Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the fairy boat has gone from early spring to late autumn.

As a giant ship sailing in the Milky Way, the Immortal Ship originally had no seasons, but the people of the Immortal Ship still used the tradition brought from the ancient kingdom to simulate the natural scenery of the changing seasons in various cave heavens with formations.

The ginkgo trees in Changle Street turned the whole street yellow, and the old locust tree at the entrance of Jinren Alley also began to shed its leaves, adding a refreshing coolness to the air in the mornings and evenings.

These subtle changes remind every member of the Xianzhou team that time is slowly passing by.

Lu Ze was carrying a food box and walking through the night-shrouded Changletian Street toward Taibusi.

The food box contained the yam and pork rib soup he had just cooked, along with two small dishes of side dishes.

Recently, due to frequent unusual events among the people of Fengrao, the diviner, who is responsible for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, has been extremely busy, with endless calculations and data to record every day.

The jade omens screen in the array control room was lit from morning till night, and the diviners jogged down the corridor to pass on star map files.

On the contrary, Lu Ze, as the librarian, became the most idle person in the entire Taipusi.

During wartime, the library only had outgoing materials and no incoming materials. All archives were transferred out for simulation purposes, and there was no need to organize or archive them.

He goes to get off work and leaves work on time every day without having to work overtime, which is in stark contrast to Fu Xuan's early departures and late returns.

Lu Ze felt sorry for Fu Xuan because of her hard work, so he has been preparing late-night snacks at home every day and packing them in a food box to take to the Taibu Si.

After she finished her work, the two of them walked home together under the cover of night.

"I'm saying, why don't you just confess your feelings directly?" The speaker was none other than a finger-sized flying sword that hung on Lu Ze's chest as an ornament.

This was the sword Fu Xuan had given him. Its blade was slender and long, and now, after shrinking, it obediently rested on his lapel like an exquisite brooch.

Fu Xuan named it "Du'e", meaning to overcome difficulties and be free from misfortune.

Lu Ze felt that this naming style was in line with her professional habits as a diviner, but Lu Ze generally preferred to call it "Little Calamity".

It became so small because it's been throwing a tantrum lately.

Little Er was extremely dissatisfied with Lu Ze for keeping it in a dark and gloomy storage bag after he got it. In its own words, "What do you take a peerless divine sword for? A dowry to be kept at the bottom of your chest?"

Finally, Lu Ze was so exasperated by it that he had no choice but to run back to find Master Gongshu.

Master Gongshu understood Lu Ze's purpose and waved his hand dismissively.

"If it doesn't want to stay in one place, then let it out."

After saying that, he immediately upgraded the flying sword, adding a space compression module so that it could automatically increase or decrease in size.

Enlarging is not needed for now, but shrinking is indeed very useful.

At least the sword is no longer causing trouble, although this talkative AI can be a bit annoying sometimes.

For example, it has started chattering again now.

"I have to leave eventually, and I don't want to let her down." Lu Ze sighed helplessly.

He liked Fu Xuan; he had already confirmed that.

But he is different from ordinary people. He can't even control when he will be rejected by this world, so how could he dare to easily promise a relationship?

"Then be honest with her. What's the point of stringing each other along like this?"

Xiao Er's voice resonated in his chest, his tone like that of an emotional master.

"Next week happens to be her birthday. Let me tell you, this is your best chance to confess your feelings and win her over in one fell swoop." It became more and more excited as it spoke, and the blade even got slightly warm.

Lu Ze remained silent.

The autumn wind blows through the ginkgo treetops, and a few golden leaves twirl and fall onto the bluestone slabs.

He was indeed somewhat tempted, but was still considering it.
