"Cough, cough, cough…"
"Little March, could you move the phone away a bit…"
Welt coughed, asking little March to take the phone away. He had been choked up by the photo on the screen…
"Ah? Oh…"
Little March, slow on the uptake, placed the phone down on the seat, looking at Welt with complete confusion.
"What's wrong, Uncle Yang? Are you just excited because you haven't seen Dan Heng in so long?"
"Uncle Yang… are you okay?" Wende asked with concern.
"Cough, cough… sigh, I'm fine. I'm just getting too old to look at such stimulating things…"
Welt waved his hand and took out a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth, signaling that he was alright.
"Hmm?"
Wende tilted his head. Just what kind of photo was it…
"This photo… is it that stimulating? Wende, take a look!"
March, still puzzled, handed the phone to Wende.
Wende, equally curious, glanced at the photo on little March's phone.
"!!!!"
Wende's initially curious eyes instantly widened. But then, as if he had thought of something, his surprised expression returned to normal.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Wende's strange expression, Welt frowned in confusion.
"That man… he carries a coffin around with him… has the Xianzhou become this open-minded?"
Sensing Welt's gaze, Wende immediately covered for his earlier reaction.
In truth, he had indeed been startled by that face. But considering that this character's design had already been released, he had just been here for too long, and the sudden sight of that face had triggered a bit of PTSD.
However… Wende subconsciously glanced at Welt.
This man… is truly a severe case of Otto PTSD.
Sigh, the days of poor Welt being played with in the palm of Otto's hand…
"But, this message seems to be from yesterday. It looks like it only came through after the connection was restored," March said, stroking her chin as she looked at the date on the picture Dan Heng had sent.
"They should have already reached Starskiff Haven by now, right?"
"That sacred face… it really does give you PTSD!"
Sister Guoguo sighed as she looked at the photo on March's phone. Sushang was standing beside Luocha, and Luocha, with a "sacred" expression, stood quietly to the side, looking completely at ease.
[Old Yang: "Old man on the subway with a phone.jpg"]
[Welt: It's hard. My fist is hard.]
[Otto! Otto is still chasing him!]
[To be fair, anyone who's been through that "beautiful story" would have some degree of Otto PTSD, right?]
[Hiss… Luocha… he's not a bad choice, you know.]
[He looks like he has a lot of healing power. Although not as much as my Father Wende, he can still solve an urgent need.]
[In the past, I would have called you all degenerates, but now, I'll just say, count me in ( )]
[Hiss, Luocha x Wende… hehehe…]
[Wait, how does it feel like Wende can be shipped with any character, male or female!]
[Pom-Pom: Hello!]
[?]
[Diting…]
[Diting is going too far!]

"Everyone, we can disembark now!"
Tingyun brought the starskiff to a steady stop at the dock and turned to address the group behind her.
"Oh, Stelle! Wake up! We're here!"
March woke up Stelle, who had fallen asleep next to Kafka. Seeing her drowsy eyes, Kafka couldn't help but smile again.
"Hmph, you still have the heart to laugh? It seems you don't have the slightest bit of nervousness about our Divination Commission's interrogation."
Fu Xuan, sitting to the side with her chin in her hand, taunted Kafka.
"Lady Master Diviner, it seems you have a lot of confidence in your interrogation techniques…"
Kafka's voice was as lazy as ever. Even bound by spells and with her hands in shackles, her alluring and dangerous aura remained unchanged.
"Heh… we shall see once we try."
Watching the two clash with their gazes, little March quietly sidled up to the bewildered Stelle and whispered.
"I have a feeling… that Lady Master Diviner is losing?"
Wende, who was nearby, compared Fu Xuan and Kafka, then nodded in agreement.
Indeed, she's losing in every department…
"Let's get off the skiff first."
In the end, it was the reliable Welt who broke the "stalemate" between the two.
"Hmph, Stellaron Hunter, this one will not stoop to the level of your ilk."
Fu Xuan said disdainfully, then turned and walked off the starskiff.
"Let's go."
Stelle helped Kafka up and they walked out of the starskiff.
"Wow… so this is the Divination Commission? It looks a little different from what I imagined."
March exclaimed in surprise, looking at the bustling area before them.
"Er…"
Tingyun awkwardly covered her mouth with her folding fan.
"Although this one usually keeps to herself, I still remember what my domain looks like… Where have you taken us? Is this the Divination Commission??" Fu Xuan shouted at Tingyun, her eyes filled with confusion and doubt.
"Oh, my, Master Diviner, please calm down. The Aurumaton Gate just malfunctioned. It's not easy to pinpoint the entrance to a Grotto-Heaven… It was already quite an effort for this little lady to park the starskiff here…"
As she spoke, Tingyun raised her eyes, and the others followed her gaze.
Not far from where the starskiff was parked, a massive archway stood, with a plaque bearing the name "Changle" hanging above it.
"You see, [Changle]. It looks like a safe place. We can just walk the rest of the way."
Seeing Tingyun's innocent expression, Fu Xuan lost her temper. She just gave a cold snort and began to divine.
"…"
Watching Fu Xuan muttering to herself as she performed her divination, Wende's eyes narrowed slightly.
He sensed that as Fu Xuan divined, a faint aura of Yin and Yang emerged around her. It was very faint, but it was definitely there.
"Mmm… is this the Xianzhou's [Divination]?"
Seeing Fu Xuan's mystical-looking actions, little March couldn't help but look down at her own ten delicate and cute fingers.
"Why does it look like she's counting on her fingers, just like me?"
[Option 1: Look at March: You also use your fingers to count?]
[Option 2: Look at March: This is the legendary quantum entanglement.]
[Option 3: Look at March: This is called 'experts see the method, laymen see the spectacle!']
[Option 4: Look at Wende: Can you do that?]
"Option four! Definitely option four!"
Sister Guoguo chose option four without a shred of hesitation.
On screen, Wende was initially taken aback by Stelle's question, but then he actually nodded.
"I know a little…"
[??? Wait, is there anything you can't do? Give birth?]
[Tch, that might actually be possible…]
[As expected of you, the almighty tool!]
[Yes, yes, yes, Dad! Divine my romantic fortune!]
[Wende: The love life you have searched for is not in the service area.]
