Mistaken for an Emanator of Abundance

The Jianmu has been reborn, and the followers of the Medicine Lord's Secret Society rejoice.

Just then, a Vidyadhara returned from a remote star system with a girl he called an "Emanator of Abundance."

The girl is compassionate and cannot bear to see anyone suffer. She loves helping anyone in need, and if you ask her for help, she will lend a hand.

What convinces the Vidyadhara even more that she is an Emanator of Abundance is her ability to grant long life to short-lived species, and even restore the reason of those afflicted by mara.

"The Medicine Lord is merciful; the Jianmu flourishes. The Vidyadhara are of one heart, and together we ascend to immortality." The Vidyadhara gaze at the girl with fervor, convinced that she can lead the Medicine Lord's Secret Society to the true path of immortality.

To that end, they pour a secret medicine that transforms people into long-lived species into the food and water of the Xianzhou, intending to swell their ranks, or rather, create more abominations of Abundance.

The unusual activity of the Medicine Lord's Secret Society alerts Jing Yuan and the others that something is wrong.

But the girl at the center of the affair, the one responsible for it all, only wants to help people.

Desire gives rise to calamity, and good intentions become twisted into evil. Helping without understanding right from wrong or cause and effect makes the girl's good deeds a sin as well.

But there is one line the girl must never cross: killing.

"Murder is absolute evil!" the girl says, and she lives by it. "Those who do evil must be punished!"

The Astral Express crew came to help the Xianzhou, but since the incident has not yet been resolved, they are temporarily staying aboard the Xianzhou Luofu. March 7th plans to wander around the Xianzhou and take some photos, while Stelle inexplicably accepts a mission to infiltrate the Medicine Lord's Secret Society and goes undercover.

On her way back to the Ten-Lords Commission after her undercover mission fails, Stelle meets a girl named Chuyue.

The girl is very helpful. Her only flaw is that she seems unable to tell men and women apart.

One day, the girl meets Dan Heng, who is walking around the Xianzhou in his original form. She looks at Dan Heng's chest, her expression slightly puzzled, but after looking up at his face and long hair, she firmly addresses him as "Miss."

March 7th and Stelle, who are walking alongside them, can't help bursting into laughter.

The girl has her own way of telling people apart, and she is especially stubborn. For a long time, she remains convinced that long-haired Dan Heng is a woman, and is very puzzled about why Dan Heng can change his gender.
