But after seeing Lin Shuang's swordsmanship and abilities, he gave up the idea.

Swordsman can distinguish the quality of a sword on his own, without needing anyone else to explain it to him.

Lin Shuang nodded in satisfaction and then brandished the sword a few more times.

"I will use it well."

For some reason, Lin Shuang suddenly had a very subtle premonition that the first target of this sword's blade would be a formidable enemy.

That's quite strange.

The next day.

Lin Shuang arrived at the Port where the Spaceship would take off and land at the time agreed upon with the Firefly.

Compared to the Port where the Astral Express Crew landed on the Xianzhou in the game, this Port, which is specifically used to handle passengers, is obviously much more spacious.

Although there is still cargo loading and unloading, it's not the kind with a huge pile of containers anymore.

As Lin Shuang entered the Port, she could see that there were far more Cloud Knights stationed there than usual.

Not only those entering the Xianzhou, but also those leaving Xianzhou, will be subject to extremely strict checks.

This is why Lin Shuang came here to wait for the Firefly.

Upon entering the Xianzhou, the Cloud Knights will conduct a necessary inspection of personal belongings and verify identities.

At that time, the disguises on their bodies will naturally have to be removed, and their racial characteristics will also have to be shown to the Cloud Knights.

At that time, the distinctive features of the Firefly's Halovian will almost certainly be recognized by passersby.

To avoid causing any disturbance, Lin Shuang decided it was better to come and pick them up.

Of course, the main reason is that today is another day of doing nothing.

Having nothing better to do, I was just wandering around on the Xianzhou anyway, and since I was just wandering around somewhere, I might as well come here.

According to the expected time, it wasn't long into the night.

Lin Shuang quickly recognized the Spaceship that the Firefly was traveling in.

A rather luxurious small Spaceship; I wonder how many passengers it can carry.

And what happened next...

It turned out pretty much as Lin Shuang had predicted.

The robin had disguised itself to avoid being Firefly.

When faced with an inspection by the Cloud Knights.

Reluctantly, he removed his sunglasses and mask, took off his hat, and put the Halo he had put in his pocket on his head.

Then she unfolded the small Wings that had been tucked under her long hair.

The Cloud Knights conducting the inspection seemed to have only heard of Firefly's fame and didn't seem to care whether she was a big star or not.

However, some of the guests who were in front of and behind the Firefly had already recognized the Firefly by these characteristics.

"... Is that Firefly?"

"What? Holy crap... It really is! Didn't Firefly say he was going back to Penacony? Why is he in Luofu?"

"What? Firefly? Where are Firefly?"

The Cloud Knights guarding the pass were all old men, hundreds of years old, and had never seen anything like this before. They were superstars from hundreds of years ago when they were chasing after celebrities.

There seemed to be signs of unrest among the passengers in front and behind.

He immediately gripped his longsword tightly and slammed it hard against the ground!

BOOM!

"Keep quiet! Violators will be arrested on the spot!"

"Keep quiet!!"

The Cloud Knights around him gripped their longswords and gave a sharp thud, their loud and intimidating slogans instantly silencing the commotion in the crowd.

After doing all this, the Cloud Knights chuckled at the Firefly and said:

"Hey girl, I didn't know you were a celebrity. This is my fault. Is anyone answering the phone? You should go in now."

The Firefly had initially been somewhat intimidated by the imposing aura of the Cloud Knights, recovered quickly.

She watched as the masked Cloud Knights leader seamlessly switched between the roles of warrior and elder brother, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her face.

"Yes, someone answered. Sorry for the trouble."

After picking up his suitcase, the Firefly bowed slightly, then quickly put on his mask and hat and left the checkpoint.

The Firefly tugged at its collar, looking left and right, and soon spotted the conspicuous head of White-Haired Form in the crowd.

Earlier today, Lin Shuang sent her Photos of herself.

White hair is quite rare among the Xianzhou native.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Lin."

Lin Shuang watched the Firefly sneakily approach and found it amusing.

In fact, along the way, although the people passing by didn't dare to cause trouble, their eyes were still following the Firefly.

So Lin Shuang looked around and said with a smile:

"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere where we won't be disturbed."

Volume 1: Chapter 126 Phantylia: I'm Layla!

After speaking to the Firefly.

Lin Shuang then turned and walked towards the port exit. The Firefly hesitated only slightly before immediately following her.

They led the Firefly away from the Port without saying a word.

Avoiding the gaze of most people, Lin Shuang activated a teleportation wormhole, gestured to Firefly, and the two stepped inside one after the other.

At the same time--

Having just passed through customs, Phantylia leisurely walked towards the exit with her luggage, but her gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on the opened Teleportation Gate.

"What a coincidence! I was just wondering where to look for you, and you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep. Don't blame me for that."

Phantylia saw the teleportation wormhole, and also the woman following behind Lin Shuang.

To her surprise, she hadn't even started looking for anyone yet, and her target had already jumped right into her face.

Although she didn't know what Lin Shuang was up to, Phantylia still made her move.

A tiny flame flickered and vanished from the fingertips hidden in the cuff.

In an instant, it traversed space, and before the wormhole closed, a few sparks quietly flew out and clung to the hem of the Firefly's coat.

They passed through the teleportation wormhole together.

Phantylia herself maintained her 'traveler' persona and calmly walked out of the Port.

"Is it in another Cavern?"

Phantylia's gaze turned to the sky, as if piercing through the spatial barrier that separated different Cavern.

Changle Heaven

Lin Shuang's residence.

Although Changle Heaven is very lively, it is in that bustling urban area, while the residential areas are relatively much better.

Of course, if we're only considering the number of people, Lin Shuang also considered Fyxestroll Garden.

But it seems that the two of them are about to discuss private matters.

Going to Fyxestroll Garden to talk about this in public... it just seems a bit strange.

So Lin Shuang simply took the person back to her residence.

Anyway, the house itself is located in a very remote area, the surrounding environment is nice, and generally no one bothers you.

"Please make yourself at home. Would you like some tea? It's a specialty of Xianzhou."

Lin Shuang pointed to the sofa, then, while fiddling with the tea leaves, watched the Firefly remove its disguise.

Of course, the most amazing thing is that detachable Halo that you can put in your pocket.

Lin Shuang was very curious about whether this Halo was something she was born with, something that grew gradually as she grew up, or something that was simply added on top of her.

And why can it magically stand on top of one's head? Is there some special structure in its brain that allows this Halo to float?

However, given these unique racial characteristics, it's also possible that this is a topic that's inconvenient to discuss.

Therefore, Lin Shuang chose to suppress her doubts.

The Firefly generously took off its big coat and hung it on the hanger next to it.

Then he sat down properly.

Lin Shuang returned carrying the tea set. As she passed the coat rack, she turned her head and glanced at the coat that had been hung up.

The subtle discord triggered a warning from Lin Shuang's instincts.

A crisis, and a major crisis at that.

Lin Shuang instantly became alert, but on the surface, she still put down the teapot and Teacup.

Serve the tea to the Firefly.

The Firefly reached out and took the tea, sniffing the aroma with some curiosity.

She had some knowledge of Xianzhou's tea culture, but clearly hadn't had much exposure to it; this was probably the first time she had actually tasted Xianzhou's specialty.

However, he only took a small sip.

The Firefly hasn't forgotten today's formality.

She watched as Lin Shuang sat down in front of her and immediately took out her phone, seemingly chatting with someone.

The White-Haired Form girl seemed to notice the Firefly's gaze, quickly put down her phone, and then smiled apologetically:

"Sorry, sorry, a friend is looking for me."

The Firefly put down its Teacup and smiled slightly at Lin Shuang.

"It was Miss Lin was disturbed by me today. If you have something to attend to, Miss Lin take care of it first."

I don't have anything urgent to do today.

Lin Shuang shook her head, indicating that the Firefly could start speaking directly.

Then the Firefly's expression turned serious; she sat up straight and looked into Lin Shuang's eyes:

"Miss Lin Shuang... I think you've probably guessed my purpose. So I'd like to ask you, what do you know about the Penacony?"

Perhaps accustomed to being a public figure, Firefly sat before Lin Shuang, appearing exceptionally beautiful in both demeanor and bearing.

He controlled his emotions well, as if he was simply inquiring about something related to his hometown, showing some concern, but not much.

His words and attitude were also very polite.

Lin Shuang didn't rush to answer. Instead, she silently praised Firefly's composure before taking out a Tarot Cards and placing it on the coffee table between them.

This operation left the Firefly a little bewildered.

Whether they know or not, whether they want to talk about it or not, there has to be a result.

Why pull out a whole deck of cards right away?

Should I do a fortune telling for her?

Firefly Lin Shuang didn't speak, the robin remained silent as well. Noticing the Firefly's puzzled look, Lin Shuang explained:

"Miss Firefly, you've misunderstood. I've never been to Penacony, how could I possibly know secrets that even you don't know?"

"..."
