My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

On one hand, he was still considering Tingyun's and his own identities a hundred years later, and felt that it was really unlucky for the two corpses to be side by side; on the other hand, this was the first time that Ji Yuan had been so close to a woman of the opposite sex with whom he had no family ties.

Although his adoptive mother and sister were not related by blood, they were still officially recognized relatives, and having grown up together, they naturally wouldn't have considered such matters. But now, being so close to Tingyun made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

In particular, Ji Yuan's gaze swept over Ting Yun's pair of snow-white thighs and slender, jade-like feet. Her skin was so delicate and smooth that it looked like he wanted to lick it.

No, I'm not that perverted.

After repeatedly replaying in his mind the possibility that he and Tingyun could become corpses at any moment, Ji Yuan finally managed to suppress this feeling.

A beautiful woman and a beautiful skeleton—it's all fleeting.

He quickly focused his attention on the equipment and made his selections from the most expensive items.

"This, this, and this..."

Manager Sun looked at the items that Ji Yuan had chosen.

Artificial intelligence scanning systems, ship-to-air guns, laser beam nets, particle cutting equipment...

Manager Sun looked at these things; even if they were loaded onto a spaceship, ordinary pirates couldn't get in. But if these were loaded onto the mansion, wouldn't the wealthy people be able to break in?

Forget it, I'll just install some basic security measures at home later, instead of following this guy's example.

"Besides these defensive measures, is there anything else we need to buy?"

Manager Sun asked Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, of course. I also need to buy some daily necessities and do some renovations."

Chapter 22 My Sister is Disabled in Both Literature and Martial Arts

While they were talking about the defense equipment, Tingyun could only listen from the sidelines and couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Although she came from a family of aviators, she had never cared about weapons due to her physical condition. She didn't understand anything Ji Yuan was saying and could only listen silently.

Now that the topic of buying daily necessities comes up, Tingyun instantly perks up.

Ok,

That's when you get to your own territory.

Tingyun quickly picked up her tablet and started swiping in front of Ji Yuan: "The Industrial Bureau sells a lot of things here, but there are still many daily necessities that we need to buy from other shops. Ji Yuan, let's order them here and have them delivered. Then we can go to other places to buy them and have them delivered as well."

As she did this, Tingyun's fingers and Ji Yuan's hand involuntarily touched. While tracing the lines, she even unconsciously hooked her little finger against Ji Yuan's little finger.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but turn to look at Ting Yun.

Tingyun chuckled inwardly, but her expression remained that of someone intently watching the tablet.

Ji Yuan almost thought it was his imagination.

He quickly said to Tingyun, "Um, Miss Tingyun, I'm not very familiar with everyday items, especially women's everyday items. I might have to ask you for help."

Upon hearing that Ji Yuan was going to buy women's products, Ting Yun felt a pang of jealousy. However, a second later, she realized that Ji Yuan was buying them for his sister.

Yes, I feel much more at ease now.

Tingyun smiled and said, "This is my specialty. By the way, I wonder what kind of personality your sister has, so I can help her buy the goods."

Find out about his sister's personality so that she can experience the care from her 'older sister' when she arrives.

"Shangshang?" Ji Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "She's probably disabled in both literature and martial arts, innocent and carefree, but very helpful?"

"Both literary and martial arts...disabled?!"

When it came to the last word, Tingyun thought Ji Yuan had misspoke.

"Ah."

Ji Yuan nodded seriously.

"Shangshang has never been a good student since she was little, and she can't learn martial arts well either. Her mother would drag her out of bed early in the morning to practice swordsmanship. As soon as she saw the textbook in class, she would go to sleep. Over time, the teacher even gave her the nickname 'Li the Big Pillow'."

Ji Yuan is very talkative, much like a good older brother.

Listening to this, Tingyun couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, your sister goes to practice martial arts every morning, what about you? Do you do the same?"

"Yes, I was also dragged out of bed to practice martial arts every day."

Ji Yuan nodded.

"But why didn't you get criticized by the teacher in class?"

"Because I'm a genius! If I've mastered everything I need to know before class, then even the teacher can't control me."

Ji Yuan said smugly.

Seeing Ji Yuan so happy, Ting Yun couldn't help but smile happily.

Speaking of his younger sister, Ji Yuan remembered the purpose of her visit and said to Tingyun, "By the way, little Tingyun..."

He had only spoken half of what he was saying when Tingyun tapped Ji Yuan's hand with his index finger.

"If you keep being so polite, I won't help you anymore."

"Alright, alright, Tingyun, I want to ask if you are clear about the upcoming retaliatory action against the Orion Merchant Guild? Lord Yukong didn't explain it very clearly that day. Changchang is a member of the Cloud Cavalry, so she's probably going to the battlefield."

Ji Yuan was very worried about this.

No, when she comes, I'll definitely use the system to give her a thorough check-up.

Back when Changchang went to boarding school for tutoring, I didn't feel anything, but now that I think about it, her appearance seems somewhat familiar.

Could it be that she was also a controllable character, but she hadn't grown up yet? Now that she's a bit older, it should be clear.

If she's really strong, then wouldn't I be able to consistently and continuously fleece her?

Tingyun smiled and said, "It's unlikely that the Fengrao people will appear on a large scale over there, so the intensity of the war probably won't be too great. I will also be a member of the merchant guild and watch the war from the sidelines. If that's not possible, I'll have my sister act as my bodyguard."

"Let's wait for her to arrive first. If everything is safe, it would be good for her to gain some experience."

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and then answered.

"Ok."

Tingyun nodded, then thought for a moment and tilted her head to look at Ji Yuan: "Speaking of which, Ji Yuan, would you like to come to the battlefield with me? The Maritime Trade Officer has a lot of authority in trade. Basically, he can get involved in anything related to goods. If you come to the battlefield with me, there shouldn't be any problems."

"This one……"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan instantly sobered up.

The two of them boarded the same starship at the same time; isn't this like a scene from 'Final Destination'?

Dangerous, extremely dangerous.

"I will stay at the Tianbo Company and wait for news of your victory."

Seeing Ji Yuan's reaction, Ting Yun was furious.

Why is it like this again?!

Ji Yuan, what's wrong with you?

She rolled her eyes at him, then picked up her tablet and started buying goods.

After purchasing these items, she told Manager Sun, "Manager Sun, please deliver these goods to this location later."

Ji Yuan wrote down the address and handed it to Sun San.

“Okay, I will deliver these items when the time comes. As for the two defense systems, I will immediately arrange for people to install them at Miss Tingyun and Mr. Ji Yuan’s homes.”

"Then I'll trouble you. Ji Yuan, let's go buy some other things."

She slowly stood up, deliberately making two clattering sounds with her high heels on the ground, drawing Ji Yuan's attention.

"Ah."

He quickly stood up and called to Qingni and Yanqing to set off together.

Qingni looked helpless, while Yanqing looked excited.

Qingni gave Tingyun a look.

I've made a huge sacrifice for you. This little guy was talking about all sorts of swords, from their construction to their history, and it gave me a headache.

Tingyun replied with an apology.

She then said, "Let's go, let's go buy some daily necessities."

"Uh-huh."

Qingni nodded quickly. She felt that she would dream of a bunch of swords tonight after she got back.

The four people left the workshop and headed to a shop selling daily necessities. However, after taking only a few steps, they saw that the open space in front of them was surrounded by a group of people.

Ji Yuan looked around curiously and saw a girl with orange hair in a side ponytail inside, energetically banging a gong.

After striking the gong once, she put it down, took out a sword, and shouted to the people around her:

"This young lady is new to your esteemed land, so I'll show off my skills and perform for you. A few coins won't be too much, but a thousand coins would be a generous gesture. Forget the gossip, I'll present you with my signature act!"

"Today, I, Guinevere, will perform a sword-swallowing back exercise for you all."

As she said this, she raised the sword high.

PS: Gui Naifen hasn't met Su Chang yet, and is still using her real name, Guinevere.

Chapter 23 The Legendary Contortionist of the Acrobatic Master

Upon seeing the man raise his sword, Yanqing immediately stopped in his tracks.

He tugged at Ji Yuan's sleeve and said, "Brother Ji Yuan, let's watch this person perform swordsmanship over here. What if she's a master swordsman?"

"This...it can't be." Looking at this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel that this person was an acrobat.

But thinking about the wallpaper image I saw in my past life, there might be something different about her. What if she's one of those swordsmen disguised as acrobats?

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Yanqing looked expectantly in the direction of street performer Guinevere.

All that could be seen was Guinevere raising the longsword high, then opening her mouth and swallowing it inch by inch. In the end, the entire sword was swallowed, leaving only the hilt sticking out.
