Stelle: Kafka! What's Your Relationship with Lin Shuang?! / Phantylia: Let Me See Who's Ruining My Plans This Time!

This thing can move??

Volume 1: Chapter 252 Star: Kafka! What's your relationship with Lin Shuang?!

Then, in front of the two of them.

Eight mechanical claws suddenly appeared below the button, much to Lin Shuang's puzzled expression.

It shot into the sky from Lin Shuang's hand with incredible speed and flew into the sea.

Then--

And that was it.

It can crawl fast on land with eight claws, but how can this thing move in water?

It's already an amazing result that it managed to avoid being swept away by the underwater currents.

"... Are you crazy?!"

Lin Shuang couldn't help herself; she felt ashamed that she had actually had a moment of expectation.

That's the kind of thing that guy who likes to mess around with Sparkle would do.

"Pfft..."

Even Danshu covered his mouth and laughed after seeing this scene.

She stepped forward, and the water-avoiding space separated by the jade talisman moved forward with her.

The little toy that crawled out of the water landed on the ground with a thud.

Danshu ignored it for the moment and came to Lin Shuang:

"As expected... young friend, you are different from her. Fortunately, at the very end, I was able to see your face. You are truly a beauty as lovely as the moon."

Danshu smiled and moved closer to Lin Shuang, her bright eyes revealing her curiosity and focus.

He carefully examined Lin Shuang's appearance.

"It's a pity... after so many years, I can hardly remember what Lian Yufei looks like anymore."

You're probably wondering why I wanted you to come along.

As Danshu spoke, her tone became increasingly gentle.

"Actually, all I wanted was for you to be the first person I saw after regaining my sight."

"Go back, young friend. Hand over all the evidence you have to Jing Yuan. Don't let me implicate you."

Danshu withdrew from Lin Shuang's side and returned.

She glanced at the small, seemingly broken object on the ground but paid it no mind.

Then it walked straight towards the root system of the Jianmu, seemingly preparing to unleash its power.

But just then...

The button swung its claw, flipped itself up, and then the beeping sound rang out again.

Call out--

A beam of light suddenly erupted, catching both Danshu and Lin Shuang completely off guard!

The beam of light entered the water at an unusual angle and then struck the distant Stellaron with pinpoint accuracy.

Thump!

Like a heart pounding, Lin Shuang seemed to hallucinate that pounding sound.

Then, the Stellaron, which had been steadily releasing its power, suddenly went out of control.

If before it was like a valve being slowly opened, now it's like a flood bursting its banks.

A terrifying power poured out, and due to the previous arrangements, most of the power surged into the Jianmu.

The surging force created huge waves, one after another crashing against the force that separated the water curtain.

Rumble--

A terrifying roar, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting apart, rang out right in front of them.

The roar alone was like a bomb falling into the water, almost blowing away all the seawater around the Jianmu.

The root system of the Jianmu, which already possessed the Dragon Form, began to grow uncontrollably.

Layer upon layer of roots proliferated wildly, uncontrollably enveloping the Stellaron, layer upon layer, until they completely swallowed the Stellaron into the root system of the Jianmu.

Meanwhile--

Inside the Divination Department.

With her makeup removed and her hands bound, Kafka was imprisoned in mid-air by the power of the Grand Void Astral Compass.

In front of Kafka were the three members of the Astral Express Crew who were asking her questions.

As for Fu Xuan, he stood aside with a rather unpleasant expression, staring at Kafka.

The Stellaron on the Xianzhou erupted, and the Stellaron Hunter appeared there at just the right moment.

Even though both Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan believed that Phantylia was more likely the culprit.

But it's quite suspicious that you, Stellaron Hunter, came to Luofu at this time.

Who knows if the Stellaron Hunter are cooperating with Phantylia, or if they're just here to fish in troubled waters?

So Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan still managed to capture them.

However, through the deduction of the Grand Void Astral Compass, Fu Xuan obtained an unexpected result.

Meanwhile, Kafka...

Floating in mid-air, looking down at the star standing in front of her, her smile, now without makeup, was softer and sweeter.

"What is Lin Shuang's relationship with you? Why was she there at that time?"

After asking many questions about the Aeon, Xing suddenly brought up Lin Shuang.

In his last fragmented Remembrance, there was Kafka, and there was Lin Shuang.

She wanted to know the relationship between Lin Shuang and Kafka, and also whether they had ever had any connection.

When faced with Xingdui's question, Kafka only gave an ambiguous smile.

Then he suddenly turned his head and glanced in the direction of Jianmu.

"... Wait a moment, it should be about time."

"...?"

Xing tilted her head in confusion, while Fu Xuan was a little further away, sensed something was wrong.

"What time is it around—what?!"

Before Fu Xuan could finish his question, suddenly—

The tremor emanated from the entire Xianzhou and was transmitted to everyone's feet.

Rumble--

Accompanied by a dull yet enormous roar, the Jianmu in the distance, which had long been 'dead,' suddenly began to grow extremely violently!

"Okay, it's starting."

Kafka smiled and turned to look. The majestic Jianmu began to stretch its roots to its fullest extent, and its already enormous trunk began to expand wildly towards the sky.

One branch after another began to spread out from the trunk.

Golden leaves flutter in the wind, and from a distance, they look like golden flames swaying on the branches.

Countless runes fell from the sky all around, like a divine miracle.

Terrifying roots pierced through the Scalegorge Waterscape, carrying Power of Abundance, even penetrating the barriers between the Cavern and spreading all the way to many nearby Cavern!

And what followed was the raging wind that submerged the entire Luofu!

The howling wind swept through the Grand Void Astral Compass, bringing with it the corrosive power of Abundance divine energy.

While everyone's eyes were on the Jianmu, Kafka broke free from the Grand Void Astral Compass's restraints.

Blade descended like a cavalryman from the sky, blocking Kafka's path, his sword pointed at Fu Xuan and Xing.

Fu Xuan was about to manipulate the Grand Void Astral Compass to capture people again, Jing Yuan's communication projection suddenly came in.

"Alright, Fu Qing, let them go. Right now... we have more important things to focus on."

Jing Yuan spoke up to stop Fu Xuan's actions, his gaze lingering on Ren for a moment before meeting Kafka's eyes.

Neither of them intended to speak. Kafka turned and beckoned to Blade:

"Let's go, we still have other places to go."

Kafka then calmly approached the edge of the Grand Void Astral Compass and leaped down. Blade, on the other hand, turned and quickly left.

"General, what does this mean?"

"Just now, Lin Shuang lost contact, and her last signal was in Scalegorge Waterscape."

The general lowered his head slightly, seemingly looking through the walls and spatial barriers at the boundless ocean.

"Lin Shuang, what exactly did you do in the Scalegorge Waterscape?"

Volume 1: Chapter 253 Phantylia: Let me see who's ruining my plans this time!

What did Lin Shuang do there? What happened in Scalegorge Waterscape?

How exactly did the Stellaron bypass all of the Xianzhou's monitoring methods and get sent into Jianmu?

Throughout the day, both Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan were completely baffled.

Monitoring the Jianmu is a very high priority in the Xianzhou.

In other words, with the Jianmu exploding today, it's not advisable for the Cloud Knights to approach.

Jing Yuan didn't believe that anyone could put the Stellaron inside without anyone noticing and then activate it.

Unless...

It is in the Scalegorge Waterscape it is relatively difficult to conduct official surveillance on the Xianzhou.

Prior to this, Jing Yuan had never doubted Scalegorge Waterscape's ideas.

Because there is a seal set up by the Dragon Lord there.

To put it bluntly, the Luofu Sushang doesn't even have Dragon Lord yet. How can they break the seal and send the item inside?

But now... Lin Shuang's signal has been lost on the other side of Scalegorge Waterscape.

Could the Sushang be behind this...?

Or perhaps it was the work of Phantylia?

"These are turbulent times..."

Jing Yuan sighed.

Lin Shuang is really something; she borrowed the documents one minute and then rushed off to the scene the next.

Are all young people these days so decisive and efficient?

Let's also consider the elderly person's ability to cope, as well as the organization's coordination capabilities.

"Fu Qing, take your men to the Alchemy Commission and the Crafting Division. They are closer to the Jianmu and need timely support. After that, we will meet up in Scalegorge Waterscape."

"I see."

Fu Xuan the mission. The Alchemy Commission and the Crafting Division were both important logistical departments of the Xianzhou, and both were in turmoil within a day.

Someone needs to step in and take charge, and stabilize the logistics department.

"And then there are the friends from the Star Rail Express..."

Jing Yuan then turned his gaze to the Astral Express Crew.

Ever since he learned from Lin Shuang that a former Vidyadhara Dragon Lord was hiding on the Star Rail Express.
