Chapter 70 [Two in One] She Deserves to Live a Lifetime of No...
Lu Qi, who was originally on a happy vacation, was picked up by the dragon masters to work after only two days of rest.
She can already transform into a dragon. Even though the white dragon is very different from the Azure Dragon inheritance of the Luofu Chiming Clan, the dragon masters don't seem to care much about her color.
The reason why Lu Qi was asked to do the work this time was mainly because Dandingsi had some investigation results that required Lu Qi to deal with.
Dandingsi became the nest of the Medicine King's secret teachings and instigated many people from the Immortal Boat to rebel.
It is mainly composed of heretics who want to restore the way of immortality, and also involves human body alchemy.
Jing Yuan was keenly aware of the problem. The general, who was on sick leave, could not sit still and even had the leisure to organize the information for Lu Qi.
The Medicine King secretly uses a prescription called "Dragon Coiled and Qiu Leaping", which contains the bone marrow of the Chiming tribe.
"Wow... how bold," Lu Qi gasped after reading it. "Using the Chiming tribe as an experiment, are you trying to create another me?"
Lu Qi said, her expression not serious. Jing Yuan glanced at her and poked her forehead with his finger.
"Are you happy?"
"Not really, I just think they are really brave." Lu Qi held his chin and pointed his finger at the three words "Chi Ming Sui" written on the prescription.
Her body had been stolen, and in the Scaled Abyss Realm, the power of the Immortal Sea was immersed in the ancient Boyue Sea. Although Dan Feng's dragon transformation method failed in the end, his "leading role" seemed to be imprinted in the eyes of some people and became a "way out."
"Hey, lend me your special forces. I'll have them help me investigate some clues... I'm still too conspicuous like this. I'll be monitored no matter what I do."
Lu Qi raised his hand and touched the dragon horn on his forehead.
The golden dragon horns are very conspicuous no matter where they are, especially under the light, emitting iridescent light, dazzlingly bright.
"Are you talking about the allies of the Star Train?"
"Yeah," Lu Qi nodded, "They've been running errands for Fu Taibu these days, and Taibu is full of praise for their efficiency... and I can even have Dan Feng's reincarnation do the work for me. This life is worth it!"
Jing Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Hasn't Brother Danfeng done enough for you?"
"Oh, this is different."
Lu Qi still looked very relaxed. She lowered her head and sent a task in the group chat, asking them to help collect relevant information from Dan Dingsi. San Yueqi and Qiong agreed immediately, and even Dan Heng answered with an "OK".
The clues will be handled by the Starry Sky Train team, while Lu Qi himself has other things to sort out.
The information retrieved from the Dragon Masters was placed on Jing Yuan's chessboard. This guy had a very serious old man's mentality and even played chess with himself, which was extremely boring.
"Jingyuan," she held her chin, her eyes wide and bright, clear as a mirror, "Is Huanlong still in Luofu?"
"Hmm...it's hard to say," Jing Yuan pondered for a moment, then said with a smile. "This Great Lord of Extinction has no physical body, so he might be hiding in Luofu."
"Is she targeting me?"
"...Ah, Sister Lu Qi is still so sharp."
Isn't this easy to guess? When Lu Qi reached the Boyue Ancient Sea, he had already touched the edge of Jianmu, and the star core was placed inside Jianmu. They were guarded by the Antimatter Corps, so Banxia and the Haiyue team were ambushed and lost contact.
Lu Qi thought she would see Huanlong inside, but unexpectedly Huanlong was not there.
There are two beings in the Luofu Immortal Boat who are blessed by the Abundant Pharmacist.
One is the Jianmu that has been chopped off, and the second is Lu Qi himself.
Even though her current body has been recast for the second time, the blessing of the Abundant Pharmacist still remains inside her body and has not disappeared.
And abundant power was at her disposal.
As long as she wanted, she could control the life and death of others and grant them eternal life in an instant.
"So... am I being targeted by Huanlong, or by 'Destruction'?" Lu Qi murmured. Before Jing Yuan could answer, he sighed exaggeratedly, "It seems that I am the modern Tang Monk, the one who commands both the Army of Plenty and the Lord of Extinction..."
It is indeed a more difficult task than conquering the Abundant Pharmacist. It is very despairing no matter how you look at it.
It was clearly the Immortal Dragon's path, but she could only be found in limited-time dungeons. On the right timeline, she was a moving treasure: the Immortal Boat needed her, Abundance didn't let her go, and even Destruction had a hand in it.
This game doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it... She put destruction later, and with the current background, no wonder the rewards are so high...
Lu Qi scratched his face and stopped thinking.
This game can take her on an immersive journey through time, so what else can't it do!
"Whatever, one by one, two by two—now it's time for me to go out and play!"
"If you go out like this, you'll be surrounded by people."
"Yes, wait for me."
Lu Qi rushed into her room and searched the wardrobe for simple clothes. Unfortunately, Long Zun's position was extremely noble, and coupled with Jing Yuan's doting, she couldn't find a piece of clothing that didn't look so gorgeous.
Brother Jingyuan, this idiot, does he think he's playing a dress-up game?!
She rummaged through the pieces for a while, unpacking two of the suits and creating a less conspicuous outfit. It was white on top and red on the bottom, with a gold-red belt in the middle. The jade pendant she always carried with her was also a newly bought cell phone, the latest model, with powerful features and a stable signal.
The power of immortality can transform Lu Qi into the appearance of an ordinary person. After all, Dan Heng has learned that when that guy does not reveal his dragon appearance, his ears are fan-shaped ears that belong to an ordinary person in the fairy boat.
Lu Qi suddenly had an idea and replaced her ears, but her eyes and hair were difficult to control, just like the ahoge that would stand up on her hair when she woke up in the morning, and no matter how she combed it, she couldn't suppress it.
...Forget it, it’s also good to pretend to be a barbarian. After all, there is always someone better than you!
She changed her clothes and ran out, and even ran in front of Jingyuan and turned around.
"Look, can you still recognize me as Long Zun?"
The girl with white hair and golden eyes in front of him put away her dragon horns, and her long pointed ears turned into fan ears. Only her pair of golden vertical pupils showed something strange.
"I originally wanted to replace my eyes, but no matter how hard I pressed, I could only push the vertical pupil down," Lu Qi said regretfully. "Sometimes a green tint would appear... It's so strange, why is it green?"
The green pupils reminded her of the eyes of the Abundant Pharmacist, and for a moment her scalp tingled.
Scared.
I guess not... maybe it's the power of abundance? It's related to plants after all...
The appearance of white hair and golden eyes was not very eye-catching, but Lu Qi's face was conspicuous because of the statue of Chang Letian. She thought for a moment and changed her hairstyle decisively.
"Hurry, Jingyuan, help me," she pulled out a red hairband from Jingyuan, "I want to have the same hairstyle as you... If others think I look familiar, I will tell them that I am cosplaying as a general."
Jing Yuan: “?”
"You're not going to take me out with you?"
"I don't want you," Lu Qi said, "Qiong told me that Kafka and Ren are still in Luofu. Ren seems to have been injured by someone. I'm going to check on him by the way-"
"Alas... How can I say that you're good? How are you going to bribe me to pretend I didn't hear that the wanted criminal is still staying in Luofu?"
"Didn't you let them go? And you also accepted the Star Core Hunter's favor and the alliance with the Star Train," Lu Qi said, hands on his hips. "But I heard from Fu Taibu that you gave half of the alliance jade omen to the people of the Star Train."
"How can you call it a gesture of gratitude when it comes to forming an alliance?"
"Well, it looks like I'm going to use my ultimate move!"
After her hair was tied up, Lu Qi raised her hand and touched the high ponytail. She turned around, waved to Jing Yuan, and asked him to bend down.
Jing Yuan bent down obediently, but continued to speak harshly.
"We agreed not to pinch—"
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl held his face and gave him two loud kisses on the cheeks.
That was the treatment that belonged to Bai Heng and Jing Liu, but now it fell on Jing Yuan who was alone.
It's as if time has not flowed, and everything remains the same as before.
He stood there in a daze, his eyes fixed on Lu Qi blankly, until the little bastard gradually walked away, and then he regained consciousness.
Her scent still lingered on his face, sweet and strangely moist, like the smell of the ocean.
Jingyuan's mood became complicated.
...I always feel like I was kissed by a combination of Sister Lu Qi and Brother Dan Feng.
***
Qiong is such a good person, knowing that the blade in the Star Core Hunter's hand is closely related to her. This little friend of the Star Train has an amazing ability to observe. Although he doesn't say it out loud and often says some stupid things, he is still quite smart.
……perhaps.
Lu Qi arrived at the location he sent, but before he could go over, he saw a group of Cloud Cavalry patrolling nearby.
Isn't this a safe place?
Although Jing Yuan let the Star Core Hunters off because they had come with allies, he turned a blind eye. However, this was just Jing Yuan's own unconventional handling of the matter. In other words, it was against the rules. If the alliance knew about it, he would be held accountable.
The wanted order for the Star Core Hunter has not been cancelled yet, and the Cloud Cavalry will not know Jing Yuan’s plan, so as long as they catch him, he will definitely be sent to prison again.
In fact, Lu Qi was also eager to catch Ren in the prison. Seeing his half-dead appearance, he always felt that if he let him out, he would die in outer space.
As a friend, Lu Qi was very worried.
The gray-haired young man was waiting nearby early. Lu Qi sneaked around and avoided the Yunqi Army to meet him. As soon as they met, the man opened his eyes wide and his fur stood on end like a frightened raccoon.
"...Jing Yuan's COS?" he said, looking left and right, but couldn't find the teardrop mole under her eye, "There's still a dot of ink missing here."
As expected of her soul mate, he immediately spotted the significance of Lu Qi's attire. However, the young man in front of her was much taller than her, so Lu Qi could only step back, looking up with a smile on her face.
"I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot to order," Lu Qi said. "Do you have a black pen? Come over here."
The little raccoon's pockets had everything, and he actually found a pen with the words "Black Tower Space Station" printed on it.
Lu Qi knew about the Black Tower Space Station, a museum-style interstellar ship that cooperated with the Interstellar Peace Company. It was the messenger of the Intellectual Star God Boshizun and the property of Black Tower, a member of the Genius Club.
Before Lu Qi truly woke up, Luofu Zazu's hot searches were still filled with news that the Black Tower Space Station was being targeted by the Legion of Destruction.
Unexpectedly, the situation changed. Just a few days later, it was her turn to be targeted by the Legion.
"Don't move, let me click." The gray-haired young man lowered his head and quickly and accurately placed a stroke under Lu Qi's left eye.
Who can tell the difference between her and Jing Yuan now?
Lu Qi raised his head expectantly.
"How is it, does it look like that now?"
"Wait a minute." Qiong said, reaching out to pull Lu Qi's hair, so that the loose hair on the right side of her head half covered her right eye.
After finishing, Qiong gave a thumbs up.
"The similarity is 99%, and the remaining 1% is room for your improvement."
"Hmm, worthy of being me!" Lu Qi proudly put his hands on his hips. "By the way, where are they?"
"In Taipusi."
"……ah?"
"Very brave, huh?" Qiong said casually, "Originally I didn't want to go, but with you, it's different."
Lu Qi just listened to his nonsense.
He didn't go to see the Star Core Hunter to bring Lu Qi with him at all. He probably agreed because he cared about one of the hunters, the one named Kafka.
Lu Qi had dealt with Kafka long before the people from the Star Train arrived.
She watched Kafka arrange the encounter that had been foreseen long ago, watched Kafka watch Qiong enter the fairy boat from a distance, and staged a play just to see him.
The most important thing is what Ren said to her.
Kafka paid a lot of price to keep Qiong alive.
"Why must it be me?" Lu Qi asked him with interest, "Jing Yuan also knows Ren, and so does Dan Heng... Speaking of which, does Dan Heng know about your visit to meet the Star Core Hunter?"
"I didn't tell him." Qiong said righteously. He looked at Lu Qi, and the two pairs of eyes with similar colors stared at each other for a long time, both stubbornly refusing to look away.
In the end, it was Qiong who blinked first.
"Damn it... I actually lost the No Blinking Contest!"
"Hehe, I am the final winner!"
The two childish guys were talking and laughing, and when they were near Taibusi, they both tacitly avoided the patrolling Cloud Cavalry and came to the place where Kafka was located.
Seeing Qiong bringing Lu Qi together, Kafka did not show any surprise, as if she had already expected this.
This woman always looks confident no matter what...
"You're here," Kafka glanced at Qiong first, then at Lu Qi. She curved her eyes and turned sideways, revealing Ren sitting alone in the window. "He's been having frequent attacks of demonic spirits. Although he shouldn't see familiar people anymore...your presence makes a difference to him."
"Do you want to see him?"
Lu Qi nodded without hesitation. Before entering the room, she turned her head to look at Kafka, who obviously wanted to talk to Qiong alone.
"If he has a seizure, can I hit him?"
Kafka's smile was still firmly on her face.
"Please feel free to do as you please," she said. "Just be careful not to use too much force, or he'll go crazy again."
Lu Qi nodded thoughtfully.
She didn't do much research on the demonic body. When Lu Qi was studying at the Danding Division, she preferred to learn about those related to illnesses and pains.
The most common thing is to treat the diseases of short-lived species. After all, what you learn can be used in reality.
The immortal species is destined to be different from the short-lived species, and it seems that learning it is not very useful. In addition, the people in the fairy boat themselves have abundant blessings, and their wounds will heal on their own. As long as they have a good rest, they will generally be fine.
Lu Qi lifted the curtain of the gatehouse and walked in lightly.
The delicate heels landed on the ground without making a sound, but as she approached, a sweet scent first rushed into his confused thoughts.
The man with indigo hair opened his eyes.
The red pupils caught sight of Lu Qi's figure. He saw that her high ponytail was in a mess, with a few tufts of hair standing upright. Her golden vertical pupils were looking at him, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, which was placed there somehow, exuded a faint scent of ink.
"...What are you wearing?"
"Can't you tell? It's Jing Yuan's gender-swapped cosplay!" Lu Qi deliberately spun in front of Ren, her red skirt matching Jing Yuan's red pants. She even lifted the hem of her skirt, "Jing Yuan wears red pants, I wear a red skirt, my imitation is perfect!"
Although he had seen an old friend, Ren did not feel any confusion in his memory. He only felt that the nightmares that he could not get rid of were slowly dissipating.
"..." He watched in silence as her entire face approached, leaving no room for anything else in his sight except her.
"You should say something!"
"Unlike," Ren squeezed out these two words from his throat. Seeing Lu Qi glaring at him, he added, "You are much cuter than him."
"Okay, then I forgive you." Lu Qi smiled again. She sat down opposite Ren and poured him a cup of tea. "Drink some tea. I see your lips are dry. Don't torture yourself."
"……Um."
His relationship with Ren seemed no different from Dan Heng's.
Whether now or in the past, these two people would just listen most of the time, and only occasionally would they grab her and rub her face when they got angry.
But memories are always just memories, and the past is covered with a layer of dust. They both feel a very obvious distance from Lu Qi.
She tried to close the distance between the two sides, but it was not completely successful, but it was not a failure either.
It’s like childhood sweethearts who have grown up and have their own secrets and their own new circle of friends.
In Lu Qi's words, that is -
They are not the best in the world, they have other good friends outside!
But Lu Qi has always been good at using magic to defeat magic. Since they have other circles of friends, she also wants to join them.
As long as she makes friends fast enough, she won't feel unfamiliar. She is simply a genius!
"Kafka said you have a demonic spirit," Lu Qi went straight to the point. "Although I haven't studied the demonic spirit, I can diagnose you. Just stretch out your hand."
She began to fall into her own rhythm again. He was well aware of this and had no intention of resisting, so he obediently reached out his hand.
If anyone dared to speak to him like that, he would probably strike them with his sword.
While Lu Qi was taking Ren's pulse, he was chattering non-stop.
"I met Sister Jingliu at the Qilongtan before. Have you gone to see her?"
"Yes."
More than that, the woman came up and slashed him with a knife, telling him to stay away from Lu Qi no matter what.
Most of the wounds on his body were caused by the crazy woman. The painful nightmare penetrated into his body along with her sword moves. Coupled with that familiar face, he quickly fell into the devil's body.
Kafka's word magic couldn't suppress his abnormality even after being used many times. She had no choice but to find a place nearby to let him calm down before making plans.
But Ren didn't expect that the helper Kafka called would include Lu Qi.
Lu Qi would tie them both up and put them in the prison without saying a word. No one knew how she was persuaded not to attack him right away.
"Alas, my meeting with Sister Jingliu was a bit rushed, and I didn't have time to ask her how she was doing," Lu Qi said sadly, "and I also forgot to ask her why she didn't use the Zhili Sword anymore. I'm so curious. She used to treat the Zhili Sword as her lover, saying something like, 'The sword lives, the person dies, and the person dies.'"
She knew that Zhili was a weapon specially made by Ying Xing for Jingliu. With a casual swing of the sharp blade, it could penetrate into hard soil and rocks.
The graceful swordsman loved it very much and often bought some flashy things to maintain his sword.
Lu Qi had never seen the appearance of the cloth covering the broken sword being lifted up. The sword was leaning against his chair, openly attracting her attention.
After Dai Ren finished taking the man's pulse, the man's pulse seemed very abnormal, but it was currently in a strange state of balance.
To continue the judgment, samples need to be taken for processing...but there are no tools nearby, so Lu Qi can only take a casual look and come to the conclusion that the blade is beyond saving.
"Looking at your pulse, you could be in a coffin in the next second," Lu Qi said mercilessly, "I don't dare give you any medicine, but if you feel uncomfortable, just go to sleep and don't do anything."
"I know."
"Alas, I didn't expect that when I woke up this time, you would become my patient, and you were in a critically ill state," Lu Qi pretended to cry, letting go of Ren's hand and reaching for the Zhili Sword beside him. "You have to live longer, I want to see your face again."
Lu Qi always speaks her mind, and sometimes she is so blunt that he feels as if she has no brains.
It was the same at this moment. The words she said were not comforting, but stabbing into people's hearts.
But Blade didn't care.
What he cared about more was Lu Qi's sneaky actions.
The man reached out and grasped Lu Qi's outstretched wrist. Her fingertips barely touched the cloth wrapped around the Zhili Sword.
"Don't want to show it to me?"
Blade was silent.
It's not that he didn't want her to see the Fragmented Sword, but the Fragmented Sword was now full of traces of cracks, and those parts that had been barely repaired were ugly, just like his current appearance.
Cut to pieces, mended—the only thing he didn't want her to see was her old, beloved friends at war, the chasm that lay between them, between all of them.
Just like his current wish.
He waited for death, waited for eternal sleep, and anxiously wanted to end it all.
But I don't want her to bear this heavy burden.
She should have been a free bird, the scorching sun, and should have lived a worry-free life.
