Chapter 45 (Exclusive to Jinjiang Literature City)
Jing Yuan had told Fu Xuan and the others about the Masked Fool a long time ago, and the reply he received was "Don't worry about it."
"Don't forget your identity, Jing Yuan." Fu Xuan slightly raised his chin and said, "Now, I am the general of Luofu. You just be your interstellar tourist. I will handle the matter of the Masked Fool."
"Alright, alright, then I'll trouble General Fu Xuan." Jing Yuan happily agreed.
He had known Fu Xuan for many years and naturally trusted his abilities. Moreover, he had no intention of getting involved in this mess.
Retirees should act like retirees.
Seeing how well-behaved he was, Fu Xuan was in a good mood, so he generously gave Jing Yuan a lot of pocket money.
"Thank you for the reward, General." Jing Yuan made a heart shape with his hands.
Now, Fu Xuan's smile widened even further.
"Remember to send back more local specialties." After thinking for a moment, she added, "Forget about cursed spirits, they're too ugly and will ruin your appetite."
"Okay." Jing Yuan nodded obediently.
Because he had promised Fu Xuan not to get involved, Jing Yuan only set up a barrier around the Japanese islands to prevent demons and monsters from escaping and harming other countries, and did nothing else.
Japan is, after all, a country with a certain historical foundation. Onmyoji, sorcerers, and psychics are all trying to maintain social stability. No matter what despicable things they do in secret, at least on the surface, they don't want Japan to fall into chaos.
The return of Hao Asakura and Yoh Asakura has relieved a lot of pressure for them.
The barrier was set up by Jingyuan, so he learned of it the moment the Asakura brothers stepped into Japan.
"Hayate Asakura and Hao Asakura are back." Jingyuan sent a message to Daoren, "Do you want to see them?"
Dao Lian's reply was practically instantaneous: "No, I'm very busy."
That makes sense.
Dao Lian came here with a mission, not for sightseeing.
Jingyuan picked up the teapot and refilled his empty teacup, then asked Ren, who was sitting opposite him, "Do you know a masked fool named Senra?"
"I don't recall," Blade said. "What? Is what's going on here related to that Masked Fool?"
“I suppose so,” Jing Yuan said. “I suspect she’s related to [Balance].
Blade was somewhat surprised: "Isn't she the Masked Fool?"
Few people can embark on two different destinies at the same time.
“She asked me a question,” Jing Yuan said, “Why can the Immortal Ship people receive the blessing of [Abundance] and the favor of [Hunting] after receiving the blessing of [Abundance]? Aren’t these two powers completely opposite?”
This dangerous topic made Ren frown. For a moment, he even thought of the Dragon Lord who had stirred up the Rebellion of Drinking Moon with him.
"Where is that guy?" Blade felt he needed to do something.
“She ran away,” Jing Yuan said. “She was very cautious; she used a puppet when she met with me.”
"What are your plans regarding the Immortal Ship?" Ren asked.
Jing Yuan also refilled Ren's teacup: "It's not a big problem, we've already reported it to the Marshal."
edge:"……"
It's already been reported to Marshal Hua, so there's not much of a problem.
“Currently, only the generals of each immortal ship possess both the powers of [Abundance] and [Hunting].” Jing Yuan paused for a moment, then added, “The Pioneers might be targeted by Senluo.”
Thinking of that Star Core Spirit who wielded a baseball bat and wreaked havoc across the galaxy, Blade felt a slight headache.
"There's still no word from Elio's side, so it seems this matter won't involve Xing for the time being," Blade said.
Since Ren had said so, Jing Yuan had nothing to worry about. However, just in case, Jing Yuan still sent a message to his friend.
Based on past experience, Xing always replied instantly, but this time Jingyuan waited for a long time without receiving a reply.
"They're probably sleeping," Jing Yuan said.
It's also possible that she's on some planet with poor signal.
"When do you plan to leave this world?" Blade asked. "Don't tell me you're planning to clean up their mess before you go."
“How could that be?” Jing Yuan chuckled. “I’m not from this world.”
He's not some masochist who enjoys cleaning up other people's messes; he simply wants to stabilize the situation before the celestial ship arrives.
“This world is unstable,” Blade said. “It is still growing.”
Jing Yuan nodded in agreement.
"That's why I notified Xianzhou to come over."
Jing Yuan was well aware of how many people would covet a world that was still "growing," not to mention that it might also hold the secret to solving the Demon Yin Body problem.
The Celestial Ship is very powerful, ranking among the top forces in the universe. Similarly, it has countless enemies.
Aside from the fertile creature that is their old rival, the Interstellar Peace Company has always been eyeing the Immortal Ship, always thinking of tearing a piece of flesh off it.
Other smaller forces like the Immortal Ship might not be a threat, but the Interstellar Peace Company is a different story.
Fu Xuan once complained that the company's faith was not in the guardian star god Kripper, but in the god of gluttony, Obros.
This company, driven by insatiable greed, will never let go of this nascent world, especially since this world may hold secrets that could cripple the Immortal Ship.
“Tsk, you don’t look like a retiree at all,” Blade said.
Jing Yuan chuckled and changed the subject: "Do you and Silver Wolf have any more missions coming up?"
"No."
This is not information that he needs to hide, nor is there any need to hide it.
Blade said, "I'm taking a break now."
As for Silver Wolf, he never understood what was going on in this girl's head.
“Hmm, maybe she’s just curious about what games are like in this world,” Jing Yuan said.
The two adults looked at the little guy sitting in the living room playing games together (Gojo Satoru: ???), and their eyes unconsciously filled with affection.
The two noisy people didn't notice that they were being watched, and continued to concentrate on playing the horror game, occasionally complaining that the monsters in the game didn't seem as scary as the cursed spirits.
"However, the gameplay is quite good." Silver Wolf gave it a very high rating.
Gojo Satoru grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Then let me think about what kind of return gift would be best for you," Silver Wolf said. "How about you try our Punk Lord's game?"
"Is that your hometown?" Gojo Satoru asked curiously.
Silver Wolf nodded: "It's a pretty good starting village."
"Oh." Gojo Satoru nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Ever since Jingyuan gave him psychological counseling, Gojo Satoru has completely let himself go, and he has completely forgotten all that nonsense about bearing the responsibility of being the strongest in the world of jutsu.
He does whatever he wants. If he doesn't like a rotten orange, he'll beat it up. If he encounters a promising talent, he'll teach them carefully if he's in a good mood, and if he's in a bad mood, he'll just hand them over to Moth and Panda.
Anyway, he can never go back to the way he used to be, working hard to protect everyone, only to be called a monster and treated like a slave, being bossed around and only getting a pitiful three hours of sleep a day.
“Even the donkeys in the production team have it easier than you,” Silver Wolf complained. “You’re not their parents, so why are you raising them like children? Even if you were parents, you should get rid of those ungrateful children as soon as possible, right? But you’re so stupid, letting them drive you around. Your temper is way too good, isn’t it? It’s only because you’re strong that you’ve been eaten alive.”
Silver Wolf really liked his new friend.
She's good-looking, has a cheerful personality, loves playing video games, and isn't as suffocatingly quiet as Blade.
Silver Wolf decides to make Gojo Satoru his new gaming partner.
As for the previous one, oh, that Star Core Spirit is currently exploring other planets and is out of service.
Anyway, this world will soon be incorporated into their vast Honkai Impact universe, so Silver Wolf doesn't have to worry about Gojo Satoru suddenly disconnecting while the two of them are playing online, leaving her feeling utterly cheated.
Upon hearing Silver Wolf say that he had a good temper, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his ears.
In all his years, this was the first time he had ever heard someone say that he had a good temper.
If the rotten oranges heard this, they'd probably faint from anger.
"Anyway, I've never seen anyone with the highest combat strength suffer as much as you," Silver Wolf said. "Take General Cat Mouth over there for example. He has a good temper, right? But do you know how ruthless he is? When Danfeng and my Uncle Ren caused such a big incident as the Drinking Moon Rebellion, he still managed to withstand it and send them away. Those elders of the Chiming Clan were furious and said they would teach him a lesson, but what happened? He managed to stay in the position of General Luofu for hundreds of years, and during that time he even watched several old geezers turn into eggs."
Patting Gojo Satoru on the shoulder, Silver Wolf said earnestly, "Learn more from him."
Out of curiosity about the outside world, Gojo Satoru often asked Ginrou about things in the universe. Ginrou kindly described the conflicts in the universe to him, especially about Kagemoto and Kagemoto's hometown, Rafu.
But no matter how much Silver Wolf told him that Jing Yuan was a smiling tiger and how difficult he was to deal with, he still couldn't imagine what such a guy who always seemed to fall asleep at any moment and whose smile was as soft and fluffy as a marshmallow would be like when he really got tough.
“Just think of him as the emperor of an ancient kingdom,” Silver Wolf said. “Anyway, the population of the Immortal Ship he governs is in the tens of billions, and many of them idolize him and consider him a guardian deity. You can even buy his fan fiction and guardian deity photos in Luofu. By the way, I have a deluxe edition of ‘Phoenix Seeks Phoenix’ on hand, and its market price is now almost catching up with the amount of money on Uncle Ren’s wanted list.”
Gojo Satoru: "..."
For a moment, he didn't know whether to first complain about the fact that the population of Luofu Immortal Ship was as high as 10 billion, or to first complain about why the people of Immortal Ship dared to write fan fiction about their own general, and also, what was "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"?
Seeing his friend blinking his beautiful eyes in confusion, Silver Wolf took out his phone and sent a file to Gojo Satoru.
“Here, this is the electronic version,” Silver Wolf said. “To avoid any appearance of impropriety, the two male protagonists are named Jingyuan and Danfeng.”
Gojo Satoru was puzzled, and greatly shocked.
"The pronunciations are almost the same, so is this really avoiding any awkwardness?"
Silver Wolf: "Anyway, they didn't say they wrote Jingyuan and Danfeng. The similarity in pronunciation doesn't mean anything. Besides, Shence Mansion didn't say it was not allowed, so it means it is allowed."
Wu Tiao Wu: "Alright. I don't really understand you people from the Immortal Ship."

Author's note: I really wanted to go to Teyvat right away, but I couldn't go again. Sigh.
