"I remember, Xiao Gui's original name was Ge... Ge something again?"
"Oh dear, those names are still too long, so I can never remember them."
Li Sushang scratched her head. "I remember Xiao Guizi was a princess somewhere."
"It's Guinevere, but there's nothing to mention about such an old name. In the past, I was the daughter of the Duke of Protectorate, but now I'm just Gui Naifen of the Immortal Boat."
"Camelot's glory has long been extinguished by the Antimatter Legion's attack."
Gui Naifen shook her head. She was the youngest daughter of the Duke of Camelot, and had lived a life of luxury since childhood. However, her wonderful life came to an end with the invasion of Camelot by the antimatter legion.
Her father died in the war to resist the Legion's invasion. Before the fall of the capital, Guinevere's mother insisted that she and her siblings leave Camelot. Her mother then died for her country, and Camelot was completely destroyed by the Legion.
Afterwards, she and her siblings traveled to Humboldt—a resource planet of the Interstellar Peace Corporation—where Guinevere learned to survive.
Uncle Stonewall, the old knight who took care of his siblings, and Guinevere's three brothers became miners for the company, but Uncle Stonewall eventually died due to old age and excessive labor.
After losing his source of income, Guinevere's brother became a space pirate and ruled the mountain. Later, they were arrested by the company's soldiers for hijacking a merchant ship from the Immortal Ship Alliance and were handed over to the Cloud Cavalry along with their family.
The Immortal Boat Alliance spared Guinevere's brother from the death penalty, allowing them to make a living on the Immortal Boat. At the same time, they arranged for Guinevere and the others to study at the academy, which finally put their lives back on track.
Upon hearing Gui Naifen reveal that she came from Camelot and was named Guinevere, Artoria's pupils dilated in shock.
Chapter 896 I can tell at a glance that you are not human
"Hey, Miss Artoria, why do you seem so quiet?"
Li Sushang looked at Artoria with some confusion, not understanding why the other party had suddenly become silent after being quite interested just now.
"I'm fine..."
Artoria's smile was somewhat forced; it was already quite an achievement that she could control her expression when she encountered Guinevere here.
"Oh!! Right, Miss Artoria said she's from Camelot, didn't she?"
Li Sushang suddenly realized, "Could it be that Xiao Guizi and Miss Artoria come from the same place?"
"Eh?"
Gui Naifen was somewhat surprised, "Is Miss Artoria really from Camelot?"
"No wonder I felt a sense of kinship with Miss Artoria at first sight; we're from the same hometown."
"I guess so..."
Artoria didn't know what to say.
"That's great! Xiao Guizi's family is actually quite lonely here. Xiao Guizi has her brother Lang Shile with her... Miss Artoria seems to be all alone. But speaking of which, Xiao Guizi, what's your brother's real name again?"
Li Sushang scratched her head, "I think her name is something like Lan... Lan something?"
"Lancelot, my brother's name in Camelot is Lancelot. I wonder if Miss Artoria has ever heard of him?"
Gui Naifen looked at Artoria and took out her phone from her pocket, finding some photos.
“Look, this is what we used to look like in Camelot.”
In the photo, the young Gui Naifen is smiling brightly, and her clothes are in a Camelot style of blue and white.
Artoria's expression stiffened. Lancelot becoming her brother-in-law? Something didn't sound right.
Moreover, if she didn't genuinely not recognize the people in the photo, she would almost have thought they were also members of the Knights of the Round Table, just forgotten about them.
She took a deep breath. "Sorry, I haven't heard of it."
Hearing this answer, Gui Naifen was clearly disappointed. Ever since the Antimatter Legion conquered Camelot, she and her brothers had been looking forward to meeting familiar fellow villagers.
Artoria twitched the corner of her mouth. Why did she feel inexplicably heartbroken when she saw the disappointed expression on Gui Naifen's face, even though Gui Naifen was clearly not the Guinevere she knew?
Is it because the other party is also grieving over Camelot's passing?
"Oh, it's alright. Miss Artoria doesn't look very old, and she probably doesn't remember Camelot much. Since we're already here, Xiao Guizi, let's take Miss Artoria on a tour of the fairy ship."
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, Li Sushang quickly spoke up.
"Yes, that makes sense. It's not easy to meet someone from our hometown. As someone who arrived here earlier, it's only right that I take on the responsibility of being a tour guide."
Gui Naifen smiled and sincerely extended her hand to Artoria, "Nice to meet you, please take care of me."
"Please advise!"
Artoria paused for a moment, but still reached out and shook hands with Gui Naifen.
While Artoria and Gui Naifen were touring the Immortal Ship, Bai Zhi had already brought Tamamo-no-Mae to a small grotto-heaven near the Shence Mansion, where peach trees grew.
"Lady Baizhi, you've arrived."
Upon seeing the entrance to the cave being disturbed, dozens of elite Yun cavalrymen immediately became alert, but only breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing Bai Zhi.
This place is currently the most important location on the Luofu Immortal Ship. It's no joke that the Divine Strategy Palace where Jing Yuan is located is far less important than this place.
This place also gathers almost all of Luofu's most elite fighting forces.
Watching the large automated weapons being lowered, Bai Zhi smiled and asked, "It's been a while, and you've already deployed so many people here?"
"Reporting to Lord Baizhi, the peach tree is too important. General Jingyuan has moved all the guards of the Shence Army here and recruited 5000 people to set up defenses in various places here."
"Peony??"
When Tamamo-no-Mae heard the term, her mouth dropped open. She felt that perhaps she had misunderstood.
After all, she had heard Bai Zhi say that this was Bai Zhi's hometown, not the Heavenly Court.
The things that exist in Heaven certainly don't exist in this world.
But now that another peach has appeared, she can't help but feel a little confused.
Is this the peach she's thinking of?
"That's right, it's the peach you're thinking of~"
"Want some? I'll get you some later."
Seeing Tamamo-no-Mae's expression, Bai Zhi knew exactly what she was thinking, so she immediately confirmed her line of thought.
"what?"
Tamamo-no-Mae was even more confused. Bai Zhi's words made it sound like that thing was some ordinary wild fruit, something you could just pick and eat casually.
This stuff, if it's 3000 years old, can make one ascend to immortality, becoming light and healthy; if it's 6000 years old, eating it can make one ascend to heaven and live forever; and if it's 9000 years old, it can make one live as long as heaven and earth, and as old as the sun and moon.
Could it be that Bai Zhi stole the Jade Emperor's peach tree?
"We're here, this is it."
Bai Zhi led Yu Zao Qian through the journey without any obstacles.
Looking at the enormous peach tree and the fruit it bore, I was at a loss for words.
Under the peach trees, there were many gardeners who looked like they were busy tending to them.
Bai Zhi casually stopped a gardener and asked, "How many peaches are left over there? Do you have a count?"
The female gardener from the Chiming Clan was slightly taken aback after being stopped by Bai Zhi. "Ah, it's Lady Bai Zhi. I don't know the remaining number of peaches."
"I was just transferred here too."
"But Lady Baizhi is truly amazing, managing to obtain such a bountiful miracle. I wonder who will be lucky enough to enjoy these peaches in the end."
As he said this, the gardener's eyes were filled with undisguised longing for the peaches.
Bai Zhi didn't take this feeling seriously. It's normal for people to have such desires, but this gardener made Bai Zhi feel that something was amiss.
She sensed a strange sense of incongruity about the gardener.
Although it wasn't apparent from his appearance, based on the powerful spirit and soul bestowed upon him by the Level 3 Sheep Talisman, she felt that this guy was like a child wearing an ill-fitting coat.
"Lady Baizhi, why are you looking at me like that? I'm a little scared..."
Seeing Bai Zhi staring intently at him, the gardener swallowed hard and subtly took a few steps back.
"You...aren't you human?"
Chapter 897 The Reappearance of Illusion
"What do you mean, not human? Lady Baizhi, what are you saying?"
The gardener took two steps back, gave an awkward smile, and said, "If you think I'm not suitable, I'll leave now."
"Lady Baizhi, what's wrong?"
Seeing the unusual situation, the surrounding Cloud Riders gathered around and looked at the gardener with scrutinizing eyes.
Bai Zhi approached the gardener and, to his astonishment, pointed a finger at his forehead.
"boom"
A faint green flame shot out from the body of the Vidyadhara.
"Suiyang?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised. No wonder she felt that this guy was like a child wearing clothes that didn't fit her. Now it seemed that was indeed the case.
"Suiyang, when did you invade?!"
The Cloud Cavalry immediately aimed their weapons at the floating Suiyang.
Those who come here have all undergone rigorous testing, have never left the Immortal Ship, and have a clean background.
The tests related to the solar term "Suiyang" were naturally included, and the gardener passed them smoothly.
"You guys step back, this guy is no ordinary Suiyang."
Bai Zhi reached out and stopped the Cloud Cavalry who wanted to approach. She could feel the enormous energy emanating from Sui Yang, which was something that these elite Cloud Cavalry could not handle.
"Oh dear, you little brat from the Vidyadhara clan, it's been a long time. You've grown so much. If I had known this would happen, I should have tried to take over your body back then."
A mature and alluring voice emanated from that ray of sunlight.
"Illusion?"
Matching the voice with a figure in her mind, Bai Zhi frowned. "You're still lurking on the Immortal Ship?"
"Hehe, giving up after one failure is not my style. But little guy, you can actually see through my carefully crafted disguise. That's quite remarkable."
Huanlong conjured the image of Tingyun, saying, "This humble woman is truly happy for Lady Baizhi~"
"Oh dear, why the expression? Does Lady Baizhi not like my congratulations?"
Bai Zhi silently summoned the Storm Sword and swung it at Huanlong without hesitation.
"Don't be so rough. Are the followers of the Demon Bow really so impatient?"
Huanlong teleported and easily dodged the attack.
"Oh."
Huanlong covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, this doesn't fit Tingyun's character. I should say, Lady Baizhi, please be patient, I will slowly explain to you~"
"what do you want to say?"
Bai Zhi took a deep breath and asked.
Upon hearing this, Huanlong glanced at the enormous peach tree, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes. "This peach tree is a miracle of abundance. I was originally planning to take advantage of your unpreparedness to merge with this miracle and obtain an even more powerful physical body."
She was furious when Bai Zhi and Jing Yuan attacked her from both sides last time, destroying the dual-destiny physical body she had worked so hard to obtain.
That's a physical body that combines abundant healing with powerful destructive attacks.
After that physical body was destroyed, she quietly went into hiding, preparing to deliver a fatal blow when the immortal ship was in turmoil.
Unexpectedly, the body of the Ming Clan that she occupied was recruited here from a lower-level department because of her clean background, her hard work and dedication, and her position in the Cloud Cavalry.
Upon seeing the peach tree, his previously dormant thoughts began to stir again.
Last time, for various reasons, Bai Zhi and Jing Yuan caught us off guard, but this time, the enemy is in the open, and we are in the dark.
Knowing that Bai Zhi was already an envoy, what she wanted more was to take advantage of the guards' inattention, forcibly seize the peach tree, and merge with this bountiful miracle to transform it into a new physical body.
Of course, after obtaining a new physical body, it will not be like last time, foolishly staying here and waiting to be crushed by the two messengers working together.
In the past few days, she had become quite familiar with the surroundings, and the guards had relaxed their vigilance towards her.
However, he failed miserably with Bai Zhi, who immediately saw through his true identity.
