Chapter 289 Airship
"Wake up! The sun's already high in the sky! Wake up!!!"
Hearing March 7th's urging voice at the door, Xing slowly opened her eyes.
Yes, I slept very well last night.
Xing stretched, opened the door, and let March 7th in.
Seeing that she was still awake, March 7th breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you alright? Can you hear me? I was so scared when I saw no sound from the room!"
star:......
To be honest, she remembered a similar conversation that happened not long ago, except that they were still in the dream of Taiyi and almost completely succumbed to it.
She couldn't help but mutter, "This conversation sounds so familiar..."
March 7th tilted her head: "What did you say? Are you still half asleep? The dream of order is over—you're so carefree and sleep so well. I didn't sleep a wink last night, afraid that if I closed my eyes I wouldn't wake up again."
Xing stated a fact: "No, it doesn't exist."
March 7th made a speechless expression: "Pam just told us not to treat them as our protectors before we got off the bus..."
"But Zhi is indeed our protector," Xing said calmly. "What about everyone else?"
"Oh, while you were asleep, the star core was basically sealed off. The ordinary people of Pinocene have no idea what happened. They only feel that their memories are a bit hazy, as if a segment of their lives has been emptied out..."
"As for the family's official statement, it is that 'the Harmony Ceremony was attacked by an unidentified star core and was forced to stop'—after all, matters of 'Order' can't be discussed openly."
"Right now, the four major families besides Oak are doing their best to quell the aftermath of the incident. The train crew has also been invited to sit on the family's 'Huangchangshi' and participate in an important meeting as witnesses—don't even think about it, they are just their distinguished guests, they were invited by them alone."
Xing nodded: "So, now I'm the only one left?"
"That's right, you're the only one missing. Hurry up and get ready, then let's set off."
Xing went to pack her things.
While we're at it, let's ask what the "Huichangshi" ship is on March 7th.
March 7th said it was a huge airship, and it was said that it never appeared in public. Only distinguished family guests were qualified to board the bow and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Pinocchio.
After packing their things, Xing and March 7 went to the Dreamy Bar to meet up with everyone.
—Of course? Oh, he's not part of the train crew anymore, so we don't need to worry about him.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the dream's "golden hour"—
Liu Ying was looking at the golden ocean all around her, listening to the little projected figure talking beside her.
"A life of extravagance and debauchery, just like Aprilon. How about it, is it the dream you imagined?"
Liu Ying smiled and said, "You asked me the same question when I first came in."
Silver Wolf put his hands on his hips: "Yeah, I remember back then, your answer was no, but after everything that's happened, I think you seem to actually like it quite a bit."
"But I should remind you that you're still on the Hound's wanted list, so keep a low profile."
Firefly nodded: "It really is a novel experience, but please, the question is..."
"Alright, alright, here's the important part—in the dream of [order], some are intoxicated, some are trying to break free, some have already broken free, and some have reaped considerable rewards."
The silver wolf shook its head and mimicked a cat's movements, even raising its paw and waving it:
"They've gone out of the open and completely blended in. Don't ask anymore."
"These are Elio's exact words."
Silver Wolf shrugged: "To be honest, I always thought they were together a long time ago."
Liu Ying gave a very sweet smile:
That's so exciting!
The couple has finally become a reality in a real sense!
"Alright, they seem to be getting along quite well right now, so let's not provoke them for the time being—let's have a moment of silence for those idiots on the Luofu Immortal Ship who are planning to escape, they're doomed this time."
"Hehehe, to be precise, they were actually already dead, the moment they chose to go and save their leader."
Firefly was in a good mood: "However, my script isn't finished yet."
"Oh, right, Kafka also has something for you: 'If you see anything suitable in Pinocchio, bring me a copy too. Use my card; you know the PIN.'"
"Okay, I'll keep that in mind."
Star Core Hunters are one family—
----------------
At the same time, a huge airship flew across the sky.
This is a rather glamorous place, with not only a large swimming pool but also many shops selling luxury goods.
The restaurants and casinos above are also quite eye-catching.
Topa felt he might see gold dust at the casino.
...No, Miss Sasana has already arrived, and Sand Gold dares not enter the casino.
The assistant in front of Topa explained the current situation.
"These guys in the family are really good at putting on a show. I thought it would be in a more low-key, formal place, but I didn't expect them to find a luxury airship."
Topa sighed, "Has the True Lord arrived?"
The assistant nodded: "The True Lord arrived earlier and should already be talking with the head of the Clover family."
"Oh dear, this is really..."
Faced with someone so powerful that they couldn't possibly fight back, Toppa could guess that the company probably wouldn't make much money this time.
After all, the True Lord is indeed watching this place closely. If he is not satisfied, he will rush over like a wolf and tear more flesh and blood from the family and company.
"This meeting is mostly an appetizer. The person who organized this meeting probably just wanted to sound out the company's intentions—and perhaps more importantly, to confirm whether Zhenjun would implicate the entire Pinocchio due to the 'Order' issue."
After all, those idiots directly invaded the Immortal Boat Alliance.
They didn't consider at all that the guardian of the Immortal Boat Alliance was someone who would protect his own.
"Everyone has to suffer a huge loss, the family? Ha!"
Topa waved his hand: "Alright, I'll go get ready. Go tell everyone in the group to just stay at their posts and not worry too much about the negotiations."
It's still early for the agreed time, so how about... we take a walk around the area first?
--------------
"It's been almost an Amber Period since we last met, Mr. Alfred."
Toppa was strolling around nearby with his tent, feeding his piggy bank as he went.
Almost just a door away, Yun Zhi was sitting on a luxurious red sofa, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, with a white satin ribbon tying up her long hair, and twirling a white jade flute in her hand.
The flute suddenly stopped, and when the well-proportioned hand grasped the white jade, it was even more dazzling than the jade itself.
"What do you think of my outfit today?"
Yun Zhili tidied her hair.
Before him sat an old man named Pipixi, whose face was kind but whose eyes gleamed with shrewdness.
"Hehehe, True Lord, your beauty is already unparalleled in the world, and your clothes are merely icing on the cake."
Old Emperor's laughter was quite distinctive: "However, my memories are still from back then, when the True Lord called me Little Emperor."
"The way you address someone changes as their status changes, child."
Yun leaned back on the sofa and said relaxedly, "It's a pity that my initial intention in coming to meet you today wasn't very friendly."
"I understand, I understand. Rest assured, True Lord, the Pinocchio family has indeed failed in their duty this time. We will give you and the Immortal Boat Alliance an explanation."
"Then I'll wait and see."
Yun sighed, "Alas... You know, before coming to Pinocchio, I specifically went to see the Heavenly Lord of Harmony and even told Him that if things went wrong, I should ask for His forgiveness—don't look at me, He agreed."
No objection means agreement.
Old Emperor: ......
My lord, you've killed the conversation.
