After a while of intimacy, Li Yunqing and the others returned to the bed and lay down. Li Yunqing was still pondering the scene he had just witnessed. That figure was likely just the consciousness of Earth, while its physical form remained beneath them.
He recalled what Earth had said about the depths of the universe. Why did those exceptional beings nurtured by Earth venture into the vastness of space? Was it because Earth was too small to develop, or was there something that attracted them?
According to Li Yunqing's calculations, it seemed correct that Earth was too small and undeveloped, prompting them to seek broader horizons for growth. However, as Earth had mentioned, none of them had returned. Was it because their birthplace was too weak and they didn't want to be discovered by other beings? Or perhaps they feared being ridiculed if their humble origins were known?
The latter seemed unlikely; after all, someone who leaves their home in search of strength wouldn't be overly concerned about their impoverished beginnings.
Li Yunqing daydreamed for a long time but remained uncertain about his own strength compared to the beings in the depths of the universe. Yet, it didn't matter much; after all, he was unlikely to leave since he considered himself a homebody.
Once he sorted through his thoughts, Li Yunqing's consciousness returned, and he suddenly felt something strange. He grabbed Sera's mischievous little hand that was playing on his chest and pulled her into his embrace.
Huh?
In the deep of night, Li Yunqing leaned against the headboard alone. His energy was too abundant; even with his eyes closed, he couldn't fall asleep. Rather than pretending to sleep, he might as well think about what to do next.
To be honest, Li Yunqing genuinely wanted to explore other worlds. However, he feared he might not return. Even with his mastery over Spatial Magic, he couldn't guarantee his safe return. He could only try visiting some low-magic worlds or those without much martial power to see what the so-called World Barrier was truly like—low-magic worlds that lacked any mysterious elements.
What if there are gods? For most worlds, gods are merely the strongest beings within that realm. If we were to speak of it, Li Yunqing could already be considered a god in the context of Earth.
After pondering this, he felt there was little to fear. Bored and restless, Li Yunqing took out the magic book once more. After his enhancement, not only had his magic improved, but the book also generated new spells on its own each day. The number seemed fixed at one hundred spells per day. However, the levels were random; most spells were of low rank, while those above a certain tier were rare, often taking several days to appear.
Now that Li Yunqing possessed Jian Ji Gu, consulting the magic book no longer required him to learn and practice spells to master them. A mere glance was enough for him to comprehend and proficiently wield the magic; further observation even enhanced the spell's effectiveness. However, after reviewing around three thousand spells, he began to feel a bit dizzy. It seemed his mental capacity was still lacking; even with Ninth Level Magic and Clear Mind, it wasn't sufficient?
Then it struck him: the Clear Mind he had been using was cast before he acquired Jian Ji Gu, intended to cope with the overwhelming information from obtaining it. The duration of Clear Mind was one day, so he was currently under the effects of a version he had used when he was less adept.
Realizing this, Li Yunqing quickly reviewed the Clear Mind spell again and then glanced at it once more. He had already mastered its intricacies and even gained a renewed understanding of its operational mechanics. He recast Clear Mind on himself, and instantly his mind felt clear and ethereal. He could perceive that his thoughts were processing much faster than before.
With this newfound clarity, he resumed reading the magic book. As dawn approached, he felt only a slight fatigue in his head but no dizziness. Setting down the magic book, Li Yunqing poured himself a cup of coffee and sat on the balcony, waiting for the sun to rise. For some reason, he found immense joy in watching the sunrise; it brought him peace and happiness.
Turning around, he noticed Sera and Lilu Lu standing behind him without him realizing it. They smiled at him as he turned back to face them.
Good morning, Master.
Good morning, Sera and Lilu Lu.
Li Yunqing got up and approached the dining table, waving his hand, and a variety of delicious dishes appeared before him.
Not all of them were from Little Chef; many were also from popular food rankings online.
Li Yunqing thought that if these dishes were chosen by the public, even the worst ones couldn't be too bad.
The three of them sat down quietly to enjoy the feast.
There were many dishes on the table, and Sera and Lilu Lu each took a little bit of everything, feeling encouraged to eat more.
Li Yunqing quietly watched them eat.
Besides the rising sun, it seemed that beautiful women could also bring him joy.
Seeing that Li Yunqing wasn't eating, Sera picked up what she thought was the best Xiao Long Bao and fed it to him.
It wasn't too hot yet, but Sera's delicate hand was already turning slightly red from the warmth.
Li Yunqing didn't refuse Sera's offering and took a bite.
This was a Xiao Long Bao from Changzhou, a Crab Roe Soup Dumpling topped with a generous amount of crab roe.
The flavor was indeed delightful.
However, there was only one basket, and Sera and Lilu Lu each had two, leaving the last one for Li Yunqing.
As he looked at the empty basket, he was about to reach for another when he paused to glance at Sera.
