Chapter 7 Miss Qingyuan My Miss Qingyuan~
Chapter 7 Miss Qingyuan My Miss Qingyuan~
Inside the Dan Ding Division, Qing Que and Bai Lu were playing a game that was "not so new".
"Miss Qingyuan, my Miss Qingyuan—" Qingque wiped away non-existent tears with her sleeve and cried out in a sorrowful voice to a black and white portrait of Qingyuan that she had somehow acquired on a small table.
"Wow, Miss Qingyuan—" Bailu followed suit, rubbing her eyes with her little hands, looking like she was about to cry.
"You two, having a good time while I'm 'gone'?" Qingyuan's voice drifted in from the doorway, chilly. "I've only been looking for a light cone for a moment, and you've already put up my portrait?"
Bai Lu wasn't intimidated at all. Instead, she put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Didn't you two teach me to play this kind of game with Miss March? This is called passing on the torch!"
Qingque chimed in with a grin, "I must say, this feels quite interesting."
A few fortune tellers passing by were almost startled, thinking we were twins wailing at a funeral.
"Since that's the case," Qingyuan approached, her gaze shifting between the two, "how about we become sworn brothers? Although I'm not even twenty yet, according to the age conversion in our area, I'm about...
"Not even two thousand years old, right?" Qingque rolled her eyes at her. "So what are you doing here at the Pill Refining Division again? I wasn't slacking off; Bailu told me to come."
"I didn't ask you, but you're asking me instead." Qingyuan raised an eyebrow, then looked at Bailu.
"And Little White Dew, you have some free time but didn't come to play with me first? It seems that the fragrant rice, 'Yellowstone Cheese Potato Fries' and this huge cup of 'Fairy's Happy Tea' that I brought will have to enjoy by myself."
She magically produced a fragrant food bag.
Bai Lu's eyes lit up instantly, and she ran over, saying, "No, no! We were just about to come find you! Please don't be angry!"
Qingyuan then smiled and opened the bag, and the three of them sat down to share it.
"Cough! Cough cough—!" Qingque had just taken a sip of her drink when her face instantly scrunched up. "This taste...it's pure soda soy milk! You've tricked me again!"
"There are so many delicious things here, who would have thought you would pick that unpackaged bottle at first glance?" Qingyuan spread her hands innocently, "Aren't you from the Wisdom Destiny?"
It doesn't seem like it.
Amidst the laughter and banter, Qingyuan announced some good news: "I have great news to share—I'm joining the Pill Refining Division! I can come visit you every day now, Bailu, aren't you excited?"
Anyway, no one can get me out of here now, so it's good to be with you every day.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!" Bai Lu choked this time, almost spilling her cup of tea. "You...you know medicine?"
"don't know."
Qingyuan said frankly, "But I happen to remember a secret technique that was modified from 'Free Manifestation'. It is said to be able to make up for some of the innate defects of the Immortal Ship people."
The Marshal nodded, but the control was very strict, and treatment was only permitted in a special "Moon-Mending Pavilion" within the Luofu Danding Division.
The name is quite elegant, isn't it? Anyway, starting next month, I'll be the Chief Alchemist of the Moonlit Court, congratulations!
Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, then said seriously, "Then you can't mess around when I'm treating patients, okay?"
"Don't worry." Qingyuan blinked, her expression becoming more serious. "Actually, I came to see you for another reason—I'm going to help you remove the 'Ruler Wood Binding Lock' and, by the way, use a specially made light contract to guide your memory spirit to help you steadily control your power."
General Jingyuan has already agreed. Now, all you two need to do is come with me to Qiongguan Formation to confirm the plan's safety.
"Really?!" Bai Lu was so surprised she almost jumped up, and immediately rushed towards the Taibu Temple with the speed of a god possessed by the sun. "Then what are we waiting for! Let's go!"
"Why do I have to work overtime again..." Qingque sighed, resignedly taking out her jade tablet to order a star raft.
Every time the Qiong Guan formation was deduced, she and Qing Yuan had to be present as "anchor points." Although it took up a lot of time, her workload was not reduced at all.
"Wait a minute," Qingque suddenly realized something, "It's just a security test, why do we both have to come?"
---
Inside the Grand Divination Office, Fu Xuan had already adjusted the formation. As the Qiong Guan Formation activated again, the scene within the light screen began to flow.
Qingyuan stared blankly at the scene that appeared in the array, which was clearly a future timeline: "Weren't we only looking at safety? Why are we starting to speculate about the future again?"
"Ahem," Fu Xuan explained without changing his expression, "we must first confirm the source and essence of the light cone you are using before we can determine its reliability. Tracing its origins naturally involves related future fragments."
"is that so……?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
Qingyuan was skeptical, and turned her gaze to the light and shadow in the array.
(Phew... It seems that Qingyuan's "shrewdness" is indeed far inferior to Qingque's. The Chaos Doctor's medicine really does damage the brain.) Fu Xuan thought to himself.
The scene within the formation kept changing, finally settling on one moment—
The now-adult Bai Lu was addressing a group of dragon masters in a stern voice. Her imposing demeanor was completely different from that of the lively little dragon girl at that moment.
"Is this...is this me in the future?" Bai Lu murmured.
In the video, the voice of the adult Bailu can be heard clearly:
"After this, we may not succeed, but you will all be reborn. From then on, we will be infamous for eternity and forever nailed to the pillar of shame in the annals of Luofu."
Those who still have doubts may now leave.
However, none of the dragon masters present backed down; their expressions were solemn and resolute.
"Fortunately, I studied pharmacology extensively in my early years, so I should not make the same mistake as Danfeng."
She looked around at everyone and spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Then—activate the wondrous method of dragon transformation!"
Outside the formation, Jing Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted!
The scene within the formation continued: members of the Vidyadhara clan fell one after another, and finally, a hazy blue figure emerged in the radiance.
The last remaining dragon master rose shakily and asked in a trembling voice, "Lord Qingque... is that you?"
The figure nodded and took out a light cone: "Even if I have no memories, this light cone can still manifest my past life in the form of a spirit."
Having made all these preparations, what terrible calamity has befallen Luofu?
The Dragon Master knelt on one knee: "The remains of the breeding have all been transformed into immortal resources. Luofu just broke through the siege not long ago, and there is nothing of great importance at the moment."
"Nothing happened?!" The figure in blue rage erupted. "Do you know what crime you have committed?!"
The Dragon Lord didn't even leave behind the Vidyadhara Egg; after paying such a price, you tell me it's nothing?!
"General, we are willing to accept any punishment."
But without the united efforts of everyone at Luofu, this would never have succeeded. Now, with the situation so drastically changed, only you can lead Luofu forward!
"What punishment can I possibly give you, a body on the verge of rebirth?" The figure's voice was subdued. "I ask you—where is Yanqing? Where is Li Sushang? Where is Huo Huo? How dare they allow you to do such a thing!"
"Lord Yanqing fought alone against the Great Lord of Annihilation, 'Guangshi,' and was severely injured. He can now only control two flying swords and is being cared for and recuperating by the Cloud Cavalry."
Sword Master and Judge have gone to meet with the Marshal to report on the current situation in Luofu. We... have taken this opportunity to connect with Fanghu, announcing our departure from the Immortal Ship and the establishment of our own Dragon Court.
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan's heart trembled once more!
"How dare you?! And what makes you so sure I will agree?! Aren't you afraid of the Marshal personally leading the expedition to punish you?!"
"We are all acting in accordance with the general's original will."
Dragon Master looked up, his eyes filled with a desperate determination, "Back then, the Immortal Boat Alliance had already abandoned us like worn-out shoes!"
They wouldn't even beg for an arrow from the Emperor's bow for us, leaving us to sink in the sea of suffering!
Since you pulled Luofu out of calamity, all the creatures on this ship—recognize only the general, not the marshal!
Outside the battle formation, all was deathly silent.
All eyes turned to Qingyuan and Qingque with mixed feelings. Bailu subconsciously took a half step back, but immediately stood still, turning to the side to block Qingyuan.
The scene abruptly ends there.
"What kind of reasoning is this?!" Qingyuan's scalp tingled, and she waved her hands repeatedly. "Unofficial history! It's definitely fabricated by fictitious historians!"
It has nothing to do with me; I'm just an anonymous passerby!
Qingque, however, rolled her eyes back and collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious.
Marshal Hua stepped forward, his voice steady yet carrying an undeniable authority: "First, escort the Dragon Lord back to the Pill Cauldron Division. Summon Yanqing and Li Sushang here to serve as anchor points with me and continue the deduction."
"Please believe that Qingyuan is a good person!" Bailu shouted before being taken away.
Despite the astonishing sight, Hua's attitude towards Qingyuan remained unwavering—the seal of the same origin, which only she could unlock and which seemed to have been set by her own hands, was itself a profound expression of trust.
Before long, Yanqing and Li Sushang were brought to the front of the battle.
As for how Luo Fu found so many plain-clad women, he found the one who was known to both Qing Que and Qing Yuan.
The Qiong Guan Formation activated again. Su Chang pointed curiously at the "corpse-like" Qing Que on the ground: "Is she... alright?"
"It's alright," Fu Xuan said calmly. "He pretended to faint first, and then simply fell asleep. His life is not in danger."
The scene within the formation appeared—
Marshal Hua turned around and stared at the newcomer: "What do you mean by this?"
Fang Hu and his gang escaped by leaping into space after throwing General Fubo into space, intending to launch a joint rebellion. Yet you come to see me in this state—are you trying to force me to abdicate?
Qingyuan, her hands cuffed, bowed her head and said, "A sinner... should look like a sinner."
Qingque knew full well that she had become a wicked creature, committing an irreparable sin.
"I understand you're in pain." Hua's voice was unusually gentle. "To resist the erosion of reproduction and abundance, to pursue immortality but to face the annihilating lord 'Light' who specializes in this path... you've done enough."
Moreover, the Immortal Ship is currently beset by internal and external troubles, and the situation is turbulent. You cannot die.
Now that I have been reincarnated, I will live on in the name of Qingyuan.
"Qingque's memories have not been erased in the slightest. How can she be exonerated by the name of reincarnation?" Qingyuan raised her head, her eyes resolute. "I will quell the turmoil, and then... I will face my end."
Hua shook his head: "Whoever kills you now will incur the hatred of the entire Luofu."
"But there is one," Qingyuan said softly, "whose judgment will be absolute justice, beyond dispute."
The following scene flashes: Qingyuan returns to Luofu to set things right, just as Huanlong attacks Fanghu, and the main blame is placed on her.
In the end, she hung alone in the starry sky, the entire Immortal Ship Alliance's eyes focused on her.
She summoned the enormous "Insect Lord," as large as a star, and closed her eyes to wait.
An indescribable, majestic will descended upon the starry sky, and a golden arrow of light pierced through the air!
"Not good! The Qiong Guan Formation cannot fully reproduce the Star God projection!" Fu Xuan exclaimed urgently.
Hua also took action, using his own power to adjust the overflowing hunting power within the formation to a controllable range.
The moment the arrow of light pierced Qingyuan, she thought, "Is this... peace?"
However, consciousness did not dissipate.
She opened her eyes and saw that the remains of the "Insect Lord" were being reshaped in the golden light, transforming into three golden-armored deities who were more solid and pure than before.
At the same time, two phantom figures appeared beside her: one was a white-haired fox-person, and the other was a Vidyadhara dragon.
Behind each illusory figure stood a true divine ruler.
Hua appeared beside her, facing the entire Immortal Ship Alliance, and solemnly declared:
"Your own desire to hunt has been recognized by the Emperor's Bow Master."
"You have committed grave crimes, yet your initial intention was for the sake of the Immortal Ship. Now that the indisputable judgment has been handed down—"
She turned and looked at Qingyuan:
"In the name of the Marshal, and in the presence of the entire Immortal Ship Alliance, I hereby pardon you, Qingyuan, for all your sins."
Back at the Luo Fu crowd, Qing Yuan smiled bitterly as she looked at them who had come to welcome her: "This is truly... cruel tenderness."
---
The image disappeared.
Qingyuan breathed a long sigh of relief—she was really afraid that Marshal Hua would "deal with" her after reading it.
Hua stretched his shoulders and arms, a rare sight, and said thoughtfully, "So you proved yourself by attracting the light arrow of the Emperor's Bow... You can give that light cone to the Dragon Lord."
Her gaze fell on Qingque, who was still "unconscious": "As for this girl... although the Immortal Ship will surely have a countermeasure in the future, judging from the deduction, she is indeed a promising talent."
For the next period of time, she will study with me.
---
"Qingque, wake up. Qingque?" Fu Xuan shook the person on the ground, and seeing no response, he thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice, "Qingque! Are you slacking off here again?!"
"Wow! Lord Taibu, I was wrong! I'll go to work right away!" Qingque jumped up with a start.
Fu Xuan crossed his arms, his face expressionless: "No need. From today onwards, you will come with the Marshal."
"Huh?! Those were all done by Qingyuan! It has nothing to do with me!"
And so, Qingque began her studies with trepidation, following Hua's guidance.
At first, she was asleep and unaware of anything, so she thought she was going to die.
When exchanging blows, everyone thought they were going to die in the next second.
Later, when the marshal asked her to help with official business, which even involved a lot of confidential information, she began to subtly probe and eventually learned everything.
"Nobody told me, not even you!"
"If that's the case, then we won't see the diligent Qingque anymore. I think you probably won't have time to improve your martial arts then, so I'll help you so that it's at least not a significant weakness."
Not only that, she also had to assist in the affairs of the Imperial Apostle and test the approval of official documents in the Shence Palace.
However, it was ultimately Jingyuan who reviewed and discussed each decision.
Yan Qing's expression was somewhat gloomy. In his deduction, he resisted the attack of the Great Lord of Annihilation, Guang Shi, under the blessing of the great formation, and desperately protected Luo Fu.
In the end, he was so badly injured that he was completely helpless and unable to do anything.
However, the view is not from the main perspective, so apart from the people in the formation, everyone else can only watch it through replays.
That immense pressure still sends chills down his spine to this day, but at the same time, he can also feel how powerful he was back then.
But I couldn't bear to hear about his final fate. Luckily, General Qingyuan was reliable and didn't actually try to create some kind of Dragon Court, otherwise he would have died a truly pathetic death.
Su Chang looked somewhat comical—she was engrossed in studying the Jade Dictionary.
When she reported to Marshal Hua in her future vision, she used concise and complex language, which she could only partially understand now, so she had to catch up on her learning.
She even wondered if that was her future self, or maybe it was just someone who looked a lot like her.
"Is that really me in the future? How could I possibly speak like that?"
"Have you contacted the wrong person?"
"If the wrong person was found, then the scene could not be deduced. Instead, it is her own perspective, which only proves that the anchoring was not wrong."
"You've changed so much."
