The door to Chu Tian's room was forcefully pushed open.
Luo Luo, with an anxious expression, appeared at the doorway.
Seeing Chu Tian lying on the ground, she quickly rushed over, "Brother, what happened to you?"
Chu Tian endured the intense pain all over his body and sat up, "N-nothing, I just suffered from exercise exhaustion!"
Seeing the exercise equipment filling Chu Tian's room, Luo Luo held back her tears and let out a sigh of relief.
She punched Chu Tian in the chest. The force of the blow almost made him pass out for real.
This was when Luo Luo was weak; otherwise, Chu Tian truly feared his ribs would be broken.
He truly wondered how such great power erupted from her small body.
Although he knew she was very powerful, he had no idea when she had trained herself.
Little did he know, after he left when he was young, Luo Luo began learning various forms of combat, and later underwent systematic training.
Luo Luo, perhaps realizing her strike was a bit too heavy, quickly went to help him up.
After a period of rest and consuming a nutrient solution, Chu Tian's stamina was replenished.
But he was still very hungry. Nutrient solutions only replenished stamina; they did not provide a feeling of fullness.
Neither Chu Tian nor Luo Luo wanted to move, so they ordered a super deluxe hot pot delivery.
It wasn't until evening when the game was about to start that Luo Luo disagreed with Chu Tian entering the game.
Finally, after much persuasion, Luo Luo agreed. As he was about to enter the game pod, he suddenly remembered how she had managed to open his fully encased anti-explosion game pod.
"Luo Luo, how did you open my game pod?" Chu Tian asked curiously.
"I couldn't open it at first either. I don't know why, but later, it just opened when I touched it!" Luo Luo stated that she didn't know what was going on either.
Chu Tian pondered for a moment, thinking it might be the trick of that old rascal, Dao Tian.
Returning to the game!
"Ding... System prompt: Offline double experience reward has accumulated to 98.8% of your current level, it will be automatically consumed when the player kills monsters. Offline time: 9 days, 18 hours, 23 minutes."
Seeing the system prompt, Chu Tian was stunned. Had he been offline for nine days? It seemed he had been offline in the Heavenly Dao System since entering the Netherworld.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the levels he gained from collecting the other shore flowers in the Netherworld...
He quickly opened his character panel, and Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief. His level was back.
Also, his backpack was still full of other shore flowers.
Right, that jade…
Chu Tian couldn't find it in his equipment slots or his backpack.
He had thought it would be in the Heavenly Dao game, but it wasn't even here.
Chu Tian exited the game and knocked on Luo Luo's door.
She asked him curiously, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Have you seen a piece of black jade?" Chu Tian asked.
"Uh... that..." Luo Luo was a bit hesitant.
Chu Tian remained silent. Although he was anxious, he gave her a look, conveying to her not to rush, and to speak slowly.
"Alright!" Luo Luo said dejectedly, then pulled down the collar of her clothes.
"It's here! Take it yourself..." Luo Luo pouted.
"Huh?" Chu Tian was dumbfounded. Did it mean inside? And he was supposed to take it himself!
"What 'huh'! I can't take it off myself, hurry up and take it away!" Luo Luo's face was flushed red, clearly embarrassed by this action.
Hearing Luo Luo's commanding tone, Chu Tian felt a surge of joy. Such a good thing. This girl was quite playful!
Since the girl had made such a request, it would seem unreasonable if he didn't act.
Chu Tian's lips curled up, smiling a little lewdly. He raised his right hand and reached out.
"Mmm... Ah... Pervert... Stinky Xiao Tian..."
Luo Luo first trembled, letting out a soft hum, then screamed in surprise.
Bang...!
Chu Tian flew back into his own room directly from Luo Luo's doorway.
He sat on the ground blankly, then quickly stood up and rushed in front of Luo Luo. He was also furious, roaring, "Didn't you tell me to reach in and take it myself! Why did you kick me?"
"I didn't..." Luo Luo said with a wronged tone!
"What do you mean 'you didn't'? You clearly told me to take it myself!" Chu Tian was furious. He realized that Luo Luo had been getting more physical lately, and more importantly, he couldn't beat her. He was so angry!
"I said I didn't kick you! Why are you yelling at me..." Luo Luo was on the verge of tears from being wronged.
Seeing Luo Luo's expression, Chu Tian knew he might have been too harsh. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "Uh... S-sorry, it wasn't you who kicked me, did I fly out by myself?"
He didn't actually intend to be harsh with Luo Luo. He was just feeling a bit upset about being inexplicably kicked away, especially when she had asked him to do so.
"It really wasn't me, it was it. Look, it's what bounced you away just now!" Luo Luo leaned directly towards Chu Tian.
Chu Tian stared blankly... and suddenly felt a sense of dizziness.
He thought to himself: I didn't expect Luo Luo to be so well-endowed!
But hearing her words, Chu Tian thought, who was she trying to fool? Although she was very well-endowed, could she use them to fling him away?
"Uh... Luo Luo, if you want that thing... just say it, no need to do this..." Chu Tian's eyes were wide open, looking down at the close proximity of... Could something good be happening today?
As he spoke, he felt a warmth in his nose, and something was flowing out.
He quickly touched his nose and realized it was blood!
Luo Luo also noticed Chu Tian's expression, and her face instantly turned a deep shade of red. She quickly let go of the hand holding her collar, "Brother, where are you looking? I'm talking about this!"
She extended a hand and pointed towards a position slightly above her chest.
"What is it?" Chu Tian asked blankly.
"It's this! When you woke up, that black jade was on your chest.
When I entered, I had just said a sentence to you, and it flew to me. Then I fainted.
When I woke up, I found it had turned milky white, and no matter how I tried, I couldn't take it off."
Luo Luo forcefully tapped that spot a few times.
Chu Tian recalled that when he woke up, he hadn't noticed himself wearing the black jade, nor had he noticed it flying to her as Luo Luo said.
At this moment, he couldn't see the milky white jade she mentioned either.
Could it be that he couldn't see it originally? But he had clearly brought it out from the gates of hell.
"Are you sure it's here?" He then reached out and touched the spot her finger indicated.
To the touch, it was only Luo Luo's smooth skin; there was nothing she spoke of.
"Yes, you... can't see it?" Luo Luo also asked in surprise.
Chu Tian nodded. Seeing Luo Luo's expression, it didn't seem like she was trying to fool him. He then recalled her saying that it was the thing that had bounced him away.
Following this, he remembered what that old man, Dao Tian, had told him.
Thinking this way, he wasn't too surprised. It seemed that old rascal Dao Tian hadn't lied to him.
There were indeed things in this world that science couldn't explain.
Since it was harmless to Luo Luo and seemed to protect her, he would let her keep it!
After all, she was his woman, so it wasn't a loss; it was just not being able to retrieve it.
He always felt that the person who gave him this jade was a very important person.
"I can't see it, but it seems harmless to you and even protects you, so you can keep it!" Chu Tian told Luo Luo.
He saw Luo Luo fiddling there, as if her fingers were indeed gripping something, and she was trying hard to pull it down.
"Alright, I'm going back to my room. Stop picking at it!" Chu Tian said again.
"Oh, okay! But what is this, exactly?" Luo Luo asked.
Chu Tian shook his head, indicating he was also unsure.
After helping Luo Luo close her door, he returned to his room and lay back into the game pod.
