Acheron: "Was My Plan a Little Too Much?"

Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan had always known that the core figure of the Abundant Doses was in the Alchemy Commission.

If we really wanted to do this, we should have gone directly to the Alchemy Commission) to investigate first, instead of leaving this precious opportunity with the Cloud Knights).

Is it really just going with the flow?

Why didn't Lin Shuang believe it?

He is, after all, a Divine General. Although he doesn't have much screen time in the game, this is reality. If Jing Yuan doesn't think three, four, or five steps ahead before doing anything, does he deserve the title of Divine Strategy General?

What's more, it's such a big deal.

Lin Shuang pinched another milk candy Rice Dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth, pondering what Jing Yuan's intentions might be.

Is this a deliberate attempt to force the reveal of the Abundant Doses?

In order to find Phantylia's whereabouts.

"Speaking of which, when does your Divination Department) conduct its own internal investigation?"

"Us? It should be our turn next. Our mission at the Divination Department is quite important."

Qingque sighed and then said:

"This morning, we received the general's orders that nothing about today's events should be revealed. The old fortune teller even specifically warned me to avoid going to the mahjong parlor lately, lest I let something slip. Sigh..."

"It's not that I'm afraid of letting something slip, it's that I'm afraid you'll be targeted. Anyone who finds out will probably come to the Divination Department to verify your skills. The Abundant Doses Teachings won't let this go easily; if you go to the card room, you'll just become a sitting duck."

As they were talking.

Lin Shuang had already found the shop selling these milk candy Rice Dumpling by following the packaging in her hand, and ordered two boxes of takeout for Acheron at home online.

The Skill Bird will then send the Rice Dumpling back to Acheron so he can have a taste.

Qingque, standing to the side, assumed Lin Shuang simply liked the Rice Dumpling and didn't pay much attention, continuing:

"Of course I understand the logic, but not only can I not play cards, I also have to work overtime at the Divination Department office. I'm really uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuang thought for a moment and realized that she could ask Silver Wolf to help her create a mobile game called "Emperor's Jade".

It doesn't need fancy special effects; as long as it can connect to the internet and be matched for card games, that's fine.

That way, even after Lin Shuang leaves the Xianzhou, she can still find someone to play cards with anytime.

I was just about to send Silver Wolf a message, but then I thought, we'll be meeting in the game again tonight, so I might as well wait until we get married.

That's what I just thought of.

Lin Shuang felt that this thought was strange.

"Sigh, just bear with it. It's bound to happen sooner or later. Anyway, it'll only be for a short while."

Lin Shuang patted the worker's shoulder sympathetically, then held the milk candy Rice Dumpling to Qingque's mouth, watching her open her mouth and take it.

The sweet treat soothed some of her inner pain. Qingque glanced at the milk candy Rice Dumpling, most of which were gone, and quickly waved her hand, saying:

"You should go find the Lord Diviner first. I think she must be exhausted and needs to replenish her sugar levels. Otherwise, we might eat them all."

Seeing that Qingque said so, Lin Shuang did not refuse. After packing up all the tea and snacks, she walked into the Divination Department alone.

Perhaps the notification from yesterday has already been delivered.

Lin Shuang relied solely on facial recognition to travel unimpeded to the place where the Grand Void Astral Compass was set up.

They found Fu Xuan busy working alone.

The other diviners seemed to have gone out to rest, leaving only Fu Xuan here processing information.

Seeing this, Lin Shuang quietly stepped forward, pinched a milk candy Rice Dumpling, and handed it to her from the side.

Fu Xuan did not disappoint Lin Shuang. Without even looking, she tilted her head slightly, opened her mouth, and let Lin Shuang put the Rice Dumpling into her mouth.

Lin Shuang's fingertip accidentally brushed against Fu Xuan's soft, warm lips, leaving a trace of icing sugar that made her fingers taste sweet as well.

"Hmm... Did you prepare these especially for me? Please wait a moment, I'll go get you some Medicinal Tea."

Fu Xuan noticed the tea and snacks in Lin Shuang's hand, and the smile on her lips betrayed her mood.

Who wouldn't be happy to receive an immediate response to someone's kindness?

Volume 1: Chapter 95 Acheron: Was my arrangement a bit excessive?

Fu Xuan temporarily put aside his work and laid out all the sweet soups that had been delivered to him that morning.

The herbal aroma is very pronounced, but not bitter. There is a well-balanced milky aroma and a sweet scent in the air.

Seeing that the Lord Diviner was about to get something, Lin Shuang quickly reached out and grabbed her hand.

"My Lord Diviner, you should rest for a while. I can tell you're a bit tired, and it's only been half a day."

"I'm fine; I just got up in the middle of the night to handle some official business. It's nothing."

Although that's what he said, Fu Xuan still followed Lin Shuang's hand and sat back down.

She looked at the tea and snacks that Lin Shuang had placed on the table and sighed softly.

"I... I... I wanted to take two sets of tableware, but please, try this sweet soup first."

Fu Xuan stammered for a moment, unsure of what she wanted to say, but after meeting Lin Shuang's questioning gaze, she immediately changed the subject.

He pushed a cup of Medicinal Tea in front of Lin Shuang.

"This cup is Medicinal Tea with added dates, chestnuts, and honey. The sweetness is subtly incorporated into the tea, making it refreshing and not greasy. I think you will like it."

Fu Xuan's expression at this moment was quite amusing.

Compared to the imposing presence he usually exuded as a diviner, Fu Xuan appeared much more peaceful at this moment.

Moreover, her expression seemed to carry a hint of anticipation, as if she was hoping that Lin Shuang would like what she cherished.

In addition, Fu Xuan's face already looks quite young, and after shedding the majesty brought by her identity as a diviner, she reveals a very special, mature girlish charm.

Lin Shuang, under Fu Xuan's unwavering gaze, picked up her cup and took a sniff.

It has a very distinct aroma of honey and dates, while the chestnut flavor is slightly milder in comparison.

Take a small sip.

It's sweet, but not overly so, with a hint of medicinal aroma.

It has a unique flavor compared to ordinary drinks.

Lin Shuang was somewhat surprised by the taste of this Medicinal Tea; it had a perfectly mild flavor that seemed suitable for everyday consumption.

"It's delicious, Fu Xuan. Do you know how this is made? It seems like it would be perfect as an everyday drink."

"Really--cough cough..."

Upon hearing Lin Shuang's words, Fu Xuan was initially delighted, almost blurting out something, but then coughed twice and instructed her:

"I know the recipe, of course, but a mild flavor doesn't mean it's low in sugar. One cup occasionally is fine, but it shouldn't be consumed in excess."

"Ahem... Indeed, when I first tasted it, I did think of using it to quench my thirst, but the Dragon Lady stopped me."

It seemed that she had said something that displeased Fu Xuan, so Lin Shuang pushed a plate of tea and snacks in front of her.

Then, Fu Xuan pouted, gave a soft hum, picked up the tea and snacks, and continued:

"Given my usual workload, what's wrong with drinking a little more? Honestly!"

As he spoke, Fu Xuan popped a snack into his mouth, his already round face puffing up even more, making him look even cuter.

Lin Shuang smiled; it was clear that Fu Xuan really liked this one.

Perhaps it was because the floodgates of conversation had been opened.

Fu Xuan gradually became more talkative, Lin Shuang also relaxed.

The Medicinal Tea teas recommended by Fu Xuan each had their own unique flavor, and Lin Shuang liked most of them quite a bit.

So he specifically asked Fu Xuan for the recipe, planning to make some for Acheron to try later.

We ate and drank our fill.

Fu Xuan replenished his sugar levels and recovered somewhat.

Lin Shuang suddenly asked:

"I wonder what your plans are for the Abundant Doses, Fu Xuan?"

"The Abundant Doses..."

Fu Xuan paused noticeably, stealing a glance at Lin Shuang, his expression seemingly hesitant.

After having Lin Shuang Grand Void Astral Compass, Fu Xuan used the information Lin Shuang provided to discover the most important secret.

However, the reason why neither the general nor Fu Xuan went directly to investigate the Alchemy Commission was that Huanlong was still eyeing them Phantylia.

Another reason is Lin Shuang's purpose.

Everyone has their own purpose in doing things. Lin Shuang is a good person, but she is definitely not the kind of person who makes selfless contributions.

She informed Xianzhou of this information, since there had to be something she wanted. Since she refused Jing Yuan's thanks, it meant that Xianzhou couldn't provide it.

According to the general, Lin Shuang is not stupid; if needed, she will naturally speak up, and they will simply do what they are supposed to do.

Fu Xuan hadn't expected Lin Shuang to speak up so soon.

"That's what you should be asking yourself. What do you want to do?"

Fu Xuan sipped his tea, his expression gradually returning to normal, clearly having reverted to his diviner state.

"Of course it's Phantylia."

Lin Shuang's matter-of-fact attitude made Fu Xuan frown. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, his eyes widened, and he jumped up, almost overturning the Medicinal Tea in front of her.

"You... you wouldn't be thinking of using an Emanator..."

It must be said that Fu Xuan is quite adorable even when he's surprised.

Lin Shuang smiled and steadied the Medicinal Tea, then said:

"Didn't the Xianzhou Alliance do something similar? I also have an item that can seal Heliobus, and my power to control Heliobus originates from that."

"Besides, I didn't expect to devour Phantylia whole; I'd be satisfied with just half of him."

If Lin Shuang were to actually take the entire Phantylia Gown, the amount Emanator, she was afraid it would overwhelm her.

Ideally, you could cut Phantylia into six, seven, or eight pieces, then steal about half of it. Once you've adapted and the future Xianzhou storyline arrives, you can then steal the other half.

However, Fu Xuan was not as optimistic as Lin Shuang.

That's the Lord Ravager!

It is the Emanator Destruction's Ancestor!

You're cutting a cake at the doorway, and you even ate half of it.

I never realized before that Lin Shuang was so audacious, daring to scheme against an Emanator.

Will everyone dare to scheme against the Aeon from now on?

"Having eaten half of it, it's uncertain whether we'll even be able to find the other person."

"Isn't this called a plan?"

Lin Shuang smiled, looking completely unconcerned, which made Fu Xuan understand.

I roughly guessed how Lin Shuang wanted to find Phantylia.

She nodded to herself, relieved that the general had instructed her to pretend she didn't know the identity of the Abundant Doses Chief.

"In short, if you need any help, you can contact me and the general directly. I will send you the general's contact information."

Based on the results of his discussion with Jing Yuan earlier that morning, Fu Xuan made a direct promise.

He also gave Lin Shuang General Jing Yuan's contact information.

He left the Divination Department.

Just as Lin Shuang was about to chat with Qingque for a while longer, Acheron sent her a communication request.

After the call connected, Acheron, still wearing her nightgown, appeared on the screen. She was leaning against the sofa, holding the milk candy Rice Dumpling that Lin Shuang had ordered.
