"General, are we really going to send the Vidyadhara High Elder to him?"
On the way back, Yukong found herself thinking about many things.
She couldn't understand what a white-haired fox girl had to do with the Healer Lady Dragon.
All she knew was that Bailu was the current Vidyadhara High Elder.
How could they casually hand someone like that over to another person?
"Yukong, don't underestimate people's desires."
Though there was admittedly a degree of selfishness involved, Jing Yuan also understood something clearly—
If Bailu could truly be sent to Su Ran's side,
then the Alchemy Commission wouldn't object much at all.
Because they too desperately longed for a cure to mara.
If mara could be cured, then the blessing of Yaoshi would no longer be a curse.
No one would reject such a possibility.
Not even Jing Yuan himself.
So once there was even the slightest chance to send Bailu to Su Ran—
Those people wouldn't oppose it.
Instead, they would do everything possible to make it happen.
Even if the Dragon Elders objected, others would find ways to force them to agree.
After all—
Immortality without side effects was simply too important to the Xianzhou people.
Not only ordinary Xianzhou natives—
Even the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus desired it.
"Mhm. Then what about that Lord Ravager?"
That was what Yukong cared about most.
That person was the mastermind behind Tingyun's death.
Yukong honestly wanted nothing more than to skin them alive.
Unfortunately—
The enemy was a Lord Ravager.
She simply lacked the power.
"Do nothing for now. We absolutely must not alert the enemy."
If they rashly disturbed that individual—
Things would become troublesome.
At this moment, Jing Yuan finally understood why Su Ran had insisted Fu Xuan leave earlier.
With her temperament, she probably would've exposed everything within minutes.
"Yukong, remember—do not act on impulse."
Truthfully, Jing Yuan was already beginning to regret bringing Yukong along.
He knew perfectly well that the Sky-Faring Commission's Helm Master had once been quite the hotheaded youth herself.
Even though she had matured considerably over the years—
He still genuinely feared she might lose control of her emotions the moment she saw that Lord Ravager.
"I know."
Yukong understood Jing Yuan's concerns very well.
"General, there is still one thing I don't understand."
"What does the Healer Lady Dragon have to do with a white-haired fox girl?"
She did know one white-haired fox girl—
But that one was on the Xianzhou Yaoqing, not here.
"This matter involves too much."
"If you truly wish to know, then wait until all this is over. I'll explain it to you then."
There was nothing preventing Jing Yuan from telling Yukong about Bailu.
But with so many urgent matters at hand—
He had no desire to explain everything right now.
Besides—
Baiheng wasn't entirely white-haired either.
Her hair color leaned slightly toward purple...
Still, if Su Ran really liked white-haired fox girls—
Jing Yuan could always introduce him to that one from the Yaoqing.
Stelle: Damn it, the Luofu's gates aren't opening! How are we supposed to get in?
The Astral Express crew had already arrived at the halted Xianzhou Luofu.
Unfortunately, the tightly sealed Jade Gate blocked their entry.
Thus, they had no choice but to seek Su Ran's help.
After all, the only reason they came here in the first place was because Su Ran requested it.
Otherwise, the Express would've already reached Penacony by now.
"They got here fast."
Su Ran sent Jing Yuan a message.
The reinforcements have arrived. Open the gates immediately.
While returning to the Seat of Divine Foresight, Jing Yuan saw the message and immediately brightened.
"The reinforcements have arrived."
"So that Genius truly wasn't lying."
"Yukong, hurry back and see exactly what sort of allies have come."
Anyone worthy of being called "reinforcements" by Su Ran—
Couldn't possibly be ordinary.
If they truly possessed the confidence to help the Luofu defeat a Lord Ravager,
then they certainly weren't weak.
Aboard the Astral Express, everyone waited for the Jade Gate to open.
Unfortunately—
Nothing happened for quite a while.
Just as they were beginning to wonder what was going on—
The Jade Gate slowly opened on its own.
Son~ Your mom and I are waiting for you~
Su Ran sent Stelle a photo.
It showed himself and Kafka standing together.
In his arms was a white-haired, red-eyed little girl.
Stelle: So I really was just an accident?
You two left your precious eldest daughter wandering outside scavenging through trash to survive—
And meanwhile, you secretly made me a little sister?!
Still…
Looking at Clara's timid appearance—
Stelle nearly started drooling.
"So cute… A little sister like this is acceptable…"
White hair.
Red eyes.
No matter how she looked at her, she was absolutely adorable.
Stelle approved.
What fault could a little sister possibly have?
The real people at fault were these irresponsible parents!
"What are you staring at? We're about to move out!"
Seeing Stelle still glued to her phone, March 7th couldn't help urging her on.
"Coming!"
Since Su Ran said they were waiting for her—
Didn't that mean they were already inside?
And if they were inside—
Then her little sister must be there too?
Stelle suddenly grew impatient with excitement.
"Why is it only the two of you in that photo?"
The Tsaritsa sounded somewhat dissatisfied.
Taking pictures was one thing—
But why was he hugging a little girl too?
"Then let's take one together."
Still holding Clara, Su Ran pulled the Tsaritsa over and snapped another photo.
"Serval, come here too."
He crooked a finger toward her.
"I'm included too?"
Just like that, Clara somehow ended up taking three photos in total.
Afterward, Su Ran had the pictures printed out and handed them to Clara.
Looking at the photos, Clara carefully treasured them away.
Though she still wasn't very familiar with the three older sisters—
She still intended to cherish these precious memories properly.
"Alright, business is mostly finished. Let's go out and walk around."
Now that they were on the Luofu, they couldn't just stay cooped up indoors forever.
Even if he didn't mind, the others certainly would.
Serval and Clara had come specifically to sightsee and have fun.
As for the Tsaritsa—
She also wanted to properly experience the world beyond her own.
There was no way she intended to remain shut inside a room all day.
This wasn't the familiar land of Snezhnaya, after all.
"Do I have to go too?"
"My wanted posters are all over the Luofu's streets right now."
Noticing Su Ran looking toward her, Kafka refused immediately.
Even if she wasn't the real culprit anymore—
The bounty posters hadn't been removed.
And her bounty itself was astronomical.
Even if turning her over to the Shackling Prison was pointless—
Handing her to the IPC would still earn a massive reward.
"If it's just a tool for altering common perception…"
"That's still something I can make."
