News from the Xianzhou Reaches the Express[First Update, 5k]

This stellar core eruption was caused by me, Dan Feng.

After finishing writing, Ren nodded.

Well, regardless of whether you come back or not, let me say you're back first.

Blade then walked off to another location.

Elio's script is no longer useful, so he should now act freely.

Chapter 101 News from the Xianzhou Reached the Train [First Update, 5k words]

The destruction brought about by the stellar core explosion is a relatively slow process. Even now that the stellar core has exploded, Ji Yuan and the others do not need to consider it the end of the world.

But when the star core erupted, Ji Yuan couldn't help but glance at Phantylia again.

Of course, after taking another look, he immediately realized something was wrong and quickly asked Phantylia, "Tingyun, were you alright when the star core erupted just now?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

Phantylia didn't doubt Ji Yuan's situation too much; on the contrary, she was secretly pleased that he cared about her.

She then asked Ji Yuan with concern, "But what exactly happened? Is it the work of those 'Disciples of Sanctus Medicus'?"

"I don't know." Ji Yuan shook his head at Phantylia. "This matter is probably related to recent events to some extent. We should hurry to the Divine Might Manor and ask the general for his opinion."

"Um."

Phantylia and Yanqing both nodded.

Then, they prepared to leave. However, before leaving, they reminded Bailu and the Dragon Master of the Vidyadhara that after they resolved this unexpected problem, they should take care of their own affairs immediately and be ready to come to the Divine Might Manor to carry out the next steps of their work.

After they finished, Ji Yuan and the others left.

Once aboard the Star Skiff, Phantylia noticed the traces and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"What happened? Did you encounter the enemy on the way?"

She asked Ji Yuan.

"Yes." Yanqing's face showed a look of frustration when she heard Phantylia ask this.

Clearly, he was still quite concerned about not being able to defeat Ren.

He sat at the entrance of the Star Skiff, seemingly trying to comprehend new sword techniques by gazing at the sky outside, hoping to defeat the Blade in one fell swoop.

Ji Yuan then said to Phantylia, "We just encountered Blade, the Stellaron Hunter, and fought with him."

"Stellaron Hunter..."

Upon Phantylia felt a slight ripple in his heart.

These Stellaron Hunter have caused some damage to the Anti-Matter Legion in the past, especially their leader Elio, whose prophetic abilities are a headache even for the Phantylia.

Of course, it's just a headache.

Despite their powerful prophetic abilities, their weaknesses in terms of raw strength were still quite obvious. The disparity in strength between the two sides meant she wasn't particularly concerned about the Stellaron Hunter.

"That's good too, it's better to take advantage of the situation when several parties are involved."

Phantylia thought to himself.

Thinking this, she sat down next to Ji Yuan. She reached out and tightly grasped Ji Yuan's hand. She kicked off her high heels and wrapped her small feet around Ji Yuan 'Ji Yuan calf, poking his calf several times with her thumb.

Hmph~

He skillfully teased her, his expression one Phantylia contentment.

At this moment, she noticed that Ji Yuan looked slightly tired.

"What's wrong with you? Wait, you haven't been resting since you went to the Divination Commission yesterday, have you?"

Phantylia wanted to ask Ji Yuan what had happened, but as she spoke, she remembered that Ji Yuan had been working almost non-stop for nearly forty-eight hours since yesterday.

Ji Yuan nodded.

The physical fatigue disappeared, but the mental fatigue of remaining constantly alert persisted.

Looking at him like this, Phantylia thought for a moment, then put her lips close to Ji Yuan's ear and blew a breath.

"Ji Yuan, would you like a little woman's lap pillow? The matter of the star core is something for the general to consider, don't worry too much."

As she said this, before Ji Yuan could react, she gently pulled his head to lie down on her lap.

Ji Yuan's head touched Phantylia's thigh.

Both of them trembled involuntarily.

The soft, delicate skin of her thighs touched her cheek, and Ji Yuan's slightly rapid breathing was blowing directly on Phantylia's knees.

"This is imitating Tingyun's body, please don't overthink it, please don't overthink it..."

Lying on his lap, Ji Yuan silently recited in his heart.

Only,

Those instinctive desires are hard to change.

Ji Yuan's unique sense of excitement, characteristic of being in a dangerous situation, also emerged.

Is it possible for anyone to see Phantylia's thighs?

I quickly glanced down at the lace panties I saw; could anyone possibly see them?

Ji Yuan is not sleepy at all right now.

Meanwhile, Phantylia pressed Ji Yuan down on her lap, and that feeling of control returned.

No matter how much you perform, no matter how extraordinary your talents are in every aspect, in the end you will still be under my control.

Gently stroking Ji Yuan's soft hair, she felt so comfortable.

My adorable little one, you must be good and completely obey me.

In the Phantylia realm of existence, I have no control over the lives and deaths of others. Yet, none of them have brought me the same pleasure as Ji Yuan.

At first, she immersed herself in and imitated Tingyun's Remembrance and habits, but later she added a touch of personal emotion. It wasn't until later, when Ji Yuan's exceptional talent shocked her, that she began to take Ji Yuan more seriously. With each instance of shock, she gradually began to regard Ji Yuan in a more respectable light.

The more capable and talented he was, the greater Phantylia his sense of accomplishment.

Now that Ji Yuan was lying on her lap, her sense of satisfaction was growing stronger.

Both of them felt extremely excited.

Only Yanqing, who was sitting at the door, was still immersed in the state of being defeated by Ren and had not come out.

Lying on Phantylia's lap for half a day, Ji Yuan still hadn't made any progress regarding Bailu.

He thought about it and figured it was probably because things with Bailu hadn't been resolved yet, and he hadn't done his job properly. The reward he was entitled to wouldn't come until everything was settled.

At this moment, the Star Skiff arrived at its destination.

Yanqing stood up and said to Ji Yuan, "Brother, we've arrived at the Divine Might Manor."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ji Yuan lying on Phantylia's lap and immediately turned his head away.

I felt very depressed.

Brother, beauty, like science, divination, and magic, is something that shouldn't be studied in detail. Only the way of the sword is something you should always pursue.

Ji Yuan and Phantylia hurriedly got up and quickly straightened their clothes.

Phantylia patted Ji Yuan's arm.

She then said, "You should go see the general first. I'll wait for you outside."

"Um."

Ji Yuan nodded, and then he and Yanqing walked into the Divine Might Manor together.

[You enjoyed the lap pillow of the Destruction Lord Phantylia, Illusory Emptiness, as a reward of +1 to your attractiveness to mature, older female women.]

Ji Yuan: "..."

Upon entering the Divine Might Manor, Ji Yuan saw Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan inside. Jing Yuan was leisurely reading a book, while Fu Xuan stood with his hands on his hips, exuding anger.

"General, a star core has suddenly erupted on the Xianzhou. Why aren't you going there to deal with it immediately? What are you doing here comfortably reading a book? Do you know how many casualties there will be if it completely erupts?"

Jing Yuan remained calm in the face of Fu Xuan's anger.

"With Fu Qing here, oh, and Ji Yuan and Yanqing too, my work here is much easier."

He put down his book and saw Ji Yuan and Yanqing walking up behind him. He smiled and said to Fu Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan turned around and saw Ji Yuan. Her expression was angry, and she immediately walked to Ji Yuan's side, waving her hand to block him.

Then she said to Jing Yuan, "General, please stop assigning work to Ji Yuan."

Ji Yun has been working for two days straight, so please let Ji Yuan go.

Jing Yuan waved his hand. "Alright, Ji Yuan, after we leave the Divine Might Manor, you should rest for a few days. I'll come find you again when I need you."

Fu Xuan was still dissatisfied and said to Ji Yuan, "General, he is the one who investigated the 'Disciples of Sanctus Medicus' with me. Now I should be his direct superior. All work should be done through me first."

After saying that, she gave Ji Yuan a look that suggested she was a responsible superior.

Look closely, Ji Yuan. This is what a responsible leader should look like. He's so much better than that irresponsible general.

Now you know who has the makings of a general, right?

My Divination Commission is the best; you should come and join my Divination Commission.

"Alright, alright, Fu Qing, whatever you say."

Jing Yuan shook his head and said to Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan was finally satisfied.

Looking at Ji Yuan, Fu Xuan said to him, "Come, rest assured, I'm here."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Diviner."

Ji Yuan sincerely thanked him.

Hearing Ji Yuan express his gratitude, Fu Xuan's lips curled up in satisfaction.

"Okay, you can go back now."

"Good."

Ji Yuan nodded. He did need some free time, but it wasn't for resting. With Phantylia's threat drawing ever closer, Ji Yuan certainly wouldn't waste this time; he still needed to make other preparations.

He hasn't even started working on his biological collection box.

I've been delayed these past few days. When Teacher Ruan Mei comes to find me, I guess she'll be 'angry' when she sees this situation.

Yanqing glanced at Ji Yuan with concern, Ji Yuan returned a reassuring look.

Then he turned and left.

Phantylia was still waiting for Ji Yuan at the door.

Upon seeing Ji Yuan, she immediately asked, "What did the General say?"

"Yes, General, you have told me to rest for two days. I'm going back to my residence in Exalting Sanctum now to get some rest."

Ji Yuan answered Phantylia.

Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Phantylia's eyes flickered, seemingly intending to go back with Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan quickly reminded her, "Tingyun, don't you still have work to do? Go and take care of your work first, I don't have anything to do here."

"Okay, fine. I'll ask for leave tomorrow and come see you then."

Phantylia nodded somewhat reluctantly.

She's currently impersonating Tingyun and still has work to do.

Ji Yuan told her to go to work first and then ask for leave, but it was really hard to give a reason. Especially since Ji Yuan looked very tired and definitely needed rest.

Immediately,

Phantylia went to continue working, while Ji Yuan returned to his residence to 'rest'.

After Phantylia and Ji Yuan had been gone for a while, Genyi, the deputy general of the Cloud Knights who had previously led Ji Yuan and Tingyun to attack the merchant group, hurriedly entered the Divine Might Manor.

Upon entering, he immediately reported to Jing Yuan:

"General, when the star core erupted, the Cloud Knights you arranged in advance successfully evacuated the surrounding people and supplies. So far, there have been no casualties from this star core eruption."
