Long Shiyan woke up with a feeling of pure joy; it was as if her exhaustion had completely vanished. This might have been because of her first experience. In the process, she could relax and plunge into that wonderful world, allowing her to temporarily forget all the troubles in the world while washing her exhaustion away.
Moreover, her recovery speed reached incomprehensible levels.
On the contrary, Zi Linglong was on the brink of death as she was still deeply asleep!
Last night, she did it with Zi Linglong for the first time. So she allowed herself to be on the bottom since she was too lazy to take the initiative. Zi Linglong had to do all of the work while Long Shiyan was the one who sat back and enjoyed it the entire time.
Long Shiyan did not bother Zi Linglong’s slumber and went to the kitchen, intending to make up for her actions by cooking some food for Zi Linglong. But when she witnessed the kitchen, she found herself at a loss.
Unwittingly, she became a wastrel in cooking who didn’t know how to do anything except for barbecuing. She couldn’t help but shake her head and say, “I didn’t expect I was this dependent on that girl. Without her, then I would have lived the rest of my days as a beggar!”
Although these words were full of self-deprecation, the real meaning was left unsaid. Of course, what she was saying was not false. There were plenty of powerful people who were too lazy to take care of themselves as they wholeheartedly strived to get stronger.
Since she was a girl, she should have been more concerned about developing life skills, but now, Zi Linglong completely abolished the need to do so. Gently shaking her head, Long Shiyan quickly retired from the kitchen but still went to the school’s cafeteria to find food!
As soon as Long Shiyan walked away, Zi Linglong woke up. She blinked confusedly and recalled what happened last night. Her entire body heated up. Her elder sister actually let her do that kind of thing! Her wife was awful…
However, something rare occurred. She did not expect her elder sister to grow bigger during the process.
Of course, she also knew that this was not the time to be thinking about this kind of thing. She hurriedly put on her clothes and followed after Long Shiyan’s scent.
Today, the color of the sky was not good. The sky was covered with black clouds, lightning and thunder raged, and the ground was also in disorder. It was extremely difficult for people to walk through this kind of weather. Long Shiyan encountered this situation the moment when she stepped out. The strange atmosphere made her frown as she glanced up at the suspicious thunderclouds.
A typhoon?
Impossible!
The Holy Spirit Magic School was located in the center of the continent, which was far from the sea where typhoons would normally occur. Moreover, she had lived here for so many years yet had never seen such intense winds and thunderclouds.
In this situation, there might be a problem with the enchantment.
“Sis—Yan Yan!”
Long Shiyan turned around when she was called out by Zi Linglong. She quickly ran over and pulled her away from that place. At the same time, several lightning bolts struck their original positions.
“Why did you go out?!” Zi Linglong was alarmed.
“Don’t worry about it, let’s go.” Long Shiyan hugged her, flew at low altitudes, and then arrived at the backyard in a blink of an eye. Then, she continued to fly away from the area.
In a short amount of time, she flew out of Doomsday City, crossed a lot of countries, and arrived at the center of the Magical Beast Forest. Nonetheless, the thunderclouds in the sky were still chasing after them.
“Yan Yan, this won’t do. That thing won’t stop pursuing us, so running away is just a waste of time and energy,” Zi Linglong said with a serious expression.
Long Shiyan stopped moving, observing the slowly darkening Zi Linglong. She released Zi Linglong’s hand, put her guard up, and icily stared at the thunderclouds in the air. Needless to say, she also understood the thoughts of the other party.
As they witnessed the thunderclouds surging, countless purple lightning bolts tumbled down, completely laying waste to the lands below. After a while, numerous heavenly lightning bolts came down one after another towards them.
Not waiting for Long Shiyan to move, Zi Linglong directly countered the lightning bolts with her own body.
Long Shiyan didn’t have time to organize her thoughts as she rushed to the thunderclouds, intending to destroy them. But she discovered that these lightning bolts had no way of affecting Zi Linglong.
This was awfully stunning to Long Shiyan.
When did Zi Linglong become so powerful? Even if her berserk state gave her strength of a Saint, how could she deal with such powerful thunderclouds? Furthermore, Zi Linglong treated them like nothing as she destroyed them. She also said, “Yan Yan, this lightning is not that strong; we don’t need to be afraid of it.”
“No!” Long Shiyan judged their current situation and felt that it was totally different from how Zi Linglong saw it. Zi Linglong’s strength seemed to have become more and more powerful. She definitely had more than just the strength of a Saint. It took some time to fly from the Holy Spirit Magic School to the Magical Beast Forest, but she remained so carefree.
“Boom!” The thunderclouds violently rumbled and once again sent dozens of lightning bolts, yet they still had no effect. Instead, they were absorbed by Zi Linglong, turning into energy.
Seeing this, Long Shiyan was dumbstruck.
Perhaps because it was felt that there was no way to take them down, the thunderclouds suddenly dispersed, and then a huge fist came down. The fist descended quickly; it seemed to have a similar ability as Long Shiyan’s “Glorious Heart,” which made opponents incapable of escaping. They couldn’t even consider evading the fist. Clenching their jaws, they awaited for the impact.
This time, Long Shiyan stood in front and tried blocking it.
But the impact never came. A small hand had pulled Long Shiyan away and the enormous fist collided onto a colorful shield. Long Shiyan fell into Zi Linglong’s arms.
“What?” From the skies, a great male voice boomed. “Boundary, are you resisting me?”
The two stabilized themselves and looked towards the person who saved their lives. They merely saw that the person was around seven or eight-years-old, but that person was indeed familiar to them.
“Qian Qian!” The two let out sounds of concern and bewilderment.
“I—I won’t let you hurt them even if I die!” System Qian Qian gritted her teeth as her face warped. Obviously, blocking this big fist was not easy.
“You are seeking death!” The voice became severe, apparently furious.
“Ah!” The system’s enchantment hindered the attack, but it was shrinking at extremely fast speeds. She shouted at the same time, then turned to look at them. “You two, quickly run to the gods. Go to the Tower of Babel and seek the great gods.”
“Boom!”
When System Qian Qian dropped down, the strength of the fist decreased by a lot. She looked around in bewilderment and discovered that Long Shiyan and Zi Linglong were protecting her. While their combined powers were incredibly strong, it was still not enough.
“What are you doing? Why didn’t you leave?!” System Qian Qian wiped away her tears and started withstanding the attack together with them.
“What a joke!” Long Shiyan resisted against the giant fist with both of her hands and glanced at her coldly. “If we leave, then won’t you be acting as a hero?”
“You are right.” Zi Linglong opened her mouth again. “I don’t want you to be a hero. We will always be together. From when we were young to the present, we will live and die together. If you want to be a hero, then we will follow.”
“Qian Qian, I didn’t know what you were doing and I even once suspected you, but now, I understand. You have always been silently thinking of me from behind. You are my, Long Shiyan’s, partner. How could I leave you, my partner, alone in the face of danger? Not to mention making me go back to Earth to stay away from this disaster.” Long Shiyan cast aside her worries and revealed her true feelings.
She was currently using all of her strength to resist the giant fist while restoring her strength using the power of faith.
“In the end, you are simply a bunch of powerless insects! I really don’t know how you could still resist in the face of certain defeat. Nevertheless, since I have already raised my hand against you, I will trample you all into meat patties.” The voice chortled, seeing these humans as ants being crushed by a stone. It was pleasurable watching these bugs try to struggle with all of their might.
“But if we go on like this, we will all die. However, I have an idea. If—if Linglong can absorb the energy of the Red Yin Demon Star, then…” System Qian Qian had a complicated expression across her face. She did not know why she was risking her life for them. Did she really think of them as her relatives or close friends?
Zi Linglong said with difficulty, “I—I don’t know. I can only establish contact with it occasionally.”
Long Shiyan was also trying to find a way out, but she recalled something.
The owner of the giant finally felt impatient as he said in a bored tone, “Well, I guess it’s time to end this game. After all, it’s not good to cause unnecessary trouble.”
“Boom!”
The giant fist smashed onto the ground, eradicating nearly half of the Magical Beast Forest.
“Huh?” The voice seemed to be puzzled. Soon, the giant fist slowly rose, and the destroyed Magical Beast Forest was restored back to its original state. Even those squashed magical beasts were revived.
It was a miracle.
Long Shiyan originally thought that she was going to die, but she didn’t expect to arrive at this strange place. After a narrow escape from death, she sat down in an underground area, leaning against the statue beside her.
Zi Linglong and System Qian Qian were also here. Furthermore, Zi Linglong had returned to her original state as she was resting on Long Shiyan’s lap.
System Qian Qian stood up and surveyed the situation.
This was a dilapidated church with hardly anything in it. There were only several angel-like statues, of which the statue in the main position was the largest. When System Qian Qian finished looking around, she realized where this was.
The system explained to her, “This should be the Radiant God’s world, so there should be no problems for the time being.”
“Why is it so worn down?”
“How should I put it? All humans have their own preferences, and gods are no different,” the system replied.
“Is that so?” Long Shiyan tidied up Zi Linglong’s long hair and lifted her head. Then, she asked, “Hey, Qian Qian, could you tell me the truth now? Who is the owner of the big hand? What’s the situation with Long Aotian? Why is there a new Long Aotian? What’s the connection between Zi Linglong and Red Yin Demon Star? What about me? And you?”
“Stop, stop, stop!” The system hurriedly prevented her from asking more. “I haven’t seen you for just two days, yet you have become so much more talkative. Let’s take things step-by-step, okay? Even though I said that, how you act now feels much better than before.”
“Then, how about you explain things from start to finish?!” Long Shiyan was so eager to learn the truth that she asked many questions in succession. Additionally, she wanted to inform the system about her true feelings.
