Chapter 970

"Oh no! They've been dragged into a hallucination!!"

The holographic projection of Eva urgently emerged from her smart armband.

She was an artificial lifeform, capable of converting herself into a data stream and storing it within electronic devices.

Such psychic shocks were naturally useless against her, which is why she remained conscious.

"S-Class! Su Laoshi! Can you hear me?"

Eva kept calling, but neither of them responded.

"We're done—my power alone can't wake them up."

Eva quickly turned and asked the Iron Lotus: "Little Lotus, are you alright? Are you still there?"

"I seem to be unaffected."

The Iron Lotus, clinging to Su Qingli, extended a tiny tendril that swayed gently.

"Good."

Eva exhaled in relief, paused to think, then said with a solemn expression: "Wait one minute. If they still haven't awakened by then, we'll take them out immediately!"

Her psychic power was far too weak to awaken them.

The Iron Lotus's psychic power was even weaker—she couldn't possibly do it either.

"Alright." The Iron Lotus retracted from its plant armor form.

It transformed into a massive lotus flower, hovering midair, its thick, serpent-like vines shielding Xu Jingming and Su Qingli within.

"S-Class, Su Laoshi—now it's up to you two."

Eva floated in midair, watching Xu Jingming and Su Qingli before her.

Without Xu Jingming's psychic sharing, she could no longer sense the Void creatures' presence.

But she was certain that numerous Void creatures were already rushing toward them.

With their sheer numbers, they would devour Xu Jingming and Su Qingli's psychic energy completely within less than an hour.

Lose your psychic energy, leave only an empty shell—it's no different from death.

One second in reality could feel like years within the hallucination.

This is what is called "a second feels like a year."

If Xu Jingming and the others still haven't broken the illusion after one minute, it will be virtually impossible afterward.

Then she would have to use the space beast bone stored on Xu Jingming's person to teleport them away.

But using space power within the spatial chaos layer would interfere with the teleportation coordinates.

If the destination lacked a detectable exit, they would find it extremely difficult to return to the Void-Breaking Tower...

"Qingli, what's wrong?"

Ling Shuang's slender, ivory fingers waved before her eyes.

Su Qingli finally snapped back to awareness, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion: "Where am I..."

"Sister Qingli, what's wrong? You forgot your own wedding?"

"Haha, probably too excited last night."

"It's all Jingming's fault—he kept you up so late."

"Blame him? I feel like you're the craziest one."

"..."

A tinkling laugh rang out beside her; Su Qingli turned instinctively.

She saw three stunningly beautiful, tall, slender young women.

No— one of them had a noticeably more refined and mature aura, with a tear mole beneath her eye.

The three women each had distinct temperaments: one coquettish, one mischievous, one elegant and poised.

Yet all of them wore exquisite wedding gowns.

Su Qingli instantly recognized their identities.

Ling Shuang, Song Qiuyun, Jiang Chuxuan.

Aren't these Xu Jingming's girlfriends?

Looking down, she realized she too wore a similar white wedding gown.

Then it suddenly came back to her.

Today was the wedding day—hers and Xu Jingming's.

"Qingli, are you alright?" Ling Shuang looked at her with concern.

"I'm... fine." Su Qingli gave a slight nod.

She felt as if she had forgotten something important, but couldn't recall it just then.

"Are you all ready? It's almost time for your entrance."

A deep, powerful voice rang out.

A man in a suit, around thirty years old and resembling Su Qingli in appearance, walked in smiling.

"Father?"

Su Qingli's almond eyes widened slowly.

She remembered now—her father, Su Tianrui, had been rescued by her and Xu Jingming years ago.

Afterward, she had naturally become involved with Xu Jingming, then came the beast invasion.

Blue Planet and the Xinhuo World united; multiple supreme experts joined forces and utterly crushed the beasts' assault.

The beasts never recovered; humanity was finally free from their threat—hence this wedding.

"What? Haven't seen me for a moment and you don't recognize your own father?"

Su Tianrui walked up to Su Qingli with a smile, reached out his right hand, and adjusted her veil for her:

"Worthy of being my daughter — truly beautiful.

The day you were born, I already wondered which lucky boy would end up taking you away.

I never thought the day would actually come, but fortunately Xu Jingming really is outstanding, and with him leading the Lei Ting Martial Arts Hall..."

At this moment, Su Tianrui, a peak ninth-rank, was no different from any ordinary father.

He kept on prattling away, while Su Qingli had long since burst into tears without realizing it.

She didn't know why she was like this — it was as if she couldn't control her emotions.

"Please, all parents and the groom, get ready — it'll be your turn shortly."

At that moment, the wedding MC spoke up to remind them.

"Why are you crying? Today is your wedding — you should be happy."

Su Tianrui wiped the tears from Su Qingli's face.

"Right, I should be happy."

A smile that could only be called radiant bloomed on Su Qingli's fair, pretty face, and she happily took her father's arm.

"Next, please welcome the brides — Su Qingli, Hearing Ling Shuang, Song Qiuyun, Jiang Chuxuan..."

Under the MC's ringing announcement, the great doors ahead were slowly pushed open.

What came into view was a wedding stage decorated as exquisitely beautiful as heaven itself, filled everywhere with bright, fresh flowers and blooms.

Across from the stage, a young man stood there holding a bouquet.

The young man's features were handsome and resolute, his build tall — just standing there, he radiated an indescribably strange aura.

His appearance seemed to dim everyone else around him; this young man was none other than Xu Jingming.

"Please, the father, hand your daughter over to the groom — next, we begin the exchange of rings..."

After a series of procedures, the grand wedding came to an end, and in the blink of an eye, night had fallen.

"Sister Shuang, are we really going to do that?"

On the wide, broad bed were four perfect bodies of breathtaking, heart-stopping beauty.

A faint pink blush colored Su Qingli's fair, pretty face.

A pair of beautiful legs nervously rubbed against each other, and her slender waist twisted restlessly.

"It's not the first time — what are you nervous about?" Hearing Ling Shuang asked her, puzzled.

The white-haired girl Jiang Chuxuan also giggled: "Sister Qingli, did you forget? We worked together really well before."

"Right! Jingming's physique is just too strong — without you, how could we possibly manage?

Besides, today's a day of great joy — we can't leave any regrets."

Song Qiuyun said with a soft laugh.

"I... is that so?" Su Qingli seemed a little dazed.

She always felt that her memories connected to this part were extremely fuzzy.

Just as she was trying to recall carefully, Xu Jingming's tall, sturdy figure had already walked in...
