"I see... How about I ask Hua Yi to treat her? His medical skills are nothing short of miraculous, going beyond mere technique. Could it be that Tingyun has been ambushed by Buli Ren?"
Chapter 366 Reversing the Mark of Destruction
Not long after, Feixiao brought Tingyun to visit Hua Yi.
Although it was called a visit, this mansion originally belonged to Tingyun, and now it's almost like returning to one's own home.
"My benefactor."
However, she showed no disrespect and greeted Hua Yi with gratitude and a graceful bow.
"Some time ago, I was attacked by Buli Ren. It was only thanks to your help that I was able to stand up properly. Otherwise, under such a terrifying energy beam, I would probably be reduced to ashes."
Oh, it's because of this that he calls me his benefactor.
Hua Yi thought there was something wrong with his method of sealing his Remembrance.
" Miss Tingyun is Pathstrider. For Buli Ren to cause you trouble is like kicking a hornet's nest. His conspiracy is doomed to fail. Saying that he will be completely destroyed is an exaggeration."
"My benefactor, just call me by my name. How have you been lately..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Feixiao waved his hand, interrupting Tingyun and Hua Yi's conversation.
"You can be as polite as you like later, but now is not the time— Hua Yi, please check if there's something wrong with Tingyun's head, please."
" The Shogun!"
Tingyun cast a resentful glance at Feixiao.
How dare you speak ill of me in front of my benefactor!
Sky Strike General received a protest from the Pilot Envoy and made supplementary remarks.
"It was during the attack by Buli Ren that I suspected Tingyun was poisoned. She herself described that there was a bloody mist filling the streets at the time. That was wolfsbane, which can awaken the instinctive fear of living beings. And recently she has also had headaches—could it be that wolfsbane has invaded her brain?"
"Hiss." Hua Yi gasped, then quickly adopted a serious expression, exuding the aura of a professional doctor. "Your line of thinking is quite unique; it seems quite possible."
"Yes, she didn't take it seriously, saying that her headache was very mild and wouldn't affect her work or life. The reason why the Buli Ren were able to invade countless star systems, besides their physical strength, was also largely due to the wolf poison. Before the war even started, the resistance had already lost their fighting spirit."
Feixiao treated Tingyun, who was reluctant to seek medical help, as if he were a parent bringing a sick child who wanted to tough it out for a consultation.
"Uh... you're not going to have to fight with Tingyun to determine her condition and then treat her, are you?"
"You guess."
From the very beginning, Hua Yi had been teasing the fox, but Feixiao didn't realize it and took it as an affirmative answer.
The Shogun pondered as he sized up Tingyun.
Her sleeves fluttered, adorned with tassels, and her black hair was neatly combed; she had looked in the mirror repeatedly before coming.
What a quiet and demure lady.
Although the Bone-Gathering Fan she held could barely serve as a weapon, and could be dealt with by a few fans when encountering alien beasts during long-distance trade voyages, it was still too difficult for the Foxian to fight Hua Yi.
The difference is huge.
"Then go easy on me."
Feixiao aside to make way, signaling to Hua Yi to be more considerate of her.
"??"
Tingyun was filled with questions.
"My benefactor, General, what are you talking about?"
"You have no idea, Hua Yi goes to the doctor..."
"Now it's my turn to call a halt. I urge Sky Strike General to stop making wild guesses. I already know the details of Tingyun's condition and can cure her immediately."
"Huh?"
Remembering that it was he who had taken the initiative to propose the sparring, Feixiao's fox ears perked up, realizing that there had been a misunderstanding.
"Then hurry up and treat Tingyun. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."
"Please excuse me for a moment."
"Oh, I still have to avoid it?"
Feixiao's eyes widened.
She and Tingyun were both girls, and Yukong had practically watched Tingyun grow up. In a way, Feixiao practically a senior to Tingyun, yet now she was being asked to avoid them—
"Are you planning to perform brain surgery on Tingyun in order to achieve a sterile environment?"
"No, you should just avoid the situation and follow the doctor's orders."
"...OK."
Feixiao nodded in agreement, turned and walked out of the study, his expression full of trust.
As the door opened and closed, it was clear that only a man and a woman were alone in the room.
Tingyun seemed a little embarrassed, as if she had thought of something.
"My benefactor, what brings you here?"
"Your headache has another cause."
The Godfall Sword was placed in a corner of the study. Hua Yi had been studying it for so many days, and with the Lord of Ruin Phantylia, taking the initiative to act as the observation sample, his understanding of the path of [Destruction] had already reached a level that others could not imagine.
The Destruction Mark on Tingyun's body has been properly resolved.
Instead of erasing it directly, the nature of the traces left by the Lord of Ruin are reversed, turning the Traces left by the Cloud-Stopping Emperor into fuel for the Tingyun to become stronger.
To outsiders, this can be explained as a blessing in disguise.
As for suppressing the Lord of Ruin, as long as Tingyun has basic restraint and doesn't spread it recklessly among the Xianzhou Luofu masses or even throughout the entire universe, and only tells Feixiao to hear it, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
Anyway, I've already been treated as Emissary of The Hunt.
Slightly stronger than an ordinary Emissary, it's reasonable that he could subdue Phantylia, who isn't known for his martial prowess.
At the very least, being in Xianzhou Luofu means you can still intervene if things go in an unexpected direction.
"Actually, our first meeting wasn't on this Luofu Xianzhou."
Hua Yi's thoughts stirred slightly, creating Path ripple, subtle and inconspicuous, so much so that Feixiao in the corridor did not even notice anything amiss.
This force is not an attack, but rather an optimization and adjustment.
After arriving in Xianzhou Luofu, Hua Yi Mara-struck one more and more troublesome illness after another. In comparison, Phantylia's Destruction Mark became the easiest to solve.
Without even needing to mobilize the grand rhythm of the Xianzhou, focusing on [Destruction], adding a couple of parts [Hunt] and half a part [ Abundance ], one can transform the true meaning of destruction hidden in Tingyun into an opportunity.
Meeting the emerald green eyes of yet another vixen, and sensing the confusion within them, Hua Yi gave her a comforting look, then lowered his fingertip and touched Tingyun's forehead.
The next moment, a miracle, as if defying death to bring about life, unfolded in the room.
This place isn't just home to a lone man and woman; there's also Alisa riding a Supreme Guardian, and Phantylia imprisoned by the Godfall Sword.
One of them would never do anything to harm Hua Yi's interests, and the other has completely lost her freedom; any reaction they make is futile.
Thus, they were able to witness the spectacular sight.
It's not about [Destruction] in the left hand and [Hunt] in the right; it's missing [ Abundance ].
Three destinies appear simultaneously at Hua Yi's fingertips, pulsating harmoniously and gradually achieving balance.
Then it condensed into a point of light and entered Tingyun's brow.
The destructive force lurking within her underwent a transformation, and the tightly sealed box of Remembrance finally opened slowly as the right key turned the lock.
Chapter 367 Tingyun regains her Remembrance and grows a tail.
At that time, the fleet encountered...
The scenes unfolding at the edge of the starry sky initially appeared fragmented and blurry, but were quickly pieced together to become complete and clear.
I remember now, Tingyun remembers everything.
The final voyage of the Minghuo Merchant Guild was far from peaceful, and it was much more than just encountering a solar storm. The appearance of the Lord of Ruin caused even the stars to go out.
Faced with such an existence, a mere caravan had no chance of resistance. Even the main force of the Cloud-to-Cloud Cavalry, without the command of the Emperor's Bow Heavenly General, would only be unilaterally crushed by the Emissary of the Ashes.
As a result, Tingyun survived, no one in the entire fleet died, and everyone returned home safely.
It was Hua Yi who arrived in Rainbow Car and forcefully suppressed a supreme Lord of Ruin.
"My benefactor..."
With her Remembrance fully restored, Tingyun didn't have time to care about the elimination of her hidden ailment. She felt a unique sense of ease, her eyes trembling violently as she stared intently at Hua Yi.
He had already shown himself the kindness of being saved twice.
"You remember now?"
"Yes."
Hua Yi's figure was reflected in her emerald eyes. Tingyun spoke very softly, as if afraid that if she raised her voice even slightly, he would disappear.
Just like back then in the starry sky.
"I... I won't tell anyone about the salvation you gave me in the desolate wilderness of the universe, so please don't seal my Remembrance anymore, okay, my benefactor?"
Despite being a beautiful fox spirit, she looked timid and pitiful compared to when Hua Yi suppressed Phantylia.
At that time, she didn't know her savior's personality well enough. She only thought that he was Emissary of the Cloud-Chasing Heavenly Lord traveling around the universe and happened to pass by, saving her, an insignificant ant.
The Exalted Beings, second only to the Aeon, waved his sleeve, the Protection a few specks of dust.
He was too strong and mysterious. At that time, Tingyun didn't dare to say a word. Only when she discovered that her savior intended to erase her Remembrance did she muster all her courage and beg him not to let her forget him completely.
Now, recalling everything, my first reaction isn't gratitude, but rather a renewed plea to Hua Yi not to seal this part of my Remembrance anymore—
I'm so greedy, I keep asking for more and more.
But I really don't want to forget it again...
Tingyun's fox tail drooped low, making it look pitiful.
"Okay."
Hua Yi agreed readily.
The situation is different now.
Now that he has helped Xianzhou Luofu once, establishing a reliable relationship of shared hardship, not to mention that Feixiao, Huai Yan, Jing Yuan, and other Emperor's Bow Heavenly General keep the secret of suppressing the Lord of Ruin and prevent the news from leaking out—
Even if the Antimatter Legion came knocking on their door in search of the missing monarch, the Xianzhou Alliance would probably just fight them off.
Moreover, Phantylia was suppressed in the desolate wilderness of the starry sky, and did not appear in Xianzhou Luofu at all, so it is impossible to form a chain of evidence for reasoning.
Moreover, the vixen in front of them even offered to keep the secret.
"I believe you, Tingyun."
Hua Yi smiled and spoke in a gentle and kind tone, showing none of the arrogance one would expect from a powerful being facing a weakling.
He's so handsome, Tingyun was completely mesmerized.
My benefactor, may I give you a kiss?
Of course, these words cannot be said aloud.
Too greedy and insatiable.
She, this vixen, never brought disaster to the country or its people.
But Hua Yi seems to have been captivating people's hearts all the way from the Herta Space Station.
This is what the Galaxy Succubus is like.
Tingyun could feel her heart racing, her breathing becoming irregular, and her face burning.
Take a deep breath, clear your mind, and focus on one thought.
