"Ms. Tingyun! Hurry up and hide in the container! You can hold out a little longer!"
"How can this be--what are you going to do?"
"The stasis field of this box is not closed, and the lightly equipped Mo Yin cannot break through the door. However, we need to continue to help the Tianbosi reinforcements locate, so we cannot take refuge with you - please listen to our instructions and hide well!"
"what!"
Yunqi, who was performing his duty and trying to throw the fox woman into the container, suddenly stopped at the waist. A large hole was cut in his armor by the single-molecule long halberd, and he was hit on the helmet with the handle of the halberd by the evil creature approaching from the other side, and he collapsed on the spot.
Yunqi, who was protecting the fox man's right hand and holding on with great effort, was also no match for the increasingly bloated "tree man". He was shot away and fell from the ferry into the depths of the cave.
They really chose a good place to hide... They managed to get through a dead end in the container area. It might also be that the monsters wandering nearby couldn't find a large group of Cloud Riders to fight, so they all gathered here and forced them into a dead end.
"...Oops, I accidentally attracted too many..."
The fox woman's tail stood up, and her charming voice sounded only slightly troubled, but the crisis on her face could not be alleviated by just a few complaints.
She tried to stay calm as much as possible and touched the code door of the container, but her identity was not recognized. The stasis field firmly blocked her from entering. She could only watch the sick cloud rider, who was as tall as a small building, rushing over. He might kill her with a gun in the next second.
"... This strong man, can you make money by being friendly... Although I am not a big shot, if I ask the Tianbosi for the ransom for the post of ferry envoy, it will be a large sum of money - at the very least, I have a fortune of tens of thousands of taels... No, can't I?"
Under the approaching shadow, she tried to remain calm but her voice finally trembled slightly:
"What went wrong??"
"boom--"
The sudden hum of the engine made her upright tail relax a little, but when she turned her head in surprise to look at the boundless space where Yunqi fell, she saw a white-haired woman grabbing the fingers of the giant golden man and trying to throw him back to the berth.
"……what?"
In that split second, not only was she stunned, but even Lao Yang and Alan were a little dazed.
They only saw Kong summoning Gustav, and he leaped towards the helpless end of the Star Cha Sea with his nozzle fully filled, trying to retrieve the thrown Cloud Rider, but he didn't know whether the engine had stalled or the thrust was insufficient, so he couldn't raise his body high - it was all thanks to the female hero who suddenly appeared at the ferry and pulled him up, so that he didn't fall into the depths of the cave with that buddy.
"There's no support at the bottom! What's going on? The nozzle is locked—"
"This is a no-fly zone - there is a gravity lock nearby, Dr. Kong, abandon the plane quickly -"
"Don't panic, jump up!"
A breeze blew by, as if a crane was circling overhead. Gustav's huge body instantly rose high, freed from the constraints of the gravity well or something else, as if he was thrown back to the platform by the white-haired woman.
The vicious one-eyed golden man fell to the ground with a bang, stepping on the evil spirit approaching the fox woman, and also causing cracks on the deck that was strong enough to withstand ten thousand tons of pressure.
"I and my disciple have just arrived, and you are in danger. You are really worrying."
"Thanks for the great help Liuyun."
The giant dissipated into emerald green light particles, and a strange person appeared among them, with a mixture of gold and silver braids dancing in the wind—
He was about to fall down while holding the injured Yunqi, but the two ladies on his left and right seemed not to want him to land so roughly. The black-haired lady held his hand and spread out her wing-like clothes to reduce the gravitational potential energy, while the white-haired lady wrapped a talisman around his arm - as if she saw that her master's technique was gentler, she followed suit and flipped her wrist, reaching her slender hands under his armpits to hold him up to prevent him from falling freely.
"It's convenient to be able to fly..."
"That mechanical device is quite ingenious. Did you make it yourself?"
"A good brother sent it to us - let us go first, this guy is about to die."
Compared to the fox woman who had just been threatened by the evil creature and almost trampled to death by the golden man, the man seemed to be in danger of his life again - he was coerced and nailed to a cross by two beautiful ladies with immortal looks, and landed on the ground with a bit of helplessness and trepidation.
“You put yourself in danger again to save others.” The older woman adjusted her glasses.
"I'm glad you're okay." The white-haired woman's chest swelled, but soon calmed down. The coldness on her face could not hide her excited mood.
The fox man who was looking at the exaggerated figure trembled with his mouth. The fairy who had just inhaled the fragrance of her lover... seemed to have grown two sizes larger.
Even though Kong was holding a wounded man, the master and apprentice had already started to use skin contact to confirm whether the "old man" in front of them was a real person from the friction of his fingertips and fingerprints.
And another old acquaintance, Paimon... was treated differently by Shen He and was directly covered under the "lid", and was whimpering and unable to speak.
"...Thank you all...for your help." But no matter how chaotic the situation was, being rescued was a fact: "My humble daughter Tingyun is here to show her respect."
"? Who are you?" The golden-haired man glanced at the girl who was shown as a green friendly unit on the small map in confusion, and he realized it a little bit late.
"..."
If Tingyun wasn't somewhat obsessive about maintaining her looks, she would have looked at the golden-haired Aminos with a puzzled look.
339. The girl next door has grown up, she is strong and powerful
It seemed thrilling, but when Kong was rescuing the people, he had already planned several ways to escape. The assistance of Liu Yun and Shen He was certainly the icing on the cake, but it was more of a "performance" by Kong to follow their wishes.
The True Lord Liuyunjiefeng still has the demeanor of an immortal.
The black-haired immortal's pupils flickered under the lenses of his glasses. He threw aside the harshness and particularity that he usually used to hide his true feelings. The hand that was pinching Kong's shoulder involuntarily touched his wrist after it landed on the ground, but in the end he didn't have the courage to hold his hand in public.
Shen He's red string was still bright red, forming a striking contrast with her plain hair and eyes, as if telling the story of her heart-breaking wait.
Even more straightforward than his master, after he laid Yunqi flat, "Evil Star" immediately held his face from both sides and, ignoring the dumbfounded gazes of the train crew and the fox people, fiercely pressed his lips against his.
Rather than a long kiss after a long separation, it was more like chewing - she was chewing on Sora's rationality and patience, constantly stirring it through her throat, almost sucking all the air out of his lungs.
"Puha, Shenhe..."
The murderous aura slowly subsided, and the icy gaze returned to being as deep as pond water. Looking at the man who had been tied up with a red rope by him but eventually left without saying goodbye, the white-haired immortal's indescribable blessing or curse took effect again, just because they were in physical contact again - crossing the space and time that ordinary people could not overcome.
"Shen He, woo woo, I missed you so much - and the Liuyun fungus!"
"You haven't changed, you quiet little fellow. Alas, it's only been a year or two, but it makes me feel like I've retired for a hundred years."
"Red rope, is it still there?"
But while being hugged by Paimon, Shen He still tightly pinched Kong's forearm, exerting force with his palm, causing him, who was in the original form, to feel pain.
"…It was destroyed when I traveled through time, but it doesn't matter, I can still tie it on."
Kong knew that Shen He couldn't disobey her in this state, and had to go along with her. Although her face didn't seem to be moving, her chest was still swelling, which meant that the muscles under the fat that could draw a bow of ten thousand stones were always tense, and there was a risk of "suddenly attacking and injuring people" at any time...
I have to wait until she calms down before she listens to me.
"it is good."
Although she was still upset that the man had broken away from the red rope and almost betrayed the contract, Shen He was reluctantly satisfied with his cooperative attitude and let go of his hands.
"Paimon, long time no see."
Seeing her gaze change from empty to earnest, Paimon hurriedly loosened his arms and didn't dare to get closer - the posture just now made it seem as if she was about to perform a Mongolian throw and be knocked to the ground.
Liu Yun originally had a lot to say to Kong, but seeing that his good disciple was acting like a young lady who was out to catch an adulterer, he could only turn around slightly and greet the train crew who were frightened by Shen He's shocking kiss, as if he couldn't bear to see the younger generations entangled in a mess, and he didn't realize that he was also missing Kong to death:
"You've also made a lot of like-minded friends here? I'm very pleased, but you still like to do things that make those who care about you worry—"
"After all, my work is always related to conflicts... I am relieved that you are here."
The master and the apprentice almost got knocked into the ground by Kong Xi right at the start, so they had to act cowardly:
“Old Yang, Sanyue, they are the Liyue Immortals I mentioned, they are my companions on this trip… uh… they are also mine…”
He pulled Shen He and Liu Yun straight to the front of the crew, seemingly completely ignoring Ting Yun who was still a little frightened.
"Mr. Yang, my husband is grateful for your care." Unexpectedly, Shen He stepped forward and nodded to Mr. Yang.
……ah?
Old Yang's eyes flickered several times, and when they finally fixed, he saw the captain's suicidal expression.
Understood in seconds.
But even a woman as vigorous as Lawrence would not regard herself as Kong's wife. This chivalrous woman... no, immortal, either had a natural character or was very confident in her own strength.
"Hello. I heard the captain mention you two. Please give me your guidance."
As soon as Old Yang opened his mouth, Liu Yun's brows jumped:
…Why does this person speak so much like the Emperor?
"Mr. Yang, I have seen the interesting mechanism of the train in the letter. In addition to helping with the craft, I also brought my disciple here to learn a thing or two. However, the land of Luofu Xianzhou does not seem to be very peaceful. I am afraid I have to look for another opportunity."
"It's not the same as asking for advice - Ms. Liuyun, you have seen what that evil creature looks like. This trip on the Immortal Ship will inevitably be troublesome. You two don't need to pay too much attention to the opinions of Ji Zi and me. Just follow the captain."
"So good."
What he feared most was the struggle for and frequent transfer of command, but it seemed that Lawrence did not try to save face and suffer when he explained the situation - Kong was indeed doing well here.
Immortals have their own pride, and Lao Yang had been given a heads-up by Kong in advance, so he was given enough face. At first glance, it seemed that both sides could get along well.
The Immortal Boat Ferry Envoy, who had never understood what was going on, had been left out in the cold. He finally failed to follow his etiquette of not interrupting others without permission, and smiled as he tried to get involved:
"I am the ferryman of the Tianbo Division. Thank you again, heroes. I heard that you have important matters to discuss with my superiors. I dare to ask you to take me to the outside of the star port and first take these injured brothers to a safe place. What do you think?"
This group of people seemed to have unknown origins, but when he saw Ruan Mei's distinctive features and caught a glimpse of Paimeng floating beside Kong, Tingyun's pupils suddenly straightened for a moment, and he couldn't ask them any questions, and he didn't even dare to test them in a roundabout way.
"Well, there are wounded, so don't rush to reminisce about the past. Liuyun, put talismans on them, and we'll talk while we walk."
"In this cave, you can't use the art of traveling a thousand miles a day?"
“There is a direct train connection from the anchor point, but the local train has not been opened yet, and it is not very convenient on the train.”
After listening to Kong's tactful explanation, Liu Yun immediately made hand gestures and used floating talismans to reduce the weight of all the unconscious Cloud Riders at the scene, making them float like balloons for easy towing.
Ruan Mei was a little surprised by this magical power. She had no idea what kind of energy had changed the gravity field around these people.
"Miss Tingyun, please lead the way. We plan to drop off the person at the military camp or the nearest hospital first, and then go to Tianbosi to contact your...superior to see if we can get in touch. By the way, Ruan Mei, Yu Yun, this is a special period. Can you prove your identities?"
"I reported my trip to Luofu, and it was just a slight system delay."
"Visitors from the friendly country of Qing will naturally not be troubled by Yunqi."
Tingyun did not dare to neglect his explanation: "And the heroes... may need to go through immigration formalities - I saw that this gentleman has a certificate of favor from 'Youyun Tianjun' on his chest, so he must be the famous Wuming Guest, right?"
The famous anonymous guest...
This contradictory language art is really frustrating.
The bearish expression fluctuated a little, and Tingyun quickly added:
"Luo Fu has paid much attention to the experience of the train. He knows that you have done a righteous deed against the Legion and the people of Fengrao, but the times are special, so please formally state your intentions... Even though you are well-known, Mr. Kong, you still need to inform the Tianbo Division. I am afraid that the previous application will be invalidated."
Tianbosi was well-informed and frequently visited the Chamber of Commerce. They somehow learned about the liberation of Yalilo and Kong's role in the incident.
This fox was very smooth - the beautiful corners of his eyes reminded Sora of the creator of a certain Deep Blue scam for some reason:
"? Did the news spread so quickly?"
"It's known to everyone that Esther drove you away for the sake of stocks."
