The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 264: The Fusion of Spiritual Power Makes Ruan Ruan Seem About to Reveal Her True Form
Musse Star, Lu Shinian was once again busy with the mining veins.
After learning from Su Ruan that Your Majesty was on Musse Star, Lu Shinian sent a message to Qi Chen and Zong Yan, telling them not to search for Your Majesty in secret anymore.
As for when Your Majesty would return to the Imperial Palace, Lu Shinian wasn’t concerned. As long as he was temporarily safe, there was nothing to worry about.
Lu Shinian focused on the mining operations.
This mining vein was filled entirely with Level 5 Energy Stones. Although the impurity content in the Energy Stones was quite high, reaching up to 90%, they were still rare and high-level Energy Stones.
Lu Shinian took two pieces and gave them to Su Ruan.
Su Ruan put them away, planning to purify them when she felt spiritually invigorated.
For her current level, the impurity content of a Level 5 Energy Stone was still quite high, so she couldn’t purify it in one go and usually needed to complete it in three sessions.
A few days later, after purifying both Level 5 Energy Stones, Su Ruan returned them to Lu Shinian.
When Lu Shinian received the two Level 5 pure Energy Stones, he was momentarily stunned and let out a helpless chuckle.
"Ruan Ruan, when I gave you the Level 5 Energy Stones, it wasn’t to have you purify them,"
Su Ruan looked at him puzzled, "Wasn’t it?"
She thought he wanted her to purify the two Level 5 Energy Stones.
Lu Shinian shook his head, taking Su Ruan’s small hand with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"I couldn’t bear to let Ruan Ruan work so hard."
Su Ruan pointed to the two pure Energy Stones, "But if there were more Level 5 pure Energy Stones, it might ease the conditions of those in your corps experiencing the Ancestral Stage, right?"
"Yes." Lu Shinian responded softly.
He seemed to understand what Su Ruan was thinking and tightened his grip on her hand slightly.
"Ruan Ruan is such a little fool."
Su Ruan: ...
Those words could have been left unsaid.
"I’m not silly." Su Ruan countered, squeezing Lu Shinian’s hand, "I’ve actually been thinking a lot recently."
"My spiritual power is special and can purify Energy Stones. Could this be a kind of destiny?"
"Maybe I could save many people who would otherwise undergo complete beastification."
Lu Shinian’s eyes darkened slightly, "Ruan Ruan, I don’t believe in fate."
He didn’t believe in any destiny; he only knew that everything needed to be in one’s own hands.
"Ruan Ruan’s spiritual power is special not to save those High Spiritual Power Users."
"Solving the impurity issues of Energy Stones is a mission for the entire Federation, not a responsibility for you alone, Ruan Ruan."
He seemed to be heartbroken as he pulled Su Ruan into his arms, "Ruan Ruan doesn’t need to bear such great pressure and burden."
"It’s easy to say but..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Su Ruan leaned against Lu Shinian’s chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.
"I just want to give you a little help."
"Ruan Ruan, occasionally, when you’re in the mood, help me purify one or two Energy Stones. That’s a huge help already." Lu Shinian gently ran his fingers through Su Ruan’s hair.
"What about your Ancestral Stage then? Should I purify a couple more and keep them with me?" Su Ruan asked further.
Lu Shinian chuckled softly, "As long as Ruan Ruan is happy, and besides..."
He sighed helplessly, "My Ancestral Stage isn’t entirely due to the impurity content in the Energy Stones."
Su Ruan wasn’t surprised; she had already suspected as much, given how frequently Lu Shinian experienced Ancestral Stage and how it seemed easily affected by his emotions.
She looked up, jokingly saying, "It looks like we both have something unusual about us."
"Hmm, a perfect match then." Lu Shinian picked up on her words.
"I came to Musse Star this time and didn’t even catch up with Da Hu to see how her spiritual sea is doing." Su Ruan muttered, "If her spiritual sea can recover, then..."
That wouldn’t be something Lu Shinian and she could determine subjectively.
"I asked Qi Chen," Lu Shinian sat down with Su Ruan, "Da Hu’s condition has recently improved, and there has been some recovery in her originally withered spiritual sea."
"But whether it can fully recover is still unknown."
Su Ruan nodded, "Then I’ll have a chat with her when I go back."
As she spoke, the feelers of her spiritual power emerged, playfully poking Lu Shinian on the arm.
Her control over her spiritual power had advanced greatly; she could perform small actions like poking now.
Lu Shinian felt Su Ruan’s spiritual power and let a wisp of his own entwine with hers.
This fusion of spiritual power induced a shiver in both of them, indescribably piercing from their cores to their hearts, then quickly coursing through their whole bodies, making it impossible to ignore.
Even though they had merged their spiritual powers many times before, each time left Su Ruan longing for more.
This sensation was strange, almost as if their spiritual powers were conscious, drawing them to each other—a pull they, as the hosts, couldn’t control.
Fortunately, neither rejected this attraction.
After holding each other for a while, Lu Shinian received a communication and left again.
Su Ruan felt that Lu Shinian was getting busier, while she had more leisure time.
Luckily, she had things to do in the Second World.
Su Ruan entered the Second World, learning about Mecha, and occasionally matched for a couple of games.
Recently, however, she hadn’t encountered anyone with the name [AQE], not even Ian, who hadn’t been online lately for some reason.
She knew no one else and engaged in random matches each day.
Fortunately, the people in the Second World were not weak, and she was improving rapidly.
Su Ruan believed that, facing Lu Shinian now, she would definitely last two or three moves against him!
As for anything beyond that, well... probably not.
Su Ruan genuinely wanted to have a good fight with Lu Shinian; maybe the opportunity would arise in the future.
She decided she must strive to become stronger so she could withstand more rounds against Lu Shinian.
With this thought, Su Ruan decided to intensify her training.
For several days, Su Ruan immersed herself in the Second World.
Every night when Lu Shinian returned, she would insist on a round of spiritual power fusion before going to sleep contentedly.
And Lu Shinian had no choice but to take a cold shower.
A few days later, Su Ruan suddenly felt some itchiness on her scalp, and when she touched it, she found two small bumps.
She tried scratching them lightly, but aside from some itchiness, she felt nothing else.
She thought she might have accidentally scratched her head while sleeping, causing a small bump, and paid it no mind.
But on the night before leaving Musse Star when Su Ruan was once again entangling with Lu Shinian during spiritual power fusion, her head felt itchier.
She reached up and scratched.
"What’s wrong?" Lu Shinian asked.
Su Ruan softly replied, "It feels a bit itchy. Brother Lu, can you take a look for me?"
As she spoke, she leaned her head toward him.
Lu Shinian lowered his gaze, parting the strands of her black hair, following in the direction of Su Ruan’s pointing finger...
