She was hoping that Qiongduo would stay at the Black Tower Space Station for a while, because the days when no one was competing with her for treasure chests were just too wonderful!
As we all know, happiness is conserved; when the stars are happy, the smile on March 7th gradually disappears.
We can't let Xing go find the treasure chest alone!
Otherwise, Hachi would unleash its full power, dismantling stall wheels, smashing ceramic cans with baseball bats, dismantling smart trash can parts, stealing deliveries from the Ingenious Bird, and vandalizing public property...
Every day on March 7th, I had to go to the temporary detention center of the Earth Balance Division. I might even have to endure verbal reprimands from the Earth Balance Division officers along with Xing. It was a nightmare!
It would have been better to keep a close eye on the stars from the beginning. Even if it was necessary to destroy something to get the crystal, it could have been settled privately!
Jing Yuan's promise to give Xing Qiong and the other two 30 billion credits to capture the Star Core Hunter Kafka has been credited to their accounts. They will split the credits equally, with each receiving 15 billion.
Although this amount of money may not even be a fraction of the pink-clad rich girl's monthly allowance, it's enough for the two of them to live lavishly for a long time.
[Want to share the same surname as Aesta: Hey, Hagi, your days of recklessly opening treasure chests in Luofu are over. Hand over the crystals!]
[Want to share the same surname as Fu Xuan: If you want it, you'll have to come and get it yourself. You already know that rule.]
[Want to share the same surname as Estelle: Plagiarizing my ID, Q-version Black Tower giving the middle finger JPG]
[Want to share the surname Fu with Fu Xuan: Q-version Xingla's eyelids sticking out her tongue GIF]
Sitting on the winter star raft returning to Yichen Inn, Qiong and Xing chatted on their phones on March 7th.
As for why the Shadow World is used for fast travel, the reason is simple: there is no cell phone signal in the Shadow Kingdom.
Wouldn't it be better to chat and watch videos while leisurely making your way back?
[Playing cards to the death (Note: Little Bluebird): Old Qiong, you're back on the Immortal Ship?]
Seeing the sudden pop-up message, Qiong, who was thinking about what ID to change to, randomly changed it to one.
[I want to slack off: How did you know? Did you calculate it by counting on your fingers? The fortune teller's fingers are so useful, can I borrow them?]
[Playing with cards: Divination involves more than just your fingers. Let me tell you, it's incredibly difficult. It took me several months just to master the basics, and I don't even know if people outside of the Immortal Ship can learn it.]
Seeing Qiong's message, Qingque mistakenly thought he was interested in divination and said a few more words.
[I want to slack off: I smell Versailles, and Xing's sharp eyes (JPG)]
It took me several months to basically master it?
Listen to this, is this even human language?
Although Qiong didn't know exactly how much basic knowledge was required for divination on the Immortal Boat, those who entered the Grand Diviner's Office, except for a very few exceptional individuals who controlled their scores, all spent decades, or even centuries, learning and preparing for the exams before finally succeeding.
[Playing cards recklessly: No, no, it was a slip of the tongue. It took me several years.]
[Playing cards with your life: By the way, Lao Qiong, now that you're back, when are you free?]
Qingque changed the subject.
I want to slack off: I should have all day tomorrow.
[Playing cards like crazy: Really? You promise you won't back out this time?]
Qiong looked at Qingque's message and sent a chibi-style Xing's smirking emoji.
On the night Qiong and Qingque first met, Qingque sent Qiong a message saying that she knew who the mysterious diviner was, based on the summary of the Emperor's Jade Play Method in the ancient book!
Invite Qiong to come out and plan something big together.
Unfortunately, at that time, Qiong was busy managing two planets and controlling Bronya's body to deal with the Star Core Spirit that wanted to get close to her, so she didn't notice the message on her phone.
I didn't see the message until the next morning.
Qiong replied to Qingque, saying that they definitely needed to discuss important matters together!
However, since Qiong needs to exchange money for the "Hunting Mom" plan with Xingxian, she is unsure when she will have time, so she can only postpone this matter for a while.
After capturing Kafka, I intended to go find Little Blue Sparrow, but before I could even move, Hanabi came running up to me.
Guh!
After acting in a play with Hanabi, I hadn't even had a chance to rest when I received the mission to save Tingyun. It was a race against time, and a matter of life and death couldn't be delayed, could it?
Guh!
After returning, I planned to send a message to Qingque, but I ran into Gui Naifen and Jingliu first.
Guh!
This delay caused her to miss Little Sparrow several times.
Qiong felt that he couldn't be blamed for this. It was just that Xiao Qingque was too lazy. If Qingque had any ambition, he would have given him a system task.
Look at him...
Ding!
[Command for Companions: Make the Imperial Jade Great Again!]
[Task Description: Even a lazy bum has dreams deep down. Help Qingque improve the gameplay and rules of the Imperial Jade, promote it throughout the Immortal Ship and even the Milky Way, and create a second Imperial Jade craze.]
[Task Reward: 160 to 800 Crystals depending on the promotion and popularity of the Imperial Jade Token.]
"Huh? 'Duo, Duo Shao'? 160 to 800?"
When Qiong saw the amount of the mission reward, she was a little stunned. She took a deep breath, stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and almost dropped her phone.
What's the situation?
[Don't get excited yet. The full name of this peer task is Long-Term Phased Peer Task. The task settlement cycle is long, and the rewards are distributed in stages.]
The system's voice rang in Qiong's mind.
"Oh, I see."
Qiong pouted, her excited mood instantly calming down, and she returned to her usual relaxed state.
If it's a long-term task, then it's fine.
Wait, that's not right!
That's something too!
[I'm thinking of taking a break: I'm free now, have you eaten? I'll treat you to a meal as an apology for the delay these past few days.]
It's getting late, but the ambition to make Di Yuan Qiongyu great again will never be extinguished, just like a true star!
[Playing cards recklessly: Oh, really? Then I'm going to Zhiwei Shengyuan!]
Qingque didn't stand on ceremony and directly called out names, clearly indicating that he was a seasoned gourmand from Luofu.
Qiong did delay for a while, but strictly speaking, it can't be considered a delay, since Qiong always told her in advance that she had something very important and urgent to do.
With Little Blue Sparrow's lazy attitude, she wouldn't take such a thing to heart; it's just a matter of waiting a few days.
The two also chatted on their phones.
Both Qiong and Qingque are very outgoing and have a great affinity for each other, and their laid-back attitudes make them very compatible. They quickly became familiar with each other, as can be seen from how Qingque addresses Qiong.
At Xingchahai, the crescent moon casts its silvery glow across the night sky, and the starlight is like water.
The celestial vessel Luofu travels through the Milky Way, without fixed stars or satellites; both the sun and the moon are day-night simulation systems.
Only starlight is true starlight.
Qiong and Qingque walked together through the bustling, vibrant streets.
Because of her height, Qingque's steps were inevitably a bit slower than Qiong's.
The girl lagged half a step behind Qiong, taking small bites of the grilled skewers she had just bought from the food stall, and muttering indistinctly:
"Didn't you promise to take me to Zhiwei Shengyuan? Why are you trying to fool me with barbecue skewers at the end?"
Qiong, who was also munching on a skewer of grilled meat, shrugged. "Zhiwei Shengyuan is already booked for three years in advance. What can I do?"
With a slight flick of her wrist, the bamboo skewer traced a graceful arc through the air before landing in the trash can. Qiong narrowed her eyes, staring at Qingque's unremarkable chest, and continued speaking:
"I think that head chef is a bit too strict about the food."
For example, a dish called "Xiangxian Gong" requires a fish that leaps only once every fifty years. Only the three most tender bones from the tail are used. The fish are then simmered in a rich broth made with various herbs, and fresh mutton fat is melted into a paste and slowly fried until the meat and bones are crispy and charred.
To reiterate, Qiong is not a pervert; he just didn't expect Qingque to give him such a surprise after not seeing him for a few days.
Golden light!
There was a golden light on her chest!
However, given the size of the bluebird, is it really necessary to wear it?
"We can only accommodate one table of guests per day, when will we ever get a turn?"
In other words, locals will continue to queue even after three years, while tourists from outside the region can only wait in line and eat there on their next trip.
As the saying goes, one should not be too particular about the fineness of the food or the delicacy of the preparation.
Qingque looked down at her chest and found nothing dirty.
"To paraphrase Chef Gao Tang, since the immortals on the Immortal Boat have lived for a thousand years, they must be so particular about their diet! I think that makes sense."
Qingque tried to throw the bamboo skewer directly into the trash can like Qiong Zhu, but she failed. She could only pout and run over to pick up the bamboo skewer and obediently put it into the trash can.
"Speaking of which, Lao Qiong, after we finish discussing our grand plan, I think you can start a live stream to promote the Imperial Jade. You're practically born to be a live streamer!"
Qingque clapped her hands and chuckled.
"Why do you say that?"
"Oh, don't be modest, this is you, right?"
Qingque took out his jade tablet, projected a short video, and shoved it in front of Qiong.
Video title.
[Shocking! The man who married his sister did this behind her back. Men are speechless, women weep.]
"Look, there are people down there who mistake you for a celestial being, saying you might fall into demonic possession in a few days, and they want to report you to the Ten Kings Bureau."

253
Chapter 253 Hello, is this the Earth Balance Division? I'm reporting someone.
"You're on the charts again?"
Seeing that the full video of her post, "I really want to be Ms. Kagami's dog~!" had been uploaded and that its popularity and ranking were rising at a rocket speed, Sora wasn't too surprised.
The streamers on Xianzhou are still a bit lacking when it comes to creating entertaining content!
Qingque approached Qiong, her small face showing a hint of regret:
"Hey, Old Qiong, a short-lived species marrying a Celestial Ship person won't end well. You don't actually like this girl, do you?"
This video could easily have been titled "Appreciation of Abstract Humanity," but as Qingque gradually became more familiar with Qiong, she wondered if her fellow Daoist who was slacking off was really a madman.
She remained skeptical for the time being.
Speaking of videos, Qingque recalled a video that was trending on the charts a while ago, and the main character was also Qiong.
Qingque covered her mouth with her little hand, peeked her head in front of Qiong, and asked as if she had suddenly become interested:
"Also, didn't you successfully propose to your sister before? Really?"
"The proposal was successful, but later I felt it wasn't worth it, so I took back the precious proposal gift and got into a fight with my 'fiancée.' She told me to wait for the next time, and she would get her revenge."
Qiong spoke casually, his gaze always drawn to the golden light on Qingque's chest.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, even the genius mahjong girl was taken aback, but even with Qingque's small brain, she could understand it.
Do you think it's not worth it?
What does it mean to take back a marriage proposal gift?
What's so precious about a trash can?
"As for your previous question, firstly..."
Qiong pointed to the white-haired beauty in the video with her eyes covered by a black veil: "I think it's a bit disrespectful for girls her age to call her a girl."
