Using the excuse of "preparing to make a ring using the Geothermal Ore," Natasha left first. Cocolia opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something to Hua Yi, but with Xing present, she couldn't speak freely and followed Natasha.
Galaxy Bat Hero, feeling a moment of regret that his lover hadn't managed to kill two birds with one stone and quickly establish the closest relationship with Natasha and Cocolia, then had no more reservations and buried his head in his arms.
Kisses and hugs.
Although it wasn't nighttime, and Hua Yi was just starting a new day, she was still clinging to him and rolled onto the bed in a bit of a willful manner, but a simple kiss was no problem.
With her arms around her beloved's neck, Xingquan treated herself like an accessory, telling him to focus on his work and not worry about her.
So Hua Yi took out his Smart Terminal and sent a message to Ruan Mei, who had already left the Space Station, letting Xing peek at the chat content.
" The Xianzhou Alliance is a superpower in the universe that believes in [Hunt]. The Herta Space Station and the Interastral Peace Corporation have limited communication with it. I've heard that Miss Ruan Mei has a fairly friendly relationship with the Xianzhou?"
"Yes. I was the one who obtained the information that the Herta wanted to gather on the Hunt Aeon Lan —is the next stop for the Astral Express the Xianzhou?"
"It's not decided yet, but I think it is."
"You want me to negotiate with the Xianzhou? Sure, that's fine, it's not a favor. I want your experience in Jarilo -VI, including all the energy parameters. The Herta has them, but if I ask her, I'll owe her a favor, which is troublesome."
"The data has been packaged and sent to you."
Ruan Mei has a keen understanding of human relationships and social dynamics, but she dislikes unnecessary interactions.
From the initial encounter on the Space Station platform area where it was hot on the outside and cold on the inside, to the initial encounter with the Cat Cat Cake in the Seclusion Zone, and then to the later warming up, has this genius now completely become warm-hearted?
No, it doesn't.
Hua Yi understood that she remembered the favors she had done for cooperating in the Star Shattering Kingworm breeding experiment and for designating a certain area in the Space Station as Cat Cat Cake's activity area.
It is different from mere enthusiasm.
However, the fact that Hua Yi can contact Ruan Mei at any time and get direct assistance from her is enough to make others envious.
There is an insurmountable gap between geniuses and mediocre people, let alone a hermit like Ruan Mei.
"I don't need you to negotiate with the Xianzhou. I just want to know the movements of the Minghuo Merchant Guild, which belongs to the Luofu Xianzhou's Shipyacht Department. To be more specific, I want to confirm the location of Tingyun, Pilot Envoy. If she leads a merchant group through the No Man's Land, please let me know."
"Good."
Ruan Mei's affirmative answer was brief and swift.
She did not inquire about Hua Yi's relationship with Tingyun, nor did she explore the reasons for doing so.
The Xianzhou Alliance is renowned for its terrifying strength during the War of Abundance. However, [Hunt] Lan is different from other Aeon. He has manifested his divine power many times, shooting out light arrows to annihilate the Abundance followers and shocking the world.
If Herta knew that Hua Yi wanted to obtain information about the Xianzhou Foxian, it would definitely have questioned him, but Ruan Mei was of a refined nature and did not delve into it.
"I will make some arrangements and transmit her coordinates to you in real time."
"It sounds like we don't need to ask the Xianzhou's permission?"
"No one will know. If you want Xianzhou to know, you can."
"Let's do as Miss Ruan Mei thinks, so as to avoid any unexpected changes. I'm not plotting anything bad."
A person who cares so much about the lives of ordinary staff members when fighting against the Star Shattering Kingworm simulator in the Seclusion Zone, even if he were to do something bad, wouldn't be truly evil.
Ruan Mei understood this and didn't investigate further.
It was just a small favor; the genius didn't even need to personally approach the Minghuo Merchant Guild or Tingyun himself. He could simply pay a little attention to the Xianzhou Shipyacht Department, confirm the departure arrangements, and then use observation devices to pinpoint a certain location in the Cosmic Expanse.
Hua Yi provided the constraint: No one in deep space.
Retrieving information about a specific life form in an environment free from other interference factors is much simpler than when Tingyun is moving around in the Xianzhou.
Xing hugged Hua Yi's neck and watched the entire chat history.
Who is Tingyun?
" The Foxian of Xianzhou Luofu, the Immortal Boat."
"You know her?"
" The Stellaron Hunter has Slave of Destiny, who claims to be able to glimpse destiny. I also have some knowledge of what will happen in the future... Tingyun will be attacked, the entire caravan will be wiped out, and she herself will be stripped of her identity and left on the verge of death. I hope to stop all of this."
"Oh, you're going to fight, huh? Take me with you then!"
"No."
Because it involves a Lord of Ruin, the Emissary of [Destruction].
They encountered Emissary of Propagation simulator at the Herta Space Station, faced off against the Stellaron at Jarilo -VI, and now they have to stop the Lord of Ruin. The enemies are getting more and more formidable.
Star is no match for Emissary; forcing himself into battle will only result in him getting beaten up.
Hua Yi decisively rejected the girl's request to fight, without intending to give a reason, such as "the opponent is Emissary, not someone you can deal with."
He didn't even mention the word "Emissary".
"You stay in Belobog then, I'll go alone, I'll be back quickly, it won't take too long."
Emissary!
If we consider the actions of mortals who receive the inspiration of the Aeon and grasp the power of destiny as stirring up a shattered droplet, then the magnificent feat of the Aeon driving their Sweeping Power to control destiny is like pushing a tsunami across mountains.
Between these vast and isolated realms, a select few who are favored by the Aeon can draw upon the Path energy with the Aeon' promise, and unleash Giant Waves that Erosion Coast; these are known as [ Emissary ].
The strongest below the Aeon.
If Hua Yi was merely an ordinary person with no combat power before arriving at the 4.5 Herta Space Station, truly possessing only the "talent" he had displayed so far, even if he could Suppress the Void, seal the Stellaron, and attract the attention of both the [Destruction] and [Preservation] Aeon, yet avoid their glances—
All of this still cannot become the basis for opposing the Emissary.
Fortunately, he was no ordinary person to begin with.
Inside the Space Station, during their first interaction with the Herta Automaton, the doll confidently demonstrated its ability to control Imaginary, crushing the Outworld Blaze. But that was merely the tip of the iceberg, utterly insignificant.
Hua Yi has already completed other worlds, more than one, but he has always kept a low profile and been cautious.
If we are to face Emissary in the future, to be on the safe side, we cannot simply aim to repel them.
It's alright.
Chapter 276 March 7th Keeps a Secret
Not long after, Hua Yi received the observation data sent by Ruan Mei.
According to the star map, the Minghuo Merchant Guild has already set sail from the Luofu Xianzhou, passing through several Planetary Civilization, and will soon enter a border region with sparse galactic orbits.
The God of Hunt roams the realms, eliminating Undying Abomination. He is one of the few Aeon with a history of multiple actions, hunting down specific groups.
The Xianzhou Alliance reveres Lan as the Divine Archer, and all the civilizations that have embraced the starry sky know that the Hunt arrows relentlessly pursue Abundance fiend, never giving up until death.
Unlike the Interastral Peace Corporation, the six Xianzhou ships did not set rules or promote them throughout the universe in areas such as commerce.
Since the end of the War of Abundance, the Xianzhou has been slowly sailing through many prosperous star systems, engaging in trade and cultural exchanges with various worlds, acting as a friendly ambassador.
But everyone knows that the Xianzhou Alliance is not to be trifled with.
The Abundance followers opposed them, and they fought many grand wars that burned the star sea, which also forged the fame of the Xianzhou.
To ordinary Planetary Civilization, the Xianzhou people are true immortals, the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry are heavenly soldiers and generals, and the Xianzhou is a veritable immortal realm. Countless people who yearn for immortality have exhausted their wealth and pursued it their whole lives, just to board the Xianzhou and seek the sixteen immortal destinies.
As for why the Xianzhou that hunts down the Undying Abomination is related to immortality, that's another complicated story.
In short, the Hunt arrows are enough to slaughter all the demons, and the Emperor's Bow's light arrows will surely destroy the mortal enemy.
This is a universal consensus.
But if the one eyeing the Minghuo Merchant Guild is a Emissary, everything will be different.
Hua Yi had already weighed the options in his mind.
He has made his way from the Herta Space Station to the present day, always avoiding being watched or locked onto by the Aeon.
Because only the Aeon can bring about unexpected changes, if they mark themselves on a destiny level, it would be detrimental to discerning the truth as an external observer.
However, if one only tries to avoid accidents and watches tragedies happen without stopping them, then Hua Yi would not be Hua Yi anymore.
No problem, just change the single-choice question to a multiple-choice question.
I must confront the Lord of Ruin, save Tingyun, and rescue all the innocent people from the Minghuo Merchant Guild whose names have never been mentioned. I must also continue to remain hidden in the realm of destiny, unaware of the Aeon.
The others in Kliperburg had no idea about Hua Yi's considerations. Xing was reliable when he needed to be; he didn't go around publicizing his contact with Ruan Mei or asking for the real-time coordinates of the Xianzhou Chamber of Commerce, as if he were about to do something big.
Peaceful times fly by, and before you know it, several days have slipped away.
Hua Yi kept an eye on it himself.
He didn't forget to show Asta around Belobog, and during their regular shopping time outside of dates, he would act as Topaz's guide, introducing the unique features of Winter City.
Hua Yi knew that three young female staff members Emily, Lamina, and Wen Shiling, had traveled a long way to Jarilo, partly for research and partly to see him.
We should spend more time with them.
When discussing the improvement plan for the Automatons with Serval, invite the clerks to listen in and ask for their opinions; when discussing with Natasha what kind of Geothermal Ore to choose to make the ring and what style to use, you also need the advice of the Department of Department of Universal Matter, and understand the girls' own aesthetic preferences.
Hua Yi will take the initiative when it's time to strike, and if the girl is more introverted, he will be the one who takes the initiative throughout.
Wen Shiling is still a little kid, so let's leave that aside for now. Emily and Lamina are typical examples of low offense and low defense.
Completely incapable of fighting.
Mingming was teary-eyed when she saw Hua Yi board the Astral Express. This time, she was so excited about the business trip that she couldn't sleep even before she left. But when she actually reunited with her white moonlight and he showed her some concern and praised her, she blushed and couldn't say a word.
If she were kissed on the cheek again, she wouldn't even be able to stand properly, and she was about to faint from embarrassment and joy.
It's okay, we can take it one step at a time.
The effectiveness of the Domain Anchor has been verified in the past two days. The Express crew left a Domain Anchor in Belobog City, making inter-galactic teleportation stable and reliable. In the future, the female staff members will have plenty of opportunities to come over or run onto the train to see Hua Yi.
Each activation of the Domain Anchor requires the consumption of Trailblaze energy, which is a limitation.
However, based on Hua Yi's current understanding of [The Path of Exploration], even if it means close communication between the two forces and bearing all the costs, it would be easy to allow a few specific people to come and go freely.
After all, if you really want to count, his Trailblaze journey can be traced back to before the Herta Space Station.
"Come on, stand here, I'll take a picture of you, not just one, we'll take another one later in a different place, and you can strike a different pose."
Following the instructions of March 7th, who was holding his precious camera, Hua Yi cooperated accordingly.
These past two days I've focused most of my attention on the Belobog girls and Asta, and haven't paid much attention to March 7th. But logically speaking, Miss [Zhao Xiangji] should have plenty of things to do.
Taking advantage of world peace, taking photos and chatting around – isn't that her publicly acknowledged hobby?
Why are you suddenly taking so many photos of me?
"It wasn't sudden, I've wanted to film this for a long time!"
When did you come up with that idea?
"Uh... cough cough, what I mean is, Pela needs your photos to draw~"
"I've never heard her mention it."
"Really, I'm embarrassed! Drawing good illustrations and putting them in light novels is a super popular thing. Now Pela's fame has even spread to the Herta 583 Space Station. Everyone thinks she is the top illustrator. Before the prize money for the Writing Contest was awarded, Pela had already received several commissions."
March 7th likes to chat.
Once they start chatting, they pour out everything they have to say.
Of course, the main reason was that she had no guard against Hua Yi.
"Some people even offered a lot of money to have Pela draw a script for you, with themselves as the female lead, but Pela was unmoved by the money and firmly refused—that was a really big sum of money, the Space Station staff member really went all out."
"Playing this big?"
"Yes, it's a pity Pela didn't agree... Oh!"
As March 7th got more and more excited, she realized she had spoken without thinking and revealed too many of the girl's secrets that Hua Yi shouldn't have known, so she quickly covered her mouth.
Regret, shame, panic—so many emotions welled up in her big, light blue eyes.
The girl covered her mouth for too long, almost suffocating, and had to awkwardly put her hand down.
"Um—you didn't hear anything just now, right?"
"If this makes you feel any better."
"Please, please, forget about what just happened. I really can't expose the existence of the Fan Group, I can't betray everyone!"
"Yes, I wasn't exposed. I had no idea."
