Chapter 328 The Gift of Soaring Through the Sky
"Eve, are we just going to let him go like this?"
On the way, March 7th asked, puzzled.
After resolving the matter in Jinren Alley, the group immediately planned to return to Xingchahai.
Because the funeral rites are about to begin.
Bai Lu was taken away by the Yunqi Army that had just arrived.
My dragon princess keeps running away, it's driving me crazy.
After Walter Young helped complete the planning drawings for Golden Man Alley, he caught up with the main group.
"Of course I won't let him off so easily." Eve already had a plan in mind.
"However, not now."
“There are even bigger guys behind him.”
“But right now our most important task is to attend the funeral service,” Eve said.
“Yes, that’s true.” March 7th nodded.
Speaking of which, Miss Tingyun's last gift hasn't been given yet.
This bow must be for the Sky Pilot.
A short while later, the group arrived at Starship Harbor.
Yu Kong was standing at the port, looking at the starships that had already been loaded.
She turned around and saw that the people on the Starry Sky Train were somewhat surprised. "What brings you all here?"
“We’ve come to deliver a gift to Miss Tingyun,” Xing said.
March 7th, standing to the side, took out the last bow.
The bow shimmered with an eerie light, and the string, though as thin as a thread, exuded resilience.
When Yu Kong saw the bow, a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"This bow, was it a gift Tingyun chose for me? She understands my pain, but I can no longer do anything for her..."
She reached out and gently took the bow, her fingers tracing the delicate patterns on its surface.
"Thirty years ago, I participated in a terrible war. I set sail with my best friend, but I returned all alone."
"After the war ended, as if afraid to touch the scars it left behind, the Luofu Immortal Ship continued to recuperate and trade along its route..."
"So, this is what happened..." March 7th looked at Yu Kong with some concern.
Yu Kong shook his head. "At the time, I also thought that I was tired of flying and had lost the courage to shoot the enemy with a bow. So I buried myself in the documents of the Sky Ship Bureau and didn't want to look at the sky again."
Yu Kong looked up at the sky and sighed wistfully.
"Although I have been promoted to helmsman, I come from a military background and am not good at these meticulous management practices."
“Tingyun is a natural businesswoman. Although she is my subordinate in name, she always likes to talk to me about business and give me advice.”
"She never fought alongside me on the battlefield, but she was a 'comrade-in-arms' in another sense. Without the help of Tingyun and the merchant guild, Luofu would not have been able to recover in just thirty years."
"I once thought that times had changed, and so had the Fairy Ship."
“A person like Tingyun is the future of the new generation of Tianbo Division. She can bring prosperity to Luofu. Unlike me, I am only good at fighting for blood and fire.”
"I was wrong. Before the antimatter legion's pawns are wiped out one by one, the Immortal Ship still needs me... needs someone like me who runs through the sky for blood and fire." Yu Kong's eyes were filled with melancholy.
"But, am I really still able to do it?"
"My old friends have all left, and now I'm all alone here."
Tingyun's death was like having her pillar of support ripped out.
“Skymaster, I understand how you feel,” Himeko said.
"However, Luofu still needs you. Luofu is in great danger right now."
Yu Kong nodded. "Yes."
"I have already learned that the general is stepping down."
"For Luofu, this is both a danger and an opportunity."
"I hope that Lord Taibu can lead Luofu into a new level," Yu Kong sighed.
The news that the general was about to step down had already reached her ears.
She knew this was not the alliance's decision, but the general's own.
He has already given too much to Luofu; it's time for him to take a break.
However, I can't rest yet.
Luofu still needs her.
"Alright, the starship prepared for the ceremony is ready." Yu Kong changed the subject.
"Everyone, let's place Tingyun's memorial on the Starship."
Everyone nodded and placed the items on the starship.
"Wait, wait! Wait for me!" At this moment, Yanming rushed over, holding a box in his hand.
"Mr. Yanming, what brings you here?" Yu Kong asked, somewhat surprised.
“Miss Tingyun has prepared a gift for me, and as a fellow ferryman, I cannot be impolite.”
Iwaaki placed the box on the Star Raft.
"Mr. Iwaaki, what have you prepared?" March 7 asked curiously.
“I…I brought a kite. I hope you won’t laugh at this small token of my appreciation. Although it can’t compare to the expensive gifts Tingyun gave, this return gift has its own significance.”
“I’ve heard that in the customs of the fox people, kites are used to comfort the souls of those aviators who can no longer take flight. Although Tingyun and I are not real aviators, we have spent our lives dealing with the stars.”
"I think she would be very happy if Tingyun could fly again."
Yanming looked at the items placed on the Star Chariot and a smile appeared on his face.
