Sun in the Star Iron, my marshal mother

"Yes, I miss you very much~"

"???"

Tingyun could understand the meaning of Lin En's words, but for some reason she felt it was strange no matter how hard she tried, as if it was not a good thing to say.

The fingertips touched the hot, trembling skin, telling Lin En that this fox lady was not as frank and bold as she appeared. Therefore, Lin En did not do anything more, but turned around and asked:

"By the way, how are you feeling? What happened to you outside this time that made you sick after coming back?"

"It's not really considered sick, is it?

I have consulted Master Bailu, but I have been overworked recently. I think I will be fine after a few days of rest."

Tingyun rubbed against Lin En's arms with some dissatisfaction. When his mind regained a little clarity, he loosened the arms around Lin En's neck, but still leaned on him. The two cute fox ears trembled slightly in front of Lin En, making him feel a little itchy.

Hehe, cute fox ears, I really miss ruarua.

Unfortunately, Lynn's hand was still gently placed on Miss Fox's belly as she hugged her from behind, and she was really reluctant to let go.

I can only choose between the cute fox ears and the delicate body of the girl in my arms. I am so conflicted.

But only children make choices, adults want them all!

Thinking of this, Lin En stretched out his sinful tongue and gently licked the fox ears that were swaying in front of his eyes.

"Ah! Xiao En, what are you doing!"

The sudden attack on the fox ears, which are the most sensitive part of a fox person's body, caused Tingyun to scream in surprise.

"Sorry, I can't help myself. It's really hard to resist seeing such cute ears dangling in front of me!"

Feeling embarrassed, Tingyun glanced at Lin En with a little complaint and said coquettishly:

"What do you mean by can't help yourself? At least, you should say it first..."

Chapter 4: Tingyun: Towards the Stars and the Abyss! (k)

"It's been really rough lately."

Tingyun leaned on Lin En's arms and flipped through the projected documents in her hand. She frowned and sighed:

"I and everyone else worked so hard to make a living, but when we came back, a lot of our goods were stolen. This really disturbed me and I couldn't sleep at night. Even my fur has become dull."

As he spoke, Tingyun's fluffy and slender fox tail lightly brushed across the back of Lin En's hand, adding credibility to his words.

"It does feel less furry than before."

Lin En nodded in agreement and continued:

"It just so happens that I was also drafted to handle this matter. Please forward me the detailed coordinates and information of the warehouse where the accident occurred."

"Oh, thank you so much, sir."

Although Tingyun had already known through the people in the merchant group that Lin En came to visit for this matter, he still pretended to be happy at this moment.

"Speaking of which, I found an interesting item during my long journey. I think you will like it, so I will give it to you as a thank you gift today."

The carefully selected gift now became a thank-you gift. The fox girl took out an exquisite crystal from her arms and handed it to Lin En with a bright smile.

Lin En did not refuse Tingyun's gift. After all, she used to travel far and wide and often brought back some rare specialties from other planets. But when he took the crystal, the flickering remaining fire in the crystal told him that this "thank you gift" was extraordinary.

[Strange Item: Fire Embers

The fire was gradually dying down, but the king was nowhere to be seen.

Destruction came from the sky, the flames of civilization flickered and gradually went out, the kings turned into firewood and passed on the fire with their bodies, just to protect the world, but in the end they could not resist the will of entropy and were destroyed by the dark tide.

But in that long darkness, there will be endless flames, which are the echo of civilization's unwillingness and the remaining fire passed down by the kings.

Effect: The remaining flame of inheritance ignites the body. Those who are qualified will be protected by the flame, gain affinity and resistance to fire elements, and permanently increase their maximum health limit.

Those who are not qualified will be burned in the fire until they perish. 】

"What's wrong with that expression? Could it be that this gift doesn't suit the benefactor's taste?"

Under Tingyun's concerned gaze, Lin En slowly shook his head, put away the remaining fire as preciously, and smiled as he shook his head:

"Rather than being unpleasant, it's more like being too expensive."

At this point, Lin En seemed to suddenly realize something, and couldn't wait to hold Tingyun's little hand and said loudly:

"It seems that at this point, I can only pledge my love to you!"

"Please don't joke, my benefactor. I can't bear it."

Still in a leisurely manner, Tingyun let Lin En hold his hands and just chuckled:

"Even if you really want to pledge your love to me, it should be said by me, a young lady."

Damn, this fox is so smart!

At this point, Lin En couldn't tell whether Ting Yun was serious or joking, but the charming fox girl took Lin En's hand and pulled him up, pushing him towards the door half coquettishly and half enjoiningly.

"Well, my benefactor, please go and get busy. Don't waste your time here fooling around with me."

"Okay, okay, I'll head towards the stars and the abyss right away!"

"I feel like I've heard this somewhere before."

Leaning against the door, Tingyun imitated Lin En's words and waved goodbye with a smile:

"Go to the stars and the abyss, my great adventurer. I will be waiting for your victorious return here~"

As he watched Lin En's back disappear from his sight, the gentle smile on Tingyun's face also disappeared, and was replaced by a look of pain that he had endured for a long time.

The fox girl held her forehead with one hand, frowned, and walked towards the bedroom while enduring the increasingly severe headache.

"What's wrong with my body recently? It seems I have to go and bother Lord Bailu again.

I only have about 150 years to live, so I can’t let any more accidents happen.”

..................

But let’s talk about Lin En.

Walking on the flat yet complex path of Jiyufang, Lin En played with the crystal that contained the remaining fire in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Ember...Aha, did you make this thing?"

This strange object full of déjà vu made Lin En instinctively think of Aha. After all, although there were many differences in the details, at first glance it did look very similar to the embers in Dark Souls, and Lin En couldn't help but think about it.

As we all know, after Aha evolved, the air around Lin En could randomly produce white-haired Lolita that only he could see.

It seems that Aha is tired of pretending to be Kokoro, so he changed into a new image today.

She still had white hair and red eyes, but she had changed into a new set of clothes - a dark green long-sleeved plaid shirt on the upper body and a cute pink lantern skirt with emoticon-like hollow patterns on the lower body. Several masks burning with ghostly blue spiritual fire surrounded her side, and she looked like a replica of Qin Xin.

Ah Ha floated beside Lin En and shrugged innocently. A sweaty expression mask was moved in front of Him to express his emotion.

[Aha, what's wrong with you? You have to talk about everything in a roundabout way, right? ??]

Lin En was not annoyed, instead he pointed at Ah Ha who was cosplaying Qin Xin and laughed:

"As expected, there are only zero and countless times of dressing as a woman. Are you addicted to dressing as a woman? You can even change your clothes by yourself."

[What is women's clothing? Aha has always been a cute girl~]

"It's fine to fool your brother, but don't really fool yourself. Besides, even if you are really a woman, you are a BBA. Why do you pretend to be a virgin?"

[A beautiful girl is always seventeen years old. Seventeen years and 1145141919810 months is still seventeen years old! ]

After a heated exchange of words, Ah Ha, who had the upper hand for the time being, did not pursue the victory, but floated over and sat on Lin En's shoulder, swinging his calves with slender curves outlined by white silk while explaining:

[The sea of ​​stars is boundless, so why should we be surprised if a world that is somewhat similar happens to appear?

Any similarity is purely coincidental!

Besides, there aren't enough actors coming from next door, right? 】

"Fuck, what you said makes sense."

As Lin En nodded in agreement, Aha continued to laugh:

[I have also found the other old acquaintances Aha who came to guest star in your memory. Do you want me to introduce them to you? ]

"Let's forget about it now. We're bound to run into each other in the future anyway."

Lin En waved goodbye to Aha's "goodwill" and started working again after arriving at his destination.

The last time I went to work was the day before last. I really want to stay at home and be a parasite forever, eating, drinking and having fun with Xiao Que'er, teasing Xier from time to time who explodes when poked. What a happy life.

Damn it, why do people have to work while they are still alive!

Although he kept complaining in his heart, Lin En was very clear when it came to handling the work.

The warehouse where the goods were stored did not show any signs of having been forcibly broken into, but a large amount of goods had disappeared, which should have been caused by the use of space-related abilities.

Any thief can open a portal, but why do they come here to steal rice? Their thinking is just like Xier's thinking of using the ring to move bricks, which highlights the simplicity.

While Lin En was getting information from other deacons, he expanded his elemental vision to see if he could make any other discoveries.

In the elemental vision, the sky and the earth are gray and white, only the elements scattered on various objects have colors, like silk threads, floating in the air.

Among the most conspicuous green wind element, Lin En noticed a ray of purple light - the color of quantum elements.

But just when Lin En was about to study carefully what this quantum element was, the Command Seal engraved on the back of his right hand suddenly felt hot, causing his face to change instantly.

"Xie'er!"

..................

Flowing cloud crossing.

"Huh, Su Chang was chasing me too closely. Luckily I ran away quickly."

The blue-haired girl patted her chest with lingering fear, her voice containing a hint of relief.

Ever since Lin En deceived Su Chang last time, this foolish girl has been targeting Lin En and Xier. As soon as she receives an eyewitness report from the two, she will rush over in a hurry to avenge her previous humiliation, which has greatly affected Xier's work efficiency.

Although Su Chang is not a very smart person, she is quite stubborn. Once she has made up her mind, she will not let it go. If Xier could not enter invisibility through quantization and even achieve the ability similar to teleportation, she might have been knocked unconscious by the giant summoned by Su Chang.

"Today's KPI is almost completed. Let's take a break first and work hard in the afternoon!"

She randomly found a step to sit down and admire the beautiful blue sky and white clouds. Xier raised her right hand slightly, and a butterfly flashing with light blue quantum light spots appeared out of thin air, folded its gorgeous wings and landed on her raised fingertips.

Xier couldn't tell what these butterflies were, nor did she know what they were used for. They seemed to be everywhere, even when she came to Luofu from Yalilo, she could still see them.

But since this thing was harmless, Xier didn't care too much about it.

Anyway, there were so many things she couldn't figure out in her mind, so what was the harm in adding one more.

As long as I give up thinking, I will be invincible!

While Xier was laughing and teasing these friends who were with her all day long, the originally calm group of butterflies suddenly became agitated, flapping their wings and flying away as if they sensed something, causing Xier to frown in dissatisfaction.

The next second, the space not far away suddenly fluctuated, and a fat, round, black and white mysterious creature fell out of the space tunnel and fell on its buttocks on the ground.

"What a cute little thing!"

Although Xier didn't recognize the Dimension Piggy Bank, for some reason when she saw this magical little animal, she felt an irresistible instinct in her heart to catch the little beast. It was like an undead encountering a Porsche or a Trailblazer encountering a trash can. It was a reaction engraved in her DNA.

The Dimension Piggy Bank didn't care about Xier's approach at all. Instead, it lay on the ground in fear, covering its head, as if it was avoiding something. Mysterious light flickered around it, but the backlash from falling from the space tunnel prevented it from opening the space tunnel to escape for a while.

At this time, the existence that the dimensional piggy bank was avoiding had already torn open the space and emerged, pouncing towards the piggy bank's raised plump butt with a sharp hiss.

"Don't try to fight with me!"

Without hesitation, Xier's figure appeared next to the piggy bank in a flash as dazzling as electric welding, and she swung her sickle fiercely to force the black and white shadow back.

"Zhizhi——!"

The low and hoarse cry sounded like the buzzing of an insect. The black and white figure raised his claws, which had a hideous wound on them, and his pair of compound eyes locked onto Xier who was standing in front of the dimensional piggy bank.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Xier has been fighting and exploring in the Rift for many years, but she has never seen such a twisted creature.

It looked like a giant praying mantis, but not entirely. Its body was extremely twisted and weird, and its limbs, flesh, shell, and claws did not look like something that could grow from a normal creature in nature.

Its entire body is wrapped in a layer of shiny exoskeleton shell, and its black and white tones are somewhat similar to those of a piggy bank. One can even vaguely see some similarities between the two, but it is more hideous and terrifying.

"hiss--!"

There was another sharp scream, and the monster's arthropod wings on its back flapped slightly, and it turned into a black and white stream of light and rushed in front of Xier. Its sharp claws, which were no less powerful than the sickle in Xier's hand, had already fallen.

"Tsk, what a troublesome guy."
