Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

Bai Lu raised her head and retorted, "Are you from out of town? This is the Immortal Ship. I'm not the little kid you're talking about. Don't assume I'm a child just because I'm small."

Jiang Jiu paused for two seconds.

"..."

"Jingyuan, why don't we send her back?"

Bai Lu's eyes widened, and she immediately realized she had said the wrong thing. She quickly said, "Hey!! No, no, no, I was wrong! According to our Chiming rules, I really am a child. Please don't send me back..."

Jing Yuan looked at Bai Lu, who immediately backed down and whose tail was drooping, and then at Jiang Jiu, who had a proud expression on his face as if he had amused a child. He finally couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, alright, stop scaring her."

Jing Yuan smoothed things over at the right moment, saying to Bai Lu, "I promised to let you play, so I won't go back on my word. But you can't run around. Come with us."

Bai Lu's eyes immediately lit up: "Really? Just staying by the general's side is enough?"

She knows Jingyuan well.

He often came to the Dan Ding Si to seek her treatment, but most of the time it was for minor ailments for which she couldn't prescribe medicine.

Even if medicine is prescribed, it's usually just a calming remedy.

After this happened so many times, she started to think that the general was just visiting her for a break.

At this moment, upon hearing Jing Yuan's words...

She immediately moved closer to Jing Yuan, then curiously peered at Jiang Jiu: "This... um, brother guest, you just mentioned a sister? Is your sister like me?"

Jiang Jiu looked at Bai Lu's curious gaze, a faint smile flashing across his eyes.

"Not like."

Jiang Jiu raised his hand and flicked Bai Lu's head.

"She's not as lively as you, nor is she as... good at running."

The gesture was intimate and natural. Bai Lu exclaimed "Oh dear!" and covered her forehead, but instead of flinching, she blinked her big eyes and asked, "Where is she now?"

Jiang Jiu withdrew his hand and shrugged: "I don't know, it should be in a very far place, probably."

The conversation ended when Bailu discovered some delicious and fun things.

Jingyuan kept glancing at the pastries in Jiangjiu's hand, making Jiangjiu almost think that Jingyuan wanted to eat them.

So he handed the things to Jingyuan.

"Do you want to eat?"

Jing Yuan coughed lightly: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"If you want to eat, you can have it."

"You eat it."

Jiang Jiu was puzzled, his gaze shifting between the pastries and Jing Yuan twice, as if he suddenly understood something.

This pastry is suspicious.

So Jiang Jiu gave the pastries to the Dragon Girl.

Bai Lu didn't even bother to look closely at what kind of pastry it was; she just took a bite as soon as she got it.

Hahahaha!!!

Suddenly, I heard the pastry make a series of crisp, cheerful laughs.

Startled, Bai Lu nearly threw the pastry away: "...Ming Lotus Root Cake??"

Jiang Jiu looked at Jing Yuan.

"It's quite a good thing, isn't it, General?"

......

(Regarding the lack of updates, this book unfortunately coincided with my final exam week, and I'm currently extremely busy. Please forgive me.)

Chapter 64 Intervention Completed, Next Stop: The Black Tower

The days of leisurely idling away always pass quickly.

After spending half an afternoon with Chiming's Little Dragon Girl, Jingyuan received a message from the Marshal.

The two escorted Bailu back to the Dan Ding Division. The little girl tugged at Jiang Jiu's sleeve, asking with a haughty yet awkward tone if there would be a next time.

Jiang Jiu paused for a moment, then smiled.

"probably."

There probably won't be a next time.

Bai Lu roughly understood Jiang Jiu's meaning and didn't ask any further questions. After saying goodbye, Jiang Jiu directly followed Jing Yuan on the star raft to the Marshal's Mansion.

"This Star Chariot... I heard it's grown, is that true?" Jiang Jiu asked curiously.

"Of course it's true."

Jing Yuan explained, "The outer body of the Star Chariot is made from the seeds of specific spiritual trees, supplemented by array formations and Jade Luck calculation power, and cultivated and grown in a specific environment. It is a product of the combination of nature's craftsmanship and creation."

"No wonder I could feel the breath of life."

Jiang Jiu observed for a while with great interest, then turned his head and stared intently at Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan: "......"

Thus, under the watchful eyes of the Immortal Boat General, Jiang Jiu successfully and openly piloted the Starship without a license.

Before long, after Jiang Jiu was reminded for taking the detour for the third time, the Star Chariot reluctantly landed.

The moment he landed, Jing Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but press his temples.

"Lord Jiang Jiu's skills... are truly excellent."

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment. The Starship is indeed more fun to handle than interstellar warships and spaceships. It truly lives up to its name as a Celestial Ship."

So, ScrewGumm has to ask: ?

[Question: Are you sure you believe the Starship is superior to my spaceship?]

[Even if you're exceptionally talented, you can't play it, but the Starship on Immortal Boat is really for Jiang Jiu to play on, isn't that interesting?]

Could you please take a few seeds with you and plant them?

Come on, it wasn't entirely naturally grown; there must have been human intervention.

Looking for Ruan Mei!

[Ruan Mei doesn't care.]

Jing Yuan could only smile awkwardly at Jiang Jiu's affirmation of Xingcha.

"Haha... I'm glad you like it..."

Upon entering the Marshal's Mansion, Jing Yuan went in first and chatted with Hua for a while, while Jiang Jiu sat in the main hall and waited.

The main hall of the Marshal's Mansion is simply and solemnly decorated in a classic antique style.

Although he said he was waiting, Jiang Jiu didn't actually wait very long.

The door to the side hall opened silently, and a composed figure stepped out first.

The woman walking in front was dressed in the attire of a Marshal of the Immortal Ship, her steps steady; she was none other than Hua, the Marshal of the Immortal Ship Alliance.

Jing Yuan lagged slightly behind, his expression more serious than usual.

Hua's gaze fell on Jiang Jiu, and he said, "I have long admired your name, Envoy of Wisdom. Please forgive me for any shortcomings in our hospitality during your visit to Luofu."

Her voice was calm, revealing no emotional fluctuations. Even her standard polite words carried an undeniable weight.

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and decided that it was best not to say anything in such a solemn occasion, such as "I have just become the Wisdom Envoy, where have I been for so long?"

That's so low-class, it makes everyone lose face.

"Marshal, you're too kind. It's me who has bothered you."

Jiang Jiu stood up, nodded slightly, his attitude casual yet still respectful: "The scenery on the Immortal Ship is unique, and General Jing Yuan has been very hospitable. This trip has been worthwhile."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Hua gestured for Jiang Jiu to sit down.

The servants silently served tea, the steaming tea blurring their scrutinizing gazes.

"I presume that Your Excellency's trip was not merely for sightseeing at Luofu Mountain."

Hua got straight to the point, steer the conversation to the core issue.

"General Shence has informed me that you seem to have doubts about what Luocha and Jingliu are plotting."

Jiang Jiu picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and put it down. His tone became more serious: "It's not a doubt, it's that I've noticed the risks involved."

"What is the core of your plan...?"

Hua's expression remained unchanged as he calmly spoke.

"The hunting arrows are always aimed at abundance, but in any case, this is an internal matter of my Immortal Ship."

"Sir, in what capacity do you intend to interfere in Luofu's internal affairs?"

An eerie silence fell over the room.

For a moment, no one spoke first.

Jiang Jiu glanced at Marshal Xianzhou for a few seconds, then slowly sipped his tea.

"A refreshing cup of tea..."

Hua remained noncommittal: "Well, is it to your liking?"

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "Very good."

Jiang Jiu is actually a pure Honkai Impact 3rd player; he hasn't touched any of the Honkai Impact 3rd trilogy.

He didn't really know this marshal, but based on just these few words, he could guess that he wasn't someone who was easily persuaded...

"Marshal, please speak frankly. What kind of sincerity do you offer to get involved in this matter?"

Why did you get involved in this?
