Chapter 29 Kafka on a Bounty

Fan Yu: "..."

What he saw was a mask with the same specifications and design as the Dark Night Solar Ship, and even the head of the mask had patterns of the sun and trees.

Thinking about what Qingque just mentioned, it must be Qiongsang, the "mother planet" of the Wing Makers.

only……

If it were a ship, it would be easier to identify.

That was the design layout of the "Dark Night Solar Ship" he had created, but this pattern was reflected on a mask.

Tingyun hesitated to speak: "This mask..."

She actually had some vague guesses, but she didn't think in the way Fan Yu was thinking.

Qingque explained: "In fact, according to the description in the files, such masks appeared thousands of years ago."

"A thousand years?! Is this true?" Tingyun was suddenly shocked.

"The files won't record anything that has no basis."

Qingque said solemnly, "This mask was first discovered at the end of the battlefield thousands of years ago. Among the WingMakers, there was a unique WingMaker who appeared in this mask. He never stopped, and even during the battle, he was mostly looking for something.

Long after the war subsided, traces of this mask persisted. WingMakers wearing this mask often strayed from the war between the Fertility People and the Immortal Ships, playing a complex and confusing role in the conflict between the two sides.

Tingyun tried to ask, "It sounds like there's an ulterior motive?"

Qingque hummed, "That suspicion can't be ruled out. Just like the issues with the Chiming Clan and the Dragon Lords on the Xianzhou side, the Fengrao people, with their different ethnic groups, naturally have similar problems. They were largely forgotten in history, but this time, the large number of Wingmakers attempting to break into Luofu has made us realize that things aren't that simple."

"Oh, right……"

At this point, Qingque suddenly realized something and warned the two, "Don't make this information public. The files the Divine Strategy Office has transferred to us are encrypted for analysis. Anyone who leaks this information without authorization will be taken to the Ten Kings Division for interrogation."

Tingyun: “…”

Isn't it a bit late to say this?

"Of course, regarding the two divination questions that Ruoyue asked you, there will probably be no assassins in Changletian, so you can rest assured." Qingque immediately added.

She was about to say something when she suddenly saw two fortune tellers coming towards the Taibusi on the left. Her expression suddenly changed: "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. And if anyone encounters me later, don't say you've seen me."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly said hello to the other three card-playing friends, and her figure disappeared from sight as fast as lightning.

Not long after, two anxious-looking Taipusi students arrived. "Excuse me, have you met Senior Qingque? She's a petite girl. Something big has happened in the Taipusi!"

Following Qingque's instructions, Tingyun suddenly reached out and took Fanyu's hand, shaking his head innocently: "We've been here the whole time, and we haven't seen the person you mentioned."

The two students from the Taibusi Division did not doubt it either. They just sighed in disappointment and immediately began to ask other people nearby.

"Looking at them, it seems like there really is a problem with Taibusi. It shouldn't be a problem for me..." Tingyun said hesitantly.

Fan Yu: "Since you've promised Qingque, then don't worry about these issues. Besides, as you said before, Changletian borders the Shen Ce Mansion and the Taibu Division. If there really is a problem, they will be able to react immediately, right?"

Tingyun felt relieved after hearing this: "That's true... Then, I will continue to lead the way for you, my benefactor, okay?"

Fan Yu nodded.

In the following time, under the leadership of Tingyun, the two traveled through some places in Changletian.

For example, the Dihengsi mentioned by Tingyun was responsible for handling all major and minor issues in Changletian, from intruders to helping find small animals. During this period, Fanyu also received help from the Dihengsi in finding the way.

They went from the left side of Changletian to the Shen Ce Mansion behind the stairs, and then returned to the square near the original Youxia Pavilion along the same route.

In a small long pond nearby, the adults looked at the fish swimming leisurely in it, and the children clasped their hands together, praying that their seriously ill mother at home would get better soon.

On both sides of the road, a rolling red projection appeared that was inconsistent with the current style.

To be precise——

That's a wanted poster.

A black Su Ju, with red pupils, wearing the gorgeous clothes of the fairy boat, a man with a stern face.

[Dangerous person who escaped from prison... If you encounter this person... please inform the Xianzhou Cloud Cavalry immediately!]

The screen scrolled intermittently, and the text on it could not be seen carefully from a distance, so one could only get a general idea.

Tingyun, who was standing next to Fan Yu, saw his expression and asked curiously, "Does your benefactor care about that? That's a wanted poster for the Immortal Boat Cloud Riders. He did manage to escape before, but it's said that someone helped him..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw that the stern man had skipped over the scrolling screen and was replaced by a photo of a woman with purple hair and bangs.

[Kafka.

Race: Human female.

Origin: Tianyiwu·New Babylon, member of the Star Core Hunters, deputy of "Slaves of Fate".

The following cases and deeds: Pierpoint Invasion Case, Trovis System Disappearance Case, Delova Star Core Incident, Zuko, Lidoviya, Ilili, Atuin, Bulhama Star Core...etc.

Wanted Level: Highest, dead or alive. (Reward: 10.899 billion credits)

———Wanted order issued by the Interstellar Peace Company. 】

"This doesn't seem to be a wanted order from Xianzhou itself, but from the Interstellar Peace Company." Tingyun said in surprise.

Fan Yu: "..."

There was something strange about his expression.

The woman on the wanted poster was the mysterious woman he met in the teahouse shortly after arriving at Xingcha Sea yesterday.

Moreover, judging from the puppet-like appearance of the teahouse owner and the customers and the red line that appeared, Fan Yu suspected that it was deliberately set up by the other party who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Now, his premonition was confirmed.

"A star core hunter..." Fan Yu looked down at his right hand, immersed in the light emitted by the star core hidden in his flesh and blood. He was not sure whether this was the target of the other party.

But it is basically confirmed that it was premeditated.

Tingyun looked at the wanted poster number below and said with a sigh, "Even if the reward is only in credit points, it's really outrageous."

Fan Yu nodded in agreement.

He couldn't help but think, if he captured the other party, how many planets could he buy with the credit points?

PS: The second update is here~

I went out to attend the full moon banquet and came back in the evening.

(Sorry, I'll post another one later ~ probably around 1-2 o'clock)

Chapter 30: 'Vajra Dragon Lord Bailu' (Additional Update)

Territory means more connections, and [Connection] means being able to continue the cycle and help oneself become stronger in this universe filled with Star Gods...

Having served as the leader of Yalilo VI, Fan Yu gained more connection targets from his status as a "king", and it was inevitable that he would think about expanding his territory.

Considering that the other party is a star core hunter and he has a star core in his hand, this natural "opposition" concept makes Fan Yu's idea rational.

"My benefactor, is this woman very attractive?"

Fan Yu said frankly, "What's tempting is the credit points that are on Kafka's bounty."

But next time I see him, I must be on guard against his methods of controlling people.

“…” Tingyun opened his mouth, not knowing whether to lament his lack of understanding of romance or to praise his honesty.

Fortunately, the two of them did not dwell on this topic.

Returning to the square, they came down from the opposite side of the divination house. The center of the square, in front of the platform, was empty. Only a few people on the immortal boats were playing with their children.

Passing by, a maid in a long gown came from the direction of the medical market. She had the pointed ears of the Vajra tribe and looked around anxiously.

She scanned the couples at the Leisure Pavilion, the anxious crowd outside the divination house, and everything in front of the square. Finally, her gaze fell on a pair of members in front of the Diheng Division. She anxiously said, "Master Bailu has sneaked away again."

"Eh? Didn't Lady Dragon escape yesterday? Didn't the elders of the clan put her in solitary confinement?" The members of the Diheng Division asked in surprise, as if they were already accustomed to all this.

The Chiming Clan maid's expression changed slightly, and she whispered, "The elders received a group of distinguished guests yesterday, so they didn't punish Master Bailu."

"Is that so... I understand. I will report this to Senior Qing Zhu, and she will send someone to help you look for it." A member of the Dihengsi said firmly.

Changletian bordered the territory of the Chiming Clan, and they were no longer surprised by the frequent escapes of the Dragon Lady, who had inherited the Dragon Lord's power. They simply attributed this to the Dragon Lord's young age, still retaining a playful and childlike nature.

but--

They obviously miscalculated a little.

In the central square ahead, a mother and her son were playing, when the little girl suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground.

The little girl in a long robe with dragon horns, who had been sneaking around the edge of the street towards Jinren Lane, immediately shouted, "Get out of the way! Don't block us up here."

The little man's appearance in the square caused a burst of exclamations.

"Lord Bailu..."

Bai Lu's face was stiff. She hadn't expected to be recognized the moment she came out. But facing the crowd, she waved her little hand and immediately focused her attention on the twitching child on the ground in her arms: "Stay away a little and don't disturb them."

Although her words were very childish, all the onlookers in front of Chang Letian involuntarily made way for her.

The mother of the unconscious child looked up and begged, "Lord Longzun..."

Bai Lu didn't say anything. She squatted down and started checking the little fox man's condition. When she confirmed something, she pulled out the cork from the gourd on her waist and poured a few drops to the little fox man.

As the emerald green liquid flowed into the child's body, the twitching on the child's face gradually subsided, his breathing became even, and his face became rosy.

The mother who saw this also knew that her child was saved: "Thank you, Lord Longzun."

Bai Lu waved her hands and said helplessly, "I just can't stand seeing that expression. The child has been saved, so there's no need for that. Also, after we get home, remember to make him drink plenty of water, so he can slowly get better!"

The second half of the sentence was Bai Lu's teaching in an old-fashioned manner, although her words seemed completely unconvincing considering her chubby baby face.

"Lord Bailu!"

A distant shout made Bai Lu shudder. A panicked expression immediately crossed her face. "Damn it! They've chased me here. Whatever I didn't eat yesterday, I must eat today..."

Her big eyes looked around, looking for a place to hide.

When her eyes fell on the Changletian Stairs near the Dandingsi, she saw a familiar face and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Bai Lu immediately took a step with her short legs and ran in that direction.

"Come on!"

At the same time, Fan Yu and Ting Yun, who were standing in front of the stairs and watching the commotion in front of the Changletian center stage, looked confused.

Tingyun asked uncertainly, "My benefactor, is that dragon girl running towards us?"

Fan Yu responded, "That's right. To be precise, it should be coming towards me."

Tingyun: “Huh?”

Bai Lu hurried to Fan Yu, panting, "Big guy, we met yesterday. You also came to this place close to the cage."

Fan Yu: "Chang Letian is actually quite good. Why don't you just tell me what you want?"

Bai Lu snorted and got straight to the point: "Please help me. Sister Banxia and I agreed to meet her. Please help me hold back the pursuers. I don't want to break the agreement!"

Fan Yu looked behind her and saw a maid from the Chiming tribe and members from the Dihengsi.

"Then consider this as a reward for your reminder to me yesterday!" Fan Yu said lightly, and then a ball of golden particles appeared silently in his right palm.

As Fan Yu pinched the small ball in the void, he threw it into the air towards the square in front.

In an instant.

The top of Changletian's platform was instantly enveloped in extreme white light.

"What's going on...it's so dazzling!"

"Hurry up and cover your eyes! Don't let Lord Bailu (Longzun) escape!"

There were screams and people running around like headless flies until the white light disappeared a minute later and they regained their vision.
