Huohuo Seeks Phantylia's Help to Get Stronger [Second Update]

Ji Yuan thought for a moment. Now there was only one [World-Devouring Star Rohu] left to consider, so there was no need to rush.

If all else fails, then we'll just have to fight it out.

With their own foundation, Firefly, Jing Yuan, Phantylia working together, they could easily go toe-to-toe with each other.

However, Ji Yuan still felt uneasy, sensing that things were not as simple as they seemed.

It's always good to have some room for maneuver.

He thought to himself, and then withdrew from the Divination Commission.

After Ji Yuan left the Divination Commission, Fu Xuan looked at the Matrix of Prescience and wanted to continue making deductions.

Ji Yuan was so hardworking, she was unwilling to fall behind.

Seeing Fu Xuan's reaction, Jing Yuan signaled Qingque to stop him. Looking at Fu Xuan's indignant expression, Jing Yuan immediately advised, "Fu Qing, I suggest you get some rest. If you're too tired, you might talk in your sleep."

Fu Xuan was so anxious that he wanted to fight Jing Yuan to the death. However, at that moment, Jing Yuan quickly left.

After watching Jing Yuan leave, Fu Xuan turned his gaze to the last person remaining.

"Qingque— "

"My Lord Diviner, I remember I have some matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."

The Qingque fled into the distance.

Fu Xuan then pursued and killed him in the end.

Ji Yuan left the Divination Commission and returned to Exalting Sanctum on a small Star Skiff.

Before boarding the ship, he checked on himself one last time to make sure that he would still be killed by the Star God a hundred years later. Then he boarded the Star Skiff with peace of mind.

The Star Skiff quickly returned to Exalting Sanctum, but as soon as Ji Yuan's feet touched the ground, he discovered that someone was already waiting for him.

It's Huohuo.

There was also a short-haired girl standing next to her.

The girl had brown hair and red eyes, wore a red and blue striped top, and white tights. Her expression was friendly, but with a hint of aloofness.

Based on Ji Yuan's extensive knowledge of life sciences, he could tell at a glance that the girl's body was not a living being, but rather a puppet body created by the Xianzhou technology.

"Teacher." Upon seeing Ji Yuan, Huohuo happily went to greet him. Then she walked to Ji Yuan's side, tugged at his arm, and pointed at the short-haired girl.

"This, this is Judge Xueyi from the Ten-Lords Commission Division. I, I have already told Lady Hanya what my teacher instructed me to do. Then, Judge Xueyi came here to wait for you, my teacher."

"Teacher, Lady Xueyi originally planned to wait for you at home for a proper chat. However, she just apprehended a fugitive from a Xianzhou, and her energy is running low. Therefore, we have no choice but to wait for you here."

After saying this, Huohuo glanced at Ji Yuan with some concern, worried that Ji Yuan was too tired.

Ji Yuan simply reached out and patted Huohuo's little head.

"Greetings, Miss Xueyi."

Ji Yuan stepped forward and greeted Xueyi.

However, there was also some surprise in his eyes. Weren't Hanya and Xueyi supposed to be twin sisters? How could the difference between them be so huge?

But considering Xueyi's status as a concubine, Ji Yuan could understand.

"Hmm." Xueyi nodded, then composed herself and said, "Let's go somewhere quiet to talk. I don't have much time left here; I need to return to my coffin after this is all over."

"OK."

Ji Yuan nodded, his lips twitching slightly.

I know you often end up in a coffin, but please don't downplay it like that.

The three then went to a teahouse near Exalting Sanctum Port. Ji Yuan asked for a quiet private room on the second floor, ordered some snacks, and then asked Xueyi, "Miss Xueyi, did you come to ask me about [Luo Hou]?"

Xueyi nodded. "Yes, I want to know if the appearance of the [World-Devouring Star Rohu] is true."

"Of course it's true." Ji Yuan nodded. "This message was delivered by the Stellaron Hunter Elio. You know how credible he is in prophecy."

"I know."

Xueyi looked at Ji Yuan, and then made a request.

"I want to fight alongside you on the front lines against those Buli Ren and living planets. My body is entirely made of puppets and can be replaced at any time. On the battlefield, I can play a vital role."

Her tone was very serious.

Ji Yuan frowned and replied, "This is very dangerous. You need to know that if your body lacks energy but doesn't replace it in time, you will be in an extremely dangerous situation."

"When I received this news, I was already prepared."

Xueyi said to Ji Yuan, "The [World-Devouring Star Rohu] is a nightmare in my and my sister's hearts. To get rid of this nightmare, we must witness its destruction. I am willing to sacrifice myself, but I hope that my sister can at least get through this nightmare in her heart. After all, she is now in much better spirits than before because of the magic you provided."

Ji Yuan was 'developing' a technique that would reduce the amount of emotional acceptance Hanya experienced when casting Art of Dream-Stalking. During this time, Hanya's mental state had significantly improved. Xueyi wanted to personally participate in the killing of the [World-Devouring Star Rohu] to help Hanya recover even more.

"I have no authority to order the Ten-Lords Commission to do this. As long as Miss Xueyi can persuade the Ten-Lords Commission Division, I have no right to stop you."

Ji Yuan did not object, which in principle meant he agreed.

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's tacit agreement, Xueyi forced out an extremely unnatural smile.

"In that case, we thank you, Mr. Ji Yuan. Please rest assured that my body is not susceptible to damage. You may command me at will if you require anything on the battlefield."

"We'll talk about battlefield matters on the battlefield. I have something else I'd like to ask you."

Ji Yuan's face showed a curious expression.

"What is it?"

"I want to know what the [World-Devouring Star Rohu] looks like, and what the battle between you and it was like."

Ji Yuan couldn't ask his teacher about this, because when the Cangcheng Starfaring Vessel was destroyed, his teacher Jingliu was still a child and didn't understand anything. Xueyi and Hanya Ya, on the other hand, were already adults at that time and were involved in the war against the Abundance Followers; they must have known more.

Xueyi nodded, and then slowly began to tell Ji Yuan and Huohuo what had happened back then.

At that time, the crimson star known as "Rahu" hung high above the clouds of the Cangcheng Starfaring Vessel, beating incessantly like a heart.

Then it slowly cracked open its shell of rock, tendons, and vines, swallowing and spitting out countless offspring. It resembled both an insatiable predator repeatedly feeding and a mother about to give birth.

Under the nightmarish moonlight, the Fox Folk futilely steered their Star Skiff, like annoying gnats swatting at an unshakeable giant, before being driven Buli Ren by the Beast-ships of the Bu Li people and turning into fleeting sparks in the sky.

Oh, back then there was also a strange tree with a thousand faces. Later I learned that the strange tree was the Emanator of Abundance Shuhuo. General Teng Xiao was fighting it and had no strength left to stop the [World-Devouring Star Rohu].

It was under these circumstances that the Cangcheng Starfaring Vessel was devoured by the [World-Devouring Star Rohu].

Xueyi tried to keep her tone calm, but both Ji Yuan and Huohuo could hear the cruelty and despair within it.

The Xianzhou of All Beings was devoured by the [World-Devouring Star Rohu] under these circumstances.

After Xueyi finished speaking, she reminded Ji Yuan and Huohuo, "If we don't prepare for the consequences, what happened on the Cangcheng Starfaring Vessel will definitely be repeated on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel."

After hearing Xueyi's words, Huohuo was so nervous that she couldn't speak. Her whole body was trembling, and her eyes were tightly closed.

The scene Xueyi described was truly terrifying, especially for Huohuo, a young girl in her forties who had just legalized her marriage. Just thinking about it made Huohuo Huo close her eyes in fear.

"Huohuo..."

The tail was about to open its mouth to show concern for Huohuo.

At this moment, however, Huohuo opened her eyes and, though trembling with fear, said firmly, "Teacher, I'm afraid this will happen, so we must completely destroy that living planet."

Tail seemed unsure what to say.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Huohuo had fought alongside him for so long, and although her timidity hadn't changed, she was quick to act.

There might be some flaws in my mind, but this time the enemy I'm facing isn't Suiyang either. As long as I act quickly, I'll be fine.

Ji Yuan patted Huohuo's head and said to her, "Don't worry, with your teacher here, I'll definitely beat it to death."

"Um."

Huohuo gripped her little flag tightly.

"I also want to help the teacher."

Xueyi watched from the side, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

"We've finished our discussion here, so I'll head back now. Huohuo, you stay with your teacher. I'm going back to my coffin. During this time, I've arrested quite a few prisoners from the Ten-Lords Commission, so my body can store enough power to support the battle here."

"Yes, but once you're on the battlefield, you must follow orders."

"Don't worry, I will."

After saying this, Xueyi slipped downstairs, worried that if she stayed there too long, she wouldn't have enough energy stored in her body.

After Xueyi left, Ji Yuan paid the bill and then walked home with Huohuo.

The system's achievement settlement also appeared in my mind.

[You have fulfilled the request of Xueyi, the legendary judge of the Ten-Lords Commission of the Luofu Starfaring Vessel. As a special reward, the system has bestowed upon you a Demon-Quelling Awl, the latest product manufactured by the Artificer's Workshop.]

Ji Yuan felt a new weapon appear in his mind.

They hadn't walked far in the direction of home when another figure blocked Ji Yuan and Huohuo's path.

Thinking it was an enemy, Ji Yuan instinctively assumed the stance of the [Inch Force - Heaven Opening] technique.

But before he could throw a punch, he saw who it was.

It was Hanya.

Ji Yuan withdrew his fist and asked Hanya, "Miss Hanya, how did you get here?"

"Is my sister planning to go to war with you? If so, I hope you can do me a favor."

"What kind of help? Do you want me to transfer Xueyi to the rear?"

Ji Yuan asked Hanya.

The Hanya shook its head.

"No, even if you Ji Yuan my sister to the rear, she will definitely fight on the front lines."

Hanya said to Ji Yuan, "So, I wanted to ask Ji Yuan if you could let me go to the front lines to fight with you? By the way, don't let me get too close to my sister, and don't let her find out."

"Okay, I promise you."

Faced with such a heartfelt request from a sister, Ji Yuan certainly wouldn't refuse.

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's agreement, Hanya revealed a happy expression.

Hmm, this is yet another request from a legendary judge.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Chapter 220 Huohuo Seeks Phantylia to Improve Her Strength [Second Update]

[You have fulfilled the request of the legendary judge of the Ten-Lords Commission, Hanya. The system rewards you with a brand new model of the Netherworld Oracle Brush.]

Another weapon appeared in Ji Yuan's system space.

These two weapons weren't particularly useful to Ji Yuan, but the latest models from a century later would be very useful to Xueyi and Hanya. Ji Yuan thought that once they were on the battlefield, he could help them gain military merit and achieve new accomplishments.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan felt extremely happy.

He hummed a little tune as he led Huohuo toward home.

As he walked, he noticed that although Huohuo tried to keep her face calm, her hands were trembling slightly. Her eyes were fixed on him, as if afraid he would leave her sight.

"Huohuo, are you still afraid of those Abundance Followers?"

"Yes, teacher." Huohuo nodded, then seemed to realize that this was not a good way to put it, and quickly added to Ji Yuan, "But don't worry, teacher, even if I'm scared, I won't hold back when facing the enemy."

As she said this, she clenched her fists, trying to encourage herself.

"I believe you can do it Huohuo."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely be like my teacher, no matter what kind of strong enemy I face, I will not have any fear."

Huohuo nodded earnestly.

However, upon hearing Huohuo say this, Ji Yuan gently shook his head.

He reached out and touched Huohuo 'Huohuo head, saying, "Huohuo, actually, I've always been afraid. Don't be fooled by my risky behavior; deep down, I'm most afraid of dying."

"Teacher, were you afraid the whole time?"
