Jingliu and Screwllum Hitch a Ride [Second Update]

"Is this okay?"

She spoke loudly to Ji Yuan, panting heavily.

"Um... I'm here to ask Lord Fu Xuan for leave."

Ji Yuan was both amused and exasperated.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan glared angrily at Ji Yuan, looking around as if he wanted to find a rock to smash Ji Yuan open.

Why didn't that bastard say so sooner?

Seeing that Fu Xuan was about to lose his temper, Ji Yuan quickly thought of something else to attract Fu Xuan's attention.

He brought out his Mystic Eye.

Because Ji Yuan successfully completed the mission and achieved the goal, the Mystic Eye can evolve.

Now,

It is time for evolution.

The Mystic Eye on Ji Yuan's forehead emitted a light of wisdom, and to Fu Xuan's astonishment, Ji Yuan's Mystic Eye began to change. It grew larger, and mysterious Mystic Eye appeared around it.

Looking at Ji Yuan's even more mysterious Mystic Eye on his forehead, Fu Xuan was speechless.

Ji Yuan, you bastard, how can you be so Mystic Eye as yourself?

Just touching my thigh will cause a change in your Mystic Eye. If I were to sacrifice even more, would your Mystic Eye continue to improve?

No way!

Fu Xuan clenched his fists, and before she could get angry, he quickly asked Ji Yuan, "You, what are you asking for leave for?"

"Um, Lord Diviner, I want to go and bring Tingyun back."

Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"So that's how it is."

At this moment, Fu Xuan also thought of Tingyun.

Ji Yuan does have a girlfriend.

Thinking about this matter, Fu Xuan felt a little irritated.

Fu Xuan quickly approved the leave, then said to Ji Yuan in an annoyed tone, "Fine, with this note you can leave the Luofu Starfaring Vessel at will for the time being. Go early, and come back early."

"I will, Fu Xuan."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Fu Xuan waved his hand, signaling Ji Yuan to leave quickly.

After obtaining leave from Fu Xuan, Ji Yuan went to the Vidyadhara again.

Bailu had already begun to master the wondrous techniques of the Vidyadhara. When Ji Yuan found her, she was practicing these techniques. After learning that Ji Yuan was leaving, Ji Yuan Bailu felt a pang of reluctance, but ultimately respected his decision.

After searching for everyone he needed to, Ji Yuan began working on leaving.

Two days later, Topaz also arrived.

Now all that's left is to set off.

Chapter 149 Jingliu and Screwllum Hitchhiking [Second Update]

"Brother, it's a pity I still have to work with the general and can't come to see you."

Standing at the port of Flowing Cloud Ferry, Yanqing reluctantly bid farewell to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan is currently the only person on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel with whom I can spar and exchange sword techniques. Following him will allow me to embark on many interesting adventures and face powerful enemies.

Unfortunately, there are still many things to do on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel, especially those Mara-Struck that haven't been exposed yet, which Yanqing needs to lead people to eliminate. Therefore, it's impossible for him to go with Ji Yuan this time.

Ji Yuan Yanqing: "I'm mainly here to pick up Tingyun, and also to do some other research. Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

"Mm." Yanqing nodded. "Big brother, come back quickly after you go. Before you set off, the general told me that according to the latest route of the Xianzhou, we will soon arrive near the family's Penacony. At that time, you may be sent to Penacony as an envoy."

"I understand. I'm willing to do anything as long as it's not as an envoy delivering a declaration of war."

Ji Yuan said in a joking tone.

The Luofu Starfaring Vessel is neither the Han nor the Mongol Empire, and there is no tradition of sending an envoy to give oneself a buff before the start of a war. However Ji Yuan also does not have the courage to be an envoy.

Yanqing looked bewildered. "When did our Xianzhou send out a challenge?"

If you see the enemy, just start fighting. What's the point of a challenge?

Ji Yuan patted Yanqing's head without saying anything more.

Meanwhile, Qingque was even more eager than him to go with Ji Yuan.

Qingque, still fawning over Ji Yuan, said, "My fellow card player, my fellow card player, do you think you're missing a fortune teller before you set off? Why don't you talk to Lord Fu Xuan and ask if I can come with you?"

"Fine, you go and tell Lord Fu Xuan that, I won't."

Ji Yuan said earnestly.

"No, no, that would kill people," Qingque quickly shook her head.

The image of Lord Fu Xuan's gloomy face that she had seen this morning flashed through her mind, Qingque shuddered, not daring to say a word.

Seeing Qingque's expression, Ji Yuan shrugged and said, "Then, there's nothing I can do."

You're scared, but I'm even more scared than you are.

After all, you only slacked off a little while she was working, maybe played a couple of hands of cards. But I actually touched her thigh and her white stockings. Even a few days later, I wouldn't dare to offend her.

"Sigh, my card-playing buddies..."

Qingque glanced at Ji Yuan, her eyes filled with nothing but disappointment.

Thump thump thump—

Seeing her expression, Ji Yuan tapped her head three times in quick succession. Qingque looked up, about to say something, but at that moment Ji Yuan had already hopped onto the Star Skiff.

Facing the bewildered little Qingque, Ji Yuan smiled and waved goodbye:

See you in a few days!

Seeing him like this, Qingque pointed to Ji Yuan with her little finger.

After they had completely left, Qingque clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Perfect, I don't have time to give them away anyway. I'll go to Exalting Sanctum and play a couple of rounds of Jade Abacus first."

Just as she was smugly muttering to herself, Fu Xuan's gloomy voice rang in her ears.

"Qingque, your plan is quite brilliant."

"Hiss!" Qingque gasped, turned her head and looked at Fu Xuan, who looked like he was about to kill someone at the slightest provocation. She instantly cowered like a quail.

"Fu, Fu Xuan Da..."

"Use your job title when you're at work," Fu Xuan said with a stern face.

Qingque whispered to Fu Xuan, "So, Lord Diviner, you've also come to see Ji Yuan off? Then why didn't you show yourself earlier?"

Upon hearing her say that, Fu Xuan's rising momentum instantly plummeted.

"I, I didn't come here to deliver Ji, Ji Yuan. I, I'm here to catch you slacking off."

After saying that, he angrily struck Qingque's head again.

After she finished knocking, she pulled Qingque towards the direction of the Divination Commission.

"Go, get back to work."

Qingque looked helpless.

My fellow card player, you'd better hurry up and come to Divination Commission. Your poor card player, Qingque, is about to be exploited to death by his unscrupulous boss.

Ji Yuan piloted a small Star Skiff towards the outside of the Xianzhou.

Over there is a spaceship used by the Interastral Peace Corporation for long-distance travel. Ji Yuan and the others are going to transfer to that spaceship to reach their destination.

Topaz moved closer to Ji Yuan, and after sitting down, her ample thighs became even more prominent. Topaz then took out her tablet and pointed to the star map, saying to him, "Mr. Ji Yuan, the location of the planet Jarilo -VI is blocked by the star core. We can only take a detour, first going to the Herta Space Station, and then following the Astral Express's tracks to Jarilo -VI."

"Um."

Ji Yuan had exactly that in mind.

Professor Ruan Mei said that she still has experiments on the Herta Space Station, so it's a good time to go and finish them together before going to Jarilo -VI.

Just as Ji Yuan was pondering, Topaz paused for a moment and then said to him, "By the way, Mr. Ji Yuan, if Jarilo -VI can't come up with the money to repay the debt, they will definitely have to use their local specialties to settle it. And if there are people on that land, the company is willing to hire them. Don't worry, a portion of the wages earned by those recruits will be used to repay your debts."

"Let's forget about it."

Ji Yuan shook his head.

At the same time, he glanced at Topaz.

What's wrong with this person? Offering a job at the company? Isn't this typical human trafficking? He would never do such a thing.

Topaz was secretly groaning in his heart.

Ji Yuan was unwilling to let those people leave. Was he planning to keep them for experimental research? He looked gentle, but could he, like his teacher Ruan Mei, actually have a cold heart beneath his gentle exterior?

The company would never fall out with a member of the Genius Society over someone from a primitive planet. Now, the only hope is that Dr. Ratio can stop them.

Although Ji Yuan and Topaz were laughing at each other, they both regarded each other as evil criminals.

While they were pondering, the small Star Skiff arrived at the location of the large spaceship outside.

Ji Yuan and the others disembarked.

However, they sensed something was wrong as soon as they disembarked. The spaceship was unlike anything they had ever seen before; it was unusually quiet.

"Could it be that there are enemies?"

Ji Yuan instantly drew his sword and shielded Huohuo, Sushang, and Firefly behind him.

Topaz also looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

The group cautiously advanced and then saw several people wearing Interastral Peace Corporation uniforms lying on the ground in the cabin, groaning in pain. Ji Yuan quickly went over to check on them and found that although they had been knocked to the ground, they were not seriously injured.

It seems the other party doesn't want them dead.

Ji Yuan told everyone this.

"Isn't it fatal?"

Topaz frowned and nodded, but his caution never subsided.

After walking a few more steps, Nguyen Mai smiled.

Ji Yuan asked her, "What's wrong, teacher?"

"A familiar face is coming." Ruan Mei pointed ahead, and Ji Yuan and the others saw a tall 'person' slowly walking towards them.

A robot, slightly shorter than Ji Yuan, wearing a tailcoat, a top hat, and a monocle, appeared in Ji Yuan's field of vision.

Sushang looked somewhat surprised.

"This robot looks much more powerful than the Golden Man."

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Yuan tapped her on the head.

"When we get back, I need to read more books to help me recognize people," Ji Yuan said to Sushang, then quickly apologized to Screwllum.

"Mr. Screwllum, my sister is ignorant and incompetent."

"I'm just a robot, and what this young lady said isn't wrong," Screwllum said in a gentle tone as he walked up to the group.

Hearing that Screwllum wasn't angry, Sushang breathed a sigh of relief. She remembered who it was as soon as she called out its name.

He is a member of the renowned Genius Society throughout the entire Star Sea, and the lord of Screwllum's Planet, Screwllum.

What she just said was extremely rude.

Screwllum said to Ji Yuan, "Mr. Ji Yuan, I'm also heading to the Herta Space Station this time, so I'll be traveling with you. I'll also take this opportunity to see our Genius Society's interns."

"Well, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
