54: Chapter 54 Immediate Divorce

At the corner of the stairs, Sun Haoyu poked half his head out, his face full of schadenfreude, waiting to see the tragic sight of the two being gnawed to death.

Desperate straits, descending once again!

"You pair of scoundrels, you deserve to have your bones gnawed away by the beasts until nothing is left!"

Sun Haoyu lay at the second-floor stairwell, sneering viciously at the top of his lungs.

His eyes were filled with malicious pleasure as he watched the two surrounded by the rat tide at the corridor entrance, feeling as though his great revenge had been fulfilled.

Dense swarms of young Rodent Beasts had already pounced before them, their sharp fangs gleaming with cold light, looking as if they were about to devour the two completely!

Chen Ye's eyes turned sharp, no longer hesitating in the slightest.

In his heart, he issued a clear and resolute command to the system: Immediately activate Shen Jiaojiao's exclusive Superpower!

[Ding! Host command detected, beginning to activate Goddess Shen Jiaojiao's Elemental Summoning Superpower...]

[Superpower activation successful! Unlocked Lightning Ability!]

"Hum!!"

A pale blue Thunder Light suddenly erupted from Shen Jiaojiao's dantian, instantly sweeping across her entire body!

Her delicate body, which had been trembling with fear, was completely enveloped by a layer of soft yet violent lightning.

Wisps of electric current coiled around every strand of hair; her jet-black long hair transformed into silver threads of electric light, swaying gently with the wind.

She stood barefoot on the cold concrete floor, her fair and slender feet shimmering with a faint electric glow.

Her long legs stood straight, the damaged black floral skirt puffed up by the electric current, outlining her graceful and dashing curves.

Her skin was as white as jade, made even more translucent by the lightning; her beautiful eyes shone with a bright white light, as if a goddess wielding lightning had descended to the world.

Both beautiful and dashing, stunning to the extreme!

The Rodent Beasts crawling on her were instantly pierced by the lightning, and the sizzling sound of burning rang out.

One by one, their charred bodies fell to the ground, no longer showing any signs of life.

Shen Jiaojiao looked down at the lightning coiling around her body, her beautiful eyes wide open, filled with extreme shock and confusion.

This surging, powerful force was actually hidden within her own body?

She turned to look at Chen Ye, a flash of realization crossing her clear eyes.

All of this must have something to do with the man before her!

Before she could think it through, the rat tide in the corridor pounced again!

Shen Jiaojiao knit her brows, subconsciously channeling the Lightning Ability within her, and a pale blue Thunder Light erupted with a roar!

With her as the center, the Rodent Beasts within a ten-meter radius were instantly devoured by the lightning.

The stench of charred flesh filled the air; the dense swarm of small beasts was entirely electrocuted into charcoal, and even the remaining beasts on Chen Ye were cleaned away completely.

Electric arcs sizzled, coiling around the iron doors and railings of the corridor.

The metal sparked from the electricity, the scene incredibly shocking.

Even more astonishingly, Shen Jiaojiao's figure slowly rose into the air, surrounded by lightning, like a Thunder Goddess walking on air!

She gritted her teeth, controlling the lightning to fly out of the corridor, hovering in mid-air.

The evening breeze brushed past, and her long hair, entwined with electric light, flew wildly.

Her damaged skirt hem danced in the wind; her snowy-white skin intertwined with the pale blue lightning, as if a celestial maiden had descended, so beautiful it was beyond compare.

It made the bloodshed and cruelty of the apocalypse seem dull and lackluster.

Chen Ye looked up at the stunning figure in mid-air, his heart filled with wild joy:

"I really didn't pick the wrong person! This beauty, this Superpower, it's simply the ceiling of the apocalypse!"

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes turned cold; she gathered all the lightning power into her palms and struck down towards the rat tide on the ground with a roar!

"Boom!!" A thick pillar of Thunder Light smashed onto the ground.

The Rodent Beasts within a thirty-meter radius were instantly wiped out.

Charred beast corpses covered the ground, sizzling with sparks; there wasn't a single living creature left.

[Ding! Goddess Shen Jiaojiao awakened her Superpower, wiped out the beast tide and saved the host]

[Symbiosis Value +20 → Current 265]

[Host passive attribute updated: Basic Speed +20 → Current 265]

Chen Ye secretly clicked his tongue: "The Goddess can even increase Symbiosis Value by saving me; this symbiotic bond is just too sweet!"

Sun Haoyu stood in the corridor, peeking down at all this, feeling as if struck by lightning; he never expected that this woman would have such a powerful Superpower.

At this moment, his heart was filled only with the desire to escape; his actions just now meant he would surely be killed later!

At this moment, having just mastered the Lightning Ability for the first time, Shen Jiaojiao could not yet perfectly contain her power, and the stray electric currents swept across the two surrounding residential buildings.

Televisions, refrigerators, and light bulbs inside the houses were instantly pierced and exploded, and shouts and commotion from the residents came from within the buildings.

"Jiaojiao, that's enough, the beasts have all been cleared."

Chen Ye's slightly anxious voice rang out, pulling Shen Jiaojiao, who was immersed in the power, back to reality.

She subconsciously deactivated her Superpower, the Thunder Light around her body instantly dissipating, and the white light in her beautiful eyes slowly faded.

But her hovering body lost its support and suddenly plummeted downwards!

"Ah!" Shen Jiaojiao let out a cry of alarm, her little face turning pale with fright.

Chen Ye's eyes tightened, his 265 points of Basic Speed erupted with full force, his figure rushing underneath like a cheetah.

He extended his long arms and steadily caught the falling delicate body into a princess carry.

A soft and warm sensation was instantly transmitted; the girl's faint fragrance mixed with the slight tingling scent of lightning lingered at the tip of his nose, making his heart tremble.

"Are you okay?" Shen Jiaojiao asked, inquiring about Chen Ye's injuries in a low voice.

Nestled in Chen Ye's arms, her little face instantly flushed red.

Her long, slender eyelashes trembled gently; she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look into his eyes, her heart beating as fast as a drum.

Chen Ye answered calmly in a low voice: "Of course I'm fine; I can still handle a small scene like this!"

[Ding! Caught the falling Goddess in a princess carry, intimate interaction triggered!]

[Symbiosis Value +40 → Current 305]

[Host passive attribute updated: Basic Speed +40 → Current 305]

Just then, Sun Haoyu snuck out from the corridor on tiptoe.

He had seen the scene of Shen Jiaojiao awakening her lightning clearly.

This woman, whom he had beaten, scolded, abandoned, and viewed as a burden, had actually awakened the same Lightning Ability as Chen Ye, powerful enough to kill the entire group of beasts in seconds!

He was trembling all over, not daring to have even a shred of mockery anymore.

With his head lowered, he ran wildly towards his own building, cautious and careful, wanting only to escape this place of trouble immediately.

Having run only a few steps, a figure blocked his path like lightning.

It was Shen Jiaojiao.

Sun Haoyu's legs went weak with fear; with a "thump," he knelt directly on the ground, weeping and kowtowing like a pestle pounding garlic:

"Jiaojiao! I was wrong! I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai!"

"I beg you, for the sake of us having been husband and wife, spare my life! I will never dare to do it again!"

His past arrogance and domineering nature were gone, leaving only pleas for mercy that were humble to the bone, without a shred of dignity.

Shen Jiaojiao looked down at him, her pretty, delicate face without a ripple, her voice calm yet resolute: "You abandoned me to the beasts twice and held me hostage with a knife; I could have killed you."

"But back when my mother was critically ill, you paid for her treatment; for this kindness, I will not kill you today, and that will be considered repaid."

"Not only repaid, but I will also ask Mr. Chen to give you some supplies!"

Sun Haoyu was stunned, thinking he had misheard, and kowtowed even harder: "I don't want supplies! I don't want anything! I only beg you not to kill me!"

Shen Jiaojiao said indifferently: "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse; I have one condition: divorce me immediately!"
