Kong didn't really read the data. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Long Nu who was playing with Ling and Nian. San Yue was also helping to make things happen. Cocolia was smiling like an aunt the whole time, holding snacks in her hands and asking them to slow down - it looked like two elders bringing three children to visit.
"Now let's go to the Scaled Abyss. The two of them should be able to separate the passage under the water, right?"
"Dan Heng said he could do it himself, and he taught Bai Lu to prevent accidents during the operation that might cause the water body to collapse."
[One more thing, little white mouse, this child may not be a purebred Vajra, or she may not be a pure-blooded descendant of this race.]
Sheshe was also quite envious of the wonders of Chiming's body, but when she secretly analyzed Bailu's body tissues, she found that there was something strange about her genes.
[I collected the fox man's spiral from her body, as well as a base fragment that continuously proliferated and quickly decomposed to maintain the body's continued activity.]
[…Foxman? ]
Sora was stunned.
[According to the Xianzhou records, there have been cases of fox people and Chiming marrying each other, but there was reproductive isolation between the two races——]
[That's right, from a biological point of view she is not a vidyadhara, but has some characteristics of an immortal dragonborn. This part of the DNA is not naturally inherited and has obvious traces of splicing. ]
[…Are you trying to say that she is actually a fusion warrior…] 7%. ⑶〖４“∏肆∝＊贰∮
[No, she is a man-made person. I infer that she was created by Luofu, specifically to be compatible with Long Zun's magic.]
Mebius is always so meticulous and ruthless when it comes to data and conclusions. If Bai Lu heard this, she would definitely have deep doubts.
[…You haven’t told anyone about this yet, right? ]
[Do you think I'm like you, the one who tells everything? I didn't tell Ruan Mei - but I think she's more skilled than me in this area, so she should have known it in advance, but she just didn't tell you the whole story.]
[That woman... But it doesn't matter. We have seen similar situations many times. As long as we don't tell Bai Lu...]
Kong's slightly complicated gaze fell on Dan Heng, who unconsciously revealed a relieved smile.
[…It’s probably part of his past life’s karma. No wonder Jing Yuan wanted him to take over Bai Lu’s teaching.]
"...Drinking the Moon."
While everyone was still guessing what the relationship between Dan Heng and Xiao Long Nu was, Jing Liu, who had been looking complicated ever since the reunited crew entered the yard, stepped forward and called out Dan Heng's past name.
"...Jingliu." Dan Heng had probably foreseen that he would meet his "old friend" here. He looked calm, with only a slight hint of uneasiness, but he was just waiting for the other party to curse him.
"It's been a long time since we last met. You've changed a lot."
Jingliu's knuckles turned white again and again, but in the end she closed her eyelids, not wanting to look directly at the face that reminded her of so many bad things in the past.
"Ying Xing has temporarily put his pursuit of you on hold, but he said that you will pay the price after this incident - that's all he said."
“That man…” Dan Heng’s expression froze, thinking of the nightmares he had day and night, which finally turned into a silent sigh.
"His condition has also improved a lot, thanks to the doctor."
Jingliu was ready to put on the blindfold to avoid looking at the face of that person who might cause her evil spirit to relapse. However, Kong took the first step and pressed down her hand, shaking his head at her.
"Try to defeat it. I will help you suppress it. Now is a good opportunity for you to gain resistance to painful memories. As long as you resist it, even if the evil spirit recurs in the future, this part of the memory will not deepen your frenzy."
"..." The white-haired swordsman nodded silently and put the black cloth back to his waist.
Dan Heng, who was ready to take Jing Liu's ridicule and scolding, immediately had rounded eyes.
What the hell?? You convinced this woman??
No, it looks like she has already won! It's only been a few days? It's impossible that she has been obsessed with you after the sword fight that day and took the initiative to talk to you about fate? ?
Dan Heng's surprise naturally did not escape Jing Liu's eyes, but she was too lazy to explain, or perhaps she explained everything through her actions.
"Just pretend I don't exist. I'll be on the rooftop keeping watch. If anyone comes to visit, I'll notify you immediately."
When she saw Kong, Jingliu would think of Bai Heng, and when she saw Dan Heng, she would think of Dan Feng. The memories of drinking and chatting happily with the two old friends under the moon kept hitting her, but because the curse of abundance was suppressing her tightly, she actually felt a kind of weakness and nostalgia that shouldn't have occurred at this time.
It couldn't be said that she jumped onto the eaves in an escapist manner. She found a place on the rooftop that Hina might like and sat down. She had little interest in the banquet that was about to begin.
[…Why would she come with us? ]
[Assigned by Jing Yuan to Zhong≠±QｕN:㈨÷⑷：≌八」￡贰≈★√'3『蕶物, we will be the guards——】
[It was assigned to you, right? ]
Dan Heng felt that there were two best decisions he had made in his life - the first was to board the train, and the second was to recognize Kong Dang as his brother. He had successfully resolved many bad debts of favor that could have ruined him forever:
[I never thought she could communicate with me so calmly.]
[Don't worry about her holding on to the past. We are on the same side now.]
【I hope so.】
[Don't worry about her for now - since you have decided to let go of your past karma, there is something I need to ask you to prevent any problems later.]
[I have nothing to hide. Just ask directly next time.]
[Okay. Is this child Bai Lu the "container" created by the previous Dragon Lord? ]
【container?】
Dan Heng was stunned by Kong's literary and euphemistic statement, and then shook his head in reality: [No, she was Dan Feng's mistake to make up for his regrets... It turned out like this in the end because he not only tried to revive his lover, but also tried to reproduce the power of immortality passed down to his clan in the flesh and blood of the evil creature - in order to try to allow the Chiming to reproduce. ]
[…Reproduction?]
...Let an almost immortal race regain the ability to increase its population? The ambition of the previous Dragon Lord was really big. Judging from the data analyzed by Sheshe, he was at least half successful - Bai Lu's body has functions that ordinary Vidyarajas do not have. She can transform and at the same time, she can probably... give birth.
[Then Dan Heng, will you still be affected by the person in your dream and inherit his regrets? ]
[…No, I have let it go. Now I am just trying to do my best to fulfill the knowledge that Danfeng left in the depths of my soul. Like the inheritance of Chiming—I am not him, but for the sake of this inheritance, I will clean up the mess he left behind.]
Dan Heng looked at Bai Lu's cute appearance as she held Ling's wine gourd and looked into the hole. The corners of his mouth that had been frozen by the mirror curled up again;
[It is impossible to make up for it completely. Just think of it as my way of repaying the "favor of teaching". If the hole cannot be filled, I will not force myself, let alone force you to accompany me.]
With such a pragmatic yet humane attitude, Dan Heng made Kong feel relieved: Lu
[Okay. I know how much I will tell Jing Yuan later, so let's leave it alone.] 6
As long as she didn't say it, Dan Feng's goal was destined to be hidden in history for a long time - Bai Lu would take on the responsibilities of the Dragon Lord, but if on this basis, she was also required to unravel the mystery of the magic method of dragon transformation buried in her, she would definitely live a very heavy life.
When she is older and realizes her abnormality, she can decide for herself whether to explore the possibility of regaining the ability to reproduce. Sora immediately presented this research data to the general, which might allow a large ethnic group with a stagnant population to return to the front line of troop production, but at the cost of sacrificing the happiness of a little girl who is very close to the train crew - whenever he encounters such a matter that cannot be achieved at the same time, Sora will be a little selfish.
Kong would help Xianzhou Zhiming make up for the lost opportunity to grow in other ways, which was also a small sacrifice for his own selfishness and investment in Bailu's future... His mentality was almost the same as Danheng's.
"Snake, keep the things and just hand over the necessary data."
"Well, if there is a chance, I hope to find some other female Vajra volunteers to do the experiment."
"I'll find a chance to discuss this with Jing Yuan. Let's eat first. Qing Que said that we are lucky enough to enjoy Tai Bu's usual meals tonight. I wonder what kind of luxurious food they are——"
But when he leaned towards the table and saw Ryuun slicing up the charcoal-grilled beef burger for Hina, a frown immediately appeared on Kong's forehead.
The so-called delicacy of the highest person in charge of Taipusi turned out to be a hamburger and taro milk tea.
How should I put it? My eating habits are a bit weird.
...And even though you eat these things every day, Fu Xuan, how come you still don't have much meat on your body? Isn't the consumption of your Dharma Eye too serious?
"Ever since I recommended these foods to Taibu, she has been enjoying them almost every two or three days. Sugar and fat are always the easiest to please the body and mind, especially Taibu's brain is easily tired."
Bailu had no idea that instigating the patient to eat junk food would affect his long-term health. She rushed over to Hina and started chewing a burger.
From the way she bit the meat pie with great skill and distributed the taste evenly, Kong could tell that she definitely indulged her appetite a lot on a daily basis. Fortunately, the dragon masters were relatively humane in this regard. It would be too wasteful if Bai Lu was still restricted during meals.
"Hey, Kagami-Ryu—are you really not going to have a bite?"
"No need - too much appetite will dull the sword."
Nonsense, your arms will be too weak due to hunger, and you will know you were wrong when you break your wrist in battle.
Kong had never treated himself harshly with the mentality of a monk. The action of eating so much made Jing Liu, who was wandering outside the train group, hiss. ←誀０wu中∩转＜ｑＵＮ：It's funny.
Oh, this Taotie looks a bit like those rich people, barely with a bit of the "ferocity" of the envoy.
But eating human flesh is not the same as eating synthetic food.
She rested her forearms on her knees, admiring the scene of Kong and Dan Heng chatting and laughing, and slowly her mind relaxed. After calming down, she began to reflect on why she had so strongly linked Kong and Bai Heng together -
Is it because they are all kind? Not necessarily. Kong is definitely not as kind as Bai Heng.
Is it because he smiles like a little fox? It is somewhat related, but not the main point.
"…Traveler."
Jing Liu muttered to himself, thinking of Bai Heng's identity that was misunderstood by the outside world - that little fox was feared by the world as a talented pilot and archer, and her sacrifice in the battle with that evil beast made the outside world admire her unique skills in flying battleships even more, and she was about to become a symbolic figure.
Only a few people...including myself and the other five Xiaos know that Bai Heng’s proudest identity is actually “traveler”.
She was a pioneering genius who was born under the protection of the Emperor's Bow - she believed in the ways of connection and communication, and was purely non-enemy of evil. That was why she was likable, lively and adventurous. With her as the core, she connected the friendship of the other four people and they traveled between the fairy boats, pioneering in her own way - her death was like the breaking of the silver track, and the remaining four people almost drowned in their own regrets, never interacting with each other until they died, and the connection between the fairy boats was not as close as in those years.
But now, Kong seems to have single-handedly repaired this broken silver track. Although it is difficult to mend a broken mirror, being able to make the cracks visible is also an enviable talent.
She saw Moyin's calmed-down blade, Jingyuan, who felt a little apologetic towards her but more of a hope that she could get rid of some of the blame, and Danheng, who was trying to make up for his mistakes. The misunderstandings between them were slowly resolved under his mediation, and everything was developing towards the best days of the past.
"I'm not thinking of you as a replacement for her, Doctor, but you really are like her in many ways, including being the central air conditioner."
...But Bai Heng is not as easily influenced by girls as you are——
After enjoying the pleasure of eating nothing, some people will naturally feel that the one who is "plump and white" and "glossy" will be more appetizing.
Shen He lifted up the taro paste Bobo, which had lost some of its coolness, and pressed it against Kong's face. He then forced the straw into his mouth, causing him to tremble all over.
"Does this drink really have the taste of Taibo?"
Then, the Shrimp-Headed Immortal put the tube that had been sucked empty back into her mouth without hesitation - for her, the thicker the exchanged saliva, the better.
"That's just a description... Shen He, everyone is here... Don't say weird things."
"My dear benefactors, I'm sorry for the long wait. I have purchased everything."
As if to add fuel to the fire of Shen He's rude behavior that didn't care about the mood, Ting Yun came running from outside the yard carrying large and small bags. Without even giving Qing Que, who opened the door, a chance to react, she immediately took out the decisive weapon that Shen He had entrusted her to buy and waved it in front of everyone.
"Shen Xia Nuqiu⊥〇¤#Si Ba≌‖死℃￡⑵》≌蕶⊙wu Zhong=ＱＵn:——Do you want to see if it fits first~?"
440. Illusion
As one of Kong's obvious competitors, Tingyun would reveal Shenhe's winning weapon in public, which is despicable.
Before, Tingyun was submissive and respectful to Shenhe, but now he took the initiative to get angry. Liuyun frowned, thinking that Jiedu had some considerations and took the initiative to join the battle. This was either to embarrass her good apprentice or to warn her not to go too far and try to monopolize the traveler during public time.
But Shen He herself did not have such an idea. She took the socks with a normal look, expressed her gratitude generously, and directly told Ting Yun that she could not do it anymore:
"Hey, don't open it here... at least wait until we get back to our room..."
