"It's nothing, it's nothing~ This is all for the sake of the captain, it's not hard work at all! It's you who are working hard, Lord Taibu."
Fu Xuan nodded in response. In response to her boss's praise, Qing Que chuckled and gave a very pleasant reply, launching into a spiel of flattery that showcased her excellent workplace oratory skills.
Fu Xuan chuckled softly at her glib and quick-witted manner, and gently patted her head.
"Hmm~ Not bad, keep up the good work."
Chapter 83 Qingque, what are you looking at?
Qingque blinked twice.
Why does the diviner seem a bit off today? He's like a completely different person.
Looking at her appearance, she could still see the incomparably beautiful Grand Diviner. But normally, when she said such flattering words, she would only get a snort in return. The Grand Diviner would remain unmoved and make her go to work, letting her actions speak for themselves.
Now, it feels like that unapproachable authority has been removed, and they've become much more approachable.
But Qingque didn't think too much about it; she was still secretly happy about something else.
She didn't expect the Grand Diviner to return so quickly. She hadn't even had a chance to do anything yet. Does that mean she won't have to manage the ship's helm anymore and can continue to slack off in the future?
As for that unusually relaxed demeanor, perhaps he encountered something happy.
However, there aren't many things that can make the old lady Tai Bu so happy.
Qingque couldn't help but let her thoughts wander.
Could it be that the General was injured, and the Grand Diviner was finally appointed as the future General?
She immediately dismissed the idea; it was utterly immoral to portray the diviner and the general in such a manner.
Why think so much? What does the important matter of the Grand Diviner have to do with a mere fortune teller like me? I should just think about leaving get off work early and going to play a few rounds of Di Yuan Qiong Yu with my friends and enjoy myself.
Thinking about the wonderful time she could slack off, Qingque immediately got to work with a happy heart. However, while working, she couldn't help but think about other things. After what had just happened, she could only stay in the Taibu Si busy and couldn't go out.
Speaking of which, what major event has happened outside? Should we take a look at the Jade Tablet?
Qingque couldn't suppress her curiosity and secretly took out the jade portrait to examine it. She glanced at Fu Xuan, who was looking at something with his back to her and didn't seem to notice her.
I'll just take a look. And even if the Grand Diviner discovers something this important, I'll only get a few words of advice at most.
Thinking this, she let out a cute little chuckle. As soon as she opened the forum, various trending topics popped up.
Upon seeing these messages, Qingque's smile suddenly vanished.
With a slight tremor of her fingertips, she clicked on the first most popular post, and the content zoomed in and popped up.
The above contains numerous pictures, which are not exaggerations, but truly depict the serious situation affecting most of Luofu.
I took a few deep breaths and scanned the screen several times to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
His personality changed drastically, and his behavior became abnormal...
Qingque swallowed hard.
"Qingque, what are you looking at?"
Suddenly, Fu Xuan's familiar voice came from behind her, but at this moment it sounded like a demon demanding her life.
Qingque trembled and turned her head stiffly, only to meet Fu Xuan's ambiguous smile.
"Ah! My lord, I was wrong! I will never dare to look at the Jade Tablet while working again!"
With her hands clasped together, Qingque immediately began to admit defeat and beg for mercy, looking pitiful, just like a lazy employee caught red-handed by the boss.
But she kept her head down, cold sweat beading on her forehead, trying her best to remain composed and not give herself away.
Fu Xuan smiled in response, showing no blame, but instead speaking gently.
"It's alright. You've worked hard taking on so many tasks, Qingque. It's fine for you to rest for a while."
These words made Qingque tremble even more violently. This was definitely not the Grand Diviner!
Oh no! I, Qingque, have lived a life of good deeds and virtue, why did I have to encounter such a thing? Now I'm really going to lose everything and the game is over!
Her heart was filled with endless sorrow and screams.
"No, no! Your Excellency, please don't make fun of me. My work is nothing compared to yours. I promise I will never slack off again."
Although his heart was churning violently, Qingque maintained a forced smile and quickly spoke, as if he hadn't noticed anything amiss. Faced with his boss's sarcastic remarks, the employee hurriedly made his promise.
"Alright, since you're so hardworking and ambitious, I won't force you to continue."
Fu Xuan chuckled lightly, no longer making things difficult, which finally relieved Qing Que a little. She calmly continued working, her mind frantically trying to think of a way to deal with the situation and how to escape, when she suddenly heard the other party call out.
"Qingque, come here and give me a shoulder massage."
Qingque froze, then forced a smile that looked more like a grimace than a cry.
"Yes, yes, Your Excellency."
She walked behind the other person, raised her hand but hesitated to bring it down, as if facing a monstrous flood that was about to devour her. Instead of running away, she was getting so close that she was going crazy. Her heart was pounding. Only after she had mentally prepared herself did she grit her teeth and stiffly begin to massage the area.
The saddest part is that, despite the pressure and tension of wanting to cry, she still has to act very charming and attentive.
"Lord Taibu, how is this force?"
Fu Xuan simply responded softly, continuing to peruse the documents on his own. Qing Que glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was using the authority of the Grand Diviner to browse various confidential information without any attempt to conceal it.
'Can't you at least try to hide this kind of thing and make it look convincing?! Don't let me see it!'
Qingque cried out in her heart, on the verge of tears. She was so afraid of knowing something she shouldn't know, and then being killed to silence her.
I'm not even two hundred years old yet; my life has just begun.
Lowering her head and pretending not to see anything, Qingque acted like a puppet, only using her small hands to massage the shoulders of 'Lord Taibu'.
"You despicable bastard! Give me back my body right now!"
Qi Shi was flipping through documents, trying to understand the information he needed when he first arrived in the Star Iron Universe, while Fu Xuan's annoyed voice kept coming to his ears. Suppressed in her consciousness space, she was completely helpless and could only watch as the other party did whatever he wanted to her body.
"Now I am Fu Xuan, so shut up, you evil spirits," Qi Shi said without batting an eye.
"You, you!" Fu Xuan's voice trembled at his righteous words, but her good upbringing made her retorts extremely poor.
"You bad guy!"
Chapter 84 The prize pool is still accumulating.
But Fu Xuan was, after all, the Grand Diviner of the Grand Divination Bureau. Although she was not mature and calm enough, her ability to strategize was undeniable. After her initial shame, anger and resentment subsided, she regained some composure.
He observed Qi Shi's behavior outside from within his own consciousness space, his words containing both emotional persuasion and a strong threat.
"Although I don't know where you come from, I advise you to return my body as soon as possible. Considering that you haven't committed any serious mistakes, I can let bygones be bygones."
"You are not alone. Celestial ships traverse the starry sea. Even if you can control me, there are generals above me, soldiers and celestial generals from other celestial ships, and marshals. If you continue to be stubborn, you will not be able to withstand the counterattack of all the celestial ships."
"But your general was also my defeated foe."
Qi Shi flipped through the documents, appearing quite casual.
"After you finished speaking, you reminded me that I was just planning to go and check out the other immortal ships. You happen to have the coordinates here."
"Even if you defeat the general, can you stop the light arrows of the Emperor's Bow? If you continue to act recklessly, you will surely face the judgment of the Emperor's Bow."
Fu Xuan spoke up indignantly, but Qi Shi remained completely unfazed by her words.
"Weren't you so confident just now? How come you're suddenly threatening to take me down with you?"
The power of the Emperor's Bow and Arrow was indeed reassuring, but it also brought a sense of unease. With a single arrow, enemies, allies, and even the immortal ships were all swept away.
Fu Xuan opened his mouth as if to refute, but found himself unable to speak.
Qi Shi slightly raised his hand to signal the aggrieved Qingque to move to another spot for a massage. He then took a sip of the special sweet tea that Tai Bu had treasured, and continued speaking to Fu Xuan.
"How about we talk about physical matters instead? Look, it's almost dark, and the Chief of the Apostles hasn't finished any of his official duties yet. I'll kindly give you some personal time."
"Your Excellency, you wouldn't want the Bureau of Divination to be in such chaos, would you?"
"You bad guy!"
After exchanging only a few words, Fu Xuan couldn't hold back any longer because of Qi Shi's attitude, and shouted angrily.
This despicable guy has taken control of her body, mocks her, drinks her sweet tea, orders her subordinates around, and even wants her to work for him!
In the time that followed, Qi Shi, enduring Fu Xuan's annoyed expression, would occasionally continue his great work of opening boxes in Luofu, and at other times spend his days leisurely in the Taibu Si, or go to the newly opened 'buffet restaurant' Xianzhou.
After all, the knowledge one can acquire in a day is only so-so. The Immortal Ship has hundreds of billions of people and six giant ships, making it a treasure trove that can be mined for a very long time.
Unlike some people with possession abilities who are fastidious and only willing to possess women, Qi Shi never cared about such trivial matters. He only cared about mining, and when he was thirsty, he would not even spare the old pear bodhisattva with a price of over two thousand, causing two generals to suffer in succession.
Of course, first they wreaked havoc on Luofu, and then suddenly appeared in Zhu Ming.
As a result, his existence and 'fearsome reputation' spread throughout the Immortal Boat Alliance.
We can't find it, we can't catch it, all the countermeasures are ineffective, even the most massive calculation array can't find its origin and weaknesses, from the beginning of discussing solutions to now just getting a headache.
Qi Shi's daily life was naturally leisurely. As the most honored person in the Taibu Si, he had a blue sparrow at his side. Watching the sparrow's tearful expression serve him provided both physical relaxation and mental pleasure.
In comparison, Fu Xuan was not happy at all, and his tone of negotiation became increasingly hesitant.
After calming down and carefully considering her situation, she still had some confidence in fighting back. Although Qingque always liked to joke around, she was very intelligent and outstanding. She was sure that he could see through her and then find an opportunity to report her situation to the general.
Even if the general can't solve it alone, there are other immortal ships. Perhaps in half a day, General Yao Guang will be able to find out the other party's true identity and weaknesses, and then capture this despicable villain.
However, as the days went by, there was still no news, as if the stone had sunk into the sea.
This made Fu Xuan increasingly less confident in his confrontation with Qi Shi, and his tone became as soft as Theresa's.
Ever since Qi Shi uttered those words, Fu Xuan felt deeply offended. Although he didn't understand what he was hearing, he felt that the name carried a strange malice.
Qi Shi left the Taibu Si (a government office) to collect minerals as usual.
"Phew~" Qingque in the room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Phew~" Fu Xuan regained control of her body and couldn't help but let out a long breath. Then she looked at Qing Que with an angry gaze.
"Qingque! I trusted you so much, but why haven't I seen any effective results after all this time? Have you been slacking off after get off work?!"
"Um... Lord Taibu, you can't blame me for this. I'm just a lowly diviner, and I can't meet with important figures like the generals like you. I just told the Earth Balance Bureau as much as I could. How the generals discussed the matter is beyond my knowledge."
Qingque complained that she was also very hard-working, being bossed around every day. Although she didn't have to work much, didn't have to work overtime, and didn't get scolded, she could finish work early and go slack off.
Hmm, thinking about it carefully, it seems pretty good.
