My Honkai: Star Rail System Arrived Early

Ji Yuan spoke to Tingyun, "There's a group of Buli Ren lurking not far from here. Wait a moment, I'll lure them over to destroy this place, then make it look like they plan to attack the factory from this side. I'll prepare in advance, letting the Cloud Knights here discover these Buli Ren. When the two sides engage in a major battle, this place will be blown to smithereens. Even if Phantylia comes looking, she'll only find a few fragments of you."

"Luring the Buli Ren here? How will you manage that? Also, won't Phantylia become suspicious if they're lured over like this?"

Tingyun listened to Ji Yuan's words, feeling there were too many loopholes.

"Yes, that's why it needs a scapegoat," Ji Yuan said, pointing at the Suiyang.

"Although Phantylia is already a Destruction Lord, her setup here still relies on the Suiyang's usual methods. In this situation, isn't it normal for another Suiyang to discover it and cause some destruction?"

"Mmm..."

Tingyun pondered for a moment, feeling that shifting the blame to the Suiyang was somewhat plausible.

"Although I'm still uncertain, this is the best way," Ji Yuan quickly told Tingyun. "I'll use the Suiyang to possess a Buli Ren right now. Once they arrive, I'll immediately use the spatial transfer device to move you and the Star-skiff away. The spatial transfer device can transfer us to the satellite we were on before at its furthest range. You can leave from there. Oh, right, can you pilot a Star-skiff?"

Ji Yuan remembered a question and asked Tingyun.

Star-skiffs for free navigation like those on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel are fine, but these Star-skiffs that travel at light speed require someone to operate them.

Hearing Ji Yuan's question, Tingyun immediately assured him, "Of course. Every one of us Foxians is a natural expert at piloting Star-skiffs. Although I can't be a pilot due to my physical condition, I still have the necessary piloting skills."

"That's all that matters. Come, let's begin. We need to be quick. The moment this place explodes, you need to start flying out."

Saying that, Ji Yuan took out the spatial transfer device again.

Seeing this, Tingyun's expression began to show a sense of familiarity.

No matter how many more things Ji Yuan took out, she wouldn't be too surprised.

As a loving partner, she would never pry into how many more little secrets Ji Yuan had.

Tingyun remembered something and asked Ji Yuan, "Right, after I fly out, should I return directly to the Luofu Starfaring Vessel to report to the General?"

The Destruction Lord Phantylia transforming into her likeness and infiltrating the Starfaring Vessel was something that, by all accounts, was a very serious matter. Tingyun felt it was absolutely necessary to report this to General Jing Yuan.

"For now, don't return to the Starfaring Vessel. To be honest, it's quite obvious that someone from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus on the Starfaring Vessel has colluded with Phantylia this time. If you go back directly like this, you might be intercepted by people from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. I'll quietly report Phantylia's identity to General Jing Yuan when I return to the Starfaring Vessel."

For the next few days, he would enjoy himself with Phantylia, trying to gain more from her, and then immediately report the situation to General Jing Yuan upon returning to the Starfaring Vessel. With the General handling it, their side would be much safer.

Ji Yuan had no grand ambitions. Dealing with a Destruction Lord was the job of the Cloud Knights' General. He would honestly just try to gain some benefits, some skills, and most importantly, try to protect his own life.

"Okay."

Tingyun nodded in agreement.

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and said to her, "I remember you saying the Herta Space Station isn't far from here, right? Would you like to go there? Try to disguise yourself there for a while, and be careful not to reveal your identity."

He had seen news that the protagonist group was about to arrive at the Herta Space Station. Ji Yuan didn't trust anyone else, but the protagonists' group was relatively reliable.

Tingyun being by their side was the greatest safety guarantee Ji Yuan could think of.

"Alright, I'll head directly to the Herta Space Station then."

Tingyun was very obedient about this.

Ji Yuan would absolutely not harm her; Tingyun believed this wholeheartedly now.

Let alone sending her to the Herta Space Station, even if he asked her to face an Aeon, Tingyun would do it.

Thinking about it, time was pressing, and Ji Yuan had nothing more to say.

The rest would depend on Tingyun's ability to adapt.

This was the limit of what he could think of.

He had no other options.

He opened the transfer device and gestured for Tingyun and the Star-skiff to enter first.

"The rest is up to you."

Ji Yuan bid Tingyun farewell.

"Mmm, I believe we'll meet again soon."

Tingyun hugged Ji Yuan and kissed him on the lips.

It wasn't a long kiss, but Ji Yuan could feel the love contained within Tingyun's heart.

At the same time, she reached out and took off the glasses Ji Yuan was wearing.

While Ji Yuan was taken aback, she put them on herself.

"Looking at your expression just now, that doesn't seem like a good thing. Here, let me see."

After putting them on, her expression froze.

Especially when she looked at Ji Yuan, her face instantly turned red.

She now understood why Ji Yuan hadn't wanted her to look at this earlier.

It was truly spectacular!

Tingyun even glanced at Ji Yuan a couple more times.

Ji Yuan quickly reached out to get the glasses back.

"Shameless~"

Tingyun let out a soft tut.

She returned the glasses to Ji Yuan.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, Tingyun moved to enter the teleportation device.

However, just before she could step inside, Ji Yuan once again pulled a phone-like device from his pocket and tossed it to Tingyun.

"What's this?"

Tingyun asked Ji Yuan as she caught it.

"A special communication device. We'll use this to contact each other, and even the Emissaries won't be able to detect it," Ji Yuan replied to Tingyun.

As Tingyun looked at herself through the glasses, the system came back online.

[You and the beautiful widow made an honest acquaintance, rewarding you with Stamina +1. May you go further down the path of the 'Cao Thief'.]

You and the Helmsman of the Ten Ship Departments made an honest acquaintance, rewarding you with a pair of intimate couple's communication phones, with strict encryption to ensure they won't be discovered.

Seeing only two achievements pop up this time, Ji Yuan was overjoyed.

Tingyun's fated death had finally been averted by him.

Chapter 58: Tingyun's Escape in Progress (Part 2) [Second Update]

Tingyun and the star-skiff were then transferred by Ji Yuan to the satellite in outer space.

Her safety now depended on her own actions.

He could handle things here, but he had little influence over her actions in outer space.

However, the star-skiff she was piloting was fast enough, so there shouldn't be any danger.

While transferring her, Ji Yuan began to use the Suiyang Subjugation Art, directing Suiyang towards the nest where the Buli Ren were hiding.

The Buli Ren were cautiously hiding underground.

They desperately wanted to fight the people of the Xianzhou, as the two sides harbored deep hatred for each other.

However, they were also intelligent beings. While the Buli Ren were inherently cruel and enjoyed killing and plundering, they weren't beasts driven solely by predatory desires. They knew that rushing to fight the Cloud Knights now would be pure suicide. Thus, they could only hide here, waiting for the day the Cloud Knights would leave.

Unfortunately, they overestimated their own patience. As the Cloud Knights remained for an extended period, their mental agitation increased daily.

It was at this moment that Ji Yuan's Suiyang entered the mind of one of the Buli Ren.

For Suiyang to possess someone, it was crucial to align with their emotions. Currently, these Buli Ren were filled with a desire for destruction, which perfectly matched Ji Yuan's own intentions.

Instantly, the Buli Ren's mind was filled with the urge to fight the Cloud Knights.

Kill, kill, kill! We Buli Ren always fight the Xianzhou Alliance to the bitter end. Why should we hide?

"Roar!"

He let out a wolf-like howl, immediately gripped his biological weapon, and began to dig and attack in the direction of Ji Yuan.

Seeing their comrade suddenly charge forward in a frenzy, the other Buli Ren, after a moment's thought, decided to give up all hope.

Staying here meant death, and attacking also meant death. Waiting here to starve to death was worse than fighting the Cloud Knights to the death! Besides, what if they could break through?

Wouldn't that be carving out a path to survival?

Ji Yuan watched as the Buli Ren began their assault and made his final preparations.

He glanced at the 'Tingyun' corpse, picked it up, and placed it against the wall where the Buli Ren were attacking.

He didn't personally touch the 'Tingyun' corpse, as Ji Yuan believed that even if only a fragment remained, Phantylia might still be able to discern something.

Ji Yuan couldn't afford to take that risk.

Boom!

A deafening explosion ripped through the small room. The 'Tingyun' corpse leaning against the wall instantly disintegrated into pieces, and the entire space was splattered with gore.

At that moment, Ji Yuan had already retrieved Suiyang into his own space and used the transfer device to return to his headquarters.

After reclaiming the dummy, Ji Yuan listened to Huohuo's snoring from the room and knew she hadn't discovered anything, feeling a slight sense of relief.

He looked himself over and immediately headed to the shower.

He decided to take a shower first.

Turning on the shower, Ji Yuan began to wash his body. Midway through his shower, his system suddenly issued a notification.

[Your body has been scanned by the Lord of Destruction. She is quite impressed with your physical condition. The system has specially rewarded you with two sets of rare 18x books.]

This achievement was nothing special, and neither were the rewards.

However, the information contained within it sent a cold sweat down Ji Yuan's spine.

Fortunately, he had the transfer device, fortunately, he had returned in time, and fortunately, the system's retrieval space was effective, preventing any trace of Suiyang from leaking out.

Otherwise...

Ji Yuan couldn't help but shudder.

He quickly turned the shower knob and muttered to himself, "Even though this headquarters is so wealthy, why can't they fix this problem of not being able to adjust hot and cold water properly?"

As he said this, he began to clean himself thoroughly.

"Something happened over there?"

When the Buli Ren attacked, Phantylia quickly sensed it.

However, because she was disguised as Tingyun and pretending to be asleep, she received the news a few seconds late.

She immediately transferred to that location.

Seeing the Buli Ren fighting the Cloud Knights, she frowned and went to investigate the place where Tingyun was located. There were body fragments in the basement. Phantylia examined them carefully and found that they were indeed Tingyun's body tissues. If nothing unexpected happened, Tingyun had indeed died here.

"But why would the Buli Ren attack this place?"

She muttered to herself.

She had discovered the Buli Ren before but hadn't dealt with them. After all, she couldn't think of any reason for those Buli Ren to attack here. Even if they couldn't hold back over there, they would only attack the Cloud Knights, not the space she had placed underground.

Just as Phantylia was about to suspect others, she immediately sensed the aura of a Suiyang having acted here.

The security measures she had set up were also arranged according to the Suiyang's usual methods.

It wasn't impossible for a passing Suiyang to cause destruction here.

But, How could a Suiyang appear here?

The Firebringer was sealed by the IPC, and there weren't many rogue Suiyangs in the universe.
