Honkai: Star Rail, Marry Acheron Upon Landing

Just tending to a tail, and Tingyun's reaction seemed more intense than Acheron's yesterday.

And perhaps due to differences in personality, Tingyun's reaction was clearly more seductive and alluring.

Fortunately, yesterday's training had greatly improved Lin Shuang's self-control; otherwise, she might not have been able to hold back.

With a slightly flushed face, Lin Shuang ran over, opened another bottle of Sulad, and chugged it down.

After finishing a bottle of Sulad.

Lin Shuang only belatedly realized how she was supposed to talk to Miss Tingyun when she came out later.

The atmosphere had been so ambiguous just now, and Tingyun had lost so much face under her own hands.

Would she use her fan to slap her a few times?

As for Tingyun.

After seeing Lin Shuang's footsteps leave the room, she pulled the towel hanging from her head and buried her face in the pillow, trying to escape reality.

Her exposed ears turned bright red, her whole body trembled, and she let out embarrassing whimpers.

"Waaah... This is too embarrassing..."

When had the ever-so-smooth Tingyun ever shown such a flustered side in front of an outsider?

"I was careless... How could Young Master's hands... how could they be so..."

Recalling the intense sensations that had surged like a tide just now, Tingyun couldn't help but repeatedly kick the blanket with her small feet.

She was clearly doubting her life a little.

Even now, Tingyun's tail felt tingly and weak, and her fluffy tail drooped, looking pitiful and cute.

"This humble one... what face will I have to see Young Master later..."

Volume 1: Chapter 29 What Did Tingyun the Little Fox Do Last Night?!

Although Tingyun was ashamed and angry.

She still had a sliver of rationality. It had been almost an hour since she came to find Lin Shuang.

If she took another bath, it would take too long.

So, even though Tingyun's legs were still a bit weak and her tail felt tingly and unable to recover.

She just mirrored herself and wiped the sweat off her body.

Ensuring that she suppressed those strange emotions as much as possible with her professional demeanor.

After carefully smelling herself to make sure there was no odor, she pushed the door open and walked out.

But as soon as she opened the door, Tingyun saw Lin Shuang sitting on the sofa, pretending to stroke something in the air with her hands.

That movement was very much like reminiscing about the feel of her own tail.

Tingyun, already restless from what had just happened, suddenly flushed red again.

"Young Master—"

She called out to Lin Shuang, sounding like a complaint and like a spoiled child.

Being called so softly and sweetly suddenly gave Lin Shuang goosebumps.

She looked up and saw Tingyun leaning against the doorframe at some point, her cheeks flushed, looking both shy and angry, which was quite adorable.

"Cough..."

Lin Shuang coughed dryly and quickly stood up from the sofa, brazenly ignoring the recent awkwardness.

"Do you want to rest a bit longer?"

"No, no, let's go now."

Tingyun waved her hand, refusing the offer to rest further.

Staying in the same room with Lin Shuang any longer would be awkward even for her.

"...Alright then."

Lin Shuang looked at Tingyun, her face still red, her tail still drooping, her legs and ears still trembling slightly.

The aftereffects are quite strong, huh?

She actually wanted Miss Tingyun to rest a bit longer, but it seemed she wasn't willing.

Lin Shuang then left a message for Acheron.

And left with Miss Tingyun.

Walking beside Tingyun, she could see her slightly flushed neck and earlobes when she turned her head.

"Our Minghuo Merchant Group's station isn't far from here; we'll be there soon."

Opening her folding fan to half-cover her face and hide her shyness, Tingyun's voice was still soft and melodious, sounding exceptionally alluring as soon as she spoke.

"Ah, yes. Let's just consider it a stroll."

Lin Shuang felt as if she had done something to Tingyun as they walked side-by-side.

Especially when the two of them walked out of the hotel together, the receptionist's gaze towards Lin Shuang was a bit off.

After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the Xianzhou's encampment.

The architectural style of the settlement was distinctly Luofu style, making it quite noticeable.

Following Tingyun inside, they didn't see many people in the encampment; they must have been busy.

Finding a conference room, Tingyun made a call to Yukong of the Celestial Ship Division.

As soon as the communication connected.

A virtual projection of a Foxfolk appeared in the conference room.

It was Yukong, the leader of the Celestial Ship Division, whom Lin Shuang had encountered in the game before – a mature and steady lady.

Yukong, about to speak, suddenly her gaze shifted, as if noticing Tingyun's unease and the blush on her face.

However, despite her curiosity, she didn't speak directly. Instead, she quickly withdrew her gaze and proceeded to introduce herself to Lin Shuang.

"Hello, esteemed guest of Xianzhou. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Yukong, the current helm of the Celestial Ship Division."

Yukong gave a slight bow, which made Lin Shuang also become serious.

"It's my first time meeting you. My name is Lin Shuang, and I'm very happy to meet Lord Yukong of the Celestial Ship Division."

"Regarding this incident, on behalf of the Celestial Ship Division, I express my gratitude for your righteous assistance, Miss Lin. If you hadn't intervened, Tingyun might have met with misfortune."

"Lord Yukong, you are too kind."

"Miss Lin, there's no need to call me 'Lord.' Tingyun and I are close friends, and I personally am very grateful for your help."

Although she was only a four-star character in the game, in reality, Yukong was a powerful figure in the Luofu Xianzhou who held real authority.

Honestly, being treated with such courtesy by someone so beautiful and influential was quite pleasant.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Miss Yukong."

Seeing that Lin Shuang didn't refuse, Yukong's expression brightened slightly. Regardless of whether she was genuinely happy, her smile was certainly pleasing to behold.

"Hehe~ Miss Lin, you have such a good disposition. Even just for calling me Miss Yukong, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. As long as it's within our capabilities, the Celestial Ship Division will do its best to satisfy your requests."

Seeing this, Lin Shuang didn't immediately state her request.

Instead, she looked at the prompt given by the system:

[Target: Yukong]
[Affection: 60 (Friendly & Grateful)]
[Relationship: None]
['She is very grateful to you because of Tingyun's matter.']

Yukong's affection level had suddenly reached a relatively high point, thanks to Tingyun.

Lin Shuang had desires regarding Xianzhou, but most of them were things Xianzhou couldn't possibly provide.

So, it would be better to start with Yukong, try to establish friendly relations with those in Luofu, and not aim for anything too deep.

At the very least, having a friend relationship with each person would allow her to draw many times.

With this thought, Lin Shuang spoke:

"Personally, I don't have any particularly urgent needs. If Miss Yukong doesn't mind, let's just be good friends. If I ever go to Xianzhou Luofu in the future, it would be convenient if you could show me around and let me experience things."

Yukong covered her mouth and chuckled at this.

"Miss Lin, you ask for nothing in return. This puts us in a difficult position, after all. You saved the representative of our Minghuo Merchant Group, and we can't possibly offer no token of appreciation."

"However, I will certainly be your friend."

Although it was just a projection, Yukong walked up to Lin Shuang and extended her right hand.

Seeing this, Lin Shuang smiled and also extended her hand, shaking it in mid-air as a form of greeting.

"Now I have connections with Luofu's high-ranking officials. When I go to Luofu, won't I be able to walk around with impunity?"

Hearing this, both Yukong and Tingyun couldn't help but smile.

And Lin Shuang, upon seeing the new system notification, also started to smile.

[Target: Yukong]
[Affection: 60 (Friendly & Grateful)]
[Relationship: Friend]
['She is very grateful to you because of Tingyun's matter.']
[Reward: 1 Green Draw]

Afterward, after exchanging pleasantries with Yukong for a few more moments, Yukong naturally extended an invitation to Lin Shuang to visit Xianzhou Luofu as a guest.

Lin Shuang was naturally willing, but she couldn't say for sure when they would go. She'd have to discuss it with Acheron.

After their conversation concluded, Yukong cast a strange glance at Tingyun, who stood silently to the side.

In just a few sentences, she noticed Tingyun didn't seem to be in good condition.

Not only were her legs trembling slightly, but her tail was also drooping listlessly. Coupled with the unnatural flush on her face and neck.

It immediately made Yukong think of that kind of thing, and she couldn't help but inwardly curse, What did this little Foxfolk do last night?!

Volume 1: Chapter 30 - Whose tail care ends up like yours!

Yukong's face flushed slightly, and she coughed.

"Ahem... Tingyun, are you feeling unwell?"

Yukong asked indirectly, originally just wanting to tease Tingyun a little, urging her not to lose her composure in front of guests.

But who would have thought that her opening remark would instead make Tingyun even more ashamed and indignant, causing her to glare at Yukong.

Lin Shuang, standing nearby, also guiltily averted her gaze.

Honestly, Lin Shuang hadn't expected that simply caring for Tingyun's tail would have such a lingering effect that hadn't faded yet.

She had been feeling quite guilty while talking to Yukong just now, and now Yukong's opening was a bombshell.

"..."

"..."

Silence was the bridge of Cambridge tonight.

Seeing the expressions of the two change the moment she spoke, Yukong was immediately astonished.
