Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

When I returned, Sai Fei'er and Feng Jin were having a late-night snack.

Upon seeing the two people, Sai Feier looked at Bai Yuan and the others with a slightly resentful gaze.

"So, you two actually know how to come back!"

After looking at it with a resentful gaze, she pointed to the late-night snack.

"Perfect timing, the food has just been served, let's all eat together."

At this moment, Xia Die rubbed her stomach and immediately shook her head, saying, "Never mind, never mind, I'm not hungry, I don't need to eat anything."

Her stomach was full, and she really couldn't eat anything right now.

"Have you eaten out?"

Saifei looked at Xia Die with a puzzled expression.

The face of the woman blushed even more, and she quickly hid behind Bai Yuan.

"Yes, I ate out earlier. But I'm still a little hungry and need to eat something."

Bai Yuan quickly ate his food.

While eating, he asked Saifeier, "By the way, how's the situation on your end? Has Scott chosen to give in?"

"With me taking care of things, what are you worried about?" Sai Fei'er patted her firm chest, assuring Bai Yuan.

Chapter 150 Scott: I'm a genius! [Second update]

"Well, I believe you."

Bai Yuan had a lot of confidence in Sai Fei'er's abilities. Back then, she even deceived herself, so tricking Scott now would be quite easy for her.

“The next step is to get him to collude with the people who have inherited the secrets of the Medicine King.” Sai Fei’er’s eyes showed excitement.

In all that time, aside from stretching her body a little and dealing with a few small fry from the Outer Realm, she did nothing else. Fighting and killing were not things she enjoyed doing.

She's now using lies to trick Scott, and then using him to contact the Medicine King's secret techniques. This kind of thing excites her more than simply killing people.

"Incidentally, I can also play the role of a phantom thief. The Medicine King's Secret Sect has grown into such a large organization on the Luofu Immortal Ship, so its power must be considerable. With such power, it must have a lot of money and such. By the time we take down the Medicine King's Secret Sect, that wealth will be ownerless..."

As Sai Fei'er pondered those thoughts, a cunning smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

Among the late-night snacks was a bowl of fish soup, the milky white broth thick and creamy. Feng Jin saw Xia Die sitting next to Bai Yuan saying she was full, and sensing that she might not have an appetite, she served her a bowl of fish soup.

"If you don't have an appetite, having some soup before bed is a good idea," Feng Jin said to Xia Die.

When Xia Die saw the fish soup, her throat moved slightly, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Suppressing the urge to vomit, Xia Die whispered to Feng Jin, "Um, I don't want to drink fish soup for now."

Feng Jin was puzzled, and Bai Yuan looked slightly embarrassed. At that moment, Sai Feier clapped her hands forcefully.

"I see!"

"What do you know?!" Feng Jin looked at Sai Feier. Bai Yuan and Xia Die's faces instantly turned red, and they both lowered their heads.

"It must be that Yuanzi and Xiadie are having a child! That's why I feel nauseous."

"..."

"..."

"From now on, you should read fewer fantasy novels," Bai Yuan said through gritted teeth.

I really thought she figured it out for something, but it turns out this is what she figured out!

Fortunately, fortunately...

"We're going to rest." Bai Yuan hurriedly ate a couple of bites and then prepared to go to his room with Xia Die to rest.

Watching the two of them leave, Sai Feier looked at herself in confusion.

"Did I say something wrong? Is it that Xia Die isn't carrying Bai Yuan's child?" she muttered to herself.

No, of course not!

Bai Yuan and Xia Die thought firmly to themselves.

However, Bai Yuan's expression then changed slightly.

Actually, Sai Fei'er might not be wrong, it's just that the part she was thinking of was slightly different.

Bai Yuan and Xia Die walked into the corridor. Xia Die whispered to Bai Yuan, "Bai Yuan, about the child..."

I hadn't thought about this before, but now that Sai Feier brought it up, Xia Die actually started to think about that situation.

"We can only leave this to fate. After all, our life structure is far beyond that of ordinary people, so the possibility of us having offspring is much smaller."

In the biological world, the more advanced and powerful a species is, the lower its reproductive rate tends to be in order to maintain balance. For example, the lifespan of the Immortal Boat people is several hundred years before the Demon Yin's appearance. And in those several hundred years of life, the number of offspring they have is roughly the same as the lifespan of a short-lived human, which is only a few decades. This is the reproductive restriction imposed on the Immortal Boat people for the sake of balance.

Bai Yuan's body is stronger and more peculiar than that of the Immortal Boat people, making his chances of having offspring even smaller.

The physical structure of the butterflies is also complex, making it extremely difficult for them to conceive offspring.

"Besides, I'm only fourteen or fifteen years old. Becoming a father at this age is still a bit too early."

"Mm." Xia Die nodded gently.

However, in her heart, Xia Die did feel a little bit of anticipation.

Bai Yuan didn't say anything, but she was worried that she and Bai Yuan might have children too early. Now that she heard that Bai Yuan and she were having difficulty conceiving, she actually wanted to try more.

If you don't try now, what if you never get pregnant in the future?

There needs to be some groundwork laid in the early stages.

……

In the days that followed, to avoid making Huanlong too nervous, Huaiyan and Feixiao left one after another under the pretext that Zhuming Immortal Boat and Yaoqing Immortal Boat had something to do, saying that they would come back to pick up the two students after the matter was over.

The departure of these two generals did not affect the competition between Bai Yuan, Yan Qing, and Yun Li.

Yan Qing was the most diligent. Being a local of Luofu Immortal Ship, he was very familiar with his surroundings, so he adopted a 24/7 capture mode. He only rested briefly when he was slightly tired. However, he actually had the least information, and his diligence didn't yield as good results as Yun Li's group.

Yun Li had Qing Que's help; under Qing Que's divination, Yun Li could precisely target the Medicine King's secret techniques. Logically, she should have been able to create a significant gap between herself and the other two. Unfortunately, Qing Que was the type who would rather slack off than work, and overtime was something she absolutely refused to do. Therefore, Yun Li only had eight hours of capture time each day.

As for Bai Yuan, although he suspected that Ni Liuyi might have other ideas, he didn't come away empty-handed. Huanlong also unintentionally led Bai Yuan to discover traces of the Medicine King's secret teachings, resulting in quite a few gains.

As for the deaths and injuries caused by the Medicine King's secret teachings?

This matter never concerned Huanlong.

Whether you live or die is none of my business.

Let alone the secrets of the Medicine King, even if Huanlong were to drag out her antimatter army to their deaths, Huanlong wouldn't feel any pity.

Therefore, Bai Yuan's progress is not too far behind that of Yan Qing and Yun Li.

Meanwhile, Bai Yuan continued to manipulate his fourth clone to gnaw at the Jianmu tree. Infected by the energy of the star core, the Jianmu's trunk was accumulating more and more energy. As Bai Yuan's fourth clone continued to gnaw, the benefits it gained increased exponentially.

This was only because Bai Yuan slowed down the speed to prevent his fourth clone from absorbing too much energy and exploding.

While absorbing the nutrients, the fourth clone was also eavesdropping on the conversations of those who passed on the secret teachings of the Medicine King.

Hearing them say that the situation was becoming increasingly urgent, and that Yan Qing and Yun Li were intensifying their efforts to capture them, and that the star core was still not ready to be activated, Bai Yuan became increasingly certain that the success rate of his plan was increasing.

Those who possess the secrets of the Medicine King should be worried.

……

Scott walked shivering as he approached the Dan Ding Si.

"Damn it, if I hadn't been poisoned, I would never have come to this place again!"

He muttered a complaint under his breath.

"What do I have to do with this person who is a disciple of the Medicine King?"

Ordered to come to the Dan Ding Si to find information about the Medicine King's secret teachings, Scott reluctantly came to do as Sai Fei'er ordered.

Not long after he left the message, Scott saw several people dressed as physicians from the Dan Ding Si (a medical institution) approaching.

Looking at these people, Scott recalled the scene when he was thrown out when he went to the Dragon Girl with the Medicine.

"What are you doing?! I'm warning you, don't come any closer!" Scott shouted quickly.

One of them glanced at him dismissively and said, "Weren't you the one who came looking for us? Why are you scared now that we're here?"

what? !

Scott was taken aback at first, then immediately realized what was happening. He looked at the group and said arrogantly, "So you're from the Medicine King's secret lineage! Where is your leader? I'm here to seek your cooperation."

As he said this, he deliberately raised his head and glanced at the members of the Medicine King's secret lineage out of the corner of his eye.

Several members of the Medicine King's secret lineage clenched their fists.

Seeing their clenched fists, Scott said to them, "I'm telling you, I'm a member of the Interstellar Peace Corporation. You can't lay a hand on me! Besides, I'm here to help you escape."

Scott's first half of his statement was meaningless to the members of the Medicine King's Secret Sect, but his second half was effective. These members of the Medicine King's Secret Sect had been relentlessly pursued by Yun Liyanqing, and now that they were offered a chance to escape, they were genuinely tempted.

“What makes you think you can take us away?” one of them asked Scott.

“I’m a member of the Interstellar Peace Company. The Immortal Ship Alliance always needs to do business, right? They’ve been detaining me for almost half a month. If they continue to detain me, they really won’t be able to do business anymore. Besides, we’ve been here for so long, and we’ve already proven everything we needed to, so they will definitely let us go.”

Scott was very proud of his position as a member of his company.

Several disciples of the Medicine King's secret lineage found this explanation reasonable. If something truly serious were to happen, even if you were detained for half a month, let alone half a month, you wouldn't be able to voice any grievances. But nothing has happened yet, right? Such detention could indeed easily lead to disputes.

"Yes, your reasoning is somewhat plausible. Then why did you choose to help us, the inheritors of the Medicine King's secrets, leave? You're helping us leave, but you won't get any benefit from it."

"What do you mean there's absolutely no benefit!" Upon hearing this secret teaching from the Medicine King, Scott jumped up anxiously.

The biggest benefit is that he survived.

Of course, he wouldn't say these things to these people who shared the secrets of the Medicine King. Scott put his hands in his pockets and held his head even higher.

"You guys clearly don't know anything. Business warfare, do you understand what business warfare is? If we take you out here, our company will have many plans to wage business wars against Immortal Boat in the future. For example, you are all from the Pill Cauldron Division, right? If you hand over some pill formulas to us, our company can immediately mass-produce them and directly cause the decline of Immortal Boat's pharmaceutical industry."

Scott's tone implied that he was treating all those who possessed the secret teachings of the Medicine King as idiots.

The secret recipe passed down by the Medicine King is so popular it makes my teeth itch.

However, seeing that this was currently their only way to escape, they held back. One of the members of the Medicine King's Secret Sect went to contact his superior. It didn't take long for this member to return.

"Alright, our leader has agreed to see you. Come with us."

Scott nodded in satisfaction: "That's decent enough. Let's go, you lead the way."

He swaggered behind these members of the Medicine King's secret lineage, displaying extreme arrogance. The members of the Medicine King's secret lineage all wanted to kill him.

Scott was not afraid at all.

They soon arrived at a pavilion in the Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司). Inside the pavilion sat a blind woman.

The "leader" of the Medicine King's secret lineage greeted her.

"What?! The leader of your Medicine King's Secret Teachings is actually a blind man like this?" Scott exclaimed in surprise.

The person who had received the secret teachings of the Medicine King glared at him angrily.

Dan Shu waved his hand, his face showing no concern whatsoever.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. But I don't think my personal issues will affect our cooperation, right?"

"Of course, of course."

Scott was genuinely worried that his attitude would cause the cooperation between the two sides to fail, which would cost him his life! So when Dan Shu said he didn't care, he quickly nodded in agreement.

The two sides exchanged ideas on cooperation.

Scott repeated what he had just said to Dan Shu.

After hearing him say that, Dan Shu nodded seriously.

"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Scott, and for the help from Interstellar Peace Corporation. May the Compassionate Medicine King protect you."

If your so-called Abundant Star God really protects me, then could you please remove the poison from my body?

Scott muttered to himself, but outwardly he nodded and asked Dan Shu, "So, you agree to our cooperation?"

Dan Shu nodded: "Of course, our Medicine King's secret teachings will be entirely in your hands, Mr. Scott, once we leave this immortal ship."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Scott nodded happily.

Afterward, they discussed some specific operational details. Only after explaining the evacuation arrangements did Scott leave.
