Chapter 139 Pinocchio (3) Being attracted by beauty is human nature...
He Yuan stated her actions directly, saying, "I will not fail to recognize the person beside me in bed."
"It's not like they have night blindness. These two people can't be exactly the same in every way, can they? Something will always feel off."
He's not stupid; this story completely portrays him as one.
Mikhail explained quietly, "Because Aha is a star god, he can easily impersonate anyone."
"In short, after various persuasions, the three of them finally calmed down. Akivili and Heyuan jointly kicked Aha off the train, and Akivili announced that he would break off relations with Aha and that Aha would never be allowed to board the Star Train again."
The story should have ended here, but—
Mikhail found it difficult to speak, "but Crane found himself becoming fascinated by the feel of chopsticks that Aha gave him, and disgusted with Akivili."
Tirnan sighed, "Sir, I think there's no need to continue."
Lazarina covered her ears in anguish. "Is this really not Aha's dying fantasy?"
She pointed exaggeratedly at He Yuan: "Do you think this gentleman would lack suitors?"
Mikhail breathed a sigh of relief. "Sir, I think there's no need to go on. In short, the three people in the story are entangled in a passionate affair, which ends in a tragic separation. In the mouth of fictional historians, your name has become a taboo."
Pam brought over the dessert, "But that's not the truth, Pam!"
“Pam has always been by Avi and Ayu’s side. There has never been a third person between them!”
Lazarina clapped her hands. "The train conductor has a lot of presence!"
Even the word "Pa" was pronounced with exceptional strength!
Tirnan: "It's just a fictional historian's joke, Pam shouldn't take it to heart."
Mikhail nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Pam, look, Mr. Crane Kite got on the bus again to meet you, and he just rejected Aha's advances. These are the most powerful proof!"
Pam paused for a moment, then borrowed He Yuan's phone to check. After seeing the overwhelming discussion, she couldn't help but smile.
"Actually, A-Yuan doesn't need to put on such a mask. A-Wei and I both want A-Yuan to be happy, so I won't have any objections no matter who A-Yuan wants to be with!"
Pam simply disliked the rumors circulating that Akivili and Crane had a bad relationship.
He Yuan pinched the train conductor's ear, "Then—I'll thank Pam!"
"How much longer until the train starts? How about I bring my ex-husband to check it out for you?"
He Yuan looked like she was about to cause trouble.
Pam was stunned into silence for a moment, then exclaimed, "You...you have an ex-husband, Pam!!!"
After he finished speaking, he thought about it again and felt that he shouldn't be shocked. Akivili had been gone for a long time, and it was perfectly normal for He Yuan to have a new family...
Yes, that's perfectly normal!
Don't be sad, Pa!
Clearly, Pam wasn't good at hiding his emotions; his sadness was plain to see, which made He Yuan feel somewhat guilty.
After all, they're cute creatures, but when they're sad, they can be quite devastating.
He Yuan comforted him, "He is my ex-husband, not my current husband, Pam. You and Avi have always been my closest family."
Speak human language to humans, and ghost language to ghosts.
These are skills you need to learn when you're away from home.
He Yuan had no reason not to do it if she could just say a few nice words to please the train conductor and get good treatment.
And you can also get half of the Star Train as an asset for free, it sounds amazing!
Pam was easily appeased.
"You can come and see, but if you want to join us, you have to pass a test. No cheating allowed!"
He Yuan: "He can't leave the fairy ship, so he can only come to the carriage to take a look during his free time."
Lazarina, who was very fast at surfing, had already decoded it: "Is it that General Jing Yuan of the Luofu Divine Strategy?"
According to online information, He Yuan has three ex-husbands: one is in prison and his whereabouts are unknown, another is Tui Sheng and it is unknown whether he was born, so the only one who could come is Jing Yuan.
Mikhail's eyes widened.
If these nameless travelers go to places that have already been developed, they'll be treated like royalty, if not the best. But if they have to develop a place that no nameless travelers have ever set foot in, it's really... extremely difficult.
It's easy to find yourself pleasing neither side.
They had seen regional leaders before, but this was the first time they had ever faced a regional leader of the prosperous and powerful Immortal Boat Alliance.
To draw an analogy, it's like an employee who has only been with the company for a few years and has been promoted to P30 suddenly being able to meet with the Amber King.
After all, that's the same company as the Xianzhou!
Tiernan was alright; he was a sea patrol ranger and belonged to the same faction as the Immortal Ship Alliance, so he didn't face much pressure.
He Yuan slowly took a sip of her milk tea and nodded, "Yes, it's Jing Yuan."
"As a general, he is not allowed to go out, so this time, I'm taking him along to see the outside world."
Lazarina asked doubtfully, "You two are really divorced?"
He Yuan shrugged: "Really? Do I need to see the divorce certificate?"
Lazarina: "Huh? I rarely see divorced couples like you."
It's rare to see divorced couples maintaining such a good relationship, even going on trips together with each other.
People would believe me if I said we weren't divorced.
He Yuan looked over innocently, "Rare doesn't mean nonexistent. Jing Yuan and I are very close friends, and he is an inseparable part of me."
Tirnan: "...Hmm?"
Mikhail: "My...my best friend?!"
Whose best friend is like this?!
No way, who would be best friends with their ex-husband!
Mikhail fell into deep thought, but Crane Kite continued to output.
"Yes, my dear friend, we grew up together since we were little, inseparable like brothers. In all our time and memories, there are traces of each other."
“Just because of the divorce, I have to cut all these ties... I find it hard to imagine,” He Yuan said matter-of-factly. “Besides, the divorce doesn’t mean I don’t like him anymore.”
Every single one of the three people and one person present had their brains completely shut down.
Is this the world of the Immortal Ship people?
Wait, he grew up with General Shence?!
Mikhail asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you've lived for so long that you can't even remember your own age? How could you have grown up with General Luofu?"
He Yuan smiled slyly: "Misha, do you think more than a hundred years is a long time?"
For Mikhail—a young man in his early twenties—more than a hundred years is more than five times his age, so it is certainly a long time.
“So, is there a problem with me saying I’ve lived for a long time?” He Yuan rested her cheek on her hand, poking at the small cake with a spoon in her other hand. “I really don’t keep track of my age—it doesn’t mean much to me.”
Mikhail was speechless.
Tirnan hit the nail on the head, "Then what's your story with the Pioneer Star God?"
Lazarina also looked curious.
They were completely unaware that they had naturally started chatting with He Yuan and were curious about her.
He Yuan looked at the favorability bar above Mikhail's head with amusement. "Perhaps...you've heard of the end times?"
"Traveling from the future to the past timeline and then influencing the future is like... inputting a variable at the beginning of a program to affect predetermined possibilities."
"Perhaps in the timeline I didn't go to, the train was anxious about energy?"
The current energy system is almost the most resource-efficient in the galaxy. Nearly half of the fuel that passengers obtain when they go out to explore can be stored in the core to continuously power the train.
At least in the near future, there's no need to worry about this issue.
"So you're a traveler who can travel through time?" Mikhail asked curiously. "Then how did you leave behind a legend that has lasted for a thousand years?"
According to the Starry Sky Train and Pam's memories, the human named Crane Kite did indeed spend a thousand years on the train.
He Yuan smiled and said, "Then according to your logic, I should indeed be several thousand years old by now."
"Just think of going back to the past as freezing my age, otherwise, I don't even know how many digits I would be now."
Mikhail, confused by his explanation, suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Tirnan: "..."
He closed his eyes, but didn't voice his question.
Having spent a thousand years with Akivili, from a timeline perspective, Heyuan should have called Akivili a close friend. Why then is he called General Luofu?
unless……
Unless he hasn't experienced it yet, but only knew about it in advance?
This conjecture is not without merit, but it is clearly inappropriate to say it in this situation.
But...shouldn't we remind Misha?
“I feel like he’s about to fall for her,” Lazarina whispered to Tirnan. “Look at his eyes, staring straight at her, as if he’s just hit it off with her at first sight.”
Tiernan: "Let's wait until he realizes it before we talk about it."
If I were to say something now, I'd probably face a triple denial. If I were to be even more radical, Mikhail might just swear brotherhood with He Yuan.
Just kidding.
Nobody likes having rivals in love.
Mikhail is clueless... well, he's clueless then.
Tirnan didn't know how he felt.
It's human nature to be attracted to beauty, and he had seen her face in advertisements countless times, but he didn't feel anything special at the time.
All I can say is that the impact of face-to-face interaction is still too great.
But he wasn't sure if it was attraction from appearance or something else.
If it's the former, then he himself is too superficial.
—Although it is only human nature.
But is liking someone solely based on their appearance really considered liking them?
That could also be a form of appreciation.
Tirnan tried to cover his eyes.
Crane Kite asked him curiously, "Why are you blindfolded?"
The young man's voice was soft, like a warm breeze blowing from his hometown, shattering his already fragile exterior.
“Yes, Ternan, why are you suddenly wearing an eye patch?” Mikhail asked, puzzled.
Only Lazarina sensed something was wrong and took Pam to sit down at another table.
Tiernan paused for a moment, then said, "I am undergoing a period of spiritual practice."
"Cultivation?" The young man's voice trailed off slightly, like a feather tickling his heart.
Tirnan pursed his lips and reached out to pull down the brim of his hat—but he found that the brim was already quite low.
This makes my actions seem superfluous and even a bit silly.
He heard the young man laugh clearly, interspersed with Mikhail's puzzled voice.
"Hey? Why are you suddenly laughing? What's so funny?"
He Yuan's tone was tinged with amusement, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something funny, do you want to hear it?"
“Great! I’ll share something I found funny too!” Mikhail said enthusiastically. “I’ll tell you, when Tirnan just got on the train—”
"Misha!"
Tirnan stopped him, "...Don't talk about that."
Nobody wants to lose face in front of someone they like (or doubt).

I can only write this much in my anger.
Looking through historical texts, I discovered that Hanunu might be a werewolf... Sorry, I'm thinking about things that have already come to an end.
