Do You Xianzhou People Hug Every Time You Meet? [Second Update]
At this moment, Jing Yuan and Hua were playing chess at the Divine Might Manor, with Yanqing attending to them. Upon seeing Ji Yuan and the others enter, Yanqing greeted them happily.
"Big brother, Miss Tingyun and Aunt Suyi, you've arrived."
Ji Yuan patted Yanqing on the shoulder. "Of course, this is my coming-of-age ceremony, so of course I had to come early."
"Brother, before my coming-of-age ceremony in the future, I also want to do the same as you, slaughtering many Abundance Followers to celebrate my coming of age."
Yanqing said longingly.
"Then you'd better hurry up, or I'll have wiped out all those Abundance Followers long ago, leaving you with only a few little guys."
"Hey bro, at least leave me some!"
"Then you need to practice your swordsmanship diligently."
Ji Yuan teased Yanqing a few times and offered him some encouragement.
Hua and Jing Yuan looked at them with smiles.
"Looking at them, I feel that the younger generation of Xianzhou is becoming more and more promising," Hua said with admiration.
"Yes, I'm already thinking about my retirement. Marshal, I'm definitely ahead of you in terms of retirement time." Jing Yuan placed a chess piece in his hand. "Checkmate, Marshal, I have won."
Jing Yuan then stood up and walked to Ji Yuan's side.
"Alright, Ji Yuan, we've already prepared everything with the Interastral Peace Corporation. Now, get ready to enjoy this coming-of-age ceremony for you."
Ji Yuan nodded with a smile.
At this moment, someone from the Divine Might Manor came over again.
It is Huohuo and Xueyi, Hanya.
"Miss Xueyi, Miss Hanya, are you alright?"
Upon seeing the two of them arrive, Ji Yuan quickly went up to them and asked.
At that time on the battlefield, the two of them were the most seriously injured.
"I went back and started major repairs, and it's all done now. If you don't believe me, look..." Xueyi stepped forward and said to Ji Yuan.
Then, taking advantage of Ji Yuan's inattention, she suddenly hugged him tightly.
"Thank you."
Although it was a doll's body, Ji Yuan felt it was very soft.
Tingyun, who had been watching with a smile, was dumbfounded when she saw this.
Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here.
Chapter 247 Do you all hug when you meet on your Xianzhou? [Second Update]
Xueyi gently hugged Ji Yuan, then let go of him. Following Xueyi, Hanya also hugged Ji Yuan to express her gratitude.
Seeing that they were just holding each other like that, Tingyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This is just gratitude for saving my life.
He's much better than that woman, at least.
The person Tingyun was referring to Phantylia.
She still harbored a deep hatred for Phantylia, who had impersonated her and kissed Ji Yuan fiercely during the live stream. If she weren't outmatched, Tingyun felt she would go and fight her every day.
"But today is quite good. As the Lord of Destruction, she can't appear here openly, so she can only spy on this place from the shadows, hmph..."
Tingyun was very pleased with herself.
Meanwhile, a 'Cloud Knights' soldier stationed on the side was secretly watching Ji Yuan.
How could she miss Ji Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony? Since she couldn't appear in public, she would have to put on makeup.
Ugh!
It cannot appear in the open.
Phantylia had an urge to destroy this coming-of-age ceremony.
However, considering that this was Ji Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony, she endured it.
Xueyi and Hanya then released Ji Yuan and went to the guests' seats.
Huohuo looked at Xueyi, then at Hanya. Both Xueyi and Lady Hanya were hugging their teacher like that; she wanted to hug her teacher too. But Xueyi Hanya were doing it out of gratitude for saving her life; what excuse could she use?
There's no reason, is there?
Huohuo walked back to her seat, looking somewhat dejected.
After the three of them left, others arrived one after another.
Bailu skipped and hopped in. With each movement, the dragon's tail twitched and fell to the ground. Upon seeing Ji Yuan, Bailu pounced on him.
Ji Yuan hugged Bailu briefly and then let go.
"Teacher, teacher, happy adulthood!" she said to Ji Yuan with a grin.
However, saying it like this felt somewhat awkward to her, Ji Yuan, and everyone else who heard it. The combination of "teacher" and "adult" just didn't feel quite right.
Having a minor wife is already outrageous, but having a minor teacher is even more outrageous.
Ji Yuan patted Bailu's head, gesturing for her to sit to one side. However, he had a feeling that Bailu seemed to have grown a few more centimeters taller.
Huohuo stared in disbelief.
Is this possible directly?
After Bailu sat down.
Sushang and the others also came over.
"Brother."
She followed Bailu's example and rushed over to hug her brother to celebrate his coming-of-age ceremony.
"Why--"
At the same time, he glanced at Sushang and gestured to her to wait for him after the coming-of-age ceremony.
Sushang nodded.
She then released Ji Yuan.
Next, the remaining people seemed to have discovered something interesting and went over to hug Ji Yuan as well.
First it was Ruan Mei, then Herta joined in the fun, and even Jingliu, who was partially concealed by a mask, gave him a hug. Jingliu was also present at the meeting, but she still made a slight attempt to conceal herself, merely making a gesture.
Although the warrant for her arrest on the Xianzhou has not been withdrawn, it is already an open secret that Jingliu appeared on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel.
The group hugged Ji Yuan and headed towards the main guest area.
Ruan Mei and Jingliu are still Ji Yuan's teachers.
Even if we've slept together, he's still my master. This time, I should naturally attend Ji Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony as his teacher.
Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt himself being hugged again.
The man then released him, and Ji Yuan was taken aback.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the woman who wasn't much shorter than him, Ji Yuan looked puzzled.
Who is this?
She was tall and extremely voluptuous, her clothes almost bursting out of their fabric. Her long, wavy purple hair was styled in large waves, and she wore a large Western-style top hat.
"Since my department head is celebrating his birthday, it's only natural for me to come and celebrate. Minister Ji Yuan, I'm here on behalf of the company. The Diamond Boss is currently unable to attend due to other commitments." The beautiful woman smiled.
"Jade, Ten Stonehearts' from the Strategic Investment Department of Interastral Peace Corporation, has met Minister Ji Yuan."
Although they had never met, Ji Yuan had used her foundation stone during the battle.
Jade tilted her head and asked Ji Yuan, "By the way, Minister, is this hug part of the Xianzhou's etiquette? How did I do?"
"Hmm, well done."
Ji Yuan nodded seriously.
Miss Jade, I saw right through your plan to take advantage of my boyish mindset to tease me first, and then gain the upper hand in the negotiations later.
I've seen it all, so how could I possibly be at a disadvantage because of this?
Jade was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and walked to her seat to watch the ceremony.
Besides representing the company at Ji Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony, she also came to discuss the company's actions regarding Penacony. That land originally belonged to the company, but it had been taken by the family. Now that the Aventurine had been distributed, it was natural to bring Penacony under the company's control.
Next came the Robin. But the Robin clearly had no intention of marrying Ji Yuan; she looked at him with a resentful gaze as she approached.
Oh no, I didn't sleep well all night. What if I embarrass myself while singing later?
Ji Yuan felt slightly embarrassed.
Have to,
It seems she heard everything that happened last night.
Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
Ji Yuan repeatedly expressed his apologies to the Robin in his heart.
The Robin was going to sing at the beginning and end, so she decided to stay on stage. Then the others gradually came over.
The Cloud Cavalry included some officers, leaders from the Heavenly Ship Bureau, the Divination Bureau, and the Earthly Balance Bureau, as well as a large number of Cloud Cavalry soldiers. The Cloud Cavalry soldiers looked at Ji Yuan with eyes full of admiration. Having experienced the previous battles, Ji Yuan's status in the hearts of the Luofu Cloud Cavalry was second only to the Marshal and Generals.
Fu Xuan directed everyone to stay in their positions.
The broadcast then started, allowing everyone on the Xianzhou to see it.
The time had come, and Qingque and Topaz, the hosts, came out.
Qingque spoke first, "Gentlemen, some of you may know the answer, while others may be confused and wondering why this person's coming-of-age ceremony is being held so grandly in front of the General's Divine Might Manor. Now I will tell you, he is a hero of our Luofu Starfaring Vessel, and this is not only his coming-of-age ceremony but also a recognition of his achievements..."
She didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly recounted everything that had happened to Ji Yuan in this battle and the previous one.
Hearing her words, the Cloud Knights who already knew were fine, but the Xianzhou People who were hearing this for the first time realized that such a hero had emerged in the battle against the Abundance Fiends. If it weren't for Marshal Hua and General Jing Yuan being there, they would find it hard to imagine that someone could defeat or kill the Lord of Destruction, the Emanator of Abundance, and the Living Planet.
The Celestial Ark Alliance held heroes in the highest esteem. Looking at Ji Yuan's face, they remembered him vividly.
From this day forward, Ji Yuan became famous throughout the Luofu Starfaring Vessel and even the Celestial Ark Alliance.
After recounting Ji Yuan's attack, as if to give everyone time to process it, Topaz then interjected that they had invited Miss Robin, a famous singer from the universe, to perform.
Robin knew this was one of the best opportunities to shine in the entire Celestial Ark Alliance, so she took a deep breath and sang her heavenly voice.
Her singing was melodious and incredibly moving. Her voice was clear and bright, yet carried an epic grandeur. Listening to the music, everyone couldn't help but recall the achievements Qingque had previously described about Ji Yuan. The two contrasted, as if they were experiencing firsthand how Ji Yuan had slain the enemies of the Celestial Ark Alliance.
After the song ended, the Robin breathed a sigh of relief.
It was alright. Although I was a little tired, I managed to finish the song. My singing did not affect Ji Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony.
After all, she was Ji Yuan's music teacher. Although Ji Yuan had scolded her last night, she still hoped that Ji Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony would end beautifully.
"However, I'm not feeling very well today."
As the song ended, and everyone was still immersed in the music, Qingque and Topaz continued to announce the other ceremonies of the coming-of-age ceremony.
Over the years, the coming-of-age ceremony on the Xianzhou has become a highly standardized ritual. Each step of the process involves various blessings from teachers and elders. Ji Yuan didn't make many innovations; the only difference was that the elders who bestowed blessings upon him were of considerable status.
Two members of the Genius Society, General Luofu...
Finally, it was Cloud Knight Marshal Hua who announced his coming of age.
Jiuwu Ridge uses the "Baling Wine Order" wine.
Hua said earnestly, "Everyone, with your witness, Ji Yuan, who was born on the Yaoging Star-skiff, has come of age today. At the same time, I will also accept him as my only disciple to inherit my mantle."
"Greetings, Master."
Ji Yuan immediately began the apprenticeship ceremony.
