"What should we do?"
Everyone gathered together to discuss their next move.
But no one could come up with a solution!
Because!
At this moment, they weren't even entirely sure what had happened! Liu Lan suddenly pondered:
"Perhaps we're inside that crystal ball!"
Hearing this!
Everyone exclaimed in shock:
"What? Such a small crystal ball could contain all of us?"
Xu Xingyao's eyes flickered as she tentatively suggested, "A spatial treasure?"
"Exactly!"
Liu Lan looked at her, confirming her thoughts.
"Wuwuwu!"
At that moment!
Ye Jingjing, who had been ostracized by the group, began sobbing again:
"Teacher Liu! This is all your fault!"
"If you had killed that female bandit earlier!"
"We wouldn't have been captured!"
...
But before she could finish!
Xu Bing scolded her, "If you dare say another useless word, I'll slap you again!"
Ye Jingjing was startled and quickly covered her face, "No! Both sides of my face are already swollen!"
Xu Bing growled fiercely:
"Then I'll spank your butt!"
"Wuwu!"
Ye Jingjing hurriedly covered her bottom!
And didn't dare speak another word!...
Seeing this.
Liu Lan also sighed inwardly, "What a pity!" Someone like Ye Jingjing probably only responded to such violent methods! It was a shame she hadn't realized it sooner!
Otherwise!
She wouldn't have let Ye Jingjing cause such a disaster!...
At that moment!
Song Feng and Si Kongyun from the Martial Arts Squad stepped forward! They confidently declared, "Since we're trapped in that glass ball!"
"Then breaking it should get us out, right?"
Hearing this!
Xu Bing frowned! She sensed that the problem wouldn't be so simple! But for now, there was no other option.
They might as well give it a try!...
Under everyone's watchful eyes! They gathered all their strength!
And unleashed a fierce strike toward the sky! A streak of light shot out—
Bang! It hit an invisible barrier!
And exploded into a burst of fireworks! "Huh?"
Their expressions changed slightly!
After the fireworks dissipated, the sky remained a vast expanse of white, with no trace of damage! In other words!
Their attack had no effect! Unwilling to give up, they unleashed an even more powerful move! Boom! A larger firework exploded across the sky!
But still.
Not a single mark was left!...
Seeing this! Everyone's hearts sank, "This isn't working either..."
But Liu Lan's eyes lit up—
Although their attacks couldn't break the barrier! They had proven the barrier's existence!
That meant!
If they could shatter that obstacle!
They would likely be able to escape!
Xu Bing also realized this—
They finally had a direction to focus their efforts!
The only question left was whether they had enough strength! So!
She gave the order! The members of the Martial Arts Squad! Formed a formation! And together, they released their spiritual energy!
Toward the sky!
They unleashed their strongest attack—
A massive Aura Beam!
That slammed into the sky!
Bang—
The deafening sound made Ye Jingjing cover her ears!
...
But! After the loud noise!
The sky still showed no reaction! Not even a crack! Not a single trace of damage!
"Again!"
Xu Bing refused to give up! She ordered everyone to try once more! This time! Liu Lan actively joined them!
She was an A+ level powerhouse! In terms of the amount of spiritual energy within her body, it was almost equivalent to the combined total of the entire Martial Arts Squad!
The moment she made her move!
The power released by the members of the Martial Arts Squad nearly doubled! Everyone looked at her in astonishment: "You're... an A+ level powerhouse?!"
But Liu Lan sighed:
"So what if I am?"
Following her gaze, everyone looked up at the sky.
There was still nothing.
Not a single trace left!...
After that!
They tried countless times!
Until their spiritual energy was almost completely depleted! Still, there was no effect! For a moment!
They all felt disheartened.
Sitting on the ground, they began to question their existence.
...
The only thing worth being grateful for.
Was that quite a few people had been sucked in this time!
They could still chat.
So it wasn't too lonely.
Especially! Among them was a top-tier goddess like Xu Xingyao! The eyes of Song Feng, Si Kongyun!
And the other male members of the Martial Arts Squad! All involuntarily landed on Xu Xingyao! As if rooted there, unable to look away! They even subconsciously swallowed their saliva—
Such a goddess! Truly a rare sight! The last time they saw such a beautiful woman!
Was during the Evil Spirit crisis at the Embroidered Cloud Residence... that is, Captain Ning Shuangyu and her team! Unfortunately! Those women, including Captain Ning Shuangyu, all belonged to that man!
Not a single one was mistaken or out of place!
Who knows.
Is this girl in a maid outfit single? "Ahem! Uh, Miss Xu!"
Song Feng suddenly coughed and called out to Xu Xingyao.
He wanted to initiate some conversation.
But didn't want his "flirting" intentions to be too obvious! So he could only say:
"Do you live in the Jiangbei villa area?"
Xu Xingyao was originally lost in thought.
Hearing the voice.
She turned her head and glanced at Song Feng.
Then, very naturally, she turned back and calmly replied: "Yes!"
Song Feng continued:
"Then do you know, the Red Mist in Mingyue City, it all gathered here and then disappeared... Do you know what happened?"
Hearing this.
Xu Bing also glanced at Xu Xingyao.
"Hmm..."
Xu Xingyao pretended to think for a while.
Then decisively denied it!
"I don't know!"
But Liu Lan's expression changed slightly!
You don't know? The sacred artifact that absorbed all the Red Mist is on your man!
And you say you don't know? But Lin Lang might not have told her about it—so does she really not know, or is she pretending not to know?
Liu Lan wasn't sure.
But she also didn't plan to spill Lin Lang's secret.
"Oh."
Xu Xingyao's denial.
Meant the topic could be concluded.
But Song Feng clearly still wanted to talk to her.
So he continued to make conversation:
"Miss Xu, what do you do for a living?"
This time, Xu Xingyao didn't even turn her head, just stared blankly at the white sky, casually replying:
"Nothing! I live off a man."
"Huh?"
This answer!
Shocked everyone!
For a moment!
They didn't know how to respond! Song Feng also laughed awkwardly, but he chose to believe that Xu Xingyao was just joking:
"Miss Xu has a great sense of humor, even at a time like this, you can still joke!"
Xu Xingyao said: "It's fine, you don't need to worry. We won't die here."
"Oh?"
The certainty in her tone reignited a glimmer of hope in everyone who had just given up! "Why?" they wondered.
Could it be that she had already found a way out?
But Xu Xingyao was still just staring blankly at the sky.
Her profile was exquisitely beautiful, like a doll! "My man will come to save me!" she declared with unwavering faith, like a little girl blindly idolizing her father.
In an instant, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Song Feng asked with a broken heart, "You... have a man?"
"Mm-hmm," Xu Xingyao nodded.
"Didn't I say I live off men's money?"
Snap! Song Feng's heart shattered into pieces! And so did Si Kongyun's, who didn't even dare to speak to Xu Xingyao.
It wasn't just theirs; the hearts of several other male members of the Martial Arts Squad also broke.
Upon hearing that Xu Xingyao was already taken, they once again tasted the bitterness of disappointment.
The last time they felt this way was when they witnessed Lin Lang monopolizing several top-tier goddesses all by himself! It made them seethe with envy.
Damn it! Couldn't he leave some for his fellow countrymen?…
At this moment, only Xu Bing asked a somewhat valuable question:
"Oh?"
"Who is your man?"
