This Is My Planet - Chapter 111 - Chapter 111 – Some Things To Do
Back on the surface of the Azure Dragon Star, they appeared directly in the southwest defense zone.
Yan Wuyue had a lot of questions for Xia Guixuan, but hindered by Ling Moxue standing there, she couldn’t ask a single word. So, she just stared at her directly.
The implication was clear: You said you were eavesdropping just to verify whether Gongsun Jiu is gay, it has nothing to do with Xia Guixuan. Now, you really have no reason to continue lingering here, right?
Ling Moxue understood the meaning. In fact, she also felt that she was acting foolishly. She didn’t know what she was doing. Being a little female slave, she kept actively seeking approval. Hadn’t she knelt enough?
But being around him felt… like a habit, like there was some kind of magnetic field drawing her in. She felt more at ease around him, and even went into battle and killed enemies just for the possibility of him liking her, as if it was all for the sake of him nodding and saying, “Moxue, you did well this time”…
She couldn’t even discern what kind of mentality this was.
To forcefully say it was love, it definitely wasn’t. It was completely Stockholm Syndrome, yet not entirely. Maybe… it was closer to worship?
Ling Moxue felt that if she continued like this, not only would she fail to achieve clarity in her thoughts, but her mind would be a tangled mess, like a soft sword entangled in threads?
What kind of cultivation was this?
She took a deep breath and clasped her hands, saying, “The external enemies have been dealt with, I’ll go back to cultivate now, so… farewell.”
Xia Guixuan nodded and his tone was gentle, “Go ahead, having truly participated in a bloody battle will be beneficial for you. Concentrate and cultivate in seclusion. You might become a Qian Yuan when you come out.”
“Thank you…for your guidance.” Ling Moxue bowed and left on her sword.
Xia Guixuan watched her leaving on the sword for a long time without saying a word.
“What’s wrong? Can’t bear to look away?” Yan Wuyue said sarcastically.
“She’s a lot like me.”
“Huh?”
“Her mood and the way she left at the end were like looking at my own shadow.” Xia Guixuan smiled, “Even before, she wasn’t Xu’er, but Tai Kang… And then, she’s also seeking her path.”
He had said this to Ling Moxue before, and Ling Moxue naturally listened with some confusion, but in Xia Guixuan’s eyes, she really resembled him.
It’s just that her luck wasn’t very good, she ran into a man and became a little female slave.
While he encountered a gentle elder sister.
But in the end, the departing figure still looked so similar.
“So…” Yan Wuyue asked uncertainly, “Do you actually regard her as your disciple?”
“There’s that implication, at least she’s more like a disciple than Xiang Yuxuan.”
“Who’s Xiang Yuxuan?” Yan Wuyue asked curiously.
Xia Guixuan suddenly remembered that Yan Wuyue was kept outside the space he created and didn’t know about the things concerning the divine descendants on the Azure Dragon Star, so he didn’t explain and just said, “I have been acting casually and without any goals. Now after some events, I found that I still have some things to do… And most of them require your help.”
“Such as the ruins below?” Yan Wuyue asked.
“Yes, there are some things I need inside. Besides, there should be many similar places within Great Xia’s territory. Have most of them been developed?”
“The divine descendant ruins in Great Xia haven’t been developed much. Because the treasures of the divine descendants are not compatible with our system. Only certain confirmed energy and material items will be intentionally developed. Many treasures that appear to be fabric or stone-like artifacts are basically useless to us. After being developed, they become collectibles for auctions.”
Xia Guixuan remembered the mirror-like artifact that the young master of Zhou family had before. Humans had their own ways of detecting demons. Such items were different from the human system and were not widely used. They often became ornaments for the powerful to show off, to demonstrate that they had the treasures of immortals.
And some higher-end items, which required spiritual energy or even divine sense to operate, couldn’t be used at all and could only become collectibles—maybe they were secretly sold back to the divine descendants through some channels? Or perhaps sold to interstellar merchants? All very normal.
Yan Wuyue continued, “If it’s for these things, you might find Ling Moxue useful. The Heavenly Dao Sect is constantly searching for various ruins in secret. They obtain treasures, spirit stones, and various martial arts and cultivation insights. Her resources might include many ruins that the military hasn’t discovered yet, after all, everyone’s focus is different. The military focuses more on usable energy reactions, while they focus more on cultivation related items.”
Xia Guixuan’s expression was somewhat strange.
Just a moment ago, he was thinking that Ling Moxue should focus on her cultivation and stay away from him, which could also help her concentrate on her practice. This attitude was indeed somewhat like that of expecting a disciple… But now it seemed it might not be that easy after all…
“As for the ruins in the southwest defense zone… follow me.” Yan Wuyue strode towards the defense zone headquarters.
The steel city defenses, which had been destroyed by Hun Yuan, were now being rebuilt under the leadership of Vice Officer Lin, with soldiers bustling about, giving off an atmosphere of rebuilding after the war.
For the soldiers in the defense zone, this war seemed to have erupted somewhat mysteriously. Fortunately, Yan Wuyue commanded well, and there were no casualties. The losses were all in terms of fortifications and supplies, which was hardly an issue for the country.
Seeing Yan Wuyue coming over, the soldiers all respected her. Everyone knew that if it wasn’t for Yan Wuyue, and instead it was the previous General Zhang, they might all have died without knowing why. Wherever she went, there was a solemn salute, “General Yan!”
Yan Wuyue asked, “Who’s in charge of the development of the ancient divine descendant ruins here?”
Vice Officer Lin wiped his sweat, “It’s personally overseen by General Zhang’s trusted aide.”
Yan Wuyue’s face was as calm as water, “It’s truly deserving of death.”
This was clearly treating the ruins as personal property, and who knew how much they had stuffed into their own pockets. She couldn’t be bothered with small talk and directly took one of General Zhang’s trusted aides down to the dungeon, asking, “Where’s the entrance to the ruins?”
The person trembled in fear, “It’s, it’s right under the city defenses. I-I’ll take General Yan there.”
This was the reason Xia Guixuan “borrowed” Yan Wuyue. Because, in fact, one of the main tasks of the entire southwest defense zone was to guard and develop the ancient divine descendant ruins. Of course, he could sneak in casually, but was it necessary? With Yan Wuyue leading the way, it would be considered an official action. What might have required conflicts or sneaking around human military forces now became full support and backing, with someone leading and introducing them, and there were plenty of people to do the dirty work.
There was no need to be so solitary about everything. That was just asking for trouble.
There was an elevator that went straight down, deep into the ground for hundreds of meters. Once down below, there was a stone door that had been unlocked and could be opened and closed at any time. Behind the door was a vast area of ancient ruins, stretching from the mountains in the north to the depths of the sea in the south, filled with the ruins of ancient divine descendant tribes or sects.
After all, it had been a civilization of twenty-five thousand years, and there were still many things to be excavated.
The trusted aide asked nervously, “This area below is extremely vast. We’ve been developing it for several years, but it’s only the surface area that has been explored. I wonder which parts General Yan wants to see?”
Yan Wuyue looked at Xia Guixuan, who then asked, “Have you explored the Sea Clan area?”
The person looked embarrassed, “The sea area happens to be the area we’ve explored the least, because the seabed is extremely complex, with many strange formations, and it’s even uncertain if there are any remnants of ancient ruins. It’s very dangerous… We have tried to explore it before, but as soon as we entered the surface, a lot of people were hit by a lust illusion spell and almost, almost died on the spot.”
“…” Yan Wuyue was surprised, “Can’t your battle suits isolate against this type of wave intrusion?”
“It can’t be isolated. Even General Zhang’s unauthorized use of Level 5 battle suits couldn’t provide protection.”
Yan Wuyue angrily said, “In such a situation, you didn’t report to the military, and you still plan to swallow it all by yourselves one day?”
The person wiped his sweat and remained silent.
Xia Guixuan probed the south with his divine sense, and smiled faintly, “It’s good that they didn’t mess with it. I’ll go in for a while… Oh, and you guys guard outside. If a little girl comes running, stop her.”
Yan Wuyue subconsciously said, “I’ll go too.”
Xia Guixuan nodded, “Sure, there are some things inside that are suitable for you.”
Vice Officer Lin and the others looked at each other strangely, exchanging looks that no one could understand.
A lustful spell that Level 5 battle suits couldn’t protect against, and it induced sexual desire, almost causing coupling.
You’re not making any arrangements, and you’re just going in directly like this, a man and a woman?
Why does it feel like the deputy marshal’s hat is a bit green… Forget it, we don’t know anything, and we dare not ask anything.
