Chapter 65: Balancing the Water
by 临光Chapter 65: Balancing the Water
As a succubus, Ji Jing could naturally see that Doma was deliberately using his charm to provoke Luo Ke.
But just like most men who can tell when someone is being flirtatious but choose to play dumb, if the other party is being flirtatious to win their favor, then—
At least she’s putting in effort for me!
However, Ji Jing soon regretted it because Doma not only provoked Luo Ke but also dragged Long Su into the mix, clearly trying to team up with Long Su to isolate Luo Ke first.
At this point, any attempt to mediate would be futile, so Ji Jing decisively chose the typical playboy tactic of defusing tension—
"Ah, my head hurts a bit, please stop arguing."
Sure enough, this statement had an immediate effect. The three, who were about to come to blows, immediately gathered around Ji Jing, showing concern, though they still subtly vied for attention.
In the end, Luo Ke, leveraging his strength, successfully took Ji Jing away, leaving Long Su and Doma staring at each other in frustration.
Seeing that Luo Ke seemed ready to take him to his mech, Ji Jing quickly intervened, "No, Luo Ke, take me to the shaman first; I have something to ask her."
Luo Ke was a bit reluctant. He found Long Su and Doma annoying, especially Doma, and couldn’t bear to stay here another minute. He wanted to leave the planet as soon as possible, far away from those two irritating guys.
But in the end, he obediently took Ji Jing back to the shaman's residence.
Ji Jing didn't really have a headache; he had another reason—
"Great Shaman, you are well-versed in many things. Do you know of anyone who is as transparent as water?" Ji Jing asked.
Before the shaman could answer, Luo Ke provided the answer, "Transparent people? You mean the Hidden Spirits?"
The shaman confirmed Luo Ke's statement, "The Hidden Spirits are indeed transparent. They are extremely skilled at hiding and blending in, making them very hard to detect if you're not careful.
However, they generally live secluded on their own planet and rarely interact with outsiders. Why do you suddenly ask about them?"
Ji Jing explained, "I asked the Mother Tree a question, and it didn't give me an answer. Instead, it projected a scene into my mind—a transparent person dressed in ceremonial robes performing a ritual, with a group of other transparent people dancing alongside."
The shaman smiled, "The person you described is likely the High Priest of the Hidden Spirits. Doma knows him; we have a partnership with the Hidden Spirits, and Doma usually communicates directly with their High Priest."
Ji Jing's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great!"
Luo Ke experienced an ominous premonition, realizing that he would not be able to shake off Doma's pursuit, nor the green tea, for the time being.
Sure enough, when Ji Jing approached Doma and expressed his desire to meet the High Priest of the Hidden Spirits, Doma immediately agreed, "Sure, I'll go with you to the Hidden Spirits. The High Priest should give me some face."
Just as Luo Ke was about to say he would join them, Doma added, "However, the Hidden Spirits are quite conservative, even more so than our Elven race. It wouldn't be convenient for others to accompany us."
Luo Ke: …
Not only was Doma excluding him, but he was also implying that Luo Ke was an unwelcome outsider among the elves.
Luo Ke wasn't deterred; he calmly said, "It takes two transfers to reach the planet where the Hidden Spirits reside by spaceship, which would take ten days round trip. But if we use my private mech for a direct jump, it would only take one day."
This time, it was Doma's turn to be frustrated: …
Damn, having a private mech is such a big deal?
Luo Ke continued, "As the clan leader, you must be very busy. You don't need to spare several weeks to accompany us. Just write a letter of introduction for Ji Jing, and I will accompany him."
Before Doma could object, Ji Jing clapped his hands in agreement, "That's right, Doma. You are always so busy, and it wouldn't be right to inconvenience you. Luo Ke is on leave now, and it would be more convenient for him to accompany me."
Doma: …
Doma didn't get angry; he just smiled, "Alright, but the Hidden Spirits are currently holding a grand ceremony, and the entire planet is in lockdown. It will reopen in a week, so you can stay on Spry Star for a week."
Upon hearing this, not only did Luo Ke show his displeasure, but Ji Jing also looked pale—
He was really craving human food; even nutrient solution would be better than that Ling Juice by a thousand times.
Seeing the matter settled, Doma arranged accommodations for Luo Ke, but Luo Ke refused.
"No need to trouble yourself. Ji Jing and I can stay in the mech together."
Doma frowned, and Ji Jing also felt it might not be appropriate, "Luo Ke, I think I should stay here. I've gotten used to staying here for so long."
Luo Ke put on a pitiful expression and hooked his fingers with Ji Jing's, "Ji Jing, I have something I want to talk to you about alone, and... I need you!"
Ji Jing was taken aback, remembering that Luo Ke was still in his receptive phase and needed comfort, so he nodded, "Alright, then."
Watching Luo Ke triumphantly lead Ji Jing away, Doma gritted his teeth, "Damn green tea A, shameless!"
Beside him, the honest Long Su: …
He felt like a little chick caught in a high school brawl, nervous, lost, helpless, and extremely afraid.
This time, Luo Ke didn't bring his Black Panther but his private mech, the Deep Sea.
Once inside the mech, Luo Ke almost couldn't wait to kiss Ji Jing, all his longing and melancholy turning into intense desire in that moment.
Ji Jing was almost suffocated by the kiss and had to push him away forcefully.
"Luo Ke, relax a bit, don't be so hasty."
Luo Ke didn't continue, but he held Ji Jing tightly from behind, as if afraid he would run away.
Resting his chin on Ji Jing's shoulder, Luo Ke sniffed the pheromones that captivated him and said in a deep voice, "Ji Jing, there's something I need to tell you. Can you promise not to be angry?"
Ji Jing raised an eyebrow, "Hmm? What is it? Tell me."
Luo Ke swiped his optical brain and projected an electronic report onto the screen opposite the sofa.
"This is... a pheromone compatibility test?"
Luo Ke nodded, "Yes, I applied for the use of your pheromone sample to conduct a compatibility test without your consent."
Normally, hospitals would not perform such tests without the individual's signed consent, but there were always exceptions. The privileged class often had their ways, and Luo Ke was clearly among them.
Ji Jing didn't pay too much attention to this; after all, Luo Ke had mentioned it before, and he had agreed. It was just that later, while in Imperial Star, they got caught up in various matters. Luo Ke was busy, and he hadn't brought it up again.
"But you should see this result!"
Luo Ke swiped his hand, and the report on the projection scrolled to the bottom, revealing the result to Ji Jing—
Alpha Pheromone Sample Source: Luo Ke Tang En
Omega Pheromone Sample Source: Ji Jing
Pheromone Compatibility Result: 100%
Luo Ke announced with a hint of pride, "Ji Jing, we were meant to be together from the start!"
"Author's Note"

Ten minutes later, he threw the bowl away~
