"A star core? That's impossible." Dan Shu frowned, but she quickly calmed down and shook her head, saying, "Even if this is true, harboring a star core in the body of a short-lived being is likely to be dangerous. It seems you are destined to be deprived of immortality."

"Xing, I beg you to leave Luofu... leave this dispute. Things are not as they seem."

"How did the hunting dogs of the Divine Strategy Palace describe this civil war to you? Emperor Gong Siming, representing the righteous deities of the righteous temples, is hunting the evil god Shou Wen Huo Zu across the universe, while Medicine King Secret is a minion of the evil god?"

"Is this really the case? You don't know the Compassionate Medicine King, nor the Demon Bow Originator, but you do know me. In your eyes, am I such a person?"

"I don't ask you to take sides... I just hope you can stay away from Luofu, away from all this. None of this has anything to do with you, and I don't want to be your enemy."

Emiya family——

"Saber, I also feel that Miss Danshu has some unspeakable secrets..." Seeing Danshu's true feelings, Emiya Shirou suddenly felt that the fried shrimps in the bowl were not fragrant anymore.

Judging from the current situation, a battle between Xing and Dan Shu is inevitable.

"Ermiya, don't be fooled by this woman's sweet words."

Cu Chulainn, savoring delicious grilled fish and beer, forcibly managed a hint of seriousness amidst his seemingly blissful expression. "Have you forgotten? Every elixir passed down by the Medicine King contains the marrow of the Vajra people. Everyone can talk big, but the fact of trampling on the lives of other peoples cannot be covered up with sweet words."

"Furthermore, when this woman spoke, she mentioned that Xing didn't know about the God of Plenty, and she tried to use this to silence her. But the question is... have the Medicine King Secret Transmission and others themselves ever known about the God of Plenty?"

Saber also cast a puzzled look at Cu Chulainn: "Lancer, what do you mean by this?"

Cu Chulainn smiled faintly and put down his chopsticks. "Understanding the [real Star God] and understanding their [imaginary Star God] are completely different concepts. After all, the Medicine Master has never directly responded to the Medicine King's secret teachings. The poor believers have always believed in their imaginary Star God. Whether it's kindness or goodness... these are all footnotes added by humans."

"They call the Medicine Master the 'Compassionate Medicine King,' as if the deity possessed infinite virtues. But if the deity were truly as benevolent as they claim, why would it be so blind to the suffering endured by the people of the Immortal Boat for thousands of years?"

"On the other hand, the Patrolling Star God is at least a god who responds to his believers and is willing to share his power with the humans who follow him. This alone makes him infinitely more powerful than the Abundant Pharmacist."

Saber nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"Indeed, although the Medicine Master granted immortality to the Immortal Boat, there aren't many records of him in person... Instead, his followers are using the name of the gods to satisfy their own selfish desires."

Chapter 133 Paipai: It’s great to be young. Miss Suchang is so cute and energetic~

"Xing lowered her head in silence. She said nothing in response to Danshu's plea. She simply breathed deeply, as if a fierce internal struggle was brewing in her mind."

"After a moment, she opened her eyes and without a word, she pulled out her baseball bat."

A flash of disappointment seemed to cross Dan Shu's colorless eyes, but she quickly recovered and returned to her usual indifferent tone: "So, what a shame! If you had gotten to know me first, perhaps we could have become true friends."

"Master Kuishou, we have to leave..." the demonic spirit beside him whispered.

Dan Shu nodded, and before turning to leave, he sighed, "I sincerely hope this is our final farewell. Farewell, Wumingke."

"After saying this, Dan Shu disappeared into the Engineering Department."

"Dealing with the two demonic bodies isn't difficult, but thinking back to what Dan Shu just said, it made her feel very heavy."

"Sigh... Let's go to the Divine Strategy Palace and inform Qingtu."

"I feel like Xing showed some mercy at the last moment... Otherwise, with her strength, she could have easily taken Dan Shu away from them in front of the two demonic Yin bodies."

Inside Nata's Holy Flame Arena, looking at the dejected Xing, Chaska and Mavica lost all desire to have another drink. Though they were in different worlds and couldn't empathize, she could still understand the sentiment.

"Perhaps Danshu's last words had some impact on her?" Mavica sighed. "...I understand."

"Mavica, if it were you, would you let Danshu go?"

"Me?" Mavica thought for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled. "If I were to stand from the perspective of the God Nata... no, from the perspective of General Xianzhou, I would definitely keep this ringleader of countless crimes. But if I put aside my position and just look at it from my own perspective, I would consider giving her another chance."

"Oh? I thought Kagami-sama would be more strict."

"Dan Shu is a very complex person. I can't view her in black and white terms. She has a side as the head of the alchemy team, protecting the weak, but she also has a side as the leader of the Medicine King's secret teachings, a perpetrator who harms others."

"I will give her one chance... let her atone for her sins, and after that, I will treat her as a true friend. But if she doesn't cherish this opportunity..."

The words stopped abruptly, and Mavica sighed softly. She spread her hands outward with an expression that said "I've done my best."

"--Then her journey has come to an end?" Chaska understood and continued her words with a smile.

"Inside the Shen Ce Mansion, Xing reported to Qing Zhui everything that had happened at the Industrial and Manufacturing Department. Although Qing Zhui felt a little regretful for not being able to capture her, this valuable information had already given her a great help."

"After resolving the Danshu issue, Xing realized that he had been delayed for a long time and would soon reunite with Walter and Sanyue."

"Suddenly, she received another message from Dan Heng."

"Dan Heng: Our Starship has deviated from its course. What's the situation there?"

"Xing: You're alive again?"

"Danheng: Yes. How is the situation there?"

"Xing: We captured Kafka, but it went so smoothly, it was a little strange."

"Danheng: Where are Kafka's companions? Have you seen Blade?"

"Xing: She was alone when we caught her, what happened?"

"Dan Heng: Be careful, that man is very dangerous. I'll find a chance to shake off Yunqi and catch up with you."

----

"The scene switches to Dan Heng. Su Shang is looking up at the Jianmu roots of the Gongzaosi with a look of wonder."

"Is this the Jianmu tree from Luofu? This is the first time I've seen it." Su Chang's eyes widened, and her rosy lips curled into a small circle, making a cute "wawawa" sound.

"Our Yaoqing's plague sign is a moon. Hehe, it looks better than Luofu's."

"Rakshasa: "I heard that Jianmu was already dead...how could it suddenly grow and spread?"

"It's the evil at the heart of the star. There's no other explanation. We must return to the Ten Kings Division as soon as possible!" Xue Yi said anxiously. "I'm injured and can't move easily. I need you to help me. Once we find the Star Ferry, you can move freely."

"The Ten Kings can requisition Cloud Riders. This is the rule on the Immortal Ship. Everyone had no objection and simply followed Xue Yi's lead."

"Thankfully, the monsters along the way seemed to have been cleared out, so there weren't many of them. After passing through a painted screen, they encountered Master Gongshu, who was staying at the Industrial and Manufacturing Bureau. By now, he was so bored that he started chatting with Di Ting."

"I, Gongshu Liang, am not a coward. The safety of the Engineering Department now depends entirely on me."

"Listen carefully: 'Woo-woof! Woo-woof!'"

"Mr. Gongshu put on a troubled expression and said, 'No! Ah Cai, you should run for your life. The Cloud Riders haven't arrived for a long time. Now, I am the only one who can turn the tide!'"

Su Shang, standing by, was extremely worried and quickly advised, "Uncle, don't try to be a hero."

Master Gongshu opened his eyes wide and said, "Acai, why are you talking now?"

"Who are you calling a puppy?" Su Shang pouted in dissatisfaction.

New Eridu, Outer Ring—

"Oh, Miss Su Shang is so cute and energetic. It's great to be young~"

Paipai, who was a little sleepy, yawned contentedly after seeing Suchang's cute pouting face.

Lucy sat on the sofa, her jade-white thighs folded together. Even though she was now a biker, her every move retained the elegance of a young lady. Gently stirring her coffee with a spoon, she hummed, "...But this silly look of hers does resemble Caesar."

"Correction: Not stupid at all." Caesar sighed helplessly. "Besides, I think Miss Su Shang is very nice and straightforward. It's a pity she's not in the Outer Ring, otherwise I really want to treat her to a couple of Bernice's specials."

"Humph, people like this are the easiest to be deceived by bad guys out there! They are simple-minded and trust others easily. And it's not just her, Caesar... you too!"

"Me? I wasn't cheated?" Caesar scratched his head in confusion.

"Isn't it because I'm here? Without me, you would have been ripped off in the Outer Ring Road and wouldn't even be able to afford the fuel for your motorcycle!"

As she spoke, Lucy raised her chin proudly. "I'll give you three minutes to be grateful to me, Caesar. Of course, if you want to make it up to me, you can let me sit on the top job for a few days."

"Eh? Lucy, didn't you lose to me last night?"

"Nonsense! I, I didn't lose...!" The girl's face flushed crimson, and she clenched her fists tightly. "Truce! This is just a temporary truce! Sooner or later, I'll win! Caesar, just wait for me!"

"I'm sorry, young lady. I didn't realize I hadn't given the little one a voice... Hmm? Wait... where did you get here?" Master Gongshu finally realized there were four people standing before him. "You guys, run for your lives!"

Su Shang patted her chest with a proud look on her face: "You just said, 'The Cloud Riders haven't come for a long time'. As a Cloud Rider, I'm here now, right? Leave the things here to me!"

"No! As the Director of Works, I have a duty to stay behind at the headquarters," Master Gongshu said righteously.

"Oh?" Su Chang's pretty face finally showed a wicked smile. "Looks like we'll have to resort to some desperate measures. Are you going to do it yourself, or do you want the guy in the white coat behind me to stuff you into his white box and take you away?"

Chapter 134 One person operating six flying swords? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"After escorting Master Gongshu to the main gate, he decided to part ways with the others. Although the Industrial and Construction Department was dangerous, that was no reason for him to abandon his duties."

"Su Chang was about to open her mouth to offer some more advice, but Xue Yi raised her hand and interrupted, saying, 'Everyone has their responsibilities. Let's go.'"

"Outside the main gate of the Ministry of Industry and Construction is the ferry. After successfully completing the escort, Xue Yi once again expressed her gratitude to everyone: "Thank you all for your protection along the way. I will report this good deed to the Ten Kings, and if the opportunity arises, I will definitely repay you."

"After Xue Yi left, Su Shang also planned to return to Dan Ding Division to rejoin the team and asked about the whereabouts of the two."

"As a traveling merchant, Luosha will naturally follow Suchang. Danheng, considering the current position of the star, decided to accompany them on the rest of the journey."

-

"On the other side, the Xingcha Sea not long ago."

"Yan Qing is tracking the whereabouts of Ren. The clues to his records are cut off here."

He approached two Cloud Knights to inquire about the situation. When they mentioned Blade, both soldiers expressed confusion. "After escaping the Prison of Hell, Blade seemed to have evaporated. Perhaps he's no longer on the Immortal Boat?"

"…Or perhaps, Ren had no intention of escaping at all." Yan Qing lowered his gaze slightly and expressed this bolder guess."

"Alas, Luofu has provoked some evil spirit! Demons and ghosts are causing chaos all over the place."

Seeing the two men's worried expressions, Yan Qing straightened up confidently and said, "I'm here to exorcise the demon for the general."

"You?" The leading Cloud Rider looked him up and down again, raising his eyebrows slightly. "But I haven't received any orders from General Jingyuan..."

“Uh…it’s a covert operation.”

"Then should we send a few more men to help the guard?" Yunqi's tone seemed to show disdain for the young master in front of him, and he deliberately emphasized the word "send more men."

"I appreciate the captain's kindness. A secret means the fewer people who know about it, the better." Yan Qing snorted inconspicuously.

Attack on Titan——

Survey Corps Office.

"...Yan Qing has been underestimated." Sergeant Levi sneered, "Just in terms of swordsmanship, no one in the Cloud Cavalry can underestimate Yan Qing, right?"

"The Cloud Knights are certainly aware of Yanqing's abilities, making him a worthy guard for the General." Erwin's voice was a little low. "But investigating a case is different from fighting. Criminals won't stand up and fight you obediently. Yanqing is good with a sword, but he may not have experience in investigating cases."

"To capture an extremely dangerous criminal like Ren, the most reasonable option is to form a search team whose members can make up for each other's weaknesses. Yan Qing is alone, obviously trying to prove something to the general... Haha, the mentality of a young man is understandable."

"From your tone... Erwin, do you hope Yanqing gets nothing?" Levi narrowed his eyes.

"...I may not be as interested in the contents of the light curtain as you think. The legion has too many things to do right now."

Erwin withdrew his gaze from the light curtain and rubbed his temple wearily. "Right now, they're secretly conducting research on immortality, which is causing a lot of trouble for the army. Compared to what's about to happen in the light curtain, I'm more concerned about the giants outside the wall and conquering Wall Maria."

"Are there any new instructions from above?"

"Well, the latest mission is: to obtain the spinal cords of twelve pure giants."

"Tsk... these lunatics." Levi cursed inwardly, "Do they know what they are researching?"

"All research on immortality is secret, and the Corps has no authority to interfere. However, there are rumors that there are two specific directions, including religion and research."

"Religion?" Levi frowned. "Is it the Wall Cult? Are they trying to get involved?"

"No, it's said someone proposed to follow the example of the ancestors of the Immortal Boat and seek the blessing of immortality from the Plenty Star God beyond the sky. However, considering the limited resources within the city walls, it is impossible to build a planet-sized spacecraft. Therefore, the plan has been shelved and a new direction is being sought."

"???"

Levi had a confused expression on his face.

"As for the second one... you can guess it without me telling you."

At this point, Erwin remained calm, a rare sight. "I have a feeling they're touching some taboo... but there's so little information, I know nothing. I can only do my best to protect Allen and prevent those nobles from laying their hands on him."

-

"Hmph, send more people... who are you looking down on?" Yan Qing snorted inwardly before heading to Xingcha Sea to begin his independent investigation.

"But after searching for a long time, he found no more valuable clues, so he had no choice but to go to the dock to investigate the Star Raft he had hijacked."

"Along the way, Yan Qing discovered that the corpses of demonic Yin bodies were scattered all over the ground, piled up together and almost blocking the road. However, a closer look at the scars on their bodies showed that they were definitely not the work of the Cloud Cavalry."

"For someone with this kind of strength right now, Yan Qing only thought of the blade. He felt a little relieved when he saw the traces left by the prey."

"Following the trail upwards, Yan Qing discovered a group of demonic beings surrounding a white-haired woman."

"Why are there still trapped civilians? The Cloud Cavalry here are incompetent." Yan Qing was anxious and flew forward. Suddenly, six flying swords flew out from behind him. "Hey, big sister, don't panic, I'll rescue you right away!"
