Volume 1: Chapter 523 Please step up your efforts!
"Sister Ji Zi, Uncle Yang—we're back!"
Like a cheerful lark, March 7th hopped and skipped into the observation carriage, its energetic voice breaking the silence of the space.
"You're back just in time."
Himeko gracefully crossed her long, beautiful legs, smiled brightly, and raised the steaming coffee cup in her hand, her red lips slightly parted:
"I just optimized the grind size of the coffee beans and the water temperature control, and tried a new technique. The taste is quite rich and full-bodied."
The red-haired beauty's smile was elegant and charming.
However, when the gaze shifted to the seat opposite her, the tone changed abruptly.
The reliable middle-aged man, Lao Yang, was sitting upright in an extremely strained posture. A trace of unidentified liquid hung from the corner of his mouth, his pupils were unfocused and unfocused, and he seemed to have lost all his bones. He was only able to keep from falling to the floor by tightly gripping his cane.
His lips were still moving slightly, uttering unintelligible murmurs.
As an experienced old masked fool, Qiong activated her lip-reading skill, but Old Yang's lips trembled and the movement was minimal.
He could only see
'I'll form the head...'
Why can birds fly?
'Because...when Himeko's coffee is ready...the birds on the train...in order to escape their predetermined demise...must...take to the skies...'
And so on, intermittently.
"Holy crap?!"
Qiong's eyes widened as he read the classic line, his scalp tingled, and alarm bells rang in his mind.
Old Yang, Old Yang, what's wrong with you, Old Yang!
Cheer up!
Has he reached the point of being delirious and talking nonsense?!
"Huh?!"
March 7th's joyful steps came to an abrupt halt, and Xing, Xi'er, and the others who had just stepped into the carriage behind her were also frozen in place, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Miss Hataku, who had never experienced true hell, blinked her silver-gray eyes blankly and looked around.
What's wrong with everyone?
Something seems off.
It inexplicably gave me the feeling of a hero defeating a monster, returning to the village to rest, only to be confronted by the opening cutscene of the BOSS.
It wasn't just the young people who were stunned.
Even Himeko, who had calmly gotten up and was about to make coffee for everyone, froze after seeing the composition of the returning team, her pretty face showing a slight look of surprise.
The reason was not the little boy with gray hair and golden eyes who looked only three or four years old.
The same move cannot be used twice on the Holy Navigator.
There is no doubt that it was Sora who ate the candy that made her grow bigger and smaller, and it was not his child with anyone else.
The focus is on the graceful figure holding Xiao Xiaoqiong.
Her dark hair was tied into a ponytail, half-up into a low bun, with two strands falling diagonally across her cheeks, cascading down in two long locks, their loose strands framing her delicate features.
A black patent leather jacket, half-draped over her shoulders, hung loosely on her curvaceous figure, revealing a white short-sleeved T-shirt that tightly hugged her fair skin.
A cold, hard metal chain collar clung perfectly to her slender, graceful swan neck.
My gaze drifted down to a pair of light black boots stepping on the polished floor.
Above, there are long, slender legs encased in visually striking diamond-patterned fishnet stockings, as white as jade, their graceful curves slightly widening from bottom to top, supporting the flowing green plaid pleated skirt.
Her style is trendy with a touch of punk, yet still youthful.
It's mainly that face.
"Ms. Ruan Mei...?"
Himeko's red lips parted slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
Ruan Mei's name is known to almost everyone in the Milky Way, and Himeko, as the train's navigator, naturally knows it.
What's this eccentric, weirdo... cough, what's this elusive genius club member doing here?
Still holding the shrunken dome?
This trendy, youthful outfit is quite different from the cool and aloof Ms. Ruan Mei that I remember.
The stars quickly exchanged glances.
"surprise!"
Xing spread her arms wide in an exaggerated gesture, as if displaying a rare treasure:
"Himeko, we've brought Ruan Mei to visit us on the train! Surprised? Unexpected?"
"Hello, Ms. Himeko, excuse me."
Ruan Qiong's voice was like distilled water steeped in ice, clear and calm.
While Sora was controlling Himeko's body to engage in this superficial pleasantry, a silent emergency rescue operation quietly unfolded behind Himeko's back.
On March 7th, she immediately moved closer to Himeko, bouncing around to block her view.
Xing, like the most skilled stalker, darted to the coffee machine, grabbed the pot of coffee with lightning speed, and poured it precisely into a specially made sealed container.
This thing is a strategic weapon!
If you encounter an enemy and need to extract information, just give them two cups of coffee, and they'll be begging for your mercy and confessing!
Time was of the essence, and there wasn't enough time to clean the residue from the inside of the coffee pot.
Xing deftly took out a pot of regular coffee that she always kept in her spatial ring and poured it in.
The group worked together seamlessly, clearly indicating this wasn't their first time doing this.
In the corner, half-dead Old Yang saw this scene, his cloudy pupils seemingly capturing the act of switching the beams and pillars.
He made an unintelligible hoarse sound, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, as if injected with a stimulant; even the fingers gripping his cane tightened slightly.
He came back to life!
"I love the huge windows here; the view is great, and you can see the peaceful starry sky."
Ruan Qiong held Qiong in her arms like a child, standing gracefully in front of the huge viewing window.
"Yes, for those of us who travel among the stars, the tranquil starry sky is especially precious."
Himeko suppressed her doubts and responded with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, she finally got to the point, looking at Ruan Qiong with a probing gaze:
"I wonder if there's anything we can do to help Ms. Ruan Mei on her trip to the Starry Sky Train?"
Based on Ji Zi's understanding of Ruan Mei, this person is definitely someone who only visits when she has a reason.
Moreover, she always felt that there was something inexplicably off about the 'Ruan Mei' in front of her, especially the way she was holding Qiong. It was too natural, so natural that it was a little... eerie?
"Qiong, come down when you're done playing. Don't cause trouble for Ms. Ruan Mei."
It's like an older sister lecturing her naughty younger brother.
"Hahahaha—!"
Her response was a string of laughter that was completely out of character for Ruan Mei, aloof and cold, with a hint of naivety and disdain.
In Ji Zi's suddenly frozen, astonished gaze, the dignified and aloof demeanor on Ms. Ruan Mei's face vanished instantly, like ice and snow melting away, replaced by a very familiar smug smile.
"Looks like my acting skills are pretty good! I even fooled the wise Himeko!"
Qiong's lips twitched slightly.
It was clearly him who acted in it.
"Hehe~"
Xingmei suddenly tightened her arms, her arms and full breasts working together to make the little Qiongzai in her arms breathless.
At the same time, she lowered her head and revealed a dazzling yet dangerous smile on Ruan Mei's stunningly beautiful face:
"Little Qiongzai, you were born to be eaten by your mother!"
She showered Xiaoxiaoqiong's pink and bouncy face with a barrage of kisses.
"!!!"
Himeko froze on the spot, nearly dropping the coffee cup she had just picked up. Her alluring face was filled with bewildered shock, as if asking, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I seeing?"
Nearby, Old Yang, who had just been trying to sit up because he saw his coffee had been switched, saw this horrifying scene, his eyes rolled back, and his head slammed heavily back against the backrest with a thud.
It seems like he... died again?
what's the situation?
Himeko quickly realized what was happening and tentatively asked, "Are you Hoshi?"
"Hmm~"
Hoshima proudly raised her chin and pointed to herself with a thumbs-up: "kono·Hoshima·da!"
"What's going on?"
Old Yang, on his deathbed, was startled awake.
Just as Xingmei and Xing were explaining the whole story to the two of them.
Haitu looked at the little Qiongzai who had broken free from Xingmei's embrace and was running towards them as if fleeing, and couldn't help but complain:
"Knowing you'll be abused, why eat the candy?"
"Ugh……"
Qiong sighed, holding the coffee pot, a sigh that sounded like someone who'd never been before, and said in a childish voice:
"I guess I'm just unlucky."
Last night, Qiong, Xing, and Xingmei deeply practiced the mysteries of their reproductive destiny. The young star core essence, which controlled both bodies, brought Qiong an unprecedented and indescribable wonderful experience.
The two embraced each other, and the specific details...
Here's a hot dog image; those who know, know.
For example, when Star Rider climbs onto the clouds on his body, Star Plum Rider's face will also tremble.
Later, Xingxian suggested that Xingmei try the candy that changes size.
Qiong had no objections. Watching Xingmei transform from a delicate young girl into a mature and voluptuous woman, her waist so soft it could wrap around his neck, and the curve of her chest making him breathless, it felt like he had fallen into a honey pot.
Qiong, caught up in the fun, blindly picked a candy, and the result was quite unexpected—he shrunk into a tiny little guy, while Xing turned into a big sister two heads taller than him.
It's nice to occasionally be a little pony driving a big car; older women are always in his top 3 wish list.
What's more, when Xing's arms were wrapped around him, it was like holding a little kitten, so warm and comforting.
After the battle, Qiong wanted to find candy to restore her body, but she ended up drawing a shrinking candy in the lottery, and the effect has continued until now.
I might as well just give up and wait for the expiration date to pass on its own.
"Oh~ I don't know what happened, but it's definitely unlucky."
Miss Hatbito nodded nonchalantly, then turned her curious gaze to the coffee pot that Qiong was holding:
"Speaking of which, why were you all sneaking around trying to switch Himeko's coffee?"
"Because Himeko's coffee is just too—amazing! Good things should be saved for later and enjoyed slowly!"
"Really? I don't believe it."
Brownie, do you think your teacher would lie to you?
