My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

The swarm's strength is not particularly great.

However, the number is simply too large.

Huang Quan and Ji Yuan simultaneously joined forces to help Liu Ying fight the swarm of insects. Ji Yuan used the Dragon Sovereign Technique to quickly reach Liu Ying's side.

"Have you been dealing with these bugs these past few days?"

Ji Yuanfei went to her side and asked her.

“Yes, Elio sent me over there to wipe out the swarm of insects. I’ve dealt with over a hundred million of them in the past few days. Only these few are still active, and now, after my attack, they’ve all flown over here,” Firefly nodded, her voice tinged with weariness.

After all, she was just a newly appointed Commander, slightly weaker than the veteran Commanders. She had been cutting down swarms of insects for several days, and she was starting to feel the urge to rest.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately said with concern, "Then you should rest well this time. With me here, watch me take care of these disgusting guys."

"Yeah, thank goodness you were here this time, otherwise I really would have failed."

The key point is that that's really what she thought.

As Ji Yuan thought this, he swiftly swung his sword, slaying all the breeding insects one by one. Meanwhile, Huang Quan had already killed tens of thousands of insect swarms.

This was because she was worried about the stability of Liumeng Reef and did not go all out.

After Ji Yuan slashed and killed a group of insects with his sword, he once again used the Dragon Sovereign's Mystic Art to conjure up ice dragons, which swallowed all the insects.

With the combined efforts of the three, almost all the insects in the sky were wiped out. Ji Yuan kept one, storing it in his storage device. He would save it for later research.

He wanted to see what different changes would occur in the breeding colonies of insects in this world.

After doing all this, Ji Yuan looked at Liu Ying.

At this moment, Liu Ying made her armor disappear, restoring her original appearance.

Ji Yuan moved closer to Liu Ying, but at this moment Liu Ying showed a look of panic on her face and hurriedly waved her hand at him.

"Don't get too close to me yet."

"Ok?"

Ji Yuan looked confused.

"I've been fighting bugs for days on end, and I've been hiding inside the mech the whole time. I'm sure I smell really bad," Liu Ying said, somewhat dejectedly.

She wore Sam's mech to avoid getting covered in the dust and slime that would explode when the swarm died. Of course, she also had some chuunibyou (delusional) ideas, like being able to shout out attack names freely while inside the mech.

After all, as a former member of the Grammer Ironclad, these bred insects were old rivals. As the fight progressed, Firefly felt she was bound to unleash a torrent of melodramatic, over-the-top remarks.

Hearing her say that, Ji Yuan looked at her speechlessly.

“You are now the Immortal Envoy, and if you are still worried about these smells, I would cry for the fallen Star Dragon.”

"Oh, I think so." Liu Ying nodded in sudden realization. After figuring it out, she excitedly moved closer to Ji Yuan. But she still asked him with some concern, "Is there really no smell?"

"of course."

Seeing that only Huang Quan was looking this way, Ji Yuan leaned closer to Liu Ying and gently placed his lips on her cherry lips.

"It has no taste at all."

After the kiss, Ji Yuan whispered to Liu Ying.

"Ugh..." When he did this, Liu Ying immediately covered her cheeks in embarrassment and then simply hid behind Ji Yuan.

Huang Quan watched from the side, recalling the scene of Ji Yuan forcibly kissing him back then.

A lecherous and greedy fellow.

but,

Just like what he said.

If he weren't so greedy, how could he have found a path to happiness for everyone?

Holding Liu Ying's hand, Ji Yuan walked down, and Huang Quan followed behind him, landing on the ground again.

Because of the appearance of the swarm of insects, the entire Liumeng Reef was in a state of chaos.

Ji Yuanxing and the others walked away from their hiding place. As they walked, Ji Yuanxing asked Liu Ying, "Liu Ying, Elio asked you to deal with the bugs... Never mind, these are your own secrets, I'd better not pry."

Ji Yuan said the first half of his sentence because he was concerned about Liu Ying and wanted to ask her for clarification. However, after saying half of it, Ji Yuan felt that he was being too domineering and trying to control Liu Ying.

However, Firefly had already spilled the beans: "There's no secret. The script Elio gave me is to first wipe out the swarms of insects hidden behind the surface of Dream Reef. As for the rest, Elio said to just listen to you."

She had no intention of hiding it from Ji Yuan.

"Mm." Ji Yuan nodded.

Huang Quan then asked Liu Ying a question.

"You mean the surface? Are there even deeper insects beneath that surface?"

Firefly nodded: "Yes, Elio told me that there is at least a swarm of Envoy-level insects in Pinocene. Perhaps even stronger. However, Elio did not explain the specifics to me."

Even stronger than the messenger...

Then the only option is to breed Star Gods.

But wasn't it killed by the Guardian Star God with a single blow? Could it possibly be resurrected?

This is not good. My current strength is not yet at the Envoy level, and the resurrection of the Star God would be very troublesome.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

This matter still needs to be investigated.

But now he senses that Pinocchio is having more trouble.

Harmony, memory, exploration, joy, one's own hunt, the nothingness of the underworld, and now, the existence of reproduction.

With these complex forces converging, and with them currently in a dream state, they might unexpectedly enter a dream realm different from reality. Ji Yuan had no idea how many crises this would ultimately unleash.

However, now that I've taken precautions, things shouldn't be too difficult to handle. Besides, the strongest member of Pinocchio, the comedic genius Hipe, definitely doesn't want to see Pinocchio in such chaos.

This is your chance.

With this in mind, Ji Yuan waited until he found Robin and Xing.

"Star, Silver Wolf, and Miss Robin, we meet again." Standing next to Ji Yuan, Liu Ying greeted Star and the others with a slightly shy expression.

"Mmm." Xing walked over to Liu Ying and patted her shoulder hard. "You looked so cool just now!"

"Well, there's no Marshal Ji anymore." Liu Ying looked a little embarrassed when she heard Xing teasing her like this, and moved even closer to Ji Yuan's back.

Silver Wolf was furious when he saw Firefly grabbing Ji Yuan like that.

"You're the envoy, you're too soft. If it were me..."

Silver Wolf blushed, seemingly lost in thought.

Liu Ying recovered at this moment, and then she looked at Misha, who hadn't greeted her, and said with a smile, "Hello, are you Ji Yuan's new friend?"

Misha nodded vigorously, then, as if remembering something, he said to Liuying, "Sister, we've met before. I saw you in a hurry at Liumeng Reef and asked if you had anything to do and if I could help you. But you didn't seem to hear me and just left."

"Oh? Is that so? But I've never seen you before. Maybe I didn't hear you. I'm so sorry."

Liu Ying felt a little apologetic.

It's really wrong of me to ignore a child who kindly asks if I need help and then simply walk away.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm used to it."

Ji Yuan glanced at Misha again at this moment.

This child's identity is truly mysterious.

Let's investigate further later.

"Misha, what's good to eat at Liumeng Reef? Let's rest for a bit later and then find a place to eat."

The best way for Ji Yuan to investigate his identity.

Have a meal!

Of course, the simplest way is to beat him up.

However, Ji Yuan still couldn't bring himself to beat up an innocent child for no reason.

"Okay, I'll take you there then."

Misha nodded quickly.

Afterwards, the group decided to find a place to rest.

As he walked, Ji Yuan glanced at the huge hole in the sky above Liumeng Reef.

At that moment, he sensed two enormous red eyes appearing behind the void. And behind those eyes, there seemed to be an even more terrifying body.

Ji Yuan wanted to look again, but found that he could no longer see what was inside.

"This……"

Ji Yuan put the matter aside.

Then, led by Misha, the group found a suitable place to stay.

As they walked like this, the others exchanged glances, sensing that something was amiss.

Misha seemed to know everyone, but everyone seemed to be seeing Misha for the first time.

Is this person really that insignificant?

Everyone couldn't help but think this to themselves.

While thinking this, Misha had already found accommodation for everyone.

"You all rest for a bit first, and I'll take Mr. Ji Yuan and the others to dinner later."

"it is good."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Everyone returned to their rooms to rest for a few hours before going to eat.

This also gave the people outside time to clean up the swarm of dead insects.

Of course, there is one exception.
