Unlike Mr. Yang, Stelle and March 7th didn't think too much about it, and Dan Heng only took another look at Kiana before withdrawing his gaze.
Himeko was initially shocked as well, but she soon regained some of her composure, her amber eyes, warm as the sun, fixed on Kiana.
Kiana's kindness could never be repaid, simply never repaid; in just a few short days, she had given the Astral Express Crew so many good things.
"Alright, stop looking at this young miss like that. It's time to head to the Luofu."
Kiana's brows relaxed, and she spoke in a slightly relaxed and comfortable tone.
Delaying here for any longer would only make the situation on the Luofu harder to control.
"Ahem, the Astral Express is about to depart. Passengers, please take your seats!"
Pom-Pom reminded them after a light cough.
While speaking, Pom-Pom pointedly looked at March 7th, causing her to awkwardly turn her head away and stick out her tongue.
Fine, this lady will just sit properly this time... March 7th thought to herself.
Then, she obediently sat on the sofa, waiting for the Astral Express to Warp.
Stelle and Dan Heng sat on either side of March 7th, while Himeko and Mr. Yang sat together.
Seeing that everyone was safely seated, Pom-Pom initiated the Astral Express's Warp, setting the destination to the coordinates Kafka had provided.
Buzz—
Whoosh—
After the entire Astral Express entered a quantum state, it vanished from the spot with a flash of blue light.
Shortly after, a blue light flashed in front of the Xianzhou Luofu's Star Gate, and the Astral Express stopped before the Jade Gate following the Star Rail.
"So this is the Xianzhou Luofu... It's much bigger than Jarilo-VI..."
Leaning against the window, March 7th looked at the endless side of the ship's hull and let out an exclamation of profound shock.
If the Luofu is this big, then... March 7th's eyes sparkled as she looked at Kiana.
"Kiana, is your Wangshu also this big?"
"In principle, there isn't much difference in size between Wangshu and the Luofu."
Kiana had never actually calculated whether there was a size difference between her own Xianzhou and the others.
"If the Astral Express can Trailblaze to parallel worlds, you must let me go to Wangshu to have some fun!"
March 7th was already starting to fantasize about playing on Wangshu.
With a General as their backing, wouldn't Wangshu be free for the Astral Express Crew to play... no, explore and Trailblaze!
But in reality, everyone on the Astral Express Crew would be rendered speechless by the level of prosperity and the talent on Wangshu.
There were two Aeons alone, and even an Elysia whom Kiana was certain would undoubtedly ascend to godhood.
Plus, so many Emanators and numerous Aeon factions were entrenched on Wangshu.
If the Astral Express of this universe could Trailblaze to Kiana's Xianzhou, it would likely be an unforgettable experience for the crew for a lifetime~
Dan Heng also nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Even he was quite curious about the Xianzhou managed by Kiana.
Stelle scratched her head and looked at Kiana:
"Does your Xianzhou have trash cans?"
"Nonsense..."
Kiana's lip twitched as she retorted weakly.
This girl missed Firefly so much she was losing it; even if she searched through all those trash cans, she wouldn't find the Firefly inside the silver iron can.
Himeko's brow furrowed slightly as she looked at the closed Jade Gate of the Luofu.
"I haven't received any response to the communications I've been sending out; it seems something really has happened to the Luofu."
"That's right, the Jade Gate is securely closed, the Sky-Faring Commission isn't responding, and we can't get in at all-pom!"
Pom-Pom's ears drooped, and he spread his hands, somewhat at a loss.
"Didn't Kafka say there was a Stellaron crisis on the Luofu? But they won't even let us in now. What's going on?"
Hearing their words, March 7th spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Just as March 7th was grumbling, purple garbled code flashed on the Astral Express's central control screen.
"This is... someone is hacking into the Jade Gate, and their technique is very skilled."
Mr. Yang pinched his chin and analyzed carefully.
Then, a graffiti-style wolf head stamp appeared in the center of the screen, and a crack was slowly torn open in the Luofu's Jade Gate.
Strangely, the Luofu's autonomous defense system wasn't triggered at all, showing just how powerful the hacker's methods were.
[Bzz—]
[Go on in, I wish you luck~]
"You're quite impressive, Silver Wolf," Kiana said in a lighthearted tone, clapping her hands.
[Do you even need to say it~]
A girl's voice with a slightly mechanical texture urged from the screen.
The Astral Express slowly sailed into the Jade Gate, and then the crack in the Jade Gate quickly closed.
After entering the Jade Gate, the Astral Express stopped near the Central Starskiff Haven platform, and then Mr. Yang left the train with Stelle and March 7th.
Dan Heng chose to act alone because he always felt he would encounter someone unexpected.
After several people left, only Pom-Pom, Himeko, and Kiana remained on the Astral Express.
The 'Shut Up' in the Party Car... well, it doesn't count as a person.
"I suppose even if the Luofu is full of danger this time, they will be able to turn luck into safety. After all, the crew is now under your protection."
Himeko looked at Kiana with soft eyes and spoke in a gentle tone.
She believed that even if they encountered an Emanator, Welt and the others would have the strength to fight.
The power of the spirits, plus the God Ki they had barely crossed the threshold of, and most importantly, the protection of Kiana's God Ki.
Himeko didn't believe a common Emanator could break through this power of Kiana's.
"As long as they don't go looking for death themselves, they absolutely won't have any problems."
Kiana nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Himeko slightly curved her long index finger against her lips, her eyes narrowing slightly as she let out a light laugh.
"With Welt there, they won't..."
"That's true, Welt's style of doing things is relatively steady...?"
The more she said it, the more unreliable it felt. What did Kiana think of?
Mr. Yang would go head-to-head with others at the drop of a hat. Is that... really steady!?
"I feel like Welt might not be that steady..."
Thump-thump—
As she spoke, Kiana suddenly clutched her chest, her pupils suddenly constricted.
She seemed to have felt something just now... Thump-thump—
Kiana felt a throbbing sound like a heartbeat coming from within her soul.
Thump-thump—
Kiana's soul instantly detached from her body.
"Kiana...?"
"Passenger Kiana?"
Seeing Kiana's soul leave her body, Himeko and Pom-Pom cast puzzled looks.
She was staying perfectly fine in her body, why did she suddenly start playing with astral projection again?
Kiana's ears were filled with the echoes of a strong heartbeat, and she didn't hear the two of them calling her at all.
She looked up at the circular window on the ceiling of the Astral Express, looking through the window toward somewhere far off in the universe.
No, it should be said she was looking across this world toward another world.
Himeko and Pom-Pom also noticed something was wrong with Kiana; Kiana wasn't the type to ignore people.
What is she looking at...?
The two of them followed Kiana's gaze, but could only see the pitch-black space of the universe outside.
"I'm about to wake up...?"
What Kiana saw before her eyes was the scene in her own bedroom, where a giant rainbow-colored egg was throbbing rhythmically in the middle of the room.
And next to the egg was a gray-haired Damselette with a spiral Horsetail hairstyle; this Damselette had a shapely figure, and her face felt very familiar to Kiana!
"Little Brat...?"
This must be Bronya!
