I've already applied to the editor for modification permissions and changed the image description of Victory in Chapter 19~
……Dividing line……
As everyone knows, once the bodies of the Xianzhou people are fully grown, they will remain in their youthful state and will not change until they fall into Demon Yin Body—or die due to other accidents, such as battle death.
Despite this, after long-term research, the Alliance finally took into account various factors and set the adult standard for Luofu people to be two hundred years old, with the foxes and the Chiming people being calculated separately.
Su Shang is unlike Bai Yu or Yan Qing, who can be granted military positions as minors. The fact that she can become a member of the Cloud Rider Army means that this girl has reached the adult standard of Xianzhou people—the Alliance wouldn't just let a minor become a soldier who needs to go into battle without special circumstances.
Therefore, Su Shang is at least two hundred years old.
Thus, when her parents, who served in the Cloud Rider Army of the Yaoqing Xianzhou, both died in battle, and Bai Yu, who was still in his swaddling clothes, was adopted by Su Shang's parents, Su Shang's appearance and figure were already no different from now, she had already grown into a graceful and elegant young woman.
Su Shang thought that she would have an adorable younger brother, but this little brother was taken away after a short time, and later, through occasional video calls, she found out that he had developed talents that made her feel ashamed, his academic achievements surpassed her, who had been studying for over a hundred years, in a very short time, for which her father and mother always used Bai Yu as an example, reprimanding Su Shang mercilessly.
Fortunately, this situation didn't affect the relationship between Su Shang and Bai Yu, maybe it was also thanks to this girl's carefree nature?
Later, Bai Yu grew a little older, and after Jing Yuan officially announced to the outside world that he was being groomed as the next general, Su Shang was once again lectured by her parents about Bai Yu being "someone else's child".
—By the way, Jing Yuan almost fought with the General of Yaoqing over this matter, because that fiery-tempered female general also had the idea of letting Bai Yu become the next General of Yaoqing.
"Well, since you were brought to Luofu, Xiao Bai, we haven't seen each other for a long time, miss me, don't you?"
Holding Bai Yu's hand, Su Shang skipped along the Central Street of the Star Chart Sea, suddenly turning her head, her eyes full of a flower-like smile.
(PS·Illustration·AI drawing·Bai Yu and Su Shang·The hands of the stupid AI can't be looked at closely)
"We haven't not seen each other? We can always video chat, right?"
"But it's different from meeting in person... Idiot!"
Su Shang pouted her lips.
"Right, you said you'd take me to meet new friends, tell me a little bit about them first, who are they?"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, the jade pendant on Bai Yu's waist emitted a soft glow.
A light screen popped up in front of him, and on the screen was none other than Qing Zu.
『Bai Yu, Miss Hei Ta and Ms. Eista will arrive at the Shen Ce Fu soon, the General ordered me to summon you here.』
『Huh? The one next to you is...?』
"This is Su Shang I mentioned to you before, Qing Zu Jie."
『Oh! So it's Ms. Su Shang, hello.』
Qing Zu smiled and nodded to Su Shang, making the girl quickly respond in a flustered manner.
After the communication ended, Bai Yu squeezed Su Shang's hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go, to the Shen Ce Fu."
"Wow..." Su Shang couldn't help but exclaim, "You mean, I, a new Cloud Rider recruit who just transferred from Yaoqing Xianzhou to Luofu, my first stop is Shen Ce Fu?"
"Right, right, Bai Yu, quickly tell me about the General of Luofu, I'm so curious, I heard he's one of the Five Warriors of the Clouds!"
"Is he very imposing? Very powerful?"
Bai Yu: "..."
Powerful, he is. Imposing?
The boy's mind couldn't help but bring up the image of Jing Yuan, who had a bunch of sparrows perched on his head, with his chin resting on his hand, dozing off, and finally, he secretly used a pen to draw a large turtle pattern on his face.
"He's... quite imposing!"
……Dividing line……
It needs to be clarified that the relationship between the Xianzhou Alliance and the Interstellar Peace Company is quite complicated.
As one of the top forces in this universe, the relationship between the Alliance and the Company is difficult to describe simply as "good" or "bad," they both cooperate and confront each other, and there are endless underhanded dealings between them.
Not to mention anything else, at least Bai Yu noticed when he used his authority as the Deputy General to browse the archives of the Ten Kings' Office, that among the heinous criminals imprisoned within, there were many who had committed the crime of "stealing immortality," and behind them, the Interstellar Peace Company had a hand in it, both overtly and covertly.
Some criminals who stole highly classified information were even permanently and strictly imprisoned by Luofu, rejecting the Interstellar Peace Company's "exchange of spies" proposal.
That's right, just as the Alliance has the Company's spies, the Company also has spies planted within the Alliance.
However, this doesn't prevent the Alliance and the Company from maintaining a surface appearance of harmony and constant interaction.
In Bai Yu's previous life, the rabbits and the hawks were secretly trying to beat each other's brains out, but when the leaders of both sides met, they could still smile and shake hands, while saying "world peace" with their mouths, while secretly cursing each other's family tree, right?
Moreover, the Company is the Company, and Eista is Eista. This eccentric young lady from the high-ranking family of the Company, due to her relationship with Bai Yu, is a staunch "Pro-Xianzhou" supporter.
Therefore, when the space station, following the navigation provided by the Tian Bo Si, docked at a Star Chart Cave Heaven within Luofu, Eista was not surprised to find that the Tian Bo Si Helm was personally leading a team to welcome them.
While she was slightly disappointed that she couldn't find the figure she had been thinking about in the crowd, just as every girl about to meet her beloved often feels anxious and nitpicks about her own appearance, Eista, in addition to disappointment, also felt a sense of relief, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
"This is the thirty-sixth time you've reapplied your makeup today, if you keep putting it on, the powder on your face will float out for hundreds of meters!"
Hei Ta rolled her eyes at the restless Eista, taking the lead in stepping off the space station.
"Welcome to Luofu, Miss Hei Ta, I am Yu Kong, Helm of the Tian Bo Si of Luofu Xianzhou, I have been ordered by the General to welcome you."
"There's no need for idle talk." Hei Ta waved her puppet arm, glancing at Eista who was catching up behind her, "Where's your Deputy General? The one behind me hasn't slept all night because she's so excited."
"Hei Ta——!!!"
Exposed in front of everyone, Eista stomped her feet in shame.
Yu Kong smiled faintly.
She had naturally heard rumors about the chaotic relationship between this young lady and their Deputy General.
"The General and the Deputy General are already waiting for you at the Shen Ce Fu, please follow me."
