Crossing the Star Railway: The Beginning of the Starry Sky Twins

"What year is tonight?"

Early in the morning, Xing stood by the bed, looking at the sky outside, and couldn't help chanting a line.

"I don't know. We haven't played much lately. Who can remember the time? I just feel like we've been here for several months."

On the bed next to him, Qiong had just woken up, yawned, scratched his messy hair and responded.

It has been a long time since the last war with the Fengrao people, and the fighting has only slowed down in recent days. This war has temporarily come to an end with the Fengrao people's defeat.

As for the real fierce battle, Xing and Qiong have not yet encountered it at their current level.

"Now that you're up, go wash up quickly. I bought breakfast and it's best to eat it while it's hot."

Tingyun walked in and happened to see the two of them getting up and said with a smile.

Then he twisted his butt, flicked his big furry tail and closed the door.

Then Tingyun placed the brocade box on the table and spread it out layer by layer.

"Wow! Such a great day today!"

When Qiong saw the trays of delicious food on the table, her eyes lit up.

"Now that the war is over, restaurants and hotels are reopening."

As Tingyun spoke, he looked at Qiong who was still staring blankly at the food and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, go wash up quickly. Stop staring there like an idiot. Didn't you see that our benefactor has already run away?"

Qiong then turned his head to look at Xing who was standing at the window just now, but he had already disappeared.

After the two of them finished washing up, Tingyun prepared the tableware for them.

"Come, my benefactor, try the Crystal Jade Shrimp Dumplings from Zhenxiulou. I specially went to several restaurants and bought their signature dishes."

Ting Yuntie sat next to Xing, picked up a crystal clear shrimp dumpling with a red interior, held it in one hand and raised it to Xing's mouth.

Xing didn't hesitate to take a bite. It was fresh and juicy, with a soft and chewy outer skin and a chewy inner filling.

"It's really delicious. I think you would buy it if it was Tingyun..."

Xing nodded in praise as he chewed.

Although Tingyun looked calm when he heard this, his well-maintained tail couldn't help but shake behind him.

"What about me?"

Qiong, who was standing by, couldn't help but pout when she saw the two of them flirting with each other.

"Of course I won't forget you."

Tingyun chuckled, picked up a shrimp dumpling and stuffed it into Qiong's mouth.

But his actions were naturally not as gentle and considerate as those towards Xing, which shows the difference in treatment between them.

But Qiong didn't care anymore. He had already gotten used to Tingyun's "little tricks" during the past few months they had been together.

"It's really delicious. I wish I could eat it every day. I never want to eat the communal meals in the military camp again."

Qiong covered her cheeks, reveling in the delicious food, while not forgetting to complain about the army's communal meals.

Although it’s not unpalatable, it’s not very delicious either.

"Given your current military pay, it's probably not realistic to eat it every day."

"Ah? Is it that expensive?"

Xing was stunned. After all these days, he was no longer an ordinary Cloud Cavalry recruit, but was directly promoted to the level of a Thousand Cavalry leader. Yet, he couldn't even have breakfast.

"This gift from you, benefactor, is worth half a day's salary for an ordinary Cloud Cavalry."

Tingyun couldn't help but smile as he stared at Xing's stunned expression.

“Oh, that’s expensive.”

Qiong was surprised and stuffed a whole shrimp dumpling into her mouth.

"Don't worry, I've been running a small business lately. I won't have to rely solely on your military pay to survive."

"Life is too hard for a Cloud Rider like us."

Qiong couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard Tingyun's words.

Although Qiong also had the opportunity to be promoted, Qiong did not want to be separated from Xing, so when reporting military merits, he only counted them towards Xing.

"Not really. Prices skyrocket during wartime. In peacetime, Cloud Cavalry is a good job... Besides, the higher-ups provide a lot of benefits like food, oil, rice, and flour."

Tingyun smiled.

"That's true."

Qiong nodded, but these benefits were basically managed by Tingyun.

On weekdays, when the two of them returned home after completing their mission, Tingyun would have already prepared meals for them to eat.

Xingdu felt that Tingyun had turned into a full-time nanny, but this feeling was also pretty good.

After some time, the war was completely over and Luofu reopened trade with the outside world.

Although peace is a good thing, Xing feels a bit regretful.

Because Taixu Sword God himself has never fully comprehended the last move of Taixu Sword Qi.

Later, I encountered several enemies of the same level as Dian Bai or even stronger, but when I tried to activate it myself, the effect was not very good.

It was as if Su Chang's Taixu form was supposed to transform into a phoenix, but it turned out to be a fat chicken.

"Reporting to the team leader, while you were away, someone delivered a transfer order from above. Please review it."

Just as Xing arrived at the camp, a cloud rider suddenly came to report.

"Okay, bring it here."

Xing nodded, and was used to the sudden transfer order.

After all, Yunqi is just a brick, and it can be moved wherever there is a hole.

However, this transfer order was very strange. Xing was only allowed to take his two family members to the sea outside Linyuan, and someone would come to pick him up at that time.

"?"

Xing was a little confused, but he couldn't ask, so he had to swallow his doubts.

"Did he get a promotion?"

Muttering, Xing stuffed the letter back and went home to tell Qiong and Tingyun about it.

"If you get a promotion, you don't have to mention us, right?"

Qiong also felt it was strange and scratched his head.

"I think this transfer order is aimed at the three of us... Since it's the three of us, I'm afraid this secret realm is about to enter the next stage."

"Oh right... I've been here for a few months and I've forgotten this is a secret place."

Qiong stuck out her tongue. She had gotten used to the life here without realizing it.

"There's another scene..."

Xing was speechless.

To be honest, after so much time has passed, I still miss the Starry Sky Train.

"There's no point in saying more. Everything will be known tomorrow."

After Tingyun finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the side and put his hand on the light switch.

"It's late at night, it's time for you to rest~"

The next day, Xing brought Qiong and Tingyun to the sea outside Linyuan.

For some reason, this place is very quiet today. Not only are there no tourists, but even the Cloud Cavalry are not seen.

"There's someone over there."

Qiong looked around and then pointed to the distance and said.

Looking in the direction Qiong pointed, I saw a female figure standing at the junction of the seashore and the waves.

He was wearing a long martial arts robe, with his hands behind his back and his long gray hair fluttering in the wind.

"You are here."

The woman spoke slowly, then turned sideways.

The emerald eyes looked at the three people calmly, long and deep.

"marshal."

Xing was shocked. Although he didn't know why Hua was here, and he wasn't sure whether this was the Hua in the illusion or the Hua in the outside world, he still immediately saluted.

"How are the results of Taixu Sword Qi?"

Hua looked at Xing for a moment, then spoke.

When Xing heard Hua ask this, he immediately understood.

It seems that the marshal wants to personally inspect the training results of himself and others.

"I've already mastered the first four moves, but the Sword Master is still figuring it out."

"Oh? It's progressing faster than I expected."

Hua nodded.

"Marshal, are you from outside?"

Qiong asked secretly.

Hua did not answer, but just looked at Qiong meaningfully with a slight smile on his lips.

Tingyun on the side looked at Hua, then looked at Xing and Qiong, and then he also smiled.

Seeing Hua didn't say anything, Qiong thought that he probably agreed.

He can even interfere with the illusion, he is worthy of being a marshal.

"You guys should take action together."

Hua spoke slowly, his tone still calm.

"what?"

Xing and Qiong were both stunned. What was this? We were going to fight the Marshal?

"Should I say it again?"

After hearing this, Xing and Qiong were sure that they had not heard wrongly.

The two of them were not pretentious people. Since Huadu said so, they were just ready to test the results of their practice in recent months.

"Marshal, I'm sorry."

Xing drew out his sword and bowed to Hua.

Hua didn't say anything, just nodded.

Xing brushed two fingers across the long sword, and the long sword was immediately stained with a faint white light.

The sword was swung out, and the beginning was the sword energy style.

A crescent-shaped sword energy several meters long swept towards Hua.

Hua waved two fingers and swung out a sword energy.

"Don't you need weapons to activate the sword energy..."

Although Xing can do this, it is sword energy after all, and its power will be greatly reduced if it is not used with weapons.

Only by comprehending the last move of the Sword God can one transform the sword with the power of the divine, let the sword energy come from the heart, and truly abandon the weapon to perfectly display the Taixu Sword Energy.

Qiong also moved, pointing the long sword in his hand at Hua from a distance, and a sword light suddenly pierced Hua.

Hua dodged to the side and pointed with his backhand. Countless tiny sword energies flew wildly around the dome.

"Sword-shaped cloud..."

Hua used things recorded in the sword manual, so Qiong naturally knew how to deal with it.

But just as Qiong was about to counterattack, he saw Hua jump up and wave his palm downwards.

Immediately, an invisible pressure restricted Qiong's movements.

"Wow! Why are you still using your sword energy to suppress me?"

Qiong immediately felt like she was being bullied by an adult. Isn't this purely based on level suppression?

It feels quite unsportsmanlike.

Seeing this, Xing let go of the sword in his hand and hit the hilt with his palm.

The sharp sword flew out, then turned into dozens of sword lights and shot towards Hua in the air.

Hua waved his sleeves and punched through the air.

With a sound explosion, the sword lights were blown away.

Hua made a sword gesture in front of his chest, and then the sky suddenly became illusory.

Qiong, who was standing by, felt the hairs on her body stand up and her pupils suddenly shrink.

The next second, his eyes became empty and his body fell helplessly to the ground.

"Taixu Sword God!"

Xing only felt that he was surrounded by endless light and the sound of swords. It was useless even if he closed his eyes and plugged his ears.

This move is invisible. Unless someone is being targeted, it would appear to outsiders as if nothing has happened.

It is precisely because of this that this move is even more terrifying. Its power is not visible at all, and all of it is concentrated on the enemy without any waste.

A sword that could split the sky pierced out from the illusory sky and pointed straight at the stars.

There is no way to avoid Xingbi, as this move locks onto the soul of the person being used, making it impossible to escape.

And even if it doesn't lock onto you, this sword seems to cover the entire sky and earth. Where can you run to?

"Fight!"

Xing gritted his teeth. If he didn't use the Taixu Sword God, his defeat would be a foregone conclusion.

Although I didn't expect to win, it would be too cowardly to lose without doing anything.

Xing took a deep breath, and his heart, form, mind and soul quickly reached their peak under the extreme pressure.

With a sword swing, a sword shadow pierced through the void and stabbed straight towards the sword shadow in the sky.

But compared to the sword shadows in the sky, the stars look much smaller and thinner.

The sword shadows interacted with each other and stalemated for a moment, then Xing's sword shadow immediately dissipated.

However, it also caused the tip of Hua's sword to shatter, turning it into a broken sword.

"Although I succeeded in triggering it... is it really that powerful?"

Xing accepted his fate with a hint of doubt, and watched helplessly as the sword shadow was about to swallow him up.

His brain became hazy, and he felt like he was about to be swallowed up by the sword's sound and lose consciousness.

"Okay, stop making trouble and save some face for my benefactor."

Tingyun's voice was heard from the side.

Then Tingyun waved his fan, and the huge sword shadow that created the world was blown away like flying ash.

"Are you crazy? What are you doing?!"

In the sky, Hua was shocked when he saw this, and then shouted in frustration.

Xing was also stunned at this moment, a little confused.

However, a second later, Xing's eyes twitched and his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

Then Xing pointed his finger at Hua in the sky and shouted.

"Good on you, you know your treasure! Act for me again!"
