My Honkai: Star Rail System Arrived Early

His movements all stopped for a moment.

The difference in strength between them was like night and day. On the Luofu Starfaring Vessel, only General Jing Yuan could match her.

Ji Yuan dared to guarantee that if even a single thought of his was wrong, she could kill him in an instant.

"What? You don't want to?"

Phantylia, in Tingyun's likeness, narrowed her eyes and spoke in a charming tone. Her toes even continued to inch closer to Ji Yuan, allowing him to clearly see the blue veins beneath her fair skin, making the gesture even more provocative. But in Ji Yuan's eyes at that moment, he felt like he was being scrutinized. If anything was out of the ordinary, Phantylia would eliminate him directly.

"No, you've already walked all the way here."

Ji Yuan 'disdainfully' patted his leg and said to Tingyun.

"Don't worry, I cleaned myself before I came," Phantylia said, retracting her foot, sitting up, and leaning close to Ji Yuan's ear.

Ji Yuan's gaze couldn't help but drift to her feet.

Just like Tingyun's, they were incredibly beautiful, without a single flaw.

Seeing Ji Yuan stiffen but his gaze involuntarily drawn to her feet, Phantylia's suspicion lessened slightly.

She intended to remain undercover on the Starfaring Vessel for a considerable period, and any anomaly in those around her could draw suspicion from that Luofu General. Especially since Ji Yuan's background, while seemingly ordinary, was actually quite significant.

He was good friends with the General's disciple, and his mother held a high position on the Yaoging Star-skiff. More importantly, he possessed two unique skills. If anything were to happen to such a person, the Starfaring Vessel would launch a thorough investigation. He was far more important than Tingyun, whose identity she was currently impersonating.

It wasn't easy to just get rid of him.

"Of course, if he discovers my anomaly, that would be a different story."

Phantylia thought to herself.

If he didn't discover it, then things would become instantly interesting.

Phantylia had previously impersonated others to sow discord, but engaging in romance was a first. Especially playing the role of an almost ardent pursuer during this romance, it was truly amusing.

She was interested in the younger man, scheming to win his heart completely, and engaging in teasing that kept him guessing.

Phantylia felt fortunate that she wasn't a follower of Joy, otherwise, she might have continued playing Tingyun's role indefinitely, even bearing children with Ji Yuan. Then, in her old age, lying on her deathbed, she might suddenly sit up and announce to Ji Yuan and their children that she wasn't the real Tingyun but Phantylia.

She only intended to toy with Ji Yuan's emotions until her mission was complete.

Seeing Ji Yuan's restless impatience, she got off the sofa and walked barefoot into the room.

"Alright, I've had a busy day, I'm going to sleep now."

"Hey, aren't you going back to your own room to rest?"

"No." Phantylia leaned her head back and said to Ji Yuan.

This backward tilt of her head caused Ji Yuan to take two steps back.

Phantylia continued to smile, "If you want to come in, I wouldn't mind. Otherwise, sleeping on the sofa all the time would be quite uncomfortable, wouldn't it?"

"Then why have you been sleeping in my room all along?"

"You can come in! Don't worry, I won't eat you, will I?"

"I'll go sleep somewhere else," Ji Yuan said, turning to leave.

"Somewhere else? There aren't any other rooms here, are there?"

The Orion Trading Company was large, but it housed the Cloud Knights and pilots, leaving little spare space.

"Don't forget, I still have my sister. As an older brother, is there a problem with sleeping in the same room as my sister?"

Ji Yuan pushed the door open and walked out.

With an expression that suggested he was about to win.

He walked out, his destination indeed being Sushang's location.

As he walked, he tried his best to maintain his emotions without any change.

Only by doing so could he avoid revealing any flaws. If a flaw appeared, he guaranteed that none of the Cloud Knights present, including Genyi, would survive.

Phantylia, impersonating Tingyun, had, with that backward tilt of her head, reminded Ji Yuan of the pictures he had seen before.

What about the real Tingyun?

Could it be that she had already...

Was this her fated tribulation?

Thinking of such an unbearable possibility, Ji Yuan, despite his restrained expression, couldn't hide his sorrow.

He had desperately tried to prevent Tingyun's death, but he hadn't expected the Lord of Destruction to appear here.

This was already an insurmountable obstacle, and Ji Yuan couldn't find any solution no matter how hard he racked his brain.

However, the only thing that brought him some comfort was that, based on his knowledge of Suiyang, Phantylia's current state was not one of Suiyang possession. This body was a replication of Tingyun's, not a soul-snatching of Suiyang.

Her body hadn't been found, so there might still be a chance to save her.

He forced his emotions aside and focused his attention elsewhere.

I haven't checked the rewards the system just gave me.

Let's see if this achievement can help me out.

[Your charm is unparalleled, even the Lord of Destruction Phantylia couldn't resist teasing you (verbally, no affection, no intimate physical contact). The system rewards you with a Perfect-grade Decoy.]

A decoy?

Ji Yuan began to examine his newly acquired item through the system space.

Within the space, a body resembling his own lay there, emitting the exact same aura. Aside from its inability to move, it was indistinguishable from his real self.

Perhaps this way, he could conceal himself from Phantylia?

The thought crossed Ji Yuan's mind.

However, after considering it, he felt that if Phantylia detected two of his auras in the same location, she would definitely notice something was wrong.

When dealing with a Stellaron Hunter, there could be no room for error.

"I still need to keep milking this situation!"

He thought to himself.

Chapter 46 Sushang Angrily Slams the Table

Although Ji Yuan appeared fine, Phantylia kept her attention focused on him. It wasn't until Ji Yuan entered Sushang's room that she finally relaxed, at least temporarily.

Letting out a slight yawn, she lay down on the bed, her eyes half-closed.

In order to impersonate Tingyun, she had made her body capable of mimicking the state of a normal Xianzhou Foxian. Only by becoming exactly like Tingyun could she avoid exposure. Therefore, she still felt the drowsiness that came with it, and grabbing a pillow, she decided to take a short nap.

Of course, she was still secretly using her powers, carefully monitoring Ji Yuan's aura. If his actions changed in any way, Phantylia would act immediately.

"Once I've completely copied all of that fox's habits, I'll deal with her directly," she thought to herself, lying on the bed as her newly acquired fox tail swished back and forth behind her.

She hadn't had a chance to deal with the real Tingyun yet, as she still needed to meticulously imitate Tingyun's personal habits. Replacing someone wasn't just about having the same body and memories; the slightest nuances in bodily movements could become a weakness.

Normally, it might not be noticed, but those close to her certainly would. Especially since Tingyun's parents were still alive; any deviation in habits would reveal the truth. As a Lord of Destruction, any mistake was unacceptable.

Before impersonating others, Phantylia would spend a long time practicing.

Her movements, her habits, even her emotions.

"I'll sleep for a bit. When I wake up, I'll think about how to 'tease' the person I like," Phantylia mused internally.

Ji Yuan went to find Sushang, and with the excuse that his brother's home had been taken over by a hateful woman, he successfully ended up lying on her bed.

His mind was constantly racing, contemplating his next move to gain more benefits from Phantylia.

On one hand, Ji Yuan worried about Tingyun's life and the safety of others, and whether he would reveal any flaws in front of Phantylia. On the other hand, he had to find a way to extract benefits from her. Ji Yuan felt immense pressure. And under this immense pressure, Ji Yuan even felt a sense of thrill.

It was like the thrill a mouse in a hole felt trying to get milk from a mother cat.

Afraid of death, yet wanting to act.

Ji Yuan lay on the bed, his mind continuously pondering.

How to do it, And how to go about it.

"If I can successfully rescue Tingyun and get enough from Phantylia, could I also escape my own fate of death?"

Ji Yuan pondered in his heart.

Sushang, completely unaware, was putting on her boots while watching her brother on the bed roll his eyes.

"He has a spacious big bed but insists on coming here to steal my single bed. Have you no shame?"

As she said this, she placed her foot near Ji Yuan's face.

Her feet were light and agile. As a warrior of action, Sushang's feet lacked the soft charm of Huo Huo, possessing instead a greater nimbleness.

Ji Yuan quickly dodged away with a look of disgust.

Sushang nudged the edge of the bed with her foot: "Didn't you always complain about my feet smelling? I'm telling you, I just got back from patrol these past two days and haven't even washed my feet before lying on the bed. If you don't want them now, aren't you still going to use my blanket?"

Ji Yuan immediately wanted to throw the blanket away in disgust.

"If you throw it away, I'll go sleep in your room with Tingyun," Sushang complained to her older brother.

"Fine, then I'll tell Mother about your slovenly living habits."

"No, no, no, I was just kidding!" Sushang quickly raised her hand to stop Ji Yuan: "I clean myself properly every day. Besides, we Cloud Knights have acquired new technology that not only protects us but also keeps us clean."

"Hmm?"

Ji Yuan looked at Sushang, confused.

What new technology?

"It's new technology we obtained from interrogating the high-ranking members of the trading company. Big brother, take a good look. Although I look the same as before, I'm actually equipped with an invisible energy shield."

Sushang puffed out her chest, ready to receive her older brother's surprise.

Then, She was struck by a hand chop again, but it was blocked by a transparent energy field just as Ji Yuan's attack was about to hit her head.

Seeing the transparent energy shield, Ji Yuan couldn't help but frown.

"What are you doing!"

"I wanted to see the defensive power. Also, try not to do these kinds of experiments, be careful of your own safety."

"It's fine, I know what I'm doing. Big Brother, Big Brother, isn't this transparent protective energy shield amazing? The higher-ups in the Orion Trading Company use this for self-defense, but the cost is too high, so they don't give it to the soldiers. Otherwise, there would be a lot fewer war troubles. Right now, the Cloud Knights' researchers are using us for testing, trying to see how to mass-produce it," Sushang said to Ji Yuan. "This invisible shield can be worn with Cloud Knights armor. With the two combined, our safety on the battlefield will be greatly improved."

Speaking of which, she remembered her brother's personality and reminded him with a huff, "Someone like you, who's afraid of dying, had better prepare a set. Although they're only testing it on a small portion of the Cloud Knights there, given your status, they'll definitely give it to you if you go ask or buy it. Oh, right, I'll take your body measurements properly before you go. It requires a close-fitting defense, and the energy shield needs to be made according to your body dimensions."

"Okay, Changshang, hurry up and measure me."

Ji Yuan nodded seriously.

Although the biggest crisis right now was the Lord of Destruction, and the energy shield would be useless against it, there were other dangers besides this major threat. If he wasn't killed by Phantylia, but by a passing Buli Ren, Ji Yuan would probably cry himself to death.

"Okay, I got it..."

Sushang went to get the measuring instrument.

"Here, take off your clothes," Sushang said as she held the instrument.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Ji Yuan suddenly reach out and take the instrument from her hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Sushang asked Ji Yuan loudly.
