Ji Yuan said softly, "Actually, I'm not really against marrying Tingyun. It's just that I might need to make some preparations first..."

Just as they were saying this, Fu Xuan's voice rang out from outside.

"That's no problem. The coming-of-age ceremony doesn't necessarily have to be held around two hundred years old. Although one hundred and seventy years old is a bit early, given your abilities and contributions, Ji Yuan, holding the coming-of-age ceremony earlier is just a matter of a word."

As she spoke, Fu Xuan slowly walked in. In her hands were some nourishing gifts.

"Lord Diviner!"

Tingyun's parents hurriedly greeted Fu Xuan.

"Hmm." Fu Xuan nodded slightly. After placing the gift on the table, she asked Ji Yuan, "How are you feeling? Did you rest well?"

Ji Yuan stretched for a moment, then replied to Fu Xuan, "It's alright, I feel like I can start working this afternoon. Lord Fu Xuan, there's still a lot of work to be done on the Xianzhou, right? I can go help out after I finish lunch."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan instantly reacted like a cat spotting a mouse, saying to Ji Yuan:

"No need, you don't need to. You should rest. I've already spoken to the general. From now on, anyone who gives you work will be treated as a dereliction of duty."

Ji Yuan said with a somewhat mournful face, "Lord Diviner, it can't be that bad, can it?"

Fu Xuan said with a dark face, "In short, you'd better rest well these next few days. Until I give you an award, you won't be given any work on the entire Luofu Starfaring Vessel. In fact, I've already told Ruan Mei that she won't be doing any research these next few days either. These next few days, your only options besides resting are to travel."

Ji Yuan nodded helplessly.

Seeing his condition, Fu Xuan still complained helplessly, "Sometimes, I really want to transplant some of Qingque's genes into you. That girl, she wishes she could rest seven days a week."

"She's quite reliable when it's not for serious matters."

Ji Yuan offered a defense to his mahjong partner.

"And then? Since the end of the war, I haven't seen her get down from the Jade Abacus Table."

Fu Xuan was still quite angry when the matter was brought up.

"In short, this is not advice. This is my order to you. From now until the ceremony where you are honored, you cannot do any work. Hmm, coincidentally, the ceremony will also be your coming-of-age ceremony. Marshal Hua will be there then; she will crown you and announce that you are the best candidate for adulthood."

After saying this, Fu Xuan seemed to feel somewhat uncomfortable and added a sentence to Ji Yuan.

"That will make it easier for you to get married then."

Her tone was somewhat sarcastic.

However, Ji Yuan and Tingyun's parents didn't understand Fu Xuan's thoughts; they were still immersed in the shock of Marshal Hua personally presiding over Ji Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony. Meanwhile, Jingliu, on the other hand, sensed something amiss in Fu Xuan's words.

She smiled broadly at this.

What? My student is that great? Isn't it normal for Fu Xuan to like him?

Thinking this, she moved her feet, which were inside Ji Yuan's pants, several more times.

After giving his instructions, Fu Xuan left in a bad mood. Tingyun's parents then bid farewell to Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan secretly pinched Jingliu's foot, then stood up and saw Tingyun's parents off.

Having just seen his parents-in-law off, Ji Yuan hadn't even had time to react when Jingliu grabbed him from behind and led him into the room.

After Ji Yuan Fu Xuan returned to the Divination Commission, he told Jing Yuan, Qing Qingque, and the others about Ji Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony. Of course, Qingque, who was slacking off, was severely scolded by a disgruntled Fu Xuan before being informed.

Qingque then shared the news with Huohuo Mei and the others. Sushang, in particular, was going to tell her and Ji Yuan's parents to inquire about the specific time when they could attend Ji Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony.

Besides Sushang and the others, there was one other person who kept the news of this coming-of-age ceremony in mind.

Topaz of the Interastral Peace Corporation.

Ji Yuan is now her boss, so naturally she has to try to please him. Her boss's coming-of-age ceremony is not only an important event for Xianzhou, but also a significant matter for the company.

She immediately relayed the message to the company headquarters.

Although the headquarters of Interastral Peace Corporation was somewhat speechless that their chairman's secretary was still underage, they still took it seriously and had to deal with it.

Then,

The company immediately communicated with Xianzhou.

I know your hero's coming-of-age ceremony on your Xianzhou requires your meticulous preparation, but our chairman's secretary's coming-of-age ceremony also needs our help. Our Interastral Peace Corporation must get involved in this matter.

Jing Yuan would naturally agree to such a thing.

Interastral Peace Corporation immediately went to great lengths to prepare for the event, sending a large amount of banquet materials to Luofu Starfaring Vessel in a short period of time.

Furthermore, they also plan to invite Miss Robin renowned singer from the Halovian, to perform.

Chapter 237 Why would Robin specifically come to find him?! [Second Update]

Exalting Sanctum.

Ji Yuan and Tingyun walked hand in hand quietly.

Seeing that few people around him recognized him, Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, only the Cloud Knights had witnessed the battle; the ordinary people on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel didn't know him, so he could still live an ordinary life as a normal person.

Tingyun looked embarrassed and stopped, saying to Ji Yuan, "Um... Ji Yuan, my parents' past wasn't something I asked them to do... much less, it wasn't to force them into marriage..."

Her usually eloquent mouth was now stammering, and her originally fair cheeks turned completely red with embarrassment. Seeing this, Ji Yuan reached out and tapped the back of her hand to reassure her.

And then he suddenly realized, "Really? So it wasn't a forced marriage. Then I shouldn't have agreed so hastily. Hmm, I should have told my aunt and uncle that I'm still young, there are still many things I haven't done, and my career is not yet established. I need to wait at least two or three hundred years before I can get married."

"You dare!" Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Tingyun's fox eyes widened in anger. She swept her tail across Ji Yuan's lower back and pressed her fingers on Ji Yuan's arm, seemingly pondering where to start to tear off a large chunk of Ji Yuan's flesh.

Her foxy face puffed up with anger, and she put her hands on her hips and said seriously, "After your coming-of-age ceremony, we must get engaged. We can wait a few more years for marriage, but engagement is a must."

If she waits another two or three hundred years, she'll be nearing the end of her life. And then she talks about marriage? This...

Suddenly realizing this, Tingyun's face became slightly unnatural. Her expression changed from anger to sadness.

Seeing Tingyun's expression, Ji Yuan quickly asked, "Ah? What's wrong with you?"

What happened? Why did she suddenly become so sad?

Tingyun replied somewhat helplessly, "I was just thinking that in two or three hundred years, my age limit might be coming to an end."

This kind of longevity-based thinking is really unsettling.

Then, Tingyun saw Ji Yuan clutching his stomach and laughing loudly.

Seeing Ji Yuan's reaction, Tingyun regained her anger. She pinched Ji Yuan's hand a few times and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Ji Yuan spread his hands and replied to Tingyun, "No, Tingyun, I am Ruan Mei's student and a member of the Genius Society. Even someone like Ms. Herta, who is not a specialist in life sciences, can develop technology to reverse aging. Immortality is not something I can achieve casually."

The sadness in Tingyun's mind was instantly diluted.

Ji Yuan, that clueless straight man, has absolutely no sense of romance. Normally, shouldn't he be saying that although we can only spend a short two or three hundred years together, he believes every moment we spend together will be incredibly joyful? But instead, he's telling me the lifespan issue has been resolved, and we can spend hundreds or thousands of years together as we please.

Tingyun always felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton.

Damn it, go on your date properly!

Ji Yuan instantly felt as if Tingyun was possessed by his silly younger sister. An immense force surged from her slender hand, carrying Ji Yuan toward the bustling Exalting Sanctum area.

The two walked into the bustling market of Exalting Sanctum, seemingly celebrating the great victory against the Buli Ren in recent days. Under the direction of the Luofu authorities, Chang Exalting Sanctum was even more lively than usual. All sorts of stalls lined the market, filling it with various Luofu specialties and unique goods from other worlds.

Ji Yuan and Tingyun held hands, savoring the beauty of this peace.

"Fifty thousand, you've won! Gentlemen, take your money."

Qingque's clear voice came from not far away. Ji Yuan and Tingyun looked over and saw Qingque rubbing her little hands together, watching excitedly as her mahjong partners handed her the Stellar Jade. Feeling the crisp Stellar Jade falling into her pocket, Qingque happily rubbed her little hands back and forth on the Jade Abacus.

One of the losers couldn't help but say to Qingque, "Qingque, what kind of luck do you have today? You've won all the money from the three of us."

Qingque's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Hmph, yesterday I assisted the Grand Diviner in dealing a heavy blow to the Buli Ren. I don't know how many Buli Ren died because of me. According to some civilizations, I have done great good deeds. Isn't it normal for me to have better luck when playing cards?"

The other card players, upon hearing this, felt that this was indeed the case.

At this moment, Ji Yuan walked up behind her and deliberately startled her, saying, "Qingque, the Lord Diviner asked me to call you back to work."

Hearing Ji Yuan call out like that, Qingque jumped up in fright. Only after seeing that it was Ji Yuan did her tense expression relax. Patting her chest, she said to Ji Yuan in an annoyed tone, "I... card player, it's you! You almost scared me to death."

Ji Yuan squinted and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I was really summoned here by the Lord Diviner?"

"Others are possible, but right now, the Lord Diviner would love to put you in a glass dome and let you rest for a few days," Qingque said to him as he continued shuffling the cards.

Ji Yuan: "..."

You know what, it's actually quite possible.

Tingyun couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing how close Ji Yuan and Tingyun were, Qingque couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her superior. She was well aware of Lord Fu Xuan's state of mind at the Divination Commission, as she was the perfect outlet for his anger. In the past two days, she had even deliberately made small mistakes in front of Fu Xuan give him more room to vent his frustrations.

That's all I can do to help. Going any further is beyond my capabilities. Tingyun and I have a good relationship; I couldn't possibly drug Ji Yuan and then send him to Lord Diviner's bed, could I?

Furthermore—

"If I could marry Ji Yuan, could I just be a parasite for the rest of my life?"

Qingque thought to herself.

After the hand was finished, Qingque's friend seemed to have lost all his cards and left quickly after telling Stellar Jade. Seeing the others leave, Qingque's eyes lit Qingque and he immediately set his sights on Ji Yuan and Tingyun.

"Come on, Ji Yuan, Tingyun, the three of you can also go fight Jade Abacus. Ji Yuan, I feel like I'm having a particularly good run today, I'm sure I can beat a lot of Stellar Jade."

Ji Yuan and Tingyun glanced at each other and realized they really needed to rest after walking for so long. After thinking for a moment, they both sat down. The three of them then unfolded the Jade Abacus.

"Watch me slaughter everyone..."

"Qingque shouted excitedly."

Her tone was excited, but her excitement quickly faded. Perhaps, as she said, killing the Buli Ren was a great act of merit. Ji Yuan had killed tens of thousands of Buli Ren; his luck was undeniable.

Qingque gave all the Stellar Jade that she had finally won to Ji Yuan, and she was sweating profusely from losing.

"Three of a kind, another win."

Ji Yuan laughed happily and reached out to take the last Stellar Jade from Qingque's hand.

Just as he was about to take it, a commotion suddenly arose not far away. Ji Yuan turned his head and saw a large group of people gathered together, seemingly watching who was coming. Seeing that Ji Yuan's gaze was not in their direction, Qingque's eyes darted around and she immediately stuffed the last Stellar Jade in her hand into the sole of her shoe.

Seeing the lively scene, Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Did a celebrity arrive?"

"Of course." Someone walked by and immediately replied when they heard Ji Yuan say that, "Do you know? The person in front of us is Miss Robin very famous singer in the universe."

After saying this, he still had a look of longing on his face.

"I'm Robin. If I could get Robin's autograph, I would die happy."

Ji Yuan quietly moved away from this fan.

After listening to this, Tingyun said to Ji Yuan, "Ji Yuan, I've also heard Robin's songs before. They are indeed very beautiful. I never expected her to appear on the Xianzhou. It's truly rare."

"Um."

Ji Yuan had never Robin sing before, so he didn't pay it any mind.

Just then, he heard an extremely soft and beautiful female voice rang out from the crowd.

"Everyone, I'll be at the Luofu Starfaring Vessel for the next few days, so there's no need to rush with the autographs. I'm here today to find someone, could you please make way for me? Thank you."

Upon hearing what the Robin said, the crowd immediately made way for him. At the same time, they said, "Miss Robin, who are you looking for here? We'll find him soon enough."

"Um... wait, never mind, I've already found him."

Just as Ji Yuan and Tingyun were leaning against the Jade Abacus Palace, watching the crowd, a young girl emerged from the crowd and walked quickly toward them.

Ji Yuan looked at the girl carefully:

She had a beautiful figure and sweet face, wearing a white and purple evening gown, and high heels that accentuated her beautiful legs. However, unlike ordinary pretty girls, she had a pair of wings on the back of her head, and a ring of decoration on the top of her head. Ji Yuan could see clearly that these were not acquired devices, but characteristics of the Halovian.

As he walked up to her, Ji Yuan noticed the three beautiful ornaments at the corners of her eyes, which made her already beautiful eyes even more captivating.

"Hello, Mr. Ji Yuan."

The Robin reached out its hand, wanting to shake hands with Ji Yuan.

When they saw Robin Miss Jade Abacus had come all the way to Exalting Sanctum just to find this young man who was fighting with someone, they all widened their eyes in surprise.

No, why is that? This kid is indeed better looking than us, but he's not so devastatingly handsome as to be devastatingly good-looking. Why would Robin come all the way to find him?

Of course, this was because they were unaware of Ji Yuan's performance on the battlefield. If the Celestial Ark Native were to learn of Ji Yuan's achievements, everyone's opinion would likely change.

Even the Robin fervent fans of the Xianzhou would not consider the Robin as a hero as the one who killed a large number of Buli Ren and helped the Celestial Ark Alliance win.
