Chapter 1479

Ji Zi smiled with relief: "That's right. I should have known you'd say that."

Walter: "Hah... Looks like trying to dissuade you is a waste of effort."

"Mr. Walter, Miss Ji Zi, I will spare no effort to bring about the reunion of the Star Passenger—" Dan Heng said each word with certainty, "And I will not leave a single person behind."

"Hmm, hahahahahahaha..."

"Hmm, hahahahahahahaha~"

In the steaming bathroom, warm white mist slowly rose, blurring the light and the four walls. Star could vaguely be seen soaking in the hot water, humming that familiar tune.

"The refreshing scent lightly brushed the nasal passages, coming from the Seven-Colored Bath Salts of Yunshtiantian Palace." The sound of Bi Ti echoed in the darkness, "What a fulfilling journey! 'Recreation of the World' completed successfully—you've written the perfect ending for the hero."

"Deng deng, deng deng deng deng deng..."

"Deng deng, deng deng deng deng deng deng~"

Star continued singing contentedly.

Bi Ti continued speaking fluently: "The Trailblazer is a journey of continual loss—until you shine forth and turn the tide. Jiemie Dajun? Tumu? Just toys of 'Blazing the Trail.' The Galaxy is already safe, because—"

"—Bi Ti!"

Pam's broadcast voice rang out in the room at this moment: "The route meeting is about to begin! Please proceed to the Viewing Carriage, the next stop of the meeting is destination Pa!"

Star changed her clothes; having just finished her bath, she felt refreshed. Suddenly she noticed a note placed on her desk.

(Huh? What is this? Who left this sticky note?)

(Strange, I feel like...)

Suddenly, a surge of impulse welled up in Star's chest, urging her to read the content of the note...

The note bore familiar handwriting, a rather short sentence:

We want to travel together forever and ever.

—Your companion, San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue.

"..." Star only felt a weight pressing down on herself, "... such a heavy message."

(San Yue... When was this placed here? I didn't hear a single sound... Never mind, I'll go ask her in person.)

—

MYGO.

"Yi Xiu Ni?"

Gao Shan Deng didn't know why Star would find this note heavy; such words were practically daily for them—could it really make others feel heavy?

But upon seeing this sentence, Deng instantly understood San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue's feelings. It was precisely because she cherished Star, Dan Heng, and the others too deeply that she came up with the idea of "Blazing the Trail" for a lifetime, right?

"Forever and ever, traveling together..." A Yin murmured repeatedly, feeling that San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue's words were overly familiar, though before she could ponder further, Zhen Xi's voice exploded in her ear.

"Hey! This is no time for lines, is it? Star's current situation isn't it the Dream of Taiyi? The Dream of Taiyi is still chasing us!"

A Yin then snapped back to reality, as if someone had pulled her out of warm water by the collar. Right, the Dream of Taiyi... How could this scene feel so familiar to her? Clearly, Tumu hasn't even been defeated yet, and already in Bi Ti's mouth it's become a "toy of Blazing the Trail"? How could there be such a good thing?

A Yin instinctively glanced around, and incidentally pinched her own arm hard.

"Ow ow ow..."

The pain felt very real.

"Even if you pinch your arm purple, you won't wake from sleep, because right now you haven't entered a dream at all." Nagasaki Su Shi continued sipping her tea calmly, turning her head to gaze out the window at the flowing carriages and horses, "The Dream of Taiyi should be a power exclusive to God Lord Ri; if we were affected, we'd probably be dreaming of a band touring the world nonstop..."

Last time, Nagasaki Su Shi was the first to wake from the Dream of Taiyi; upon waking, she discovered A Yin next to her laughing in her sleep with a string of silly laughs, and even now she hasn't dared to ask what she dreamed of back then.

"In other words, Star dreams of these things because Chang Ye Yue is meddling?" A Yin scratched her head.

Su Shi nodded: "That line on the note is probably also from her hand? Always traveling... like she dug out San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue's long-buried wish."

Star turned around, suddenly noticing a painting floating in her room.

(Huh? Another painting appeared...)

(But after just a bath, where did all these surprises come from? Or should I go take a closer look...)

Star walked toward the painting, when suddenly a distant male voice sounded beside her ear, both familiar and strange: "Please be quiet, I seem to have found her."

Star dazedly lifted her head, trying to locate the source of the voice: "... Who?"

Star's ears began to resonate with the harmony of music, the edges of the picture frame also seeming to seep out golden threads, one by one drilling into her mind, drawing her to touch the painting before her... She dazedly reached out, but the next second a blinding white light instantly engulfed her, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself no longer on the train.

Before her eyes lay another familiar scene.

"Is this... the 'White Day Dream' Hotel?"

(What on earth is going on?)

Star felt doubtful in her heart, following the corridor ahead, when she reached a corner, she saw Walter, Ji Zi, and others located in the first-floor lobby.

Pam waved at her: "Star Passenger, why did you take so long? Hurry up, hurry up, the route meeting is about to start."

(The route meeting... at Pinokangni?)

"Come over quickly, Star. We need to decide the next destination." Ji Zi greeted her, "You arrived just in time—the meeting has reached a stalemate, no one has decided whether to go to Lushaka Xing or Meilusitan Yin. The vote is two to two, your opinion is crucial."

"Why don't I see San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue?" Star glanced around, realizing only she, Pam, and three others were present—five people total.

"What do you mean?" Dan Heng's face flickered with a hint of confusion.

"The passenger is just talking nonsense again."

"Hahaha, youngsters just love to joke."

Star only felt her companions before her were utterly unfamiliar, she scratched her head, heart full of doubt: "They, what kind of reaction is this..."

"I understand, Star wants to play a game with us, right?" Ji Zi asked with a smile.

Star shook her head: "I don't understand what you're saying..."

"You say you didn't see San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue. Indeed, she might be hiding in some corner of the lobby. The goal of the game is to find her." Ji Zi extended a hand toward her, "As her most important companion, you must be able to do this, right?"
