Chapter 474

Jing Yuan looked at Bai Heng, who was covered in dust but still smiling, and his tense heart finally relaxed. He smiled helplessly and walked towards Bai Heng.

"You are always so reckless. Fortunately, you were not hurt this time." Jing Yuan's tone contained a hint of blame, but more of concern.

Bai Heng stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm fine, but I feel sorry for my Xingcha." She turned her head to look at the still burning and smoking wreckage, a trace of regret flashing in her eyes.

"But it doesn't matter, I can fix it or make a new one." She returned to her nonchalant look, as if what she had just destroyed was just an insignificant little object.

"Aren't you worried that the loss of control just now was caused by some abnormal reason?" Jing Yuan asked with a frown, his eyes became serious. As the future General Luofu, he always remained vigilant to any potential danger.

Bai Heng blinked her eyes. "What could be the reason? Maybe there's just a small problem. Don't be so nervous, Jingyuan." She jumped to Jingyuan's side and patted his shoulder. "Look, I'm fine. And I believe in my driving skills. There will be no big problem."

However, Jing Yuan was not affected by her optimism. He turned and walked towards the wreckage of the Star Chariot and examined it carefully. The air around him was filled with a burnt smell and the wreckage was emitting bursts of heat. Jing Yuan ignored all this and searched for possible clues in the ruins.

Seeing this, Bai Heng's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. She tilted her head, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed him. "Is it really that serious? Maybe it's just a small accident." She muttered softly beside her. Although there was still a hint of indifference in her tone, her pace unconsciously quickened and she came to Jing Yuan.

Looking at Jing Yuan's focused expression, she also squatted down and checked with him. The heat around her made beads of sweat appear on her forehead. The sweat slid down her cheeks, leaving several marks on her dusty face.

The two men spent a long time studying the steaming wreckage, rummaging through various broken parts and charred fragments.

They carefully examined every suspicious point and left no clues.

Finally, after some effort, they discovered the problem. It turned out that the Star Raft was a semi-finished product and many parts had not been assembled.

Those missing parts left obvious gaps in the wreckage, like a puzzle with key pieces missing, making the structure of the entire Starship fragile.

The missing parts in some key locations resulted in unstable energy transmission, which was most likely the direct cause of the Star Raft's loss of control. Bai Heng looked at this with surprise in her eyes. She did not expect that the Star Raft she was driving would have such a serious problem.

"Oh, may you be safe and sound every year~" Bai Heng said, trying to use this witty remark to ease the solemn atmosphere at the moment.

Her voice was still trembling slightly, and although she tried hard to appear relaxed, one could still hear a hint of uneasiness deep in her heart.

She reached out her hand and gently patted her chest, as if to soothe her heart that was beating wildly due to shock.

He looked like a child who accidentally broke his favorite toy and was trying to comfort himself not to take it too seriously.

...

On this day, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing gently. Five people gathered in a quiet garden in Xianzhou. The garden was full of colorful flowers that bloomed and emitted bursts of refreshing fragrance.

Butterflies dance gracefully among the flowers, contrasting beautifully with the surrounding scenery.

Dan Feng leaned quietly under an ancient tree, his posture was upright and his temperament was as cold as frost.

The trunk of the big tree is thick and covered with mottled marks left by time, and its branches spread out in all directions, interweaving into a lush green shade.

Dan Feng looked into the distance with indifferent eyes, his thoughts seemed to drift to an unknown distance. Although he did not drink, his cool temperament was like mellow wine, which was hard to ignore. He seemed out of tune with the lively atmosphere around him, but he was wonderfully integrated into this garden, becoming a unique landscape.

Jingliu was sitting on a stone bench not far away, which had been polished smooth and round by time.

She held the Disintegrated Sword given to her by Ying Xing in her hand, her eyes focused and deep, as if she was having a silent communication with the sword.

She wiped the sword carefully, and every movement was extremely gentle, as if she was treating the most precious treasure in the world. She moved slowly along the sword with a soft cloth, not missing any flaws. Every wipe was filled with deep cherishment for the sword.

The sword flashed coldly in the sunlight, like an ice-cold mirror, reflecting her stern and beautiful face.

Her delicate facial features looked even more cool and elegant against the cold light. Her high nose bridge, deep eyes, and tightly closed lips all revealed a unique charm that kept people at a distance.

"Don't relax too much. Danger may come again at any time." She said in a flat tone. Although her words were serious, there was also a barely perceptible sense of ease in them. That ease seemed to flow inadvertently from the depths of her eyes, adding a different color to her stern appearance.

Ying Xing was pulled by Bai Heng to tend the lawn in the garden. Ying Xing had a cold expression and was focused on the task in his hands. His movements were skillful and orderly, and every stroke of the mowing was precise and accurate.

His stern face looked even more angular under the sunlight, and his deep eyes revealed a kind of concentration and calmness.

Bai Heng was like a cheerful little bird, chirping non-stop in the garden, in stark contrast to Ying Xing's desolation.

"Look over there, that flower is so big!" She excitedly pointed to a giant blooming flower not far away. The petals of the flower were thick and full, and the colors were so rich that they seemed as if they had been heavily painted, exuding charming charm.

"And over there, there's a very beautiful bird." She pointed to a colorful bird in the sky. The bird's feathers were sparkling with colorful light in the sun, and it looked like it was inlaid with gems and was flying freely in the air.

Although Ying Xing did not respond to Bai Heng's words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was also infected by Bai Heng's enthusiasm.

Jing Yuan looked at his companions in front of him with a smile on his face.

He sat at the stone table in the middle of the garden. The stone table was made of a huge smooth stone slab with exquisite patterns on it. He placed the carefully prepared snacks on the table one by one. Those snacks were exquisite. There were small and exquisite pastries with fresh fruits on them. The fruit fragrance and the sweet fragrance of pastries were perfectly blended. There were also uniquely shaped shortbreads that exuded an enticing aroma. The layers of shortbread were like blooming flowers. There were also candied nuts of various flavors, colorful, like gems scattered on the plate.

"Everyone, come over and take a break. It's a rare relaxing day today, so don't waste this wonderful time." He greeted everyone with a smile.

When everyone heard Jing Yuan's words, they all gathered around.

Everyone sat around the stone table, and laughter echoed in the garden, diluting the originally deserted atmosphere.

Dan Feng picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. The dessert melted in his mouth, and the sweet but not greasy taste spread on the tip of his tongue, like a clear spring in the mountains flowing through his taste buds.

He nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "Jingyuan, your skills are getting better and better." His voice was cold, but his words were full of sincerity.

"That's right. Everything Jingyuan prepares is always the best." Bai Heng agreed. She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of dessert and put it in her mouth. Her cheeks bulged instantly, like a greedy little squirrel. She looked very cute.

Her eyes narrowed into slits due to smiling, and she chewed the snack contentedly. She looked so happy as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with her.

Jing Liu looked at Bai Heng, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, "You, eat slowly, don't choke."
