I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 280. Desk Mate
Chapter 280: 280. Desk Mate
The two Yang Mas had only quickly washed their bodies without washing their hair before arriving at Jessica’s room to wait.
The most conspicuous item in the girl’s room was undoubtedly the Xia Language books placed by the bed.
"In the days to come, I also want to learn some Xia Language."
Teresa casually flipped open a copy of the "History Records" and glanced at it.
Jessica curiously asked, "You have free time now?"
"The rest of my life belongs to me."
Teresa smiled brightly like an orchid, then added, "Mother has promised."
"Eh..."
Jessica’s gaze flickered, faintly feeling that the lady didn’t seem like the type to let her daughter be free.
At that moment, the sound of something speeding through the air came from outside the window, causing the glass to tremble nonstop.
Following that, Lu Li entered the room, his whole person radiating happiness.
Jessica lifted her foot towards him and asked with a smile, "Got some good news?"
Lu Li helped the young girl take off her high heels and stockings, revealing a pair of long, white legs, and said:
"I have become stronger again... Teresa is here, let’s speak Fran Language."
Hearing her name brought up, Teresa sincerely said:
"Lu Li, thank you for your protection all this time. Without you, my mother and I couldn’t have made it to this day."
Lu Li replied with a smile, "No need to be so formal. You’re a good girl; I’m very happy to serve."
Initially, it was just a union of interests, but later on, he found that the girl wasn’t bad and was worth getting to know better.
At this moment, Jessica suddenly pounced on Teresa, pinning her down on the bed and shouted:
"Stop thanking each other already, hurry up~ I want to see the Eagle destroy the Golden Canary~"
~~~~~~
This breakthrough in Refining the Soul and Soul Emergence had Lu Li carrying too many memories and pressure, and he was indeed a bit weary in spirit.
He rarely slept in, and didn’t get up until the sun was high the next day.
The two Yang Mas were exhausted and still in deep sleep.
Lu Li picked up his phone and saw that it was already 10 a.m.
There were hundreds of unread messages on the phone, all greetings from Xia Country.
Some were from professors and scholars like You Qianping, Wei Wenqi, Liu Jiang, and there were also some from family and friends with whom he had lost touch.
News that Lu Li was on good terms with the president and had started a military company had reached back home, so naturally, many people wanted to connect and get close to him.
Lu Li didn’t pay much attention and set down the phone to walk over to the window.
It was June now, and the rainy season in Mexico City had arrived, with overcast skies.
His gaze condensed slightly, and a bright white Light Ball emerged from his forehead.
His Divine Soul emerged once again, and after a night’s rest, it seemed much more solid, and the Light Ball was even brighter.
At the same time, the Kunlun Mirror began to move again, continuing to expand his Sea of Consciousness. Naturally, Lu Li’s Cultivation began to grow once more.
He turned his attention to his own Treasure Mirror.
The 50 units of Spirit Mechanism had been refined completely, but the five holes in the mirror’s body had hardly improved, with just the edges of the gaps becoming slightly smoother.
Lu Li frowned, "Based on this rate, to fully heal, at least... 50,000 units of Spirit Mechanism will be needed!
The Jiushan Sect had accumulated only 20 units over a few hundred years; 50,000 is like an astronomical number, and that’s the bare minimum.
But there’s no way around it; the Kunlun Mirror is such a Divine Item, and the five holes are injuries through and through + damaged, so the required amount is undoubtedly substantial.
Then, Lu Li thought, "If there’s not enough Spirit Mechanism, what about the Spirit?
Spirit is the ’food,’ the ’supply’ for a Magic Treasure.
With a wave of his hand, he poured half of it into the Kunlun Mirror on the spot, making the little flying sword next door envious.
Unfortunately, even the spirit of someone in the Soul Emergence Realm was nothing to a Divine Item like the Kunlun Mirror.
At best, it might take a few hundred years to heal one hole... too slow.
"Looks like I really need to search for Spirit Mechanism on Blue Star..."
As he was pondering, Jessica stretched and woke up; Lu Li quickly had his Soul Returning.
"Darling, you’re so strong~"
She hopped over from the bed to touch Lu Li’s abs, also waking up Teresa next to her.
"Good morning."
Teresa sat up, covering her mouth and yawning.
Her complexion was so much better than last night, with her skin and hair even more lustrous.
Jessica experienced the same effect, her body’s vitality was completely stimulated.
This was because a trace of Spirit Mechanism had infused into her with Lu Li’s bodily fluids.
Though it was only an insignificant amount, it had an immediate and profound impact on the two girls.
Teresa picked up her phone, glanced at it, and was visibly startled. She began to dress at once.
"I need to submit an entry application to Xia Country’s Embassy today... Lu Li, are you sure you’re not going?"
"I’d rather not."
Lu Li shook his head lightly and said, "My propensity for violence is too strong, I do not wish to spoil the fond memories in my mind."
"Is that so..."
Teresa seemed to understand but also felt a twinge of regret.
Just then, Jessica’s phone rang.
Being the CEO of Divine Dragon Company, it was normal for her to be busy.
But upon answering, Jessica’s expression turned to surprise:
"Hello, Professor Qian Ping. Yes... ok... please hold on."
After listening for a while, Jessica turned to Lu Li and said:
"It’s someone from your hometown, requesting help through Professor Qian Ping."
Qian Ping was a man of measure, he had previously helped develop the "calming essential oil" and his request carried some weight.
Lu Li took the phone and said, "I’ll talk to him."
Seeing this, Teresa no longer hurried to leave. She finished dressing and listened quietly.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Professor Qian, long time no see."
[Lu Li, congratulations on your successful career. There’s a matter... do you remember He Jing?]
Qian Ping’s voice was serious, and he quickly reminded, [She was your deskmate.]
"He Jing, I remember her. What’s happened?"
Lu Li certainly remembered his deskmate of six years, whose Jintai Breath and Soul Emergence he had seen in his memories, a rare warmth in his life.
[It’s like this... He Jing has been missing for a month]
Qian Ping delivered some distressing news:
[She was deceived into going to North Myanmar, and there has been no word from her. Until the day before yesterday, her parents received a ransom video, with someone demanding 300,000 for He Jing’s life. I’ll send you the video.]
The video was sent over immediately, and Lu Li opened it to see.
The main character was a very familiar-looking chubby girl, none other than his old deskmate, being restrained and having one of her fingers cut off with a knife...
The video ended with a blood-curdling scream, and Qian Ping continued:
[He Jing is an only child. Her parents immediately sold their house to pay the ransom, but the kidnappers still won’t release her.]
[They’re really out of options, and when they thought of your military company, they asked me to speak to you, hoping you could help rescue her.]
Lu Li also knew He Jing’s parents, having eaten at her home during elementary school.
So he didn’t hesitate to agree: "North Myanmar, is it? Send me all the details."
[That’s wonderful! I’ll send them right now.]
Relief sounded over the phone from Qian Ping, who then asked:
[By the way, about the fee...]
"Let’s talk about that later, rescue comes first."
His response clearly meant he didn’t intend to charge, and Qian Ping showed his respect:
[Then on behalf of He Jing’s family, I thank you!]
Professor Qian Ping traveled abroad often and had a certain level of sophistication.
He knew the cost of such a rescue mission was high and the risks great; Lu Li was offering his help based on past camaraderie.
Of course, he could also collect some souls along the way.
Once the matter was settled, the conversation ended.
Immediately, Qian Ping announced in the local group chat:
[Lu Li has agreed to help.]
People like Wei Wenqi in the group responded with messages:
[That’s a relief; such matters need to be handled by professionals.]
[A fine young girl lured to such a place, I hope they can save her.]
[It’s doubtful, it’s been such a long time already...]
