The ordeal went on until midnight, and Lu Qing's voice was long gone.
But Gu Xicheng seemed to be obsessed with Qingqing's hoarse voice, and all he could think about was bullying her to the extreme, showing no intention of letting her go.
Back when Gu Xicheng was just an ordinary person, Lu Qing probably would have already used magic to escape.
But ever since Gu Xicheng acquired the divine bone and regained his divine power, he has made thorough preparations for every task he undertakes.
Not only could Lu Qing not escape, but she was also bewitched by Gu Xicheng's every trick in the book and succumbed to his charms.
Before we knew it, it was almost dawn.
Gu Xicheng finally ended the battle, cleaned up the traces of the fight, and then fell asleep holding Lu Qing.
The price of cultivating dual cultivation for so long was that Lu Qing missed all her classes that morning.
I slept until 1 p.m. before waking up.
She opened her eyes and saw that it was 1:00 PM on her phone, which startled her so much that she immediately sat up.
"Oh no! I skipped class!"
Gu Xicheng reached out and pulled the person back, comforting them:
"Don't worry, I had your roommate ask your homeroom teacher for leave for you last night, so you don't need to go to school today."
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down.
Looking at Gu Xicheng, who was burying his face in the crook of her neck, she angrily grabbed his hair and tugged it a few times.
"asshole!"
Gu Xicheng smiled indulgently: "Alright, alright! I'm a jerk!"
"Are you hungry? Do you want to sleep a little longer or eat?"
Lu Qing sighed, looking exhausted, and said, "Let me take a nap a little longer!"
"good!"
The two slept for another hour or so, but finally got up because they were so hungry.
Fortunately, Gu Xicheng didn't forget to help Lu Qing circulate her cultivation technique even in that situation. After waking up, the two found that their strength had increased significantly.
Gu Xicheng ordered takeout and had it delivered to his home.
After dinner, Lu Qing was reading in the study when Gu Xicheng asked Wang Dalong to schedule a video conference for him.
In the study, Lu Qing took out all the ancient books she had brought from Yutai Mountain.
She wanted to learn more about the Pure Mysterious Pearl.
It took Lu Qing two whole hours to glean some information from the ancient books scattered all over the place.
In the past, the Queen Mother of the West condensed the Pure Pearl with the Mysterious Ice Dew and the spiritual energy of the heavens, with the original intention of purifying the filth of the human world.
Legend has it that long, long ago, the Queen Mother of the West descended to the mortal world and encountered an ancient city on her way.
Seeing the chaos in the city, he created the Pure Mysterious Pearl.
When the Pure Pearl appeared, the clouds in all directions stirred, and the world became clear and bright. It not only purified the filth of the people in the city, but also made that city a sacred place that immortals often visited.
Then the Queen Mother of the West gave the Pure Pearl to a pure-hearted girl and ordered her to carry the pearl and travel to the four corners of the world.
Wherever she went, the mountains and rivers were clear and the wind was gentle and the moon was bright.
But as time passed, the girl felt her life was coming to an end, so she returned to the city and sealed the bead inside her body, waiting for a destined person to come and unlock it again.
However, the destined person did not arrive, and the Pure Pearl transformed into human form and left the city on its own initiative.
This matches what I said.
Jingxuanzhu entered the underworld, was reincarnated as a human, and her fate is unknown.
Lu Qing put down the book and rubbed his temples.
After searching for so long, I still haven't found the whereabouts of the Pure Mystic Pearl.
But there is one piece of information that might be useful.
The Pure Pearl had been with that girl for decades. If it were in the human world, it might be with the girl's reincarnation.
The girl's name is Xi Yao.
It's hard to find the reincarnation of Jingxuanzhu, but the reincarnation of Xiyao should be found in the Book of Life and Death in the underworld.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing immediately cast a spell to communicate with the judge of the underworld.
"Lu Qing, what business do you have with me?"
"Lord Judge Lu, I have a favor to ask of you, please help me!"
"What is it? Please speak!"
Lu Qing gave a brief account of how the Wrathful King had harmed humanity, and then recounted the story of the Pure Mysterious Pearl.
"I want to find the reincarnation of Xi Yao. Could you please help me find out?"
Judge Lu: "This can be checked, but the underworld system is undergoing an upgrade today, so you'll have to wait a few days until the upgrade is complete."
Lu Qing nodded: "It's alright, I'll wait a few days. Thank you, Judge Lu!"
Judge Lu nodded slightly and then left.
Outside, Gu Xicheng's meeting had also ended.
"Qingqing, I just sensed something unusual. What happened?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Lu Qing: "I summoned Judge Lu of the Underworld. I want to find out the whereabouts of the Pure Pearl."
Gu Xicheng: "Is there any progress?"
Lu Qing shook his head:
"The underworld system is being upgraded, so it won't be too late for a few days."
"It's alright, there's no rush."
"My parents' friend went deep-sea fishing abroad and caught some seafood, which was flown back by plane for us to try. Would you like to come?"
Lu Qing nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
"Let's change our clothes and go!"
"Um!"
Dinner was at the Gu family's house, and after dinner, Gu Xicheng took Lu Qing back to school.
After a few days of rest, Liu Changfeng began assigning them new tasks, and the entire dormitory plunged into data calculation once again.
Time flies when you're studying; five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Qing had been thinking about the food festival, and completed all the tasks for the second day on the first day.
On the first day of the food festival, Lu Qing gathered everyone and headed straight to the venue.
They arrived at 9:30, but the place was already packed with people.
Fortunately, the venue was large enough, and although there were many people, it wasn't too crowded and was also very clean.
Many food bloggers set up their cameras and started filming, each talking their own story, making the noise louder than the hawkers' cries at the market.
Lu Qing visited each stall and ordered one of everything available.
Gu Xicheng could barely lift it all with both hands.
"Qingqing, I see there's a table over there. Let's find a place to sit and eat!" Gu Fei said.
"You guys go ahead, I'll come over when this takoyaki is ready."
"good!"
A group of people carrying their belongings sat down in the rest area and divided into two tables.
Ten minutes later, Lu Qing finally got the fist-sized takoyaki she had been longing for.
She ate while looking for her companions.
Suddenly, a girl who was filming bumped into her, and the meatball in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.
The girl quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Miss, are you alright?"
Lu Qing, with a bitter face, pointed to the food that had fallen on the ground and said:
"I'm fine, but my takoyaki is in trouble!"
"I waited a full ten minutes, and I've only just taken one bite!"
The girl looked apologetic: "I'm so sorry, miss, I'll buy you another one right now."
Lu Qing sighed, "Forget it! There are too many people!"
Although I'm a little disappointed, they didn't do it on purpose, so what can I do?
Let's just silently mourn for Takoyaki for three seconds!
But to Lu Qing's surprise, a dozen minutes later, the girl found her with a plate of freshly made takoyaki.
"Miss, here's your compensation!"
Lu Qing paused for a moment, then looked at the girl's face, which was covered in sweat from waiting in line for so long, and couldn't help but smile:
"Didn't I say I didn't need it?"
"I bumped into you, so I should compensate you."
The girl's smile was radiant, like a gentle spring breeze.
Lu Qing felt a sense of goodwill towards the girl, but noticing the dark look on her face, he offered a word of advice:
"I see you're all alone. Remember to go home early this afternoon. It's not safe to walk alone at night."
