Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

Jing Liu calculates his age and realizes he's over 1,800 years old. That's not even considered old age; he's practically a living fossil!

Having been educated by the Dragon Masters for many years, she has mastered six or seven tenths of the Luofu medical techniques. She has seen many patients with demonic possession, but so far, she has no solution.

Only by severing all emotional ties and desires and forgetting the past can one alleviate the situation, but that is only a temporary solution.

"Miss Jingliu, do you know why Generals Feixiao and Huaiyan suddenly visited Luofu?"

"I don't know, but I suspect it's related to the mole within Luofu."

"No, it is only slightly related to me personally."

"Oh? Could it be that our benefactor has done something important again? Jingyuan trusts our benefactor so much, it must be something that benefits the Immortal Ship. Huaiyan is a Celestial Being, and Feixiao is a Fox Being... You specially sent these two to Luofu, could it be that our benefactor has something to gain from the Celestial Beings, the Fox Beings... etc."

Is this good for the Celestials and Fox-people?

Although this sword master was skilled in martial arts, he was not ignorant of political affairs. Otherwise, how could he have educated someone as insightful as Jing Yuan?

"The Demonic Body... Could it be that a solution has been found?!"

Her emotions fluctuated intensely for a moment. Emiya stared at her intently. The people of the Immortal Ship were long-lived and had traveled through the starry sea. The platform they occupied was much higher than that of ordinary planetary people. In addition, they had lived long enough and accumulated enough experience. There were many people like Jingliu who became more and more monstrous with age. Moreover... Jingliu was the former leader of the Cloud Riders of Luofu.

She is a first-rate talent in martial arts, politics, and strategy. When Emiya provides her with a few clues, she can quickly draw conclusions... If the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds had not encountered misfortune back then, the name of the Great Victory Immortal Ship would probably still be on Luofu today...

"Would Miss Jingliu be willing to go to the Shence Palace and meet with Jingyuan?"

"...That's fine."

After a brief silence, the swordswoman suddenly laughed for the first time.

"For the first time, I felt that living a long life was actually a good thing."

“Previously, I never thought that living for over a thousand years was something to be happy about.”

"...Kyoryu-neechan, as long as you live, good things will definitely happen."

Hearing Bai Lu say this, Jing Liu's face showed some sorrow. She looked at Bai Lu and recalled Bai Heng's past deeds. Although this fox-woman aviator was a legendary star charioteer, the star chariots she piloted rarely returned to port safely. They mostly crashed or crashed directly into the enemy's main force...

"Bai Heng... promise me you'll do a good job as a Dragon Maiden healer, a promising profession. Don't squander the Star Chariot anymore. You are now a Visionary, and you will live longer than me. Given the sins you committed in the past, the Star Chariot on Luofu is probably not enough for you to squander alone."

"It's late, I'm going to launch my star raft tonight! Do you know how lonely I've been for not launching a star raft for hundreds of years?!"

Upon hearing this, even the little white-haired girl beside her couldn't help but show a hint of eagerness on her face. Mr. Emiya narrowed his eyes, then quickly pulled out his phone and sent a message to someone.

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Someone said she hasn't piloted a starship in seven hundred years, she's going to go all out tonight at 0.8.]

[Real-name online warning: Stop her! When she's not on her star raft, she's a clever fox, but once she starts, even the people of the Taibu Si can't predict where she'll fly to or what trouble she'll cause.]

[I really know pole vaulting: But can you stop your master... By the way, Bai Lu now has two people, so they need to operate two ships.]

[Online with real name: What exactly did you do?! My dear brother, are you trying to get me to report to the Ten Kings' Division ahead of schedule?]

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: What a coincidence, your master is also planning to report to the Prison of Imprisonment. Maybe you two can say hello then.]

The reunion of master and disciple after seven hundred years

Going to jail together?

Caw! I don't want to see! I don't want to see it!

[Jing Yuan's emotional value +105]

It's over 100!

Lao Jing, you've broken down!!!

Chapter 107: Jing Yuan: If this continues, I really will have to write a letter to all nations.

"For the first time, I felt that becoming blind by wearing an eye patch was a good thing."

"I don't have to see your incredibly pathetic expression right now..."

Hearing Jing Liu's words, Jing Yuan couldn't help but rub his nose, responding with a wry smile.

"Master, after seven hundred years, do you still dislike me so much?"

"How do you expect me to treat you, 'General with Blind Eyes'? You only know the middle way and weighing options. Luofu has been in your hands for seven hundred years with little progress... The Chiming Clan has kept you in the dark for hundreds of years. Jingyuan, how much do you really know about the Dragon Transformation Technique?"

"The Vidyadhara Clan... the wondrous method of transforming into a dragon?"

Jingyuan was somewhat confused by this matter, but he was a quick-witted person after all. Upon hearing Jingliu's information, he immediately guessed some possibilities.

"So that's how it is, the Dragon Transformation Technique... The Vidyadhara Clan has their eye on this."

"I wondered why Master Yunhua insisted on injecting Danheng with the Dream of the Past. It turns out it was for those things in Danfeng's memories."

"So you knew nothing about it, Jingyuan... You've been far too lax in your control over Luofu."

"Perhaps I have been complacent. I should have thought of it earlier... The Medicine King's Secret Sect suddenly rose up and hid themselves very well. I have not yet caught them red-handed. Now, the Great Lord of Annihilation has infiltrated Luofu. He must have something to ask for... Furthermore, there is the possibility that Bu Liren's spies are also in Luofu, as my brother mentioned earlier... I did not suspect the Chiming Clan before, but now I think that the Chiming Clan does have this ability."

"However, I don't understand why the Vidyadhara Clan, a powerful clan of the Immortal Ships, would ally with an external enemy to overthrow Luofu?"

"Someone wants to turn the tide and save the collapsing edifice, while also putting on a show for the Alliance that the Dragon Transformation Technique can save the dead Immortal Ship people, especially... if this person is a crucial figure within the Immortal Ship."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly couldn't help but chuckle.

"So that's how it is. They first sent in an external enemy to invade, causing my death. When the Emperor Bow realized this and arrived at Luofu, they used the Dragon Transformation Technique in front of the Emperor Bow to reincarnate me as a Chiming Dragon. Firstly, I had just been reincarnated at that time and would certainly have no memory. Secondly, I, Jingyuan, had indeed rendered meritorious service in guarding Luofu and died on the battlefield. After my reincarnation, all my merits were attributed to the Chiming Dragon Clan."

"They've schemed and plotted, treating me, Jing Yuan, like a fat pig. Not only in this life, but they've even planned out my next life so clearly."

Thinking of this, he even laughed in anger. He believed that he had been extremely kind to the Chiming Clan regarding the past events of Yunhua. You should know that the Past Dream Needle was something that was prohibited in the Alliance. Danheng's predecessor was Yinyue, a sinner who had committed the Ten Evils. If the past events of Yunhua had been exposed, how could he have had any chance of survival?

To protect Yunhua and Danzhu, he took the initiative, classifying the incident as a minor accident and banishing the two from Luofu, thus saving the lives of the master and disciple.

Unexpectedly, the Ming clan turned around and refused to appreciate his kindness. Now they even intend to use his head as a means to advance their own careers.

Even with Jing Yuan's temperament, a surge of anger couldn't help but well up within him.

I consider you my comrades who show leniency beyond the law.

You think I'm some kind of clueless, stupid black slave, right?

“My dear brother, why didn’t you tell me this before?”

"I'm afraid you'll make too many enemies by declaring war all at once."

Emiya rolled his eyes and blurted it all out. How was he supposed to get any rewards from this guy afterward?

Moreover, it includes Bu Liren, Fengrao Pharmacist, Suiyang, the Chiming Clan, Star Core Hunter, the Annihilation Lord, and the Medicine King's Secret Transmission...

After counting all these, Jing Yuan, you might as well just write a declaration of war against all nations.

I, Luofu, declare war on the Suiyang Clan, on the Buliren Clan, on the Chiming Clan, and on the Jinmie Legion…

“When have I, Jingyuan, ever been so reckless? However, you are right, it’s not appropriate to make too many enemies at this time of year…”

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan was both amused and exasperated. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't possibly declare war on so many forces at once.

but,

To be honest, I still feel a bit resentful.

then,

He spoke to Emiya again,

"However, I am also a little unable to swallow this insult... As for Chiming, I need to make some arrangements in advance. Do you have any recommendations for a target?"

"Then, let's go with Long Shi Tao Ran."

"Okay, then we'll start with this person."

After finishing discussing the affairs of the Chiming clan, Jing Yuan looked at the two Bai Lu again. These two Bai Lu were different from the Xiaolongnu he usually saw. The younger one had a cat-like face and although she looked like Bai Lu, she did not have the cheerful and friendly demeanor that Bai Lu usually had. The latter, on the other hand, had changed completely from Xiaolongnu, but the smile on her face was exactly the same as that of the younger Bai Lu. However, she was more like the legendary fox-person flying warrior among the Five Heroes of the Clouds.

"Hey, did you miss me? Jingyuan."

"It's been so many years, but you're still as lively as ever, Sister Baiheng."

"You've become much more composed. Seven hundred years—it doesn't feel very real just from saying it."

"...It doesn't carry that weight when I say it, but when I close my eyes, it feels like it was just yesterday."

"If Brother Yingxing were also on the Immortal Ship, the five of us would be reunited. I heard that Danfeng is currently on the Starry Sky Train in the Star Harbor, so Danfeng would truly be my junior now."

"Didn't Brother Emiya mention it? Yingxing is here too. His Star Core Hunter is currently in Luofu, but he's no longer called Yingxing. Instead, he's a wanted criminal from the Interstellar Peace Company, using the alias Ren."

"That child actually became a wanted criminal?"

A slight worry appeared on Bai Heng's face. Among the Five Heroes of the Clouds, there was only one short-lived member, Ying Xing. Ying Xing had been studying in Zhu Ming since childhood, and it was at that time that Bai Heng met this genius craftsman's little brother. She had always treated Ying Xing as her real younger brother.

"Due to the curse of fleeting flesh and blood, Yingxing now also possesses the immortal body of demonic yin. However... after the chaos of drinking the moon back then, Yingxing was determined to die. I tried to give him a definite death with my sword, but unfortunately... I failed. So I repeatedly tortured and killed him, taught him swordsmanship, and made him hate me so that he could live on."

"...This is too cruel to that child, Sister Jingliu. Because of my matter, everyone has fallen apart. In that case, I am somewhat ashamed to face Brother Yingxing and Danfeng again."

“If you don’t see them, that would be truly cruel… Sister Bai Heng, seven hundred years ago… before the Battle of Shuhu, I buried a jar of wine, intending it as a celebratory drink to celebrate your nomination as the captain of the Tianbo Division. Unfortunately, after the Rebellion of Yinyue, there was nothing left to celebrate. Now that we have all gathered in Luofu by chance, if we don’t open that jar of old wine, who knows how many more years we will have to wait.”

"I wanted to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but it's nothing like the carefree days of my youth..."

Chapter 108: Ah Ren is about to drop a little pearl! (5/5)

[Professional Designated Driver: Bai... Heng!!!]

The next morning, Emiya finally saw the message on his phone from his old colleague who hadn't replied all night, and he was speechless.

[Emotional value from Blade +155]

Fine, I forgive you.

For the sake of being a former colleague.

[I can really pole vault: Surprised? Excited? Unexpected?]

[Professional designated drivers: There are five people, three costs, and she... is not one of them.]

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Stop reciting the lines, Danheng and Jingliu are both on the immortal boat now.]

[Professional designated driver: Time, location, I can't wait!]

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Bai Heng is going to race on the Star Chariot tomorrow, above the Star Chariot sea.]

[Professional chauffeur: ...Don't let her drive that thing!]

Damn it, this group of people are all demonic beings. They've forgotten a lot of things, but they just can't forget that Bai Heng is a vehicle killer, right?

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Jingyuan invites you out for drinks.]

[Professional driver: No.]

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Bai Heng and Jing Liu will both be there.]

[Professional driver: ...I'm not going.]

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Danheng will be there too.]

[Professional driver: I'll go.]

"These five people from the Cloud Realm are so awkward," Mr. Emiya raised an eyebrow. "But if they weren't so awkward, how would he earn points and emotion points?"

Having dealt with A-Ren, Emiya scrolled through his phone and began checking on the situation with everyone else.

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Ah Xing, how did it go last night? What new tricks did your mom give you? (This target is not currently in the calling area)]

Not back yet?

Kafka, you wicked woman, you actually made my Xingbao stay out all night!

Put it in the account!

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Yingbao, Ah Ren is going to drop some little pearls tonight, do you want to watch the live stream?]

[Miss Firefly's Great Victory: Ah Ren... you actually cried? I can't believe it.]

[I'm really good at pole vaulting: Remember to check your phone then.]

[Miss Firefly's Great Victory: Mmm, curious cat head.jpg, but don't bully Blade too much, Shirou.]

So sweet! This sweet girl is just wonderful!

Chatting with Yingbao every day is what truly makes me feel like I'm in love.

What? I have another girlfriend?
