Chapter 106 The story continues [Immortal Boat: Luofu Chapter - Temporarily Ended]...
Two years have passed, and He Yuan feels that it's time to leave.
During this time, someone from the company came and asked Crane to meet Amber King, using the debts owed by Yalilo VI as leverage.
Crane Kite refused.
From the moment Lan approached his Star God, every woman took it for granted that he was her wife, without asking his wishes and only caring about her own thoughts.
The company representative sent by Cripper seemed to offer him a choice, but in front of everyone.
Look, all he has to do is go there once, and it's a great job to meet the Star God. This enormous debt can be forgiven, and they won't have to carry this burden for the rest of their lives. They can then freely choose their future.
He Yuan never expected that simply staying home for a day to add some fun to his boring time would cause him such trouble.
He's not one of Ariello's people, so there's no need for him to do this.
Moreover—
"Are you sure this was Amber King's original intention?"
He Yuan stared directly at the representative. "Are you sure you can represent the will of the Amber King?"
He waved the jade tablet in his hand, "Should I send a message to ask Him now?"
The representative looked at the jade tablet on He Yuan's wrist with surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
He had only overheard from another department that Amber King's lover from before he came of age was currently at Yalilo No. 6, so he came under the pretext of collecting debts, hoping to claim credit for the visit.
He had no idea that this person was already in contact with the Amber King!
No wonder the journey was so smooth...
"It's just that the Amber King has missed you for a long time and hopes you will come to see him." His tone softened slightly, but the meaning behind his words had completely changed.
He Yuan touched the jade tablet, the smile on her face not reaching her eyes.
He certainly didn't have Cripper's contact information; he was just bluffing and drawing a few conclusions.
His contact information isn't so easy to obtain.
"Miss?" He Yuan shook her head. "If I miss Him, shouldn't He be the one coming to see me? Why am I the one going to see Him? Isn't that backwards?"
He turned to the children surrounding him and asked, "If you missed someone and could go to them immediately, would you set off right away?"
Children don't understand debt, but they know a little about longing.
In the era of universal conscription in Belleburg, it became common for many children to rarely see their parents after birth.
Even if you don't understand love, you still know how to miss someone.
The representative broke out in a cold sweat, and his words became distorted and completely different from what he had originally said.
Seeing his expression, He Yuan also felt it was pointless and pointed him in the direction of Kripper Castle. "Ask the High Guardian about the debt problem. This is not something a stranger like me can decide."
Whether or not to take responsibility, and how to take responsibility, is not a decision he should make.
He Yuan continued to play with the children here and take photos with them.
He doesn't have children and doesn't want to have a male child in the game, so he's having a great time with all these kids around.
Coincidentally, the children in Belleburg have a natural awe and longing for soldiers, and coupled with He Yuan's handsome face, several children have already designated him as king or prince.
He Yuan shook his head mysteriously, "Kings and princes will have wives, but my heart belongs only to my partner. Let me be a reclusive master who teaches the prince swordsmanship."
The children were inevitably disappointed, but it was already good enough that He Yuan played with them, and they were sensible enough not to ask for more.
That evening, He Yuan said this while chatting with Jing Yuan.
Jingyuan immediately said, "What's the big deal? I married the prince and helped him ascend the throne to become king, but he is still my partner."
"Isn't that so?"
He Yuan recalled those terrible and chaotic nights when the prince, like a female beast, lay on top of the general, pounding away until juices splattered everywhere.
His face flushed red, and he glared at Jing Yuan, "How dare you say that!"
Jing Yuan laughed and said, "I did all of this, so why would I be embarrassed?"
Yes, it wasn't Jing Yuan who got messed up, nor was it Jing Yuan who had been in pain for three or four days, nor was it Jing Yuan whose body ached for several days... Of course he wouldn't be embarrassed!
He Yuan pretended to hang up the phone, but Jing Yuan immediately lowered his head and said, "Don't hang up, I just miss you so much."
"If you miss me..." He Yuan raised her head, "If you miss me, come see me!"
Yes, he's being unreasonable!
Jing Yuan followed his lead and said, "Then I'll contact the helmsman now to change the course, and we'll land on the Yalilo VI in a few days."
"..." He Yuan stiffened for a moment. "Then, that's not necessary. I'm almost done here and am just about to replenish my supplies before coming back."
Jing Yuan's eyes lit up; those golden eyes were as sweet as honey.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Even her voice softened, as if she were talking to a kitten, patiently coaxing it.
He Yuan lowered her hand, puzzled, and said gently, "I'll send you a message when we're almost there. Don't just stand there for nothing, okay?"
Like a cat that has been stroked.
Jing Yuan nodded naturally, but secretly he was preparing to give He Yuan a surprise when she returned.
We haven't celebrated our wedding anniversary and other holidays together for two years in a row, so we definitely have to make up for it.
Oh, Xiao Yuan came back and said she might urge him to pay his grain tax, so he also has to... he also has to prepare some food.
In a short while, Jing Yuan thought about many things, but he didn't show it on his face. "Then I'll wait for the great hero of Belloberg to return."
He Yuan, hands on her hips like a peacock, asked, "Is it just Belloberg?"
Jingyuan rubbed his fingers together, wanting to reach into the screen to pinch his face or ruffle his hair.
"Still the great hero of the Luofu Immortal Ship, it is..."
"He is the best valiant guard in my heart."
He Yuan was completely soothed by him and fell asleep with a smile, leaving Jing Yuan staring blankly at his sleeping face.
The heating was on quite high, so the young man wore only a thin bathrobe.
Perhaps the heat made him uncomfortable, because he pulled his loose bathrobe down a little, revealing his fair shoulders and collarbone.
If he were nearby, Jing Yuan would already have his arm around his shoulder, the scent of the young man's hair filling his nostrils.
He glanced at the documents in his hand, thinking of He Yuan beside him, finished the remaining tasks, and lay down on the bed.
Listening to my lover's soft breathing, it felt as if he were still beside me.
Jing Yuan gently embraced a spot in front of him and closed his eyes.
They did this every night since communications were restored on Yalilo VI.
At first, He Yuan had no one around and couldn't sleep well, so Jing Yuan would sing him some lullabies to coax him until he fell into a deep sleep.
Later, He Yuan got used to spending every night with Jing Yuan. The time he spent with Jing Yuan always made him feel the warm but not scorching sunlight. Bathing in the sun's radiance, he could close his eyes with peace of mind.
Eventually, every night became their chat time.
Jingyuan conscientiously reported his whereabouts every day, as did Heyuan.
He didn't have strong feelings for those Star Gods. Even Lan, whom he had theoretically spent decades with, was still not as important to him as any of the original three.
As players progress through the game, things like attributes gradually become less important to He Yuan.
He became engrossed in the plot and text, as well as the emotions flowing through the data, which fascinated him more than the attributes and items.
The chaos of the Moonlit Night also taught him many things.
If the goal is simply to achieve that result, there are many aspects of the process that can be controlled.
For example, if the outcome of Yallo VI is that future unnamed visitors come to deal with the star's core and slowly restore the climate.
Dealing with the star core is the result; before that, all that matters is ensuring the star core remains intact.
The restoration of the climate is a long process, and over the past seven hundred years, at most the wind and snow have lessened.
He Yuan was unaware of the fate of this planet, but he knew the outcome seven hundred years later. Therefore, at this moment, moving closer to that outcome would be a decision that wouldn't go wrong.
And this ending... is something everyone is happy to see, right?
If he has the ability to destroy the star core, perhaps he could try to explore the feasibility of this.
He Yuan opened her eyes and thought for a long time before reluctantly getting out of bed.
I'm resting today and packing my bags; I'm leaving tomorrow.
He walked down the street dressed in the clothes belonging to the fairy boat and, following the directions, arrived at Igor's cenotaph.
Igor died on the battlefield.
Those who died with him, almost none of whom had intact bodies, were eventually separated, cremated, and buried together in a cemetery.
He Yuan walked to his tombstone, took out a bunch of red roses, and placed them on the stone platform in front of him.
"I wanted to say it the first time we met."
“Igor, your hair is beautiful, like a blooming red rose.”
"Just like your life, passionate and splendid."
The mission was a guide. From the initial obsession with achieving perfection, how much sincerity was mixed in with the subsequent help, and how much personal emotion was involved in this agreement, He Yuan couldn't say.
He didn't like Igor that much; he thought it was just an ordinary reunion and a gesture of assistance.
But upon learning of his death, at some point, it still touched his heartstrings.
Is it a pity for the hero, or a lament for his brilliant yet short-lived life, like Yingxing?
He Yuan shouldn't put these two together, but their experiences are so similar and overlapping.
Yingxing...where are you now?
He Yuan lowered her eyes, remained silent for a while, then turned and left.
A red cloak billowed in the wind and snow, brushing against the tombstone and revealing the name.
At dusk, an elderly woman came to visit her son.
When she saw the still-blooming red roses, many things and many words came to mind, which eventually turned into silent tears as she planted the roses in the soil in front of her.
I'll stay with you like this.
In a way, your wish has been fulfilled.
*
By the time He Yuan boarded the starship, her emotions had completely calmed down.
If he were to meet Yingxing, he could easily jump to a time seven hundred years in the future, or load a previous save file.
Don't overthink it.
He Yuan thought: Didn't he personally witness Ying Xing's death and resurrection countless times?
And in many futures, we also see his silent figure.
Keep all the save files safe. Even if he doesn't have them this time, he will find a way to bring him back and stop his suffering.
And... to become an existence comparable to the Star God.
He wants to protect everyone he wants to protect in this world that can be upgraded.
There are many uncertainties in the future, and He Yuan will only choose the one she likes.
He opened his eyes, looked at the boundless sea of stars, and suddenly laughed heartily.
The adjutant beside him asked in confusion, "Lord Xiaowei?"
He Yuan pursed her lips. "It's nothing. I just can't help feeling happy thinking about going back."
Yes, I'm about to see Jingyuan, I'm so happy.
There is no one in the Yunqi Army or the Shence Prefecture who is unaware of their relationship.
Seeing He Yuan's happy smile, the adjutant was also infected and smiled, "Just thinking about meeting the one I've been longing for makes me so happy..."
"yes……"
When I think about meeting you in the future, my excitement and joy flow uncontrollably from the moment the thought comes to mind, and it doesn't stop once we meet.
The adjutant understood.
But the adjutant felt that this shouldn't be the reason for the guard to rush to the general and kiss him in public as soon as he got out of the car.
Restrain yourself!
You need to learn to control yourself in public!
It's one thing for Lord Xiaowei to act recklessly, but General, please push him away!
Wait, General, why are you hugging him?!
Wait a minute, General, why are you two holding hands on the Starship?
General, that's not right. Why did you leave us behind? Were you here to report on your duties?
Your Excellency, please calm down! There are still many things to deal with!
"Jing-Yuan-" The newly appointed pink-haired diviner was furious, and seemed ready to smash the Qiong Guanzhen on the general's head.
The adjutant, along with several diviners, immediately grabbed the Grand Diviner's leg, crying, "Grand Diviner—Grand Diviner—there are more documents here!"
Fortunately, the Grand Diviner was not tall and looked slender. Several people supported her calves, successfully keeping a pillar of support for her.
The pink-haired patriarch was as angry as a large white steamed bun from a general's house, handling matters with his face puffed out.
*
As they boarded the star raft, He Yuan looked out the window with concern. "Jing Yuan, is it alright to leave everything to Fu Xuan?"
Isn't it a bad thing to leave people like this?
Jing Yuan rested his hand on the steering wheel and took He Yuan's hand with his other hand. "Don't worry, Fu Qing will be enough to take care of what I left behind."
He Yuan was still a little concerned. "Then let's send her some gifts another day. It's not good to keep bothering her."
Jing Yuan switched to autopilot and pulled He Yuan into his arms. "When the two of us are together, let's not talk about other people."
"OK?"
He Yuan chuckled softly in his arms, "Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say, General."
The general nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it, Your Highness. If you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
He Yuan pinched his thigh, "You did it again!"
The young man was no longer the indifferent person he had been before; Jing Yuan's eyes were now filled with vitality.
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it again."
They arrived at Shence Mansion without incident, and apart from He Yuan's lips being a little swollen, there was no change.
The collars were all neatly arranged, and the cape was slightly wrinkled, but there were other reasons to explain that.
He Yuan lay on her familiar bed, watching Jing Yuan help her pack her things and find the gift she had brought.
—A string of red sausages.
"This is really delicious. I'll buy it for you to try. Next time the Tianbo Company goes there, we can include it in the trade goods!"
Jingyuan put them in the refrigerator, wrinkling his cat-like mouth, "The smell... is a bit fishy."
He Yuan patted his shoulder, "Hey, I'll make it for you, you'll see if you try it!"
Jingyuan is actually a picky eater. When he used to eat shrimp dumplings, he would only eat the shrimp and nothing else.
He Yuan couldn't stand it and ate it for him; it was a kind of fun, wasn't it?
But Jingyuan didn't want Heyuan to eat what he left over, so he always separated them in advance, one side for each person.
He Yuan really loves eating high-carb foods like noodles. Her favorite breakfast is shrimp dumpling noodles with some stir-fried rice cakes mixed in – a total carb bomb.
According to Jingyuan's impression, Heyuan shouldn't have developed this habit.
“Because this way you can eat your fill, you might feel a little sleepy in the morning, but you’ll get through it,” He Yuan said. “And eating something warm and energizing like this makes you feel very happy.”
Anyway, Xiao Yuan's diet wasn't extravagant, so Jing Yuan just ate whatever he wanted.
However, after trying He Yuan's food, he inexplicably understood this feeling and would occasionally come to eat there.
He can generally accept what He Yuan likes.
Jingyuan happily accepted the suggestion and brought the foot bath machine to Heyuan.
"Let's soak in the water first, and I'll give you a massage later. You must have suffered a lot these past two years away from home."
The man looked worried.
Crane Kite: "..."
He Yuan: "Is it possible that I've gained a little weight?"
Jing Yuan looked at his expression, "But your face..."
Very pale.
"Because there is heavy snow and little sunshine over there."
...
After a back-and-forth exchange, Jingyuan was finally calmed down by Heyuan.
Cats that are separated from their owners will meow anxiously.
He Yuan understands.
After calming the cat down, He Yuan wondered whether she should tell Jing Yuan that the Star God had seen their every move.
This is clearly an unacceptable thing, especially considering it involves the Emperor Bow Master of the Immortal Boat Alliance.
He Yuan's expression was hard to hide. Jing Yuan went to pour some foot bath water, and when he came back and saw He Yuan's appearance, he immediately understood what was going on.
“Xiao Yuan, do you want to talk about the Star God?” Jing Yuan sat down next to him and pulled him onto his lap. “If it’s about observation, then I already know.”
"If you have a burden on your mind, then there's no need to say anything."
He Yuan leaned against him and said, "Okay."
Sometimes he feels fortunate that his partner is Jingyuan.
A general who can see through everything, a lover who can always take care of his feelings, and a partner who can give him the most sense of security.
With Jingyuan by her side, Heyuan had almost no worries.
He slowly tilted his head back and kissed Jingyuan's lips.
This is his favorite way of expressing love.
Hugs, kisses... just like countless times before, and the bed began to shake.
Dusk has fallen, and the days are over; one can do whatever one pleases.
For example, have General Shence make up for the debt.
The shaking bed only stopped when the sun began to rise. One of the two instigators had fainted and was carried into the bathroom to wash up and change into pajamas, trying to get some more sleep.
He Yuan got up groggily, and Jing Yuan helped her brush her teeth and wash her face. After she got dressed, she took the draft of her prepared report and sat on the Star Raft with a squinting face.
Passing by a coffee shop, Jingyuan ordered an espresso.
He Yuan took a sip or two and immediately sobered up, still frowning.
"It's all your fault!"
Jing Yuan was truly wronged.
Last night, it was clearly He Yuan who kept clinging to his waist and telling him she liked him. When she pulled out to clean him up, she even said not to take it out or the baby would be lost.
At first, Jing Yuan could still hold his own, since He Yuan always liked to talk about all sorts of nonsense in bed.
But when the conversation turned to the child, Jingyuan paused and looked at the young man's lower abdomen. It was swollen as if he were four or five months pregnant, very... very tempting.
It was already alluring enough, and with He Yuan saying that, Jing Yuan naturally had to work hard to win her over in one go and make He Yuan's wish come true.
But at this moment, Jing Yuan did not intend to argue.
He readily agreed to the mistake and urged He Yuan to read the report.
“If you don’t speak well, Fu Qing will hold you accountable in public.”
He Yuan smacked Jing Yuan on the head with her manuscript, "Then after my position is revoked, I will move out of the Shence Mansion immediately!"
Jing Yuan pleaded, "My little kite, it's not that serious!"
"Hurry up and look at the manuscript."
He Yuan angrily read the manuscript the whole way.
The soreness in my lower body hasn't subsided yet, but thankfully I'm dressed neatly today so no one can tell.
He Yuan gave Jing Yuan a disgruntled look and went to the back to prepare.
Jingyuan was left only to savor that look in his eyes.
They're so cute, it makes me want to bully them.
He walked into the conference hall with a smile on his face, sat in the front row, and greeted Fu Xuan on the other side.
"Fu Qing, thank you for yesterday."
Fu Xuan said with a sour face, "Jing Yuan, if you do this again, I'm going to report you to the Alliance!"
Fu Xuan would certainly not go, but Jing Yuan knew that if he wanted Fu Qing to do something, he had to show the right attitude.
He always gave Fu Xuan face.
Seeing Jing Yuan's apparent "repentance," Fu Xuan let it go and focused on listening to the upcoming report.
...
"...That concludes the summary statement regarding Yalilo VI."
After He Yuan finished speaking, she waited a few seconds. Seeing that no one asked any questions, she got down and sat behind Jing Yuan with an affirmative look in her eyes.
"Were you alright just now?" He Yuan asked.
He could see the ratings himself, but he always wanted to hear Jingyuan's thoughts.
Jing Yuan squeezed his hand from the shadows, "Great, perfect."
He Yuan followed suit and hooked his finger, "That's good, I can still stay at the Shence Mansion."
Jing Yuan laughed, "Xiao Yuan, have you ever thought that the General's wife can also live in the Shence Mansion?"
He Yuan declared righteously, "Of course I won't rely on connections to get into the Shence Mansion. Even if I'm dismissed, I'll retake the exam and get back in!"
No one can separate him and Jingyuan!
"Cough cough!" Fu Xuan coughed twice, his eyes fixed on them.
He Yuan tried to pull her hand back, but Jing Yuan grabbed it and pressed it against his moon leg.
Jingyuan's hands were large, not only enveloping Heyuan's hands, but his fingers could also touch the large moon legs covered by cloth, pressing them lightly.
Crane Kite: I always feel that the Grand Diviner's eyes are terrifying.
After the report, life on Xianzhou Island resumed as usual.
Crane Kite continued forward, leaving a save point at the most satisfying spot, and then temporarily exited the game.
Since it was still early, he checked the official information.
I'm getting tired of playing on the Immortal Ship; I wonder when we'll be able to open a new planet.
Just then, a new message popped up.
[Dreamland – Pinocchio Exclusive!]
He Yuan clicked on the link and began browsing carefully.
New planet, new storyline, new characters!
What?! The Star Train is involved too!
He Yuan thought of the sky.
What would Qiong's expression be if he knew that he was also once an unknown person seven hundred years later?
He glanced at the new DLC's update time, set an alarm and made a schedule for himself, ready to play it as soon as possible.
Now, get a good night's sleep and get ready for tomorrow!

Author's note: I'll start writing some side stories tomorrow and then head to Pinocchio!
It took 100,000 more words than expected to finish writing... [laughing and crying while covering face]
After finishing the Onpharos storyline, I was so angry that I ordered a roast chicken and ate it on the spot.
There are way too many knives here! [crying emoji][crying emoji]
