An infinite journey starting from paradise

"I see."

The group continued to try to go deeper. As they approached the exit, the fireball in front of Lin Shangren, which was used as a light, began to shrink. Lin Shangren activated his [Soul Vision] and determined that something was continuously absorbing the heat energy within the underground city. The deeper they went, the greater the impact.

By the time they walked out of the tunnel, the fireball had completely extinguished, and Lin Shangren could also feel the black shadow wrapped around his body being slowly peeled off.

"Edna, you guys go into the shadow space first. It will be more convenient for me to act alone from now on. Don't worry, if I encounter any danger, I will release you guys to help me as soon as possible." Lin Shangren said.

"It's pitch black. This should be your home ground. No one can be your opponent in this environment. Well, let's sleep in your shadow for a while." Gloria said.

Although Edna was still a little worried, she finally obediently entered Lin Shangren's shadow.

"I hope nothing goes wrong again."

While thinking, Lin Shangren used the floating stone ring to fly into the air, and completely unlocked his perception. The shadow touch instantly covered every corner within a radius of ten kilometers.

The cavity where the underground city was located was approximately eight kilometers high. The city's layout showed a distinct concentric circle structure, with several wide main roads converging towards the center. Each main road corresponded to a face of the pyramid, dividing the city into multiple fan-shaped areas.

As Lin Shangren moved towards the city center, he finally confirmed that there were twelve main roads in the city, which eventually converged to the strange towering building in the center of the city. It was also the only place in the entire underground city where there was light, a black pyramid with a height of nearly 300 meters.

The pyramid's surface is covered in a honeycomb-like pattern of holes. Each hole is approximately two meters in diameter and is inlaid with luminous crystals. These crystals are arranged in an intricate pattern, emitting a faint glow. Twelve steps extend from the base of the pyramid, each paved with luminous crystals, connecting to twelve main roads.

Lin Shangren's gaze was fixed on the glowing crystals, or more precisely, on the objects contained within them. Surprisingly, within those glowing crystals were people: underground beings with turtle-like features, and... humans who appeared to be wearing Egyptian clothing.

They were sealed in this glowing crystal, still maintaining their states in life: some desperately running, some curled up in fear, some kneeling in piety. It was like a prehistoric creature sealed in amber.

"What the hell is this."

Lin Shangren wanted to use the [Eye of Innocence] to detect the information of these things, but the [Eye of Innocence] rarely issued an error reminder.

[Unable to perform identification... Please install the extension plug-in...]

"Is it really that guy's creation?"

Lin Shangren pondered this and activated his Soul Vision again. As he imagined, it was the massive pyramid in the city's center that was absorbing the city's energy. The Mother Goddess must be planning to inject a large amount of energy into the pyramid to activate it.

"It doesn't necessarily mean activation, it could also mean detonation."

Through his Soul Vision, Lin Shangren discovered that the energy concentrated within this black pyramid far exceeded his imagination. Observing the nebulous energy before him, Lin Shangren was certain that it contained more than just the magma and life energy of the underground city's inhabitants. There was much more—the twelve main roads did not end at the city's edge, but instead wound their way out.

It was likely connected to other underground cities, and the conditions within those cities were likely identical to this one. There was only silence and darkness, as all energy and life converged here, at the core of the Jade Empire's capital.

If all humans on Earth were rolled into a large meatball, that meatball would fit perfectly within the Sky Eye radio telescope and fry into a giant meatball. Then, the black pyramid before Lin Shangren was a pagoda of meat made from almost all the human ingredients of the Underground People.

"What on earth is she trying to do by gathering so much life energy here?!"

Chapter 427: The Sudden End of the Investigation and the Bathroom Raid

Staring at the huge pyramid in front of him that was emitting dazzling starlight, Lin Shangren suddenly felt an indescribable hunger in a part of his soul, wanting to take all the energy for himself.

This feeling left Lin Shangren stunned. Suddenly, a piercing chill spread across his skin. In that brief moment of daze, the materialized shadow enveloping his body had been completely absorbed. Even from a distance, the pyramid had already begun to erode his body heat.

[This thing is still absorbing energy. I don't know what will happen after it reaches the critical point.]

"No..." Lin Shangren thought to himself, "It should be more than just absorbing energy. If it was purely for energy absorption, the Mother Goddess could have found a way to use other magma in the asthenosphere. However, the life energy generated by a silver party is a drop in the bucket compared to the total amount of spiritual energy here. Perhaps to truly activate this thing, we must use that pink spiritual energy.

Also, the function of this thing, and the fate of the underground civilization..."

[Hey, there's already a debuff here that constantly drains mana. You're not planning on using the power of Laplace's Demon to go back tens of thousands of years, are you?]

"How is that possible... Let's stop here for today. Get some information that might be useful. Then go back directly." Lin Shangren said.

[Huh? Why did you leave?]

"I have a feeling that if we rashly enter this pyramid, something might go wrong," Lin Shangren said. "It's better to go back first. As for here..."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren teleported back to the underground city's entrance and placed his hand on the massive gate. A black shadow erupted from his palm, rapidly spreading, seeping into the gap between the underground city and the earth's crust, enveloping the entire underground city within the giant shadow ball, ultimately stripping it away and swallowing it whole into the shadowy space.

The pyramid in the center of the city has a limited range of energy absorption. If you use Shadow Swamp here, you don't have to worry about it completely absorbing the materialized darkness.

"receive."

The giant shadow ball sank into the vast shadow swamp, leaving only a huge cavity in its place. To prevent the stress structure here from collapsing and causing an earthquake in the upper crust, Lin Shangren also specially created a layer of black shadow to support the area.

"This way, no one and no energy of any kind can enter without my permission. Although I haven't figured out the truth yet, at least I don't have to worry about her using this place to harm me again.

As for the Mother Goddess, let's wait until Xiao Ai wakes up before we think about it. Let's deal with the small matter at hand first. There's still a shark man in the shadow space that we haven't dealt with yet."

After making the decision, Lin Shangren teleported to the surface.

It is not difficult to get the location of Prajna's family from the shark people and then go directly to their house to kill people and steal their treasures. Lin Shangren can also use them to vent the frustration that has accumulated in his heart today.

……

Two hours later, we arrived at Lin Shangren’s villa on the private beach.

Although Lin Shangren's absence made things less fun, the girls still enjoyed their beach vacation after confirming that he was safe. However, without Lin Shangren, they felt a little empty in their hearts, especially those who didn't get the chance to be intimate with him, except Wuguo and Sanshen Lianzi.

On the beach, Aoki Fuyushi exhaled a puff of smoke. Ever since receiving Lin Shangren's plea for help via Fuluru, she'd been guarding the area, tasked with protecting everyone. She cast her line while waiting for Lin Shangren's safe return.

Dongshi stared at the coastline and thought to himself, "I hope everything goes well for Shangren and he comes back soon. I have to use the surprise I've been preparing for so long."

At this time, everything is silent, leaving only the original tranquility of the fine sand and the sea water, and the surrounding villas are lit up with bright lights.

With the witcher's eyesight that far exceeded human limits, Dong Shi looked with interest at another private beach far away. A bonfire was swaying slightly in a corner of the beach, and human figures could be vaguely seen swaying around the bonfire.

"Wow... this is really... depravity." Dong Shi thought.

There was a bonfire party going on on the beach, filled with sexy beauties. However, the beauties had already taken off their swimsuits and were laughing and playing naked around the bonfire. There were also several naked young men, some sitting around drinking and chatting, while others were chasing after the beauties.

"This is called a nude party, right? Phew… Shangren was planning to have a barbecue on the beach, but it seems like that won't be possible tonight."

Originally, each of them had little time to spend alone with Lin Shangren, and if they also had to have a barbecue, they might not have any extra time to do their business.

"Hey, Sister Fuyushi, do you want to take a shower first?" Aso Kasumi called out to Aoki Fuyushi's back, "We found a great swimming pool in the backyard of the villa."

"I want to wait here for a while." Dong Shi replied.

"The little bat said he'll be back soon. Hey, Dongshi-sister, you don't want to be hugged by him and feel salty all over, do you? I remember he really liked licking Dongshi-sister's snow-white neck with his tongue."

"This is such an embarrassing thing... Well, okay, after soaking in the sea water for a while and being blown by the sea breeze for so long, I do feel a little uncomfortable."

Dong Shi put out his cigarette and followed Aso Kasumi into the villa.

Walking through the spacious hall and into the backyard of the villa, you'll see the large swimming pool. A huge sunshade covers about half of the pool, leaving the other half completely exposed to the sun. Surrounding it are tall, dense trees, which keep every ray of spring light in.

Mizaki Mei and Shirasaki Misan, both wearing swimsuits, had been swimming in the pool for quite a while. Yura sat on the edge, splashing water with her feet. She couldn't swim, and her daughters wanted to teach her, but she still wanted Hayashi Naoto to teach her himself.

In one corner of the swimming pool is a medium-sized warm water pool, embedded in the marble floor. There is a shower on the top, like a huge bathtub, where people who are tired of swimming can rest and relax in the hot water.

At this time, Reiko Sanshin was soaking in it, with a little rubber duck on top of her bun.

"Ah, you're here too. Do you want to soak in this tub for a while? This bubble bath is super comfortable!"

"Reiko, your ice cream is here."

Kirika, wearing a yukata, walked over slowly with a food tray in her hand.

"And Ming and Wei San's boba soda. You two, remember to drink less carbonated drinks and be careful with your teeth."

Looking at the situation at the swimming pool, Hehuan on the second floor smiled faintly.

She turned and walked towards the bathroom, removing her clothes as she went. Her movements were exceptionally slow and seductive, as if deliberately flaunting her alluringly perfect figure. The robe slid off her silky, delicate body, revealing the exquisite curves of her back: slender legs, a pert, supple hip, and a delicate, rosy back. Under the dim nightlight, she exuded a hazy allure.

"Aren't you coming out yet? This guy is really..."

With a mixture of shame and anticipation in her heart, He Huan walked into the bathroom. She turned on the switch, and the hot water from the shower head poured down, forming a fine mist that gently enveloped her naked body.

She closed her eyes comfortably and soaked her body in the bathtub, almost completely relaxed. Streams of water gushed out of the showerhead, gently hitting her skin, as if a pair of warm hands were gently kneading her body.

Her firm breasts and perky buttocks trembled slightly under the caress of the water. The nozzles at the bottom of the pool were aimed squarely at the private part between her legs, massaging her sensitive thighs in a teasing manner. Occasionally, a few powerful streams of water playfully penetrated into the depths of her paradise, bringing a fleeting hint of pleasure.

"Hmm~"

Just as Hehuan closed her eyes and completely relaxed, enjoying the massage of the water, there was suddenly a slight sound of someone entering the water, breaking through the surface of the water behind her. Before she could open her eyes and look back, a strong and hot body was already pressed tightly against her, hugging her smooth and elastic body deeply from behind, and a hot hard object was firmly pressed against her buttocks.

"Is Ken coming out?"

"Did Hehuan notice that I was back early?" Lin Shangren asked softly.

"We're so in tune with each other." He Huan said, "Hey, what happened today? Are you hurt?"

"It may be a romantic debt, or it may not. The situation is complicated and I can't figure it out. Anyway, it's very tricky, but I can handle it. As for injury, I'm not hurt, but I'm very tired." Lin Shangren answered, gently rubbing his slightly stubbled chin across Hehuan's back.

"It would be strange if you weren't tired. I saw it when I was changing Yuanzi's clothes. You, a fellow, have no idea how to be gentle with women. You flirt with other girls everywhere and bully them. You are responsible for your romantic debt." There was some jealousy and dissatisfaction in Hehuan's tone.

"Do I know how to be gentle and considerate to women? Doesn't Hehuan know that? Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I just want to hold Hehuan and have a good rest for a while."

In the two hours since leaving the underground city, Lin Shangren had encountered some minor incidents. However, he was not in the mood to reflect on them at this moment. He just wanted to seek some comfort and relaxation from Hehuan.

Without rushing straight to He Huan's completely exposed breasts or buttocks, Lin Shangren patiently teased every sensitive corner of her body, gradually stirring her surging passion. Gentle kisses slid up her neck, and when they approached her ears, they suddenly turned into passionate licks.

The warm and moist tip of the tongue flexibly sucked and licked the snow-white neck and the pearly earlobes, and swept back and forth. From time to time, he gently held the soft earlobe with his lips and played with it and bit it lightly, like a soft feather constantly teasing this sensitive part, tickling the desires in her heart.

The comfort came like a tide, layer upon layer, and Hehuan tilted his head back hard, allowing the comfort to penetrate every cell in his body, and then turned into a soul-stirring moan that flew out of his throat.

"Woo... stop... stop teasing me... hurry... hurry up."

Chapter 428: You are looking at me, right?

"Plop~Splash~" (huge sound of water)

"Gloria, put your ring on properly!" (Edna scolds)

Amid the deafening noise, Mao Lilan, who was lying on the sofa, slowly opened her eyes.

"here it is…?"

Mao Lilan was stunned for a long time, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling and the chandelier above. She sat up, not feeling any discomfort, but rather quite refreshed. However, her mind had not yet fully understood the current situation.

"What's wrong with me...? Oh right! Sonoko!"

Xiaolan looked around but didn't see her best friend. However, she heard some playful noises coming from behind a door not far away. She stood up and walked towards the source of the noise.

When I opened the door, I saw several beauties, some wearing bikinis and some wearing bathrobes, all soaked, taking care of their dripping wet hair.

Xiaolan immediately recognized the busty beauty with exceptionally fair skin. Although Xiaolan had only met Dongshi a few times and had almost no communication with him, Dongshi's tall figure and white hair were very recognizable.

"Ms. Cangmu?" Xiaolan called out.

"what?"

Dong Shi turned around, slightly embarrassed, and lifted his soaked hair. A busty witch, frustrated at losing a water fight with a child, had secretly unleashed some of her power, filling a third of the pool with water, soaking most of the people present.

"Ms. Maori, you're awake. How are you? Are you feeling unwell?" Dong Shi asked.

"I'm okay."

Xiaolan didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She even felt that she was "too comfortable" and her body had returned to the refreshed state she had been in after soaking in the hot spring that day.

However, she was more concerned about Sonoko's condition than all that. So, Ran quickly asked, "Ms. Aoki, where exactly is this place? And... have you seen Sonoko? That's... Suzuki Sonoko, the girl with short brown hair who was with me at the teacher's wedding that day."

"This is Shangren's beach villa, where our whole family is on vacation. As for Miss Suzuki, she's still resting in the guest room. Hmm..."

Dong Shi pondered for a few seconds before composing his words and continued, "At noon, my monk and I were walking on the beach when we happened to see you and Ms. Suzuki collapsed on the beach. I think you might have suffered from heatstroke. We couldn't contact your companions, so since we all knew each other, we brought you back here."

"Heatstroke? Coma? Is that so..."

There are many loopholes in what Fuyushi said, but Xiaolan accepted it without thinking too much. After all, in her understanding, Aoki Fuyushi is Hayashi Naoto's assistant and Hayashi Naoto is a serious and responsible police officer, and she can trust them.

"Can you take me to see the garden? And... is Mr. Lin here too? I want to thank him." Xiaolan said.

"He is busy on the second floor now." Dong Shi chuckled and looked up at Hehuan's room on the second floor.

“Second floor…?”

Xiaolan followed Dongshi's gaze. Since the windows of the villa were one-way glass, she could only see the dark night reflected on them. If the windows were made of normal glass, she would have seen Hehuan's breasts pressed tightly against the window, and the mist rising from the hot breath of Hehuan.

"Um...haah...hey, they are looking this way." Hehuan turned her head and looked at Lin Shangren who was hugging her waist and bumping into her.

"You said... if I open the window wide now... if Mao Lilan sees us like this, will the image of you in her mind be directly shattered?" He Huan asked with a smile.

"There will always be a day when disillusionment comes." Lin Shangren replied, "How about I open the window now?"

“Don’t…don’t…wu…”

Although she could accept having sex in Lin Shangren's bed with other sisters, Hehuan still found it difficult to accept the public exposure with the other sisters watching.

Perhaps because the topic was too embarrassing, Hehuan became more embarrassed.

"Let's not talk about this anymore... Um~ Let's change... Let's change positions. I want to be face to face with you..."

"Good~"

Lin Shangren thrust in suddenly and then pulled out quickly. The sudden strong stimulation caused Hehuan's body to spasm. Lin Shangren then put his arms around her round shoulders and turned her naked body to face him.

Before He Huan could react, she was once again embraced in a warm embrace. Lin Shangren squatted slightly, put his hands on her knees, and lifted her up face to face.

The sudden suspension of his body made He Huan gasp softly, and his hands subconsciously hugged Lin Shangren's neck tightly. Now the two bodies were pressed together tightly without any gap.
