Chapter 486 : Jade is Very Dangerous; Phantylia is Awakened
Seeing that Topaz had stopped speaking, Luo Feng looked at the Teyvat Passengers and said:
"If you are fortunate enough to meet Miss Jade, you must be extremely careful of her."
"That woman is very good at squeezing people dry."
Topaz opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only let out a sigh.
"Traveler, I can tell that Jade and Topaz must have a very good relationship."
Paimon whispered into Lumine's ear.
"Mhm, so in her eyes, Ms. Jade is not such a dangerous person after all.
"Lumine kept what Luo Feng said deep in her heart.
Compared to Topaz, she was more willing to trust Luo Feng.
Aside from Aventurine and Jade, who belong to the'Stonehearts' of the Interstellar Peace Corporation along with Topaz,"
"there will also be people even more dangerous than them appearing on Penacony."
"After all, Aventurine and Jade will probably only set their sights on your wealth."
"But those more dangerous individuals might set their sights on your lives."
"All in all, everyone still needs to mentally prepare yourselves before the trip."
Luo Feng said.
"Then... will you provide us with some physical attribute-enhancing Blessing?"
"Just like what you did for Neuvillette and the others at the Xianzhou?
"Furina raised her hand with a worried look on her face."If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot."
"Very well, it's just right that everyone is here now."
"Let me add a few buffs to your heads all at once."
Luo Feng smiled, his hands gathering the powers of Abundance, Harmony, and Preservation.
Such a scene naturally left Topaz dumbfounded.Although she had long known how powerful Luo Feng was, seeing him wield so many different powers all at once still shocked Topaz quite a bit.
[Yae Miko: So Your Excellency Luo Feng simply forgot. I thought he didn't plan to provide buff bonuses for the passengers this time, what a pity.]
[Dori: Pity? You wouldn't want to see this 10h batch of passengers meet with bad luck, would you?]
[Amber: Yeah, yeah! Penacony, as Your Excellency Luo Feng described it, is so dangerous. Without the bonuses provided by Your Excellency Luo Feng, Collei and the others will be in great danger!]
[Yae Miko: How could that be? I am certainly not the kind of woman who wants to see the human passengers of this Astral Express get a little lesson.]
[Eula: Human passengers? I always feel like you're implying something.]
[Yae Miko: You're thinking too much, Young Miss Eula. Speaking of which, clearly it's a trip related to the Festival-Star,
but with Your Excellency Luo Feng putting it this way, it suddenly makes people feel that this trip is much more dangerous than imagined.]
[Eula: I always feel like you're changing the subject, but indeed, that is true.]
I originally thought it would be a very relaxing trip, but now it seems many of my thoughts were mistaken.]
[Ningguang: After all, it's a grand festival, so it's normal for many powerhouses to head there. However, since Penacony can host such a grand festival, I suppose they will put a lot of effort into security.]
[Keqing: If the passengers can keep a lower profile, perhaps they won't run into any dangerous figures.]
[Columbina: That may be said, but a figure like Your Excellency Luo Feng is a special existence even in the Universe.
Perhaps there will be some dangerous figures casting their gaze upon the passengers because of Your Excellency Luo Feng?]
[Signora: Only where there is danger are there more opportunities to embrace the Path.]
[Colubina: That's true too.]
...
"Alright, I have already applied the relevant buffs to you all."
"I believe you can feel the power within your bodies."
Luo Feng withdrew the power in his hands and said to the The Knave, Navia, and the others.
"Indeed, what a truly powerful strength."
The The Knave exclaimed with emotion.
Because of Luo Feng's buff, the The Knave even felt that she was several times stronger than before.
If someone had told her about this in the past, she definitely wouldn't have believed it.
"Powerful as it may be, do not think that you are very strong in the Universe."
"If you don't believe it, you can spar with Topaz and let her show you what an expert is."
Luo Feng looked at the The Knave, then looked at Raiden Ei.
"I'd be quite happy to accompany you, but anyone with the idea of sparring with me should do it quickly."
"After all, I need to take the Corporation's starship to head to Penacony first in a moment."
Topaz said.
Since Luo Feng still planned to look for Duke Inferno, Topaz had no way to continue following him.
She had already delayed a lot of time and next needed to hurry to Penacony to rendezvous with Aventurine.
"As for fighting or anything, let's forget it."
Paimon said with an awkward smile.
"T... That's right, we should prioritize peace above all."
Furina nodded in agreement.
"Suit yourselves."
Luo Feng shrugged and said:
"Since the respective rooms for all passengers have been found and the relevant buffs have been put in place,"
"next, the Astral Express should prepare to depart."
"Right, don't worry that you won't be able to carry out trials before arriving at Penacony."
"The 'Blessing' you want to obtain the most was already triggered when you followed me beneath this starry sky."
"R... Really?"Navia swallowed hard and looked at her own hands.
"Would I lie to you? Work hard if you wish to obtain even greater power."
Luo Feng patted Navia's shoulder, walked past the crowd, and out of the room.
The crowd hurriedly followed closely behind.Just when everyone thought Luo Feng would go straight to the parlor car, Luo Feng suddenly stopped,
turned his head to look in another direction, and then abruptly turned into a streak of white light and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"Disappeared? What happened?"
Sigewinne asked quizzically
."I don't know, I didn't see clearly."
The The Knave tightly knitted her brows.
"It's that direction!"
Topaz raised her hand to point in a direction, and immediately afterwards, also disappeared from everyone's sight.
The The Knave, Navia, and the others exchanged glances and quickly picked up their pace, running toward the direction Topaz pointed.
A short while later, everyone found Luo Feng and... the awakened Phantylia in the laboratory where Ms. Herta, Dr. Ratio, Screwllum, and Ruan Mei were located.
[Keqing: Phantylia!!!]
[Ningguang: In the end, this woman was awakened by Ms. Herta and the others.]
[Doctor: This is normal. Even though being a Heliobus combined with the identity of an Emanator of Destruction makes Phantylia very special, with so many Geniuses researching, it shouldn't be impossible to wake her up.]
[Alhaitham: All that was needed was simply some time.]
[Dehya: However, for her to hold out this long before being awakened is quite impressive. I can't even imagine how many methods Ms. Herta and the others used on Phantylia during this time.]
[Beidou: I can imagine that next, Phantylia will probably be heavily targeted by Your Excellency Luo Feng. I wonder how Your Excellency Luo Feng will deal with her.]
[Lisa: Indeed, I am also very curious about this.]
...
"So Phantylia was called up. No wonder Luo Feng suddenly disappeared just now."
"That being said, she won't attack us, right, Luo Feng?"
Paimon flew behind Luo Feng and asked worriedly.
"That won't be necessary; the right to use her body is completely under my control now."
"If I tell her to go east, she wouldn't dare to go west."
Luo Feng shook his head and said.
"D... Damnable Luo Feng, I will not submit to you."
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Phantylia's face immediately showed a ferocious expression.
She even directly pounced towards Luo Feng.
"Get down!"
At Luo Feng's command, Phantylia's body uncontrollably prostrated herself before him.
"You... you scoundrel!"
Phantylia gritted her teeth and glared at Luo Feng; if looks could kill, Luo Feng would have been killed countless times by her.
"I advise you to keep a low profile, otherwise I can't guarantee what kind of orders I might give you."
"And don't even think about going back to sleep. Herta and the others took so long to wake you, they must have made it impossible for you to fall back into slumber."
Luo Feng said.
This was also one of the requests he made when he first handed Phantylia over to Herta, Ruan Mei, and the others.
Phantylia pursed her lips, feeling wronged.
How could she not know that what Luo Feng said was true?
If she could sleep, she would have done so already.
Thinking about how she might have to kneel before Luo Feng under his tyranny in the future, Phantylia almost burst into tears.
No, to be precise, she was already crying now.
"I can't believe I'm seeing Phantylia cry. It seems she really can't do evil anymore, which is great."
"Looking closely, she's really not as scary as she was on the Xianzhou Luofu."
Paimon said."That's not your imagination; after all, her power has been greatly reduced."
Herta said, her gaze profound as she looked out the window.
"Huh?"Paimon looked over strangely.
"Did something happen?"
Topaz looked at Dr. Ratio in confusion.
"Regarding this, I believe I should apologize to Luo Feng."
Dr. Ratio looked at Luo Feng with a serious expression.
"Apologize?"
Topaz was even more puzzled.
"Let me explain," Ruan Mei sighed, looking at Luo Feng with some regret:
"Apologies, Luo Feng, we did wake Phantylia and made it impossible for her to fall back into slumber."
"But we clearly underestimated the Heliobus in her identity as a Emanator of Destruction."
"The moment she woke up, she desperately separated a part of herself."
"We were unable to intercept it in time."
[Xingqiu: Huh?! What does that mean? Phantylia separated a part of herself?]
[Chongyun: She can actually do such a thing? But what's the use of doing that?]
[Dehya: Yeah, separating a part of yourself is just equivalent to reducing your own strength, isn't it?]
[La Signora: Could it be that Phantylia also has an ability similar to Dr. creating clones?]
[Dr.: I believe Phantylia's so-called separation is not the same as my technique of making slices.]
[Alice: It seems Heliobus still has many characteristics we don't know about, or is this a characteristic only possessed by Heliobus as a Emanator of Destruction?]
[Skirk: Separating a part, is it to allow herself to escape, or is it simply to send out a distress signal?If it's for escape, her current situation should be considered a failure.]
[Tartaglia: After all, her consciousness is still here, so it should be considered a failure.]
"As expected, my feeling wasn't wrong."
"A part of Heliobus's aura did leave the Astral Express earlier."
Luo Feng shook his head and directly sat on the back of Phantylia, who was lying on the ground.
Although she had shrunk her body now, her height still remained over two meters.
Therefore, carrying Luo Feng's body didn't feel too awkward.
Of course, Phantylia was very unhappy with Luo Feng's action.
"Luo Feng, how dare you humiliate me! Get off me!"
Phantylia roared.
"This counts as humiliation?"
"When you tried to trick a light cone out of me before."
"You completely disregarded your own shame and desperately tried to please me."
Luo Feng said with a smile."
Please? Tell me more?"
Lumie leaned her face closer, forcing Luo Feng to raise his hand to push her face away.
"Interesting. You two didn't do something intimate, did you?"
Herta was also somewhat interested.
"Why don't you ask if I've done anything naughty with this body of yours?"
Luo Feng glanced at Herta and said.
"Tsk, if you don't want to talk, then don't."
Herta snorted and looked away haughtily.
"Damn it, you're ignoring me!"
"Luo Feng, I, I... I beg you."
"Please get off my back."
"At least don't do this to me in front of so many people."
This time, Phantylia was genuinely crying.
She, a dignified Emanator of Destruction, was being sat on by Luo Feng, not to mention.
She was also being watched by so many people she had always looked down upon as mere bugs.
All of this made Phantylia feel utterly unbearable.Even in her darkest days, it had never been this bleak.
"So, when it's just the two of us, I can do this to you?"
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow and asked Phantylia.
"...Even if I say no, you can still just order me, right?"
Phantylia sighed deeply.
"Not bad, you have self-awareness."
"Alright, go stand aside."
"Remember not to think about doing things I don't like anymore."
Luo Feng jumped off Phantylia's back, and Phantylia let out a long sigh of relief, obediently walking to a corner of the Astral Express and standing as still as a statue.
Earlier, she had impulsively tried to attack Luo Feng, only to be directly ordered by him to lie down.
After that incident, she didn't dare to try again.
.........
Chapter 487: Target, Duke Inferno
[Yelan: Now, Phantylia is truly obedient.]
[Beidou: There's nothing she can do. She wasn't Luo Feng's opponent to begin with, and now she's even separated a part of herself to escape. The remaining part is naturally even less of a match for Luo Feng.]
[Mavuika: Not only that, she now has to obey Luo Feng's orders.]
[Ningguang: It's her own fault that it turned out this way.]
[Columbina: It seems Lady Ningguang has a very poor opinion of Phantylia. That's understandable, after all, Lady Ningguang fought Phantylia face-to-face before.]
[Mavuika: Even though so much time has passed, thinking about Ningguang's performance back then still amazes me.]
[Ningguang: It's just a pity that I damaged a precious Aventurine Stone belonging to Luo Feng at that time.]
"Everyone, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
Logically speaking, I have completely sealed off any possibility of her leaving using the body Phantylia is currently controlling.
How did she manage to separate a part of herself and leave the Astral Express?
When you tried to wake her up, did you perhaps perform some special operation on her?
Luo Feng turned his head and looked at Screwllum, Dr. Ratio, Ruan Mei, and Herta.
"Isn't that normal? Since we were trying to wake her up, we would definitely use some special methods."
Herta said as if it were obvious.
"Sorry, Luo Feng, we did indeed try to break the seal you placed on Phantylia."
"That's why she had the chance to separate a part of herself and escape."
Ruan Mei looked over with an apologetic expression.
"Hey, you didn't need to tell Luo Feng all that."
Herta's eyes widened as she looked at Ruan Mei.
"It's better to be honest and tell Luo Feng here."
Ruan Mei said.
"You... you're really becoming less and less like yourself."
Herta sighed, then suddenly looked up at Luo Feng.
"Alright, it was my idea."
"If you have any complaints, direct them at me."
Herta said.
"Alright, you said it."
Since Herta was so straightforward, Luo Feng naturally had to be a bit straightforward too.
He directly pulled Herta into his arms, his two hands continuously kneading her doll face.
Although she was a doll, Herta's body still possessed considerable softness.
This could be proven by how Herta's face kept deforming under Luo Feng's hands.
"Mmm, you... let go... of me."
Herta said loudly.
Even so, Luo Feng had no intention of letting her go.
Instead, he went a step further, found a chair to sit on, and held Herta on his lap, kneading her.
Such a scene was highly amusing even to Ruan Mei, Screwllum, Dr. Ratio, and Topaz.
" Luo Feng, are you angry because a part of Phantylia left?"
Dr. Ratio asked.
After speaking, he even specifically glanced at Herta, who was being kneaded by Luo Feng.
"Not really, that guy could resist in your hands for such a long time."
"This is enough to prove how troublesome her self-sealing is."
"Although she separated a part and escaped, she was finally woken up."
"This is good too; I can ask her about some things I want to know."
Luo Feng said, looking at Phantylia standing ramrod straight in the corner."
See, I told you Luo Feng wouldn't care about this."
"Your worries are completely unfounded."
Herta said.
"But you could have at least notified me beforehand."
Luo Feng clicked his tongue and kneaded Herta's face even harder.
"Mmm! I just... thought... you were about to... go to Penacony."
"So I planned... to use a... strong medicine."
Herta said.
"From what you're saying, are you planning to leave, Herta?"
Luo Feng released Herta's face and asked.
"I've been away from Herta Space Station for a while now."
"If I don't go back soon, Asta will be troubled."
Herta said."I don't think you're the type to care whether Asta is troubled or not."
"Never mind, you've already completed what I wanted you to do anyway."
"You're useless to me now, so you can leave if you want."
After Luo Feng finished speaking, he pushed Herta off his leg.
"You guy... Forget it, arguing with you about this and that will only make me angry."
"I obtained a lot of data from researching Phantylia this time, so I need to go back and integrate it."
After speaking, Herta suddenly became still.
"Has she left already?"
Ruan Mei looked at Herta, then at Lord Luo Feng:
" Luo Feng, if there's nothing else, I plan to leave for now as well."
"No problem."
Luo Feng nodded slightly,
"Anyway, you have my Trailblaze necklace. Just call me when you want to meet, and I'll summon you directly."
"There's such an item? As expected of the Emanator of Trailblaze! Luo Feng, do you have any more of those necklaces? Can you sell me one?"
Topaz leaned over curiously.
"You?" Luo Feng glanced at Topaz,
"Don't tell me you want to act as an intermediary between the Company and me?"
"Hehe, as expected, nothing can be hidden from Luo Feng."
Topaz didn't feel discouraged by being seen through, and said with a smile.
"If it's just you personally, I don't mind giving you an item that can be used for teleportation."
"But if you're representing the Company... I'm sorry, your Company is too deep."
"I currently don't have any intention of getting too close to your Company, or your Strategic Investment Department."
"So I can only say sorry to you for now."
Luo Feng shook his head and said.
The Stoneheart Ten of the Strategic Investment Department are all talented individuals, and Luo Feng occasionally gets templates of the Stoneheart Ten.
Luo Feng currently doesn't want to get too close to the Strategic Investment Department, lest they discover he used Diamond's authority.
"Is that so? That's truly a shame."
Topaz sighed, secretly thinking that it wasn't easy to get Luo Feng onto Diamond's large ship.
"Never mind, I'll find another opportunity later."
"Professor Ratio, I plan to leave. Do you want to come along?"
Topaz looked at Dr. Ratio and asked.
"Yes! I have obtained some good data and need to go back and organize it."
Dr. Ratio nodded and looked at Luo Feng:
" Luo Feng, thank you for your hospitality these past few days. If there is an opportunity in the future, please allow me to host you."
"Of course."
Luo Feng smiled and watched Dr. Ratio and Topaz leave, followed by Ruan Mei.
When it was Screwllum's turn, Luo Feng thought of the 79th seat of the Genius Society, Calderon Chadwick, who was forced to stay in Penacony but also had a certain connection with Screwllum.
"Screwllum, come to Penacony if you have time."
Luo Feng said to Screwllum's back.
"Hmm?" Screwllum turned around, a little puzzled, "Luo Feng, could you tell me the reason?"
"As for the reason... although I'm not entirely sure, I think there will be someone in Penacony whom you'd want to see again."
Luo Feng said."Is that so?"
Screwllum nodded after a moment of thought:
"I understand. Once I've handled the matters at hand, I will make a trip to Penacony."
"Alright then, we'll meet again then."
Luo Feng finished speaking and saw Screwllum and the others all the way to the Astral Express entrance.
"Alright, the matters here are settled. It's time to deal with your matters."
Luo Feng smiled and looked back at Phantylia, who had followed him to the reception room and was standing where the Ambrosial Arbor Bonsai had originally been placed,
which was also the Ambrosial Arbor Bonsai that Phantylia had occupied.
"You... what are you going to do?"
Phantylia swallowed, asking somewhat nervously.
"Just doing some experiments. Since you occupied my potted plant, you should be able to do the same things as my potted plant, right?"
"How about you grow a few fruits for me first?"
Lord Luo Feng smiled.
"Huh?" Phantylia was bewildered.Make her bloom and bear fruit? She hadn't had time to learn this skill yet.
Lord Luo Feng: "Having trouble?"
Phantylia: "I... I need time to practice."
"Alright, I'll let you off for now."
Luo Feng nodded, his expression suddenly becoming serious:
"Let's not mention fruits for now. First, tell me what the part of you that separated wants to do."
"I... I don't know."
Phantylia looked at Luo Feng with a troubled expression.
"Hmm?"
Luo Feng furrowed his brows.
At this moment, he had already used his authority to control Phantylia's body.
Logically, the Phantylia in front of him shouldn't be able to lie.
"I'm telling the truth, I really don't know what she planned to do after she left."
"She took away a lot of memories when she left."
Phantylia thought Luo Feng was angry and quickly spoke.
"Took away a lot of memories? Then do you still remember anything about Tingyun?"
Luo Feng asked, frowning.
"Tingyun? That fox girl I disguised myself as?"
"I'm sorry, I... I don't really know her situation either."Phantylia said.
"This is troublesome."
"I promised Yukong, after all."
Luo Feng propped his chin with one hand, his brows furrowed even tighter.
After all, he had only played the Star Rail game up to the Penacony chapter, and only had a rough idea of the story afterward.
Although he roughly knew that Tingyun was still alive, which he could also corroborate through Qingque's divination template,
That being said, he ultimately didn't know what situation Tingyun was in now, or where she was.
He had originally thought he could get some information from Phantylia, but it seemed he would have to disappoint Yukong now.
"Troublesome."
Luo Feng slapped his forehead with one hand, muttering.
This made Phantylia, who was nearby, even more nervous, afraid that Luo Feng would do something bad to her.
In fact, Luo Feng did want to vent some resentment on the Phantylia in front of him.
"Forget it, at least she's still alive."
"When the time is right, I'll eventually find her."
Luo Feng patted his cheek and turned to look at Lumine, Paimon, and the others.
"It's about time, everyone."
"Find a seat and sit down."
"Next, I'd like to ask you to come with me to meet Duke Inferno."
Lord Luo Feng said.
It was meeting Acheron in advance, or him snatching the Penacony entry ticket from Duke Inferno's hands first.
Either way, it was a situation Luo Feng was happy to see.
[Kaveh: Duke Inferno, can we finally meet that arrogant guy?]
[Dori: I think I can already see Duke Inferno being hung up and beaten by Luo Feng.]
[Dehya: There's nothing that can be done about it. Who told that guy to claim he would teach Luo Feng a lesson back at Herta Space Station?
Since that's the case, isn't it normal for Luo Feng to teach him a lesson back? You agree, right, Candace?]
[Candace: Yes! Considering what Duke Inferno did to the Astral Express, whatever treatment he receives afterward is not excessive.]
[Wriothesley: After all, Ms. Candace personally experienced the Duke Inferno incident at Herta Space Station before.
Speaking of which, if Herta wasn't in a hurry to leave, perhaps one more person would have been added to the group dealing with Duke Inferno.]
[Kaeya: That's true. However, even if Herta didn't go, Luo Feng alone could definitely deal with Duke Inferno.
Speaking of which, after that guy declared war on Luo Feng, I thought he would definitely find his way to Luo Feng's territory, Jarilo-VI.
It seems he got lost in the Universe. Or maybe, he simply couldn't spare the time?]
[Diluc: It's not impossible. After all, Luo Feng and the others said that Duke Inferno's Annihilation Gang also received an invitation to Penacony.
Of course, it's not ruled out that he learned of Luo Feng's power and was therefore too afraid to cause trouble for Lord Luo Feng again.]
[Mavuika: Looking at the situation, that Duke Inferno probably won't have a chance to go to Penacony.]
"...3.2.1 Launch!"
"The Astral Express is starting its journey to the destination!"
Under the gaze of the Tivat People audience, Luo Feng issued the Astral Express departure order.
In just an instant, the entire Astral Express was enveloped by aurora and quickly disappeared near the Xianzhou Luofu's Yuheng Gate.
This made Topaz and Dr. Ratio, who had just boarded the Interstellar Peace Corporation's spaceship, couldn't help but sigh at the incredible speed of the Astral Express.
"Indeed, seeing the Astral Express's warp jump again, I still envy their speed."
"Perhaps it should be said that it's worthy of being the Astral Express built by the trailblaze aeon."
Topaz stood by the window of the Company's spaceship, shaking her head as she spoke.
......
Chapter 488: Encountering the Huge True Sting, Argenti Appears
"Professor Ratio, do you think we might be able to master the Astral Express's warp jump method in the future?"
Topaz looked curiously at Dr. Ratio beside her.
"Unless the Company obtains the power of the trailblaze aeon, or Luo Feng is willing to provide the corresponding authority."
After Dr. Ratio finished speaking, he turned and left directly.
Topaz didn't mind this; she understood that Dr. Ratio had such a personality.
"Obtaining the power of the trailblaze aeon? Compared to that, it's probably more likely for Luo Feng to bestow the authority, isn't it?"
Topaz muttered.
On her shoulder, Numby also shrugged its mouth in agreement.
Just then, a phone rang on Topaz.
"Jade?"
Topaz glanced at the name displayed on her phone and answered the call with some surprise in her heart.
Topaz: "Hello, is something wrong, Jade?"
Jade: "I just habitually gave you a call. Since the call connected, does that mean you've returned from that legendary Teyvat?"
Topaz: "Yes, I just returned with Lord Luo Feng not long ago."
Jade: "How was it? Did you find anything in that world that Luo Feng cared about so much?"
Topaz: "Not really on that point. Although that world is somewhat special, it shouldn't be special enough to the extent that Luo Feng cares about it so much."
Jade: "I see. It seems the reason that world attracts Luo Feng is indeed because of the people in that world."
Topaz: "People?"
Jade smiled and said:
"Exactly! Since the world itself isn't particularly special, it can only be because certain people in that world attracted him."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically brought people from that world out to see the wonders of this Star Rail Universe, right?"
Hearing this, Topaz thought carefully about what she had seen and heard on the Teyvat Continent and had to admit that Emerald's reasoning had some merit.
Although the Teyvat Continent also had people like The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles who didn't like Luo Feng, Luo Feng did show an extremely friendly attitude towards some Tivat People.
Perhaps, as Jade said, Luo Feng displayed that attitude towards Teyvat because of certain people in Teyvat.
"Topaz, after accompanying Luo Feng for a few days, have you established any connections with him?"
Jade continued to ask
"It's regrettable, Luo Feng is somewhat cautious about the Company and the Strategic Investment Department.""
He did not accept my proposal."
Topaz's voice carried a slight hint of regret.
As she spoke, she informed Emerald about Luo Feng's comments on Aventurine and Jade.
"Haha, it seems that Luo Feng also has a certain understanding of me."
"However, I think he might still have some misunderstandings about me later on."
"Perhaps I should meet him in person and have a good chat."
"Perhaps one day I can also travel with Luo Feng to that world called Teyvat."
A soft chuckle came from Emerald's end of the call.
Topaz: "You also plan to go to Teyvat, Madam Jade?"
Jade: "Since Luo Feng cares about the people in that world, perhaps we can get closer to him through the people of that world."
Topaz: "Uh, you're not planning to open your pawnshop on the Teyvat Continent, are you?"
Jade: "Why not?"Topaz gave a dry chuckle and said:
"Although I'm not entirely sure, I think Luo Feng probably won't allow your pawnshop to open on the Teyvat Continent."
Although Topaz greatly respected Jade, she had to admit one thing.
That was, the results for many people who traded with Jade were not very good.
Since Luo Feng cared about the people on Teyvat, it was naturally unlikely that he would let Jade open a pawnshop on the Teyvat Continent.
"Nothing is absolute. Some things are always worth trying."
"Alright, I won't bother you for now. Remember to put in a good word for me the next time you see Luo Feng."
"Just say that if there's a chance, I'd like to talk to him in person."
"Oh, by the way, if possible, try to book some rooms for Luo Feng and his passengers in Penacony with Aventurine."
Jade said.
"Book rooms? Do Luo Feng and the others really need us to book rooms for them?"
Topaz frowned slightly.
Given Penacony's attitude towards the Interstellar Peace Corporation, Topaz even felt that Penacony wouldn't allow too many Company personnel to have the qualification to enter the Penacony Dreamscape.
"Better safe than sorry, perhaps they need it."
"Perhaps, we can secure better rooms for them in advance."
"You know, the premium rooms in Penacony are very popular right now."Emerald said.
Topaz: "This is also a form of investment, right."
Jade: "Indeed."
Topaz: "Alright, since Madam Emerald you've mentioned it, I can only follow through."
Jade: "Hehe, I hope your actions with Aventurine go smoothly. We'll meet again in Penacony then."
Topaz listened to the dial tone from the phone and stretched out comfortably.
"Well then, let's get to work."
Topaz whispered and stepped towards the ship's cockpit.
......
After a while.
Astral Express.
"Wow! Is this what the Astral Express looks like during warp?"
Navia looked out the window and couldn't help but murmur.
"It is indeed quite a sight to behold."
The Knave agreed.
The Astral Express emitted a pure white light, reflecting the twinkling stars.
Just looking at that scene from afar was captivating.
"Amazing, why couldn't we see scenery like this before?"
Paimon took photos frantically using the forum function while looking at Luo Feng, who was sitting between Furina and Traveler, in confusion.
"To be precise, the Astral Express is already out of warp mode now."
"This is currently the Astral Express's high-speed operation state."
Luo Feng said with a smile.
Previously, he would go directly to the tourist locations set by the System through the System's authority.
But this time, he was going to a place outside the tourist locations.
Luo Feng naturally needed to use more conventional methods to drive the Astral Express.
First, use warp for longer distance jumps.
When they got closer to the destination, they could switch to high-speed operation mode.
Although this method was slower, it was more energy-efficient.
Of course, Luo Feng didn't really need to consider the Astral Express's energy efficiency.
His Astral Express was somewhat different from Himeko's Astral Express.
Himeko's Astral Express needed to constantly Trailblaze to ensure sufficient fuel.
But his Astral Express, one could say, as long as he was alive, his Astral Express would always remain in a state of sufficient fuel and would not stop operating.
The reason he slowed down the Astral Express at this time was mainly because the warp method caused too much commotion.
This might allow Duke Inferno to sense the situation in advance.
If Duke Inferno ran away at this time, that would not be the situation Luo Feng wanted to see.
However, Luo Feng did not intend to inform the Tivat People passengers of these reasons.
"Enjoy it well, after all, such beautiful scenery isn't that easy to see, is it?"
"Also, you don't need to keep sitting stiffly in your seats."
"You need to sit properly during warp."
"But at this time, it's quite stable during the journey."
"There's still a bit of distance before we reach the coordinates Topaz gave me."
"You can move around relatively freely for a while."
Luo Feng said to everyone.Hearing this, the Tivat People passengers all got up and went to the various windows.
Even someone as cold-natured as The Knave was the same.
After all, what Luo Feng said was true; such scenery was definitely a rare sight for them.
It was difficult for Tivat People to even leave their Planet, so this kind of scenery, traveling between various Planets, was definitely a moment worth commemorating.
As the head of the House of the Hearth, The Knave also wanted to take some photos of the beautiful starry sky for the children back home.
[Charlotte: Little Paimon, can you move the camera up a bit?]
[Dinazad: Please, Paimon, if the camera goes up a bit, we can get better pictures.]
[Kaveh: That's true, but no matter how beautiful the pictures we take are, they can't compare to the photos taken by the passengers on the Astral Express, right?]
[Faruzan: Hmph, Collei just sent me a photo she took, it's really very beautiful!]
[Kaveh: What?! That... can you share it with me? This might help me with my research on the starry sky.]
[Faruzan: I remember you don't research the starry sky, do you? If you want it, go ask Collei.]
[Mona: Paimon, Traveler, can you give me a photo of the view outside the window during warp?]
[Barbeloth: Cough cough, and me.]
[Mona: Don't fight with me, Master.]
[Barbeloth: What are you saying? If you can ask for it, can't I? Don't talk about that, you're closer to Paimon, help me talk to Paimon.]
[Mona:...Okay, I'll listen to you.]
......
"You're not joining in?"
Luo Feng looked strangely at Raiden Ei, who was the only one who hadn't gotten up, seemingly lost in thought.
"I..."
Raiden Ei opened her mouth but ultimately couldn't say anything.
Seeing Raiden Ei's conflicted expression, Luo Feng could roughly guess what she was thinking.
After Raiden Ei and the Raiden Shogun appeared on screen at the same time via the Teyvat Forum, the people of Inazuma had been constantly discussing it.
Luo Feng was certain that Raiden Ei had also seen some Inazumans' comments identifying her as the Raiden Shogun's shadow .
Coupled with other speculations based on her and the Raiden Shogun, Raiden Ei's heart naturally couldn't settle down.
"Since you've decided to come out and travel, don't overthink things."
"Otherwise, this trip won't yield anything."
"I think you came out with me because you wanted to gain something, right?"
"Don't waste this opportunity you were chosen for. It's not easy to get another chance to come out once you've missed this one."
"Not all passengers are as lucky as Lumine and Paimon to get a second chance."
Luo Feng said.
"I... I understand."
Raiden Ei pursed her lips and said in a low voice.
Seeing this, Luo Feng didn't plan to say anything more to Raiden Ei.
He had given her the opportunity, and he had said what needed to be said.
The rest was up to Raiden Ei to figure out on her own.
Anyway, this time 10 people had obtained passenger status, and he only needed 5 of them to obtain a Path to get the special grand prize.
Although he would get more lottery chances if all 10 people obtained a Path.
But compared to that special grand prize, Luo Feng didn't mind if the lottery chances were halved.
Therefore, he only needed to ensure that 5 people could walk a Path.
As for the rest, that would depend on his mood.
Luo Feng withdrew his gaze from Raiden Ei and looked out the window again.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly got up and went to the The Knave, who was standing alone by a window.
"What's wrong, Luo Feng?"
Lumine, who had been paying attention to Luo Feng, was the first to notice his abnormality.
She quickly ran over and asked
.Hearing Lumine's voice, the The Knave turned her head and cast a questioning look at Luo Feng, and the other passengers also looked over curiously.
"I saw a ship soaring on the star rail, and besides that, there's an interesting fellow."
Luo Feng said, resting a hand on his chin.
To be precise, it was a bug large enough to easily swallow the Astral Express.
At this moment, it was lying across the star rail where it needed to turn, its massive mouth wide open,
as if waiting for the Astral Express and the magnificent spaceship traveling in the same direction as the Astral Express to enter its mouth.
With this sense of déjà vu, could the person in that spaceship be the Knights of Beauty Argenti?
Luo Feng thought to himself.
But the timing doesn't match up.
Shouldn't Argenti have met Himeko and the others?
Could it be that the one over there isn't Argenti?
Or did my appearance cause a butterfly effect?
Luo Feng rested a hand on his chin, thinking while staring at the gigantic True Sting in the distance.
He clearly remembered that Argenti's first appearance in the game's story was when Himeko, Stelle, and the others were on their way to the planet where they wash cars.
Specifically, Himeko's Astral Express and Argenti's spaceship, the "invaluable", were both swallowed into the belly of a gigantic True Sting.
.........
Chapter 489 I Admit the Beauty Goddess's beauty is unparalleled, so let's skip the fight
[Mualani: Spaceship? Interesting fellow? What does Luo Feng mean by this?]
[Mavuika: A spaceship probably means what it says on the tin; there's a spaceship traveling alongside the Astral Express outside.As for the interesting fellow, only Luo Feng himself knows about that.]
[Cloud Retainer: To think that a spaceship capable of traveling alongside the Astral Express would be encountered at this time, this is truly a first~ time seeing this.]
[Lisa: We rarely see Luo Feng have the Astral Express travel at such a speed.This is probably why we haven't seen any other spaceships traveling alongside the Astral Express.]
[Kinich: After all, Luo Feng usually has the Astral Express teleport between two locations most of the time.]
[Wriothesley: Although Luo Feng has also flown the Astral Express at a relatively slower speed on the Teyvat Continent,it's a pity that in our world, there is nothing that can travel side-by-side with the Astral Express.]
"A spaceship? Where? I don't see it?"
Paimon practically pressed her eyes against the window.But all she saw in her field of vision was a vast expanse of white light, with no sign of any spaceship.
"Although the Astral Express is not in Warp mode, it is still operating at high speed."
"Even if that spaceship's speed can currently keep pace with the Astral Express's speed."
"But with your eyesight, it would probably be difficult to see."
Luo Feng said.
"What? I thought I could see a scene of a spaceship traveling side-by-side with the Astral Express."
Paimon sighed, looking disappointed.
"Instead of sighing, I think you should find a seat and sit down."
Luo Feng said."Sit down? Why?"
Paimon looked at Luo Feng in confusion.
Luo Feng: "Because there will be a violent tremor next."
"Violent tremor?"
Just as Paimon was wondering, the Astral Express was indeed enveloped by a huge tremor.
Even though Paimon was flying, she was forced to sway with the Astral Express.
If Paimon was like this, it was even harder for everyone else to stand steady, and they all fell onto the Astral Express floor.
Except for Raiden Ei, who was already sitting in her seat and hadn't moved much, and the The Knave, who happened to fall backward into Luo Feng's arms.
[Arataki Itto: What happened? Why was the camera shaking so much just now? Paimon, were you filming properly?]
[Kuki Shinobu: Boss, that's not Paimon's fault. The Astral Express seemed to have a very strong tremor just now, and even the lights flickered for a moment.]
[Wriothesley: This looks like the Astral Express crashed into something, but with the power of the Astral Express, what could it have collided with?]
[Andrius: I think Dvalin has a lot to say about this.]
[Dvalin: Are you done yet? You might as well say The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles... *cough* *cough*, I didn't say anything.]
[Prince: If you don't say it, I will. That The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was also violently knocked flying by Luo Feng's Astral Express.I
f there is something that can collide with Luo Feng's Astral Express and cause such a tremor to the Astral Express, it can only mean that the object it collided with is quite remarkable.]
[Mavuika: *cough* *cough*, let's skip the topic of The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles. Luo Feng's Astral Express is in a state of high-speed operation.
Even if Luo Feng is not driving the Astral Express at full power, to be able to collide with the Astral Express, which is in a state of high-speed operation, to this extent, it must be that the other party's hardness is quite terrifying.]
[Mualani: Could it be the spaceship that Luo Feng mentioned earlier?]
[Marionette: Perhaps, but rather than that, I'd like to ask about the The Knave's current feelings.]
[Columbina: To fall backward into Lord Luo Feng's arms, is it a coincidence, or intentional? Hehe, no matter which one it is, it's a magnificent sight.]
[Columbina: Mhmm, the more I look, the more they look like lovers. It seems the probability of the The Knave changing into that gown with black stockings is getting higher and higher.
Perhaps the children of the House of the Hearth should change their address for the The Knave to mother.]
[Lyney:...]
[Lynette:...]
[Freminet:...]
[La Signora: You are too much of a lovesick girl, Girl.]
[Columbina: What's wrong with that? Speaking of which, if The Knave really gets together with Luo Feng,shouldn't you address The Knave as Mistress? After all, you already consider Luo Feng your future master, right?]
[La Signora:...]......
"Are you alright?"
Luo Feng slightly lowered his head and asked The Knave, whose shoulder he was supporting.
"I'm fine."
"Thank you, Luo Feng."
The Knave said.
Luo Feng nodded slightly and released The Knave, who quickly took two steps forward, moving away from Luo Feng's chest.
Originally, this was nothing, but upon seeing the messages from Girl and others on the forum, her face gradually darkened.
In the past, when La Signora went to Herta Space Station with Luo Feng, Girl often teased La Signora with similar words.
At that time, The Knave didn't think much of it.
But now that similar things were happening to her, The Knave found it difficult to accept for a moment.
Luo Feng looked at The Knave's expression and smiled with interest.Then, he turned to look at Navia, Clorinde, Sigewinne, and the others who were slowly getting up from the ground, and then at Raiden Ei, who was still lying on the sofa from the impact."Everyone, are you alright?"
"Are you still alive?"
Luo Feng asked.
"Of course we're still alive!"
"Don't say such scary things, hey!"
Paimon excitedly waved her hand at Luo Feng.
However, perhaps because the previous fear of shaking had not passed, Paimon did not dare to fly too high.
She was afraid of the situation where she had to fall to the ground after colliding with everyone again.
"Everyone, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell me."
"I will find a way to help you with treatment."
Sigewinne finished speaking and looked at Paimon, who was closest to her, with concern and took out her syringe.Seeing the syringe in Sigewinne's hand, which was almost the same size as herself, Paimon repeatedly waved her hands:
"No need, no need, I'm perfectly fine."
To prove herself, Paimon decisively flew up."That's good."
Sigewinne smiled sincerely and then looked at Navia, Clorinde, and the others.
"I'm fine. The various Blessings Luo Feng bestowed upon us earlier ensured that we would not be easily injured."
Clorinde said."That's good."
Sigewinne nodded."Speaking of which, what exactly happened just now?"
"Why did the Astral Express experience such a strong vibration?"
Navia asked with a strange look on her face.
"Yeah! And why did the starry sky outside suddenly turn completely red?"
"It feels a bit disgusting to look at."
Furina said while moving closer to Luo Feng.At this moment, only Luo Feng could give her a sense of security.
However, Luo Feng stepped towards the direction of the reception car door at this time, which made Furina feel a little strange.
And when she saw Luo Feng open the door and bring in a knight with red hair and silver armor, and a man dressed as a staff member, Furina became even more confused.
Furina: "Someone can actually board the Astral Express here?"
The Knave: "It seems Luo Feng was telling the truth; there was indeed a spaceship on the Astral Express's navigation route."
Navia: "So these two are the people from the spaceship that Luo Feng mentioned?"
Navia and The Knave were naturally quite curious about the two people who suddenly appeared.
However, seeing Luo Feng talking to the two, everyone was sensible enough not to step forward and disturb them.
......
"I am truly sorry that I was unable to stop the invaluable in time, causing it to rear-end your Astral Express."
"Here, please allow me to offer my sincere apologies."
The red-haired knight, Argenti, bowed to Luo Feng in apology with a knight's Thank you.
"Uh... in any case, I'll still say sorry."
Beside Argenti, the Interstellar Peace Corporation staff member named Welt said.
"There's no need for that. It can be considered a kind of fate that we met because of such an accident."
Luo Feng smiled and waved his hand, looking at Argenti as if looking at an old friend.
"Your tolerance is truly beautiful."
"Forgive my directness, but have we met before?"
"Your eyes make me feel as if you are somewhat familiar with me."
Argenti asked.
"It's not strange that I would know the famous Argenti of the Chunmei Knight Order."
"After all, you frequently help out in various parts of the Star Rail Universe and actively leave your name, don't you?"
Luo Feng chuckled.
"I see."
Argenti nodded, then let out a long sigh:
"Gexia knows my name, but I do not know Gexia's name. Please allow me to apologize to you again."
"If possible, please allow me to issue a knight's challenge to you."
"If I win, please tell me your identity and admit that the Pure Beauty Goddess Idrila's beauty is unparalleled in the world."
Welt, who was standing nearby, immediately showed an expression of 'as expected' upon hearing this.
Once upon a time, he was also asked by Argenti to declare that the Pure Beauty Goddess Idrila's beauty was unparalleled in the world.
Otherwise, Argenti would not rescue him.
This greatly troubled Welt at that time.
However, Luo Feng, who heard these expected words, smiled very happily.
Of course, he had no intention of fighting with Argenti.
"My name is Luo Feng, and I am the Navigator of this Astral Express."
"Also, I admit that the Pure Beauty Goddess Idrila's beauty is unparalleled in the world."
"So I think we don't need to fight, right?"
Luo Feng said."This... indeed seems unnecessary to fight."
"I can feel the sincerity in your words."
Argenti nodded.
"Huh! You can do that?!"
Welt looked over in surprise.
"However, you are actually the Navigator of this Astral Express?"
"I clearly heard that the Navigator of the Astral Express was supposed to be a beautiful lady named Himeko."
Argenti said curiously.
"Your information is a bit outdated."
"Himeko is indeed the Navigator of a Astral Express."
"However, this Astral Express of mine is not the same as her Astral Express."
Luo Feng said.
"So that's how it is, there's more than one Astral Express traveling under the stars."
"This is truly something worth celebrating."
Argenti placed his hand on his chest and spoke with utmost sincerity.
In his impression, the Trailblazer who followed the trailblaze aeon and the Knights of Beauty who followed the Beauty Aeon had many similarities.
Although their goals were different, both were groups of people willing to help others.
In Argenti's eyes, the Trailblazer were almost equivalent to comrades.
"Since you are the Navigator of this Astral Express."
"Then those people over there must also be Trailblazer, right?"
"May I invite you all to help solve the current problem?"
"You may not know, but we might currently be in..."
Before Argenti could finish, Luo Feng waved his hand, interrupting him.
"Firstly, not everyone over there is a Trailblazer."
"Excluding my librarian and maid, the rest are passengers."
"Oh, right! Although I know Pure Beauty Goddess Idrila's beauty is unparalleled, they don't even know much about the Beauty Aeon."
"So it's even more impossible for them to think Pure Beauty Goddess Idrila's beauty is unparalleled."
"Why don't you try telling them about the Beauty Aeon and the Chunmei Knight Order?"
"If you can also lead them to resolve this incident, I imagine they will gain a more intuitive understanding of 'Beauty'."
After Luo Feng finished speaking, he looked back at Lumine, Navia, The Knave, and others who were watching from a distance.
Although they had not yet arrived at Penacony.
The system had already activated a Blessing buff for Luo Feng, which would reduce the passengers' chances of obtaining a Path.
Given this, even if the passengers of the Astral Express had not yet arrived at the grand stage of Penacony.
Luo Feng believed that the passengers should have many opportunities to embrace a Path on this grand stage.
However, this time there were 10 passengers, a relatively large number.
So Luo Feng didn't mind giving the passengers some trials now,to see if anyone could obtain a Path before arriving at Penacony.
The passengers, who were walking towards Luo Feng and Argenti due to Luo Feng's gaze, did not yet know they had been sold by Luo Feng
...
Chapter 490: Knights of Beauty Argenti Appears to Popularize the Beauty Aeon
[Kachina: Luo Feng and that red-haired person are chatting happily. Could he be the very interesting person Luo Feng mentioned?]
[Chaska: Aside from the red-haired man, the other man is clearly dressed as an Interstellar Peace Corporation employee. He shouldn't be the interesting person Luo Feng mentioned.]
[Kaeya: The red-haired man's attire looks quite Mondstadt-style.]
[Mavuika: Just like a knight. The universe is so vast, there should be knights there too, right?]
[Jean: Knights in the universe, huh.]
[Klee: The red-haired big brother seems very polite, just like Noelle.]
[Noelle: Th-thank you for the compliment, Klee.]
[Arataki Itto: Am I the only one curious about what Luo Feng is chatting about with that red-haired man? Paimon, not stepping forward now doesn't make you an excellent record-keeper!]
[Charlotte: Mm-hmm! Paimon, go closer!]
"So that's it, they don't know about 'Beauty' then."
Argenti glanced at Navia, The Knave, Paimon, and others who were walking towards them, and smiled, saluting Luo Feng.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to spread 'Beauty' to more people."
Argenti was naturally happy to accept the chance to spread Beauty to more people.
Seeing this, Luo Feng smiled slightly and consciously stepped back a few paces, walking towards Raiden Ei, who was still sitting on the sofa.
Since he had decided to see if the passengers could obtain a Path through the upcoming trials, or even the Path of Beauty,
Luo Feng naturally intended to let Argenti guide Navia and the others, to see if they had the qualities to become a Knights of Beauty.
Or, perhaps someone could even become another group of 'Beauty' followers — the Extraterrestrial Observers.
However, no one should be extreme enough to become an Extraterrestrial Observer, right?
Luo Feng thought to himself.
The Chunmei Knight Order was already extreme enough; the Extraterrestrial Observers were even more extreme than the Chunmei Knight Order.
But if there truly was a Teyvatian with the potential to become an Extraterrestrial Observer, Luo Feng would really want to see it.
"Luo Feng, we're talking..."
Navia saw Luo Feng pass by her and walk towards Raiden Ei, and was about to ask about Argenti.
At this moment, a light suddenly fell, enveloping Argenti.
This made Argenti, dressed in silver armor, appear even more dazzling, and at the same time, it redirected Navia and the others' attention back to Argenti.
"Light? Where is this light coming from?"
Furina looked up at Argenti strangely.
However, there was no actual light source above.
The light enveloping Argenti seemed to appear out of thin air.
"Shining universe, another abnormal state, blooming like paint."
"You are truly beautiful."
Argenti turned sideways and extended his hand towards the potted plant in front of him.
"Uh, what are you doing?"
Navia looked at the potted plant with some surprise.
Navia was certain that it was not a potted plant cultivated by Luo Feng with the Blessing of Aeon of Abundance.
Ultimately, it was just a well-maintained but very ordinary potted plant.
Just as Navia was feeling strange,another light fell from nowhere, enveloping Navia.
"Huh! Wh-what's happening again?"
While Navia was still wondering, Argenti had already turned to look at Navia, who was enveloped in light.
"Beautiful lady, please allow me to sincerely praise you."
"Your beauty is like a golden rose under the brilliant sun."
Argenti stepped forward to Navia and bowed slightly.
[Melus: By conventional standards, Navia is indeed beautiful.]
[Silver: Exactly! Navia is indeed like a golden rose under the brilliant sun. This red-haired knight has excellent taste!]
[Chiori: Navia is naturally beautiful. I can design wonderful clothes with her as a model.]
[Chiori: But more than that, I'm now more curious about what's going on with the lights that suddenly appeared on the red-haired knight and Navia?]
[Charlotte: Could it be that Luo Feng is providing lighting for the red-haired knight?]
[Kaeya: While it's not impossible, I don't think Luo Feng would need to go out of his way to do these things.]
[Mavuika: This seems more like a manifestation of that red-haired knight's power,just like the red rose petals that appeared with the light?]
[Eula: What kind of knight is like this? Isn't this a bit too narcissistic?]
[Kaeya: Compared to Acting Grand Master Jean, the red-haired knight is indeed somewhat special.]
[Jean: Don't mention me now, Kaeya.]
Astral Express.
"Um... anyway, thank you for now."
Faced with Argenti's sudden praise and knightly bow, Navia temporarily returned a lady's curtsy.
Although she herself was caught off guard by the suddenly appearing lights and falling rose petals.
"So, are you Luo Feng's friend?"
Beside Navia, The Knave asked curiously.
"Hmm? Looking closely, this is another beautiful being."
"These special eyes, as if they possess a different kind of charm."
Argenti looked at The Knave, his words also full of sincerity.
[Freminet:...]
[Lynette:...]
[Lyney: This one... really likes to praise people.]
[Tartaglia: I don't know if it's my imagination, but I always feel like this guy is the type to praise everyone he meets.]
[La Signora: To actually praise The Knave's eyes, I now somewhat understand why he praised the potted plant just now.]
"Thank you! But don't keep looking at my eyes like that."
"I can't guarantee my eyes won't burn... forget it."
The Knave shook her head.
Although she didn't know much about Argenti, he was someone who could converse with Luo Feng after all.
Perhaps her eyes really couldn't burn Argenti.
"Looking closely, you are all extremely beautiful beings."
"Please allow me to pay my respects to all of you."
Argenti looked at the other Teyvat Passengers and said.
"You really are... fond of praising others."
"How should I address you?"
Navia asked.
"My name is Argenti, from the Knights of Beauty."
"May I know your names?"
Argenti smiled.
Hearing this, Navia, Lumine, and the others glanced at Luo Feng not far away.
Seeing Luo Feng nod to them, everyone then reported their names to Argenti.
[La Signora: Beauty Knight? It sounds a bit familiar.]
[Lisa: Beauty Knight, Beauty! Could this person be someone who believes in the chunmei Aeon?]
[Arataki Itto: chunmei Aeon? Is there such a Aeon?]
[Lisa: Luo Feng hasn't mentioned much about the chunmei Aeon, but it's certain that he has described the chunmei Aeon.]
[Kaeya: Speaking of which, Luo Feng probably gave you more information, could you tell us a little, Lisa?]
[Lisa: If that Argenti truly believes in the chunmei Aeon, he can definitely explain it better than I can.]
.....
"I see, just like your appearances, your names are also equally beautiful and moving."
"Forgive my abruptness, out of habit, I would like to ask you all the same question."
"Do you know the goddess of Beauty, idrila?"
Argenti smiled and asked the passengers before him.
Although Luo Feng had said earlier that Navia and the others didn't know much about "Beauty",
Argenti wanted to be more certain about the extent to which Navia and the others didn't understand "Beauty".
"That's quite a sudden question, let me think about it carefully."
Navia supported her chin with one hand, quickly thought for a moment, and then said:
"I remember Luo Feng once said that the chunmei Aeon's philosophy is that 'beauty' is the ultimate meaning of the world's existence."
Upon hearing Navia's answer, Argenti couldn't help but feel happy and quickly pressed on, "Anything else?"
"No, that's all."
Navia smiled awkwardly, glancing at Luo Feng who was sitting on the sofa, propping his chin and watching with interest.
Luo Feng had provided little information about the beauty Aeon, so facing Argenti's somewhat eager questioning, she naturally couldn't answer.
"Is that so."
Argenti sighed slightly, but quickly perked up again.
"It's alright, since you don't know the meaning of 'Beauty', allow me to explain it to you."
Argenti said.
"Why are you suddenly starting to introduce 'Beauty'?"
Paimon complained.
Although she said that, she was also very curious about the beauty Aeon idrila, whom she didn't know much about.
Therefore, when she saw Argenti starting to seriously and attentively introduce the beauty Aeon idrila in his heart to everyone present, Paimon obediently pricked up her ears.
Like Paimon, Navia, The Knave, Sigewinne, Collei, Lumine, and the others standing in front of Argenti were also doing the same.
Even Furina, who had originally planned to follow Luo Feng and sit next to Raiden Ei, temporarily stopped and listened carefully to Argenti's narration.
Undoubtedly, everyone was listening very attentively at first.
But as time passed, Argenti's explanation became more focused, and his expression became increasingly yearning, like that of a fanatic.
This attitude left everyone present unsure of what to say.
That being said, in such a situation, it was also difficult for everyone to interrupt Argenti.
In the end, they just let Argenti continue his narrative for over ten minutes.
Although in the eyes of The Knave, Furina, and others, most of these words were Argenti's personal admiration for idrila.
"...I have briefly explained the chunmei Aeon idrila to you."
"Do you agree with this philosophy and believe in idrila?"
Argenti asked Navia, The Knave, Furina, and the others.
"Wait, was that just a simple explanation?"
Furina exclaimed.
She could tell that Argenti was like a fervent believer of the chunmei Aeon.
Furina had met countless people like Argenti who had intense admiration for a certain god over 500 years, so she could naturally see some patterns.
"In fact, I did indeed only briefly explain a little about 'Beauty'."
"Regarding the Pure Beauty Goddess Idrila, I have more words of praise."
"If you have time, I can continue..."
Argenti said sincerely.
"No, that's alright."
"You've been talking for a long time."
"Thank you very much for the information on the beauty Aeon idrila."
Furina quickly interrupted Argenti, she didn't want to keep listening to Argenti praising the Beauty Goddess.
Such words of praise couldn't help them understand the specific characteristics of the chunmei Aeon further.
"You're welcome, it's what I, as a Knights of Beauty, should do."
Argenti smiled and replied to Furina.
"I didn't say thank you... never mind."
Furina sighed and said.
"Knights of Beauty? What is that?"Navia asked curiously.
"The so-called Knights of Beauty is an organization dedicated to spreading the good name of 'Beauty' throughout the Star Rail Universe 1.4, letting all beings know of Her existence."
"We strictly hold ourselves to the tenets of our faith, tempering our bodies and defending our honor."
Argenti placed his hand on his chest and said.
"To be precise, it should be a group composed of the most classical beauty-loving and exceptionally skilled followers among the countless admirers of idrila."
"You can compare it to the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt... no, you should say you can compare it to Acting Grand Master Jean of the Knights of Favonius and Noelle who is striving to become a knight."
"However, Jean believes in the Wind God, while the Knights of Beauty believes in the chunmei Aeon idrila."
Luo Feng took the coffee handed to him by Cocolia and added to Navia.
[Lisa: I see, now that Luo Feng has explained it like this, I can fully understand what kind of organization the Knights of Beauty is.]
[Mavuika: So this person is indeed a knight.]
[Kaeya: Luo Feng actually singled out Jean and Noelle, it seems Luo Feng thinks highly of them.]
[Jean: It is my honor to receive Luo Feng's recognition.]
[Noelle: I... I am too!]
[La Signora: I can see it now, the Knights of Beauty are a bunch of fanatics, and maybe we should add the setting of being old good guys!]
[Diluc: After all, Jean and Noelle are too fond of helping others. Fortunately, they now at least understand that some requests from Mondstadt citizens are not necessary to provide assistance to.]
[La Signora: This alone is all thanks to Luo Feng.]
[Jean:...]
