118: I don’t believe it.
In the bedroom, Jessica was flipping through a copy of “Legend of the White Snake.”
The text within was simple and easy to understand, complete with bilingual annotations.
This was the first level of the “Learn Chinese – Graded Readers” she had purchased, with other titles like “Chang’e Flying to the Moon” and “Hua Mulan” lying beside her bed.
While enjoying the stories, she could gradually improve her Xia Language reading ability and deepen her understanding of Xia Country’s culture.
However, at the mont, Jessica was clearly sowhat distracted, her ears perked up listening for sothing.
“Why is there no noise?”
15 minutes later, Jessica tossed the book aside and walked to the door barefoot.
As soon as she stepped out, she imdiately heard a muffled cry that was being forcibly suppressed.
She walked to the door with a mischievous smile, pushed it open abruptly, and imdiately saw Teresa’s beautiful back.
Teresa’s body suddenly froze, and she turned her head with a puzzled look, “Jessica?
Is there sothing you need?”
As she spoke, she tried to rise with difficulty.
“No, no need for you to get up, I don’t need anything.”
Jessica quickly stepped forward, pressed down on her shoulders to push her back, and sneakily said with a chuckle:
“To be honest, I was a bit skeptical you were exaggerating to trick .
But now~ I’m convinced you’re an honest Golden Canary~”
Teresa took the bedsheet to cover herself, and calmly said:
“A lady shouldn’t disturb another, it’s quite impolite.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll leave right away~”
With the knowledge she sought, Jessica walked out with hands behind her back, but halfway through she turned back and asked:
“Are you really okay?
Don’t force yourself if you can’t bear it, it looks quite frightening…”
Teresa swept her hair back over her shoulders, and said with composure:
“Jessica, I’ll co to your room later to teach you so ladylike manners.
Lu Li, if she calls for help, just ignore her, I assure you girls won’t hurt each other.”
“Okay.”
“Hehe~ I’ll lock the door~”
Jessica quickly skipped away barefoot.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Early the next morning, Lu Li woke up alone in bed.
Recalling the night before, he couldn’t help but remark, “What a strange Yang Ma…”
Elegant, calm, even maintaining her poise while fainting.
“Just say it straight if you’re tired, why put on an act.”
Lu Li shook his head, stood up, but then noticed a hairband by the pillow.
“You left sothing behind…
So maybe not so composed after all.”
With the hairband in hand, Lu Li went downstairs where the two girls had already prepared a refined breakfast.
“This is yours.”
“Thank you.”
Lu Li handed it over, and after Teresa politely thanked him and put it on, there wasn’t any special reaction.
After silently finishing breakfast, Teresa took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
Jessica pulled Lu Li into the living room, curiously probing, “Hey~ what’s up with you two, it looks awkward.”
Lu Li shook his head, “Not sure…
She’s always been like this, maybe not familiar enough yet.”
“Not familiar enough?” Jessica was quite surprised.
By now, Teresa had finished tidying up and ca over to ask, “Jessica, shall we go to school together?”
“Yeah, sure~” Jessica clung to Lu Li for a while before standing up to leave.
Teresa also put on her unchanging white silk stockings at the door, the two girls hand in hand, boarded the bulletproof car to go to school.
Lu Li savored the sweet lingering scent in his mouth, suddenly recalling sothing: Teresa seed to never let him kiss her…
~~~~~~~~~~
After the two girls left, Lu Li waited for the courier and began to practice the White Dragon Whip Skill in the garden.
He executed the movents over and over, quickly breaking into a sweat.
Although he had Xiao Cha’s inner breath and didn’t need to exert much effort,
Lu Li thought he should save the girl so trouble whenever he could and so he put extra effort into accumulating more cultivation.
By noon, he was utterly exhausted and couldn’t help thinking,
“If only part of the speed of the Spirit Refining could be transferred to Martial Arts…”
If Xiao Cha knew what he was thinking, she would definitely scoff at him.
In Martial Arts, practice always yielded results, but Spirit Refining didn’t even give you the chance to try hard.
After resting for a while, he continued practicing until evening, when he received a call from UPS—the Terminator had arrived!
Lu Li stood at the front gate, and soon a cargo truck arrived, unloading a large, long-shaped box.
After signing for it, he took it to the garage to unpack, and a tallic body with a silvery-gray sheen erged.
“Hmm…
it looks quite like the T800.”
The tallic body in front of him had a completely humanoid appearance, with limbs, torso, head, and even fingers and toes all complete.
It looked a lot like the Terminators in the movies, only more rounded and refined, without any exposed wires or hydraulic tubes.
“The skeleton and joints are made of tungsten cobalt hard alloy, while the tendons are titanium alloy physical elastic components.”
“A reasonable tal material mix, weight controlled at 200 kilograms…
not bad.”
The more Lu Li looked, the more satisfied he beca.
What ca next was to make this tallic body move and beco a real Terminator.
This ti, it definitely couldn’t be as casual as the last “Simulation Doll”.
Lu Li first took out two pieces of jade from the Wang family’s ancestral tomb from his pocket.
Since ancient tis, Xia Country had the tradition of “Funerary Jade,” as the ancients firmly believed that jade could perform Soul Absorption, and that burying with jade granted the dead the possibility of resurrection.
At that mont, Lu Li’s eyes hardened, and he used his Spirit Power to grind and compress the jades against each other.
In just over ten seconds, he ground them into a fine dust-like “Jade Powder”.
Lu Li then called out the Kunlun Mirror and drew a ball of blue luminescence the size of a lead ball from within.
It was a soul from the Otherworld at the Zuowang level, fragile as a soap bubble.
Lu Li carefully pinched it, slowly rging it into the jade powder.
As soon as the two combined, the jade powder shimred with a mysterious blue light.
Lu Li then split the enchanting glow into two, injecting it into the tallic body’s forehead and heart.
At this mont, the jade powder did not rge into the tal but just clung to its surface.
Lu Li’s eyes hardened again, and he poured thirty percent of his Spirit into the tallic body!
The tal surface, soaked with his Spirit, also flashed with blue light.
In the next mont, the mysterious blue jade powder eagerly seeped into it, disappearing from view.
The tallic body’s fingers twitched and its whole body trembled, then suddenly stood up.
Let there be light in its eye sockets, and two blue luminescent dots the size of rice grains appeared.
These lights had no heat, but they beca the puppet’s pupils, adding an eerie touch.
The awakening of this tallic body was due to Lu Li’s Spirit Power, a force that had also intermingled with the jade powder in its bones.
Lu Li felt as though he could control this thing as easily as his own toes.
His mind gave the command: “Destroy this box.”
The tallic body turned and delivered an iron punch, smashing the wooden box that had contained it to pieces.
Thus, the first Terminator was born.
But the experint had only just begun.
Judging by that punch, the Terminator only possessed the sensitivity and strength of an ordinary person, and would be of little help in the Otherworld.
Lu Li looked towards the Divine Souls stored in the Kunlun Mirror, and his next step was to strengthen them to find the optimal soul combination.
Because there would be more than one Terminator.
