Chapter 73: Two Spiritual Jades?!

Luo Sheng casually used a 【Holy Light Technique】 card to help heal her wounds.

After a flash of sacred light.

The wounds on Xu Yourong’s body began to heal at a visible speed, especially the scar on her thigh which stopped bleeding and returned to smooth, white skin, delicate to the touch.

While manipulating the card, Luo Sheng teased: “My Lady Xu, aren’t you supposed to be very powerful? Why are you injured like this?”

“There were too many invading creatures, and I’ve basically exhausted my cards,” Xu Yourong explained nonchalantly. “Moreover, they seem to have gained consciousness, taking turns to fight and deplete my deck.”

Her deck was mainly composed of assassin cards.

Although it possessed high damage output, its only flaw was poor durability.

If unable to quickly defeat the opponent, the one being defeated would be oneself, this was almost a common problem for assassin decks.

Luo Sheng intended to use 【Spiritual Recovery】 on her again, but she stopped him, “Don’t waste it on me, all my deck cards are in cooldown, even with spiritual power I can’t use them.”

“Don’t you have a large number of cards?”

“Apart from the deck cards, the compatibility of other cards is too low. Using them would only waste spiritual power without much effect, it’s not necessary.”

Xu Yourong spoke without any emotion, but her voice was quite pleasant, like a clear flowing stream.

She pursued high efficiency.

Everything was used to its fullest potential, not only efficient but also time-saving.

“Quickly carry me on your back,” Xu Yourong said, making a hugging gesture.

Luo Sheng didn’t step forward.

“If you want to enjoy this VVIP service of me personally carrying you,” he said in a very serious tone, “You’ll have to pay extra!”

His original plan was to summon 【Shadow of War】 to carry her, because this woman seemed interesting, but she was dead weight and purely a waste of energy.

Energy should be used in the most efficient place, such as harvesting cards, not for carrying people.

Xu Yourong was almost thrown off balance by his words, looking at him with a “as expected of you” expression of disdain.

She finally understood why Qin Jianjia both loved and hated him. This guy was truly inconsistent in his words and actions, sometimes flirtatious yet extremely principled at other times, a strange combination.

So Xu Yourong gently persuaded, “Do you want to obtain a fragment of the demon world?”

The world fragment was the core of this otherworldly dimension.

It was not only a high-level enhancement material but also an extremely rare domain card.

Moreover, if one successfully destroyed a world fragment, they would receive multiple rewards, and the rewards were not insignificant.

There was an unexpected gain?

Luo Sheng’s eyes immediately lit up. He coughed a few times, then sat up straight and said, “Helping others is my motto. Let me carry you.”

Xu Yourong rolled her eyes.

Subsequently, she was gently picked up by Luo Sheng.

A soft sensation transmitted from Luo Sheng’s back, along with a very comfortable temperature, his entire back felt soft and warm. The fragrance of the young woman was even more refreshing.

Is this the feeling of cuddling?

Especially the delicate breathing sound by his ear, and the softly brushing hair ends.

Indeed very girlish!

How comfortable~

Seeing this scene, Bai Moxue slightly pouted her cherry-like lips, feeling very upset.

She “humph” and turned into a card, returning to his card box.

“Are you already tired of walking?”

Xu Yourong observed Luo Sheng standing still and said from behind him.

“No, I’m feeling your weight, it’s indeed quite heavy,” Luo Sheng swayed his body, adjusting to her weight.

Xu Yourong whispered in his ear, “Don’t worry, my body doesn’t exceed 90 kilograms. It shouldn’t be a problem for you now, after all, what you’re carrying now is your future reward.”

This girl!

Luo Sheng was speechless for a while, this girl had hit the nail on the head.

He changed the subject, “Alright, where is that world fragment?”

Luo Sheng just wanted to complete the mission quickly, take out the 15 million, obtain the world fragment along the way, and then leave this place as soon as possible.

To avoid any further incidents.

Xu Yourong, lying on his back, said: “About 20 kilometers north of here, you can see a world fragment. It’s guarded by a silver-level invading creature, who also commands an army.”

Luo Sheng was originally excited, ready to reclaim the world fragment.

But when he heard about the silver-level invading creature plus an army, he was stunned for a while.

He said with great frustration: “Aren’t you just sending me to my death? Damn, I didn’t expect you to deceive my feelings.”

Luo Sheng wanted to shake her off.

But her smooth arms tightly hugged Luo Sheng’s neck, her fair and soft legs also clenched tightly, like a dog-skin plaster, impossible to shake off.

Xu Yourong said nonchalantly: “Don’t worry, as long as you follow my commands, you can still win.

The highest level of that invading creature is only Silver 2 star.

With enough skill, it’s not impossible to deal with. Moreover, your card strength is not weak. I guess you now have more than four trump cards, right?

That contaminated card from Xia Xingri, and the ghost woman and witch woman in your hand, especially the pig-headed man you just subdued, you can use them, right?

After all, with your ability, you can immediately use any card you get your hands on.”

Xu Yourong’s clear voice echoed in his ear.

Although it sounded soft, Luo Sheng couldn’t help but feel nervous, as if his secrets had been stripped bare.

“Knowing too much is not good for you…”

Luo Sheng stopped, his originally relaxed expression froze, and his tone suddenly turned cold.

These secrets were only known to himself. The consequences of making them public were imaginable. In the future, he would never have peace.

He had no intention of putting himself in a dangerous situation just to complete a mission.

“Don’t worry, I’ve never intended to tell anyone about your affairs,” Xu Yourong said calmly. “Besides, killing me wouldn’t do you any good. You wouldn’t complete your mission and would lose the world fragment.”

“What guarantee can you offer?”

Luo Sheng didn’t believe in any promises.

So-called promises in this world were like blank checks. If anyone believed them, it only showed their foolishness.

Having been battered by society in his previous life, he understood a principle: promises are the cheapest things. Only interests can bind both parties together.

After all, things like Sima Zhao’s ambitions happen frequently. No one can guarantee they won’t be the next Cao Pi.

As for Wang Keai, the secrets she knew were rather superficial. Luo Sheng had never told her the real core, and it didn’t matter if she knew some minor details.

“I possess two spiritual jades. Is this secret enough as a guarantee?” Xu Yourong lay on his sturdy back and said casually.

“Two spiritual jades?”

Luo Sheng was suddenly stunned. This was the most nerve-stimulating secret he had ever heard.

He remembered that at the previous banquet, Xu Yourong had mentioned something related to this.

At that time, he thought it was just theoretical stuff, not representing something that actually existed, after all, there were no successful cases.

But now, the person on his back was telling him that she possessed two spiritual jades, which made Luo Sheng uneasy.

Xu Yourong continued speaking on her own:

“My mother was a doctor. Shortly after I was born, I underwent a human experiment where my frontal lobe, which controls emotions, was removed and a symbiotic bio-brain was implanted.

When I reached adulthood and began to condense spiritual jade, two could form. The method I gave Qin Jianjia for rapid level increase was to sacrifice one spiritual jade to provide nutrients for the other.”

“This…”

Luo Sheng was suddenly too horrified to speak.

A mother, for the sake of an experiment, actually sent her own daughter to the experimental table.

Just thinking about it made it terrifyingly cruel.
