My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Ji Yuan saw Ting Yun and greeted her.

He looked around and immediately tensed up.

Is there any danger now?

He could die at any moment, and so could Tingyun. If two people who could die at any moment were together, what if a Grim Reaper, to save trouble, simply killed them both at once?

Be careful, you must be extremely careful.

Ji Yuan surveyed his surroundings, especially the direction of the Cloud Cavalry, intending to seek their help immediately should he encounter any trouble.

Tingyun walked up to Ji Yuan with a smile and said, "Yes, we'll have to trouble Brother Ji Yuan with today's goods."

What's his expression like now?

Nervous, scared.

Am I some kind of terrifying monster?

Why did he become afraid when he saw me?

Tingyun thought about it and realized that his skills were truly lacking. Ji Yuan was just a handsome young man; he should be able to beat him too.

You wouldn't eat people yourself, so what are you afraid of?

Because she couldn't understand Ji Yuan's actions, Ting Yun was truly heartbroken.

What is the purpose of your chameleon-like behavior?

Last night, she even thought that Ji Yuan had the abilities of the diviner. He first planned to pursue her, but upon getting close, he saw that she was in danger and left instantly. In the end, out of concern for her safety, he couldn't help but remind her.

After thinking it over, Tingyun felt it was still unlikely. If he really possessed such divine abilities, would he be working as a maritime trade official in the Imperial Maritime Bureau?

Unable to come up with a solution, Tingyun wished she could just pin Ji Yuan against the wall and interrogate him properly.

However, on the surface, she still gestured to Ji Yuan and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you with the examination, Brother Ji Yuan."

"Ah."

Ji Yuan watched as the Yunqi soldiers inspected the boxes and began dismantling them one by one.

The space was too cramped, and Ji Yuan and Ting Yun had nowhere to stand, so they simply found two pieces of paper to sit on top of the already inspected and stacked boxes. The two sat side by side, and while Ji Yuan looked down at the Yun cavalry's inspection, he could also keep an eye on Ting Yun's feet.

Tingyun's feet were smaller than those of most young girls; Ji Yuan even suspected she could dance in his palm. They were snow-white and delicate, like soft, creamy ice cream. The back half was covered by her shoes, only the front half was exposed. In the sunlight, they shimmered and sparkled.

Those sparkly little feet are so cute!

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Tingyun also sensed that Ji Yuan's gaze remained fixed on her feet.

His lips involuntarily curled up.

She still has some charm.

If Ji Yuan doesn't show something soon, she'll really start to panic.

So Tingyun moved a little closer to Ji Yuan, and at the same time, her feet moved closer to Ji Yuan.

Come on, take a closer look.

Ji Yuan quickly turned his gaze to the side to avoid the attack.

Let's go check on the situation with the Yunqi Army.

The Yunqi Army on Liuyun Ferry had been inspecting the goods for a day and a night and were exhausted. They opened the goods, checked them to make sure they weren't dangerous, and then let them go.

Ji Yuan knew they were very tired, so he relaxed a bit.

He and Tingyun continued chatting.

After chatting for a while, Ji Yuan heard the system notification sound again.

Ji Yuan's system was quite user-friendly; after meeting someone a second time, Ji Yuan could choose to ignore them when trying to earn achievements, and then open the system again when needed. However, Ting Yun's situation was unusual; Ji Yuan did not ignore her.

A system notification sound rang out.

Another system notification sounded.

what's the situation! ?

Ji Yuan was a little confused.

How can there be two different system prompts at the same time?

Ji Yuan quickly clicked on it.

[You spent an afternoon with a corpse; reward: +1 experience point for sewing corpses]

Tingyun is still a corpse.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Ignoring that, Ji Yuan turned on another system notification sound.

[You sat on the body of a legendary modified soldier of the Bu Liren Legion for an entire afternoon, making him feel humiliated. Reward: Physical Ability +1]

Ji Yuan almost jumped off the box when he saw this.

what's the situation! ?

A human-modified being?

The Bu Li people are one of the main forces of the abundant evil creatures, and are mortal enemies of the Immortal Boat people.

How did they get inside the fairy ship?

These goods have all been inspected and there are no problems.

Wait, the goods are fine, but could there be something wrong with the boxes that are holding them?

Ji Yuan touched the box under his buttocks and thought to himself.

In order to get into the Immortal Ship and cause trouble, will Bu Liren turn himself into a box?

Ji Yuan wouldn't have believed it if it were any other enemy, but these were the people of Fengrao, incredibly resilient and ruthless towards both themselves and their enemies. Transforming himself into a box wasn't entirely impossible.

Ji Yuan immediately wanted to tell the Yunqi Army about the Buli people's invasion.

However, upon seeing the situation here, his heart sank instantly.

The Cloud Cavalry are exhausted and their formation is in disarray, making a fight now extremely dangerous.

"We can't expose them right now. These Bu Li people are probably here on the Immortal Ship for some purpose, or to cause some damage and then leave. They won't easily reveal themselves until they reach their destination. I should wait until they leave before notifying the Cloud Cavalry to encircle and annihilate them."

These outsiders who want to destroy Luofu are delusional; they can only cause destruction.

He waved his hand, indicating that the Cloud Cavalry did not need to check anymore.

He then looked at Tingyun and said, "Miss Tingyun, now that the checkup is finished, would you like to have a meal with me?"

It's impossible to say it outright, as everyone will listen, and saying it outright would directly expose our true intentions.

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Ting Yun shook her head slightly and couldn't help but chuckle.

This guy really likes my feet.

After looking at my feet all afternoon, they invited me to dinner.

“Alright, I’d be happy to oblige. However, I must escort these goods to Chang Le Tian Tian. Even though the cargo ship can sail automatically, someone still needs to handle the handover. I’ll come back to you after the handover is complete.”

Ji Yuan wanted to persuade her further, but Ting Yun jumped off the box with a smile.

Seeing her leave like that, Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel anxious.

If the Cloud Cavalry tries to stop them, Tingyun will be in considerable danger.

As for waiting until the destination to stop them, that's clearly unrealistic. If chaos were to occur in Changletian, things would get much worse.

We must stop them halfway.

For his own safety, he should stay here and inform the Yunqi Army, and watch them kill all the Buli people.

However, that would almost certainly put Tingyun in a life-or-death situation.

Are we just going to sit idly by and watch an innocent girl die like this?

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

That's the safest option for survival.

But he simply couldn't ignore the lives of others.

"Just this once, I'll never do it again."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

He looked at Tingyun, who was about to leave, and called out, "Miss Tingyun, wait a moment, I'll go with you."

Chapter 7 Escape from the Starship

We can only take the risk and see if we can save Tingyun.

Ji Yuan planned to go with Ting Yun, and then find a way to leave along the way.

This is very dangerous. Ji Yuan even felt that if the two of them died here, it might confirm the future that his system knew.

but,

If you hide all your kindness and become a coward because of this danger, you might as well be dead.

Although you love yourself,

But the passion had not cooled.

Ji Yuan stepped forward and said that he wanted to act together with Ting Yun.

……

The Maritime Trade Officer was responsible for inspecting goods entering Luofu. Procedurally speaking, Ji Yuan accompanying Tingyun to find the buyer to receive the goods could also be considered part of the inspection process.

Of course, even ordinary maritime officials didn't do this.
