"Looks like you have quite a talent for naming things," Firefly teased. "So... and then?" Jintiao's eyes were still somewhat lost. "Just pursue what you want," Hanxing encouraged from the side. "But before that, we have an invitation for you."
"What's wrong?" Jintiao asked, puzzled. "My wedding with Firefly is coming up, and I'd like to invite you." "26710... you?" Jintiao's voice was somewhat surprised. "Alright, we both have names now, so let's call each other by name." Firefly smiled, "So you're my fiancé. In a way, you're like my older sister."
"So... have you decided where to hold it?" Jintiao asked doubtfully. "Of course," Firefly said confidently, "We've already handed over the preparations to Silver Wolf." " Silver Wolf? Who's that?" Jintiao asked again. "Our companion," Hanxing explained. "But... I have no way of knowing where it is."
Hanxing spread his five fingers, and a beam of light appeared. As his fingers swept across the surface, a map of the " Golden Hour " materialized from the void, with a prominent mark placed at their chosen location. "Take it, and we'll send you back to the ' Golden Hour '."
"Okay." Jintiao nodded obediently. Hanxing flicked her finger, and a spatial portal instantly appeared. The three of them stepped out and arrived at a bustling street. "The ' Golden Hour '... it's truly nostalgic. It hasn't changed much since then."
"The wedding is the day after tomorrow. You can wander around here and get used to your new body." Hanxing smiled, looking at Jintiao. "Okay, I'll be going now. Thank you." Jintiao smiled, and her figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"So... what do we do next?" Firefly, a little confused. "Let's go buy you fireworks," Hanxing smiled. "Come on, it's on me." "Okay--" Firefly nodded excitedly, and the two walked towards the fireworks shop.
"Come on, take a look and see what you want to buy, don't be shy." Hanxing looked at the dazzling array of goods. "Fairy wands... rockets... what are all these?" Firefly looked at the goods with a bit of confusion. "If you can't choose, then leave it to me." Hanxing walked into the store and pointed to the items around her. "Boss, I'll take all of these."
"Alright, sir, card or cash?" Why would the shopkeeper refuse such a windfall? "Mobile payment," Hanxing replied. "50,000 Credits in total. Just swipe it over there."
Hanxing didn't say much, casually swiping her hand: "Wrap this up for me to take away." "Okay." The shopkeeper busied himself, and soon finished packing up the pile of fireworks, handing them to Hanxing. "Goodbye, sir, welcome back next time--"
"Next, let's go find the Astral Express Crew." Hanxing casually opened a spatial portal and pulled Firefly along to where the Astral Express Crew was gathered.
"Distinguished guests, the Family members, ladies and gentlemen," Robin's voice rang out on the stage. "It is a great pleasure to gather here to celebrate Penacony's most solemn ceremony of this Amber Era, the Charmony Festival. First of all, on behalf of the Penacony branch and its Five Families... and in my own name, I extend a warm welcome to all of you."
"Why are you here so suddenly? Our contract should be almost over, right?" Qiong turned to look at Hanxing. "Don't worry, I mean no harm this time." Hanxing smiled, "I just wanted to give you an invitation and a request."
"Since you've helped us so much, tell us what you've got to say?" Qiong smiled and spoke to Hanxing. "The request is that you allocate a space for us on the ship. And the invitation is to invite everyone in the Astral Express Crew to my wedding with Firefly."
"You two... well, actually you're quite a good match." Qiong smiled. "I wish you a long and happy life together. We accepted the invitation, but we might not be able to fulfill your request. After all, this ship belongs to the Family, and we don't have that much power."
"As you've probably noticed, this year's Charmony Festival is extraordinary. Thanks to the efforts of all the major factions, this grand event is unprecedented in scale, with factions from across the entire galaxy invited..." Robin continued speaking on stage, seemingly oblivious to the situation here. "Furthermore, the opening ceremony, which is traditionally held at the Penacony Grand Theater, will now be held on the ' The Radiant Feldspar' —the very airship beneath your feet—"
"Let us give a warm round of applause and our sincerest gratitude to Otti Everfar, the head of the Alfalfa Family, for his selfless dedication to the cause of ' Harmony '! So, what makes this ceremony so significant? As we all know, the ' The Radiant Feldspar ' was forced to stop sailing due to an unexpected event in a dream, which sparked heated discussions at the Reverie..."
"But Penacony, we finally got the dream back on track. And with the Charmony Festival coinciding, it's a double blessing, giving the ' The Radiant Feldspar's' relaunch a new meaning. Finally, there's another reason—ladies and gentlemen, do you remember ' The Watchmaker '? In fact, the Family's meticulous planning for this grand event was also to commemorate this legendary tycoon—"
" Lagwork Charles Mikhail, the 'Father of Penacony,' was one of the Nameless heroes who laid the foundation for Penacony! During the most confusing years of the Planet of Festivities, he and his partners descended from the heavens, teaching us the meaning of freedom through ' Trailblaze '; it was their pioneering spirit in the development of dreams that brought us the Harmony paradise we enjoy today."
"It can be said that Penacony's remarkable achievements today are inseparable from the ' Trailblaze ' spirit deeply rooted in our hearts as ' Watchmaker.' Only by remembering this spirit of ' Trailblaze ' can we live up to our mission and bring ' Harmony ' to more people."
"Hehe... that sounds so nice, just like us!" March 7th said excitedly from the side. "We haven't even talked about us yet..." Qiong said speechlessly from the side. "Oh dear, on the Astral Express, whether you're a veteran or a newcomer, we're all family! Why be so formal~" After their little bickering, the two looked in the direction of the Robin.
"And the fact that this dream has been able to return to normal is also inseparable from the help of ' Trailblaze '. Without everyone on the Astral Express, this Charmony Festival would not have been able to proceed smoothly—therefore, with the unanimous agreement of the Five Families, the Penacony branch will present a gift to all the Nameless on behalf of all the Family members in the galaxy—"
"Oh, oh, oh... Is the big one coming?" March 7th's voice grew increasingly excited.
The Robin's voice paused, then it uttered words that shocked the entire audience. "--We are willing to transfer ownership of the ' The Radiant Feldspar ' to the Astral Express! We hope you will accept this humble offer."
