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

"I know, I know, you man, you're really something when it comes to using people. If I had known that playing your uncle and aunt would be so tiring, I would have preferred to play the cat or dog! At least if I had acted cute with a young lady, she would have treated me like a treasure."

"Don't I pamper you like a treasure now?"

"Hmph, you only did that to put on a good father and husband image in front of your sister. After Little Bluebird left, you immediately showed your true colors."

Qinglan shrugged, not intending to refute. However, Qingque would be staying at Taibusi for a while, which meant they no longer needed to play the role of "loving couple."

Once the fireworks had successfully set up the illusion once more, the two of them emerged from the secret room satisfied.

"Ever since I became the Masked Fool, my life has been fast-paced, full of danger and excitement. But now, I can actually enjoy the life of an ordinary, normal family. It's quite rare!"

Qinglan's sigh left Huahu speechless. "Darling, you're getting sentimental now. Just look at what you've been doing lately. Any faction would probably want to tear you apart."

Aren't you just like me?

“It’s different. You are the principal offender, and I am an accomplice.”

"It doesn't matter, we're in the same boat now anyway."

Qinglan smiled, then stretched her limbs. "Because of the Medicine King's secret teachings and the abundant evil creatures, the Construction Bureau hasn't started construction yet. That's good enough, at least I don't have to go to the Construction Bureau to work in place of my uncle. During this period, let's enjoy the life of an ordinary person! The only way for us to leave the Immortal Ship is to wait. When the Luofu Immortal Ship can no longer be dragged, that will be the time for us to win."

At this time, the Grand Master of Ceremonies...

When Qingque arrived at Taibusi, she found that the train crew members were all there. She greeted them warmly and then immediately went to Fu Xuan's side.

"My Lord, I've arrived. Haven't those two masked fools been caught yet?"

Fu Xuan looked at her, and Qing Que suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. "Grand Diviner, what are you going to do?"

"Bluebird, come to me."

Qingque was puzzled, but she had to obey her superior's orders, so she ran over nervously. After all, the Grand Diviner hadn't been in a good mood lately, and she didn't want to provoke him.

The moment Qingque arrived in front of Fu Xuan, the Qiong Guan Array appeared directly beneath Qingque's feet, leaving Qingque momentarily confused about what was happening.

"Lord Diviner, what are you doing?"

Fu Xuan didn't speak. She simply closed her eyes and began to divine for Qing Que. After about thirty seconds, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Alright, Qingque, you're really here. Let's meet over there!"

Fu Xuan slowly extended his finger and pointed in the direction of the train crew, while Qing Que said in some shock.

"Lord Diviner, did you think I was an imposter just now?"

"Just in case, I will be organizing a small team to capture the Masked Fool. I will personally lead the team, so everyone who joins must be someone I can trust completely. The team members are you, Miss Xing, Miss March 7, Mr. Danheng, and Mr. Walter."

"But, but Lord Taibu, haven't the Cloud Cavalry already started searching? I guess they'll be caught soon!"

"Qingque, don't underestimate the cunning of those two Masked Fools. With their ability to transform into anyone, deceiving the search team will be incredibly easy for them. Moreover, the most important thing is that the Abundant Jianmu is still in their hands. Sealing off the Immortal Ship is already a huge challenge. The General once told me that given the Immortal Ship's economic situation, it can only be sealed off for a maximum of three months. Therefore, we need to bring those two guys to justice within three months!"

Qingque was a little nervous. She was just a lowly fortune teller who slacked off at work! How could she possibly be given such a difficult task?

"Your Excellency, may I ask why you chose me?"

“You are one of the few among these people who have had close contact with those two masked fools. Since they chose you, there must be something about you that attracts them. Moreover, you are quite familiar with me, so even if they impersonate me, you can easily see through their disguise.”

"Ah, that, that was just a coincidence! No, but, Your Excellency, this matter is too sudden. I want to go home today and tell my parents. Ever since I was replaced, they've practically grown onto me. I don't want them to worry."

"Well, yes."

Chapter 30 Bluebird, This is Just a Little Pleasure Between Us

"Although we can get through this, life without fun is really unbearable! Honey, how about you tell me a joke? If that doesn't work, you could tell me an embarrassing story from your childhood to cheer up this bored Miss Fireworks!"

Half a day after Qingque left home, Hanabi was already slumped on the bed, rolling around in boredom. For someone who loves to have fun, not having fun was worse than death.

Now she can only relieve her boredom by chatting with Qinglan, but the thought that this mundane life will continue for a long time makes her feel uncomfortable.

"You can't stand that? If we locked you in a cell in the Dark Prison, I doubt you could last three days!"

"Hmm, that's true, but... oh dear!"

Hanabi ran to Qinglan's side in a few steps, then shook Qinglan's arm and said coquettishly.

"Since we're law-abiding citizens of the Immortal Ship now, why don't we go out and have some fun? Staying at home all the time will drive us crazy."

"The situation outside is very tense right now. After we leave the Immortal Ship, I'll take you for a tour of the Interstellar Peace Company."

Fireworks looked somewhat disappointed, her face full of unhappiness. Qinglan shook her head slightly, "When you caused the chaos on the Immortal Ship a few days ago, you were laughing more happily than anyone else. Have you forgotten so quickly?"

"But you also said that it happened a few days ago. People who enjoy themselves feel like their lives have lost their soul if they don't have fun every day."

Qinglan slowly raised her hand and patted Huahuo's little head. "Since you're so bored, then treat me as the person you hate the most, and kick me a few times. The deeper your hatred, the harder you kick me. That way you won't be bored."

"Ah! Really? Darling, you've made such a huge sacrifice for me. But kicking you hurts me too, after all, we're inseparable partners!"

Seeing Hanabi excitedly say those words, Qinglan immediately laughed in exasperation.

"But your face doesn't show any sign of remorse! Don't pretend, just kick if you want. I'm only giving you one chance to vent your emotions, and if you don't seize it, I won't allow it. Three, two..."

“I kick!”

Hanabi's kick contained all the resentment in her heart. The thought that this bastard had made her a wanted criminal of the Interstellar Peace Company made her extremely angry.

And the most crucial thing is that her bounty is so low, not even as high as the lowest bounty for a Star Core Hunter like Silver Wolf. It's infuriating!

She felt she couldn't quell her anger without giving him a good beating today. However, just as Hanabi's foot was about to kick Qinglan, the door to the house suddenly opened.

"Dad, Mom, I'm home..."

Boom!

With a loud bang, Qinglan was kicked directly against the wall, while Hanabi awkwardly remained in that position, looking at Qingque, who had suddenly returned home, with a subtle expression.

Qinglan was also quite embarrassed at this moment. Imagine a daughter coming home to find her usually kind and gentle mother violently kicking her father against the wall. Imagine the psychological trauma she would suffer.

"...Dad, are you alright?"

Qingque ran straight to Qinglan's side, helped her up, and then looked at Qinglan's injuries, saying with heartache.

"Daddy, where did Mommy kick you? Does it hurt?"

Immediately afterwards, Qingque began to complain about Hanabi.

"Mom, why did you kick Dad? And why did you kick him so hard? What if you hurt him?"

Just as Qingque was about to argue, Qinglan immediately grabbed Qingque's arm and said with a displeased expression.

"Didn't you say you weren't coming back today? Why are you suddenly home?"

"Ah! Lord Fu Xuan specially created a squad to capture the Masked Fool today, and I am a member of it. However, it might be dangerous, so I came back to discuss it with you. But... wait, don't try to change the subject. Why are you two fighting? And Mom, you two never argue, why are you fighting this time!"

Seeing that her identity might be exposed, Hanabi immediately came up with many explanations, but none of them made sense. Just then, Aoran slowly spoke.

"No, don't blame your mother, I told her to kick it."

Upon hearing this, Qingque instantly felt her mind go blank. "Why?"

Seeing Qingque's questioning gaze, Qinglan silently apologized to her uncle in her heart, then rubbed Qingque's head with an expression of looking at a child.

"Little Bluebird! You've grown up now, and it's time for you to know some things."

"What, what happened?"

"Actually, your dad is a masochist. Oh dear, what a shame I have!"

Immediately afterward, Qinglan blushed, while Qingque was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, Huahuo was shocked and gave Qinglan a thumbs up in admiration.

Wow, that's really amazing. Even she hadn't thought of using this as an explanation.

"…Huh? Wait, Dad, what are you saying? You, you, you…you are a…masochist?"

"Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed, Little Bluebird, please don't ask about this anymore."

As she spoke, Qinglan covered her face, blushing deeply. Qingque was utterly shocked upon hearing the news, her worldview seemingly shattered.

"No, no way! Dad, how could you be a masochist! Mom, this isn't real, right? This isn't real!"

The play has come to this point, and we have to keep going no matter what.

Hanabi gently patted Aokiji's shoulder. "Little Aokiji, I'm so sorry for keeping this from you for so long. Actually, if you hadn't suddenly come back this time, we were planning to keep it from you forever. After all... it's very embarrassing for our daughter to find out about our quirks!"

Qingque slumped to the ground, her eyes somewhat dazed. She had gone out and returned early, only to learn that her father was a masochist who loved being beaten by her mother.

"Mom, how long has this been going on?"

"...It's been there since the day we got married, but your father never dared to tell you. But this time...it's been exposed."

"No, this isn't true, this isn't true. Dad couldn't possibly be a masochist. He's so kind and gentle. And Mom, don't you love Dad the most? How could you bear to mistreat him?"

"Sigh! Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell you. Actually, your mother is a sadist. If you don't believe me..."

Then, Hanabi immediately walked to Qinglan's side with a smile on her face.

“Darling, Little Bluebird doesn’t seem to trust us much! Why don’t we let her know? After all, she’s all grown up now, so it’s not a big deal if she finds out our secret.”

Qinglan's lips twitched slightly. "No, I asked you to cover up the lie, not to add drama! Also, your expression looks a bit dangerous!"

"My darling daughter, your father loves the feeling of his mother beating him!"

Then, without holding back, Hanabi stomped hard on Qinglan's body.

"Ah~~"

Qinglan not only had to make an expression of enjoyment, but also make sounds of enjoying it all.
