Chapter 1608: Unethical Figure! Who Can Resist This?

"Physical contact is required?"

He ignored the playfulness in Vera's tone.

Xu Jingming instinctively looked at Lin Qianxue lying on the bed.

"It's fine."

Lin Qianxue didn't think much of it, "If it's needed for healing, I'm fine with it."

"Good."

Xu Jingming no longer hesitated, stepped forward, and sat beside the bed.

He extended his right hand and gently took hold of Lin Qianxue's outstretched left hand.

Completely different from the icy coldness during her previous severe injury.

The moment his hand closed around hers, a warm, smooth, delicate sensation spread through his palm, as if holding a piece of warm jade.

"I'm beginning the guidance."

He calmed his mind and sank into his consciousness sea.

The emerald-colored Life Core resided in her left chest, slowly rotating, radiating vast vitality.

Xu Jingming guided his intent.

A strand of pure life energy detached from the Core, flowing along her meridians to his palm.

Chi—

A pale green light emerged from his palm, silently sinking into the back of Lin Qianxue's hand.

The instant the energy entered her body, Lin Qianxue's slender frame trembled slightly.

"Mmm..."

Lin Qianxue's slender frame trembled, emitting a muffled moan.

She could clearly feel the cracks on the surface of her Life Core.

Under the nourishment of this life energy, they were truly beginning to heal slowly!

"It's working!"

Lin Qianxue's beautiful eyes suddenly brightened.

"But this speed is too slow."

Xu Jingming frowned slightly.

At this rate, fully healing the cracks in her Life Core would likely take decades or even centuries.

"Hehe, isn't that simple?"

The demon girl Vera's soul floated in midair, her heart-shaped tail swaying triumphantly:

"The efficiency of life energy transmission is proportional to the contact area."

"You're only holding hands—how much effect can that possibly have?"

She blinked her large purple eyes, speaking with solemn seriousness:

"Increasing the contact area will yield better healing results."

"Contact area?"

Xu Jingming froze, still not grasping it.

But Lin Qianxue had already softly agreed:

"Alright."

She sat up slightly.

Her other slender hand rose and gently covered the back of Xu Jingming's hand that held hers.

Their hands overlapped, palms pressed together.

Warmth spread from the point of their skin contact.

Xu Jingming could clearly feel the delicacy of her fingertips and the slight dampness of her palm.

Hum—!!!

The transmission of Life Core energy surged dramatically!

The pale green light flared brightly, like a stream merging into a river, flooding endlessly into Lin Qianxue's body.

"The healing speed has definitely increased!"

Surprise appeared on Lin Qianxue's exquisite face.

"Hehe, I told you it would work."

Vera proudly puffed out her flat little chest.

A flicker of mischief passed through her purple eyes, then she spoke with utter certainty:

"Alright.

You two should take off all your clothes and hug each other.

That should push the healing speed to its limit."

"What? Take off all our clothes?!"

Lin Qianxue's beautiful eyes widened, her pale golden irises filled with shock.

No no, this was too embarrassing!

But without this, she couldn't recover quickly.

But take off all her clothes?

Just imagining that scene.

Her fair, delicate face flushed slightly.

She instinctively pressed her long, straight legs together.

Her slender body stiffened slightly; without realizing it, the battle suit fabric rustled faintly.

"What are you talking about! She's my senior sister!"

Xu Jingming's face darkened; he shot Vila a furious glare.

The latter immediately shrank her neck and muttered softly:

"It's true anyway—skin-to-skin contact works best."

"It doesn't have to be direct physical contact."

Xu Jingming paused briefly, then spoke:

"We can try other methods."

"Oh, oh, okay."

Lin Qianxue, still caught in inner turmoil, finally snapped back to awareness and nodded hastily.

Yet a flush of embarrassment surged in her heart.

What was I just thinking?

Why did I start considering the possibility of stripping naked without even verifying Vila's claim?

For the next dozen minutes, Xu Jingming tested multiple forms of contact.

The final test revealed that the transmission of life energy from the Life Core did not require skin-to-skin contact.

Even through the battle suit, as long as the contact area was large enough, healing efficiency remained quite effective.

"But this is still troublesome."

Xu Jingming mused inwardly.

He couldn't just stay inside the World Ring, pressed against Lin Qianxue, healing her forever, could he?

He still needed to hunt down alien races and harvest Source Points.

"Then just carry her."

Vila swished her peach-heart tail lazily and said:

"Carry her with you as you move—it won't slow you down, and you can keep healing continuously.

Plus, being on your back gives enough contact area to maximize treatment."

"Carry her?"

Xu Jingming froze.

That's actually a viable solution.

But would Senior Sister agree to this?

Such an intimate posture is truly inappropriate between opposite sexes.

Lin Qianxue lowered her head slightly and feigned composure:

"Mm, I have no problem with it."

As long as the Life Core can be healed and her combat power restored as soon as possible,

these details didn't matter to her.

Besides, he's her junior brother—some closeness wouldn't hurt.

"Alright, it's settled then."

Since Lin Qianxue agreed, Xu Jingming naturally wouldn't refuse.

Immediately, he activated his will.

Their figures flashed, appearing simultaneously outside.

"Master."

Seeing Xu Jingming appear,

Haley, who had been flying at high speed, instantly halted and bowed respectfully.

"Haley."

Xu Jingming ordered: "Command your insectoid legion.

Scatter and search for Starfall Beasts and alien traces within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius.

Once you detect a target, immediately mark its location and transmit the information to me via psychic link."

Although killing Starfall Beasts yields abundant Source Points,

they are exceedingly rare, making them time-consuming and laborious to find.

Now that he had the Insect Queen in his control, he could fully utilize the swarm tactic for carpet searches.

Once a target was found, he could rush over and harvest it directly!

"Yes, Master."

Haley bowed her head respectfully; the insect mark on her forehead suddenly glowed.

Hum—

The void tore open, revealing dozens of dark insect portals.

Swarms of insectoid warriors poured out like a tide.

Upon receiving the order,

under Haley's command, they swiftly split into hundreds of squads and shot off in all directions.

After assigning the search mission, Xu Jingming turned to look at Lin Qianxue beside him.

"Senior sister, get on."

He bent slightly, offering his broad back toward her.

"Mm..."

Lin Qianxue gently bit her red lips.

She hesitated briefly, but still stepped forward two paces.

Those straight, slender jade-like legs bent slightly at the knee, her delicate frame leaning forward.

The next second.

Xu Jingming only felt a soft, springy sensation press against his back.

Lin Qianxue's perfectly proportioned long legs pressed tightly against his waist.

Even through the battle armor, the astonishing elasticity and warmth of her skin came through.

What made Xu Jingming's heart stir even more—

The full, breathtaking curve of her chest pressed against his back without any reservation.

Soft, full, astonishingly springy...

Even through two layers of battle armor, he could still clearly feel that heart-stopping contour and weight.

Xu Jingming could even smell the faint body fragrance drifting from behind him.

Cool as snow, yet tinged with a sweetness unique to women.

Hiss!!

Isn't this figure a little too unfair?

He had assumed Lin Qianxue was just long-legged.

But judging by the weight he felt now, it was absolutely a fullness that even one of his large hands couldn't grasp!

Who could withstand this?
