Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

All the gossip fires that had risen in the hearts of the two young girls were extinguished by this sentence. They had already imagined many possibilities in their minds, but they never expected that the opening line would be to ask each other's names. Qingni and Tingyun were completely dumbfounded.

"Dark Lord Hook?" Fan Yu subconsciously lowered his head to look at his waist.

But he saw Yukong directly took out a nameplate that had been washed away by time, which made Fan Yu pause.

That was the nameplate he had obtained before leaving Yalilo VI. In fact, it was a childish "mark" that Hook had secretly stuffed on him at some point. So until he left Fanyu, he didn't pay much attention to it, and just regarded it as a child's simple reluctance to leave.

Fan Yu took the nameplate from Yukong. The nameplate was brand new a day ago, but after Yukong's passing, the words on it had become blurred, like an antique.

The power of time has left its mark on this plaque.

"If you really want to address me, you can call me... No, it would be more appropriate to call me Fan Yu in the Immortal Boat." Fan Yu said.

Yukong paused, "I see, Your Excellency Fanyu, my name is Yukong..."

Fan Yu stared at the other party's formal self-introduction in silence: "You said this before."

Time has left its mark on Cai Yi!

The same was clearly true for Yukong. At least compared to the impulsive Yukong in the space-time bubble, the Yukong of thirty years later was much more composed.

"Really? Then you are still the same as before, nothing has changed." Yukong said seriously.

Fan Yu scratched his face and smiled without explaining: "..."

The atmosphere fell into silence again, and Yukong continued to stare at Fan Yu, wanting to see something.

Such an atmosphere suddenly made the two young girls, Tingyun and Qingni, feel embarrassed.

The two young fox girls looked at each other and could see the confusion in each other's eyes.

[What's going on? They know each other but don't know each other's names.]

[No, judging from the current situation, it is Master Yukong's unrequited love.]

Tingyun and Qingni exchanged glances and felt the gossip fire in their hearts rekindled, like a cat scratching an itch.

On the surface, Yukong is their boss!

Privately, Tingyun and Qingni have been in Tianbosi since they were young, and they are both fox-people, so Yukong can be said to be their elder.

But at this moment, the atmosphere unfolding is just like in some Xianzhou novels, where "the fox fairy elder who has not married for a hundred years, and her long-awaited lover finally shows up", which is really exciting.

"I've been thinking about what you said back then." Yukong opened the topic.

Fan Yu: "What?"

This frivolous response made Yukong's face turn slightly colder.

After all, she is the manager of Tianbosi, and it is impossible for her to admit that "what you said has troubled me for thirty years". It would seem that she is a little possessed.

However, it is undeniable that——

The arrow shot by Emperor Bow Siming shattered the war of the Fengrao people and also shattered her glory as a battleship pilot charging on the front line. She felt despair in the face of great power.

However, the mysterious appearance of this fellow, and his high-spirited words - 'The Hunter (Lan) also became a Star God from a human, with his ownerless fate scattered across the universe' - words that revealed that Star Gods were nothing more than that, did change her mindset of wanting to throw in the towel.

And... because Fan Yu disappeared without explaining himself completely, he left her in suspense as the 'Riddler' for a full thirty years.

"I'm referring to your advice to Lord Di Gong." Yukong reminded.

Fan Yu: "Oh, you mean the power of the Star God, right? Is there a problem with that?"

Yukong: "..."

Is there no problem?

Do not……

What she wanted to ask was perhaps, "Don't Star Gods make people despair?", "Why do you have the audacity to speak so arrogantly when you haven't become that powerful?", "How could you say those words and even retain your confidence in the face of such power?"

These are the reasons why Yukong wanted to continue the unfinished conversation with the other party and was always confused in his heart.

Or perhaps a deeper, essential factor was that the shock that had shattered her heart initially had remained in part because of the interference of this man's words, which also prevented her from completely lying down despite her original intention of "lying down."

[Maybe if I try harder, I can do it.]

[Try again…]

These thoughts entangled Yukong.

So much so that the rockery in the yard has been replaced countless times in the past thirty years, but it was still in ruins last night after being shot by arrows countless times by her.

everything--

All because of this man's casual words, "Star God is nothing more than this."

Yukong whispered, "The gap between us and the Star God... I still don't see any hope."

Chapter 20 "Tingyun: It was obviously me first..."

Do not……

Even the administrator of Luofu, General Shen Ce Jing Yuan who was in charge of controlling the Luofu Cloud Cavalry, Yukong had a clear perception that the two sides were not on the same level at all.

The other party is from the Xianzhou Alliance, one of the seven generals of the Emperor Bow under the Emperor Bow Siming (the hunting star god), that is, the "commander" in the universe.

She had practiced archery for thirty years and had already felt her limits.

Fan Yu was stunned, meeting the eyes from the opposite side. He did not understand why the attitude of this green-haired fox girl towards him changed so much in just one day (the other party's thirty years). However, the deep resentment projected towards him was a substantial manifestation.

[I want to give up!]

Fan Yu could probably grasp the similar meaning, but a hint of amusement crossed his face. "Did what I said back then bother you? This is something I hadn't considered."

Yukong raised an eyebrow: "Is that all?"

She was not satisfied with this ambiguous response.

Fan Yu still had a smile on his face.

But deep in his golden eyes, the color of the connection between Yukong and Yukong observed from the spectral perspective changed dramatically.

In just a few dozen minutes, the brief journey from red (first stage) → orange (second stage) → yellow (third stage) → green (fourth stage)... has gradually reached cyan (fifth stage).

Because the idea of ​​'Star God' that Fan Yu had buried deep in her mind had grown and sprouted after thirty years.

At this moment when the two sides met, the depth of Yukong's connection with himself had directly reached [Depth 5]. This was completely different from the previous connection state of Cocolia, which used the star core to forcibly pile the spirits of both parties together.

This is the spirit that Fan Yu originally expressed, a resonance of will formed after a long period of accumulation in the air.

She was influenced and took action, and this feedback was presented directly, so Fan Yu felt that Yukong's words were just a simple resentment.

"If this is not enough, then the only reason you feel conflicted is because you agree with my ideas, right?" Fan Yu asked back.

Yukong was stunned, and looked a little annoyed: "How dare you speculate about me?"

This kind of defenseless response undoubtedly proved her inner unrest at the moment.

The two fox girls, Tingyun and Qingni, who were standing nearby, found that they gradually couldn't understand the topic. This didn't seem to be the gossip they were interested in, but they found it very attractive.

Especially the person in front of him who looks very young, who has pierced through the gorgeous exterior in front of the usually majestic Lord Yukong (godmother), and now shows his true attitude, which is really amazing.

Of course, Yukong's expression did not last for a few breaths, and he quickly adjusted his mood.

She took a deep breath. "Maybe you're right. I shouldn't dwell on this. Thirty years is enough to prove something. But..."

At this point, Yukong paused and asked, examining the situation, "Let's get back to the point. Mr. Fanyu, how do you explain why your ship broke through the Jade Realm Gate and illegally entered the Immortal Boat Luofu?"

Fan Yu was speechless: "Are you turning against me?"

"No, as the helmsman of the Tianbo Division, I have the obligation to understand the purpose of you as the person involved. I have been magnanimous not to report your information to the Gongzao Division." Yukong snorted.

But to Fan Yuyi, this sentence sounded like a personal revenge that did not satisfy her.

The two of them were stuck in place, and Qingni and Tingyun next to them were also a little dumbfounded. Who would have thought that it would end up like this?

Fortunately, at this time.

Cai Yi came out of the house carrying the prepared tea and snacks. The gentle yet generous voice of the elder sister came: "Okay, the food is here. My benefactor, please don't try to sneak away like you did last time, leaving me with no idea where to go to repay you.

It just so happens that Yukong is also on vacation today, so let's have some tea. Let's continue to have a drink in the evening!"

Tingyun muttered quietly, "I have already made an agreement with Engong."

Cai Yi: “Oh?”

Tingyun said tactfully, "It's about that spaceship."

"Well, it has been transported by the general to the Industrial Construction Department for research. After all, the flashing power in front of the port, coupled with the ability to pass through the Jade Realm Gate, is really curious." Cai Yi said bluntly.

Yukong asked Fanyu seriously, "That method comes from you, not the spaceship itself, right?"

Fan Yu gave a vague response: "They can barely be considered complementary."

"Humph!"

"Okay, today is a good day. Let's go sit by the pond first!" Cai Yi handed the things to his daughter and greeted Fan Yu and Yu Kong enthusiastically. Inadvertently, one hand gently poked his best friend, indicating that he should not be too reserved.

There was a hint of stiffness on Yukong's face. He was aware of Caiyi's actions, but felt uncomfortable turning away.

The two were half-pushed and half-led towards the pavilion by the pond.

Qingni and Tingyun, who stayed where they were, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Then... are we going too?" Qing Ni was holding a cup of tea, with an uncertain look on her face as to whether she could attend the dinner ahead.

With the mother's posture, it was obvious that it was similar to the attitude of some matchmakers in Xianzhou who paired up older fox people.

Tingyun looked at the receding figure and felt that the feeling of being the only one who discovered the little secret at the port was gone, but facing the boss's behavior of taking advantage of others, he could only accept it with tears.

She shook her head and said, "Since this benefactor has already been arranged by Master Yukong, then there is no need for me here."

Before leaving, she glanced at the two figures sitting opposite each other in the pavilion and secretly complained in her heart.

[It was obviously me first...]

……

At the same time, on the other side.

Located in a single room in Dandingsi.

A woman in a Taoist robe leaned over and knelt in the empty space.

Her eyes were dull, reflecting a ball of ghostly fire, like a puppet whose soul had been taken away. She murmured, "Yes, Master Huanlong. The mission has failed..."

[Even this little thing can't be done. The Immortal Boat is more difficult than I imagined.]

The 'illusion' maintained by the invisible fire became increasingly irritating as the Taoist-robed alchemist scanned his memory.

Starting from the interstellar space and lurking in the immortal ship Luofu, her plan should have been mostly carried out long ago.

But one after another unexpected events...

The virtual soldier hatched from the furnace of war encountered a star god of the same kind and was shattered on the journey to the immortal boat.

The recently appeared Starry Sky Train.

Claiming to be the remnants of the WingMakers from thousands of years ago...

There is also a ship that looks like it belongs to the Interstellar Peace Company.

Has she, the 'Lord of Extinction' under the command of Destruction, been silent for too long, causing all sorts of monsters and demons to start jumping around?

Chapter 21: Connecting to the Sky: Depth 5 (Updated)

Tianbosi.

I chatted with Yukong and Caiyi at the table for a while.

In other words, the vast majority of the content is Cai Yi's narration of events that happened over the past thirty years after he had drunk some wine.

As the day drew to a close, it was already evening on the Xianzhou. As the day progressed, the colors in the direction of Tianbosi Sichen Palace were no longer as bright, and the colors originally reflected outside had gradually been replaced by the lights on the street.

Cai Yi lay on the table, still smiling, and said, "Let me tell you, during these years of Yukong, I've worked in every position in the Tianbo Division, from maintenance worker to pilot, as well as armorer and astrologer. Thirty years have passed in a flash..."

thump!

As she spoke, she fell down.

"It's rare to see Cai Yi in such a situation. Maybe it's because the kindness he felt in the past has been weighing on his heart. Now that he sees you, he feels relieved." Yukong said with emotion.

Fan Yu held his chin: "..."
