"Thank you," Fu Xuan said softly, with a hint of weariness in his voice.

"It's alright, I won't lose out," Bai Qiong said lightly.

He said this in a voice, his tone carrying a hint of sincerity.

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

This despicable guy is acting innocent after getting the benefit, but seeing Bai Qiong Wuxie's eyes, Fu Xuan felt it wasn't appropriate to condemn him too much.

"Tsk, if it weren't for the dirt on it, I wouldn't have..."

Moonlight streamed through the window lattice, casting a soft, silvery glow over everything within the Qiong Guan Formation.

Fu Xuan blushed and turned slightly to the side, but still listened to his strong heartbeat and felt the warmth emanating from him, a strange feeling welling up in her heart.

"And what are you doing with your hands?"

Fu Xuan suddenly realized something and pointed at Bai Qiong's restless hand with shame and indignation.

"Um?"

Bai Qiong was taken aback.

He immediately looked down and saw that his hand was holding Fu Xuan's white silk-clad little foot.

The fortune teller's socks were made of semi-transparent white silk, which clearly showed his rounded toes, making them look even more delicate and cute.

“Very cute.”

Bai Qiong said with a smile, and couldn't help but gently pinch Fu Xuan's toes.

"you......!"

Fu Xuan blushed instantly and quickly withdrew his foot. "I'm reminding you, this is all over! Although I'm very grateful, but... don't think you can push your luck, you rascal!"

Bai Qiong laughed and said, "There's no way around it, Lord Taibu's feet just feel amazing. Besides, I've been playing with them for quite a while now, and you're only saying it now..."

Fu Xuan was both embarrassed and annoyed, yet helpless. She quickly coughed twice, trying to change the subject:

"Ahem... um... I just saw a sign of certain death in your future!"

Bai Qiong was taken aback, the smile on his face vanishing instantly, replaced by a solemn expression: "Ten deaths without a chance of survival? What does that mean?"

Fu Xuan took a deep breath and slowly said, "The divination indicates that a former swordsman who has fallen into demonic possession will trigger the calamity of the lunar tide. When the seventh moon is reflected in his pupils, the Luofu Immortal Ship will be reduced to a frosty death zone..."

Bai Qiong frowned, lost in thought: "Wait, the former Sword Master who fell into demonic possession... Moon... Frost? Is this referring to Mirror Stream?!"

Fu Xuan nodded: "Who else could it be but her?"

"But·

Bai Qiong was somewhat incredulous, "Mirror Flow isn't that powerful. The entire Luofu Immortal Ship was transformed into a frost-covered death zone; ordinary envoys couldn't do that..."

Fu Xuan shook his head and said, "People grow, and the future is not static. I can sense that the Jing Liu of the future does not harbor hostility towards me, and even asked me to find you... find you..."

She hesitated, a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Looking for me? What for?" Bai Qiong pressed. Fu Xuan turned his head away and said softly, "What else could it be? It's that thing! I got tainted by something, and she reminded me... that doing that kind of thing can purify it."

"In short, since I saw Jingliu in your future, it means Jingliu is a key figure in this disaster. Perhaps you need to find her to get the answer..."

Bai Qiong was even more puzzled: "No, it's still uncertain whether the Qiong Guan Formation is functioning properly. How can you be so sure, Lord Taibu, that the future you've seen is accurate?" "Hmph, ignorant!"

Fu Xuan said confidently, "I have been in charge of the Qiong Guan Formation for many years, and I am confident in its proper functioning. At least, at the moment I see the future, I guarantee that the Qiong Guan Formation will be without any problems."

Bai Qiong was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if the future is right, you know how terrifying Jing Liu's strength is, and her Demonic Yin Body can be activated at any time. If I rashly go to her and she attacks me, what should I do? She may not believe these bizarre stories."

In terms of combat strength, Bai Qiong certainly knew his own limitations. The gap between him and Jing Liu was like the difference between heaven and earth. Although he had the Fire Stick, which was effective against ice-attribute characters and women, he still needed to be able to hit Jing Liu. If he attacked rashly, he probably wouldn't even be able to get past the sword energy surrounding Jing Liu.

If they were to actually fight, Bai Qiong would be no match for Yan Qing in normal circumstances, but in his "Fire Stick" form, he could slightly outmaneuver Yan Qing.

But if he were to face Jingliu, who was far stronger than Yanqing, then he would be no match for him no matter what.

Fu Xuan looked at Bai Qiong with his brows furrowed, as if he could see through his thoughts.

"I know what you're worried about; Jingliu's strength is extraordinary. But don't worry, I'll help you when the time comes. This matter concerns the future of the Luofu Immortal Ship, so I must handle it with utmost care and cannot afford to be careless in the slightest."

After listening, Bai Qiong asked in confusion, "Jing Liu is still a wanted criminal on your Immortal Ship, and this matter is of great importance. Don't you plan to report this to General Jing Yuan and let him make the decision? After all... he's a general, and such a major matter..."

Fu Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, and then shook his head:

"As the Grand Diviner of Luofu, how could I not report such a far-reaching divination result? However..."

In that corner of the future, I saw countless shattered arrows of the Emperor's Bow and Fate.

This is too absurd. Jingliu is the general's former teacher; the general might not have a good plan. I'm worried...

She hesitated, as if she had something difficult to say. Bai Qiong looked at Fu Xuan, gently took his hand, and comforted him:

"The general is always resourceful; we should trust his judgment now. He might have a solution."

Fu Xuan felt a little more at ease as she felt the warmth emanating from Bai Qiong's hand. She nodded and said softly:

"Well... that's all we can do. I am indeed a bit inexperienced when it comes to such a tricky situation."

Suddenly, Fu Xuan seemed to remember something, his brows furrowed slightly, and he added:

"By the way, in that corner of the future, I also saw a new destiny mark, a mark that does not belong to any current God of Fate, God of Calamity, or Heavenly Ruler."

"It appeared on me and Jingliu, but what's even stranger is that in that future timeline, I didn't notice the addition of a Star God..."

"If this destiny mark doesn't belong to any star god, then how was it born?"

She looked up at Bai Qiong, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

Bai Qiong frowned as well. He pondered, "The birth of a Star God is not so easy; there are always many omens. Could you be... mistaken?"

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was clear.

Fu Xuan shook his head, his tone firm:

"I... I hope so. I hope... it's just my imagination."

She paused, seemingly unwilling to think about this elusive question any further.

Fu Xuan gently nudged Bai Qiong and said:

"Alright, get up now. How long are you going to lie here with me? Something big has happened, and we're in for a lot of work now. We need to get moving."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiong realized that she was still hugging Fu Xuan.

He quickly got up, picked up the hoodie that was draped over Fu Xuan, and put it back on himself.

He pointed to the Qiong Guan Formation and asked, "How's the Qiong Guan Formation now... is it usable?"

Fu Xuan slowly got up, put on his clothes, and tidied himself up a bit.

She walked to the edge of the Qiong Guan Formation, carefully examined its base, then nodded and said:

"Thanks to you, those impurities and substances affecting the star chart have clashed and largely canceled each other out. Although the star chart still has anomalies, it's usable now, though the results might sometimes be slightly off..."

After saying that, Fu Xuan sighed, his words revealing a sense of helplessness: "You were right when you met that diviner whose fate was unknown. This matter really depends on you. It seems that this person's skill in divination is even above mine."

"That diviner... he must be quite skilled."

Bai Qiong scratched his head awkwardly.

He knew that there was no diviner in reality, and that his coming to Fu Xuan was all guided by the system.

Bai Qiong glanced around and then said, "It's good that the matter is resolved. Well then... I'll take my leave now. Lord Taibu, please contact Yu Zhao if you need anything."

Fu Xuan looked at Bai Qiong, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

After several seconds of silence, she nodded slightly, blushed, turned her head away, and said, word by word.

"Then I'll excuse myself from seeing you off! You perverted lecher who likes to play with my feet!"

Bai Qiong couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this, but she didn't refute it.

He turned and walked down the steps, his steps light and his mood quite good.

As Bai Qiong passed by Qing Que's workstation, he glanced at it subconsciously.

There sat Qingque, her eyes vacant and her gaze blank, working mechanically and stiffly.

Her pen kept writing and calculating, but what she wrote was illogical and completely incomprehensible.

If I hand this over, I'll probably get a severe scolding from the Grand Diviner.

When Bai Qiong saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.

"Oh no, are the side effects of this fire poker really that bad? I just wanted to teach Qingque a lesson and make her behave a little, but I didn't expect... it's gone this far. She doesn't look like she's at 50% corruption level anymore."

He originally thought that the fire stick would only make people feel excited and ashamed, but he never expected that it would have such a serious impact on people's mental health.

Bai Qiong watched this dramatic scene unfold before her, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

At this moment, Qingque noticed Bai Qiong. Her previously dull eyes suddenly lit up, and even formed a heart shape. She stumbled over from her workstation and practically tumbled and crawled toward Bai Qiong.

Like Fu Xuan, Qing Que was petite. When she pounced, she crashed directly into Bai Qiong's arms.

"Bai Qiong! You...where are you going?" Qing Que hugged Bai Qiong tightly, her voice slightly excited and soft, "Can you take me with you? This work is so boring! When I was starting work, all I could think about was that..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but Bai Qiong knew what she meant.

The intense stimulation from the fire poker was clearly deeply imprinted in Qingque's mind.

Bai Qiong felt a little embarrassed. He gently patted Qing Que's head, trying to soothe her emotions, and said softly, "Qing Que, didn't you promise me that you would work overtime for Lord Taibu for seven days without pay? You can't go back on your word."

Upon hearing this, Qingque's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she still obediently nodded, released her grip on Bai, and said in a somewhat dejected voice, "Okay... fine."

Seeing Qingque's dejected look, Bai Qiong felt a pang of pity. He thought for a moment and added, "How about this, Qingque, next time we meet, besides that matter, we can play mahjong together. I promise you."

Qingque's eyes lit up instantly, and her face regained its excited expression: "It's a deal! No money, just... just the number of times we do 'that'!"

Bai Qiong's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "This little brat, why is her mind filled with these kinds of things now?"

Moreover, the outcome of this bet...

So, you're the one who suffers no matter what, right?

However, seeing Qingque's expectant eyes, Baiqiong nodded and agreed, "Okay, it's a deal."

"Great! Now I feel like I have something to look forward to at work."
