Chapter 202 - Outer Space Hotpot, Graduating from Being Single
When they saw the giant moon, both Ling Jiu and Bai Ya exclaimed.
"This is... Jupiter!"
Of the eight planets of the solar system, the ones that one could recognize at a glance was first Earth and followed straight by Saturn and Jupiter.
The characteristics of these three planets were just too obvious!
"Since that is Jupiter, isn't the planet we are standing on now Jupiter's moon?"
Bai Ya whispered. "With the hundred-kilometer-deep ocean, that is to say, this is Jupiter's second moon, Europa?"
"It's very likely!"
Ling Jiu nodded. "The scientists had speculated that the Ganymede is a satellite covered with thick ice, with a liquid ocean beneath the ice."
"Europa!"
Bai Ya was shocked. "We've just went through a wormhole and a layer of glass and we went all the way from Mars to Europa? Unbelievable!"
"It is indeed incredible!"
Ling Jiu nodded, and then said. "Let's look around?"
"Yeah!"
Bai Ya nodded vigorously.
Ling Jiu held her petite hand as the two strolled on the surface of Europa.
Above their heads was the colorful Jupiter, and beneath their feet was an endless ice plain. Looking up they could see the other moons of Jupiter, and the bright starry sky. The scene was indeed very romantic.
After a long walk, both of them got a little hungry, and Ling Jiu suggested to eat hotpot here and Bai Ya agreed.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Jiu formed a miniature dimension. The two entered the space, taking out pots, pans, ladles and dishes, and got busy.
Before long, a seductive scent drifted in within the miniature dimension.
At this moment, Bai Ya showed her playful side. She did not rush to eat, but instead took several photos with her mobile phone.
Of Jupiter overhead.
Of the dishes on the table.
And the boiling soup.
After taking the photos, only did she start eating contentedly.
"Why don't you take a photo of me?"
Ling Jiu smiled and teased.
"These are photos I'm posting to my Moments, why should I take a photo of you?"
Bai Ya said with some snark.
Ling Jiu frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy. "Aren't we two a couple now?"
"You're saying?" Bai Ya snorted lightly.
"So, what do I have to do to make it count?" Ling Jiu licked his lips.
"No idea." Bai Ya lowered her head.
"Does this count?"
Ling Jiu sniggered and suddenly pounced as he pulled Bai Ya into his arms and planted his lips onto hers...
"AH---!!"
...
It was better for him to act fast after meeting a good girl.
Especially when the girl did not seem to dislike you, act as fast as you can, so the chances of you getting her would be very high!
This was Ling Jiu's experience in his previous life!
Bai Ya was undoubtedly a good girl. Although she was proud and cold, it was just on the surface. Beneath that was a kind and gentle heart.
When she did not approve of you, she would be cold and distant, but when you walked into her heart, she would be even more enthusiastic, loyal and courageous than any ordinary women.
Ling Jiu felt like he had struck gold. After finishing the hotpot, Bai Ya asked to take a close photo with him, and then sent it to her Moments.
The content was like this:
This iceberg had finally become an ice cream in your hands...
Clearly, she had officially regarded Ling Jiu as her boyfriend.
And she had made their relationship official.
Look!
She was such a woman, stubborn and inflexible, but when she made up her mind, she would become very courageous and decisive.
With Bai Ya already doing that, how could Ling Jiu not follow up. He asked Bai Ya to send him the photo and uploaded it to his own Moments.
The content was like this:
"You talk like I came complementarily with the prepaid value."
Bai Ya pouted, clearly a little unhappy.
"Hahaha!! Of course not!"
Ling Jiu laughed out loud as he sat her on his l.a.p and started nibbling at her again.
...
In Mainland Australia.
After a busy day, Yang Ling'er and Ai Yuhe returned to the airship to rest. The two simply had some jerky and then each took a bath and went to bed.
As they were all girls, and close friends at that, both of them shared a bed. At this moment, Ai Yuhe was swiping through her Moments.
As she swiped, Ai Yuhe suddenly froze, and then sighed faintly.
"What's wrong, Sister He?"
Yang Ling'er asked in confusion.
"Have a look yourself."
Ai Yuhe passed her phone over and as Yang Ling'er picked the phone up suspiciously, she saw Ling Jiu's Moments:
This prepaid value did not disappoint me. All of the ladies lining behind can disperse now. /funny face/funny face/funny face
And following that were several photos.
Yang Ling tapped open the photos and looked through all of them, not knowing what to say. It was indeed a happy thing that her brother was no longer single, but Sister He..."
"That girl seems to be Bai Ya from Tianwei Preparatory Camp?" Ai Yuhe said softly.
"Seems like it!"
Yang Ling'er nodded. "We've met her on Pandora one. Funny, wasn't she the proud and cold type? How did she get together with my brother?"
"Your brother is outstanding. If he wanted to chase after a girl sincerely, who could resist him?" Ai Yuhe smiled bitterly. "However, they are a good match."
"..."
Yang Ling'er was silent.
...
Tianwei Preparatory Camp.
Wangwang was originally in a group with her sister Bai Ya. With Bai Ya's help she ranked second in Tianwei's standings.
Unfortunately, with Bai Ya graduating into the Matriculation Camp, Wangwang had to fight alone now.
Fortunately, she had obtained plenty of energy crystals on Pandora, and her strength had greatly increased. While she had slid down the rankings, the drop was not too much.
That night, Wangwang was swiping through her Moments after taking her bath, and suddenly she shouted and leap three feet high.
"Oh, come on!"
"Big sis is no longer single?"
"And her boyfriend is that scoundrel?"
"You gotta be kidding me!"
Wangwang's beautiful eyes were full of incredulity and shock. She knew what kind of person her sister Bai Ya was, and was extremely distant towards men, and even to the ladies she was cold and frosty, leaving her with few friends.
Only when she was with her, and their parents would she be slightly normal.
This cold, lonesome, friendless, and non-smiling sister had once caused plenty of headache for their mother who was worried that she would be single for her entire life.
Wangwang too was worried, but she never thought that her sister would no longer be single!
And her boyfriend was Ling Jiu!
And she had only went to the Matriculation Camp for less than a month!
Wangwang felt that her worldview had just turned upside down.
"Oh, come on!"
"How long had Big Sis gone to the camp?"
"Should be less than a month, right?"
"And she's now together with Ling Jiu?"
"That's a little too fast!"
"No! I need to ask her clearly!"
Wangwang pulled out Bai Ya's phone number and prepared to give her a call, But before that, Wangwang suddenly remembered that Bai Ya was totally uncontactable since she was in the Matriculation Camp.
"Sister, how can you be with this pervert?"
...
Lantian Base City.
Pangu Arcana Combine Appraisal Department.
"F*ck me! Ol' Ling is actually no longer single!"
Li Kai looked at Ling Jiu's Moments and was surprised. "But then again, this girl sure is beautiful. Ling Jiu sure got lucky!"
"Strange! Where are they eating that hotpot?"
"Why is there a Jupiter over their heads?"
...
The two parties did not know that a mere post to their Moments had kicked up such a storm. After the two were done, they planned to leave.
At this moment, the ice sheet under their feet shook violently as if an earthquake had just occurred. Just as Ling Jiu and Bai Ya were extremely shocked, a hole suddenly cracked open in the ice sheet under their feet and an ice pillar shot up from below.
WOOSHH!!
The water column was thousands of meters wide and splashed straight into the sky, forming an extraordinarily magnificent fountain before them.
Immediately after, with Europa's astonishingly low temperature, the waterspout quickly condensed into ice and turned into a frozen fountain.
The sunlight then shone over, reflecting a dazzling light on the surface of the fountain, causing a rainbow to hang high in the sky. Beautiful.
"What a magnificent view!"
Bai Ya was enchanted by it.
"Yeah, beautiful!"
Ling Jiu too was amazed.
*CRACK!!*
Under the action of gravity, the frozen fountain fell from the sky, hitting the ice sheet and cracking apart with a bang.
Some of the ice slag shot towards them, and Ling Jiu's eyes widened. He used his Shinra Tensei, sending all of the ice slag and projectiles flying away.
"Let's go back!"
"Yeah!"
By the time the two returned to the planet, it was already half an hour later. After returning to the cave, Ling Jiu took all of the items inside and then left the planet and returned to Mars.
"Bai Ya, wait for me here. I'll head to the camp commandant's office and report the discovery of Europa!"
"Yes, go."
After returning to the Antarctic Ice City, Ling Jiu did not head straight to the camp commandant's office, but instead quietly left the Antarctic and hurried towards Australia.
He then came to Pandora.
"9527, I want to know all of the information about this guy!"
Ling Jiu first took out the humanoid creature named Pioneer Mosalz.
"Hmmm?"
9527 inspected Pioneer Mosalz, as a glimmer of doubt appeared in its eyes. It then sent him into the research chamber to study, and the results soon came out.
"Ling Jiu, you have found quite the thing," said 9527 meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows.
"The thing I'm talking about is not Pioneer Mosalz, but the void worm in your hands!"
9527 smiled and said. "You sure are lucky, to be able to encounter such a treasure!"
"You've read this thing's memories?"
Ling Jiu said, "Quickly, tell me what is it all about?"
"That Pioneer Mosalz person came from the Ainsworth Pioneer Family of the Ainsworth Pioneer Star."
9527 explained. "The level of this civilization is not that high, and not much better than Earth, but they are very good at making poisons and controlling beasts."
"The most powerful and fortunate thing of this race was they had enslaved a void worm. This is an incredible treasure!"
"9527, what kind of lifeform does the void worm belong to?"
Ling Jiu asked curiously. Although he knew about the void worm's Arcana, but he had no other information about it.
"I've told you about the Astral Behemoths before, right? And that the Astral Behemoth is the general term used for all lifeforms born in outer space, right?" 9527 asked.
"Yes, sir!"
"Like the Flame Astral Behemoth, the Void Worm is also an Astral Behemoth!"
9527 said. "But unlike the Flame Astral Behemoths that were born to feed on the stars, the void worms live in the void and are born to feed on space!"
"Feed on space?"
Ling Jiu was shocked.
"Yes, feed on space!"
9527 nodded. "And precisely because of that, a tunnel will form everywhere the void worm passes through while eating."
"Just like how a rat digs a hole, but the passage left behind by the void worm is not just a mouse hole, but a wormhole!"
"Wormhole?"
