After finishing her piece, Riko was panting heavily, nearly collapsing to the ground. Fortunately, Romantina and the Rabbit Girl supported her together, preventing her from actually falling.
Although the White Sphere Device combined sound-wave vibrations, music, and cultivation, Riko herself was simply too weak. By the time she finished one piece, her body was already utterly exhausted.
Still, it was a blessing in disguise. Riko's physical strength and Soul Power had both reached the level of a Soul Grandmaster. She simply could not determine her exact rank while in the Abyss.
"Are you okay?"
Romantina took out a bag of water from her Waist Pouch, pulled out the stopper, and brought it to Riko's lips.
Gulp! Gulp!
Riko hurriedly swallowed, coughing several times before recovering. Then she touched her stomach, which began to growl.
So energy conservation still applied.
Smiling, Zhou Qing took out some roasted meat from his Storage Soul Tool, thoughtfully heated it with Soul Power, placed it on a plate, and handed it to Riko. "Have something to fill your stomach first."
"I'm really sorry." Riko blushed, but still accepted the roasted meat. Picking up a knife and fork, she began devouring it in huge bites, utterly lacking a lady's grace.
Mm—
Riko had never been much of a lady to begin with. She was an easygoing Explorer.
Through the white sphere's transparent shell, Zhou Qing looked out at the vast blue expanse outside. Not knowing how quickly the device was descending, he took out more chunks of Dragon Mane Snail Dove meat from the Gray Pouch, along with a stove, grill rack, bowls, chopsticks, and other supplies, inviting everyone to join him for roasted meat.
"I really don't know whether you people came here to explore!"
The Rabbit Girl was quite pleased to have roasted meat,
