Chapter 8

Oh no, I'm going to be tempted!

……

(Seeking flowers, seeking evaluation)

9. Miss Miss Xueyi: It's been too long since I returned to the living, the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou is actually...

"Shopkeeper, this faucet of yours... is it for sale?"

After drinking the Star-Spiced Boba, Fu Xuan still couldn't help but ask.

Lin Qi answered very readily.

"For sale!"

"How many Strale?"

"If others come to buy it, I won't sell it for any amount of money, but for you, Diviner Master, I'll charge five hundred Strale."

"It's not too expensive."

Fu Xuan nodded and immediately placed the order readily.

No choice.

Who made her like drinking Star-Spiced Boba so much?

Let alone five hundred Strale, she would take it even for fifty thousand Strale!

In fact.

Five hundred Strale is definitely not a small amount; converted into Credits, it's a full one hundred thousand!

You have to know that with the not-low consumption level of the space station, four thousand Credits are enough for two people to live for a month; an ordinary person can't save one hundred thousand Credits in a year or two.

Of course.

This little bit of money doesn't mean anything to Fu Xuan.

Besides, even if she didn't hold a high position, she had lived for several hundred years and still had some family wealth.

A mere five hundred Strale is not a problem at all.

"Ahem!"

Putting away the faucet, Fu Xuan composed her expression and didn't forget the purpose of her trip.

"Shopkeeper, I won't beat around the bush! I came here for a diviner of the Divination Commission. I won't say the name; the shopkeeper should be clear."

"I just want to ask, does the shopkeeper know why she has been so abnormal recently?"

"Or is it that the shopkeeper is also involved in this matter?"

Lin Qi of course knew who Fu Xuan was talking about.

But he obviously didn't intend to cover for her, just asked in confusion, "Did Did Qingque, exposed so quickly? I thought she could hold on for a while longer; I didn't expect it, what a waste of all the Curios I sold her! I underestimated you Luofu Luofu Xianzhou people! Diviner Master, your Omniscia is truly flawless."

"Hmm?"

Fu Xuan's beautiful brows furrowed, and the joy of obtaining the infinitely drinkable Star-Spiced Boba Curio disappeared completely.

Did Did Did Qingque really...

At this time.

Fu Xuan's Jade Abacus received a message.

It came from the law enforcement department of the Balance Commission, almost hammering the conjecture.

Not only was there text information, but there was also a clip of video, which clearly showed the scene of Did Did Qingque flying away, and even gave a close-up of her "Mara-Struck."

The text said, "Suspect Did Did Qingque is missing, requesting the Divination Commission to enable the Matrix of Prescience to query her whereabouts!"

At this moment, Fu Xuan fell silent.

Since the Matrix of Prescience was built, it wasn't that it hadn't been used on her own people, but in this situation, it was really rare.

In addition, there was another doubt that plagued Fu Xuan.

Why did Did Did Qingque want to join the Sanctus Medicus?

Could it be...

Because I manage too strictly, making her unable to slack off?

For some reason, Fu Xuan felt a bit self-blaming, as if she had harmed Did Did Qingque.

"But there is still room for redemption; Did Did Qingque hasn't fallen too deep yet. Even if I bet my name as the Diviner, I must pull Did Did Qingque back."

Thinking this, Fu Xuan had a cold face, her lotus steps stepped lightly, the magic circle under her feet rose, and her whole person suddenly soared into the sky.

The speed was faster than a star-skiff!

"Left quite fast."

Walking out of the shop, Lin Qi looked at the direction Fu Xuan left and silently estimated her strength.

Considering Fu Xuan's best divination, which he hadn't felt much of yet, Lin Qi reached a conclusion.

"Hmm..."

"Without using items, I shouldn't be able to take her down."

"The Diviner Master is still very strong."

"It's just that the reaction seems a bit strong; isn't it just slacking off? Making it look like a major crime; has the Divination Commission always been under such high pressure?"

"Did Did Qingque, I understand you now; it's not easy for a working person."

Lin Qi sighed while thinking about whether to watch the fun.

Suddenly, a poker-faced girl who was a bit taller than Fu Xuan, along with a team of Underworld guards, surrounded Lin Qi along with Lin Qi's shop.

This girl had black hair and red eyes, and her tone was cold: "Ten-Lords Commission 'Detention' Department Judge—Miss Miss Xueyi, by the order of the Ten-Lords Commission, before the Did Did Qingque case is investigated clearly, please stay here for the time being."

Lin Qi turned his head and looked at this girl, his attitude noncommittal.

He was just a bit confused about what Did Did Qingque had done.

Fu Xuan coming in person could be said to be concerned about her subordinates.

With the Ten-Lords Commission involved, the nature of the matter was a bit different.

In addition, no wonder Fu Xuan left so readily.

It turned out she had calculated that the Ten-Lords Commission would come?

But as far as Lin Qi knew, generally only major criminals, or matters related to Mara-Struck, would the Ten-Lords Commission come forward.

So, did Did Did Qingque commit such a big crime?

Lin Qi didn't ask the question; he could see that the girl in front of him wouldn't reveal too much information.

Because...

"Are you a mechanical body?"

"Yes!"

"I have long heard that the Ten-Lords Commission specializes in puppet craftsmanship; seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary. If Miss Miss Miss Xueyi didn't have a poker face, she would be almost indistinguishable from a real person!" Lin Qi sighed.

Although he had pulled a lot of "black technology," he wasn't proficient in every technology.

At least in terms of puppet bodies, he wasn't as proficient as the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou.

Even Herta might not be able to compare?

Lin Qi wasn't sure about this.

Because he had only studied puppets at the space station and hadn't studied them on the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou yet.

And he didn't know if there were ball joints under this poker-faced girl's white clothes?

Lin Qi took a good look at the girl and touched his chin.

Hmm...

Covered by white silk, couldn't tell.

Then, Lin Qi, whose research desire had come up, said without thinking.

"Miss Miss Miss Xueyi, can I see your legs? Um, preferably the kind without anything on."

"???"

At this moment.

Even though Miss Miss Xueyi was a mechanical body and couldn't feel too many emotions, she was dazed beyond measure.

Is it me who is wrong, or do you have a problem?

It's been too long since I "returned to the living"; can the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou already discuss this generously?

……

ps: The prices didn't adopt the prices in the game store; the store prices are too exaggerated for people in the Honkai: Star Rail world. According to game text, a few thousand Credits are enough for two people to live. At the same time, the damage degree of the Astral Express is 20%, and the Corporation's valuation is 990,000 Credits. If the prices in the game store were used, an Astral Express worth 5 million would only be equivalent to 4,000 cups of Star-Spiced Boba, which is obviously impossible.
