A week has passed, and Fu Xuan has recorded all the various problems currently existing in Warahip.
Furthermore, after a week of intensive coaching, Fu Xuan has successfully improved Kiana's ability to handle official affairs.
It was time for her to leave this place and return to the Luofu.
Star-Moon Port.
"Are you really leaving? Why don't you just stay? Don't go back to the Luofu, you can be the Grand Diviner of Warahip!"
Kiana gripped Fu Xuan's hand tightly, her eyes filled with reluctance to let her go.
Fu Xuan tried to quietly withdraw her small hand, but Kiana's grip was simply too firm.
"I must return to the Luofu. As the Grand Diviner of the Luofu, I cannot be transferred to another Xianzhou without authorization. This matter must be decided by the Divination Commission's General Office on the The Jade Pool."
"Alright then..."
Kiana was no longer unreasonable; she immediately released Fu Xuan's hand with a look of regret.
Seeing that the other girl truly seemed reluctant to part with her, Fu Xuan's gaze softened.
"We are both part of the Xianzhou Alliance; it's not as if we'll never see each other again. Besides, we can stay in touch via jade sign, so there's no need for such sorrow."
"That's true."
Kiana nodded upon hearing this.
Besides, she possessed the Second Herrscher's authority over the Imaginary. Once she had the chance to record the coordinates of the Luofu, she could just go there through an Imaginary Gate.
"Oh... right!"
While thinking, Kiana remembered something. She took out the Lotus Jade Gourd she had previously obtained from the system space and handed it to Fu Xuan.
"Help me give this Lotus Jade Gourd to Bailu. It's a return gift for that pot of medicine I took from her before."
Fu Xuan showed a look of surprise as she took it. The craftsmanship of this gourd was extremely high; she doubted even the Department of Contraptions and Artifice could replicate it perfectly.
But surprise aside, Fu Xuan was not one to be swayed by greed. She quickly put away the gourd and nodded to Kiana.
"I will deliver this precious gourd to Bailu. Please rest assured."
Having said that, she turned to board the Warahip transport ship to return to the Luofu, but she had only taken two steps when Kiana pulled her back again.
???
Is this never going to end!
Do you like pulling my hand that much!
"Wait, I have one more thing. Ah Xuan, open your mind and don't resist."
Fu Xuan gave Kiana a strange look and then relaxed her consciousness.
After spending a significant amount of time together, Fu Xuan fully trusted Kiana; she knew Kiana wasn't a wicked person.
Then, within her consciousness, a contract book radiating a profound aura drifted into view, with the words 'heroic spirit contract' written at the top.
After this contract book appeared, Fu Xuan received information about Valhalla, and she was inwardly shocked by its divine capabilities.
Moreover, the contents of the contract had no master-servant restrictions; it was completely free and essentially provided an extra means of survival.
If this thing were open to everyone on the Xianzhou... hiss... it would be terrifying.
No one would have to worry about becoming Demonic Yin Body anymore, and those on the verge of an outbreak wouldn't need the Ten Lords Department to upload their consciousness into a puppet body.
Taking a deep breath, Fu Xuan agreed to the heroic spirit contract and gave Kiana a deep look.
She would not reveal information about Valhalla to anyone else; this was Kiana's own secret.
Since there were some corrupt elements within the high-ranking officials of the Xianzhou Alliance, the fewer people who knew about such an important thing, the better.
"I thank General Kiana for her trust."
As she spoke, she cupped her hands slightly toward Kiana.
"We're friends, no need for such formalities."
Kiana quickly helped Fu Xuan up and said seriously.
"..."
Friends, huh? Not bad.
With a faint smile on her lips, Fu Xuan turned and boarded the transport ship.
Kiana watched as the transport ship gradually departed, until it passed through the gate connecting Star-Moon Port to the space beyond the Wangshu Astral Express.
"Back to Taiyin Mansion. This little monkey has work to do..."
Turning to leave Star-Moon Port, Kiana's back looked lonely and filled with desolation.
In truth, there wasn't much official business left to handle in Warahip; the most important matters had already been properly settled by Fu Xuan.
Fu Xuan had recorded all the affairs concerning the areas yet to be developed, leaving them for Kiana to look through at her own pace.
Aside from that, there was only the matter of the vacant positions among the Six Sovereigns of Warahip.
But she didn't need to get involved in this; the selection of local Six Sovereigns was the concern of the Alliance's Six Sovereigns.
Once the Six Sovereigns were in place, Warahip would officially enter its development phase.
Kiana strolled leisurely toward Taiyin Mansion, not looking at all like someone in a hurry to handle official business.
Meanwhile, inside Taiyin Mansion, Fu Hua was expressionlessly correcting official documents, thinking:
Kiana should be back soon.
Fu Hua was now a Vanguard of Warahip, a position Kiana had requested from Marshal Hua just a few days ago.
After seeing Fu Hua's profile, the other party had remained silent for a long time before finally replying to Kiana.
Then, after taking the time to visit Warahip and meet Fu Hua, she agreed to let her serve as a Vanguard of Warahip.
However, no one knew what the two of them had actually discussed; Marshal Hua seemed quite happy when she left, and so did Fu Hua.
Furthermore, Marshal Hua later sent a message saying that Fu Hua would temporarily serve as a Vanguard, but there would be a more important position for her in the future.
When Kiana asked what position it was, Marshal Hua only replied: "One of the Six Sovereigns of Warahip..." Unknowingly, Kiana had arrived at a spot between Flowing Cloud Lane and a restricted military area.
At this moment, many mechanical creations from the Department of Contraptions and Artifice were moving various construction materials.
"Why has construction started here?"
Kiana stepped over the construction cordon and walked inside.
Before long, she saw Theresa directing the mechanical creations to move things around.
"Aunt, so you chose this location."
"Kiana, are you out slacking off again?"
Hearing her eldest niece's voice, Theresa stopped her directing and looked at Kiana.
"What do you mean'slacking off' again? Ah Xuan just left, I was seeing her off, and I'm just on my way back."
Kiana said indignantly, her hands on her hips.
"She's already gone? I haven't even had the chance to thank her properly."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Speaking of which, this is a good spot. Flowing Cloud Lane is right in front, the Cloud Knights Drill Ground is behind, Nights Echo Alley is a short walk to the left, and Taiyin Mansion is to the right."
"This is the location Diviner Fu helped select. When she heard a school was being built, she took the initiative to help pick this spot."
Theresa said with a smile, nodding.
Kiana looked at the Saint Freya Branch, which was beginning to take shape, and nodded in satisfaction.
A lot of Xianzhou style had been added to the original design, giving it a fresh look.
And at this rate, it would be completely finished in just a few days.
After observing for a while, Kiana bid farewell to Theresa and returned to Taiyin Mansion.
On her way back to the Luofu, Fu Xuan looked at the official business sent to her via jade sign by the Divination Commission diviners, which had been handled by Qingque, her eyes flickering.
After a moment of thought, she wrote a recommendation letter to the Divination Commission Headquarters on the The Jade Pool, describing how intelligent and flexible Qingque was.
She even wrote that Qingque was now proficient in handling the work of a Grand Diviner and suggested she be appointed as the Grand Diviner of Warahip.
Meanwhile, far away in the Luofu Divination Commission, Qingque, who was handling official business with dark circles under her eyes and looking exhausted, suddenly shivered.
"Who...! Who's trying to plot against me!"
