Chapter 1111 - 315: Invitation_2
"Even a stone can grow to this extent, surely you can continue to become stronger."
Cheng Xinghai’s gloomy mood had already dissipated while listening to Chen Ming recount the past.
She was very interested in Chen Ming’s past, listening attentively.
"I remember you didn’t talk this detailed, this much in the simulation before."
"Because the situation was different back then."
Chen Ming explained matter-of-factly: "At that time you were just a prisoner, and I was only brushing you off. But now, I’m seriously telling you things."
Hearing this, Cheng Xinghai immediately climbed up and jumped onto Chen Ming’s back, wrapping her arms around his neck and said: "I knew you were brushing me off before, always staring at the computer."
She didn’t exert any force at all, it was just playful behavior.
It seems Chen Ming’s comfort proved effective.
"Alright, alright, that’s enough. I already hear my mother-in-law’s footsteps downstairs, if we don’t go out now..."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xinghai quickly let go of Chen Ming’s neck, jumped off the bed, put on her shoes, and hurriedly ran outside.
She picked up a pen and continued to jot down the people who needed to be invited to the engagement party.
The time quickly reached noon.
Chen Ming formally had a meal with Bai Quan’s family.
Of course, there was some chatting during the meal.
Chen Ming was roughly aware of the progress of the engagement party.
After a morning of effort, the guest list for the engagement party was more or less decided, with potentially only minor adjustments later on.
However, the decision about which family would host the engagement party hadn’t been made yet.
The mother-in-law seemed a bit troubled.
She went out today to inspect a wedding planning company in person and asked around, but on the way back, she received calls from dozens of different wedding companies.
It seems it will take some time to pick a suitable one.
The venue for the engagement party will be arranged according to the location of the wedding company chosen.
The date for the engagement party is also set, two weeks from now.
Sufficient time is allocated to prepare everything.
Besides these, the topic of the engagement rings was obviously brought up during the meal as well.
Chen Ming decisively took on this task.
But Bai Quan indicated something to Chen Ming when he heard that Chen Ming was taking on this task, as if he had something to say.
After lunch, Bai Quan went to the balcony first.
Chen Ming understood, he also went to the balcony, closing the door behind him.
As the family residence of the Legion personnel, the soundproofing here is quite good, so people inside the room couldn’t hear Chen Ming and Bai Quan’s conversation.
Bai Quan didn’t waste words and directly spoke about what Chen Ming had brought up regarding the engagement rings: "You said you’d prepare the rings, are you planning to use something given by the Legion Commander?"
"Yes, the Spiritual Stone, its property is love, it’s quite suitable, isn’t it?"
Bai Quan nodded slightly but also shook his head.
"I’ve heard some information from my friends at the Spiritual Ability Research Institute, that the love Spiritual Stone seems to have some negative effects."
Chen Ming admitted: "That’s right, after establishing a mental link between two Psychics, whether it’s a breakup or in case one party dies due to an accident or any reason, it would have a significant impact on the other party."
"The negative effect is the biggest flaw of this Spiritual Stone."
"I know what you’re worried about, but there’s no need to be."
"The special effect of the love Spiritual Stone needs to be actively activated by two Psychics, as long as it’s not activated, there would be no negative effects, just treat it as a regular Spiritual Stone."
"What’s important is its symbolic significance, what could be more fitting for me and Xinghai?"
"Also, because of its negative effects, I’m planning to use it for the engagement ring rather than the wedding ring."
As for Chen Ming.
He even thinks that even if he really wanted to trigger the special effect of the love Spiritual Stone, it might not be too smooth.
If he doesn’t tone it down a bit, Cheng Xinghai might faint from the amplified Spiritual Power he emits.
Even if he really wanted to use it, he should start training Cheng Xinghai with a whisper Spiritual Stone first.
Plus, there’s another issue.
Chen Ming himself is a physical embodiment of mental rage, therefore he can freely use various items with different Psychic properties without suffering negative effects.
But Cheng Xinghai can’t.
Once she uses the love Spiritual Stone, it means she would need to wear love for a long time, making it more troublesome to use other Spiritual Stones for training effects later on.
Moreover, Chen Ming also doesn’t think love is a good choice for Xinghai.
He had many interactions with Xinghai, he knows roughly what Xinghai’s Spiritual Energy Fluctuation is like, so he knows Xinghai’s Psychic properties don’t align well with love.
Love Spiritual Stone is only suitable for the engagement party of Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghai, it’s not suitable for Xinghai herself.
So, Chen Ming truly only used the love Spiritual Stone as an engagement ring.
He wouldn’t actually use the special effects of the love Spiritual Stone.
At least not for now.
Chen Ming felt Bai Quan seemed to want to say more, but hesitated, eventually swallowing his words.
However, Chen Ming could roughly guess Bai Quan’s thoughts, it must be about the Legion Commander.
After all, this love Spiritual Stone was given to him by the Legion Commander.
It wasn’t to say the Legion Commander intended to use this thing to restrict Chen Ming or utilize Cheng Xinghai to kill him.
