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

Feixiao put Qiong down as she spoke. It was indeed inconvenient for her to carry him all the time, but she didn't want him to do anything strange anymore.

"Is pursuing girls considered harassment? Does Xianzhou still have laws and justice?"

"Save your energy. Why don't you use it on Sister Yu Kong?"

Feixiao and Qiong chatted back and forth, and from an outsider's perspective, it looked like family members talking to each other. Qiong didn't treat her like a general, and she didn't have any airs of a general either. They got along very harmoniously.

Ling Sha was puzzled. How could Fei Xiao have such a brother-in-law? Obviously, this was not his biological sister's brother-in-law, but rather someone Fei Xiao had recognized as her sister. But what kind of ability could someone have to make Fei Xiao willingly acknowledge him as her sister?

"So Miss Ling Sha was sent by the Alliance to take over the Pill Refining Division. I'm familiar with this place; it's like my backyard. You can ask me anything you don't know."

Qiong followed Ling Sha to the pharmacy where Bai Lu was. On the way, he learned some information about Ling Sha. In short, she was a poor working person who was doing well on other immortal ships, but was suddenly transferred here to work.

"I am also a native of Luofu Chiming, so there's no need for me to ask an outsider about things here."

Ling Sha glanced at Qiong and said with a smile. Qiong had so many women around him, so of course he could tell that her smile was fake, but he was already satisfied. The two of them had only just met, so they should take things slowly if they wanted to get things done.

"Hey, you really are a Chiming! I have a good brother who is also a Chiming, but he's switched to the Starry Sky Train now. Our train has great benefits, free food and lodging, and we even have free travel every day. Do you want to come?"

Qiong knew he hadn't guessed Ling Sha's race wrong. This meant she was a beautiful dragon girl, of the same race as Dan Heng, though he wasn't entirely sure what Dan Heng actually was now; he seemed to be constantly shifting between human and Chiming. (II) Ling Er (II^) I彡另栮宭

"What are you planning to do by kidnapping Si Ding, who was sent by the Alliance? If you actually manage to do it, just wait for me to come after you."

Feixiao grabbed Qiong's ear and said, "They haven't laid a hand on you, but they've started poaching you. If they really do that, the Immortal Ship Alliance won't give the Starry Sky Train any face. They'll hunt them down to the death."

"Feixiao, I treat you like my sister-in-law, and you're already having inappropriate thoughts about me? What will Yukong think?"

Qiong looked at Feixiao in surprise and asked, her expression quite convincing, a mix of fear, anticipation, and admiration for Feixiao's boldness.

"I'm talking about physical pursuit. I'll dismantle the train, you believe me?" Fei Xiao said angrily.

"I don't believe it. You think you can fool me because there's no Emperor on my Star Train?"

"Akivili has been dead for so long, who is the best fighter in your area now?"

Fei Xiao said dismissively, "The Starry Sky Train is just an ordinary force now. It has long passed its peak. The only reason they are willing to give it face is because the Starry Sky Train does good deeds every day. It is obviously going too far to poach its members."

"Yellow Spring."

Qiong's honest answer made Feixiao's expression stiffen. If Qiong hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten about Huang Quan's existence. They had just fought not long ago. She felt like her mind had gone blank. This ability was truly unsolvable.

"Can we change to another one?" Fei Xiao asked, frustrated.

“Aha.”

"Wait, how did this get involved with the God of Pleasure?"

“He had cleaned our car before, so we had some connection.”

"This happened many Amber Periods ago?"

Fei Xiao felt like he was in a history class. Who would know about this except for the records on the train? The God of Joy was the most capricious of all the gods. If someone really wanted to kill the train, it was hard to say whether He would intervene. Aha didn't care about the character's morality at all; he only cared about whether the matter could bring him fun.

Ling Sha's expression was like that of someone whose furnace had exploded during alchemy. Was this something she could hear for free? However, she did catch some information: it turned out that Fei Xiao's brother-in-law was a member of the Starry Sky Train. She knew about the train; it had helped Luo Fu solve a big problem last time, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him Jing Yuan's savior.

After arriving at the pharmacy, Ling Sha went in and spoke with Bai Lu for a few minutes before agreeing to let Fei Xiao cut in line. Fei Xiao went in to see a doctor, while Qiong and Ling Sha naturally stayed outside.

"Miss Ling Sha, are you still single? It's such a waste that such a beautiful girl like you isn't dating. Why don't you give it a try with me?"

Qiong looked at Ling Sha expectantly and said, "This woman is so beautiful, and her whole body is soft and fragrant, completely opposite to my tall and strong sister-in-law."

"I'm sorry, I'm not thinking about dating right now, but if you're willing to answer some of my questions, I can give you a chance."

Elder Ling Sha endured it, still smiling as he suppressed his temper and spoke to Qiong.

"Ask away, I promise I won't hide anything."

Qiong was delighted to hear this. He wasn't afraid that Ling Sha would resist his pursuit, but he was afraid that she wouldn't communicate with him. Just like what the wife of the Great Black Tower said, sometimes the question is far more important than the answer, and he gradually understood that.

"Why do you smell of medicinal pills? Who's been feeding you them?"

Ling Sha pointed to her small nose and asked. Alchemists of her level could smell the scent of pills on Qiong when they got close to him. She obviously already had the answer to this question, but she wanted Qiong to say it himself.

Chapter 265 The Dragon's Patience

"You mean this? I ate this stuff like candy, that's probably how I got this."

Qiong took out a bottle of pills from the rift space and handed it to Ling Sha. This thing was a health supplement. Although it sounded unreliable, it was effective and tasted good. Qiong would take one whenever he had free time for health maintenance.

"You're eating pills of this quality like snacks? Who made them for you?"

Ling Sha poured out a pill, sniffed it, and then began to doubt her life. She could also refine this pill, but to improve its quality to this level, the medicinal materials were one aspect, and the refining techniques had to be superb. But this was just a health supplement pill. To put it bluntly, only a master alchemist would be crazy to refine such a large quantity of this stuff. Why not use that time and energy to refine more powerful pills?

"Isn't she your previous master craftsman? I know her, so I had her refine it."

Qiong frankly revealed the origin of the pills, and Ling Sha looked at him with even more strange eyes. She had already guessed this answer, but she didn't expect Qiong to admit it so readily.

"Why would a pill refine so many pills for you?"

Ling Sha knew what kind of person her predecessor, Si Ding, was. His crimes were countless, and he was still at the top of the wanted list. But crimes aside, Ling Sha admired Dan Shu's alchemy skills. She was a blind person born with disabilities who rose to the position of Si Ding step by step. What else could she have relied on but superb skills?

"It's very simple, I used my money power."

Qiong directly took out her Estella Black Card. Feeling that Ling Sha might not understand it, she also took out several boxes of credits and some precious metals, which are the hard currency of the universe.

"Alright, alright, that's enough."

Ling Sha waved her hand and said, "Now I know that Qiong is a nouveau riche. Money is indeed the most standard unit to measure a person. Not to mention the former Si Ding, she is also quite short of money."

"You mean, while you were undercover, you spent a lot of money to buy a lot of pills that the former Si Ding personally refined? Isn't that aiding the enemy?"

Ling Sha rephrased the question to Qiong, saying that this was indeed a classic case of money making the devil turn the millstone; as long as you give enough, even bad guys will obediently serve you.

"There's no other way. How can I gain trust if I don't spend money? Besides, the situation on Xianzhou was already at its worst. To be honest, there was no room for it to go any further. It was going to go up no matter which way it went."

Qiong shrugged and said that Ling Sha couldn't control her expression. She felt both angry and amused. She wasn't involved in the situation, but based on what she had heard, it was indeed an unsolvable problem.

"That's way too blunt..."

Ling Sha commented with a smile, then became interested in the types of pills on Qiong's body. Those things were all made by the former Si Ding, so they had a different meaning to her.

"How many kinds of pills do you have left? Can you give me one of each? Don't worry, I definitely won't let you waste your money. I'll trade one bottle for one of your pills."

Ling Sha took out a bottle of pills she had refined herself and wanted to exchange them with Qiong. Such an exchange would definitely be a good deal. Her pill refining skills were no less than Dan Shu's, only the process was different. The person who could take over the position of Si Ding was a genius among geniuses. Of course, she wanted to study another genius.

Do I look like someone who needs elixirs?

Qiong didn't even look at the pill in Ling Sha's hand. He put his hands on his hips, looked down at her with an arrogant air, and said...

"What do you want?"

Ling Sha's inner voice was already getting irritated, but she still asked with a smile.

"One kiss for one kiss, yours."

Qiong held up two index fingers and said, "One for one is an absolutely fair deal." However, Ling Sha's face visibly darkened.

"Don't get angry, don't get angry, anger will make you sick, and who can take your place..."

Ling Sha clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, trying to hypnotize her emotions. Suddenly, Qiong remembered that she was also a member of the Wisdom Clan. Even if she wasn't a combat type, she still possessed the power of a dragon. These little fists hitting her would probably be unbearable.

"Well, you're getting a kiss in exchange for a pill personally refined by the former Si Ding. You're getting a great deal! Besides, I'm so handsome, it's not like I'm asking you to kiss something dirty."

Although Qiong was afraid of being hit by the little fists, he still didn't let go. At this time, maintaining the initiative was the right thing to do. Once he got angry, he wouldn't be able to get this beautiful dragon girl anymore.

"Let me confirm, do you want to pursue me and then marry me?" Ling Sha asked Qiong.

"Yes, I fell in love with you at first sight."

"You yourself said before that it was lust at first sight, right?"

"Aren't these two words equivalent?"

"That's true. If you want to marry me, you'll face a lot of problems. My position is being eyed by many people. If you're with me, you'll have to face those problems with me, which won't do you any good."

Ling Sha tried to use the problems she faced to make Qiong back down, but this time Qiong didn't argue with her in a frivolous way. Instead, he thought about it carefully.

"To put it simply, are you in trouble? Is there something in the Dan Ding Division that's bothering you?"

Qiong asked curiously. He had thought of some things. After Dan Shu ran away, he left behind a mess. But no matter how messy it was, many people were envious of the position of Si Ding. Then the Immortal Boat Alliance suddenly announced the parachuting of a Si Ding, which slapped all those who had the opportunity in the face. They didn't dare to cause trouble for the higher-ups, so of course they vented their anger on Ling Sha. It would be best if they could drive her away. Then the opportunity would come.

"First, there is a complex web of interests and nepotism. Second, there is a lack of focus and a tendency to shirk responsibility. Third, the system of rewards and punishments is inappropriate and leads to discontent. Fourth, research is looked down upon and medical practice is neglected. Fifth, those with power and influence take advantage of everyone, while those who aspire to advancement become disheartened. Over time, this leads to a host of problems."

When faced with Qiong's question, Ling Sha did not evade it, but instead explained her worries one by one, answering in great detail.

"Since you previously infiltrated the Dan Ding Division, could you tell me how the former Dan Ding managed to seize power within the division? Even a blind person could do that."

Ling Sha was actually very puzzled by something: before Dan Shu took over the Dan Ding Division, the factional strife here was already ruthless. So the current situation was definitely not caused by Dan Shu's secret medicine technique, but rather by long-standing problems. Dan Shu was able to take over the Dan Ding Division by herself and do all sorts of bad things here, yet no one reported her. This means that she had already firmly controlled the Dan Ding Division. It was terrifying to think about.

"Well, bad people and good people do things differently. Her methods may not be suitable for you. Putting aside those brainwashing pills, she's much more ruthless than you. Do you see that sea?"

Qiong scratched his head. He found it difficult to talk to Ling Sha about the Dan Shu, as there were too many things to mention. As he spoke, he pointed to the sea outside the Dan Ding Si.

“I saw it,” Ling Sha replied.

Chapter 266 is so torturous

"The disobedient people are all soaking in there."

"What? Such a thing?"

Ling Sha gasped, a bold idea popping into her head: what if she were to seduce a disobedient person? It was an evil thought, but she felt inexplicably exhilarated.

"Yes, but the former Dan Ding only killed her own people. She didn't force all the people in the Dan Ding Division to join her team. It was all voluntary. Otherwise, you wouldn't see so many people now, right?"

"Too."

Ling Sha agreed with Qiong's words. Although many villains of the Pill Cauldron Division had been purged before, those who remained might not all be unaware of the truth. However, there was no need to investigate further. If they did, all the villains would die, and the Pill Cauldron Division would be ruined.

"In short, you have no backing. You said you were transferred from another place, but you have nothing behind you. If these out-of-towners don't bully you, who else will they bully?"

Qiong said with certainty that although Ling Sha said she was a native of Luofu Chiming, Luofu Chiming was already in dire straits, so who would care about a relative who had left hundreds of years ago?

"According to you, how am I supposed to find a backer?"

Ling Sha thought Qiong was right. If she had a powerful backer like the Medicine King's Secret Manual, anyone who disobeyed her could be thrown into the sea, and no one would dare to plot against her openly or secretly.

"It's very simple. Isn't that what I'm doing? If you become my wife, I'll wipe out the whole family of anyone who dares to bully you."

Qiong pointed to herself with a thumbs-up, as if she were a product on sale, and even winked at Ling Sha.

"This is the Celestial Ship, not a place where you can do whatever you want."

Ling Sha's lips twitched. She hadn't expected to come full circle. She wondered if this person hadn't forgotten his original intentions or what. It made her laugh.

"Ha, my friendship with Jingyuan is so deep, I can really do whatever I want. See this? Let's form an alliance with Yuzhao. Will it work?"

Qiong started taking out his treasures again. When Ling Sha saw the Alliance Jade Sign, she laughed speechlessly. Such an important thing was given to this frivolous man. The people on the Starry Sky Train were really carefree.

“Yes, but it can only be used once,” Ling Sha said.

"Once is enough. When they see that I really dare to kill, they won't gamble on how many bullets I have in my gun."

"What you say makes sense, but you're using this just for me?"

Ling Sha raised her hand and touched her chin, thinking. Although Qiong was not serious, his words were rough but reasonable. The alliance with Yu Zhao could indeed be used as a get-out-of-jail-free card.

"It's for my wife. You have to become my wife first before you can get everything I promise you. That way, I won't lose out."

Qiong is very cunning. She knows that some things should be shown to women before they use them. If she uses them first, she will become a clown. So she gave a very clear hint.

"Even if it's for the sake of his wife, using the Jade Oath of Alliance is too frivolous."

"This thing is really just so-so. If our Starry Sky Train really encounters trouble that we can't handle, are we going to use this to call in the Celestial Ship soldiers and send them to their deaths? We would feel uneasy if even one person died. They are living, breathing people with their own families. How can they die for our troubles?"

Qiong said indifferently that when Pinocchio encountered something he couldn't handle before, he did want to use the Immortal Boat to fill the gap, but that was because his brother-in-law was kind-hearted and wouldn't hurt anyone. He wouldn't die if he came. If he really encountered something that could kill people, he would definitely run away.

"Yes, that's true, but I feel like you're just making empty promises to me."

Ling Sha's smile softened a bit. She was also a physician by training, so she agreed with Qiong's words. Rather than saving lives, it was better to prevent the injured from even appearing in the first place.

"Just tell me if you want it or not, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"I don't want to. Anyway, I've lived long enough. I can just slowly wear them down."

Ling Sha rejected his proposal under Qiong's expectant gaze. [Jun, Yang Si Ling Ni E Si Ba Si, Qiong was naturally very disappointed; this woman was quite difficult to fool.]

"Contrary to her appearance, she has an unexpectedly stubborn personality."

Qiong sighed and said that he was facing a situation where he would only have this opportunity once it was gone. After participating in the martial arts ceremony, he would have to leave the immortal ship.

"Hehe, if you want to marry me, you'll have to find all of the previous Si Ding's alchemy insights and formula annotations for me. The formulas she left behind are so difficult for me to understand that I would have to study them for hundreds of years if she hadn't come and guided me."

Ling Sha laughed triumphantly. She was pleased that she hadn't fallen for Qiong's trick. After being pleased, she naturally became complacent. Anyway, she didn't think Qiong could have such a thing.

"Here you go, but you have to keep your word."
