Phantylia: I Didn't Realize Impersonating Tingyun Would Be This Much Work / If You Dare Tease Me, Be Ready to Get Teased Back

Ji Yuan not only did not take off his clothes, he put his shoes back on instead. With the instrument in hand, he headed outside.

"Tingyun doesn't have one either. To be safe, I'll go measure her."

As he walked, he spoke to Sushang.

Watching Ji Yuan leave, Sushang slammed the table.

"What kind of brother is this?! Taking his sister's things to look after another woman. And you still dared tell me you didn't start dating early? A hundred years? My nephew is probably already ninety-nine!"

She said angrily.

Especially when she reached that last sentence, she became even more furious, and the force of her slap against the table increased.

Phantylia: Imitating Tingyun's Work Really Isn't Easy

In Sushang's eyes, her older brother had forgotten his sister the moment he found a girl. But in Ji Yuan's eyes, he was bravely sacrificing himself for the entire Luofu Starfaring Vessel.

Could someone as young as him, barely over a hundred years old, really be expected to compete in acting with an Emanator?

Holding the measuring instrument, Ji Yuan returned to his room.

His movements were as gentle as possible, as though he feared truly waking "Tingyun."

Phantylia was only pretending to sleep. The instant Ji Yuan entered, she woke up. Her body instinctively wanted to go outside and speak with him, but she stopped just as she was about to move.

"No. If I were Tingyun, I shouldn't have been able to react that quickly."

Thinking this, Phantylia continued pretending to sleep.

"I can't make this sort of mistake again. When I have time, I'll carefully observe her instinctive reactions and mental state when dealing with outside stimuli."

She had created an illusory space to trap Tingyun, constantly imitating every experience from her childhood to the present within Tingyun's mind. Then she began perfectly replicating the reactions and behavioral logic Tingyun should display in response to anything.

Extracting memories was the first step in replacing someone. The second was imitating every detail of her life and every reaction she should have. The final step was perfectly replicating her behavioral logic—why she would do something—so that no flaws would be exposed.

As a member of the Suiyang race, Phantylia also knew about the many failed possession cases involving Suiyang. In every case, the possessed person's behavior had differed slightly from before, and those around them had noticed.

A tiny difference from you could become a massive point of suspicion in the eyes of family.

So Phantylia continued pretending to sleep, even adjusting her body into a sleeping state. After a while, she pretended to wake up. Yawning and stretching, she walked outside barefoot.

In her memories, Ji Yuan had never seen what Tingyun looked like when she woke up.

"You've really had it hard, guarding me here, Ji Yuan." Phantylia quietly came up behind Ji Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, and poked his cheek with a finger. Then she turned and sat beside him, smiling. "On this unfamiliar planet of Orion, I can only feel at ease with you protecting me."

As she spoke, she placed her feet on the coffee table and lightly swung them.

"If you weren't staying in my room, I wouldn't be guarding you like this. When you go out to handle things in the future, remember to stick close to the Cloud Knights and keep yourself protected."

Ji Yuan rolled his eyes at Phantylia.

His gaze swept over Phantylia's feet, and his eyes instinctively shifted away. These were the feet of a Lord of Destruction. Their danger level was unimaginably high.

But after looking away, he came to his senses again.

No, these were Destruction Lord Phantylia's feet. How many people in the entire galaxy had ever seen them? He had come here for this, so it would be a waste not to look.

Look. Look more.

Ji Yuan fixed his gaze on them.

Being watched like that by Ji Yuan, Phantylia desperately began thinking about how Tingyun ought to feel.

"She would definitely be happy to have Ji Yuan look at her like this, but she would still feel shy inside. She would seem to be hoping Ji Yuan would make a further move, while her heart was filled with a young girl's bashfulness."

She began forcing herself into that state of mind.

Pride, happiness, and shyness coexisted.

This was truly not easy.

It was Phantylia's first time doing something like this.

To deceive others, she first had to brainwash herself. Phantylia repeated it several times in her heart, and the corners of her lips actually lifted naturally, making her look genuinely delighted. At the same time, a faint blush of shyness appeared on her face.

Ji Yuan secretly watched for a while, regretting that he could not touch them directly. Then he picked up the measuring instrument and said to Phantylia, "By the way, Tingyun, I came to measure your body data."

"Body data? Are you planning to buy me clothes?"

Phantylia tilted her head and asked.

"No. I'm planning to give you another layer of insurance." Ji Yuan explained that he wanted to measure her body dimensions in order to make an energy shield.

"Can you make this shield?"

"Of course."

Ji Yuan nodded.

"Then this little woman naturally has to do it too." Phantylia withdrew her feet and stood up.

"Do you measure body dimensions like this?"

"Mm... you'll have to take off your clothes too." Ji Yuan told Phantylia, "It's a close-fitting shield. At the very least, you need to strip down to your underwear."

Phantylia froze.

Take off her clothes and leave only her underwear?

Couldn't he have Sushang, Huohuo, or even another female Fox Folk pilot do this measurement?

That was what she thought.

But then she remembered that she was Tingyun now.

What would Tingyun do?

"Perfect. It's only right for you to measure my body. You're going to see all of me, so you have to take responsibility." Phantylia opened her folding fan and leaned close to Ji Yuan as she spoke.

Strip!

Tingyun would definitely be happy to take off her clothes in front of Ji Yuan.

There was no such thing as a reminder.

That was what Phantylia thought.

Not only did she need to take off her clothes, she had to be genuinely happy about it. Phantylia continued brainwashing herself inwardly.

Happy. I have to enjoy being watched by Ji Yuan...

"Once I seize the Ambrosial Arbor, I'll make him properly taste what true despair is."

Phantylia thought to herself.

The thought flashed through her mind for only an instant before she swiftly suppressed it.

No. I can't reveal that emotion, or there will be a flaw.

She quickly took off her clothes until only her underwear remained.

Her figure was slender yet exquisitely curved, full in all the right places. Not large, but perfectly shaped. The skin of her flat lower abdomen was smooth, while the fluffy tail behind her swayed wildly.

"Ji Yuan, aren't you going to come measure my body data?"

Phantylia covered her face with her folding fan and spoke to Ji Yuan.

Seeing Ji Yuan stare at her with burning eyes, Phantylia's smile grew even wider.

She was slightly puzzled. Why had Ji Yuan seemed so shy before, yet now stared so seriously at her body?

After thinking for a moment, she found an explanation for herself.

He was genuinely afraid of death, but he also truly cared about Tingyun. That was why he had made this request.

Ji Yuan picked up the measuring instrument and began the measurements.

The instrument measured from a distance. It only needed to scan her once to determine all her body data.

Ji Yuan found it deeply regrettable that the instrument was so high-tech. If the technology had not been so advanced, he would have had to use a measuring tape to take her measurements bit by bit.

From top to bottom, Ji Yuan measured every part of the Tingyun body Phantylia had assumed.

If You Dare Tease Me, Be Prepared to Be Teased Back

"All right, I've finished measuring."

Ji Yuan silently recorded the body data, then put away the measuring instrument.

Phantylia was in no hurry to put her clothes back on.

"What do you think? How do you find my figure?"

Phantylia leaned close to Ji Yuan, brushed her leg against him, then brought her lips to his ear and whispered.

Ji Yuan immediately recoiled in fear.

His fear was real, not an act.

Before, he had worried that something might happen if they got too close. Now, he was directly afraid of the Lord of Destruction.

Phantylia pouted aggrievedly.

She was genuinely aggrieved.

And she also felt aggrieved on behalf of the Tingyun she was impersonating.

I'm practically throwing myself at you, yet you still look scared?

"How interesting. Truly interesting. He has the desire but not the courage. On one hand, he likes Tingyun's figure, but on the other, he insists on keeping his distance. With such a conflicted personality, I'm truly looking forward to the moment he completely changes his mind and finally falls into despair."

Phantylia thought to herself.

Looking at Ji Yuan in his conflicted state, she even felt the kind of delight only a follower of Elation would have.

She did not normally possess so many emotions, but she was imitating Tingyun at the moment, so naturally she had to perfectly imitate Tingyun's emotions as well.

Still dressed only in underwear, Phantylia looked at Ji Yuan with interest and said, "By the way, what about your body data? Would you like me to measure you too?"

With Tingyun's mentality, she would definitely want to look back under these circumstances.

"I... well..."

A conflicted expression appeared on Ji Yuan's face.

"What? Are you unwilling to be honest with this little woman?"

Phantylia opened her folding fan, her eyes seeming to mist over with tears.

"Fine. I'll strip."

Ji Yuan seemed helpless as he began taking off his clothes.

At the same time, he silently told himself:

This sacrifice is all for the safety of the Luofu Starfaring Vessel...

Very soon, he had taken off all his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts.

His well-trained body was completely exposed.

Although he was a civil official, his mother, Suyi, had wanted him to join the Cloud Knights ever since he was young. Naturally, she had made sure he trained his body well. As a result, Ji Yuan's physique was nearly perfect. His muscles were smoothly defined, his shoulders broad and waist narrow—the standard build of a battle anime protagonist.

Or perhaps the build of an adult anime protagonist.

Phantylia gave him a once-over and thought to herself.

"Come on, I'll start measuring you now."

Phantylia said with a smile.

Then she reached out and pressed against his pectoral muscles.

Very firm. They felt good.

Ji Yuan looked at Phantylia with a face full of question marks.

Without changing her expression, Phantylia said, "I'm doing this to measure the realistic feel."
