Chapter 302

Entering the commercial district, Xu Jingming and Song Qiuyun first went for lunch.

Then they switched into shopping mode, buying plenty of local specialties from Qingjing City.

Later, they visited several famous attractions, not returning until eight p. m., after dinner.

Only then did they come back to Qingxu City; by the time they arrived at Song Qiuyun's villa, it was fully dark, the time past nine.

But it wasn't that late yet.

So Xu Jingming changed into a loose training suit and entered the training room with Song Qiuyun.

He planned to train a bit longer before heading back...

Huh—

Huh—

An hour later, in the villa's training room, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the alloy floor.

His chest rose and fell, his breath following an unusual rhythm.

The yuan energy in the surrounding air was thus drawn into his body, continuously strengthening his physique and mental power.

After a long while,

Xu Jingming slowly opened his eyes after completing the Extreme Psychic Training Method.

"The top-tier psychic training method truly absorbs yuan energy efficiently.

But relying solely on this to advance to fourth stage? Impossible without at least half a year."

Xu Jingming shook his head and mentally called out, "Deep Blue," instantly a pale blue virtual panel appearing in his mind.

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Physique Cultivation】: Lei Bu Mie Shen (Fifth Level)

【Psychic Points】: 1123

"Too few psychic points—I hope the National Education Bureau will deploy more fourth-stage beasts into the arena; otherwise, there won't be enough to kill."

Looking at the pitifully low psychic points on the system panel, Xu Jingming eagerly anticipated tomorrow's survival contest.

He then picked up his phone and checked: it was 10:23 p. m.

Outside the villa, darkness reigned, with only a few streetlamps emitting faint, glowing white light.

At this hour on normal days, he would have already headed back to the university dormitory area.

But since tomorrow was a day off, there was no need for him to return so early.

"I could train Lei Bu Mie Shen a bit longer..."

Xu Jingming mused, removed his shirt, revealing a formidable physique worthy of art.

He closed his eyes slightly, activated the Lei Bu Mie Shen cultivation method, golden lightning flickering and dancing across his skin.

Like tempering a weapon, forging his physique.

"Xu Jingming's muscles..."

Nearby, though she had seen Xu Jingming's bare upper body more than once,

Song Qiuyun's cheeks still flushed slightly, a desire to touch him up close surging within her.

"How can I get to touch him?" Song Qiuyun fell into thought.

After a long while,

she suddenly seemed to think of something, her eyes lighting up, cheerfully turning to her own training.

The Lei Bu Mie Shen forging only required one hour.

If prolonged, it would yield no cultivation benefit and might even damage the body.

So after "electrotherapy" for exactly one hour, Xu Jingming opened his eyes on schedule.

The SS-level psychic ability, Dou Tian Shenlei, was likewise retracted into his body.

His entire skin surface now glowed faintly red, as if immersed in boiling water.

Just as he prepared to rise, Song Qiuyun appeared before him, smiling, holding a small white porcelain bottle:

"Don't move—this is the A-grade cultivation resource 'Cui Ti Ye' sent by my family yesterday.

Applied to the skin, it enhances physique. Let me rub it on you?"

Song Qiuyun's eyes held a hint of anticipation.

This "Cui Ti Ye" had originally been sent to her to strengthen her physique.

It could be dissolved in water for soaking, or applied directly to the skin.

But for her, applying it directly was best...

"Cui Ti Ye? Sure, go ahead and apply it."

Xu Jingming didn't overthink it, nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Song Qiuyun's face lit up; she poured a small amount from the porcelain bottle and rubbed it between her palms.

"It might feel a bit cold."

She warned him, her face slightly flushed as she stepped behind Xu Jingming.

She knelt down, her jade-like hands slowly rubbing the ointment onto his skin.

Though she had already confirmed her relationship with Xu Jingming earlier this month.

They had occasionally had physical contact before, but such an intimate touch was still the first time.

So when her hand touched his broad back, she instantly felt a peculiar sensation, as if struck by lightning.

It made her movement pause slightly, and her already flushed face turned deep crimson.

After taking several deep breaths and slightly adjusting her posture, she gently closed her legs before continuing to apply the ointment.

Xu Jingming, facing away, was naturally unaware of Song Qiuyun's expression.

He merely felt a coolness on his back, and the nearby muscles began to ache and itch slightly, as if slowly intensifying under the effect of the potion.

"It's definitely effective, but I can't keep using your cultivation resources forever."

"Principal Ling gave me an S-class Guiyuan Pill the other day—I'll give it to you later."

Xu Jingming said with a smile.

During the Thunder Realm, because I needed to buy the Liuyun Jin Feng Spear.

I borrowed 150 million from Song Qiuyun and 100 million from Jiang Chuxuan.

I planned to repay them with academy credits after winter break, back at school.

But after returning to school and confirming our relationship, I wanted to return the money, but both girls refused to take it.

Xu Jingming was not someone who liked to take advantage, not even from his girlfriend.

Now Song Qiuyun has brought out another A-class resource—I naturally must return the favor.

"Mm, okay~~"

Given Song Qiuyun's personality, she would never have accepted it.

But now her attention was entirely on Xu Jingming's back, so she nodded instinctively in agreement.

At the same time, her hand movements resumed slowly...

Time passed slowly; under the pretense of applying the potion, Song Qiuyun nearly touched every inch of Xu Jingming's upper body.

And the slower she went, the more slowly she moved.

It should have taken no more than ten minutes, yet Song Qiuyun dragged it out for nearly half an hour!

"A-all done... I've finished applying it."

After evenly spreading the last drop of potion on Xu Jingming's back, Song Qiuyun reluctantly retracted her right hand.

"Comfortable."

Xu Jingming stood up from the ground and slowly exhaled a turbid breath, his space ring flickering faintly.

A vial of pills appeared instantly in his right hand, offered toward Song Qiuyun:

"By the way, here's the S-class Guiyuan Pill—take it."

Only then did Xu Jingming notice that Song Qiuyun seemed off.

There, facing him, Song Qiuyun's face was faintly flushed, her legs tightly pressed together, standing in an odd inward-turned stance.

"Are you alright? Did you get a fever? That shouldn't be it," Xu Jingming asked suspiciously.

"N-nothing's wrong—maybe I just trained too hard earlier."

Afraid he'd notice something, Song Qiuyun quickly shook her head and snatched the pill from Xu Jingming's hand.

"Good, then. It's getting late—I'll head back now."

With a wave, Xu Jingming put on his clothes and turned to leave.

She looked at the pill in her hand, then at Xu Jingming's towering back.

Song Qiuyun's face grew even redder, driven by some inner heat.

Her body, as if uncontrollable, stepped forward with long strides and chased after him:

"Wait a moment."

"Hm? Is there something else?" Xu Jingming turned around, puzzled.

The moment he turned, a wave of fragrance rushed toward him; before he could react, Song Qiuyun threw her entire body into his arms.

"Qiuyun, what are you...?"

Xu Jingming, feeling the soft, delicate body in his arms, was still confused.

At that moment, Song Qiuyun's face was crimson to her ears, her head slightly tilted upward.

Her beautiful eyes, filled with liquid desire, gazed at him, her voice soft as silk:

"Jing... Ming, can you not leave tonight?"

Her voice was so faint, it was hardly more than a whisper.

Yet as a third-rank upper-tier psychic, Xu Jingming clearly heard every word—and froze completely.

Having lived two lives, his emotional intelligence was certainly not so low that he wouldn't understand this.

As a young man with vigorous blood and qi, Xu Jingming naturally had no intention of refusing.

After checking her state and confirming he hadn't misunderstood, he nodded firmly: "Okay!"

Saying this, he swept his arms around her full, long legs amid Song Qiuyun's soft cry.

He lifted her entire body and carried her out of the training room.

"F-first... take a shower..."

After the rush of running water, the sound paused briefly.

Then came a continuous, rapid sound, like mountain stream water.

Unlike ordinary mountain streams, not a single blade of grass grew above it...
