Acheron: "No, I Have to Go Back and Check"

"Holy crap?! Silver Wolf, you're here again?!"

Lin Shuang, who was thrown into the air by the blast wave, did not feel the impact of the broken shrapnel, nor did she feel the excessively hot flames.

Aside from making a mess of his room, the missiles weren't powerful enough to break through the thick walls.

Coupled with those classic mechanical lines, Lin Shuang instantly knew that it was Silver Wolf attacking again!

Before Lin Shuang even get up, a foot, still clad in fishnet stockings, stomped hard on her chest, pinning her to the ground.

Prometheus's blade pierced the floor beneath him, pressing against Lin Shuang's neck.

The Silver Wolf, looking down at Lin Shuang with the same disdainful gaze one would give trash, glared fiercely at her.

"I see you haven't learned your lesson from last time! If there's a next time, I'll bomb you with a 100% simulated missile!"

At this moment, Lin Shuang was only wearing a light set of pajamas, and she wasn't even wearing any underwear.

At this moment, in order to hit himself, Silver Wolf had obviously added a collision volume to the holographic image.

So much so that when the Silver Wolf stepped on her chest, Lin Shuang could clearly feel the soft touch of the Silver Wolf's little feet and the delicate texture of its skin.

Carefully raising her hand, she grasped the Silver Wolf's slender ankle, wanting to hold those small, lovely, fragrant, and soft jade feet.

Lin Shuang said with an awkward smile:

"Hey Duck Duck, you know, we're just having a good time chatting online, why do you always have to come over here and beat people up? That's no fun at all."

"Hmph! You have the nerve to say that?"

Silver Wolf was clearly furious. He didn't even care about Lin Shuang's restless hands on his ankles and viciously stomped on them a few times.

He was so pleasured by Lin Shuang's ministrations that he couldn't help but let out a soft sound.

"Mmm... uh..."

Perhaps Lin Shuang's performance was too outrageous, because Silver Wolf's mind went blank for a moment. After Prometheus sheathed his blade, he slammed it hard into Lin Shuang's forehead.

At the same time, Silver Wolf's furious voice rang out from inside the room:

"Behave yourself! Father and son? Who's father and son with you! I'm telling you right now, you're marrying me whether you want to or not!! Father and son? Bah! No way!"

"..."

Even someone as freakish as Lin Shuang was deeply shocked by Silver Wolf's explosive words.

Some nice people want to get married but they're practically begging on people's backs, forcing them into marriage with a look of disgust.

No, the Stellaron Hunter wasn't exactly a saint to begin with.

But surely it's not like he'd force her to get married just because he disliked the relationship between Cyber and his son...

"..."

"..."

Silence filled the air, and then Lin Shuang saw the Silver Wolf, who had just come to his senses, turn red in the face and tremble all over.

Finally, after letting out an embarrassing "meow...", it disappeared from the room.

"Oh dear..."

Lin Shuang subconsciously clenched her empty hand in the void.

It's a pity I couldn't get Silver Wolf to lift her foot so I could let her put her little foot on my palm and play with it.

I sat up and looked around the room, which was now a complete mess from the bombing.

Fortunately, there weren't many miscellaneous items in the bedroom to begin with, and when Silver Wolf threw the bomb, the power was set to be relatively restrained, so no furniture in the room was damaged.

So after a little fuss, the bed was made.

After finally tidying up and sitting back on the bed, Lin Shuang opened Silver Wolf's chat window again.

[Four-Core Greatsword: Why did you run off again without a word? Since you're already here, let's set a time.]

After editing the message, Lin Shuang felt that it sounded a bit strange, but she still sent it anyway.

It was marked as 'read' as soon as it was sent, so it seems Silver Wolf is still staring at his phone right now.

However, Silver Wolf's avatar displayed 'Typing...', and it showed for a long time without sending the message.

This inevitably made Lin Shuang very curious about Silver Wolf's current expression and state, but unfortunately, Lin Shuang's teleportation could only take her to places she had already been.

At the same time--

Divination Department.

Jing Yuan sat in his seat, looking down at a report, while Fu Xuan's projection was also reporting something in front of him.

"Fu Qing, according to you, the flames used by Lin Shuang have miraculous effects such as Illusion and freezing. In that case, I think it's more likely that they come from the power of Heliobus."

"I also suspected the same, but according to the divination, Lin Shuang is trustworthy, but..."

Fu Xuan didn't say the second half of his sentence aloud, but Jing Yuan understood Fu Xuan meant.

Grand Void Astral Compass judged that Lin Shuang could be trusted, but the power of Heliobus emanating from her was worrying.

Both of them were aware of Heliobus's aggressive nature towards humanity.

Knowing that Heliobus could not coexist with humans, they worried that one day Lin Shuang would be devoured by Heliobus and turn from a friend into an enemy of the Xianzhou.

They also worried that Lin Shuang had already become the body of Heliobus, and that she had come to the Xianzhou for another purpose, while avoiding the divination of the Grand Void Astral Compass.

More importantly, Fu Xuan couldn't see Lin Shuang's fate clearly; it was too unpredictable. This made it difficult for Fu Xuan to make a decision for the time being.

Jing Yuan immediately noticed Fu Xuan's worry, so he lazily propped his head up and smiled:

"We can worry about the future later, Fu Qing. You're overthinking it. Regardless of her, the person beside her is even more perceptive than we are."

"Jing Yuan, you make it sound so easy! I'm worried..."

"Sigh, Fu Qing is still so impatient. If you're curious, just ask him directly. Why are we wasting our time pondering here?"

"Hmph! I'd like to see how you plan to ask tomorrow!"

Volume 1: Chapter 75 Acheron: No, I have to go back and see.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Acheron...

On an unnamed, Barren Planet, life is just beginning to sprout. The planet is still a vast ocean with few landmasses.

Acheron continued his interstellar wanderings, going wherever the wind took him.

At that moment, Acheron suddenly felt a surge of inspiration, which made her look in the direction of the Xianzhou Luofu.

"Hmm? This is strange... This feeling is like it came out of nowhere."

Acheron gently covered his chest with his left hand. This sudden flash of inspiration was something he hadn't experienced in countless years.

So much so that Acheron was a little caught off guard.

"Luofu... Is Lin Shuang planning to do something dangerous there?"

Luofu is guarded by the Xianzhou General and the Cloud Knights. Lin Shuang only provoked the Abundant Doses, which is why she caught the attention of that mysterious Emanator.

Having the knife he left behind should have been enough to save his life.

Moreover, this was part of his previous plan, so a certain degree of risk was inevitable.

Why would I have such inspiration now?

Frowning slightly, Acheron muttered to himself almost unconsciously without much thought:

"Let's go back and ask."

At this moment, Acheron didn't even consider that he had been taking the wrong path for the past few days.

I didn't even consider whether spending so much time contradicted my original plan.

Just because of a sudden flash of inspiration, without any basis, they felt that Lin Shuang wanted to do something dangerous on the Xianzhou.

So he immediately decided to return to the Xianzhou, go to Lin Shuang, and ask her properly to dispel his doubts.

Acheron took out his phone and looked at the single, empty name in his contact list.

After thinking about it, I decided not to send a message to ask directly.

They turned around and headed back towards the Xianzhou.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Lin Shuang received a message from Qingque.

They were told to meet at Starskiff Port in Changle Heaven. She had already handed Lin Shuang and her own passes to the soldiers, and once they arrived, they could head directly to the Divination Department.

The message was sent about half a System Hour earlier than when Lin Shuang woke up.

When Lin Shuang arrived at the designated location, Qingque Que was squatting by the roadside, idly playing with the Emperor's Jade while eating breakfast.

There are very few Starskiff traveling to and from the Port of the Divination Department, making it much quieter compared to other places.

Qingque squatted alone to the side, with the Cloud Knights standing guard not far away.

Upon seeing Lin Shuang approach, Qingque quickly waved.

"You arrived so quickly? I don't remember you usually getting up this early."

While greeting him, he smiled and handed him a breakfast, a local specialty of Xianzhou.

Lin Shuang didn't stand on ceremony, took the breakfast, and squatted down next to Qingque:

"We're going to see that Divine General today, so we should at least make it a proper Ritual."

"I would have believed you if you had just used a different word."

Qingque turned her head and looked at the person holding the paper bag, squatting down next to her as if they didn't care about their image at all. It was really hard to call this behavior 'Ritual'.

"How can getting up early to eat breakfast not be considered Ritual?"

Lin Shuang pouted and mumbled a rebuttal. Qingque didn't quite hear it, but she could roughly guess what the person was saying.

Being stubborn is a common trait of Lin Shuang's personality.

Qingque even felt that even if she were buried in the ground one day, she would probably still stubbornly insist that the soil wasn't packed tightly enough.

"Hurry up and eat, then we'll go to the Divination Department. Sigh~ The Grand Diviner didn't even give us a specific time. Really..."

Lin Shuang turned her head to look at Qingque's skillful card-drawing technique, and suddenly teased:

"Speaking of which, Qingque, you're going to see that general today too? Having made an impression on Luofu General, your rise to prominence is just around the corner!"

"You Crow! You'd better shut your mouth!"

Qingque turned her head and glared at Lin Shuang with annoyance. If the general really mentioned her today, it would all be your fault!

Lin Shuang chuckled and shut her mouth.

He quickly finished his breakfast and then went with Qingque to the messenger from the Divination Department.

After confirming his identity, the messenger summoned the Starskiff, which was responsible for traveling to and from the Divination Department.

Upon entering the Starskiff, a Cloud Knights was sitting inside, carrying weapons, indicating that he was quite particular about his protection.

With outsiders present, Qingque and Lin Shuang couldn't speak freely.

Both of them leaned back lazily in their chairs, closing their eyes to rest for a while.

The Divination Department is grand and magnificent. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a bright red carpet and majestic stone lions sitting on both sides.

A number of Cloud Knights soldiers guarded this place, protecting its safety.

Passing through the lobby, you're greeted by a huge projected chessboard directly in front of the checkmate's position, seemingly offering a panoramic view of the entire board.

I just don't know if this chessboard is just for show, or if someone actually plays a game here.

As soon as they entered the Divination Department, Lin Shuang was fine, but Qingque cleverly lagged behind by half a step, hiding half of her body behind Lin Shuang.

She glanced around briefly and immediately spotted Luofu General, Jing Yuan, standing at the head of the group.

And Yanqing and Qingzu standing beside him.
