Honkai Star Rail: But I can touch Castorice
Chapter 200: Feixiao Returns to Luofu, Derick's Reward (Bonus Chapter)
"To handle them separately your courage is truly not small."
Hearing Derick's idea, Feixiao pondered for a moment before speaking to him.
In the eyes of the Xianzhou Alliance, the Borisin have always deserved to die. Now that Derick said he wanted to bring a portion of the Borisin under his command and make them his aid, Feixiao felt that doing so would inevitably lead to deeper conflicts with the conservative faction of the Xianzhou Alliance.
"Then, Teacher, do you think what I'm doing is right or wrong?" Derick countered Feixiao.
"Of course it's right. If you become the War Chief, we might even have the chance to completely resolve the Borisin problem. A portion of the Borisin can be used by us, while the majority of the Borisin should be killed. Derick, don't think that most Borisin are good people; in reality, most are utterly evil."
Feixiao's meaning was clear: the Borisin weren't entirely unusable, but the vast majority who committed heinous acts needed to be eliminated. Feixiao was concerned Derick wasn't fully aware of the Borisin's true nature, so she reminded him.
"Teacher, I know the situation with the Borisin. I won't be soft-hearted towards those among them who commit evil acts," Derick firmly promised.
"That's right." Feixiao nodded in satisfaction, then continued: "Alright, in two days, I'll come to the Lofu Xianzhou to discuss this matter with you. Also, remember to tell General Jing Yuan about the situation here."
There are so many Borisin; the Yaoqing Xianzhou alone cannot handle them. We still need to involve the Cloud Knights of the Lofu Xianzhou; only with both Xianzhou working together can we manage this.
"Okay, I will." Derick nodded.
Jing Yuan had just exchanged glances with him; if he didn't inform Jing Yuan about the situation here, Jing Yuan would definitely investigate it later. Rather than being discovered through an investigation and affecting their plans, it was better to be upfront from the beginning.
"As for the rest, we'll discuss it when I come to the Lofu Xianzhou." Feixiao said to Derick. As she spoke, she continued to Derick in a teasing tone: "Also, make sure you exercise well these next few days. When I get there, I'll definitely have to give your body a thorough inspection."
"Is that what you call a proper inspection?" Derick secretly thought to himself.
"Alright, but don't overwork yourself, Teacher; your physical condition might not hold up." He said, a hint of defiance in his voice.
"Hmph, then let's see!"
Feixiao's eyebrows arched, and she was about to hang up the communication. However, just as she was about to hang up, Feixiao remembered something and stopped, saying to Derick: "Oh, by the way, I also managed to snatch your reward from those old geezers amidst their arguments."
"What reward?" Derick was still very much looking forward to this reward.
"It's nothing much, just promoting your military rank to Cone-Feather Guard Commander, putting you in charge of the most elite unit of the Qingqiu Army on the Yaoqing Xianzhou. Of course, if you don't want to go, you can always hand over the specific duties to the Deputy Commander to execute."
"Who is the Deputy Commander?" Derick asked curiously.
"I just issued the appointment today; it's Sushang, whom you've met once before." Feixiao replied to Derick.
Derick remembered Sushang's expression when she saw him before.
"If you show that expression again, I might have to tell you: 'Sushang, you wouldn't want your mother to be ostracized under my command, would you?'"
Thinking this, Derick quickly shook his head inwardly.
He was from Huaxia before transmigration, then came to Amphoreus after transmigrating, and now he was on the Lofu Xianzhou; he couldn't have such Edo Star ideas.
Feixiao hadn't finished speaking. She continued: "Besides that, the Elders also granted you millions of li of land on the Yaoqing Xianzhou and some shops as your feudal territory."
"How much?!" Derick's expression was shocked.
This area was larger than most countries in his previous life.
"Millions of li, well, it's actually a bit small. I originally asked for ten million li, but those old geezers refused stubbornly." Feixiao still looked a bit embarrassed.
"That's a lot, really a lot," Derick thought to himself. "As expected of a great interstellar civilization, such an area is considered nothing. After all, millions of li here isn't millions of li on some barren planet; it's a genuine developed area on the Xianzhou."
Derick was already very content.
With this, he had gone from being dirt poor to a great landlord.
Actually, at first, those old geezers only intended to give Derick the position of Cone-Feather Guard Commander. The later rewards were all fought for by Feixiao. For this, she even bothered Marshal Hua for several days.
But Feixiao wouldn't tell Derick about these things.
After hanging up the communication, Feixiao immediately called over Jiaoqiu.
"General, do you have any orders?" Jiaoqiu asked Feixiao.
"Come, help me formulate a plan. We're going to collectively deal with the Borisin."
"Huh?!" Jiaoqiu looked at Feixiao.
He suspected Feixiao's condition had worsened.
After Derick hung up the communication, he went to the Seat of Divine Foresight to find General Jing Yuan.
He told Jing Yuan everything that had happened last night and his conversation with Feixiao.
"The Borisin want you to be their War Chief?" Jing Yuan lightly tapped the table, an expression of thought on his face.
"General Jing Yuan, what is your opinion on this?" Derick asked Jing Yuan.
Facing Derick's question, Jing Yuan pondered again for a moment, then said to him: "There isn't much wrong with your idea on this matter. However, before heading to the Borisin tribe, you need to undergo a test."
"General, what kind of test?" Derick asked.
"I want to see if you can withstand the sensation of devouring flesh and blood like the Borisin," Jing Yuan said seriously. "The sensation of pleasure obtained by those with Abundance power from devouring flesh and blood is unimaginable. I cannot guarantee that you will be able to maintain self-control when faced with that sensation. If you fail, you will only become the next one to succumb. It would be bad for both you and the Xianzhou Alliance."
"I understand, I will do this test." Derick nodded, accepting.
Jing Yuan pondered for a moment, then dialed a communication image.
In the image, his teacher Jingliu appeared.
"Jing Yuan, why are you contacting me?" Jingliu asked Jing Yuan.
"Teacher, I'm looking for your help with something," Jing Yuan quickly told Jingliu everything that had happened here.
After listening to Jing Yuan, Jingliu understood his intentions.
"So, you want me to accompany Derick during the test, and if Derick truly cannot bear it, I'll release my sword qi to stimulate him, helping him break free from the temptation of flesh and blood, is that right?"
Jingliu said to Jing Yuan.
Jingliu's sword intent was filled with destructive coldness; if Derick were to become addicted, this stimulation could make him sober up and break free from that sensation. The feeling would be like adding pepper powder to a smoker's cigarette.
"Not just during the test. If possible, I hope, Teacher, you can accompany Derick to the Borisin's lair. With you there, I can rest assured that Derick will remain calm at all times," Jing Yuan said to Jingliu.
Ever since returning from the Lofu Xianzhou, the General hasn't had an 'episode'. Now it seems, it wasn't an improvement, but rather building up to something bigger.
"Oh, is that so? But my appearance is highly rejected by the Borisin."
"We can disguise you for that. Cipher's ability, whom I have with me, can help you, Miss Jingliu, achieve a perfect disguise," Derick added from the side.
Jing Yuan's concern was understandable. Derick himself was open-hearted, and Jingliu's presence would simply be to help him.
"If you can do that, then I will accompany you on this journey."
"Alright then, Miss Jingliu, it's settled."
A few days later, Derick arrived at the Cloudford Docking Point to welcome Feixiao and the others.
Regarding the Borisin matter, Derick had also discussed it with Castorice, Cipher, Hyacine, and others. Cipher was very supportive of this kind of 'trouble-making'. And Castorice, hearing that obedient Borisin could be taken to Amphoreus for support, was also very supportive.
On Moldu's side, Derick was still stalling. Moldu also knew Derick needed to think, so he wasn't in a hurry.
While Derick was thinking, a starship landed, and Feixiao and the others disembarked.
"Teacher, I've come to pick you up," Derick said to Feixiao.
Seeing Derick, Feixiao's eyes lit up. She quickly walked to his side and looped her arm around his. His sturdy chest and Derick's cheek pressed tightly together.
"Come on, let me see how much your combat power has improved during this time!"
Feixiao eagerly pulled Derick away.
Jiaoqiu and Moze exchanged glances.
"This Derick was truly favored by the General; as soon as he stepped off the starship, he was eager to test his strength."
These two, however, had no idea what Feixiao and Derick were truly 'testing'.
