I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Wearing a small crown, with two neatly combed strands of deep blue hair reaching her waist, and a pair of bright, golden eyes, she was beautiful and lovely.

She even had a string of prawns in her mouth, eating while moving a chair, which somehow transformed the lively spirit in her eyes into a charmingly naive one.

"Yun Li! You child, how can you not be tempted to eat while doing chores?"

"Grandpa, you didn't say I couldn't eat anything before... This is a bird skewer I bought myself on the street, that's why I didn't steal any of the food on the table."

Feeling helpless, Huaiyan introduced Huayi to the person beside him.

"This is my grand-disciple Yunli. She is shy and timid, so please forgive her for any rudeness."

Is being shy and reserved a sign of being timid and reserved?

Hua Yi didn't try to control his expression and immediately broke into a smile.

“I am a guest, and General Jingyuan and General Huaiyan are the hosts. If the hosts are too polite, Ji 797, Xing, and I will not be able to eat properly and will feel constrained while eating. With the general’s lively granddaughter leading the way, everyone can relax a bit. There is no way we can be considered impolite.”

"Alright, don't hold back, you... um, everyone, please sit wherever you like and eat as much as you like."

Huaiyan, with a kind and benevolent expression, gestured to the rest of the train crew, disregarding the distinction between upper and lower seats and abandoning the etiquette of the Xianzhou (Immortal Boat) in entertaining guests.

However, he didn't move an inch, standing smiling beside Hua Yi, his attitude perfectly clear.

Wherever Hua Yi sits, Huai Yan sits next to him. The host and guest are either seated at the head of the table or at the foot of the table. This is a way to strike a balance between etiquette and casualness, and it also makes the atmosphere more intimate.

It is said that old people are wise and shrewd. Even though Jing Yuan was known as the Shence General, he secretly admired the old general's considerations.

Something's getting increasingly wrong.

If this continues, Himeko suspects that Di Gongtian will abduct Hua Yi in an incredibly natural way.

As the train navigator, I have to do something.

Ren Xing and San Yueqi excitedly took their seats, picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating. Ji Zilian moved lightly to Hua Yi's right side, and with him as the center, she faced off against the generals of the immortal boat on the left and right.

Instinctively, Himeko judged that this was no longer a matter of personal feelings; it concerned the future and a struggle for destiny, and she could not back down at this moment.

"..."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Huaiyan remained kind and gentle, but did not explain to the Starry Sky Train that it was all a misunderstanding and that they were simply entertaining guests.

There is no misunderstanding now.

Yun Li had never seen her grandfather show such an attitude before. She stared at Hua Yi with wide eyes, looking him up and down, her face full of surprise and curiosity.

The silence didn't last long. Hua Yi moved and casually chose a seat to sit down.

So Huaiyan naturally sat to his left, and Jingyuan moved to the left.

Himeko was sitting to Hua Yi's right, and further to her right were San Yueqi and Xing.

This time it was Feixiao's turn to sit down first. He picked up a leg of lamb and started gnawing on it with a dashing and handsome air, but something felt off.

It seems like I'm sitting on the Starry Sky Train?

Well, it's not a big problem. Jingliu is right there too. The important thing is what we're going to talk about next.

"This is Mei Zhuan Ge's signature spicy minced beef offal, made from minced meat and offal from Huangshi cattle, cooked with Chi Yun chili sauce. I'll serve you a bowl to try."

"It's bright red and tempting, and the spiciness is intense. Don't believe me, General, but I can handle spicy food quite well," Hua Yi said without any politeness.

"Good, good, good. And this is Shangziwei's fruitwood-roasted chicken wing root, which warms the middle and benefits qi, replenishes essence and marrow. Young friend, you are at the age of growth, so you should eat more of it." "I remember that the Shataen moa bird is ferocious by nature. Its meat is indeed firm and much tastier than ordinary chicken."

"Young friend, you recognize it? You truly have a wealth of knowledge."

Huaiyan smiled and gave Huayi a thumbs up, his general's demeanor completely gone, replaced by the image of a kind elder.

“I heard from Jingyuan that he treated you to two pots of Lin Yuan Chun tea at the Marquis of Nevernight. I also enjoy tea, and I gave you a few boxes afterward. Now that it’s time for a proper meal, why not have some thick soup? By the way, you and Yunli are both young people, so you must like desserts. Those plates are for you. Do you like them?”

Oh? General, you really invited Hua Yi to dinner?

Regardless of how Yun Li felt seeing her grandfather being so kind to strangers, Fei Xiao was completely dumbfounded.

"General Huaiyan, shouldn't we say something about the chaos in Luofu?"

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

Huaiyan nodded and stroked his beard.

"When Luofu was in trouble, my young friend saved the crumbling edifice and rescued the Immortal Ship from the brink of disaster. Would you be willing to join the alliance and help each other? Back then, the people of the Immortal Ship swore an oath with the Chiming and Fox People to create civilization together, which is why the alliance is what it is today. If we could rebuild our alliance, it would be another wonderful story."

This is the kind of reaction I'm talking about.

After listening to Huaiyan's words, Huayi was impressed by Di Gongtian's decisive action, but still smiled.

"The old general means to form an alliance with the Star Train, right? Otherwise, how can I, a mere individual, compare with the Vidyadhara and Fox Clan?"

"Little friend..."

"Now that the train is being repaired by Himeko and is embarking on a new journey through the universe, it is in a rather difficult initial stage. If the Immortal Ship is willing to establish a friendship, it would be a great help."

The answer was somewhat different from what he expected, and Huaiyan fell into deep thought.

"The nameless guest upheld justice and morality and came to Luofu to warn us early on. Now, we have Generals Huaiyan and Feixiao to witness this alliance. This jade omen will be given to the Starry Sky Train."

Jing Yuan naturally picked up the conversation and took out an object that looked like a tiger tally.

"Thousands of years ago, when the alliance was established, all the immortal ships swore an oath and inscribed it on a jade tablet as proof. Even if the world were to perish, this oath would not be forgotten. This jade tablet is the same, symbolizing the Luofu Cloud Riders' commitment to the Train Corps. It is also a beacon that no matter how vast the Milky Way or how long the journey, the Luofu Cloud Riders will come to join the Train Corps and fulfill what you have entrusted to them."

This is a great gift.

Among the super powers that stand at the top of the entire universe, [Luofu] of the Immortal Boat Alliance sent out a token. Once the Starry Sky Train accepted it, it would have an incredibly terrifying trump card.

But Ji Zi bit her red lips tightly, her delicate hand tugging at Hua Yi's sleeve under the table, unwilling to accept the offer.

Chapter 349 The General is still operating!

Despite being the train's navigator, Ji Zi was acting like a timid young woman, anxiously expressing her thoughts and leaving the final decision to Hua Yi.

If we consider the train crew as a whole, the sum of everyone's contributions during the turmoil is certainly enough to warrant General Xianzhou offering the Jade Sign of Alliance.

But upon closer examination, that's not the case at all!

Protecting the key personnel of the Sky Ship Bureau, defeating the leader of the Bu Li War, and destroying the antimatter legion and the Bu Li beast ships in the starry sky... all the truly significant contributions were made by Hua Yi. If the Starry Sky Train accepts this jade omen, it will consume his merits.

How could we possibly risk harming Huayi's interests to covet Luofu's trump card?

The Immortal Ship was so generous with its gifts, but the Train could not follow suit and offer something of sufficient value to the Nameless Passengers who continued to explore. This made Himeko feel complicated.

Compared to the super powers at the top of the cosmic pyramid, the Star Train is far inferior. Can it really keep Hua Yi by its side... well, on the train?

"General Jingyuan has presented a very generous gift."

Seeing the complex expression on Himeko's face, Hua Yi was deeply moved.

With the appearance of something as invaluable as the Jade Alliance, readily available, the mature and beautiful navigator seemed to have turned into a little girl, looking preoccupied with her own thoughts.

So cute~

"How about we eat first, giving both sides more time to consider?"

"Young friend, you don't need to be so polite."

Huaiyan was also observing the situation, and from Ji Zi's reaction, he concluded that "Star Train does not covet the alliance's assistance, but instead places Hua Yi in a higher position."

This conclusion made the old general nod in approval.

The newly appointed envoy of the Imperial Bow Master is on a tour of the world. He previously rode in the Rainbow Cloud Chariot. It is undoubtedly gratifying to be able to make friends with such a group of nameless guests who do not covet profit.

"Jing Yuan's actions are a reward for the Star Train, and I feel there is no reason for me to refuse. Without your help, I don't know how many Cloud Cavalry soldiers would have sacrificed themselves in this war. There is a saying in the Immortal Boat Alliance: 'A drop of water in need is repaid with a spring of water.' What the Train Corps has done is far more than a drop of water in need. If we are ever in trouble in the future, we will never stand idly by."

The "we" in this sentence is no longer limited to Luofu.

But Huaiyan didn't rule out the possibility of anything, as he had other expectations for Huayi.

Taking advantage of his position sitting to Hua Yi's left, the old general forcefully handed him the jade tablet and gripped his hand tightly.

"It's quite a coincidence. Young friend, you wish to travel the universe, and the Immortal Ship, which is a giant ship that travels among the stars, is just right to carry you on your journey."

“General Huaiyan, you... Each of these immortal ships carries hundreds of millions of people. The alliance has to consider many factors when it acts. How can we change the course just because of me?”

"Why not? The Zhu Ming Immortal Ship under my command can adjust its course according to your wishes, young friend."

This isn't just empty talk; Huaiyan is serious.

The newly appointed Hunting Envoy roams the starry sky, eliminating evil spirits, perfectly aligning with the core principles of the Immortal Ship Alliance.

Even if the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship is a behemoth, and factors such as the route and the space where it docks need to be considered, it can be carefully weighed and the ship can be arranged to complete the rest of the journey once it reaches the vicinity of the target star system that Hua Yi desires.

"Unless the Emperor Bow Master sends down a beam of light to mark the world inhabited by the abominations, indicating to the Alliance that an immediate military campaign is needed, I assure you, I will not disappoint you!"

Wait a minute, old general, why are you bringing up Zhu Ming's immortal boat?

It was clearly my side that first established a good relationship with Hua Yi.

Jing Yuan almost extended an olive branch on behalf of Luofu, but remembering the friendship between the two factions, he held back and spoke tactfully instead.

"Elder Yan was just using an analogy. I wonder if you are comfortable living in the residence arranged by the Tianbo Bureau? Luofu can create a new grotto-heaven and enrich its interior according to your wishes."

"Now that things have come to this... it's definitely my turn to speak!"

Jingyuan chose to be tactful, but Feixiao was clearly not so subtle.

"Hua Yi, you really should come to Yaoqing. The fox people must also want to see what the great hero who defeated Bu Lizhan looks like. I guarantee you'll receive a warm welcome!"

"I feel like I'd have to cut myself into eight pieces to satisfy the three generals."

The Immortal Boat Alliance's combat strength and material resources are certainly superior to those of the Starry Sky Train.

But Hua Yi could not abandon other truths for the sake of [Hunting].

Jing Yuan and Huai Yan seemed to regard themselves as hunting envoys. Fei Xiao was thanking himself for killing the great enemy of the fox people. If he were to stay in such a super power for a long time, there would definitely be many more things to pay attention to.

Whether or not one can decide their own flight path is another matter. If they disrupt other paths or even launch different messenger-class attacks, the repercussions will be significant.

The Immortal Boat Alliance is the headquarters of [Hunting]. No matter how much Hua Yi uses other people's accounts, he can't rely on the "account" of Emperor Bow Heavenly General to stir up destruction and protect destiny.

"Visiting Zhu Ming and Yao Qing can be postponed to the future. My sense of time is short-lived, and I will not keep the two generals waiting for too long. If possible, I would like to ask the generals to help collect certain materials to expand the Starry Sky Train. I feel that there are not enough carriages now."

"Leave this matter to me. Zhu Ming is renowned for its craftsmanship and has plenty of rare materials."

"Luofu's interstellar trade is quite prosperous, so it can be of help."

"The Qingqiu army has seized quite a lot of spoils from their campaign against the abundant monsters; they're all piled up in the warehouse. Just give me a list later."

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Huaiyan had originally intended for Yunli to chat casually with the train crew, but the little girl's attention was entirely focused on Huayi, and she was staring at him with wide eyes.

Judging from the navigator Himeko's appearance, she was also unable to scramble the train crew.

The newly appointed Hunting Envoy failed to join the alliance directly as he had hoped, turning the Emperor's Seven Heavenly Generals into Eight Heavenly Generals, which is truly a pity.

However, Hua Yi didn't rule out any possibility. Judging from his words, he would visit Zhu Ming within a hundred years, and there would still be a chance to make an effort then.

This is also a good opportunity to report the situation to the marshal and further establish a friendly relationship with Hua Yi.

"By the way, young friend, are you finding your weapons to your liking? I've heard you have a lance and a greatsword; why don't you try out the Zhu Ming swords?"

"They're just right for me. I've grown attached to these two weapons and don't want to change them."

Hua Yi wanted to end the discussion.

Otherwise, Huaiyan proposed to personally forge the weapons and enhance the spear and sword.

The Great Guardian's Lance contains Alisa's soul, and the unknown nature of the soul cluster remains. The Godfall Sword contains Illusion, a Great Lord of Annihilation.

How could one casually give it to the hunting envoy for forging?

Chapter 350 What is the relationship between Jingyuan's master and Hua Yi? Yun Li has to call Hua Yi "brother".

"After arriving in Luofu, I heard storytellers recount the heroic deeds of the Five Heroes of the Clouds more than once. I had long admired them, but unfortunately, the story ended with the Five Heroes scattering in different directions."

Hua Yi was changing the subject, but what he said immediately stirred Jing Yuan's thoughts.

"The former Yin Yuejun Danfeng has become Dan Heng, and Jing Liu, who has been convicted of being a traitor, has also attended this banquet. What is the Alliance's attitude towards this?"

"This concerns Luofu. I believe Jingyuan already has his own judgment, so I will not say more."

"Back then, Danfeng suffered the punishment of shedding his scales and reincarnating, and was reborn as Danheng. He was still expelled from Luofu, and it has been hundreds of years since then."
