Chapter 61 There is someone I want to see
Did no one tell her that it would be so difficult to catch a runaway friend now?
Lu Qi bit her nails with a headache, and the jade ring in her hand made a dripping sound, but she didn't care. Instead, she glared at the man with long indigo hair in front of her with displeasure.
How come seven hundred years have passed and he is still so persistent?
No... I should say, I am even more persistent.
After transforming into a dragon, Lu Qi's combat power was incredibly strong. He could easily smash a building with a single jump from a high altitude, and his claws could crush anything he saw into pieces like tofu. With lightning speed, he could kill his enemies with just a wave of his hand.
Of course, she had no interest in killing the wanted criminals on the spot. Jing Yuan also wanted to capture Kafka and hand her over to Taipusi to find out their purpose for coming to the Immortal Boat...
but……
"Okay, what do you want to do?" Lu Qi is now very fast at finding people. The body made by the Immortal Dragon can easily capture different smells. She quickly found the two hidden star core hunters.
Since she didn't know the other person, and that person tried to control her with word magic after seeing her, she had to take the initiative and beat the two star core hunters half to death.
Now, one of them was half lying on the ground gasping for breath, and the other was half kneeling in front of her on one knee, blocking her next move.
She raised her hand, softly retracted the dragon claw, and lifted the man's chin with one finger.
His eyes were a little dazed, and his red pupils were swaying between contraction and dilation.
It seems like I’m about to fall into the devil’s body… Hmm.
Lu Qi felt a little guilty.
That's right, at the time, the one who couldn't fight the most, besides her, was Brother Ying Xing. Even when Brother Ying Xing went to the battlefield, he had to stay behind. He was the craftsman who adjusted the Jin people, and he needed to be protected.
Now his swordsmanship is quite proficient, and it looks familiar, as if it was taught by Jingliu.
What on earth happened to these people?
"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" Lu Qi rubbed his face guiltily, "It's all your fault. Why did you resist... I just wanted to tie you both up."
The bandaged hand suddenly grabbed her fingers, and she noticed that the bandages gave off a lingering smell of blood.
She sighed and didn't press the issue any further. Instead, she worked tirelessly to heal his wounds using her water control skills.
His mind seemed to be blurry now, and he couldn't answer her questions. It was the same before, when he saw her attack, he didn't even dare to swing his knife, but only knew how to block Kafka's attack and block most of her attacks.
Lu Qi didn't control the strength of his attack on the enemy. When he saw Ren coming, he was too late to block the knife and was almost cut in half.
After treating the blade, Lu Qi stood up, walked around the half-kneeling man, and went towards Kafka behind her.
Blade was behind her, grabbing the hem of her clothes.
“…Don’t kill her.”
Lu Qi was so angry that he almost laughed.
"Have I become a killer in your heart? Bastard," she resisted the urge to punch Blade on the head, fearing that one punch would turn Blade into a piece of meat. "I'll treat her. If she keeps bleeding like this, she'll die. Let go."
Kafka closed her eyes and gasped. After Lu Qi finished treating her, she opened her purple-red eyes and spoke softly.
"We didn't bring the star core with us."
"Yeah, I guessed it," Lu Qi said nonchalantly, "but Jing Yuan wanted to catch you, and I came to help...why don't you just let yourself be caught? If it wasn't you who did it, I won't do anything to you."
"..." Kafka didn't believe it.
Lu Qi had grabbed the blade once before and almost put him in prison.
Otherwise, Kafka would not have chosen to rescue him halfway.
If they enter the prison of Luofu Fairy Boat, we can only send out Silver Wolf and Firefly to rescue them, and it may even cost a huge price.
"It's not the right time yet," she said.
"What difference does it make if it's earlier or later?" Lu Qi asked in confusion, "Well, since you said so..."
Lu Qi finally didn't pick up the rope hanging around his waist.
I don't know where this bad habit of hers came from. She carries the Immortal Binding Rope with her. Does she intend to catch any wanted criminal she sees?
However, the only wanted criminals in the Immortal Boat are the two Star Core Hunters.
"Aren and I both have people we want to see," Kafka said softly. After she was healed, she stood up from the ground and the first thing she did was to straighten her clothes. "Can we wait a few more system hours?"
"What, who do you want to see, Ren?" Lu Qi turned to look at him in surprise.
The indigo-haired man was silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "...I've seen it."
Theoretically, Jing Yuan should make the decision on the negotiation with the wanted criminal, but seeing Ren's current appearance, Lu Qi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Alright... for his sake, but I'm going to follow you. If you do anything that's detrimental to the Immortal Boat, I'll take action immediately, okay?"
She raised her sharp dragon claws and threatened.
Hearing Lu Qi's threat, Kafka was not afraid, but smiled with her lips curved.
Those pupilless purple eyes stared at her.
"We certainly won't do that."
Hmm...that makes sense.
Lu Qi believed it temporarily. After all, people wouldn't seek death in front of her. She could beat two people by herself and hammer their bodies into the ground, leaving only their heads exposed.
As a result, Lu Qi stared at the two of them all the way and found that they were really not doing their job.
In order to conceal their identities, they simply changed their clothes and even took Lu Qi away from places where they would be searched when she smelled the scent of the Cloud Cavalry.
Lu Qi was amazed.
No wonder no one except her could find these two people... Their anti-reconnaissance awareness must be maxed out. If she hadn't stepped in, it would have been easy for them to hide for a while.
It took her only a moment to go from staring to feeling bored. Kafka saw her boredom and gave her a flower rope to play with.
Lu Qi: "Do you think you can buy me off with just a piece of string?"
"I never felt that way."
"Okay, then Blade, play with me."
Lu Qi maliciously forced her old friend to play a super childish game with her. If it were the old him, he would probably press her head down and tell her to get out of the way so as not to disturb him while he was working.
Now he just frowned, glanced at her, and silently extended his hand.
There were countless scars on his hands, which were much bigger than Lu Qi's. Most of them were scars left after he became an immortal.
That is the medal of a man named "Yingxing", and it is the evidence of his breakthrough in his constant pursuit.
But now, the man named "Blade" is no longer proud, but silent, using his trembling hands to do delicate work.
“Pah.”
Lu Qi put away the flower rope and angrily slapped the back of Ren's hand.
"If you don't like it, don't do it," she said coldly, "I'm not interested in playing a 'make-up' game with you... You don't need to imitate Dan Feng and make up for me in every way."
"Brother Ying Xing, reject me, just like before."
"I don't want to refuse you."
"I'm not necessarily playing... I'm teasing you, don't you realize?"
"Yeah, I know."
This attitude is no different from that of the living dead. Lu Qi felt as if his enthusiasm had been poured with a bucket of cold water.
There is no time like this moment when we can better recognize the strangeness brought by time.
For Lu Qi, the memories of 800 years ago seemed like they happened just a few days ago. She had only been free for a week since she left the strategy line and returned home.
How could a week be enough time to forget the past?
She truly spent many years in the game.
Fighting alongside them, traveling and joking, partying and drinking, even going crazy and riding a starry raft to see the sea, breaking into someone's house in the middle of the night and digging him/her out of their nest, sitting on the roof and watching the virtual starry sky streak across the night sky...
Lu Qi still remembers.
She remembered Bai Heng's hearty smile, Jing Liu's raised wine glass, Jing Yuan's grimace, Dan Feng's helpless sigh, and Ying Xing's angrily rolled up sleeves.
It seems like yesterday.
Lu Qi became sad again.
"Okay, I know you're Ying Xing, but you're not exactly him," Lu Qi rubbed his stiff face, trying to cheer himself up. "Kafka wants to act alone, right? Then in exchange, you should tell me in advance what exactly you want to do?"
"..." Kafka glanced at Ren and said with a smile, "Believe it or not...we are saving the Immortal Boat."
"……ha?"
"The crisis facing the Immortal Boat this time is not only caused by external troubles, but also by internal ones."
"Jing Yuan already knew this. Can you tell me something useful? You guys are going to save the Immortal Boat? Just the two of you... but you can't beat me?"
"We are just one part of the plan to save the Immortal Boat," Kafka continued, "The one who can truly help you... is someone else."
This was said very straightforwardly, and Lu Qi immediately analyzed the forces that could help Xianzhou.
Combined with what was said before, we will soon see Dan Feng's reincarnation...
"Ah, you mean the Star Train..."
It was a force that was not an army, but possessed boundless power. They sailed under the protection of the pioneering star god Akivali. Even today, with Akivali's fall, many pioneers and unknown guests still walked the path of pioneering.
"I see."
Lu Qi knew who the leader of the Star Core Hunters was. Jing Yuan had told her that there was an unknown being named "Elliot" who was said to be able to see "destiny". The Star Core Hunters under his command had mixed reviews among the people.
However, the Interstellar Peace Company has always wanted to capture the Star Core Hunter. When Lu Qi saw the money on the wanted poster, his heart was deeply moved.
It seems like Kafka was arrested...
But he could only think about it. Seeing how much Ren valued his companion, maybe this stubborn bastard would find a way to rescue him. By then, the sky was high and the ground was far away. Even if Lu Qi wanted to rescue Ren, it would be too late.
And she might not be free... Who knows when the next Immortal Dragon dungeon will open.
Lu Qi has not forgotten who the character of this strategy mission is.
She was happy enough to see her old friends, she shouldn't be too greedy!
"It's almost time...it's time for me to play the role of being caught." Kafka said with a smile, "Do you want to come with me, Miss Lu Qi?"
"Don't add 'Miss' after my name. It sounds weird. Just call me by my first name, or add 'Sir'. It sounds better."
"Okay." Kafka agreed without hesitation.
"I'm not going," Lu Qi said, "I'll watch you from the dark. After you meet the person you want to meet, just be good and don't move around, okay?"

The author has something to say: Just a reminder that the blade here is not madly chasing Dan Heng
