The air in the laboratory seemed to have been sucked out all at once, and the surrounding gravel and steel bars floated up eerily.

The oxygen tank in Ji Chaoxi's hand gradually slipped out of her palm.

Ji Chaoxi immediately sat up: Hmm?

A purplish-black arc of electricity exploded from beneath Pei Yufeng's skin. His mental energy was out of control, and these lightning bolts, having no target, frantically backfired on Pei Yufeng.

Veins bulged on Pei Yufeng's forehead, his eyes were bloodshot as he knelt on the ground and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood...

After an unknown amount of time, countless pale green threads slowly clung to Pei Yufeng's skin, carving a path through the dense electric sparks. The originally sharp electric sound gradually became dull and docile.

Pei Yufeng nestled in Ji Chaoxi's neck. Ji Chaoxi lowered her eyes, one hand around his shoulder, the other touching his crystal core, her supernatural power smoothing out every crack on it.

With each step his superpower advanced, Pei Yufeng's body trembled. His hot breath kept hitting her neck, and Ji Chaoxi awkwardly moved to the side, but the next second he followed, letting out a whimper that sounded like he was seeking comfort.

"Pei Yufeng?" Ji Chaoxi asked tentatively.

She remembered that Pei Yufeng had never allowed her to enter his sea of ​​consciousness before, but now no matter how she touched his crystal core, he did not react at all.

If he wakes up and finds out she touched his crystal core, he'll be furious.

As the healing power soothed him, the pain in Pei Yufeng's body gradually subsided, and the out-of-control superpowers in his body gradually thinned out, finally obediently shrinking back into the crystal core.

Pei Yufeng gradually regained consciousness from the chaos. He slowly opened his eyes, his vision still a little blurry. He felt himself in a thin but familiar embrace.

The faint, pale green energy hadn't dissipated yet, as if draped over her in a light veil. A few strands of hair, damp with cold sweat, clung to her skin, making her eyes appear even brighter.

Pei Yufeng stared blankly at her, his Adam's apple bobbing dryly. He instinctively wanted to tidy the stray hairs on her forehead, but seeing the dried bloodstains on his hands, he withdrew them.

"Pei Yufeng, your superpower has gone out of control." Ji Chaoxi gently grasped his hand, her brows furrowed tightly.

Did you just touch something?

Logically speaking, a superhuman of Pei Yufeng's caliber shouldn't have lost control this badly.

Pei Yufeng awkwardly avoided her gaze. He stood up from the ground without saying a word.

Ji Chaoxi walked to the laboratory door and saw the superhumans lying all over the ground. Her eyes lit up immediately.

"So many crystal cores!"

Pei Yufeng watched her quietly from behind.

She looked somewhat out of place, squatting among the piles of charred and bloodied corpses in her little white dress stained with dust.

Those hands, usually used to heal others, were now deftly slicing open the heads of those superhumans, peeling the crystal cores from the pile of blurred flesh and blood.

"Pei Yufeng, look!"

Ji Chaoxi held up the crystal core and showed it off to Pei Yufeng. Her face was pale and even stained with some blood, but her eyes were full of smiles.

Pei Yufeng froze on the spot, a tingling sensation spreading from the depths of his bones, and his breathing became erratic.

The truck traveled through the desert at night, its dashboard gleaming with a faint blue light. Under the headlights, one could see the fine sand being swirled up by the headlights ahead.

Ji Chaoxi leaned against the window to enjoy the breeze, glancing guiltily at Pei Yufeng beside her every now and then.

He hasn't spoken a word since he regained consciousness.

Ji Chaoxi lowered her eyes in frustration; he must have found out.

"Pei Yufeng, don't be angry. I didn't mean to."

"I touched your crystal core a few times with my supernatural tentacles, but I didn't pierce it."

Pei Yufeng gripped the steering wheel silently, feeling his chaotic heartbeat growing louder and louder.

Seeing that Pei Yufeng still didn't speak, Ji Chaoxi glanced at him again.

"Okay, I admit it, I did prick you, but really only once! You can check it yourself."

Hearing Ji Chaoxi's tentative tone, Pei Yufeng turned his head, and in that instant, his eyes met hers.

The light from the watch face shone on her face, making her eyes appear even brighter, and he could clearly see himself reflected in her eyes.

Anxious, disheveled, and filled with desire.

Pei Yufeng's mind went blank for a moment, and the steering wheel in his hands suddenly slipped sharply. The truck made a sharp sound on the road, and the front of the truck veered and was about to rush into the sand dune next to it.

"Be careful!"

Just as the truck was about to overturn, Pei Yufeng slammed on the brakes, and a burning smell filled the air as the truck came to a screeching halt.

The car fell into dead silence instantly.

The quicksand outside the window gradually receded, and a tiny gray-brown building came into view in the distance.

Ji Chaoxi drove quietly, not daring to speak to Pei Yufeng anymore.

She was afraid that if she continued talking, Pei Yufeng would really get so angry he'd die.

When Ji Chaoxi and his group entered the building, two superhumans were sitting in the living room.

Ji Chaoxi knew them: one was Shen Jiaxue, a water-type ability user, and the other was Zhang Jili, an earth-type ability user.

When they saw that only Ji Chaoxi and Pei Yufeng had returned, the two superhumans were both taken aback.

"Um... what about the others?" Zhang Jili asked hesitantly.

Ji Chaoxi hesitated and said, "It seems like he's dead."

"oh oh."

Zhang Jili and Shen Jiaxue exchanged a glance, the two of them standing in the living room staring at each other.

Shen Jiaxue coughed lightly and looked at Ji Chaoxi: "So, will he and I be following you from now on?"

"Should we consider these as Ping Ge's and the others' belongings?"

Ji Chaoxi was also stunned. Was there really such a saying?

She liked this water-type ability user because she gave her lots of water to bathe with every day, but this earth-type ability user…

Zhang Jili quickly said, "It works very well for me. Everyone said it was the most convenient one to use."

Pei Yufeng, standing next to him, kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Ji Chaoxi cleared her throat: "Let's talk about it later."

Zhang Jili's eyes dimmed instantly.

That evening, after Ji Chaoxi finished showering, she had just picked up the dress next to her when Pei Yufeng silently snatched it away.

Ji Chaoxi: ...

Pei Yufeng lowered his head and skillfully rubbed the stains on his skirt.

Pei Yufeng.

The bathroom was very cramped. As soon as Ji Chaoxi squeezed in, Pei Yufeng felt his nose instantly filled with her scent.

Her slender ankles were particularly noticeable on the ground. Pei Yufeng's grip on the skirt tightened, and his breathing became extremely heavy.

"Maybe we shouldn't wash it. Didn't you say before that I looked like a fluttering moth in this?"

Just as Ji Chaoxi was about to leave, Pei Yufeng's extremely hoarse voice suddenly came from behind her.

"It doesn't look like a fluttering moth."

"You look really good in this..."

Ji Chaoxi froze on the spot.
