And so...

Thanks to Bochang's efforts...

Stelle finally dismissed the risky idea of getting pregnant, no longer consumed by thoughts of having a child.

Bochang's gaze fell deep into the majestic valley before him.

With Stelle clad in a white bathrobe, pressed against his chest, the view was absolutely breathtaking—every angle revealing a different allure.

In a momentary daze,

before Bochang could make a move, Stelle forcefully pushed him down and initiated a passionate kiss.

Having recently explored intimate gestures as couples often do,

Stelle was incredibly curious and found immense comfort in these actions, unwilling to let go.

She had become very clingy towards Bochang, which was indeed a good sign.

The two shared tender moments together for some time.

Eventually, they got dressed again. Uninhibited, Stelle changed openly in front of Bochang, providing quite an eye feast.

Naturally, their intimacy led to playful gestures.

After leaving Stelle breathless...

Bochang finally stopped, feeling thoroughly satisfied.

For the afternoon, Bochang had planned to play games with Stelle, have dinner, and wait for the others' return. However...

They barely managed to engage in any gaming before receiving an unexpected message from Silver Wolf.

He informed Bochang that Cang had located Phantylia's coordinates and requested him to bring Stelle along, aiming to trigger her awakening of the Destiny of Protection fate path.

Lord Ravager had not yet departed Xianzhou Luofu.

This news struck Bochang like a bolt out of the blue.

After a moment of contemplation, he replied:

"Even if weakened, Phantylia would still be formidable... Rushing into battle with her could undoubtedly cause chaos on Xianzhou Luofu again."

Silver Wolf reassured him: "Don't worry. During the fight, I'll pull you both into an otherworldly space, ensuring no impact on Xianzhou Luofu."

Bochang: So what exactly should I do?

Silver Wolf: Pretend to be defeated by Phantylia, and Stelle's Destiny of Protection will awaken.

Bochang: How can I pretend? She is Lord Ravager herself; I only have confidence to defeat her by giving my all... And now you want me to feign defeat against Phantylia? What if it turns out real?

Silver Wolf: The Stellaron Hunter will assist you. Besides, she is currently weakened, so it should be manageable. Remember, do not kill Phantylia; she has future significance.

Bochang: Oh...I see. Don't worry, I won't kill Phantylia.

Bochang: Wait...what do you mean by 'do not kill'?

Bochang: Since when did I possess the ability to kill Phantylia?

Lord Ravager was notoriously difficult to kill.

Having effortlessly escaped even under the combined assault of two Emanators, Bochang doubted his own ability to slay such an adversary.

Silver Wolf: Don't ask me; just know that Elio mentioned you possess a power capable of killing Phantylia. So I'm reminding you—be careful not to accidentally take her out.

Bochang remained silent, momentarily at a loss for words.

After further discussion, they finalized their plan.

Meanwhile, the gray-haired girl continued playing her game.

"Stelle," said Bochang, "why don't we go out for a stroll?"

"You sure?" Stelle paused her gameplay and looked up, feeling somewhat puzzled. Just moments ago, he had suggested staying home to play during the afternoon.

Bochang nodded. "Yes..."

"All right, let's follow your lead."

Stelle did not hesitate to agree.

And so...

the pair headed straight towards the Artisanship Commission.

Currently, Xianzhou Luofu still imposed restrictions on star ferry travel.

However...

for individuals like Bochang among The Nameless, the Cloud Knights would readily grant passage without significant interference.

Aboard the star ferry, they found themselves piloted by an unfamiliar cloud knight.

Bochang and Stelle sat quietly at the back, gazing out at the undulating sea of clouds.

It was rumored that Phantylia had taken refuge within the Artisanship Commission, using the remnants of the Tree of Foundation's power, along with energy from the Grand Furnace, to recuperate. Apparently, she had recovered significantly from her injuries sustained during battles with Herta and Jing Yuan.

"Here we are at the Artisanship Commission..." Bochang murmured as he disembarked from the star ferry alongside Stelle.

The Artisanship Commission was adjacent to the Alchemy Commission. During the resurgence of the Tree of Foundation, this area suffered severe corrosion. It was said that the tree's roots even burst forth directly from beneath the ground.

As Bochang surveyed the surroundings, he indeed noticed numerous traces of damage—houses torn apart, earth split open—but compared to the devastation caused by Phantylia's Profound Root Transformation, it paled in comparison.

Recalling...

Phantylia's Profound Root Transformation left a profound impression. Countless vines had overturned everything within a hundred-mile radius.

Such power would be incredibly efficient for plowing fields, capable of turning even the deepest soil.

"Wait... why am I suddenly thinking about farming?" Bochang scratched his head.

"What's on your mind?" Stelle asked.

"I was just considering... what we should buy later," Bochang replied with a slight smile.

The Artisanship Commission specialized in intricate mechanical creations. The Diting device itself had originated from here.

Bochang had mentioned to Stelle that he wanted to explore the Artisanship Commission's mechanical wonders, leading them both to this location.

Hand in hand, they strolled leisurely through the area.

The Stellaron Hunters could only confirm Phantylia's presence within the Artisanship Commission but not her exact whereabouts. Silver Wolf advised Bochang to simply wander around with Stelle until the opportune moment arrived, at which point Lord Ravager would undoubtedly seek them out himself.

Speaking of the Stellaron Hunters...

While Bochang approached them with a cooperative mindset, he knew better than to trust them completely. It was crucial to remain cautious.

Following their instructions, Bochang sought out Phantylia for several reasons:

First, to aid Stelle's awakening of celestial destinies. Second, as an opportunity to search for Ting Yun. Third, because Phantylia seemed within reach of defeat by their combined efforts. Fourth, due to her weakened state, it presented a prime chance to strike while she was vulnerable.

Firstly, to aid Stelle in awakening her fate path. Secondly, to locate Tingyun through this opportunity. Thirdly, Phantylia was an Emanator they believed they could potentially defeat. Fourthly, with Phantylia weakened, it presented an ideal chance to strike while she was vulnerable.

In the aftermath of the disaster at the Artisanship Commission, many individuals were engaged in reconstruction efforts. As skilled artisans themselves, they had ample experience in such tasks.

Of course...

The primary reason for their readiness was that the Artisanship Commission frequently caused troubles, whether by teleporting entire pavilions or dealing with mechanical golem uprisings.

Bochang watched them proficiently carrying out post-disaster rebuilding, unsure how to react.

Holding Bochang's hand, Stelle led the way, curiously observing everything around the Artisanship Commission.

Meanwhile...

Seated on an ergonomic chair, Silver Wolf observed the screens, biting his thumb and muttered, "This guy..."

Just yesterday, Bochang took the hacker girl's first kiss.

Today, he stole Stelle's first kiss as well.

Witnessing this scene, Silver Wolf couldn't feel anything but displeasure. He desperately wanted to leap out and slap some sense into Bochang.

Suddenly, memories from that night resurfaced, causing Silver Wolf's cheeks to flush again.

"Dmn... Dmn... D*mn!" he cursed silently.

On the other side, Bochang couldn't help but sneeze.

"Are you catching a cold?" asked Stelle.

"Maybe someone is cursing me," Bochang replied self-consciously.

Stelle blinked. "It wasn't me."

"I know it wasn't you."

After wandering around the Artisanship Commission for a while...

The system's voice chimed in.
