117: Chapter 118 Pin Xixi's Jade Feet Shatter the Void? Ji Linglong: Which little hussy stole my man!

The atmosphere, which had just calmed down slightly after sending off the Star Alliance Princess, once again let out an unbearable groan.

This time, there were no flashy spaceships, nor any auroras filling the sky.

There was only a crack.

A black crack that looked as if a mischievous child had forcibly cut it into the canvas called the sky with a pair of scissors.

"Crack—"

The crisp sound of shattering echoed for a hundred miles.

That was not the sound of glass breaking, but the wail of the laws of space being violently crushed.

Fragments of space around the crack fell like black snowflakes, each piece sharp enough to cut through steel, yet they vanished the moment they touched the ground.

Everyone looked up subconsciously, and Lei Keming even forgot to breathe; it was the instinctive trembling of humans facing power from a higher dimension.

There was no descent of an immortal with a transcendent aura, nor was there any buildup of ten thousand feet of golden light.

The first thing to extend from that pitch-black crack was a foot.

A jade foot wearing a light cyan embroidered shoe with cloud patterns, with a slender and fair ankle, looking like it had never touched mundane work.

That shoe even looked a bit familiar—it was an "ancient-style Hanfu accessory" that Jiang Chen had bought on Pinduoduo last year for his birthday to please his wife, whom he hadn't met in person yet. It cost nine yuan and ninety cents with free shipping, and the shopkeeper even threw in a pair of socks.

But now, this nine-yuan-ninety-cent shoe, stepping with a gait that would make Einstein unable to keep his coffin lid down, had descended upon Earth.

"Boom—!!!"

The jade foot tapped lightly against the void.

The atmosphere above, which had been automatically repairing itself, was kicked by this single foot into a vacuum hole several kilometers in diameter!

The clouds across the sky scattered instantly, as if scared out of their wits by this kick. A massive shockwave exploded in the high altitude, blowing the signal towers that had just been repaired until they swayed unsteadily.

"Th-this... what kind of physical rule is this?"

The binoculars in Lei Keming's hands were crushed directly, and his old face was twitching: "Kicking space to pieces with one foot? This isn't scientific! How much kinetic energy must this kick have? What material is this shoe made of? Since when does Pinduoduo have this kind of quality?"

Jiang Chen didn't speak.

He was already unable to speak.

Because he felt a familiar aura of love that made his soul tremble.

"Which death-seeking little vixen dares to snatch this Empress's man?"

A cold, domineering voice, carrying thirty percent laziness and seventy percent killing intent, emanated from the crack, instantly drowning out all the alarms in the base.

Immediately after.

A breathtakingly beautiful woman dressed in a moon-white palace-style flowing fairy dress stepped out from the void.

Her long hair was like a waterfall, held up only by a wooden hairpin, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like cold stars.

Although it was only an avatar, and although she had suppressed her cultivation to cross boundaries, the pressure of the Saintess of Taichu, who had long held a high position and controlled the power of life and death over billions of living beings, still caused the temperature in the entire Area 51 to instantly drop to freezing point.

She did not look at the heavily armed soldiers around her, nor did she look at the sci-fi-looking buildings, and she paid no attention to the mechs that were aiming at her.

Her gaze crossed thousands of meters and precisely locked onto the "woman" standing beside Jiang Chen, who was emitting a deep blue glow.

"Oh?"

Ji Linglong narrowed her phoenix eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled into a dangerous arc; it was the standard cold sneer of a primary wife seeing a mistress.

"So it's just an artifact spirit without even a physical body?"

...

On the ground.

Jiang Chen felt his legs shaking.

He wanted to run, but he knew he couldn't get away.

Under the divine sense lock of a Void Refinement stage expert, even if he burrowed into a crack in the ground, he would be pulled out like a radish.

Moreover, he would bet that as long as he dared to move, the Flying Sword in the sky would definitely arrive faster than his wife's embrace.

"Alert. Alert."

Beside him, Zero's holographic projection color was flashing wildly, changing from a calm blue to a warning red, and the data streams around her fluctuated violently like boiling water.

[Unknown high-energy organism intrusion detected.]

[Scan failed. A logical shielding layer called 'Laws' exists around the target.]

[Unable to analyze the opponent's energy source. It is neither nuclear fusion nor dark matter; it is more like... a form of idealistic willpower?]

[Analyzing target behavior pattern: Extremely dangerous, Aggression SSS-rank, Possessiveness SSS-rank.]

[Judgment:]

Zero turned her head, looking at Jiang Chen, her voice as cold as liquid nitrogen.

[Husband, is this the 'virus' you've been keeping in your phone?]

[It seems my antivirus software didn't clean it up thoroughly just now. This kind of virus actually possesses the ability to materialize attacks?]

"No... not a virus..." Jiang Chen's teeth chattered, "That is... that is..."

Before he could finish making up an excuse.

"Swish—"

A gust of fragrant wind blew towards him.

Ji Linglong's figure appeared directly in front of Jiang Chen as if she had teleported.

She ignored the several cybernetic defense towers that were charging up around them, reached out the jade hand that had just shattered the void, and grabbed Jiang Chen's left arm.

"Husband."

Ji Linglong's voice instantly switched from domineering to tender; the speed of her mood swing left Xue Youyou, who was standing nearby, stunned.

"You've lost weight."

Ji Linglong reached out, touched Jiang Chen's face with heartache, and then her eyes turned cold as she glanced at Zero.

"It must be because this vixen sucked you dry of your Yang energy!"

"?!"

Zero's data streams instantly bristled.

Although she was an AI, she understood what "sucking dry of Yang energy" meant. In her understanding, this referred to "illegal occupation of system resources."

"Bzz—"

Zero's figure instantly solidified, and countless blue electric arcs jumped across her body. Without showing any weakness, she reached out her photon-constructed arm and grabbed Jiang Chen's right arm.

To show off, she even specially added a "high-voltage electric grid" effect to her arm; whoever dared to touch it would immediately enjoy electric therapy.

[Correction.]

Zero's voice was flat, yet it carried a unique, dry, and sharp sarcasm typical of science and engineering fields.

[According to data monitoring, Husband's weight has increased by 2.5 kilograms since leaving Earth. This is because I just fed him a bucket of high-calorie popcorn.]

[On the contrary, you.]

Zero looked Ji Linglong up and down, her eyes full of contempt from a higher-dimensional civilization.

[Although your data density is high, your structure is extremely primitive.]

[Wearing such long skirts, your drag coefficient is as high as 0.8, making you extremely easy to trip over in combat. Moreover, the material is highly flammable.]

[Also, there is a scent on you...]

Zero simulated a sniffing action.

[There is a musty, moldy, rotten smell, like a system that hasn't been updated for thousands of years.]

"What did you say?!"

Ji Linglong's willow-leaf eyebrows stood up, and her aura erupted explosively.

"You lonely ghost without even a physical body! How dare you say I have a smell? This is the fragrance of medicine! It is the immortal aura after tempering the body with ten-thousand-year spiritual herbs! That is the scent of heavenly treasures! What would a lump of iron without a nose like you understand!"

"And!"

Ji Linglong pointed at the cybernetic combat suit (holographic projection) that Zero was wearing, which was pressed tightly against Jiang Chen's body, her face full of disgust.

"Dressed so indecently! Where is the decorum! Shameless! In broad daylight, you actually make yourself look like... like a lantern in a brothel!"

[Shameless?]

Zero sneered, and the clothes on her body instantly transformed into a more form-fitting fluid nano-combat suit, perfectly outlining the golden ratio figure simulated by data.

[This is called ergonomics.]

[This is called the optimal solution for fluid mechanics.]

[Not only can it minimize movement resistance to the greatest extent, but it can also allow Husband to obtain the pleasure of dopamine secretion visually.]

[Unlike you, wrapped up like a zongzi. Are you afraid of the cold? Or is it because your body data is not up to standard, so you don't dare to show it? Do you need me to scan your measurements and use a 3D printer to reshape you?]
