Chapter 241 - 222: Good Place
As expected, a tidal wave of excruciating pain crashed over her.
Jiang Si’s face twisted in a grimace as she thrashed wildly in Qin Shen’s arms. Her complexion was a terrifying, mottled mix of red and blue, as though she were about to go berserk.
Brother Qiu and Lao Er, who had just been envying Jiang Si for getting two more Superpower Stones, shuddered. They couldn’t imagine what would happen if someone failed to endure such agony.
Would she end up like Zhang Aihua, who had come so close to death before?
"CRASH—"
Acid rain hammered down like hailstones, and the safe zone on the yacht was rapidly shrinking.
If Jiang Si couldn’t regain control and restore the Barrier Space, their entire vessel would be lost.
Zhang Aihua was already making his own secret preparations. He was looking for some kind of container to put his wife and child in, hoping they might be able to escape from under the sea.
The odds were slim, but he had to try.
After all, he still had the ability to control thorns. He could wrap them in layers of his vines, and perhaps, once the rain stopped, they would successfully escape.
That was why he was conserving his energy instead of using his vines to envelop the entire yacht.
’He couldn’t hold out for long. In a crisis, only his wife and child mattered most.’
"Ahhh—!"
Jiang Si suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream. A terrifying wave of energy erupted from her body, sending Qin Shen flying into the wall of the yacht.
Before anyone could even scramble to their feet, they saw Jiang Si hovering in the middle of the room, her eyes glowing an eerie, ice blue.
Her face was devoid of expression, as if she had completely lost control.
She raised her hands, ready to attack anyone who stood in her way.
Jiang Linhai sensed the immense danger and desperately called out her name. "Sisi! Sisi! Sisi, it’s me, Dad!"
Jiang Si paid him no mind. Her expression was cold, as if everyone in her eyes was nothing more than an ant to be crushed.
Pushing himself to his feet, Qin Shen suddenly wrapped his arms around her and held on for dear life.
Fearing Qin Shen would be injured just like last time, Jiang Linhai yelled, "Qin Shen! Get back here!"
But Qin Shen’s resolve to hold her didn’t waver. No matter how much power she blasted out, he simply gritted his teeth and refused to let go.
By bearing the brunt of Jiang Si’s power, he was also momentarily shielding the others.
This was only possible because of the energy Jiang Si had transferred to him earlier. If Qin Shen hadn’t woken up, then even if the acid rain hadn’t wiped them out, Jiang Si would have.
Jiang Si seemed to decide Qin Shen was an obstacle. Her gaze grew more sinister as she prepared to get serious and personally obliterate him.
Just then, Qin Shen crushed his lips against hers.
Jiang Si froze. The ice-blue of her pupils began to shift as Qin Shen’s familiar energy spread through her body, enveloping the faintly glowing energy stone inside her.
In that instant, her sanity returned.
Without so much as lifting a hand, the pounding acid rain was instantly shut out by the Space Barrier.
Qin Shen slowly released her, then immediately collapsed backward.
Jiang Si’s power was simply overwhelming.
After taking several direct hits from her power, he was already a spent force.
Jiang Si cried out his name in alarm and rushed to heal his injuries.
Normally, her energy could completely heal any superpower user.
But in that moment, she couldn’t help the fear that seized her.
Jiang Si was now in a state of awakened power, one she could clearly control.
As Qin Shen absorbed her vast energy, his deathly pale complexion improved significantly.
Jiang Si could feel his condition stabilizing, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
The moment Qin Shen’s eyes fluttered open, Jiang Si threw her arms around him.
He gently patted her back. "I’m okay."
’She had been scared to death.’
’To finally find someone to love, only to kill him with her own hands.’
’The very thought was unbearable.’
’Thank god, he was okay.’
With Jiang Si and Qin Shen out of danger, the others could finally breathe a genuine sigh of relief.
Although the acid rain was temporarily held off by the Barrier Space, there was no guarantee that Jiang Si wouldn’t lose control again.
They needed to find shelter from the acid rain, and fast.
Jiang Si’s heart ached as she looked at the yacht she’d just brought out. It was already a wreck, little more than scrap metal.
’That was her only luxury yacht, and now it was gone.’
But this was no time to wallow.
Then, Jiang Si produced all sorts of transport vehicles from her personal space, leaving everyone utterly dumbfounded.
’No wonder Jiang Si and her group were living so comfortably.’
’It seemed Jiang Si had a truly endless supply of resources.’
