"Hasn't the planetary barrier already been opened? Where did these three spiritual cultivators come from?"
Wang Jixuan found it hard not to suspect that He Ruli had deceived them.
"This..."
Mu Dan was also unsure, her small face showing a thoughtful expression, mumbling:
"Isn't the explanation of this beyond us, we these little Kalamis civilization... completely in the dark and kicking our legs."
Wang Jixuan gently patted the back of his neck, thinking carefully.
Before he could speculate wildly, a few beams of light flashed back and forth nearby, and He Ruli's projection appeared.
She slightly bowed to Wang Jixuan as a sign of respect, and said straightforwardly:
"Indeed, the planetary barrier has been activated, I swear on the honor of my civilization."
Wang Jixuan gave an awkward smile.
A civilization that's now just ruins and heritage.
"Come over and talk."
Wang Jixuan's smile contained a hint of coldness:
"Why didn't you open fire then?
"When I suppressed them, if the cannons on the city wall had fired a round, they would have inevitably lost one or two.
"What's the matter, Guardian still dreaming of hedging bets on both sides?"
He Ruli didn't evade: "Our positions are somewhat different, Great Pioneer."
"Different?"
"Yes," He Ruli said, "My goal is to revive the civilization, your goal is your own ascension, and the survival and growth of surface human civilization. The misalignment in goals means we can only align interests on some issues."
Wang Jixuan quite liked her straightforwardness.
The Daoist nodded, smiled: "Placing half the hope of civilization revival on these spiritual cultivators, is that revived civilization still the Yina?"
"It's not about hoping they'll inherit the Yina civilization's spirit."
He Ruli sighed, and the projection knelt on the cushion in front of Wang Jixuan.
The cushion showed a slight sinking feeling.
As if this projection had weight.
She said softly: "I just want to create a relatively stable growth environment for the genetic continuation of you and Gao Huating, and until now, you haven't provided reproductive cells."
Wang Jixuan pointed to his forehead: "My mental state hasn't recovered, this affects cell quality."
"Oh," He Ruli was momentarily at a loss for what to say.
She frowned, pursed her lips and stared at Wang Jixuan, who looked indifferent and unconcerned, as if deeply aggrieved.
Mu Dan quietly asked beside her: "Regarding the revival of your civilization, would you consider mechanical bodies?"
"No consideration."
"Alright," Mu Dan mumbled softly, "but we mechanical bodies know what loyalty and sincerity are, exchanging true heart for true heart, alas the bright moon shines on the ditch."
Wang Jixuan:...
She's even reciting poetry!
He Ruli sighed: "Great Pioneer, how do you plan to deal with their upcoming challenges?"
"Enhancing my strength as much as possible, what else can I do?"
Wang Jixuan said, smiling:
"In that case, why don't we make a pragmatic exchange.
"I will call Gao Huating over later. When I dual cultivate with Amina, let Gao Huating start cultivating as well. I'll treat Xiao Huating with the attitude of a direct disciple; you surely know the friendship between her and me.
"And in exchange, you find a way to protect the surface civilization.
"Given my current Dao heart's influence, I'm not very concerned with most people's life or death, but I do care about my friends and the causes they've fought for.
"Can you do it?"
He Ruli pondered seriously.
Mu Dan was stunned with shock.
What did she hear?
The Commander is going to dual cultivate with Amina!
That's fine, they're two extraordinary beings, not bound by human societal ethics, and Amina has obviously been interested in the Commander for a while, waiting for Commander Lingtong to die of old age before taking the position.
The point is, the Commander is going to dual cultivate with Amina, and wants Gao Huating to observe!
What a new form of play is this!
Is it that exciting?
What exactly did the Commander learn from the Stone of the Past... The Commander's second life was called Three Realms Wanderer, truly... not famous for nothing.
Wang Jixuan glanced at Xiao Mudan, who couldn't control her expression, and glared at her fiercely.
Although not knowing what Mu Dan was imagining, judging by her expression, it surely wasn't anything good.
He Ruli said softly: "I can send four technical puppet advisors. This is my limit; once you leave Cloud City, here, the combat power will lose its operational permissions unless you or Xiao Huating take control of this city again, unlocking all permissions... I was in the Rebel Army back then, and didn't obtain complete permissions."
"Alright," Wang Jixuan nodded, "originally I was to instruct Xiao Huating to start cultivating anyway, just wanted to set a condition for you, have Xiao Huating go find Amina, and come to me when they're ready."
"As you wish."
He Ruli obediently bowed to express respect, her figure flashing and disappearing.
Mu Dan mumbled softly: "Commander, ever since I came here, I've been very cautious with my words, and yet you provoke her directly."
"Spoiled her," Wang Jixuan said with a stern face, "I'm already holding back a lot by not tearing her apart! Hedging on both sides, playing both sides, this opportunistic behavior dares to be brazen in front of me, if it weren't for me! Forget it, the brave don't talk about the past, go get me some supplies, I want to eat heartily and enjoy."
Mu Dan blinked: "Are you really going to dual cultivate with Amina in Xiao Huating's presence?"
"Not possible?"
"Possible, very possible."
Mu Dan gave a thumbs up:
"Need a maid to warm the bed? The kind that pushes from behind."
"Go to hell."
Master Wang couldn't hold it anymore either.
