The Person Tingyun Doesn't Want to Forget / A Triumphant Return, Followed by Coffee as a Consolation

"Cloud-Chasing Heavenly Lord" is the respectful title given by the Xianzhou people to the Trailblaze Aeon Akivili. She regarded me as the Emissary of the Trailblaze.

Hua Yi did not intend to refute it. The Imaginary Energy surged and evolved into something similar to [Memory], but it was by no means the authority of destiny.

"I came here to save those who needed saving, and I even managed to capture a Emissary of Destruction while I was at it. It was quite a fruitful haul."

Chapter 282 The Person Tingyun Doesn't Want to Forget

Even before Hua Yi appeared, Tingyun was already having a revolving door of friends.

The Jade Bracelet shattered, the bell rolled away, and the folding fan turned to ashes. All the cherished possessions, along with his own life, were destroyed.

That's how it should develop.

It's a pity that this carefully maintained tail has ultimately become nothing but fleeting clouds...

It's a pity I didn't get to see Lord Yukong fly into the sky with the bow I gave her; that must have been her greatest wish.

As the slideshow progressed, a dazzling train appeared out of nowhere, and the passengers who disembarked completely reversed the situation.

In the blink of an eye, what should have been a revolving lantern seemed to have turned into Phantylia?

Tingyun used great willpower to temporarily control her emotions, lest the extreme ups and downs drain her energy and cause her to lose the last bit of strength to stand.

She was unable to keenly perceive the flow of Imaginary; her thoughts were in disarray.

The Emissary who arrived by train seemed to have mentioned other destinies and was still exploring [Destruction].

Could it be that after the fall of Cloud-Chasing Heavenly Lord Akivili, [The Path of Exploration] not only did not weaken, but instead grew stronger than ever before, and without the restraint of the Aeon, Emissary has been able to Trailblaze other realms of destiny?

Ugh, this isn't something I should be thinking about!

Realizing the implications, the Foxian- girl gasped and spoke urgently.

"I will not disclose any information about you to outsiders—not even internally."

"It's no longer a matter of whether you reveal it or not. The Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry and the members of the Minghuo Merchant Guild witnessed the arrival of Phantylia, and a great battle is about to begin. How are you going to explain this after you return to the Luofu Xianzhou? The subsequent developments are not something you can decide."

Hua Yi spoke calmly.

"Although I arrived in time, Phantylia did not actually make a move, the Rhythm of Destruction has already invaded the bodies and consciousness of all of you. Only by stripping away this impurity along with your Remembrance and letting it drift away with the wind can you be kept safe and sound."

It's not necessarily the dead who can keep a secret.

You can also simply erase the relevant Remembrance.

At the level of destiny, there are two methods: altering or stealing [Memory], or permeating them with [Nihility].

Hua Yi is familiar with [Memory], but doesn't want to get involved with [Nihility] too early.

However, neither of these methods is actually applicable, so it's better to resort to means outside of the mission at this point.

"Don't worry, there won't be any pain. The rest of the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry and the Minghuo Merchant Guild are already asleep. It's your turn. When you wake up, you'll just feel like you've just experienced a solar storm, and some of the equipment was damaged as a result."

He is stronger than the Lord of Ruin.

But his eyes were not cold at all.

It looks great.

Meeting Hua Yi's gentle gaze, and knowing that he had no reason to deceive her and had truly come to save people, including herself and the entire merchant group, Tingyun was overwhelmed by indescribable emotions and momentarily lost her composure.

"Could you please not take away my Remembrance?"

They actually dared to bargain with the Emissary of the Trailblaze and savior.

"I... I really won't tell anyone..."

The trope of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress is always captivating.

I want to remember you.

Even if this is the only time we meet in this lifetime.

Faced with the destructive power of Phantylia, Tingyun had maintained basic rationality, but now she seemed to have become completely emotional.

Forget about unnecessary calculations of profit and loss; only a trembling gaze remains.

Pitiful, weak, and pleading.

Seeing the Foxian- girl's expression, Hua Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I feel like I've become the villain."

"I am deeply grateful for Tingyun great kindness."

"As I said, this Remembrance is already mixed with the Rhythm of Destruction, and forcibly preserving it would be very painful."

"Small..."

As for me, I don't think this is painful.

After all, those who ask for nothing in return and are willing to go out of their way for others are rarer than air in a vacuum on a dangerous journey across the Milky Way.

Having such special Remembrance is truly a wonderful thing.

Tingyun opened her mouth, wanting to continue explaining.

But realizing that the person in front of him was a transcendent being capable of suppressing the Lord of Ruin, and that the difference in their status was immeasurable, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say the second half of his sentence.

This is something I'll regret for the rest of my life.

No, considering that no Remembrance can be left, there won't even be a chance to regret it later.

"..."

"I'm clearly doing a good deed, so why are you almost losing your pearls?"

Oh no, it's really fallen now.

Hua Yi raised his hand.

Not long ago, the same action was taken towards Phantylia.

With a single grasp from afar, destruction was reversed, and the Imaginary fluctuated, compressing the magnificent figure of the Lord of Ruin into the size of a fist.

Now he raises his hand, but there is no power or aura brewing within it.

He simply wiped Tingyun's eyes with his sleeve, gently.

The differences between people are truly vast.

"There's another option. I'll temporarily seal this part of your Remembrance, you..."

"The woman wants to choose this one!"

"You will experience mild headaches from time to time in the future."

"It's okay, there's no problem at all!"

"In the future, I will go to the Luofu Xianzhou, and when the time is right, I will help you deal with the Rhythm of Destruction."

Tingyun looked pleasantly surprised, then saw Hua Yi's finger tapping her forehead, followed by an irresistible drowsiness.

He didn't seem to mention how to deal with the closed Remembrance at the end?

My benefactor...

I don't want to forget, I can't forget.

The Foxian- girl looked pitiful, struggling to keep her eyes open, wanting to see Hua Yi one more time, but in the end, she couldn't overcome the Imaginary Authority with her willpower alone, and fell back onto the spaceship behind her, sinking into a deep sleep.

Hua Yi gazed at Tingyun's sleeping face.

Little Pearl dried herself off, her eyes were slightly red, and even though you couldn't see her emerald green eyes, she still looked pitiful.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

I really can't handle it when a girl cries.

With a sigh, Hua Yi controlled the Imaginary Energy, turning it into a dark red color, and infiltrated the ship's terminal. He modified all the records in the Database from the time of Phantylia's appearance to the present, so that the Minghuo Merchant Guild would not discover any suspicious points when the Shipyacht Department checked the navigation logs after returning to the Luofu Xianzhou.

We must also erase the lingering remnants of Destruction in the starry sky.

Fortunately, there are no inhabited planets nearby in this cosmic frontier, so there is no need to worry about the arrival of the Lord of Ruin affecting other living beings and leaving traces.

To ensure everything went perfectly, Hua Yi waved his sleeve, Trailblaze Power transformed into a train of light, carrying him back to Jarilo -VI.

[The Path of Exploration] path, the good thing is that Akivili is not here.

"Hmm..."

About ten minutes later, Tingyun woke up from her dream and looked around in confusion.

"I'm here—oh right, the merchant corps encountered a solar storm and needs to check the condition of the ships and whether anyone is injured."

strangeness.

My body is so tired, but I don't feel mentally tired.

Chapter 283 Triumphant Return, Then Receiving Coffee as a Relief

"You're back."

In the coffee shop of Kliperburg, Himeko cautiously and concernedly looked Hua Yi up and down, who had been away for some time.

His clothes were spotless, and his expression was completely normal. The only difference from when he left was that he was carrying the Godfall Sword on his back.

Did they go out to vent their anger?

The coffee cup that she always had in her hand during her free time had long been put down. The Navigator stood up, came to Hua Yi's side, glanced at the Crimson Greatsword with her beautiful eyes, and made sure that there was no dark color on the blade, nor any nicks from a collision with a powerful enemy, before she was relieved.

It seems that Hua Yi has gone to the Snowfield again to eliminate the Voidranger and ice sculptures.

During a routine patrol, the Silvermane Guards discovered Legion Fiends. Before they could report it to the Pathstrider, the Savior took the lead and rushed to the front lines.

Although the Antimatter Legion is ruthless and has swept through countless star systems, we can handle ordinary Voidranger and even Star-Body Weapon like the Doomsday Beast. Why do you have to do it yourself?

Star, March 7th, Bronya, Seele and the others... who wouldn't want to do something to make things easier for you?

Himeko only muttered these thoughts to herself; there was no way she would say them aloud.

I feel sorry for him.

Just like when a husband finishes a hard day's work, his wife stands in the entryway to greet him, saying "Welcome home" and considerately taking off his coat.

Unaware of how ambiguous her thoughts were, the Navigator treated the Godfall Sword like a coat to be taken off, picked it up, placed it against the corner of the wall, and then, with her eyes fixed on Hua Yi, pulled him down to sit.

"Try it and see if the coffee I made this time suits your taste—is it already cold? Then I'll make another cup; black coffee tastes better when it's hot."

"It's alright, it's warm."

Hua Yi picked up the exquisite cup and took a small sip.

The coffee was piping hot before we set off, but it's cooled down now, with little warmth remaining.

The main issue was the communication with the Tingyun, which took up some time.

If Hua Yi had simply erased Tingyun's Remembrance and ignored all her words and emotions, just like he had done with the other members of the Minghuo Merchant Guild, he could have returned much earlier.

He still couldn't bear to treat the cute girl coldly.

However, it doesn't matter if it's Phantylia instead.

Although Himeko just took off the Godfall Sword and seemed to have made contact with a supreme Lord of Ruin, the sword body, formed from Imaginary, was actually Wall of Sighs, forming a cage. Phantylia had no chance of reaching out from the cracks in the prison.

Even if Hua Yi wields this sword to slaughter the Antimatter Legion, neither the Voidranger nor the Doomsday Beast will be able to discover that the divine sword possesses a spirit, or is still their supreme ruler.

"How is the coffee this time?"

"Bitterness followed by a sweet aftertaste, and a hint of... fruit acidity?"

"I read online that proper heat can bring out the acidity in black coffee, making it taste better, more complex, and layered, so I gave it a try."

When coffee was mentioned, Himeko's attention was completely diverted.

"At first, I tried adjusting the temperature of the coffee machine, but I found that the taste did not change significantly."

"It's to be expected that there will be no change. With so many Coffee Beans, the bitterness builds up and has already become the dominant flavor, leaving no room for other flavors to shine. So, what did you add to it?"

"Lemon, I added lemon!"
