The moment Himeko finished speaking, the Observation Car door was pushed open. Ye Yun walked in with Hook, Clara, and Leos.

"Oh, what a coincidence. I just got back, and business is already knocking."

Paimon was delighted by Ye Yun's sudden appearance.

"Ye Yun! You're back!"

Ye Yun nodded and introduced them.

"These two little ones are Hook and Clara. The one behind me is Leos, my spirit."

After saying that, Ye Yun patted Hook and Clara on their little heads.

"These are your Sister Himeko and Uncle Welt. The two beside them are Paimon and your Sister Lumine. Say hello."

The two little ones obediently greeted everyone.

Welt nearly lost his composure when he heard Ye Yun tell the children what to call him.

Why was Himeko their sister, while he was their uncle? Was he really that old?

Likewise, Paimon was a little dissatisfied.

"Why is Lumine 'Sister,' but I just get called by my name?"

Ye Yun ignored Paimon and simply grabbed her by the scruff and placed her beside Hook.

Everyone took one look. Good heavens, Paimon was even shorter than Hook!

Paimon instantly went numb and didn't want to say a word.

Looking dejected, Paimon flew over to Lumine's side.

Why?! Why am I this short?! No way!

Seeing this, Lumine took out a pack of Spicy Strips and tossed it into Paimon's arms.

The moment Paimon saw the Spicy Strips, her expression changed at lightning speed. She immediately grinned and tore open the package to eat.

Everyone couldn't help but smile. Paimon really loved food down to her bones. When dealing with Paimon, delicious food was a guaranteed critical hit.

Ye Yun asked Himeko to watch Hook and Clara for a while, then went over to Lumine.

"You still want the same Unsealing Pill as last time?"

Lumine shook her head.

"Not for now. I want to buy a vehicle, preferably one that can provide a place to rest too."

Ye Yun thought for a moment.

"How about an off-road vehicle?"

Lumine thought it sounded decent. An off-road vehicle had plenty of space and was suitable for driving through the wilderness.

But it wasn't particularly comfortable to live in.

"I want to look around some more. An off-road vehicle is indeed suitable, but it's not quite enough."

Hearing that, Ye Yun said to everyone,

"Come on, let's sit over at my place. Drinks are on me."

The moment Paimon heard someone was treating, she became the most enthusiastic. With Spicy Strips still stuffed in her mouth, she flew over to Ye Yun's side and stared at him.

Soon, everyone arrived at the carriage where Ye Yun's Shop was located.

Ye Yun led Lumine to the Small Bar.

"Take your time choosing. I'll make some drinks."

With that, Ye Yun entered the Small Bar and prepared beverages for everyone.

He made orange juice for the two little ones, Paimon, and Lumine.

He prepared a cappuccino for Himeko, and Longjing Tea for himself and Welt.

Ye Yun called Paimon over first and had her take her orange juice and Lumine's.

Then Ye Yun carried the others' drinks toward the booth area.

As Ye Yun approached, he took a look.

Hook and Clara were currently staring at Himeko with worshipful expressions.

Ye Yun listened closely and found Himeko explaining the Astral Express and the Nameless to the two little ones.

The two little ones were deeply fascinated by the stories of the Nameless.

"Hook, Clara, come drink some orange juice. Brother Ye Yun is busy, so listen to your Sister Himeko, understand?" Ye Yun placed two cups of orange juice in front of them.

The two little ones nodded in agreement.

Ye Yun turned to Himeko.

"Himeko, please take care of the two little ones. I'll help Lumine finish buying her things first."

Himeko smiled.

"It's fine. Hook and Clara are very well-behaved."

Ye Yun nodded in relief and went back to assist Lumine with her shopping.

Ye Yun took a sip of tea and sat on the Bar Stool beside Lumine.

"How is it? Seen anything you like?"

Lumine shook her head, sighed, and spread her hands.

"Nope~"

Ye Yun thought for a moment.

"What about a Motorhome? How about this off-road Motorhome?"

"It comes with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and a small storage room. Both sides can expand outward to add a table and rain awning. It even has a solar power system, and it only costs 2,000 Star Coins."

Lumine looked it over. This Motorhome really was quite suitable.

But she couldn't afford the price. She had just exchanged all her Star Coins, and she only had 1,420 in total.

After returning yesterday, she had been searching for treasure chests nonstop. Luckily, she had bought an Unsealing Pill yesterday to unseal her strength. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to obtain so many Primogems.

"I'd better look at something else."

Ye Yun caught the fleeting embarrassment on Lumine's face.

"What? Not enough money? You can write me an IOU. No interest."

Ye Yun had considerable faith in Lumine's ability to earn Star Coins.

After all, Lumine possessed an invincible passive skill: "Never miss a single treasure chest in sight."

Lumine was instantly delighted when she heard that.

"Really? I really am a little short."

Ye Yun nodded.

"Of course. How much are you short?"

Lumine took out all her Star Coins.

"There, this is everything I have. 1,420 in total."

Ye Yun accepted Lumine's 1,420 Star Coins, then took out another 580 to cover the rest for her.

Ye Yun then snapped his fingers, summoning a Motorhome wrapped in bubbles.

"So, what do you say? Shall we head over to your side now?"

Lumine was a little surprised.

"You can go to my world too?"

Ye Yun nodded.

"Of course. Others can go too, but they have to pass through a Teleportation Portal I open. The ones you open won't work."

Himeko and Welt both turned their gazes toward him.

Welt closed the book in his hands.

"Ye Yun, can you take us to Lumine's world?"

Ye Yun nodded.

"I can. What do you say? Want to go take a look?"

Welt was tempted. He had originally wanted to join this Trailblaze Journey, but he had been unable to go in order to train the newcomers.

Now that he had a chance to get off the train and look around, he couldn't let it slip away.

But someone had to stay behind to watch the train.

Seeing Welt's troubled expression, Himeko smiled.

"Welt, you go. I'll watch the train. It'll be fine."

Welt shook his head.

"You should go instead. I'll stay and guard the train."

Just as Himeko was about to keep insisting that Welt go, Ye Yun interrupted.

"Enough. You two can go together. As for the train—"

Ye Yun turned to look at Leos, who was standing by the window and gazing at the sea of stars.

"Leos, watch this train for me."

Leos turned around.

"No problem. Leave it to me."

Ye Yun nodded, then turned back to Himeko and Welt.

"Don't worry. Leos is a Half-step Emissary. With him here, nothing will happen to the train."

Himeko was somewhat surprised upon hearing of Leos's strength.

Just now, all her attention had been on Hook and Clara, and she had forgotten about this fire deer Ye Yun called a "spirit."

And besides.

Wasn't Ye Yun's strength a little strange too? When they had set out yesterday, he had clearly only been a High-tier Pathfinder.

In just one day, he had become an Emissary?

Thank you, big shots, for your votes. This book has passed signing, and its status will probably change tomorrow. If you can invest, hurry up and do it—you can earn over a hundred Qidian Coins.
