Within his spiritual world, Chu Ge channeled his inner magic power, drawing the thirty magic cores suspended in mid-air closer together.

"Merge them all!"

With a low shout, all the magic cores melted, turning into clear liquid magic that intertwined and spun rapidly, instantly radiating a dazzling azure light that illuminated the entire spiritual space.

This state lasted for a full ten minutes before the blinding blue light gradually subsided.

A pale blue crystal floated in the center of the spiritual world. The magic power contained within it was not only equivalent to the total of thirty magic cores, but also several times more refined and pure, with a power far exceeding that of the past.

If the magic crystal were used to activate the magic at this moment, its power would definitely increase several times over!

At this point, Chu Ge had completely broken through the shackles and steadily stepped into the ranks of intermediate-level mages.

With a thought, she immediately withdrew from the mental world and glanced around indifferently.

Across from us, several middle-aged women wearing swimsuits with butterfly patterns were chatting loudly, talking about who was in jail, who was beaten to death for stealing, and who had cheated on their husbands and whose wife cut up their "weapon of the crime."

Beside her, Ye Lingling was engrossed in scrolling through short videos with her head down, the catchy "Hakim Mambo" background music playing continuously, laughing so hard that her whole body trembled slightly, completely unaware of the commotion around her.

Chu Ge's breakthrough was extremely quick, completely silent and natural, without causing the slightest ripple.

Just then, her stomach made two clear "gurgling" sounds, a direct reminder to the white-haired, hungry girl that it was time to eat.

She turned to look at Ye Lingling beside her and said softly, "Let's go eat."

The two arrived at the restaurant together and chose a window seat. The waiter immediately came forward to greet them warmly.

"Ladies, our manor has just received a batch of fresh vegetables. They were carefully cultivated by a wood-elemental mage using magic, and contain a small amount of magical energy. Although they can't compare to rare magical plants, they can still nourish a mage's body, and their taste is exceptionally delicious. They are currently a special supply for the manor; you simply can't buy them in the market outside. Would you two like to try some?"

"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit, bring a little of everything." Chu Ge nodded slightly, intrigued by the suggestion.

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

Not long after, a haughty female voice came from the restaurant entrance; it was Xu Wan, the black-haired, vicious girl.

"Hmph, Hagiran, don't think that just because you invited me to lunch, I'll forgive you for leaving me yesterday!"

Although the two had a minor disagreement last night, they made up overnight and were completely at peace with each other.

Xu Wan spotted Chu Ge and Ye Lingling at a glance and led Tang Xiaoran to sit down at the next table.

"Good afternoon, Chu Ge and Ye Lingling," Tang Xiaoran greeted them warmly.

The waiter came forward and handed her the menu. Xu Wan picked it up and decisively ordered several dishes in one go.

After the waiter left, she turned to look at Tang Xiaoran, a sly glint in her eyes: "I ordered so much, you're not worried about the cost, are you? But it's a deal, if you don't have money to pay, I won't stay and help you wash the dishes."

Tang Xiaoran smiled helplessly, her eyes filled with sincerity and guilt as she looked at Xu Wan: "As long as Wanwan isn't angry, I'd be willing to order from the entire menu ten times over. I was wrong yesterday; I shouldn't have said those hurtful things."

She was filled with regret, wishing she could turn back time.

In fact, Xu Wan didn't take it to heart at all. She knew that Tang Xiaoran was doing it all for her own good, but seeing that the other party took the initiative to apologize, she deliberately put on a wronged look.

"It's simple if you want me to forgive you, just come with me to eat pork sashimi afterwards."

Tang Xiaoran was speechless for a moment, her face full of helplessness. How could she not get around this topic?

Do we really have to eat that disgusting stuff?

How much do you like it?

After a moment of silence, she finally nodded: "...Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"That's more like it." Xu Wan was finally satisfied.

Before long, all the dishes were served.

Looking at the lush green vegetables in front of her, which exuded a faint magical aura, the white-haired, hungry girl didn't hesitate and immediately picked up her utensils to start eating. Before she knew it, even the corners of her mouth were covered with rice grains.

Ye Lingling hadn't expected her to be so hungry, and couldn't help but chuckle as she watched from the side, covering her mouth and giggling softly.

She took out her phone and filmed Chu Ge eating, then asked expectantly, "Chu Ge, can I post this video on my account?"

"Whatever," Chu Ge replied casually, burying his head in his food.

"Hehe, that's great!" Ye Lingling's eyes instantly crinkled with laughter, and even the little tuft of hair on her head stood up. She was overjoyed. "I feel like this video is definitely going to go viral!"

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoran at the next table felt a sudden tightness in her chest and almost lost her composure on the spot.

Do not send it out!

She didn't want Chu Ge to be exposed to the public eye and be watched by countless people. The thought of this made her feel inexplicably powerless, just like her incompetent husband.

Even if she had a cow all over her body, she could only keep this thought to herself and dared not let anyone know.

Xu Wan glanced at her sideways, instantly seeing through her thoughts, and inwardly scoffed:

You're such a love-struck fool! If you like someone, just be bold and take the initiative! What kind of skill is this, being so coy?

But the other party was a coward who dared not make a move, so he could only silently suffer in silence!

Cupid: You incompetent simp, please wait another lifetime!

Unexpectedly, Ye Lingling's words came true.

The video went viral within just one hour of its release, garnering over a million likes across the internet, and its popularity continues to soar, causing an uproar in the comments section.

[OMG! This white-haired loli is so cute, she's totally captured my heart!]

[This woman... she's old if she can feed herself, are there any younger ones?]

Where is the strategist?! I absolutely adore this type, how do I pursue her?

Don't ask the strategist anymore, even the strategist likes it himself...

In the evening, Lingquan saw a peak in usage, with long queues forming at the entrance.

However, after finishing lunch, Chu Ge and Xu Wan went directly into the spiritual spring and never left.

"Chu Ge, do you dare to compete with me to see who can cultivate faster?" Xu Wan looked at the white-haired girl beside her, her eyes burning with competitive spirit.

"I'll play along to the end," Chu Ge replied calmly.

Within the spiritual spring, the two sat side by side, bathed in the bright moonlight. Combined with the spring's rich magical energy, their cultivation speed increased exponentially. The surrounding magical energy surged wildly, continuously being absorbed into their bodies and flowing into their spiritual world.

They sat there until late at night.

The others in the spiritual spring left one after another, leaving only the two of them still in a stalemate.

After a long while, Xu Wan finally couldn't hold on any longer and slowly opened her eyes, speaking with a solemn expression: "...Chu Ge."

"What's wrong?" Chu Ge slowly opened his eyes, his tone calm.

"...I'd like to do you a favor."

Chu Ge was speechless. It turned out to be just going to the toilet. Why was he making such a big deal out of it? He thought something serious had happened.

Xu Wan slowly stood up. As soon as she stepped out of the water, her gaze suddenly fell on the distant sky, where a blinding red light suddenly burst forth!

A huge, blood-red sphere of light appeared out of thin air, hovering silently in the night sky, exuding an oppressive aura.

The others in the villa also noticed, looked up at the sky, and discussed among themselves with surprise and doubt.

"It's a shooting star! Make a wish!" someone shouted excitedly.

"What are you wishing for? There's no such thing as a shooting star that big. I think it's a weird egg!" someone immediately retorted.

"Never mind, let's just take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments first!" Someone hurriedly took out their phone to take a picture.

Inside the spiritual spring, Chu Ge stared at the blood-red orb of light, feeling a strange aura that was both incredibly familiar and startled him.

"This is..." She suddenly stood up.

Xu Wan's expression also turned serious, and she nodded emphatically.

The next second, the two looked at each other and uttered five words in unison:

"Abyssal Aberration!"
