Chapter 200: What, You Also Think That Luocha Seems Off?
As expected of the general renowned for his intellect within the Xianzhou Alliance, isn't it? With just a few words, he can successfully have his subordinates dancing in the palm of his hand, even making them happily work for him—truly a model representative under the streetlights.
But then again... does the Xianzhou really have such strange cultural traditions? Who exactly did he learn this workplace PUA skill from?
Not far away, Mr. Welt, who is well-versed in such matters, silently adjusted his glasses but chose not to speak up—after all, it's quite clear: Jing Yuan, who is doing the PUA-ing, is very happy, and Fu Xuan, who is being PUA-ed, is also very happy. There's really nothing more for him to say.
He just hopes that Welt, who didn't step forward to speak up for others this time, won't become the pitiful victim next time.
"Well then, Fu Qing... oh no, I mean the current general of the Luofu Xianzhou. I'll leave matters here to you for now. The friends from the Astral Express will also help you seal away the Stellaron. This way, the threat of the 'Ambrosial Arbor' can be temporarily resolved."
Even though Fu Xuan had already agreed to his proposal, Jing Yuan still didn't forget to continue his measured PUA, appearing utterly determined not to stop until he had tricked his subordinate into willingly working for him.
However, after entrusting matters to Fu Xuan, he suddenly shifted his focus and looked towards Kevin on the other side: "Although I'd very much like to lay down my burdens now and take a good rest, there are still some matters that I must personally handle... Sorry, Kevin. Could I trouble you to accompany me on one last trip?"
"I have no problem with that." After closing his eyes and agreeing, Kevin immediately followed up with a吐槽: "But it would be even better if you didn't describe things as if you were about to pass away."
But honestly speaking, Kevin doesn't really dislike this feeling either.
"Haha, wasn't I just trying to lighten the mood a bit? Fu Qing and the others might still need some time to deal with the Stellaron... Shall we head this way first?"
Clearly, at the very least, Jing Yuan doesn't want too many people to hear the upcoming conversation. Kevin naturally understands his meaning. So, after giving a warning glance at little Elysia, who is still lying on the ground unable to even stand up, he turned and followed Jing Yuan's steps, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.
A full dozen seconds later, Welt finally placed both hands on March 7th's and Stelle's heads, forcibly turning his two kids' heads back.
"That's enough. They're completely out of sight by now. What are you two still looking at?"
Welt certainly knows that Kevin's current strength is even greater than when he first met him... but isn't that guy just a bit younger-looking, a bit handsomer, a bit stronger, and a bit fiercer in fights?
What exactly does Welt lack in comparison?
Of course, this absolutely isn't due to any shallow emotions like jealousy or such. It's just that Welt can't help but feel a kind of illusion—that after finally raising his own kids with great effort, their elbows are somehow inexplicably turning outward?
Noticing that the two still seemed somewhat distracted, Welt had no choice but to press his fingers against his temples in exasperation. He helplessly pointed at little Elysia on the ground nearby and said: "The person is still right here. Are you two afraid he won't come back? At worst, I'll go and ask him later..."
Alright, Welt also feels that his teachings in combat are probably no match for Kevin's. If he could get Kevin to help improve his kids' skills a bit, that would of course be an excellent thing.
It's just a pity that the two little ones completely fail to understand their elder's hardships and instead seem exceptionally happy?
March 7th × Stelle: "Yay!"
"......."
Little Elysia silently clenched the grass roots in her hand.
Somehow, it feels even more humiliating now.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jing Yuan and Kevin soon boarded a starskiff that the Xianzhou general had procured from somewhere and left the Scalegorge Waterscape.
The not-too-large starskiff only had Jing Yuan and Kevin on board. It was at this moment that Jing Yuan suddenly spoke up: "We really owe a lot to your help this time. Otherwise... I truly wasn't confident whether the Luofu could safely overcome this crisis."
No matter how clever one is, human calculations can never fully match heavenly will—no one can guarantee they will always be the victorious, the lucky one.
For example, even a powerful entity like the Xianzhou Alliance has suffered several disasters it could hardly withstand; for example, who could have imagined that the former Cloud Quintet would encounter such calamity?
"But in truth, I am not some great personage with boundless compassion for the world. The main reason I came to the Xianzhou to deal with that enemy was more due to happenstance."
If Kevin had merely heard news of the Xianzhou Alliance facing disaster while on Belobog, he probably wouldn't have paid it any mind.
However, another matter Kevin wouldn't mention or ponder is—if the Luofu were to face an impending catastrophic disaster while he happened to be there. Then most likely, he would never allow such a thing to happen before his eyes.
Kevin truly isn't some grand saint dreaming of saving people and the world. But one thing is beyond doubt—he would never waver in his principles of conduct and most fundamental beliefs.
This is absolutely not some fanciful ideal; it is the core self that has sustained him until now.
"But you helped the Xianzhou repel the Legion's Lord Ravager—that is an indisputable fact. As I stated before, from now on, the Alliance will receive you as a guest with the highest honors. And in future confrontations with the Legion, the Alliance will undoubtedly be your most steadfast ally."
Jing Yuan first expressed his stance without hesitation, then added with a sigh: "I'm just sorry to trouble you for help now... But I think you might also find this matter quite interesting?"
"I believe you should remember that merchant who claimed to have come from outside the Xianzhou and called himself Luocha... You should have seen that fellow at the Alchemy Commission. Do you remember him?"
"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Kevin's expression immediately turned somewhat grave, and he nodded lightly.
Could it be that besides what Jingliu revealed, that guy is still hiding something?
