The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"I don't know why, but after reading this diary, I suddenly felt much closer to my mother. Although I was surprised to learn that we are not blood-related mother and daughter, I understand her better than before."

“Could you please stay with me one more time? I want to have a good talk with my mother.”

"Qingni, wipe away your tears and cheer up."

"But this is your family matter..." Xing was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay," Qing Ni said softly, "I don't need you to do anything for me... I just hope you and Mr. Walter can stand by and give me some courage."

"Okay then." Xing agreed.

"The two of them went to find Walter, who had wandered off, and recounted what had just happened."

"...I understand." Walter agreed to Qingni's request. "However, although we all hope to help you, when it comes to negotiating with your mother, Xing and I cannot directly intervene for emotional and logical reasons."

"Qingni understands. She just wants someone to stand by her and give her some courage."

"Led by Qingni, the group found Yukong somewhere in the Jade Realm Gate."

"Mom..." Qingni's courage disappeared a lot the moment she saw Yukong."

"The tone of his voice was exactly like that of someone who had just made their mother angry and wanted to talk to her timidly."

"I totally agree." Zhu Yijun felt the same way.

When he was punished for not studying seriously and was forced to kneel, he spoke in the same tone...

Exactly the same!

Do all children in the world behave like this when facing angry parents?

…………

"Qingni? Why are Mr. Walter and Xing here too?" Yukong was surprised that the three of them came to see her together."

"Compared to before, she is in a much better mood now."

"Miss Qingni was very welcoming and took us on a tour. On the way, I heard that she wanted to reconcile with Yukong Siduo, but was a little shy, so I took the liberty of accompanying her," Walter said.

Yukong: "My daughter is very naive. Thank you for your concern."

"Mom!" Qingni pouted.

"Well, it's getting late. Let's talk about it when we get home." Yukong didn't want to discuss family matters in front of the two guests. That would be too rude."

"I have something to discuss with you." Qing Ni quickly stopped her and said, "No matter what, I want to become a battleship pilot!"

"Ha..." Yukong sighed, "I've said this many times before. No means no."

“But…but…” Qingni wanted to tell him everything she had discovered, but she hesitated and didn’t know how to start.

"She still lacks some courage," Zhao Yun said helplessly. "The arrow is on the string and must be shot, but she's still hesitant and afraid to tell the truth."

"She's probably worried that telling the truth will affect the relationship between mother and daughter." Zhuge Liang guessed this was Qingni's thought.

"Indeed, some things are better kept secret." Liu Bei nodded. "However, if she doesn't speak out, she will probably never be able to become a pilot in her lifetime."

…………

"Seeing that she was really struggling, Xing thought she should help her, so she took out Cai Yi's diary."

“This is…” Yukong’s eyes narrowed: “Cai Yi’s diary? How could this thing be here…”

"At this moment, she felt inexplicably panicked. The appearance of this thing here meant... Qingni knew everything?"

"I understand." Yukong knew he couldn't hide it any longer. "Qingni... I'm sorry, I can't support your wish because I've already made a vow to Caiyi. I don't expect you to forgive me for hiding it from you, but I just hope you can listen to my explanation."

"Mom, what are you talking about? We are mother and daughter, how can we talk about forgiveness and excuses? I am willing to listen to whatever you say." Qingni said hurriedly.

"The grace of raising a child is greater than heaven. Even though they are not related by blood, she still considers Yukong as her own mother from the bottom of her heart."

"Hearing this, the worry between Yukong's brows dissipated a lot."

"She turned her head to look at the sky beyond the railing."

"I once shared your vision of the sky. I know what it feels like... to sail through space, surrounded by vast emptiness and unimaginable wonders beyond."

“Drifting like a lone boat among the stars, some call it ‘loneliness,’ but we prefer to call it ‘freedom.’”

"Cai Yi is the same kind of person. We've been friends since childhood, driving the Star Raft around and causing trouble until we were captured and brought before General Jing Yuan."

"Hahahahahaha, Yukong looks mature and steady, I didn't expect she also has such an experience? Champion Marquis, you are very similar."

Liu Che laughed out loud.

Huo Qubing scratched his head embarrassedly.

Yes, he was also a troublemaker when he was young... But isn't he much better now? He has changed the target of his troublemaking from the Han people to the Xiongnu!

…………

"Soon after that, Cai Yi and I became Luofu's most elite battleship pilots. Life back then was far from easy, even brutal—you never knew if your friends would make it back home, and you never knew if you could even make it back home."

"But for me, those are the most beautiful memories of my life. Shedding my blood, battling the skies, purging evil, upholding justice... A fox's life is so short, shouldn't it be spent burning with such a glorious cause?"

"Life is...short?"

Ying Zheng had the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

If he remembered correctly, fox people should have a lifespan of more than three hundred years, right?

Is this also called short-term?

How can we explain the fact that he is only in his forties but already showing signs of aging?

His life is as short as an ant's!

MD, he must have this immortality!

…………

As Yukong narrated, the sky gradually changed to Yukong's memories of the past.

At that time, she had a good chat with Cai Yi, who had just returned to the team after giving birth.

If you only listen to the voice, you will hardly believe that it is Yukong... The voice is too lively, it sounds like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Come to think of it, Cai Yi... I really didn't expect you to come back. Is the battle ship so attractive to you?"

"That's incredibly appealing. It's hard, tiring, and poorly paid. You're constantly on your toes, and you can't get back to Luofu very often... But if I had to choose again, I'd still choose to be a battleship pilot."

"Then we should have the same idea."

“Yes, because… we’ve all touched the sky.”
