Zuoqiu Xunshuang felt assured. “That’s good then. We’re about to head off. Bye.”
Then, she quickly ended the call.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang already disappeared, but the living room remained silent.
Nangong Jing, Lu Li, Lin Ling, and Alice, seemingly angry, all glared at Lu Ze
‘It was a cosmic system state lair after all!’
There would be more than one or two cosmic system state insectoids. But now, Ying Ying just fell asleep. Without any preparations, the Human Race would suffer heavy losses.
“This was no joking matter!’
However, knowing him, they knew that he wouldn’t consider the situation as something trivial.
Hence, they were waiting for Lu Ze’s explanation.
Lu Ze reached out his hand and rubbed Lin Ling’s face. “Hehe, I’ll show you guys a big treasure!”
Nangong Jing and the girls finally felt relieved. They knew Lu Ze wouldn’t play around regarding this.
Lin Ling slapped away his hand and glared at him.
Lu Ze urged, “Let’s go to Ying Ying’s room.”
These two items were too precious.
Ying Ying’s room was filled with starlight. They didn’t need to worry about being spied on.
Nangong Jing and the girls agreed.
Lu Li asked, “Lu Ze, what treasure is it?”
Lu Ze responded, “I gave you guys some one-time-runes before, right?”
Nangong Jing and the girls nodded. Lin Ling inquired, “Did you get a higher level one-time-use divine art rune?”
Lu Ze kissed Lin Ling and smiled. “Lin Ling is really smart!”
Lin Ling blushed, and he sensed murderous glances from nearby. His smile stiffened.
He forgot all of them were in the room.
‘Not good!
He quickly took out a silver arc rune and changed the topic. “I’m telling you, this is a cosmic system state one-time attack rune! Its power reached the peak cosmic system state, approaching the cosmic cloud state!”
Thereafter, he took out another silver crystal. “This insectoid lair had a level reaching the cosmic system state. Maybe the cosmic system state divine art rune wouldn’t be useful, but there’s a cosmic cloud state beast in the crystal here. If we summon it, the lair won’t be able to stop it.”
“Cosmic cloud state?!”
Nangong Jing and the girls were taken aback as they looked at the crystal in shock.
They guessed Lu Ze would have some trump card but didn’t expect it to be a cosmic cloud state.
Lu Li questioned, “Don’t tell me you got this from that god art of yours?”
Lu Ze confirmed, “Yes.”
The girls: “…” ‘What sort of god art was that?’
‘Why did it have everything?’
It could even create a cosmic cloud state summoning crystals.
They were very curious, but since Lu Ze said nothing, they wouldn’t ask either.
At this moment, Lin Ling looked suspiciously at Qiuyue Hesha. “Sister Hesha, why aren’t you surprised at all? This is a cosmic cloud state treasure though.”
Qiuyue Hesha felt stunned by the sudden question, but she still smiled. “I’m very shocked.”
Qiuyue Hesha was elated deep inside her heart. The other girls weren’t aware of what the secret was, but only she knew.
Nangong Jing’s eyes narrowed. She probed, “You wouldn’t know something, would you, Fox demon?”
The two had been fighting for more than a decade. They could deeply understand each other well.
Then, Nangong Jing looked at Lu Ze. His face appeared innocent.
He hoped to take them to the Pocket Hunting Dimension too. Of course…
But!
He wouldn’t say the requirement. After all, it was better for him to let ‘it’ happen naturally.
Qiuyue Hesha looked at Nangong Jing in confusion. “What would I know?”
Nangong Jing and the girls looked at each other. They thought Qiuyue Hesha was right.
‘What could she possibly know?’
Hence, Lin Ling smiled. “Since Ze has these two trump cards, we don’t need to worry anymore.”
Nangong Jing grinned. “I wonder what that lair is like?”
Everyone was curious. Lu Ze smiled. “We’ll be able to see it in a few days.”
Nangong Jing and the group nodded.
Following such, everyone returned to their rooms to cultivate.
The insectoid lair would need some time to reach its destination.
Lu Ze thought about it. He would be able to complete a breakthrough in two days, but he decided to delay it.
That phenomenon would attract the insectoids. They would surely rush over and arrive in just two days as well.
Lu Ze was only going to cultivate today and take a break tomorrow.
After a day of cultivation, Lu Ze came out and saw that Alice did prepare a table of food for him.
When lunch was finished, they returned to their rooms for another period of cultivation.
Soon, it was already night.
Lu Ze’s mouth twitched. This wasn’t good…
His progress was faster than he had calculated.
He couldn’t cultivate anymore right now. If not, he would trigger a breakthrough.
Lu Ze looked outside, only to discover a lot of ships were landing. In space, the spirit force fluctuations became more frequent.
The battle appeared very intense.
Lu Ze frowned. He had to check the situation with his mental force.
There were much more insectoids than before, currently.
There were quite some star state insectoids too.
Simultaneously, the human side also got some reinforcements. Advantage seemed to favor their side.
Lu Ze walked out of the room and heard Nangong Jing admonishing, “No! Not letting you drink! Don’t be like a kid, okay?!” Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s bitter voice could also be heard. “Jing Jing, I’m your mother. You didn’t even tell me you had such a good wine. Jing Jing doesn’t love mommy anymore.”
Lu Ze: “???”
He walked into the living room and saw Nangong Jing holding a wine bottle and looking exasperated on the couch while Zuoqiu Xunshuang was trying to take it away from her.
Qiuyue Hesha watched the two as though they were idiots.
Lu Ze: “…”
‘Is Aunty Xunshuang really an adult?’
He coughed.
The two immediately stopped in their tracks. Zuoqiu Xunshuang waved at him. “Ze, you finished cultivation?”
She looked at Lu Ze like nothing had happened.
Lu Ze laughed it off. “Yes, Aunty Xunshuang, when did you arrive?”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang grinned. “Recently.”
Then, she looked at her daughter. “Jing Jing isn’t even willing to share some of her wine with me!”
Nangong Jing exclaimed, “I have very few golden fruit wine left in my collection!”
Lu Ze rubbed his temples. “Aunty Xunshuang, I’ll give you some later.” Zuoqiu Xunshuang’s eyes lit up. “Really?” She ran to Lu Ze and patted his shoulder. “My son-in-law is better. Daughters are completely useless.”
Nangong Jing: “???”
Nangong Jing glared at Lu Ze and said nothing.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang studied Lu Ze and nodded happily. “It seems you’re about to make a breakthrough to the star state?”
Lu Ze nodded in confirmation. “I can do a breakthrough tomorrow, but because of the insectoid lair, I’m planning to delay it a few days.”
Zuoqiu Xunshuang cleared her throat. “This kid is complaining he is breaking through too fast?!’
This hurts…
She quickly shifted the subject. “By the way, where is Ying Ying?”
