My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Now, facing the possibility of being killed by the Great Lord of Annihilation's Star Roar at any moment, Ji Yuan's thrill of life and death returned once again.

The person was in a state of extreme excitement.

Sleep? That's absolutely impossible.

Ji Yuan thought to himself, and then he picked up the space teleportation device that he hadn't used in a long time.

"gone."

Ji Yuan arrived outside Kripper Castle in the blink of an eye using the teleportation device.

He had planned to go straight to the lab, but just as Ji Yuan was about to leave, he heard the sound of a crowd gathering not far away.

Ji Yuan looked closely and saw that, amidst the torchlight, most of the residents of Beloberg were gathered in front of Kripper Castle. Bronya, on the other hand, was standing on a high platform among the crowd.

"This guy told us to come and rest, but he still came out himself. I guess we're just destined to be busy."

Seeing this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but silently complain in his heart.

He stopped walking and moved closer to the crowd, intending to listen to what Bronya had to say.

……

“I know you have a fear of darkness, because of the fear of the unknown. But this darkness is different from the previous ones; we are certain it comes from the hands of our enemies.”

"They can't defeat us, so they want to seize the light to frighten us and make us panic."

"But they didn't consider that doing this, besides affecting us, also shows us that they dare not fight us on this planet again."

"They were scared, they were scared, they were terrified of us."

"We have already defeated the enemy once, but we can defeat them a second time."

"With the help of our valiant Silvermane Iron Guards and our friends who have come to our aid, we will surely defeat the antimatter legions."

"Before long, the skies over Belleburg will be bright again. And the warmth that has not returned for seven hundred years will once again grace us."

Bronya looked at the pessimistic crowd in the city and took the first step forward, shouting to everyone in Belloberg.

Like Ji Yuan, she also had no intention of taking a break.

Especially when she came to the outside of Belleburg and saw the people feeling fear because of the coming darkness, she felt even more determined to stand up.

Regardless of the outcome, she cannot let people lose hope.

By racking her brains for the words, Bronya rekindled hope in everyone's hearts.

Seeing that everyone's spirits had improved considerably, she quickly added, "Soon, we will be launching a counterattack against those antimatter legions. However, we still have a lot to prepare before the counterattack, so I hope that all residents of Beloborg will return to their posts and contribute to our upcoming battle."

Bronya worried that if they stayed home and let their minds wander, it would negatively affect them. So she decided to get them moving; only by moving around could they alleviate the tension brought on by the darkness.

Everyone went off to do their own work.

Bronya slowly walked down from the platform, her back to it, and couldn't help but cover her eyes with her hands.

She too felt fear and dread, completely unaware of the outcome of confronting the antimatter legion. The enemy was led by a Great Lord of Annihilation, and she was truly terrified.

Bronya was trembling with fear.

"Hopefully, Ji Yuan and the others can really find a solution to the problem."

Bronya, who just gave everyone confidence, is actually the most vulnerable inside, but she won't show it to others.

She was just a teenage girl, and she felt she couldn't bear such a heavy responsibility.

As she trembled with fear, tears welling in her eyes, Ji Yuan approached her and gently comforted her:

"Don't worry, we will definitely defeat Xingxiao. I believe that the future of Yalilo-VI will be warm and bright."

Hearing that someone was coming, Bronya quickly suppressed her emotions. But when she saw that it was Ji Yuan, her restrained emotions began to slip out of her control.

"Will we win?"

"When have I ever lost?"

Ji Yuan gave Bronya a very confident answer.

His smile was very kind and warm, as if it were the greatest source of support for Bronya, who was on the verge of collapse.

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Bronya couldn't help but hug Ji Yuan.

Before Ji Yuan could react, Bronya kissed him on the lips.

She was extremely agitated, with a strong urge to do something to vent her emotions. Just then, Ji Yuan appeared, and she couldn't suppress her desire to release her feelings.

This was her first kiss, and her movements were incredibly awkward. At the same time, she felt extremely shy.

But the feeling of exhilaration was far greater than the shyness.

When your mind goes blank, you can release all those tense feelings.

Bronya felt very happy with how she was feeling.

Ji Yuan's hand landed on her silver hair, and he gently hugged her to comfort her.

Bronya is quite tall, so Ji Yuan only needs to bend her head slightly to cooperate.

Feeling Bronya's icy touch between his lips and teeth, Ji Yuan's hand unconsciously fell to his thigh.

Bronya's black stockings on her thighs felt really nice to the touch.

Slender but not at all thin, the black stockings are smooth, and you can clearly feel the incredibly soft flesh inside.

click-

A crisp camera shutter sounded.

Bronya and Ji Yuan quickly let go of each other and looked to the side, where they found 'March 7' taking pictures with a camera.

Seeing that it was March 7th, Bronya panicked instantly.

"This...we are..."

She tried hard to come up with an excuse in her mind.

However, Ji Yuan, standing beside her, rolled his eyes at this "March 7th".

"Alright, Hanabi, stop pretending. You know I can see through your act."

"Honestly, I really don't know what you're doing being so smart? It's so boring." 'March 7' made a bored expression, then quickly shrank back to Fireworks' form.

Bronya saw the fireworks and looked annoyed.

Hanabi picked up her camera, looking at the photos as she commented, "Tsk tsk tsk, I've photographed all your secrets. For this secret alone, I'd eat both of you for the rest of my life. If you want the photos back, you'll have to agree to my conditions."

"What conditions?"

Bronya asked subconsciously.

"Here, just have Ji Yuan stay with me for one night."

Ji Yuan smiled and took out the Fragmented Sword from his spatial storage.

"Okay, okay, I was just joking."

Faced with the threat of force, Hanabi hurriedly waved her hand, looked at Bronya, and pointed at Himemoto, saying, "I was just standing up for my good friend! Look how hard he's working, for the sake of Arilo-VI. After working for several days straight, he still has to sneak around doing other work. I was planning to take a picture of him and tell you to give him appropriate compensation. But it seems that I don't even need to mention compensation; the soon-to-be-appointed Grand Guardian has already given it to him..."

By the end, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Bronya lowered her head shyly at first, then realized something was wrong and turned to Ji Yuan, asking, "You, you're planning to go back to work?"

"Yes, in this situation, we certainly can't waste any more time. I told you to rest because I was worried you wouldn't be able to hold on. I'm a biology expert myself, and I know my own body best."

Ji Yuan answered with a smile.

Hearing his words, Bronya felt a pang of heartache. She opened her mouth to say something, but Ji Yuan flicked her forehead at that moment.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Your body is just a normal human body, not one of my kind from the Immortal Ship. If you work all night for long periods, you'll ruin yourself. Go and rest. If you don't rest, I'll have to work with Toppa to revise your repayment plan. I want all of it, principal and interest. This planet is mine, and you won't have any reason to worry about it."

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Bronya knew he meant well. However, she still felt sorry for Ji Yuan and wanted to stay and try to persuade him. But then Ji Yuan pushed her towards Kripper Castle.

Ji Yuan suggested to Bronya, "Stop thinking and go rest. If you can't hold on, let Cocolia take over."

“Yes, Ji Yuan is in good health, but you can’t. When you can’t take it anymore, Cocolia can take over.”

Hanabi said something similar, but her tone was extremely ambiguous, making people wonder.

Ji Yuan couldn't resist giving Hanabi's head a hard punch.

"Ouch..."

Hanabi covered her head.

Upon hearing Hanabi say this, Bronya blushed immediately.

"I... I'll head back to Krippar Castle first."

She finished speaking haltingly, and then quickly walked inside.

However, before she left, she looked at Ji Yuan with a mixture of shyness, sympathy, and other emotions in her eyes.

I couldn't help but think back to what I had just said.

"If that doesn't work, you can take turns with Cocolia."

The image that appeared in her mind was almost exactly what Hanabi had described.

After Bronya left, Ji Yuan headed towards the laboratory.

He's been delayed here for a long time and even took Bronya's first kiss. Now, the only way to calm him down is through rigorous scientific experiments.

Ji Yuan walked towards the outside of the city, while Hua Huo jogged alongside him.

"What? Is there something else you need from me?"

Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Hanabi.

Hanabi replied with her hands on her hips, "Can't I walk with you for a while? Don't worry, there's not much light on this planet right now, and no one will mistake you for a lolicon if you walk with me."

"What shameful things could you possibly do?"

Ji Yuan was speechless.

"As long as there's fun, I can let go of all my shame. You, not being the Masked Fool, would never know that. Of course, if you're willing to join us, I'll definitely bring you a lot of fun."

“I’m not the kind of person who enjoys amusement,” Ji Yuan replied. Then he asked Hanabi again, “Speaking of which, why did you come to help us a few days ago? I didn’t give you anything. What were your reasons for protecting Belloberg?”

He hadn't forgotten that a few days ago, when the Antimatter Legion first besieged the city, Fireworks had sabotaged things behind the scenes.
