I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"Our relationship is just so-so, that's for sure! I don't see her very often."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yi was filled with surprise.

"I remember when you were little, you got hurt and went to Aya for comfort. She took such good care of you that you almost became like mother and daughter. In the end, you were just ordinary friends?!"

"...?"

"Alas, time is so cruel, it has turned the little girl who depended on Aglaia into such a cold person."

Seeing Hua Yi's deeply moved expression, Sai Fei'er stood there for a long time before she came to her senses.

The girl was almost two?? (two?) Er?? San Lin ? Er.? point jump.

"You even know about this? Aglaia told you? How come she tells you everything! Who else relies on her? Do you even know what the God of Mischief is? I can go anywhere in Onpharos, why would I need Aglaia?"

"Oh."

Hua Yi became more polite.

"Since we're just ordinary friends, I can't say much about Krydella—Miss Seifer rarely returns to Ohma, so let me show you some hospitality, please!"

Few people could evoke such dramatic and drastic changes in Sai Fei'er's emotions with just a few words.

She's a demigod of trickery, and all she ever does is deceive.

But Hua Yi did it.

It was like a host entertaining a guest, which made Sai Fei'er's vision go black.

"Your identity changed way too fast! All told, the Star Train has only been in Onpharos for a few days. I'm the local!"

"As someone said, Q?U?-??·?児酒琉?亦珊玐?刘? and Aya don't see each other much, they're just ordinary friends."

Hua Yi patiently gave examples and explained the reasoning.

“Miss Saifei has come from afar. Have you had breakfast yet? As the host, I cannot neglect my guest.”

"...To be honest, eloquence should be the domain of [Trickery], how come you're more talkative than me? As for breakfast—come on, I'll take you somewhere to see how much progress has been made in solving Ohmma's food problem."

Sai Fei'er pulled Hua Yi towards the outside of Yunshi Tiangong.

She hadn't forgotten that Aglaia was in charge of the Golden Thread, and that nothing in Ohma City could escape the notice of the Romantic Demigod.

Continuing the topic here, if Hua Yi really forces me to say "Aglaia and I are like family," then I'll have lost completely.

As for being a guide to the end of the west wind, Saifeier hadn't forgotten, but judging from Aglaia's appearance, she estimated that they would need to rest for another two hours before setting off.

She walked lightly ahead, exiting the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace, looking around.

"I see that the lives of the citizens are indeed getting better. They no longer have to worry about food shortages and can find basic jobs to make a living—the Star Train is loaded with a whole truckload of food?"

"The compressed biscuits produced by the Interstellar Peace Company can fill your stomach with just one piece. Combined with high-yield wheat and the cave technology of the Immortal Ship, solving the city-state problem is a piece of cake."

Hua Yi suppressed his urge to tease the cat and gestured for her to continue her patrol.

Where are you taking me?

"sewer."

Sai Fei'er smiled slyly, wandered around, and went further and further astray. Finally, she nimbly climbed over a low fence and jumped into the inconspicuous vertical well.

Hua Yi jumped down after her.

The light suddenly dimmed, the air became damp and murky, and it smelled of rust. Every step the two took echoed in the circular passageway.

In terms of the sewer environment alone, this place is actually quite clean, with only the smell of rust, and no foul odor from years of grime and fermenting organic matter.

However, the conditions are definitely much worse than on the ground.

Saifeier seemed to have been here many times, skillfully stepping along the drier edges of the passage, delving deeper into the thickest main pipe. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)

She deliberately turned her head to look at Hua Yi's expression.

"Hey, you didn't look disgusted. Don't you think this place is dirty and messy? As a savior from outer space, your life should be quite comfortable."

"If we know nothing about the living conditions of ordinary people, or even the suffering of the poor, how can we talk about changing people's lives?"

Hua Yi remained calm.

Do those in positions of authority look down on others?

The environment of the sewers is actually irrelevant. If he were truly arrogant, it should be because he is extremely indifferent to the masses under the Star God, rather than having such conventional likes and dislikes.

"I'm really impressed with you now!"

Sai Fei smiled at Hua Yi, secretly admiring that Aglaia had indeed made the right choice.

She quickened her pace and continued deeper into the sewers until she reached an open space at the end.

The cozy wooden cabin was clearly built by human hands, and it even had ventilation openings connecting to the ground. The air was fresher than in other places, and it even had the fragrance of grass and trees, coming from the flowers and plants planted in front of the cabin.

But there was no one there.

—How come no one's here?!

Sai Fei'er's expression changed drastically, and she was about to rush over to check when Hua Yi spoke first.

"Are you here to find the children who lived here? They have already been brought back to the surface."

"When did this happen? Where were they sent? Those children have no relatives, and they are too young to work. They could be kidnapped by bad guys if they walk alone on the street. Don't be fooled by how dark the sewers are; they are safer for orphans than the surface!"

If an adult were to get drunk and suddenly go crazy, taking out their anger on a passing homeless child and kicking them, Aglaia might not be able to stop the kick in time if she wasn't prepared.

Once you've been caught in the rain, you'll always want to offer an umbrella to someone else.

This is the orphans' little nest, secluded and safe, with the warmth that Sai Fei'er has tried her best to create.

“A few days ago, Katniss was put on trial at the Citizens’ Assembly, which also rendered the Senate a mere shell of its former self. I instructed Aglaia to convert the vacant official residence into an orphanage to take in homeless children.”

Saifeier tries to show Huayi the dark side of Ohema.

But how could Hua Yi, who governs the city-state, overlook any corner?

"Don't worry about adults bullying children. Countless eyes are watching the public welfare projects, including the refugees and Titan believers I've helped, as well as groups like the Suspended Blade Army and the Ohma Guard. The donated supplies alone for the orphanages are already piling up like mountains."

Chapter 763 Trust Established in the Orphanage

Saifeier brought Huayi here specifically to show him the little things about Ohema, to help the homeless children and prevent them from being truly forgotten.

Previously, Ohmma had taken in refugees, but food shortages and shrinking living space led to various problems. As a result, the local population was somewhat negative, and orphans could easily be ostracized if they walked the streets.

Those little brats are stealing our home!

However, the cunning demigod did not expect that Hua Yi had already offered a helping hand, taking into account all aspects.

"Shall we go visit the orphanage?"

Hua Yi smiled and invited Sai Fei'er.

“You haven’t been back to Ohmma for a while, so I’ll be your guide first.”

"go with!"

Saifei agreed quickly.

This time, Hua Yi led the way, leading them out of the sewers and towards the bustling area of ​​Ohmma.

The orphanage was originally the Senate mansion, located in an extremely desirable area. It is surrounded by flower gardens and greenery, offering excellent views, and is far away from the hustle and bustle of ordinary citizens.

As for the building itself, even if all the luxurious decorations were removed and exchanged for basic necessities, the remaining magnificent stone pillars and carved walls still offer a glimpse into how luxurious it once was.

"I think the Senate has amassed quite a fortune. Aglaia has been the consul for so long, yet she's been too lenient with the Senate. If you ask me, she should be like Crydella..."

After a pause, Sai Feier nudged Hua Yi's arm, a pleased expression on her face.

"The Senate 213 has existed for a long time. Do you know how Cervdela dealt with it back then?"

“Kill. Cerudela carried out a great purge, which once turned the Senate into a bloodbath.”

While Hua Yi was speaking, Sai Feier kept staring at him.

I hope to see expressions of approval or disapproval.

Although it's unknown where the extraterrestrial savior learned about Crydella, it must be quite surprising that such a petite girl would govern with such violent methods.

Ke Huayi's expression remained unchanged.

Saifei blinked her big eyes: "You don't seem to reject Krydella's ideas."

"I would say she did a good job."

"That's right! Many times, not opposing is actually the same as supporting. As a result, a spectator appeared in the Senate that year, claiming to remain neutral and defend the right of every honest citizen to express themselves, which indirectly saved the Senate."

Saifeier had a lot of complaints about that audience member who performed the ritual.

He pretended to uphold fairness, but he didn't make any contributions in the fight against the Black Tide. His words and actions actually hindered Aglaia, while giving the Senate a glamorous reputation and limiting the power of the Golden Clan.

Without the Senate's constraints, Gleya should have had an easier time governing Ohma (dca).

"And then there's Katniss. I've seen the charges against her. She's really done some terrible things, and yet this honorary senator of the Divine Ceremony just pretends nothing happened and doesn't try to stop her at all!"

"You have a keen eye for the situation."

"That's right, keen eyesight is an essential skill for phantom thieves!"

Sai Fei'er became more and more excited as she spoke, complaining to Hua Yi about various things.

Her attitude towards Aglaia was complicated. For some reason, she wanted to avoid him as much as possible. In addition, she was usually unconventional and rarely confided in anyone.

Hua Yi was just too good at chatting. Even if he was deliberately teasing someone, he could become familiar with Sai Feier in just a few words, and the next step was to talk about everything.

"You cured Aglaia's eyes, handled the Ohmma crisis, overthrew the Senate... I'm pleased to see all your actions. Hua Zi, I'll call you that from now on. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know!"

Hua Yi has many titles and honors, almost all of which are very impressive, but this is the first time he has been called "Hua Zi".

His eyes twitched slightly, but seeing Sai Feier's high spirits, he accepted it without raising any objections.

"Whatever makes you happy."

Actually, considering that Aglaia raised Saifeier like a mother when she was little, Hua Yi had a wicked thought: given his current relationship with Aglaia, should Saifeier call me dad?

cough cough...

"Let's go and take a look inside the orphanage."

“Why don’t I just take you in?” Sai Fei’er was unaware of Hua Yi’s daring idea. She patted her good friend on the shoulder and said, “If you, the savior, show yourself, the people at the orphanage will definitely be super enthusiastic, but who knows what they’ll be like in private.”

"That makes sense." (For super-exciting novels, visit Feilu Novel Network!)

Hua Yi used his power called "Consciousness" to conceal his and Sai Fei'er's existence.

"I've already used my methods, and now no one can find us."

"Really? I don't feel anything!"

The two entered the orphanage through the main gate. The children playing and laughing, as well as the kind and gentle older sisters, were completely unaware of the arrival of visitors.

Sunlight streamed through the high windows, illuminating the exceptionally clean hall. The furnishings were decorated in warm colors, and the walls were adorned with children's innocent drawings. A faint, sweet aroma of food filled the air.

Several female staff members, dressed in simple cloth dresses, some young and some old, were bending down and patiently helping a young girl adjust her collar.

Some older girls gently wiped the dirt off the little one's face with a cloth, their movements tender, as if they were taking care of a younger sister.

An elderly woman with graying temples sat on a low stool a little further away, holding a toddler in her arms, gently rocking him while humming an old lullaby to lull him to sleep.

"..."

Saifei witnessed these scenes and was filled with mixed emotions.

She and Hua Yi did indeed conceal their presence and were not discovered by anyone throughout the entire process; the orphanage caregiver's actions were undeniable.

A very loving family.

Several faces were particularly familiar; they were children who had been cared for by Sai Feier and taken in at the secret base in the sewers.

They are like little adults, not the kind of children who need caregivers to look after them. On the contrary, the children, at such a young age, can help wash apples and do some simple housework.

"Whoosh—" Sai Feier raised her head proudly, "Do you see? How well-behaved the children I've taught are!"

"I see it."

Hua Yi also imitated the cat's posture, raising his head.

"And you, do you see how reliable the orphanage I ordered to be renovated is? The caregivers are patient and friendly, and they won't be two-faced or abuse children in private."

"Mmm, I see it clearly now~"

Sai Feier patted Hua Yi's shoulder twice more, looking quite happy.
