Chapter 627: What? Got Addicted to Touching?
After capturing the leader of the Midie Sect, Ling Shuang handed the follow-up cleanup work to the Lei Ting Wu Guan side to handle.
When the news was transmitted back to Lei Ting Wu Guan, it naturally caused a stir of shock.
No one expected that just yesterday Ling Shuang had said at the meeting that the mission would be completed within five days.
Yet on the very next day, the promise was fulfilled.
As the hall master, Liu Shan was somewhat displeased in his heart, but still truthfully reported the battle results upward.
The two of them not getting along was true, but if he dared to steal the credit, then Su Qingli would naturally have an excuse to punish him.
He wouldn't go so far as to falsify things on this matter.
And the Midie Sect mission had been handed over by the Mocheng city government to Lei Ting Wu Guan to handle.
Upon learning the news, the city government also commended Lei Ting Wu Guan's battle results at the first opportunity, while arranging personnel to join the cleanup work.
It can be foreseen that once all the cleanup work is completed, Lei Ting Wu Guan will welcome a wave of rewards.
One must know,
the super city of Mocheng was originally managed by the six giants of the United Nations taking turns to send people.
This wave of rewards would definitely be extremely generous.
And as the one who completed the mission, Ling Shuang likewise received a direct internal reward of 200,000 points from the martial hall.
"This is 50,000 points, I've already transferred it to your martial hall account."
11:45 PM,
more than an hour had passed since the capture was completed.
Having handed the Midie Sect leader over to the Mocheng city government's special department and finished the reporting work, Ling Shuang and Xu Jingming walked on the road back to the villa.
The sky was pitch black, the moon hidden within the dark clouds.
The cold wind blew, making Ling Shuang's black evening gown cling even closer to her skin, outlining her slender figure's curves.
"50,000 points? That much?" Xu Jingming was startled.
In this operation he had actually done nothing, merely accompanying Ling Shuang into the venue together.
"Consider this your labor compensation for accompanying me tonight."
Thinking of Xu Jingming's large hand reaching around her waist back at the hotel, Ling Shuang's expression became a bit unnatural.
But she quickly returned to normal, continuing: "The thirty million Blue Star coins from the auction house — you don't need to pay me back.
I've already told the city government side that once everything is wrapped up, this portion of money will be returned."
Mocheng, backed by the United Nations, was not lacking in high-tier psychic ability users.
With the Midie Sect leader captured, under the interrogation of psychic ability users,
it was believed that within just a few days, the entire sect would be uprooted completely.
All the people abducted by the sect would be rescued.
It is worth mentioning that Princess Xilan had already been taken away by people from the Mocheng city government.
Although the Kingdom of Xilan had already been breached by the beast tide, there were still some royal family members surviving on the Mocheng side.
The city government would arrange for Elaina to be placed with these royal family members.
"Right, now shouldn't you tell me the use of that bracelet?" Ling Shuang asked curiously.
"It's not safe outside, wait until we get back to talk." Xu Jingming said mysteriously.
This couldn't help but make Ling Shuang even more curious — what exactly was the use of this bracelet?
So secretive about it.
Returning to the villa, Xu Jingming and Ling Shuang sat down on the sofa.
Xu Jingming subconsciously reached to wrap an arm around her waist, and when his right hand pressed against Ling Shuang's slender waist,
he suddenly woke with a start — they had already left the Hilton Hotel and were no longer continuing the husband-and-wife disguise.
Instantly his right hand stiffened; continuing to hold her felt inappropriate, and pulling it back also felt inappropriate.
"What? Got addicted to touching me? Still not letting go?"
Ling Shuang shot Xu Jingming an annoyed glance.
Combined with the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, it carried not the slightest bit of intimidation, but rather a certain bewitching charm.
"Ahem, force of habit, sorry, sorry."
Dry-coughing once, Xu Jingming only then gingerly withdrew his right hand.
It had to be said, the feel was indeed wonderful, making one unable to put it down.
"I've already sealed off all the surrounding space, so what exactly is that bracelet — can you tell me now?"
Ling Shuang sat lazily on the sofa, her high heels casually kicked off onto the floor, revealing a pair of crystal-white, delicate jade-like feet.
She picked up a fruit from the fruit tray on the coffee table, popped it into her mouth, and asked with a note of curiosity in her voice.
"It's like this..."
Xu Jingming narrated the origins of this bracelet in detail.
Originally languid in expression, Ling Shuang, upon hearing it was related to a supreme powerhouse of the Second Civilization era,
immediately sat her body ramrod straight, a pair of beautiful eyes blazing with unprecedented fervor:
"A key that can open a supreme powerhouse's secret realm space — are you sure?!"
As an eighth-rank grandmaster, Ling Shuang understood far, far more than Xu Jingming.
She was very clear on the value of a supreme powerhouse's secret realm space.
If utilized well, it might even be possible to obtain the opportunity to advance to a supreme powerhouse!
"My artificial intelligence possesses some database materials from the Second Civilization era.
It was she who told me — there shouldn't be any problem."
Xu Jingming replied after a moment's thought.
"Since it was determined by artificial intelligence, it should be pretty much certain."
Hearing Ling Shuang let out a long breath and nodded.
She had only met Eva a few times.
But compared to other artificial intelligences, Eva was clearly more spirited.
Even having met her only once, it would be hard to forget.
"Still, this opportunity is really a bit too big for us. Even if your Su Laoshi steps in personally, it might not necessarily be something we can take on."
After thinking for a moment, Ling Shuang said with a solemn expression.
"It's that much trouble? Even Su Laoshi can't handle it?" Xu Jingming's brow furrowed.
"A Supreme Being's secret realm space is far more troublesome than you imagine."
Ling Shuang shook her head and said softly, "You should know that my Blue Star currently has a total of six Supreme Beings.
Among these six Supreme Beings, only four possess a secret realm space.
The first is my Great Xia's my lord Zhou Yuanwu.
He possesses the secret realm space left behind by the Second Civilization era Supreme Being 'Flower God'.
That is the Clear Peak Secret Realm you once entered a month ago.
The situation of the remaining three Supreme Beings is about the same as my lord Zhou Yuanwu.
Each of them possesses a secret realm space left behind from the Second Civilization era.
Only Indu and the Supreme Being of Heizhou have, to this day, still been unable to possess a secret realm of their own.
Therefore, they will try every means possible to obtain one.
When the time comes and you open the secret realm space, the resulting spatial fluctuation will absolutely be sensed by the two of them, who will then come to surround and block you."
"They can monitor all the spatial fluctuations across the entire Blue Star at all times? Supreme Beings are that freakish?" Xu Jingming's expression shifted slightly.
Isn't this TM just like the nuclear weapons detection from my previous life?
Any country secretly testing nuclear weapons can be detected entirely.
"Ordinary spatial fluctuations naturally cannot be detected, but a Supreme Being's relic space is far too vast.
Once opened, it will absolutely produce violent spatial fluctuations.
These spatial fluctuations can be sensed not only by Supreme Beings, but even by some peak ninth-tier ability users."
As a Space-system S-rank ability awakener, Ling Shuang's understanding of space was extremely profound.
