Chapter 128: Bao Jing Looks Fun to Play With

Yi Yang suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "How could an energy attribute possibly boost a female's ability?"

If such an energy attribute really existed, the females of Zhu Shen Xing and all the clans would have gone crazy fighting over it.

Ye Xi'an furrowed her delicate brows: "Why do you say it's impossible to boost a female's ability?"

Could it be that energy is discriminating like that?

Yi Yang wanted to speak, but Ji Jiangci stopped him; his mouth is so clumsy he can't explain clearly.

"Let me say it instead."

The reason energy attributes can't boost a female's ability is that female abilities are too strong and rare. Those energy stones are either fire or water aligned; we've never seen a psychic type. The sole space-attributed space stone has shown no nurturing effect so far—it can only be made into a key for space gates.

"So for females, the only option is to evolve their physique."

"Strong?" Ye Xi'an eyed herself dubiously, "Am I strong? But I feel utterly useless."

She can't shoulder heavy loads or lift things with her hands; her ability rank is only level three, and at home only Yi Yang has a lower rank than her.

Regarding Ye Xi'an's mistaken self-perception, everyone simultaneously looked shocked, thinking she was being humblebragging, and in unison said, "Where are you weak?!"

They had never seen a female's space be as vast as a world before, nor seen a female able to teleport; if Ye Xi'an like this is still called weak, then these males who rely only on martial might might as well not live.

"An'an, you don't understand yourself enough; maybe you should go out more and learn about females' true abilities."

Bao Jing felt Ye Xi'an had taken too few missions, causing a skewed view of the world, and there were many things he considered common knowledge that she didn't know.

After Bao Jing finished speaking, Ji Jiangci timely asked, "Then when should we go take a mission?"

Everyone instantly looked to Ye Xi'an, wanting her to give a definite mission time so they could prepare.

Ye Xi'an's forehead twitched from being stared at; she truly didn't get why these males were so obsessed with missions—aside from making money, they're useless.

"Let's talk about it later." Ye Xi'an clicked to settle the bill, and she didn't return Ji Jiangci's energy attribute to her, thinking it was useless for her.

Looking at the over four million in her account, Ye Xi'an had a realization: when you have no money, there's nowhere to spend it; when you have plenty, there's always somewhere to spend it, and it's always within one's means.

After placing the renovation order, with the appointment set for afternoon, Ye Xi'an stored everyone's belongings in her space for the crew's convenience, then led them away.

She planned to stay at a hotel for the time being, moving back in after the renovation was done.

By the way, does this renovation have no formaldehyde?

Ji Jiangci answered Ye Xi'an: "Don't worry, Zhu Shen Xing's renovations can already achieve zero pollution; once done, you can move right in."

Mm, that's too blissful~

Ye Xi'an's pink lips excitedly pressed into a thin line, her round cat-eyes now curved, making her look as radiant as a flower.

The males couldn't help but stare, stunned; they usually said Zhu Shen Xing males are generally better-looking than females, but they felt Ye Xi'an was far more attractive than them.

Ye Xi'an casually found a hotel in the Second Ring and spent the whole day lying in bed playing with her Light Brain.

Meanwhile, Ji Jiangci and the others spent all day watching videos on boosting abilities or on beauty skincare, fashion, and makeup—especially Yi Yang, who practically went crazy binge-watching them, and Ye Xi'an would often wake up to find him still glued to the screen.

As for Lin Zhi Jing, he had long lost interest in his Light Brain, but lacking experimental materials for research, he could only boredly buy some books to read.

How boring.

After three days of madly playing match‑three, Ye Xi'an suddenly turned off her Light Brain, her expression dazed as she flipped over and sat cross‑legged on the bed.

Why can someone be so bored they want to die.

The instant Ye Xi'an sat up, Bao Jing turned off his Light Brain, teleported to her side, and, trying to please her, half‑embraced her from behind: "Bored?"

"Mhm." Ye Xi'an stared blankly; if she didn't find something to do she'd die: "I want to watch anime, I want to watch dramas, even short ones would do—but there's nothing."

The only entertainment apps on her Light Brain were makeup, dress‑up, and games.

She didn't like any of them; she really missed her 2D male god.

Bao Jing glanced at Lin Zhi Jing still reading, at Ji Jiangci watching skincare videos, and at Yi Yang practicing the End‑Times Blue Star martial arts manual, gave a sly chuckle, leaned to Ye Xi'an's ear, and breathed warm air onto her neck: "If you're bored, An'an, why not play with me?"

Ye Xi'an's previously heavy, dull nerves twitched; she slowly turned her head to look at Bao Jing, but instead ended up kissing his lips.

Although it was just a light touch, both froze for a moment; at this proximity Ye Xi'an could even make out each of Lin Zhi Jing's eyelashes.

Looking at Bao Jing's high nose bridge and alluring eye corners, a thought never before occurred to her: Bao Jing actually looks pretty fun to play with.

At the very least, he's more fun than the Light Brain.

Seeing Ye Xi'an's reaction, Bao Jing's heart tingled; he teasingly flicked his tongue lightly across her lips, then withdrew and waited honestly for her decision.

"How to play?" Ye Xi'an only needed to lean back slightly to leave his lips, and she asked that.

Her question was casual, but it had already stirred a huge wave in Bao Jing's heart.

Bao Jing suppressed the upturn of his lips, showed his most handsome, enticing angle, and continued to tempt Ye Xi'an: "How about we go open a small room? I have lots of fun things."

This time Ye Xi'an didn't hesitate again; she really wanted to play. Having lived honestly for nearly thirty years, the only outrageous thing she'd done was escape that terrifying white lab during an earthquake.

Okay.

The two said, "Let's do it," took each other's hands, and were about to go out.

"Where are you going?" Lin Zhi Jing put down his book and scanned back and forth between Ye Xi'an and Bao Jing.

Hearing the commotion, Yi Yang and Ji Jiangci also lifted their heads, looking at them: "Are you going out?"

Bao Jing felt no guilt, but Ye Xi'an nervously kept gripping his palm, feeling she was a bit like a husband caught in an affair and being interrogated.

Bao Jing looked at everyone, his breath steady as if not lying: "The room's too small for five people, so I and An'an will go open another room."

Lin Zhi Jing twitched the fingers holding his book, as if thinking he's an idiot; he put the book down and followed up: "Then I'll go with you; it's unsafe for you alone."

Seeing Lin Zhi Jing also want to come along, Ye Xi'an nervously glanced at Bao Jing.

Bao Jing smiled at Ye Xi'an, saying today he'd definitely let her play with him.
