"It's just adding a touch of Eternity to the ashes of Destruction," Ye Yan, sipping his milk tea and gently stroking the cup with his fingers.
He looked languid, then shook his head slightly, commenting with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, this soft green light just doesn't suit the cozy atmosphere of my little milk tea shop."
Feixiao then had an idea. "How about turning the seven Lord Ravager under the Author of the Ember's Desolation into chandeliers?"
After hearing this, Ye Yan put down his cup, couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Feixiao, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes:
"The guy who can come up with such a brilliant idea without batting an eye, [ Elation ] Aha, if he hadn't been sneaking a glance at you from somewhere, I'd really suspect he was asleep."
Ye Yan stroked his chin. These days, Aha hadn't made a sound at all; he must have been secretly up to something big.
"Just a spontaneous thought..." Feixiao tilted his head slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the wall, looking towards the distant sea of stars. His sharp edge softened, taking on a chilling quality etched into his very bones.
"From the day I joined the army, I swore an oath to spend the rest of my life as the spearhead of the Xianzhou, aimed at the Abominations of Abundance."
"A fine ambition. Since your arrows have already been bathed in the glory of [ Eternity ] and [ The Hunt ], why not also aim their sharpness at those who sow the seeds of [ Destruction ]?"
Ye Yan leaned forward slightly, resting his chin on one hand, gazing at Feixiao with great interest.
"That's exactly what I was thinking, but the [ Church of Eternity ] hasn't given me a clear answer yet."
Feixiao said that the remnants of the Medicine King in the Xianzhou Luofu have risen from the ashes, and behind every single one of these incidents, there is the shadow of the Lord Ravager named [ Phantylia ].
To stop the entropy poison of the Extinction Legion from spreading throughout the Xianzhou Alliance... In addition to purging the Abominations of Abundance, Feixiao also plans to shoot down a Lord Ravager, so that the Antimatter Legion will understand the meaning of [ The Hunt ].
As for which [ Lord Ravager ] it was... Feixiao's cold gaze swept across the void. Phantylia had already been imprisoned here, transformed into a chandelier.
The only [ Destruction ] Emanator with a history of connection to the Immortal Xianzhou Alliance is [ Celenova ].
Therefore, Feixiao specifically sent a message to the [ Church of Eternity ] a few days before arriving in Luofu, but has yet to receive a response. Could it be due to a delay in the interstellar network?
"Ah... I see."
Ye Yan nodded thoughtfully, then closed his eyes, as if sensing something.
A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes. Stardust seemed to swirl in his deep eyes, and a smile quietly crept onto the corners of his mouth, mostly concealed by the milk tea cup.
"I have..." He put down his cup, his voice gentle and persuasive, looking directly at Feixiao, "I do have a pretty good suggestion, would you like to hear it?"
"Huh?" Feixiao looked at Ye Yan with slight surprise.
The scene shifts again, this time to the milk tea shop located in the Central Starskiff Haven, directly opposite the [ Sleepless Earl ] teahouse.
Feixiao stood with her back to the two visitors who had just entered— Moze and Jiaoqiu. Her back was straight as a spear as she gazed thoughtfully at the bustling street scene outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.
"You're back? You've seen Jing Yuan and wandered around for a few hours. What are your thoughts?" She didn't turn around; her voice broke the silence of the shop.
"In my opinion, Divine General wanted to use the Wardance [to demonstrate strength] and prove that Luofu was peaceful and prosperous after the Ambrosial Arbor disaster..."
Jiaoqiu didn't care about the somewhat unusual meeting place and went straight to the point.
"[However]... you're going to say [however] next, right?" Feixiao raised an eyebrow before he could finish speaking, and preemptively said what Jiaoqiu was going to say next.
Jiaoqiu's expression turned serious. "However, the crowds that surge in with the Wardance are the biggest conduits for unease and rumors. One wrong move, and chaos ensues."
" The Cloud Knights on the street are quite alert, which shows that the general understands this principle. As for anything else, I can't see it."
Moze stood with his arms crossed, leaning against a decorative pillar, his gaze meeting Feixiao's directly and frankly, his tone as crisp and decisive as his personality.
"And... why did you choose this bubble tea shop as the meeting place?"
"Sigh~ Please spare me from such a good job of meeting the general again." Jiaoqiu sighed, her tone full of helplessness. "How did I, a mere army medic, end up being pushed to the forefront, chatting and laughing with two generals?"
"My job is not suited for public appearances."
"Yes, that's why I chose this place." Feixiao answered Moze's question first, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table. She looked around the somewhat secluded shop, her tone carrying a hint of meaning, "The location is quite remote, and the choice of location... is also quite deliberate." As she spoke, her gaze seemed to casually sweep over the eerie green chandelier on the ceiling.
"The Eternity Emanator's thought process... is unfathomable." Jiaoqiu glanced at the empty bar counter and muttered to herself, her tone filled with understanding and a hint of awe.
"So stop complaining, I don't see any extra holes in either of you."
"Before making contact, I want to set aside my adult perspective and observe the [forces] that both sides have developed before making a judgment. These forces, naturally, are the appearance of the Cloud Knights on the streets, public opinion, and the behavior of those close to him."
"The strength of an army does not lie in its soldiers, but in its overall momentum. Understanding the strength of an army reveals its true power. Your words, General, have been of great benefit to me."
"A perfectly fine sentence in plain language, but after your translation, even I can't understand it. Anyway, this is my habit when I'm fighting, and you all should get used to it too."
Jiaoqiu asked with a smile, "Are you judging General Jing Yuan as an enemy?"
"The general who led the army for the longest time on the Xianzhou Luofu, how could he have few enemies?"
Feixiao understood that her only enemy was herself.
So... why isn't the shop owner here?
Jiaoqiu glanced helplessly at Moze, "You brat... do you even know how to read the room?"
At the same time, the Artisanship Commission
"Over the past few days, I've suffered countless defeats and have long understood the saying, 'There are always people more capable than you.'"
Yanqing lowered his head and said in a dejected tone.
"But after witnessing General Feixiao's skills today, I'm starting to feel uneasy again," Yanqing said with concern.
"There's no need to underestimate yourself. After all, the general won't be participating in the Wardance. Just remember the mindset you had when you challenged me and Ren single-handedly, disregarding life and death. That's enough to defeat most challengers."
"I understand, thank you for your guidance, Teacher Dan Heng! Today's matter is finally over. My general would like to invite everyone to the Seat of Divine Foresight for a chat, as he says there are important matters to discuss."
Xing seemed to be deep in thought. Jing Yuan's second invitation was probably to discuss how to deal with the arrival of Yaoqing and General Zhuming.
"Alas, Yanqing doesn't want to experience the scheming and intrigue of adults so early... I only hope that Generals Feixiao and Huaiyan can see the truth clearly."
"We must avoid any further trouble on Luofu before the Wardance arrives," Yanqing said.
"That's it! People who say things like that are usually about to experience something terrible!"
"Confirmed to be due to reading too many novels, March 7th."
