From the Queen's Descends, Collapse Douluo

Chapter 264 Rescuing the Little Fox, the Train Heads to Luofu
"Darling☆ Where did this thing come from?" Sirin asked, looking at the communication tarot cards in her hand, enunciating each word clearly.

Lu Xueling's heart skipped a beat. Wait, aren't all Memes? Where did this smell come from?!
Seeing Xilin's increasingly dangerous gaze, Lu Xueling quickly explained, "Xilin, don't misunderstand... I asked one of the Memory Receivers for this."

“The Memory Maker?” Sirin frowned. “Then what is this thing…”

"Well, to put it simply, it's for making phone calls."

After a long silence, Sirin gave a soft hum and returned the tarot cards to him: "Fine, I believe you."

"Thank you, my wife!" Lu Xueling was overjoyed and hugged Xilin, giving her a big kiss.

Xilin's pretty face flushed slightly, "Hmph... I knew you wouldn't dare..."

“Then we…” Lu Xueling put his arm around Xilin again, preparing to lead her back to the bedroom.

Didi didi dou——

The Herrscher's Communications rang out at an inopportune moment, interrupting the two's intimate moment.

Lu Xueling clicked her tongue and answered the call anyway.

"Little Shi, what's up?"

"Ah... my god, the route records of the Luofu Chamber of Commerce that you asked me to check have been found."

Lu Xueling perked up considerably. "Send me the nearest route from the Minghuo Merchant Guild."

"Yes."

The data transmission happened in an instant. Lu Xueling scanned ten lines at a glance and quickly locked onto the five cosmic coordinates.

"Come on, Sirin, you'll have to come with me this time."

"So urgent?" Xilin asked in confusion. It was only to find a merchant guild. Was it really necessary to send General Yunjue and his wife along?
Lu Xueling nodded and explained, "To ensure everything goes smoothly. Because we are likely to be dealing with several well-known and dangerous figures in the universe on this trip."

"What is the purpose?"

"Go and rescue a little fox."

……

The remains of the Starship caravan have been burned to ashes, but these relics have not been buried and continue to drift in space.

A woman in a blue-green cheongsam landed near this patch of space debris in a futuristic spaceship. She wore a plum blossom hairpin, had a beautiful face, a tall figure, and striking white legs. But her beautiful eyes, like the boundless deep sea, were cold and noble, wandering among the broken wreckage.

At one moment, the woman's eyes flickered slightly, and then she pressed a certain device. Immediately, dark green light was released from the bottom of the spaceship, drawing out a "thing" whose entire body was wrapped in golden flames from these embers.

If anyone else were here, they would be absolutely astonished.

Because there was absolutely no fluctuation on the spaceship's detectors, but the woman was able to lock onto the presence of a life simply by looking at it with her naked eye, or rather by sensing it.

"Wait, Miss Genius."

A spatial rift opened, and Lu Xueling and Xilin stepped out. After looking around and confirming that the most troublesome enemy was far away, they reduced their imposing aura.

The woman in the cheongsam glanced at them, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "You?"

"The Sun and Moon Immortal Ship, the fallen General," Lu Xueling said calmly, arms crossed, "and my General's wife."

Xilin filed her nails and casually flicked the air. "Ruan Mei, right? You can't take this fox with you."

Ruan Mei narrowed her eyes slightly. "Why?"

Lu Xueling held up two fingers and said, "First, she is a citizen of the Immortal Boat Alliance. Second, I can save her, and perhaps even more effectively than you can."

"..." Ruan Mei was silent for a moment, then replied, "I have already accepted someone's request."

Lu Xueling's expression turned serious: "Genius, take my advice. That guy... or rather, anyone with that face is no good. The people of the Immortal Ship should be rescued by our Immortal Ship."

A rare glint of surprise appeared in Ruan Mei's eyes. "How do you know who commissioned me?" "Don't ask me that." Lu Xueling waved his hand, issuing an ultimatum: "Enough with the idle talk. If this drags on any longer, she'll really be dying. Ruan Mei, today either I take her away, or I'll give you a price."

“…Alright, you can take her away.” After weighing the pros and cons, Ruan Mei released the dying fox and handed it over to Lu Xueling.

"Then, General Fallen, my condition is: you must assist my research on life. I am very interested in your mysterious methods that can cure Moon Madness."

Lu Xueling was not surprised and readily agreed.

His five elite troops will soon be assembled!

Star Dome Train.

"Ahem! Ladies and gentlemen! The jump route meeting is now officially open!" Pam announced the start of the meeting once everyone had arrived.

"First of all, Pam would like to thank all the unknown passengers for successfully solving the problem at this station so that the train can continue to run on the star track!"

"Next, I, the train conductor, will announce the name of the next station..."

Puff puff puff——

Pam was interrupted by a crackling sound of electricity before she could finish speaking.

A virtual projection of a beautiful woman holding an umbrella suddenly appeared.

"Hello everyone on the Star Train. I'm Kafka."

In that instant, Pam instinctively hid behind her, Dan Heng immediately drew his weapon, Walter silently gripped his cane, Himeko glanced away in disgust, and Hoshi and Mitsuki looked completely bewildered.

"Ah... good timing~ Everyone's here." Kafka ignored the hostility in front of her and slowly walked to the middle of the crowd.

"No need for boring self-introductions, Star Core Hunter!" Himeko's tone was unfriendly, with a hint of anger.

Kaffa wasn't annoyed by being interrupted; instead, she moved closer to Himeko and greeted her.

"Himeko, right?" She snapped her fingers at Himeko.

Kaffa then walked past Himeko, went to the table, and tapped on the surface.

“I’m sorry to interrupt your gathering, but once I’ve explained my request, I believe you’ll understand my intrusion.”

She turned her head. "I need to ask you to change your destination... Do you know Luofu?"

When Kafka said this, she gave Danheng a deep look, and the latter shuddered.

“We know about the Immortal Ship Alliance’s six giant ships, the Immortal Ship [Luofu].” Walter glanced at Dan Heng and pushed up his glasses.

"Hmm~ But what you don't know is that Luofu is very close to you now, requiring only two jumps."

And… 45 system hours ago, a star core exploded there. What an undeserved disaster… don’t you think?” Kafka sighed after saying this.

“Star Core Hunters, what are you up to? Once you’re targeted by the patrol, you’ll no longer be hunters, but prey.” Walter was somewhat surprised, but still warned him.

"Just say what you have to say, Kafka!" Himeko said, hands on her hips.

Kafka sighed again: "Sigh... It's simple. This star core has nothing to do with us, but the blame has been pinned on us by the Celestial Ship..."

She waved her hand, and the projection of a muscular, dark-haired man appeared out of thin air beside her.

“My companion, Aren, has been captured. I need to rescue him and clear my name.”

The moment the blade was projected, Dan Heng's eyes widened and his hands trembled slightly.

"There are five people...and three costs..."

　New original characters created by the author will appear later, but not many—three in total: two cosmic-level and one caveman.
