Collapse, survive

It's not so bad that she's been spending so much time with Gui Naifen; Wilvi will probably really like these kids.

That's right, Su Chang has been having some troubles lately, all because of Scott.

Such an honest girl like her might fall into that lone wolf's trap, leading to a failed attempt to catch the thief red-handed, and tragically, she might end up apologizing under his sarcastic and manipulative pressure...

Fang Jie pondered that it was time to prepare some laxatives for the business war.

However, there's no need for Su Chang to know this. The child is so good; we shouldn't taint her.

Little March is different; she's ruthless, lively, sunny, and unafraid of pollution.

After a pleasant encounter with Su Chang, they continued their tour of the Starry Sea. Fang Jie looked at Xi'er, who was in an even better mood, and said, "Becoming a sea patrol knight is no easy task, but I believe in your determination. Enjoy the 'knighthood' of the immortal ship."

"of course."

Seele's cool eyes sparkled. She liked the Star Train and approved of the Nameless Guest, but the ideals of the Sea Rangers made her even more drawn to them.

That doesn't matter. That's how the nameless people are. They have almost no unified style and are all from other factions of Mao people.

What are these sea patrol rangers, pure knights, masked fools...?

"Where to go next?"

"Wherever I end up, that's where I'll go."

Wandering aimlessly is also a way of exploring recommended by March 7th.

Don't misunderstand the life of the Nameless Ones because of the recent intensity of their development; most of the time, their lives aren't this exciting.

That kind of quiet, unassuming pioneering spirit...

Okay, not much.

"There's something I've always wanted to ask: Is this fairy ship... haunted?"

Xi'er listened in the whole time, and Fang Jie didn't hide anything from her, so she hesitated and still asked about it.

First of all, she is not afraid of ghosts.

Secondly, the fairy boat looks fine, so why is it haunted?

"There are quite a few cyber ghosts in the galaxy, so how could the Immortal Ship avoid them? However, the ghosts of the Immortal Ship also have another name: Suiyang."

"Illusion?"

Upon hearing Suiyang's name, Xier immediately recalled Fang Jie's description of the [Destruction] envoy.

"More or less, but Huanlong is a Great Sun, and she was promoted to Commander by [Nanook]. During the previous turmoil, she shattered the furnace that sealed the Sun, causing these fragments of the Great Sun to drift around and cause harm to this day."

therefore--

A Thousand Stars Travelogue: The Ghost Hunt at Suiyuan.

Compared to Qingque's future ascension to the throne, that is a more cyberpunk immortal dragon vein.

"When the celestial ship travels through the heavens, it inevitably encounters strange and supernatural forces, thus giving rise to many supernatural stories."

Therefore, the judges of the Ten Kings' Office are responsible for this matter.

Fang Jie also thought she was a beautiful judge, and the two reached some cooperation agreements. Xueyi was indeed interested in Soul Steel, but unfortunately, she was not interested in business outside of her job.

Therefore, this matter still needs to be decided by the Ten Kings. If it is successful, Belloberg can manufacture Soul Steel as a product for trade with the Immortal Ship.

Far away.

Fang Jie is about to meet a new judge.

Ahead, a small fox-person judge with a tail scorched by ghostly flames stood cautiously, holding a compass in her small hand, looking towards a distant, eerie place.

— Suiyuan.

Unbeknownst to them, Fang Jie and Xi'er's stroll brought them closer to this place.

That's right. They weren't traveling through bustling areas. Instead, Seele was more interested in the 'wilderness' of the Fairy Ship. She had already seen many of the Fairy Ship's glamorous side, so what was hidden in these relatively quiet places?

Huo Huo didn't hide; she was working.

On that day, a novice judge from the Ten Kings' Court received a decree to subdue a demon.

Huo Huo was a little scared while holding the compass, but she still came without hesitation. She scouted the area outside Suiyuan Garden and when she saw two tourists who were about to wander in, she mustered up her courage and approached them.

"Excuse me, could you wait a moment?"

The sound was soft and gentle, easily overlooked.

and many more.

Huo Huo suddenly froze, because she was instinctively afraid, which is why she often observed the compass.

What about the compass?

And now, the compass is pointing...

Fang Jie cast longing glances and expressions at him, as if to say things like "drooling," "wanting to eat the little cutie," and "found you, delicious child."

Huo Huo was completely stunned by this scene. After letting out a scream, she ran away as fast as the wind.

"Why is the compass pointing at you? Help, help me!"

Not a tourist!

Upon discovering the compass malfunction, Huo Huo ran while hurriedly pulling out a copper coin sword from behind her back. The small, trembling sword and her battle-ready appearance were quite a sight for Xi'er.

Even worse than Hooker!

Who is this kid?

.

Chapter 208 Huo Huo: Tail, if you don't behave, Fang Jie will eat you.

As if night had fallen, everything was pitch black, as if an endless expanse of thick ink had been painted across the sky, without even the faintest glimmer of starlight.

But Suiyuan was not gloomy. Even in its rugged, misty, and desolate edges, faint eerie flames flickered among the broken walls, illuminating...

Stop looking, run!

Fox-people are naturally clever. Even with her short legs, Huo Huo runs like a whirlwind and disappears in the blink of an eye.

"Hi~"

Fang Jie hesitated whether to pursue him.

Although it was just Huo Huo scaring herself again, things would be different once she caught up with them. With her courage, she might...

"Let's wait here."

He shrugged at Seele, who was taken aback.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Of course we'll wait for Huo Huo to calm down and come back. Don't let her appearance fool you, she's a qualified judge of the Ten Kings' Court, she'll come back to 'catch the ghost,' the female ghost."

"So I've become a female ghost?"

Seele looked at the little fox girl who had disappeared without a trace, her expression also unreadable.

She had a reputation in the lower levels, earned through battles, but on this Immortal Ship…

This child is too timid. Can he really be a good judge?

Moreover, as far as she knew, the Ten Kings Division was a very strict organization on the Immortal Ship.

Not a child!

Fang Jie had no intention of correcting him. The age of a Xianzhou person is a psychological measurement method. Those who cannot pass the adult test are still considered children even if they are hundreds of years old.

Excluding Huo Huo, she passed the exam.

But he's timid.

"I've become a male ghost too."

Fang Jie yelled and screamed at Xi'er, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws.

From a distance, wondering if she was seeing things, Huo Huo quickly shrank back into her little head with folded ears.

There's no mistake, the compass is pointing in his direction and it's not moving!

"Help, help, judge! Talkative judge, where are you... And you, Tail Master, all you ever do is scare me. Say something now!"

"A sentence."

An impatient, gruff voice gave a perfunctory response, which instantly made Huo Huo furious.

"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'tail'?"

"It means run! I've never seen anything so weird before."

Without even showing its face, it changed its usual ways of stirring up trouble and bullying Huo Huo. This tail even advised Huo Huo to know when to run away.

"what?"

Huo Huo was shocked.

The gray-green hair reflected the eerie atmosphere of the underworld in Suiyuan Garden. As a classical garden of the fairy ship [Luofu], Suiyuan Garden is characterized by the traditional architectural style of fox people, including pavilions, towers and secluded paths.

Huo Huo, as a new generation judge of the fox people, strongly condemns this style!

The negative impact on teenage fox-people is immeasurable!

On such a dark and windy night, I could only hide alone on a gloomy path, surrounded by nothing but silence. I wanted to find someone to talk to, to give me some encouragement, to bolster my courage...

They used to be so arrogant when they bullied me, but now they're acting so cowardly.

Don't be a coward, I'm scared!

A night breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness to the midsummer night, but it was an untimely chill, and why was it already dark when it was still daytime?

Fang Jie didn't pursue Huo Huo, but he created a terrifying atmosphere, with the false heavens spinning—

He's no good either!

In short, even the faint moonlight could be seen, and very few stars could be observed.

The sky wasn't pure black; instead, it was a deep, boundless blue that peeked through the darkness, stretching far, far into the distance.

Everything around her seemed terrifying; even the claw marks in Huo Huo's pupils trembled. So much so that when the nagging judge, with dark circles under his eyes and an overworked expression, appeared behind her…

It turns out that the tail's cowardice wasn't solely due to the solution.

He hated these judges the most, especially this nagging one.

"Huo Huo, why..."

"Waaaaaaaah!!"

Forget about why, Huo Huo, with her ears down, scurried back again, just as the saying goes—an even fiercer one is coming from over there.

Seeing the little fox girl running back in a flash, Fang Jie smiled triumphantly at Xi'er: "See, I told you Huo Huo would come back. She's very responsible and will never fail in her duty as judge."

Seele was skeptical.

However, it did look quite convincing. Huo Huo, waving the general's flag, charged at an extremely fast speed. Now Xi'er could see clearly that Huo Huo was wearing a hat with lotus crown elements on it. Another command flag was inserted on the right side of the hat. The trigram in the middle of the hat brim was the thirtieth hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, the Li hexagram. The tail of the hat was decorated with "five emperor coins".

Since she started forcing herself to study, Seele has made rapid progress.

She could also rattle off some of the 'common knowledge' about these fairy ships, and even knew that Huo Huo's hair ornament was a Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish.

But isn't there something wrong with the modified compass hanging around her neck? Why does it keep pointing at her?

Silently pulling Fang Jie to her side, Xi'er watched as the compass needle continued to point in the right direction.

"Oh~"

She made a clicking sound of amazement, not without a hint of mockery.

Fang Jie saw it too, and his face darkened. This wasn't right.

In short, in the face of being caught off guard and rushing headlong into Suiyuan, Huo Huo passed by and made his move.

Grab it!

Huo Huo's clothes are also predominantly turquoise, with gold and bronze accents and dark red embellishments. They feature numerous paper doll and talisman elements, cloud patterns, ruyi patterns, and meander patterns, and a sachet hangs from her waist.

Fang Jie watched as a small paper figure with a rather sinister expression resisted his capture, almost escaping. He clicked his tongue in amazement...
