An Eldritch Donkey Spirit Lands in Europe

Upon arriving inside the base, a place inaccessible to outsiders, Skyfire landed on a table by a floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down at the dazzling cityscape below. As if reminiscing about something, he let out a soft sigh.

"Well!"

"Skyfire, have you decided to trust them?"

Another Gray Serpent clone slowly approached, bowed, and asked with a question in its voice.

Skyfire remained silent for a long time, then said wistfully:

"Gray Serpent, do you know? Among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, Hua's martial arts, knowledge, and strategy are all average. She has no outstanding strengths and is just like an ordinary person lost in the crowd. But she was entrusted with the crucial Seed of Civilization Project by Dr. Mei."

Gray Serpent listened intently to every word, not daring to disturb Skyfire's memories and emotions in the slightest.

Seeing that Skyfire remained silent for a while, he continued:

"Even Kevin wavered and hesitated about the Stigmata Project. But Hua is different. I can't imagine what she has endured, yet she has persevered in her mission to this day and continues to do so. This prosperous land of Shenzhou is her answer to us, undoubtedly a perfect score."

"Fifty thousand years ago, we were all losers. But fifty thousand years later, Hua is the most outstanding Flame-Chasers. Kevin can't compare to her, and none of us can compare to her."

The Gray Serpent's body trembled, and it hurriedly spoke:

"Lord Skyfire, the Venerable Lord has also been insisting on this, how can you say that?"

"Gray Serpent, I believe that even if Kevin were here, he would say the same thing."

"Skyfire, is this why you... approve of this Quasi-Herrscher? You know perfectly well that things aren't that simple!"

The Gray Serpent recalled some history.

Skyfire glanced at him indifferently, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said:

"Kevin made mistakes in the Previous Civilization and paid an unbearable price. He was determined not to repeat them, but once again paid a heavy price. During those confusing and painful years, it was Elysia gave him new answers."

Because of showing mercy to the Herrscher of Death displayed humanity, a city was swallowed up by death.

Because he no longer held any hope for the Herrscher, Sakura and Rin died before his eyes.

In the end, it was Elysia stepped forward and used her own life to reunite the shattered Flame-Chasers, giving Kevin an answer— Herrscher can have humanity, and if not, then the flawless fairy lady will give them that possibility!

Gray Serpent knew a little about this history, but he was not a major participant and could not recount it with the same equal and commemorative attitude as Skyfire.

Hearing Skyfire's words, Gray Serpent felt only heaviness and respect.

"Perhaps it's a side effect of being reborn, but I'm being a bit sentimental tonight. Anyway, Hua trusted them, so I trust them too. I will keep watching until they turn their knives on humanity, and hopefully they won't let Hua down."

"Yes, Gray Serpent understands."

"Also, before that happened, they were Hua's friends, which means they are our friends. In the future, let's help each other out whenever we can; this is the small way we can give back to Hua."

"Yes!"

Skyfire concluded his attitude towards Ji Lin, and even towards Hua, with this nostalgic and sentimental gesture.

Clearly, the Gray Serpent had no objections.

The repair experiment went smoothly.

Jackal had already thoroughly grasped the key technical principles. Without redesigning or upgrading, he could easily handle a simple task like replacing a battery.

Then, the Book of Cang Xuan, which had been carried to the reception room in a daze, was grabbed forcefully by Ji Lin.

"Xiaoxuan! You're finally awake! I've missed you so much, waaaaah!"

"Ji... Ji Lin? Weren't you dead? No, how come there's another one here?"

"Xiaoxuan! Xiaoxuan! Waaaaah!"

"Don't cry, what happened? Can someone explain this to me first?"

"Waaaaah!"

"Speaking of which, what about Crimson Kite? Is that blockhead alright? I hope she's not gone again when I wake up?"

Book of Cang Xuan tried desperately to break free from Ji Lin's hands, but the difference in strength was too great, and she could only let Ji Lin rub her face hard.

"I'm feeling a bit upset, please calm down, your tears have soaked your hair..."

"Saliva, saliva splashed on me too..."

"No snot! Only this, don't come any closer!"

Smack!!!

The slap was quite loud, and it slapped Ji Lin's face open, leaving a clear little handprint.

The wailing stopped abruptly.

Ji Lin was stunned for a long time before turning her head. Then A-Lin also came over, and the two of them stared at Book of Cang Xuan, who was fixing his hair and clothes, with teary eyes.

Book of Cang Xuan had a dark expression.

"So, explain everything clearly before you start crying!!!"

Chapter 137 The Unspeakable Donkey Spirit Lands in Europe

It was still in the reception room of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals Company.

Gray Serpent brought over a small tea set and a small steel fork for piercing fruit and desserts, which were originally prepared specifically for Skyfire.

Only then was Book of Cang Xuan able to drink tea and eat snacks while listening to Ji Lin and A-Lin recount the current situation and Fu Hua's experiences.

Regarding Fu Hua's experiences, only the information she herself has revealed is available; Ji Lin cannot say more.

However, this is enough for the Book of Cang Xuan to understand the basic situation.

"Sigh, I had long predicted that after falling into slumber, the immortal would most likely make a mess of his life. That blockhead, he was the best in terms of stubbornness and naivety, and sure enough, he turned out like this."

Book of Cang Xuan sighed and shook his head, looking as if he had expected this headache.

Before the system crashed, this was the situation she feared most, so when she sensed the battery was running low, she began to make various preparations, such as adjusting the security and living facilities of Great Void Mountain, and cultivating some forces that could take care of Fu Hua, etc.

However, those plans that could last for a hundred or two hundred years could not withstand the passage of even longer periods of time.

"Xiaoxuan, try to look on the bright side. At least Crimson Kite is still alive! Then she found us, and we found you. Now we're reunited, aren't we? Come on, let's go find Crimson Kite. She'll be so happy!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Sister is right!"

Ji Lin and A-Lin, with matching optimistic smiles, excitedly offered their suggestions.

But Book of Cang Xuan showed no sign of urgency; she simply sipped her tea calmly and said:

"No rush, let me slow down a bit. Speaking of which, you two are reincarnated from five thousand years ago, and you've even developed a split personality, right?"

"What do you mean by 'reincarnation' or 'schizophrenia'? You should say that the heroic spirit is immortal, and the king has returned to protect the righteous path of humanity!"

"Sister is right!"

Ji Lin and A-Lin both pouted, revealing their dissatisfaction, and eagerly tried to defend themselves.

Book of Cang Xuan sat calmly on the small blanket, took another sip of tea, and slowly said:

"It doesn't matter, there's not much difference. Anyway, I'm still quite happy to see you two again."

"Wow, you don't look happy at all! And we've traveled all over Shenzhou to treat you!"

"That's right!"

The Book of Cang Xuan made no comment on the two's dissatisfaction. She simply turned to look at the Gray Serpent guarding her side, sighed, and said:

"So that's where the problem lies. Who are you people who can repair Armed Doll?"

"We are the World Serpent, serving Lord Kevin and the Stigmata Project."

The Gray Serpent honestly provided the answer.

The people in front of me are all Hua's acquaintances, that is, Flame-Chasers's camp.

Skyfire has already stated World Serpent's attitude and stance on this matter.

Therefore, the Gray Serpent had nothing to hide.

Book of Cang Xuan contracted.

"Kevin? Is it Lord Kevin?"

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu created her. As members of the Fire Moth and two of the executors of the Seed of Civilization Project, the knowledge that Book of Cang Xuan naturally included a lot of information from the pre-era era was given to it.

The Gray Serpent nodded slightly.

"It is indeed that sir."

"I understand now. I've heard from the two masters that they are advancing the Seed of Civilization Project with the immortals in Shenzhou, while Lord Kevin and Lord Su are carrying out other projects. Their goals are the same, but they are independent of each other. —Excuse me, on behalf of the two masters and my immortal, I sincerely wish Lord Kevin all the best!"

Book of Cang Xuan bowed deeply, expressing his respect in accordance with the etiquette of ancient Shenzhou.

The Gray Serpent's mask remained cold, but his mood suddenly improved.

Fifty thousand years later, colleagues from the previous era greet each other.

If Lord Kevin himself were here, he would be pleased with this, wouldn't he?

"On behalf of Kevin, Su, and myself, I wish Hua good health. Also, Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu are both well; they have fulfilled their mission and lived up to the trust placed in them by their compatriots."

Skyfire gracefully landed on the table, his expression aloof, but his words carried a hint of gentleness.

Book of Cang Xuan paused for a moment, looked up, somewhat puzzled by its kind before it, and then said with a hint of restraint:

"And you are?"

"I am Skyfire, Armed Doll born from Previous Civilization. Unlike you, I am a combatant. I think the information left by Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu should have mentioned me as well."

"Skyfire... Skyfire... The strongest puppet that survived the sinking of the Mu Continent? The one who fought alongside Flame-Chasers to the very last moment, and even faced the Finality, Lord Skyfire? But I remember you weren't a male puppet?"

"Fifty thousand years have passed, and so many things have changed, including me."

Skyfire spoke casually as he sat down on the small chair that Gray Serpent had laid out.

Book of Cang Xuan blinked, as if he understood something.

"Indeed, even I, born in this era, have aged and Erosion, so Lord Skyfire naturally needs to be adjusted and updated as well. In any case, it is an honor for the Book of Cang Xuan to meet you."

Ti said, "No need to be polite. We are all fellow travelers of Flame-Chasers. We should each do our own job. There is no distinction between high and low. Besides, I have been waiting for more than two thousand years and have just been released. If I had always been here, perhaps Hua would not have had to work so hard."

"What are you saying? Everyone from the previous era has their own mission. The immortal—that was her own choice, and she has no one to blame but herself. In short, as expected of Skyfire, you have extraordinary bearing, and I admire Xiaoxuan."

Book of Cang Xuan complimented with a smile.

She understood how great and difficult the goal of overcoming the Honkai and continuing civilization was; simply sticking to one's own path was already extremely difficult.

Neither the sacrifices of Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, nor Fu Hua's tragic experiences, can be blamed on her other colleagues.

The matter is already settled, and at this moment, being able to convey greetings and blessings to each other is already incredibly precious.

With the Book of Cang Xuan's deliberate attempt to be friendly, the atmosphere became quite harmonious. The Book of Cang Xuan recounted some memories of Fu Hua, Cang Xuan, and Dan Zhu, Skyfire listened quietly, a faint smile gradually appearing on her small face.

Until Ji Lin and A-Lin finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Xiaoxuan, we can talk about these things later! Let's hurry and find Crimson Kite!"

"Okay, let's go find Crimson Kite, Xiaoxuan!"

"I told you there's no rush. She doesn't remember me anyway, so it doesn't matter to her whether it's sooner or later."

Book of Cang Xuan rolled his eyes.

Then, amidst the bewildered expressions of Ji Lin and A-Lin, Book of Cang Xuan stroked her chin thoughtfully and said:

"You can't get anywhere without money at any time. Look at the city lights outside the window, it must be the age of technology now. That blockhead must have squandered all the business he built back then. I need to make a quick buck first!"

"Huh?" ×2

"Let's go back to Great Void Mountain first. I have buried some ceramic and antique artifacts throughout the ages. As the saying goes, antiques are valuable in prosperous times. If we dig them up now, they should be quite valuable. With the start-up capital, we can set up some businesses, recruit some people, and then go find that blockhead after everything is in place."

"Huh!?" ×2

Both of them were stunned by this clear and unconventional line of thought.

The same applies to Ji Lin.

Having finally woken up, the first thing he did was make money. What kind of manager is this Great Void Mountain? But thinking about it, it seems normal. After all, he is the successor of Cang Xuan. Without this awareness of making money, where would Fu Hua have gotten her food, clothing, and other necessities all those years?

Skyfire frowned slightly, as if following the train of thought of the Book of Cang Xuan, and asked:

Selling antiques? A lot of them?
