Inside The Sleepless Earl's private room.

Tingyun gently sipped the tea in her hand.

Its fragrance was refreshing, and the aftertaste lingered.

She couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Ah..."

"I never thought I'd get to taste the richness of this tea again..."

Yukong smiled gently: "It's good to have you back."

Her gaze,

fell on Tingyun's collarbone.

The golden lotus mark was strikingly prominent.

Although in Honkai: Star Rail, they already knew the general story of Tingyun's past and present, the specifics of her physical condition were likely only known to the person herself.

Just as Yukong was about to ask, she heard her in-game self voice the question first.

The two of them immediately stopped drinking their tea.

And began to watch the plot intently!

...

"Your body... the days ahead will be tough, won't they?"

Yukong's face was full of concern.

Tingyun smiled calmly: "I've already walked through the gates of hell once. What more is there to be picky about?"

"It's not all bad. If I were to arm-wrestle Lady Yukong now, I might even win?"

Yukong said softly: "You're still as composed as ever."

"I have a lot to say, but let's save it for the journey. The road back to Luofu is long, and we'll have plenty of time."

"Even if we can't completely eradicate it, the Xianzhou must have a way to alleviate the symptoms..."

...

"Has Tingyun become so powerful now?"

"Judging by this, there must still be some side effects." "Bailu is strong, so there's no need to worry too much."

"She should be able to mitigate the power of the Emanator of Destruction..."

"It seems Lady Yukong has been really busy lately... going to Belobog and then to Penacony..."

"Yukong will be selected as one of the top ten most inspiring figures of the Xianzhou."

...

Tingyun nodded, "I never doubted that, but... since there's no one else around, I'll ask one more question."

"...Do you really have to return to Luofu?"

As soon as these words were spoken!

The barrage of comments went completely blank!

Not just Yukong.

Many players were instantly stunned by this sentence, their brains short-circuiting!

Yukong instinctively asked, "...What? You're not planning to go back?"

Tingyun took a deep breath and spoke solemnly, "Phantylia is ruthless in her methods, yet I, the one who should have been eliminated, survived. Lady Ruan Mei has no ties to Xianzhou, so why would she go out of her way to save me?"

"It seems that, without realizing it, I've become a pawn in someone else's game."

Yukong also came to her senses and said, "...Some within the Alliance think the same. The suspects are currently in Yuque."

...

"Suspects: Referring to Luocha and Jingliu."

"Prisoner Luo: Hahaha! Playing the big game!"

"Wow, it feels like there's a lot of undercurrents in Xianzhou..."

"There's definitely going to be a major upheaval in Xianzhou soon!"

"I'm going to sell all my Xianzhou stocks right now..."

"When Xianzhou triumphs over Destruction, you'll regret it."

...

"Given all this, Tingyun really shouldn't return to Luofu and add more chaos to the situation. Why not go with the flow and make the most of it?"

"Make the most of it... What do you mean?" Yukong asked, puzzled.

"Right now, the mark of Destruction within me is maintaining a delicate balance, and... it was created by Phantylia herself."

Tingyun's expression was grave,

as if she had made up her mind.

She said:

"If possible, I hope Lady Yukong can report this to the General and arrange for me to meet the Marshal—this body of mine might help the Alliance take a step closer to Xianzhou's enemies!"

What was supposed to be a heartfelt reunion between the two...

turned out to be anything but!

Tingyun kept dropping bombshells one after another!

This statement once again set the live chat ablaze!

...

"Huh? Tingyun is going to meet the Marshal too?!"

"Are you also planning to enter the game and even outplay fate?"

"I want to meet the Marshal too, my Marshal, wuwuwu..."

"The plot of Yuque Xianzhou might become a pivotal turning point for the entire universe."

"As a Yuque Xianzhou player, I'm so excited I'm trembling, about to witness history!"

"Tingyun's resolve is fierce, she must seek revenge through The Hunt!"

"Her ambitions are actually quite grand. This time, I've truly come to understand Tingyun. She's not just a simple woman; she's always wanted to avenge the foxians and Xianzhou, but her strength was too limited in the past."

"Resilient and wise... I'm done for, I'm falling for Tingyun more and more!"

...

After a moment of contemplation.

Yukong also spoke up, "Previously, Ruan Mei visited Luofu alone and mentioned your situation, almost at the same time as the message from the Astral Express."

"The Celestial Generals believe that your survival was not part of Phantylia's plan. If used properly, you could be a wildcard, helping the Alliance regain the initiative."

"But to do this, we must keep your resurrection a secret within the Alliance. I really wanted to hear your own thoughts before making any decisions."

"If you want to go home..."

Yukong took a deep breath,

her gaze becoming resolute.

She calmly stated, "Then I will definitely override all objections."

Hearing this.

Tingyun's eyes curved into two little crescents, her joy evident, "Good, Tingyun has saved you the trouble of overriding objections."

"The road ahead is perilous. If you've made up your mind to go, I naturally have no reason to stop you. But... perhaps it's my own selfishness, I still hope to clearly know if your choice comes from your true heart?" Yukong confirmed once more.

"As the saying goes, misfortune can be a blessing in disguise. It was precisely this dream journey that allowed Tingyun to see herself clearly."

"And at this very moment, there is also a piece of evidence that can show Lady Yukong my true heart."

"Please follow me, it should be nearby."

...

"Tingyun really has a keen political sense."

"It's a trade, the act of saving Tingyun has become a two-way action to bring the Erudition and The Hunt factions closer."

"Parents always have a conservative tendency towards their children's adventurous actions."

"Yukong is really great."

"She loves her so much!"

"Luofu is truly full of surprises!"

"Our Luofu is rich in surprises (doge)."

...

Yukong followed Tingyun's gaze forward.

On the deck.

There was another four-star Tingyun standing there, gazing intently.

Enchanted by the scenery below...

"Previously, due to a strange encounter, I shattered into many Tingyuns in my dream. They are all parts of me, focusing on different memories."

"And one of them, she had gone too far at that time, so she couldn't look back at this body until now."

"What is she... doing?" Yukong asked.

"She is indulging in something that I am utterly fascinated by."

"As a sentiment, she is no different from a newborn child. Boarding this ship is merely due to the stirrings of her heart."

...

"A little fox running around, so cute!"

"Wuwuwu, this expression is too cute~"

"This is literally the little Tingyun from Yukong's illustration!"

"Miss Tingyun was such a lively and lovely girl before she became so mature!"

"That is to say, the big Tingyun has lost her innocent part, stripped away and not recovered."

"Tingyun (five years old this year): What are you talking about?"

...

"Lady Yukong, do you remember? Perhaps for you, it was just an ordinary flight. But for a certain child..."

"It was her first encounter with the sky."

Yukong smiled softly: "Of course I remember."

"At that time, you were still at an age where I could hold you in my arms."

"It's not impossible now, you might as well try."

As the two were talking.

The scene flashed!

A memory appeared!

On the deck of the Starskiff, little Tingyun was placed at the bow by Yukong, watching the Starskiffs passing by, showing a look of surprise and excitement!

Her mouth was wide open, almost big enough to fit her own fist, her eyes full of light!

And Yukong behind her, holding her arm, with a loving expression!

The barrage exploded instantly!

...

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!"

"The little Tingyun from Yukong's illustration!"

"Baby, how can you be so cute!"

"So cute! Are you trying to kill me, Honkai: Star Rail!?"

"Yukong's expression here, who understands?!"

"My goodness, this scene is too friendly to my eyes!"

"Please, someone make this into a Jade Abacus wallpaper!"

"Baby, you are a soft and fragrant little cake!"

"Let me marry Yukong, even if I have to raise Tingyun as my daughter, I would be willing!"

"Open the door! Cloud Knights!!"
