Chapter 1669: Chapter 1669: High-level Soul Device

Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan... under the tense and expectant eyes of everyone, the Jade Pendant soul device that He Bi cast out quietly floated in the starry sky, motionless.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Time passed little by little, and the Jade Pendant was still motionless.

He Bi remained calm and patient.

Others were also patient, except for Yue Qiguang, who was a bit restless. As everyone stared at the Jade Pendant without moving, Yue Qiguang couldn’t hold back and said, "Senior, maybe your soul device is too lousy, so no shrimp likes to eat it?"

He Bi choked upon hearing that.

"Cough cough..."

"Cough cough..." He Bi coughed twice forcefully, then calmly reeled the Jade Pendant back, saying, "The low-level soul device doesn’t cut it, let’s switch to a mid-level one."

"You have a mid-level one?" Ji You was suddenly shocked and stared: "Senior, I always thought you were a pauper, but it turns out you’re rich."

He Bi glanced at her and turned to the others, asking, "Who here has a mid-level soul device?"

"Huh?" Ji You blinked: "You don’t have one?"

He Bi took a deep breath and tapped her forehead, saying, "Something that expensive, where would a pauper like me get it?"

"Cough cough..." Ji You laughed awkwardly and said, "Senior, luckily you’re also a pauper, so I’m not alone, spreading my poor stink among a bunch of rich folks on this spaceship would be too uncomfortable."

He Bi took a deep breath, feeling calm again, then looked at the others, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan... all reaching their hands out as if to take out their soul devices, He Bi raised his hand to stop them, saying, "Before taking it out, think it through, because this mid-level soul device is for experimentation, it might succeed, fail, or get ruined, or, like my low-level soul device, just cause no splash at all."

At this moment—

Shen Changqing took the initiative and said, "Senior, I have one, made by Master Kong Zhe."

He Bi asked, "Are you sure you want to take it out?"

Shen Changqing replied, "I’m sure."

"Alright." He Bi nodded, then smiled and said, "If we successfully catch a dragon shrimp and unlock the opportunity to enter another plane while your soul device gets ruined, I will definitely submit a report to apply for reimbursement from the school before entering."

Next.

He Bi quickly wrote a reimbursement application form, saying, "Entering a plane for exploration is a task assigned by the school, and they will cover the costs, so you don’t have to worry about the possible loss."

Shen Changqing shook his head, saying, "Senior, I’m not worried, nor do I need the school’s reimbursement."

He Bi interrupted him, saying, "That’s not necessary to mention." He paused for a moment, suddenly raising his voice, "Ji You."

Ji You responded loudly, "Here."

He Bi handed the report to her, saying, "I’ll leave this to you. After entering another plane, the team will be entirely under your charge, and you’ll also submit this report."

Plane opening is a momentary thing, He Bi needed to explain it clearly in advance.

Ji You hesitated slightly—

Was the senior planning to enter that unknown plane alone?

That plane where survival was highly risky and dangerous?

The hesitation was brief; Ji You then nodded and said, "Okay."

He Bi said, "I’m starting."

Shen Changqing handed over the soul device, a translucent, radiant orb, usually hung around his neck. He often wore a perfectly fitted school uniform, with a tie firmly in place, concealing the presence of this mid-level soul device.

Everyone watched Senior He Bi’s actions.

He Bi also tied the orb to a string, one end around his wrist, the other thrown into the starry sky.

If a dragon shrimp really takes the bait, it would certainly bite the orb, and when the string is pulled, it would drag He Bi down.

In this way, He Bi could follow and enter that unknown plane.

The idea was like this—

Then, unexpectedly hit reality hard.

The mid-level soul device made by Master Kong Zhe faced the same fate as the low-level soul device He Bi used.

Motionless, not even a ripple.

As time passed, looking at the quietly suspended orb, even the patient Shen Changqing took the initiative and said, "Senior, let’s give up, perhaps the mid-level soul device doesn’t meet the threshold either."

Then—

Only high-level soul devices would do.

He Bi was very distressed, saying, "But who here has a high-level soul device?"

Such rare things, do you really think they’re as common as dirt, seen everywhere?

"I don’t have one."

"Me neither."

"I’ve seen one, never used one."

Everyone looked at each other, seeing helplessness in each other’s eyes. Just as they were about to shake their heads and abandon this plan—

In the corner, Liu Fufeng, who had remained silent like an invisible transparent person, suddenly raised his hand and said, "I..."

Everyone turned their heads instantly, staring at him!

Facing everyone’s sudden intense gaze, Liu Fufeng felt a bit uneasy and said, "If it’s a high-level soul device, I have one."

After speaking.

Liu Fufeng took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from the Space Button in front of everyone, opened the box, revealing a sparkling light.

This is—

A ring?

He Bi, with sharp eyes, immediately saw the engraving on the ring, which was the names of the Galaxy Empire’s Emperor and the late Empress.

—Liu Dang

—Xia Man

"Is this the Empire’s Emperor and Xia Man Empress’s token of love ring? Engagement ring? This is your parents’ heirloom." He Bi smacked his lips and said, "Are you sure you want to take it out?"

The thin Liu Fufeng had a look of indifference on his face, saying, "It is only a keepsake if it is remembered, if forgotten, it is just an ordinary ring."

He Bi was slightly stunned by his words.

Others were slightly stunned too.

Liu Fufeng decisively handed over the ring, not letting He Bi refuse, pushed it into his hand, and walked away, sitting back down and leaning against the corner.

He Bi remained silent for a moment, then no longer hesitated, following the previous method, tied the ring and threw it into the starry sky outside.

The ring traveled in a perfect arc over Ji You’s head, leaving the spaceship’s Protective Shield, and fell into the starry sky.

Ji You’s eyes widened!

Surely, it was a high-level soul device, and one with a usage time of over 50 years, crafted by the century’s most powerful human soul artifact maker, Master Deng Mingguang, painstakingly built over a decade — a high-level soul device.

Moreover, this remains a memorabilia of Xia Man Empress and the Empire’s Emperor.

Its value is beyond estimation.

Ji You heard the sound of her own heartbeat.

Next.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, waiting for the appearance of the dragon shrimp—
