Starry Sky Railway: Start with some fireworks and have some fun

After saying that, Qinglan flapped her wings and flew directly onto Xing's shoulder, which made Xing, who wanted to ask Kafka, pause for a moment.

What are you doing on my shoulder?

However, Qinglan did not respond. She just blinked in confusion and then gently rubbed her cheek with her little head, looking very cute.

"It seems you're quite popular with small animals. This little bird is really pretty."

Kafka had a slight smile on her lips, seemingly unaware of her status as a prisoner, while Qinglan looked Kafka up and down.

It must be said that Kafka is even more charming without her makeup. Qinglan had never observed Kafka up close before; he knew everything about the Star Core Hunter from the Interstellar Peace Corporation's wanted posters.

Would someone with a wanted list worth over 10 billion yuan actually show such a gentle expression when facing a girl named Xing?

"You...are you alright?"

"Are you worried about me? Don't worry, the Immortal Ship won't mistreat its prisoners."

"Kafka, what... what is your purpose? Why did you lure us into the Celestial Ship this time?"

Kafka smiled slightly, "To move towards a better future."

"Please speak human language."

"Oh, you're such a naughty child!"

Kafka really wanted to reach out and touch the child's head, but unfortunately, her hands were already tied up. She then said...

"In order to help the Celestial Ship resolve this Star Core chaos, and so that you can receive the Celestial Ship's assistance in your future journey when you fight against the Star God of Destruction! For this, we will spare no effort to achieve that ideal future!"

After learning Kafka's reason, not only Xing but also Qinglan were somewhat surprised. It was rumored that Star Core Hunters were slaves to fate. So everything they did was for the purpose of fighting against the God of Destruction?

In some ways, these guys are even crazier than him!

Suddenly, a violent tremor made everyone lose their footing. Upon seeing this, Qinglan immediately flew back to Huahuo's side.

Fireworks almost lost her footing, her gaze involuntarily turning towards the direction of the tremor, her eyes filled with surprise.

"What a huge tree... Qinglan, is this the Abundant Jianmu you spoke of?"

"So it really was the power of the star core that made it regrow? Hahahaha, what a joyous feast! Everyone in the Medicine King's Secret Teachings, you'd better step up your game! At least make sure my plan succeeds!"

"Oh no, Kaffa!"

Xing's voice instantly attracted everyone's attention. Kafka's hands were now unbound, and standing beside her was a man holding a broken ancient sword, his gaze sharp and his aura chilling.

"It's Blade? Did the Star Core Hunters send two people this time?"

"By the way, Qinglan, is the sword wound on Xueyi's body...?"

"Danger, the broken ancient sword, it's most likely him. But it's time for us to leave now. The Bountiful Jianmu has absorbed the power of the star core, so now it's my turn to work."

"What do you need me to do?"

"If you like, you can travel with the train crew as Qingque for a while and have some fun, but don't get caught, or it will be a real hassle to get you out."

After hearing this, Hanabi grabbed Qinglan on the head and tapped his little head. "I'm going to see the feast of pleasure you've put on. I won't get caught. Also, are you insulting my intelligence? My dear—good brother~ brother~."

Hearing that affected, coquettish voice, Qinglan trembled slightly. "Don't say things like that, it's creepy."

After saying that, Qinglan flapped its wings and began to fly towards the direction of the abundant Jianmu tree, while Huahu shook her head helplessly and ran to the side of the train crew with a face full of excitement.

At this moment, they all stared intently at the enormous tree trunk that had grown out of nowhere, their eyes filled with indescribable horror.

"This tree is huge! It's probably as big as the Star Train!"

"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! Even immortal beings never witness such a spectacle in their entire lives! I am so incredibly lucky!"

The fox-girl named Tingyun showed a sigh, and in her eyes, besides expectation, there was even a hint of... greed.

Fireworks was somewhat surprised. Qinglan had already done her homework on this before she came. The ancestor of the Immortal Boat was a medicine seeker who obtained the Jianmu tree from the pharmacist and thus gained immortality.

The price of immortality is to fall into a demonic state after death and become a hideous monster. Afterwards, the Emperor Bow Master shot a divine arrow at Jianmu, destroying it.

From that time on, the Immortal Ship began a relentless war with the Abundant Evil Creatures, and strictly forbade anyone from seeking the secret to immortality on the Immortal Ship.

But looking at Tingyun's expression, it seemed that she was very interested in this immortality. How interesting! The Immortal Ship does not allow its people to seek immortality, but its people are looking forward to the resurrection of the Abundant Jianmu!

Seeing this, Huahu couldn't help but pat Tingyun on the shoulder. "Miss Tingyun, you seem quite interested in the Abundant Jianmu! What, do you also want to achieve immortality?"

Upon seeing this, Tingyun immediately covered Huahuo's mouth, "Miss Qingque, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! I was just marveling at the wonder of the abundant Jianmu tree growing back, I have no desire to gain immortality."

"Come on, immortality is a desire pursued by every living being. You can't fool me. Just say you want it! What's the point of living if you don't even have any desires?"

“Miss Qingque, please stop talking. I’m worried you’ll lead Miss Tingyun astray. Besides, pursuing immortality is a serious crime on the Immortal Ship! Let’s go ask the Grand Diviner! The Jianmu tree is growing back; perhaps this is the reason for the chaos in the Immortal Ship’s star core!”

Watching March 7th and the others rushing towards Fu Xuan's direction, Hua Huo walked leisurely behind them, a slight smile playing on her lips as she looked at the thriving and abundant Jianmu trees.

"Immortality? The Immortal Ship is truly a place full of contradictions!"

Chapter 17 The Hand of NTR

When Huahuo walked up to Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan's phantoms, they seemed to be talking about something important. However, based on her experience, it seemed that the train crew members were about to start working on the Immortal Ship again.

Fu Xuan turned his gaze to the fireworks and immediately spoke.

"Qingque, go to the library immediately and find information about the Jianmu tree. Bring it back to me without fail!"

Hanabi:......

How annoying, I'm being treated like a servant by this short fortune teller again.

"Yes, Master Taibu."

Hanabi left reluctantly, but since she could now openly sneak into the Tabuan's library, she was determined to explore it thoroughly.

Hanabi walked into the library and easily found the documents about Jianmu. However, she didn't want to go back so soon, as that little dwarf might assign her some kind of job!

"Suddenly I understand why Qingque likes to slack off and do nothing. Let me see... 'The Development History of Immortal Ship' and 'The Root Cause of Demonic Yin Body'. Hahaha, interesting. Let me see what exactly Demonic Yin Body is all about, that makes the people of Immortal Ship avoid it like the plague."

Immediately afterwards, Huahu completely forgot about Fu Xuan's words and began to read through the literature about the Demonic Yin Body.

"So the Demonic Yin Body is caused by too many painful memories that fill the mind, leading to a gradual loss of emotions and ultimately falling into the Demonic Yin Body? If the memory-keeper of the Flowing Light Memory Court receives abundant blessings... I think I've discovered something incredible! This experiment is good. I'll ask Qinglan to save me a Jianmu fruit later."

Seeing that it was almost time, Huahuo immediately put the book back in its original place, then took the documents about Jianmu and went out to hand them to Fu Xuan.

Just then, she came out and ran into the train crew who were preparing to depart.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes! We received some tasks from the general, and now we are heading to the Construction Bureau."

“What a coincidence! I’ll come along too! I just finished the task assigned by Lord Fu Xuan, and I’ve also looked up a lot of information about Jianmu. With me there, things might be easier for you.”

"Really?... But, Miss Qingque, have you changed your ways? Shouldn't you be hiding in the sidelines, slacking off?"

"Hey, there's a time and place for slacking off! As the saying goes, every citizen has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation! If the Immortal Ship is gone, my secure job will be in jeopardy too. Let's go."

Just as Hanabi was heading to the Bureau of Works, Qinglan had already flown to Lin Yuan Realm. Seeing that the seal there could not be broken, Qinglan shook her head helplessly.

"So, only the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord can break the seal? But then again!"

Qinglan looked into the distance. The complete Wisdom Dragon Lord had not yet appeared, so the passage to Jianmu could not be opened. However... not being able to open the passage did not mean that it was impossible to enter, right?

Then his gaze fell upon the statue of the Vidyadhara Dragon, and a smile crept across his face.

"0.7 times the power of a Vidyadhara Dragon Lord should be enough to bypass the seal and enter the Scale Abyss Realm!"

After he finished speaking, a dark red energy swirled around Qinglan, and then, a man with blue dragon horns on his head slowly walked out.

Qinglan gripped her current body, looked at the Lin Yuan Realm before her, and couldn't help but laugh maniacally.

"The Vidyadharas, your Dragon Lord has returned!"

After saying that, Qinglan ignored the floodwaters surrounding the passage and walked straight towards the direction of the abundant Jianmu tree.

.........

"Danfeng, your sins are heinous, how dare you come back! You traitor who betrayed the Chiming Clan!"

"Traitor, traitor! I respected you so much, yet you brought such calamity upon the Ming Clan and even the Immortal Ship!"

A barrage of insults filled her ears, but Qinglan remained completely unmoved, even making frivolous gestures towards the wronged spirits.

"Hehehe, I did it! Go ahead and hit me! Hit me! I'll make you furious... no, you're already dead!"

"Danfeng, you traitor, you traitor!"

For a moment, Qinglan started arguing with these wronged spirits like a bored child.

He then muttered to himself, "Danfeng, Danfeng, I borrowed your appearance, so taking a scolding for you is my retribution!"

Following the clues given by these wronged spirits, Qinglan entered the location of the Jianmu Xuangen. Looking at the Jianmu tree in front of her, which resembled a dragon's head, Qinglan's heart couldn't help but stir.

"Is this the Jianmu Tree? I might be the first person to come here in the last few hundred years!"

Immediately afterwards, Qinglan slowly placed his hand on Xuanmu's body, and his body changed again, transforming into a frail old man with a white beard.

This is a masked fool he encountered in the tavern last time. He possesses an incredibly powerful ability that even he covets.

This ability is called "All Things Belong to Me". Any object touched by him, whether it is a weapon that recognizes its master or a carefully arranged array seal, will automatically choose to recognize him as its master.

And this guy has a really weird habit: he likes other people's things, treasures, weapons, secret treasures... anything he touches becomes his.

However, that old guy died a couple of years ago. Apparently, he stole the sword from a guy who called himself a sea patrol knight, but before he could even touch the scabbard, she cleaved him to death with a single blow. He really tried to steal a chicken but lost his rice instead; he was cleaved into pieces, and no one even knows where his body went.

It was hilarious, and his death plunged the entire tavern into three hours of merciless mockery. What a cold-blooded bunch of entertainers, showing no regard for camaraderie whatsoever.
