After the farce ended, Jingliu, with a cold face, displayed her powerful strength to coerce everyone into forgetting the scene that had just occurred before finally letting them off.
Afterward, Jingliu's eyes were somber as she stared intently at Kiana; she knew that her current state was all the other's doing.
However, under Kiana's solemn explanation, Jingliu actually...
Was completely hoodwinked.
Kiana's 'I did my best' expression, combined with the perfectly timed flash of guilt in her eyes, made Jingliu believe it to be true.
The Demonic Yin Body condition really had been cured by her, it was just that there were some insignificant side effects after the recovery...
Jingliu remained silent for a long while before accepting this result. After all, compared to the previous state where she couldn't control her own madness and destroyed everything around her, now...
Alleviating it through uncontrollable acting cute was actually much better.
It would only lead to a bit of social death for herself, but at least she wouldn't kill the innocent anymore.
At this point, someone might ask—
Are you sure that after your bashful, young-daughter-like posture was seen by others, you won't feel the urge to kill them?
To this, Jingliu naturally only gave a faint smile.
Take a guess?
"A happy ending for everyone is naturally good, but..."
Jing Yuan retracted the smile in his eyes, revealing the majesty belonging to a General of the Luofu, and looked at Jingliu with an interrogating gaze:
"Sinner Jingliu, during this critical period of the Stellaron outbreak, you infiltrated the Xianzhou with your accomplice Luocha. What exactly is your intent?"
After a long while, it was time for official business.
Jing Yuan already knew that the Stellaron crisis from beginning to end was caused by Phantylia colluding with the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus to secretly transport it to the Luofu.
Knowing this, Jing Yuan was somewhat concerned about the purpose of the suspect Luocha, whom Yanqing had captured earlier, and his confessed accomplice Jingliu, in coming to the Xianzhou.
Taking advantage of this chaos, what exactly did they want to do?
Especially since Jingliu was a Sinner who had violated multiple iron laws among the Ten Unpardonable Sins, a crime beyond forgiveness.
Jing Yuan, who knew his master very well, naturally knew it was impossible for her to be so bored that she just wanted to come and see him.
"Hehe..."
Jingliu's eyes flickered slightly as she gave Jing Yuan a gratified look. Then, she dispersed the Floretransience sword in her hand, crossed her arms, and said in a light, relaxed tone:
"Luocha and I indeed have important matters, but this secret will only be revealed in full once we meet the Alliance Commander."
Jingliu did not state her purpose, causing Jing Yuan to frown slightly.
It was likely that Jingliu had intended to be captured from the very beginning when she came to the Luofu.
As a perpetrator of serious crimes, her purpose in coming to the Luofu was to trigger the Ten-Lords Decree, be escorted to Xuling, and gain the qualification to speak with the Marshal.
To go to such lengths despite the danger, Master must have something that the Alliance cannot ignore...
Something important enough to pardon a criminal of the 'Ten Unpardonable Sins' level.
"..."
Jing Yuan closed his eyes, his fingers rhythmically tapping on his elbow as his arms remained crossed.
After a moment, Jing Yuan reopened his eyes and looked at Jingliu, sighing slightly:
"Sigh, it seems that unless you see the Marshal, you won't inform me of the matter. In that case, come with me..."
As he spoke, Jing Yuan gave a look to Yanqing behind him. The latter understood instantly and took out a specially made Xianzhou shackle.
Yanqing came before Jingliu, looked at her with a complex gaze, then pursed his lips and placed the shackles on her.
"Little brother, your talent is good; Jing Yuan is far inferior to you."
After being shackled, Jingliu looked at this grand-disciple with a gentle smile and said.
Regarding this little brother, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. If she didn't have important business, she would have personally passed on all her skills to him.
Seeing Jingliu's attitude toward Yanqing was so good, Kiana's brow twitched.
She didn't have much of a good impression of Yanqing.
After all, this kid was the counterpart of A Hua's unfilial disciple.
Yanqing brought the shackled Jingliu to Jing Yuan's side and nodded respectfully to him.
"Everyone, Jing Yuan has important matters to report to the Marshal. Please excuse me for now..."
"Give my regards to Hua."
"The matter regarding the General Taiyin was reported to the Marshal a few days ago. The Marshal stated that if you have free time, you may take your jade plaque to Xuling for a chat."
"Fine, I will go when the time comes."
Kiana agreed directly, but seeing how her eyes flickered slightly, she was likely thinking of something fun.
Kiana indeed thought of something fun.
When the time comes, she would bring the Hua from her side and A Hua together, bringing these three Old Timers into one place.
"Haha, I wish you all a pleasant stay on the Luofu."
Jing Yuan smiled slightly, then turned and led Yanqing, Bailu, and Jingliu away from the Scalegorge Waterscape.
However, as they were leaving, Kiana secretly flicked her finger at Bailu's back, shooting a pale purple glimmer into her body.
After Jing Yuan left, the Astral Express Crew and Kiana's trio who remained in the Scalegorge Waterscape looked at each other.
"What should we do now?"
Stelle was somewhat confused, so she asked about their next goal.
But at this stage, the Stellaron had been dealt with, and they had obtained the Xianzhou's alliance jade sign. There really wasn't much left for them to do on the Xianzhou for now.
"Hmm... I'll head back first to bring the news to Himeko and the Conductor. You all can move freely within the Luofu for now."
Old Yang made a decision after some thought.
Although he could notify Himeko and the others via the phone group chat, it felt more appropriate to go back and relay such things in person.
"As for Kiana..."
Old Yang looked at Kiana and the two beside her; it seemed he wasn't in a good position to arrange things for these three.
One was a Herrscher of Finality whose upper limit was completely invisible, a Xianzhou General...
The other two, according to Kiana, were both Aeons. He wouldn't be so arrogant as to order Aeons around.
Moreover, Kiana looked like she had already returned to her own world; whether she would continue to stay on the Express was also an unknown.
"Please help me take care of March and Stelle..."
After Old Yang finished speaking to Kiana, he nodded to the group and then utilized the spirit crystal and gravity to fly rapidly away from the Scalegorge Waterscape.
Since he had used the power of the spirit crystal when sealing the Stellaron earlier, his body had already begun to undergo changes...
Then Old Yang would no longer be pretentious about it. It was going to happen sooner or later anyway; he had long since come to terms with it.
He believed Tesla would accept it.
And...
A beautiful girl with a mecha...
Thinking of this, Old Yang couldn't help but lower his head and push up his glasses, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.
"Not many areas of the Luofu have been reopened yet. Where should we go for a stroll?"
After everything ended, Kiana also seemed a bit disinterested, but she still asked for the others' opinions.
If there really was nowhere to go, then she would take Mei and the others to rest for a bit.
Don't ask, the answer is: Wife, so fragrant!
As for why she didn't bring little March along, it was because March was relatively simple. Teasing her normally was one thing, but when it really came to that, Kiana still couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Kiana, I feel like you're thinking about something bad."
March 7th suddenly turned her head and stared at Kiana with a suspicious look.
"No, I'm not. Even if I were thinking, I'd be thinking about why our little March is so cute."
Whoa! Little March can even sense this!
Kiana shook her head with a smile on the surface, but inwardly she was crying out in surprise.
"Is that so?"
Although she was still a bit skeptical, Kiana's sincere gaze didn't seem fake, so March 7th stopped thinking too much about it.
