Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Aglaia continued:

"The divine oracle that brought salvation was murky and unclear. It urged us to challenge the gods, but it never revealed what the prophesied [tomorrow] would look like."

"At present, people are willing to believe in divine pronouncements, which is why they are united around the Golden Descendants."

"But one day, if people's beliefs waver... everything will collapse."

She looked at Tibo quietly.

"Therefore, we must be prepared."

"What does it matter if we are dressed in rags? Let us focus on weaving battle armor for the savior."

……

Inside the private bathhouse.

Danheng gripped the squeegee with both hands, spreading cement onto the red bricks and stacking them up one by one.

Inside the bathhouse, the sounds of construction work could be heard, including heavy humming and panting.

Danheng and Yanhuan only sat down to rest after all the red bricks had been covered with cement.

"Ugh... I'm exhausted." Yan Huan tossed aside the scraper and said disdainfully.

"Whose honored guest would need to apply putty themselves?"

"Where's Xia Die? You promised to connect with me on a deeper level, where are you?"

"I'm afraid they've already gone to rest," Dan Heng said expressionlessly.

"The cement will need some time to dry."

"Can your flames speed up this process?"

"I'm afraid I'll burn all the bricks," Yan Huan said, somewhat troubled.

"How about this, I have some gasoline here, let's use a regular fire to heat it up and dry out the moisture in the cement."

"This... there's still a lot of furniture in the bathhouse, won't it burn?" Danheng hesitated.

“Using my fire will only make things worse,” Yan Huan said, shrugging.

"Danheng, we'll probably be staying here for a long time. The deck chairs have been removed, the bricks have been laid, and we're just one last step away."

"Once the moisture is dried out, we can take a long nap."

"Don't you want to sleep in a big bed?"

"..."

Dan Heng sighed.

"Take it out, I'll put it away..."

ten minutes later.

A raging fire broke out on the east side of the Marble Palace.

The intensity of the fire drew the attention of all the waiters.

"?"

The waiters who came to put out the fire were stunned.

"No, the Cloud Stone Palace is full of water, so how did the fire start?"

"Look at that black liquid flowing out of the bathhouse! It must be Zagres's prank, quickly summon the priest!"

In the firelight, all that could be seen was a figure frantically shaking another person on the ground.

"What the hell do you mean, you just fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow! Why don't you get up and use a water spray?!"

Chapter 1192 Let's Deepen Our Friendship First

"Mimi~"

"Mimi~~"

In the darkness, Yan Huan seemed to hear that strange voice again.

"Mimi..."

He slowly opened his eyes, only to feel the surroundings growing colder.

"Milk? I don't have that... Wait, I do. No... I don't."

While splashing water on Yan Huan with a bucket, Bai E said urgently:

"Are you more awake now? If you don't get up soon, your hair will be burned off!"

"what?"

Yan Huan suddenly woke up and sat up abruptly. The first thing she did was touch her hair.

"Just kidding, your hair can't be burned."

"..."

Yan Huan looked up at Bai E.

"What happened? How did I end up here?"

Bai E tossed the bucket aside and said helplessly:

"According to firefighters, you were trying to wake Mr. Danheng when you suddenly yawned and then fell asleep with him."

"It's hard to imagine how exhausted you all are."

"However... could you first explain how you managed to cause a fire in the Marble Palace, which is filled with water?"

"emmmm..."

Yan Huan looked around, trying to find Dan Heng.

"Mr. Danheng has already gone out to help put out the fire."

Bai Er reminded him:

"Your liquid fuel leaked out of the private bathroom and has had a significant impact."

"May I ask... what did you originally intend to use this fuel for?"

Bai E was very puzzled.

"Are they researching the repair of train carriages?"

“No, we’re just making a fire,” Yan Huan replied.

Bai E: “…”

Yan Huan: "I didn't intend to pour that much, but when Dan Heng was carrying the bucket, he suddenly slipped on the oil and fell, causing the oil bucket to fall to the ground..."

"And then...emmmmmm...you know."

……

Shortly after.

When Danheng returned after putting out the fire, he looked even more haggard.

"You're back."

Yan Huan then lit a bonfire in the bathing palace, but this time it was fueled by firewood.

Thick black smoke rose from the campfire, circled the iron pot, flew towards the ceiling, and spread out...

"..."

"What are you doing?"

"Cook some hot food and eat it before you go to sleep."

Yan Huan grabbed two tree branches and used them as long chopsticks, stirring the contents of the iron pot:

"Someone just gave me a bag of Earth Beast meat. It's not cooked yet, but I think it tastes alright."

"Since you had firewood, why did you give me that bucket of oil before?" Dan Heng asked, puzzled.

That bucket of oil was as big as a water vat; it would take a lot of strength just to carry it.

"Oh, this." Yan Huan waved the two branches in her hand:

“It wasn’t firewood before, but it became so after it was burned bare.”

“I asked Bai Er outside if I could have this tree, and he just let me take it.”

"Oh right, come check on our big bed, is the cement all dried yet?"

"Let me see……"

Danheng walked to the large bed made of bricks and cement, looked it over repeatedly, and finally frowned.

"It's cracked."

"It's probably because the temperature is too high; not only the cement, but even some of the bricks are starting to crack."

"???"

"what?!"

Yan Huan suddenly stood up, quickly went to the cement bed, and exclaimed in surprise:

"What are we going to do now? After all this commotion, the bed isn't even ready yet, and all our work has been for nothing!"

"How about... we just lie down for a bit?"

"Let me try."

Dan Heng carefully stepped onto it.

'Crack--'

A faint cracking sound came from the cement bed.
