404 A Video Showing Only Darkness... (2/2)
”Now, you can cover our bodies with the clothes.”
One shouldn't think too deeply into that statement. Once one did that, he would realize that the two were naked. The words ”our bodies” meant that they were holding each other in their arms… Chen Mu's howl was filled with madness. The final and fatal blow was the words that followed after.
”If you don't wish to see a part of yourself missing after we are rescued, then you can continue!” Chen Mu heard Li Wan'er's words and shuddered violently. An image instantly appeared in his mind. Wang Baole and Li Wan'er were both naked and entwined in each others' arms. Wang Baole was doing something utterly despicable, and Li Wan'er, seemingly unaffected, only uttered a single statement of refusal.
That wasn't all. It would have been fine if that was the end of it. But… the contents of the jade slip ended abruptly then. A complete restoration was, after all, extremely challenging. They could only restore the video to this extent. As for what had happened after that, besides Wang Baole and Li Wan'er, no one else would know.
To have the video end here abruptly was akin to leaving Chen Mu with an unimaginable itch. He was going to go mad. A long while later, he was finally able to calm himself down. Resentment and vengeful hate shone in his eyes.
He knew that at the time of the video recording, he and Li Wan'er hadn't yet been engaged, but he still couldn't tolerate this. He understood that their goal had been to huddle together for warmth. If they hadn't done that, they might have died. But from the way he saw things, he wondered why Li Wan'er hadn't simply died. There would have been no trouble for him if she had died.
He didn't care whether Li Wan'er lived or died. What he cared about was the humiliation and shame this incident caused him!
Li Wan'er, this slut. I'll find ways to make you suffer. You're not afraid to die, right? I'll make you wish for death! As for Wang Baole… this adulterous pair, you just watch out. I may not be able to touch you now, but I can hurt your loved ones. Zhuo Yifan is the first.

Chen Mu had almost ground his teeth down completely. He lifted his head and stared unblinkingly in the direction of Wang Baole's office. His eyes and Wang Baole's seemed to meet across the vast distance and countless buildings in between.
Another person weighed down by troubles was Li Wan'er. While she was annoyed and frustrated with Chen Mu, their engagement had been decided. She had no choice in the matter. She was also troubled by Wang Baole. The earlier incident concerning the lockdown of the autonomous zones had caused their relationship to reach an icy stage. After all, she had threatened Wang Baole.
As the complicated web of relationships cast an invisible blanket over the new city, Wang Baole retracted his gaze. He pondered for a moment, then immediately sent a voice transmission to the Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College. He had to make plans for the worst. He needed the power of the four Dao Colleges to ensure his family's protection and safety.
Wang Baole's status and importance to the four Dao Colleges meant that the latter promised they would ensure his family's safety. Wang Baole had intended to send for his parents and bring them over to Mars, but it wasn't completely safe here either. The environment was also foreign to them. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to abandon that idea.
At the same time, the Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College was also silently mulling over the Zhuo Yifan incident. He had witnessed Wang Baole's forcefulness and seen the weakness in his own character. As the head of a Sect, the Sect Lord still had some passion and hotbloodedness in him. He told himself that he would never allow something like that to happen again. It was about time that the Ethereal Dao College found an appropriate time and place to emphasize its presence.
As the Zhuo Yifan incident came to an end, and as preventive measures were carried out, Wang Baole set his thoughts and feelings about Chen Mu aside in his heart. He knew that he had to follow the rules of the Federation when handling this matter. He couldn't afford to be impatient.
He also knew that everything had happened because his cultivation was still not of a high enough level. If he were at the Core Formation realm presently, everything would have been different.
Cultivation! Wang Baole sucked in a deep breath. He left his office and returned to his residence, where he began his cultivation. He could sense clearly that he was very close to a breakthrough from the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm to the perfected Foundation Establishment realm.
At the same time, beyond Mars, beyond the Solar System, in the distant, infinite space, a coffin was speeding along. It seemed to be racing through the cosmos, and when it did, time and space distorted around it. It seemed to be wandering in space-time. Perhaps it would reach Earth hundreds of thousands of years later; perhaps it would reach Earth… hundreds of thousands of years in the past!
On the other end of space, in a part of the universe not particularly far away from the Solar System, within the same space and time, there was a black jellyfish that appeared to be drifting aimlessly. If nothing unexpected happened, it appeared that it would drift past the edge of the Solar System…
