From the beginning to the rise

For the people of Xianzhou, the Lantern Festival is a very important festival.

Returning home and reuniting with families has always been the theme of the Spring Festival.

It is in this tone that the workload of Tianbosi surges at this time of year.

After all, Luofu is a world ship with a population of hundreds of billions, and its size far exceeds that of ordinary planets.

Normally, most people stay at home and seldom move around, but now, during the annual Lantern Festival, people from Luofu are all boarding their rafts to go home.

The Tianbosi happened to be in charge of the Xingcha. Let's put aside whether the other staff members of the Tianbosi could leave or not, but Yukong, the helmsman, really couldn't leave.

From the day the Lunar New Year began until the second day of the new year, Yukong had basically not slept a wink and had almost completely lost the concept of time.

Under normal circumstances, the helmsman would be very busy during the Lunar New Year, but he would also have time to rest.

However, in order to allow other people in Tianbosi to enjoy the festival, Yukong even took over the work of others.

"Luo Zhen..."

Tingyun pulled Luo Zhen beside her. She felt a little regretful for coming to disturb Yukong at this time.

A rash visit would only seem to add to Yukong's workload.

Tingyun wanted to take Luo Zhen away, and then go forward to share the work with Yukong. As for the visit, he could do it another day.

However, unlike Tingyun, Luo Zhen had different ideas.

It was just a matter of a moment, and Yukong fell down softly, lying on the table.

Luo Zhen flashed to appear beside Yukong, carefully helped him up, and then disappeared with Yukong. Also missing was Tingyun, who came with Luo Zhen.

The other staff members in Sichen Palace stared in a daze at Yukong who had disappeared.

After a long while, a relatively young staff member was the first to react and exclaimed loudly:

"Master Yukong has been assassinated! Seal off the scene!"

"Stupid! What the hell is this about being assassinated? Didn't you see that the man came with Miss Tingyun? Don't say anything, just pretend you didn't see anything."

Another more experienced employee slapped the young employee on the head, stopping him from howling.

"...But what about the official duties that Lord Yukong is in charge of?"

"Ask yourself, is that something Lord Yukong should be responsible for?"

"Since it's our turn to be on duty today, let's work overtime and handle the work of those on leave. When we're on leave, we can let them handle our work."

As the helmsman of the Tianbo Division, Yukong has a gentle temperament, is experienced in handling affairs, and is friendly to his subordinates. He is very popular in the entire Tianbo Division, second only to Tingyun.

Yukong was suddenly taken away, and the remaining employees in Sichen Palace were a little panicked at first.

But with the suggestions of several older employees, a consensus was quickly reached.

Just pretend you didn't see it and let Lord Yukong have a good rest. We can handle the official business together.

......

Xingcha Sea, in Tingyun’s residence.

Considering that there are still two idiots at home who are not sure whether they are awake or not, taking Yukong back rashly may cause misunderstandings between them. Luo Zhen doesn't know where Yukong's home is.

So, Luo Zhen finally placed Yukong in Tingyun's home, or rather, Tingyun's previous residence in Xingcha Sea.

If you really want to dig deeper, this seems to be the place where Luo Zhen and Ting Yun first met. Well, this bed is also very familiar.

Luo Zhen gently placed Yukong on Tingyun's bed, then stood up and followed Tingyun out of the room.

"My benefactor... Is Lady Yukong okay? Why did she suddenly faint?"

Maybe it was because he was revisiting the old place, or maybe it was because he was recalling the memories in the room, in the corridor, and on the railing, Tingyun started to address Luo Zhen as "benefactor" again after a long time.

Of course, he didn’t think too much about the mess. What Tingyun was most concerned about at the moment was Yukong’s physical condition.

Her haggardness when they first met and her sudden fainting made Tingyun worried.

"It's okay, she's just a little overworked. I've helped her quickly enter sleep mode."

"Let her get some sleep. Don't worry about the work at Tianbosi. I'll go and help take care of it. It won't take more than an hour. It's still early, so don't worry."

"...Go early and come back early, benefactor~"

If Luo Zhen hadn't said it, Tingyun really wouldn't have known that Yukong was knocked unconscious by Luo Zhen.

From her perspective, Luo Zhen came to Yukong instantly after Yukong fainted, and then took Yukong and himself away.

I thought that Lord Yukong was ill, but I didn't expect it was due to Luo Zhen's forced rest.

After Luo Zhen left, Tingyun walked back to the room, moved a bench and sat beside the bed, quietly accompanying Yukong.

【Master Yukong is still so handsome! 】

Looking at Yukong's sleeping face, Tingyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At the same time, my thoughts drifted back to decades ago, no, it should be hundreds of years ago.

Tingyun has been extraordinary since he was young.

Because of their nature and talents, most foxes are naughty, playful, and energetic when they are young.

But Tingyun is different.

Tingyun has had a gentle personality and a soft appearance since he was a child.

At the same age, other fox cubs are still pulling out the hair of everyone they meet and enjoying destroying houses.

Only Tingyun, even if his hair was pulled out, could still show others an innocent smile and persuade others to stop in a childish voice.

Tingyun's temper really made her parents, who were both military officers in the Tianbo Division and had a son in their old age, anxious. They hoped that someone could inherit the family business.

Fortunately, Tingyun's parents still loved her. After several unsuccessful attempts, they finally gave up the idea and let their child develop freely.

As this business developed, a dazzling new star appeared in Luofu's trade history.

Little Tingyun had already made a career before he even reached adulthood.

But traveling merchants are always prone to danger. Tingyun and Yukong first met during a traveling merchant experience.

At that time, the Xingcha that Tingyun was riding on broke down and was about to crash over the Xingcha Sea.

At that time, Yukong, who was young and strong, didn't care about speeding or not, and drove the Star Raft to carry out a nano rescue.

That year, Yukong was 140 years old and Tingyun was 15 years old.

Because of his personality, Tingyun is not suitable to be a warrior of the Tianbosi, nor is he suitable for the Star Chariot, but this does not mean that Tingyun hates the sky.

On the contrary, after that day, Yukong became a shining idol and a guiding sign in Tingyun's heart. It is no exaggeration to say that Tingyun was brought up by Yukong.

Later, when Yukong became the helmsman of Tianbosi, Tingyun also joined Tianbosi with his own efforts.

Now, time flies.

Tingyun had long since become the chief representative of the Tianbosi Merchant Group and the Tianbosi's ferry envoy. He and Yukong had been working together in the Tianbosi for more than 30 years.

The two of them are in a relationship of both teacher and friend. Yukong wants to hand over the position of helmsman to Tingyun, but Tingyun doesn't know whether he is qualified.

After all, all the previous helmsmen were ace pilots and warriors who had experienced many trials and tribulations.

Although Yukong had made up his mind to leave his future to her, Tingyun himself was not ready.

She was unwilling to take over the position of helmsman, not only because she felt she was unsuitable, but also because she was unwilling to acknowledge Yukong's aging.

The lifespan of fox people is mostly over three hundred years.

As the Lunar New Year passed, Yukong became 247 years old.

In Yukong's own words, half of his body is already buried in the ground and it is time for him to retire.

Despite her racial characteristics, Yukong still looks young and beautiful.

However, Yukong really only has a few decades left...

Of course, considering that the fox people’s lifespan is only more than 300 years, a few decades is actually not a short time, and Tingyun had never considered this issue before.

Until today, when Tingyun directly saw the fatigue revealed by Yukong, Tingyun inevitably thought of the scene of Yukong's departure.

After his parents passed away, Tingyun was in a negative state for a long time.

At that time, Yukong was probably the only person left who was like a relative to her, and she gradually came out with his company.

Now, although he has a new family, Tingyun doesn't want to go through the same pain again.

Longevity, longevity!

Tingyun believed that even with the current immortal boat, even with those who devoutly believed in the Emperor Bow Sima Ming.

Everyone has had the thought of immortality to a greater or lesser extent.

Not only for yourself, but also for the people around you, the important people, and your loved ones!

Tingyun suddenly had a bad idea.

This is an idea that the kind-hearted Xiao Guizi and Su Shang can accept, Luo Zhen may be willing to accept, but Yukong will never accept.

Since Su Chang couldn't control her mouth, Luo Zhen had no intention of hiding these things.

So, last night, I stayed up all night.

Tingyun understood the reason for Suchang's distress, why Suchang became energetic again, and why his body was getting stronger.

If there is one more, will Luo Zhen be willing?

I looked at Yukong’s sleeping face, his heroic features, his heart that was about to burst out, and his perfect pair of long legs.

Tingyun felt that Luo Zhen would most likely be willing, or at least willing to try to develop the relationship.

But, how should I persuade Lord Yukong?

Tingyun felt a little headache.

As far as she knew, Yukong had never had any love scandals and had always been single.

But Yukong has an adopted daughter.

Moreover, at Yukong’s age now, the idea of ​​that has probably faded a long time ago. Even if it still exists, he would not be willing to delay others as he often mocks himself for being old.

Not to mention, Yukong knew clearly that he and Luo Zhen had a close relationship.

Alas, it’s difficult!

Or, why not just give up on it and try a more direct approach?

Some evil plans gradually emerged in Tingyun's mind.

However, before implementing it, Xiao Guizi's consent must be obtained first.

The fox girl is good at dealing with people, and her thoughtfulness is not just talk.

......

On the other hand, on the way back to Sichen Palace, Luo Zhen also captured an acquaintance.

"Brother, Brother Luo Zhen!"

"I'm about to win that hand! Can you let me go back first, and I'll go with you after I finish that round?"

"Don't think about it. I've seen it for you. You can't win with that card. You'll just be giving away money if you go back. You'd better come with me honestly. As for going back, I'm afraid you can't go back today."

Can't go back today?

Hearing this, Qingque, who was caught from the card table by Luo Zhen, couldn't help but secretly glance at Luo Zhen a few times.

Perhaps it was Qingque's illusion. After not seeing him for a few days, Luo Zhen's attraction seemed to have reached a new level.

They suddenly wanted to take her away and had no intention of letting her go back.

Could it be that... after the last incident, Luo Zhen finally realized the charm of girls of my body type and is planning to accept the advice I gave him a long time ago?

For a moment, Qingque was lost in thought.

193 Is this the way to exploit the labor force?

The day was bright and the wind was gentle. It was the Spring Festival, and also the annual long holiday of the Taibusi.

For Qingque, there is no day more perfect than this. It is a time she looks forward to every year, a time when she can play cards openly and do whatever she wants.

So, I beat Dihuan Qiongyu in the morning, beat Dihuan Qiongyu at noon, and beat Dihuan Qiongyu in the evening.
