Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

"This brother must be new to Ohm, right? We can get to know each other better on our way here."

Chapter 9 Meeting Aglaia [Fourth Update]

Seeing that the group had decided on their actions, Jason asked timidly from the side:

"Um, Lady Aglaia, you don't need me to come over, do you?"

He didn't want to meet those important figures.

“No, Lady Agrea did not call him Lord Jason.” Xia Die shook her head.

Hearing her say that, Jason breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "In that case, I'll take my leave."

He turned and left without hesitation. After walking a few steps, he turned back to Bai Yuan and said, "Well, Brother Bai Yuan, you go see Lord Aglaia first. I just told you the address of my house. Come over when you're done; I'll be waiting for you there."

"Ah."

Bai Yuan nodded.

Jason was finally able to leave with peace of mind.

Only Bai Yuan, Xia Die, Bai E, and Wan Di remained. Bai E instinctively reached out to pat Bai Yuan's shoulder, but seeing Xia Die's hand still resting on it, he quickly withdrew and moved a safe distance away.

Seeing this, Xia Die silently withdrew her hand.

Bai E then patted Bai Yuan on the shoulder.

Wan Di stood to the side, arms crossed, watching.

……

The four people walked towards the Marble Heavenly Palace.

Along the way, Bai E and Wan Di learned about Bai Yuan's background. When Bai E heard that Bai Yuan came from a small village on the border, just like him, he patted his chest and said that he would protect Bai Yuan.

Seeing Bai E's statement, Wan Di, who was standing to the side, quietly said "HKS".

Upon entering the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace, Bai Yuan immediately felt that the temperature inside was significantly higher than outside. Looking around, he had to admit, it truly lived up to its name as a bathhouse; the atmosphere was even more bustling than the market outside.

Bai'er explained, "The Marble Palace is a huge bath blessed by Fajina. People gather here to enjoy the pleasures of banquets and honey, and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of debate and laughter. After we come out of Aglaia's place, we can take a nice bath here."

"Bai E, can you take a bath in these clothes?" Bai Yuan asked hesitantly.

He glanced at the pool. Unlike in the game where you could wear anything and go in, the people inside were dressed rather lightly. They didn't know how to wear shoes, and Bai E's clothes were definitely not suitable for soaking in.

His clothes would be considered a sign of drowning.

Bai E shook his head with a smile: "How could that be? There is a special changing room next to the bath. I have my bath clothes there, so I can just go there to change."

"So that's it."

"Alright, we're about to head to the Hero's Bath to see Lady Aglaia." Xia Die walked to the control lever, which resembled an elevator mechanism.

When the mobile platform came down, Xia Die said to Bai Yuan, "Lord Bai Yuan, please stand properly on the platform."

Bai Yuan listened to Xia Die's words and stood on the platform. The other three people followed suit, with Xia Die leaning against Bai Yuan, while Wan Di and Bai E were a little further away from them.

On the platform, Xia Die spoke to Bai Yuan, saying, "Your Excellency Bai Yuan, the Hero's Bath above was specially built by the Senate for the Golden Descendants. It's an exception that you went up there. Please don't tell anyone about the Hero's Bath after you leave."

"Okay, I know."

As the two were talking, the platform quickly rose to the Hero's Bath, where Aglaia, Tibo, and Tinin stood waiting for them.

"Little Yuan, you're finally here." Tibao stretched out her tiny hand to greet Bai Yuan. Then she saw Wan Di and Bai E and asked curiously, "Little Bai, Little Di, what brings you here too?"

“I just ran into Lord Wan Di and Lord Bai E at the Marble Market, so I invited them to come along,” Xia Die said, bowing to Ti Bao and Aglaia.

“Aya.” Tibo looked at Aglaia, wanting to see her reaction.

“Perfect timing, I was also looking forward to inviting Bai E and Wan Di.” Aglaia was already aware of this, and she stepped forward with a smile, appearing even more beautiful and dignified.

"I have something to ask of you two later."

Aglaia then walked to a spot less than five steps away from Shiro.

"I'd like to check on your body, Bai Yuan. Is that alright? You just suffered such severe injuries. Although you've recovered now, we still need to check for any internal injuries," she said in a questioning tone.

"of course can."

Bai Yuan knew that Aglaia wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal. Since that was the case, he might as well just show it to her openly.

Anyway, his secrets mainly lie with his clone, so Bai Yuan isn't worried that his main body will find out anything. Xia Die, Wan Di, and Bai E are still watching from the side.

"Thank you for your candor."

Aglaia gently raised her hand, and golden threads appeared, wrapping around Bai Yuan's body.

Although it appeared to be tightened, Bai Yuan didn't feel any pain. On the contrary, the warm energy emanating from the golden threads felt quite comfortable.

Even sensitive areas were wrapped with silk threads, making Bai Yuan blush a little.

After the silk threads had been wrapped around for a while, they released Bai Yuan and returned him to Aglaia's body.

Aglaia wore a thoughtful expression.

She checked Bai Yuan's body again; he didn't have any characteristics of a Golden Descendant and didn't belong to the Golden Descendant.

His body was perfectly healthy; he was not cursed by any Titan or the Black Tide. This was confirmed by Aglaia after repeated verification.

He was just a handsome boy whose body was developed far beyond his peers in some aspects.

But why was he able to resist Cenathos's call?

Aglaia still couldn't find any reason.

"It seems the only option is to find a way to continue questioning him," Aglaia thought to herself.

She turned and pointed to the bath behind her, saying to Bai Yuan, "Bai Yuan, although the examination revealed no hidden injuries, for your health, please soak in this bath for a while. I've added a lot of beneficial medicines to it; even if you have no problems, it will still be good for your health."

Bai Yuan walked cautiously to the edge of the bath, took off his sandals, and slowly stepped into the bath.

His clothes were light and airy, so he didn't need to change.

As her slender calves sank into the scalding hot bath, Bai Yuan felt a wave of comfort wash over her, traveling from her calves all the way up to the top of her head.

He couldn't resist sitting down, letting the pool water soak his entire body, leaving only his head sticking out.

Outside the pool, Aglaia said to Xia Die and the others, "Xia Die, Bai E, Wan Di, the three of you go out for a moment. I have some things I want to ask Bai Yuan."

Seeing the worried look on Xia Die's face, she pointed at Ti Bao.

"Don't worry, Teacher Tibo is here too."

Chapter 10 Aglaia's Suspicion Hasn't Ceased [Fifth Update]

"Yes, I'm here too."

Tibo made a guarantee from the side.

Seeing Ti Bao's assurance, Xia Die left with Bai E and Wan Di with peace of mind.

Tibo and Tinin both looked at Aglaia. Tibo hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help saying to Aglaia, "Aglaia, if you don't trust others, you'll suffer the consequences one day."

"Perhaps, but for the journey to chase fire, I'm willing to pay any price." Aglaia took off her sandals, arched her beautiful feet, and stepped into the bath.

"The medicinal herbs in this pool can greatly improve one's health. It's just a slight illusion. Don't worry, Teacher Tibo, Bai Yuan won't know. He just thinks he's having a beautiful dream."

As she spoke, she gently stepped onto the bottom of the bathtub and walked to Bai Yuan's side.

Tibo stood by the pool, unable to go in. She looked at Aglaia, hands on her hips, her expression serious: "Aya, this is the last time. If you still don't believe in Xiaoxiaoyuan next time, I will stand against you too."

"I understand." Aglaia nodded and walked to Bai Yuan's side. The two sat side by side, and she reached out to gently stroke his face. A few strands of gold appeared and fell onto Bai Yuan's wrist. She spoke softly, as if in love.

"What's your name? Where are you from?"

Bai Yuan's eyes were unfocused as he softly spoke, "My name is Bai Yuan, and I come from a village called Crete."

I had anticipated this move from the start. I simply didn't believe that Aglaia, who couldn't get a reasonable result, would completely trust me.

As Bai Yuan answered, he thought to himself.

At this moment, his left eye was indeed seeing an illusion, just like Aglaia's. His gaze fell upon the small room he had been in before the time travel, complete with a computer, a cell phone, and a bustling crowd outside the window.

However, his right eye was completely black.

Upon entering the bath, he activated the vision of his clone. The darkness and coldness surrounding the clone prevented Bai Yuan from entering an illusion, allowing him to remain calm.

Aglaia continued, "Have you ever had contact with a Titan? Or have you ever encountered any mysterious beings? Have you ever obtained any special treasures?"

"No, I had no special experiences before the Black Tide came and destroyed our village."

Aglaia lowered her head and continued, "So what are your thoughts on the Journey of Fire? Are you willing to help Xia Die recover the flame of the Death Titan Cenatos?"

"I don't know what the Fire Chasing Journey is all about. I don't know if I can help Xia Die."

Bai Yuan said blankly.

Meanwhile, he secretly thought to himself that Aglaia had to test him at the very end to see if he had entered a hallucination. If Bai Yuan were to say something that would definitely help the Journey of Fire, it would seem too presumptuous and not like someone who had entered a beautiful hallucination should say.

At least Bai Yuan couldn't believe that the scene in front of him was Xia Die, a junior in a JK uniform, confessing her love to him with a love letter. In his subconscious, he couldn't possibly say anything about risking his life to save the world.

Hearing Bai Yuan's answer, Aglaia was truly speechless. Despite her many doubts, she could only conclude that Bai Yuan was just an ordinary boy from the border region.

Being able to refuse the Hand of Darkness would indeed be of great help to this journey of fire-chasing, even if he is not a Goldenborn.

She reached out again and placed her hand on Bai Yuan's shoulder.

"Aya?" Tibo called out worriedly when she saw her actions.

"Don't worry, Master, I trust Bai Yuan now. I'm only doing this to help him better absorb the medicinal effects of the pool water." Aglaia massaged Bai Yuan's shoulders.

After massaging his shoulders, she went on to massage Bai Yuan's back, thighs... Aglaia massaged every muscle in his body.

Bai Yuan felt much more relaxed.

Today marks my second close encounter with a member of the Golden Clan. In terms of comfort, Xia Die is far inferior to Aglaia, but in terms of mood, Bai Yuan feels much more comfortable in Xia Die's arms than in Aglaia's.

At least he felt he could sleep soundly on Xia Die's lap. But in Aglaia's arms, no matter how comfortable he felt, he had to be on his guard, afraid that Aglaia might do something.

It's really uncomfortable.

Bai Yuan silently kept the events of the day in mind.

After finishing the massage for Bai Yuan, Aglaia gently stroked his cheek one last time. She brought her lips close to his ear and whispered, "Now, the effects of the pool water have gradually worn off. You should leave this beautiful dream and return to your journey of chasing fire."

Seeing Bai Yuan's eyes gradually recover, Tibo felt a little relieved. She looked at Aglaia and said again, "Aya, next time, try to trust others too. If you don't trust others, they won't dare to completely trust you either. Even I have some doubts about you now."

"I understand, my teacher."

Aglaia lowered her head in agreement, but judging from her expression, it didn't seem like she was really agreeing.

"Lady Aglaia, I feel like I had a beautiful dream." Bai Yuan said to Aglaia after waking up.

Soaking in the bath, their clothes clung tightly to their bodies, outlining their curves and creating a unique allure.

Aglaia said softly to Bai Yuan, "Hmm, just have a sweet dream. Go on, go to the dressing room and change your clothes first. I've already had the tailor prepare some clothes for you, so change first."

"Ah."

Bai Yuan quickly got up and headed to the changing room to change his clothes.

After he changed his clothes and put on new sandals, he saw that Aglaia had also changed her clothes. Xia Die, Bai E, and the others also returned to the area.

Upon seeing Bai Yuan, Aglaia pointed to Bai E and Wan Di and said, "Bai Yuan, your current abilities are very helpful to us. However, your current body is weak and your combat ability is insufficient. Therefore, I plan to give you special training. Xia Die's method of becoming stronger is not very suitable for you, Bai Yuan."

"And Wan Di and Bai E will help you train your body properly. Especially Wan Di, who comes from Xuanfeng City, he has a lot of experience in making warriors stronger."

With Bai Yuan's help, seizing the spark of the Death Titan can be achieved much sooner. Therefore, during this period, it is essential to improve Bai Yuan's individual combat abilities.

"I can be very strict when I'm teaching you to become stronger," Bai E said, gesturing to Bai Yuan.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

Bai Yuan nodded repeatedly.

Wan Di also said to Bai Yuan, "Even many of the young men from the Xuanfeng clan couldn't keep up with the special training plan I made for you. You should rest well today, and I hope you can persevere through tomorrow's training."

Chapter 11: The Days of Living with Xia Die Begin [First Update]

Ohma City is always in daylight, but there is a general sense of time. It's getting late, and Bai Yuan really should rest.

Bai Yuan bid farewell to Aglaia, saying, "Lady Aglaia, I'll be leaving now."

I really don't want to stay here any longer.

"Do you have a place to stay in Ohma City?" Aglaia asked Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan replied to Agrea, "I came to the city with Jason. He has a house near the Marble Market where I can stay temporarily."
