Why had she happened to appear here, and even stepped in to sabotage her plans?
Especially since Phantylia was completely unfamiliar with this Suiyang's aura.
It seemed to be a newly emerged, unfamiliar Suiyang.
Filled with suspicion, she quickly returned to headquarters and used her own methods to investigate Ji Yuan.
If Tingyun had faked her death, then Ji Yuan was the most suspicious person. She went to investigate now to see whether Ji Yuan would reveal any flaws.
Ji Yuan was taking a shower.
Phantylia was still maintaining Tingyun's way of thinking, and when she saw Ji Yuan naked, her expression became slightly awkward.
This little bug had such a great body...
She then set those feelings aside and began investigating Ji Yuan's surroundings, wanting to see whether there was anything suspicious about him. Ji Yuan's aura had always been present, with no signs that he had left. More importantly, there was nothing around him. Aside from Tail sleeping on the bed, there was not the slightest trace of any other Suiyang aura in the entire room.
It seemed that he really knew nothing.
But Phantylia still felt that something was off.
There were too many suspicious points in this matter, and Phantylia still could not fully trust Ji Yuan.
"Looks like I'll have to put in more effort and keep a firmer grip on him."
Phantylia lightly clenched her hand, intending to completely seize Ji Yuan in her grasp.
She then rose to her feet, gently opened her folding fan, and walked toward Ji Yuan's room with a smile at the corners of her lips.
Graceful and delicate, she moved with a fragile charm that made people want to pity her.
Ji Yuan, you should have rested enough by now. Next, it was time for you to let me tease you some more.
Tingyun's Imagination Was No Slouch Either
Ji Yuan was lying in his room when the phone he used exclusively to contact Tingyun received a message.
Tingyun: Ji Yuan, how are things on your end? Everything is fine on my side. The Star Skiff launched successfully, and I've already left this star system. After another two days of travel through the sea of stars, I should reach Herta Space Station.
This contact phone belonged exclusively to Tingyun and Ji Yuan. No one else could see it.
Seeing that Tingyun had left safely, Ji Yuan finally relaxed.
Others might be able to beat heaven by half a move. He could not manage that, but beating a Destruction Lord by half a move was still possible.
Ji Yuan: Mm, watch your safety. Once you get there, try not to expose your identity.
Tingyun: I'm fine. It's you I'm worried about. You'll be facing Phantylia directly, so you must be careful. If anything happens to you, I won't have the courage to go on living either.
Ji Yuan: Hey, hey, hey, it isn't that serious. I'm perfectly safe here. Phantylia has to pretend to be you while she interacts with me, so I'm not in any danger at all.
Tingyun: So, did she show you her feet too?
Ji Yuan: Cough, cough...
She had, and in all kinds of poses.
Tingyun: Did she do anything even more excessive?
Ji Yuan: Cough, cough, cough...
He had even touched them...
Tingyun: Damn Phantylia! She actually dared to impersonate me and do lewd things to you.
In the sea of stars, Tingyun drove the Star Skiff while gritting her teeth at Ji Yuan's reaction.
Though he had not said anything, Tingyun understood everything.
She could not help imagining Phantylia currently taking on her appearance and forcing Bai Ye to do all sorts of lewd things.
She was so jealous that she wanted to turn the Star Skiff around, ram straight into Phantylia, and perish together with her.
Her high-heeled foot stomped hard on the Star Skiff's controls, pushing its speed to the maximum.
Just wait. I'll be back very soon.
When that time came, she would definitely make it up to Ji Yuan for all the grievances he had suffered during this time.
Before Ji Yuan could reply, he heard Phantylia opening the door.
He quickly put away the chat phone and lay on the sofa, pretending to rest.
"Why are you here?"
Ji Yuan asked Phantylia.
Since he had sent Tingyun away, he was much more relaxed. Facing Phantylia, he could act more naturally and freely.
He even secretly sized up Phantylia's body.
Today, Phantylia was actually wearing a pair of white pantyhose, and instead of high heels, she had on slippers. Compared to her previous high-heeled look, she had lost some mature charm and gained a bit of the playful air of a girl next door.
White stockings usually made a girl's legs look thick and her skin look dark, but on Phantylia's legs, they did nothing of the sort. Instead, they highlighted the slenderness of her legs and the softness of her skin.
Phantylia sat down, her feet naturally slipping out of her slippers and appearing before Ji Yuan.
Her feet were like warm jade, exquisite and warm.
Tilting her head, Phantylia said to Ji Yuan, "How did you like what I bought from the spoils just now? Besides white, I also bought black, flesh-colored, red, and plenty of others. Do you want to see them?"
You're tempting me.
Ji Yuan thought to himself.
Then,
he nodded with complete honesty.
"I really want to."
Phantylia smiled happily.
Mm, that praise really did feel good.
"Then I'll show you later."
"By the way, what did you come here for?"
Ji Yuan looked at Phantylia and asked.
You didn't come here specifically to show me stockings, did you?
Phantylia had come to see what exactly was wrong with Ji Yuan. After getting close to him, she still did not sense any Suiyang aura on him, so she temporarily set aside her suspicions.
Teasing Ji Yuan was more enjoyable anyway.
First, I'll train this cute little bug into my dog.
She took out a small device from her pocket and handed it to Ji Yuan. "Naturally, I came to give you that protective device. What, after measuring for so long, was your real purpose not the defensive device, but simply to look at my physical fitness?"
"That can't be."
Ji Yuan had nearly forgotten about it.
He still needed to keep it for protection against any other dangers he might encounter.
"It's fine. Even if it were, I wouldn't mind."
By then, Phantylia had already leaned against Ji Yuan's side. Her white-clad foot silently stepped onto the top of his foot.
"After all, I didn't lose out either, did I?"
She smiled as she rubbed against the top of Ji Yuan's foot a few times, then shifted slightly away from him and naturally placed both feet on his thighs.
"I'm tired, so I'll rest them here for a while. Ji Yuan, don't let your hands wander."
Phantylia yawned, lowered her head, and smiled at Ji Yuan.
Watching her toes keep lifting toward his hands, Ji Yuan was speechless.
Fine.
I'm a fairly timid person. This is an Emanator of Destruction's wish, so naturally I can't refuse her.
Besides, the system will reward me too.
Ji Yuan's hand moved slightly, scratching the sole of Phantylia's foot through the white stockings.
His movements were subtle, the most maddeningly ticklish kind. Especially with that layer of white stockings between them, the sensation of his fingers touching her sole through the fabric instantly traveled from her feet to her brain.
Phantylia's leg trembled instinctively.
This feeling~
Phantylia experienced a sensation she had never felt before.
"Mm..."
A soft moan escaped her lips.
Seeing this, Ji Yuan immediately rubbed a few more times.
"I was wrong. Ji Yuan, please spare this little woman."
Tears spilled from the corners of Phantylia's eyes. She quickly curled her foot back and begged Ji Yuan for mercy.
Ji Yuan felt absolutely thrilled.
The visual experience was excellent, the tactile experience was excellent, and there was even the system reward.
You successfully teased Destruction Lord Phantylia. To encourage your actions and help you reach even greater heights, you have been specially rewarded with Hand Dexterity +10.
Though the reward was rather improper, it was genuinely useful.
Ji Yuan instantly felt that his hands had been strengthened tremendously.
He dared say that even the skilled craftsmen of the Artificer's Workshop might not have hand dexterity equal to his.
It would also become much easier for him to use sword techniques and the like.
Unfortunately, Phantylia was still in front of him, so it was not a good time to test exactly what effects his enhanced hands had.
Just as he was about to say something, he noticed that the bedroom door had opened a crack. From there, a pair of small eyes was watching them.
Seeing Ji Yuan look over, Huohuo immediately emerged in fright.
"T-Teacher, i-if I say I d-didn't see you t-tickling Sister Tingyun's feet, w-would you believe me?"
Ji Yuan and Phantylia were both speechless.
"Stupid Huohuo, didn't you just confess everything?"
Tail said in exasperation.
A Chance Encounter with Ruan Mei
Over the next few days, Phantylia still failed to find anything wrong with Ji Yuan.
Tingyun had already been sent away, and Ji Yuan knew Phantylia might be suspicious of him, so he stored everything on him inside the system space without exposing a single thing.
Come on, inspect all you want. I've got nothing on me.
The system space was at least extremely effective against an Emanator. Phantylia spent several days around Ji Yuan without discovering anything.
In the end, she simply showered Ji Yuan with benefits every day.
She had not lied. As spoils, Phantylia really had bought a huge pile of stockings.
White, black, red, flesh-colored, pantyhose, thigh-highs, ankle socks, stirrup stockings...
While silently cursing the Orion Trading Company's upper management for being decadent, Ji Yuan enjoyed the sight to his heart's content.
Huohuo seemed to have been frightened by Ji Yuan and Phantylia that day. Whenever she saw Ji Yuan, she shyly lowered her head and did not dare say much.
Over the past few days, Tail had practically become Huohuo's spokesperson. Whenever he saw Ji Yuan, he complained in dissatisfaction:
"Now I know you're not a lolicon. You're simply lecherous. But even if you're lecherous, pay attention to the occasion. Don't do that in front of a child."
Ji Yuan was in the wrong, so he did not say much.
