Let me tell you — when the Astral Express crew said it was time to wrap up our Xianzhou Luofu chapter with “Obsequies Performed, A Long Road Ahead,” I thought I was ready. I had my luggage packed, my Stellar Jades counted, and my best Light Cones polished. But oh boy, March and Welt had a sneaky little suggestion: before we rocket off into the cosmos, why not swing by every memorable character for one last chat? What followed was a rollercoaster of emotions so intense I’m pretty sure my Trailblazer’s heart did backflips. The real reward wasn’t a shiny profile avatar (though that little Diting picture absolutely slays). It was the wealth of extra dialogues that made me feel like I’d carved a permanent spot in the Luofu’s story. If you haven’t done this yet in 2026, grab a tissue and follow my hyper-dramatic footsteps.

I started with Yanqing, positioned so conspicuously next to the Seat of Divine Foresight’s table that he might as well have had a neon sign saying “come duel me one last time.” The moment I said I was leaving, this icy swordmaster actually cracked a wistful smile. He rambled about how he’d been utterly schooled by our crew and begged for future rematches. I swear I saw a tiny sparkle in his eye—imagine, a prodigy of the Cloud Knights admitting he still has much to learn! I promised to train with him next time, and the air suddenly smelled of unspoken respect. Honestly, I wasn’t prepared for the feels.

Then I zipped over to the Exalting Sanctum and found Qingque in her natural habitat: the dining area near Synwood Pavilion, already lost in a game of Celestial Jade. She practically sparkled when she saw me, launching into an impassioned lecture about tile strategies. Can you believe she begged me and Welt to sit down for an impromptu lesson right then and there? “Just imagine,” she said, eyes gleaming, “future games among friends across the stars!” The girl has a one-track mind, and I adore her for it. I left her with a solid promise to master that impossible game, even if it takes me another three years.

Next, Bailu, the tiny dragon healer, was bouncing near the Court of Tranquility waypoint. When I mentioned farewell, she immediately dreamed up an adventurous snack heist at Aurum Alley. But then—oh, my heart nearly stopped—she grabbed my hand and reminded me of her standing offer: free treatments for every ailment under the sun, forever. “You can come back with frostbite from a frozen world or a stomach ache from weird alien food,” she chirped, “I’ll fix you right up!” If that’s not unconditional love, I don’t know what is.

Sushang was camped out near Starwatcher Avenue, practically vibrating with excitement next to the Sleepless Earl tea shop. She painted a glorious picture of her heroic dreams, all inspired by the Legend of the High-Cloud Quintet, and then—wait for it—she affectionately nicknamed Dan Heng “Silent But Deadly.” I choked on my own laughter. Before I could recover, she proposed a future tea gathering with the whole crew, a plan so precious she kept bringing it up like a dog with a favorite toy. I’m still smiling days later.

But then came Diting. Oh my word, Diting. This fluffball was near the Starskiff Jetty teleport point, and the moment I said “I’m leaving the Luofu,” the dog unleashed a symphony of whimpers and barks that shredded my soul. I tried to decipher what that tail-wagging emotional rollercoaster meant, and guess what? The little genius led me straight to a treasure chest! As a parting gift, I got his profile picture—a memento so adorable I set it as my icon immediately. I suspect Diting understands human speech better than most people. Man, that dog is something else.

Fu Xuan, the ever-all-knowing master of the Divination Commission, was predictably standing near the Matrix of Prescience by the Conclave Hall teleport. Before I even opened my mouth, she gave me that smug little smile and said, “I foresaw this farewell, you know.” She teased that my departures would be countless and my returns equally frequent, but then her tone softened into a genuine blessing for swift travels. It felt like being scolded and hugged at the same time. I walked away feeling like I’d just been read by the universe itself.

A short warp later, Yukong appeared in front of the Palace of Astrum near Earthrise Agora, looking so downcast I almost forgot how to breathe. She thanked me on behalf of the entire Sky-Faring Commission and promised resupply support whenever I needed it. The weight of her words hit me like a freight starship: she was giving me a home base in the stars, no questions asked. If I didn’t shed a single tear then, I’m lying.

Over at the Artisanship Commission, Master Gongshu was meditating amid the Arcane Moorage teleport point. He greeted me with a philosophical rumble about time being the only true distance between souls. “Many have left and never returned,” he mused. “But the promise of return itself bridges galaxies.” His words wrapped around me like a warm blanket. I promised I’d come back, and the old master nodded as if he already knew I’d keep that vow.

Xiaoyu, the budding alchemist, spotted me from a mile away near Synwood Pavilion and ran over, all starry-eyed. She thanked me for everything, then innocently referenced Dan Shu in a way that reminded me how young she still is. And yet, her resilience practically glowed—she’d taken those lessons about self-reliance to heart. “Don’t worry about me,” she said cheerfully, “I’ll make amazing potions and help everyone!” Bless her little soul.

Finally, I tracked down the Luofu Bullies skulking behind the Spare Time Book Shop. The self-proclaimed “Luofu Study Club” (their new forced title, much to their horror) tried to act tough, but I just crossed my arms and gave them the sternest look a Trailblazer can muster. “Leave Xiaoyu and the other kids alone,” I warned. They grumbled about Dan Shu and the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, and for once, they actually backed down. A small victory, but a victory nonetheless.

As I boarded the Astral Express, clutching Diting’s avatar and a heart swollen with memories, I realized something massive: these characters aren’t just lines of code in 2026’s most beloved space odyssey. They’re living, breathing souls who made my journey unforgettable. The wealth of extra dialogue during this farewell mission is the real hidden gem—don’t skip it, or you’ll miss a masterpiece of feels.
