My Honkai: Star Rail System Arrived Early

Seeing that Phantylia had been lingering there for a while, Ji Yuan confirmed that this should be where Tingyun was.

"Alright, the location is confirmed. All that's left is to wait until I return with Phantylia, and then find an opportunity to look for Tingyun."

Ji Yuan clenched his fist.

The red dot remained stationary for another period before starting to return. In what felt like the blink of an eye, Phantylia was back. Ji Yuan sat there, and soon Phantylia emerged.

She walked in small steps behind Ji Yuan, intending to cover his eyes with her hands. However, the moment she reached his back, Ji Yuan had already turned his head.

"Hmph~, you brat, why are you so sensitive?" Phantylia let out a soft, coquettish hum of complaint, expressing her dissatisfaction with Ji Yuan. Then, before Ji Yuan could react, she patted his waist: "Okay, work is done, let's go back. Your bed is really comfortable to sleep in, I quite like it."

At this moment, other members of the Cloud Knights passed by and couldn't help but glance sideways upon hearing the conversation between Ji Yuan and Phantylia.

What, are they living together now?

Ji Yuan stood up and retorted to Phantylia, "I've been sleeping in Changchang's room these past few days. If you stay, are you not going to let my sister sleep?"

Phantylia blinked her eyes, "I took your room, and then you went to take Changchang's room?"

"That's right. It's better to sacrifice my sister than to sacrifice myself."

Ji Yuan nodded with a serious expression.

"Pfft— Changchang is truly fortunate to have such a good brother."

Phantylia couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Yes, I think so too."

Ji Yuan wholeheartedly agreed with Phantylia's words.

Phantylia reached out and grabbed Ji Yuan, pulling him towards the outside, "Alright, I'll let you off tonight. I'll go back to my own room and sleep with Huohuo. Tonight, don't think of me~"

"Not at all."

"Really?" Phantylia lightly tickled the palm of Ji Yuan's hand. The fleeting, itchy sensation made Ji Yuan feel the exact same touch as Tingyun.

"Yes."

Ji Yuan replied somewhat uncomfortably.

Seeing his shy and awkward demeanor, Phantylia chuckled inwardly.

As if to change the subject, Ji Yuan quickly continued, "Oh right, after you get back, call Huohuo over. I still need to properly teach her about the Suiyang Subjugation Art and the Suiyang Identification Guide."

"Mhm, okay."

Phantylia nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Although she was also of the Suiyang race, she harbored no sympathy for her own kind.

The difference in their levels was too great; they could no longer be considered the same species.

The two returned to headquarters.

950180 909

On the way, Phantylia had teased Ji Yuan several times.

Her actions were more natural and fluid than before. Ji Yuan mused that she must have learned more from Tingyun.

"I'll go call Huohuo, you go back to your room and wait."

"Okay."

Ji Yuan returned to his room.

Looking at the bed that he hadn't had the chance to sleep in for several days, Ji Yuan simply collapsed onto his back.

Ah, it really is comfortable.

The bed was spacious, the comforter was incredibly soft, and there was that pleasant scent...

Remembering that it was Phantylia's scent, Ji Yuan's expression briefly faltered.

He also heard the system's voice in his ear.

[You did not maintain close protection of Phantylia. Action failed, no reward.]

Great, didn't get anything.

But it was fine, as long as he knew Tingyun's location.

After a while, there was a very faint knock on the door.

"Te-teacher, I, I'm here..."

Huohuo's voice came from outside.

"Mm, I'm here."

Ji Yuan got off the bed and walked to the door, opening it.

Huohuo stood there, looking nervous. Upon seeing Ji Yuan, she visibly relaxed, her expression easing considerably.

The Tail Master grumbled unhappily at Ji Yuan, "What kind of magic do you have? Huohuo looked very tense around the passing Cloud Knights, but she relaxed the moment she saw you."

"It's probably because I'm steady and reassuring," Ji Yuan replied to Tail Master.

Steady?

Tail Master conjured two middle fingers and pointed them at Ji Yuan.

Huohuo then asked Ji Yuan, "Tea... Teacher, what are we learning today?"

Glancing at Tail Master, Ji Yuan said to Huohuo, "Of course, it's training for the combat methods you used before."

Tail Master instantly felt a sense of dread.

Last time's combat method?

Wasn't it just throwing itself?

No, not that!

Tail Master was terrified inwardly, but Ji Yuan paid it no mind.

"Come on, Huohuo, treat me as the enemy and throw Tail Master."

"Okay, okay..."

Huohuo nodded, then clasped her hands together and said to Tail Master, "Tail Master, I'm sorry."

As she said this, before Tail Master could react, she grabbed it and began to throw it.

Tail Master's expression was one of utter despair.

After practicing throwing, Ji Yuan then analyzed the problems Huohuo had. Huohuo studied diligently, and finally, being utterly exhausted, she fell asleep on the sofa.

Tail Master was also tired. It had been flying around the whole time, which was a massive drain on its spirit. It also closed its eyes and began to rest.

Ji Yuan looked at the sleeping Huohuo and picked her up, placing her on his bed.

"Well, I still can't sleep in this bed."

Ji Yuan walked out of the room, closing the bedroom door behind him.

He had called Huohuo over precisely to prevent her from having prolonged contact with Phantylia.

At the same time, it was to give himself time to leave.

Ji Yuan first began to set up a spell on himself.

Although there was a huge difference between him and Phantylia, he possessed the Suiyang Identification Guide, which allowed him to find spells that could evade her detection. This way, when he found Tingyun later, he could avoid his tracks being discovered.

Of course, he couldn't use this in front of Phantylia; if he did, she would definitely notice.

He quickly took out his dummy and then initiated a spatial transfer to the outside.

Soon, he appeared outside the headquarters.

Recalling the direction he had previously recorded, Ji Yuan said softly, "Tingyun, wait for me. I'm coming to find you right away."

As he spoke, he quickly set off in that direction.

To avoid Phantylia discovering his tracks, he repeatedly used spatial teleportation techniques. It didn't take long before he arrived at Tingyun's location.

This was a factory that supplied energy. Because of its important location, the Cloud Knights had secured it the moment they landed on this planet.

Ji Yuan could still see many Cloud Knights patrolling the area.

Phantylia daring to place Tingyun here was a demonstration of her confidence in her own strength.

She was confident in her abilities, but Ji Yuan was not.

However, he had many cheat items, so it wasn't entirely hopeless.

Picking up the X-ray glasses, Ji Yuan began to observe the factory from a distance.

"Hmm, it's originally a prop for lewd purposes, a reward from when I was messing around with 'the widow.' It's a shame I'm such a decent person, so I can only use it for rescuing people."

Ignoring the 'naked' Cloud Knights, Ji Yuan looked underground.

His glasses offered excellent vision, and even dozens of meters of soil couldn't block his sight. The peeping capability of these glasses was truly remarkable.

At this moment, he unexpectedly discovered that underground, not far from the factory, there was a unit of Buli Ren. They were lurking there, seemingly planning something.

Turning his gaze further, he finally saw, not far underground within the factory, a completely blank room.

There was also a person inside this blank room.

It was Tingyun.

"She's right there."

Ji Yuan excitedly clenched his fist.

He would be able to see her again soon.

However, amidst his excitement, he noticed that Tingyun was currently "completely unclothed," and his cheeks instantly turned red.

This was the first time he had seen a girl's body since arriving at the Celestial Ark over a hundred years ago. Especially, this was Tingyun's body.

He confirmed Tingyun's location and quickly took off his glasses.

He couldn't look anymore.

If he looked again, he would truly become a beast.

Ji Yuan activated spatial teleportation and began to transport himself.

With a burst of spatial teleportation, Ji Yuan felt his feet land in a pure white space.

There was nothing else around; only in the center of the room was a bound beauty.

Tingyun.

He had finally seen her again.

Carefully sensing the surrounding energy fluctuations, Ji Yuan confirmed that he would not be detected.

Then he stepped forward and walked up to Tingyun.

"Finally, I see you again."

Ji Yuan felt that the tension in his nerves, which had been taut for the past two days, could finally relax.

Even though there were still many dangers and many difficulties to resolve, Ji Yuan felt that he could finally relax for a little while.

He hugged Tingyun tightly, his arms trembling slightly.

He carefully felt the warmth of Tingyun's body, reluctant to let go.

However, he glanced at Tingyun, whose eyes were vacant, and Ji Yuan still let her go. Then he used the Sun-Stealing Technique, absorbing the energy controlling Tingyun into his own body.
