Chapter 938

~7 min read 1,287 words

A few people were snacking and strolling on the street, and after a while they finally arrived at the place selling souvenirs.

"Welcome, what can I help you with?"

"Hello, boss. I'm new here and wanted to bring some dreamland specialties for my friends back home. Two locals recommended this place, so let's take a look." Tingyun smiled slightly.

The boss instantly beamed, unable to close his mouth: "Oh, you really know how to talk, customer—come, just have a look."

The first was Lord Fu Xuan of the Divination Bureau; considering the Divination Bureau's mature and steady nature, Xing decisively chose the Hanu Brothers' rocket launcher.

"The Hanu Brothers' rocket launcher."

"Tingyun widened her eyes in surprise: 'Lord Fu Xuan, you still have such refined tastes? It seems that while I was asleep, the Immortal Vessel has changed. In that case, I'll follow your suggestion.'"

"How about giving him a surprise troop?"

Sanyueqi: "Huh? Are you serious?"

"Tingyun knew Xing was joking and couldn't help but chuckle: 'Now the Alliance has all of you assisting, which beats fifty surprise units; sending more would just be diminishing returns.'"

Cheng Long's Adventure Chronicle

"Miss Tingyun's speech is flawless—she first states her purpose, then flatters the boss, and even subtly warns that the two locals nearby shouldn't cheat her. With this talent for praise, it's truly refreshing."

Cheng Long leaned back, sinking into the old sofa's embrace, feeling an indescribable ease. Miss Tingyun is not only beautiful but also has a pleasant voice, like a soft brush gently scratching his heart over and over, and he is growing more and more fond of these people from the Immortal Vessel.

"Dad agrees." Dad walked in with a cup of pu'er tea, sat down slowly, and said, "On this Immortal Vessel, the two with the highest emotional intelligence and best speaking skills are probably General Jingyuan and this Fox Lady."

"What about Miss Lingsha?" Xiao Yu blinked and said, "Obviously Miss Lingsha's voice is also very soothing, and she's——so beautiful!"

"Lingsha? Oh right, her speaking skills are also high, and her handling of things is very exquisite, though when she talks to others she's a bit…… Dad, what's that idiom again?" Cheng Long looked toward his dad for help.

"He's armed to the teeth."

"Exactly! You don't think Miss Lingsha, who usually seems friendly on the surface, but when she speaks there's always a hidden knife in her smile, giving you a chilling feeling? And her speech is aggressive… uh, like hiding a gun in a KFC bag—you think she's holding food coming toward you, but she's actually out to kill you. I think the scene where we initially dealt with Si Ke Te's mechs is a perfect example."

Cheng Long usually fears most becoming an opponent of such a lady.

You can't out-argue her at all. The key is you can't find any fault in her words, and even if she's being sarcastic, you'll likely end up suffering. Even in a duel, you might not be her match, given her high status and power—she could crush you in a minute if she wanted.

But from another angle, if you stand in the position of a superior like General Jingyuan, having a subordinate like Lingsha is indeed comfortable. Willing to innovate, efficient in handling affairs, smooth in dealing with colleagues… well, no matter how you think about it, she's more suited to be a general than Fu Taibu.

"How about… a little share of Pinokangni?"

"March 7 waved her hands repeatedly: 'You can't decide that!'"

"This is exactly the treasure I've been dreaming of, but as a general holding a high position, I can't accept it."

After much deliberation, Tingyun finally chose a box of Beautiful Dreams Past film roll. Lastly, Bai Lu, Tingyun picked some local Suleda syrup and packed everything to go.

"With the two of you helping, things went even smoother than expected; after calculating the time, there's actually some left."

March 7 suggested: "How about we go take a look at the Dream Bazaar again? Although there are memory bubbles outside, the dream bubbles from Pinokangni are different; even if we don't give them away, keeping them as souvenirs is quite appropriate."

"A keepsake for myself… that's indeed necessary." Tingyun paused, "However, I still have an unresolved matter. Since this is the last stop, may I have a word? Let's find a quiet corner to talk privately with the two of you."

Although March 7 had doubts inside, she still complied and led Tingyun to a secluded corner.

"Miss Tingyun, what is this…?"

"I've been accompanied by all of you for many days, receiving constant care, and I'm deeply grateful." Tingyun turned and solemnly looked at the two, "But some things are still hard to forget; I think it'sbest to speak openly before we part. Do you still remember the situation when we first met?"

March 7 recalled with interest: "How could I forget? Xing was scared stiff, standing there shouting——"

"Huohuo, how is it you!"

Tingyun chuckled: "Not a bit off."

"Your journey on the Immortal Vessel, I've heard bits and pieces, and I can't help but marvel at how exquisite Huanglong's disguise is—just like another me in the world, deceiving everyone."

JOJO's Bizarre Adventure: Unbreakable Diamond

"When Huanglong initially disguised as Tingyun, she even asked Xing if he had ever wanted to taste the divine fruit from the antlers of the Abundant Divine Deer; looking back now, these were all her tells. Too bad I thought back then that Tingyun had just lost her head and never imagined she was Huanglong."

Kangyi lowered his head, feeling somewhat emotional: "If she truly dared to spend thought on the Abundant Calamity as an Immortal Vessel person, we could basically conclude she's part of the Medicine King's secret lineage; as long as Xing reports her words to Yukong or anyone in the Immortal Vessel forces, Huanglong's identity would be exposed in advance."

"Zhangzhu spread his hands: 'In fact, Huanglong isn't afraid of exposure either; as long as the Star Core is brought to Mount Luofu and the Jianmu is revived, she can discard her Tingyun disguise at any time. She's accompanied Xing and the others all this way just to enjoy seeing their expressions when faced with danger.'"

Reviving the Jianmu (the mythical tree)

Tingyun's disguise

Recalling the battle against Huanglong, it was probably even more dangerous than the fight against Xingqiri (Sunday)

Huanlong, as an Envoy, yet possesses the means to turn other Envoys into illusory soldiers; if it weren't for Danhen interrupting the transformation, the Immortal Vessel would probably have to let Miss Fu Xuan take the stage as general.

She can even unleash the energy of a Burst Star with her bare hands; based solely on this move, Huanlong should be the strongest Extinction Overlord, right? Zhangzhu scratched his head; besides Huanlong and Huangquan, he really couldn't think of any combat performance more overpowered than those two.
