Firefly: I Absolutely Can't Let Jiyuan Find Out I'm Sam [Second Update]

Feeling the power Remembrance transmitted to his mind, Ji Yuan firmly memorized them.

Now that he can unleash the power of the star core, he can go even further, which will not only allow the star to unleash even greater power in the upcoming battles, but also make his experiments go more smoothly.

Good.

[You and Dan Heng, the legendary hero who survived the battle against Aeon Nanook, the former High Elder of Luofu Nameless on the Astral Express, fight side by side. As a reward, you will have the opportunity to witness the birth of the Vidyadhara once.]

Ah?!

Memories of the birth of the Vidyadhara, what's so special about that...?

Ji Yuan was just thinking that the birth of a race wouldn't be of much use when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Other races were fine, but the Vidyadhara possessed the bloodline of Aeon of Permanence. In other words, this wasn't some Remembrance of the Vidyadhara's birth; it was clearly an experience witnessing Aeon of Permanence wielding His power.

Ji Yuan did not open these immediately.

The situation is still somewhat chaotic, and it would be a mistake to waste this opportunity rashly.

Let's leave that for when we need to do the next experiment.

Now, besides this Remembrance, there is another Remembrance that remains untapped in his hands: the sword strike from the future when Jingliu- ryu slashed Yakushi.

Although he didn't know what that sword strike looked like, Ji Yuan could already foresee that it would be incredibly impressive, given that a group of mortals could kill a Star God.

Both Remembrance, if brought to light in the right place, can play a tremendous role.

Ji Yuan carefully put away this memory and didn't open it for the time being.

At this point, the final system reward appeared.

[You and the most pure Nameless, having abandoned all the past, walk together on Trailblaze path of destiny and fight alongside the legendary girl March 7th, who participated in the battle against the fallen and destructive Aeon Nanook. The system rewards you with the Six-Phase Ice Condensation Technique.]

The purest?

Upon hearing the system's explanation of March 7th's identity, Ji Yuan was taken aback.

He had previously heard Xing and Tingyun mention that March 7th's identity was mysterious, seemingly possessing a past even more enigmatic than Dan Heng's. Ji Yuan had hoped to use this speculation about the future to investigate what her past truly was.

Now the system tells me that on March 7th, I will abandon my past and focus on becoming a Nameless.

Cutting ties with the past, that's truly legendary.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

However, her past has little to do with Ji Yuan; what matters most to him is his current gains.

He had seen descriptions of Six-Phase Ice in books before; it was a very special type of ice, created according to the laws of imaginary numbers, and its form would not change due to external interference. It possessed extremely reliable solidity, making it crucial for Ji Yuan, whether for dealing with enemies or conducting experiments.

Ji Yuan is of the ice attribute, making it easier for him to unleash the Six-Phase Ice, and allowing him to conduct more research.

With these gains in mind, Ji Yuan, along with teachers Jing Liu and Jingliu Mei, headed towards Belobog.

Klippefort.

At this moment, the sky, which had become clear because of Ruan Mei's collection of the star core, turned gray again.

This feeling made the people in Belobog feel vaguely uneasy.

Sushang knocked on Firefly's door.

Soon, Firefly came out of the room in a hurry.

"Sushang, is there something you need from me?"

She took a few quick breaths and then asked Sushang.

What's wrong with you?

Looking at Liu Firefly, who was covered in sweat and looked nervous, Sushang asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little unwell. Is there something you need from me?"

Firefly wiped her sweat and answered Sushang.

Hearing her say that, Sushang's expression of concern deepened.

"Your illness has flared up again. You should go back and rest. I was just saying the sky was getting dark and I was planning to go out with you to see what was going on. Now that you're in this state, you should rest. Lie down for a while, and I'll contact your brother and Ms. Ruan Mei for you."

"No, there's no need to contact Ji Yuan." Firefly quickly stopped Sushang as soon as she heard that they were going to contact Ji Yuan.

"Well, they have important business to attend to, so let's not disturb them."

Firefly chuckled and said to Sushang.

Sushang still didn't agree.

"Nothing is more important than life. No, I have to go and tell my brother."

Firefly tried to stop Sushang, but it was obvious that she was far weaker than Sushang. Firefly Sushang held Liu Ying down and then prepared to take out her phone to call Ji Yuan.

Just then, Ji Yuan returned. Seeing their behavior, he asked curiously, "What's wrong with you two?"

"Perfect timing, I was just about to message you." Seeing her older brother approach, Sushang immediately put away her phone and said to Ji Yuan:

"Look at Firefly now. She's covered in sweat. Is something wrong with her? Hey? Where is she?"

Sushang was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly noticed Firefly hiding in the room.

How did you get into the room?

"Um, I think I'll be fine after resting for a while. Please, don't come in."

"It's so busy," said Firefly.

Sushang knocked on the door a few times, but Firefly still didn't open it.

As Ji Yuan watched from the side, he became even more convinced.

However, on the surface, he did knock on Firefly's door in a somewhat anxious manner.

"Firefly, logically speaking, Entropy Loss Syndrome shouldn't present with this kind of sweating symptom. Come out here so I can examine you and see if any new symptoms have appeared."

"No, no need, I'm fine. I'll rest for a bit and take a nap."

"I'm leaning tightly against the door," Firefly said anxiously.

You absolutely must not tell anyone that you are Sam.

Especially...

"I will set the sea ablaze!"

Thinking back to what I shouted back then, I couldn't help but cover my face.

I'm so shy.

If people found out that I was Sam, I would be so embarrassed.

A scene like this appeared in my mind.

In the vibrant city park, she and Ji Yuan strolled side by side, petals falling around them. At that moment, Ji Yuan leaned down and whispered in her ear. With his breath, her ear felt ticklish.

Then, Ji Yuan spoke to her in an extremely gentle voice:

I will set the sea ablaze!

No, absolutely not!

"That's what the Firefly thought to itself."

Ji Yuan knocked on the door several times, but still received no response.

He suppressed a laugh and said to Firefly, "Alright, you rest first. If you're still not feeling better after you get up, I'll come and take a look at you again."

"Uh-huh..."

Upon hearing this, Firefly nodded immediately.

Ji Yuan patted Sushang's head at the door, signaling her to leave with him so that Firefly could rest in peace.

Sushang listened to her brother and obediently followed him away.

The two left the rest area of Klippefort, but she kept looking thoughtful as she walked.

What are you thinking about?

Ji Yuan asked Sushang.

Sushang replied, "Brother, I felt something was off about how easily you let Firefly go just now. She was definitely hiding something, and you probably already guessed it, but you just didn't tell me."

Ji Yuan was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Sushang actually guessed the general outline of the matter.

Seeing the surprised expression on her older brother's face, Sushang proudly put her hands on her hips.

"See? I'm pretty smart, aren't I!"

Seeing her smug look, Ji Yuan patted her head speechlessly.

Feeling her older brother patting her head, Sushang said with dissatisfaction, "Brother, stop patting me, I'm an adult now."

Upon hearing Sushang's words, Ji Yuan's eyes narrowed instantly.

Wanting to be an adult, does that mean you want to be in a relationship?

"Sir? Have you had your coming-of-age ceremony?" he said to Sushang. "Also, I do feel that you are intelligent. Here's what we're doing: our experiments are still missing a few gene mutation studies. Could you help me and my teacher with the calculations?"

"Brother, you're bullying me!"

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Sushang was immediately enraged and tried to headbutt Ji Yuan. However, Ji Yuan dodged lightly and then picked Sushang up in his arms.

He flicked her head again.

"Hmph, you think you can outsmart me? Don't even think about it. Let me tell you, you'll never escape my grasp for the rest of your life."

Ji Yuan said with great pride.

Upon hearing his words, a hopeful light shone in Sushang's eyes.

Brother, you can't go back on your word!

I don't want to leave.

With that thought in mind, she simply gave up struggling.

Sensing the change in Sushang, Ji Yuan couldn't help but wonder.

His original intention was to see his sister struggle even more so he could teach her a lesson. However, he was puzzled to find that Sushang's struggles had weakened.

What exactly is going on?

Ji Yuan silently put Sushang down.

Just as Ji Yuan was about to say something more, he saw two people walking towards him from a distance.

It was Topaz and a blue-haired youth.

Topaz introduced Ji Yuan: "Mr. Ji Yuan, this is Professor Ratio from the Erudition Society."

"Professor Ratio, hello."

Although he had spied on him with Aventurine before, Ji Yuan still showed him respect.

This guy's skill level can be said to be at the pinnacle of ordinary people, only a fine line away from genius. To outsiders who are unaware of the situation, his level is no different from that of Genius Society.

However, Nguyen Mai didn't think much of Ratio.

She had told Ji Yuan before that Ratio was talented, even surpassing the members of the Genius Society in some aspects, particularly in terms of fundamentals. However, he lacked the inspiration of a genius.

"When a person's mind is filled with thoughts of others rather than himself, he is forever shut out of the path to genius. A hero thinks about how to lead the masses forward, while a genius simply paves the way without caring whether anyone is behind him or whether they can keep up."

If we consider the grand scheme of cosmic development, then the genius's idea is correct, because no matter how far into the future, there will always be someone who follows his path and achieves progress in civilization; but in certain times and for certain people, Ratio's approach is what will save them.

Fish are stranded on the beach. Some people don't look at the stranded fish, but try to extend the depth of the sea to prevent future strandings. Others carefully collect the fish and release them back into the sea. The sea remembers the former, and the fish remember the latter.

"But these arguments are irrelevant to me; I just want to save my life."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

On the other side, seeing Ji Yuan nod, Ratio returned the gesture politely. However, his repetition was extremely formulaic; while not wrong, it appeared rather impolite.
