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

"This trip wasn't originally planned, but that woman Ruan Mei is too much. I wonder if she'll be pleasantly surprised to see me, and that Qiong boy too."

The Great Black Tower nodded to Estelle to indicate that she had heard, and then began to talk about Ruan Mei and Qiong, that pair of like-minded lovers. She, the Great Black Tower, hated being provoked the most. If someone dared to try to steal her away, then the only thing she could do was to take them back herself.

Chapter 194 Magical Girl Daikoku Tower

Inside Ruan Mei's laboratory, the two were taking a break. Qiong used his influence and begged Ruan Mei for two whole hours before finally getting her to wear an apron to make him pastries—a look that men all understand.

Looking at Ruan Mei, who was making pastries in a white apron, Qiong felt as if he were still dreaming in Pinocchio. Such a perfect beauty was cooking for him while wearing an apron. As a man, he had no regrets in this life.

Just as Qiong was waiting for his wife to serve the pastries, the locked laboratory door opened automatically to the side, and a tall, well-proportioned woman walked in. Even from a distance, Qiong could tell that she was a stunning beauty, and his gaze immediately fell on her.

"Is there such a person on the space station?"

Qiong stood up and pulled Ruan Mei behind him, taking off his long coat and draping it over her shoulders. Although the uninvited guest was also a woman, Qiong couldn't bear to let others see his wife like that; it was an outfit that was only for him to see.

"Hey, Ruan Mei, I never thought you'd be dressed like this in your life. Looks like you really like this brat."

Daheita came to Qiong's side and spoke to Ruan Mei, who was standing to the side behind him. Daheita tapped his hat lightly with his index finger, his tone full of pleasure.

"What are you doing here?"

Ruan Mei glanced coldly at the Great Black Tower. Of course, she knew the question was a rhetorical one; she had known all along that the Great Black Tower would come in person.

"Of course, we'll take this kid to test the simulated universe."

Daheita Weiyiqi (1) Siba Yue-yi said with a smile, then shifted her gaze from Ruan Mei to the bewildered Qiong.

"Kid Qiong, if you go and test the simulated universe, I'll give you a reward."

The big black tower said confidently. She had long since figured out what kind of person Qiong was. As long as it was related to her older sister, and there was the word "reward," he couldn't refuse at all.

"You, you are... Black, Black, Black, Black Tower?"

Qiong pointed at the Great Black Tower, his jaw dropping in astonishment. The image of the Black Tower doll in his mind gradually merged with the beauty before him. Wasn't this exactly what the doll would look like after it grew up?

"What, you're not calling me Grandma anymore?"

The Great Black Tower asked with a smile, "When Qiong was desperately calling her grandma before, she said that she wasn't an old lady. Although she might be in terms of age... but that's impossible. A beautiful girl's age is a secret forever."

"Cough, I, Qiong, swear by my real name that I have never called Black Tower Grandma. That was all nonsense made up by the people around me."

Qiong stared blankly at the Black Tower for a long while, then suddenly raised her hand to assure him that she had never said such a thing, the meaning of which was naturally worth pondering.

"going or not?"

The Black Tower didn't expose Qiong's little thoughts. Before they met, of course, Qiong could call the Black Tower "Grandma" at will, and she had always imagined the Black Tower as a kind and gentle old lady. But now it's different. She can't call such a beautiful girl "Grandma" anymore, otherwise how can she marry her?

"Of course I'll go, I'll go right now. I love testing simulated universes, I was born to test simulated universes."

Qiong patted his chest and said, and Ruan Mei, upon hearing this, grabbed his wrist with a stern face, her meaning already very clear.

“Ruan Mei, don’t stop me. Ms. Black Tower has raised me. She just wants to test the simulated universe. As her adopted child, I can’t forget my roots. We’ll contact each other again later.”

Qiong said to Ruan Mei in a serious tone, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he put a few pieces of the pastries that Ruan Mei had made into his mouth and took the rest to eat on the way. He was reluctant to waste his wife's good intentions.

"Hahaha, it feels so good to snatch something from you, Nguyen Mai. Even though it was originally mine."

A smug smile appeared on the face of the Great Black Tower. Everything was going exactly as she had planned. As long as her true form was involved, there was nothing she couldn't handle. Under Ruan Mei's unfriendly gaze, the Great Black Tower pulled Qiong away and headed towards the location of the simulated universe.

"Black Tower, I never expected you to be like this. You are so beautiful. You are truly stunning, a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, a fate that would take dozens of lifetimes to bring me together."

Qiong stared at the Great Black Tower with a fascinated expression. He really hadn't expected the Great Black Tower's true form to look like this. Although there was a digital photo of her in the office, it didn't look much different from the Black Tower doll. Now that he saw her in person, dressed in gray pantyhose and high heels, Qiong wished he could become the leg ring on her leg and wrap it up for her.

"Hmm, a little more praise is fine, kid."

Daheita laughed happily. Although she was not young, she liked to hear people praise her like that. However, many people were afraid of her genius and dared not say such direct things. They mostly used words of praise to describe her intelligence. In fact, she preferred to be praised for her beauty.

"I've noticed you've been single for a long time. Don't you feel empty, lonely, and cold when you sleep at night? I'm also afraid of the dark when I sleep, so why don't we sleep together?"

Qiong's old habit struck again. He raised his hand to put it on the smooth shoulder of the Great Black Tower and put his arm around her, but a mirror appeared in front of his hand. Qiong's hand passed through the mirror and landed on his own shoulder.

"?"

Qiong was stunned. He tried massaging his own shoulders and found that the massage felt pretty good, which proved that it wasn't an illusion.

"Is this also a genius invention?" Qiong asked in confusion.

"No, it's magic."

The Great Black Tower glanced at Qiong and said confidently, "This has completely stumped Qiong."

"You're a researcher, and you're telling me you use magic?"

Qiong looked at the Great Black Tower with a puzzled expression and asked. He was rather unclear about the boundaries between science and magic, but judging from the setup of this space station, it was clearly a scientific project. Otherwise, it would have been a castle or a treehouse or something similar.

“Who told you I was a believer in science? Actually, I prefer magic,” the Great Black Tower said.

"...If it's magic, then rejuvenation is easy to understand."

Qiong thought about it carefully and felt that what the Black Tower said wasn't really worth making a fuss about. If she said it was true, then so be it. As long as she was happy.

Qiong raised his other hand and secretly reached towards the buttocks of the Great Black Tower, wanting to see what the blind spot looked like. As he expected, his hand ended up slapping his own buttocks.

"You brat, do you really not know what respect is? You seduced Ruan Mei like this too?"

The Great Black Tower pointed at Qiong and said, she was really speechless. Everyone else was respectful to her puppets, let alone her real body. Who would dare to treat her like this? But Qiong was lawless and dared to do anything. Today she had witnessed it firsthand.

Chapter 195 Embracing Both

“That’s not right. My wife Ruan Mei and I are in love. How can that be called seduction?”

Qiong corrected Daheita's words, adding a touch of pure love to her and Ruan Mei's relationship.

"Heh, I've given you a chance to reward yourself. Think carefully about how to use it."

The Great Black Tower chuckled mockingly. She was different from Ruan Mei. Ruan Mei was a researcher of life, and it could be said that she reluctantly went to have children with Qiong. But the Great Black Tower had no interest in the research of life, and she was now a near-immortal human, so of course she didn't need offspring to take care of her in her old age.

"Hmm... what I want as a reward is for you and me to test a simulated universe together."

Qiong didn't think for long before directly stating the reward she needed. It was related to the Great Black Tower, which surprised her as she hadn't anticipated it.

"Why is it this? I thought you would definitely ask me to study my body or something like that."

"So you could have agreed to that? I regret it so much!"

When Qiong heard the Great Black Tower say such things, she knew she had missed a great opportunity. She was filled with regret and beat her chest in frustration, but she quickly recovered.

"Okay, actually I was thinking of bringing people into the simulated universe to test together. No one is more suitable for hands-on experience than you, the creator. Besides, I want to spend more time with you. Testing the simulated universe by myself is too boring."

"Great idea, this genius will grant your request."

The Great Black Tower thought this matter was reliable; it was a rare instance of Qiong speaking human language. She also wanted to see for herself what her simulated universe was like.

"Black Tower, why is your hat so pointy?"

"Then let me ask you, then let me ask you."

The two chatted idly until they arrived at the Black Tower's office. It was quiet and deserted, which was perfect for the Black Tower, since the two of them could test the simulated universe anyway.

"My dear Black Tower, you'll be the main damage dealer, and I'll provide support. I'll make sure you get plenty of Harmony Power."

After entering the familiar simulation space, Qiong looked at the large black tower beside him. He was too lazy to switch his destiny path, so he used the Harmonious Destiny Path as a support, believing that the large black tower would do a good job.

"Where do you see me as a damage dealer? Although I am indeed a combat type."

Daheita had no objection to her dealing damage herself; she had been cooped up at home for too long, and her body would rust if she didn't get some exercise.

"You can use magic, so you're definitely different from Ruan Mei. Magical girls can fight monsters, of course. If you can't even fight monsters, then the only path you can take is to give away fan service and get humiliated by the villains?"

Qiong shrugged and said.

"I couldn't refute it."

The Great Black Tower had no objections and, with Qiong's assistance, began testing the simulated universe. Then, Qiong's eyes were blinded by a magical cannon—a real magical cannon. Countless mirrors appeared around the Black Tower, each containing a reflection of her true form. Then, all the Great Black Towers raised their key-shaped staffs and unleashed a devastating attack on the monsters within the simulated universe.

"What kind of ability is this? The Celestial Venerable of Wisdom?"

Qiong's expression was as if he had seen a ghost. He was quite curious about how the Great Black Tower fought, but this woman's fighting style was indeed unexpected. The attacks she unleashed were not only powerful, but also very beautiful, full of dreamlike colors. However, for the enemy, it was a catastrophic disaster.

"Didn't I say it was magic?"

The Great Black Tower raised its right hand and gently brushed its long hair aside. Then, it swung its right hand back, and in this gesture, rainbow-colored lines could be seen being caught in its right hand before being thrown towards the enemy in front of it.

This attack seemed to be more powerful than the previous magic cannon. When it was thrown out, the surrounding space showed signs of fragmentation. The powerful ice attribute force, along with the fragments, smashed into the enemy. The poor enemy was reduced to ashes before he could even scream.

"Hmm, this is the first time I've ever seen someone throw dandruff at someone."

Qiong nodded and said that the attacks of the Great Black Tower were all elegant and cool. When the light exploded, it also created a sky full of colorful stars, which was really too dreamlike.

Upon hearing this, the Great Black Tower raised an eyebrow and pointed the large key in its hand at Qiong.

"But Black Tower's dandruff smells good too, so throw it at me."

Qiong immediately changed his tune, saying that he was joking and didn't want to be hit by the magic cannon of the Great Black Tower. With that kind of attack, if he got hit, he would be stuck in the air forever.

"Hey, I'm not saying this to be mean, but Qiong, your strength is too low. You should go up and fight instead."

The Great Black Tower strolled leisurely through the simulated universe, effortlessly annihilating any monsters she encountered. She couldn't help but start complaining about Qiong's Harmonious Power.

"If I go up and hit your magic cannon, I'll be blasted away along with you."

"Anyway, there are no friendly fire attacks in the simulated universe, so you won't die."

"It must hurt!"

"Your crutch is terrible. Have you ever teamed up with Ruan Mei? Her support abilities are just awful."

Daheita kept mentioning Ruan Mei, which made Qiong begin to suspect that this woman might have ulterior motives towards his wife. That was the wife he had worked hard to win over, and he would never give her up to Daheita.

"He's a Wisdom Envoy, and I'm just a nobody. How can I compare?" Qiong said in despair.

"Why don't you find a way to lure her over to test the simulated universe together? That would solve the problem."

The Black Tower revealed her true purpose: she didn't actually find the simulated universe boring, but she thought it would be more interesting to have that scheming and wicked woman, Ruan Mei, join in.

"So that's what you were planning. I think it'll be difficult."

Qiong stroked his chin and said that he knew what kind of personality Ruan Mei had. Her interest in the simulated universe was limited to adding some faulty programs to it. She would rather raise cats and bake in the laboratory than play with the simulated universe.

"Don't give up! You're Ruan Mei's husband," Da Heita encouraged.

"Yes, this title is good, I like it."

"I actually admire you a lot, kid. You're just an ordinary Star Core, yet you managed to win over a woman like Ruan Mei. You're the pride of the Star Core family. Even your father, whom you've never met, would be very pleased to know about your feat. He might even let you inherit the family business."

The big black tower continued to coax Qiong like a child, and as she talked, she laughed herself. What was all this nonsense? She found it hard to imagine what it would be like for Qiong to inherit the family business.

"Hehe, why are you speaking such obvious truths? I'll go back and try bringing Ruan Mei with me for testing."

Qiong was flattered by the praise and quickly fell for it. Under the encouragement of the Great Black Tower, he planned to bring Ruan Mei to be tested later. This would certainly be beneficial to him. He couldn't even imagine how comfortable it would be to have Ruan Mei on his left and the Great Black Tower on his right.

Chapter 196 A Date with a Little Bird

Until the space station's closing time, Qiong was testing the simulated universe with the Great Black Tower. After countless tests, she finally obtained the data she wanted, and only then did Qiong leave work and return to the Starry Sky Train.

"Passenger, there is a letter for you."

Pam walked unsteadily to Sora's side and handed him a letter. Sora was curious about who was sending him the letter. After thanking Pam, he sat down on the sofa and opened it to read.

The letter had a familiar scent. Qiong would never forget the fragrance of his wife. It was the scent left by Liuying, and she was the one who wrote the letter. Qiong suddenly had a bad feeling.

【Ah Qiong, I'm sorry to say goodbye in such a retro way. By the time you read this letter, I should already be fighting somewhere far away from you in a star system. Star Core Hunters don't have many vacations. This trip to Pinocchio successfully sealed the Star Core and left us with many wonderful memories.】

[Just now, Elio asked me to go back to carry out a new mission. Although I want to stay with you, I can't forget my duty as a hunter. Thanks to you for curing my illness, I can fight without holding back. Once I complete this mission, I will definitely come back to find you immediately. Yours truly—Firefly.]

Qiong sighed after closing the letter. He hadn't expected Liuying to leave without saying goodbye. It seemed the matter was really urgent. This was always the case with the Star Core Hunters' missions, and he couldn't force them. Fortunately, Liuying wasn't going to be gone for long. Judging from the efficiency of the Star Core Hunters' missions, she should be back in a few days. Liuying had specified that she would come back to spend time with Qiong during her vacation, so it would probably be the same in the future.

Qiong was sad for about ten seconds because of Liuying's departure, and then he went off to play with the robin. There was no way around it; as the king of the harem, he certainly couldn't devote all his attention to one person. Managing his time well was his most important responsibility.

"My dear little bird, it's been so long since we last petted. What have you been up to these past few days?"

After finding Robin, Qiong took her hand and said, "I've been in a lot of contact with Ruan Mei these past few days, and I've forgotten that Robin's appearance and temperament are in no way inferior to Ruan Mei's. I can even trick such beautiful women into coming home as my wives. I can't help but smile happily every time I meet them."

"I just took a look around the space station. Because of you, both geniuses were willing to talk to me, which taught me a lot."

Robin smiled and said that she had gotten used to life on the space station. She had been to many places, but this was the first time she had stayed for so long in an area with so many researchers. Moreover, there were two geniuses here, Black Tower and Screw Goom. Even if they only answered Robin's questions in their spare time, it made her realize just how complicated this world was.

"Hmm, it seems you've benefited greatly from this, that's good."

Qiong smiled and hugged the robin's soft body, then pulled her toward the train's teleportation point, where they could use their pioneering power to teleport. He had already figured out how to play with the robin.

"Come on, I'll take you to play on the Azure Star below."

"Want to go have fun? But what about my identity..."
