As Bai Yan's image gradually faded from her consciousness...

She took out the three-foot-long sword from her storage device, placed her trembling right hand on the hilt, and slowly pulled it out while taking deep breaths.

……

Just moments later, Tingyun snapped out of her daze, took off her sunglasses, and found her clothes soaked with sweat.

Bai Yan sat in the passenger seat of the Star Chariot and turned to look at her: "I adjusted the pain of death to ten percent of real death. Do you need it to be completely eliminated? Or is the memory you just experienced unacceptable to you, and you need me to erase it so you can give up the challenge?"

Tingyun took another deep breath and shook her head.

In that hellish scene, the Yunqi Army in history experienced absolute pain.

Her parents were also military personnel of the Tianbo Division, and they faced the same absolute pain and the one and only life on the battlefield.

As a descendant of the Tianbo Division's military equipment, although her daily work rarely involves combat, understanding and experiencing the hardships of frontline soldiers is her deepest respect for them.

She wouldn't run away from this necessary pain, but she also knew that if the pain level were increased, she wouldn't be able to bear it for more than a few times before she broke down.

Therefore, neither request was made to raise the death pain index nor to lower it.

A calm voice came from beside me again: "Also, I must remind you that in a real battle, you only have one life. It's still early, do you want to continue training?"

Overwhelmed by tension, Tingyun temporarily reverted to her usual speaking habits in this enclosed space: "This humble woman would like to... try again."

Bai Yan smiled faintly. He had witnessed the growth of countless lives, but not everyone had the courage of Ting Yun to face their fears, especially someone like her who was not skilled in martial arts and was an office worker.

He handed Tingyun a bottle of water: "Let's try again then."

Tingyun nodded, replenished her fluids, put her sunglasses back on, and woke up again in a very short time.

Put it on again... and wake up again...

Beads of sweat glistened on the white fox ears.

Chapter 110 Even if the marshal comes, he must be treated with utmost respect.

Tingyun woke up with a start each time, then put her sunglasses back on.

During this brief wait, the appetizers Bai Yan mentioned had already caused this ferryman from the Tianbo Bureau to experience dozens of deaths.

His body was pierced by the branches and leaves of the abundant monsters more than ten times, and on several occasions his head was even ripped off by the enemy.

This is indeed the fate of a clerical worker who has only been practicing swordsmanship for a few days when he enters a truly brutal battlefield.

Even so, Tingyun remained silent for a moment after waking up, then put her sunglasses back on.

The promise was important to her as the representative of the Tianbo Merchant Guild; the sacred artifact was equally important to the immortal ship; and the kindness she received, whether from the immortal ship that gave her birth or from the deity who returned her, was something she could never repay.

Many fox people value gratitude highly, and Tingyun was also taught this from a young age.

Now is the time to repay the kindness of the immortal ship that nurtured and protected us.

Tingyun woke up with a start after her head was removed again. After taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and put her sunglasses on with trembling hands once more.

But is death really just experiencing pain and having your heart stop beating?

A simple death has a limited impact on a person, and may even only numb them.

The main course that Bai Yan prepared for Ting Yun was still to come.

When Tingyun awoke from her conscious world again, her body had just been completely pierced by branches and leaves, including her forehead.

Bai Yan reminded her, "It's almost time, let's go to Taibusi. Can we still operate the Star Chariot?"

Tingyun's white fox ears were still trembling slightly. After regaining her senses, she nodded and said, "Mm."

The lingering effects of death lingered in Tingyun's mind.

Fortunately, this passenger-carrying chariot is equipped with the Jade Treasure Cruiser, so even if Tingyun is mentally exhausted, she doesn't have to worry about anything going wrong.

A moment later, the two arrived at the Temple.

After Fu Xuan, the head of the Taibu Si of Luofu Immortal Ship, captured Kafka with Xing and San Yueqi, he told the passengers of the Starry Sky Train to wait quietly.

The Grand Diviner was also thrown into chaos by the influence of the star core. Once she had tidied things up a bit, she would send a diviner to fetch them.

The Tabushi side was also affected by the star core, and was in complete chaos.

Bai Yan and Ting Yun arrived here before the others on March 7th, and without taking any complicated route, they appeared directly beside Tai Bu in a flash.

The girl was dressed in clothes that were clearly in the style of a fairy boat. She was not tall, but she had an extraordinary air about her.

Her long pink hair was styled into loops like butterflies, with double ponytails hanging down to her short shoulders, adding a touch of cuteness to her figure, which was somewhere between a child and a young girl.

The most striking feature was undoubtedly the purple crystal embedded in the center of her forehead, which was a divine eye that shone with a mysterious and profound light, seemingly containing the power to see through the truth of the world.

The young woman looked at Bai Yan and Qing Yun who appeared before her without surprise, and said calmly, "I have long heard of the general's praise. Even the marshal would show you the utmost respect. I had no idea what kind of person you were, and I pondered for a long time. Now that I have seen your true appearance, you are indeed extraordinary."

Because Jingyuan had instructed her to be extra careful with etiquette and show the utmost respect to this person, the girl did not use her usual self-reference, "this seat."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the young woman introduced herself: "Fu Xuan, one of the Six Emperors of Luofu, the Grand Diviner of the Grand Divination Office, greets you, sir."

Both Bai Yan and Ting Yun could tell that Jing Yuan had not yet revealed his identity to the diviner.

Bai Yan cut straight to the point: "Kafka is here, right? I'd like to see her and chat about some everyday things."

"Sir, you are quite frank in saying this. The general has stated beforehand that you have the authority to act expediently on the Immortal Ship."

Fu Xuan turned his body to the side to give way to his view. Not far away, two Cloud Cavalry soldiers were guarding Kafka.

Kafka, now a prisoner, no longer wears a coat; her well-proportioned and perfect figure is revealed beneath a tight-fitting shirt.

At the same time, her playful pink eyes met Bai Yan's gaze, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly: "How is our child?"

Fu Xuan was taken aback.

Tingyun and the Yun cavalry guarding Kafka were also taken aback.

All eyes turned to Bai Yan, expecting him to expose the other's tasteless lie.

Bai Yan slowly walked over and said, "Overall, it's very good, but he's picked up some bad habits."

There was no rebuttal, no denial; it was just a very ordinary answer, like chatting casually.

Rather than a distinguished guest and a prisoner, to most people it sounded more like two distant or divorced couples discussing their children's family matters.

However, Tingyun quickly realized that this so-called child was likely a life created through means other than reproduction, just like Xiaoya.

However, Yunqijun and Fu Xuan were unaware of this, and one of the Yunqijun was about to break down: "Um... Lord Taibu..."

Fu Xuan regained his composure and cleared his throat: "Ahem, since the general said he can act as he sees fit, I think we can trust his judgment."

When Fu Xuan said this, his brows were furrowed and his expression was complicated. The guest that Jing Yuan mentioned, whom even the marshal treated with utmost respect, seemed to be very close to their prisoners.

She didn't believe that a ruthless character like herself, who couldn't predict the future, would be swayed by the words of this Star Core Hunter.

There are two most likely scenarios that would give Jingyuan the right to grant the other party an expedited decision.

One possibility is that this person is truly worthy of respect and has goodwill towards the Immortal Ship.

Another type is where, regardless of whether the person is respectable or not, and regardless of their attitude towards the immortal vessel, if the other party wants to take advantage of the situation, the immortal vessel has no way to resist.

Judging from the strength with which he just stepped from the entrance of the Temple of the Apostles to here, this person is clearly more inclined towards the latter type.

Fu Xuan turned his gaze to the white-haired fox-man who had come with the guest: "You are Qingyun? The former member of the Tianbo Bureau that Yu Kong mentioned who got lost in the starry sea and was brought back by the Starry Sky Train?"

Unable to divine anything related to Bai Yan, she reached out and divined something related to the person in front of her to confirm that her divination skills were correct.

After calculating this, she frowned slightly: "The spark will be passed on, the lotus will never fade... What a strange prospect."

Chapter 111 Bai Yan: How about I calculate it?

While Fu Xuan and Ting Yun were chatting, Bai Yan and Kafka also started talking about family matters.

Bai Yan approached Kafka and asked, "How have you been lately? You haven't been causing trouble for my Silver Moon's education again, have you?"

The Yun cavalry on both sides quickly understood:

These two should have two children, one of whom was mentioned by the Star Core Hunter at the beginning, and that child is clearly on the man's side.

The child named Silver Moon mentioned by the man should be the child raised by the woman from the Star Core Hunter's side.

The two Cloud Cavalry soldiers exchanged a knowing glance, surprised that the Star Core Hunter had such gossip.

Although the focus remains on custody, the brain inevitably engages in thinking when receiving information.

Kafka responded to Bai Yan with a faint smile: "Silver Moon's biological mother is very protective of her."

This single sentence completely disrupted the gossip-like structure about the Star Core Hunters that the two Cloud Cavalry soldiers had just unconsciously pieced together. Their brains, receiving new information, involuntarily began to analyze it again:

This Silver Moon isn't their child; she has a biological mother.

Does using the term "biological mother" imply that Kafka is the child's adoptive mother?

In other words, this guest named Bai Yan was with Yin Yue's birth mother first, then they separated, and Bai Yan, along with Yin Yue, joined forces with this Star Core Hunter named Kafka.

But why would an ex and current partner live together, and seem to be getting along so well? It's too messy.

Kafka's smile faded, replaced by a hint of amusement: "Aren't we going to talk about our child? If you want to ask about Silvermoon, you can just contact that genius hacker, can't you?"

The two Cloud Cavalry soldiers received new information and involuntarily continued to analyze: They were jealous.

I don't know if she was divorced, but this woman was clearly smiling and welcoming to the guest from the beginning.

It's possible this guy dumped this girl. What a sinful man...

However, Star Core Hunter is one of the most wanted criminals of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, so the children must not have a good life with them either. It is probably because of their career issues that they want to give their children a stable life.

This man is probably the one who has had the hardest time, actually getting involved with this wanted criminal and even falling in love with him.

“Our child… I’m so sorry, because of my mistake, she developed a hobby of rummaging through trash cans not long after she left you.”

Bai Yan added, "Now that kid thinks every trash can is a treasure chest with a unique shape."

The new information was input into the minds of the two Cloud Cavalrymen and automatically analyzed:

See? What good does it do to associate with outlaws like the Star Core Hunters? They're even resorting to scavenging garbage for a living.

Wait a minute, isn't this the general's guest?
