Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"This scheme is way too vicious!"

Yin Lang sat slumped on the cold floor in a W-sit, her gray spiral ponytail drooping, a pair of eyes staring straight and wide.

Yin Lang's whole person exuded a dull, bewildered blankness, dead staring at the suspended light screen before her.

On the light screen was prominently a forged Stellaron Hunter wanted poster, the wanted target column clearly written.

Stellaron Hunter Wanted Poster: Divine Might General Xuan Ge.

Bounty Amount: ∞

But these aren't the most fatal part; the key is the portrait of Xuan Ge on the wanted poster!

The Divine Martial Jade Tablet that should have been worn at the waist had actually been swapped for her, Yin Lang's, Q-version expression pack!

This is a capital crime of desecrating the Divine Might General, violating the Divine Martial taboo!

Just which unscrupulous villain framed and set her up?

She's clearly just a law-abiding hacker who only knows to hole up in a corner playing games every day.

She hasn't done half a bad thing, so how did she end up with this catastrophic disaster!

"Kafka, her like this..... is she really okay?"

Liu Ying with hands behind her back, quietly looked at Kafka leaning against the worn sofa.

The Yin Lang before her was frozen all over, looking like she'd been scared stupid, truly making one worried.

Kafka gave a slight nod, her brows and eyes still bearing that gentle, shallow smile.

Gaze falling on Yin Lang standing dazed in place, tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable determination:

"Welcome to the Stellaron Hunters, little Yin Lang."

"I'm clearly a law-abiding good citizen! Just which villain wants to harm me!"

Yin Lang snapped back to her senses, sprang to her feet with a whoosh, rushed up to Kafka in quick steps, accusing with a face full of grief and indignation, her small hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

Kafka merely kept her smile unchanged, offering no further explanation.

By now, who set the trap no longer matters; Yin Lang simply has no retreat to choose.

Standing at the doorway, tightly embracing the Shili Sword, Ren heard this and instantly cast eyes to nose, nose to heart, remaining silent throughout.

He originally only excels at executing sword and anvil, tempering blades; this hat buckled onto Yin Lang has far too many flaws, no wonder the little miss would guess some of it.

"I..... I'm still young, I don't want to die, you'll protect me right?"

Seeing Kafka silent, Yin Lang's heart gave a thump.

Subconsciously her brain filled in the scene of the Divine Might General enraged, personally hunting her down, her voice even carrying a few notes of a sob.

She hasn't just heard of the Divine Might General's illustrious reputation.

Back when Harmony, the Hunt, and Destruction three great Aeons manifested in the universe, she saw it clearly.

Since then, the Divine Might General not only was fine, but even kicked the Abundance Alliance around like dogs, battle records verifiable....

Kafka carefully sized up the girl before her, gray spiral ponytail playful and lively, figure petite and delicate.

Looks indeed pretty and cute, but such an appearance before Xuan Ge who's seen it all, really doesn't count as outstanding.

She softly soothed: "Rest assured, I can help you teach Divine Might a lesson."

"You?" Yin Lang's face full of disbelief.

She scanned up and down Kafka's gentle appearance, not believing in ten thousand ways that she could oppose that Divine Might General who shakes the universe.

"I am his Fu Fei." Kafka spoke lightly, tone flat yet carrying full confidence.

As soon as the words fell, Yin Lang instantly lightning-speed slid to her knees, hands pressed together raised above her head, a face of devout sincerity bowing to Kafka:

"Fu Fei bless! Begging Fu Fei to cover me!"

In her heart she silently added a line: Bless me to get full constellations in ten pulls, gacha no off-banner!

"Mhm~" Kafka let out a light hum, didn't respond, merely patted the sofa spot beside her.

Signaling Yin Lang to get up and sit down, no need for such a grand ceremony.

"Kafka, you don't plan to return to the Xianzhou?"

Ren finally spoke, low deep voice breaking the room's quiet.

"No, the time left for us is not much, everything prioritizes the Script. As for you, you can go back first."

Kafka's fingertip lightly wound around a strand of hair, tone indifferent, yet eyes hiding a trace of determination toward the situation.

"Mm." Ren briefly acknowledged, no more words.

Liu Ying knew in her heart the important matter Kafka and Ai Li Ou plotted, brows curved full of anticipation, quietly murmuring:

"Mm~ after little Xuan Yao is born, what cute appearance will he be?"

Kafka chuckled lightly, teased: "If you like, later you can also ask the General for one."

"What are you all talking about? Like then tell the General? Can I too?"

Yin Lang just sat down and pricked up her ears, though she didn't understand the ins and outs, she precisely caught the keywords, a face of curiosity looking at the three.

Liu Ying instantly lost for words, cheeks flushing red, looking at Kafka helplessly for rescue.

Kafka silent for a moment, looking at Yin Lang's bewildered little face, could only vaguely say:

"Wait till you grow up then we'll talk."

"Ah? Still need to grow up? How big do I have to grow?"

Yin Lang looked completely baffled; her age was indeed on the young side compared to everyone present.

But everyone possessed the ability to live forever, so by that reckoning she could not really be considered young anymore.

Kafka knew she had not grasped the deeper meaning in those words, so she simply indicated plainly: "Growing to my age is enough."

Although she was not like the Grand Lily Flower, she was also the second woman to make Xuan Ge repeatedly activate auto-aim.

"Then how old are you exactly?"

Yin Lang's eyes lit up, and she pressed the question with eager expectation.

But upon meeting Kafka's suddenly dangerous gaze, she instantly read the room and shut her mouth, daring not to probe a girl's age taboo any further.

She dejectedly fished out her handheld game console, lowered her head to play, and muttered softly:

"Tch~ old..... beautiful woman, what's there to keep secret."

The three words "old woman" were swallowed back down hard by Yin Lang.

Because, the moment the word "old" left her mouth, a chill rose all around her, scaring her into clutching the console tight, never daring to mutter nonsense again.

Spring departs, winter arrives; years flow and turn.

The time flow of the myriad star systems across the universe is inherently vastly different, yet strangely consistent.

But all major top-tier powers have exclusive methods to calibrate time to a unified twenty-four hour standard time, maintaining the basic operation of universal order.

And the appellation "Shenwei Xing Xi", after the Third Abundance War ended, became the universe's default name for wherever the Shen Wu Xian Zhou arrived.

No matter what this star system was called before, or to whom it belonged, once the Shen Wu Xian Zhou stationed there, it would automatically be renamed Shenwei Xing Xi.

This was not the Xian Zhou's coercion by force, but the heartfelt recognition of all beings.

It was likewise the goodwill released by the star system's natives toward the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, and also a political concession.

Shenwei Xing Xi is the best testament to the illustrious reputation of Shenwei General Xuan Ge.

Inside the Xian Zhou Heavenly General Conference Room, all Heavenly Generals had gathered in full, only Shenwei General Xuan Ge was absent.

This meeting was specially arranged by Yuan Shuai Hua; Xuan Ge was not summoned to attend.

The atmosphere in the room was cheerful; on every face hung irrepressible joyous smiles.

Only Fei Xiao hung her head, face full of gloom, utterly out of place with the surrounding festive atmosphere.

Yuan Shuai Hua sat in the main seat, brows relaxed, voice unprecedentedly light and relieved:

"The Xianzhou Alliance has formally entered an era of peace and prosperity; all this is the foundation the Shenwei General laid for the Xianzhou Alliance.

Now there is even more joy upon joy — Yao Guang is already pregnant, our Xian Zhou adds another happy event."

At these words, Fei Xiao's complexion grew even worse, her heart filled with loss and unwillingness.

She had only just taken over the General Position from Yue Yu, yet the Emperor Bow Aeon's assessment had not been fully passed.

She thought her catching-up speed was already fast enough, but never expected Yao Guang to snatch a step ahead and conceive the General's child.

Seeing this, Yue Yu beside her lightly raised a hand to smooth the hair at Fei Xiao's back, persuading gently:

"Fei Xiao, you need not be so anxious; you know Yao Guang's situation best — she has seized every advantage of heaven, earth, and man."

"I know....." Fei Xiao let out a long sigh, the knot in her heart only then dispersing slightly.

She understood that Yao Guang had previously been deeply mired in guilt, unable to extricate herself.

The General's such favoritism was precisely to help Yao Guang walk out of her heart demon, let her completely put down her heart knot.

This favoritism was only natural; no matter how much unwillingness she felt, there was no grounds to quarrel over it.
