Where do the gods reside? When walking in the air, the answer naturally comes to mind—the starry sea.
Like fireflies, the scattered stars floated in the sky, glowing even in the early morning. Last night, when the five of them were sitting by the window waiting for Toy to give them haircuts and skincare, they saw the starry sea reversed, as Yu Dun had described.
At night, these scattered stars converge into a river, surging and rushing across the dark blue night sky. They rush towards the abode of every deity, circling around them, and sometimes transforming into special forms such as butterfly wings, flower branches, candle flames, and fox tails to decorate the islands of the deities.
The scenery was so beautiful, a true marvel of nature, that the five of them couldn't help but discuss their feelings as they ran back to the classroom. Once back in the classroom, they opened all the windows.
The distance between Toy Palace and Cloud Palace Flower Island is not too far. Even if the player's current average attribute is reduced to only 1000, it will only take half an hour to fly there.
During the journey, the Dull Flying Ball continued to circle around the player, launching sneak attacks from time to time.
Yu Xunge pushed up his glasses. This toy is called "Dull Glasses V"... At least half of the toys in the toy palace start with "Dull," like a brand.
In comparison, the bagpipe named "Rain in the Wind" seemed like an accident. It's unclear whether Yu Dun just happened to have the inspiration for the name at the time, or whether she heard the sound of rain from an old friend while experimenting with the bagpipe's effects.
The closer they got to the flower island, the more often Fuxiao Chichan watched Zaijiu Xunge. It wasn't just her; the other players did the same. Even the usually taciturn and literary-minded Fury Prayer would steal glances at her from time to time.
At dawn, the flower branch that held the cicada tapped her right shoulder. The fragrant branch turned its head and looked at its own flower branch with a puzzled expression, while also glancing casually at Zaijiu Xunge.
"..." Yu Xunge was waiting when the cicada-like flower branch started acting up again at dawn. The moment the cicada looked over, she looked straight back at it and asked, "What are you looking at?"
After a brief moment of awkwardness, Fuxiao Xianchan stopped pretending and asked, "Do you feel guilty?"
"What are you feeling guilty about?"
"She saved you in those tranquil mountains, didn't she? It's just that you didn't like the way she did it, but you still retaliated against her. Don't you feel guilty?"
“No.” Yu Xunge’s expression turned extremely cold in an instant. She didn’t know where Fuxiao Xianchan had gotten the news from, but the other party’s question was laughable. “Why should I feel guilty? Perhaps you consider her control an honor, but to me, it’s just a recurring scene in the temple.”
"But she taught you."
"Those are all evidence that she deceived me!"
After the questioning at the temple, every word that Qi Hua said was testimonies of betrayal and manipulation, and all the teachings she gave became evidence of a premeditated scheme!
"...But she saved you." Dawn Cicada's voice was noticeably weaker.
“But even if she doesn’t come, someone else will!!” Yu Xunge replied sharply. Even though she immediately calmed herself down and suppressed her emotions after saying that, she did lose control for a moment.
It wasn't that she begged her to come and save her! It was that the Chaotic Star Sea needed to return to the Star Sea on its own!
She could have refused, she knew she couldn't forgive this manipulation, yet she chose to manipulate, making herself trust her wholeheartedly and see herself as a fool grateful to her. The old rifts hadn't healed, and she created new ones!
Yu Xunge slowly exhaled, her gaze calmly fixed on the flower island ahead. Her voice was so soft it seemed to whisper in someone's ear:
Stop asking these pointless questions, stop saying "but," the bell has rung, these questions are no longer important.
The Tulane and B80 landed lightly on Yu Xunge's shoulders, feeling heavy.
The line fell silent.
Whether persuaded by her reason of seeking songs while carrying wine, or by sensing her determination and unwavering resolve, or perhaps by finding her unreasonable, Fu Xiao Xian Chan did not pursue the matter further or question her further.
