Chapter 1231 Before leaving
Looking at Ye Bing's ever-changing expression, sometimes chuckling, sometimes frowning, sometimes looking depressed, Ye Ge couldn't help but tilt his head and wonder to himself: What is this girl thinking about now?
"In short, everyone should be prepared when we get back this time."
Ye Ge smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, if we really end up on opposite sides and meet on the battlefield, I will definitely order someone to capture you alive."
"Hmph, I am the one who is right." Ye Bing crossed her arms and turned her head away: "My men will capture you alive and bring you to me. Then I will personally use the cruelest instruments of torture to punish you until you cry and beg for mercy, submit at my feet and say 'Queen, I will listen to you from now on'!"
Ye Ge looked surprised: "You're playing this high-stakes game?"
"..." Ye Bing's cheeks suddenly flushed red, and she suddenly realized that her words were slightly ambiguous: "Anyway, just wait and see, once you fall into my hands, you're finished."
"Alright, if you have the ability," Yege said, "then I'll be going now?"
"Hmm..." Ye Bing finally turned around and looked at him with a complicated expression.
For some reason, she felt a pang of sadness and a sense of reluctance.
She feared that this parting might mean their next meeting would be on the battlefield...
"So, before you leave, shall I give you the things I didn't give you on the rooftop last time?" Ye Ge suddenly asked again.
Ye Bing was stunned: "The thing you didn't give me on the rooftop last time?... Hmm!?"
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Ge stepped forward, opened his arms, and gently embraced her.
Ye Bing: (°ー°〃)!
A few seconds later, Ye Ge released her grip and took a step back.
Ye Bing remained rooted to the spot, completely stunned, her face blank with disbelief, as if her computer had crashed.
Several seconds passed before she snapped out of her daze. Her cheeks and ears instantly flushed red. She was both ashamed and angry, and could barely speak. Her face was burning as she said, "Who...who...who gave you permission to hug this queen?!"
Ye Ge chuckled, "Last time we parted on the rooftop, I gave Yan Ji a hug but didn't give you one. Didn't you regret it afterwards? This time, I'll make it up to you."
"Who said I regretted it!? You filthy scoundrel..." Ye Bing was so angry that her right hand instantly condensed into a ball of dark magic, and she was about to smash it, but Ye Ge had already disappeared without a trace in a flash.
"Hmph, you're lucky you ran fast."
Ye Bing pursed her lips and dissipated the magic in her hand.
But after a short while, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, revealing a smile that she herself was unaware of.
"You lecher, don't let me catch you again..."
......
The headquarters of a gene company, in a deep underground laboratory.
The piercing screams continued to emanate from inside, sending chills down one's spine.
"Ah ...
A flash of intense energy projected the struggling silhouette of a person onto the laboratory wall.
The intense energy flashes cast distorted, struggling shadows on the cold metal walls of the laboratory.
Sima Qing slumped in a specially designed experimental chair, his head tightly encased in a high-tech helmet covered with wires and interfaces. His heart, lungs, back, and dantian, among other critical areas, were also filled with various tubes and sensors, connecting him to several massive instruments around him.
Normally, he would calmly observe the experimental "samples" being tested in this chair, but today he himself became the person in the chair.
"Hah...hah...cough..." Sima Qing gasped for breath, his clothes already soaked through with cold sweat and clinging to his skin.
The process of repairing his soul was far more painful than he had imagined...
"Karl," he gasped, his voice hoarse, "how is he?"
Carl stood quietly to one side, holding a tablet in his hand. He quickly swiped his fingers across it a few times, then glanced at the constantly changing data on the main screen next to him.
[Spiritual integrity: 57%]
“It’s not going well,” Carl said. “The damage to the soul is deeper than expected, and it’s extremely difficult to repair. It seems that completing the spiritual restoration will be even more difficult than imagined.”
But this seems quite normal.
If the wounds of the soul were so easy to heal, the Four Sacred Beasts and the Four Ferocious Beasts would not be in their current state.
Moreover, Sima Qing had half of his soul completely burned away by the Holy Spirit's true fire!
"The self-repair of the soul often requires hundreds or even thousands of years."
Carl stated objectively, "Even if we intervened with the most advanced technology, it would be unlikely to recover so quickly."
"...We don't have that much time." Sima Qing raised his hands, looking at his palms, his vision blurred.
"Having lost half of my soul, I'm not just experiencing a reduction in soul power; my soul power strength, efficiency, recovery speed, and mental strength will all be significantly diminished..."
His eyes swirled with a sinister and deep-seated resentment: "I never imagined that even in the mental space, I would still be ambushed by Ye Ge..."
This time, not only was half of his soul burned away.
Even the "Heavenly Dao Pattern Stone" was used up at the last moment.
That was originally intended to be used as the final means to fuse the power of the demons and gods, and to summon the ultimate demon god.
Sima Qing's eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness, and a tearing pain surged from the depths of his soul, causing him to let out another painful howl: "Night Song... Ahh ...
This soul-body pain, originating from the very essence of the soul, is completely unpredictable and erupts at irregular intervals.
That feeling was ten thousand times more intense than any kind of physical pain!
Seeing this, Karl immediately pressed a button on the wall. A thick, dark red, almost black liquid was then injected into Sima Qing's body through a tube in his back. Sima Qing's tense body gradually relaxed, his breathing calmed slightly, but his face remained deathly pale.
“Forcing a repair will only worsen your pain; please don’t push yourself too hard,” Karl cautioned.
Sima Qing, having caught his breath, raised his head again, his eyes terrifyingly gloomy: "With my current soul power, let alone summoning three twelfth-tier ferocious beasts and ghosts, I can't even summon an eleventh-tier ghost... Even the spiritual connection with the Taotie Ancestor is currently intermittent..."
Karl pondered for a moment, then reported another piece of bad news: "The plan has failed, and the hostility of all races towards the company has reached its peak."
"Employees have reported that the headquarters of our branch in the Western Dragon Kingdom on the Western Continent has been completely destroyed by the Black Dragon King's men; our main branches on the Southern and Northern Continents have also been severely damaged; and our chambers of commerce operating in various locations are facing a full-scale boycott..."
"Chambers of commerce in various regions have been vandalized, looted, and burned. Currently, all of the company's businesses across the Wanzu map have come to a standstill, and all trade has ceased."
“It’s alright…” Sima Qing’s face was pale, and although his voice was weak, it carried a hint of stubbornness. “The money we have saved up is enough to get through this war. As long as we win the final victory in this war, we can make up for all the losses we have suffered.”
“But you are like this now…” Karl paused for a moment, “The current situation is probably very unfavorable for us.”
Sima Qing: "At least for now, the Zerg, the Sea Clan, the Holy Elves, and the Fallen Angels are still under the company's control. Cang Ting and Rakshasa also have considerable influence among the Eastern Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan."
Karl: "The Fallen Angel Queen Ye Bing, this time..."
Sima Qing was silent for a while, then said, "Help me reconnect to the fallen angel; I need to talk to her."
