My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

[Himeko: It's like this, Danheng, who is about to be tried on the Immortal Ship, is a member of our train. If you have time, could you please ask him about the details for me?]

[Nguyen Mai: Oh, that's convenient. I'll go there in person when the trial begins. We can even broadcast it live.]

Himeko: Hmm?

[Nguyen Mai: Smiling.jpg]

Himeko looked at the message with some confusion.

With Nguyen Mai's personality, she wouldn't be the type to join in on something like this, would she?

……

Nguyen Mai certainly doesn't like to join in the fun, but it would be an exception if the person who started this fun was her student.

She had just put down her phone when Ji Yuan returned home. Seeing Ruan Mei, he threw an arm at her.

"Teacher, this is tonight's dinner. Let's stew it."

Ji Yuan said in a joking tone.

Having left the prison, Ji Yuan truly had no reason to continue working this time. Fu Xuan simply escorted him all the way to Ji Yuan's doorstep, watched him go inside to rest, and only then did Fu Xuan leave satisfied.

Ji Yuan walked in, saw Ruan Mei, and remembered that he had promised to give his teacher the flesh and blood on his body. He immediately threw the arm that he had previously obtained from him to Ruan Mei.

"Sure, if you like it."

After raising her arm, Nguyen Mai said indifferently.

Ji Yuan quickly waved his hand.

"Never mind, never mind, I'm still a normal person."

He's not Hannibal Lecter; he has no interest in cannibalism. Let's just forget about this.

Ruan Mei smiled.

Ji Yuan then looked at Ruan Mei and immediately asked her about the creatures she was cultivating.

"Teacher, how did your experiment go? Was it successful?"

Are the preparations for cultivating those organisms almost complete?

"By tomorrow, we should be able to succeed."

Ruan Mei gave Ji Yuan a reassuring look.

She certainly wouldn't let her students hold her back.

The master and apprentice smiled at each other.

Ruan Mei looked at Ji Yuan with expectant eyes, wanting to see how much trouble Ji Yuan would cause at this time tomorrow.

Ruan Mei stepped forward, leaned close to Ji Yuan, and whispered in his ear, "What else do you need to prepare? Like, another hug or something?"

"Forehead……"

Before Ji Yuan could react, he felt Ruan Mei's soft embrace and the sensation of her slender arms encircling his waist.

"Ji Yuan..."

Leaning against Ji Yuan's chest, Ruan Mei closed her eyes and rested for a while.

After a long while, she finally released Ji Yuan.

[You have been embraced by Ms. Nguyen Mai, a life scientist and member of the Genius Club who creates command tokens. The system rewards you with fifty hours of study time.]

This time, the hug lasted much less time than the first one.

But it's still good to increase it.

Ji Yuan looked at Ruan Mei and said to her, "Teacher, I need to enter a state of deep thought for a while."

“Okay.” Ruan Mei nodded to Ji Yuan as she continued her experiment.

Subsequently, under Ruan Mei's gaze, Ji Yuan began to enter his own study space.

Upon entering the learning space, Ji Yuan hadn't even had time to react before receiving another hug.

It's still Nguyen Mai's.

The virtual Ruan Mei appeared more ardent than the real Ruan Mei, holding Ji Yuan with even greater force. It was quite a while before she finally released Ji Yuan.

"Great! I can clearly feel that the duration of my body's existence has increased. Ji Yuan, it seems that you have successfully gotten together with the real Ruan Mei outside and found a way to sustain me."

Her tone sounded very pleased.

Although she couldn't know what was happening outside, the sensations within her body did make this virtual existence feel somewhat real.

"Yes……"

Hearing the virtual Ruan Mei say this, Ji Yuan seemed a little embarrassed.

The way to maintain this space is to go and hug Nguyen Mai.

Looking at his expression, Virtual Ruan Mei instantly guessed that Ji Yuan's method was probably not so legitimate.

She sat on the lab table, exposing her flawless, jade-like feet.

Ji Yuan remained seated, while the virtual Ruan Mei's feet lightly rested on his thighs. The virtual Ruan Mei tapped Ji Yuan firmly with her toes and said earnestly, "Don't worry, no matter how outrageous your actions, Ruan Mei won't care. Next time, you can go even further. She'll definitely agree."

Although the tone was gentle, the content was quite ambiguous.

After lightly stepping on Ji Yuan's legs for a while, the virtual Ruan Mei slowly left the table.

She slowly stood up, seemingly because she had been stepping on Ji Yuan's legs for a while. Wearing high heels, she leaned unsteadily against Ji Yuan.

"Come on, let's begin our final preparations."

Ji Yuan nodded, then took out the two most important things to him at the moment.

The flesh and blood of the illusory clone a hundred years later contain an extremely abundant power of destruction and richness;

That dream embryo of a creature whose growth Ji Yuan could control at will.

Chapter 116 Illusory Dream: This Kiss is for You [Second Update]

It wasn't until evening that Ji Yuan emerged from his consciousness space.

In her mind were the final plans and designs she and the virtual Ruan Mei had made together.

As an existence born because of him, Ji Yuan has the most faith in the virtual Ruan Mei.

Flesh and blood form a cage, dreams become shackles; the most dangerous behavior is also the most rewarding.

In his mind, there was still the image of Ruan Mei hugging him and saying her last words before parting.

"Since tomorrow is a gamble anyway, why don't you do everything you need to do for Ruan Mei tonight? Trust me, she won't just not reject you, she won't even hate you."

How could I possibly do something like that?

His palms also had the virtual feeling of Ruan Mei's pert buttocks, and Ruan Mei's body curves were deeply imprinted in his mind and could not be forgotten.

He was slightly tempted, but his strong sense of morality made him feel that doing so was wrong.

Just as he was hesitating, Ji Yuan saw the figure standing in front of him, which instantly dispelled his thoughts.

Huanlong, wearing an apron, was carrying a pile of dishes to the table. Seeing Ji Yuan wake up, she smiled and said, "Ji Yuan, you're awake! Perfect timing, I've finished cooking. Would you like some?"

Ji Yuan turned his head and saw Ruan Mei already sitting in her seat, eating slowly.

While still pondering, Ji Yuan's hand was already being pulled to the dining table by Huan Long.

The table was now overflowing with dishes, with a dazzling array of delicacies and rare foods that even Ji Yuan, a top student, couldn't recognize.

"These are all specialties I purchased on various planets in the galaxy as a representative of a merchant group. Some of them were gifts from Ms. Ruan Mei." Huanlong said, reaching out to press Ji Yuan into his seat.

She ladled a bowl of soup and placed it next to Ji Yuan, saying in an extremely intimate tone, "Here, try it and see how it is. I made all of this myself, bit by bit."

Ji Yuan couldn't refuse Huanlong's enthusiasm and took a small sip of the thick soup.

He wasn't particularly fond of soup, but the soup Huanlong had made was incredibly flavorful and rich. After drinking it, Ji Yuan felt a warmth spread through his bones. He couldn't help but say to Huanlong, "This tastes really good. I hope to have it more often in the future."

"Really? Then drink more, and I'll make you something later."

Huanlong continued to help Ji Yuansheng with the soup, without changing her movements.

Tomorrow would be roughly the time to launch the plan, and there certainly wouldn't be a meal like this tomorrow night. Huanlong thought this would be Ji Yuan's last supper. So she took out a lot of things and used all her culinary skills to give Ji Yuan a final meal before his execution.

However, when she heard Ji Yuan say that she wanted to drink the soup a few more times, Huanlong suddenly felt an urge to make it for Ji Yuan a few more times.

"Actually, Ji Yuan is not Jing Yuan, so it's not necessary to kill him."

Huanlong thought to himself.

Not destroying Ji Yuan would be contrary to her usual aesthetic of destruction. Giving him the ultimate destruction when he was at his most excited was the right thing to do.

But if he were to be destroyed, he said he'd like to drink his homemade soup a few more times...

Huanlong thought to herself, and then immediately urged Ji Yuan to eat more.

Nguyen Mai watched with a smile, also eating her food.

The craftsmanship is really good.

Watching Ji Yuan eat, Huanlong sat down beside him with a smile. Her little feet continued to misbehave under the table, fiddling with Ji Yuan's legs. Let's play a little longer; there might not be any fun tomorrow.

She was fiddling with Ji Yuan's legs below, and propping her head up with her hand while looking at Ji Yuan, saying, "I'm going to sleep in Changshang's room later. Doesn't she still have work to do with the Cloud Cavalry tonight? Remember to call me when you set off tomorrow."

"You want to come with us?"

Ji Yuan was somewhat puzzled.

Although he knew Huanlong would definitely go tomorrow, should he just go there directly like this?

"Yes, I'm going with you. I've been assigned to receive Ms. Ruan Mei, so I'll be traveling with her."

Huanlong said with a smile.

"No, isn't this my responsibility?"

Ji Yuan asked in confusion.

As he said this, he felt Huanlong gently step on the back of his foot.
