Chapter 1912: Afraid You'll Enjoy It! Let's Get Moving!
"You really want to come along?"
Xu Jingming looked at Lingge, his brow slightly furrowed.
He really didn't want to bring Lingge along.
Lingge, the Sovereign, had already tidied her skirt hem.
Yet on that supremely magnificent elven court gown, a few creases remained from when she had been pressed against her leg earlier.
She stood ramrod straight, her silver hair slightly disheveled.
A few strands of hair clung to her flushed ear tips, her entire being exuding an indescribable mix of embarrassment and stubbornness.
When Xu Jingming's gaze swept over, she instinctively pressed her long, beautiful legs tightly together.
They overlapped and rested before her, her skirt hem forming a straight line, she spoke somewhat lacking in confidence:
"No matter how many times you hit me, it's useless! I insist on coming along."
Xu Jingming glanced at her and sighed inwardly.
The one who, when they first met on Tianfeng Mountain, had been so lofty and exalted.
The incredibly noble elven ancestral sovereign—how had she become like this?
Thinking of this, Xu Jingming couldn't help but let out a soft hum:
"I'm too lazy to hit you, lest you end up enjoying it."
"You?!"
Lingge, the Sovereign, was both ashamed and furious, her exquisite face flushing crimson, her chest heaving violently with anger.
Yet she couldn't defeat Xu Jingming, so she could only stew in silent anger.
Most crucially, Xu Jingming seemed not to have misspoken......
When those few slaps landed earlier, aside from the burning pain.
She had indeed felt a strange, hard-to-mention tingling numbness.
Thinking of this, Lingge felt shame and indignation to the point of despair.
Turning her head aside, her long, pointed elven ears reddened to the point of almost bleeding.
Xu Jingming didn't notice this anomaly; after a brief thought, he spoke:
"You can come along if you want.
But if danger arises, you must immediately enter my world ring—did you hear me?"
"Yes."
Lingge instinctively nodded, so obediently that even she herself seemed slow to react.
"Mm."
Xu Jingming gave a slight nod, looking toward Huiye:
"Then let's set off—this time we'll use the spaceship directly."
"Yes!"
Though unaware why the master was so impatient, Huiye remained utterly obedient.
She respectfully bowed slightly, and with a wave of her jade hand, a streamlined, light-purple spaceship appeared in the void.
The spaceship's body was smooth as a mirror, with faint dark patterns flowing across its surface—clearly a special model capable of shielding against divine sense probing.
The three quickly boarded Huiye's spaceship.
The interior was vast, luxuriously furnished, everywhere exuding the refined delicacy unique to a female sovereign.
Xu Jingming walked straight to the central cabin and sat down, closing his eyes to rest.
Lingge sat not far from his side, her long, beautiful legs tightly pressed together, her hands clasped on her knees.
Her posture was impeccable, without a single flaw.
Yet the occasional glances she stole at Xu Jingming betrayed her unsettled state of mind.
"Huiye, full speed ahead." Xu Jingming said calmly.
"Yes, Master."
Huiye responded, and under divine sense control.
The spaceship transformed into a barely perceptible stream of light-purple light, silently piercing into the vast starry expanse.
Merely half an hour later, a desolate planet appeared in the distant starry sky, over three hundred thousand li away.
The planet was entirely gray-brown, lacking an atmosphere, its surface covered with lifeless craters and bottomless chasms.
It looked no different from countless discarded planets in the universe.
But how formidable was Xu Jingming's divine sense, having attained Perfection in the God-Refining Technique?
With just a light sweep, he sharply sensed the faint, elusive insectoid aura deep within the planet.
"Master, this is the place."
Huiye respectfully spoke up and confirmed:
"I communicated via divine sense—it is indeed the two Sovereigns of Annihilation and the four Supreme Sovereigns."
"Good."
Xu Jingming nodded, then mused: "Have them come out to see me—I don't want to go onto the planet."
Though his strength was more than enough to crush this insectoid swarm.
But for safety's sake, it's better to remain in outer space.
"Understood, Master."
Huiye nodded, and a divine sense was immediately transmitted:
"Star Eclipse, Xu Jingming does not wish to go onto the planet."
"Let me take the resources and deliver them to him — what do we do?"
At the same time, the Star Devouring Ruler hidden on the planet let out a cold snort:
"This Xu Jingming actually has some vigilance."
Another Insect Ruler beside him spoke up:
"Then what do we do next? Have Kaguya lure them up again?"
The speaker was precisely the Insect Race's other End Ruler, the Void Devouring Ruler.
Like Star Devouring, she was equally stunningly beautiful.
A head of deep purple long hair fell to her waist, her skin fair as snow, her figure graceful and voluptuous.
Only in those deep purple pupils of hers shone a bone-chilling killing intent utterly at odds with her beauty.
"No need for such trouble."
Star Devouring shook his head, slowly rising to his feet, cold light surging in his deep purple eyes:
"Three hundred thousand kilometers — although we can't seal off his Divine Kingdom teleportation.
It's more than enough! Begin the operation!"
