My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

How did he do that?

Even they themselves didn't know.

Clenching his fist, Huanlong's interest intensified, and the destructive desire within him also rose.

I really want to destroy Ji Yuan. I want to see him in despair and ultimately destroy himself.

Huanlong began to think about what to do.

……

"This Lord of Annihilation is far too curious."

Ji Yuan rubbed his fist as he thought to himself.

But this is also good.

[You bravely confronted the Great Lord of Annihilation and fiercely beat Bu Liren. As a reward for your courage, you are hereby awarded a set of sword techniques.]

Their strength has increased once again.

At this moment, he saw Huanlong pat his chest, saying with lingering fear, "The disguises of these Bu Li people are truly hard to guard against. If I were to encounter them, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all."

"Yes, you must be careful when you go out on official business. It would be too dangerous if you encountered an enemy in disguise."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Although it's far worse than your disguise.

"Yes, so next time you go out on official business, Ji Yuan, could you protect me?"

Huanlong said with a 'wronged' expression.

Judging from your usual behavior, you probably wouldn't dare go to dangerous places with me. So, if I pretend to be wronged, making you feel guilty, then...

"Okay, from now on, I'll be your bodyguard."

Ji Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded.

Huanlong's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

You're actually going?!

According to Tingyun's logic, you shouldn't have gone there.

Could it be that they recognized me?

No, if that were the case, he would never do that for safety reasons.

So, was it caused by Ji Yuan's actions just now?

Huanlong felt the pain from grabbing her breasts earlier.

Ji Yuan looked at the astonished Huan Long and nodded seriously.

Come on, let's go out together so I can see where you've hidden Tingyun.

[The Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, has actually asked you to be his bodyguard. To help you better perform your duties, we are rewarding you with the ability to share Huanlong's location in real time.]

Ji Yuan quickly recalled a map of the surrounding structure in his mind. And on the map, a red dot appeared.

Looking at the red dot, Ji Yuan knew that this was Huanlong's location.

Chapter 53: Prelude to Investigating the Location of Tingyun

"I've lived my life on thin ice, and I can only survive by having some kind of cheat code."

Seeing the newly acquired skill, even though it was only temporary, it was enough for Ji Yuan.

He believed that she would definitely take some action after going out with Huanlong this time. If she didn't deal with Tingyun for the time being, then she must be looking for an opportunity to obtain information from her.

Opportunities are scarce, whether for Ji Yuan or Huan Long.

On Huanlong's side, upon hearing that Ji Yuan had actually chosen to become his bodyguard, he felt a sense of relief amidst his astonishment.

All my hard work has paid off; I've finally seen you take a step forward.

In order to imitate Tingyun, she actively incorporated Tingyun's style.

but……

She also gave Ji Yuan a reminder.

“Ji Yuan, Yan Qing probably still has his own mission, you can’t take him with you.”

He couldn't help but recall Tingyun's previous invitation to Ji Yuan, and couldn't help but remind him.

If you arrange another date for her with her younger brother, Huanlong will really have the urge to revert to her true form and give Ji Yuan a good beating.

Yanqing nodded in agreement when he heard Huanlong say this: "Yes, Lord Genyi also wants me to clean up some battlefields where there may be any Buli people left. I can't spare the time to go with my elder brother."

"Is that so? Okay then."

Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Ji Yuan was genuinely worried about bringing Yan Qing along. He feared for the safety of others while staying with the Great Lord Jue Mie, and if possible, he tried to avoid any contact with them.

Seeing his expression, Huanlong's lips unconsciously curled up. Her delicate little mouth opened slightly, and she mouthed a shape towards Ji Yuan.

You can't escape.

Seemingly worried that Ji Yuan might react in any way, Huanlong grabbed Ji Yuan's hand and walked outside.

"Let's go, I need to record some assets that I'm taking back to the Immortal Ship. Let's set off now."

Only Yanqing remained, cleaning up the battlefield.

……

Huanlong pulled Ji Yuan along, walking in front of her with Ji Yuan directly behind her. At this moment, Huanlong's tail swept back and forth across Ji Yuan's body as she swung her legs, a sensation that made Ji Yuan's expression freeze slightly.

Even knowing that she was Huanlong, the feeling coming from her body was genuine and could not be faked.

This is a body just like Tingyun's, this is a body just like Tingyun's...

Ji Yuan couldn't help but think this way.

His gaze involuntarily drifted downwards.

Its fluffy, soft tail, delicate calves, and feet encased in high heels make it appear petite.

The same applies to Huanlong. Since Tingyun is involved, the tactile sensations on their bodies are the same. Including the sensations transmitted from the tail, they are all clearly transmitted into their bodies.

For Tingyun, her tail is a very sensitive area. Therefore, Huanlong is also very perceptive about it.

Immediately, she noticed that Ji Yuan's gaze was fixed on her tail, calves, and feet. That intense gaze made her feel a burning sensation throughout her body.

Both of them knew they shouldn't develop feelings for each other, but their bodies naturally reacted accordingly.

Standing at the entrance of the headquarters, Huanlong quickly shrank his tail and looked pitifully at Ji Yuan.

"The outside world is still a battlefield, Ji Yuan, you must protect me well."

"Don't worry, I will." Ji Yuan nodded, then silently released his hand from Huanlong's grasp, and silently took out his Sky-Piercing Longsword. The longsword transformed into a soft whip, and began to swing back and forth around Ji Yuan and Huanlong.

He's supposed to be a bodyguard, so he should at least act like one.

"Come on, let's hurry up. Staying on the road any longer will only increase the danger."

Ji Yuan's expression was cold, and he maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

"it is good."

Huanlong looked at Ji Yuan, who had a wary and indifferent expression, and nodded with a pout.

Just a moment ago she seemed tempted, how come she changed so drastically now?

She felt uncomfortable when Ji Yuan was attracted earlier, and now that he has become indifferent, she is also very concerned.

She took two steps before Ji Yuan stopped her.

"Wait a minute, let me observe carefully. What should we do if we encounter an ambush?"

Huanlong's eyes widened.

We just left headquarters, no one would be lying in ambush here, right?

Are you being too cautious?

Ji Yuan glanced back at Huanlong, "Don't you understand the principle of 'the darkest place is under the lamp'? What if someone is lying in ambush here?"

If it weren't for the lack of firepower, Ji Yuan would have loved to take the explosives and blow up every possible hiding place around them.

The two walked towards their destination.

Ji Yuan kept looking to one side, scanning all the ruins and buildings along the roadside, worried that some enemies might appear among them.

His gaze was not even slightly on Huanlong.

The movements were extremely slow; Huanlong felt that his movement speed was even slower than that of heavy infantry in the classical era.

"Well, there shouldn't be that many enemies lurking around, right?"

Huanlong said to Ji Yuan.

"What if? Can you guarantee that an enemy might suddenly decide to infiltrate?"

I can assure you that there are no enemies on my path forward.

Huanlong thought to himself.

However, she couldn't say these words aloud.

Ji Yuan saw that Huanlong was a little anxious, and felt a little excited. Regardless of whether her emotions were genuine or feigned, her angry appearance, coupled with her identity as the Great Ruler of Annihilation, was truly thrilling.

They walked carefully and cautiously all the way, and finally arrived at their destination.

The place where the spoils of war were counted, settled, and transferred was where Ji Yuan had inspected the goods. There were also Cloud Cavalry troops stationed nearby, making it very safe.

Upon arriving at their destination, Ji Yuan and Huan Long both breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is really tough!"

Huanlong felt somewhat aggrieved.

She even regretted her decision to impersonate Tingyun. She had thought it would be an easy role to play, but it had actually made things much more complicated.
