Chapter 977: This Is Too Embarrassing! A Thousand Void Stones!

As Eva had suspected, it’s better to channel than to block.

After experiencing the real thing, Su Qingli’s resistance to illusions reached its peak.

Xu Jingming was also able to use his spiritual force to completely eradicate the Xukong creatures’ spiritual energy from Su Qingli’s spiritual sea.

Logically, the greatest threat had been eliminated, so there should be no need to continue.

But Su Qingli didn’t want to stop.

As a young man with robust vitality, Xu Jingming naturally wouldn’t initiate a halt either.

By the time the storm-like commotion finally subsided, two hours had passed.

On the ground of the underground chamber, battle suits were scattered everywhere.

On the white bed, Su Qingli’s slender, fair body was hidden beneath the covers.

She rested her face against Xu Jingming’s bare chest.

The faint blush still lingering on her delicate oval face added considerable allure to her usually cold demeanor.

Xu Jingming, holding Su Qingli’s soft body in his arms, felt a sense of reflection.

One time being a rebellious disciple was already unexpected, yet he hadn’t imagined a second time would come...

At this moment, Su Qingli felt as if everything had been an illusion.

But she knew this was absolutely not an illusion.

Illusions, like dreams, generate experiences based on the psychic’s own memories.

Before this, she had no such experience at all, and even the simulated sensations from the illusion had felt pleasant.

But now, after experiencing it for real...

She realized the illusion’s simulation was utterly inferior.

It couldn’t even compare to the real thing...

Thinking of this, Su Qingli’s face grew even redder.

No wonder Sister Shuang always liked staying with Jingming—it was like this.

By the way, how should I explain this situation to Sister Shuang later?

Thinking of this, Su Qingli sat up quickly from the bed.

Her dark hair spilled loosely behind her as she spoke with some concern:

“Jingming, how should we explain this to Sister Shuang when we get back?”

“Explain? No need. Just tell her what happened.”

Xu Jingming buried his head in the valley, savoring the softness freely.

“Won’t Sister Shuang and your other little girlfriends mind?”

Su Qingli blinked her clear, large eyes, puzzled.

“No, it’s an unexpected situation—they’ll understand.”

Xu Jingming smiled as he lifted his head, “Besides, knowing this news, they might even be happy, based on what I know of them.”

“Happy?! How is that possible?” Su Qingli’s eyes widened.

If it were her, she’d never want to share her man with anyone else.

“You’ll see when the time comes.”

Xu Jingming cleared his throat and didn’t elaborate.

In truth, even before entering the Breakthrough Tower, even all of Ling Shuang and the others combined couldn’t have held out.

Jiang Chuxuan had even been yelling for more sisters...

“As long as they understand, that’s enough.”

Hearing this, Su Qingli felt slightly reassured, then said:

“Jingming, let’s go somewhere else—I want to check on Father’s condition.”

“Not yet, there’s another place we need to handle.”

Xu Jingming flashed a wicked grin and leaned close to Su Qingli’s ear to whisper.

“This?!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qingli’s face turned instantly crimson, and she pouted:

“This is too embarrassing! Besides, that...”

“Why not? Sister Shuang does this all the time.” Xu Jingming grinned.

“Sister Shuang?” Su Qingli’s almond eyes widened slightly.

She never would’ve imagined that the mature, refined Ling Shuang would do something like this.

“How did I never realize you were this mischievous?”

“But since Sister Shuang doesn’t mind, I’ll let you off this time.”

Su Qingli cast him a sultry glance, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then slowly bent forward...

Half an hour later, Xu Jingming and Su Qingli, fully dressed again, left the underground chamber.

Xu Jingming had wanted to discard the bed, but Su Qingli insisted on taking it along as a memento.

So the bed was stored in Su Qingli’s space ring as a keepsake.

Of course,

The bed wasn’t the only thing kept as a memento—the video recorded by little Eva was too.

When Su Qingli first learned about the video, she had been embarrassed and annoyed.

But upon learning that there were videos of Ling Shuang and the others, her annoyance quickly turned to curiosity.

In the end, she struck a deal with Eva and kept the video.

In exchange, she demanded to watch Ling Shuang’s videos too.

The result was that she was utterly stunned, her face blazing red as she shut the video off herself.

After all, the content was still too intense for her...

If it were anywhere else, Su Tianrui’s thunder sphere, two hundred meters in diameter, would be glaringly obvious wherever he released it.

But this was the ninth level of the Breakthrough Tower.

This level was a world of lightning—anywhere you looked, you could find a thunderstorm zone.

So Xu Jingming quickly located a region filled with endless blue lightning and released Su Tianrui from his space ring.

BOOM!

A massive crimson thunder sphere materialized out of thin air; streams of crimson lightning converged, quickly forming Su Tianrui’s figure.

“Xiao Li, how’s Xiao Li?”

As soon as he appeared, he asked anxiously.

“Father, I’m fine now.” Su Qingli replied quickly.

“Good, good, that’s all that matters.”

Seeing Su Qingli unharmed and her eyes clear, Su Tianrui finally exhaled in relief.

But he found her posture slightly odd—she seemed awkward and shy.

Of course,

That was all Xu Jingming’s “doing.”

In truth, if a weaker psychic had come here, they probably wouldn’t even be able to walk after finishing...

“But how did you manage it? The Xukong creatures’ spiritual energy isn’t easy to handle.” Su Tianrui asked curiously.

“It’s all Jingming’s work—he has strong spiritual force and precise control.”

Su Qingli replied, her expression slightly uneasy.

Thank goodness Father hadn’t been outside at the time—if he had, she’d have lost all dignity.

“It also couldn’t have been done without Teacher Su’s cooperation,” Xu Jingming said with mock seriousness.

Fortunately, Su Tianrui didn’t notice anything unusual and laughed:

“I’m relieved. If anything happened to Xiao Li, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.”

“Don’t worry, Teacher Su won’t be harmed.”

“By the way, Teacher Su, let me introduce you to what we’ve found so far...”

Smiling, Xu Jingming then gave Su Tianrui a brief overview of the Xinhuo World and the Breakthrough Tower.

“The Xinhuo World! I never imagined the Second Civilization still had legacies!”

Upon hearing this, Su Tianrui’s eyes lit up.

Even more astonishing—he learned that this new Breakthrough Tower came from a previously undiscovered civilization!

“Trapped in the spatial chaos for four years, I’ve lost too much.” He shook his head, sighing.

Had it not been for seeking the chance to break through to the Supreme Realm, he’d still be a top-tier ninth-rank powerhouse!

Had it not been for the appearance of the Xinhuo World and the Breakthrough Tower, he wouldn’t be so weak now.

“As long as you’re alive, there’s hope, Teacher Su. You survived a great disaster—you’ll surely return to your peak.” Xu Jingming smiled.

On Su Qingli’s fair face, a bright smile appeared too.

The bottleneck had been shattered; she had found her long-lost father.

The gains from this Breakthrough Tower journey were more than enough for her.

“Then I’ll take your good words to heart.”

Su Tianrui laughed heartily, then handed over a space ring:

"Just now I heard you said you needed Void Stones to exchange for resources. I don’t have much else, but I’ve got plenty of Void Stones—here, take them all."

There was no mental imprint on it; Xu Jingming swept his mental force over the space ring and his eyes widened.

Inside the space ring were piled countless Void Stones!

A rough scan revealed at least ten million of them!
