At the same time, he secretly thought to himself how he had subconsciously reached out to touch his chest muscles.
Hmm, It must be an imitation of Tingyun's subconscious behavioral logic.
This is good, Ji Yuan won't be suspicious.
Seeing Ji Yuan's stunned expression, Phantylia felt a sense of joy. She puffed out her chest and said to Ji Yuan, "Of course, if you want to measure, this humble maiden is willing."
Next, it was her turn to tease him.
Then, she saw Ji Yuan retort with a look of indignation.
Huh!?
Phantylia was slightly surprised.
She even felt a slight grip and a slight sting.
Wait, why did he actually dare to retort? This wasn't the reaction Tingyun should have had when teasing him before.
Could it be that he had noticed something was wrong?
No, if he had noticed something was wrong, he would have reported it long ago.
Phantylia guessed that Ji Yuan might have noticed something was wrong with her, but he definitely wouldn't think that she could see through him to the Lord of Destruction, so he wouldn't dare not to report it.
If that was the case, then it could only be that he was too provoked.
"Boys at this age are the most sensitive to provocation. Next time, I'll have to be a little more careful."
Phantylia thought to herself.
As the Lord of Destruction, she still had to maintain some dignity, even when disguised as someone else.
"It hurts so much~"
She said, imitating Tingyun's tone.
However, Phantylia soon saw Ji Yuan quickly withdraw his hand, lower his head, and his face turn red.
Phantylia said with a 'shy' tone, "This humble maiden will have you take responsibility."
"I, this..."
"Haha, just kidding." Phantylia smiled at the corner of her mouth: "I don't need you to take responsibility for me."
Her tone changed as she said:
"I'll be the one to take responsibility for you."
Ji Yuan immediately took a few steps back.
And in his heart, he was shouting with excitement.
In the entire sea of stars, he was the only one who dared to treat the Lord of Destruction like this.
How many others had such strength?
The feeling in his hands hadn't completely dissipated.
Phantylia was acting, and he was also acting for Phantylia.
"Anyway, no matter how I look at it, I'm the one who gained."
Ji Yuan thought in his mind.
After all, he had the system in his hands.
Then, a system prompt appeared in his mind again.
[Your boldness is actually comparable to your charm. I didn't expect you to be able to tease back when facing the Lord of Destruction Phantylia's teasing. To reward your courage, the system has specially rewarded you with a Seamless Space Teleportation Device.]
Looking at this device, Ji Yuan's heart instantly became excited.
With this device, plus the substitute dummy from before, he felt that he could finally have some freedom for a period of time.
And during this time, he could finally try to do other things.
For example, finding the real Tingyun.
Ji Yuan sighed in his heart, thankfully he was bold and dared to make great sacrifices.
The things he had now were all obtained through sacrificing his own appearance.
Phantylia was truly an excellent treasure trove; there was so much he could extract from her.
While thinking in his mind, his body stood straight, allowing Phantylia to measure him.
"What? You don't want me to take responsibility for you?"
Phantylia was still teasing Ji Yuan.
Then, when he was at a loss for words, she continued:
"Alright, that was my fault just now. What happened just now is our secret, I won't tell anyone else."
Her eyes looked at Ji Yuan, with an expression of absolute certainty.
In fact, she thought the same thing in her heart.
After that last move, she was even more eager to see Ji Yuan's despair and eventual destruction.
"When the time comes, I'll definitely convert you into a Mara-Struck Soldier and keep you by my side."
Phantylia thought to herself.
After finishing the measurements, Phantylia looked at the data and leaned close to Ji Yuan, saying, "Perfect physique. I never expected a civil official to have such a figure."
"Yeah, let's finish measuring quickly. I need to deliver this data."
Ji Yuan still seemed embarrassed about what had just happened. He quickly picked up the measuring instrument in his hand and headed for the exit.
However, before leaving, he said to Phantylia, who was still only wearing her underwear, "Oh right, Tingyun, the process of making it is very fast on my end. You stay here for a while. I'll be back soon, and when I do, you can wear protective gear when you go out, which will ensure your safety."
"Okay."
Phantylia replied lazily, though she appeared excited.
This was quite similar to what Tingyun thought.
She wondered what had stimulated him to be so afraid.
Returning to the bed, she lazily fell asleep.
She had been sleeping in Ji Yuan's bed all day, and it was surprisingly comfortable.
Chapter 49: Casting Divination
"Brother, why are you coming into my room again?"
Sushang looked at Ji Yuan as he approached, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.
"Tingyun took my room again, so I had to come here."
Ji Yuan lay down directly on Sushang's bed, his hands behind his head.
Sushang glared at Ji Yuan and said fiercely:
"Then why are you coming to my place after going to her room?"
"Tingyun lives with Huohuo? You want me to sleep there?"
Ji Yuan tilted his head, looking at Sushang askance.
"Then... let's not." Sushang fell silent for a moment, then agreed with Ji Yuan's words.
It was fine for her own brother to stay here, but if he spent a night with Huohuo, that would be a real problem.
So, should he go back to stay with Tingyun?
Sushang thought about it, then subconsciously shook her head.
Her instincts told her not to think that way.
So what should she do?
Should she let her brother stay here?
Seeing Sushang still thinking, Ji Yuan stood up and patted her head, "You haven't read much, don't overthink it."
"Mhm..." Sushang nodded, then immediately became agitated. She clenched her fists and pressed Ji Yuan down, intending to hit him hard.
Ji Yuan was pinned down by Sushang.
It was only then that he realized something: his sister's strength was truly not weak; it was even a bit stronger than his own. In terms of technique, he was superior to her, but in a direct physical confrontation, he was actually being held down by Sushang.
Bang!
He took a solid headbutt from Sushang.
"I'm going for my daily patrol with the Cloud Knights."
Standing up, Sushang, feeling that she had finally gotten her revenge, placed her hands on her hips and laughed as she left.
Ji Yuan was left lying on the bed, questioning his life.
In his ears, the system's voice seemed to carry a mocking tone:
[You were severely disciplined while teasing a beautiful widow. As a reward for your depraved morals, the system grants you a pair of X-Ray Glasses for peeping (the system has no mandatory tasks; all host actions are their own and unrelated to this system).]
I'm a decent person! I was just counter-attacked by my own sister! Who would go around teasing widows!
Seeing the glasses appear in his spatial inventory, Ji Yuan shouted in his mind.
He wanted to throw the glasses away immediately, but after thinking about it, he felt they might be quite useful.
Not for lewd purposes, but purely for reconnaissance.
He continued to lie on the bed for a while longer, preparing for his next move.
Ji Yuan wanted to leave this place for a while.
He quietly opened the decoration...
As for whether he would be monitored, Ji Yuan didn't need to worry.
He had been lying here for so long, and the system still hadn't displayed the message "[Being Watched by Phantylia, the Lord of Destruction]", proving that he wasn't currently being watched by Phantylia. Ji Yuan thought about the information regarding Phantylia, and after confirming that he should be fine, he immediately took out the dummy, and then instantly activated the teleportation device to transport himself away.
The very next second, He found himself outside the planet.
War still raged all around. The Orion Trading Company's resistance forces continued to fight valiantly. Ji Yuan could clearly hear a firing point less than thirty meters away, unleashing energy rays to impede the Cloud Knights' advance.
Despite the danger, Ji Yuan leaned against a wall and let out a long sigh of relief.
After all, the dangers faced on this battlefield were minuscule compared to the constant threat of Phantylia at headquarters.
There were trillions, if not hundreds of trillions, of people in this galaxy brave enough to go to war, but very few dared to touch the Lord of Destruction's chest. And out of all of them, only Ji Yuan actually did it.
Just then, an explosion sounded not far from him.
"Well, it's not that safe after all. I should find a safer place first."
Ji Yuan silently activated his defenses and found shelter in a basement.
How could he be so careless? Phantylia could kill him, and stray bullets on the battlefield could just as easily end his life.
He carefully dodged into the basement, and Ji Yuan proceeded to set up detection and defense devices in the four corners of the room.
Only after doing so did he feel a little more at ease.
"Next, it's time to check on Tingyun."
Ji Yuan clenched his fist.
He had secretly used the teleportation device to get outside, not just to catch his breath. More than that, he desperately wanted to know Tingyun's condition.
Where had she gone? Was she still alive? Ji Yuan had no idea. He urgently needed to know Tingyun's true situation and see her current state.
If she was still alive, Ji Yuan would find a way to rescue her. If, by some misfortune, she had perished, Ji Yuan would find a way to avenge her.
Ji Yuan didn't know where Phantylia had taken Tingyun. Fortunately, he had acquired a divination skill during a previous mission.
