Chapter 188 : Setting Sail Again
"It seems to be over?"
Watching the slowly descending transport fleet, Lonis breathed a long sigh of relief.
Bai Ye didn't disappoint everyone's expectations and successfully became Tree Abyss's inheritor, and those researchers imprisoned in the resin hearts were also successfully rescued by everyone.
Though they looked somewhat drained and showed signs of malnutrition, because they were sent for treatment in time, there wouldn't be any life-threatening danger.
However, the challenges Dr. Okali faced would become extremely arduous.
Because Boundless Research Station was attacked by demons, many facilities were damaged, and most researchers were injured, so now Boundless Research Station had virtually no usable personnel. This could be called a catastrophic disaster, and even if Boundless Research Station disbanded directly, it would be possible.
However, Dr. Okali didn't give up. Because the Third Outpost was intact, she moved all the experimental equipment there as a temporary station.
Through hardships and struggles, Boundless Research Station suffered upheaval and probably wouldn't be able to resume normal operations for several years.
But fortunately...
New plants grew on the Boundless Lands.
This was an extremely special type of tree with pale white leaves and branch vein patterns very similar to the Tree of Causality Ruins.
According to Yi Cheng, these were all manifestations of Green Temple's power.
Though the characteristics and effects of these trees still needed scientific research to analyze, many human nations had shown great interest in the Boundless Lands.
As long as funding and equipment were injected, the revival of Boundless Research Station would be just a matter of time.
......
"Lonis, thank you."
"Eh? You don't need to thank me. I didn't do anything."
Looking at Bai Ye before her, Lonis also felt somewhat moved.
She could clearly feel that after experiencing these events, Bai Ye seemed to have become much more confident, but she still respectfully bowed her head and said:
"Really, thank you very much, Lonis. If you hadn't saved me, I probably would have fallen to my death in the wilderness long ago."
"Ah, that... that was just an accident."
"For me, it wasn't an accident, but a fishing line leading to hope. And I once made a wish to Lonis, hoping to save Dr. Okali, and Lonis helped me fulfill that wish too."
"!"
"Though I'm just a doll, I also know the principle of repaying kindness... It's just that I still need to help the doctor rebuild the research station, so I can't travel with Lonis. I can only temporarily give this to Lonis first."
"This thing... wow, it's a gem!"
Lonis received this emerald gem. When she touched its surface with her palm, she could still feel natural energy flowing on it.
Undoubtedly, this was proof of the power Tree Abyss Temple bestowed upon her.
And Green Temple's blessing was different from other temples—its blessings all grew from the ground! So it took some extra time before Lonis received this blessing.
"The weapon in this gem seems to be a whip. I hope it can help you."
"Wow, thank you Bai Ye. Um... we'll come visit you in the future too."
"Yes, by then, I'll definitely grow delicious melons and brew fresh tea to entertain Lonis and everyone."
......
......
Thus, the journey to the Boundless Lands came to an end.
Originally, Lonis and Elucia had just come to carry out a transport mission... But fate was uncertain, and having successfully resolved the research station dispute, they naturally received rewards from the school.
"Mm... I will represent the school and Clear Temple in bestowing the title of excellent student upon Lonis and Elucia. At the same time, you also have the qualification to enter Clear Temple and receive the temple's blessing."
"Hmph, who cares? Yi Cheng, you didn't come find us just to say this, did you?"
Elucia crossed her arms, looking very dissatisfied with Yi Cheng's thanks.
"Clear Academy operates on voluntary and fair principles. If you two don't want the temple's blessing, you can also transfer it to others..."
"Are you done with the pleasantries?"
"I'm done."
"Mm, then let's talk business. What does the school say?"
"The school has already agreed to both students' application to leave school. No matter how much time passes, you'll be given the qualification to retain your student status."
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Elucia snorted coldly, her expression softening slightly: "Then what about the scholarship and teaching subsidy I applied for? This time, to protect your transport, my magic ship was damaged. I should be given some repair fees, right?"
"Very sorry, the approval hasn't come through yet."
"Hah?"
"To be precise, this quarter's emergency funding has all been allocated to Boundless Research Station's reconstruction. Currently the school has no funds to fulfill Elucia's application."
"What the hell!!"
Hearing Yi Cheng say this, Elucia's eyes widened: "Do you know what's urgent and what's not? What I need to do is stop the Trickster Demon Lord's resurrection. Without money, how do you expect me to do it?"
"Hah, very sorry, Elucia. But in fact the school really has no money, so we can only use the old method."
"Old method?"
"Yes, I can work for Master Elucia for free without any compensation. Of course, if you feel Lonis's body can't handle it, having me replace her in being toyed with is also fine."
......
"Senior Yi Cheng, you don't need to demean yourself like this!"
Lonis blushed. Actually she knew... with Yi Cheng's keen observation, whether it was the secret of the little toy on her body or the strange things she did with Elucia at night, everything had probably been seen through.
Yi Cheng knew she was being bullied all the time, so she came to help her. Though she was grateful for senpai's feelings, if things really turned out that way, it would be somewhat weird.
However, Elucia just frowned and said:
"Hmph, Senior Yi Cheng's reaction is so bland. I don't want to toy with you."
"Mysteriously, I was praised?"
"Besides, Senior Yi Cheng, aren't you an inheritor? Our mission is originally to stop the demon lords' resurrection. Even if the school doesn't assign you tasks, you should come help me."
"That's correct, but in fact, though the school doesn't have direct funding for Elucia, they've agreed to lend the Time Shuttle to Captain Elucia."
"What?!"
"And your current magic ship can also be installed as a lifeboat on the Time Shuttle."
......
......
Before Yi Cheng finished speaking, a golden magic ship slowly appeared in the eastern sky.
The second volume will have much more lewdness~
There's also pet play~~~
