The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Although in the story, Yanqing suffered a complete defeat, he was fifty years old. In addition, Yanqing and Jingyuan often sparred, so this guy had defeated four of the five heroes of Yunshang, and he didn't win against any of them.

However, Yanqing can actually crush 99% of the people on the Immortal Boat. If it's just a contest of swordsmanship skills, without using strength to suppress, Jingyuan is only slightly stronger than Yanqing. It can be said that Yanqing is a true genius.

Jing Yuan: [Yan Qing will also participate. No one has ever said that Luo Fu can only have one person participate, but... Xiao Bai Zhi, Luo Fu needs a sense of security, you should understand that.]

"A sense of security...?"

Bai Zhi frowned slightly; she knew what Jing Yuan meant.

Luo Fu's handling of the Jianmu matter seemed swift, but in reality, it exposed many problems, the first being the issues within the Dan Ding Division.

In the Dan Ding Si, the secret teachings of the Medicine King and the belief in abundance are already well-known secrets.

There are also many members of the Wisdom Clan involved, which is why Jing Yuan has always found it difficult to take action against them.

He was a general, but due to the alliance, he could not interfere too much in the internal affairs of the Vidyadhara tribe.

In other areas of Luofu, there are also many people with ulterior motives.

Many people were quite dissatisfied with Jing Yuan, but he was able to suppress many problems only because he had been a general for hundreds of years.

With the rebirth of Jianmu, most of the evil spirits lurking in the shadows are probably planning to take advantage of the turmoil in Luofu to cause trouble.

Jing Yuan's intention was clearly to use this martial arts ceremony to demonstrate the immense power of the entire Luofu region and to deter any insects that might try to break free.

Including some old-timers in the league.

"I understand, General. I will return then. Besides, aren't those pills with you? You can use them to make some plans."

After Bai Zhi sent the message, Jing Yuan replied after a while:

【Okay, then have a pleasant journey. If you need any help from Luofu, just let me know.】

Putting down her phone, Bai Zhi sighed softly. Luo Fu was indeed a place rife with undercurrents, especially those ambitious Dragon Masters, who knew how many shady things they had done behind the scenes.

Hopefully these guys will take it easy. If they really do something serious, they'll end up in jail.

Anyway, the Ming tribe can now increase its population.

"Another one..."

A voice that was both strange and familiar interrupted Bai Zhi's thoughts.

Bai Zhi looked up in surprise and found herself in a lavishly decorated room. Beside her was Xing, who was equally bewildered.

And standing in front of me... with purple hair and that familiar voice, it was clear that she was a famous actress from miHoYo.

Huang Quan sighed, as if he was used to the two of them being there.

"Come with me."

"Wait, what's going on here?" Xing scratched his head, asking in confusion.

Huang Quan lowered his eyes and slowly said, "These questions... are meaningless, but I will try my best to explain them to you."

Huang Quan stretched out his hand, and some dreamlike points of light bloomed within it. "As you can see, this is the boundary between reality and memory... a dream."

"Under the influence of the high concentration of memory matter in this galaxy, you and I accidentally shared the same dream, appearing in each other's thoughts. This is the land of dreams, our first greeting."

"Don't worry, you will soon wake up from your dream, forget everything that happened here, and only feel a little melancholy."

"No need to worry, this kind of forgetting happens every morning, it's something we've long been used to."

"So, come with me, I'll take you home."

After saying that, Huang Quan was about to turn around and lead the way, but she stopped after saying another sentence.

"Mei, we meet again."

"you…"

Huang Quan, who had just turned around, looked at Bai Zhi with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“I understand. It’s just a similar flower. I’m not the person you’ve met before. The name Mei… while it represents my past, I would prefer you to call me Yomi.”

She suddenly realized that there are always similar beings in this universe. Perhaps Bai Zhi had met another person similar to her.

Perhaps on the other side, I am living a happy life, having achieved my final goal, and living happily ever after with my friends.

"But it's meaningless. Once you return to reality, you'll forget all of this, forget about me, this ordinary person."

Under the influence of the power of nothingness, any chance encounters here will ultimately become meaningless, as if they were nonexistent memories of the past.

"Perhaps, but Mei, would you like to try this little cake now?"

Bai Zhi picked up a small cake from the table in the room and said to Huang Quan with a smile.

"Eh?"

Huang Quan was a little stunned. Why would Bai Zhi invite him to eat a small cake in such a serious setting?

With a sigh, Huang Quan calmly took out a peach from his wide sleeve and said, "No need for that, I just need to eat some fruit."

As she spoke, she took a bite of a peach, and the abundant juice brought Huang Quan an almost indistinguishable sweetness.

"Mei, speaking of which, you look a lot like someone I know."

"That person really enjoyed the food her best friend made, but due to certain events, she was separated from her best friend for a long time until her best friend found her again."

"Then I made her a sweet pepper curry and asked her what it tasted like, and she replied that it was spicy."

"My friend was very upset and said, 'How could bell pepper curry be spicy?'"

…………

Huang Quan fell silent; how could she not understand Bai Zhi's meaning?

"Don't push yourself now. Come on, let's eat something else. Maybe it will help you remember something."

Bai Zhi carried the small cake to Huang Quan, then used a fork to cut off a piece, floated it up, and offered it to Huang Quan's mouth.

"A meaningless act; my sense of taste has long since..."

Before Huang Quan could finish speaking, he felt Bai Zhi stuff the cake directly into his mouth.

Chapter 464 Restoring the Sense of Taste in the Underworld

"Well…"

After the cake was put into his mouth, Huang Quan's first sensation was its softness, just like before.

But unlike before, it only had a tactile sensation, no taste, and even a fragrance, giving her a feeling of eating a sponge.

However, in the next moment, her sense of taste, which had been absent for a long time, returned with a sudden force.

When the cake gently touches the tip of your tongue, it's as if the whole world quiets down, leaving only the delicate and smooth texture and multi-layered taste experience.

The cake's outer layer is made of light, cloud-like cream that melts slowly in your mouth, releasing a subtle vanilla aroma, like the first rays of sunlight on a summer morning—warm and comforting.

Next came the moist and soft cake, each sugar grain dancing on her tongue, sweet but not cloying, perfectly awakening her long-dormant taste buds.

The jam interspersed in the cake brings a refreshing sweet and sour taste, like early summer cherries or ripe raspberries, making it a delightful surprise.

The chocolate chips are like an unexpected surprise; as you chew them, they release a rich cocoa aroma with a hint of bitterness, which further enhances the overall sweetness.

Finally, a subtle hint of lemon or orange refreshes and invigorates, creating distinct layers of flavor and leaving a lingering aftertaste.

This feeling, which had almost faded from her memory, suddenly appeared in Huang Quan's mind, leaving her stunned on the spot.

"How do the mini cakes taste?"

Bai Zhi smiled and put a piece in her mouth as well.

The perfect balance of layers, rich yet not overly sweet—it truly lives up to its reputation as a product of a dream. In reality, this kind of flavor would probably require an exceptionally skilled master to replicate.

Dreams are truly wonderful.

"How did you manage to do that?"

Huang Quan was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and looked at Bai Zhi with a complicated expression.

Others may not know, but doesn't she herself understand her own situation? As the messenger of nothingness, she is corrupted by nothingness, causing her to develop many problems, including forgetfulness, being directionally challenged, and losing her sense of taste.

She had also sought help from those Destiny Walkers who possessed great and abundant power, but ultimately discovered that under the power of nothingness, these healing powers had no effect on her at all.

I'm afraid even if the Envoy of Abundance were to come, he wouldn't be able to change this outcome.

But now, the girl in front of her had actually accomplished something she thought even the Envoy of Abundance couldn't do.

"It's a secret~"

"And this effect shouldn't last long, so eat more during the effective period."

Bai Zhi handed over the remaining small cakes.

Level 2 horse talismans have an immediate effect on most common ailments, but against negative effects at the level of a messenger, they are probably like demonic spirits, only able to be temporarily banished.

Huang Quan hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the cake plate that Bai Zhi handed over.

She hadn't tasted food like this in a very, very long time.

A moment later, after swallowing the last piece of cake, Huang Quan wiped his mouth with his hand, somewhat embarrassed.

"Sorry... wasn't that a bit rude?" she said, her face slightly flushed.

"No, it's more accurate to say it's quite cute."

Bai Zhi secretly regretted that if this were real life, she could have filmed this scene.

"Thank you. May I ask your name?" Huang Quan pursed his lips and said.

"Bai Zhi, the one next to me is Xing."

"Bai Zhi, I feel like I've heard of you somewhere before?"

Huang Quan thought for a moment, then frowned and said.

"Maybe it's from some news report."

Bai Zhi said nonchalantly that it was normal for many people in the universe to know her, because as a top power, the Dragon Lord was an important position in the Immortal Ship, and her coronation was broadcast live by various media outlets.

"I see... Bai Zhi, I hope to meet you again in the future, and I also hope that you will still remember me then."

Huang Quan said in a low voice, but a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

Since Angelica dahurica could temporarily suppress her loss of taste, it might also be immune to the power of nothingness, allowing her to still remember her after waking from the dream.

"This dream, caught in the cracks, is probably on the verge of collapse. To prevent you two from getting hurt... excuse me!"

Huang Quan took a deep breath and reached for the greatsword at his waist.

Then, as if time had been frozen, black and white appeared.

"hiss!!"

Bai Zhi's eyes widened as she snapped back to reality. She had only seen a flash of light, and the next moment, the surrounding environment had changed to a train.

The power of the Void Envoy was somewhat beyond her imagination. Bai Zhi felt that even if she had agreed to be Aha's envoy, her power would probably be difficult to compare with Huang Quan's.

The path of nothingness is too vast; it is almost the end of all things. If the power of all paths is 10, then nothingness probably occupies half of it.

"Xing, Xiaobaizhi, what's wrong with you two?"

Noticing the unusual behavior of the two, everyone on the train turned to look.

"It's nothing, I just felt like I was dreaming."

Bai Zhi rubbed her temples. When she drew her sword in the Yellow Springs, she vaguely felt that ethereal power, which was quite frightening.

That force still seems to linger around her, as if trying to dilute something and turn it into nothingness.

However, the power of the horse talisman is rapidly dissolving this nothingness, rendering it unable to exert its corresponding effect.

"We were so scared! We just saw you two suddenly close your eyes and then fall down. We thought something had happened."

March 7th, after feeling a bit scared, patted his chest.

"According to relevant records, we arrived in the Asdna system after the jump, which is the system where Pinocene is located."

Because of the massive leak of memories in the past, the memory essence here is quite concentrated. If one's resistance to memory essence is low, it is indeed possible to fall into a dream state.

Himeko came over and explained.

"Huh, we're here already? Himeko-sensei, did the train fly over my planet?"

Bai Zhi quickly asked.
