Julia stuck to her the moment she approached, and Bai Fu knew she was about to have her energy siphoned off.
The sudden pressure in her head uncontrollably triggered a thought—
Although she had always known that Julia had a broad mind, she didn't expect that Julia was actually holding back.
What on earth did this woman eat to grow up, was she cheating?
Bai Fu had no time to ponder this question.
Within a few seconds of contact, she felt her Spiritual Ability Bar fill up with cool energy that flowed from Julia.
She had to say, the speed of this magic refilling was much slower compared to the time outside of the Truth Society's main base.
She wasn't sure if it was because Julia was initially weak, and had nearly been drained dry from the last round of refilling, or if Julia was deliberately controlling the speed of Spiritual Energy transmission.
Bai Fu, being entwined, didn't know and didn't have the luxury to ask, so she just settled down to experience this special process of magic refilling.
It was a process of pulling and entangling; it took a full two minutes before the increase in the Spiritual Ability Bar finally stopped.
Julia's head tilted slightly back, her complexion was even paler than before, only her cheeks and eyes seemed to retain some gloss.
"It's actually a bit over now."
"How come so quickly?" Surprise was plain in Julia's eyes.
Bai Fu rolled her eyes, "I already told you I was almost out of trouble, but you wouldn't believe it. Okay now, you can loosen your grip, or else I might get swollen from being pinched too much."
"I can't let go, I feel completely weak and my legs are sore, I can't stand without holding on to you, just let me rest for a while, doing this kind of thing is too tiring."
It seemed in order to prove that she wasn't lying, Julia simply leaned against Bai Fu.
Is it possible that there are many places on my body you could have held on to, why did you have to grab my butt?
"Also, was it necessary to argue while transferring Spiritual Energy?"
"Weren't you the one who started it?"
Bai Fu began to doubt her memory.
Wait, how did it become my fault; wasn't it you who initiated it?
What a person, she bites back the moment she gets a chance!
Julia weakly said, "Stop overthinking it, I am a doctor, and you are the patient. A doctor performing rehabilitation therapy on a patient, that's all there is to it."
Bai Fu stared seriously at Julia, "This is my first time."
"It's also my first time," Julia replied coldly.
Bai Fu said, "Isn't it also possible to transfer Spiritual Energy through blood?"
"I'm afraid of pain. I don't want to prick my fingertip again; the pain reminds me of being trapped in the lab and having my Spiritual Energy extracted. Earlier, it was an emergency, so I let you suck my blood, but now it isn't that urgent, so we used a simpler method." Julia's voice suddenly grew somber.
She felt that, comparatively speaking, sucking blood seemed the simpler approach, but there was some logic to Julia's words, so internally, Bai Fu gave Julia a label—
Fortunately, she was more clever, having researched countless romance comics and novels despite her young age; otherwise, she would have been manipulated by the crafty Julia.
"If you want to sleep, wait until we're in the car, let me help you with your shoes first."
Bai Fu placed Julia back in the chair and then picked up the shoes that had been kicked away.
She gently grabbed Julia's heel and pondered as she slipped the shoes on.
If possible, she would of course like Julia to join the Silent Court like Old Nison and become her assistant.
Julia's power was outstanding even across the entire Ancestral Origin Star, and with the unawakened True Spirit's Child Template overhead, Bai could be certain her Talent was first-class. Moreover, her role in the game's original storyline was quite significant. If Julia were willing to join the Silent Court...
"Then my custom mainline plan will be able to proceed much smoother."
If Julia wasn't willing to join the Silent Court, then so be it; was Bai Fu supposed to imprison her?
Bai Fu was no brute; unless absolutely necessary, she disliked using force.
"Let's ask when we get back to Bai Fu Town. Whether she's willing to join the Silent Court or not, I'll definitely continue to fleece her."
The regional mainline task in Goli Desert, Watcher's Lament, had a total of six branches, and Bai had completed three of them, leaving three others: Order Guardian, Ideal Country, and Julia's Secret.
She could settle the former two branches at any time, but Julia's Secret required her to explore the source of Julia's power. Bai had been coveting this task for a long time, especially after completing the rescue-Julia branch; she was even more eager for the rewards of this task.
Would the game give her another opportunity to extract from Julia?
She couldn't help looking forward to it!
It was at this moment Julia's voice suddenly rang in Bai Fu's ear.
"Why are you constantly staring at my feet, is there something wrong with them?"
Nonsense, who's staring at your feet? I'm clearly looking at the task panel!
Bai Fu hastily finished putting on Julia's shoes, then carried Julia out of the room. She needed to find a vehicle to transport the materials collected by Black Fu back.
When she returned to the surface, she suddenly saw a familiar face.
From an army truck, Master Tai'er poked his head out from the driver's seat, waving frantically.
Bai Fu walked over and realized there wasn't just Master Tai'er on the truck; other players from the Truth Society were also present.
"Why are you all here?"
Master Tai'er quickly explained how things came about, including how he and other Silver Winged Killers had collaborated to blow up the central control power distribution room of the Truth Society's base area A.
