Lin Shuang: I Hope Stelle Isn't Picking Up Any Weird Kinks.

"Go investigate first, after all, we came here on a mission."

"Uh, but..."

"I'm quite curious about the process by which the Ten Lords' Court handles cases. Can I take a look, Huohuo?"

"Eh--"

Huohuo looked bewildered, and then Lin Shuang took her hand.

After being asked to do this by Lin Shuang, Huohuo immediately fell for her.

And this time, an older sister was with him too.

Even tasks you normally dislike might become smoother.

After realizing this, Huohuo suddenly gained confidence.

He felt much more energetic.

"I will try my best!"

With Huohuo's powerful momentum, the Starskiff quickly arrived at its destination.

Lin Shuang stood at the Port of Aurum Alley, watching the pedestrians coming and going, and the bustling Port.

Although it can't compare to Changle Heaven, at least it doesn't look like it's about to go bankrupt.

It seems that Sushang and Xing Gan did a pretty good job.

That is...

Lin Shuang looked down helplessly and saw the fluffy little fox girl tugging at her arm and hiding behind her.

The imposing aura from the Starskiff has vanished.

Just as I was about to encourage Huohuo...

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of two somewhat familiar color combinations.

One of them, in a darker color, took a running start and charged forward.

"I just yelled 'Hi! Honey!' chuckles"

A star pounced forward, but Lin Shuang grabbed her silly face and stopped her halfway, preventing her from jumping onto Lin Shuang.

"Why are you running so fast?! Waaah... Is she alright?... It looks like it hurts."

Sushang, who was two steps behind, complained a couple of times, but after seeing Lin Shuang slap her face, she realized what was happening.

His expression was strange, yet he couldn't help but feel worried.

"..."

Xing, who hadn't been released by Lin Shuang yet, gave Sushang a thumbs up.

He remained silent, showing everyone what was happening.

Huohuo, standing nearby, was even more puzzled:

"Sister... is she alright? Could she have been possessed by Heliobus?"

"No, she's always been like this. It has nothing to do with Heliobus."

Chapter 307 Lin Shuang: I hope Xing won't develop some strange quirks.

"Ouch... it hurts..."

Xing squatted on the ground, covering her face and making strange noises.

Just as Lin Shuang was staring at her with amusement, suddenly—

[Target: Star]

[Affection: 81 (Caring and Trust)]

[Relationship: Newlyweds]

"..."

Lin Shuang looked at the star whose Affection had suddenly increased by one point with a strange expression.

Broken.

I hope that treating me like this won't cause me to develop some strange fetish...

If this child grows up to be a strange creature, Kafka wouldn't hesitate to cut herself with a knife.

Just as Lin Shuang was experiencing mixed feelings.

Sushang gently patted her shoulder.

"Isn't this the result of your own careless talk...?"

Lin Shuang then introduced the two of them, along with Huohuo, to each other.

"So, Sushang, what are you doing in Aurum Alley? Patrolling?"

Although Lin Shuang knew Sushang was doing, she still asked her a question.

"Oh dear... actually it's like this--"

Sushang scratched her head a little embarrassedly and began to explain the matter of Aurum Alley to Lin Shuang.

Huohuo, who was standing to the side, listened with great interest.

So, you two are doing renovations on this old neighborhood?

"Uh... what kind of urban renewal? Anyway, that's the thing. We'll definitely make those guys from that company bark like dogs when the time comes!"

Sushang stood with her hands on her hips, looking angry.

Although Lin Shuang supports Sushang.

But she couldn't help but think that she really wanted to be in the dark room with Sushang, listening to Sushang bark like a dog.

Thinking about it, it's kind of... unique.

Lin Shuang shook her head and dumped the waste out.

Xing had recovered by then.

Although his nose was red, at least it wasn't knocked crooked.

"Lin Shuang, did you come here to play with me?"

Xing scratched his head, wondering what Lin Shuang had come for.

"How about we stop by and try one of the famous restaurants in Aurum Alley?"

As he said this, an advertising flyer was handed to Lin Shuang.

Xing, on the other hand, enthusiastically introduced the various shops here to Lin Shuang.

Judging from how serious she looks, she seems to be putting a lot of effort into it.

Huohuo listened intently, and Lin Shuang, seeing this, reached out and patted Huohuo's head, asking:

"Should we go check it out after the investigation? We're just here to rest anyway."

"Uh-huh!"

"Huh? What kind of survey are you doing?"

Sushang suddenly leaned her head closer, looking quite interested:

"If there's any trouble, just leave it to my Cloud Knights! Hmph! Those scoundrels who dare to cause trouble in Aurum Alley, I'll wipe them out without exception!"

"Eh... Ah, it's like this, there seem to be rumors about a 'Ghost Market Pawnshop' in Aurum Alley lately, so my older sister and I came here to investigate."

"Ghost Market Pawnshop?"

Sushang looked puzzled and turned to look at Xing.

Ke Xing also looked confused.

"... I connect my Skill Bird every day, I didn't pay attention to this."

Xing is quite busy at the dock, mainly in charge of the dock's import and export operations, as well as the affairs of the Skill Bird.

I usually just grab a bite at Aurum Alley, and all I think about is how to increase customer traffic. I haven't really paid attention to the rumors.

Since Huohuo still remembered the contents of the scroll, she said directly:

"It's said that there's a mysterious pawnshop in Aurum Alley that only accepts special items as collateral, such as souls and Remembrance... Because it seemed so strange, my older sister and I decided to come and investigate."

"...?"

Sushang and Xing exchanged a puzzled look.

Do they have such a place here?

Sushang raised her hand and said:

"Why don't we ask Mingxi? She's the secretary of the local chamber of commerce; she might know something."

Seeing Sushang's enthusiasm, Lin Shuang couldn't refuse, so she nodded and said:

"Then I'll Sushang you, Huohuo and I will go to the scene first and wait for your good news."

After Lin Shuang finished speaking with Huohuo, she was about to leave when Sushang grabbed Lin Shuang's wrist.

This girl looks small and cute, but she has surprisingly strong grip; no wonder she can play with the Xuanyuan Sword like that.

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm from the Cloud Knights! I'll go with you, just in case anything happens, we'll have someone to help each other."

"About gathering information..."

As Lin Shuang spoke, her gaze drifted towards the stars.

"Huh? I'm going?"

"If Lin Shuang and Huohuo go on an adventure, they'll need a local to look after them. This Aurum Alley is so complicated; what if they get lost?"

Sushang spoke with such confidence that Xing, somewhat amused, put one hand on her hip.

"You're not going to follow them just because you think it's funny, are you?"

"Oh dear! You see, I'm not much help with things that require thinking, so I might as well go and lend a hand."

Sushang blushed slightly and glared at Xing, making the other person scratch his head.

"Alright, alright, I'll stay here at the dock and help ask around."

Xing has been getting busier and busier these past few days, but the situation in Aurum Alley is visibly improving.

Deploying a large number of Skill Bird for fast food delivery services has also yielded results.

Recently, orders from outside Aurum Alley have also been increasing.

Xing was willing to go along, but obviously didn't have the time.

After all, she still had the task of preventing Sushang from learning to bark like a dog.

So the investigation team temporarily added Sushang as a member.

Where do we go next?

"The intelligence said... that pawnshop is in a secluded corner. Let's ask around."

Huohuo only knows its characteristics, but no one knows its exact location.

We'll just have to search slowly.

Lin Shuang then looked at Sushang and asked:

"Sushang, you've been staying in Aurum Alley lately. Are there any secluded spots around here?"

Sushang patrols every day, so of course she knows the remote areas.

But the problem is...

"I know that, but there are so many deserted places in Aurum Alley!"
