"Huh..."
"Why are these players more anxious than I am?"
Feixiao couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.
Just a day ago.
Most players in the universe had no idea what kind of person Feixiao was.
But now, through the previews,
Through the main storyline.
These players seem to have all become her closest friends!
They're practically willing to scour the heavens and earth to find a cure for her!
Is this the influence of Honkai: Star Rail?
At this moment.
Her character in the story also spoke.
Her expression was calm.
Yet with a hint of seriousness.
She said, "Jiaoqiu, life and death are predestined."
"From the day I joined the military, I vowed to become the Arrows of Xianzhou, aimed at the Abomination of Abundance."
She spoke these words softly.
Yet they carried an extraordinary weight!
The background music suddenly ignited!
The drums began to beat!
A triumphant melody played!
The scene also shifted abruptly.
In the image, Feixiao stood on a battlefield.
Broken iron swords, tattered military flags… all bore witness to the brutality of this battle.
And Feixiao stood tall in the center of the battlefield.
Gazing at the sky, one hand pointed toward a dazzling meteor streaking across the heavens!
"As long as I can fulfill this lifelong wish, I don't care how long I live after that."
...
"Isn't that the light arrow of the Emperor's Bow!?"
"Before Seeing That Light Again"
"As expected of the Emperor's Bow's strict selection, each of the Seven Generals has such a distinct personality! It's impossible not to love them!"
"Feixiao is so powerful and free-spirited, I want to pull for her!"
"This isn't her showing off or lamenting, she's truly living by these words through her actions!"
"A woman among women, a general among generals!"
"So cool, I never imagined a foxian could be this cool, this strong, this dashing!"
...
The brief flashback faded.
Feixiao turned around.
And said to Jiaoqiu, "You just said I see Jing Yuan as an enemy… no, my only enemy has always been myself."
She nailed it again!
Jiaoqiu was momentarily stunned.
As if he was trying to think of something to say to match the General's words.
Then, Mokze asked with a serious expression, "Let's eat something good, so… what are we having for dinner?"
"You… do you even know how to read the mood?"
Jiaoqiu's eyes widened.
He glared at Mokze.
Feixiao, however, didn't mind.
"You two figure it out yourselves, I have a meeting with an old comrade I haven't seen in years."
...
"?"
"I can't hold it in anymore."
"Is Mokze just waiting to feast at Feixiao's funeral? (doge"
"Since it's come to this, let's eat first."
"Isn't this just me?"
"Was he always like this?"
"Mokze's character is ruined."
"Alright, from now on you're the Honkai: Star Rail foodie guy."
...
Astral Express.
"Where's my new form? Where's my new form!"
March 7th seemed to be in a trance.
She had been muttering to herself for quite a while.
Stelle walked over and patted her on the shoulder.
Teasing, "Is it the konjac jelly acting up?"
"No!"
March 7th was visibly excited,
"How long has it been since this storyline passed?"
"Where's the promised new form for March 7th?"
"I've been looking forward to it since the version update and the main storyline started!"
"And after all this time, there's still no sign of it."
"Was that [genius rookie swordsman] teaser just a smokescreen?"
"Wuwuwu, Yu Ling, you've done nothing but bad things!"
"..."
Stelle was momentarily at a loss for words to comfort her.
It was clear.
March 7th cared deeply about this matter.
"It's okay, believe in Yu Ling!"
"Besides, it hasn't been that long since the plot progressed, right?"
"Hoolay hasn't even started his prison break yet."
March 7th instantly slumped down.
"Uh..."
"You're right."
They continued to watch the plot.
After helping Yanqing complete the task assigned by Jing Yuan.
The Astral Express Crew arrived at the Seat of Divine Foresight.
This time, it was Jing Yuan himself who invited them, giving the Astral Express Crew the role of third-party witnesses.
Upon entering the grand hall.
They saw Jing Yuan conversing with Huaiyan on the majestic main platform.
"Earlier at the Palace of Astrum, I had already introduced the guests of the Astral Express to Elder Huaiyan. However, with so many ears around, we could only exchange pleasantries. Now, I formally introduce these three to Elder Huaiyan."
As he spoke,
Jing Yuan looked at the three members of the Astral Express Crew who had just arrived.
"These three braved great dangers, accompanying Jing Yuan through life and death, driving out the chief villain Phantylia, and exposing the schemes of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. Elder Huaiyan, if there are any details you wish to know, feel free to ask."
Huaiyan gently stroked his goat-like beard,
and spoke: "Regarding the revival of the Ambrosial Arbor, I have read the series of reports submitted to the Alliance by the Grand Diviner Fu Xuan. She herself has been summoned to Yuque for questioning. There are many doubts within the Alliance about this matter..."
"...But I trust you."
Beneath his bamboo hat.
A pair of aged but bright eyes looked at Jing Yuan.
Huaiyan continued:
"Since you joined the military, you have repeatedly achieved great feats. After the High-Cloud Quintet each faded into obscurity, despite the many criticisms within the Alliance, the Marshal still overruled the dissent and entrusted Luofu to you."
"Over the years, you have devoted your loyalty and wisdom to the Alliance. Defeating the abominations of Thalassa, lifting the siege of Yuque Xianzhou, destroying the demon star summoned by the Abundance... I still remember all these major battles."
"Some worms doubt your loyalty, assume you are foolish and incompetent. They delight in seeing the Divine Foresight make mistakes because that is their nature—achieving nothing themselves, only craving to witness the failures of others as sustenance for their own survival."
...
"Truly worthy of General Huaiyan! His words are so sharp!"
"Well said!"
"The Marshal overruled the dissent, and Jing Yuan truly has not let down the Xianzhou Alliance!"
"Like clouds shielding the sky, protecting the Xianzhou!!"
"This sentence is destined to be written into textbooks!"
"This made me tear up, wuwuwu, the old general knows how hard it has been for Jing Yuan, wuwuwu..."
"General Huaiyan here is like a super fan of Jing Yuan (?"
...
Both Stelle and March 7th were amazed by Huaiyan's words.
This old general didn't have much screen time.
But every time he spoke seriously and expressed his attitude, it always commanded respect!
He was a true wise man!
Beside them, Dan Heng's lips curled slightly.
He felt happy for the recognition Jing Yuan now received.
Hadn't he been the same back then?
Once living only as the shadow of Imbibitor Lunae.
Exiled by the Xianzhou for years, hunted by enemies.
And now.
Having experienced the storyline of Honkai: Star Rail...
Countless players across the universe have seen it clearly.
He is not Dan Feng.
But the Nameless—Dan Heng!
The developer of Star Rail, Yu Ling.
He has resolved many misunderstandings and regrets in this world!
Truly making this universe a better place.
Suddenly.
A scream in his ear interrupted Dan Heng's thoughts!
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
"It's coming!!!"
It was March 7th.
She was pointing excitedly at the screen.
It seemed the latest storyline had finally turned its attention to her.
Dan Heng also looked at the big screen.
Huaiyan was saying, "Just now, I noticed Miss March was quite interested in your sword duel. Why don't you two teach her the basics of swordsmanship?"
Stelle nodded, "That way, I won't have to worry about you shooting me in the butt every time."
"I've always been a good shot!"
...
"March: Danger!"
"March 7th: It's over, I'll never casually spectate again!"
"New form unlocked!"
"March 7th, the Swordmaster of the Astral Express."
"Become the Astral Express's Top Swordsman"
"From zero to hero in Xianzhou swordsmanship."
"Case closed, this is our genius rookie swordsman March 7th!"
"March 7th is finally becoming a five-star character... right?"
"Curious what her skill effects will look like!"
"I hope Yu Ling makes my March look cool, she's just too silly..."
...
