Seeing that Phantylia had stayed over there for some time, Ji Yuan confirmed that Tingyun should be there.
"Alright, the location is confirmed. All that remains is to return with Phantylia, then find an opportunity to look for Tingyun."
Ji Yuan clenched his fist.
The red dot remained still for a while longer before beginning to return. In almost the blink of an eye, Phantylia had returned here. Ji Yuan sat there, and Phantylia soon came out.
She tiptoed behind Ji Yuan, wanting to reach out and cover his eyes. But the moment she arrived behind him, Ji Yuan had already turned his head around.
"Hmph~, why are you so quick to react?" Phantylia gave a wronged little huff, expressing her dissatisfaction with Ji Yuan. Then, before he could react, she patted his waist. "Alright, work is over. Let's go back. Your bed really is quite comfortable. I rather like it."
At that moment, several other Cloud Knights passed by. Hearing Ji Yuan and Phantylia's conversation, they could not help but glance over.
Th-this, were they living together?
Ji Yuan stood up and complained to Phantylia, "I've been sleeping in Changchang's room these past few days. If you keep occupying my room, are you planning to stop my little sister from sleeping?"
Phantylia blinked. "I took over your room, so you went and took over Changchang's room?"
"Yeah. Sacrificing my little sister is better than sacrificing myself."
Ji Yuan nodded solemnly.
"Pfft—Changchang is truly fortunate to have such a wonderful older brother."
Phantylia could not help laughing.
"Yeah, I think so too."
Ji Yuan thoroughly agreed with Phantylia's words.
Phantylia reached out, grabbed Ji Yuan, and led him outside. "Alright, I'll let you off tonight. I'll go back to my own room later and sleep with Huohuo. Tonight, don't miss me, okay~?"
"Not even a little."
"Really?" Phantylia lightly scratched Ji Yuan's palm. That frivolous, ticklish sensation felt exactly like Tingyun's touch.
"Really."
Ji Yuan answered somewhat awkwardly.
Seeing his embarrassed and uncomfortable appearance, Phantylia secretly laughed to herself.
Seemingly to change the subject, Ji Yuan hurriedly continued, "Oh, right. After you return, call Huohuo over. I still need to properly teach her about the Suiyang Subjugation Art and the Suiyang Identification Guide."
"Mm-hmm, alright."
Phantylia nodded without a care.
Although she too was a Suiyang, she held no sympathy for her own kind.
The difference in their levels was simply too vast. They could no longer even be considered the same species.
The two returned to headquarters.
950180 909
Along the way, Phantylia teased Ji Yuan several times.
Her movements were more natural and fluid than before. Ji Yuan thought that she must have learned more from Tingyun.
"I'll go call Huohuo. You can head back to your room and wait."
"Mm."
Ji Yuan returned to his room.
Looking at the large bed that he had not gotten to sleep in for several days, Ji Yuan fell backward onto it.
Mm, it really was comfortable.
The bed was large enough, the blanket was genuinely soft, and there was that fragrant scent...
Remembering that it was Phantylia's scent, Ji Yuan's expression froze slightly.
The system's voice rang out beside his ear.
You did not maintain close protection of Phantylia. Mission failed. No reward.
Well, he got nothing.
Still, forget it. It was enough that he knew Tingyun's location.
After a while, there came an extremely soft knock at the door.
"T-teacher, I-I'm here..."
Huohuo's voice came from outside.
"Mm, I'm coming."
Ji Yuan got off the bed, walked to the door, and opened it.
Huohuo stood there with a tense expression, but after seeing Ji Yuan, she let out a sigh of relief and relaxed considerably.
Tail Master was quite dissatisfied as he said to Ji Yuan, "Who knows what sort of magic you have. Huohuo gets extremely nervous seeing all these Cloud Knights coming and going around her, but she relaxes as soon as she sees you."
"Because I'm a steady and dependable person."
Ji Yuan answered Tail Master.
Steady?
Tail Master conjured two middle fingers and pointed them at Ji Yuan.
Huohuo then asked Ji Yuan, "T-teacher, what are we learning today?"
Glancing at Tail Master, Ji Yuan said to Huohuo, "Of course, we'll be training the combat method you used before."
Tail Master instantly had a bad feeling.
The previous combat method?
Wasn't that just throwing him out?
No, not that!
Tail Master trembled inwardly.
But Ji Yuan paid him no mind.
"Come, Huohuo. Treat me as the enemy and throw Tail Master at me."
"Mm, mm..."
Huohuo nodded. Then she pressed her hands together and said to Tail Master, "Tail Master, I'm sorry."
Before Tail Master could react, she grabbed him and began throwing him.
Tail Master wore an utterly dead expression.
They first practiced throwing, then Ji Yuan analyzed Huohuo's problems for her. Huohuo studied diligently, but eventually she was simply too exhausted and fell asleep on the sofa.
Tail Master was exhausted as well. He had been flying back and forth the entire time, and that was an enormous drain on his spirit. He closed his eyes and began resting too.
Looking at the sleeping Huohuo, Ji Yuan picked her up and placed her on his bed.
"Well, looks like I still can't sleep in this bed."
Ji Yuan left the room and closed the bedroom door behind him.
He had called Huohuo over to prevent her from spending too much time with Phantylia.
At the same time, it gave him the chance to leave.
Ji Yuan first began setting up an art on himself.
Although the gap between him and Phantylia was enormous, he had the Suiyang Identification Guide, which could find arts capable of evading her detection. This way, once he found Tingyun, he could avoid having his tracks discovered.
Of course, he could not use this in front of Phantylia. The moment he activated it, Phantylia would definitely notice.
He quickly took out his dummy, then used spatial transfer to head outside.
Very soon,
he appeared outside headquarters.
Recalling the direction he had recorded earlier, Ji Yuan softly said,
"Tingyun, wait for me. I'll be there to find you soon."
With that, he quickly set off in that direction.
To avoid letting Phantylia discover his trail, he used spatial teleportation several times. It did not take long before he arrived at where Tingyun was being held.
This was an energy supply factory. Because of its importance, the Cloud Knights had seized control of it the moment they arrived on this planet.
Even here, Ji Yuan could see quite a few Cloud Knights patrolling.
The fact that Phantylia dared to place Tingyun here was proof of her confidence in her own strength.
She had confidence in her strength, but Ji Yuan did not.
Still, he had plenty of cheats. It was not as though he had no options.
Taking out the X-Ray Glasses, Ji Yuan began observing the factory from afar.
Mm, they were originally a naughty little prop, a reward from fooling around with the widow. Unfortunately, he was an upright man, so he could only use them to save someone.
Ignoring those "naked" Cloud Knights, Ji Yuan looked underground.
His glasses had exceptional vision. Even dozens of meters of soil could not obstruct his sight. Their peeping capabilities were truly obvious.
At that moment, he unexpectedly discovered a Buli Ren unit underground not far from the factory. They were lying in wait there, seemingly planning something.
Turning his head to look further, he finally saw a completely blank room not far beneath the factory.
There was someone inside that blank room.
It was Tingyun.
"She's there."
Ji Yuan excitedly clenched his fist.
He would soon be able to see her again.
But amid his excitement, he saw that Tingyun was currently "not wearing a stitch," and his cheeks instantly turned red.
This was the first time in more than a hundred years since arriving at the Xianzhou that he had seen a girl's body. Especially since this was Tingyun's body.
After confirming Tingyun's location, he hurriedly took off the glasses.
He could not keep looking.
If he did, he would really become a beast.
Ji Yuan activated spatial teleportation and began transporting himself over.
As a wave of spatial transfer passed over him, Ji Yuan felt himself step into a pure white space.
There was nothing else around him. Only a bound beauty stood in the center of the room.
Tingyun,
he had finally seen her again.
Carefully sensing the energy fluctuations around him, Ji Yuan confirmed that he would not be discovered.
Then he stepped forward and walked up to Tingyun.
"Finally, I've seen you again."
Ji Yuan felt the nerves that had been taut for the past two days finally begin to relax.
Even though many dangers and difficulties remained unresolved, Ji Yuan felt that he could finally relax for a little while.
He tightly embraced Tingyun, his arms trembling slightly.
Feeling Tingyun's body temperature so carefully, he found himself reluctant to let go.
But after glancing at Tingyun's vacant eyes, Ji Yuan still released her. Then he used the Sun-Stealing Technique to absorb the energy controlling Tingyun into his own body.
