Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

Page 113

Ling Sha smiled kindly at the people on the Starry Sky Train, saying that since they had all fought in the Pill Cauldron Division before, they were destined to meet.

"If you want to be with me, just say so. No need to beat around the bush."

Upon hearing Ling Sha's invitation, Qiong smiled and went over to take her hand. Ling Sha immediately teleported to Dan Heng's side, glancing at the former Dragon Lord and his kin.

"Has he always been like this?" Ling Sha asked.

"Get used to it."

Danheng nodded. Qiong's personality was definitely the most capable on the train. Whether it was pursuing women or interacting with locals, there was nothing he couldn't do. Sometimes he was also the key to breaking the deadlock. Anyway, Danheng was used to it.

"Oh right, Scott interrupted me earlier, so I haven't introduced my new and old... Si Ding's identity yet. Her name is Ling Sha, and she is a member of the Chiming Clan."

Qiong didn't mind being ignored by Ling Sha, and blamed Scott for interrupting. She reintroduced Ling Sha to everyone and became quiet after being glared at.

"So you're from the Vidyadhara clan, no wonder you're so beautiful."

March 7th nodded knowingly. Most of the Chiming she had met were handsome men and beautiful women. Just look at Danheng beside her; even if he didn't transform into a dragon, he was still a standout in human appearance.

"Like Mr. Danheng, I have traveled far from home. Now that I have returned and seen the old scenery, I can't help but feel a little emotional."

As Ling Sha spoke, she led everyone to the Pill Cauldron Department. It had been mentioned before that the Crafting Department and the Pill Cauldron Department were only separated by a gate, making it very convenient to travel back and forth. They didn't even need to take a star raft. After walking for a short while, they passed through the boundary gate and returned to the Pill Cauldron Department.

"Is Miss Lingsha a native of Luofu, a Vidyadhara?"

Dan Heng asked the question. He asked this because there were also people of the Chiming Clan on other immortal ships. He thought that Ling Sha was from out of town and had taken over the position of Si Ding, but he did not expect that he was a wanderer returning home.

"As early as thirty years ago, my teacher, the head of the Luofu Dan Ding Division, had already sensed the undercurrents surging here and was determined to address the root cause."

"Unfortunately, although she was skilled in medicine, she did not understand human nature and had no idea how to remove the malignant tumor hidden deep within the Dan Ding Division. In the end, my mentor was framed and exiled to the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship. I was also implicated and had to leave Luofu."

Ling Sha recounted her experience with her mentor, which was somewhat similar to Dan Heng's. Both were banished from the Immortal Ship. The difference was that Jing Yuan found Dan Heng a train, a much better place to go. Even now, Dan Heng feels that Jing Yuan understands him too well; being exiled to the train is almost like a reward.

“I understand. It must have been done by that wicked woman, the former Si Ding. She drove away all of you good people so she could take over and do her own evil deeds.”

Although San Yueqi and Ling Sha hadn't known each other for long, he was indignant upon hearing about her experiences, especially since San Yueqi had fought against the villains of the Medicine King's secret teachings and had personally witnessed how that wicked woman persecuted the people of the Immortal Boat.

Based on the timeline, there must have been only one Si Ding in the past thirty years, and that must have been Dan Shu, that super villain. As San Yueqi spoke, he looked at Qiong, wanting to see what this undercover agent had to say.

"That's right, that despicable woman. I'll teach her a lesson next time I see her."

With a serious expression, Qiong raised his hand and put his arm around Sanyueqi, and together they started talking bad about Danshu. Lingsha looked at him with a strange gaze. This guy had clearly taken so many valuable things from Danshu, and his ability to turn his back on people was quite impressive.

"The former Si Ding was blind. How did he manage to rise to the position of Si Ding on his own? His shrewdness and resourcefulness were his own qualities, but of course, he also needed external help. Don't you agree, Mr. Dan Heng?"

Ling Sha smiled and looked at Dan Heng, while Dan Heng remained calm. Ling Sha's words actually meant that she had already sensed the control that the local Chiming tribe in Luofu had over her. The Chiming tribe and Dan Ding Si were neighbors, and both were dissatisfied with the current situation in Luofu. It would be strange if these two didn't collude.

"For a long time, the Luofu Chiming Clan and the Dan Ding Division have had intricate cooperation. If Miss Ling Sha cannot distance herself from this, it will be very difficult to change the situation of the Dan Ding Division."

Dan Heng spoke up. As a former Dragon Lord, he still had some memories of the Pill Refining Department. The reason why he and Ying Xing secretly practiced resurrection techniques in the Pill Refining Department was not because they wanted to cheat their good neighbor, but because there were like-minded people among the neighbors. The Pill Refining Department had never been a good thing, but these people were good at refining pills, and Jing Yuan needed them.

"Ling Sha, did Chi Ming bully you?"

Qiong didn't care about those complicated matters; he simply asked Ling Sha this question. This simple question touched the heart of this Lady Si Ding. Having been through so much deceit and treachery, she was truly shaken by such simple and direct concern. However, she still shook her head at Qiong, indicating that he didn't need to worry about her.

Chapter 289 My Jealous Expression

"Sister Lingsha, you're finally back! I've been waiting for so long!"

Yun Li's voice suddenly appeared. Because Qiong had been beaten by her before, he was very familiar with the child's voice. Everyone turned to look at where Yun Li was. She walked without making a sound, which was a characteristic of her being barefoot.

"Yun Li, why aren't you staying by your grandfather's side? Why are you wandering around the Pill Refining Department?"

Ling Sha's expression softened upon seeing Yun Li, clearly indicating that the two were old acquaintances and looked like older and younger sisters.

"Perfect timing! Let me take this opportunity to introduce you to..."

Ling Sha was about to introduce Yun Li to everyone on the Starry Sky Train when she saw that Yun Li's gaze had already met Qiong's. The two had different expressions, and it was clear that they weren't on good terms.

"What a small world!"

Yun Li put her hands on her hips and spoke in an adult tone. Heaven knows how old she really is, but Qiong certainly didn't think of her as an adult.

"How come I keep running into you, little Ling Sha? You're finally back! Your voice is so sweet. You didn't say that when you were beating me up."

Qiong pointed at Yun Li with a sarcastic remark. Hearing this, Yun Li's face turned red with anger. She immediately drew a giant sword that was much taller than herself and was ready to fight Qiong to the death.

"You scoundrel, I'm going to melt you down!"

Before Yun Li could strike the sky, Ling Sha grabbed her around the waist and lifted her up, sword and all. This demonstrated the power of the Chiming Clan; their seemingly slender arms contained the power of a dragon.

"Calm down, Yun Li. So you two know each other."

Ling Sha spoke up to persuade her, while glancing at Qiong. She wasn't surprised at all that this guy could make Yun Li angry; she herself had wanted to beat him up several times.

"This guy is so infuriating. If he were even human, he wouldn't be so inhuman."

Yun Li struggled to say that if Qiong treated her better and spoke nicely every time, she might be able to apologize for her previous impulsiveness. But the two of them argued every time they met, so how could she possibly be nice to him?

"You can't lay a hand on him. He was injured today while protecting the immortal ship. If you're going to fight, you have to wait until he's healed."

Ling Sha continued to persuade him. Normally, she would let Yun Li do as he pleased, but after hearing about the previous commotion, Ling Sha was quite worried about Qiong's health and couldn't just watch him spar with Yun Li.

"Injured? He was the one who repelled Bu Liren from Xingchahai before?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Li put down her greatsword and asked. She had heard about the previous commotion, but unfortunately she wasn't there. Otherwise, she could have wiped out all those Bu Li people.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Ling Sha did not reveal that Fei Xiao was also present. The news still needs to be kept under wraps, and the fewer people who know, the better. Now that Fei Xiao has returned to normal, if anyone has ill intentions, she can still be used as bait.

Although Yun Li has a bad temper, she wouldn't actually lay a hand on an injured person. Besides, Qiong was injured for the sake of the Immortal Ship, so she deserves respect.

"What is your relationship?"

Qiong asked Ling Sha, as they seemed to be working together on the same immortal ship, but Qiong wanted to know more.

"After my mentor and I were exiled to the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship, we received a lot of care from General Huaiyan. At that time, Yun Li was also young, so she often came to the Dan Ding Division to play with me."

Ling Sha said with a smile that she was very good to Yun Li. The child was able to grow up so strong and healthy thanks to the pills she often fed him.

“I told you she’s just a kid. Even after we get married, she’ll still have to call me brother-in-law.”

Qiong decided to show Yunli what the cruelty of the adult world was like. Her beloved older sister was very beautiful, but she would soon no longer be hers.

"What, what marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Li looked at Ling Sha in shock. Her mind was a little blank. How many days had Ling Sha been in Luofu? How many days had Qiong and the others been on the Immortal Ship? These two people didn't seem like marriage partners at all. Yun Li felt that she probably had to sleep for many years before this kind of thing could happen.

“Your sister Ling Sha has already agreed to marry me, you silly boy.”

Qiong grinned smugly, his eyes and expression practically begging to be punched. Not to mention Yun Li, even San Yueqi couldn't help but want to beat him up.

"This is real?"

Yun Li ignored Qiong's nonsense and looked at Ling Sha to seek the truth. She was right there; there was no way she could be fooled by Qiong.

"Well, I guess it's true."

Ling Sha smiled sheepishly, but still nodded in acknowledgment. She could have pulled her back a little before, but Yun Li was the younger sister Ling Sha had watched grow up, so adults had to set an example. If Qiong said that she didn't keep her word and did something like breaking her promise, then she wouldn't be worthy of being an older sister.

"No, Sister Lingsha, please wake up! This man is not worthy of you at all. Do you know how bad he is?"

Yun Li grabbed Ling Sha's shoulders and shook her violently. She felt that her older sister must have been bewitched by bad people, otherwise how could she have agreed to marry Qiong, this big bad guy, in such a short time?

“I know better than you how shameless and lecherous he is, but it’s not appropriate to take back what you’ve said.”

Ling Sha said helplessly, how could she have imagined that her slip of the tongue would lead to this? If she had known, she should have made an even more impossible promise. But no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't make a medicine for regret.

"why is it like this..."

Upon hearing Ling Sha's words, Yun Li knew that the situation was beyond repair. Ling Sha's most frequent saying was that one must keep one's word, otherwise one would be letting down one's mentor's earnest teachings. Yun Li knelt on the ground with lifeless eyes. The thought of possibly having to call Qiong her brother-in-law in the future made her feel itchy all over. She looked up and glared at Qiong through gritted teeth.

Generally speaking, one should stop at this point. They've already gained an advantage, and Yun Li has been hurt. But Qiong mouthed "Awoo!" on the spot, then hopped forward three meters and pounced down in front of the kneeling Yun Li, tilting his head at a 45-degree angle and revealing a wicked smile.

"I've always wanted to see that expression on your face, that jealous look on your face, hahahahaha!"

Qiong's distorted expression and words made everyone except Yun Li laugh. Although they knew it wasn't appropriate to laugh at this moment, Qiong's sudden performance really tickled their funny bone. Anyone who couldn't laugh at this scene would be diagnosed with depression.

"Alright, stop teasing Yun Li for my sake."

After laughing while clutching her stomach, Ling Sha said to Qiong, then went over and pulled him up from the ground. After acknowledging their relationship, she felt relieved, at least she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. She would just take things one step at a time and see what the future held.

Chapter 290 A Man Should Have It All

Of course, Qiong had to give face to his new wife. Although their relationship wasn't that close yet, it could be cultivated. He had inquired beforehand and found out that the Immortal Ship's martial arts ceremony wouldn't start for another few weeks. During this time, he could stay on the Immortal Ship, which was a good thing.

Ling Sha invited Qiong and her group to have tea in the courtyard of the Dan Ding Si. Yun Li still looked sullen, but when San Yueqi shared some Qiong Shi bird skewers and milk tea, a smile appeared on Yun Li's face.

"Excuse me, I have some work to attend to."

After chatting with everyone for a bit, Ling Sha headed towards the place where she had previously refined pills. As the head of the alchemy department, her work was always busy, and she had very little time to sit down and have a cup of tea.

"Qiong, come here, let me see how your injuries are."

Before leaving, Ling Sha made sure to say goodbye to Qiong. She had been quite worried about Qiong's injury, especially Fei Xiao's illness flared up. However, the news was well protected, and she wasn't the one who provided the treatment. If Qiong hadn't regained her freedom, she might have had to wait a long time to hear the news.

"I'm coming."

Qiong happily followed Ling Sha into the alchemy room, while the rest of the people stayed behind to chat.

"Liu Ying, go ahead and beat him up! Look at how annoying he is! You're the official wife now."

On March 7th, she felt indignant for Liu Ying because she noticed that Liu Ying seemed a bit down. She couldn't accept having such a cute and pretty girl by her side and instead went to flirt with other people. She was truly impressed by Qiong's shamelessness.

"How could I bear to hit A-Qiong? If he likes women, let him be. I wish he could always be happy. It's just a pity that there are always some bad people who have designs on him."

Liu Ying smiled at March 7, her tone devoid of anger or jealousy. Only then did March 7 realize that Liu Ying wasn't jealous, but simply unhappy because Qiong was injured.

"She's such a pitiful girl."

March 7th couldn't help but hug Liuying and snuggle up to her. Little March felt that if she had such a good girlfriend, she would have cherished her like a treasure long ago. She wouldn't be interested in other women. But as she thought, what would she do if Qiong was really devoted to her? It didn't seem right if he didn't marry her in the future.

Qiong followed Ling Sha into the alchemy room. As soon as he closed the door, he hugged Ling Sha. Ling Sha had her back to him and seemed unaware. He rested his chin on Ling Sha's shoulder and took a deep breath near her pointed ear.

"Darling, you smell so good."

Qiong savored the fragrance emanating from Ling Sha with satisfaction. The feeling of inhaling it up close was completely different from smelling it from afar. As expected of a woman who frequently dealt with pills, the fragrance of pills on her body was no less than that of Dan Shu, and it also had the scent of incense. She was simply a natural-born fragrant beauty.

"Take off your clothes, let me take a look at your wound."

Ling Sha did not reject such contact. She had already verbally agreed to marry Qiong, and she was willing to agree to anything that was not too offensive to her. In addition, she also had some questions to ask.

Qiong obediently took off his clothes, and Ling Sha untied the bandages on his body to check the wound. When she saw the wound that was almost healed, she frowned deeply because it was not a sword wound, but a bite wound. Judging from the depth, it seemed that a piece of flesh had been bitten off. Just looking at it made her feel a little heartache. It looked like it had been bitten by Bu Liren.

"How is Lord Feixiao? What exactly happened to you?"

Ling Sha took out the medicinal powder she had ground herself and poured it on Qiong's shoulder, gently massaging it with her fingers. The powder, which had a very good pain-relieving effect, made the wound completely pain-free, and felt warm and comfortable.

"Her lunar mania has flared up," Qiong said truthfully.

"She really had an attack? Who stopped her from going berserk? Was it Generals Jingyuan and Huaiyan working together?"

Ling Sha asked in surprise. It wasn't that she was out of the loop, but if Fei Xiao really had a fit, how could the Immortal Ship be so calm? The entire Tianbo Bureau would probably have to be dismantled. The only thing she could think of was that Fei Xiao was stopped as soon as he went berserk, and only the two generals could have done that.

"I."

"Just kidding."

Ling Sha slapped Qiong's shoulder in an annoyance. It didn't hurt, but she was annoyed that he was joking at a time like this.

"It really is me. Your future husband is quite extraordinary."

Qiong repeated it, and then told Ling Sha about her different constitution. Since she was going to be his wife, there was nothing he couldn't tell her.

Ling Sha listened patiently for a while before looking at Qiong in surprise. On the one hand, it was because his flesh and blood could suppress Yue Kuang's symptoms, and on the other hand, it was because he had mentioned such an important matter, which meant he truly considered her his wife.

"I didn't expect that General Feixiao's antidote would be on you. This is a good thing, isn't it?"

Ling Sha said somewhat uncertainly, but she was certain that Qiong was someone who would treat Fei Xiao unconditionally well. Just the fact that they were brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law meant that he wouldn't ignore her. Moreover, he had risked his life to save Fei Xiao before, otherwise Fei Xiao would be the one who was seriously injured now.

"That's right, Feixiao and I are a match made in heaven, and I'll marry her sooner or later."

Qiong said smugly. Ling Sha closed her eyes and smiled, then used her fully charged hand chop to give Qiong a hard blow to the head, making him scream in pain.

"You're only thinking about Lord Feixiao, what about me? Am I going to have to compete with the General for a man?"

Ling Sha said unhappily. She was gradually accepting her relationship with Qiong. Hearing that he even wanted to marry Fei Xiao, wasn't he treating her like a human being?

"So what? You can each be your own people. Call each other generals outside, and sisters at home. I won't treat you badly."

Qiong said to Ling Sha nonchalantly that he had experienced this kind of thing countless times before, because the women he wanted to marry always had a lot of connections, most commonly superior-subordinate relationships. There was no good way to deal with this; they could only let them handle it themselves.

"What you say is better than what you sing."

Ling Sha turned away from Qiong and focused on organizing the medicinal herbs and the biological tissues she had retrieved earlier, preparing to study them thoroughly.
