Chapter 31: Eyeing the Delicacies
“Is Si Ma Yi Nan really that steady? I thought she would use her reality-altering powers to stir up some trouble.”
Night Star Lan muttered, unimpressed.
Back when she was searching for Luo Xi in the future, this so-called Record Keeper from the First Generation gave her quite a headache.
Many reliable Star Eclipses Powers came with annoying drawbacks, making them difficult to use, and they needed the Wish Princess to fix the issues.
But thinking it over, Si Ma Yi Nan really didn’t have any complex ideas; she just wanted to be a righteous historian.
Other historians might cover up the truth for their own reasons, but everything Si Ma Yi Nan recorded was truthful and credible.
Perhaps she couldn’t become a court historian, but she could be the historian of an entire era.
Once she penned down true history, it would unveil the buried truths of the world. People’s perceptions would change, and the purpose of hiding historical truths would be rendered useless.
Now that’s a historian with a vision!
Better than working for power-hungry folks who only want to satisfy their own desires.
Next up is Shen Tu Xiu Ming.
He’s truly become the spokesperson for the law—or, as some might say, the reaper who serves it.
After gaining a special knack for targeting evildoers, he swiftly wiped out a whole area of bandits, practically seeing red and not stopping for a breath.
There are just way too many folks destined to meet their doom in this world.
Not only the common bandits, but even some officials in the court.
During the chaos, Shen Tu Xiu Ming even ventured into the capital to purge some officials who looked pristine on the outside but secretly committed unpardonable sins.
But only a small fraction of the harmed supported his actions.
Most of the clueless folks believed that a good official was slain by a ruthless assassin.
Even though Shen Tu Xiu Ming could sense the wickedness in people, others remained oblivious, leading to serious misunderstandings.
If he were just off in the mountains taking down bandits, that’d be one thing—those judgments are pretty straightforward.
But stepping into the capital was a whole different ball game.
In the end, such d*ath sentences are determined by the bigwigs.
Still, Shen Tu Xiu Ming refused to back down. He changed his strategy, hunting for evidence against evildoers in accordance with current laws, making it public, and striking directly—no one could stop him.
He cleaned up a significant number of scoundrels in the court and among prominent families, earning the title of the law’s spokesperson.
Even though the court was in utter despair over this, they couldn’t figure out how to handle Shen Tu Xiu Ming.
Oh, and by the way.
Si Ma Yi Nan also made appearances during these events.
She was busy recording the assassination of certain notable figures.
But she had minimal interaction with Shen Tu Xiu Ming.
It’s like water in a well—both minds their own business.
After all, it’s quite reasonable for a historian not to involve themselves in historical events.
Now we move on to Wen Ren Zuo.
After obtaining the ability to create limitless energy out of thin air, he started to bring his conceptual designs from his mind into reality to see if they worked with an energy source.
If it works, he could potentially swap power sources later on, bringing scientific power into the mix, and widespread implementation wouldn’t be a problem.
This so-called limitless energy was a golden opportunity for him.
If he can’t even start, then that’s a failed attempt from the get-go.
So during this time, Wen Ren Zuo was holed up in his workshop, tinkering with various contraptions, almost feeling like he was on the brink of an industrial revolution.
If successful, history would take a significant turn!
But for now, it’s only the beginning.
Night Star Lan, watching three scenes unfold before her eyes, suddenly turned to Luo Xi and asked, “Luo Xi, what do you think of these three humans? For instance, do you find any of them particularly pleasing to the eye?”
After all, Si Ma Yi Nan, Shen Tu Xiu Ming, and Wen Ren Zuo were the three First Generations that Luo Xi seemed to favor later on.
There had to be a reason for that!
Like, do they just look good or something?
To Night Star Lan’s surprise, Luo Xi shook her head.
“I don’t feel anything special. All the humans Ku Luo brought back seem the same to me.”
“Uh, what…?”
Night Star Lan was at a loss for words.
Luo Xi had no particular impression of these three First Generations?
Then how have they become her favorites?
Night Star Lan fell into deep thought.
She started to suspect something.
Could her own actions have impacted Luo Xi?
“Hmm… think again, you really don’t have any special feelings?”
“Nope. Among all the humans I’ve met, only you stand out.”
“That’s great…”
Night Star Lan brushed off the detail, probably because they hadn’t spent much time together.
The nine First Generations would eventually gather together.
If she could spend even a moment with Luo Xi and Ku Luo during that process, she could probably figure out who was aligned with whom.
But when would that be?
It’s kind of exciting to think about!
…
After witnessing the beginnings of the nine First Generations, Night Star Lan decided not to have Luo Xi speed up time any longer.
It was good for a little relaxation—how much trouble could that cause?
Mainly, Night Star Lan wanted to find a moment to kidnap Loti Shana.
Whether it was the human version of Loti Shana for some cuddly time or the Star Eclipses version of her, that was the wholesome life she envisioned!
Time froze one afternoon.
Night Star Lan was peeping at Loti Shana’s daily life through the projection from Luo Xi, checking if she had some free time.
Though her nation was still expanding and trying to unify the territory, she wasn’t too busy lately.
She had trained enough talent to manage the country’s affairs.
Even handing over important military power was no problem.
Thanks to the effects of Star Power, all of her subordinates were filled with loyalty; they were truly united as one.
Now Loti Shana didn’t need to do anything.
She could simply be a magnificent queen without a care in the world.
These days, her life basically consisted of strutting through the palace, exuding an air of authority while soaking up the respectful and adoring gazes of her subjects—how relaxing could it get?
Night Star Lan smiled at the scene.
“Hehe~ She doesn’t look busy at all! Should I just grab her now for some good times? Let’s do it now~”
She had been eyeing this version of Loti Shana for ages.
If she didn’t act now, when would she?
“Luo Xi, bring Loti Shana here; I want to have a good chat with her~”
“Okay.”
Luo Xi nodded in agreement.
With her abilities, teleporting someone regardless of distance was a walk in the park.
At that moment, while Loti Shana was strolling through her palace, she suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
The next second…
Her surroundings morphed from the familiar palace to a scene both strange yet somewhat recognizable.
“Gulu?”
Loti Shana tilted her head, confused.
“Ahem~”
Just then, a voice rang out.
Loti Shana turned towards it to discover three petite girls sitting there.
It was none other than Night Star Lan and Luo Xi!
