Chapter 154 - Chapter 154: Departure

Xianzhou Luofu, Divination Commission.

Upon hearing that Lumina was about to depart from the Luofu, Fu Xuan offered a perfunctory "Safe travels. Don't rush; I won't see you off."

"Hmm... the Master Diviner is truly aloof. I helped the Luofu with such a great task, and all I get is nine words?"

Faced with Fu Xuan's cold formalities, Lumina feigned a hurt expression and wiped away nonexistent tears from the corner of her eye.

Fu Xuan: ...

Observing Lumina's unsubtle performance, Fu Xuan couldn't help but roll her eyes in exasperation.

If you're going to act, at least try to make it convincing! Do you really think I'm that naive and easily fooled?

"Alright, I was just joking. General Jing Yuan has invited me to the upcoming Wardance Ceremony, so we'll be seeing each other again soon."

Realizing that Fu Xuan wasn't as easily deceived as March 7th, Lumina dropped her act. She adopted a gentle smile and spoke softly.

"Is the General planning to hold the Wardance Ceremony?" Fu Xuan's brow arched slightly, a hint of surprise in her expression.

"So that's why..."

However, Fu Xuan quickly understood Jing Yuan's eagerness to host the Wardance Ceremony.

"Master Diviner... I came to... Eh? Lady Lumina, you're here too!"

Just as Fu Xuan was lost in thought, a lively girlish voice rang out.

Without a doubt, the speaker was Qingque.

"Um... Am I interrupting?"

Sensing the gazes of Lumina and Fu Xuan, Qingque seemed to realize she'd intruded. She chuckled awkwardly and took a step back, suddenly tempted to flee the scene.

"Not at all. I just came to say goodbye to you and Fu Xuan," Lumina replied. Seeing the still-vibrant and adorable Qingque before her, Lumina's mood brightened considerably.

"Eh? Lady Lumina is leaving the Luofu?" Qingque was mildly surprised, but after a moment's thought, she found it unsurprising.

Lumina had originally come to the Luofu as a tourist. Now that she'd seen everything she wanted to see, it would have been more surprising if she'd stayed any longer.

Thinking this, Qingque felt a pang of disappointment.

"Yes, but I'll be back soon," Lumina nodded with a smile.

"Really? That's wonderful!" Hearing this, Qingque's disappointment vanished instantly.

After all, Lumina had made such a wonderful impression on her during her time on the Luofu!

With Lady Lumina around, Qingque could use her as an excuse to slack off openly and without guilt!

"Hmm... are you thinking that as long as I'm on the Luofu, you can use me as an excuse to slack off openly?" Lumina asked, her voice tinged with amusement, as if reading Qingque's thoughts.

"Huh? Lady Lumina, do you have mind-reading powers? How did you know what I was thinking?" Qingque's expression shifted to astonishment as she stared at Lumina, her face filled with awe.

"Hmm?" Lumina hummed softly in response, choosing not to answer Qingque's question.

Instead, her gaze shifted to Fu Xuan, who stood beside her with a slightly strained expression.

"Ah..." Seeing Lumina's actions, Qingque's heart skipped a beat.

I completely forgot there was someone else here besides Lady Lumina and me...

And that someone happens to be my supervisor... So just now, I basically told my supervisor I was planning to slack off... right in front of her...

As if on cue, her small ear was suddenly seized by a hand and gently tugged outward. A stinging, yet not unbearable, pain radiated from her ear throughout her body.

A frustrated shout echoed through the Divination Commission:

"Qingque!!!"

"Such spirit..." Lumina murmured with a smile, watching the scene unfold before her.

"It's about time I left the Luofu..."

Without lingering any longer, Lumina quietly slipped away while Qingque and Fu Xuan continued their playful squabble.

But come to think of it, am I forgetting something? Lumina mused inwardly.

Guinaifen: On Lumina

A fleeting glimpse during the live stream introduced me to this cosmic celebrity... Though to her, I'm likely just a passerby, unlikely to leave much of an impression... Still, I'm incredibly happy!

...But she still hasn't repaid the money I lent her...

Jing Yuan: On Lumina

Miss Lumina... Though she's an Emanator of Abundance, she's completely different from the Emanators of Abundance I've known.

Perhaps... she's the one who truly embodies the Path of Abundance.

Fu Xuan: On Lumina

Why can't my third eye divine any information about her? Why does any information related to her become utterly chaotic?

Hmm... But based on what the General said, Lumina... doesn't seem to be a villain?

Blade: On Lumina

"..."

Kafka: On Lumina

Ah... is she in this script again? How troublesome...

(P.S.: Any script involving Lumina runs to at least a hundred volumes.)

Yanqing on Lumina:

Hm? Lady Lumina, you mean?

I admit, I initially misunderstood her a bit, but after that incident, my impression of her completely changed.

Lady Lumina... she's a true powerhouse!

I'll work hard to catch up to her!

Qingque on Lumina:

Lady Lumina, huh... I don't know much about her legendary deeds.

What I do know is that her Celestial Jade-breaking skills are truly extraordinary—utterly, utterly, utterly amazing!

Tingyun on Lumina:

?

Phantylia on Lumina:

Hmph! Just a mere Abundance Abomination who got lucky against me...

When I reappear, I'll make her taste the true flavor of Destruction!

Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ugh... Meow~

Luocha on Lumina:

Miss Lumina? An interesting person. We'll meet again someday, but not yet...

Sushang on Lumina:

Lady Lumina? Though our meeting was brief, I could tell...

Just like Little Gui said, she's a gentle and compassionate leader.
