A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

The icy sensation on the back of Ye Shuli's neck suddenly disappeared.

She pressed Jiang Ye into the deepest part of the code rift, her fingertips smearing the dark gold liquid seeping from his neck onto the rock wall.

The milk tea-flavored spiritual energy seeped into the cracks in the code, condensing into a translucent amber-colored film.

"You're quite good at dodging." A sneer came from outside the gelatinous substance from a female cultivator of the Void Organization, and three silver-white data chains suddenly pierced through the amber membrane.

Ye Shuli grabbed the QR code that Jiang Ye had only half-drawn and threw it at him; the blood droplets formed a makeshift firewall in mid-air.

Taking advantage of the moment the data link was blocked, she dragged Jiang Ye and leaped into the shadow of the Möbius strip sealing array.

The dark gold patterns had already climbed up to Jiang Ye's chin. Suddenly, the pearl milk tea pendant on his waist disintegrated automatically, and sixteen black pearls were precisely embedded into the gaps in the sealing array.

“With…boobs…” Jiang Ye forced out a breathy sound, his finger tracing the shape of a milk tea cup in the pool of blood.

Ye Shuli ripped off the boba pendant and smashed it into the array's core. The sweet smell of bubble tea exploded, teleporting them to an abandoned data tower thirty meters away.

Amidst the deafening roar of the pursuers breaking through the sealing array, Ye Shuli stuffed the unconscious Jiang Ye into the rusty server rack at the top of the tower.

Half-melted milk tea jelly dripped through her fingers, forming a constantly deforming privacy coating on the surface of the server rack.

"Protecting a piece of trash like this?" The phantom of a female cultivator from the Void Organization appeared outside the data tower, followed by seven explorers wearing nebula cloaks.

She twirled the lightsaber formed from the milk tea straw between her fingers. "Jiang Ye's dark gold code will only last ten minutes at most. Why not trade it for the star map pattern on your collarbone—"

Ye Shuli immediately cut off the external communication channel.

She took off her earring and rubbed it against the server until sparks flew; modern chemistry made the copper-nickel alloy emit a bright light in the code space, like burning magnesium.

The protective shield that the pursuers instinctively erected just happened to expose the female cultivator's true form to their attack path.

"The principle of holographic projection." Ye Shuli kicked over the steaming server, and the scorching metal casing projected twelve phantom images of Jiang Ye into the data stream.

The moment the explorers pounced on the illusion, she flung out a data cable infused with the spiritual power of milk tea, forcibly connecting their weapon systems to the female cultivator's lightsaber.

The explosion caused by the energy collision tilted the data tower at a 45-degree angle.

Ye Shuli leaped into the air from the falling metal plate and pulled out the still-valid QR code from the broken privacy coating.

The pattern, soaked in Jiang Ye's blood, swept through the smoke of battle and rewrote the spiritual energy circuits of the three explorers into a self-destruct program.

"It's just pheromone interference." She dodged the female cultivator's beam sword and slapped the last half cup of solidified milk tea jelly onto the opponent's weapon.

In the real world, casein molecules triggered a chain reaction in the code space, and the female cultivator's entire right arm was instantly covered with milky white crystals.

Upon seeing this, the remaining explorers simultaneously activated overclocking mode, and Ye Shuli suddenly ripped open her collar to reveal her collarbone.

After absorbing an excessive amount of dark gold code, the star map pattern projected a holographic image of the Milky Way onto its chest.

Pulsar positioning, derived from modern astronomical knowledge, marks the attack trajectories of all individuals in real time as red dotted lines.

“There are seven weak points in the three o’clock direction.” She murmured the Scripture of Astrophysics she had memorized, and charged into the enemy lines amidst the torrent of data.

The explorers whose gravity parameters had been tampered with collided one after another, and the female cultivator's arm, which had just been repaired, was accidentally slashed by her companion, leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone.

As the last explorer was trapped in the self-imposed confinement array, Ye Shuli leaned on her knees, panting heavily.

The star map pattern turned a dangerous crimson due to overload, but she still remembered using the spiritual power of milk tea to fake Jiang Ye's unique spiritual power fluctuations—twenty false signal sources simultaneously shooting towards different coordinates.

The female cultivator wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up, suddenly revealing a strange smile in a certain direction.

She crushed the milk tea cup-shaped communicator, her eyes churning with emotions deeper than emptiness: "No wonder Jiang Ye chose you... but you think this is the end?"

The data tower wreckage suddenly began to collapse in a quantum manner.

As Ye Shuli rushed toward the cabinet where Jiang Ye was, she heard a sound of liquid flowing behind her that defied the laws of physics—the female cultivator who should have been defeated was refining her seriously injured companion into a new energy source.

Ye Shuli took a half step back to avoid the light blade that slashed from the side.

The fragments of the milk tea cup communicator held between the female cultivator's fingers were seeping blood-red code—this woman had forcibly bound her spiritual energy circuits to the organization's channel, using the smoke from the explosion to blend into the battlefield.

"The people from the Void Organization really do love to play dirty tricks." Ye Shuli kicked up half of the data cable and wrapped it around the other person's ankle. The milk tea-scented spiritual energy that popped out of her wristwatch dyed the data cable amber.

The moment the female cultivator swung her sword to sever the restraints, the liquid suddenly solidified into sugar-like particles, sizzling as they clung to the folds of her nebula cloak.

A distant humming sound could be heard indicating the activation of a forbidden technique.

In the center of the crimson magic circle formed by the seven explorers, spiderweb-like patterns cracked in the void.

Suddenly, the star pattern on the back of Ye Shuli's neck became hot, and the excruciating pain from when she transmigrated three years ago, when the family elders extracted half of her spiritual roots, swept over her body without warning.

"Is this when she's having an attack?" She bit her tongue to force herself to stay awake, and drew a benzene ring structure diagram on the server wreckage with the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Modern organic chemistry knowledge twisted into a black vortex in the code space, shredding the lightsaber thrown by the female cultivator into metallic powder.

As the dark red tentacles formed by the forbidden technique wrapped around her calves, the large pearl that Jiang Ye had stuffed into her pocket before she lost consciousness suddenly became hot.

The black pearls, soaked in the blood of the two of them, automatically arranged themselves into a DNA helix structure, transforming the corrosive energy carried by their tentacles into a sweet caramel aroma.

"They actually used a double-chain structure to decompose toxins..." Ye Shuli was stunned for half a second, then suddenly remembered that rainy night in the seventh month after she transmigrated.

At that time, she had just had her spiritual bones removed. It was Jiang Ye who knelt in front of the medicine hut for three days and three nights with a broken milk tea cup in his hands before the Medicine King Valley elders promised to use pearl milk tea as a medicinal ingredient.

Dark gold code crawled along her fingertips onto the star map patterns.

Ye Shuli grabbed the two forbidden tentacles with her backhand, and the principle of osmotic pressure that she had memorized in biology class exploded in her mind.

She reversed the destructive energy secretly injected by the female cultivator and forced it back into the tentacle's main body, causing the three explorers who were casting spells to suddenly exhale caramel-colored foam from their mouths and noses.

Upon seeing this, the remaining four people simultaneously cut their palms.

The spatial collapse caused by the blood sacrifice allowed the data tower's remains to begin quantum-reorganization, and Ye Shuli leaped into the air, stepping on the flying metal fragments.

A memory of the thermite reaction from a physics experiment flashed through her mind, and she tore off her earring and struck it against the gap in the server, creating a dazzling spark.

The female cultivator's cold smile froze on her face.

When the copper-nickel alloy, imbued with the spiritual power of milk tea, burns, it triggers a chain reaction in the code space.

Using the bright light as cover, Ye Shuli swooped down and landed, her sneakers, soaked with Jiang Ye's blood, precisely striking the spiritual energy anchor point hidden on the ground by the female cultivator.

"How did you find...?" The female cultivator's question, filled with shock and anger, was drowned out by the sound of the explosion.

The twenty hidden traps she had painstakingly set up spontaneously combusted one after another. Ye Shuli wiped away her nosebleed and chuckled, "Anyone who has studied junior high school geography knows that the trajectory of magma flow follows a pattern."

The forbidden magic array collapsed in the series of explosions.

Ye Shuli tore open the blood-soaked cuff, and the star pattern on her collarbone, after absorbing excessive energy, projected a three-dimensional model of the Milky Way's spiral arm.

She mobilized her spiritual power according to the milk tea recipe proportions taught by Jiang Ye, and incorporated the supernova explosion principle into the simplest fireball spell.

The space distorted into a funhouse mirror shape under the high temperature.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the protective shield erected by the female cultivator. Ye Shuli suddenly spun around and smashed the last half cup of milk tea jelly into the crack.

When casein in the real world encounters imaginary energy in the code space, it instantly turns the inside of the protective shield into a solidified yogurt cage.

"It's over." Ye Shuli wiped away the blood smearing her eyelashes and walked towards the core of the magic array, stepping on the residual energy waves of the forbidden technique.

The surviving explorer tried to form a hand seal, but she locked his spiritual energy circuit with a DNA model strung together with a milk tea straw—the double helix structure became the most intricate spiritual energy shackles at this moment.

As the source of the void power manifested at the bottom of the data tower, Jiang Ye coughed and pushed open the deformed cabinet door.

The dark gold markings on his neck had faded, and he still clutched a half-melted container of toppings in his hand: "Want some Oreo crumbs?"

"I'll keep it as a tombstone decoration for you." Ye Shuli flicked away the blood scabs that had formed on the ends of her hair, and the star map model floating in her palm was resonating with the power of the void.

The moment their hands clasped, the milk tea's spiritual power and the dark gold code intertwined to form a DNA double-strand structure, taming the raging void power into a trickle.

As they stepped out of the collapsing data space, Jiang Ye suddenly clutched his chest.

The lingering void power within his bubble tea pendant flashed with an eerie purple light, and the star map pattern behind Ye Shuli's neck inexplicably exuded a chill—a gaze that transcended the rules of the code space quietly descended.
