I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Tingyun's mind was not on eating at all.

While following her instinctive expectations and staying by Hua Yi's side, she also tried to sort out her feelings and find out the reason.

This worry that he might just leave, disappear from sight, and leave the Luofu Immortal Ship is quite strange.

Am I the kind of person who gets seduced by male beauty and falls in love at first sight?

"I have prepared a separate residence for our distinguished guests, fully furnished and equipped. Is there anything else you would like to purchase?"

"I thought the Sky Ship Company would arrange for us to stay in an inn, or according to Liyue's terminology, a guesthouse. But it turns out to be a mansion—isn't that too much treatment?"

"The Immortal Ship welcomes guests from all directions. The pioneer of the Wandering Cloud Heavenly Lord is renowned far and wide, so there is no reason to neglect him."

Tingyun would not take the initiative to confess. According to the custom of Tianbo Company, no matter how prestigious the status of the guests from other places, they are usually arranged to stay in inns. There is no rule that a separate house should be set aside for them.

The mansion was registered under the fox-girl's own name and was not far from her residence.

Cough cough... lumps...

I, a mere young lady, absolutely had no bad intentions!

Chapter 313 Divination and Prediction: Determining Good or Bad Fortune

While the people of the Immortal Ship had already settled down for the night, the Sichen Palace remained brightly lit.

Yu Kong is in contact with the head of the Grand Diviner, who can predict the good and bad fortune of events.

She had previously shared with the other party without reservation the story of the train crew's visit to Luofu, which brought a crisis warning. Based on her past understanding, there should be results by now.

The Celestial Ship Bureau and the Grand Diviner Bureau, one managing the airspace, trade, and population movement of the celestial ships, and the other predicting the fortunes of events and calculating the future of voyages, often had official exchanges and cooperated with each other.

"Master Fu, regarding the Star Core Disaster mentioned by the Starry Sky Train, does the Grand Diviner have any leads?"

"The divination result is somewhat strange."

"...Ominous hexagram?"

"Turning misfortune into good fortune, great luck."

The voice of the divination master in the communication was clear and pleasant.

"The trigram Zhen above and Kan below, the useful line is the fourth line."

"Please, diviner, speak plainly."

"Zhen represents thunder, Kan represents water. When spring thunder roars, rain falls, and all things are freed from the cold winter. The fourth line of the hexagram says: 'When the thumb is untied, friends arrive with trust.'"

As fellow members of the Immortal Ship and having interacted with each other many times, Yu Kong naturally understood the other party's meaning.

"Luofu has hidden worries, but the Star Train is not an external threat, but a friend?"

"Exactly. There is another hexagram, Qian above Qian below, with the useful line 790, line 2, 'Dragon appears in the field, it is advantageous to see a great man.' If it were just a single star core, it would not be enough to make the hexagram inauspicious, nor would it require external forces to turn it into auspiciousness. As for great fortune..."

The Grand Diviner, who observes omens and inquires about the mysteries of the universe, and uses the ultimate numbers to know the future, is one of the few beings in the universe capable of discerning destiny. All the hexagrams have their basis and are by no means mere fabrications.

Divination based on the Luofu Immortal Boat: an inauspicious hexagram foretells great calamity, while a favorable hexagram signifies auspiciousness.

Initially, only a small portion of the power of the Qiong Guan Formation was used to verify the authenticity of the information. Later, when it was discovered that something was amiss, the Taibu Si used the full power of the Qiong Guan Formation to complete the calculation.

Even during the War of Abundance, when the battle was simulated with the participation of messengers, the Qiong Guan Zhen was able to produce results. However, this time, there was an anomaly in the middle, as if it was about to crash and collapse, but it quickly subsided, as if nothing had happened.

It's as if Qiong Guanzhen encountered something unpredictable, made a mistake, and then resolved it on its own.

You're already a seasoned expert in Qiong Guanzhen; you need to learn to handle bugs yourself and not rely on the Grand Diviner and the other diviners for everything.

The magical artifact is clearly ineffective.

Having a lazy bum under his command who's always causing him trouble, Fu Taibu isn't going to be too optimistic.

It can't be that the calculations of the Qiong Guan Formation involve celestial bodies with spirits, making it difficult to proceed, and then that such a sublime being noticed, not only did not get angry, but also kindly allowed the formation to continue.

After ruling out all incorrect answers, the Grand Diviner could only conclude that it was due to prolonged observation and that those in charge of internal divination should take better care of it. He then specifically named a certain slacker who was working overtime to check it.

"The results of the Qiong Guan Formation are infallible, and the two divination symbols have already been transmitted to the Divine Strategy Bureau."

"I arranged for Tingyun to receive the train crew, and they have already settled in on the Immortal Ship. The decision-maker in the team is not the navigator Himeko, but a young man named Hua Yi. He holds a prominent position on the Black Tower Space Station and once defended against an attack by the antimatter legion, but the specific details are unclear and seem to have been deliberately obscured by the Interstellar Peace Corporation."

"I have heard that the Minghuo Merchant Guild, led by Tingyun, is most adept at sifting out the value from all kinds of goods. This is in line with the way of divination, which allows one to see the potential in all things. It would be appropriate for her to receive them. In addition, I will also observe those people on the Starry Sky Train with my eye between my forehead."

"The train crew shared footage of the Star Core Hunters. Fu Taibu thinks we should launch a targeted investigation?"

"Hmph, that Kafka is indeed cunning. She used an encrypted frequency band and timed the communication perfectly, making it impossible to pinpoint her location. Unfortunately, she couldn't escape my discerning eye. The coordinates are here. Everything is up to you to decide." There was a machine noise behind the voice. I contacted the Engineering Department to identify the noise and confirmed that it was indeed the shipbuilding facilities at Echo Harbor.

Upon hearing this, Yu Kong seemed to be deep in thought.

"So, Kafka has already infiltrated the Celestial Ship and is currently at Starport?"

"Not only that. If she didn't have the habit of using an umbrella on a sunny day, it should have been raining where she was at the time. The wind, clouds, rain, and fog on the immortal ship are all artificially created scenery, under the command of the Earthly Balance Department's Wind and Rain Platform. I can naturally determine the area covered by the artificial rain clouds."

In just half a day, Luo Fu completed the process from receiving the message to digesting it, reacting to it, and then producing the results.

The efficiency is terrifying.

The Star Core Hunters have indeed gained fame in the universe for a reason.

Despite the Interstellar Peace Corporation's hefty bounty on their head, they haven't caught anyone yet. Among them, Silver Wolf is a top-tier hacker who can help Kafka bypass scrutiny and infiltrate the Immortal Ship.

However, this is, after all, the [hunting] headquarters, not a place where you can come and go as you please.

"Whether the news about the Star Core Hunter is a prophecy, or a discovery, or even a deliberate attempt to create a crisis in Luofu, we will know once we capture Kafka."

"In the footage, she didn't show any particular relationship with the people on the train, but the fact that she chose the Star Train instead of other forces to deliver the message to us might have some unusual meaning."

"Treat guests with courtesy and punish enemies; everything must wait until the truth is found."

The communication has ended.

Having received the divination answer from the Grand Diviner, Yu Kong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat at ease.

She received news that Tingyun, for some reason, had arranged a residence for Hua Yi and his group, with their residences very close to each other.

If the train crew had ulterior motives and took Tingyun hostage, threatening her life, how could Yu Kong feel at ease?

It's good that the problem isn't with the Star Train.

However, the celestial ship escaped danger and turned good...

Ultimately, misfortune will ensue, and external assistance will be needed; the benefactor will most likely be an anonymous stranger.

I had just stated on behalf of Luofu that the Immortal Ship Alliance had its own means of sealing the star core, and politely declined their goodwill. If everything is as the divination indicates, then I have acted on my own initiative and made a grave mistake.

A crisis is often accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice.

Recalling some past events, Yu Kong's expression darkened. He simply stayed at his desk in Si Chen Palace until late at night. Fortunately, he managed to free up some time the next day to reconfirm the train crew's attitude and whether his words and actions had caused dissatisfaction.

It would also be good to see what's going on with that kid Tingyun.

To be fair, the coffee brewed by the train navigator Himeko was a bit bitter, but its energizing effect was top-notch.

Politely finishing the espresso instead of waiting for the train crew to leave and asking someone to throw it away has already proven beneficial.

Chapter 314 Hua Yi wasn't in a hurry, but Ting Yun was eager to deliver food and drinks.

Changing my sleeping place doesn't affect Xingye Xihuayi's sleep.

What's the big deal about a night raid between an old married couple? It's just normal to stick to each other.

This is not Cripperburg.

But precisely because it wasn't like that, with Sylva and Bronya absent, Xing felt she should bring their share of the battle with her.

Flame gun, charge!

However, it was Hua Yi who had the gun.

The day-night cycle simulated by the fairy boat appeared on time, with the moon setting and the sun rising, and the warm sunlight shining down, which was slightly different from when they were in Belleburg.

The windows here are not double-glazed, and the curtains are significantly thinner, giving a light and airy feel. There is no snow falling in the sky, which is quite different from the scenery of Winter City.

What remains the same is that Xing still adheres to the principle of sleeping until she naturally wakes up.

"You've only been in Luofu for two days, and you're already living the life of a pampered young lady who never gets out of bed?"

"Hmm...it's all your fault." The girl didn't even open her eyes, her voice lazy and indistinct.

She remained relaxed in her reclining position, unlike her usual self, who sometimes stood with her hands on her hips displaying her astonishing wisdom and sometimes wielded a baseball bat with imposing grandeur. At this moment, she was completely unguarded, like an adorable animal.

A tall raccoon.

"I'm going to take a long nap, and after I wake up I'll play on my phone and check the messages in the group chat—you don't have to stay with me all the time."

sure?

You're holding my arm down, you don't even intend to move your body.

Hua Yi found it amusing but didn't offer any advice.

After a while, Xing finally remembered. She kept her eyes closed, rolled over on the bed, and let her lover pull his hand away.

Fine.

The Star Train arrives at a new station, exploring the world and learning about various cultures. This is the relatively easy part of the journey. The Immortal Ship is still calm and peaceful, and Xing, March 7th, and Himeko can spend their days leisurely, doing what they want to do.

As for Hua Yi himself—

I tiptoed out of the bedroom and into the study.

The residence prepared by Tingyun is quiet and elegant, fully furnished with all kinds of furniture, as well as many calligraphy, paintings and porcelain.

Considering this is the Luofu Immortal Ship, the land owned by a super powerful force must be extremely valuable. Converting the mansion into credits would be an astonishing amount.

As the ferryman of the Tianbo Bureau and the representative of the Minghuo Merchant Guild, Tingyun has the characteristics of a female CEO like Toppa, and also has the wealthy woman attributes similar to Estella.

She was just very tactful and diplomatic, but didn't project the image of a strong, independent woman.

Hua Yi casually picked up a clean cloth and began wiping the Divine Fall Sword that had been sitting in the study all night. He immersed himself in the task, using the illusion imprisoned within the greatsword to analyze the path of destruction.

There's no need to deliberately stir up trouble; the very existence of the Great Lord of Annihilation is an excellent sample for observation.

The restriction of having his eyes and ears closed was lifted slightly, and Huanlong immediately noticed.

But she did not struggle, intending to create giant waves that would erode the coastline in her destiny, break through the blockade of the Godfall Sword, and even remain unchanged despite knowing that this transcendent being who could easily suppress the envoy was observing [Destruction] in a terrifying way.

This is tantamount to silent compliance.

"Besides [Destruction], the Luofu Immortal Ship also has [Hunting] and [Abundance]."

Huanlong took the initiative to speak.

While Hua Yi was analyzing her fate of destruction, she was also trying to understand the other party.

Although he didn't quite understand why such a powerful being would waste time with the ants on the train and the immortal ship, Huanlong believed that he had obtained a lot of valuable information.

"With trust collapsed and hope abandoned, the day Luofu is in chaos, the fates of the Hunting and the Abundant Path will take on a more distinct form."

"Do you think I deliberately ignored your scheme and didn't ask questions in order to analyze my destiny?"

"..."

"Following this line of thought, you cooperated with me in observing [destruction], and even took the initiative to strike up a conversation, mentioning the benefits to me from the impending chaos on the Immortal Ship. What were you trying to exchange? No need to answer, I can guess. It seems that I used the torrent of imaginary numbers to drown your illusory body, leaving you with considerable psychological trauma."

As Qu Shou flicked the Divine Meteor Sword, Hua Yi's lips curled into a smile with great interest.

"At the same time, new ideas emerged."

"!"

"The messenger of destruction, yearning for an immortal body, originally set his sights on the abundant miracles aboard the Luofu Immortal Ship. But plans change faster than expected—you were captured by me, yet you discovered another possibility within the torrent that engulfed you. It possesses the power to destroy the Great Lord of Annihilation; could it also be the formidable strength to resist [destruction]?"

"...It seems that [Intelligence] was also analyzed back when we were at the Black Tower Space Station."

"Despite being a prisoner, he's quite quick-witted."

Huanlong is dedicated to destroying spirits, and his own wisdom is enough to manipulate countless living beings at will.

Even though her thoughts were known, it didn't stop her from pushing forward with her new plan.

"Cooperate with me, using Luofu as the battlefield. I will personally demonstrate the principles of destruction, allowing you to observe more closely without affecting your becoming the savior worshipped by the ants. When I resurrect the Jianmu tree and refine it into an immortal divine substance, the true meaning of abundance will also be manifested. From beginning to end, the enemy of [Hunting] is the Great Lord of Annihilation."
