From the Queen's Descends, Collapse Douluo

Chapter 294 Meeting in a Dream

At the edge of the Asdna star system, a crimson void shattered, and three figures stepped out.

The fallen general Lu Xueling, the herald of the end Xilin, and the envoy of nothingness Huangquan.

Xilin glanced at Huang Quan, then turned to Lu Xueling and asked, "The company gave us three invitations, plus the one she snatched, so what are you keeping it for?"

Lu Xueling's pupils flickered slightly, his consciousness observing everything at the Daydream Hotel across a galaxy scale measured in light-years: "To do a favor and be involved in the future of [Pioneer], this invitation can be of help."

"To be honest, I don't like any of the futures the Star Core Hunter showed me. I want this 'story' to unfold the way I envision it, in a way that will benefit me to the greatest extent possible..."

In addition, it is estimated that the black swan and that "beautiful lady" have also arrived at Pinocchio.

And that guy named Kagata...

Although Hua Quyu claimed that this was a fairly normal friend of his, with a decent reputation, Lu Xueling had no intention of ignoring it; he had to meet him at least once.

Huang Quan kept her eyes fixed on the center of the galaxy. Just then, a train jumped in, and her consciousness entered it as well.

"The golden dream is about to stir..."

The star of the event, Pinocchio.

"Ugh!"

Xing was startled awake and found a tear still clinging to the corner of her eye.

Startled, the train conductor, Pam, immediately asked, "Star Passenger? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?"

"No, it's nothing..." Xing answered softly, the scene from just now still lingering in her mind, "I just dreamt of a riddle-solving person saying strange things..."

"Ah...strange?" Pam lowered her head and pondered for a moment. "It sounds like you had a nightmare, Pam. You've only just arrived in the Asdna system and you've already encountered something like this... The memory matter here is extremely abundant. Anyone who comes into contact with a massive amount of memory matter for the first time will be affected to some extent...Looks like you have very poor resistance to memory matter..."

"Don't worry about it, dreams and reality are opposites! While you were sleeping, the train had already arrived in Pinocchio."

Xing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, calmed down a bit, and turned to look out the car window. They had arrived at the Grand Star, Pinocchio.

"Ah...we've finally arrived. The family's immigration procedures are so complicated! There were over a dozen checks along the way, and our luggage was searched several times!"

As soon as they arrived at the hotel entrance, Xiao Sanyue's complaints came through. Her pretty face was all scrunched up, and she looked at Xing beside her. "I'm worried they'll insist on taking out the star core inside you to take a look."

"Luckily not." The Trail Blazers scratched his head and chuckled.

The two beautiful girls skipped and hopped to the front desk to check in, but they seemed to encounter a little trouble.

"I'm sorry, but the name you mentioned is not in the system." A female receptionist shook her head with a troubled expression.

Navigator Himeko wasn't annoyed by this and patiently explained the situation: "But the information received by the Starry Sky Train clearly states that a room has been reserved for us. Please check again."

The waitress nodded and then checked the information saved at the front desk: "Starry Sky Train, four Platinum Rooms, Mr. Walter Yang, Ms. Himeko, Ms. March 7th, and... Mr. Danheng. Indeed, only the above four people have reservation information."

The Star Core Spirit's eyes darted around, and he suddenly spoke: "Yes, I am Mr. Dan Heng."

March 7th covered her face, with an expression that said, "I don't know her."

Uncle Yang lowered his head and thought for a moment before remembering that Xing hadn't boarded the train when they agreed to the "family" request. So he explained the situation to the waiter and transferred Danheng's room to Xing.

"No, I don't doubt this young lady's identity, it's just..."

Before the female attendant could continue speaking, a man dressed somewhat "fancy" walked out from the back of the train.

"But right now, it's the eve of the [Harmonious Music Ceremony], the most important moment of every era for Pinocchio, and the family has extended an invitation, so guests from all over the galaxy have packed this place to capacity." Sand Gold said as he walked, "Hotel security is even more strained, allowing no room for error. When something like this suddenly happens, it's really not up to this young lady to decide. The people on the Starry Sky Train are in a difficult position."

Walter and Himeko exchanged a glance, and it was Walter who spoke first: "We encountered some problems during check-in, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. May I ask who you are, sir?"

Sand Gold chuckled, gave a brief self-introduction, and then stated that he had been queuing behind the train crew for 10 minutes.

"Can't even wait ten minutes? What kind of teaching did your mentor (Jade) give you?"

Lu Xueling crossed his arms and reappeared behind Sha Jin with Xilin and Huang Quan.

He didn't try to conceal his hunting aura, and the appearance of this fallen general had already been exposed in the Interstellar Peace Company's files. So everyone present recognized him.

When Sand Gold saw him, a hint of apprehension flickered in his eyes, then his gaze lit up. "Oh? I didn't expect that a hunting general would also have the inclination to come to a dreamlike 'vacation'?"

"Hey, Uncle Yang, isn't this your acquaintance?" March 7th patted Walter on the back, staring at Lu Xueling with some excitement. "Is he here to help us?"

"What's it to you?" Sirin said coldly, glancing at Sand Gold with a straight face.

Instead of getting angry, Sha Jin smiled and looked at Lu Xueling: "Then, what instructions does the general have?"

Lu Xueling pulled a brand-new invitation from his pocket and handed it to Xing: "Just a heads up, this isn't free. But it'll at least be cheaper than the company's."

Sand Gold's lips twitched. He had just prepared a whole speech, but he swallowed it back down.

Wait a minute... why does the printed code on that invitation look so familiar?

Sand Gold's mind cleared instantly. He looked at Lu Xueling and asked, word by word, "Yalilo Six?!"

Lu Xueling smiled without saying a word, but looked at Walter, "Yang, you're doing sit-ups? Don't you even believe me?"

What else could Walter say? Compared to sand gold, Lu Xueling was indeed more worthy of being befriended. "Xing, take it."

"Wow, General, you're really rich! Do you even have an extra invitation?" Xing chuckled as she took the invitation and turned to check in.

"Don't ask so many questions." Lu Xueling said, glancing at Sha Jin, whose thoughts were in turmoil. "Yang, sit up, see you in my dreams."

"See you in my dreams, old friend." Walter smiled and waved.

"Hey, looks like I made the last train." It was another familiar voice.

A series of rustling footsteps approached from afar. This time, Hua Quyu took off his doctor's robe and twirled a jade flute in his hand, but his expression remained calm.

"Hmph." Lu Xueling snorted lightly, turning her head to meet his gaze. "Where is your... friend?"

"I'm already in my dreams."

Hua Quyu put away the jade flute, then glanced at the people on the Starry Sky Train. He noticed that Walter had been staring at him for a long time, so he raised an eyebrow. "This gentleman?"

“No… I’m sorry.” Walter withdrew his gaze, seemingly relieved. “This… Your Excellency, I hope we’ll meet again in a dream.”

"Hmm... See you in my dreams." Hua Quyu smiled and took out her own invitation to check in.

Only Sand Gold's mind was in a complete mess, as if he had drunk too much Sodium.

"It seems like we're running out of chips..."
