Huohuo: Big Sis! The Talisman, the Talisman! / Sushang: Sword Champion of Yaoqing, Please Grant Me Your Instruction, General.
Just then...
The Tail suddenly jolted, almost lifting Huohuo off the chair:
"It smells like the Heliobus, hehe~ Stop eating, stop eating, time to get to work!"
"Don't let your Tail suddenly pop out in a crowded place!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get the hell out of here to find Heliobus. He really is here."

Chapter 309 Huohuo: Big Sister! Talisman! Talisman!
I overheard Huohuo and Tail talking.
Lin Shuang paused for a moment, her hand holding the chopsticks still.
Wasn't it said that there's a high probability that it won't exist in this place...?
I just heard from Xing that this rumor is just a marketing tactic to boost the popularity of Aurum Alley.
I've already composed myself and am ready to have a feast.
Why did Heliobus suddenly appear again?
"Big sister..."
Huohuo looked up at herself.
Lin Shuang had no choice but to put down the dish she had only eaten halfway through.
"Let's go, Heliobus is the priority."
After saying that, Lin Shuang turned to the proprietress and told her to pack it up and come back to pick it up later.
Without having a chance to talk to the proprietress in detail, he left the shop with Huohuo.
"Huohuo, where are we going? Does Tail know?"
"Tail?"
"Don't order me around! Tch! Can't you find it yourself?"
Tail grumbled and pointed in a direction with the flame at the tip of its Tail.
Although it's a bit eye-catching to do it in such a public place.
But Huohuo still grabbed Lin Shuang's hand and ran towards that direction.
At the same time.
In the Illusion of Heliobus--
"Huh? Where's the ghost? Manager... did you see that ghost just now??"
Sushang, carrying the Xuanyuan Sword, looked shaken as she sized up the Foxfolk Girl in front of her who was holding a beautiful sword.
"You jest, sir. There's no ghost at all. Didn't you say you wanted to learn swordsmanship, which is why you came with me? But just now, you suddenly clutched your head. Are you feeling unwell?"
"... is that so?"
Sushang scratched her head blankly, feeling that her Remembrance of the store were a bit hazy.
It seems like the store manager said it, but then again, it doesn't seem like it was.
"Oh dear, whether it is true or not, the guest will know once he sees this swordsmanship."
The Foxfolk Girl, dressed in an elegant long dress, raised a long sword, but didn't look like a swordsman.
She looks more like a dancer.
"Does the shopkeeper wear this kind of skirt and use a sword?"
"It's this kind of skirt that's best for wielding a sword—guests, please be careful!"
As she spoke, the Foxfolk Girl smiled and gracefully twirled her sword, then her skirt billowed, Sushang couldn't even see how she moved.
Then the girl appeared before him in the blink of an eye, like a gust of wind.
A sharp sword light came rushing towards us!
"So fast--?!"
Sushang was shocked. She didn't have time to defend with the heavy sword and could only dodge to the side, barely managing to raise the heavy sword.
Using the weight of the Xuanyuan Sword, he deflected the girl's sharp sword light.
"This young lady has many different sword techniques, please take a look!"
"Huh? This sword move seems familiar."
The Foxfolk Girl's swordplay, devoid of killing intent or malice, immediately drew Sushang's attention to the duel.
So much so that the discomfort I had just felt was completely forgotten.
On the other side.
"Hehe~ This guy looks so-so, but his swordsmanship is surprisingly good."
Sushang, lying in the empty room, suddenly opened her eyes. Inconspicuous flames rose around her body, then quickly subsided.
At the same time, she let out a strange yet charming laugh.
"However... it seems this girl has a powerful friend? Hehehe, now I have to go and see for myself! I must learn how to Lord Ravager in two with a single sword strike!"
As Sushang spoke, she flipped her hand and grasped the incredibly heavy Xuanyuan Sword.
"Ouch—so heavy?! Who's this girl?"
The weight of the Greatsword caused Sushang to stumble, almost falling to the ground.
"No wonder her sword-wielding movements were so slow, now I know why... Interesting, interesting, I can learn some amazing sword techniques!"
Sushang awkwardly dragged the Xuanyuan Sword with one hand, then pushed open the door and walked out.
"Speaking of which... Tail can also sense the exact location of their own kind."
Lin Shuang looked at the guiding Tail with curiosity. It looked like a radar, something Lin Shuang couldn't do herself.
Lin Shuang could only sense Heliobus if he appeared nearby.
"Bullshit! That guy over there wasn't even trying to hide; he was actively approaching me. He's provoking me!"
Tail's attitude remained one of cursing and swearing.
He even tried to persuade Huohuo to remove the seal on her buttocks.
Let the Tail devour that overconfident Heliobus.
"No, you can't break the seal... Besides, they just didn't intend to hide it, how is that provoking us?"
"Pah! I'm going to eat it raw anyway! Hurry up and break the seal!"
"Don't reveal it!"
Huohuo tugged at Lin Shuang's hand, speaking in the most timid tone but with the most defiant words.
It was so angry that its Tail and mouth never stopped moving.
However, the two continued moving forward.
They also headed in increasingly remote directions.
Once we got to this area, there were hardly any pedestrians left.
"It's coming! Let me go!"
"Don't do anything reckless!"
If she were alone as usual, Huohuo would probably rely on the strength of her Tail.
But Lin Shuang is with me today.
Huohuo felt that providing support from the sidelines was enough.
At this moment, Huohuo was holding Commander's Banner and a gourd, looking as if she was ready to take action.
But just then...
The figure emerging from the alleyway corner startled both Huohuo and Lin Shuang.
"Sushang?"
"Miss Sushang Chang?! Oh no, eldest sister, Miss Sushang Chang has been possessed by Heliobus!"
Huohuo had a lot of dealings with Heliobus, so she quickly assessed the situation.
This was the first time Lin Shuang had ever seen someone who was possessed.
Although there seems to be a special effect in the game, it looks obvious.
But in reality, aside from her demeanor and expression, Lin Shuang really couldn't discern anything.
"Oh? You're the guy named Lin Shuang?"
Sushang dragged the Xuanyuan Sword as she strode toward Lin Shuang.
And they walked faster and faster.
In the end, he had transformed into a charging stance with his sword drawn, his expression becoming ferocious:
Let me see your sword!
"Huohuo, step back!"
Clang--!!
Crimson flames erupted from Lin Shuang's body.
The Red Greatsword engulfed in flames, was drawn from its sheath, shielding Huohuo behind it.
With a powerful swing, the Greatsword steadily caught the Xuanyuan Sword that was crashing down from above.
The heavy sword came crashing down, but Lin Shuang caught it steadily.
But the bricks beneath their feet shattered inch by inch, exploding into smoke and dust.
"Yay--Big sister, talisman, talisman!!"
"Hmph, still throwing your broken talisman around? Get me started!"
Huohuo, who was behind her, was startled. She closed her eyes and frantically threw the enhancement talismans she had made at Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang heard Huohuo's mournful cry and glanced at it from the side.
After confirming that Huohuo was alright, he flipped over and kicked back Sushang, who was trying to launch a sneak attack.
It was fortunate that Sushang was wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, which was incredibly heavy.
Although the force was powerful and heavy, the speed of the sword strike was actually quite slow.
In comparison.
Lin Shuang's Greatsword looks bigger, but it's not as heavy as the Xuanyuan Sword.
The fight would actually be much faster.

At the same time--
Xing, who was handling Logistics issues at the dock, suddenly paused.
A subtle feeling welled up from my heart for no apparent reason.
She subconsciously raised her head and looked in a certain direction.
