Sanctuary Starfield Journey

38-8 Guiding China Through the Stars

Dongfang Yun searched here and there, but couldn't find Mo Bei anywhere. Her ears drooped; she couldn't understand where Mo Bei could have gone in such a small place. Suddenly, a figure appeared outside, looking like it was running. Dongfang Yun recognized Mo Bei at a glance and immediately went to meet her, her bells jingling merrily.

Mo Bei was panting heavily. Dongfang Yun asked nervously, "What's wrong, Xiao Mo? Did something happen?" Mo Bei lowered his head, "Nothing... I went for a run... I heard it makes you stronger..." Dongfang Yun's droopy ears perked up, "That's good, that's good. I thought you were lost. After all, there's only one Xiao Mo in the whole world." Hearing this, Mo Bei slightly raised his head, "Then... do you like me?" Dongfang Yun was taken aback, meeting Mo Bei's eyes, "I'm afraid I'm not good enough to be liked..." Dongfang Yun gently patted his head, "How could that be? If I don't like you, who else could I like?" Mo Bei's eyes lit up, and he smiled, a very happy smile.

After Mo Bei calmed down, Dongfang Yun took out the crossbow from before, the one called "Guide to Stars": "This is for National Day. Each person can only choose one person to use it, and I chose you." Mo Bei accepted the Guide to Stars, feeling genuinely happy. He decided that after rescuing his friend, he would return to confess his feelings to Dongfang Yun.

Mo Bei asked, "How do we do this during the National Day celebrations?" Dongfang Yun conjured a cloud beneath his feet, gesturing for each person to hold one side. Mo Bei complied, and a ball appeared above. Dongfang Yun explained, "This round ball is called the Heavenly Seal Pearl. What we need to do is shoot at this ball together." Mo Bei raised the Guide to Stars, but Dongfang Yun didn't follow, causing the Guide to Stars to tilt to one side. Dongfang Yun said, "It's tilted! Wait for me!" and quickly raised it up.

The two aimed together. Dongfang said, "When the time comes, we can slide inwards to the spot I've marked and launch." Mo Bei eagerly slid, but nothing happened. Dongfang Yun said, "How about we just follow the commands first?" Mo Bei agreed.

Dongfang Yun announced, "3, 2, 1!" The two slid together, and a beam of purplish-red light shot out, accompanied by countless ribbons and fireworks. The beam pierced through the Heavenly Seal Pearl, causing it to explode and scatter confetti and candy. Mo Bei said, "Is this right? Why is there candy too?" Dongfang Yun replied, "It's delicious!" The first attempt ended successfully, and Mo Bei said, "Actually, I don't think it's that difficult." Dongfang Yun said quietly, "But it has to be broadcast live throughout the entire universe." Mo Bei asked, "How many people are there?" Dongfang Yun thought, "I don't know, probably no less than a trillion?" Mo Bei asked, "How many is that?" Dongfang Yun wiped the air in front of him with his palm, revealing a diagram of trillions of people. Mo Bei looked at it and felt it was like a black sheet of paper, and couldn't help but feel immense pressure: "That...that's still very difficult..." Dongfang Yun wasn't trying to put pressure on him intentionally, but just wanted him to achieve perfection with her: "It's okay, there are still so many days left, practice slowly." Mo Bei nodded: "Yes! Since you value me so much, I can't let you down!" Dongfang Yun clenched her little fist: "Yes, let's work hard together! I'll take you out to play after it's done."

And so they practiced all day, until evening. A mechanical voice came from the treehouse, the same one from the Mo Yun ship earlier: "It's cloudy at 30:00. Princess Yun, it's time for you to sleep. You need to be well-rested to face a better tomorrow." Dongfang Yun said to Mo Bei, "Little Mo, did you hear that? It's time to go to sleep. Let's go together." Mo Bei nodded and followed.

Upon entering the treehouse, the mechanical voice rang in Mo Bei's ears: "Who are you if not me? How did you get in?" Mo Bei looked around and found no one. "Yun'er, did you hear a strange voice? You're asking who I am, and you don't even recognize me? You're so ignorant." Dongfang Yun said, "It should be Yun Sheng, right? This is an AI installed here that can make those who are meant to hear hear you." Mo Bei nodded and said, "I am Mo Bei. Yun'er invited me in." Yun Sheng's voice sounded a little shocked: "What? You call Princess Yun'er Yun'er?" Mo Bei nodded: "What's wrong?" Yun Sheng was questioning his existence; his master actually brought someone else in.

Dongfang Yun quickly lay down on the bed and patted the space beside her, indicating that Mo Bei should sleep there. Mo Bei looked at the small space above her and couldn't help but doubt, "Will this work? It's so small, even I can't fit in, right?" Dongfang Yun said, "Why don't you try?" Yun Sheng, with his face contorted in the ceiling, thought, "Princess Yun actually invited someone else to sleep with her. This world is still more unpredictable than I imagined." Mo Bei climbed up, and Dongfang Yun moved over a bit. Mo Bei tried to lie down, hoping not to fall and hit the floor.
