Chapter 58 Yingxing, or Blade?
"After gaining immortality...should I change my name?" Lu Qi was confused and asked cautiously, "Then do I have to change my name too?"
Jing Yuan: “…Don’t act stupid.”
"No way," Lu Qi sat down angrily, occupying the general's seat and pushing him away. "Honestly, what's going on? Even if he committed a crime, they wouldn't treat him like this... Isn't Ying Xing also a hero of the Immortal Boat?"
800 years ago, many heroes gathered, but the most dazzling ones were all her friends.
Lu Qi is very proud, and his eyes light up when he talks about them.
She never doubted the sincerity of her friends. They might have some faults, big or small, and their personalities might not necessarily be likable, but they would not be treated like this.
When Jingyuan told the story of her death, it was as calm as a storyteller.
Oh, no, storytellers are much more emotional than him.
"Sister Lu Qi, time can change many things," Jing Yuan said calmly, "People will change... no matter if they are immortal or short-lived."
"Others won't tell you, but even if Ying Xing has lost his memory, he wouldn't bring something dangerous to blow up his hometown," Lu Qi said stubbornly, glancing at Jing Yuan again. "Then how about this, I'll go arrest him first and torture him to extract a confession, okay!"
After Lu Qi finished speaking, he immediately ran out of the Shen Ce Mansion without looking back. Seeing this, Banxia, a maid from the Chi Ming Clan standing not far from them, bowed to General Jing Yuan and took her leave, then followed him.
Never mind...at least Banxia is watching her.
Jingyuan sighed and rubbed his head with a headache.
He took out the jade sign and sent a message to his apprentice Yan Qing.
[Real name online (Jing Yuan): Yanqing, Xiaoqi has gone looking for a wanted criminal. Keep an eye on her and don't let her do anything rash.]
Yanqing responded quickly and agreed immediately.
[Real name online (Jing Yuan): By the way, her image is different now, but Banxia is still with her, so you shouldn't be mistaken.]
Yan Qing didn't see this sentence at all. He quickly walked out with his sword, a gleam in his eyes.
The wanted criminal is here too!
***
If you want to find someone in the Luofu Fairy Boat, you can search based on the whereabouts of the Cloud Cavalry Army to ensure that you can find the target in a short time.
Even after seven hundred years, the information search on the Luofu Fairy Boat was almost the same as before. Although there were some changes in the architectural layout, it still made Lu Qi feel unfamiliar.
In order to catch the wanted criminal first, Lu Qi jumped directly onto the roof, stepped on the green tiles, and shuttled in the air.
She was wearing a blue-green dress, and her long sleeves were like a fallen leaf, swirling and floating in the air, leaving only a light scent of the ocean.
Banxia couldn't keep up with her pace and could only chase her frantically from below. However, after just a few breaths, Lord Lu Qi disappeared.
The Chiming maid was panting, bent over and supported her trembling knees, and gave up thinking.
Forget it, forget it. The general couldn't stop Lord Lu Qi's actions, so she just followed him slowly and spared her life...
Lu Qi searched for people very quickly. When he saw a green figure, he rushed up and stepped on it.
"Who? Who hit me?!"
"Ouch!"
"Asshole! Don't let me catch you!"
If you step on them more often, you will always step on the right one.
However, the wanted criminal she was looking for was not someone who could be kicked by someone who suddenly appeared and could not escape.
The white-haired, golden-eyed girl saw a familiar figure from afar, landing in front of her like a butterfly. The figure's clothes exuded a cool, ocean-like aura, tinged with a sweet, familiar scent that brought tears to her eyes.
The wanted Star Core Hunter stared at her in amazement.
The face he thought he would never see again suddenly appeared before him, as beautiful as a dream.
Until the girl stopped beside him, raised her snow-white fingers and waved them in front of him several times.
"Ying Xing, are you stupid?" She called out a name that hadn't been called in hundreds of years. The white-haired girl narrowed her golden pupils and looked him up and down. "Wow... now you look a lot younger."
He subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword.
"Huh? Isn't this a fragment? Why is it here with you?"
Thousands of years of time seem to be flowing backwards, back to the beginning.
But he knew that nothing could go back, neither him nor——
"She doesn't want it anymore," the man whispered. Although he looked like a young man, his voice was as hoarse as a candle in the wind. "You..."
"She's going too far!" Lu Qi interrupted him indignantly, "Just wait, when I see Jing Liu next time, I'm going to have a good talk with her."
"Why would I return the gift I gave her?"
She seemed very angry, but her lighthearted and lively personality was exactly the same as I remembered, without any change.
He reached out and grasped her wrist.
Her rough hands, once cut to pieces, were no longer capable of crafting delicate and beautiful objects. He touched her soft wrist, which exuded the warmth of a living person.
Is alive.
Not an illusion.
"No need," he said indifferently, seeming to have regained some of his normal state. "If you don't want it, then don't."
"Okay, you have the final say... Well, but what's wrong with your body? You have so many wounds on your body."
"...That's not important. It's you..." He changed the subject as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, are you talking about the horns on my head? Or my eyes and hair? Let me tell you! It seems like I was picked up and made into a member of the Chiming Clan. Then, when I went to Boyue Ancient Sea today, I suddenly awakened the Chiming Clan's Dragon Lord inheritance, and my hair became like this—ah, do you want to see my Water Controlling Technique and Cloud Chanting Technique? I tried to get Danfeng to teach me before, but I couldn't learn it. It turns out that these are really the unique skills of the Chiming Clan Dragon Lord... It's a pity that Danfeng can't see them."
Lu Qi talked a lot in a rapid-fire manner, in high spirits.
She didn't seem to be affected by Changsheng, and never mentioned the stupid things he had done with...
His gentle sun embraces him as always.
but……
"Dan Feng is not dead," the indigo-haired man lowered his red eyes and said seriously, "He is on the Starry Sky Train."
"Huh..." Lu Qi tilted his head, "But Jing Yuan said that he was reincarnated."
"He is Dan Feng," the man emphasized again, "Even if he has forgotten his past, the spearmanship he learned is still Dan Feng's. He is Dan Feng."
"Is it the same as if I were still Lu Qi?"
"……no the same."
That was different. How could Dan Feng compare to Lu Qi? That proud Dragon Lord refused to forget her until his death. He struggled for a long time before finally transforming into an egg and being reborn.
He wanted to sleep forever, but he hesitated and didn't dare to speak in front of her.
I want to look at her a few more times.
It was not until the sun set that the proud craftsman suddenly realized how insignificant the memory he left behind was.
It’s not enough, I want to keep looking at her like this.
"Well, it seems I'll have to wait until I meet him."
"You'll see him soon."
"Huh? How did you know?"
The man no longer answered the question. He let go of Lu Qi's hand, and the soft warmth seemed to remain on his fingertips.
Of course he knows.
This was part of Elio's story, a fate that could not be changed. The Star Train would arrive at the blocked Luofu Immortal Ship in two days. His companion, Silver Wolf, who hadn't made it to the ship yet, would provide support from afar, opening the gates to Xingcha Harbor for the Star Train.
"Forget it, if you don't want to answer, I won't ask," Lu Qi said with a smile, "but I have one more thing I want to say... Well, I saw your wanted poster!"
"You want to arrest me?"
"Brother Ying Xing is a greenhorn to begin with, so catching you is super easy. Don't struggle, okay? I don't want to start a fight right away when I meet an old friend... Phew, damn it, I should have stolen Jing Yuan's wine."
The man's eyes narrowed at the mention of Jing Yuan.
The young man grew up to be the formidable Luofu General, and he intentionally or unintentionally blocked Lu Qi's news. If not, at least he would have known about her resurrection as a member of the Chiming Clan before he arrived at the Luofu Immortal Boat.
When he returned to the fairy boat this time, he did not bring her any gifts.
The man pondered silently until the girl's face leaned closer. Her beautiful eyes and brows were tinted with the color of snow, frosting her with a startling coldness. At that moment, the snow-clad Vajra girl revealed a malicious smile and spoke meaningfully.
"The name written on your wanted poster is 'Ren'," she said meaningfully, "Should I call you 'Yingxing' or 'Ren' now?"
The name was just a code name, he never cared about it, but he always felt inexplicably embarrassed and annoyed when facing Lu Qi.
What should he say?
He said that because of his demonic body, he forgot his own name again and again, treated his body as consumable again and again, and it kept breaking and healing again and again?
He still remembered the look on her face when she stepped forward to heal him when he was accidentally injured by the enemy fleet during the battle with her.
She was sad and felt guilty. She pursed her lips and said that she would protect the logistics personnel well next time and would not let him get hurt again.
She did, but her own life ended for ridiculous reasons.
He couldn't accept it.
The sun should hang brightly in the sky, forever lively and happy. She has sacrificed so much for the immortal boat, and she deserves to enjoy the joy of life within her limited lifespan.
She is a free bird, an unfettered light.
The only thing he shouldn't be is lying in a coffin, pale and silent.
Whether it is Ying Xing or Ren, they both want Lu Qi to be happy.
"...Whatever you like to shout, that's it." He whispered.
"Hmm... you've got me stumped," Lu Qi pinched his chin and pretended to think. "Jing Yuan calls you 'Blade' now, and the wanted poster also says 'Blade'... You're a Star Core Hunter now, right? Your companions also call you 'Blade'?"
The man nodded silently.
"Then I'll do the same as everyone else!" Lu Qi happily decided, "Ren, Ren... I'll call you this name a few more times so you're familiar with it before you get out of prison."
Lu Qi said with a smile, taking out a rope to bind immortals.
"I don't know where the bow you made me is... I'll ask Jing Yuan to get it back some other day. For now, we'll just have to make do with the rope."
She stared at the blade eagerly, her golden vertical pupils shrinking slightly.
"Ren, let me see what you are capable of now?"
Ren looked at her with a calm expression. He put down the sword he was holding and opened his arms towards Lu Qi.
"Don't try," he said. "If you want to catch it, then catch it."
Lu Qi: “…Ah?”
