"General, I..." Jing Yuan raised his hand slightly to stop Yan Qing from continuing to speak. He looked in the distance at the direction where the two Star Core Hunters were going away and chuckled: "The Star Core Hunters have made Luo Fu owe them a small favor. Let them go this time." "..." "Go back to the doctor at Danding Division to treat your wrist. I'll give you a week to reflect on yourself." Jing Yuan turned his head slightly in the direction of Yan Qing, with his usual gentle smile on his face: "After a week, I hope to see a revitalized Xiao Wei." Yan Qing lowered his head slightly, bit his teeth lightly, and nodded vigorously: "Yes! General." "By the way, there's one more thing." "General, do you have any other instructions?" Yan Qing asked hurriedly. "It's not really an order, I'm just telling you a little discovery." Jing Yuan smiled, "There's a new coffee shop opened on Xuanye Avenue in Xingcha Sea. If you have nothing to do, you can go there and sit down." "?" An obvious question mark appeared on Yanqing's head.
He asked doubtfully, "Café? Is there... a suspicious cafe that Yanqing needs to be on guard during this period of time?" "No, don't be alert. The business license of that coffee shop was approved by Yukong and I personally." Jing Yuan shook his head. "Besides, you may not be able to find that magical coffee shop. If you are not lucky enough to find the door of that coffee shop, then just pretend that I never said this." "????" Yanqing had more and more question marks in his head. Jing Yuan didn't seem to be mentally prepared to answer Yan Qing's questions. He spread out his five fingers and looked at the feathers floating in his palm, with an obvious melancholy in his eyes. Before rushing to Liuyundu, when leaving the coffee shop, Jingyuan had already reached a consensus on cooperation on the supply of Yu Duchen and the star obtained from Qianling Yanchen. The store manager did not hide the difference in his treatment between him and Xing at all. He clearly said that this feather and that lotus were exactly the same thing, but Jing Yuan watched helplessly... Xing used the powerful power provided by Qianling Yanchen to condense several similar feathers within a few seconds. "Oh, why am I not a beautiful girl?" Jing Yuan spoke unconsciously with some disappointment. These irrelevant words shocked Yan Qing, who was completely unprepared. It seemed that even the pain of having his swords broken was alleviated a little. Yan Qing hesitated to speak: "General...you..." "Yanqing, let's practice." Jing Yuan said suddenly. Yan Qing was silent for a moment: "...You are joking, right, General?" "I just feel like it's been a while since I last tested your strength. Since you've managed to survive under Blade's hands until now, that means you've made a lot of progress during this time when I wasn't able to test you." Jing Yuan looked at Yan Qing with a smile. "I also heard that you seem to have figured out a sword technique that can control the God? Have you been hiding it all this time? After all, I'm your master. It's okay for you to hide your strength from others, but there shouldn't be any need to hide it from me, right?" "Huh?" Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, then he was horrified, "General! It's unfair! When did I figure out the sword technique that can control the God? How come I don't know it myself?!" "It's okay if you haven't figured it out. I won't have much time to supervise your swordsmanship training from now on. Let's practice to our heart's content in these few minutes." "..." Yan Qing lowered his head and looked at his broken right wrist, a drop of sweat uncontrollably oozing from his forehead. He racked his brains in the depths of his mind, wondering if he had offended the general in some way recently... to the point that the latter had to find an excuse to beat him up like a punching bag. On the other side, in the lobby of Hyperion Cafe.
After Jing Yuan and Xing finished talking about Yu Duchen and left the cafe, the dinner time of several tables of customers gradually came to an end as time passed. The first to leave were the Five Warriors of the Cloud from the past. With such a big thing happening, no one was in the mood to continue with the celebratory dinner, so after hastily filling their stomachs, the five legendary figures from hundreds of years ago, who were in their heyday, walked out of the cafe together after asking Jing Yuan to pay the bill. On the other hand, the dean, Lady Cecilia, who had squeezed out some time from her busy schedule to visit Xilin, stood up with great reluctance as the time for overtime work approached late at night. "Wuwu...If there is anything, you must tell mom! Although mom may not be able to help you, you will always be my daughters!" Cecilia walked towards the door of the hall, looking back every few steps. Finally, after receiving all the promises from Kiana, Silin and Mistellin, she reluctantly returned to her own world bubble. "I know~" Xilin waved her hands helplessly and muttered in a low voice, "I am your daughter..." After Cecilia's figure completely disappeared in the night outside the door, Kiana and Mistelline wiped their cold sweat at the same time. Although they were all grateful for Cecilia's love and care for them, it had to be said that Cecilia's emotions were indeed a little too passionate. Not to mention Kiana, even a fun-loving person like Mistellin was defeated without any resistance under her endless gentle offensive. "Mom...?" Miss Ideal in heaven murmured in a low voice. It is really a word that is both familiar and unfamiliar. As an ideal form that is born with knowledge, she certainly knows the concept and definition of the word "mother", but also because of her status as an ideal form, Mistrine originally thought that she would never have someone she could call "mother" in this lifetime. It was the first time for Mistryn to feel the complete care and concern of another person. After Cecilia left, the magical girl Trilili walked up to Celine and held her hands: "You have to live well in this cafe! If you are bullied, you must tell everyone!" "Who would bully me?" Xilin rolled her eyes and scolded with a smile, "Compared to me, you are a stubborn guy who is more likely to be bullied!" "Then Buluo and I are leaving too! We'll come and play with you tomorrow!" "Hurry up and help the dean. You don't have to worry about my affairs." Xilin waved her hand casually and hesitated for a moment. "If you are really too busy, why don't I go with you today?" "How can that be possible!" Terili's eyes widened. "It's only your first day here, how can you slip away so quickly? Don't worry, we are still here with the dean!" "not to mention……" Suddenly, Terry lowered her voice and leaned close to Xilin's ear, her voice as thin as a mosquito's. "I heard that if you want to cultivate a relationship between lovers, the first period is the most important. If you still have the energy, you should spend more time with the store manager during this period of time." Xilin's pretty face turned red all of a sudden. Chapter 4 Firefly: Why do I suddenly feel a chill down my spine? (k) "Phew, feel good." At Liuyun Ferry, in a ruin with faint electric light, Jing Yuan supported the garrison's formation knife with one hand, and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with the back of his other hand. "You are worthy of being my beloved disciple. Although I haven't tested your strength for a short while, you have already improved to a point that even I find difficult. You really have a promising future." "..." Yan Qing was lying on the ground in a mess, with a trembling finger pointing forward. The man was completely silent.
Jing Yuan looked around and after confirming that no one nearby saw what was happening here, he squatted down, grabbed Yan Qing's ankle, and hung his unconscious body on his shoulder like a sack. He took out his cell phone and briefly informed the Dihengsi and Tianbosi of the situation here, then he walked towards the dock with a sigh and commanded a star raft to sail in the direction of the Shen Ce Mansion. Although his mood was more or less relieved after beating Yan Qing like a punching bag, as a general of Luofu, after the catastrophe of Jianmu's revival was over, he had more things to worry about. The matter of the coffee shop, the matter of Yu Duchen, the matter of the "Five Heroes on the Cloud" from the past, the matter of the evil spirit body that might be resolved... or at least delayed, the matter of Jingliu who suddenly returned to Luofu, and even the matter of how Jianmu was revived, and so on and so forth... Since the Yinyue Rebellion more than 700 years ago, this was probably the first time that so many things had been weighing on his head at the same time, which made people like Jing Yuan feel an indescribable tiredness. But having said that, he felt a little relieved for the first time in a long time. Although it was not shown on the surface, after seeing the "past" again, which had not yet undergone drastic changes and was full of vigor and vitality, Jing Yuan's mentality seemed to have become a little younger. "I hope that the 'Five Heroes on the Cloud' won't make the same mistake we did..." With some melancholy sighs, it dissipated like smoke under the dark night sky. Hyperion Café, lobby. After the train crew members and Bronya and Dr. Tesla from 2017 left the cafe, there were only a few visitors left in the entire hall. The Five Heroes of the Cloud from Luofu had left, leaving only Jingliu who was still sitting at a table that had not been cleaned yet, in a daze. She was blindfolded and curled up in the sofa chair of the cafe, holding a small white porcelain cup in her hand. The dim light made her slightly rosy face even more rosy. Bai Lu skipped away after eating and drinking her fill. Before leaving, she enjoyed a sumptuous dinner without spending a penny, and she proudly gave the store clerks the right to see her for free. Seeing the petite Bai Lu's heroic and proud look, the two Ritas present almost fell into the devil's trap on the spot. Mei, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden, silently cleaned up the leftovers on the table with her other "self" who had become a shop assistant. The sound of dishes and chopsticks clacking echoed in the hall which had obviously become empty. The girl Himeko was lying on the table unconsciously, drooling at the corners of her mouth. Her lips and tongue seemed to be whispering some unwritten words. The Bronya of 2013 stood silently behind the girl Himeko, carefully took the beer bottle from her hand like a dedicated babysitter, and diligently wiped the saliva leaking from the corners of her mouth. A faint hint of confusion flashed across her emotionless gray eyes. How could someone in this world get so drunk after drinking beer? Bronya, who had only been able to drink vodka since she was a child, thought to herself in confusion. After her self from four years later sorted out the information about Seele and part of the future they had encountered into data and sent it to her notebook, Bronya had already made a rough plan for future actions - Anti-Entropy and her adopted mother were probably completely unreliable. Although St. Freya's College was a good place to go, and the partners and the dean there were all good people, but for Bronya, who knew Seele's approximate whereabouts, she had lost the patience to stay in the Eigenworld and look for opportunities to go to the Quantum Sea. Since this cafe is linked to the "Hyperion" held by the girl Himeko who is traveling in the Quantum Sea, for Bronya, directly riding the Hyperion with Himeko to explore the Quantum Sea is obviously an effective way to search for Seele's trace at a faster speed. Therefore, in order to get the girl Himeko to agree to stay by her side as a companion, Bronya must find ways to show her value to the girl Himeko. While Bronya in 2013 was carrying out her goals with practical actions, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, who was cleaning up the cafe by herself, was also thinking quietly. What happened today can be said to be quite strange for the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, but no matter what, the result is always good. Although the characteristics of this cafe determine that visitors from different worlds cannot directly interfere with each other's world, these Valkyries from different time and space have exactly the same goals and are willing to lend a helping hand to each other's world. Under such circumstances, a person like Misterine, who came from a world where the collapse had been resolved, appeared in this cafe. Although the way the other party broke into the cafe was more or less suicidal, the existence of Mistletoe itself has already shown them the solution to the collapse. What's more, the store manager also provided them with another option on this basis. ——Bring Kiana from her side to the front of the "Cocoon" and let her directly take over the power of the end and become the Herrscher of the End. Although it sounds like a fantastic idea, Mei, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden, does not doubt that the manager can really do it. First of all, Kiana, who became the Herrscher of the End, had already become a reality at the time when Misterine was there. Secondly, given the strength the store manager had shown them, solving the "cocoon" problem didn't seem to be too difficult. However, due to the limitations of the form of existence itself, when the store manager interferes with the real world that is not the quantum sea, he is quite susceptible to the rules of the world itself and the joint counterattack of the "cocoon". On the other hand, as long as the store manager does not interfere directly with the world, but provides a "channel" for these residents of the real world to solve their own problems, the rules of the world itself will not be able to affect the store manager.
The pioneer lady who could use the Divine Key given by the store manager freely in the real world was irrefutable proof of this. Moreover, even if we don't talk about the quick end, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, has a reason to lure Kiana from her side to the cafe. After all, the soulless body of Teacher Himeko is still lying in a room on the second floor... As she thought about it, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, couldn't help but rub her brows with a headache. To be honest, although she had hung up and beaten up her own Kiana before joining World Serpent, she thought that there was no crack in her relationship with Kiana that was difficult to mend. If she were to talk to her own Kiana face to face, she would have a great chance of persuading Kiana to come to this cafe. ——If this cafe wasn’t opened in this damn paradise full of Riddlers. Should we forcefully abduct Kiana? Herrscher of Lightning Mei thought to herself. Although she trusted the relationship between herself and Kiana, she also knew that even with this relationship, Kiana would probably find it difficult to trust the World Serpent itself. After all, this organization had done too many bad things when it first emerged. Not to mention Kiana, even Herrscher of Lightning Mei herself could not fully trust the World Serpent itself. She had even been thinking about whether she should find an opportunity to take action against the leader of the World Serpent, in case the stubborn icy man started the Stigmata plan described by the store manager as an "abstract batch" at some unknown time. But even if she wanted to bring Kiana back, it would be difficult to do so with her current strength... How about asking the manager of this cafe if he has anything that can instantly control Kiana? Herrscher of Thunder, Raiden Mei was seriously struggling. At the end of 2017, in the salt lake base of Anti-Entropy, Kiana, the Herrscher of the Fire, who was doing a pre-sleep training in the training ground, suddenly sneezed. Without any warning, an indescribable chill ran down her back, like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. With the joint efforts of the two Ritas and the two Raiden Meis, the kitchen and the hall were soon tidy again. After packing up the things on hand, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, had a brief exchange with the store manager and then returned to the hall of the Paradise of the Afterlife with satisfaction. Just as she walked out of the door of the cafe, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, suddenly felt more than a dozen sharp gazes sweeping towards her face. "Why did you come back so late?" A calm voice sounded softly. Looking closely, he saw that most of the heroes were standing in a circle around the gate suspended in the air in different postures. Kevin, who was in the lead, couldn't wait to ask questions after seeing him walk out of the gate. "I should be free to choose where I want to stay. Why? Are you even in charge of this?" The Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, looked back at the heroic leader without hesitation, and said in a cold tone, "By the way, I came to the Paradise of the Past to seek the answers I wanted to know. From this point of view, the manager of that cafe is really much better than you who like to guess riddles all day long." Kevin was silent for a moment and frowned slightly: "…What did he tell you?" "This is not something you should know now." The Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, crossed her arms over her chest and without hesitation retorted with what Kevin had said before. To be honest, in the eyes of Mei Raiden, the Herrscher of Lightning, compared with this paradise full of Riddlers, the cafe connecting different worlds is simply no different from heaven. Even without talking about the magical properties of the cafe, the store manager who is willing to tell her everything has made her feel the long-lost comfort like a spring breeze during the communication process. Speaking human language is a good habit, but unfortunately, in this world, there are always people who cannot even meet this simple requirement. "..." Kevin was choked by the Herrscher of Thunder, Mei Raiden, and was speechless. He was silent for a while, sighed softly through his nose, and shook his head: "...If Alicia from the past appears in that cafe again, please tell us." "..." Hearing the unprecedented earnestness in Kevin's words, the eyes of the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, couldn't help but become a little complicated. Although she was annoyed by the extremely riddle-like speaking style of these heroes, after reading the information left over from the last civilization era in the paradise's database "Dish of Remembrance", the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, finally developed some respect for these heroes who fought against the Honkai to the end. Therefore, in response to Kevin's request, the Herrscher of Thunder, Mei Yi, agreed without much hesitation: "I will." Just as the words fell, the Herrscher of Lightning, Raiden Mei, suddenly felt something strange: "...By the way, where is Alicia?" "She's still mad at everyone." Eden swirled the wine in the goblet, with an intoxicating smile on his face. "Ellie is as cute as ever."
"...She must have been pissed off by what you said." Su shook his head helplessly and turned his face towards Kevin. "Kevin, what are you going to do about this cafe? Do you need Klein to notify you in the real world?" Kevin was silent for a moment and shook his head: "No, it's his own choice not to come to the paradise. So, no matter what happens here, it has nothing to do with him." "So, what if 'us' from the past appeared in this cafe?" Su asked again, "What has happened will happen again. Since Alicia from our time has appeared in this cafe, then there is a high probability that 'us' from the past will also appear in this cafe one day in the future." Chapter 4: Youlan Dai'er: Let's not leave together. I'm afraid the store manager will misunderstand (k) Su's question caused all the heroes present to fall into silence.
