March 7th: "Charge! Don't let her get away!"
Welt: "March, slow down!"
Tingyun: "Ah… Benefactors, don't run so fast. This little lady can't keep up."
After glancing at Zeig, who was standing thoughtfully on the high container, Tingyun chased after the other two.
"Zeig, what are you doing? Hurry up!" March 7th shouted.
"Rush my ass!"
During the chase, March 7th noticed lights continuously flashing from behind.
She immediately whipped her head around to look.
"?"
Tingyun beside her also widened her eyes.
"Holy shit, Zeig, what are you doing?!"
Under everyone's surprised gazes, strange people kept walking out of golden light circles and then running off in various different directions.
"I'm deploying scouts. What if someone wants to harm me?"
"? Who's so bored that they'd specifically target you?"
March 7th pointed at Kafka, who was jogging leisurely ahead, and glared. "You'd be better off having your people intercept that guy. Look how arrogantly she's running—it's like she's taking a stroll. It pisses me off!"
"Ignore her."
"?"
"No, don't tell me you actually got bewitched by her? Didn't you come ahead alone? You didn't even fight. You just watched her run off. Are you slacking here?"
"You actually noticed."
Suddenly, March 7th spotted a familiar figure walking out of a light circle beside Zeig.
"Holy crap, Uncle Yang?!"
"???"
"What do you want?"
Welt, who was running ahead, suddenly turned back. He first glanced at March 7th, then his gaze landed on… another Welt farther behind.
"Uh… Haha, hello. Something urgent came up. I'll take my leave first."
That Welt waved his hand, causing the surrounding space to distort. Large numbers of Titan mechs landed with thuds and charged off in all directions.
It looked like a majestic iron-blooded legion.
"???"
"Are you giving birth to kids here?" March 7th widened her pink-blue eyes.
"Zeig… aren't there a bit too many of these people? Can your mind handle it?"
Welt immediately hit the key point of the problem.
With just a glance, he saw many familiar faces.
The Herrscher of Sentience flying on a sword in the sky.
Fu Hua running in the back wearing a detective outfit.
Clara, the Herrscher of the Void, someone riding a motorcycle…
There was even another version of himself frantically shaking Titan mechs.
Could he really sustain this many reinforcements?
"It's fine. As long as there's no fighting, I can still hold on."
Zeig took out a tablet and connected to the surveillance feeds of those Titan mechs.
"Benefactor, so what exactly are you doing?"
"Just scouting the Xianzhou's situation."
"You can apply to Lady Yukong for monitoring permissions and other data information…"
"No. I want to check it myself."
"Oh dear, everyone from the Express, could you hurry up a bit?"
Kafka, running at the very front, had now turned to face them. She stretched lazily and yawned. "If you keep chatting, I'm really going to run off."
"Aaaaaah… Don't run!" March 7th charged forward recklessly.
"March, be careful!"
Welt hurriedly followed.
At this moment, Tingyun slowed her pace and leaned over to stare at Zeig's tablet.
"Benefactor… are you still distrustful of our Xianzhou?"
"Trust?"
Zeig continued jogging while holding the tablet and turned his head to answer, "Give me a reason to trust."
"..."
"Sigh, it seems your impression of the Xianzhou is very poor."
"But this little lady believes that you will change your view in the future."
Tingyun pulled out a dagger and declared forcefully, "Benefactor, rest assured. If anything really happens, this little lady will definitely protect you all with her life to repay the saving grace."
"Hm?"
Zeig's gaze slowly fell on that dagger.
This thing… why does it look a bit familiar?
Had he seen it in some TV drama?
"What do you use this dagger for? It even has the Big Dipper carved on it? Are you planning to assassinate me?"
"Benefactor, you jest. This is a sharp weapon this little lady uses for self-defense when traveling for business. It's enough to scare ordinary people, but for you…"
"Let me try it."
"?"
By the time Tingyun came back to her senses, the Seven Stars Blade was already in Zeig's hand.
He fiercely poured power into it and then stabbed it into a container beside him!
Clang—!!
As expected, the container was pierced with a deep gash.
Seeing this, Tingyun said heartbrokenly, "Benefactor… Benefactor! Stop! This dagger is very precious. You can't use it so roughly… If it gets dull, it won't be worth anything!"
"Hm… The destructive power is just average, but the material is pretty good… Look, it didn't even dull at all."
Zeig returned the dagger to Tingyun.
"Girls, wouldn't it be better to use some hot weapons for self-defense? What era is this? Still playing Assassin's Creed here."
"Benefactor, you jest. Actually, this dagger was also acquired by this little lady during business dealings in her early years."
"Although its destructive power isn't much, the craftsmanship is complex and the carvings are exquisite. The most valuable part is the gem inlaid on it."
"Roar—!!"
Suddenly, several Fragmentum creatures from the roadside charged toward them.
"Ah, benefactor, be careful!"
There were three humanoid Fragmentum creatures in total.
Zeig kicked one flying with a single leg. That one then collided with another behind it.
The two Fragmentum creatures smashed into each other. Under Zeig's terrifying force—
"Bang—!" They turned into flying ash.
The remaining Fragmentum creature had already rushed up to Tingyun.
"Go on, stab it to death quick!"
"This little lady can't do it!"
Seeing the Fragmentum creature swing its blade, Tingyun swung the dagger with effort and stabbed its body.
A "Puff—!" sound rang out.
It didn't even pierce the skin.
"..."
In the end, Zeig flicked its forehead and sent the monster to the afterlife.
"Sis, I'm just saying, a rocket launcher would be way more useful than this thing."
"Just move your finger. No matter how lame hot weapons are, they're still better than throwing gangster excitement punches here."
"..."
Tingyun pursed her lips and said awkwardly, "Using that kind of thing wouldn't fit the Xianzhou's atmosphere… This little lady is at least a ferry envoy. Maintaining an image that matches the local culture is very important."
"Then look at her."
Zeig reached out and pointed.
Tingyun looked ahead. In the distance, Kafka had already pulled out a handgun.
"Why doesn't she have so many psychological burdens?"
Ahead.
Welt and March 7th had already started fighting Kafka.
The latter was not only using a gun but was even throwing grenades.
"Ratatatatatata—!!"
"Bang—!!"
...
"Oh my, this is getting interesting. You can actually block my bullets~!"
"You two watching the show back there? Hurry up and join in!" March 7th shouted while turning her head.
