My Honkai: Star Rail System Arrived Early

"Little girl, although that scoundrel is a damn loli-con, he's not doing this for any messy reasons right now."

"Yes, I'm telling you all, just listen to Ji Yuan."

Tingyun agreed and said to everyone.

The only two people present who spoke up to dissuade him were Wei Ba and Tingyun.

The Cloud Knights, Sushang, and Yanqing all looked at Tingyun.

We know you like Ji Yuan, but don't spoil him like this. He's clearly making a mistake, and you're still going to help him?

Foxes are canids, yes, but you don't have to lick their boots like this!

Seeing everyone's confusion, Tingyun couldn't help but smile.

Like everyone else, she had felt a bit confused and wronged when Ji Yuan gave his earlier order. But it only lasted a few seconds before she realized Ji Yuan wouldn't do something so pointless. Remembering the previous modification of the Buli Ren, she immediately understood Ji Yuan's purpose.

"Don't react so strongly, at least listen to my explanation."

Seeing that everyone still hadn't acted, Ji Yuan helplessly drew his weapon again and thrust it directly at the female warrior.

The Cloud Knights were immediately shocked. Was Lord Ji Yuan going to kill her out of embarrassment?

However, the moment the weapon struck the female warrior's combat suit, the suit instantly changed. The entire outfit began to twist and deform, finally transforming into a Buli Ren with a distorted figure and short stature.

The Buli Ren let out a shriek and lunged directly at Ji Yuan.

But Ji Yuan was already prepared. He lightly flicked his weapon, changing it from its sword form back into a whip, and wrapped it around the Buli Ren's hands from behind. The weapon hardened again, directly severing the Buli Ren's arms.

As for its falling body, Bai Ye dodged to the side with a quick movement and then pinned it down firmly.

"Escort this Buli Ren away," Ji Yuan ordered the Cloud Knights.

"Yes, yes, I understand."

The Cloud Knights seemed to snap out of a daze, nodding quickly and loudly grabbing the Buli Ren, whose hands had been severed, and taking it away.

"As for this person..." Ji Yuan looked at the female warrior, who was left with only her undergarments and shivering, and ordered the Cloud Knights, "Take her down and interrogate her thoroughly."

"Yes." The Cloud Knights no longer hesitated, immediately pulling the female warrior up and taking her away for a thorough interrogation.

Ji Yuan then turned his gaze to Yanqing, Sushang, and Huohuo.

All three of their faces had turned a blushing red with embarrassment.

"B-Big Brother, I was wrong. I actually misunderstood you just now," Yanqing said softly.

He immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake.

"Ahahaha, Brother, why didn't you explain yourself more clearly?" Sushang immediately said with a laugh.

"Waaah~ Teacher, I'm sorry, please punish me." Huohuo immediately put her hands on her head and walked over, her eyes teary, looking as if she was waiting for punishment.

"Alright, it's fine," Ji Yuan said, first braving Wei Ba's fierce gaze to pat Huohuo's head. Then, he flicked Yanqing's forehead with his finger.

"How about you come spar with me more these next few days as compensation?"

"Of course!" Hearing this, Yanqing's spirits immediately lifted.

Big Brother's swordsmanship talent surpassed almost everyone he had ever met. By practicing with him more, his own strength would grow by leaps and bounds. Then, there would definitely be a time when he could fight Ji Yuan, or even surpass him.

The thought of having someone else to spar with excited Yanqing.

Seeing Yanqing fall into a state of excitement, Ji Yuan gave his own sister a sharp chop to the head.

One must be firm with one's sister; it's what any brother should do.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing!" Sushang said, holding her head.

"Who told you to misunderstand your brother?"

"Who told you not to explain clearly? If you had explained, I would have immediately stripped that woman's clothes off." Sushang retorted immediately.

The more Sushang said this, the more Ji Yuan glared fiercely at her: "I only said one sentence, and before I could even say a second, you all rushed forward. What else could I do?"

"Then don't blame us for misunderstanding. Look, everyone..."

Just as she was about to say everyone misunderstood, she remembered that there was someone present who had directly understood Ji Yuan's intentions.

Sushang's gaze shifted to Tingyun.

Tingyun opened her fan to shield her face and smiled slightly.

She walked over to Sushang and reached out to gently stroke the spot where Sushang had just been hit by the hand chop.

"Sister, I would never doubt Ji Yuan."

Sushang lowered her head, letting Tingyun stroke her.

Then, Tingyun walked up to Ji Yuan and said in a voice only he could hear, "Knowing how much you fear death, you definitely wouldn't do anything bad to female prisoners. After all, the possibility of you being assassinated was highest at that time."

As she spoke, she looked at Ji Yuan, expecting to see his embarrassed and angry expression.

Then, She saw Ji Yuan nod vigorously.

"Mhm, mhm, mhm, you're absolutely right. Safety always comes first."

Ji Yuan said with utmost sincerity.

Tingyun: "..."

Chapter 41: Fake Tingyun Prepares to Act

Ji Yuan was good in every way, except his fear of death was simply too extreme. It was estimated that even if someone called him a coward to his face, Ji Yuan would just laugh and agree.

Seeing the Cloud Knights about to leave, Ji Yuan suddenly remembered that he had only hit their faces earlier. What if others also had issues with their clothes, just like that female warrior?

"Bring back those people from before."

He instructed the Cloud Knights.

After the series of events that just transpired, the Cloud Knights were even more convinced of Ji Yuan's judgment. They promptly brought back the prisoners.

Seeing the prisoners, Ji Yuan continued to approach the initial burly captive with a smile.

"We meet again."

Ji Yuan said with a smile, then delivered a hard punch to his stomach.

There you go!

The burly man doubled over like a cooked shrimp after being hit.

The prisoners behind him immediately showed fear.

They had already been beaten once, were they going to be beaten again?

They all looked fearful, but with the Cloud Knights escorting them from behind, they could only endure Ji Yuan punching each of them.

After hitting everyone once more, and confirming that none of them, including their clothes, were Buli Ren, he had the Cloud Knights escort them away again.

Ji Yuan was also a bit tired. Seeing the chairs behind him, he sat down to rest.

Sushang sidled up to him and asked curiously, "Brother, how exactly did you determine that those people weren't Buli Ren?"

"That's my unique secret, I can't tell you."

Ji Yuan spread his hands, adopting an attitude of absolute refusal to speak.

How could he explain that he had a system?

Seeing Ji Yuan like this, Sushang touched the long sword in her hand several times, wanting to give him a demonstration of what "brother-sister harmony" meant.

After the people here had left for a while, the Cloud Knights brought another batch of prisoners to this satellite.

The two groups of prisoners mingled. The first batch of prisoners looked at the second batch, who were being escorted over in a daze, and couldn't help but feel sympathetic.

The prisoners who arrived later looked at the expressions of the previous prisoners and felt confused.

Weren't they told that the Celestial Ark Alliance never mistreated prisoners? Had their attitude changed?

The second batch of prisoners all looked frightened.

When they were brought over, looking scared, they saw Ji Yuan with a smile on his face.

Ji Yuan's smile was bright; his smile had always been extremely approachable.

The prisoners felt as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

They all wondered if the previous prisoners had some kind of problem.

While smiling brightly, Ji Yuan slowly clenched his fist and punched the first prisoner in the abdomen.

These prisoners from the trade consortium had a really rough day today.

However, since they were willing to collude with Abundance Fiends, this little bit of hardship was nothing. If the Abundance Fiends had caused destruction, the damage would have been immeasurably greater.

After hitting five to six batches of prisoners and verifying a large number of spoils of war, the Cloud Knights brought them good news.

"The commander has ordered us to escort you to the planet where the trade consortium is stationed. The trade consortium headquarters there has been prepared, and once you verify everything, we can establish our base there."

"Good."

Ji Yuan agreed and turned to Tingyun and the others, saying, "Let's go, we'll stay there tonight."

His excited demeanor was noticed by the others.

Sushang couldn't help but pat her forehead, while Tingyun's eyes flashed with speechlessness.

Ji Yuan definitely wasn't happy because of the improved living conditions; he was certainly excited because it was safer.

If Ji Yuan could hear their thoughts, he would have nodded vigorously in agreement.

Yes, I am that cautious.

This planet is still quite dangerous. What if a meteor suddenly flies in from outer space while I'm living here like this?

Ji Yuan doesn't have the ability to withstand a meteor head-on.

And over there, there's the protection of the entire Cloud Knights.

The safety factor increases exponentially.

Bringing Tingyun and the others, Ji Yuan followed the Cloud Knights in piloting the star-skiff towards the Orion Trading Company headquarters.

By this time, the battles in outer space had already concluded, and all outer space territories had been completely occupied by the Celestial Ark forces. The star-skiff then proceeded towards the atmosphere. After a series of rapid landings, Ji Yuan and the others arrived on the planet of the Trade Consortium.

On the planet, the fighting was not yet over. The Cloud Knights had only occupied the Trade Consortium's headquarters; there were still vast urban areas and other buildings outside that required street fighting.

Explosions sounded from within the city intermittently. Ji Yuan clearly saw from mid-air the Cloud Knights launching a one-sided assault on the soldiers who were stubbornly resisting.

The armor of the Cloud Knights appears to be from the cold weapon era, but in reality, it is all advanced technology from the Artificer's Workshop. Its safety is far more rigorous than the sci-fi-style armor of the Orion Trading Company. At the same time, the firearms and laser weapons of the Trade Consortium guards are vastly inferior in offensive power compared to the Cloud Knights' 'long sabers.'

When the two sides clash, it's like a hunter without iron arrowheads in the cold weapon era fighting a warrior clad in full armor.

They can't even break through the defenses.

Of course, the Cloud Knights did not suffer zero casualties, because during the attack, Buli Ren would occasionally reveal themselves and engage the Cloud Knights in combat.

However, these were not things Ji Yuan could control. They needed to hurry to the headquarters.

The star-skiff flew rapidly towards the planetary headquarters, the tallest building there.
