At noon, Welt intended to visit the Seat of Divine Foresight to inquire about the situation, and to ask if they needed assistance in sealing the Stellaron.
This was, after all, the main objective of the Express crew's arrival on the Xianzhou, and incidentally, they needed to regroup with Seele and Bronya.
Team Star Rail, March 7th, and Leylah were laughing and playing ahead, while Welt and Dan Heng walked quietly in the rear.
Leaving the floor and arriving at the inn's lobby, an unexpected figure appeared in everyone's view.
"Eh, isn't that Sushang?"
Sharp-eyed March 7th was the first to spot the familiar beautiful silhouette, waving cheerfully to greet her. "Hey, Sushang, how come you're here? Are you here to find us?"
"March, and everyone, we meet again!"
Hearing the voice as melodious and lively as a lark, the brown-haired girl turned around, revealing a smile and responding with a cupped-fist salute that carried quite the air of a Jianghu martial artist.
From this, it was evident that the one controlling the body right now was Li Sushang.
"I have just arrived and have no fixed abode. After speaking with Jing Yuan, he asked me to stay temporarily at this inn."
Even knowing that this Sushang was not the Xianzhou's Cloud Knight Sushang and that her identity was a mystery, Jing Yuan had completely abandoned his wariness toward Li Sushang.
After all, Li Sushang had helped the Xianzhou survive the disaster of the Ambrosial Arbor's resurgence and the calamity of the Lord Ravager. If she were truly someone with malicious intent, she only needed to stand by and watch, and the price the Xianzhou paid in the disaster would have been much more severe.
Given this full trust, as Jingliu's disciple and Jing Yuan's grand-master, she could actually have stayed at the Seat of Divine Foresight.
Previously, Moonscar had been crashing at her best friend Guinaifen's house. Now that her identity was out in the open, it wouldn't be fun to continue mooching off her.
What made Li Sushang feel subtle was that her other self seemed to have truly developed some unusual feelings for Caelus, to the point that she let Jing Yuan arrange for her to stay in the same inn as Caelus.
Incidentally, Jingliu had said she had things to do and left to act alone.
"? Even if you came from the Yaoqing Xianzhou, Sushang, didn't you rent a room? How can you have no fixed abode?"
March 7th tilted her head in confusion.
With brows lowered, Welt was still pondering several confusing points from his review of the events. Hearing the chat between March 7th and Sushang, Old Yang's heart stirred.
Perhaps he could ask Miss Sushang about certain matters; maybe he could get some answers.
But just as Welt turned his head to greet Sushang, his eyes suddenly widened, and he froze on the spot.
Wait!
Something isn't right!
"Mr. Welt, what is it? Why are you looking at me with that kind of expression?"
Li Sushang noticed the peculiarity in Welt's gaze.
"Miss Sushang, your... your outfit..."
Welt took off his glasses, frowning and squinting.
Why did this outfit look so familiar?
His gaze quickly swept up and down the girl's moon-white dress. Frost and snow reflecting cold plum blossoms—the first impression it gave was that of a Shenzhou-style garment.
The cross-shaped sword emblem in the details possessed the solemnity of a knight. It wasn't a coincidence of design similarity; that cross emblem was the symbol of Schicksal. This was Schicksal's Valkyrie battlesuit named Jade Knight Moonscar!
Welt's expression gradually turned into a 'Holy Crap' face.
Hell!
The transmigrators from Earth's parallel world were here all along!
"Is there a problem with my clothes?"
Li Sushang lowered her head in surprise to examine the dress she had just cleaned and changed back into. It wasn't dirty, was it?
The Valkyrie battlesuit that came with the Character Card was very dirt-resistant, but it could still get dirty. After competing in swordsmanship with Jingliu at the Alchemy Commission, Moonscar had changed into a newly bought white dress.
This was also the reason why Welt hadn't noticed anything strange earlier.
Stelle: "Uncle Yang, what's the situation?"
Old Yang opened his mouth. Recalling Sushang's performance during the trip to the Scalegorge Waterscape, his brain became chaotic, and for a moment, he found his processing power somewhat insufficient.
"Sister! Sister! Save me! Sister!"
Just then, a brown-haired girl wearing an apricot-yellow long gown burst through the door, crying with a tragic expression. Behind her followed a purple-haired little dragon girl sipping warm soothing goat milk.
The apricot-gowned girl made such a racket all the way that the passersby in the inn looked bewildered; some were almost about to call the Cloud Knights.
But upon closer inspection, this girl was a Cloud Knight herself!
"T-Two Sushangs!?"
Stelle blinked her eyes.
March 7th was also shocked. "So Sushang is a twin!"
Dan Heng's mind was agile. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Sushang. "No, Uncle Yang's reaction... could it be that this Sushang is..."
A parallel world transmigrator caused by the Stellaron this time!
Caelus smiled without speaking.
"Ah? What's wrong? Is there danger?"
Sushang threw herself into Li Sushang's arms, weeping. Little Pillow hugged Big Pillow, tears streaming down her face. Moonscar took back the body in time, reaching out to press against Little Pillow's forehead to prevent the other's tears from staining the freshly cleaned clothes.
"Boo hoo hoo, Sister, quickly let me take a photo to prove it to my biological mother, otherwise I'll be beaten to death!"
Tears hung on her small face like twisting noodles. Sushang clung to Moonscar as if clutching the last straw before drowning.
"This Sushang... why does she look not very bright?"
Stelle and March 7th whispered muttering to each other.
"It's bad to speak ill of people."
Although March 7th had the same feeling.
"Don't panic. The problem is huge, so panicking is useless. First, tell me what happened?"
Moonscar rubbed Little Pillow's head to soothe her.
"Look at this!"
Sushang took out her Jade Abacus with a mournful face.
Previously, after 'recognizing' Moonscar at the Alchemy Commission, Sushang had been bamboozled by Moonscar into a rush of hot-blooded courage. She had directly written a letter—with a typo rate of over twenty percent—to her mother, questioning why her mother had thrown away her sister!
At the time, due to the encirclement of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus members, the entire Alchemy Commission and the surrounding delves were under communication control, so the message wasn't sent.
When the communication control ended and the signal was restored, the message was automatically sent out, and Sushang's doom was imminent.
The message didn't have many words, but Moonscar could almost see a smiling, 'kind-hearted' lady typing with one hand while clutching a feather duster in the other.
The gist of it was: Mother has already set off for the Luofu with a rolling pin and a feather duster. Just wait to die!
"Just a photo? Easy, easy. Come."
Moonscar called up the Jade Abacus camera, draped one arm around Sushang's neck, made a 'V' sign with her fingers! Click, she took a photo with the teary-eyed Little Pillow.
The content of their exchange confused Old Yang again. Sister?
Are the two Sushangs twins?
Welt wanted to figure out exactly what was going on, so the group found a quiet place in the inn's lobby to sit and chat.
Moonscar sometimes let Li Sushang tell the truth, and sometimes took the stage herself to perform. Since she had come over, she had prepared a cover story.
Actually, there was no need to tell too many lies. In Jarilo-VI, Caelus had already laid the groundwork that the Stellaron was the instigator. When encountering difficult questions, Moonscar simply said she didn't know either.
Old Yang would attribute the problem to the Stellaron on his own.
Compared to Li Sushang and the parallel world travel, Dan Heng's attention was focused more on the current High Elder accompanying Sushang.
"I am Dan Heng. Greetings, Miss Bailu."
"You are Dan Heng? I heard about you splitting the Ancient Sea at the Scalegorge Waterscape. They said you are the reincarnation of that Dan Feng."
Bailu examined Dan Heng with great interest. "Let me take a closer look... Where are your dragon horns?"
"..."
Dan Heng was silent for two seconds, then manifested his Imbibitor Lunae form.
"Ooh, so that's how it is. It seems it's true? Aiya, wait, why is there no tail?"
"Is there a possibility that his tail is a plug-in?"
Stelle shared a Momo Roll, which children love to eat, with Bailu.
"Plug-in?"
Bailu accepted the Momo Roll in confusion and started eating.
"Don't talk nonsense in front of a child, hey!"
March 7th punched the Stellaron spirit on the head.
"If I let you be the High Elder, will you grow a tail?"
Bailu asked curiously.
Dan Heng: "..."
Why are you obsessed with the tail?
"Regarding the issue of the High Elder's succession, I have no intention of getting involved."
"Oh."
Bailu lowered her head and took a bite of the Momo Roll.
If Dan Heng could come back to be the High Elder, she would ask for nothing more. That way, she would be liberated!
She also wanted to go play happily like other children her age, instead of bearing the empty title of High Elder and being restricted by a group of old fogeys.
Fortunately, having followed Sister Sushang to cause a big stir this time and mooched some major merit, the General had a legitimate reason to let her move freely.
"A lot of people are looking our way. Dan Heng, this form is a bit conspicuous."
March 7th felt the gazes frequently cast their way within the inn.
"Indeed."
Caelus nodded, then proposed, "How about we give Dan Heng's form a more low-key name?"
"No, what does this have to do with a name?" March 7th was a bit confused.
"The name reflects the person, after all."
"Is that idiom used like that? Then what name should we give?"
"Dan Dabao." Caelus held up one finger.
"That's too tacky!" March 7th couldn't help but complain.
"You don't understand this. The High Elder is beloved by creation and spiritual energy; he is a big treasure. Ordinary people with shallow knowledge definitely cannot recognize the true meaning of this name," Caelus said matter-of-factly.
"Oh, i-is that so? Sounds like it has some logic."
March 7th looked thoughtful.
"Feels inferior to Dragon Lord MK2000."
Stelle shook her head, offering her suggestion sincerely.
"You guys, don't change people's names casually."
Dan Heng really couldn't take it anymore. God knows what his name would turn into if he let the two Gray-hairs continue.
On the other side, after a conversation with Li Sushang, Welt finally straightened out the cause and effect, the ins and outs of the matter.
This Li Sushang was undoubtedly a visitor from a parallel world of Earth. Due to the Stellaron's mischief, she had traveled to the Xianzhou and was subsequently mistaken by the locals for the Cloud Knight Sushang.
Out of vigilance and to investigate the bizarre situation, she went with the flow and acknowledged the identity of Cloud Knight Sushang, leading to the subsequent series of developments.
A logical chain that was well-founded and convincing was achieved.
"Aba aba aba..."
Little Pillow tried hard to keep up with the rhythm of their chat, but alas, her brain was truly insufficient. Hearing only a quarter of it, her eyes started spinning in circles, completely unable to figure out the situation.
By the time Little Pillow came to her senses, she was already on the way to the Seat of Divine Foresight.
"Aren't we going with them?"
March 7th asked the two Gray-hairs who were playing Rock-Paper-Scissors in front of her.
"Going to the Seat of Divine Foresight to do serious business is so boring."
Caelus won with Scissors. It was enough for Moonscar to go with Old Yang and Dan Heng to the Seat of Divine Foresight.
"We are going to help others and find joy in it!"
"Help others and find joy?"
March 7th expressed deep skepticism about this. She would thank the heavens if these two didn't dig three feet into the ground of the Luofu looking for treasure chests.
Half a system hour later, at a street corner in Exalting Sanctum.
March 7th stared dumbfounded at a fortune-telling stall surrounded by neon colors and holographic hexagrams. Crooked signboards stood on both sides of the stall.
Left side: [Galaxy Divination, Feng Shui and Marriage all calculated.]
Right side: [Caelus Exhausts Heavenly Secrets, Catching Adulterers and Ghosts, Odd Jobs Agency.]
Various commodities were also laid out in front of the stall.
"Come take a look, come see. Don't miss it when you pass by. Our goods here are top-notch, fair trade for young and old, fake one compensates ten."
Stelle shouted energetically in front of the stall. Caelus, wearing the same sunglasses as the old scammer Herrscher of Sentience, sat on a grandfather chair, with Leylah fanning him.
Caelus peered through his sunglasses at a certain alley entrance.
Deep in the alley, a petite and exquisite beautiful silhouette leaned against the wall.
Pure silver-gray short hair like the galaxy was tied into two single drill rolls hanging behind her. The silver brightness inside and outside the hair strands possessed a gray-gold texture under the dim fluorescent light.
Behind her hood, rabbit ear-like structures swayed and wobbled.
It was precisely Haxxor Bunny, whom Caelus had just released.
