Chapter 88 - 84 - The Impending Meeting?

"Er... so, Miss Tingyun... are you sure it's okay this time?" March stepped onto the awaiting Starskiff with trepidation, a tremor of fear in her voice. "That... Jiongxing Port... can we only get there using this thing? Can't we just walk?" Seeing March's terrified expression, Tingyun gave an awkward smile. After all... that incident had left a considerable shadow on her as well. "Rest assured, this ferry Starskiff has been specially inspected by the people from the Sky-Faring Commission. And even if there is a problem, my little Diting can detect it immediately, right?" As she spoke, Tingyun gently crouched down and stroked the cute little "dog" at her feet. "Woof woof! u・ω・u" "The Artisanship Commission of the Xianzhou truly lives up to its reputation," Welt remarked with great feeling, looking at the Diting at Tingyun's feet. He had seen the "Golden Automatons" forged by the Artisanship Commission, and he quite liked their classical aesthetic. It would be even better if they were a bit bigger. "Wende... do you really have to do this?" Stelle looked at Wende with teary eyes. If she didn't lack ears and a tail, one would think this child was about to turn into a puppy. "I have to do this." Wende shook his head, his attitude firm. "But... what if I get thirsty..." Stelle pouted, looking pitiful and wronged. "I bought you an Immortal's Happy Tea. And it's iced." Wende placed the pre-prepared Immortal's Happy Tea into Stelle's arms, then hung the crate of "Fermented Mung Bean Soda" on a nearby mechanical bird. "But... but this soda is very expensive! It's such a waste not to drink it..." Stelle tried one last time, but Wende still "cruelly" had the mechanical bird send the soda away. "It's fine." Patting Stelle's head, Wende boarded the Starskiff. If he let her bring that crate of soda onto the Starskiff... then the cost of compensation would be far more than just a single crate of soda! "By the way, Miss Tingyun, do you guys normally drink that Fermented Mung Bean Soda?" March asked Tingyun, looking very gossipy. "Mmm... that kind of thing, only very old Xianzhou natives would drink it... Besides, I'm a foxian. Our senses are very sensitive. If I let that stuff enter my mouth..." The corner of Miss Tingyun's mouth twitched. I'd die... I'd definitely die, right?! "Alright, one final check of the Starskiff!" "Operating system, normal!" "Communication system, normal!" "Autopilot system, doesn't have one!" "Brakes, normal!" "Air conditioning system, broken." "Mm, only the air conditioning has a problem, but it's not a big issue. The temperature on the Xianzhou is very stable right now, so it's fine even without it," Tingyun said to the group with a smile, then fastened her own seatbelt. "Woof woof!" "Be a good boy. You have to wear a seatbelt too!" March gently lifted the little Diting onto a seat and fastened its seatbelt for it. "How are the preparations?" Welt asked as he boarded the Starskiff. "Totally OK!" March gave Welt a big V-sign. "Mm. And Stelle?" Turning to look at Stelle, who was sullenly sipping her milk tea, Welt looked at Wende. "The soda has been mailed back," Wende reassured Welt. "Mailed back?" March looked at Wende with a blank expression. "Mm, that's right. Stelle bought it with the money she earned from working, so of course, it has to be mailed back to the Express. Although it can't be sent back immediately, it's fine to leave it at a Xianzhou logistics station for now." Wende, completely oblivious to the severity of the problem, nodded and spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Hiss..." Little March's expression turned to one of horror. "Ah, this..." Even Welt propped up his chin and fell into deep thought. "Mmm... so, is there a problem?" Wende, who had yet to experience the "dangers of the world," scratched his head, a little confused. "Wende... have you heard of... Mung Bean Soda Coffee?" "..." "..." "I'll go chase it down right now..." Wende realized the gravity of the situation. If Himeko really mixed those two things together! No! The universe will be destroyed!! "Sigh... we'll just remind Pom-Pom to deal with the soda when we get back. Our top priority now is to head to Jiongxing Port to find traces of the Stellaron Hunters," Welt said, shaking his head. According to their deductions, the only place on the Xianzhou currently suitable for the Stellaron Hunters to hide was Jiongxing Port. They had to capture that "vicious and wicked" Stellaron Hunter immediately! There could be no more delays. Under Tingyun's control, the Starskiff slowly lifted off the ground and flew towards Jiongxing Port. "Yes, yes, yes! I'm finally going to see my wife/mother/lover/enemy, Kafka!" Sister Guoguo exclaimed excitedly. [My wife/husband/sworn father/wet nurse Wende is feeling very parched.] [I feel like that's nothing compared to my husband/wife/good son Dan Heng.] [Where does that put my adoptive mother/wife/older sister Himeko!] [Nothing beats my Star-fury/Fleshlight Pom-Pom.] [You really had to be that guy!] [I admit defeat.] [Pervert!] [Outrageous!] [Where's my Magical Girl Little Yang? Magical_Girl_Welt.jpg] [My eyes! Ahhh!! My eyes!] [You there? How can you post pictures in the bullet comments? Is your dad the owner of AC Station??] "Tsk... I still can't compare to you guys." Sister Guoguo clicked her tongue. When it came to creating content, these netizens were truly in a league of their own. [By the way, I've seen a lot of uploaders starting to do the Mung Bean Soda challenge. Sister Guoguo, want to challenge yourself too?] [True, this Star Rail Xianzhou publicity wave has really promoted an evil thing like Mung Bean Soda.] [Do one! Do one!] "Ha? You bunch of small-fry viewers, you want to see me take on that stuff? Isn't that just a piece of cake?" Sister Guoguo was full of disdain. It was just Mung Bean Soda. How bad could it possibly taste? Knock, knock, knock... "Someone's at the door. I'll go see who it is." Meanwhile, on the other side... "Antarctic Bear Takes Arctic Goose for a Walk" was currently standing at Sister Guoguo's front door, holding a bag containing a strangely colored, soy-milk-like substance. "Hello, viewers! We've arrived at Sister Guoguo's house! We're about to let her taste this delicacy from the mortal realm!" [Sister Guoguo! Don't open the door! Don't open the door! This isn't home!] [Lock the door, Sister Guoguo! There's a bad person outside!] [Dammit! You bad woman! What are you going to do to Sister Guoguo!] [So... you're all acting so concerned for Sister Guoguo on this stream, but in reality, not a single one of you is going to her stream to warn her?] [Lol]
