Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

Page 144

Fu Xuan was speechless. Qiong boy had already done a great job by saving the immortal boat and tricking a diviner like himself into becoming his wife. It was unimaginable what he would need to save to trick the Great Black Tower into becoming his wife.

"Getting back to the main point, wife, you know the physical condition of the Immortal Boat people, and you also know that this Dharma Eye will cause her pain at any time, right? Is there any better way?"

Qiong stopped praising the Great Black Tower and instead asked how to help Fu Xuan resolve the root of her pain. Upon hearing this, the Black Tower knew that Fu Xuan must be the woman he liked, and immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Is it possible to put this toy in when needed and take it out when not in use?"

The Black Tower doll's advice is very simple and straightforward, like someone asking how to put an elephant in a refrigerator, and she replies that it only takes three steps, but the Black Tower can actually do it.

"How is that possible? The wound will heal once it's removed. Do you expect me to cut open my own head every time?"

Fu Xuan frowned and looked at the black tower doll, asking, "This solution is too stupid. Instead of cutting open the head every time, it's better to let the pain continue. At least drinking milk tea can relieve it."

"With your intelligence, it's difficult for me to explain to you how you came to see the robot head with your way of thinking."

The Black Tower doll shrugged helplessly, saying that she really found it difficult to explain such a simple question, and this arrogant way of speaking made Fu Xuan even more dissatisfied.

"You! Just because you're a genius doesn't mean you can look down on others. I'm even known as a divination genius."

Fu Xuan glared at the Black Tower puppet and said, "Who isn't a genius? Even if she's not as smart as the Great Black Tower, her talent still surpasses that of countless people. Of course, she has to get back at him after being criticized like this."

"Then let me ask you, if you're using this toy as an external brain, it's a sign of your lack of confidence in your abilities. Why doesn't this genius need something like this?"

The Black Tower puppet still wore an arrogant expression. Fu Xuan felt a little uncomfortable because she realized that what the Black Tower said was indeed true. The Black Tower was the kind of person who became a Commander without relying on any external force, but how many years would it take for such a person to appear?

"...There will always be differences between people. Besides, I'm not doing this for myself, but for the sake of all living beings on the Immortal Ship," Fu Xuan explained.

"Then you didn't use it correctly. Its computing power, its capabilities, everything about it could have helped you get out of this predicament, but instead of developing it, you chose to suffer in silence."

The Black Tower Doll criticized Fu Xuan's actions mercilessly. In her opinion, Fu Xuan was the kind of person who would only use this power for the sake of the Immortal Ship, but not for himself. This was the most foolish thing to do, and it made her feel uncomfortable.

"I..."

Fu Xuan couldn't refute Da Heita's words and could only give a wry smile. Da Heita then began to exchange various kinds of knowledge with Fu Xuan, from the stars in the sky to the plants on the ground. His imaginative ideas broadened Fu Xuan's horizons. She really didn't expect there to be such knowledge.

Although Fu Xuan was ridiculed by Da Heita, she had met Doctor Zun before, so her foundation was certainly not bad. Da Heita hadn't talked to a smart person in a long time, and they ended up talking for a while. By the time the two of them came to their senses, it was almost dawn.

Qiong had already fallen asleep on Fu Xuan's bed. There was nothing that could be done about it; his IQ was the lowest among them, so if he couldn't understand, he could only sleep. Did they expect him to join the conversation?

"This idiot, he just fell asleep like that."

The Black Tower Doll, no longer the old scholar she once was, sat down beside her and gently lifted Qiong's hair. Seeing her tender and gentle appearance, Fu Xuan finally believed that the Black Tower was truly Qiong's wife, and not just someone she was talking about.

"You love him very much?"

Fu Xuan asked the question subconsciously. The two women discussed academic matters and then talked about feelings. Fu Xuan still found it hard to imagine how someone as intelligent as Da Heita could like a fool.

"Love? Perhaps. This genius is willing to give him everything that is best."

The Black Tower puppet still wore that proud expression, as if it were a favor. Fu Xuan opened his mouth, feeling that he was still far from reaching that stage. He wondered what kind of relationship would make a genius say such a thing. Sometimes, he really had to admire Qiong.

"I'm leaving. Use the methods I taught you well, and don't let him worry about you."

As the Black Tower doll spoke, it closed its eyes, signifying that the consciousness of the Great Black Tower had also departed. It left without even saying a farewell to Qiong, departing with great nonchalance. Fu Xuan understood its meaning; the reason it helped him was simply because the Great Black Tower didn't want Qiong to worry too much about it. A pang of jealousy rose in Fu Xuan's heart. Other women were just too good to him; they were making her a little envious.

Fu Xuan took off his clothes and got into bed. He pulled Qiong's arms away and snuggled into his embrace, then covered Qiong's arms with his own. He breathed in Qiong's scent and closed his eyes. At least for this moment, Qiong belonged only to him.

When dawn broke, Qiong opened his eyes and was very annoyed that he had actually fallen asleep the night before. He had originally intended to sleep with Fu Xuan in his arms, but when he touched the soft object in his arms, his expression relaxed. Fu Xuan, wearing only a small vest to cover her body, was leaning against him. The girl's soft body was pressed tightly against him, implying that he could touch her at will. She was a little small, but Qiong didn't mind at all; in fact, he loved her.

Chapter 374 Reward: An Ice Cream

"Honey, it's morning."

Qiong gently stroked Fu Xuan's head. Her hair fell naturally when it wasn't tied up. Qiong really liked pink hair. Since there was a pink-haired girl who refused to be his girlfriend, he had to pursue another one himself.

"Um..."

Fu Xuan murmured, and when he opened his eyes and saw Qiong, he was not surprised. She had taken the initiative to snuggle into his arms to sleep yesterday, and she had slept quite soundly without suffering from insomnia due to the throbbing pain in her head.

"How did your talk with Black Tower go?"

Qiong asked, "These two women, one calling themselves 'This Venerable One' and the other 'This Genius,' are getting along quite interestingly, but unfortunately, I didn't finish watching them."

"It's alright. It's really hard to imagine that we'll be a family in the future. But saying that doesn't seem quite right."

Fu Xuan disliked the arrogant personality of the Great Black Tower, but he greatly admired the other party's knowledge. The four words "Knowledge Master" were not false; they were full of real value.

Fu Xuan didn't know how the Great Black Tower viewed the concept of family. Qiong had many wives, some of whom were willing to accept the concept of family, while others were loners. Even though they all married Qiong, they didn't feel like they were part of a family with the other women. This was mainly because they lived in different places and it was difficult for them to get together.

"Let's go, we need to visit your parents first thing in the morning."

Qiong patted Fu Xuan on the back and said that she did not get up, but instead leaned against Qiong's chest and hugged his back. Qiong, a master of love, naturally understood what Fu Xuan meant. The two had been separated for a long time, and it was not easy to have a chance to be close together. Fu Xuan would not usually take the initiative, but since they had already started, he wanted to enjoy it a little longer before separating.

"If you don't want to be separated from me so much, then marry me. Anyway, this is your hometown, and it'll be easy to get a marriage certificate."

Qiong said with a smile. Fu Xuan tapped her back with his fist, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed. Seeing her so cute, Qiong really wanted to burst out laughing.

"How is Qingque? Is Taibu Si alright?" Fu Xuan asked.

"Not bad, Qingque's abilities are quite good, and he has made a great contribution by capturing the fugitive this time."

Qiong spoke truthfully. He wasn't specifically speaking up for Qingque, but rather that her performance was indeed quite good. She was usually lazy, but she was quite reliable when it mattered most.

"Wife, has the matter of Luofu been passed down to the Jade Palace by Yiling Nisi's master?"

Qiong wanted to know how much Fu Xuan knew about Luofu. She was so far away from Luofu, and she didn't know if she was well-informed.

"Of course, I already knew that the generals were exchanging information."

"Didn't you foresee that something big would happen before you left Luofu?" Qiong asked again.

"Who do you think I am? Of course I foresaw it, but I also foresaw that crisis is accompanied by opportunity. So I deliberately left to let those villains know there was an opportunity to take advantage of. After all, with three generals in charge, I don't know where they got their courage. Now the result is not bad. Hu Lei is dead, and the people hiding in the shadows have been exposed."

Fu Xuan's expression remained confident, and Qiong realized that she was doing it on purpose, still acting as if everything was under her control.

"You and Qingque didn't do anything, did you?"

Fu Xuan asked seemingly casually, but the way she asked it meant that she was still jealous, so Qiong decided to tease her.

"I did it. Use it as your meal replacement. It's because you two have similar body types."

"Pah, you shameless bastard! If I find out Qingque is still a virgin when we get back, I'll kick you to death."

Fu Xuan spat in annoyance. She had agreed to let Qing Que serve Qiong in the first place, since Qing Que's account had already been ruined and she could only pin her hopes on the next alt account. However, creating this alt account would require some effort from Qiong.

"You still love rewarding me so much, hurry up and put on your white stockings and step on me."

Upon hearing this, Qiong recalled the scene where Fu Xuan brand white silk ice cream stepped on her last time, and said to her with great anticipation.

"abnormal!"

Fu Xuan was so angry that she laughed. She couldn't see how this was a reward. She didn't know why Qiong was so keen on being trampled on by her, and even specifically asked for white stockings.

However, Fu Xuan had already decided that Qiong was her future husband. Although she didn't really believe in fate, the marriage result calculated yesterday still made her happy. Mainly, she also liked Qiong as a person, and their fates were intertwined like this, so why would she refuse?

Fu Xuan shielded Qiong's face and changed into the white stockings he had been longing for. Then he stepped onto the bed, lifted his white-stockinged feet and gently kicked Qiong, who was lying on the bed, so he lay flat. Then he watched as the ice cream-like white stockings fell onto his chest.

"Are you satisfied now, you scoundrel? No one else but me would do this for you."

Fu Xuan didn't even know how he managed to say such shameful things. He was probably corrupted by Qiong. He had been upright all his life, but now he had ruined his reputation by playing this kind of game with him.

"I can play for a year."

Qiong held Fu Xuan's little feet in his arms and said, while Fu Xuan, who was looking down at him, gave him a disdainful look. Just that look made Qiong's little star core tremble, and he really wished he could eat Fu Xuan right now.

But Qiong held back. Since she was already living in Fu Xuan's house and marriage was not far off, there was no need to rush.

After getting up and washing up, Qiong left the house and saw Yun Li wielding a giant sword in the courtyard. Seeing how easily she wielded the giant sword, which was longer than her own height, Fu Xuan realized that the general's granddaughter was indeed a martial arts expert. No wonder she didn't seem very bright.

"Husband, you're up. It's so late."

When Yun Li saw Qiong come out, she dropped Lao Tie and ran to him in a flash. She jumped up and hung on him, her strong legs wrapped around Qiong's lower back, her arms around his neck, and happily pressed her cheek against his face.

"You're being so sweet so early in the morning, my dear Li'er."

Qiong was happy to be cheek-to-cheek with Yunli like this. After being softened by his love, the arrogant little girl had become such a clingy girlfriend. How could Qiong not like her?

Fu Xuan didn't see anything else, but he did understand that Yun Li genuinely liked Qiong. Considering that Yun Li was the granddaughter of General Huaiyan, it seemed that Qiong and Zhu Ming Immortal Boat were also connected. This guy seemed to be expanding in a strange way.

"We're going to meet your parents. Stay close to me and don't cause any trouble, okay?"

Qiong put Yunli down, stroked her head and said something. She also showed an expression of enjoying the petting, like a cat.

“I am not stupid.”

Yun Li nodded. Although she and Fu Xuan didn't get along very well, she wouldn't interfere with Qiong's plans to meet his future in-laws. Fu Xuan also didn't hold it against her. The Grand Diviner was already an adult, so why would he argue with a child? No matter how old Yun Li was, she still acted like a child.

Chapter 375 District Magistrate

Qiong and Fu Xuan arrived at the front hall where they had met their elders the day before. Master Fu and Madam Fu were already there. Fu Xuan asked the servants to bring two cups of tea, and he and Qiong personally served tea to their elders.

"Father, Mother, your son has come to pay his respects."

Fu Xuan said respectfully, "That's how wealthy families are. They pay attention to etiquette in everything. The more polite and well-mannered they are, the better. This is also how they distinguish themselves from ordinary people."

Qiong also found it very interesting, so he repeated Fu Xuan's words. The two elders looked at him differently than they looked at Fu Xuan. They had already learned from their spies that their son-in-law had entered their daughter's boudoir and had not come out. What they did was not important; what was important was that their daughter's reputation was definitely ruined.

"Hmm, what a good son-in-law! When do you think we should get the wedding done? Our Xuan'er isn't young anymore; people from Yuque who are her age have already gotten married."

Master Fu urged, saying that since it was fate anyway, he and his wife didn't want to resist. They just wanted to marry their daughter off to Qiong as soon as possible so they could hold their grandson and then they wouldn't have to worry about their daughter's marriage anymore.

"Of course, this is for the two elders to decide. I wish I could marry Fu Xuan today."

Qiong chuckled and said that seeing that he had no objection to the marriage with Fu Xuan, the two elders were relieved. Although this son-in-law was a bit abstract, he was still a good person. At least he truly loved Fu Xuan, and Fu Xuan also sincerely liked him.

"Alright, then we'll choose an auspicious day. Today, you can have the fortune tellers calculate your fortune and see how it goes."

Master Fu stood up and took Qiong's hand, while Qiong glanced at his still charming mother-in-law. He would rather be held by his mother-in-law than by his father-in-law, but unfortunately, he couldn't change his mind.

Master Fu was also quick to leave, taking Qiong with him to the divination hall of the Fu residence. On the way, Fu Xuan explained to Qiong what it was for. Basically, it was to predict a person's future. Fu Xuan had been to the divination hall when she was a child. A group of diviners surrounded her, and in the end, they predicted that she would become the Grand Diviner of the Immortal Ship.

"Wife, didn't you want to be a general? But the divination shows you're a diviner. Is Jingyuan just making empty promises to you?"

Qiong smiled and said to Fu Xuan that he felt Jing Yuan was getting older and it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to give up his position to his wife. That way, he would have two Immortal Boat Generals as wives, which made him inexplicably happy.

"I don't believe in that. Does being a diviner mean I'll be a diviner for life? What's the difference between a person who doesn't strive for their dreams and a salted fish?"

Fu Xuan said nonchalantly that although many things had happened that told her that fate was unchangeable, she still didn't believe in fate. She was clearly in this line of work but didn't believe in it, which was really unconventional.

"That's true, she's definitely my wife."

Qiong liked Fu Xuan's rebellious personality. He took her hand and kissed the back of it. Fu Xuan remembered that he had done the same thing to his mother yesterday, and angrily pinched his lips with his fingers, making Qiong beg for mercy.

Qiong was led into the divination hall, where many diviners had already gathered. The divination would be presided over by Master Fu himself, since this was his son-in-law and Master Fu was eager to know what his future held.

In fact, since Qiong came to the Fu family, the two elders have never asked him his name or occupation, because these things will be revealed in the divination, even the color of his underwear today can be seen, so there is no need to ask.

Qiong was seated inside a Bagua diagram, and then watched as the diviners around him skillfully performed divination, divining all his information.

At this point, the divination hall had completely darkened, just like a movie theater. Conspicuous patterns began to light up on the ceiling. First, there was a pattern representing the destruction of one's destiny. After a moment, the pattern went out and was replaced by a pattern representing the preservation of one's destiny. Then came a pattern of harmony, and finally a pattern of pioneering.

"Destruction, preservation, harmony, and what is the last one? How can a person have so many intersecting destinies?"

The diviners whispered among themselves as they looked at the calculated fate. Qiong's future was a complex web of intertwined destinies, making it impossible for them to see clearly. This was also the first time they had encountered such an extraordinary person.

"That is the path to destiny, a technique that has been lost for a long time. I never expected it to appear in this young man."

An elderly fortune teller explained that they had not known before that Qiong was a person on the Starry Sky Train, and were also unfamiliar with the concept of opening up a destiny path, a pattern that only those who study destiny could recognize.

What does his future hold?

Master Fu asked the crucial question. He had originally thought that if his son-in-law proved to be useless, he would support him himself, since the Fu family had the means. As long as his daughter was happy, that was all that mattered. But now it seemed that the outcome was not what he had imagined.

"Forget it, but we can't figure it out. That's impossible. We can even do the divination. Only an envoy recognized by the Star God can stop us from investigating."

"Will this person become a Commander in the future?"

"You must be joking, but this blessing of destiny is truly remarkable."

"I never imagined that Fu Xuan's husband would achieve even greater success than her. What a perfect match!"

The diviners began to discuss loudly. After much verification and calculation, they finally determined that it wasn't that their skills were lacking, but rather that Qiong's fate was truly unpredictable, and that his future was at least that of a messenger.

These diviners from the Fu family finally realized that Fu Xuan had struck gold. Qiong was Fu Xuan's husband. When he became a envoy, he would help the Fu family, which would benefit generations to come.

Master Fu and Madam Fu also looked at Qiong with surprise. When he came to visit earlier, he looked like a poor boy. They never expected him to have such a brilliant future. They paused and then looked at their daughter, their eyes full of praise for her.

The gist of it is: No wonder you haven't gotten married or dated all these years; you were waiting to pick a good one. As expected of the Grand Diviner, your divination abilities far surpass those of ordinary people. You probably knew all along that you would have such an extraordinary husband. You have such good taste.

Fu Xuan was also helpless about her parents' misunderstanding. She really hadn't had any marriage fortune told, and she never thought that she would find a future envoy as her husband. It was Qiong's business if he was successful, and she didn't like him just to benefit from his success. But then again, this guy was indeed very good at hiding his true nature. Fu Xuan had known him for so long, but she had never seen that he had the destiny of an envoy.

Chapter 376 I am quite wealthy

Qiong had no feelings about becoming a Commander in the future. Ordinary people felt that Commanders were like totems or gods, but Qiong was born into a world of extraordinary talent. Commanders were very powerful, but he had three wives like Commanders. In the future, he wanted to help his wives accomplish what they wanted to do. Becoming a Commander was just the beginning.
