Chapter 350 Can't Remember Things

When Qiong led Cocolia and the others into Sichen Palace, Yu Kong came to greet them personally. When her eyes met Cocolia's, she had a strange feeling that this woman was somewhat similar to herself. Both of them were a bit older, but they had accidentally fallen in love with Qiong, a young man, and could only shamelessly stay by his side.

“Yu Kong, these two are my wives, Cocolia and Shiluwa, from Yalilo VI.”

Qiong briefly introduced his two wives to Yu Kong. The three women, whose ages were roughly the same, got to know each other without any awkwardness. As they got older, they became more open-minded about everything.

"Hello, I have heard the story of Yalilo VI. Your perseverance has brought hope."

Yu Kong smiled and shook hands with Cocolia. Cocolia was previously a city manager. Although she was not as good as Tianbo Si, she had a similar job to Yu Kong. The two of them could understand the difficulties of each other's work.

Yu Kong even sent his own daughter to wreak havoc on someone else's planet, so it's only right and proper for her to personally welcome her and express her gratitude.

"Miss Yu Kong, you are even more beautiful than in the photos."

Cocolia smiled and praised him. Only then did Yu Kong realize that Qing Ni had shown her photos to these people. Talking about children always helps to shorten the distance between them, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

"You've taken good care of Qingni."

Yu Kong summoned Qing Ni, and the young lady was overjoyed to see the elders of Yalilo VI. As Qiong's adopted daughter, she naturally received a lot of care from many people. In addition, she had a good personality and had long been integrated into the Belloberg family.

"Aunt Cocolia, Aunt Silva, welcome to Fairy Ship! It's my turn to show you hospitality."

Qingni expressed the composure of the locals, as if she could take care of everything. She believed that if you receive kindness from others while you are away, you should repay them doubly when you return home. This is also a tradition of the people of Xianzhou.

"Yu Kong, they came with invitations and need you to arrange their participation."

Qiong explained her purpose, but Yu Kong, who was in charge of receiving her, looked puzzled.

"An invitation? Yalilo VI? But I don't have any record of sending an invitation there."

Yu Kong's words made Cocolia's smile disappear. She looked at Qiong with worry, afraid that he would misunderstand that she had come here as an excuse. But she was obviously overthinking it. Qiong liked her so much that he would not be suspicious because of such a small matter.

"Xi Kui, go and check it out."

Yu Kong summoned his secretary. Although many people had come to Luofu to participate in the competition recently, it was still difficult to get an invitation for himself. The invitation not only provided VIP treatment and covered all expenses for food, accommodation and transportation, but also allowed him to directly challenge the defending swordsman of Luofu. Without an invitation, he would have to start from the bottom and slowly climb up to challenge the defending swordsman.

Yu Kong felt that Cocolia didn't need to do such a thing. She could just tell Qiong what she wanted to do. Given his relationship with Jing Yuan, invitations weren't sent out casually.

While Xi Kui went to inquire, Yu Kong invited everyone to sit down and have tea. Among them, Cocolia was leaving her own planet for the first time and was very curious about everything outside. When she first entered the unfamiliar world of the Immortal Ship, she was filled with shock. She couldn't believe that a ship could be built so large; it was a completely unimaginable level of craftsmanship.

Hilva behaved in a normal way. She had seen alien technology before and was very interested in the construction department of the Immortal Ship. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be a regular visitor there and will need a pass.

"Lord Yukong, we have found out that Luofu sent an invitation to Yalilo VI for a martial arts ceremony four hundred years ago, inviting capable people to participate."

Xi Kui returned to Yu Kong's side and explained the matter of the invitation. Everyone was quite surprised to hear this result, as it sounded like an invitation that had expired four hundred years ago.

"Four hundred years ago? Who was in charge of sending it?" Yu Kong asked in confusion.

"It was sent by the secretary of the captain at the time. However, according to the records, he sent it on the orders of General Jingyuan. At that time, Yalilo VI had already been extinguished on the star map, so it should not have been able to receive it."

Xi Kui didn't know the specifics either; finding these records was the limit, but at least it led the clues to Jing Yuan.

"I know, you go down first."

Yu Kong also found it strange, but since she wasn't born four hundred years ago, she naturally didn't know what had happened. If she wanted to know what had happened, she could only ask Jing Yuan directly.

“Okay, I told you Jing Yuan has dementia. I told him so much about Yalilo VI before, but he just couldn’t remember it.”

Upon hearing this, Qiong clapped his hands and said that he hadn't expected Jing Yuan, this young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be so forgetful. When the train crew first came to the Immortal Ship, they mentioned Yalilo VI. At that time, Jing Yuan didn't react at all, and it didn't seem like he was pretending not to know. However, Qiong understood. At Jing Yuan's age, he was already considered an old man in the Immortal Ship. Other people in the Immortal Ship who lived to that age would have been harmlessly dealt with long ago. It was already very impressive that he could stay free from the troubles of the Demon Yin Body. He couldn't ask for too much.

"Aqiong, you mustn't speak ill of the general."

Yu Kong complained irritably. Jing Yuan was indeed old, but his contributions to Luo Fu were the greatest. No one would think he was useless just because he was old.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."

Qiong naturally sided with his wife. As for when to ask Jing Yuan, he couldn't possibly drag his whole family to the Shence Mansion to question him. He would have to wait until Jing Yuan had some free time and casually asked him.

"Is our invitation still valid?"

Cocolia didn't care how the invitation came about; she was more concerned with the current situation. This reaction was within Yu Kong's expectations, but it was a minor matter to her.

"Since it was sent by the Immortal Ship, it must be useful. I can decide to give you VIP treatment."

Yu Kong nodded and said that since it was an invitation personally sent by her general, Yu Kong already knew its value, so she would make the decision. This was not because she knew Cocolia and the others and was showing favoritism; it was a matter related to Jing Yuan.

"But why is this invitation four hundred years late?"

Hiluva asked doubtfully, "Four hundred years ago, Yalilo VI was still struggling to survive the disaster caused by the star core. The people here are all intelligent, so of course they can imagine that the sender, Jing Yuan, probably didn't expect to actually get a reply."

Chapter 351 Achieving the Goal

"It's because you haven't had a way to receive it. The location of Yalilo VI hasn't changed. Once the signal station is established, the invitation will naturally arrive."

Yu Kong found a reasonable explanation: electronic invitations are a very convenient thing. Even if the recipient's signal station is destroyed after it is sent out, the intelligent program inside will continue to operate and fly over immediately after recognizing the coordinates.

"What a strange coincidence. Perhaps we should think about why Jing Yuan sent out the invitation. It must be because he knows someone. Did someone leave Yalilo VI four hundred years ago?"

Qiong brought up something that everyone had overlooked, and it was indeed strange to bring it up now, almost like a supernatural event. Hilva felt a chill down her spine and couldn't help but grab Qiong's hand.

"How is that possible? Even the Great Guardian couldn't fly out with his power, let alone come to the Immortal Ship."

Cocolia was the first to deny this conjecture. The Great Guardian was the most powerful person on Yalilo VI. Generally, they would inherit some protective power, but that would only increase their defense and shield effects. Even with the great power of the first Great Guardian, it would be impossible for them to leave the planet on their own.

"That was even earlier. Jing Yuan is a long-lived being. Perhaps someone came to the Immortal Ship and met Jing Yuan before the planet was sealed off. At that time, Yalilo was still a resort."

Qiong brought up another possibility, which was not difficult to refute, but in that case, the person Jing Yuan knew would definitely not receive the invitation, since humans cannot live for more than three hundred years.

"That's the only possibility. I didn't expect that someone in our area would know a general from the Immortal Ship, a hunting envoy?"

Hilva sighed, sensing that her planet still had a rich history. Before being invaded by the antimatter legion, someone had befriended a great figure like Jing Yuan, who was a Commander. If Jing Yuan had gone there himself instead of sending an invitation, he could have solved all the problems of Yalilo VI by himself. In the eyes of ordinary people, Commanders are no different from gods.

"It's nothing. Yu Kong has a younger sister who was a general on another immortal ship, and she's my wife now."

Qiong felt it was time to broaden the horizons of his wives. The identity of the envoy was not worth caring about; they would meet again sooner or later in the same identity—Qiong's wives.

"what!?"

Cocolia and Hilva almost lost their balance and fell. The news was hard for them to accept, and they were also a little amused and exasperated. Their husband's ability to deceive women was getting better and better, and he had even managed to deceive Ling Shi. It was really hard to imagine that Ling Shi would be willing to marry him.

"I'll introduce you to each other later. Everything here is arranged. Let me take you for a tour of the Immortal Boat."

Qiong didn't intend to stay here and disturb Yu Kong's work, since it was working hours after all. So after saying her piece, she took her leave with her people and headed out onto the streets of the Immortal Ship.

"Yun Li, why don't you go and instruct San Yueqi on sword practice first? It's not comfortable for you to come along."

Qiong said to Yunli, who followed her out, "It's time for Belloberg to form a team. I can't care about Yunli, an outsider, forcing her to join. Although it's a bit unfair to her, it's the best choice."

"Humph."

Yun Li lifted her foot and stepped on Qiong's instep, showing her great dissatisfaction. She had come out to date him today, but who would have thought that his wife would steal him away? With that kind of status, her unmarried status as his wife was somewhat inadequate.

"My dear Li'er, wait for me in your room tonight, and I'll teach you some adult things."

Qiong whispered in Yunli's ear, "It's Qiong's skill to treat everyone fairly." Yunli was satisfied with these words and responded with a nasal sound.

"You scoundrel, who wants you?"

As Yun Li left, she made a face at Qiong, but in her heart she was already looking forward to what would happen that night. So what if his wife came? She would still have to sleep with him tonight.

Because Qiong often goes shopping and dates with girls here, he has almost become a local of Xianzhou. He knows all the good food and fun things to do, so he took the group around and bought them all the things they had never seen before. There were so many things that his brother-in-law Jepard said he couldn't carry them all, and Luca was also covered in shopping bags. He really experienced what it meant to be treated like an emperor. He was indeed not treated like an outsider.

Hilva was interested in shopping, but even more interested in the Craftsmanship Bureau. So Qiong took them all to the Craftsmanship Bureau. With his connections and the pass given to him by Yu Kong, the craftsmen were very polite to them. Qiong also took the opportunity to make some requests.

"I'll have to trouble you to look after my friends here. Just teach them a few things. See if you can modify my brother-in-law's shield. Also, Luca's mechanical arm isn't made of very good materials. You can decide what to do with it."

Qiong pointed at the craftsmen of the Construction Bureau, but they had no objections. The fact that Qiong, a great hero of the Immortal Ship, could speak with Jing Yuan was already a huge honor. Even if they didn't bring any benefits to the Construction Bureau, just remembering their favor was enough.

Jepard and Luca were both flattered. The civilization of the Celestial Ship people far surpassed that of the Yalilo VI, even the Yalilo at its peak was far inferior. So, to receive help from these Celestial Ship people was something they never dared to dream of before. Now, Qiong had settled it with just a word, which showed how highly regarded their emperor was within the Celestial Ship.

After leaving the three of them at the Workshop, Sora and Cocolia took the opportunity to leave and went to the most crowded place, Chang Le Tian.

"Coco, what did I tell you before? I brought you to the Immortal Ship to play, but you weren't happy about it. Now you're here anyway."

As Qiong walked hand in hand with Cocolia through the crowd, he smiled and said to her. Cocolia turned her gaze away from the diverse crowd and focused on Qiong, her eyes only on him for a moment.

"I didn't come here simply to see you."

Cocolia stubbornly said that she was actually very happy when she found out that she could come to the Immortal Ship, and even happier when she met Qiong, but she was just too embarrassed to express it.

“This is great. I’ve always wanted to take you out to have some fun and relax away from work.”

Qiong felt that she hadn't had a proper rest since she met Cocolia, always busy with various things. Now she finally had the chance, and Bronya must have felt the same way, which was why she sent Cocolia as her representative.

“Yes, I know how good you are to me, but I just can’t think of any way to repay you,” Cocolia said.

"It's enough that you like me."

"It's too simple, I've been in love with you for a long time."

Cocolia's purple eyes were full of emotion. After getting close to Sora, the two kissed. Sora's hand subconsciously went to her back and caressed her beautiful body.

"Should we go to a hotel?"

Qiong asked Cocolia, whose legs were already a little weak. She was the one who wanted to kiss her, and she was the one who couldn't resist in the end. Seeing her coy attitude, Qiong was really eager and wished she could eat the ripe peach right now.

"Do not want to."

Cocolia blushed slightly. She felt that she shouldn't be thinking about getting intimate with Qiong so soon after arriving at the Immortal Ship; it was too indulgent.

"I'm going to stay with Yunli tonight, so you'll have to sleep alone."

When Sora reminded her, Cocolia's expression immediately turned serious, and she pulled Sora's hand and squeezed into the crowd.

"Let's go, let's go to the hotel."

PS, please collect, recommend and vote for me

P.S. There's a plot hole where Jing Yuan didn't know about Yalilo 6 before. This part of the story only appeared in version 2.5, so the writers who wrote it before probably didn't know either, and of course, the author couldn't have known either (:∠). Let's just say he got old and forgot things.

Chapter 352 Cat Lovers

After a blissful time, Cocolia leaned against Sora's chest, breathing softly. Her alluring face was filled with satisfaction. She didn't know why, but she just loved this kind of activity. Whenever she had a deep connection with Sora, she felt like she didn't have to think about anything and could just surrender her consciousness to her body.

"Coco, you rest here, I have to go to my next event."

After spending a tender moment with Cocolia, Qiong kissed her on the cheek, then got up, dressed, and left the room.

Cocolia smiled helplessly. It wasn't that she couldn't keep this man, but she couldn't do that. This bad man was just too much of a womanizer. He could find new women wherever he went, and even intimacy was something he had to do on the go. How could she describe him? Cocolia still couldn't think of a way to describe her philandering husband.

"Husband, do you think I'm too young?"

After Yunli and Qiong met in the inn's room, the first thing Yunli asked was this question. She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she thought about it, all of Qiong's wives were tall and big, and she was the shortest one, not even as tall as Sanyueqi. Of course, she felt a sense of crisis.

"No, I quite like small ones," Qiong replied seriously.

"You're talking nonsense. You just like big ones. I'm going to chop you up."

Yun Li felt that Qiong was just going through the motions, so she immediately took out her greatsword, Lao Tie, and smashed it on Qiong's head. Qiong, however, raised both hands and caught the greatsword between them.

"Wait a minute, don't you also like big ones? Otherwise, why did you make your buddy so big?"

"This, I..."

Yun Li looked at the old iron in her hand, put it back and stood it upright beside her. She wanted to say something, but then she stopped herself. She couldn't just like the big one and not allow Qiong to like it too, that seemed too unreasonable.

“Liking big things is human nature, so what’s wrong with that?” Qiong pressed on, trying to persuade Yun Li.

"Then make me bigger too."

Yun Li angrily grabbed Qiong's hands and pressed them against her flat chest, saying that Qiong was also in a dilemma because he was not a doctor and could not perform breast augmentation surgery.

"I haven't learned the Immortal Boat Secret Technique, so how can I make you bigger? Besides, you know the constitution of the Immortal Boat people. Before your Demonic Yin Body takes effect, you can forget about growing. Even if you do grow, you will revert back to your original state."

Following Yun Li's words, Qiong slowly massaged her, but his words were also very realistic, leaving Yun Li feeling helpless.

"hateful!"

"Li'er, you're amazing too! You can make things bigger, that's an incredible ability."

Seeing Yun Li's sullen expression, Qiong picked her up, let her sit on his lap, and stroked her hair as he spoke.

"I'm not a mage, what can I do besides enlarge my weapon?"

Yun Li asked curiously, explaining that enlarging swords was a skill she had learned, not some kind of magic that could amplify them. It only worked on weapons. If she could enlarge everything, she would have achieved far more than she has now.

"Make this place bigger."

Qiong pulled Yunli's hand and placed it on a part of her body that was somewhat unfamiliar but not entirely new to her. Yunli's face immediately turned red with embarrassment. The key was that she couldn't refute it, because it was indeed she who had made it bigger.

"You damn rascal, I think you deserve a beating."

Yun Li stopped joking with Qiong and used her strength to lift him up and throw him onto the bed. Then she pounced on him and happily played with him until he kissed her on the lips and fell silent.

"Li'er, meow like a cat."

When Qiong and Yunli were playing around, he gently stroked her pretty face and said that when he was being affectionate with her, he could always associate Yunli with cats. Qiong had become a cat lover.
