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

Just as Eva had speculated, it's better to divert than to block.

After experiencing the real thing, Su Qingli's resistance to the illusionary realm skyrocketed.

Xu Jingming was also able to use his spiritual force to completely eradicate the spiritual energy of the void creatures within Su Qingli's spiritual sea.

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

But Su Qingli didn't want to stop.

As a young man with vigorous blood and qi, Xu Jingming naturally wouldn't initiate a halt either.

Thus, when the storm-like commotion finally subsided, two hours had already passed.

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

On the pristine white bed, Su Qingli's slender, fair body was hidden beneath the quilts.

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 otherwise cold and distant aura.

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

To have become a rebellious disciple once was already unexpected, yet he hadn't imagined a second time would come...

At this moment, Su Qingli felt as if all of this 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 truly experiencing it...

She realized the illusion's simulation was utterly terrible.

It couldn't be compared to the real experience at all...

Thinking of this, Su Qingli's cheeks grew even redder.

No wonder Sister Ling always liked staying with Jingming—it was because of this.

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

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

Her dark tresses fell loosely behind her as she spoke with some concern:

"Jingming, what should we tell Sister Ling when we get back?"

"Explain? No need to explain—just tell her what happened."

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

"Won't Sister Ling and your other little girlfriends mind?"

Su Qingli blinked her clear, large eyes and asked in confusion.

"No, it's an unexpected situation—they'll understand."

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

"Happy?!" Su Qingli's beautiful eyes widened.

If it were her, she would 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 fact, even before entering the Void-Piercing Tower, all of Ling Shuang and the others combined couldn't have held out.

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

"As long as they understand, that's enough."

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

"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 smile and leaned close to Su Qingli's ear, whispering softly.

"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 Ling does this all the time." Xu Jingming grinned.

"Sister Ling?" Su Qingli's almond eyes widened slightly.

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

"How come I never noticed you were this wicked before?"

"But since Sister Ling doesn't mind, I'll let you off this time."

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

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 keepsake.

So the bed was placed into Su Qingli's space ring as a keepsake.

Of course,

The bed wasn't the only thing turned into a keepsake—the video recorded by Eva the little girl 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 too, her embarrassment quickly turned to curiosity.

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

But correspondingly, she also had to watch Ling Shuang's videos.

The result was that she was utterly stunned, her fair face flushing red as she actively shut off the video.

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

If it were anywhere else, Su Tianrui's thunderball, two hundred meters in diameter, would be glaringly obvious wherever he unleashed it.

But this was the ninth level of Po Xu Tower.

This level was a world of lightning, where storm zones could be found anywhere.

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

Boom—!

A massive crimson thunderball materialized out of thin air; strands of crimson lightning converged, swiftly forming Su Tianrui's figure.

"Xiao Li, how is Xiao Li?"

The moment he was released, he asked anxiously.

"Dad, I'm fine now," Su Qingli replied quickly.

"Good, good, that's all that matters."

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

Yet something puzzled him—Su Qingli's posture seemed odd, awkward and fidgety.

Of course,

this was all Xu Jingming's "doing."

In fact, if a weaker adept had been here, afterward they probably wouldn't even be able to walk...

"But how did you manage it? 虚空生物's mental energy is hard to handle." Su Tianrui asked curiously.

"It's all Jingming's work—he has immense mental energy and extremely precise control."

Su Qingli replied with an uneasy expression.

Luckily Father wasn't outside then, or she would have lost all her face.

"None of this would have been possible without Teacher Su's cooperation," Xu Jingming said with mock solemnity.

Fortunately, Su Tianrui noticed nothing amiss and laughed:

"I'm relieved—if anything had happened to Xiao Li, I'd regret it for the rest of my life."

"Rest assured, Elder Su, Teacher won't be harmed."

"By the way, Elder Su, let me introduce you to what we currently have..."

Smiling, Xu Jingming then gave Su Tianrui a general overview of the Xinhuo World and the existence of Po Xu Tower.

"The Xinhuo World! I never expected the Second Civilization Era still had legacies!"

Upon hearing the introduction, Su Tianrui's eyes lit up.

Even more astonishing to him was that this newly appeared Po Xu Tower originated from another civilization never before discovered!

"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 rumored opportunity to break through to the Supreme, he'd still be a Peak Ninth-Stage powerhouse!

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

"As long as you're alive, there's hope, Elder Su. You survived a great disaster—surely you'll return to your peak." Xu Jingming smiled.

On Su Qingli's fair, lovely face, a bright smile also appeared.

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

The gains from this journey through Po Xu Tower 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:

"I just 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 left. Here, take them all."

There was no mental imprint on it; as Xu Jingming took the space ring and swept it with his mental energy, his eyes widened.

Inside the space ring lay a dense, piled mass of Void Stones!

A rough scan revealed at least ten million of them!
