"..."

Isn't the Penacony issue the most important thing?

Lin Shuang looked at the sheet music in front of her, but she couldn't understand it at all.

"Uh, why don't you just do that yourself? Besides, you actually came here to talk about those songs...?"

"Of course! We can't go back on our word. Although I'm not able to perform right now, I can still do other work."

When it comes to their area of expertise, the Firefly's temperament becomes more rigorous.

"This is your cover after all, you can make your own decision. Besides, I can't read the sheet music."

"Oh no..."

The Firefly was taken aback; Lin Shuang's confident refusal left her speechless.

The Galaxy is home to many civilizations, and the symbols that carry music are naturally different for each one, but they can even come up with something like Synesthesia Beacon.

There is naturally a set of musical symbols that are widely promoted and widely recognized.

The Firefly was surprised that this person, who had already released a hit single on the platform, didn't even recognize this.

No, could this person have really just come from some remote corner of the universe?

The origins of Lin Shuang are impossible to trace; she appeared right next to that Galaxy Ranger.

This seems quite likely.

Thinking of this, the Firefly simply said:

"Then I'll teach you music, Lin Shuang."

"... ah?"

Lin Shuang was puzzled, wondering why the conversation had veered off to this point.

But the Firefly serious than Lin Shuang had imagined.

She actually spent half a day teaching Lin Shuang music, and didn't leave until evening.

Although it's a bit subtle, Firefly is very gentle and has a beautiful voice, so I quite enjoy her classes.

For Lin Shuang, it was a good way to pass the time.

Given her current condition, she's definitely too lazy to go out these days.

It's not bad to have something to do to pass the time.

After the Firefly left.

Lin Shuang received another message from Fu Xuan:

[Fu Xuan: How are you feeling? I'm so sorry, I'm too busy with official duties today to come.]

[Fu Xuan: I specifically consulted the oracle, and your recovery seems to be going well. The general was clamoring to pay you a personal visit, but I saw through his act and stopped him.]

[Fu Xuan: If you need anything, you can contact Qingque. She has indeed been working very hard these past few days, and I'm thinking she should take a break. So I had her bring some gifts to you later.]

The message from Fu Xuan looked serious, but its content was clearly not so serious.

With such a big incident happening in Luofu, Jing Yuan still thought of coming here to slack off and relax. I wonder if Fu Xuan is furious.

Qingque, however, impressed her.

Even Fu Xuan said that Qingque has been working hard lately; she must have done a lot of work.

It's unclear how many of these actions were forced upon them by Fu Xuan, and how many were truly voluntary.

Especially when she thought about how Qingque's Scythe of Annihilation was about to flare up when she last visited Qingque, it was truly a tragic sight.

With that in mind, Lin Shuang bought some milk tea and a few Pastries online so that she could have some when Qingque arrived.

[Lin Shuang: Thank you for your concern. I am indeed much better now. I'll visit the Divination Department's Office in a couple of days to discuss things further.]

[Fu Xuan: Your health is the most important thing. Whether it's the Abundant Doses or the Lord Ravager, they've both come to an end for now, so a few more days won't make a difference.]

[Lin Shuang: Fu Xuan, you're the one who should be exhausted. Don't collapse from overwork.]

[Fu Xuan: I will be careful.]

The conversation with Fu Xuan was relatively brief. As for when Qingque would arrive, I'll send her a message to ask later.

As for now--

Lin Shuang looked at the card-drawing opportunity she had received today.

A green gacha pull from Firefly.

I wonder what will be extracted.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuang couldn't help but rub her hands together, and this time, she blurted out:

"Draw a card--!"

This time, the green light transformed directly into purple, and with Lin Shuang's excited gaze, a skill appeared before her:

[Tonight, the stars echo because of me (The Permanence Version)]

['I'll copy this for you... It imitates a skill of the Firefly. During battle, you can buff yourself by playing a song. The better you sing, the stronger the buff. Of course, you have to sing and record the song yourself.']

['Actually, you could just sing it directly, but considering your singing skills, I think you should forget about it.']

Let the professionals handle the professional matters.

"..."

Lin Shuang remained silent.

They're torturing her like this, and the fighting already has its own background music, so now they want her to sing it herself?

It's truly the first rays of dawn...

Do I really have to learn this song?

Volume 1: Chapter 139 I think you're just being Moe-Mew Form.

Lin Shuang is hard to judge; the others are at least somewhat related.

This time, they just took one skill from someone else's skill set and gave it to her.

It's ridiculous, and they even insisted on singing it themselves.

But Lin Shuang was also very envious that this could give her a buff.

I already have a fear of insufficient firepower, and now there's an ability to refresh buffs without any side effects right in front of me, how can I resist using it?

Lin Shuang couldn't help herself.

But the thought of this broken Greatsword not only playing songs during battles, but also playing her own version.

Lin Shuang felt a wave of dizziness; she simply couldn't bear to think about that scene...

It gives you the feeling of having obtained a piece of equipment that is very powerful but has a very abstract appearance.

Maybe in the future, we should fight anonymously and wear a mask.

At least I can pretend I'm not myself.

While Lin Shuang was still struggling with whether to choose social death or strength...

My phone beeped with another message notification.

[Qingque: Are you there? I heard you did something big again yesterday. The Lord Diviner gave me a day off, so I came to see you.]

[Lin Shuang: That's strange, Fu Xuan actually agreed to give you a day off.]

Although he already knew the reason for the matter from Fu Xuan, he couldn't help but make a few jokes when the time came.

[Qingque: You have to admit, you're really influential. You were making sure I was working overtime every day for a while, but today you let me go home on time, all because you came to visit me.]

Qingque knew perfectly well that the reason she came out so early today was because she had brought along the old man, Grand Tutor, to visit Lin Shuang.

[Qingque: Hey sis, you have so much influence with Grand Tutor, why don't you just tell her you need me tomorrow and ask me to play cards with you?]

Seeing Qingque's opportunistic behavior, Lin Shuang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Is it that Fu Xuan's Eye of the Law was spot-on, or that she simply understood Qingque's personality far too well?

If Qingque knew that all her thoughts were exactly what Fu Xuan had predicted, she would probably be on tenterhooks every time she tried to slack off from now on.

[Lin Shuang: I don't care. Anyway, if you get arrested, you'll be the one Fu Xuan scolds.]

[Qingque: Oh well, it won't make a difference if I don't play cards again. If I don't play cards soon, I'll really be Scythe of Annihilation! I'm so young, I don't want to end up in the Ten Lords' Court.]

Qingque spoke with great seriousness, which only made Lin Shuang feel happy.

Well, watching others work like corporate slaves while you can sleep in until you naturally wake up is indeed quite blissful.

Forget it, I'm so sorry, how could I be so gloating?

Lin Shuang silently reflected for a while, then replied:

[Lin Shuang: Speaking of which, how's Changle Heaven doing today? I saw online that a large area of Changle Heaven is closed, most businesses are temporarily closed, but the mahjong parlors are still open?]

[Qingque: Yes, of course we'll open! It's not like Changle Heaven isn't the only place with card rooms; there's a branch at Starskiff Haven too. We'll go play cards at Starskiff Haven tomorrow, it's the same thing.]

[Lin Shuang: Okay then, I'll go ask Fu Xuan for the person tomorrow.]

[Qingque: Hey, that sounds weird. But thanks anyway, sis!]

[Qingque: Huh~ Let's play cards!]

[Qingque: I have to go now, I need to disembark on the Starskiff. Wait for me to bring you some delicious food.]

After saying that, Qingque logged off.

Lin Shuang hadn't even had a chance to tell Qingque to buy less stuff yet.

Thinking about how I had also ordered some Pastries, I realized I probably wouldn't be able to finish them all.

Just as Qingque arrived, the Pastries and milk tea that Lin Shuang had ordered were also delivered by the Skill Bird.

Pushing open the door, Lin Shuang greeted Qingque as she entered, and then reached for the box.

"Hey, hey, I'll do it, I'll do it--"

Upon seeing this, Qingque quickly took two steps back, picked up the items, and then went inside.

"You should rest well, patient. What did you buy?"

As she moved things, Qingque kept nagging, while Lin Shuang followed behind, laughing as she said:

"I bought some food and drinks, your favorites."

"Oh, hehe, how could I accept this? I'm the one who came to visit you. Look, I've prepared something too."

After placing the items on the table, Qingque chuckled sheepishly and scratched her head, then put down the gifts she had brought.

However, Qingque looked Lin Shuang up and down, and even leaned closer to observe her closely.

"Girl, if I hadn't smelled the medicine, I would never have known you were injured!"

"I took the medicine according to the prescription given by the Dragon Lady from the Alchemy Commission, and I feel much better today."

Qingque nodded; it was better that Lin Shuang was alright.

There was such a long, sharp scar in the sky above Changle Heaven; just looking at it was terrifying.

The Photos of that knife mark spread throughout Luofu overnight.

Everyone is guessing who did that blow. Some say it was the general, others say it was the enemy, and some even guess it was the old lady Fu Xuan who did it.

"Tell me quickly what exactly happened yesterday. Who slashed down from the sky? Good heavens, that was a terrible slash! Right now, the Cloud Knights is blocking the entire scene and won't let anyone pass."

"Aren't you always avoiding trouble? Why are you gossiping today?"

Lin Shuang took the Immortal's Joy Tea from Qingque and gave her a questioning look.

But Qingque retorted confidently:

"No, everyone in Luofu knows about this now. What's wrong with gossiping a little?"
