The Astral Express slowly moved forward, and two days had passed.
A day ago, the Messenger from the Garden of Recollection implanted herself into Xing's consciousness in the form of a meme, lying low on the Astral Express.
Only Kiana and Xing knew about the Messenger's existence, and they hadn't told anyone else yet.
Moreover, Kiana always felt that the Messenger's voice sounded like her own. She suspected that the Messenger's original appearance was Kiana's face (seriously).
Of course, she was just joking... Today was the day to decide the destination, and the Astral Express Crew would determine the upcoming route through a collective meeting.
"Everyone on the Astral Express, please come to the Observation Car immediately! The route meeting is about to begin, Pa!"
Pom-Pom's voice rang out across all parts of the Astral Express like a loudspeaker.
Kiana climbed out of March 7th's room's bed, then rubbed her eyes and nudged March 7th beside her.
"Little March, wake up, it's time for the meeting."
Kiana had just woken up, her voice carrying a hint of weariness and a muffled nasal tone.
March 7th, nudged by Kiana, reluctantly got up, sitting cross-legged on the bed and yawning.
"Haa~~ Why is the route meeting happening at this hour..."
"It seems like it's already quite late, March. Hurry up and wash up, we need to go..."
Seeing that March 7th didn't seem keen on moving, Kiana reached out and pulled her off the bed.
After washing up, she would definitely feel more energized.
Afterward, Kiana led the slightly groggy Little March to the restroom on the Astral Express to wash up.
During her time on the Astral Express, Kiana didn't choose an empty room but stayed with March 7th.
Since Kiana hadn't done anything inappropriate to March 7th these days, March 7th gradually got used to sleeping with Kiana.
Furthermore, Kiana's body was soft, making her very comfortable to hug, which greatly improved March 7th's sleep quality.
"Kiana, let's go call Xing and Dan Heng."
Walking down the corridor of the Guest Room Car, which was carpeted in red, March 7th suggested this to Kiana beside her.
Dan Heng and Xing probably hadn't been up for long, so why not call them to go together?
As for Old Yang and Himeko, they must have woken up early, otherwise the Conductor wouldn't have made the broadcast.
"I have no problem, ah..."
Kiana nodded, indicating she didn't mind, but soon she sensed a familiar presence behind her and turned her head to look.
"Little March, Xing is here."
"Really? She looks like she's been awake for a while."
March 7th turned her head and saw Xing emerging from the entrance of the Party Car.
Xing quickly ran over after seeing the two of them.
"Where's Dan Heng? The Conductor already notified us, but she hasn't come out yet. Is she doing something embarrassing?"
As she spoke, Xing's face was filled with horror.
Kiana and March 7th narrowed their eyes speechlessly, glanced sideways at Xing who was making a dirty joke, and moved two steps away, pretending they weren't familiar with her.
"Just kidding, just kidding."
Seeing their reaction, Xing scratched her head sheepishly and chuckled.
Everyone was used to Xing's frequent shocking remarks. Kiana and March 7th watched Xing with their hands on their hips and the corners of their mouths slightly raised, their actions perfectly synchronized.
Afterward, the three of them arrived together in front of Dan Heng's room and knocked on the door.
Inside the room, Dan Heng was currently lying on the bed, her eyes tightly closed, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she were having a nightmare.
Her eyes were closed, and her head was constantly shaking slightly from side to side. A low male voice could always be heard in her ear.
'There are five people, three sacrifices, and you... are one of them...'
Hearing this sentence, Dan Heng suddenly opened her eyes and sat straight up, then held her violently trembling chest and took deep breaths.
"I already decided to use this body to bid farewell to the past, so why am I still dreaming of these things..."
Dan Heng frowned, lowered the hand that was stroking her chest, and gradually calmed her rapid breathing.
It seems that if I want to completely break free from the past, I need to face it myself... Dan Heng lowered her eyes and mused inwardly.
Even if the superficial layer of thought says she's moved on, the deep-seated knots from the past are not so easily untied.
Dong dong dong—
Dan Heng turned her head to look at the door, let out a soft sigh, then tidied her slightly messy long hair and gracefully stood up, walking toward the door.
After opening the door, Dan Heng saw the three smiling faces outside and wore an expression that said, 'I knew it.'
"I'm going to change clothes. Wait for me a moment."
Dan Heng's lips curled slightly. She turned and walked back into the room, followed by a faint rustling sound.
"Dan Heng looks just like a Demoiselle from a Xianzhou Family. She's changed so much."
Kiana looked at Dan Heng's door and sighed with emotion.
It must be said that Dan Heng carried the demeanor of a Refined Young Lady in every action. It was truly worthy of someone who was the Imbibitor Lunae of the Luofu in her previous life; even as a girl, she was flawless.
"In front of Dan Heng, I feel like I've completely lost as a girl."
Xing rubbed her chin, seriously reflecting on why her Girly Power couldn't compare to Dan Heng's.
She looked like a reliable big sister... yet she couldn't compare to a girl who had only just started!
A sense of frustration rose in Xing's heart, but it came and went quickly. It could only be said that Xing was quite big-hearted.
"That is naturally thanks to my efforts. Otherwise, Dan Heng wouldn't have gotten used to it so quickly."
March 7th puffed out her chest, her face full of pride.
Although she hadn't taught Dan Heng the manners of a Refined Young Lady, most of the things about being a girl were taught by her!
Therefore!
Dan Heng should still call her Teacher March!
Kiana glanced at the smug March 7th and exposed her:
"Besides, you didn't really teach her anything, did you? Shouldn't it be because Dan Heng's Talents are good?"
"Aiya, you talk too much!"
March 7th slightly closed her eyes, put her hands on her hips, and said with slight displeasure.
In the interval while the two were talking, Dan Heng, who had changed into casual clothes, walked out.
"Why did you change back into your old outfit? Where are those pretty little skirts I bought you?"
Seeing Dan Heng still wearing her former Xianzhou-style Male Attire, March 7th tilted her head and frowned.
"It's just that this outfit is more suitable for action than a skirt."
Dan Heng spread her hands and explained softly.
She certainly didn't want to fight in a skirt; she might accidentally expose herself, which would be very embarrassing.
And her original outfit, slightly modified around the chest, was quite comfortable to wear.
"Alright..."
That made sense, so March 7th stopped pressing the issue. It was just a pity she couldn't see the ethereal, Fairy Dan Heng.
"Let's go. The Conductor and the others must have been waiting for a long time."
After speaking, Dan Heng walked toward the door leading to the Observation Car.
Kiana and the two others behind her exchanged glances and followed.
Following behind Dan Heng, Kiana's eyes shifted slightly, then she narrowed them, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly, revealing a cat-like smile.
This is what Dan Heng looks like after her transformation... what will Welt look like after his transformation? I'm so excited... Thinking that the next route will likely change to the Xianzhou Luofu because of Kafka... If Old Yang uses the power of the spirit crystal significantly on the Luofu, the spirit crystal should accelerate the transformation process.
In that case, the Luofu journey will also be a chance for Old Yang to become Sister Yang!
Kiana is really looking forward to it!
Waku Waku!
