176: Chapter 177 Even a late-stage chuunibyou can't help it! A domineering counterattack turns the Sun Goddess into a shy little girl.

Boom!

As the system prompt faded.

Jiang Chen felt the motor that had been vibrating inside him stop.

Replacing it was a crazily spinning golden vortex.

That pink energy, which had been rampaging inside his body and turning him into a "vibrator," was instantly swallowed by this vortex and transformed into a more domineering, purer golden divine power.

His skin began to glow.

Not the kind of reflection, but a golden light full of divinity emanating from within.

"Hmm?"

Xihe, who was striking a pose at the front of the chariot, finally sensed that something was wrong.

She turned her head, her eyebrows raised beneath her sunglasses.

"Where did this rat come from?"

She spotted Gu Liuli, who had suddenly appeared, and Jiang Chen, who was glowing with golden light, at a glance.

"Yo, isn't this that green-tea-flavored little octopus?"

Xihe sneered, and the fiery whip in her hand cracked in the air with a "snap." "You dare to stow away on my chariot? Want to be a snack for my Golden Crows?"

"Oh my, Sister Xihe is so fierce."

Gu Liuli hid behind Jiang Chen. Although she called her 'sister' with her mouth, her eyes were full of provocation. "I just saw that my husband was too tired, so I came to bring him some water to drink. Since sister doesn't welcome me, then husband... it's up to you now."

After saying that, she turned into a phantom and dove into Jiang Chen's shadow (AFK physically).

"Up to him?"

Xihe looked as if she had heard a joke.

She looked Jiang Chen up and down. Although she felt that the kid's brightness was a bit blinding now, her confidence as the Sun Goddess meant she didn't take it to heart at all.

"Little thing, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you changed your skin."

Xihe took off her sunglasses, and raging flames ignited in her golden vertical pupils. "Just because you absorbed a bit of fire while scrubbing, do you think you're capable now?"

"Capable, huh."

Xihe extended a finger, and a terrifying white fireball, the kind that only appears in the center of nuclear fusion, condensed at her fingertip.

"Since you want to absorb it, then this lady will let you absorb enough!"

"For this lady — explode!"

Boom!

That white fireball, carrying earth-shattering power, was pressed directly toward Jiang Chen's chest.

This strike was enough to burn Mount Everest to the ground.

She really didn't hold back. In her eyes, Jiang Chen was just a durable toy; even if he broke, she could just find Change to fix him.

However.

The expected screams and burnt smell did not appear.

The moment that terrifying True Sun Fire touched Jiang Chen's chest.

It was like water flowing into a sponge.

That fire... was absorbed.

Not only was it absorbed, but the clothes on Jiang Chen's chest (transformed by the system) didn't even wrinkle.

On the contrary, the golden light on his body became even more dazzling, even faintly overshadowing the sun in the sky.

[Ding! Absorbed True Sun Fire (Concentrated Version)! Fire Resistance +99999! Strength +99999! Charm +99999!]

[Host's current energy bar has exceeded the limit! Entering "Sun God (Pseudo)" state!]

"Is that it?"

Jiang Chen raised his head.

At this moment, his eyes had also turned golden, even purer than Xihe's. It was the look of someone who was overfed and had nowhere to vent their energy.

He reached out his hand; the movement seemed slow, but it was actually extremely fast.

"Snap."

He steadily grabbed Xihe's wrist, which was still pressed against his chest.

"You..."

Xihe was stunned.

She tried to pull her hand back, but found that Jiang Chen's hand was like a hydraulic clamp, immovable.

Moreover, a huge suction force came from the skin where the two were in contact.

The Sun God power inside her was actually flowing into this man's body continuously!

"You... what are you doing?!"

Xihe panicked. This feeling was too bizarre, like she had turned into a power bank and was being forcibly discharged!

"What am I doing?"

A wicked smile curled at the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth.

He had been tormented by this crazy woman all morning, racing and acting, and almost got roasted.

Even a clay figurine has three parts of temper, let alone a cheater who just awakened the "Supreme Version of Soft Rice" system?

"Didn't you just ask me to shout 'Goddess is mighty'?"

Jiang Chen stood up and approached Xihe step by step.

His aura grew stronger with every step, and in the end, he actually suppressed this Sun Goddess instead.

Xihe retreated subconsciously until her back was against the scorching golden railing.

"You... you want to rebel?"

Xihe roared fiercely but with a weak heart, "Believe it or not, I'll scream 'molestation'!"

"Go ahead and scream."

Jiang Chen rested one hand on the railing, giving this hundreds-of-millions-of-years-old auntie a standard "chariot-wall-slam."

He leaned in close to Xihe, their noses almost touching.

Jiang Chen could even see the flustered look in Xihe's eyes beneath her sunglasses, and the fine beads of sweat that appeared due to nervousness.

"Weren't you quite arrogant just now?"

"Didn't you say I was your poop scooper?"

"Now..."

Jiang Chen reached out his other hand and extremely boldly took off the sunglasses Xihe had been wearing, throwing them down into the clouds.

"Rephrase what you said."

"Call me husband."

Boom!

At this moment, Xihe's brain crashed.

Not just because her power was suppressed.

But also because...

Is this still the same pretty boy who only knew how to shiver?

This kind of oncoming aura, mixed with True Sun Fire and male hormones...

Is actually damn... a bit charming?

Xihe's face turned red from her neck to her ear roots.

This was the first time in hundreds of millions of years that a man had dared to talk to her like this. And he was pressing her against her own chariot!

"You... you..."

Xihe stammered, that chuunibyou arrogance completely gone, instead revealing the expression of a little girl cornered by a school bully.

"You are presumptuous! this lady... this lady is..."

"Is what?"

Jiang Chen lowered his head, his eyes extremely aggressive.

"A late-stage chuunibyou patient who only knows how to play with fire?"

Just as the two were deadlocked and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly intense (ambiguous).

Below, in the Earth's livestream room.

Billions of viewers watched this scene, and the comments section completely exploded.

"Holy crap! The script has flipped!"

"Director Jiang is awesome! Is this the rhythm of taking down the Sun Goddess too?!"

"How is this eating soft rice? This is slamming the rice bowl onto the Goddess's head!"

"This is too domineering! I announce that Director Jiang is my life idol from now on! I also want to go to the Sun Chariot and wall-slam the Goddess!"

Meanwhile, Gu Liuli, who was watching the show while hiding in the shadow, silently sent a message to Change:

[Sister, no need to worry about husband anymore.]

[He seems... to be having quite a lot of fun right now.]

[If we don't go to save the situation, our family might really have one more sister who manages the sun~]
