"Tsk, what can I do? I'm just too kind-hearted."
Bai Zhi shook her head and placed her hand on the steam tower behind her. The power of the dragon talisman was activated instantly, and the entire tower immediately emitted astonishing heat, which was then transmitted to the surrounding houses through the heating pipes.
The houses that had been frozen in the wind and snow began to thaw, and the workers cheered.
"Wow, these workers are saved! The protagonist is too powerful!"
"Huh...is that March 7th's voice?"
Bai Zhi scratched her head, puzzled. How could she dream about March 7th?
However, after the voice of March 7th entered, Bai Zhi discovered that the entire dream began to distort and then slowly shattered until she opened her eyes again.
The snow and ice have disappeared, replaced by the cozy room of March 7th. Inside, an old movie called "Saving the Snow Country" is playing, and the scene is currently frozen on the moment when the protagonist stands on the steam tower to save people.
"So, the reason I dreamed about all of that was because I was watching this movie on March 7th?"
Realizing this, Bai Zhi was both amused and exasperated.
Then Bai Zhi felt soft and fragrant all over her body.
"Hey, Little Baizhi, you're finally awake? You were sleeping so soundly on that planet, we couldn't wake you up no matter what we did. I asked Danheng, and he said not to worry, so I carried you to my room."
It turns out that this feeling came from the embrace of March 7th.
Bai Zhi didn't speak, but turned her body around and lay face down on March 7, then arched her back forcefully.
Yes, as expected of the mascot of the Bengtie, March 7 is indeed fragrant and soft, with a special scent on her body. If Bai Zhi were to describe it, it would be a light citrus scent mixed with the warmth of the sun, which is very captivating.
Faced with Bai Zhi's actions, March 7 was stunned for a moment, then revealed a maternal smile. She reached out her hand and gently hugged Bai Zhi.
It was only on March 7th that she realized that Bai Zhi's actions and words over the past few days had led her to believe that Bai Zhi was as mature as Dan Heng. But now, she felt that this child, just like her appearance, was just a child.
Children this age should be happily learning and playing on the spaceship, not being hunted down on the space station, much less being blasted by the orbital cannons of the interstellar spaceship.
Having gone through so much, she must be exhausted, which is probably why she just fell asleep.
For children this age, there's been so much information these days; a good night's sleep can really help relieve all that stress.
Thinking of this, March 7th's movements became even gentler as he softly stroked Bai Zhi's back.
"If I wake up like this, what about the players' storylines? Won't this seem a bit abrupt?"
Faced with March 7's caress, Bai Zhi, who had just woken up, actually felt a little sleepy again, but she still asked the system in her mind.
[Host, don't worry, the storyline is already complete. Your use of the Dragon Talisman to enhance the Steam Tower is the ending. However, for the player, it requires a lot of simulation management to properly arrange the workers, but ultimately it still can't hold on, which is why you used the Dragon Talisman.]
"What about my gacha pool? I saw in the comments that my gacha pool isn't there."
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhi raised this important question. You see, the gacha pool is an important source of popularity growth. No matter how good the character design is, if players don't get it, the popularity will drop quickly.
Similarly, the process of developing a character is also a process of players investing attention and care in that character.
Your gacha pool will be unlocked after players complete the simulation management event. During these days, your popularity will increase with each draw from the gacha pool.
"Phew...that puts my mind at ease."
37 Goodbye White Dew
"Is she the one Elio was talking about, the one who destroys fate?"
In a corner of the train, a silver-haired girl blew a bubble and watched with interest as Bai Zhi walked out of the room on March 7th.
Yes, Elio said she shouldn't be in the script at all; she caused our plans to keep changing.
The message immediately popped up on the silver-haired girl's phone, and if anyone else were present, they could clearly see that the sender of the message was named "Kafka".
"Phew... Alright, this is why you called me here, Kafka. Using Ether Editing to send her back to the Immortal Ship won't solve the problem. Getting rid of her directly is indeed the simplest way."
As the silver-haired girl spoke, she brought up a virtual screen and began typing something on it.
[Yes, although she disrupted destiny, she is not an enemy that needs to be eliminated, so just send her back to the immortal ship. Distance will be a barrier.]
"This is a simple matter; it's just a matter of sending her back to the Immortal Ship."
The silver-haired girl took off her sunglasses, then leaned against the side of the aisle, waiting quietly.
"Ah~ It feels so good, the embrace of March 7th."
As soon as Bai Zhi stepped out of March 7's room, she couldn't help but stretch. She had just had a good sleep in March 7's embrace, and the soft and warm feeling was simply unforgettable.
No wonder people say that beautiful girls are a gift from heaven, let alone a mascot like March 7th, who is a true treasure.
Later on, I must find an opportunity to sleep in the embrace of March 7th every day.
But why is there an extra person in front of us?
After stretching, Bai Zhi rubbed her eyes to make sure there was indeed someone in front of her—a silver-haired girl dressed in a very cyberpunk style.
Who else could it be but Silver Wolf?
But that doesn't make sense. Bai Zhi clearly remembers that the Star Core Hunters, Silver Wolf and Kafka, only appeared after the train cleared Planet Yalilo 6 and warned the train crew about the Immortal Ship.
We haven't even reached Yalilo 6 yet, so how did Silver Wolf suddenly appear on the train? This doesn't make sense in the story.
Just as Bai Zhi was trying to find the words to ask something, Silver Wolf smiled at her first, "Little sister, it's time to go home~"
"Eh?"
Upon hearing the other person's voice, Bai Zhi was somewhat bewildered, completely failing to understand the meaning of those words.
However, the next moment, Bai Zhi knew what was going on, because she found that the pixelated effects unique to silver wolves were appearing around her, and her lower body had fallen into nothingness.
At this moment, Bai Zhi, who was familiar with the Silver Wolf's settings, knew that this was most likely due to the Ether Editing technology, and that she might be teleported away.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just taking you home."
Along with Silver Wolf's words and the faint scream of March 7th that she heard last, Bai Zhi felt her vision go black, and when the light returned, she was already in a familiar place.
That's right, it's the Immortal Boat.
Moreover, it wasn't just any place on the Immortal Ship, but the Pill Cauldron Division.
"Bai... Bai Zhi?"
While Bai Zhi was still somewhat dazed, she suddenly felt herself being hugged by a small body.
The sudden attack made Bai Zhi stiffen, but she quickly relaxed because she knew who this small body was. There was no one else in the Dan Ding Division.
"Alright, dear Teacher Bailu, you don't need to be so excited to see me."
Bai Zhi pried open Bai Lu's arms that were tightly wrapped around her, then turned around and saw that the already red eyeliner of the Medicine-Holding Dragon Girl of the Wisdom Clan had become even redder, and it even seemed to be spreading outwards.
"Hey, why are you crying?"
Bai Zhi reached out and wiped away the tears from Bai Lu's eyes.
"You...you rascal, do you know how worried I've been about you lately? These days, I can't even drink my favorite fairy happy tea."
"And those old men, they come here all day long sulking and blaming me for not keeping a close eye on you."
As Bai Lu spoke, her cheeks puffed out, and she looked angry, but she still stared intently at Bai Zhi, as if afraid that Bai Zhi would disappear from her sight again.
"Alright, it was just an accident." Bai Zhi reached out and pinched Bai Lu's cheek.
Hmm, it feels smooth to the touch, as if you could squeeze water out of it if you pinched it lightly. In the past two years, she has rarely been able to do this, because Bai Lu always resists fiercely, saying that she is her master and that she cannot do such a disrespectful thing to her master.
Although Bai Zhi wanted to say that they slept together every night, what was wrong with pinching each other's cheeks?
"Hmph, don't you know how worried I am?"
Bai Lu slightly raised her head, put her hands on her hips, and presented a standard arrogant posture.
Bai Zhi also knew that Bai Lu's feelings for her were not just those of a teacher and student, but rather those of a true kindred spirit.
Yes, the same kind, not based on the identity of "holding the light," but on the same kind.
Because she, like Bailu, has dragon horns, which is completely different from ordinary Chiming, and there is indeed a strange attraction between them.
Although she and Bai Lu shared a room, there were two beds in it.
But later, for some reason, Bailu ran to her bed and insisted on sleeping with her.
Of course, Bai Zhi did not refuse, as it was not illegal. Strictly speaking, although her height was similar to Bai Lu's, she was less than three years old. Both she and Bai Lu were still children.
What's wrong with two kids sleeping together? Anyone thinking dirty thoughts should go stand in the corner.
However, whenever Bai Zhi held Bai Lu at night, she also felt a strange sense of peace.
If I had to describe it, I would say that she is like a raging fire, while the white dew is like gentle water, creating a wonderful sense of harmony between yin and yang.
This feeling wasn't very strong before, but just now when Bai Lu hugged her, Bai Zhi felt that this experience seemed to have become much stronger.
"Of course I know. With my dear teacher's kind heart, how could she not worry about me? So, I've decided to buy some strong medicine to cure Master Bailu's illness caused by worry during this time."
"For example, the latest flavor of Fairy Happy Tea, start with four cups, then a pure meat family bucket, and add a lot of other desserts, it will definitely cure your illness."
"You've got a conscience after all. Let's go eat... no, let's go get some treatment!"
Sure enough, when food was mentioned, Bai Lu immediately revealed her true colors, showing her gluttonous appearance.
38 Master Bailu, why are you blushing?
When Bai Zhi and Bai Lu came out of the Dan Ding Si's room, the Chi Ming clan members guarding the door widened their eyes in surprise.
"Bai...Bai Zhilongnu?!"
The man from the Vidyadhara tribe rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked at them carefully again, confirming that it was indeed Angelica dahurica.
He was completely shocked. As the guardian of Bai Lu in the Dan Ding Division, he knew a lot about the inside story and how furious the Dragon Masters were after Bai Zhi's disappearance. They even stopped showing any respect to Bai Lu, the current Dragon Lord.
He even knew that the Dragon Masters had secretly speculated that Bai Lu was jealous of Bai Zhi's talent and had set a trap to get rid of Bai Zhi.
Although he knew that this speculation was completely unfounded, Bai Lu, as the Dragon Girl who carried medicine, even if she could not win people's hearts because she lacked combat power, was undoubtedly kind-hearted as the current Dragon Lord who had embarked on the path of abundance.
But those old men wouldn't believe it; they'd only speculate about everything with the dirtiest ideas.
"How exactly did Bai Zhilongnu return?"
He was a little confused, but he didn't rush to disturb them. Instead, he took out his phone, quietly took a picture of the two of them, and sent it to his superior.
He wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing; he'd let the dragon masters handle it.
Of course, the guardian who held up his phone to send a message was not the only one; Bai Zhi did as well.
Bai Zhi opened the group chat for the Starry Sky Train family.
March 7th: [@Baizhi, little Baizhi, can you receive this message?]
Bai Zhi: [Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine.]
Himeko: [The train was inexplicably hacked just now. I heard from March Seven that you're missing.]
Bai Zhi: [I was just teleported back to the immortal ship, nothing serious, you don't need to worry.]
Walter: [It seems train security still needs to be strengthened. Being hacked without even realizing it has serious consequences.]
Danheng: [Baizhi, did you see the person who attacked you?]
Bai Zhi: [I didn't see clearly, but that person probably didn't mean me any harm, otherwise they wouldn't have just sent me back to the Immortal Ship.]
March 7th: [Although there was no ill intent, that person was just too awful. Little Baizhi, we will definitely come to the Immortal Boat to see you!]
Himeko: [Yes, that's right, the train will visit the Celestial Ship later on.]
Bai Zhi: [That's great! I can bring my warship back while I'm at it too!]
After typing these words, Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. The interstellar era is great. Even across vast distances of galaxies, communication is possible through the ubiquitous network. In a more primitive world, this state of being out of contact would be incredibly frustrating.
As for why Bai Zhi didn't mention anything about Silver Wolf, it's mainly because she could roughly guess the reason for Silver Wolf's actions. Her intervention must have changed many things.
At least, such a large Earth suddenly appeared in this world, and the Star Train stayed there for quite some time.
According to the normal schedule, the train crew should have already entered the Yalilo 6 and started the storyline by now.
As is well known, Star Core Hunters have a script, or so-called destiny, and they must have disrupted the predetermined destiny.
Therefore, it's normal for them to send Silver Wolf to get rid of him.
After putting down her phone, Bai Zhi took a deep breath, smiled again, and took Bai Lu's little hand as they walked towards Jinren Alley.
