Chapter 1302

Upon learning that Senior Brother Jes would come to Silver Radiance Star, Xu Jingming finally sighed in relief.

When he exited the virtual universe, Princess Emily was already standing before him.

Through her account, Xu Jingming finally understood the full story.

Originally, two years ago, she had noticed something strange about her father.

But she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

Until a month ago, by chance, she discovered the true forms of the Twin Demons.

Only then did she realize her father had long been dead, replaced by these Twin Demons.

She immediately issued a demon race mission through the Noah Empire.

And continued studying and living as if nothing had happened.

But she never expected that demons had also infiltrated Silver Radiance Academy.

Fortunately, she had a space-type artifact and survived, eventually waiting to be rescued.

"Thank you, my lords, for coming to our aid.

Without you, Silver Radiance Star would have been utterly corrupted.

This great debt, I, Emily, have no way to repay."

Tears still streaked Emily's face.

"It's all due to Master Xu's efforts—we merely benefited from his glory."

Bella and the others quickly waved their hands, daring not to claim any credit.

"It's everyone's effort, nothing special."

Xu Jingming, however, paid no mind to this, and asked Emily curiously:

"Are there any remaining demons on your Silver Radiance Star?"

"I don't know the exact number of demons.

But these Twin Demons have been lurking on Silver Radiance Star for two years.

Besides Silver Radiance City, other parts of our planet likely harbor more demons."

Though unsure why Xu Jingming asked this, Emily answered truthfully.

"Good, leave this group of demons to us to clean up."

Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, quickly saying.

The Universe Talent War is about to begin; before then, he must elevate his strength to its peak.

The more Source Points, the better.

"No, no need to trouble my lords.

The remaining ones are likely Starlight-class demons—let the Empire's patrol guard units handle them."

Emily hurriedly said upon seeing this.

In her view, Starlight-class experts were lofty figures.

Especially this Master Xu Jingming.

He had slain a Starlight-4 expert while only at Starlight-9!

Such a prodigy, she had only ever seen in the virtual universe.

She dared not let such a prodigy waste time on this.

"No, let our Sacred Place handle the cleanup."

Xu Jingming spoke solemnly, "Silver Radiance Star is under my care; Bella, you may return."

He could not abandon so many Source Points.

"Huh?"

Bella and the two from Sirius were still dazed.

Cleanup work like this is often troublesome.

Spending several months—or even half a year—is very common.

They had already prepared to stay.

Yet Xu Jingming told them to leave.

"What? Any problem? Emily, have their missions been submitted?"

As soon as Xu Jingming spoke, Emily hurriedly replied:

"Report, Master Xu, I have confirmed the completion of your and Bella's missions—the rewards should be issued soon."

Bella and the others also realized, quickly shaking their heads: "No problem, no problem—we leave the rest to Master Xu."

Their attitude was utterly respectful.

Especially Bella of the Eternal Star Alliance, who showed profound reverence.

Because she knew that with Xu Jingming's strength,

He would surely stun the Universe Talent War.

Joining the Eternal Star Alliance as a core member was certain.

Then, dealing with a peripheral member like her would be effortless.

Soon, Bella and the two from Sirius left with deep respect.

This made Ye Lan feel a pang of reflection.

For the first time, she saw a Starlight-class expert treat a Star Radiance-class with such deference.

Even when the two from the Eternal Star Alliance were killed, Bella said nothing.

"My lords, we have prepared accommodations for you—would you like to rest for a while?"

After Bella and the others left, Emily spoke up kindly.

"Alright." Xu Jingming nodded, accepting without refusal.

Just now, when slaying those demons, I collected numerous Space Rings—perfect time to sort the spoils.

Moreover, the Purple Nightmare Demon Body consumes a great deal of energy; I need to restore my Yuan Energy.

Emily arranged for them an extremely luxurious residence.

Xu Jingming asked Ye Lan to wait half an hour; after restoring his Yuan Energy, he would treat her demonic aura.

Ye Lan then entered a cultivation state as well.

But compared to Xu Jingming, her combat expenditure was relatively low.

Thus, she recovered to her peak before Xu Jingming and exited her cultivation state.

Ye Lan slowly opened her eyes, her gaze naturally falling upon Xu Jingming across from her.

Xu Jingming was still in cultivation, eyes slightly closed, breathing long and steady.

He sat cross-legged, spine straight as a pine.

His broad shoulders and solid chest were sharply defined by his battle suit.

His muscle lines were not exaggerated, yet brimmed with astonishing explosive power.

Every inch of his skin seemed forged through countless hammerings, radiating a restrained ferocity.

His face was sharply chiseled, eyebrows like swords, nose high and proud, exuding a cold, stern aura.

Yet when he sat in quiet meditation,

that sharpness softened slightly, replaced by a deeper calm and profundity.

Undeniably, in terms of appearance, Xu Jingming was among the absolute top tier of all the opposite-sex individuals Ye Lan had ever seen.

For a moment, she found herself staring, transfixed.

After a while longer, Xu Jingming also ended his cultivation and opened his eyes to look at Ye Lan:

"Senior Ye, you've recovered?"

Meeting Xu Jingming's gaze, Ye Lan's heart leapt; she quickly looked away, her expression slightly awkward:

"Mm, I'm fine now."

She suddenly realized her earlier behavior had been like that of a lovesick woman...

"Then let's begin. I'll treat your demonic aura first, Senior Ye."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly and rose from the sofa.

"Alright." Ye Lan gave a slight nod and activated her Succubus bloodline.

In an instant, her figure and aura transformed dramatically!

Even after seeing it many times, that irresistibly alluring, voluptuous form still left Xu Jingming stunned.

Especially now, just after using the Purple Nightmare Demon Body.

"I... I'm sorry..."

Feeling Xu Jingming's slightly heated gaze, Ye Lan's slender frame trembled faintly; she bit her red lip gently and whispered.

Then she extended her delicate fingers and slowly pulled down the zipper of her battle suit behind her.

She slowly shed the silver-white battle suit, which had wrapped her soft body, stopping just at her chest.

The area, now even fuller due to her Succubus form, strained against its confines, revealing a soft, snowy northern hemisphere.

"Senior Ye, what are you—?"

Xu Jingming's face showed shock.

This development felt... strangely off.
