Chapter 79

Tu Mi smiled slyly. "You should have told me earlier about this thing." The aberrant element stone is a priceless energy stone with no market. She really hit the jackpot this time, kissing the aberrant element stone soundly and quickly clutching it to her chest, afraid Lin Zhi Jing might suddenly change his mind and want it back: "Alright, you can go—I won't sue you."

She shook the aberrant element stone in her hand: "I'll take this as compensation and a gift—even if you regret it later, I won't give it back to you."

Lin Zhi Jing stared coldly, his tone laced with warning: "You better be." If this female dares to go back on her word, he will personally teach her what integrity means.

Having said that, he turned and walked toward the elevator.

Tu Mi also happily embraced the male beside her, tugged at the black bow tie on his neck, playfully plucked his prominent Adam's apple: "Come on, let's go back and continue."

When Lin Zhi Jing returned to Ye Xi'an's room, Ye Xi'an was already being tightly embraced from left and right by Bao Jing and Yi Yang, while Ji Jiangci stood to the side with a gentle expression, watching the three hug—the atmosphere was very warm.

His long grey eyelashes drooped sadly; Lin Zhi Jing felt isolated from them in another world, unable to blend in, but it didn't matter—Lin Zhi Jing lowered his grey eyes, shielding the hostility in his gaze; if he couldn't blend in, he'd squeeze in, and if he couldn't squeeze in, he'd pull Ye Xi'an out—there would always be a way.

"Wuu-wuu-wuu, wife, where did you go?" Yi Yang rubbed against Ye Xi'an's chest, his strong arms wrapped around her slender waist, refusing to let go no matter what.

Bao Jing also felt a lingering fear: "Yeah, An An, I personally saw you go into the bathroom—how did you suddenly disappear?"

Ye Xi'an laughed embarrassedly; they could never have imagined that during the time she disappeared, she had almost been strangled to death by an incredibly handsome male, but fortunately she also got her revenge—that kick, she had aimed precisely, guaranteeing he'd remember it for a long time.

However, Ye Xi'an didn't intend to tell them, since saying it would only cause more worry: "Don't worry, this is actually my new ability! I just can't control it well yet—I slipped in the bathroom, almost fell, and my body instinctively used the ability, which is why I suddenly vanished."

Bao Jing and the others showed puzzled expressions: "On Zhu Shen Xing, females aren't only supposed to have spatial and mental abilities? What is this new ability?"

"What new ability?"

Ye Xi'an was about to speak when Lin Zhi Jing interrupted, pushing everyone inside; after the door slammed shut, he finally released his grip, his expression grim: "What's going on? Is this something you can just blurt out at the door?"

"It's my fault for not thinking it through," Bao Jing said, lowering his head and owning up to the mistake.

"Ah, it's no big deal," Ye Xi'an truly thought it was trivial; she comforted Bao Jing for a moment, then began explaining the new ability to him.

She looked at Bao Jing, her eyes sparkling like a galaxy of tiny stars: "Bao Jing, do you still remember when you almost died trying to save me?"

Bao Jing nodded: "I remember, but I don't recall how I got out."

"This is my new ability! I can teleport people!"

"Teleport!" Yi Yang exclaimed, having never heard of teleportation before: "Does it mean moving as fast as a speed-type beastman?"

Ye Xi'an felt it was somewhat like that, yet not quite; she grabbed Yi Yang's hand: "Let me teleport you for a moment."

"Wait a moment," Bao Jing said, taking Ye Xi'an's other hand: "Take me along too."

"Okay."

Ye Xi'an closed her eyes to gather herself; the next second, the three vanished simultaneously—before Ji Jiangci could react, they were back where they started.

Yi Yang stared at Ye Xi'an in disbelief; Bao Jing was equally shocked.

Ye Xi'an's new ability and his high-speed movement are completely different; he stared wide-eyed, his heart pounding in his chest like it might burst—this ability clearly resembles a portal! The only beings he's seen with such power are the insect race.

If females on Zhu Shen Xing had this ability, every family would be invincible.

"How does it feel?" Ye Xi'an asked, somewhat excitedly, seeking their impressions.

But the two were so overwhelmed they could barely speak for a moment; Ye Xi'an's ability like this destined her family to be anything but ordinary.

Lin Zhi Jing looked at Bao Jing and Yi Yang's lackluster demeanor, couldn't help but feel the urge to roll his eyes: "Really?"

"Ye Xi'an, this actually isn't your new ability," Lin Zhi Jing said, having noticed something off about her since the first time he met her.

His training base, not to mention remote, the environment along the way is even worse; moreover, a defense system has been set up around the base.

Not to mention a female carrying a severely injured male, even a healthy male with seventh-level abilities could not possibly appear unharmed suddenly in the military camp.

Later he gave Ye Xi'an a drug trial; the first Energy Enhancer was clearly effective on Ye Xi'an, but the second injection was like water into the sea, leaving no trace; he reasonably suspected that Ye Xi'an could quickly produce antibodies against foreign substances entering her body.

Combined with Ye Xi'an's later behavior, Lin Zhi Jing roughly guessed; he continued explaining to Ye Xi'an: "Teleportation is actually still your spatial ability."

He habitually reached to push his glasses on his nose, but when he felt the high bridge of his nose, he realized his glasses had just broken.

"Lin Zhi Jing, where are your glasses?" Ye Xi'an also only then noticed that Lin Zhi Jing wasn't wearing glasses at the moment: "Without glasses, can you still see clearly?"

"Why wouldn't I see clearly? Glasses aren't for seeing clearly."

Ye Xi'an blinked; if glasses aren't for seeing things, what else are they for? Could it be just for looks? She didn't expect the aloof Lin Zhi Jing to also like using glasses to decorate himself.

Ye Xi'an's clueless look made Yi Yang unable to watch; he grabbed Ye Xi'an to stop her from continuing to embarrass herself: "No, honey!"

He leaned close to Ye Xi'an's ear: "The beastmen on Zhu Shen Xing aren't nearsighted; they wear glasses because the glasses have instruments that help the wearer analyze data and such."

Although Yi Yang had never worn them, he had seen glasses advertisements on the First Ring display screen and remembered one piece of information: this thing is really expensive.

Ye Xi'an gave a wry smile; another case of culture shock.

Lin Zhi Jing waited for Ye Xi'an and Yi Yang to finish communicating, then continued explaining Ye Xi'an's ability.

"In academia, space is a multidimensional concept; it can be the place where an object exists, just as females store things in space, but it can also be the place where we exist."

Lin Zhi Jing looked at Ye Xi'an, using metal-type ability to condense a sheet of metal paper in his palm, with two light points glowing left and right on the metal paper: "Do you see these two light points as being in the same space?"

Ye Xi'an naturally shook her head; it's obviously not together.
