My Honkai: Star Rail System Arrived Early Chapter 42

Sushang, however, spoke up frankly, defending her brother.

"Actually, speaking proportionally by age, Huohuo, you're about the same age as us, right?"

Hearing this, Huohuo became even more shy and afraid to speak.

Sushang, seeing that she couldn't understand what was going on with Huohuo at all, turned to her older brother.

Brother, you're educated, you tell me.

Faced with this situation, Ji Yuan simply shrugged.

These things aren't explained in books either.

Seeing that Ji Yuan also didn't know, Sushang became happy.

Hmph, you don't know things either. Don't always say I read less from now on.

Meanwhile, Ji Yuan also found an opportunity to communicate with Tingyun.

Only after knowing that the star-skiff had successfully arrived did he finally feel relieved. Now that they were at Herta Space Station, Tingyun's safety could be largely guaranteed; she was finally safe.

Tingyun also asked Ji Yuan about his situation. Ji Yuan could only tell her that everything was fine.

Tingyun looked on, her worry slightly easing.

It's good that everyone is fine.

"Let's go, we're preparing to leave."

Sitting on the command ship, the main general of this operation, Genyi, said to everyone.

Ji Yuan, Phantylia, Huohuo, and Yanqing stood beside him.

After verifying the last batch of prisoners and loading the last batch of spoils, the Luofu Starfaring Vessel's army also prepared to withdraw.

The results of this operation were significant. Not only were numerous Buli Ren armies eliminated, but a large number of spoils were also brought back. This was rarely seen in previous battles; the Luofu Starfaring Vessel had profited handsomely this time.

After all the fleets had flown into outer space, Genyi continued:

"Next, there's one last thing we need to do."

With that, he immediately issued an order. Instantly, the long-range weapons on all the star-skiff fleets were activated, unleashing full firepower at the planet before them.

In an instant, the planet turned into a sea of fire.

Even though Huohuo had experienced battle, she was still nervous and covered her mouth at the sight.

Genyi looked at Ji Yuan and the others and taught them: "Watch closely. After defeating Abundance Fiends in the future, you must carry out this kind of clean-up. Otherwise, letting even one Abundance Fiend escape is a scourge upon the entire universe."

"But aren't there indigenous animals on these planets?"

Huohuo asked Genyi.

Genyi said resolutely: "Compared to a star system, a single planet is nothing. If we show any sympathy in our war against the Abundance, it will only lead to countless casualties."

"Mhm."

Ji Yuan, Sushang, and the others nodded, though they still felt a pang of reluctance in their hearts.

Genyi waved his hand: "Alright, let's not talk about these heavy topics anymore. After we return this time, the Celestial Ark Alliance will likely give you a good long vacation. You should relax properly then."

"Mhm, mhm! I'll definitely take a good look around the Luofu Starfaring Vessel then."

Sushang was the happiest.

Phantylia glanced sideways at Ji Yuan.

With a vacation, I'll have more time to find him.

Ji Yuan looked at Phantylia's gaze and secretly despaired.

If she keeps a close eye on me, how will I report to General Jing Yuan?

Each of them had their own thoughts, some nervous, some happy.

Then, the star-skiffs began to activate and set course for the Luofu Starfaring Vessel.

The journey through the sea of stars was long and boring. Phantylia wanted to tease Ji Yuan again, but discovered he had been dragged away by Yanqing to practice swordplay.

At this moment, she could better understand Tingyun's feelings of annoyance towards this bratty Yanqing.

"Big Brother, your swordsmanship has improved so quickly! I thought you were busy with other things and didn't have time to practice."

After being defeated in nearly a hundred moves, Yanqing couldn't help but praise Ji Yuan.

"I have been a bit busy lately, but perhaps facing real combat has given me some insights."

Ji Yuan replied with a smile.

Although he hadn't exchanged swordsmanship with Yanqing these past few days, it was because he had recently acquired a new sword technique, and more importantly, his physical fitness had greatly increased, allowing him to last more moves against Yanqing.

Stretching his body, Ji Yuan and Yanqing decided to head back. Just then, Genyi's communication came through.

[Ji Yuan, Yanqing: Does Lord Genyi require something?]

"Genyi: It's like this, someone up ahead wants to hitch a ride with our fleet. You two go and greet them."

Upon hearing Genyi's words, Ji Yuan understood the general situation.

The person arriving was not weak in status or strength, worthy of the Xianzhou's serious attention. However, they weren't of paramount importance to the Xianzhou, otherwise Genyi would have greeted them personally. Ji Yuan deduced that he and Yanqing were sent to welcome this person merely to maintain proper etiquette.

"Yanqing: Lord Genyi, who are we going to greet?"

"Genyi: Do you know about the Genius Society?"

"Yanqing: Yes, I know. It's the organization of the Omniscient Heavenly Lord."

"Genyi: That's right. The person you'll be greeting this time is member number 81 of the Genius Society, a life sciences expert, Ruan Mei."

"Ji Yuan: I understand, Lord Genyi."

Immediately after, the two hung up and headed towards the reception area.

Ji Yuan's expression was somewhat excited.

Another big shot. He wondered how much he could "scrounge" from this encounter.

Not long after Ji Yuan and Yanqing arrived at the docking area for greetings, a small flying ship landed before them.

Then, a beauty with black hair in a qipao stepped out of the flying ship.

"Hello, I am Ruan Mei. Please take care of me."

Chapter 61: The Woman Who Cultivated an Emissary [First Update] [3k]

The woman before them was not tall, but she possessed an exceptional Eastern aura.

She wore a navel-baring, hollowed-out blue qipao over black mesh. The qipao's hem was slit high, revealing a pair of alluring, beautiful legs. Her delicate high heels further accentuated her mature charm.

Unlike Tingyun's youthful playfulness, Ruan Mei exuded a steady and mature presence.

Her black hair was tied up, adorned with a hairpin, and a plum blossom ornament was placed on one side of her hair as an accent.

She presented an image of a noble and resplendent beauty from the East.

A smile graced her lips, making her seem approachable.

However, as Ji Yuan looked at Ruan Mei, he always felt a deep indifference beneath her friendly expression.

She doesn't care about us at all.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

But considering her status as a member of the Genius Society, her intelligence was likely unfathomably higher than that of ordinary people like them.

Although Ji Yuan also called himself a genius, the difference in intellect between him and a member of the Genius Society was probably greater than the difference between him and a dog.

Her indifference was normal.

He just didn't know how to get anything from her.

While Ji Yuan was still contemplating, Yanqing had already begun introducing them.

"Ms. Ruan Mei, hello. I am Yanqing, and this is Ji Yuan. We are here to welcome you on Lord Genyi's orders."

"Yanqing? Are you the disciple of that Luofu General? It's a pleasure to meet you both. Is Mr. Genyi waiting for me? Alright, please lead the way."

Ruan Mei spoke to them very politely.

As Ji Yuan led the way, he asked her, "Is there something specific you're here for?"

Ruan Mei shook her head and said gently, "I don't have any specific business here. My small flying ship experienced a minor fuel leak due to a small mishap with an experimental organism, and it can't sustain our journey to the next planet. So, I saw you and wanted to hitch a ride."

Yanqing, with his youthful spirit, felt a surge of heroic pride upon seeing someone in need. He patted his chest and assured Ruan Mei, "Don't worry, our Luofu Starfaring Vessel will definitely help you."

"Thank you," Ruan Mei smiled and nodded. She then took out a box from her small bag and offered two pastries to Ji Yuan and Yanqing.

"These are the last two I had left from my journey. Would you like to try them?"

"Thank you."

Yanqing happily took them from Ruan Mei and popped them into his mouth.

Ji Yuan, however, looked at Ruan Mei a few more times.

He recalled that Ruan Mei was an expert in life sciences. So, had Ruan Mei created a bunch of organisms on her small flying vessel?

What if something like Alien happened?

That would make things very interesting on the ship.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

He put the pastries away and said to Ruan Mei, "Uh, I've had a bit of a toothache lately, so I'll save these to eat later when my teeth feel better."

"Mm,"

Ruan Mei glanced at him but didn't say much more.

Afterward, Ji Yuan and Yanqing led Ruan Mei to the command center.

Genyi had stepped out to greet them there.

Ji Yuan and Yanqing found it boring to stay there, so after escorting Ruan Mei to the command center, they left.

As the two departed, Ji Yuan forcefully tapped Yanqing on the head.

Normally, Yanqing, a genius in swordsmanship, was highly perceptive of danger. However, he let his guard down completely around Ji Yuan. When Ji Yuan struck, Yanqing was hit on the head without any defense.

"Big Brother, what are you doing?"

With his head tapped like that, Yanqing covered it and asked Ji Yuan with a wronged expression.

Ji Yuan warned Yanqing, "I'm here to warn you not to trust others so easily. You ate something given to you by a stranger? What if Ruan Mei intended to harm you?"

"Harm me?" Yanqing tilted his head in thought, then quickly shook it. "That's impossible. Why would she want to harm me? Besides, who would bother harming someone from our Celestial Ark Alliance?"

The Celestial Ark Alliance was notoriously vengeful and held grudges.

If you tried to trick someone from the Alliance, you would either kill them outright, or if even one survived, they would bring upon you endless pursuit.

"Still, you need to be careful. Life is precious and you only get one. If you get killed, even if someone avenges you, your life won't return."

"Alright, Big Brother, I understand."

Yanqing nodded aggrievedly.

Ji Yuan observed Yanqing closely for a while and found that indeed, there were no issues with him.

Thinking about it, Yanqing was right that no one would easily provoke someone from the Celestial Ark Alliance. More importantly, Ruan Mei had nothing to gain from them, so there was no reason for her to scheme.

With this thought, his mood settled slightly.

At this moment, a system voice sounded in Ji Yuan's ear.

[You acted as a greeter and welcomed Ms. Ruan Mei, an expert in life sciences and a member of the Genius Society, who is renowned for cultivating an Aeon. The system rewards you with a set of introductory books on life sciences.]

Seeing this achievement, Ji Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
