"Alright, let's part ways here~"
Time flowed ceaselessly, and in the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
After a day of exploring the Luofu, it was time to bid farewell.
"Ah... already?"
Hearing that she would soon be parting ways with her beloved Sister Lumina, March 7th felt a pang of reluctance.
Then, as if remembering something, her gradually dimming eyes suddenly brightened. She gazed at Lumina with an expression that was both suggestive and pointed, saying:
"Um... Sister Lumina, when Stelle and I first arrived on the Luofu, we were immediately drawn into a conflict involving a Lord Ravager. So... so the Luofu hasn't arranged any accommodation for us."
"It's getting so late now, and we don't have anywhere to stay on the Luofu. Plus, it would take ages to get back to the Astral Express. Sister Lumina, what do you think...?"
Hearing this, Lumina glanced at March 7th with a slightly surprised look.
Could March 7th, that goofy girl, actually be using this pathetic act to get what she wants? This is truly beyond Lumina's comprehension.
Lumina didn't dwell on it, choosing to believe March 7th had simply had a sudden flash of insight... She smiled and said, "It just so happens that General Jing Yuan gifted me a luxurious estate in the Exalting Sanctum recently."
"Since you two currently lack accommodations, you can stay at my estate."
Lumina knew exactly what March 7th was up to, but she had important matters to attend to that evening and couldn't afford to be disturbed...
Rejecting temptation starts with me!
Lumina's gaze fell upon Qingque, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Qingque, but would you please escort March and Stelle to the estate next to the Seat of Divine Foresight?"
"The estate next to the Seat of Divine Foresight?" Qingque's eyes flickered with confusion.
Is there even an estate there open to the public? Isn't that just the estate reserved for honored guests? Or maybe...
"Umm... you... you wouldn't be talking about that place, the Exalting Estate, would you?"
A possibility flashed through Qingque's mind, her small face instantly filled with shock. Her voice faltered slightly as she asked Lumina.
"Yes, that's the one."
"Then... then can I stay there for a night?!" Qingque's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Lumina's confirmation.
Qingque knew Lumina held a high position—the Master Diviner and General Jing Yuan both held her in exceptional regard. But she never imagined the extent of their esteem would surpass her wildest fantasies.
The Exalting Estate was a place the Luofu reserved only for the most honored guests—yet it had been gifted to Lumina outright!
Having lived in the Exalting Sanctum, Qingque had seen the estate's imposing gates countless times, and the desire to glimpse what lay within had crossed her mind more than once.
However, knowing it was reserved for the Luofu's honored guests, Qingque had only indulged her curiosity slightly as a child. As she grew older, the thought gradually faded away.
Now, hearing of the opportunity to finally see inside, Qingque couldn't possibly miss it. It was like fulfilling a childhood dream!
"Of course you can!" Lumina nodded with a smile at Qingque's words.
How could Lumina possibly refuse Qingque's desire to move in? In fact, she secretly wished Qingque would stay there forever!
Not for any ulterior motives—just because the place has such a lovely environment, and she genuinely wanted them to enjoy it properly, ofc.
"Yay!" Qingque clapped her hands gleefully upon hearing Lumina's approval.
Her childhood dream was about to come true. Who wouldn't be thrilled?
"Ugh... Sister Lumina," March 7th said, her eyes filled with reproach as Lumina immediately arranged accommodations for her.
Sister Lumina is so clever, how could she not understand what I was trying to say?
March 7th's cheeks puffed up slightly, hinting at her mild displeasure.
"Alright, you should get going now. It's getting late, so get some rest."
Lumina pretended not to notice March 7th's pout.
Obsessing over beauty will only prevent me from achieving great things. I, Lumina, will never become that kind of person!
"Alright..."
Knowing her beloved Sister Lumina didn't want her to visit her home, March 7th sighed and reluctantly agreed.
Since Sister Lumina forbade it, the clever little March had no choice but to obey. O(TヘTo)
"Mm, follow me then," Qingque said, nodding to Lumina before turning to March 7th and Stelle, beckoning them forward.
"See you tomorrow, Sister Lumina!" March 7th's uncharacteristic solemn expression lasted only a moment before she reverted to her usual cheerful self, waving cutely at Lumina as she followed Qingque out of the room.
"Tomorrow," Stelle said curtly, offering Lumina a slight nod before leaving.
"See you tomorrow~"
Watching their figures disappear from sight, Lumina quickly composed herself and strode forward, ready to tackle her grand ambitions!
[I can't quite figure you out lately. How could you waste such a perfect opportunity?]
Lumina had barely taken a few steps when the System's words materialized before her.
The current Lumina felt utterly alien to the System, even making it briefly wonder if she had been possessed.
"Enough chatter. Post some promotional material on the Reality forums and max out all my resources."
Lumina saw the message and didn't bother explaining.
[What kind of promotion?]
"Official voice actor Lumina has joined Bilibili! Her debut stream starts at xx:xx!"
