Ji Yuan: "Bronya, Leave Your Pantyhose Behind" [Second Update]
Now, when Ji Yuan goes out, residents of both the upper and lower districts can recognize Ji Yuan.
Before, when Bronya was walking with Ji Yuan, everyone was thinking how lucky that guy was to have won Bronya's favor. But now that Ji Yuan and Bronya were walking together, they all felt a sense of great satisfaction.
Our new Great Guardian has good judgment.
When Ji Yuan walks alone, everyone rushes up to thank him profusely.
This made Ji Yuan stand at the gate of Klippefort, too afraid to move.
As he hesitated, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Ji Yuan turned his head and saw that it was Bronya and Tingyun and a few others.
"Ji Yuan, you're over here? Perfect timing, I was just looking for you."
Bronya's face lit up with joy when she saw Ji Yuan.
"Looking for me? Is there something you need?"
Ji Yuan was somewhat puzzled when he heard Bronya say that.
"I heard from Tingyun that you're leaving soon, is that right?"
Bronya said this, glancing at Tingyun somewhat guiltily.
She still remembered her kiss with Ji Yuan, and felt a little guilty when facing Tingyun, her official girlfriend.
But at that moment, she remembered the sounds she had heard that night.
It doesn't look much like Tingyun.
So...
Bronya felt a strange sense of anticipation.
"Yes, we're leaving. Fu Xuan just messaged us, telling us to hurry back," Ji Yuan nodded, speaking to Bronya and Tingyun.
"Lord Diviner, why are you telling us to go back? Has something happened to the Xianzhou?"
Tingyun heard Ji Yuan say this, her expression became somewhat anxious.
"I don't know either, but let's return to the Luofu Starfaring Vessel as soon as possible. We might have to go back in a day or two."
Ji Yuan shook his head and said to Tingyun.
"Alright, Bronya, can you tell me what's wrong now?"
"This matter is..."
As Bronya said this, she took Ji Yuan's hand and strode towards the square.
Seeing her actions, Tingyun's expression suddenly became somewhat blank.
No, what happened?
Bronya openly eloped with Ji Yuan?
Tingyun's mind went blank for a few seconds, but she quickly recovered and followed Bronya and Ji Yuan upstairs.
Ji Yuan was also confused by Bronya's actions.
Fortunately, she wasn't trying to elope.
Bronya led Ji Yuan to the square in front of Klippefort and gestured for the residents of Belobog to stop.
"Gentlemen, please pause your actions."
Bronya's voice was firm, and although it wasn't loud, it was clearly audible to everyone.
Upon hearing that it was Bronya, the residents of Belobog stopped what they were doing. Glancing at Ji Yuan, who was not far from Bronya, their expressions grew even more reverent.
"You all see the changes in Belobog now. A month ago, who among us could have imagined that Belobog would have changed so much?"
Upon hearing her words, the residents of Belobog all nodded in agreement.
A month ago, the luckiest thing they could imagine was that the Eternal Freeze erosion of Belobog would lessen, allowing Belobog to survive the snowstorms for a few more years. Now, a month later, they are already considering how to expand the city across the entire planet.
All of this was changed by Ji Yuan's arrival.
"I share the same thoughts. In fact, I am even more uneasy than you, because Ji Yuan's initial purpose in coming here was not to help us, but to collect a debt. A debt that all the residents of Belobog owe."
Bronya then recounted the debt to the people present.
After she finished speaking, she even added:
"Ji Yuan is a life science expert. I was worried that he would use the residents of Belobog for experiments. This is what usually happens in interstellar space."
"But I was wrong. Ji Yuan is a kind person, a person full of justice. The only thing he took away from us was the star core that had troubled us for hundreds of years. What he brought us was the melting of the ice and snow and our future development."
When the residents of Belobog heard about debt, they would always imagine all sorts of loan sharks exploiting others. But then, thinking about what Ji Yuan had done, they felt grateful to Ji Yuan.
Seeing the crowd discussing, Bronya took a deep breath and said:
"We really can't think of any way to repay Ji Yuan."
She had only spoken half of her sentence when a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Why don't you repay me by offering yourself to me, Great Guardian?"
Ji Yuan, who was standing to the side, looked in the direction of the sound and saw a red figure flash by.
It's that guy, Sparkle...
Ji Yuan clenched his fist involuntarily.
I'll have to go back and beat her up again.
Sparkle is now very measured in her actions; her provocative words never cross the line, they're just annoying but not truly infuriating. The key is that when she's annoyed by Ji Yuan, she's a master of getting punished for every mistake, and then repeating the same mistake after being punished.
Ji Yuan had a feeling that Sparkle was a masochist who enjoyed getting beaten up.
Bronya's expression froze upon hearing Sparkle's words.
She wanted to do that too.
However, it's definitely not something that can be openly revealed.
At that moment, the audience below the stage looked on with anticipation upon hearing these words.
Yes, this is the kind of ending we like to see the most.
Bronya took a deep breath and said to everyone present, "Let's not joke about this kind of thing. Mr. Ji Yuan already has a girlfriend."
So even if I wanted to be a mistress, I would have to do it secretly.
With this thought flashing through her mind, she continued, "I want Mr. Ji Yuan to always leave his mark on Belobog. Therefore, I hereby declare Mr. Ji Yuan to be Belobog's Grand Inquisitor for Life. He will have the power to investigate and dismiss all officials of Belobog, starting from the Great Guardian. Great Guardian throughout history will also be subject to Ji Yuan's guidance."
This position didn't exist before Belobog; she came up with it after spending the last few days researching information from other civilizations.
Meanwhile, Ji Yuan was taken aback upon hearing Bronya's words.
What is this position?
Is the investigation into the appointment and dismissal of all those involved in Belobog's case?
Isn't this similar to the treatment in traditional Chinese operas where one is "punished by a tyrannical ruler above and treacherous officials below"?
Also, these so-called Great Guardian of all ages must accept my guidance.
Doesn't this mean I've become the de facto ruler of Belobog?
They can control the planet through the Great Guardian, but they are not responsible for specific administrative work.
Isn't this position a bit too big?
Ji Yuan looked at Bronya questioningly.
Bronya responded frankly:
Your contribution is here; you have given a second life to everyone here. You deserve all of this.
The residents of Belobog were initially hesitant when they heard the news.
But then I thought about it again and realized it wasn't so bad.
They truly have no way to repay Ji Yuan for what he has done. Now, it wouldn't be a problem to let him become the supreme ruler of this planet.
At the same time, they knew Ji Yuan was from the Celestial Ark Native, and a sense of unease lingered in their hearts. Everything they had now was thanks to Ji Yuan; what would happen to Belobog if Ji Yuan left and they returned to their previous predicament?
Since that's the case, then why not just officially connect them completely?
With these thoughts in mind, they spoke to Ji Yuan one by one.
"I've met the Grand Inquisitor..."
"I've met the Grand Inquisitor..."
"I've met you before..."
Looking at the various ways people addressed him, Ji Yuan's expression was somewhat amused and exasperated.
"You guys have really caused me so much suffering..."
On the way back, Tingyun couldn't help but tease him as he walked beside him:
"This humble woman has met the Grand Inquisitor."
"If you're so capable, read out all my job titles."
Ji Yuan rolled his eyes at Tingyun.
"Special Envoy of the Celestial Ark Alliance Marshal and Trade Official the Luofu Starfaring Vessel, Intern of the Genius Society, Secretary to the Chairman of the Interastral Peace Corporation and Deputy Director of the Strategic Investment Department, Grand Inquisitor Jarilo-VI, Belobog..."
Upon hearing this, both Ji Yuan and Tingyun were startled.
Before anyone knew it, Ji Yuan had accumulated so many titles.
And there are likely to be more to come, as can be seen with the naked eye.
At this moment, the system's settlement voice also rang in Ji Yuan's mind.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully gained the approval of Bronya, the legendary Great Guardian of Jarilo-VI, one of the most prosperous planets in the galaxy, and she has entrusted the planet to you. For this, the system rewards you with the Heart of Belobog.]
[Heart of Belobog: You are free to borrow the abilities of any resident of Belobog (Note: This requires the resident to genuinely identify as Belobog). You can teleport back to Belobog from anywhere, and you can also bring any place or person in Belobog to yourself at any time.]
Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment when he saw the reward.
Then, a thought flashed through his mind.
Quick, go claim territory for me! Claim all those uninhabited planets around here.
In the future, when I fight people, I'll just smash them with uninhabited planets!
Chapter 214 Ji Yuan: Bronya, leave your pantyhose behind [Second Update]
Although there was a strong urge to have Bronya declare that all the surrounding planets belonged to Belobog, Ji Yuan knew that it would be difficult to get the residents of Belobog, who had been trapped in their isolated city for the past seven hundred years, to do such a thing.
Ji Yuan and Tingyun walked into Klippefort.
Aventurine and Topaz were delivering a series of documents to Ji Yuan.
There was also a piece of green jade.
"This is the cornerstone that the Minister of Diamonds has given you. The Minister has already left and returned to the company headquarters."
When Aventurine Jin saw Ji Yuan, he handed over the jade.
Ji Yuan picked up the jade stone. Feeling its warm, smooth texture, Ji Yuan put it around his neck. With such a foundation, he too could possess the combat power of Emanator.
Aventurine smiled and continued, "Boss, Sister-in-law, our work in Belobog is finished. The rest is up to the rest of the company. What should we do next? Go back to the Xianzhou with you?"
"Um..."
Ji Yuan thought for a moment, remembering that after returning to Xianzhou, he still needed to go to Penacony to retrieve Chadwick's Memories Bubble. So, after considering it for a while, he said, "Topaz, you come back to Xianzhou with me to handle company matters. Aventurine, you go to Penacony to do some preliminary research and such."
With that, he divided the foundation stones between Topaz and Aventurine and gave them to the two of them.
"Understood, I understand."
Aventurine accepted the Aventurine and nodded excitedly.
