The incident happened when Ding Meng was fighting with the caretaker. His low-light glasses, earpiece communicator, and wrist device were all broken during the battle, and he lost contact with the ground.
After Ding Meng lost contact with the caretaker, Jun Ling naturally went to the caretaker. However, after the caretaker's divine light energy was taken away by Little Rascal, Jun Ling was still no match for the caretaker.
However, Jun Ling also had a divine light weapon. She couldn't defeat the caretaker, and the caretaker couldn't kill her either. Therefore, Jun Ling decided to go all the way and focused on training on the tenth floor until she defeated the caretaker.
The caretaker was an intermediate warlord. Jun Ling spent half a year fighting the caretaker until she successfully passed the level and entered the lower floor. Of course, Jun Ling was basically covered in wounds during the process. However, what was surprising was that Jun Ling had advanced from a beginner combat master to a beginner warlord in just half a year. Moreover, judging from Jun Ling's aura, she was already an intermediate warlord. Her foundation was much deeper than an ordinary intermediate warlord's.
Jun Ling was very calm. She always had a calm expression. "It's normal. The environment here trains people."
Ding Meng couldn't help but sigh at how prescient he was back then. Jun Ling might not have any outstanding advantages, but she had an advantage because she was proficient in all fields. She was like a cockroach that couldn't be killed. No matter what kind of environment she was in, she could survive.
After Jun Ling went down to the tenth floor, she naturally lost contact with the ground. A year passed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, Qian Huanyu's huge factory base had been built on the surface. Lu Qing was naturally worried about Ding Meng, so she went underground as well.
"You guys can actually go down to the fortieth floor?" Ding Meng was surprised.
Lu Qing was definitely not the only one who could break through the tenth floor of the underground. The experts of the six major sects had also discovered the multi-colored Everlasting Flame Crystals in the crystal wells and crystal tides. Everyone knew that these things were worth many times more than high-grade fire crystals. After staying in this dark underground world for a long time, they had to deal with all kinds of Fire Clan creatures and search for crystal wells on their own. It was inevitable that small conflicts would escalate into big conflicts. Lu Qing had actually managed to survive all kinds of conflicts.
Of course, her main purpose was to find Ding Meng. The upper echelons of the Six Major Sects unanimously believed that Ding Meng had died in the depths of the earth's core, but she and Jun Ling refused to believe it no matter what and insisted on continuing to dive. Everyone knew the price of diving, but these two women relied on their tenacious willpower to reach the 40th floor, which made them look at them in a new light.
After three years, the two of them had turned into savages.
Ding Meng had seen his fair share of beautiful women. Which one of them did not have a high and mighty appearance?
Even when Ding Meng had first seen Lu Qing, she had been young and beautiful. She had not looked like this, with her clothes in rags and her body in a mess. However, it was this appearance that made Ding Meng's chest feel warm.
From the information that Ding Meng had transmitted to him through the telepathic link, Ding Meng could clearly see that Lu Qing had suffered a lot in order to find him. As a light speed Origin Ability user, she had been burned time and time again by the origin flames. She had been defeated by monsters and other experts time and time again. There were a few times when she had encountered people from the Holy War Army and the Blue Light Group. She had almost been captured and raped. If Jun Ling had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable …
In any case, this underground world was completely dark. It was not like they were in the God Wars Star Zone, where strength spoke louder than words. There was no order to speak of. Ding Meng looked at the dirty Lu Qing. For the first time, he had a new understanding of beautiful women.
Ding Meng took a deep breath and pulled her into his arms. "Lu Qing, are you willing to come with me?"
Lu Qing asked curiously, "Where are we going?"
Ding Meng's gaze was resolute. "We're going back to the surface. We're leaving this place, leaving the God Wars Star Zone. We're going back to the Federation, back to my hometown!"
Lu Qing stared at him and said in an abnormally resolute tone, "I'll go with you, Ding Meng. No matter where you go."
"Okay!"
Ding Meng placed his right hand on her exposed back. He exerted a bit of force in his palm, and a healing green essence entered her body. The large and small scars on her body quickly began to heal.
"From now on, you're mine!" The straightforward man's confession had always been rather primitive.
Lu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and a rare beautiful smile appeared on her face. "I'll listen to you, Ding Meng. No matter where we go in the future, I want to be in the same room as you. You're not allowed to distance yourself from me …"
Ding Meng nodded. "Okay …"
"Ahem!"
The straightforward woman could not hold it in any longer. "Ding Meng, can you not talk about having a child here? Even if you want to have a child, wait until we're out of danger. Can you take care of the feelings of a single woman?"
Looking at Jun Ling's cold expression, Ding Meng could not help but laugh. The warmth in his heart grew stronger. Didn't Jun Ling spend three years underground because of Ding Meng?
Although the two of them were not in a romantic relationship, at this moment, Jun Ling truly gave him the feeling of family.
"Jun Ling!" Ding Meng looked at her. "I'll be your big brother in the future, okay?"
Jun Ling waved her hand carelessly. "That's how it is. What's there to be like? You're so boring, Ding Meng. You don't even know how to coax a girl."
It was impossible for Little Rascal to not show up at this time. "Yes, yes, yes. You're absolutely right. Ding Meng, this big fool, is such an idiot. But that's good too. This time there's a bed warmer. You didn't come down for nothing. Let me calculate. In the future, among Lu Qing, Dai Yi, Lan Bing, who will be the main wife?
Who will be the second wife?
Who will be the mistress?
Do you want to learn from the ancient emperors? I'll arrange for you to flip the cards … "
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "Little Rascal, can you be any more boring?"
Little Rascal argued, "What did I say wrong?"
Xiao Ai's tone was deep. "Mm … very good!"
Jun Ling spoke again. "Ding Meng, it'll be a bit difficult to go back now."
Her gaze fell on a mass of chaos in front of her. Ding Meng had long since sensed that in addition to Lu Qing and Jun Ling, there were several other powerful auras of Origin Energy in front of them.
"What's going on here?" Ding Meng asked.
Lu Qing hurriedly explained, "The Blue Light Corporation's subordinates came from Platinum. They originally came down to find you, but we found a lot of five-colored crystals, so …"
Although her words were simple, Ding Meng understood the meaning behind them. He had already offended the Blue Light Corporation back on Azure Tree Planet. Now that they came down to find him, they were definitely waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. In the end, they didn't find him. Instead, they found Jun Ling and Lu Qing monopolizing the crystal well. Naturally, they wanted to think about the crystals.
It's one thing to block my path, but you want to touch my companions? Dream on! A cold light flashed through Ding Meng's eyes.
According to Jun Ling's message, the people on the other side weren't weak. One of them was a guy called Bai Zheng, who was a direct descendant of Platinum. This guy was already over 150 years old. In the God Wars Star Field, he was still elegant and graceful. However, after coming to the underground world, his nature was exposed. There were a few times when he actually wanted to touch Lu Qing.
If he didn't have such thoughts, Lu Qing and Jun Ling wouldn't have been able to survive until now. Because Bai Zheng was pressuring them step by step, he didn't intend to kill them. He wanted to force Lu Qing until she had no strength to resist. Only then would he be able to make his move.
Ding Meng immediately became expressionless. "Let's go and meet him."
Jun Ling was more familiar with Ding Meng's habits. When Ding Meng had this kind of expression, it usually meant that he wanted to kill.
However, Lu Qing suddenly pulled him back, her face full of worry. "Ding Meng, don't go. Let's slow him down and think of a way. That guy is very powerful. He's one of the ten aces of the Blue Light Group."
In Lu Qing's mind, Ding Meng was only a general-level powerhouse. Only by pushing his Origin Energy to the limit could he reach the Battle Monarch level. He might not have any chance of winning against Bai Zheng.
As for the Top Ten Aces, Ding Meng had never heard of them. Anyway, the result was the same whether she had heard of them or not. Ding Meng took off the rainbow backpack on her waist and handed it to Jun Ling. "I still have some equipment in my backpack. Put on your armor!"
The intention of this move was obvious. Jun Ling and Jun Ling were almost naked. Since Ding Meng recognized Lu Qing as his woman, he naturally wouldn't let her meet others in her current state. This meant that Ding Meng really wanted to meet Bai Zheng.
Compared to Lu Qing's worry, Jun Ling's face was relaxed. "It's fine. Ding Meng is back. No matter how strong that old man is, can he be stronger than Ding Meng?"
Lu Qing thought about it and felt that this made sense. If she didn't have confidence in Ding Meng, then who else would have confidence in Ding Meng?
After passing through this cave, they arrived at another cave that was even larger. The crystal well in the center still seemed very calm. It seemed that the crystal tide hadn't arrived yet.
There were a total of five people surrounding the crystal well. Ding Meng recognized Bai Zheng at a glance.
The people of the Blue Light Group all had one thing in common. They often wore formal clothes, mostly suits and windbreakers. The five men in front of him were the same. However, four of their suits had long been melted to nothing. Only a short, middle-aged man was still wearing a white shirt. Although the shirt was stained with many stains, it was enough to prove that this person's strength was extraordinary. The Origin Energy he stimulated could form a defensive layer on the surface of his body, preventing him from being burned by the surrounding flames.
This Bai Zheng's hair was a little white, and his movements seemed a little sluggish. However, it was impossible for him not to sense Ding Meng and the other two walking out.
"You're finally willing to come out?"
Bai Zheng smiled sinisterly. His small eyes stared straight at Lu Qing's towering chest. "President Lu, have you thought it through?"
Ding Meng stepped forward and said, "What do you mean?"
"Eh?" Bai Zheng was a little surprised. He carefully sized up Ding Meng. "I was wondering who it was.
So it's Ding Meng from the Long Voyage Alliance. No wonder you have the guts to come here. "
Ding Meng said without batting an eyelid, "It seems like you've been waiting for the two of them here."
A playful expression floated across Bai Zheng's face. "President Lu is my woman. What's wrong with me waiting for her?"
"You seem to be mistaken about something!" Ding Meng responded indifferently. "Lu Qing is my woman. She should come with me."
Bai Zheng wasn't angry. He looked at Ding Meng meaningfully. "Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"
Ding Meng sneered. "Even if Bai Jinlai was in that position, I would still speak in the same tone. Do you have a problem?"
