Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

"Ah Qiong, I thought you would keep those women."

On the way back, Huang Quan spoke up, and Qiong almost twisted her ankle upon hearing this, then looked at her resentfully.

"What do you take me for, a pervert?"

"no?"

"Of course not! Although I am a womanizer, I also have my own principles. Those people are all children raised by Afrit. Their father was killed by you. Any normal person would want revenge, right? Anyone with a brain would first thank you for sparing their lives, and then lie in wait to stab them in the back at the most unexpected time. You want me to gamble my own safety and Estella's safety on the enemy's intentions? I am not a gambler."

Qiong said very seriously that he was not afraid of retaliation, but how could he not be afraid of retaliation from bad guys when Estella managed such a large space station? Even for Estella's sake, he had to eliminate the root of the problem so that he could sleep peacefully.

A smile appeared on Huang Quan's face. Although she wouldn't say anything if Qiong let those people go, it was gratifying that he would think things through before acting. Since they had already become enemies, they should all be killed without any hesitation.

"Besides, although Constance is somewhat attractive, there are plenty of beautiful women out there. Isn't my Mei beautiful? There's no way to compare them, you are the most beautiful woman in my heart."

Qiong held Huang Quan's hand and praised her repeatedly. She was not only beautiful, but also very good at fighting. She could completely dominate the galaxy. Could other women do that?

Huang Quan felt a little uncomfortable from Qiong's praise, mainly because the words were too cheesy. Fortunately, the exit was already close at hand, so she quickly walked out of the spatial rift and appeared in the space station with Qiong.

"I'll go tell Estelle the good news."

After returning, Sora ran into the medical room, where Estella was still resting. She was quite surprised to see Sora return.

Where did you go?

Aistar asked in confusion. She was very bored in the medical room. The doctor said that she could not do anything but sleep. The only thing she could do to distract herself was to chat with Qiongqi Ersan or Jiuqi Sansi.

"I've gone to seek revenge on Duke Minghuo," Qiong said seriously.

"what?"

Aista's expression suddenly became quite interesting. She stared blankly at Qiong. Of course, she had thought about taking revenge on the Eternal Flame Mansion. Her family were shareholders of the Interstellar Peace Company. If they couldn't even do something like this, they shouldn't be shareholders. But she didn't expect Qiong to make a move ahead of time and return so quickly.

“How could I tolerate it bullying you like that? I went straight to its lair and wiped out its whole family.”

Qiong spoke eloquently, and then began to tell Aistar a story. However, he changed the protagonist of the story from Huang Quan to himself, making it a story of him fighting the Grand Duke of Minghuo for five hundred rounds with a katana and finally killing him.

"Wow, that's amazing! No wonder you're called Qiong Xiaozi. My investment was a success."

Estella nodded and said that she did not doubt that Qiong was just teasing her. She was willing to believe anything he said he could do. Who could doubt someone who was risking his life to save them? Moreover, what Qiong said matched the setting of the Darkfire Duke, especially their conversation, which was very much in line with Estella's impression of the Destruction Madman.

"I went through so much trouble to avenge you, and you're not even going to give me a kiss as a reward?"

After saying that, Qiong pressed her face close to Estella's and started to chime in whenever she could. She said that credit should be claimed by herself. If she did something and did nothing, wouldn't it be a waste of her time?

"It wasn't me who asked you to go."

Estella reached out and pushed Sora's face away, saying that even though there was soot on her face from the fire, the stationmaster wouldn't buy it. She said that she wouldn't date Sora right now.

"Then let's hold hands. I feel at ease when I hold your hand."

Kyō extended his hands and said that Estád didn't refuse this time. He placed his palms in hers, and Kyō held Estád's fair and smooth hands in both of his own, stroking her palms and fingers, holding them very tenderly.

Estella's cheeks visibly flushed. No matter how much she denied it, their relationship was already close enough that they could hold hands casually. They were more than friends but not quite lovers. She didn't want to be in a relationship, but she didn't object to Qiong pursuing her. Occasionally, she would give a shy, girlish response, which made Qiong very satisfied. He felt like he was raising a little rich girl into a super rich girl. Wouldn't that be enough for him for the rest of his life?

Chapter 38 Entering the Dream

"Estella, get some rest. I've taken care of the bad guys. You and the space station will be fine."

Qiong gently placed Estella's hand back under the covers, then raised her hand to touch her forehead, wanting her to have a peaceful sleep.

"you are leaving?"

Estella looked at Qiong with her bright eyes and said that she had indeed thought about the Grand Duke of Netherfire's subsequent revenge, but Qiong had taken away her worries, so at least she wouldn't think about it when she went to sleep.

"Yes, I need to go back to Pinocchio. I wish I could take you with me."

Qiong nodded and said that Estella wasn't interested in Pinocchio, otherwise she would definitely have received an invitation given her status. She preferred to stay in the space station and watch the stars.

"Then have fun, and come back and tell me your story."

Estella smiled and said that Qiong nodded. After leaving the medical room, he quickly returned with Pepe in his arms. He put Pepe on the hospital bed so that it could keep Estella company in his place.

"Brother Dog, I'm leaving Estella to you."

Qiong stroked Peipei's fluffy head, and Peipei nodded as if it were a human, and even raised its paw. Qiong also raised his hand and touched the dog's paw, revealing their brotherly affection.

"If you and Qiong become brothers, wouldn't our generational order be messed up if we were together in the future?"

After Sora left, Estella poked Pepe's head with her finger and said with a smile, "Sora is just outrageous. He's sworn brothers with a dog for no reason. Doesn't he think about how his seniority will be in the future?"

"Wang!"

Peipei barked once, meaning that everyone should do their own thing. Qiong called it "Dog Brother," and it called Qiong "Master." That's all.

"You've been corrupted by Qiong; you're not allowed to play with him anymore."

Suppressing a laugh, Estella pinched Pepe's cheeks with both hands and said that the crisis at the space station had been resolved, and her mood had become much lighter. She secretly took a selfie with her phone and sent it to Sora. She didn't usually wear this hospital gown.

Qiong led Huang Quan back to the edge of the boundary anchor. As a passenger of the Starry Sky Train, he could activate the anchor at any time, while the others could only watch helplessly. After activating the anchor, a burst of pioneering light enveloped them, and the next moment they were back in the Starry Sky Train carriage.

"How did things go, Pa?"

When Pam saw Qiong return, he asked her a question. It seemed that he was already very proficient in using the Boundary Anchor.

"It's done. This feature is so convenient, conductor. I'll install it on my Bellberg next time."

Qiong happily picked up Pam. This train conductor is really useful. No wonder March Seven likes him so much. Qiong will have to rely on him a lot if he wants to be affectionate with his wives in the future.

"I really can't do anything with you. If you bring back Pinocchio's specialties to Ballfin in April, I'll do as you say."

Pam seemed to have gotten used to being held in someone's arms, and it didn't refuse Qiong's request, since anchor points could be created anytime anyway.

"No problem, as everyone knows, I'm so poor I only have money left."

Qiong patted his chest and promised that he would also bring Pam local specialties on March 7th, but Little March's allowance was limited. Qiong was different; he could buy a copy of everything he saw and would never let Pam down.

After saying goodbye to Pam, Qiong and Huang Quan left the Starry Sky Train and arrived at the Daydream Hotel in Pinocchio again. The receptionist was still Ellie. Actually, Qiong felt uneasy at this time. He had had such difficulty checking in before when he used Dan Heng's identity. Huang Quan had directly committed murder and robbery. How could he let her stay?

"The invitation is fine, the token is fine, here is your room key, please keep it safe."

After Ellie took the invitation and the music box and glanced at them, she handed the special room card for Pinocchio to Huang Quan without saying a word. This made Qiong's eyes widen, and she felt unfair treatment for the first time.

"How could this be?"

Qiong was completely baffled, and Huang Quan, of course, didn't know the connection either. She only knew that once she received the invitation, she could come and stay; the issues of guest rooms and other guests were not on her mind.

Because almost all the buildings here look exactly the same, Huang Quan's disorientation reached its peak. If Qiong hadn't been holding her hand and helping her find her room, she would have definitely wandered into someone else's room.

The Daydream Hotel has a very unique room door design. This place was originally a prison cell, but now the door frame has been changed to the style of a keyhole, and the door is a wooden board blocking the keyhole, which looks very distinctive.

Huang Quan opened the room with the room card. This place was different from a traditional hotel. Even though it had been renovated, the interior space had not been enlarged. So there was nothing in the luxury suite, such as a kitchen, bathroom, private cinema, or bedrooms of different sizes. The first thing you saw when you entered was a large pearl-colored seashell. It looked like a bed, but the seashell was filled with liquid. There was a sofa on the left side of the room and a TV and record player on the right side. Apart from these, you could see the whole room at a glance.

"What a strange place."

Qiong commented that people who didn't know the situation here would definitely be confused when they first came in. But unlike Qiong, who was born with a Venusian core, the other tourists who came to Pinocchio had spent half or even most of their life savings to afford a ticket. They had memorized all the travel guides before they came.

"I have traveled all over the universe for many years, and this is the first time I have seen a room like this."

Huang Quan also stated that at first glance, this room doesn't even have a place to sleep, but the most peculiar thing is actually the liquid inside the seashell.

Before coming to Pinocone, Pam mentioned memory matter and the many problems existing in this star system, but a genius combined these problems and turned waste into treasure, creating what is now called the Dream Pool.

A person simply lies inside the seashell, submerging most of their body in the liquid, and falls asleep, then begins to dream. In their dream, they experience the true Pinocchio metropolis, where everyone's dreams are interconnected. The dream world is a metropolis of Pinocchio, where people can only experience one thing: joyful revelry. They don't have to think about anything or worry about anything. The dream world will bring guests an unforgettable experience, and many people are so immersed in the dream that they don't want to leave.

That's why when the robin said goodbye to the dome, he told them to have a good dream, because there's no possibility of having nightmares in Pinocchio.

Qiong took out her dream manual and started reading it, as did Huang Quan. The two of them roughly understood what the Dream Pool was. Theoretically, this thing could only be used by one person.

Chapter 39 doesn't seem like a good person.

"I don't trust you. Let's use it together."

Qiong raised his hand and grasped Huang Quan's hand, saying that he couldn't leave her at this time, otherwise the two of them might not be able to meet in the dream. Given the splendor of the dream, he didn't know how Huang Quan would be found after being lost.

"Ah."

Huang Quan responded. She knew that Qiong would not leave her. Qiong cared about her so much and always chose to be with her. She didn't say it, but her heart was already completely with him.

“There is a type of person who possesses an unwavering will and belief, but does not intend to use it for the good. And on that Mr. Sand Gold’s face, I saw a familiar expression.”

Huang Quan suddenly spoke up, and Qiong was taken aback, realizing that she was reminding him not to trust that gold dust.

"If you carry a knife, you'll always use it to cut something down. And a gambler, when facing total defeat, will always go all in and make a desperate gamble."

Huang Quan stared at Qiong and continued, emphasizing the danger of Sand Gold. If Huang Quan had previously said that Sand Gold might be a fraud, now he was practically a madman.

“I understand. You mean that Sha Jin is not a good person, right? It’s okay, I’m here with you. If he dares to cause trouble, I’ll chop him up.”

Qiong nodded and said that he unconditionally believed his girlfriend. As he spoke, he hugged Huang Quan and kissed her hard on the face.

"Ah."

Huang Quan smiled faintly. She liked the feeling of being cared for by Qiong, and she was happy to accept his kisses. Their feelings for each other grew rapidly with each experience, but they had not yet explicitly said that they liked each other.

In another room, which should have been Qiong's guest room, Sand Gold stood motionless, his smile now somewhat stiff. He opened his pocket watch and looked at it, wondering where the Star Core Essence had gone.

Qiong and Huang Quan entered the Dream Pool together. Originally, he said he would take off all his clothes to go in. Huang Quan picked up the Dream Handbook, flipped to a certain page, and handed it to Qiong. Qiong was shocked when he saw it. It said that if you take off your clothes to enter the dream, you will also be naked in the dream, and you will be running naked in the street. He almost became a pervert.

The Dream Pool was designed so that you would enter fully clothed. Your clothes and shoes would be disinfected and cleaned before you entered, so there was no chance of getting the water dirty and turning your clothes into pickled vegetables.

After entering the Dream Pool, drowsiness overcame them. Just as Qiong was about to remark that these sleeping pills must be very popular, her consciousness had already drifted off to sleep. Huang Quan was the same. The two of them leaned their heads together and gradually fell into a dream.

When Qiong regained consciousness, he found himself falling, seemingly from a height of a hundred meters. The world below gradually became clearer; it was an incomparably magnificent metropolis. Even the most dazzling gold and glittering colors couldn't describe even a fraction of its splendor. The streets were filled with pedestrians of all races, and countless luxury cars sped by. The people who came here seemed to be cosmic celebrities, dressed in opulent clothes. Credit points were tossed out by the guests as if they were worthless paper. Looking down from above, Qiong suddenly felt that he understood the true meaning of the phrase "debauchery and extravagance."

Then Kyō discovered a problem: she didn't seem to have wings, so how was she supposed to land?

"Man!!!"

As the Pinocchio Plaza drew ever closer, Qiong only had time to shout before crashing into the ground, landing on her side with her arms and legs curled up, her fate unknown.

"Are you OK?"

A gentle voice, like the warm current of a hot spring, woke Qiong. He dusted himself off and sat up, immediately spotting the robin standing beside him, looking at him with concern.

"I just woke up and saw the woman I've been longing for. Am I dreaming?"

Qiong stared blankly at the robin. He had been thinking about the little bird, and he didn't expect to meet it so soon.

"This really is a dream, welcome to Pinocchio."

Robin wasn't angry when he heard Sora's slightly offensive words, because he had clearly been confused by the fall, but in reality, he hadn't fallen at all. Sora was just like that.

"It's you guys! What a coincidence!"

After Qiong stood up from the ground, he saw Robin and Sunday. What a coincidence! He just randomly found a place to land on his face and still managed to run into these two important people.

"We were discussing concert arrangements here when you suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

Robin said with a smile. Qiong thought for a moment and realized that before March 7th, Robin had said that before the start of the Harmony Festival, Robin would hold a concert in the dream for her fans.

"Is this how it is for other guests when they enter the dream?"

Qiong asked with some doubt. Although he was not injured, the process was still very strange. Qiong could fly with the power of the star core, but when he tried to use it before, he found that he could not use the power. This may be related to some rules.

"This is normal when you first come here. It's like when you're a beginner swimmer and you sink because you can't get used to the buoyancy. But once your body gets used to the current, you can float on the surface of the water freely."

On Sunday, he spread his palms out, his white gloves spotless on his hands. Qiong wondered what would happen if he dripped ink on them.

“Pinocone’s dream is essentially a world made of memory matter. Only by mastering its nature can you move freely within it.”

Robin chimed in, and she and Sunday worked together to give a general overview of the rules of the dream world.

"I see, thank you, Uncle...Brother Sunday."

Qiong nodded. She was originally going to thank her brother-in-law, but when Sunday suddenly exuded a murderous aura, Qiong obediently changed her address.

"Please enjoy the dreamland that the family has created for you. We'll have to take our leave now. Have fun!"

Robin smiled and said that she was not a naive little princess. Of course she could see that Qiong was interested in her and was constantly testing her brother's bottom line. The situation was actually quite interesting. Robin did not dislike this blatant pursuit. After all, she could not control other people's feelings. What she hated was people who were polite on the surface and praised her beauty and generosity, but secretly wanted to get her.

"I'm happy as long as you're here."

Qiong chuckled and said that Sunday finally couldn't help but glare at him. Qiong put his hands behind his head and whistled to the side, acting as if he wasn't afraid of his brother-in-law. Chasing his future wife from his sister-obsessed brother was a matter of life and death, and Qiong would not run away at the last minute.

Chapter 40 Sweating profusely, right?

After Robin and Sunday left, Sora touched her pocket and found that her phone had been taken into the dream world, and she even received a message from March 7.

Ice-cold beauty: Wow, that's amazing! You can even send messages in your dreams!

Ice-cold beauty: Have you arrived yet?
