Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Yang Fan didn’t turn his head, and answered, "I am thinking maybe we could cultivate a plant similar to Boston Ivy. Its roots can secrete a sticky substance to reinforce dams, but it’s non-corrosive.

If it’s an earthen dam, this plant can prevent soil erosion. If it’s a concrete dam, it can cover the dam, reducing weathering effects on the cement and greatly slowing the aging process."

Ling Shuiling immediately praised, "That’s a great idea!"

Yang Fan continued, "Besides reinforcing the dam, it must have a very strong adaptability, able to withstand both high and low temperatures, otherwise it will die if there’s a sudden climatic change, rendering such a species meaningless.

It also must be as aesthetically pleasing as possible, ideally having a very long flowering period, capable of blooming flowers of various colors. Once it enters the blooming phase, the whole dam will turn into a huge wall of flowers, making the city more scenic."

He went on listing several more features, painting the picture of an almost all-capable plant.

The female secretary really didn’t know what to say.

With so many requirements, and such prematurely high standards, it’s feared that even the Superpower Research Institute would get a severe headache, right?

Only her boyfriend would dare to think like this.

Yang Fan pondered for a while, but his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of light footsteps.

He looked back and couldn’t help but feel a slight warmth in his heart.

He saw Ling Shuiling dressed in a very thin black tight-fitting outfit, showcasing her perfect figure vividly.

Her figure was already great, and after the awakening of succubus traits, it became even more perfect, truly interpreting what "a tad more would be excessive, a tad less would be deficient" means.

Honestly, this outfit seemed even more enticing than being scantily clad.

The female secretary stood on a large cushion, her captivating form gracefully leaping as she performed a kind of mysterious dance.

Her dance appeared elegant, without any overtly seductive movements, yet it carried an indescribable allure, making one feel a rush of qi and blood.

This was not mere attraction, but it vaguely touched the soul.

This dance has a name—Nine Luminaries Sensual Dance.

Its origin is very peculiar, even Yang Fan found it difficult to comprehend.

About half a month ago.

Ling Shuiling, while sleeping at night, vaguely heard a voice whispering in her ear; the moment she woke up, the whisper would disappear.

The female secretary was very sure that this wasn’t a dream realm.

Yang Fan checked her several times and observed her soul state for a long period but found nothing unusual.

A few days later, one morning, when the two were having breakfast, Ling Shuiling suddenly felt an urge to dance.

Under Yang Fan’s inexplicable gaze, she put down her chopsticks and remarkably fluently performed this nine-segment dance without having danced it even once before, as if she had practiced a long time.

A minute later, when the Nine Luminaries Sensual Dance reached its fifth segment, the female secretary entered a completely absorbed state.

A strange phenomenon occurred.

A kind of pink mist, invisible to the naked eye and only visible from a soul perspective, emerged around Ling Shuiling.

When the female secretary finished the last segment, her body came to a stop, and the pink mist vanished in an instant.

Ling Shuiling chuckled lightly, "I’ve only been dancing for ten days, yet I feel my body’s flexibility is stronger than many professional dancers."

She casually made a movement, raising her right hand to the highest point.

Her right leg slowly lifted, forming a standing ’split’, with her toe effortlessly touching her palm.

While wearing tight-fitting clothes, this movement was indeed suggestive.

Yang Fan looked at the split, and said, "Your spiritual power has increased by 0.5 points since yesterday; within a month or so, you should be able to awaken the succubus superpower."

Such a rise of 0.5 points in just one day is extraordinary even within the Jiuzhou Legion, yet the female secretary hadn’t even awakened her superpower. It’s hard to believe if told.

The effect was so remarkable, partly due to the mysterious effect of the Nine Luminaries Sensual Dance, and partly thanks to the succubus cultivation technique he tailored for his girlfriend.

Ling Shuiling lowered her slender leg and quietly activated her succubus superpower traits, emitting an astonishing allure all over.

The female secretary showed a bewitching smile, "I feel a bit uncomfortable in my muscles, could you massage me?"

That "massage" clearly carried a special implication.

Yang Fan didn’t refuse, "Alright."

The glass in the observation room had a coating, you could see outside from inside but not the reverse, so there’d be no problem even if something happened.

Soon.

Ling Shuiling got her wish.

The atmosphere in the observation room turned heated.

Yang Fan surprisingly discovered something, "It seems the succubus traits from practicing the Nine Luminaries Sensual Dance have a mild stimulative effect on my spiritual power."

The so-called "mild stimulative effect" simply meant that the growth rate of spiritual power would speed up slightly.

Yang Fan didn’t care much about this slight increment, but to other superpower users, it would be a dream come true.

He genuinely hadn’t expected that the succubus traits could also have an auxiliary cultivation effect.

"Then you’d better massage me more often from now on!"

The female secretary wrapped her arms around him.

On the other side of Canglan Star.

Carmenia Federation.

"Boom!"

A great thunder echoed.

The Juan Dam, which appeared in many films and is the largest dam in the Federation, was breached by the frenzied hydraulic power.

This dam, built 90 years ago, had seen very little maintenance over the last half-century and had developed some vulnerabilities.

This was not because the Federation didn’t want to maintain the dam, but because there were too many Commissioner Smiths.

The funds for such maintenance projects should first fill the pockets of a group of commissioners, with whatever’s left used for the actual work.

Hence, the budget must be a tremendous figure, beyond what the authorities could afford.

With the rapidly warming climate of Canglan Star, the flow of the Colorado River increased several folds, surpassing historical high water marks, finally overwhelming the aging dam.

With "billions of cubic meters" as its unit, the water surged monstrously toward the downstream of Juan Dam.

In no time.

The city of Edson, 20 kilometers away, was swallowed by the torrent.

Buildings were effortlessly swept away by water, the entire city turned into ruins.

Although the Federation authorities did nothing at all, not even issuing a warning.

However, the Land of Freedom’s network had long sent flood prevention guidelines to the Carmenians, so people of Edson had long relocated to other places in advance.

Jacob was among them.

Two days before, when the Colorado River’s flow had just started to rise, he followed the guideline’s suggestion and moved his family to a highland.

Since there were not many shelters available, more than twenty thousand people gathered at this highland.

At this moment, Jacob stood in the drizzle, holding binoculars with both hands, staring at the flood sweeping across the land in shock.

"Oh my God!"

"Lord!"

Exclamations echoed across the highland.

Jacob, with a pale face, cursed, "Sh*t!"

His wife’s voice trembled, "It’s fortunate that we followed the Great Xia people’s advice, otherwise we would have been drowned."

Everyone not an idiot knows the flood-prevention guide was compiled by the Great Xia people for disaster prevention and self-rescue, entirely different from the Federation’s official stance.

Jacob cursed, "The Great Xia people built thousands of dams and reservoirs, not one city was flooded, while the Federation did nothing; this damned place is awful."

He made up his mind, "Honey, once the flood subsides, we must leave this sinister demon breeding farm."

His wife hesitated, "The borders are very tight now, I heard illegal border-crossing leads to being caught and sacrificed to demons."

Jacob resolutely said, "After the flood, everything will be chaotic, and control will likely relax; it’s the best chance to escape."

His wife was still indecisive, "It’s too dangerous."

Previously, only people from other countries sneaked into the Federation, now it’s the Carmenians wanting to flee.

One has to admit, this is indeed a black humor.

Just then.

Suddenly, fearful screams erupted from the crowd dozens of meters away.

"Ah!"

"Run!"

"Demons are here!"

Jacob was stunned, blurting out, "Mike is still in the car!"

To evade the flood, many parked their vehicles directly on the highland, using them as camps, as did Jacob.

Earlier, he and his wife came to watch the flood, leaving their son Mike and mother-in-law Dora in the car.

Without a second thought, Jacob dashed towards where his car was.

He only ran a dozen meters before witnessing an incredibly horrifying scene.

Several blood beams fell from the sky, striking the few people in front like lightning; their bodies rapidly dehydrated, turning into mummies within seconds.

"Bang! Bang!"

The mummies exploded into a cloud of black mist.

A hideous voice emerged from the black mist, dripping with malice, "Miss Vivian, I didn’t expect you’d be hiding here."
