LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 141: Chapter 136: Are you Crazy?
"Then I'll take my leave." Luocha turned and walked toward his spaceship, waving goodbye to Fu Lin.
"He's going to get beaten up, isn't he? And will they even meet?" Fu Shi asked, slowly walking to Fu Lin's side and watching Luocha's ship disappear into the distance.
"They definitely will. I don't think Luocha is an ordinary merchant. Fate will guide them to meet and intertwine with one another," Fu Lin said, gazing deeply into the vast and boundless space.
---------------------------
"Wow! You're speaking so profoundly~ I can't even understand~ Big brother, you're amazing~" Fu Shi looked at Fu Lin and mocked him with a sarcastic tone.
"Pfft!"
"Ahem! That was great, but don't say it again next time." Fu Lin, unable to hold it together after Fu Shi's exaggerated voice, pinched her cheeks and said.
"Got it, I think it was creepy too." Fu Shi nodded in agreement.
...
Fu Shi wandered leisurely around the space station, humming a tune while watching the busy crowd, "Boom~ Boom~~"
"Dun-dun-dun~ Dun-dun-dun-dun~~"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Wa-oo-wa-oo-wa~~!"
"What on earth are you singing?" Fu Lin covered his ears, looking at Fu Shi with a deadpan expression. Despite listening for a while, he couldn't figure out what she was singing.
"My personal BGM! Doesn't it sound good?" Fu Shi stopped walking and stared at Fu Lin, questioning him.
"...It sounds nice, in a 'completely disregarding others' kind of way." After thinking for a moment, Fu Lin gave her a reasonable evaluation.
"Then let me perform another one. Ahem!" Fu Shi cleared her throat and then started to sing crisply, "Wait-wait-wait~ Woo-woo-woo~!"
"Wait-wait-wait~ Woo-woo-woo~!"
"Please stop! For some reason, it's giving me liver pain." Fu Lin quickly covered her mouth. Hearing that familiar tune, he was suddenly reminded of the grueling mornings spent grinding through Honkai Impact.
Fu Shi widened her eyes and puffed up her cheeks. "Woo-woo-woo~ Hey, why did you interrupt me?"
"Ugh—please don't sing. I'm afraid I'll have a mental breakdown if you continue." Fu Lin looked at the bite mark on his hand, feeling the sting as he spoke.
"I'm the Herrscher of Sentience! You're saying you'll have a mental breakdown? Are you crazy?" Fu Shi spread her hands, staring at Fu Lin in shock.
"...…" Fu Lin sighed. As long as she stopped singing, everything else was negotiable.
Seeing Fu Lin fall silent, Fu Shi squatted on the ground out of boredom, watching passing researchers. She couldn't hold back and asked, "The Astral Express has been gone for a while now. What do you think they're up to?"
"Probably wanted on some planet?" Fu Lin recalled MiHoYo's usual style —wherever the protagonists went, they were bound to get wanted.
"Wanted, huh? That must be fun! How much longer do we have?" Fu Shi's eyes sparkled as she stared at Fu Lin.
"About a day. What's this…?" Fu Lin looked at the countdown on the system screen, realizing that half the time had already passed. His eyes then shifted to the "Launch" button in the lower-left corner, sparking his curiosity.
When Fu Lin pressed the launch button, the kiddie ride appeared before them again, with the unfinished nursery rhyme blaring across the space station.
Seeing this, Fu Shi couldn't wait to hop on and patted the empty seat beside her, urging, "Hurry up!"
"Wait, I need to grab something first." Feeling awkward under the gazes of nearby researchers, Fu Lin jogged off to pick up a baseball bat identical to the one Stelle carries. Covering his face, he sat on the kiddie ride. In the bewildered stares of the researchers, the two disappeared from the space station.
"Hiss! They just vanished?" One of the researchers gasped, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
"As expected of the great Lady Herrscher of Sentience. What incredible methods!" Abraham exclaimed, snapping everyone out of their daze.
Next, the researchers clasped their hands together, murmuring prayers like devout followers, "Hail Lady Herrscher of Sentience."
"May Lady Herrscher of Sentience bless my experiment's success."
"Hail Lady Herrscher of Sentience…"
And thus, the Herrscher of Sentience gained a group of loyal followers—or not!
...
"Why are you holding that baseball bat?" Fu Shi got off the kiddie ride and asked, looking at the bat in Fu Lin's hand.
"For fun." Fu Lin swung the bat, finding it quite comfortable. If he gave it to Kiana, would she stop glaring at him?
"Boring~"
"Hey! Fu Lin~ Where is this place now?" Fu Shi asked as she looked around at the icy landscape and the monsters frozen into sculptures ahead.
"Be careful." Fu Lin pulled out Twilight and speared a charging monster, reminding her.
"Fighting in a snowy wasteland is so uninspiring~ Can anyone even survive in this place?" Fu Shi casually shattered an ice sculpture, watching the snowflakes scatter.
"Isn't there one down below?" Fu Lin passed through the snowstorm and pointed at a city standing tall amidst the vast snowfield.
"Then let's hurry over."
