"Miss Ruan Mei, have some coffee." While Ruan Mei was pondering, Himeko, holding the coffee, had already arrived by her side, smiling as she handed the coffee in her hand to her.
"Thank you." Ruan Mei gave a formulaic thanks, then lifted the coffee and took a light sip.
As the coffee entered her mouth, a flavor of dead cockroach mixed with insecticide and oozing cheese core transmitted through her taste buds into Ruan Mei's mind.
This caused this genius miss to involuntarily furrow her brows, lifting the coffee cup to carefully examine the unidentified liquid in the cup that seemed somewhat different from coffee.
"This cup of coffee... seems somewhat peculiar..."
"Miss Ruan Mei flatters me." Himeko chuckled lightly, entirely taking Ruan Mei's words as praise.
"I am Himeko, the navigator of the Astral Express. The train welcomes every passenger's arrival, Miss Ruan Mei."

Penacony... Family Private Banquet...
In the vast family banquet hall, lights shone brilliantly, with ethereal fairy music.
In the world of dreams, people could easily accomplish many things beyond imagination.
Just like at this moment before their eyes, violin, piano, drum set... a series of instruments were floating in the air, as if manipulated by someone, slowly playing melodious and moving music.
"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, big brother-in-law."
Withdrawing his gaze from the orchestra, our Mr. Yun Fan cast his eyes toward Sunday, who was currently sitting across from him.
Hearing the three words 'big brother-in-law,' our Mr. Sunday naturally gritted his teeth, as the saying goes, for a siscon, having his sister taken away was simply more painful than killing him.
"Yes, we meet again, Mr. Yun Fan."
Sunday said through gritted teeth, his tone full of tit-for-tat intent. And our Mr. Yun Fan seemed completely unable to hear the thorns in the other's words, continuing to speak on his own.
"Hahaha, just call me brother-in-law; no need to be too formal. After all, we can now be considered family."
As Yun Fan said this, he 'affectionately' took Robin's little hand.
Regarding this, this beautiful Halovian girl was quite speechless. After these days of interaction, she had already understood what kind of personality the person before her had.
Rather than saying the other was a deity, it was better to say he was simply an ordinary human, and compared to ordinary humans, his personality was even more wicked.
For example, he often liked to tease people for fun, often liked to playfully harass girls, simply like a good-for-nothing unemployed vagrant.
How could she not understand Yun Fan's intention here? Rather than him affectionately looking at her and expressing his feelings.
It was better to say he just wanted to anger Sunday, to see her own brother in a furious state.
If it were before, Robin would definitely be very angry and sternly stop Yun Fan's such behavior.
But now... humph!
Our Miss Robin also had a temper; she had been sold off just like that by her own brother and the Dreammaster, so cooperating a bit with Yun Fan to anger this elder brother wasn't excessive, right?
Thinking to this point, this beautiful Halovian girl's fair cheeks revealed a sweet smile, then her two hands tightly grasped Yun Fan's palm.
"Mm, brother, you can just call Yun Fan brother-in-law." Robin said this to Sunday, appearing very happy and satisfied.
"Robin..."
Taking in her own sister's appearance entirely, our big brother-in-law Sunday only felt a pain in his heart, a sense of bitterness and sourness surging up.
Just like his most cherished possession being taken away by someone else, that kind of pain and sourness lingered in his heart...
"Hahaha, you two have such a good relationship. Originally, this old man was still worried there might be some grudge between you two, but from the current look, it seems this old man was overthinking."
While Sunday was silently grieving, a Pipixi clansman sitting next to Sunday let out an aged laughter that didn't match his appearance.
Regarding this, Yun Fan didn't say much, merely looking at this short Pipixi before him with a half-smile.
The power of [Order] allowed the Dreammaster to connect all Oak Family lineage members, and the Dreammaster was the ultimate manipulator of these hundreds of thousands of people.
The Oak Family lineage oversaw politics, or we can understand it this way: these over one hundred thousand compatriots of the Oak Family were all high officials in Penacony's politics, which indirectly meant that all of Penacony's politics were ruled by the Dreammaster alone.
"This must be Penacony's Dreammaster, right? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."
Yun Fan very politely greeted the Dreammaster. How to put it... although he wasn't very fond of the Dreammaster Gopher Wood, no matter what, the other was Robin's family.
Moreover, if he guessed correctly, to convince a siscon like Sunday, this Dreammaster must have put in quite some effort.
"Hahaha, this old man cannot bear Mr. Yun Fan's words; Mr. Yun Fan, you truly flatter this old man. This old man is merely an ordinary manager following that great Aeon's footsteps."
"An ordinary manager, huh..." Yun Fan chuckled lightly, not exposing Gopher Wood's words.
That great Aeon? Which great Aeon? Yun Fan, who knew the original plot, naturally knew who the Dreammaster was referring to.
Within [Harmony]...
"Dreammaster, and big brother-in-law, I think you inviting me here this time isn't just for a family banquet."
"Since we are already family, why not open the skylight and speak frankly, put your purposes on the table? I think only this way is more conducive to discussion; what do you think?"
Yun Fan was not that kind of boring politician, nor that kind of fanatic believer follower. Compared to conversations full of scheming and negotiations where everyone hides malice, he preferred directly flipping the table and ruling everything with absolute strength.
As Yun Fan's words fell, at the same time, both the Dreammaster and Sunday fell silent. After a long while, the Dreammaster gave Sunday a look, then spoke.
