Honkai Star Rail: But I can touch Castorice

Derick didn't know what it felt like for others to have their cheeks pinched, but at least, pinching Yunli's face felt quite comfortable. "H

Derick didn't know what it felt like for others to have their cheeks pinched, but at least, pinching Yunli's face felt quite comfortable.

"Hey, hey, hey, be gentle."

After a moment of pinching, Yunli pushed Derick's hand away with dissatisfaction.

"Anyway, the bet between us…"

She turned her back, about to say something, but at that moment she saw that across from her, General Huaiyan was looking at Derick with a deep gaze.

Derick now felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

General Huaiyan definitely treated Yunli like his own granddaughter.

In this situation, is there any expert who can teach me how to repel an enraged Xianzhou general?

Derick thought for a moment and felt that it was probably impossible.

Fortunately, Derick wasn't without a teacher.

Feixiao came over at this time, laughing as she said to Huaiyan, "Old man, it seems my student has won. Next time little Yunli wants to win against my student, she'll have to work harder."

"Mhm, I will teach little Yunli well."

Huaiyan wasn't really trying to make things difficult for Derick; he was just angry seeing Derick and Yunli's intimate actions. Now that Feixiao had come over, he was too embarrassed to even say anything angry.

"Grandpa, why did you come over?" Yunli quickly walked to General Huaiyan's side at this time, asking him why he had come at this hour.

Feixiao said from the side, "Of course, we wanted to secretly check on your progress, to see if you were slacking off behind our backs. It seems now that not only have you not been slacking, but you've also done very well."

"Of course, there's another reason."

Huaiyan spoke up and continued.

"Old man, what other reason?" Derick asked curiously from the side. Although he already had a guess in his heart, he still wanted to hear it from Huaiyan himself.

Huaiyan's tone became serious. "This concerns the safety of the Xianzhou Luofu. Derick, your relationship with the people on the Astral Express is quite close. You must have learned from them about the possible Stellaron crisis coming to the Luofu, right?"

"Yes, I know."

Derick nodded.

Huaiyan took a step forward and continued, "What if I told you that the current crisis on the Luofu is even more severe than a simple Stellaron outbreak?"

Before Derick could react, Yunli quickly and anxiously asked Huaiyan, "What!? Grandpa, there's such a crisis on the Luofu?"

Huaiyan nodded seriously.

Just as he nodded, the ground began to tremble.

Derick and the others were skilled, so they didn't fall.

Feeling the tremor, Feixiao immediately said to the others, "Let's go. It seems the crisis on the Luofu has arrived. We'll go in now and discuss the next steps with Jing Yuan."

"Mhm."

Huaiyan nodded.

Then, the four of them walked towards the Seat of Divine Foresight.

Inside the Seat of Divine Foresight, Castorice was still wondering what Derick and Yunli had gone out to do. But at that moment, she felt a tremor from under her feet, and before the tremor could continue, Derick and the others returned.

And beside Derick and Yunli, General Huaiyan and General Feixiao had also come.

Jing Yuan also stood up at this time, his expression changing from relaxed to serious.

"Jing Yuan, are you prepared for the situation here?" Huaiyan asked him.

"Yes, I am already prepared."

As Jing Yuan spoke, he opened a communication link.

Soon, the image of a petite, pink-haired young woman appeared. She was petite and looked particularly exquisite. Her long pink hair was tied up in a beautiful flying-apsaras style bun, with a golden hairpin inserted diagonally at the back, adding to her elegance. She had a third eye on her forehead, and the strands of hair falling on both sides perfectly framed her delicate little face. A purple circular astrolabe hung on her chest, and the hem of her skirt just managed to cover her thighs. Her slender legs were encased in white patterned pantyhose, making them look straight and slim.

It was the Master Diviner of the Divination Commission, Fu Xuan.

"Fu Xuan, how is the situation on your side?" Jing Yuan asked her in a gentle tone.

"It's mostly done." Fu Xuan's tone was not at all polite. "General, I have already had people use the riots of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus as a pretext to seal off the possible locations of the Stellaron outbreak. The outbreak just now did not cause many casualties among the ordinary citizens of the Xianzhou."

"Mhm, thank you for your hard work, Fu Xuan."

Fu Xuan glared at Jing Yuan. If Feixiao and Huaiyan weren't here, she would have definitely had a good argument with him.

You delegate all the tasks and have me do everything. And you yourself do nothing, just stay in the Seat of Divine Foresight enjoying your leisure?

It's infuriating.

If you want to rest so much, then just give up the position of general already! If I were the general of the Luofu, I would definitely do a much better job than you.

Thinking of something, Fu Xuan quickly said to Jing Yuan, "By the way, General, there's another accident here. That Vidyadhara Healer Lady has been taken away."

Yanqing asked anxiously, "What? The Healer Lady was taken away? Who took her? I'll go and rescue her now."

The Vidyadhara Healer Lady was very important to the Xianzhou Luofu. If she were taken away, the Xianzhou would truly fall into chaos. Thinking of this, Yanqing was extremely anxious.

Seeing his anxious look, Jing Yuan patted his shoulder to calm him down.

"Fu Xuan should know who took her, right?" Jing Yuan said to her.

Fu Xuan had originally intended to use this to make Jing Yuan a bit more vigilant and not be so idle all the time. But looking at his expression, he wasn't scared at all.

"The person who took the Healer Lady is a woman wearing a cat-style hoodie."

As for things like her tall stature and full chest, Fu Xuan really didn't want to say.

Cipher!

Hearing Fu Xuan's description, Derick and Castorice immediately knew who had taken the Healer Lady.

Yunli and Yanqing turned their gazes to them.

Derick immediately assured them, "After this is over, we will bring the Healer Lady back."

"Mhm." Jing Yuan nodded. "The situation on the Xianzhou is chaotic right now. It's indeed safer for Miss Cipher to take the Healer Lady away."

Derick looked at Jing Yuan's expression and felt that there was a deeper meaning to his actions.

Is he planning to do something else?

Could it be that he sent Bailu away because he has some ideas about those Vidyadhara Elders?

Come to think of it, with three generals acting together now, many things that Jing Yuan couldn't do before could possibly be done at this time.

"How is that lady named Cipher's strength? Can she protect the Healer Lady's safety?" Yanqing asked with some worry.

Feixiao spoke up at this moment.

"I have seen Cipher fight the Borisin. Her strength, I'm afraid, is not below yours, Yanqing. Especially her speed, it's even faster. Even if she can't defeat an enemy, she can still escape smoothly."

"Indeed, Cipher's speed is really fast. With her taking the Healer Lady, she can protect her," Castorice echoed Feixiao's words.

Cipher's Super Speed had not yet been revealed to everyone. Even if she really faced an enemy she couldn't deal with, she could use her extreme speed to escape.

Derick took out his phone and sent a text message to Cipher.

[Derick: If you encounter danger over there, remember to run to the Seat of Divine Foresight in time. We'll be here.]

[Cipher: Got it. I'm still busy here. I'll come find you if there's a real problem.]

Cipher pulled Bailu away from the Alchemy Commission. The Vidyadhara searching for them still hadn't decreased. Especially after she had just felt a violent tremor, the number of searchers had increased.

To escape the pursuit, Cipher had to throw away the treasures she had been carrying.

"You don't have to worry about me," Bailu said softly to Cipher.

After Bailu said this, Cipher patted her on the head.

"Don't say such nonsense. To get you out, I threw away all those precious treasures. If I don't get you out now, I'll have suffered a huge loss."

"Hey, don't pat my head."

"Hmph, you're my spoil of war. Just be good and listen to me."

While leading Bailu away, Cipher keenly sensed that this little girl beside her was not just a pitiful child kidnapped by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. She had a deeper identity.

But, the fact that she was being restricted was real. No matter what the reason was, this act of restricting a child's freedom was something Cipher didn't want to see.

The more powerful her identity, the greater my reward. As a legendary thief, I'll have even more face.

Cipher thought to herself.

Inside the Seat of Divine Foresight, Jing Yuan began to arrange the next steps of the operation with Fu Xuan. As for Derick's group, having just captured the members of the Disciples, their stamina was also quite depleted. For the sake of the battles that might still occur, Jing Yuan let them rest for a while first.

Yunli and Yanqing hadn't fought just now, so their stamina was well preserved. Jing Yuan had them go to the place where the Stellaron had erupted first, to see if there were any enemies to deal with or people who needed to be rescued.

Derick sat on a chair, pretending to rest. But without anyone around him knowing, he adjusted his vision, switching to the perspective of another clone.

Second clone's perspective.

Xianzhou Zhuming.

Ruan Mei packed up and called for Derick's second clone and Tingyun.

Huaiyan had already notified Ruan Mei when he was quietly returning to the Luofu. Ruan Mei knew the time had come, so she naturally wanted to go over and join in the fun.

And on the side, she could also see if she could get some fragments of Phantylia or the Ambrosial Arbor to facilitate her own research and experiments.

"Lady Ruan Mei, are we setting off now?" Tingyun asked her with great anticipation.

During this time, to maintain secrecy, Tingyun had been hiding in General Huaiyan's residence and couldn't go out at all. After staying here for a long time, she was also getting a little impatient. Now that Ruan Mei was leaving, she was naturally very much looking forward to it.

The sensation coming from his eyes told him that both his second and fourth clones were currently experiencing something. Derick had his second clone stand by without speaking or moving.

"Yes, we are now going to take the starskiff of the Zhuming to the Luofu," Ruan Mei nodded and said to Tingyun.

"That's really great!" Tingyun clapped her hands happily. Then, she thought of how she might have to face the Lord Ravager Phantylia, who had harmed her like this and killed many of her merchant guild companions, upon her return.

Her face was a mixture of hatred and anger.

"I want to see Phantylia's death with my own eyes."

"Don't worry. If the plan goes smoothly, you will," Ruan Mei nodded lightly. Then she walked towards the starskiff.

As she walked, she also reminded Tingyun and Derick's second clone, "You two, remember to keep up with me."

Tingyun nodded and quickly followed Ruan Mei.

Derick also operated his second clone, closely following Ruan Mei and Tingyun.

Arriving at the port of the Zhuming, the staff there had already prepared a starskiff under General Huaiyan's orders. After Ruan Mei and the others arrived, the three of them entered the starskiff. Then the starskiff quickly left the port, heading for the Xianzhou Luofu.

With the second clone on the starskiff, Derick didn't need to worry too much about managing it. He sensed that the energy fluctuations from his fourth clone's side were greater, so he immediately adjusted his perspective, switching from the second clone's view to the fourth's.

The fourth clone was in the Ambrosial Arbor. At this moment, the Stellaron erupted, and a huge amount of its energy began to rapidly enter the Arbor, causing it to undergo a revival.

Derick's perspective switched to the fourth clone, and he clearly felt the surrounding tree trunks growing violently.

It's not going to squeeze this clone of mine into a meat patty, is it?

Feeling the pressure from the surroundings, Derick thought to himself.

Derick tried his best to operate the fourth clone, gnawing at the side.

Fortunately, the situation of being squeezed into a meat patty did not occur. The Stellaron energy was transferred to the Ambrosial Arbor, and in the process of its revival and development, it treated Derick's fourth clone as a part of itself.

The energy of the Abundance was infused into Derick's fourth clone, and incidentally, it also allowed his fourth clone to grow significantly.

At this time, Derick discovered that the energy of the Abundance had this benefit. If a large amount of other energy was infused into it, his clone would definitely not be able to withstand it and would explode. Now, with the energy of the Abundance entering its body, it only increased the clone's development.

Derick's fourth clone grew and developed rapidly, and a large amount of Abundance energy was also generated within its body.

And this energy of the Abundance was also transmitted to Derick's main body through the clone. Fortunately, Derick was prepared when he was absorbing it, quietly using the energies of Death and Reason to temporarily conceal it.

"But I'll still have to find a way later to make my Abundance energy appear justifiably."

Derick thought to himself.

At this time, Derick thought of another matter.

If my body is filled with the energy of the Abundance, even if I say I'm not a Xianzhou native, probably no one will believe me.

Derick was also enjoying the delicious food.

As he was eating, his phone rang.

He opened it and found it was a message from Feixiao.

"What's wrong?" Castorice asked Derick.

Feixiao knew Derick and the others didn't have phones, so she had given each of them one when they came over. Castorice and the others also had experience using communication slates, so using a phone wasn't much of a problem.

"Teacher Feixiao told me to go to the Seat of Divine Foresight after I finish eating to pay a visit to General Jing Yuan."
