Chapter 2630 / Chapter 2631

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Your aunt and uncle asked me to pass on a message to you," Yao Guang suddenly said.

"What did you say?" Chen Li asked, somewhat curiously.

"Your uncle and aunt said... it's time for you to settle down and start a family," Yao Guang said with a slight smile.

"... Huh?" Chen Li's expression froze for a moment.

"Huh?" Fu Xuan, who was standing to the side, made the same sound.

"Why is Junior Sister so surprised?" Yao Guang looked at Fu Xuan and gave him a meaningful smile.

"You actually met Chen Li's parents ahead of time?!" Fu Xuan's voice rose several decibels.

"Junior sister, isn't your reaction time a little too long? You must be overworking yourself with the Holy Grail War. It's okay if you can't win the Holy Grail War. You can go back to the Luofu Xianzhou and inherit your position as Lord of the Hunt's Seven Generals." Yao Guang looked at Fu Xuan helplessly and sighed.

"But I'm still a child," Chen Li muttered to herself.

"My uncle also asked me to tell you that when he was your age, he and my aunt had already secretly pledged their lives to each other," Yao Guang relayed, word by word.

"It's amazing how smoothly you pronounce 'Uncle and Aunt'," Fu Xuan muttered to herself.

"Junior sister, what did you say?" Yao Guang pretended not to hear, turned her head to look at Fu Xuan, and asked with some curiosity.

"It's nothing." Fu Xuan shook his head expressionlessly.

Just then, the door to the Parlor Car was pushed open from the outside.

Feiying appeared at the door, walked straight into the carriage, and looked at the Robin.

"Um, Miss Robin, Sparkle said she hopes you can help cast a rainbow curse on Guiji," Feiying said bluntly.

"... What?" The Robin was taken aback.

"How should I put it... Oh, it's called Tuning, yes, Tuning." Feiying scratched her head, correcting her wording.

Upon hearing the word "Tuning," the Robin nodded knowingly, but then lowered its head with some difficulty, glancing at Chen Li, who was lying on its lap.

"Well... I have something very important to do here," the Robin said hesitantly.

Chapter 2630

Because of the sofa back and angle, from where Feiying was standing, she could only see the upper body of the Robin sitting upright, and could not see what was on her thighs.

"What could be more important than..." Feiying said as she walked towards the Robin.

But when Feiying got closer and saw Chen Li lying on the Robin's lap, Feiying paused for a moment. "Hmm... this matter is indeed very important."

"Go if you want to." Chen Li slowly sat up, stretching as he spoke to the Robin.

"Yes, please excuse me for a moment. I'll be right back," the Robin said softly, nodding slightly before preparing to get up.

Robin braced herself against the edge of the sofa and stood up, but as soon as she straightened up, her legs suddenly gave way.

Because Chen Li's head had been resting on her lap for so long, maintaining the same position for so long had caused her legs to go numb. A tingling, electric sensation spread from her knees down, causing the Robin's body to sway slightly.

"Hmm..."

The Robin lost its footing and slumped back onto the sofa.

"What's wrong? Is it numb? Do you need me to rub it for you?" Chen Li looked at Robin with some concern, then naturally placed his hand above Robin's knee.

As soon as he said that, Taiyi, sitting opposite him, started grinding his teeth again.

That death stare, for what seemed like the umpteenth time, precisely locked onto the back of Chen Li's head.

"No need, no need, thank you for your trouble..." The Robin quickly waved his hand, his voice tinged with embarrassment.

But Chen Li's fingers had already gently landed on the Robin's thigh.

The moment his fingertips brushed against her skin, a faint white light flashed across Chen Li's fingertips.

That was the power of the [Horse Talisman].

Warm light spread outward from Chen Li's palm, like a warm current flowing into the Robin's legs, which were slightly stiff from the numbness. The tingling sensation completely dissipated within a second or two, bringing the Robin to his peak condition.

"Thank you..." The Robin looked down at her legs, then at Chen Li's hand that had just been withdrawn, paused slightly, and said softly.

After speaking, the Robin's ear tips were already a little red. Then she stood up and walked briskly to Feiying's side.

Taiyi, who had witnessed the entire process, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Out of sight, out of mind.

"Do you need me to take over?" Celenova, sitting next to the Robin, gave Chen Li a gentle smile.

"I don't mind..." Chen Li was about to speak when Feiying interrupted him first.

"Um, Miss Celenova, would you like to come too?" Feiying said, peeking out at Celenova.

"What's wrong?" Celenova turned to look at Feiying with some suspicion.

"Sparkle said that you and Guiji used to be colleagues, and you might be able to help, so she hopes you can come too," Feiying explained.

"???" Celenova was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

No, do you really think I'm Celenova?

"Then it seems I can't give you a lap pillow." Celenova sighed regretfully and looked at Chen Li.

"Then I'll have to do it. My thighs shouldn't be too bad, right?" Yao Guang walked towards Chen Li with a smile, glancing down at his legs as he went.

The moment those words were spoken, Fu Xuan, who was standing to the side, jerked his head up as if his tail had been stepped on.

Before Yao Guang even reached Chen Li, Fu Xuan had already taken a few quick steps, walked past Yao Guang, and sat directly on the sofa next to Chen Li.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Xuan reached out and put his arm around Chen Li's shoulder, the movement so swift that Chen Li didn't even have time to react.

With a slight pull, Fu Xuan shifted Chen Li's upper body towards him, and Chen Li's head landed steadily on Fu Xuan's thigh.

Through the thin fabric of the white stockings, Chen Li could clearly feel the softness and warmth of Fu Xuan's legs.

Unlike the feel of Robin wrapped in a long skirt, Fu Xuan's legs, outlined in white stockings, had a more delicate and smooth feel, with slightly taut muscles that showed just the right amount of elasticity beneath the stockings.

"As the leader of the Anti-Propagation Alliance, Senior Sister naturally has more important things to do. There's no need to trouble you with this matter." Fu Xuan raised his head, looked at Yao Guang warily, and said in a serious tone.

"Not very old, but quite possessive of his food. Alright, alright." Yao Guang chuckled as he looked at Fu Xuan's eagerness.

My junior sister really likes to not fight when she should, but gets flustered and angry when she shouldn't.

Robin and Celenova followed Feiying out of the Parlor Car and headed to the Party Car to help Sparkle Tuning Guiji. Yao Guang sat down on the sofa to the side, brought up the holographic terminal projection, and seemed to be handling official business of the Paradise Alliance.

Fu Xuan, who had just forcefully pressed Chen Li's head onto his lap, was now staring intently at the Swarm outside the window, his cheeks flushed, and he dared not look down at all.

Only after acting impulsively did Fu Xuan belatedly realize what he had just done.

After a while, Fu Xuan finally mustered up the courage to slowly lower his head and secretly glance at Chen Li, only to meet Chen Li's gaze, who was also looking at him.

"Why... why are you looking at me like that?" Fu Xuan stammered.

"Well, I was just thinking about something," Chen Li said after a moment's thought.

"What's the problem?" Fu Xuan asked, somewhat curious.

"Don't you think... the fact that you can see me is enough to tell you something?" Chen Li asked tentatively.

"What's the problem? You didn't use any invisibility runes like the Snake Talisman, so why can't I see you? Or do you think I'm so cowardly that I don't dare to admit or face what I've done?" Fu Xuan paused for a moment, then frowned in confusion.

"How could that be? Fu Xuan, you know me. I've always respected you." Chen Li, lying on Fu Xuan's lap and able to see Fu Xuan's face clearly when he looked up, said in a rather subtle tone.

Since Fu Xuan didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words, Chen Li didn't say anything more.

Instead, Yao Guang, who was sitting opposite him handling official business, suddenly looked up and, understanding the implication in Chen Li's words, glared at Chen Li fiercely.

About twenty minutes later.

Inside the Parlor Car of the Astral Express, the group reunited.

"It is now 8:55 AM on the eighth day of the Holy Grail War. There are only one hour and five minutes left until the end of the Holy Grail War. We must lure the Propagation Aeon out of the Great Holy Grail before the Holy Grail War ends and force him to his knees." Yao Guang glanced at the time and spoke in a calm tone.

"Beat the Propagation Aeon to his knees? Then drag him back to the Astral Express?" Feiying scratched her head and tilted it as she spoke.

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat serious, suddenly became subtle after Feiying uttered those words.

Sitting next to Feiying, World-Painting couldn't help but quietly tug at Feiying's sleeve.

After Pearl used three Command Spell to create a room for World-Painting where she could not leave Imagenesis a horde of beasts with all of her tens of thousands of Command Spell, World-Painting emerged from that special space in just twenty minutes, feeling as if she had been transported to another world.

However, in between drawing, World-Painting also flipped through a few comics that Feiying had specially given her to bring in, which served as a pastime and source of inspiration during her seclusion.

So the moment Feiying uttered those words, World-Painting already knew what Feiying was thinking.

"Um, I was just joking to lighten the mood. Don't take it to heart." Feiying coughed as she realized she had misspoke and quickly tried to cover it up.

"Then everyone, prepare to depart. I wish you all a triumphant return."

Chapter 2631

Yao Guang didn't linger on this topic and quickly summarized the situation.

"And what about you, Senior Sister?" Fu Xuan turned to Yao Guang and asked.

"Of course, we'll be waiting here for your triumphant return." Yao Guang smiled, his eyes narrowed.

Fu Xuan wanted to say something, but for the moment he couldn't find a reason why Yao Guang had to leave the Astral Express.

In terms of divination and strategy, given the current chaotic situation of several Aeon clashing, the accuracy of divination and prediction based solely on human effort is almost negligible.

In terms of immediate combat power, without using Miraculous Items, Yao Guang has neither Servant nor sufficient combat power to intervene in battles at the Aeon level.

Although Yao Guang was Lord of the Hunt's Seven Generals, her Arbiter Spirit was not suited for battlefield combat.

Sitting in the rear is the most suitable position for Yao Guang.

However, after Fu Xuan's gaze swept back and forth between Yao Guang and Chen Li, a faint trace of worry still appeared on his face.

It wasn't that I was worried about the battle situation, but rather that after I left, these two would become "arm in arm."

"Fu Xuan, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things here." Seemingly sensing Fu Xuan's thoughts, Vita sat down next to Chen Li and gave Fu Xuan a very friendly smile.

"It's precisely because you're here that I'm a little worried." Fu Xuan glanced at Vita with a hint of helplessness.

However, despite her reluctance, Fu Xuan had no choice but to participate in this battle as the Master of the Lord of the Hunt.

Only when the Master uses Command Spell to empower the Noble Phantasm can the true form of the Hunt Aeon, the Lord of the Hunt, deliver a full-force Lord of the Hunt.

Therefore, Fu Xuan had to personally go to the battlefield to restrain that Great Extinguisher... oh no, now it should be called the Aeon of Joy of Guiji.

The trajectory of that Aeon of Joy is said to be able to appear in different places simultaneously, which is indeed quite troublesome. However, if it encounters a causal-level shooting Noble Phantasm like the Lord of the Hunt, even with multiple clones, it would still have to be wary.

From this perspective, the Lord of the Hunt is actually the most suitable being to snipe Guiji.

Furthermore, with the addition of Celenova, who can temporarily draw upon the power of the Harmony Aeon, it is even more suitable to restrain Guiji.

Guiji can split into multiple forms at the same time, right? But no matter how many forms you split, can you still deceive the perception of the Harmony Aeon?

"How is the interrogation of Sparkle Sparkle, Guiji disguised Murata Ryusuke, progressing?" Thinking of this, Fu Xuan turned to look at Feiying.

"Unfortunately, there are no results yet." Feiying shook her head.

"Forget it, I'm not counting on him anymore." Fu Xuan sighed.

It wouldn't be surprising if the Masked Fool did something.

For example, they can suddenly turn the tide when you don't expect anything from them, or they can be completely useless when you expect them to make a contribution.

Although they didn't obtain any more valuable information from Guiji, everyone still left the Astral Express carriages one after another to head to their respective combat posts.

"Couldn't they just put the Astral Express on the ground?" Feiying, feeling a little dizzy from the change in gravity at high altitude after stepping out of the carriage, scratched her head and complained.

"After the Holy Grail War is over, definitely." Chen Li leaned against the carriage door and casually waved to Feiying.

"Then... I'll fire the first shot in this counterattack. I'll show you the results of my twenty minutes of seclusion." World-Painting stood on the edge of the Astral Express platform, tilted her head slightly, and spoke calmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, World-Painting raised her right hand and threw a rolled-up scroll into the sky.

The scroll slowly unfurled in mid-air, like a giant flag fluttering beneath the swirling clouds of Swarm. The brushstrokes on the canvas came alive the moment it unfolded, and grotesque outlines broke free from the two-dimensional canvas, transforming into solid forms.

The beasts poured out of the painting like a raging torrent, sweeping towards the Swarm.

The Swarm clearly sensed this new threat, and the countless Swarm began to converge on the beast herd, with tens of thousands of Propagation insects surging up like a black tide.

But the beasts did not retreat. Instead, as if they had seen a buffet, they charged headlong into the swarm of Swarm with a savage and aggressive manner. Every time their fangs crushed an insect, the Life Force of the swallowed insect was immediately absorbed by the beasts to repair the damage they had suffered in the battle.

Biting, devouring, repairing.

But the Swarm is no pushover. The most terrifying characteristic of the insects that Propagation Aeon is their almost endless reproduction rate.
