, she will be surrounded by Mr. Xia Yuan and a group of people.
Suddenly, Klein felt two slightly sharp objects stepping on his tail.
The Herrscher of Corruption was curiously examining the large green tail beneath its feet. Just moments ago, it had developed an emotion called "help" after observing Xia Yuan's behavior.
[Trying to help the other person...]
Klein felt a sudden lightness on his body. The carriage seat that had been pressing down on him and preventing him from moving seemed to have quietly moved to the side, just enough for Klein to escape.
"Hmm? It seems like we can get out now..."
