Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 17 Aha is back to mock me again.

When asked about the stars, Black Tower smiled.

"She has a good business sense, I quite like that."

Himeko said from the other side, "Did you hear that? Black Tower wants you to stay on the space station."

"Hey, hey, she's not staying on the space station. She'll have to leave once my experiment is over, or once I lose interest in her!"

The Black Tower remains despicable.

She had absolutely no interest in non-experimental personnel.

Himeko took this opportunity to invite the Starry Sky Train.

Yunzhi knew that Xing would definitely agree, because this was the path that Kafka and the others had decided for Xing, and it was also the path that was most suitable for her.

Moreover, even if you want to help the Black Tower, you can simply use the anchor point to return.

This is a really good design.

Yun secretly thanked the past [explorers] for anchoring the boundaries they had left in the myriad worlds.

"Think it over. Let me know when you're ready, and I'll be your test subject."

Yun stretched and turned to leave lazily, just like a cat.

The Immortal Ship Alliance... No, I can't think about it anymore. Let's wait and see. We'll talk about it when we actually run into the Immortal Ship Alliance.

Hoshi and Himeko watched Yun leave.

"Alright, come back and tell me your decision in a little while. Now, go talk to Estella and the others and think it through."

Xing didn't need much time to make a decision, but it was enough for Yunzhi to take a short nap on the sofa in the carriage.

But I didn't sleep for long.

Because a voice suddenly appeared in my ear.

"Oh my, it's been a long time, my lovely little hunter."

A familiar voice, a familiar tone, and an even more familiar way of speaking.

Yun Zhi did not open her eyes, continuing to rest with her eyes closed.

But his mind wasn't idle; ignoring it would be incredibly disrespectful to a star god.

"Lord Changle, it has been a long time since I last sent my greetings."

Although I didn't really want to say hello, since you're here, I'll say hello first.

"Hey, do you remember who talked to you and helped you get through it when you were in that place? Don't be so heartless."

Aha expressed his dissatisfaction with Yunzhi's coldness.

How could you do this to Aha? Aha clearly likes you so much. Before that humorless hunter appeared, Aha wanted you to be his messenger.

Unfortunately, you ran away as soon as the hunting party appeared.

Ah, I'm so embarrassed.

"Thank you for your help, Heavenly Lord. Lan is also grateful."

This is true; after becoming a god, Lan did express her gratitude to Aha for the role he played in this matter.

Otherwise, with Aha's cheeky nature, if he provoked Lan, wouldn't Lan shoot arrows at him?

This is purely out of gratitude from Lan.

Speaking of Aha provoking Lan... it's not surprising, Aha is [pleasure], and there's no star god that he doesn't provoke.

At that time, Lan had just been promoted to Star God. Because he couldn't control his power and was going too fast, he caused a car accident and crashed into Kripper's Star Wall. Grandpa Kripper was so angry that he almost bricked them into the wall.

Although Cripper was very lenient with the newborn Star God, the truth could not be kept secret.

Before long, almost everyone in the Star God circle knew that after the Pioneer's train crashed into Cripper's wall, the Hunting also crashed into it.

Most of the Star Gods just laughed it off; after all, who hasn't done something stupid when they were born?

However, a star god went to great lengths to travel thousands of miles to stand before Lan, just to mock him.

Clearly, this star god is Aha.

The situation was as follows—

Yunzhi and Lan worked hard to adapt to the immense power. At that time, Yunzhi had no intention of leaving Lan.

He had just taken control of his newly acquired weapon and the warhorse named "Fierce" when he heard loud laughter coming from the other side of the universe.

That laughter pierced through the stars.

No joke, it really pierced through the stars. Yun Zhi watched helplessly as an uninhabited star not far from them made a "crackling" sound amidst laughter.

Then, it completely collapsed from the inside out, turning into cosmic dust.

That laughter is awful...

Yun Zhi pressed his temples. The sound made him very uncomfortable, causing him to feel dizzy, nauseous, and unwell. It was as if he had suddenly heard the sound of a steel wool scrubbing against glass.

Seeing that he was in pain, Lan released the power of the Star God to stop the demonic sound from piercing his brain.

The laughter drew closer.

It stopped right in front of me.

Yun looked up.

Then I saw a huge pile of scattered masks.

Perhaps because of the poor lighting in space, he could only vaguely see the figure behind the mask.

"We meet again, Xiao Zhizhi."

Ah said in a rhythmic and melodious voice.

Yun couldn't help but shudder.

Xiao Zhizhi? That's a nickname...

Yun dismounted and bowed to Ahab.

"Chang Le Tian Jun" (Eternal Joy Heavenly Lord).

A polite person shouldn't be bothered... The person on the other end is the joyful Star God, so this kind of thing probably can't restrain him.

Lan knew Huanyu. Although she had only recently become a Star God, she had heard of Huanyu's "glorious deeds," including but not limited to blowing up the [Pioneer] train and injecting the insects with the power of the Star God for her own amusement, etc.

Not knowing what kind of fun this guy was planning, Lan pushed Yunzhi behind her and gripped the longbow.

Aha was hit hard.

"Hey, Xiaozhi, how could you do this?"

Yun Zhi maintained her smile: "Your Majesty has come from afar, may I ask what brings you here?"

"Of course it's because I heard the Hunters ran into a wall as soon as they were born! Hahahaha, even Akivili wasn't that reckless back then! Hahahahahaha..."

He can laugh for ages after saying just one sentence.

With this embarrassing past revealed, Yun Zhi and Lan tacitly shifted their focus.

Lan immediately cleared her mind and drifted off into her own thoughts, while Yun continued to smile patiently, waiting for Aha to finish laughing.

Ah Ha laughed, and the sky darkened.

But he collected them very quickly.

Next, he continued to watch this unprecedented duo with great interest:

"I've never heard of a messenger following a star god before... Little Zhizhi, would you like to become my messenger? I can also allow you to stay by my side."

Is it appropriate to poach employees openly and honestly?

Yunzhi expressed his astonishment.

He turned to look at Lan.

Lan didn't look at him; she seemed to be still lost in thought.

But Yunzhi knew he had heard it.

Because the hand on his shoulder applied a bit of pressure.

He patted Lan's arm reassuringly before turning to Aha:

"Thank you for your kindness, Heavenly Lord, but I will always be Lan's deputy general and the hunting envoy."

"Ah~ don't be in such a hurry to refuse."

Aha didn't give up: "The hunter's destiny is revenge, endless revenge. Do you also want to follow him in eternal revenge?"

"You know, he became a Star God, but you... even if you become the Star God's most direct messenger, you're still just a human."

Can a human being really endure this kind of life?

Human beings have an infinite future, and it is simply impossible for them to tolerate being confined to a narrow future.

So come with me, let's have fun, have fun, have fun! The road ahead will never be boring!

"My Lord, I'll say it again: I am Lan's deputy general, and I will never betray Lan."

Yun Zhi leaned closer to Lan, making her stance clear.

Aha was disappointed.

But Aha doesn't want to give up yet.

"Hey, Hunting Ranger, don't you know?"

He drawled out the sound.

"Before you were promoted, you were forced into hibernation by humans for over four hundred years. During that time, your adorable little messenger stayed awake and accompanied you for all four hundred years."

Yun Zhi swore that he saw Lan freeze.

Aha naturally noticed it as well.

He laughed like a madman: "This child has hopelessly accompanied you in the darkness for over four hundred years. Are you still going to keep him by your side, condemning his future to a path of revenge forever?"

Lan didn't speak.

He turned around, his gaze beneath the mask fixed on Yunzhi, as if meticulously tracing his face.

Yunzhidu had originally forgotten about this matter.

Even now, thinking about it makes Yunzhi tremble a little.

No matter how much you try to convince yourself, despair will always be with you at that time.

Lan suddenly pulled him into her arms.

Yun was slightly taken aback.

They have hugged before.

After the war was won, before they went their separate ways to carry out their missions, at the victory celebration... they would all hug each other.

But I always felt that this time was a little different.

Yunzhi didn't want to think about it anymore.

"I will never betray you. I am the messenger of the hunt, and always will be."

Lan raised her hand and stroked his long, blue-green hair, as if she wanted to meld him into her very bones.

They embraced amidst the sea of ​​stars.

Aha: Then I'll leave?
