Chapter 452 The Firefly's Wondrous Adventure, The Grand Ceremony of Life Begins
"Is this the Huichangshi?"
Firefly, disguised as a passerby, infiltrated the Huichangshi.
Because of that announcement, the entire Pinocchio is in an uproar, and the Huichangshi, the venue for the Life Festival, is a mixed bag of people.
This gave Liu Ying the opportunity to sneak in.
Where are they?
Fireflies hid behind the wall, cautiously observing the people coming and going at the swimming pool.
Before leaving Pinocchio, she wanted to say a final goodbye.
Besides, her script wasn't finished yet.
Unexpectedly, Eve's mother eventually became the de facto controller of Pinocone.
"I won! Your treasure chest is mine!"
Suddenly, Firefly heard a familiar voice and immediately turned her head to look.
Xing was making a bet with an android, the stakes seemingly being the treasure chest behind him.
"It's a star!" Liu Ying was pleasantly surprised, but her surprise quickly turned sour.
"Who said I was going to gamble with you?" the android man said, looking completely bewildered.
Family members, who would understand? Suddenly a strange girl rushes out, takes a liking to your treasure chest, and even tries to take it away by playing rock-paper-scissors. It's just too inexplicable.
“I said it!” Xing said seriously.
"Are there no rules left?" the android man roared in fury.
"Rules? Rules are meant to be broken!"
As if the star had triggered a fixed phrase, the big stick was immediately pulled out.
"What, what are you going to do...?" The android man panicked.
At this moment, March 7th burst out, running at a speed of 180 km/h, like a general cutting off the waist.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, but she has a star core in her brain." March 7's voice gradually faded into the distance.
"A star core in the brain? That's such a vulgar insult," the android man remarked.
Seeing this from the corner, Liu Ying couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
Because she knew that Xing really did have a star core in his brain.
"However, it's best to avoid contact now..."
"Let's go take a look around first..."
With her false identity, Liu Ying continued to wander around the Huichangshi.
When she arrived at the amusement park inside the Huichangshi, she heard the familiar voice again.
"Which one should we destroy?"
"Dan Heng made a feint."
Xing is thinking about which balloon to pop.
"Um... let's try another place..."
Firefly turned around again and went to the bow of the ship.
"The scenery is truly beautiful..."
Fireflies silently admired the scenery; the night view of Pinocchio, illuminated by lights, was dazzling and incredibly prosperous.
Just then, a hand gently patted her shoulder.
Firefly turned her head warily, only to find it was Sambo.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Hunter? Why are you here all alone enjoying the scenery?" Sambo said with a grin.
Liu Ying was startled, worried that her identity would be exposed, but she still tried to remain calm: "I just came out for a walk to clear my head."
"Didn't you leave Pinocchio?"
Sambo grinned and leaned closer: "The Harmonious Music Ceremony has been renamed the Grand Ceremony of Life. How could I possibly miss out on such a lively and fun event?"
"Besides, Eve will be the owner here from now on, which means I, old Sambo, can do whatever I want here, hahahahaha..."
"You're right, aren't you, Miss Hunter?"
Firefly looked at him suspiciously: "No, you wouldn't."
Sambo shrugged: "How could that be?"
"I'm Eve's most loyal little brother, she definitely won't abandon me!"
"Just watch, I'm sure I can make Pinocchio a big and successful company."
After saying that, Sambo staggered away.
As Liu Ying watched his retreating figure, a sense of doubt arose in her heart.
No, that's impossible. He'll definitely be sent flying by Eve's mother.
Just as Liuying was pondering, Xing's voice came from beside her.
"Chirp, chirp, origami bird, little chirp..."
"That's enough, Xing! Get down here right now, you're being so embarrassing!!"
Xing lay on the bow of the boat, while March 7th below desperately pulled on her legs.
Soon, the two of them became the focus of the entire event.
"I... I think I should leave first... I feel like this isn't a good time."
Firefly awkwardly took a few steps back, then quickly ran away.
Although Xing is a little mentally unstable, this is just too abnormal!
"Hi, we meet again."
Suddenly, Xing appeared in front of Liu Ying without her noticing.
Liu Ying looked bewildered. "You, weren't you just catching origami birds?"
"You just saw me?" Xing stared at Liu Ying.
"Ahem, I just didn't have a chance to say anything," Liu Ying said guiltily.
"Yes, right, the Life Festival is about to begin. We still have a little time. Would you like to chat?" Liu Ying's cheeks flushed unconsciously.
"Of course, whenever you want... Ouch...."
Xing tried to look cool by leaning against the wall with one hand, but she didn't realize that the wall was a Chelsea man, and she fell to the ground.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
"Let's talk over there."
Liu Ying blushed and immediately grabbed Xing's hand and ran away.
Outside the deck.
The fireflies and stars walked and talked, stopping when their view became more expansive.
"Two 'murders,' a showdown with the company's envoy, the legacy of the nameless traveler, a remnant of 'Order' who dreams of creating a paradise in place of the Star God, and the Grand Prince determined to destroy Harmony—you even shattered your beautiful dream in the end… What a magnificent holiday!"
"Fortunately, you've successfully overcome these difficulties. Congratulations! Now that the Harmonious Music Festival has begun, it's time for you to set off again, isn't it?"
"I don't know if we'll be able to set off smoothly yet." Xing scratched his head.
The route meeting has not been held yet; it is estimated that it will be discussed after Eve takes over.
"There will always be a direction. After all, you are the pioneers on the path of 'exploration'..." Liu Ying said confidently.
“Before I joined the Star Core Hunters, Elio told me that this journey would teach me how to survive. He stopped there and left the rest for me to discover.”
"Although my illness is now under control, I still pay attention to every little detail in my scripts because they are all meaningful."
The firefly gazed up at the starry sky, for once she too was a part of that starry sky.
"Oh, by the way, I've always felt I owe you a formal apology, specifically regarding the 'Iris Family Artists' matter."
"Even the smallest lie can turn into a betrayal as sharp as a dagger... I'm sorry, Xing." Liu Ying felt extremely guilty.
"I don't feel hurt by it," Xing said nonchalantly.
Xing then said, "Besides, isn't it all because of Eve's mom?"
"She knew your identity all along, didn't she? You two actually teamed up to lie to me!" Xing proudly raised her little neck.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry." Liu Ying lowered her head shyly.
"It's okay, I've already asked her to treat me to fries."
"But you didn't do it on purpose, did you?" Xing smiled as she looked at Liu Ying.
“Really? It seems… Kaffa was right.”
"For me, 'concealing' is much easier than 'being honest'... but I also want to try and see if I can express my feelings like an ordinary person..."
The fireflies were very happy.
Suddenly, a sharp roar rang out from the bustling crowd.
"That's the girl! Everyone, get moving! Take down that wanted criminal before the Life Festival begins!"
These words caused an uproar among the crowd, like ants on a hot pan.
Several members of the hound family rushed out.
Firefly was startled and was about to run away, but Star stopped her.
"and many more."
Xing was not only saying this to Liu Ying, but also to the hunting dogs of the hound family.
"Who are you? How dare you block our way? Don't you know that our Hound family is responsible for security? How dare you harbor a criminal? Are you also...?"
Before the hound could finish speaking, he was suddenly kicked by the hound next to him.
"Are you blind? Can't you see this is our young lady?"
"M-Miss?" The hound looked bewildered.
“Nonsense, this is our most, most, most, most, most esteemed Pinocchio owner, Eve the nameless guest’s daughter.”
"Don't you want to live?"
A sharp-eyed hunting dog immediately stopped everyone and gave them a good scolding.
"What? She's the young lady from Pinocchio?"
"real or fake?"
"That Director Eve is already married? And her daughter is so grown up already?"
"Looks like I have no chance..."
The surrounding crowd was also whispering among themselves.
"Young Miss, what's wrong...?"
The hound watched Xing lead Liuying, unsure how to begin.
“This is my girlfriend.” Xing pointed at Liuying with his thumb.
"Girlfriend?" The hound was immediately dumbfounded.
"I, I..." Liu Ying's face flushed red instantly.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Xing stared at the hunting dog.
"No, no problem, Miss. Have fun..."
After saying that, the hound quickly led the people away, and also dispersed the audience present.
Xing continued walking, holding Liuying's hand. Liuying blushed and asked, "Xing... what did you just say?"
"Who, who is your girlfriend?"
Xing turned her head and stared at Liu Ying's face. "You."
"My female friends, or girlfriends for short."
"Is there a problem?" Xing asked seriously.
"This..." Liu Ying's mind went blank for a moment, and the blush on her face disappeared instantly.
"Oh, I see..."
"Otherwise what? What are you thinking?" Xing asked, puzzled.
"No, it's nothing!" Liu Ying became nervous.
At that moment, the clock struck twelve, signifying that it was midnight.
"Hurry up, let's go, the grand ceremony of life is about to begin."
Xing, holding Liuying's hand, quickly headed to the opening ceremony venue.
The opening ceremony of the Huichangshi airship.
All the important people in Pinocchio were already present.
At the last minute, Xing brought Liuying to sit in the front row.
The room fell silent, and the lights were turned off.
"Look, it's Miss Robin!"
"Miss Robin! Miss Robin! Long live the family! Long live harmony!"
As the robin walked onto the stage, the cheers from the audience erupted.
"Distinguished guests, fellow members of the family, ladies and gentlemen, friends from all corners of the galaxy—"
"It is a great pleasure to gather with you all to celebrate the most solemn ceremony of the Amber Age, the Harmony Ceremony."
"First of all, on behalf of the Pinocchio family branch and its five major branches, Interstellar Peace Corporation, and Anonymous..."
"And on behalf of...myself, I extend a warm welcome to all the guests!"
"As you have probably noticed, this year's Harmony Music Ceremony is quite extraordinary."
"Thanks to the efforts of various factions and companies, the Star Train, and other forces, this grand event is unprecedented in scale, with factions from all over the galaxy invited to the banquet..."
"Furthermore, the opening ceremony, which is traditionally held at the Pinocchio Grand Theatre, will now be held on the 'Halalite'—the very airship where you, our guests, are standing right now—"
"Let us give a round of applause and express our sincerest gratitude to Eve, the director of Interstellar Peace Corporation, for her selfless dedication to Pinocone!"
"What makes this year's ceremony so significant? As we all know, the 'Huichangshi' ship had to stop sailing due to an unexpected event in a dream, which sparked heated discussions at midnight..."
"But thanks to the efforts of Director Eve, Pinoctone has transformed from a dream into reality. The relaunch of the 'Galacticite' has also taken on new meaning."
"It represents the boundless, soaring dreams of the Pinocchio people!"
"And finally, there's one more reason—ladies and gentlemen, do you remember 'The Watchmaker'? In fact, the family and company put a lot of thought into this grand ceremony to commemorate this legendary tycoon—"
"Ragvolk Charles Mikhail, the 'Father of Pinocchio,' was one of the legendary, unsung heroes who laid the foundation for Pinocchio!"
"During the most confused years of the Star of the Grand Gathering, he and his companions descended from the heavens, teaching us the meaning of freedom through 'pioneering'; it was also their pioneering spirit in the cause of realizing our dreams that brought us the paradise we have today."
"It can be said that Pinocchio's remarkable achievements today are inseparable from the 'pioneering' spirit deeply rooted in our hearts as 'watchmakers.' Only by remembering this pioneering spirit can we live up to our mission and lead Pinocchio to glory!"
"The resolution of Pinocchio's crisis also owes much to the assistance of 'Pioneer'."
"Without the efforts of everyone on the Star Train and Director Eve, this grand celebration of life would not have been able to proceed smoothly."
"Therefore, with the unanimous agreement of the five major families, the Pinocone division has decided to transfer ownership of Pinocone to Ms. Eve Yuktrahiel, Honorary Director of Interstellar Peace Corporation."
"To commemorate the perilous years that Pinocchio endured, the millennia-old Harmony Festival will be officially renamed here—The Festival of Life!"
