170: Chapter 171 The Nouveau Riche Goddess Xihe! Nine Golden Crows Pulling a Chariot
That was a vehicle.
It was an extremely flashy, extremely ostentatious, golden chariot that was filled with "nouveau riche" aesthetic style.
What pulled the chariot were not horses, but nine strange birds with bodies comparable to aircraft carriers, their entire bodies burning with nuclear fusion flames, and possessing three legs—the Three-Legged Golden Crows!
Each Golden Crow was draped in gold chains, gemstones, and even some kind of high-dimensional energy crystals, clanking and clattering as they flew, as if afraid that others wouldn't know how rich their owner was.
And that chariot was crafted from a single massive piece of Solar Gold Essence, inlaid with countless miniature stars as decorative lights, shining so brightly that one couldn't open their eyes.
"Whoa—!!!" A delicate shout rang out.
The nine Golden Crows braked sharply, their massive wings flapping out scorching solar winds that instantly roasted the hundreds of glowing jellyfish outside the Guanghan Palace, emitting the aroma of seafood barbecue.
The chariot stopped above the Guanghan Palace.
The chariot door (if that massive flame shield could be considered a door) opened.
A long leg wearing a golden battle boot stepped out.
Immediately after, the main character made her entrance.
She was wearing a bikini armor crafted from gold (with zero defensive power, purely for showing off her figure), her skin was that healthy wheat color, and her muscle lines were smooth and full of explosive power.
A head of fire-red long hair danced wildly in the vacuum, like burning flames.
The most absurd thing was that she was actually wearing a pair of huge sunglasses that covered half her face...?
"So hot, it's so hot!" As soon as Xihe landed, she reached out to fan herself. With that one wave, the surrounding space was directly fanned into several black holes.
She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of golden slit pupils.
In those eyes, it seemed as if the eternal, never-extinguishing fire of a star was burning; just a single glance made one feel as if they were about to spontaneously combust.
"Change!" The loud voice of Xihe penetrated directly through the defensive array of the Guanghan Palace.
"You dead shut-in! We haven't seen each other in hundreds of millions of years, how has your taste become so tacky? Decorating the moon in pink? Are you planning to open a brothel?"
"And!" Xihe pointed at Jiang Chen in the crystal room, "The one who kept pumping 'come play' signals into my ears just now, is it this pretty boy?"
Change took a deep breath, and the flowing light battle robe on her body instantly switched to combat mode.
"Xihe, watch your mouth."
Change took a step forward, blocking the front of the crystal room.
"This is my husband. We are having some intimate fun in our own home, what does that have to do with you? Has your sun stopped shining? Are you so bored that you ran over to meddle in my business?"
"Husband?" Xihe was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter loud enough to shatter eardrums.
"Hahahaha! this lady is dying of laughter! Change actually found a man?"
"Let me see, let me see which unlucky guy went blind..."
Xihe walked with an arrogant, unbridled gait, ignoring the vigilance of Ji Linglong and Ling, and walked straight to the crystal room.
She pressed against the glass, her golden slit pupils staring fixedly at Jiang Chen, who was vibrating inside.
Jiang Chen was currently still in "Succubus Mode".
The pink light on his body, combined with that high-frequency vibration, was an irresistible temptation for any female creature.
Even high-dimensional gods were no exception.
Xihe had originally come with mockery.
But when she saw Jiang Chen's face clearly, especially when she felt that "mating pheromone" rushing towards her... Her gaze changed.
From mockery, it turned into... confusion, then... surprise, and finally, it actually turned into a trace of... greed?
"Hmm?" Xihe stuck out her tongue and licked her slightly dry red lips, "This little thing... looks quite unique."
"This vibration frequency... this energy band... why does it feel a bit like... the 'Sun-Swallowing Beast' I used to keep?"
"And..." Xihe took off her gloves and reached out to press against the crystal wall.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—the crystal wall began to melt under the high temperature of her palm.
"This energy can actually resonate with my True Sun Fire?"
Xihe's eyes lit up.
That was the look of having discovered a new toy, or rather, having discovered a "premium power bank."
"Change." Xihe turned her head, pointed at Jiang Chen, and her tone was domineering and unquestionable, "This man, I want him."
"You want a fart!" Change exploded, "This is my husband! Not your Golden Crow feed! Get back to your sun!"
"Oh, don't be so stingy." Xihe waved her hand, "You know that sunspot activity has been frequent lately, and I've been worrying about not finding a suitable 'humanoid filter' to absorb the excess fire energy."
"This little thing has a special constitution; the signal he emitted just now actually contained a trace of components that can neutralize the sun's toxic fire."
"Lend him to me for a few days. I won't use him for free either."
Xihe pulled out a handful of things that looked like melon seeds from her bosom (also a four-dimensional pocket) and casually threw them on the table.
"These are 'Sun Essence Stones'; one can buy a small star system. Consider it rent."
"No!" Before Change could speak, Ji Linglong couldn't hold back anymore.
The taichu divine sword hummed, its tip pointed directly at Xihe: "Demoness! Don't even think about laying a finger on my husband! You want to snatch someone with a few broken stones? Do you think he is cargo?"
"Exactly!" Ling also activated combat mode, "Logic judgment: This transaction constitutes human trafficking and is a serious violation of the Interstellar Covenant. Recommendation: Immediate expulsion!"
"Yo?" Xihe raised an eyebrow, looking at these two "little toothpicks" daring to brandish weapons at her, and was instantly amused.
"Change, is this your concubine? Quite a fiery temper."
"Since you won't lend him..." Xihe's smile suddenly vanished, the golden flames on her body instantly surged, and the temperature of the entire Guanghan Palace broke through five thousand degrees.
"Then this lady will just have to snatch him!"
"It just so happens that my nine Golden Crows have been a bit malnourished lately, using this moon as a snack wouldn't be bad!"
"How dare you!" Change was furious, the power of moonlight erupted, clashing fiercely with the True Sun Fire in the void.
Boom—!!! The collision of two supreme laws, one cold and one hot, directly caused the weather system on Earth to collapse.
One second it was a 45-degree sauna weather, the next second it was suddenly snowing heavily. The next second after that, it was a storm of wind and rain.
The people on Earth watched the weather switching like a slide show outside their windows and were all stunned.
When gods fight, mortals suffer!
And inside the crystal room, Jiang Chen was still vibrating.
But the amplitude of his vibration was even greater now—from being scared.
"Help..." Jiang Chen looked at the violent woman outside who wanted to grab him to be a "filter," and then looked at Change, who was preparing to blow up the moon to protect her food.
He looked at Gu Liuli beside him in grief and indignation.
"Sister Liuli! Didn't you say you were the Star Alliance Princess? Didn't you have a dowry of hundreds of star systems? Hurry! Use money to smash that crazy woman to death!"
Gu Liuli was currently hiding behind the sofa, holding a small mirror to touch up her makeup.
Hearing Jiang Chen's plea for help, she poked her head out, looking innocent: "Husband, um... although I have money."
"But that sister... she is in charge of the sun."
"If I make her angry and she turns off the sun, what will I do? Then wouldn't all my solar power banks be useless?"
"So..." Gu Liuli blew a kiss to Jiang Chen.
"Husband, you have to be strong. If it really doesn't work... just submit to her? I think her figure is quite good, you won't be at a loss~"
Jiang Chen: "..."
Just at this moment, that irritable goddess named Xihe had already smashed the wall of the crystal room with one punch.
She grabbed the collar of the still-vibrating Jiang Chen and lifted him up like a little chick.
"Little thing." Xihe leaned in front of Jiang Chen, her face with the sunglass marks revealing a ferocious smile.
"Come with sister for a trip. Sister will take you to the surface of the sun... to take a sauna!"
Jiang Chen looked at those burning golden slit pupils, and felt the [heart of absolute calm] at his waist that had already begun to melt due to the high temperature.
He knew.
This soft rice, not only did he have to eat it on his knees.
He also had to... eat it while it was scalding hot!
