I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Instead, we shouldn't bully her too much.

"Can you figure out exactly when is the best time to go to the Fox Sleeping Tomb?"

"An hour later."

"it is good."

Hua Yi readily agreed, not minding making another trip for the beautiful fox spirit who had already conveyed goodwill to him multiple times, while pondering his fate.

As a result, Fu Xuan felt embarrassed.

"From now on, we... Anyway, there will always be a place for you to rest in Luofu. Whether it's me or the Sky-Riding Helmsman, you can trust me. If you encounter problems like the memory of March 7th again, come to me for divination. For matters like business and trade, go to the Sky-Riding Helmsman."

"I'm tempted to run up to the Grand Diviner right now and see what kind of expression you have."

Somewhere in the Taibu Si (a place in Taiwan), Fu Xuan touched his cheek and found it was a little hot.

They're definitely going to be famous.

She gritted her teeth, trying her best to control her emotions, and pretended not to have seen Hua Yi's latest news.

"If you are concerned about the Black Tower Space Station and Belloborg and hope that the two forces will develop further, the Taipusi will conduct some academic exchanges with the space station. As for Belloborg, the Yukong will take the lead and have the Tianbosi propose trade cooperation."

"Why are you suddenly being so considerate of me?"

"Back then, when the Star Core Hunters infiltrated Luofu, the Starry Sky Train also suddenly appeared, claiming that there was a crisis brewing on the Immortal Ship. As one of the Six Emperors, I should have been cautious. Now..."

It was Hua Yi's turn to control his mindset with great willpower.

Otherwise, using the hunting rhythm to send the energy of destiny to Fu Xuan and see just how adorable her expression was would be a matter of a single thought.

"Hmm, how is it now?"

"Now that I am representing the Luofu Immortal Ship, it is only natural for me to return the favor."

Is this following fate and pursuing Hua Yi?

There was no reason for him to pursue her further; he was simply expressing his attitude as a member of the Six Emperors, in accordance with the principle of "repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude."

It's just a bit too direct.

That's right, that's it.

Otherwise, if we really follow the divination, my current actions are incredibly frustrating. I should bravely take action for my own happiness and for the sake of the nation.

Then the world will be blessed with good fortune, and everything will go smoothly.

With success in both love and career, even the Emperor and the God of Destiny deserve a thumbs up.

Look, this is what the Immortal Diviner, the future General of Luofu, should be doing!

This is how the hexagram is displayed.

Shaking his head to dismiss the presumptuous speculation about the Star God, Fu Xuan didn't give Hua Yi time to reply, his fingers flying across the jade screen.

"I am busy with official duties, so I will not send many messages. You remember the matter of the Sky-Driving Commander... Thank you."

Upon closer examination, knowing that the people of Luofu would become entangled with Hua Yi, pushing him to associate with Yu Kong seemed to be a way of pushing Yu Kong out and having something happen between them first.

Is this the price of understanding fate?

The more you know, the more you understand that every action you take is a step closer to the future.

—How embarrassing!

Chapter 445 Fox Sleeping Tomb

Thirty years ago, there was a war among the people of Fengrao. At that time, the Fox Clan's elite flying warriors were all deployed, and they suffered heavy casualties.

Later, the people of Xianzhou would spontaneously visit the Fox Tomb in Suiyuan to mourn the fallen soldiers, giving the place a tragic and solemn atmosphere. It was no longer the garden where people used to play and enjoy the scenery, but a place that became quite solemn.

As the number of tourists dwindled and laughter dwindled, rumors began to circulate among the people of Luofu, suggesting that Suiyuan Garden was haunted, which further reduced the number of visitors.

Therefore, after the Ten Kings sealed off Suiyuan and prohibited unauthorized personnel from entering or leaving, very few people knew that something had changed there.

It wasn't a popular tourist attraction to begin with.

But if a big shot wants to go in, the guards of the Netherworld will not stop him.

As the new day began, even though the vast majority of Suiyang had been arrested, the sky over Suiyuan remained dark.

With a clear goal in mind, Hua Yi headed towards the Fox Sleeping Tomb. He strolled along the overgrown mountain path, devoid of proper steps, with tombstones appearing from time to time on both sides, bearing only a few lines of text detailing the deceased's life.

Many tombstones are damaged. The people of the Immortal Boat have a lifespan of a thousand years, and the fox people can enjoy a life of more than three hundred years, but the stone tombstones have already grown moss in just thirty years after the war ended.

Even though there is a bronze incense burner in front of the tombstone, the ash inside is of unknown origin.

Time leaves its mark.

desolate.

Even on a clear, sunny day, visiting the Fox Sleeping Tomb can feel desolate, let alone on such a gloomy day.

People who are a little timid or afraid of ghosts would never go near Suiyuan.

However, considering the identities of the vast majority of the dead here, the fox-people flying warriors sacrificed themselves in the war, protecting the immortal ship in life. Even if their souls truly exist after death, how could they possibly cause trouble for their fellow countrymen?

Besides, there are no ghosts here.

The dead also have friends and relatives. If one could actually meet them, one would be willing to do so even if it meant encountering a ghost.

No one witnessed it; the person has passed away, leaving the living only with sorrow and longing.

Following the location sent by Fu Xuan, Hua Yi quickly arrived at a secluded area in the mountains and forests, where there was a blue-green starship and a fox-woman figure burning with ghostly flames.

Ghost Starship and Ghost Flyer.

Damn it!

If it were an ordinary citizen of the Immortal Ship, they would probably be frightened.

However, Hua Yi immediately recognized that it was a manifestation of Sui Yang.

Yu Kong, who arrived here first, must have been able to see it too, but she just pursed her lips, biting her red lips until they turned white, and her gaze toward the Ghost Flyer was filled with sadness.

Containing his own emotions, Hua Yi approached without deliberately softening his steps.

When Yu Kong heard that the train crew was helping to capture Sui Yang, he wasn't surprised to see Hua Yi coming over. He wanted to greet him, but his heart was filled with sorrow, and he couldn't make much of a face.

"Mr. Hua Yi, are you here to arrest Sui Yang?"

"By the way."

Hua Yi stopped and got closer to Yu Kong, where her sadness became even more apparent.

Even though he was the captain of the Imperial Ship Company, he did not easily express his inner feelings. He did not shed tears or sniffle, but his bitterness was hard to hide.

With her eyes lowered, she seemed to want to smile politely and curl the corners of her lips, but she couldn't quite manage to recreate the proper curve. Her purple eyes held a restless emotion, and she had lost much of her usual composure and calmness.

Their eyes met briefly, and Yu Kong felt as if Hua Yi had seen into his entire heart through his eyes.

The strange feeling of being completely seen through made her impulsively want to confide in the other person.

Although it wasn't a friendship that had lasted for decades or even centuries, the way Hua Yi offered help to Luo Fu, to himself, and to Qing Ni seemed to lack sincerity if he tried to hide it.

I had already discussed Caiyi's matter with Huayi before.

"—Suiyang, it transformed into the image of my comrade-in-arms, and also that starship from before."

"It is clear that the spirit of the spark chases after the emotions of living beings, following the fox-people's mourning as if it heard the heartfelt cries of an old friend and transformed into the appearance of an old friend to meet them."

Hua Yi spoke gently, but the hunting rhythms around him were quietly stirring.

Seeking, weaving.

"Your emotions are strong enough to attract Suiyang, causing it to abandon its possession and take over your body, and instead choose to respond to your wishes."

"...In the years since the war ended, I have come to Fox Sleep Tomb countless times to reminisce about the days when I could talk about anything with Caiyi, to reminisce about our perfectly coordinated flights, and the passion of fighting side by side...I have collected the fragments of the airship from that great war here."

Yu Kong was so engrossed in the past that he was completely unaware of the rhythm of truth.

She was deeply moved by Hua Yi's words and sighed softly...

"After becoming the captain, I buried myself in official duties and thought I had gotten used to it and stopped missing it. But when I saw this starship again and saw Caiyi, I was reminded of those days that had passed. I turned back into the weak fox girl and could only cry."

Tears don't necessarily fall from the corners of the eyes.

Salty tears flowed in my heart, and kept flowing.

Attracted by the emotion, Suiyang came chasing after Yukong. When Yukong said these words, a faint smile appeared on his face, a smile full of sorrow.

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

"Isn't it even more pathetic of you to apologize to me now?"

Hua Yi hates tragedies and doesn't want to see girls shed sad tears.

Now, Yu Kong's expression is far more heartbreaking than ordinary tears.

"Stop controlling your emotions and let yourself sink into the past. Recall your past with Caiyi, fighting side by side and laughing and joking together."

"Do you want me to cry? Like you would guide Qingni to vent her emotions. That child is still young, a good cry will do the trick. I will continue to take care of her and protect her. As for myself... I have seen too much war, too much blood and tears—I am old."

"I'm so vulgar, I only judge people by their appearance. Miss Yu Kong is still beautiful and ageless."

[Hunting] is guided by [Memory], making it even more dynamic.

Hua Yi met Yu Kong's gaze calmly and saw the sadness in her eyes, and let her see his sincerity.

"Some things are better said out loud, some emotions are better expressed. At least I can be a listener and do something about it."

what to do?

The air-riding technique could not capture that mysterious and profound fluctuation of truth.

Even the Emperor Bow General, unless he is in Suiyuan and face to face with Hua Yi, would be completely unaware of the miracle brewing.

The fox-person, whose heart has grown old but whose appearance remains stunningly beautiful, can only draw one conclusion.

Hua Yi said, "I will take care of you and protect you."

This is equivalent to confessing one's feelings.

Mingming Qingni likes you, but you treat me... well...?

Yu Kong should have been at a loss, feeling incredibly shy, but his grief for his deceased friend overwhelmed everything.

She could only awkwardly change the subject.

"Then, then listen."

Chapter 446 The Past of Soaring Through the Sky

The young Yu Kong was not as gentle and experienced as he is now.

She was once brought before the general by the Cloud Cavalry for running six red lights in a row while piloting a star raft. Thanks to Jing Yuan's quick thinking, he ordered someone to complete the formalities for her to become a pilot and shine in the right place.

His glorious life of soaring through the skies began from this moment.

The first ace pilot of Luofu left behind a starship record that remains unbroken to this day.

"Larger warships require two pilots to operate them together, one helms the ship and the other controls the weapons. Caiyi is my partner, serving as the armorer. She is like an ice blade, clean and efficient on the battlefield, without any superfluous emotions."

With a look of reminiscence on his face, Yu Kong shared his past with Hua Yi.

“Countless times we piloted our warships, turning them into sharp blades to cut through the battlefield and crush the battle formations of the bountiful monsters. At that time, I was the one with a fiery temper, while Caiyi was calm and composed.”

Even the staff of the Tianbo Company could hardly imagine that the now elegant and meticulous Captain 23 once had a completely different personality.

Even Qingni didn't know about these things.

"Because I always felt she was too calm, I asked Caiyi why she wanted to fly a warship—Huayi, what do you think? Is it a glamorous profession?"

"The Immortal Ship Alliance is a super power in the universe, and to be able to drive advanced vehicles and use advanced weapons in such a power must seem glamorous to outsiders."

Hua Yi and Yu Kong looked at each other, their eyes meeting, as they poured out their hearts.

"But I think that the soldiers who carry the fate of everyone on their shoulders and embark on their journeys to protect those behind them will always suffer a lot, and it is normal for them to shed tears from the suffering. In the end... they will always bleed more."

"!"
