Simulated Star Iron: Miracles are yours, death is mine

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

He carried his schoolbag and returned to the gate of the courtyard. Before he even opened the gate, he heard two familiar voices talking.

"Teacher, the message from the God of the Heavenly Bow indicates that a large number of abominations have appeared in the Fasa Galaxy, which may lead to a fierce battle."

We must immediately set out and punish these scoundrels!

Feixiao's tone was anxious and somewhat solemn: "Teacher, although the Fasa Galaxy has certain defensive capabilities, it must still face many difficulties in resisting the Fengrao people."

Furthermore, the fact that Fasa has trade relations with our Immortal Boat Alliance is another reason why we must take action.

"Xiao'er, I know all of this. Please sit down."

“Sit? Teacher, how can I sit right now?” Fei Xiao smiled bitterly and clenched his fists. “We have to hurry. We need to save Fasa before the God of the Heavenly Bow draws his bow.”

Yue Yu said sternly, “Xiao’er, you must keep your composure!”

I received the message long before the two systems were in operation.

The battle in Fasa is indeed intense, but we cannot lose our composure because of it, or we will only fall into a disadvantageous position.

Besides..."

Yue Yu paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "The mobilization of the Yaoqing Expeditionary Fleet also takes time."

Our fleet will not be able to set sail for at least two days.

Before that, you should finish everything else you need to do.

Feixiao nodded helplessly, feeling overwhelmed by the situation.

How should I tell my junior brother about this?

Although she had already told Lin Yuan that she would not take him to the expeditionary fleet until he had achieved sufficient results.

but……

Is Lin Yuan really willing to stay obediently with Yao Qing?

she does not know.

At the very least, she knew that Lin Yuan must be very reluctant to part with her and Teacher Yue Yu.

When I first met him, they were still fighting in the Lorraine system.

Many times, she saw Lin Yuan sobbing in his sleep.

At that time, there was nothing she could do except gently hug Lin Yuan.

No matter how strong and mature he is, he is still a six-year-old child.

After returning to Yaoqing, such incidents occurred much less frequently.

War has broken out, and no matter what, they must rush to the battlefield immediately.

No one dared to say for sure that they would return from the battlefield.

She can't fly.

Even Yue Yu, as the hunting envoy, dared not say such a thing.

Therefore, every farewell may be the last.

So how should I tell my junior brother about this?

Just as Feixiao was in a dilemma, Linyuan's voice came from behind him.

"Teacher, senior sister, when are you coming back?"

Fei Xiao was shocked and turned around to find Lin Yuan already standing behind him.

"Did you hear everything?" Fei Xiao leaned down to look at him.

"Yes, I know the Fasa system is an important system, so this battle must be fought."

Lin Yuan's face didn't show much expression, or rather, Fei Xiao couldn't discern his expression.

Yueyu poured him a glass of water and gently patted his head: "Fasa might be a tough nut to crack; a month or two might not be enough."

Lin Yuan's heart tightened. Yue Yu had once told him that if it couldn't be resolved in one or two months, it might take half a year or even more than a year.

This is definitely going to be a tough battle.

He couldn't help but start to worry about Yueyu and Feixiao.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister and Teacher will be back soon." Fei Xiao gently hugged him, her gaze falling on the lush green osmanthus tree, and a thought stirred within her.

She looked at Lin Yuan and said solemnly, "I promise you, I will come back when the osmanthus flowers are in full bloom."

Lin Yuan looked at the osmanthus tree with a determined look in his eyes: "Okay, Senior Sister, you can't lie to me."

-----------------

The night before the expedition

"Senior sister, we're leaving tomorrow morning. Why aren't you asleep? Why are you here?" Lin Yuan asked, looking at Fei Xiao at the door.

Feixiao chuckled and pinched Lin Yuan's cheek: "It's been so long since I slept with you, how about we sleep together tonight?"

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

He was indeed reluctant to part with Feixiao and Yueyu; for a long time to come, he would be all alone in this courtyard.

“I know what you’re thinking, junior brother, but this is the responsibility we have to bear.” Fei Xiao sighed softly and gently stroked his cheek with her slender fingers. “Besides, you’re still too young, and the front line is too dangerous for you.”

"Once I finish my studies at both regular school and military academy, I can go to the front lines with you guys, right?"

Feixiao's fox ears twitched, and he laughed, "Add one more: achieve a good result in the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony."

The Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony is still very important to you. If you can achieve good results, it can quell their doubts about you and your teachers.

"Senior sister, I saw your ears twitch. Every time this happens, you're just bullying me," Lin Yuan protested, pouting.

"Hmm? Since you can't beat me, I'll just bully you." Fei Xiao rarely acted like a spoiled child.

Lin Yuan didn't respond, but instead lowered his head, holding Fei Xiao and whispering:

"I will do my best with the martial arts ceremony. Senior sister, I will miss you and our teacher. I have already seen death... I don't want you to leave me one day."

A hint of sadness flashed in Fei Xiao's beautiful eyes: "Junior brother, I don't want you to be a left-behind child either, but... this is our responsibility as Cloud Riders."

The celestial vessel soars high, its cloud-riding steeds forever victorious! Soaring without falling, its glory endures for ten thousand years!

Our vow is like a cloud obscuring the sky, protecting our celestial vessel!

This is our promise.

I... Junior Brother, I don't want the meteor of the God of Heavenly Bow to fall, because that represents the destruction of a world.

I also hope I can bring one more person back to Yaoqing, because that would save a life.

This is my dream, and I will make it a reality.

Don't worry, your teacher and I have already made arrangements for you. Your daily life and meals will be taken care of by the people from the General's Mansion.

Sweetie, go to sleep early...

"When the osmanthus flowers bloom, my senior sister will be back..."

Lin Yuan didn't say anything more, but firmly remembered the words "osmanthus".

He wanted to take good care of the osmanthus tree in the yard, because it was a promise his senior sister had made to him.

"Clouds obscure the sky, protecting the immortal ship... Senior sister, I will also become a Cloud Rider to protect you, teacher, and countless other immortal ship passengers from the flames of war brought by the Abundant People..."

"Okay, I believe you, Senior Sister." Fei Xiao smiled and touched his face, her eyes full of reluctance.

-----------------

Four o'clock in the morning

Feixiao quietly got up, glanced at Linyuan who was still fast asleep, and sighed softly.

"You must grow up well... Your senior sister is waiting for you to fulfill your promise."

This is the second vow I made to you, senior sister.

After saying that, he walked out of the courtyard with Yue Yu, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

It's seven o'clock in the morning.

Yao Qing's expeditionary fleet is fully prepared and is about to depart for the Fasa system to participate in the war.

Many people spontaneously came to the port to see him off after receiving the news.

They chanted over and over again: "May the celestial boat soar high and the cloud riders be ever victorious!"

Feixiao, on the other hand, would occasionally scan the crowd, as if searching for someone.

"What? Are you looking for Yuan'er?" Yue Yu saw through her thoughts at a glance.

Fei Xiao didn't hide anything and said frankly, "Well, it seems he didn't come. It's better that he didn't come... I was afraid he would cry."

Yue Yu chuckled lightly and said leisurely, "Don't you understand your junior brother's personality? He's already here, watching you."

"Huh? But I didn't see him." Fei Xiao was skeptical and looked at the crowd again. "Besides, he was sleeping soundly at four o'clock."

If Lin Yuan really comes, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to find him.

“He’s been here for a while now, watching us from somewhere.” Yue Yu’s smile remained unchanged. “He might be at the very top of that building.”

Feixiao looked in the direction Yueyu had indicated and indeed found two small dots at the very top of a skyscraper.

Before she could see clearly, Yueyu pulled her away: "Stop looking, the fleet is about to set sail, let's go."

-----------------

The top floor of a skyscraper

“Young Master Lin Yuan, Lord Yue Yu and Miss Fei Xiao are about to depart,” a member of the Chi Ming clan said to him.

"I understand, let's go." Lin Yuan nodded, his face expressionless.

"Why don't you go..."

"There's no reason why," he coldly interrupted the Vidyadhara.

"Yes, I understand. Where do we go next?"

"At the General's Mansion, my teacher taught me how to handle government affairs."

"Oh, right, young master, there's one more thing."

Originally, the General's Mansion arranged for a fox-person to serve as your star raft driver.

But when Miss Feixiao found out, she insisted on changing the driver, saying that you disliked the starship driven by the fox spirits. Therefore, from now on, I will be responsible for your travels.”

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the port again.

The engine nozzles of the expeditionary fleet were already emitting dazzling light as it slowly sailed away from the port.

He watched the fleet depart, his eyes welling up with tears without him even realizing it: "Senior sister... I will grow up and then fulfill our vow."

"Abundance never dies, the hunt never ends!"

I've been accumulating drafts for the past ten days, and I'll start updating regularly again after the National Day holiday.
