[Little Gui's Livestream]
Just moments ago, at the Seat of Divine Foresight, March 7th's apprenticeship plan was finalized.
It was expected that March 7th's training journey would soon begin.
However, at this moment.
A line of text appeared on the screen.
[In Aurum Alley, Feixiao awaited her long-lost comrade.]
Little Gui was stunned.
She rubbed her chin, speculating, "Feixiao actually has an old comrade?"
"I thought she was just making an excuse to slip away."
As soon as she finished speaking.
A corner of Aurum Alley appeared on the screen.
Feixiao was waiting under an ancient tree.
A foxian woman strolled leisurely to meet her.
"To have the famous General Feixiao wait for me for so long, I've certainly gained quite the honor. It's been a long time, General Feixiao."
Yukong!
It really was Yukong!
Earlier, Guinaifen had thought that Feixiao and Yukong's styles were quite similar!
Both were those cool foxian big sisters!
The kind you just want to hug their thighs!
She had even hoped they could get to know each other.
Who would have thought!
These two were already old friends in private!
Double the joy for fans!
And Feixiao's next words shocked Guinaifen even more!
"Sister Yukong, it's been almost thirty years since we last met, hasn't it?"
...
"Sister Yukong?"
"That 'sister' sounds so sweet."
"Didn't expect Feixiao to be younger than Yukong?"
"Yukong isn't exactly young anymore, foxians don't have long lifespans, and she's already nearing retirement age."
"In that case, I'm still young, I'll sacrifice myself, I'm willing to take care of Yukong in her twilight years."
"She'll probably outlive you."
"How bold!"
"Open the door, Luofu Cloud Knights!"
...
Guinaifen continued to focus on their conversation.
Yukong nodded and replied, "Yes, thirty years ago, you were the vanguard of the Yaoqing Qingqiu Army, and I was a pilot of the Luofu Chuihong Guard. Who would have thought that when we meet again, you've become a general, and I've given up flying... Thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime has passed."
As her words fell.
The chat instantly flooded with [Because I have already touched the sky]!
Clearly.
Yukong's Companion Mission left a deep impression on many players.
Because of this.
Yukong in real life has earned the respect and affection of numerous players.
"Actually, it's not like we haven't seen each other in thirty years. After all, the Huangzhong Resonance System broadcasts your triumphant battle reports every day, so I've been able to witness your unstoppable prowess daily... How is your health?"
The two exchanged pleasantries.
Their relationship hadn't grown distant despite the changes in their respective statuses.
Soon.
Yukong got to the heart of the matter.
"I'm relieved to know you're safe and sound. So, this time, you and Elder Huaiyan have come here under the Marshal's orders, haven't you?"
"Feixiao, as a friend, can you tell me how the Alliance plans to punish the General of Luofu?"
Feixiao didn't hold back and said directly, "The rebirth of the Ambrosial Arbor has frightened those old-timers who are used to hiding behind the scenes... They fear that the calamities will return, just like they did thirty years ago."
"Although Luofu submitted a report explaining the whole story, there are still many missing details about whether the invasion of the Ember Extinguishing Army truly happened, how the Stellaron Hunters and the Astral Express got involved, and so on."
"You must also know that Jingliu, a fugitive who had disappeared for years, has reappeared. This time, she brought an outsider and a coffin, claiming to offer the Marshal a method to contend with the gods."
"The Preceptors of Luofu have also accused Jing Yuan of disregarding the alliance, saying that he allowed the High Elder Imbibitor Lunae, who had been exiled, to return to Luofu, open the ancient sea of Scalegorge Waterscape, and interfere with the Zhiming's duty to guard the Ambrosial Arbor."
"These are all the reasons why I had to come to the Xianzhou Luofu today."
These issues were highly sensitive, but since Honkai: Star Rail had broadcasted them.
The players no longer needed to hold back.
The chat was ablaze with discussions.
...
"Jingliu: Go on, I have no objections."
"The coffin was specifically mentioned here—it's definitely going to play a significant role later!"
"Jingliu, Luocha, what exactly are you two planning?!"
"Xianzhou: It's fine, I'm used to it."
"The Preceptors colluded with outsiders and now they're accusing Jing Yuan?"
"Damn it, the Preceptors are always stirring up trouble! It's so infuriating! Can't they get their comeuppance in the story?"
"Our Astral Express Crew is very principled. Even if we encountered the Preceptors face-to-face, we probably wouldn't act rashly."
...
Yukong showed a look of apology. "I understand, I'm sorry for being out of line. I know I shouldn't speak up in defense of General Jing Yuan now... but you know my personality."
"Since the end of the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae, Luofu has enjoyed centuries of peace, and much of that is thanks to General Jing Yuan's planning."
"Unfortunately, for long-life species, as long as they live long enough, they will inevitably face failures that destroy everything accumulated in the past—the enemies are waiting for that moment."
Feixiao nodded. "Well said. That's why I'm here for another purpose this time: to visit Hoolay."
As soon as the name "Hoolay" was spoken.
The scene abruptly shifted!
What appeared was Hoolay, bound by chains and shackles in a dim prison cell!
"The sworn enemy of the foxians, never to be pardoned, until the heavens and earth crumble... I can't remember all the verdict, but that's the gist of it."
"The foxians and the Xianzhou Alliance have vowed to eradicate the abominations together. Besides liberating our kin, we also seek justice: that fanged beast should be locked away in The Shackling Prison forever, enduring punishment day after day."
"Given the situation in Luofu, there's considerable concern within Yaoqing about Hoolay's imprisonment. The routine inspections every hundred years are no longer enough to ease the worries of the old-timers."
"I was sent to reassure them."
Yukong sighed.
"Nothing but bad news."
"Not entirely. At least, many things might not be as bad as you think. The target you asked me to find has already been located."
As soon as Feixiao spoke.
Countless players, including Little Gui, immediately perked up like startled rabbits!
No way?
Could it be...!
"The Qingqiu Army, following the route you provided, found the wreckage of the Minghuo Merchant Guild's ship. Unfortunately, there were no goods or survivors aboard."
At this moment.
Countless players across the universe held their breath in shock!
But then.
Feixiao swiftly changed the subject!
"However, before we could locate the crash site, someone had already been there."
"Was it one of our people? Or someone from the company?" Yukong quickly pressed for answers.
"Neither. Yukong, have you heard of Ruan Mei (Genius Society #81)?"
...
"Tingyun!!!!"
"Wuwuwuwu my fox fairy girl…"
"Prison Yun: Kids, I'm about to win the resurrection match~"
"Yukong genuinely cares for Tingyun. Her tone changed the moment she heard news about her."
"What?! It's really Ruan Mei?"
"Picked up by Ruan Mei? Tingyun in cat cake form, charge~"
"Who remembers that Big Sister Himeko wanted to send Leviathan remains to Ruan Mei at the beginning?"
"Wow, it's all foreshadowing!"
"Don't tell me they're going to combine Prison Yun with Leviathan remains for a rebirth (sad)"
"Prison Yun: Kids, I'm about to become an ancient god."
"Can you guys stop making Ruan Mei out to be some kind of maniac? Maybe she just saved Tingyun and helped heal her injuries? …Okay, even I don't believe that."
"By the time she comes back, even her genes will have changed (sad)"
"It's over! Stellar Fox Insect Tingyun Power!"
