Well, well, Stelle actually lives next door to me, Derick thought to himself when he saw her.
On the other side, Stelle was also taken aback when she saw Derick. She then raised her hand to greet him.
Derick returned the greeting.
All his previous meetings with Stelle had been through his second clone. Now, greeting her as his main body was a very novel experience.
Leaning against the window, Stelle decided to chat with Derick. She looked up at him sideways and said, "My name is Stelle. I'm a Nameless from the Astral Express. What about you?"
For some reason, Stelle felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing the young man before her, as if she had met him before.
At this thought, Stelle couldn't help but scold herself internally for being so easily swayed by looks. She couldn't just feel a sense of kinship because the young man before her was cute and handsome.
But this guy is really good-looking, even more so than Dan Heng. Next time I have to fight a female enemy, if I bring him along, the difficulty of the battle would probably drop by more than half.
Derick introduced himself to Stelle, "Stelle, my name is Derick. I'm a student of the Yaoqing's General Feixiao. I came to the Xianzhou Luofu this time to compete with General Jing Yuan's disciple."
"You're fighting Yanqing? Isn't that a bit like bullying him?" Stelle said, looking at Derick's 1.7-meter-plus frame.
"What's wrong with that? I'm the same age as Yanqing," Derick was getting more and more skilled at claiming he was only fourteen or fifteen, without a trace of embarrassment.
Stelle's eyes lit up. "So you're the same as me! Let me tell you, I'm not even a month old yet. If I watch a livestream, I can even apply for an underage refund."
"That's a great idea, but you'd better not think about it again," Derick couldn't help but retort.
At that moment, Castorice poked her head out from beside Derick, following his gaze to look at Stelle.
"Derick, who is this?"
As Castorice asked, a pink-haired girl also poked her head out from Stelle's side.
It was March 7th.
"Hey, Stelle, who are you talking to?"
March 7th also followed Stelle's gaze and saw Derick and Castorice. Her eyes especially lit up when she saw Derick.
"Wow, little brother, you're really handsome!" As March 7th said this, she subconsciously raised the camera in her hand.
"Can I take a picture of you guys?"
"Of course, you can!" Derick naturally didn't mind having his picture taken by March 7th. So he and Castorice stood close together, letting March get a good photo.
March 7th snapped a picture of Derick and Castorice.
"Thank you so much," March 7th said happily, looking at the photo in her camera. Then she thought for a moment and said to them, "By the way, we're going out to eat now. Do you want to come with us?"
The Spices-of-Life Inn actually provided three meals, but Derick also wanted to take a look around, so he naturally agreed to her request.
After tidying up his clothes, Derick and Castorice walked out of the room. On the other side, March 7th and Stelle also came out of their room. And besides the two of them, Welt Yang also emerged from another room.
Stelle introduced Derick to Welt Yang.
"Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang, he's the disciple of that general from the Xianzhou Yaoqing. The general brought him here this time to compete with Yanqing."
"Oh? Is that so?" Welt pushed up his glasses, a thoughtful expression on his face. He didn't know why General Feixiao would come here at this time, but for the current situation on the Luofu, adding another Emanator-level combatant was undoubtedly a good thing.
He still didn't know that Ruan Mei had gone to the Xianzhou Zhuming and had already explained the situation to Huaiyan.
Xianzhou Luofu, Seat of Divine Foresight.
Feixiao and Huaiyan had arrived.
Seeing them arrive, Jing Yuan stood at the entrance to welcome them.
"General Huaiyan, Sky-Shattering General, welcome," he said to the two with a smile.
"Seeing you so happy, I really don't want to tell you about the situation here," Feixiao said speechlessly upon seeing Jing Yuan's expression.
"Oh? The Stellaron is about to erupt on the Luofu, is it? I've already made preparations for that," Jing Yuan said to Feixiao.
"A Stellaron? What Stellaron?" Feixiao blinked, not quite understanding what Jing Yuan was talking about.
Now it was Jing Yuan's turn to be surprised.
"Didn't you come here because you heard news about the Stellaron?"
"If it was just to deal with a Stellaron, what would I be doing here?" Feixiao's eyes were filled with disdain.
"You mean the Lord Ravager?"
"Yes, a Lord Ravager." Feixiao nodded, then her gaze turned to General Huaiyan at her side. "Old man Huaiyan was the one who informed me of this matter. It's better for him to explain the specifics to you."
Anyway, with three Xianzhou generals here, if Phantylia could still eavesdrop on them, then they might as well not even think about dealing with her. Just let the Luofu be destroyed.
"A few days ago, Lady Ruan Mei of the Genius Society brought Tingyun, a native of the Luofu, to find me on the Zhuming…"
Hearing Huaiyan's words, Jing Yuan immediately understood.
"The one on the Luofu now is Phantylia? She disguised herself as Tingyun and plans to wreak havoc on the Xianzhou." This method of impersonating others, stirring up conflict, and thereby causing destruction was a common trick of Phantylia's in the Antimatter Legion. With Huaiyan's explanation, Jing Yuan understood the general situation.
"Yes. So we came over, intending to trap her on the Luofu for good. To be honest, I really want to have the achievement of defeating a Lord Ravager," Feixiao said with a loud laugh.
Then, the three of them began to discuss the details of the upcoming battle. After a long discussion, they finally worked out the specifics.
After finishing the official business, Jing Yuan returned to his usual lazy demeanor. He remembered Yanqing's slightly tearful expression earlier and said to Feixiao, "Looking at Yanqing's expression earlier, it seems he suffered a setback, didn't he?"
Huaiyan also chimed in from the side, "It's not just your disciple. My granddaughter was also defeated by the Sky-Shattering General's prized student."
"Oh?" Jing Yuan looked at Feixiao with surprise.
"This is what you call being better at picking them than teaching them. I just went out on a military operation and managed to pick up such an outstanding student." Feixiao was full of pride.
Then, seeing the interested expressions on Jing Yuan and Huaiyan's faces, Feixiao recounted the story of how she had "picked up" Derick.
Hearing that Feixiao would trust a stranger she had just met, the two couldn't help but admire her boldness.
Looking at their expressions, Feixiao was completely nonchalant.
Anyway, she trusted her intuition. Just like how the previous general had trusted her back when she was a Borisin battle slave.
Welt Yang didn't go out with Stelle and the others.
Cipher wouldn't miss this opportunity. She directly followed behind Derick and Castorice. And while she was at it, she also pulled Hyacine along.
So the group going out to eat became Derick, Castorice, Stelle, March 7th, Cipher, and Hyacine.
March 7th was very interested in the Little Ika that Hyacine was holding. The two of them walked together, teasing the little creature.
Cipher was the most curious about her surroundings, looking at all the shops around her.
And the group of them also attracted the eyes of many other people on the Xianzhou.
A Xianzhou youth surrounded by five foreign young women, each with a different style and grace, but all extremely beautiful… it was truly an enviable sight.
Just what kind of ability does that youth have!
The crowd looked at Derick with jealousy and hatred. Then, in their hearts, they felt both admiration and resentment.
Tch, another one who relies on his good looks. If I had your looks, I definitely wouldn't be any worse than you.
The passersby left with such thoughts.
"Amphoreus? I've never heard of that place. I'll have to ask Uncle Yang or Dan Heng later to see if they know," March 7th said, intrigued by this place after hearing about Derick's origins.
"If you have the chance, you can go and take a look."
I just don't know if the current March 7th would still be frozen if she went there, Derick thought to himself.
At that moment, he felt a strange sensation in his right eye again.
March 7th looked ahead and said to the group, "There's a bubble tea shop over here. Let's have some bubble tea here first, and then we'll go eat."
"Okay."
This is a good chance to rest and investigate the strange feeling in my eye.
The group entered the bubble tea shop. March 7th knew that Derick and the others were not familiar with the Luofu, so she took the lead in helping them order.
Derick, meanwhile, began to investigate the strange feeling in his eye.
The perspective of his right eye began to shift.
Huh!?
A fourth perspective? Have I created a fourth clone?
The strange feeling this time was the same as before; it was the creation of a new clone.
Derick wanted to investigate where the new clone was.
Wait, what is this situation?! Why can't my clone move?
Just as Derick was about to control the clone, he suddenly discovered that his fourth clone couldn't move at all.
At first, Derick thought there was some kind of accident, but he soon realized through the third-person perspective that there was no problem with his fourth clone's bodily functions. It was simply that the place it was in had it stuck, making it unable to move. Investigating his surroundings, Derick discovered that his fourth clone seemed to be inside a tree.
What's going on?! My clone is stuck in a tree?
What kind of tree is this? Why can't it struggle free at all? Even the scythe that comes with it has a very hard time cutting through.
As Derick was thinking, he suddenly heard a voice from outside.
"Are the preparations ready?"
"Of course. This time, we must give those followers of the Reignbow Arbiter a sufficient 'surprise.'"
Mentioning the Reignbow Arbiter? Are these guys from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus?
