Chapter 331: Aventurine Stone Possesses the Authority of Preservation, Startling Cocolia!
[Servant:...]
[Uncle Tian:...]
[Dehya:...]
[Lumine: I knew it. How could Luo Feng possibly refuse the dance of a beautiful woman who offers it to him!]
[Lisa: Luo Feng is still interested in mature women.]
[Tartaglia: I was really foolish, truly.][Regrator: It's really making one a bit speechless.]
[Dehya: So, Luo Feng was really bought off by Miss Ningguang?]
[Candace: Luo Feng probably really likes watching people dance. Should I really practice dancing harder?]
[Furina: Is dancing really that useful to Luo Feng? I'm good at this!]
[Navia: Should I also find a teacher to learn how to dance?]
Luo Feng's words made Ningguang pause, and she only reacted after a few seconds.
"Does Luo Feng mean that if I perform a dance for you every day, you can reveal information to me?"
Ningguang asked.
"That's right."
Luo Feng smiled and nodded.
"Hehe, I see."
Hearing Luo Feng's reply, Ningguang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
A confident smile reappeared on her face as she looked at Luo Feng.
"Although one dance every day requires a lot of effort and energy."
"But if I can definitely obtain The Power of Destiny."
"I think I can still manage it."Ningguang said
Hearing this, Luo Feng asked:
"Can I understand this as needing me to ensure you obtain the Path before you will be willing to perform a dance for me every day?"
Ningguang smiled and said:
"Even if the information Lord Luo Feng reveals only has a fifty percent chance of allowing me to obtain The Power of Destiny."
"I am also willing to perform a year's worth of dances for you, regardless of whether I ultimately obtain The Power of Destiny."
"Furthermore, I can guarantee that within this year, every dance I perform for you at the Jade Chamber will be unique."
[Regrator: As expected of Ningguang, even at this moment, she's still thinking of bargaining with Luo Feng.]
[Servant: According to her, if Luo Feng wants to be able to appreciate Ningguang's dance every day in the future, he needs to ensure that Ningguang obtains The Power of Destiny one hundred percent. Otherwise, she cannot dance for Luo Feng daily.]
[Tartaglia: Bargaining with Luo Feng, isn't she worried about making Luo Feng angry?]
[Klee: This is Ningguang's shrewdness. Although she said that if Luo Feng cannot guarantee she will definitely obtain the Path, she will not dance for him daily.
But she also said she is willing to dance for Luo Feng for a year, without repeating any dances.
If Lord Luo Feng really likes appreciating beautiful girls dancing, he probably won't refuse and won't get angry.]
[Dr.: What's more, Ningguang emphasized that she is only willing to perform a different dance for Luo Feng every day within the Jade Chamber for a year,
She intends to tie Lord Luo Feng to Liyue for at least a year, even if she doesn't obtain the Path herself.]
[La Signora: Hmph, what a cunning woman.]
[Beidou: You should say a shrewd merchant, haha.]
"A year's worth? I thought you'd only say a month."
Luo Feng said to Ningguang.Luo Feng could naturally hear that Ningguang wanted to tie him to the Jade Chamber.
"Let's forget it. Only being able to appreciate dances at the Jade Chamber is a bit too boring."
"Besides, I don't have any good suggestions to offer you."
Luo Feng shook his head and said with a look of regret.
"Is that so..."
Ningguang sighed deeply.
Although she had thought Luo Feng might give such an answer, when Luo Feng actually said these words, Ningguang couldn't help but feel regret.
Luo Feng: "However..."
"However?!"
Ningguang quickly raised her head to look at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng spoke:"Hehe, although I don't have any good suggestions to offer you."
"But I can lend you this Aventurine Stone for the time being."
"Although this Aventurine Stone is not considered a valuable gem under this Universe."
"But this Aventurine Stone of mine was crafted based on a person with extremely good luck."
"Perhaps this Aventurine Stone can bring you good luck, Ningguang."
It is beyond doubt that Aventurine has extremely good luck, but Luo Feng doesn't think this Aventurine Stone can provide Ningguang with good luck.
What it can provide Ningguang is nothing more than the opportunity to walk the Path of Preservation.
In Luo Feng's view, Ningguang, who is willing to sacrifice her beloved Jade Chamber to protect Liyue, is qualified to walk the Path of Preservation.
And within this Aventurine Stone is contained the great authority of Preservation.
If Ningguang keeps it by her side, perhaps she might truly gain the opportunity to visit the Aeon of Preservation under Luo Fengs Blessing.
"Of course, lending you this Aventurine Stone is not without cost."
"How about this, you've already mentioned dancing before."
"Why not have you dance for me for seven days as the price?"
"The location of the dance is also not limited to Jade Chamber; it can also be upon the Astral Express."
"How about it?"
Luo Feng said, handing the Aventurine Stone to Ningguang.
"A stone that can bring good luck, and seven days' worth of dancing."
"I understand, I hope it can truly bring me good luck."
After a moment of thought, Ningguang accepted the Aventurine Stone and wore it at her waist.
Although this Aventurine Stone is not considered a precious item in the Universe,
Ningguang could not ignore Luo Feng's words about this piece of Aventurine Stone being able to bring good luck.
"Then, I wish you good luck, Ningguang."
Luo Feng said.He sincerely hoped that Ningguang could obtain a Path; this way, he would not only gain an opportunity for a lottery draw.
Furthermore, he might once again gain an opportunity to obtain authority from a Aeon.
Thinking of such a possibility, the smile on Luo Feng's face deepened.
He patted Ningguang's shoulder, turned, and pulled Guinaifen towards the distance.
[Lisa: A gem flowing from the hands of Lord Luo Feng, I'm a little envious of Ningguang.]
[Beidou: Indeed, no matter what, this Aventurine Stone would definitely be a priceless gem if placed on the Teyvat Continent.]
[Beidou: I just don't know if this gem can truly bring Ningguang good luck and wish her to embark on a certain Path.]
[Dori: Hehe, then it's my turn to appear again. Place your bets, everyone, let's bet on whether Ningguang La Signora can obtain a Path.]
[Paimon: Okay, I bet 100 Mora, Ningguang can obtain a Path!]
[Traveler: Paimon, you're too stingy, I bet 200 Mora, Ningguang can obtain a Path.]
[Paimon:...You're the same, Traveler.]
[Traveler: Ehe!]
[Beidou: Traveler is really interesting, then, I'll also bet 100,000 Mora, betting that Ningguang can obtain a Path.]
[Regrator: 1 million, Ningguang cannot obtain a Path.]
[Paimon: This... so much! Wait, you're actually betting that Ningguang cannot obtain a Path?!]
[Regrator: Don't mind it, I just think if everyone bets that Ningguang will embark on a Path, then there will be no loser. Since that's the case, I'll just be the loser.]
[Yelan: I think you truly hope that Ningguang cannot obtain The Power of Destiny.]
[Regrator: Hehe, who knows.]
...
"This is... the Astral Express?"
Guinaifen looked at the somewhat familiar surroundings and said in surprise.
"Yeah! I was thinking it's been a while since you've been a guest on my Astral Express."
"So I brought you over with a teleport to take a look."
"And by the way, you can also rest here for a while."
"I can also temporarily avoid someone's gaze."
Luo Feng said.
When talking with Ningguang, Luo Feng felt that Tingyun had been paying attention to him.
Luo Feng had already obtained enough material from Tingyun to cause her social death, so he temporarily had no interest in remaining under her gaze.
"Being able to be a guest on the Astral Express is indeed great."
"But aren't we going to witness something interesting?"
Guinaifen asked.
She was hoping to witness some explosive news through Luo Feng and then use it as material for her live stream.
Currently, she didn't want to rest yet.
"Don't worry, I will always pay attention to the situation on Stelle and their side."
"When it's time to take you for material collection, I will naturally take you."
Luo Feng said.
Next, Stelle and the others are definitely going to the Divination Commission to witness Fu Xuan interrogating the Stellaron Hunter Kafka.
This process might reveal some secrets of the Divination Commission, and Luo Feng felt it would be better not to take Guinaifen, an Outlander residing on the XIanzhou, to join in the fun.
"Alright, since you, Luo Feng, have said so."
Guinaifen nodded and looked at Luo Feng curiously again.
"By the way, Luo Feng, do you still have the Aventurine Stone that can bring good luck that you gave to Ningguang earlier?"
Guinaifen asked.
Luo Feng: "Why, do you want a piece of Aventurine Stone too?"
Guinaifen: "Well... I always feel like my luck hasn't been very good lately, so I was thinking it would be great if I could borrow a piece of Aventurine Stone from you to turn my luck around."
Saying this, Guinaifen scratched the back of her head a little awkwardly.
"Unfortunately, I don't have another piece of Aventurine Stone on hand for now...."
"Also, the Aventurine Stone I gave to Ningguang cannot bring good luck...."
Luo Feng said.
"Huh?"
"But didn't you just tell Ningguang it could bring good luck?"Guinaifen showed a confused expression.
"That was just to comfort Ningguang."
"However, although it cannot bring good luck to Ningguang, it might bring her help."
"After all, that piece of Aventurine Stone is actually not ordinary."
Luo Feng said.
"Not ordinary?"
Guinaifen became even more confused.
"That is a Aventurine Stone containing the power of a Preservation Emanator."
"If Ningguang is fated with the Path of Preservation, she should be able to obtain The Power of Destiny through it."
"If she can embark on the Path of Preservation, she can even use that piece of Aventurine Stone and temporarily borrow the power of a Preservation Emanator for herself."
Luo Feng smiled.
Before teleporting back to the Astral Express with Guinaifen, he had already granted Ningguang permission to use the Aventurine Stone.
Of course, the prerequisite is that she can truly awaken Path Power of the Path of Preservation.
As for the possibility that the Aventurine Stone might become unusable after Ningguang uses it, it's not a big deal for Luo Feng.
If Ningguang can use the Aventurine Stone, it also means that Luo Feng can gain an opportunity for a lottery draw and possibly an opportunity to obtain authority from a Aeon.
In summary, Ningguang might profit, but he definitely won't lose.
"Preservation Emanator?!"
At this moment, a surprised cry came from the side.Luo Feng turned his head to look, and the person speaking was Cocolia, dressed in a proper maid outfit.
"master, since it is a gem that can invoke the great authority of a Preservation Emanator."
"Is there really no problem lending it to Ningguang?"
"With her current strength, she might not be able to protect this gem."
Cocolia said worriedly.
As things stand, Cocolia is no longer the Belobog Supreme Guardian who knew nothing.
Now, she knows what kind of power a Preservation Emanator represents.
"It's alright, it's a one-time use item anyway."
"Even if that gem breaks by her side, it doesn't matter."
Luo Feng waved his hand, saying indifferently.
"By the way, Cocolia, are you here alone?"
"Did Himeko go back?"
Luo Feng asked.
"Himeko took some food back to see Pom-Pom, maybe she will come over later."
Cocolia said.
Since Luo Feng didn't care about that Aventurine Stone, she couldn't say anything more.
"In that case, I should go take a bath."
Luo Feng stretched lazily and walked towards the next carriage.
After acting for so long with Tingyun in the room, he had gotten a lot of her scent on him.
This kind of smell wasn't strong, but it wasn't weak either.
If he didn't wash it off, it might cause some misunderstandings among people with sensitive noses.
Coincidentally, Cocolia was one of those with a sensitive sense of smell.
When Luo Feng passed by her, she sniffed her nose and clearly smelled a faint feminine scent.
"I'll draw hot water for you first."
Although Cocolia was puzzled, she didn't forget her duty as a maid.
"I can do it myself, you should entertain Guinaifen."
As he finished speaking, Luo Feng had already entered the next carriage.
Seeing this, Cocolia couldn't help but purse her lips, looking a little disappointed.But soon, she cheered up and looked at Guinaifen.
Cocolia: "Guinaifen, do you need anything?"
Guinaifen waved her hands repeatedly and said:
"No need to trouble yourself, I'll just sit here casually."
"If you have things to do, Cocolia, just go take care of them."
Cocolia nodded, not being overly polite either.
After preparing some basic snacks and tea for Guinaifen, she quickly entered the next carriage, returned to her room, and quickly changed into another maid outfit.
In fact, even without the maid elements, this maid outfit could even be considered a swimsuit.
"master has a strong feminine scent on him, and it seems to be all over his body."
"Is it a passenger from the Teyvat Continent? Or is it a Xianzhou?"
Cocolia muttered to herself, putting on the pair of stockings she used to wear, a determined light flashing in her eyes.
"Anyway, now is a chance."
"Cocolia, you must seize this opportunity."
Cocolia patted her cheeks, cheered herself up, and headed towards Luo Feng's bathroom with an excited heart.
...
Chapter 332 Hu Tao: If The Ambrosial Arbor can grow this big, maybe the Ambrosial Arbor Bonsai on the Astral Express can too?
Astral Express.
Bathroom.
Creak—As the sound of the door opening echoed, Luo Feng, who was lying in the bathtub, slightly opened his eyes.
"It's you, Cocolia, is something wrong?"
Luo Feng glanced at Cocolia, and seeing her dressed in an outfit extremely alluring to the opposite sex, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I thought master might need me to scrub his back, so I came over."
Cocolia held up the bath towel in her hand and said somewhat nervously.
"Although I wanted to say you don't need to help me scrub my back."
"But since you're already here, come on in."
Thinking that refusing a woman who had dressed up beautifully to come was too cruel, Luo Feng didn't stop Cocolia this time.
Hearing this, Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief and gently stepped behind Luo Feng.
And used the white bath towel in her hand to rhythmically scrub Luo Feng's back.
"Mas... master, is the pressure alright?"
Cocolia asked while scrubbing his back.
Luo Feng: "It's fine, it's hard on you, a former Supreme Guardian, doing these things for me."
Cocolia: "This is what I should do, master."
From the moment she followed Luo Feng away from Belobog, Cocolia had already prepared herself mentally to do anything for Luo Feng.
However, although she was mentally prepared, she hadn't yet mastered the skills for various maid duties.
Other things were fine, but tasks like scrubbing a back required direct physical contact.
Cocolia had also secretly practiced many times before she dared to actually do it.
"I can tell you've put in a lot of work."
"But... scrubbing my back is just scrubbing my back, was it necessary to change into this outfit?"
"Isn't there a bit too little fabric?"
Luo Feng said, turning his head to look at Cocolia.
Luo Feng had to admit that Cocolia had an excellent figure.
Curvy where she should be, slender where she should be.
In terms of figure, Cocolia was even much better than Phantylia in the form of Tingyun.
To surpass Cocolia, Phantylia would probably need to get The Ambrosial Arbor to create an even more massive body.
"I... I thought master would like me this way."
Cocolia pursed her lips, finding it hard to imagine that the once immensely majestic Cocolia would have such a shy expression.
"Like is like, after all, you have great assets."
"I have to say, after putting on this outfit that looks like both a maid outfit and a swimsuit, your charm has risen another level."
Luo Feng said.
Hearing Luo Feng's praise, Cocolia felt her heart race, and it was as if she gained another boost of confidence, her movements becoming a little bolder.
She leaned slightly forward, putting a little bit of her body weight on Luo Feng's back, and the towel in her hand slowly went over Luo Feng's shoulders and back, reaching his front.
"This doesn't seem like scrubbing my back anymore, Cocolia."
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow and said.
"Um... that, master, c-can I bathe with you?"
Cocolia pursed her lips, her voice getting softer and softer.
"Are you serious?"
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow and asked.Cocolia nodded heavily.
Having finally seized such an opportunity, she didn't want to waste it.
"Let me guess, are you trying to repay my kindness, or are you trying to tie me to Belobog?"
"Or perhaps, you want me to also open the Path of Trailblaze for you, just like I opened the trailblazers path for the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata."
Luo Feng asked.
"Both, both!"
Cocolia said softly.
After seeing Luo Feng open the trailblazers path for the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata,
Cocolia realized that she wasn't truly a member of the Astral Express in the real sense.
Therefore, she was exceptionally nervous, afraid that one day Luo Feng would drive her off the Astral Express.
If that happened, she would return to the situation where she wanted to commit suicide.
Although suicide could end everything, thinking that Bronya would be sad and pained for her, Cocolia felt unable to bear it.
"You're quite honest, Cocolia."
"Alright, seeing as you're sweating from nervousness, come on in."
Luo Feng said.
"Really... really?"
Cocolia looked up in pleasant surprise.
"I won't say it a second time."
Luo Feng sat up straight and pointed to the spot in front of him.
Hearing this, Cocolia nearly jumped for joy.
She took a deep breath and carefully climbed into the bathtub, afraid that too much movement would displease Luo Feng.
"Actually, even if you hadn't asked, I would have found a time to open the Path of Trailblaze for you."
"After all, I can't go back on my promise to Bronya."
"If I kicked you off the Astral Express, she would be sad."Luo Feng said, extending his hand and placing it on Cocolia's forehead.
Cocolia: "Master..."
Luo Feng: "Don't speak. Opening the Path of Trailblaze will make you hurt a little."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Cocolia to react, Luo Feng directly activated his own Trailblaze authority.
A dazzling light enveloped Cocolia.Vaguely, a brand new Path gradually formed on Cocolia...
"The power consumed is more than when I led Greater Lord Rukkhadevata to the trailblazers path."
"Sure enough, the stronger a person is, the more Imaginary Energy is needed to lead them to the trailblazers path."
Luo Feng muttered to himself, glancing at Cocolia, who was covered in sweat.
"How is it? You should be at ease now, Cocolia."
Luo Feng asked.
"Mm."Cocolia could barely suppress the joy in her heart; she clearly felt a brand new power.
Looking at the man she served, Cocolia mustered her courage and buried her head in Luo Feng's embrace.
"Master, let me serve you."
"I promise, I will make you more comfortable than before."
Cocolia said softly, her face flushed.
"Before?"
Luo Feng looked at Cocolia, puzzled."
Well, I didn't mean to, but I smelled the scent of other women on you earlier."
Cocolia said.
"I see. Your sense of smell is quite keen, but to some extent, that person doesn't count as a woman.
"Luo Feng said.
"Not a woman?"
"Could it be a man?"
Cocolia was startled.
"No... no matter."
"Even if you also like men, Master, I am still your property."
Cocolia said.
"Hey, what are you thinking?"
"I am a very normal man."
"What I mean is, the person I was with earlier was an Heliobus who transformed into a woman."
Luo Feng flicked Cocolia's forehead, saying with a wry smile.
"I-I'm sorry!"
Realizing her misunderstanding, Cocolia quickly apologized."
Hmph, don't misunderstand again in the future."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for punishing you."
Luo Feng said.
Hearing this, Cocolia nodded quickly.
"However, although that person was an Heliobus, the woman she transformed into was quite beautiful."
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for her desperately tempting me, leaving me feeling somewhat unsatisfied..."
"I probably wouldn't have you sitting opposite me right now."
Luo Feng said.
"I see. It seems I need to thank this Heliobus."
Cocolia said seriously.
Luo Feng shook his head and said:
"There's no need to thank her; that person isn't a good person."
"By the way, keep the matter about this Heliobus a secret for now, understand?"
"Understood."
Cocolia nodded heavily, then took a deep breath, moving closer to Luo Feng.
"Master, now, please relax..."
Cocolia's voice was gentle, indulgent, and full of allure at this moment.
Feeling Cocolia's tenderness, Bronya's image involuntarily reappeared in Luo Feng's mind
.'Shouldn't Bronya be calling me father now?'
Luo Feng thought to himself...
Xianzhou Luofu.
Artificers Workshop.
Neuvillette, Baizhu, Ningguang, and the group consisting of Stelle, March 7th, and Welt Yang, who had successfully met up, were walking unhurriedly towards their destination.
"Miss Ningguang, did our benefactor say when he would return?"
As they were about to reach the Starskiff port leading to the Divination Commission, Tingyun finally couldn't help but ask Ningguang.
"Miss Tingyun really cares about Sir Luo Feng."
"This is the tenth time you've asked that question along the way."
Ningguang said.
"Mm, this humble girl indeed cares deeply about our benefactor."
Tingyun smiled and nodded.
How could she not care?
Luo Feng was the key figure in her being able to maximize the effect of the light cone
"On the Fall of an Aeon."
While in Exalting Sanctum, she had been keeping an eye on Luo Feng.
Who knew that Luo Feng would then directly use the Trailblaze authority to instantly return from Exalting Sanctum to the Astral Express?
This caused her to instantly lose track of Luo Feng's location.
"Miss Tingyun, there's no need to worry. Since Sir Luo Feng promised you he would return..."
"Then he will naturally appear before you at the appropriate time."
As Ningguang was speaking, the exclamations from March 7th, Mona, and others nearby suddenly caught Ningguang's attention.
She turned her head and saw March 7th, Mona, and the others staring wide-eyed at a colossal tree towering into the clouds in the distance.
"This is?"
Ningguang murmured to herself, also curiously walking towards March 7th, Mona, and the others.
The roadside lights glinted off the Aventurine Stone Ningguang wore at her waist, reflecting a jade green light.
Tingyun, who hadn't gotten the answer she wanted, had her eyes momentarily dazzled by the jade green light and unhappily glanced at the Aventurine Stone.
However, no matter how displeased she was, she could only continue to act alongside Ningguang, Mona, and the others at this moment.
After all, as long as Ningguang, Mona, and the others were still here, Luo Feng would most likely reappear.
"So... so big, what is that thing?"
Mona exclaimed.
"Looks like a giant tree?"
Ningguang said uncertainly.
"Ah, that is an ancient tree called The Ambrosial Arbor."
"It was once the proud treasure of the Xianzhou Luofu."
Tingyun walked to Ningguang and the others, stopping her steps.
"Is that The Ambrosial Arbor?"
"So The Ambrosial Arbor is this huge!"
Ningguang thought of the tiny "The Ambrosial Arbor" on the Astral Express, feeling a bit emotional.
Qingque: "Speaking of size, the current The Ambrosial Arbor is much smaller compared to when it was still growing luxuriantly."
Hu Tao: "No way, it can be even bigger!"
Hu Tao's eyes widened as she looked at Qingque.
The Ambrosial Arbor before her was already taller and grander than any mountain she had seen in Teyvat.
Just how luxuriant must The Ambrosial Arbor have been during its peak?Qingque nodded and said:
"That's right. According to ancient records, The Ambrosial Arbor at its peak was said to 'climb the dome and hang the stars'."
[Tartaglia: Lord Luo Feng was very right, the way the Xianzhou people speak is indeed very similar to the Liyue people.
Uh... can someone from Liyue explain what 'climb the dome and hang the stars' means?]
[Granny Ping: Climb the dome! If I haven't misunderstood, it should mean that the peak The Ambrosial Arbor could climb into the sky in terms of height...
no, this should perhaps be called the Universe.]
[Mountain Shaper: Hanging the stars, that means The Ambrosial Arbor's branches could hang down stars, right?]
[Tartaglia: Hang down stars? If it could really do that, The Ambrosial Arbor would be too big.]
[Barbatos: Should I say The Ambrosial Arbor is worthy of being something directly bestowed by Yaoshi the Abundance?]
"The Ambrosial Arbor could actually become this huge."
"In other words, is it possible for the potted plant at Luo Feng's place to also grow this big?"
Hu Tao muttered to herself.
She still remembered how the potted plant grew wildly when Luo Feng first picked it.
"Potted plant?"
Tingyun heard Hu Tao's murmur and looked over in confusion.
"Nothing, nothing, I was just talking to myself."
Hu Tao quickly waved her hand.
She didn't want to expose the things on Luo Feng's Astral Express, although Luo Feng didn't seem to mind some people on the XIanzhou knowing that his Astral Express had Abundance creations.
But thinking that there was still the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus on this Xianzhou, Hu Tao felt it was better to keep a low profile.
Tingyun gave Hu Tao a strange look, then glanced at March 7th who was looking at The Ambrosial Arbor in surprise.
She remembered that March 7th had also mentioned the potted plant on Luo Feng's Astral Express before.
Furthermore, March 7th even called that potted plant the little The Ambrosial Arbor!
'It shouldn't be what I'm thinking, right.'
Tingyun frowned slightly, thinking in her heart.
"Such a huge Abundance creation, no wonder it could turn all the Xianzhou Alliance people into Chang Sheng."
"Speaking of which, although only half of its body is left, it doesn't seem to have completely withered."
After sighing, Baizhu looked at Qingque in confusion.
"That thing is something left behind by Aeon of Abundance after all."
"Although Reignbow Arbiter used an arrow to break The Ambrosial Arbor, the remaining part is not something we mortals can clear away."
Qingque spread her hands and said.
"Cannot clear it away... Then aren't you worried that it might suddenly grow one day?"
Hu Tao asked.
Since there was the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus on the Xianzhou, Hu Tao thought perhaps Dan Shu would try to revive The Ambrosial Arbor.
"What's there to worry about? I see The Ambrosial Arbor every day on my way to and from work."
"It's been in this state for many years, with no signs of growth."
Qingque said indifferently.
"But... the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus..."
Stelle pursed her lips, thinking of Dan Shu who had left earlier.
"The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus might have the idea of making The Ambrosial Arbor grow again."
"But the roots of The Ambrosial Arbor are sealed by the Vidyadhara using a special method."
"Let alone the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus having no way to make The Ambrosial Arbor grow again."
"Even if they had such a method, they shouldn't even think about approaching The Ambrosial Arbor of the Xianzhou Luofu."
Qingque waved her hand, a confident smile appearing on her face.
.........
Chapter 333: This is the Matrix of Prescience?! Mona: I can't understand it at all!
"Miss Qingque is really relaxed."
"You seem completely unconcerned about the current situation on the Xianzhou."
"Whether it's the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus or the stellaron that hasn't been found yet."
Yae Miko saw Qingque's indifferent expression and couldn't help but say."Hehe, what's there to worry about?"
"Even if the sky falls, Ms. Fu Xuan is above."
"And General Jing Yuan is even higher up."
"With important people like Ms. Fu Xuan and General Jing Yuan worrying, a small person like me doesn't need to panic."
Qingque said easily.
"As expected of you, who could summarize the three major principles of slacking."
Keqing supported her forehead with one hand and said sheepishly.
"I'll take that as a compliment."
Qingque smiled at Keqing, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"In any case, let's continue on our way."
After Qingque finished speaking, she took the lead and continued to guide everyone.Seeing this, Star, Ningguang, Mona, and the others naturally followed closely behind.Before long, everyone arrived at the location of the Divination Commission."Everyone, we've arrived."
"Ahead is the large Jade Abacus computing array that my Divination Commission is proud of, the 'Matrix of Prescience'."
Qingque stopped and pointed with a smile at the large formation ahead.
"Um, does the entire area ahead belong to the Matrix of Prescience?"
Mona looked at Qingque curiously.
"That's right!"
Qingque smiled and nodded.
"So big, and the design is so intricate!"
"Is this the device the Xianzhou use for Astrology?"
Mona walked forward, looking at the front curiously.
In the center, on the circular ground base, mysterious patterns were engraved, seemingly connected to the various devices around.
Although Mona considered herself a decent Astrologer.
Looking at the Matrix of Prescience before her, she felt she couldn't understand it at all.
Not only that, but even her Master Barbeloth was the same.
[Barbeloth: I don't understand, I completely don't understand!]
[Alice: It's okay, after all, it's a divination array from the Xianzhou, there's no shame in not understanding it.]
[Barbeloth: Hehe, thank you so much for your comfort, Alice.]
[Alice: You're welcome.]
[Barbeloth:...][Cloud Retainer: It looks like an exquisite mechanism, but I can't understand it.]
[Lisa: This Matrix of Prescience is much more exquisite than a golden automaton.]
"It's normal for it to be exquisite."
"After all, this Matrix of Prescience can answer almost any question."
Miss Qingque said.
Mona: "An... any question?"
Miss Qingque smiled and nodded:
"That's right! Whether it's the evolution of heavenly principles or the cycle of life."
"As long as there is enough information, it can answer any question."
"After all, the talismans and principles within the Matrix of Prescience were learned from the erudition aeon, the Omniscient Heavenly Sovereign."
[Cloud Retainer: Nous? The erudition aeon!]
[Lisa: The Xianzhou actually has products from Nous?]
[Alice: I told you there's no shame in not understanding it, Barbeloth, the Matrix of Prescience uses the technology of the erudition aeon.]
[Barbeloth:...]
[Dr.: I didn't expect the Xianzhou Alliance to have some connection with the erudition aeon, technology from Nous...
Could it be that someone from the Xianzhou has also paid respects to Nous?]
"As long as there is enough information, it can perform deductions?"
Mona pursed her lips and looked at Miss Qingque.
"Miss Qingque, since you are from the Divination Commission."
"Then you must know the specific principles of the Matrix of Prescience's operation, right?"
Mona asked.
Miss Qingque: "You're very curious?"
Mona: "Yes! Well, if it's not convenient to disclose, please pretend I didn't ask."
Miss Qingque waved her hand and said casually:
"It's okay, it's okay. The Matrix of Prescience utilizes the knowledge of Nous."
"Therefore, it is too profound, even if I wanted to reveal some secrets of the Matrix of Prescience to you, I couldn't."
"And the things I can reveal to you about the Matrix of Prescience are not secrets that cannot be told to others."
Upon hearing this, Mona quickly asked:
"Please teach me, Miss Qingque!
"Although she couldn't hear the deeper secrets of the Matrix of Prescience, Mona was still willing to learn more about it.
"There's no need to be so polite, the Matrix of Prescience simply retrieves information from three aspects: time, causality, and space, and then performs deductions and divinations."
"Later, when the Grand Astrologer interrogates the Stellaron Hunter Kafka, you will naturally see how the Matrix of Prescience operates."
Miss Qingque said."Using the Matrix of Prescience to interrogate Kafka, is this why Miss Fu Xuan brought Kafka to the Divination Commission?"
Morax rested his chin on one hand and murmured.
"Retrieving information about time, causality, and space, and then performing deductions on Kafka!"
"I wonder what kind of scene that will be."A light called curiosity flickered in Mona's eyes.
"You'll know later."
"Ms. Fu Xuan should already be waiting for you at the center of the Matrix of Prescience."
"Let's go over, everyone."
Miss Qingque waved at everyone and led the way towards the center of the Matrix of Prescience.
Indeed, it wasn't long before everyone saw the 3D projections of Fu Xuan and General Jing Yuan talking, as well as Kafka, who was wearing handcuffs and being guarded by the Cloud Knights.
[Tartaglia: Is it finally starting, the interrogation of Kafka.]
[Alice: We can finally know why Kafka, who carries Elio's prophecy, was arrested by Fu Xuan.
Is it because Fu Xuan's divination interrupted Elio's prophecy,or is it because Kafka was voluntarily captured? Everything, in fact, is within Elio's prophecy.]
[Barbeloth: Elio's prophecy is certainly intriguing, but I'm more interested in seeing how the Matrix of Prescience performs deductions on Kafka.
Using the Matrix of Prescience, will Fu Xuan and the others be able to obtain the information they want from Kafka?]
[Rhinedottir: To some extent, this can be considered a confrontation between the Matrix of Prescience's divination and Elio's prophecy.]
[Barbatos: In any case, we can finally resolve the question of why Kafka was arrested, right?
Moreover, we can also get a good look at how the Xianzhou use the Matrix of Prescience for divination and prediction.
After hearing Miss Qingque's description of the Matrix of Prescience, I'm extremely curious about it.]
[Arataki Itto: Strange.]
[Kuki Shinobu: What's wrong, boss?]
[Arataki Itto: Seeing Fu Xuan, I always feel there's something strange, but I can't remember what's strange?]
[Kuki Shinobu: Something strange, huh...]
.........
"Everyone, you're here."
General Jing Yuan's 3D projection noticed the arrival of Stelle, Ningguang, and the others, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
Fu Xuan also turned around, her face maintaining its usual serious expression.
"I heard from General Jing Yuan that you previously interacted with Dan Shu, who claimed to be the Helm Master of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, right?"
Fu Xuan's gaze swept over Baizhu, Qiqi, Stelle, Hu Tao, Neuvillette, and the others, and she said.
Previously, Stelle had already told General Jing Yuan's assistant, Qing Que, the relevant information via phone.
Upon receiving such important news, Qing Que naturally informed General Jing Yuan immediately.
"Sorry, we didn't capture her."
Neuvillette said.
"There's no need to apologize, everyone. You've already helped a great deal by helping us uncover the Helm Master of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."
"Rather, it is we who should be thanking you."
"Fortunately, everyone is unharmed."G
eneral Jing Yuan said solemnly.
"General Jing Yuan is right. If you were injured, it would be difficult for us to explain to Luo Feng."
"I really didn't expect that Dan Shu would be the Helm Master of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."
"Tsk, how troublesome."
Fu Xuan sighed, feeling the pain in her glabella worsen slightly, causing her to unconsciously raise her hand and touch the Dharma Eye implanted in her forehead.
Baizhu noticed this scene and couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Dan Shu once said that the bodies of the Xianzhou have a rather strong rejection of things implanted within them."
"Things implanted in the bodies of the Xianzhou will eventually be rejected."
"And this process will be very painful."
"But the Dharma Eye on Ms. Fu Xuan's forehead doesn't seem to be rejected, and you also don't seem to be paying the price of pain."
"Could it be that in this matter, Dan Shu lied to us?"
Baizhu asked.
[Arataki Itto: That's right! I knew there was something strange, it's the eye in the center of Fu Xuan's forehead!]
[Arataki Itto: What Dan Shu said about the heaven-deficient seems to not quite match up with Fu Xuan.]
[Kuki Shinobu: It's truly difficult for you to notice that, boss.]
[Chongyun: I remember Luo Feng once said that the value of the Dharma Eye on Fu Xuan's forehead surpasses the Teyvat Continent,
Could it be because this Dharma Eye is precious and special enough that Fu Xuan's body doesn't reject it?]
[Xingqiu: If Dan Shu wasn't lying about this, perhaps it's really because this eye is special enough.]
[Dr. : If that's the case, the person who can produce such a special eye is probably not an ordinary existence either.]
[Nahida: Some things in the Matrix of Prescience come from the erudition aeon. Could it be that Fu Xuan's eye is also...]
[Kaveh: Hiss! This... This explosive?!]
Hearing Baizhu's question, everyone looked at Fu Xuan curiously.
Especially Qiqi, Hu Tao, Xing, Neuvillette, and others who had experienced the Dan Shu incident.
"On this point, Dan Shu did not deceive you."
"This eye is indeed rejected by my physique, and I do feel pain because of it."
"All I did was prevent its rejection and endure the pain."
Fu Xuan replied after a moment of silence.
"It still hurts? Isn't that very dangerous?!"
Keqing said.
"Can't you take it off?"
"Dan Shu said this pain could even lead to Xianzhou becoming Mara-Struck!"
Hu Tao looked at Fu Xuan, both confused and worried.
"Knowledge should be gained through suffering; only then can one traverse numerous possibilities."
"This is my choice, so I will not remove the eye."
Fu Xuan said with a serious expression.
"Traversing numerous possibilities, and then choosing the best possibility from them."
Mona murmured.
As a diviner, Mona naturally understood Fu Xuan's choice.
By doing this, Fu Xuan was undoubtedly planning to choose the best Path for the Xianzhou Luofu.
Regarding this, Mona only felt admiration for Fu Xuan.
"I still can't quite understand!"
Hu Tao shook her head and said:
"Although Luo Feng said that your eye is so precious it's worth more than our world."
"But you don't have to risk becoming Mara-Struck by engraving it on your forehead. That's too dangerous."
"If you really become Mara-Struck, no matter how precious this eye is, it will be useless, right?"
Hearing this, Fu Xuan looked over curiously.
"I have my own method for enduring pain. You don't need to worry about that."
"However, your previous words made me a bit curious."
"Luo Feng told you about my eye?"
Fu Xuan asked curiously.
Hearing this, Hu Tao and the others nodded in agreement.
"Does Luo Feng even know that my eye comes from the Nous?"
"That's right, Luo Feng is acquainted with Herta, so naturally he would know that I visited the Nous and obtained the eye from It."
Fu Xuan murmured to herself.Hearing her words, Hu Tao and the others' eyes immediately widened.
[Kaveh: R-Really! Fu Xuan's eye really comes from the Nous!]
[Dori: Good heavens! A treasure from the Nous! No wonder Luo Feng said that this eye couldn't be bought even if you sold several Teyvat Continents.]
[Barbeloth: Alas, should I really give up on the idea of getting that eye?]
[Alice: Perhaps one day when you meet the Nous through Luo Feng, you can ask the Nous for an eye.]
[Barbeloth: The premise is that I can first get a ticket from Lord Luo Feng. However, although visiting the erudition aeon is very appealing, I am more interested in visiting Terminus.]
[Dr.: This Fu Xuan has actually visited the Nous. It seems we cannot underestimate this diviner from the Divination Commission.]
[La Signora: Hmph, nonsense! Fu Xuan is the leader of the Divination Commission. Naturally, she cannot be underestimated.]
[Dr.: Heh heh, aren't you curious, La Signora? Someone who believes in the Hunt Aeon, yet visited the Nous.]
Which Path do you think she is walking on?
[La Signora: Be it the the Hunt or the Path of Erudition, this does not change the fact that Fu Xuan works for the Xianzhou.]
[Dr.: You're right! However, it's possible to obtain an eye from the Nous when meeting It?It seems this Nous also has a generous side, just like Yaoshi the Abundance.]
"Why do you all have such expressions?"
"Did Luo Feng not tell you the truth about my eye?"
Fu Xuan looked strangely at Hu Tao, Baizhu, and the others who looked surprised.
" Luo Feng only told us that your eye is extremely precious."
"He didn't mention its origin, though."
"However, I think he must know about it."
Baizhu shook his head and said.
"It seems I spoke out of turn.""It's fine, it's not a big deal anyway."
"Compared to this, are you ready to observe the interrogation of Kafka?"
Fu Xuan asked, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.
Chapter 334: Maybe Luo Feng Can Pull the Aeon of Preservation and Aeon of Abundance to Gang Up on the Aeon of Destruction
"Is it finally starting? I thought you were going to forget about me."
Seeing that Fu Xuan finally focused her gaze on her, Kafka said with a light chuckle.
"It sounds like you're more impatient than I am?"
Fu Xuan frowned.
Kafka: "After all, if you count the time, it's now time for you to interrogate me."
Fu Xuan: "Oh, did Elio's prophecy tell you that?"
Kafka smiled, but didn't answer Fu Xuan. Instead, she looked at Jing Yuan's 3D projection nearby with some confusion.
"What is Miss Kafka doing?"
"Does my presence here concern you greatly?"
Jing Yuan asked.
Kafka: "Just a little."
Jing Yuan chuckled:
"Heh heh, it seems this wasn't in Elio's script."
Jing Yuan was right. In Elio's script, Jing Yuan shouldn't have been there at this time.
Not just Jing Yuan, but Ningguang, Mona, Morax, and others shouldn't have been here either.
'It must be Luo Feng.'
Kafka thought to herself.Given the current situation, she could only attribute the variable to Luo Feng.
Fortunately, this variable wasn't significant, which allowed Kafka to walk towards the center of the Matrix of Prescience with a little more peace of mind.
Seeing Kafka in position, Fu Xuan immediately invoked the Path power within her body to activate the Matrix of Prescience.
As purplish-red light rose from Fu Xuan, the entire Matrix of Prescience instantly erupted with immense energy.
At the center, a mysterious and profound power enveloped Kafka, lifting her about 5 meters into the air.
Information regarding her arrival at the Xianzhou Luofu continuously flowed through the formation to Fu Xuan's eye.
As she learned more and more, Fu Xuan's expression became increasingly surprised.On the contrary, Kafka revealed a smile filled with meaning.
[Dehya: Strange, looking at their expressions, it's almost as if Fu Xuan is the one being interrogated, and Kafka is the interrogator?]
[Kaveh: Fu Xuan seems very surprised. Did she not detect any useful information?]
Elio's ability surpassed that of the Matrix of Prescience?
The Matrix of Prescience didn't work?
[Alhaitham: Or the Matrix of Prescience already took effect, it's just that the information Fu Xuan saw was too surprising for her.]
[Alice: What do you think, Barbeloth?]
[Barbeloth: Can't understand! But no matter what the result of Fu Xuan's divination is, I already know that the Matrix of Prescience is far, far more exquisite than my divination method.]
[Barbeloth: Damn it, my disciple's luck is too good.]
If only I could be on the Xianzhou Luofu at this moment.
......
"How was it? Did you like this truth?"
After the interrogation, Kafka said to Fu Xuan with a smile.
"How could... it be like this!"
Fu Xuan stared intently at Kafka, saying.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"What's the situation now?"
Mona asked somewhat nervously.
When the Matrix of Prescience unfolded earlier, she clearly felt an extremely peculiar power enveloping the entire area.
That mysterious power was clearly countless times more exquisite than her Hydro Divination Orb.
Now, she was particularly curious about the result of Fu Xuan's interrogation of Kafka.
"Fu Xuan / Minister Fu, what's the answer?"
Jing Yuan's projection also walked over.
"General, the star nucleus is unrelated to the Stellaron Hunters."
"However, the Astral Express, they are related to the stellaron."
Fu Xuan said.
"Huh?! Related to us?"
Hu Tao pointed at herself in surprise.
"Not you, but them."
Fu Xuan looked at Stelle, March 7th, and Welt Yang who were present and said.
Hearing this, March 7th, Stelle, and Welt Yang were even more bewildered.
Fortunately, Fu Xuan was in a hurry to tell Jing Yuan what she had seen.
Therefore, March 7th and the others were not confused for too long.
Fu Xuan used the most concise words to tell Jing Yuan that Kafka had come to facilitate the connection between Himeko's Astral Express and the Xianzhou Alliance, and that The Ambrosial Arbor would soon revive, among other things.
"What, what?"
"The Ambrosial Arbor is about to revive? Is this true or false?"
"Didn't Miss Qingque say earlier that The Ambrosial Arbor couldn't possibly revive?"
Hu Tao asked in surprise."
Kafka has been acting according to Elio's prophecy, was even being captured part of the prophecy?"
"Not only that, did the Matrix of Prescience also work and probe Kafka's inner thoughts?"
Mona propped her chin with one hand, looking curiously at The Ambrosial Arbor in the distance.
"To prove these two points, The Ambrosial Arbor only needs to truly revive..."
Morax had not even finished speaking when a huge tremor suddenly descended upon the entire Divination Commission
.No, it should be said that the entire Xianzhou Luofu experienced a massive tremor.
"Wha-wha-wha-wha-what, what is that!!!"
Hu Tao's mouth was wide open as she pointed ahead in surprise.
"That is... The Ambrosial Arbor!"
"The Ambrosial Arbor has really revived!"
Ningguang murmured.
"It's actually so towering into the clouds!"
"The entire Xianzhou must be able to see its existence."
While Baizhu sighed with emotion, a faint glint flickered in his eyes.
As for Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan, the moment they saw The Ambrosial Arbor revive, they immediately took out their communication devices to contact the people they needed to contact now.
[Nahida: The Ambrosial Arbor, did it still revive after all?]
[Dr.: And the stellaron caused The Ambrosial Arbor's revival. Interesting, the star nucleus actually has such an ability.]
[Kaveh: Even the revival of The Ambrosial Arbor was predicted, so Kafka was really captured willingly, all of this was within Elio's prophecy!]
[Nilou: No wonder Kafka didn't resist much when Fu Xuan appeared at that time.]
[Alice: It was actually to connect the Starcruiser with Himeko's side of the Astral Express, the relationship between these Stellaron Hunters and the Astral Express is indeed not simple.
[Dori: Should I say it's worthy of Elio's prophecy?]
He accurately predicted everything about Kafka's current action.
If only I could have such prophetic ability, then I would definitely have an inexhaustible supply of Mora.]
[Alhaitham: Elio predicted everything that happened on the Xianzhou, and the Matrix of Prescience observed all of this through Fu Xuan.
In the end, both Elio's prophecy and the Matrix of Prescience played a role.]
[Lisa: Elio's prophecy is indeed excellent, he even predicted that Fu Xuan would use the Matrix of Prescience on Kafka, and thus only told Kafka what she needed to know.]
[Barbeloth: To be able to predict this far, no wonder Elio has the title of "Slave of Destiny."The Matrix of Prescience being able to detect what a character like Kafka is thinking is also quite remarkable.]
[Barbeloth: Alas, I really want to see this Matrix of Prescience up close more and more.]
[Arataki Itto: I don't quite understand, why would the Stellaron Hunters build a bridge for the Xianzhou and the Astral Express? This has nothing to do with them, right.]
[Kuki Shinobu: Perhaps, in the future that Elio observed, what they did today will help them reach the future they most want to reach.]
[Arataki Itto: So, what kind of future is that!]
......
"I now believe you did all this without malice."
"However, can you tell me what kind of future you actually want?"
Stelle looked at Kafka in front of her and asked.
Her words also made the Tivat People who were originally thinking about something look over.
Kafka shook her head and said:
"As I said, Elio did not tell me the key information."
"Learning the right thing at the wrong time will also turn our efforts into nothing."
"I can only tell you one thing, and that is in the best and worst futures, you will eventually face the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook."
"At that time, you will need all the help to help you resist the Destruction Nanook."
Stelle's eyes widened slightly:
"Nanook, that guy with blood flowing from his chest?"
"Hiss..."
Hu Tao took a sharp breath:
"I really heard some incredible information."
Kafka nodded to Stelle and said:
"It is Him! In most futures, destiny ends at the moment of facing the Aeon of Destruction."
"However, if you follow Elio's script, there will eventually be a glimmer of hope."
[Barbeloth: Is this Elio's prophecy? The Stellaron Hunters are acting to make the Astral Express capable of resisting the Aeon of Destruction?]
[Alice: Elio's prophecy even involves the Aeon of Destruction, that one is indeed quite troublesome.]
[Barbatos: If the opponent is a Aeon, you can never have too many helpers.]
[Furina: Even... even so, Star and their future is too grim!]
Stelle blinked and said:
"So we have to deal with Nanook? It sounds pretty dangerous."
Kafka: "So, are you interested in following Elio's script?"
Stelle: "But we have Luo Feng, Luo Feng will always be able to deal with Nanook in the future, right."
Kafka: "..."
[Furina: That's right, the Astral Express isn't just Himeko and her group, Luo Feng is also from the Astral Express!]
[La Signora: Luo Feng represents Trailblaze, and I firmly believe he will regain his former power one day.]
[Dehya: Phew, I suddenly feel a lot more at ease.
Once Luo Feng has completely recovered, even when facing the Aeon of Destruction, he'll surely be able to pin It to the ground and give It a good beating, right?]
[Kaiya: Given the relationship between the other Aeons and Luo Feng,
perhaps Luo Feng could even team up with the Aeon of Preservation, Aeon of Abundance, and other Aeons to beat up the Aeon of Destruction.]
[Charlotte: Could it be that the Aeon of Destruction sensed such a danger, which is why It was willing to help Klee obtain the power of Destruction Path out of respect for Luo Feng?]
[Lumine: That seems to make some sense. If Nanook can win over Luo Feng, then that guy might avoid the future of being beaten up.]
[Navia: However, given the attitude of the Aeon of Destruction, it should be difficult for It to win over Luo Feng, right?]
"Why aren't you talking, Kafka?"
Stelle tilted her head and asked in confusion.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted."
Kafka shook her head.
"That's enough talk, Stelle."
"It's about time I left."
Kafka said, forcefully breaking free from the handcuffs, turning and walking towards the edge of the Matrix of Prescience.
She couldn't answer Stelle's question, after all, even Elio couldn't predict Luo Feng's future
.'However, since Luo Feng is the Emanator of Trailblaze.'
'With him here, perhaps the future will become better?'
'Perhaps, I should meet with him again and have a chat.'
Kafka thought to herself.
For the first time, she felt that having a character like Luo Feng, who was outside the script, didn't seem so bad.
At least, Luo Feng currently represents Trailblaze, and he is extremely good to Stelle, Himeko, and the others.
Even towards them, the Stellaron Hunters, Luo Feng's attitude is quite friendly.
"Wait, where are you going, Kafka?"
Seeing Kafka jump directly from the edge of the Matrix of Prescience, Stelle quickly ran over.
However, when she looked up, she vaguely saw the disappearing figures of Kafka and another Stellaron Hunter, Blade.
"This... she ran away?"
"Miss Fu Xuan, General Jing Yuan, Kafka ran away!"
March 7th didn't see Kafka after running to Stelle's side and quickly said to the projections of Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan, who seemed to be discussing something not far away.
"Heh heh, you don't need to worry."
"The information Kafka revealed indicates that the Stellaron Hunters are not enemies of the Xianzhou Luofu."
"Compared to the Stellaron Hunters, the Xianzhoushould focus its attention on the revived The Ambrosial Arbor and the dark hand that caused its revival."
Jing Yuan said to March 7th.
"Huh?"
Hearing this completely different answer from what she expected, March 7th's head was a bit muddled.
"You don't seem too worried about the current situation, General Jing Yuan."
Ningguang asked with curiosity.
Jing Yuan: "After all, the divination on Kafka provided me with the final piece of the puzzle."
Ningguang: "Puzzle?"
Jing Yuan's projection clasped his hands and nodded:
"The Xianzhou is protected by Reignbow Arbiter. If it weren't for the Emanator of another Aeon, how could It be brought into the Luofu without my knowledge."
"Therefore, there must be external enemies on the Xianzhou Luofu."
"In addition, there are also internal troubles on the Luofu; they are the hidden evil organization Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, led by Dan Shu, which you investigated before."
"The star nucleus is eroding various parts of the Luofu, yet it can bypass the two key departments, the Seat of Divine Foresight and the Prison of Imbibitor Lunae. Clearly, the enemy possesses internal information about the Luofu."
"Therefore, there must be internal troubles on the Xianzhou Luofu. And these internal troubles, I believe, are the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus led by Dan Shu that you encountered before."
"I knew these two points a long time ago."
"Only why the Stellaron Hunters came, and why they attracted the Astral Express led by Ms. Himeko."
"This piece of the puzzle, I could never find. Until the interrogation of Kafka ended earlier."
"Hahaha, how interesting! After going in such a big circle, the Stellaron Hunters' goal was actually to connect the Xianzhou and the Astral Express. Who would have thought?"
For Jing Yuan, the Stellaron Hunters didn't need to do this at all.
When Luo Feng, a Trailblazer, appeared on the Xianzhou Luofu, the Xianzhou had already connected with the Astral Express.
"You thought of the first two points from the beginning?"
"Should I say, as expected of the General who commands the Xianzhou Luofu."
"I didn't expect General Jing Yuan to not only be exceptionally skilled in combat but also possess wisdom beyond ordinary people."
Ningguang said.
As fellow administrators, Ningguang could better appreciate Jing Yuan's wisdom
"Of course, when it comes to our Celestial Float's General Jing Yuan."
"Everyone praises his extraordinary wisdom."
"Skillfully using linked maneuvers to encircle and suppress, crossing the sea under false pretenses to seize the flag; winning battles a thousand miles away, with no oversight in planning."
"These are words that the storytellers on the Xianzhou Luofu often say."
"This is a evaluate that the other few Empyrean Guards don't have, you know."
Qingque said with a smile.For her, it was precisely because there was such a great figure as Jing Yuan that she could slack off with peace of mind.
However, as soon as her words fell, she noticed Fu Xuan glaring at her with those bright eyes.
"Of, of course, our Divination Commission's Ms. Fu Xuan is also excellent."
"The Divination Commission can operate normally, it can be said to be entirely thanks to Ms. Fu Xuan alone."
"Because of Ms. Fu Xuan's accurate divinations, the Xianzhou Luofu has avoided who knows how many dangers!"
Qingque quickly said.
"You guy... forget it!"
Fu Xuan shook her head and refocused her gaze on Jing Yuan.
'That was close, I almost forgot that Ms. Fu Xuan has the dream of becoming a General.'
Qingque patted her chest and thought to herself.
[Venti: Miss Qingque is really interesting.]
[Kaiya: To be able to slack off properly, you naturally can't forget to praise your direct superior, Fu Xuan.]
[Tea Master: Skillfully using linked maneuvers to encircle and suppress, crossing the sea under false pretenses to seize the flag; winning battles a thousand miles away, with no oversight in planning!
So the stories of General Jing Yuan of the Starcruiser are also told by storytellers.]
[Iron Tongue Tian: Amazing! Just these two lines of storytelling dialogue show how high General Jing Yuan's wisdom is!]
[Chef Mao: There's a sense of déjà vu, like the Liyue storytellers telling stories about Rex Lapis.]
[Xingqiu: General Jing Yuan is also someone with extremely legendary stories. If there's a chance, I'd like to hear a storytelling about General Jing Yuan.]
.........
Chapter 335: Ordinary Bounty Power can heal the body, could the Bounty Power of The Ambrosial Arbor bring immortality?
"To be able to become a story told by storytellers."
"General Jing Yuan must be quite legendary."
Morax said with some emotion after hearing Qingque's words.
He himself, like Jing Yuan, had become the protagonist of stories told by Liyue storytellers.
"Winning battles a thousand miles away, with no oversight in planning."
"That's truly a reassuring evaluation for our side."
Ningguang said.
"If the entire army is not united, what use is planning without oversight?"
"Relying on the Cloud Knights of the Luofu entrusting their lives, I will certainly not fail their trust."
Jing Yuan smiled.
[Gorou: How... how responsible those words are. General Jing Yuan must be an excellent commander!]
[Kujou Sara: So you think so highly of the Cloud Knights?]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: It would be wonderful if the Raiden Shogun cared for her people as much.]
[Kujou Sara: You are not to slander the Raiden Shogun like that, Sangonomiya Kokomi!]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Even if I say nothing, people can see the difference between the Xianzhou's General and the Inazuma's General, can't they?]
[Kujou Sara:...]
[Xingqiu: After hearing General Jing Yuan's words, I increasingly want to go to the Xianzhou and listen to the Xianzhou's storytellers tell a more complete story of General Jing Yuan.]
[Chongyun: As long as we can get the opportunity to go to the Xianzhou Luofu, we should be able to hear the storytellers tell the story of General Jing Yuan.]
[Yun Jin: He also has a very legendary aura about him.]
[Kaiya: Being able to figure out the internal and external troubles of the Xianzhou Luofu so early, and the storyteller's narrative also emphasized General Jing Yuan's wisdom.
It's likely that General Jing Yuan has displayed performances like today many times before.]
[Gaming: Speaking of which, Miss Qingque mentioned a term earlier, called the Seven Arbiter-Generals. Could these Seven Arbiter-Generals be people of the same rank as General Jing Yuan?]
[Diluc: I remember that the Xianzhou Alliance only has six Xianzhou. Perhaps one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals is the one who commands all the Generals.]
[Cloud Retainer: If my Remembrance serves me correctly, there seems to be a marshal among them, named Hua.]
[Beidou: Since they can all be called the Seven Arbiter-Generals, the other Seven Arbiter-Generals, including Marshal Hua, should also have considerable talent. I wonder what kind of people they are.]
......
"So, General, you must have a plan in mind to deal with the current situation."
"What should we do next?"Miss Fu Xuan asked, with her hands on her hips.
"Since the Stellaron Hunters intend to further our relationship with the Astral Express, I naturally cannot be polite."
Jing Yuan said, looking at the group of Stelle, March 7th, and Welt Yang.
"I have a feeling I'm about to be sent on an errand."
Stelle muttered.
"Is there any need to say it? As soon as the General smiles, I know we can't escape."
March 7th let out a deep sigh.
"General, isn't this against the rules?"
"The location of The Ambrosial Arbor is a secret among secrets. Allowing Outlanders to access it is a great transgression!"
Miss Fu Xuan said.
"The Ambrosial Arbor!"Baizhu's eyes lit up, and he looked over with interest.
"I know, I know."
"However, for the Xianzhou, there are rules because there is a Xianzhou."
"In times of crisis, if the rules are applicable, use them; if not, discard them."
Jing Yuan smiled and looked at the group of Morax, Neuvillette, and others.
"Moreover, Luo Feng also intends to have his passengers participate in Xianzhou matters."
"We can't be so wary of them, can we?"
Jing Yuan said.
Upon hearing this, Miss Fu Xuan immediately fell silent.
That's right, Morax, Neuvillette, and others were brought by Luo Feng.
Since Luo Feng possesses the Lighting Lord, to some extent, Morax, Neuvillette, and others are no longer considered outsiders.
Rather, Miss Fu Xuan inwardly wished that Luo Feng, Morax, Neuvillette, and others were Starcruiser's own people.
The Luofu certainly cannot refuse the participation of Morax, Neuvillette, and others.
Since that is the case, it is naturally inconvenient to refuse Star, March 7th, Welt Yang, and others who are very close to Luo Feng.
"Mm-hmm, General Jing Yuan said it well."
"Rules are meant to be broken."
"I've decided, I want to help."
Stelle said.
"You decided too quickly, didn't you?"
March 7th complained.
[Alice: Stelle is indeed very cute. I remember when she swings her baseball bat, she often says things like, "Rules are meant to be broken."]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: First there is the Xianzhou, and then there are rules.
If it is for the sake of the Xianzhou, rules can be broken.
What General Jing Yuan said is truly deafening.]
[Kamisato Ayaka: Sometimes, people always emphasize rules, but forget that rules are actually used to protect the things they need to protect.
When rules cannot protect things, they should be discarded.]
[Kamisato Ayato: General Jing Yuan is truly someone with a quick mind and is good at thinking outside the box.]
[Kaiya: It's no wonder such a person can earn the title of Wise General.]
Jing Yuan smiled with satisfaction after hearing Stelle's answer, then he turned to look at Buer, Neuvillette, Morax, Ningguang, and others.
"Could I trouble a few of you to help as well?"
Jing Yuan asked
.The Trailblazer that Kafka mentioned were just Stelle and her group.
Since that was the case, Jing Yuan felt it was better to ask about Buer and her group.
"What do you think?"
Buer turned her head and looked at Baizhu, Ningguang, and others.After all, this was the Starcruiser journey belonging to Ningguang, Baizhu, and others.
She was now just a Astral Express employee of Luo Feng.
On this matter, she couldn't make decisions on behalf of Morax and others.
"We have come this far, and it is no longer suitable to withdraw.
"Morax said, resting his chin on his hand.
"Moreover, I also need to find an opportunity."
Ningguang nodded.
"A trip where you can personally participate in the major events of the Xianzhou Luofu may not happen again in the future."
"I can't find a reason to quit now."
Baizhu said.
"After all, whether we can get another Astral Express ticket to the Xianzhou in the future is also unknown."
"I still want to see more about the XIanzhou."
Neuvillette also had no objection.
Although the others did not speak, they clearly had no objections.
"Thank you, everyone."
A smile appeared on Jing Yuan's face.
With Neuvillette, Buer, and others participating in the upcoming events,the possibility of Luo Feng taking action would also increase.
This result made Jing Yuan feel a sense of relief.
"Then, I will temporarily hand over the military tally to you, Miss Fu Xuan."
"You will temporarily command the Cloud Knights and provide support in the Alchemy Commission's grotto-heaven near The Ambrosial Arbor."
Jing Yuan said to Miss Fu Xuan.
Miss Fu Xuan: "Huh? Let me command the Cloud Knights? Why so sudden!
"Jing Yuan: "Didn't you often mention wanting me to abdicate and for you to become the General? Now you can get used to it, can't you?"
Miss Fu Xuan: "...Understood, I'll do as you say."
[Lumine: Good heavens, there's actually such a scene between Miss Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan!]
[Paimon: So she wants to be the Starcruiser General!]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Someone who can visit Nous naturally possesses extraordinary talent. Perhaps Miss Fu Xuan can really become a General in the future.]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: But she didn't hide this idea from General Jing Yuan, and General Jing Yuan wasn't angry.]
[Beidou: General Jing Yuan is truly a General who is not petty and has a good temper.]
"As for everyone else..." Jing Yuan looked at Ningguang, Stelle, and others:
"Then I shall trouble you to take the shortcut through the Artificers Workshop to the Alchemy Commission."
"However, with The Ambrosial Arbor reborn, you may encounter mechanical constructs that have temporarily gained life because of The Ambrosial Arbor."
"Furthermore, you may even encounter powerful Abundance Spirits that have appeared directly due to The Ambrosial Arbor."
"So please be sure to be careful."
"Abundance Spirits?"
Morax mused for a moment before asking,
"General Jing Yuan, may I ask what kind of Abundance Spirits you are referring to, and are there any precautions we should take when dealing with them?"
Neuvillette, Xiao, and the others also looked over with curiosity.
The Tivat People were already aware that Bounty Power could grant life to inanimate objects.
However, they did not know that The Ambrosial Arbor could directly create Abundance Spirits.
Since Abundance Spirits might be what they need to face next, Morax and the others felt it best to gather as much information as possible beforehand.
"These matters, I will temporarily leave to Fu Xuan / Minister Fu to inform you."
"I urgently need to attend to the matters at hand."
General Jing Yuan said, then looked at Tingyun again.
"Miss Tingyun, I shall trouble you to continue serving as the guide for the Trailblazer ones."
Upon hearing this, Tingyun said with a smile,
"What the General has entrusted, this humble girl will naturally do her utmost."
General Jing Yuan nodded, and after giving Fu Xuan a final instruction, his 3D projection disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"Everyone, follow me."
"I will first take you to the port where you can quickly reach the Artificers Workshop."
"As for your questions, I will answer them as much as possible."
Fu Xuan said.
Morax, Neuvillette, and the others heard this and stepped forward, following Fu Xuan's pace.
As Fu Xuan led the group, she said,
"The Ambrosial Arbor was severed a long time ago."
"Therefore, neither I nor General Jing Yuan have personally seen the Abundance Spirits born from The Ambrosial Arbor."
"However, I have seen descriptions of this type of Abundance Spirit by our ancestors in some ancient records."
"There is an Abundance Spirit named 'Chang You', possessing immense strength, capable of rivaling a thousand troops."
"There is an Abundance Spirit named 'Ghost Mother', covered in mist, with an unpredictable whereabouts."
"However, although these Abundance Spirits are born from The Ambrosial Arbor, they can only come into existence with human cultivation."
"If we speak of Abundance Spirits born entirely from The Ambrosial Arbor, it would probably be the Abundance Ebon Deer."
"According to the records, it is also the most dangerous Abundance Spirit.
"Morax: "The Abundance Ebon Deer, you say…"
Fu Xuan nodded and continued,
"It is said that the Abundance Ebon Deer is transformed from The Ambrosial Arbor and will actively guard The Ambrosial Arbor's root system."
"Moreover, it can link itself to The Ambrosial Arbor."
"If the root system it uses to connect with The Ambrosial Arbor is not destroyed, the Abundance Ebon Deer can repair itself at any time and place using the power of The Ambrosial Arbor."
[Lumine: Ordinary Bounty Power can easily heal injuries. If the Bounty Power within The Ambrosial Arbor is used to heal itself, wouldn't this Bountiful Hyakko become immortal?]
[Dr.: A Hyakko that can summon the power of The Ambrosial Arbor? If I could obtain it and use it for research…]
[Rhinedottir: It is indeed intriguing! Since some Abundance Spirits can be cultivated by humans, perhaps humans can also control the power of this Abundance Ebon Deer.]
[Alice: Let's not think about it. Even Fu Xuan believes this Abundance Ebon Deer is very troublesome. If it came to the Teyvat Continent, what would happen!]
[Barbatos: That's right. Even if the Teyvat Continent doesn't have The Ambrosial Arbor for the Bountiful Hyakko to have immortality, I'm afraid it's not something our small place can withstand.]
[Moon Carver: A Hyakko, you say? I wonder if Rex Lapis and the others will really encounter such an Abundance Spirit.]
[Paimon: Could it be, very similar to Moon Carver? After all, Moon Carver is also a deer.]
[Moon Carver: …]
[Cloud Retainer: Speaking of which, this Artificers Workshop seems to have many skilled craftsmen.
I didn't have time to visit before, I wonder if I can see some exquisite items this time.]
"So, if we really encounter this Abundance Ebon Deer, do we need to set fire to that root system first?"
Hu Tao stroked her chin, speaking with a thoughtful expression.
"Precisely, but the Abundance Ebon Deer is after all something recorded in past material."
"You may not encounter it.
Also, we have arrived."
Fu Xuan stopped at the port and said to Star, Ningguang, and the others.
"Thank you for leading the way, Diviner Fu."Ningguang nodded politely.
"It's nothing, it's what I should do."
"Next, I need to reorganize the Cloud Knights, so please allow me to leave first."
After bidding farewell to the group, Fu Xuan turned and walked in another direction.
Ningguang, Morax, Stelle, and the others boarded the Starskiff and headed to the Xianzhou's Artificers Workshop.
Because Fu Xuan had pointed out a shortcut for Morax and the others, it did not take them too long to reach the Artificers Workshop.
The group advanced under the guidance of Tingyun, and indeed saw many mechanical devices that had gained life due to The Ambrosial Arbor's rebirth.
Fortunately, although these enemies were not weak, with Stelle, Welt Yang, and others present, they did not delay the group for too long.
As the group moved quickly, the enormous side root of the Abundance that had appeared inside the Artificers Workshop due to The Ambrosial Arbor gradually became clear.
And within that massive side root, a Hyakko seemed to sense the presence of Stelle and the others, slowly turning its head.
