These thoughts swirled in his mind until Walter pushed open the door to the VIP room and saw what was inside.
"Hahaha, wives, don't run away!"
Qiong Zhang's raucous, ear-piercing laughter reached Sunday's ears, and his calm expression turned into utter astonishment. Even when he learned that his Primordial Power was no match for the Starry Sky Train phantom, he had never been this surprised. But the scene before him left Sunday completely bewildered.
Qiong was wearing loose beach shorts and a floral shirt printed with tropical fruits. His eyes were covered by a cloth strip, and he was running around in the VIP room. Among the girls he was chasing was Robin.
Estelle, March 7th, and Robin circled around Sora, making noises to prevent him from catching her. Sora was having a great time, waving his hands wildly, his smile clearly showing his bestial nature.
The three women quickly noticed Walter's arrival. As the younger generation, they were all a little embarrassed and quickly huddled together to avoid Qiong's capture. Walter also took off his glasses and wiped them with a cloth. For a middle-aged or elderly person, this scene was something they had never dreamed of. It was the young people who were playing tricks. Who was it that suggested letting Qiong get in the car in the first place?
Qiong was unaware that someone had arrived; he was still focused on finding his wife. Soon, he ran to Sunday's side, making his brother-in-law, who wanted to catch up with his sister, look gloomy.
Qiong reached out and hugged Sunday's waist, which made him very happy. After trying for so long, he finally caught the idiot outside of March 7th. The feeling of this waist was strange. She should be the oldest of the three women.
Sunday's body stiffened instantly, and Wanweik next to him was stunned. He swore he had never seen such a sensational scene before; it was simply too pleasurable.
"Aha, you can't escape now, can you?"
Qiong happily called out the name of the Star God, and then began to grope Sunday's body. However, he did not touch those parts, after all, it was not a time when they were alone, and he had to give his wife some dignity.
"Let me see who's so clumsy that I caught them."
"Feathers? Oh, they're my little bird wife! Quick, give your husband a kiss..."
When Qiong touched the feathers behind his ear, he already knew who he was hugging. Just as he was about to lean in and kiss him, Sunday, unable to bear it any longer, punched him in the face.
Before Qiong knew what was happening, he was sent flying. He scraped the ground for a while before stopping. Sunday had already caught up and started punching and kicking Qiong. His fists rained down on him as he punched him and shouted angrily.
"You damned scoundrel, I'll teach you to hug a robin, to kiss a robin, to call a little bird, stay away from my sister, you scum."
Qiong was stunned by the beating. He thought the robin's personality had changed drastically. When he took off his blindfold, he found that the person who beat him up was Sunday. No wonder he had feathers.
"Oh? Brother-in-law, what brings you here?"
As Qiong dodged Sunday's punches, she asked a question. It has to be said that Sunday's fighting ability is very poor. If it were Robin who made the move, Qiong would have fallen apart by now. It is counterintuitive that Robin is much better at fighting than Sunday.
"Stop hitting me! I'm your brother-in-law! What will happen to your sister if you kill me?"
"We've already kissed, and you can't change that."
Qiong said a few more words to Sunday, but he was finally too exhausted to fight anymore. He sat on the ground, panting, and glared at Qiong.
"Brother, don't be angry. Aqiong went to great lengths to find you."
Robin was very happy to see Sunday. She knelt down beside him, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Brother, your physique is indeed not very good. After all, you are good at literature. If you really fight, you definitely can't beat Qiong. Robin has a very clear understanding of Qiong's physical strength."
"What? You're playing games here just to find me?"
He was so angry on Sunday that he was practically fuming. He rarely spoke loudly to the robin, but at this moment he couldn't help but question him.
“Well, we can’t just go out and look for them on the street, that’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. So Qiong told the family’s hunting dogs to keep an eye on each other and report immediately if anyone becomes unconscious.”
"You know, in this dream-filled world, there are often moments of unconsciousness, and people are used to it. But on the other hand, some people might take advantage of this habit to do something."
"Qiong made all the hunting dogs report their situation at any time, even if they were sleepy or yawned, they had to report immediately. He also promised to give them a hundred times their salary as a reward. This made everyone work with high spirits and greatly reduced the number of cases where they were not in a good mood. Then, from those cases, we screened out everyone they had been in contact with, which is how Uncle Yang found you."
Robin voiced the doubts he had before Sunday. He also wanted to know how Walter had found him. He had initially thought that the disguise had gone wrong, but it turned out that money could make the devil dance. When he looked at Qiong again, Sunday was speechless for a moment. How did this unserious guy come up with so many crazy ideas? It seemed that his loss was not unjustified.

Chapter 412 Leave of Absence and Important Announcements
Dear readers, there was no update yesterday, please allow me to explain.
Actually, my health has been poor since 2015, but it's not a disease, but a chronic illness. It's not life-threatening, but it's very annoying. I went to the hospital dozens of times, but the doctors couldn't find a cure. Later, I saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who said to focus on recuperation. As I was writing, I got over 30. My body deteriorated, and my immunity dropped rapidly after I lost my Yang energy, which led to this situation.
When it comes to recuperation, the worst thing to do is stay up late. As you know, I often write until 3 a.m., which is definitely harmful. My body could handle it before, but it started to decline over time. This is something that no one can avoid. This is where the classic question comes in: is it better to trade money for life or life for money? I think it's better to cherish life. If I were to die suddenly, I wouldn't be able to continue writing my book.
The most annoying thing about this illness is that it distracts you. When you're typing, a sudden pain or itch can completely distract you, and it takes time to refocus. This cycle repeatedly prolongs the typing time.
It's all my fault. If I had only written one book, this wouldn't have happened. But I just couldn't resist starting more. This illness really knows when to strike. I was perfectly fine before I started splitting up the books, and my energy was up to par. But as soon as I started splitting them up, problems arose. I should have known better than to split them up. I really want to slap myself. I was wrong. I'll be honest with myself now.
So after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to change the daily double updates to single updates. Stopping updates is definitely not an option, so I can only work on increasing the word count.
Fortunately, most of the storyline has already caught up with the main game storyline, and only Weng Xing is left, which I will be able to visit soon.
It's not a permanent one-time update; I'll resume once I've recovered. But the doctor said this recovery period is on a monthly basis. I did indeed overindulge and deplete my body before. (:∠)
Wishing all my fellow book lovers good health. Truly, health is the most important thing. Only when you're sick do you realize how capable you were when you were young.
Chapter 413 qunyi 零霓 is the brother-in-law of 霓飨吴雚; my house is quite big.
"Your brother-in-law is something else, old man. If he were the enemy, we'd all be dead by now."
Wanweike, standing to the side, spoke up in surprise. He was also curious about how his ability had been exposed. It turned out that when he was modifying cognition, he could make the other person's consciousness blur for a few seconds, making them feel sleepy. How could a normal person care about such a thing?
"He has already killed me once."
Sunday calmly stated that it was indeed true that God Sunday had died, leaving behind only an ordinary older brother.
"elder brother!"
The robin could no longer hold back and hugged Sunday's neck, crying against him. Sunday regretted it then, thinking that he shouldn't have avoided his sister and made her worry for so long, but in the end, he still couldn't avoid her.
I'm sorry for making you worry.
On Sunday, Qiong hugged and patted the robin on the back. The scene of the siblings reuniting was touching. Qiong also wiped her eyes, still feeling some pain from being hit by her brother-in-law.
"But no matter what, I don't want you to have contact with a fugitive, especially regarding the family..."
On Sunday, after parting ways with Robin, he revealed his reason for avoiding his sister: Pinocchio was still in charge of the family, and what he had done was enough to make old Aude want to kill him, so naturally he didn't want to cause trouble for his sister.
"With Qiong here, no one can do anything."
Robin said with certainty that she had personally witnessed Qiong making old Emperor Otto furious, and that the argument was about Sunday. She meant that her brother-in-law was definitely going to protect him.
The situation was roughly that Qiong was pointing at Old Emperor's nose and saying something incomprehensible, "What are you saying? I am the Son of Harmony, have you seen me by the Star God? Go tell Hipe."
That guy showed absolutely no remorse for taking bribes, as if the Huichangshi was his property all along. Old Emperor Au was certainly upset that his investment had gone down the drain, but he had to admit that Qiong was indeed suitable to be a family head. This guy was ruthless when he got things done, and he would forget about anyone after he had eaten and wiped his mouth. The family was in dire need of such talent.
"That's true. I couldn't protect you, but he did it better than I could."
After a moment of silence on Sunday, she finally sighed and acknowledged that Qiong was capable of protecting the robin, and was willing to entrust her sister to her brother-in-law.
"Because you're always maintaining order, brother-in-law, but rules are meant to be broken, and freedom is the life we should pursue."
Qiong spoke seriously to Sunday, who understood that people who didn't follow the rules lived more freely and were more likely to get what they wanted. He had thought about changing that, but failed.
"Mujiu Linliushi Pipa (Are all famous guests like this?)"
On Sunday, Qiong suddenly asked a question. Just as she was about to tell her brother-in-law that the nameless man was a good person like herself, she saw him turn around and look for Walter.
“Mr. Walter, I would like to learn more about the Nameless Ones’ philosophy,” Sunday said.
"Okay, come with me."
Walter put his glasses back on and left the VIP room with Sunday. He felt that if Qiong continued talking here, Sunday would probably be corrupted. It was rare to find someone willing to discuss pioneering matters, and since Sunday was knowledgeable and thoughtful, Walter was naturally happy to exchange ideas.
Why didn't you include me in the game?
Qiong asked without realizing it, and the women around him all rolled their eyes at him. Only the Robin looked at Qiong with gentle eyes, leaned over and hugged him softly.
"If it weren't for you, even if my brother appeared in front of me, he wouldn't speak to me with his true face."
Robin knew that she was able to meet Sunday so quickly thanks to Sora's help. At this moment, her love for Sora deepened. The man she chose was indeed the best.
Do you think he'll stay at Pinocchio?
Qiong patted the robin on the back, and when she looked up, he looked at her and asked.
"I don't think so. They would definitely leave without a word after finishing their work."
The robin understands Sunday's personality best. No matter how painful the thing he decides to do, he will get through it on his own after suffering for a while, but sometimes he will hurt others in the process.
"Does he have other bases elsewhere?"
"No, our family only deals in dreams. Now the entire Oak family has disappeared, and the former business has naturally been taken over by others."
Robin understood what Qiong meant. He wanted to know what Sunday, the fugitive, would do after leaving Pinocchio. If he didn't have a base, Sunday wouldn't be afraid of starving to death, but he was afraid of being targeted by bad guys.
"So where do you think our brother is going?"
"Let's count to three, two, one, and then say the answer together."
The robin looked at Qiong with gentle eyes. Qiong was quite moved by the robin's unusually playful behavior. Qiong nodded and prepared to tell the robin what was on his mind.
"Three, two, one."
The robin counted down to three, then mouthed the same words as Qiong, and the two of them said in unison the place that was suitable for Sunday.
"Star Train."
"We were thinking the same thing after all."
Robin happily threw herself into Qiong's arms once again. She loved this feeling of perfect understanding, which was even more delightful than mutual affection. Ever since she got together with Qiong, her affection for him had never ceased. Although she was a little embarrassed to admit it, Robin felt that her relationship with Qiong had been reversed. Before, he was the one who desperately tried to get close to her, but now she didn't want to be separated from him for even a moment.

Chapter 414 Illusion: Oh no, I've become a substitute!
Robin indeed considered the Starry Sky Train a good place. First, she knew everyone on the train; they were all kind and helpful people. Second, there was Qiong, her husband, who was also on the train. Taking care of her brother-in-law would be easy and reassuring for him. Moreover, the timing of the Starry Sky Train's return was also very clever, as it happened to coincide with Sunday. Wasn't that fate?
"Will my brother agree?"
Robin thought it was a good place, but he didn't know what Sunday would think. Given his personality of not wanting to cause trouble for others, would he agree, especially to a group of people who had shattered his dreams?
"Of course, if he doesn't agree, we'll tie him up."
Qiong said domineeringly, "The Starry Sky Train isn't a prison. You might be unwilling to get on at first, but you'll get used to it after a few days." Robin seemed to want to say something, but also felt that reasoning was not as good as force. If Sunday was willing to listen to reason, he wouldn't have created that Taiyi Dream.
The VIP room door opened again, but instead of Sunday, it was the exquisitely dressed Tingyun who came. She bowed gently to Qiong and March 7th with a perfectly gentle smile on her face, making them feel as if they had returned to the time when they first met her.
"I have been traveling with you all for many days and have received your kind care. I am very grateful."
Tingyun immediately thanked the two of them, which left Qiong and Sanyueqi somewhat puzzled. It seemed that they hadn't taken special care of Tingyun; they had simply arranged for her to have food and lodging.
"Miss Tingyun, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
March 7th asked curiously. Qiong also looked at Tingyun. She was still so beautiful. Apart from her clothes, she was no different from the beautiful female fox in his memory.
"No, it's just that I feel our parting is like our meeting, and we may not have much time together, so I want to say some things sooner rather than later."
Tingyun smiled and said, and Qiong and Sanyueqi nodded as well. They really should have a good talk with Tingyun. It seems that her process of finding herself is going very smoothly.
"I've heard most of what you all said about your journey on the immortal ship, and I have to admire the exquisite disguise of that illusion. It's just like another version of myself in the world, fooling everyone," Tingyun said.
"Yes, we thought she was switched after we met, but we didn't expect that she was Huanlong when we first met."
March 7th nodded and expressed her thoughts. Before Huanlong was arrested and confessed, she did think so, after all, no one expected that Huanlong was really good at pretending.
"Whenever I think of this, I feel a little lonely, as if a part of my life has been cut off and I am excluded."
Tingyun spoke with a sorrowful tone. Sanyueqi understood that she seemed to care more about the time and experiences she had not been able to gain than about her physical pain. Xiao Sanyue also held Tingyun's hand with heartache, and Qiong did the same.
Feeling the warmth in their hands, Tingyun smiled slightly, as if their relationship had taken a step further.
"I feel a little regretful, but also a little fortunate."
"Why were you treated like that?"
March 7 asked in confusion, not seeing what was so fortunate about it, perhaps referring to surviving such a crisis.
"Because I was on my way back at the time, if I had learned of the changes in Luofu, I probably wouldn't have rushed back. Instead, I would have sought allies to help defend against the enemy. But then..."
Tingyun explained with a smile that even this silly girl, March 7th, could understand what she meant, and she looked on in surprise, covering her mouth.
"So we'll never meet again?"
“Indeed. From your descriptions, the Great Lord of Annihilation is indeed extraordinary. His actions are exactly the same as mine. To say it is a disguise is more like he lived for a few days in my place.”
"I regret missing your journey on the Immortal Ship. However, the subsequent developments, aside from the conspiracy, are exactly the same as if I were present. Tingyun has seen a possibility because of this."
“That illusion took away my life, but I was also able to snatch back some important things from her. I used her as my substitute and took back the fate that belonged to me and all my benefactors.”
Tingyun earnestly explained her thoughts, which neither Qiong nor Sanyueqi had considered. However, upon reflection, they were also pleased with Tingyun's carefree attitude. Under such circumstances, she was still able to use Huanlong to obtain something beneficial to her, which truly showed her to be a shrewd fox-woman.
“I have never met you before, yet you have helped me out of dire straits. How is this situation any different from that time?”
Tingyun's smile deepened. She was referring to when Huanlong replaced her and was rescued by Qiong and the others at the port. Now, with the help of the Starry Sky Train, she could simply take over.
"It's not a reunion, nor a first encounter, but rather that we, Erjiu Shanba, have always been together."
Tingyun solemnly stated what she wanted. Her desire was immense: to completely replace what Huanlong had done and make it her own. Nothing else mattered; what mattered was the place she occupied in the memories of the train crew and others.
"Therefore, I have a favor to ask. While I was traveling in Pinocchio, I met a vendor named Dr. Edward who can create dream bubbles from people's memories. I would like to ask you two benefactors to create dream bubbles from your memories of Huanlong so that I can better experience the situation at that time and complete my memories with you."
Tingyun thought Pinocchio was a wonderful place. With something as magical as Dream Bubble, she could experience Huanlong's actions firsthand without relying on narration. As long as she remembered the details, Huanlong would be her substitute.
