March 7th: Since When Was Lin Shuang Your Wife?!
After all, that's where the Astral Express Crew first met Tingyun in the original storyline.
So as soon as Lin Shuang and Tingyun met, they reached out and touched each other's bodies.
One concern was for safety, and the other was to check for signs of being possessed by Heliobus.
Lin Shuang is now considered half a Heliobus. Even with her abilities fully unleashed, while she may not be incredibly powerful, she still possesses the ability to sense Heliobus.
Therefore, Lin Shuang was relieved after confirming that there were no signs of Heliobus parasitizing Tingyun's body.
Aside from the Minghuo Merchant Guild, those trapped elsewhere also received timely assistance after Bella joined the rescue effort.
Casualties are inevitable, but at least the survivors can continue to live.
Some goods may inevitably be damaged, and that's something that can't be helped.
Even after Lin Shuang leads the team to take everyone out of Cloudford, the Port will still have to be temporarily closed.
There's nothing we can do; there are just too many bad ones.
Once the Xianzhou sends people to clean up and take stock of the damage, all the equipment inside will be fully repaired.
It would be fine on a normal day.
But now...
Lin Shuang still remembers that the furnaces in the Crafting Division were about to explode, and the same thing happened in the Alchemy Commission.
The severe damage to these two departments will undoubtedly hinder Luofu's recovery.
Beyond the Cloudford--
Lin Shuang led Bella along the way, and they finally managed to clear a path through Cloudford.
Things were much better after we got out. We just needed to ask the Sky-Faring Commission to send a larger Starskiff to pick everyone up.
When the Starskiff of the Sky-Faring Commission arrives.
According to that person from the Sky-Faring Commission, the unrest on the Xianzhou has temporarily subsided.
After all, the Stellaron had just erupted, and although Jianmu seemed to be showing signs of recovery.
But it has not fully recovered.
The first wave of impact has ended, and those who haven't yet transformed into Scythe of Annihilation are likely to be safe for the time being.
It's clear that the Xianzhou is indeed fast in terms of reaction speed.
The Cavern where the main residential areas were located immediately dispatched a large number of Cloud Knights to maintain Order.
Once the Stellaron stabilized, the Xianzhou also immediately settled down temporarily.
After all, they are all Long-Life Species who have seen great things.
Of course, when Jianmu fully recovers, it will definitely cause widespread unrest again.
However, because of Lin Shuang's presence, the Xianzhou now knows that the enemy's target is likely Jianmu.
I wonder if the Jianmu will actually grow this time.
It's hard to say.
But Lin Shuang wouldn't underestimate Phantylia.
After all, her opponent was known for his cunning and trickery; losing most of his strength didn't stop her from still being quick-witted.
The current Phantylia may not wait until a few days later for Jianmu to fully recover.
It's unclear how Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan will respond.
They should have already sent people to guard the area from Scalegorge Waterscape, right?
Lin Shuang shook her head, watching as all the rescued people boarded the Starskiff.
Only Huohuo and Tingyun remained by Lin Shuang's side.
The main reason is that there's also a small Starskiff borrowed from the Sky-Searching Sky-Faring Commission there, and someone needs to drive it back.
Tingyun wanted to spend more time with Lin Shuang, and have a meal and rest together after returning home.
As for Huohuo, it's simpler. Since she's going back anyway, it's definitely better for her to stay with Lin Shuang, who is familiar with her.
Just then, a phone call from General Jing Yuan broke the tranquility of the place.
"Since it was the General who called, this young lady and Huohuo should go to the Starskiff to avoid him for a while."
Tingyun glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was General Jing Yuan's name.
He quickly beckoned to Huohuo and led her towards the moored Starskiff.
To give Lin Shuang some private space.
Seeing this, Lin Shuang pressed the answer button, and then Jing Yuan's full-body projection appeared in front of her.
Judging from the background around Jing Yuan, they should be at the Divination Department.
"Young Friend Lin, it's been a while. How have you been?"
Jing Yuan maintained his usual smile, exuding a calm and collected demeanor, as if nothing could change his expression.
"Thank you for your concern, General. I've been doing well lately. But is there something you need from me now? The internal affairs of the Xianzhou must be quite busy right now."
"Hahaha--that's a little bit, but it's alright, after all, we already know who the enemy is and what their purpose is."
Even though the Jianmu hadn't started growing yet, considering Phantylia injury, Jing Yuan guessed that the other party had probably set their sights on the Jianmu.
One is to use Abundance power to build a physical body for himself, to make up for the losses from his previous serious injuries.
Secondly, the Jianmu was used to revive the Xianzhou Luofu, turning it into a dead land filled with demonic shadows.
It's not hard to guess.
There's even a possibility that they might target Jing Yuan and Lin Shuang, intending to take their lives.
In Luofu, there are only so many people who would be of interest to an Emanator.
"To be so relaxed even after knowing the truth, General, you certainly have a lot of composure."
"You jest. The Xianzhou was shaken, and as its Xianzhou, I naturally had to maintain morale. I came here to confirm your safety, young friend. I don't know where Phantylia is hiding now, so please be careful while you're out there alone."
"Thank you for your concern, General. I will be careful."
"You're too kind, young friend. If you have time later, you're welcome to visit the Divination Department for a chat. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter."
"..."
Lin Shuang looked at Jing Yuan in front of her with a subtle expression.
That's quite a blunt question.
What opinion could I possibly have? Do you think I could actually pinpoint Phantylia's location?
Oh well, I might as well go. I can ask Jing Yuan what his plans are.
"I understand, I'll go later."
At the same time.
Just as Lin Shuang was acting at Cloudford--
On the Star Rail Express, far above the Jarilo-VI.
Himeko, Hoshi, and the others gathered around the Conductor Paimon.
We are currently summarizing this Trailblaze effort and have already planned to head to the next destination.
"Whoosh—let's go! Next stop, Penacony!!"
March 7th raised his hand vigorously, excitedly calling out Penacony's name.
If Lin Shuang hadn't reminded him of March 7th in a text message...
On March 7th, they made a special trip to find Himeko, unaware that the Star Rail Express had received Invitation from Penacony.
The next stop is Penacony's Charmony Festival.
"Yay! Let's go find Lin Shuang to play!"
March 7th also raised her hands and swayed them from side to side, just like a normal person.
Himeko covered her mouth and chuckled softly:
"Although Little March, Xing, Penacony's trip was ostensibly a vacation, this Charmony Festival may not be as simple as it appears on the surface."
While on the Train, Himeko began to decipher the Ciphertext in the Invitation.
The results were quite interesting, and with the Family extending numerous invitations, this Charmony Festival was unlikely to be peaceful.
"Huh?! No way?! Are we going to be hunted down by the locals again?"
Volume 1: Chapter 236 March 7th: When did Lin Shuang become your wife?!
In response to March 7th's exclamation, Paimon coughed twice, trying to steer the conversation back on track.
"Ahem—alright, March 7th passengers, from now on, it's up to this Conductor..."
However, just as Paimon was about to announce her next destination...
A 3D projection was suddenly displayed from the equipment on the Train.
It formed the shape of Kafka.
Kafka stood gracefully, holding her umbrella, her calm voice echoing in the carriage:
"Long time no see, everyone on the Star Rail Express. I'm Kafka-- "
Setting aside her umbrella, Kafka, in the form of an image, walks through the Train, while Himeko and Welt warily observe the uninvited guest.
Kafka calmly explained the current predicament of the Xianzhou to the passengers of the Star Rail Express.
Of course, compared to the original Script, the current situation of the Xianzhou is much better.
After all, Phantylia's strength was greatly reduced after Lin Shuang intervened.
But I still have to take the Star Rail Express.
Because of Dan Heng.
The Scalegorge Waterscape is a special place; in the story, Dan Heng has to use the power of the Dragon Lord to divide the sea.
How can the sea be divided if the Train doesn't pull Dan Heng across?
Moreover, the matter of the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord has been a ticking time bomb if left unresolved; there must be an explanation eventually.
However, this is something that can't be said outright.
Kafka will only emphasize the Stellaron crisis on the Xianzhou.
Furthermore, if the Star Rail Express doesn't go, the Xianzhou Luofu will suffer a severe blow and heavy losses.
Wait until Kafka finished speaking and left.
The Astral Express Crew fell into deep thought.
"Little March, speaking of which, didn't Lin Shuang say she was quite familiar with Xianzhou Luofu? Why don't we ask her how Luofu is doing?"
The first person that came to Himeko's mind was Lin Shuang.
Although Lin Shuang lived on Azur Star when they met.
But she remembered that Lin Shuang had mentioned that she also had permanent residency rights in Luofu.
Moreover, he is acquainted with many people in Luofu.
Now is a good time to use Lin Shuang to check on Luofu's situation.
On March 7th, a sudden inspiration struck her. After Himeko's reminder, she remembered what Lin Shuang had once said.
So he quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Shuang:
[March 7th: Lin Shuang! Lin Shuang! Are you there? Are you there? -- It's extremely urgent!]
[March 7th: [Anxious][Anxious][Anxious]]
