"Eh..."

Li Sushang was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's okay. Anyway, we have a long life ahead of us, and I still have time to grow."

"Sushang, let me tell you the truth."

Ling Xi sighed and said, "Even if you grow to your limit, your success rate will probably not exceed 20%. In other words, even if your strength reaches the pinnacle of your life, there is an 80% chance that you will not be able to withstand the backlash of the top-level Hypervariable Factor and lose your life."

Li Sushang: "..."

Hearing this, Li Sushang seemed a little conflicted, because... she was also afraid of dying!

After all, she was just a young girl. No matter how brave she was, she couldn't possibly be fearless of death, although...

What she cared about more was that if she couldn't inject the top-tier Hypervariable Factor, then... she wouldn't be able to be with Ling Xi forever. Compared to death... perhaps, that was even more terrifying.

"Heh, alright, alright, what are you worried about?"

Seeing Li Sushang looking somewhat distressed, Ling Xi couldn't help but hug her and said with a smile, "Although I didn't lie to you just now, I have another plan. Although I can't have you with me forever, I can still let us meet in the future."

"What's the meaning?"

Li Sushang looked at Ling Xi curiously, wondering if they would meet in the future...?

"Master, do you have a time machine?"

Suddenly, Li Sushang realized something and said, "After all, the things you took out, Master, and the history books you showed me back then, are obviously from hundreds of years in the future. So... Master, when you said we would meet in the future, were you planning to send me to the future using a time machine?"

Having been exposed to various comics, novels, and anime, Li Sushang knew a lot about science fiction, especially time machines. Although Ling Xi had told her that such things didn't exist, Li Sushang still held onto a sliver of hope, after all...

She felt that her master might very well be from the future!

"Dream on."

Ling Xi pursed her lips and said, "If I had a time machine, I would have left this godforsaken place long ago. After all, this broken era doesn't even have the internet, online shopping is impossible, and going out is such a hassle. So... do you think I would stay in this godforsaken place if I could travel through time?"

"Eh..."

Li Sushang was stunned for a moment, and it seemed... that made sense!

Although I've read some time-travel novels, I'm more interested in urban and science fiction novels because they depict eras I've never seen!

In addition, various movies and anime have given Li Sushang a full understanding of modern life. To be honest, there is really no comparison between this era and the future world!

"Then Master, what do you mean...?"

Since it's not a time machine, what is the other method Ling Xi mentioned?

"Hibernation Pod, you idiot."

Ling Xi said irritably, "I'll put you into a hibernation state directly. That way, even if hundreds of years have passed, it will just be like you've taken a nap. Using this method, I can send you to the future without any worries."

"Oh..."

Li Sushang nodded thoughtfully, but then asked, "Does Master have Hibernation Pod?"

Li Sushang knew this from the novel; although Ling Xi lived in a technological age with things like computers, mobile phones, and cars,...

Hibernation Pod are usually only seen in science fiction novels, so such a Hibernation Pod probably doesn't exist.

"Of course..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "The one your Ancestor Chiyuan is lying in right now is Hibernation Pod, but it's not in Hibernation Pod mode right now, it's in recovery mode!"

"Oh oh..."

Li Sushang nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "So, Master, you had already arranged my future. Hehe, I knew Master was the best. You even specially prepared Hibernation Pod for me."

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi touched his nose and smiled, "Sushang, actually... that Hibernation Pod of your Ancestor Chiyuan was specially reserved for you."

Li Sushang: "..." You actually took my things and gave them to another Lü Ren?

However, I'll bear with it for the sake of the other party being my grandmaster.

Even so, she was still a little annoyed!

"Alright, Sushang."

Ling Xi ruffled Li Sushang's hair and smiled, "Chiyuan Yuan's awakening is probably just a matter of the next two years. Once she awakens, I will arrange for you to enter hibernation as soon as possible."

"I..."

Li Sushang seemed to have something to say, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded gently, "Yes, Master, Sushang... understands."

Chapter 576: Fu Hua: Did I wake up at the wrong time?

Since their confrontation that night, their relationship has grown closer quickly. However, apart from being more intimate and occasionally kissing, nothing else has changed. If there's any change, it's...

That is because Li Sushang has been cultivating even harder than before, because...

She wanted to become stronger, at least to be worthy of Ling Xi, in other words.

She wanted Ling Xi's top-tier Hypervariable Factor; only in this way could she stay with Ling Xi forever!

Although Ling Xi said that Hibernation Pod could be used to travel to the future to meet, but...

Rather than using escape as a way to travel to the future, Li Sushang would prefer to stay and travel to the future with Ling Xi, because there are at least five hundred years between here and the era Ling Xi mentioned, and Li Sushang is worried about Ling Xi for those five hundred years.

Because he had said that he would be with Ling Xi forever, if he were to go into hibernation and travel to the future now, wouldn't Ling Xi be left all alone again for the next five hundred years?

I want to be with Ling Xi, mainly because I really like Ling Xi. After all, my master is really handsome and he's really good to me. But at the same time... I also want to keep Ling Xi from feeling lonely, so I'm doing this!

Now, if I leave Ling Xi alone and go to the future, what difference does it make whether I stay with Ling Xi or not?

Therefore, Li Sushang wanted to become stronger, until she could withstand the backlash from the top-tier Hypervariable Factor!

In short, unless absolutely necessary, I will never go into hibernation!

In the room, Ling Xi was still studying gene technology. Before, she had only chosen to study it because she was bored, but now Ling Xi had a goal in mind. Perhaps... she could find the answers to genes in the Doctor's notes!

"Master!"

Suddenly, Li Sushang burst in and saw Ling Xi studying again. She pounced on Ling Xi, hanging on his back, and grumbled, "Master, why are you studying again? Don't you come and play with me for a while?"

"I've been waiting for you, haven't I?"

Upon seeing Li Sushang arrive, Ling Xi immediately dropped the documents, then turned slightly to look at the little girl behind him and asked, "Sushang, are you finished training?"

"Uh-huh!"

Li Sushang also let go of Ling Xi, then sat directly on Ling Xi's lap, and proudly laughed, "This amount of training is nothing to me, it's a piece of cake."

"As expected of you..."

Ling Xi just smiled and wasn't surprised at all. After all, this girl's talent was really strong, not to mention that she now had the power of the Hypervariable Factor in her body.

"Then... Master, considering how hard I've worked, shouldn't you give me a reward?"

Li Sushang looked at Ling Xi with a grin, as if she was expecting something.

"Award?"

Ling Xi naturally understood Li Sushang's meaning, but she still deliberately asked, "Then, what reward does Little Li Zi want?"

Ling Xi clearly knew what Li Sushang was thinking, but... she just wanted to hear Li Sushang say it herself.

"I..."

Li Sushang pouted and snorted, "Master, you know what I mean."

"I don't understand."

Ling Xi still looked curious.

"Hmph, fine, don't give it to me then, who cares?"

Li Sushang pouted and tried to get up from Ling Xi.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Ling Xi quickly hugged Li Sushang and then kissed her cherry lips...

Ling Xi's proficiency in this activity goes without saying, and after a day of training, Li Sushang has gradually learned to take the initiative, because she found that doing this kind of thing is actually quite comfortable, except...

I sometimes experience difficulty breathing, but...

I'm very happy.

"Sword Heart..."

In the underground chamber, the Hibernation Pod suddenly stopped working and then opened its hatch...

"Um, what am I doing..."

Inside the Hibernation Pod, Fu Hua, dressed in pristine white, opened her eyes, countless images flashing through her mind...

Master, I'm sorry...

This is the last chance; if they fall into demonic possession... they must be killed!

Master, this move was taught to me by you, Taixu... Sword God!

Finally, a golden sword aura pierced his brain!

"Ugh..."

Suddenly, she felt a splitting headache. Although she had lost a lot of her memories, however...

She remembered how she died; it was truly... a cruel twist of fate!

Fu Hua slowly sat up, and then she noticed that she was lying in... Hibernation Pod?

Moreover, judging from this style, it seems to be the one that Cangxuan and Danzhu repaired. Could it be that the two of them have woken up?

Upon seeing the Hibernation Pod, Fu Hua was basically certain that someone she knew had saved her, but... was it Cangxuan or Ling Xi?

Fu Hua glanced around and noticed that there were still light bulbs around. Obviously, this was not a product of this era. So either he had woken up in the modern world, or someone he knew had come to find him. Fu Hua was more inclined to believe the latter, because if it were the modern world, he would not be in such a rudimentary place!

"Let's go take a look first..."

Fu Hua stood up immediately, and then she saw the stairs...

"Master..."

Inside the room, Li Sushang looked at Ling Xi with an obedient expression and asked softly, "Should we... continue?"

"Continue?"

Ling Xi paused for a moment, then immediately understood what Li Sushang meant, and shook her head, "No, you're still too..."

"I'm not young anymore."

Li Sushang clearly knew what Ling Xi wanted to say, and snorted, "If this were outside, I would have been married for at least two years by now."

Ling Xi "..."

"That's a remnant of feudal society!"

Ling Xi said irritably, "Sushang, didn't I teach you to trust science? We can't eliminate these feudal remnants, nor can we adapt to them. Besides, your mother didn't get married until she was in her twenties, so what's the rush?"

"Ugh..."

Li Sushang was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't seem to find a reason to refute it. However... if Ling Xi's statement was true, then she would need at least three more years. Three years...

I've been by Ling Xi's side for three years, then another three years, then another three years, and now it's been ten years already, boss!

And now you're telling me I have to wait another three years?

Even the most adventurous game like Blue Moon can't last this long, can it?

"Really..."

Li Sushang seemed a little unhappy, but she didn't mean to go against Ling Xi's wishes. She simply turned around and kissed Ling Xi. Since they couldn't do anything else, then... they could kiss as much as they wanted.

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi wanted to resist, but Sushang's pre-installed device was too big, perfectly inheriting her mother's bloodline. Speaking of Qin Suyi... well, never mind, she didn't have Dian Wei to protect her!

"Dudu..."
