My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

Ji Yuan clicked on it with great joy.

[You have successfully rescued a corpse from the Legion of the Step-Off Cyborgs. Reward: Corpse Examination Experience +1]

what! ?

Is it a suspended cloud or a corpse?!

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Without time to think further, he saw Tingyun stand up, preparing to head back to the Star Chariot, while looking at him with angry and hateful eyes, her hand tightly gripping the fan.

The owner of the Star Raft, who had escaped on his own, also came out.

Ji Yuan quickly took a step back to avoid being hit by Tingyun, and pointed to the star raft that was no longer moving but was flying around randomly, saying, "Miss Tingyun, those are all Bu Li soldiers."

"The soldiers of the Bu Li people?"

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Tingyun was taken aback.

If there's one people the fox-foxes hate most, it's undoubtedly the Buli people. When the Buli people enslaved the fox-foxes for a long time, if it weren't for the arrival of the immortal ship, they would still be slaves of the Buli people. Therefore, the fox-foxes always attack the Buli people without regard to cost or consequences.

But looking at the star raft, Tingyun still didn't believe it at all.

“I checked this star raft before I came here, how could it possibly contain Bu Liren…”

Before she could finish speaking, the shipping container on the Star Chariot exploded, and a group of strangely shaped 'people' with dog heads emerged. With a series of twists and turns, they all transformed into tall, robust dog-headed men. In their hands were various weapons.

Fortunately, due to the difference in their flight speeds and altitudes, the two starships were far apart, making it difficult for ordinary travelers to cross the distance.

It really is Bu Liren!?

Tingyun's eyes widened as she saw Bu Liren appear.

Everything Ji Yuan said is true.

Just now, my boat was indeed full of Bu Li people.

If we were still on the ship...

Tingyun broke out in a cold sweat.

Ji Yuan just saved me.

He also said that he came along to help himself.

He could have waited until he left to report, and neither the Cloud Cavalry nor the Heavenly Ship Bureau would have said anything. But he still followed him and rescued him at the crucial moment.

Remembering what she had just done, she was about to hit Ji Yuan, and her hand, which was tightly gripping the fan, went limp.

Seeing that Ji Yuan's expression had lost its earlier fervor, Ting Yun was instantly filled with regret.

It's a waste that she usually prides herself on being able to see through other people.

But she couldn't see it at all during this dangerous time.

He was surprised that a young man younger than himself had come to save him.

I couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Ji Yuan must be angry, right?

Damn me!

While they were still thinking, the ship owner on their starship pointed tremblingly at the Bu Li people who were looking at them and said:

"Let's stop talking, aren't those Bu Li people coming over soon?"

Bu Liren picked up his weapon and began firing at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan grabbed Tingyun with one hand and pulled the ship owner with the other, running into the cargo hold.

"Don't worry, they can't get through."

Seeing that it was somewhat safe, Ji Yuan said to the two of them.

"Why, why?"

The boat owner inquired.

"Because I have already notified the Yunqi Army."

Ji Yuan spoke.

Just then, a dozen or so starships flew over quickly and surrounded the starship that had stopped in the clouds. A large group of Cloud Cavalry soldiers stood on it.

Upon seeing that it was Bu Liren, these Yun cavalrymen charged forward without any hesitation.

The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

The leader, Bu Liren, used his weapon to knock away two Cloud Cavalry soldiers, and his eyes instantly turned angrily towards Ji Yuan and Ting Yun on another immortal ship.

They failed.

After going through countless hardships, using bribery and sabotage to ensure all kinds of goods arrived at the Immortal Ship at the same time, creating chaos there, and even undergoing biological modifications to his body to fit into a box, all in order to infiltrate the Immortal Ship and cause trouble. However, before he could even begin his operation, he was discovered and surrounded by the Cloud Cavalry.

They were destined to be completely wiped out.

However, before you die, you can still take someone down with you.

And the natural choice for this person is Ji Yuan and Ting Yun.

If it weren't for these two people, their infiltration wouldn't have failed.

He stomped heavily on the star raft, knocking away two more cloud cavalrymen, and then leaped towards Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan pulled Tingyun back a little.

No way, he actually managed to charge over there.

Just as he was about to find a weapon to fight back, seven or eight sword lights flashed past the leader of the Bu Li people, and his half-flying figure came to an abrupt stop.

"The general has discovered that Bu Liren intends to infiltrate the Luofu Immortal Ship, and has specifically ordered me to come and patrol."

The boy's clear voice rang out not far from Ji Yuan and Ting Yun.

Ji Yuan turned his head and saw Yan Qing standing at the bow of another starship, his longsword gripped tightly. Upon seeing Ji Yuan, his expression instantly brightened, and he quickly jumped to Ji Yuan and Ting Yun's side.

Chapter 9 Tingyun: Ji Yuan won't hate me because my feet are dirty, will he?

Despite being pierced by a series of sword flashes, the leader of the Bu Li people wasn't quite dead yet. He mustered his last bit of strength to attack Ji Yuan. However, Yan Qing reacted swiftly, seeing him raise his hand, her right hand immediately formed a sword finger, and a flying sword shot out from behind, pinning the man to death.

Yan Qing gracefully sheathed his longsword, closed his eyes and squinted slightly, saying calmly, "The Bu Li Legion is nothing special."

After he finished speaking, he noticed that Ji Yuan and Ting Yun were looking at him with curious eyes. Upon seeing this, Yan Qing's facade crumbled instantly, and his handsome face flushed crimson.

He quickly scratched his head, then said to Ji Yuan:

"I never expected that the one who reported the Buli people lurking here was you, Brother Ji Yuan. Our Yunqi Army has already wiped out all those Buli army legions."

Because his friends discovered his chuunibyou (delusional) behavior, Yanqing started calling Ji Yuan "big brother."

Seeing this, Tingyun covered her face with her fan, and Ji Yuan, who was standing next to her, could clearly see that the corners of her mouth were turned up.

Ji Yuan patted Yan Qing on the shoulder: "You've finally arrived. Otherwise, Miss Tingyun and I, being completely defenseless, would have been slaughtered by the Bu Liren army."

Actually, Ji Yuan also wanted to laugh, but as a friend, seeing his shy little face almost turning blood red, she really couldn't tease him anymore.

The system's pleasant notification tone reached my ears.

[You witnessed the Luofu Sword Master slay the leader of the Bu Liren cyborg legion. You are rewarded with +1 to the Luofu Sword Master's secret sword technique.]

In an instant, a figure appeared in Ji Yuan's mind, holding a long sword and leaping through the air. Then, the figure swung the sword down, freezing everything within hundreds of meters in front of him into ice.

Ji Yuan watched it once, memorized the sword techniques used, and could execute them as easily as moving his own arms. However, due to insufficient physical strength and energy, Ji Yuan estimated that he could only use them for a distance of about ten meters at most.

However, compared to before, Ji Yuan felt that his strength had increased considerably.

Looking at Yan Qing, Ji Yuan wished he could take him to compete in martial arts tournaments all over the entire Immortal Ship right now. Ji Yuan felt that if he could really take Yan Qing and have him fight everyone on the Immortal Ship, he could probably even challenge General Jing Yuan himself.

"It seems that we haven't exploited Yanqing enough before. We need to find ways to get closer to her in the future."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Yan Qing suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from Ji Yuan, who was not far from him.

He shuddered and walked onto the starship that had previously transported the cargo.

The star raft was almost completely destroyed; the valuable goods were either blown to pieces or thrown off the raft. Yan Qing turned to Ting Yun, who was standing next to Ji Yuan, and said somewhat apologetically, "Um, Miss, we're a little late with these goods..."

"Don't worry, it's good that the Yunqi Army won't pursue the young lady for letting Bu Liren in. As for the compensation..." Tingyun spoke softly at first, but then a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

The fact that they transformed the Buli people into boxes suggests a connection between the Orion merchant group involved in the trade. Since you dare to engage in such commercial warfare, do you really think our [Minghuo] merchant group are any kind of benevolent people?

Throughout the entire Star Sea trading process, even the Interstellar Peace Corporation didn't want to easily antagonize the Immortal Boat Merchant Guild. After all, there was only one merchant guild in the universe that would prioritize revenge over profit. Now that the Orion Merchant Guild had cheated [Minghuo], if Tingyun didn't retaliate, he wouldn't be the Immortal Boat Merchant Guild.

Just as she was about to utter a harsh word, Tingyun saw Ji Yuan standing beside her, and her eyes once again changed to look like she wanted to rely on someone.

"This humble woman has no ability whatsoever; I rely entirely on Lord Ji Yuan to help me seek justice."

As she spoke, she leaned slightly closer to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan dodged to the side.

Are you kidding me? I'm not sure what a corpse is, and you're not sure when you'll be a corpse. If we get together, what if a meteorite suddenly comes and dies?

Let's play it safe.

Let's talk about it when you're free from your death sentence.

He said in a serious tone, "I will report this matter to Lord Yu Kong. If Lord Yu Kong asks the Tianbo Division to handle it, we will definitely help you get justice. If Lord Yu Kong asks me to carry it out, I will do it."

Tingyun's smile froze.

After saying this, Ji Yuan turned to Yan Qing and said with a bright smile, "Brother Yan Qing, thank you for coming to save me today. Are you free when we get back? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

"OK, all right."

Yanqing hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

The general's food was always bland, and it was rather monotonous for a young boy like Yanqing. He was quite looking forward to Ji Yuan improving his meals. Incidentally, Yanqing felt he hadn't had enough of a fight today and wanted to have another good battle with Ji Yuan after dinner.

Tingyun watched from the side, his fox-like teeth starting to grind together.

why?

Why did Ji Yuan revert to his previous cold attitude towards him after everything was over?
