Jiang Qingwan instinctively wanted to shake off whatever she was clinging to.
She was lost in thought, her eyes unfocused, and she couldn't see Ye Qi at all.
The wind that swept by the external object brought a cool, woody scent that entered her nose.
It was very familiar, so he restrained the spiritual power that he had already circulated halfway.
"It's dangerous." Jiang Qingwan turned her head to look at Ye Qi's large, well-defined hand, which gripped her shoulder.
Jiang Qingwan's terrifying pressure dissipated as soon as he interrupted her.
Ye Qi sighed and smiled wryly, "If I hadn't grabbed you just now, you would have either died or been crippled after falling."
"Huh?" Jiang Qingwan was dumbfounded, then followed his words, trying to find clues.
Only after discovering that his own colorless spiritual energy was emanating from the air did he belatedly realize it.
Just now, due to hatred, I accidentally released a large amount of spiritual energy pressure.
The pressure from the strong is naturally difficult for the weak to resist.
Sometimes, even a single glance can control a person's words and actions, making them kneel on the ground, lower their head, and be unable to look them in the eye.
Moreover, Ye Qi also had to maintain his standing position in the air.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Jiang Qingwan didn't hold Ye Qi's behavior of continuing to lean on her shoulder with one hand after the crisis had passed.
It is a tacit consent.
Ye Qi saw that Jiang Qingwan glanced at his hand but didn't say anything, so he leaned on her with even more confidence.
Ye Qi's expression became even more vulnerable. She lowered her eyelashes and let out a soft sigh, "Sigh. You've drained my powers. I can't fly anymore."
Before Jiang Qingwan could reply, he boldly made a request, "Qingwan, can you take me flying?"
How could Jiang Qingwan refuse Ye Qi's request?
She felt that Ye Qi was about to shatter. If she rejected him again, he would really break, and she would have to piece him back together piece by piece.
"Fly, fly, fly," Jiang Qingwan said without hesitation, repeating the word "fly" three times in a powerful and clear voice.
Unfortunately, there was no hint of romance at all.
Ye Qi felt frustrated and thought, "Fine, I'll just have to give that flirtatious look to a blind man again."
"Hold on tight." Jiang Qingwan reminded Ye Qi, and true to her word, she flew away in a flash.
The scenery around me refreshed so quickly that I couldn't even see a single color block; it felt like a dense mass of chaotic particles.
Jiang Qingwan led Ye Qi to a high-rise building.
The wind on the rooftop was filled with the smell of blood and decay. After being carried away at high speed, Ye Qi couldn't help but gag when he first smelled this odor.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Qingwan wasn't a cold person; she was very concerned about her teammate's health.
Ye Qi's face was deathly pale. This time he was genuinely weak, not pretending. He spoke weakly and listlessly.
"Did I offend you somehow, Qingwan? I'm a spatial ability user, and you've made me look like this."
Seeing Ye Qi's reaction, Jiang Qingwan knew she was in the wrong.
But she wouldn't admit it; that would be too embarrassing. She argued, "No, how could you insult my character? I'm such a good captain; I'll take you flying if I say I will."
"Yes." Ye Qi forced a smile, closed his eyes, and resignedly said, "Luckily, I'm tough."
"?" Jiang Qingwan couldn't believe her ears. What was she hearing?
Although I knew Ye Qi was expressing that he was very patient and could endure a lot of training, I still felt that something was off.
Ignoring the strange feeling in her heart, Jiang Qingwan continued, "I think you still need to practice more."
"Mm." Ye Qi would diligently cultivate without Jiang Qingwan needing to remind him.
After waiting a moment, Jiang Qingwan asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better. It was just a little uncomfortable at first, but I'm fine now." Ye Qi is, after all, an ability user with spacetime powers, so his recovery ability is very strong.
"Let's go then. Back to base. The people at base should have already spotted us. This building isn't far from the base," Jiang Qingwan guessed, gazing in the direction of the base.
Ye Qi followed Jiang Qingwan's gaze.
The supernatural light emanated from the building in a variety of colors, creating a dazzling effect reminiscent of a neon street scene, even during the day.
Looking closer, one can vaguely see many densely packed human heads on the city wall.
However, their faces were not clearly visible.
"Keep up with me," Jiang Qingwan said to Ye Qi, then looked him up and down, her tone suddenly becoming uncertain, "Can you keep up?"
"Okay." Ye Qi met Jiang Qingwan's gaze, his eyes full of composure and self-confidence.
"Then I'm relieved. I was worried that if I brought you directly, you would get dizzy again at the base and be caught off guard and attacked."
"The base has many informants whose affiliation is unknown, as well as a group of people with malicious intentions. We must be very careful."
Jiang Qingwan was somewhat irritated.
These people are very well hidden, and she can't just condemn them all indiscriminately and harm innocent people.
You have to spend time playing mind games with them.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on my surroundings. My powers have almost fully recovered; they'll have to think twice before they try to ambush me." Ye Qi thanked Jiang Qingwan for her reminder.
"Let's go." Jiang Qingwan gave Ye Qi a wink, and then started speeding towards the base.
While on her journey, Jiang Qingwan took the time to observe Ye Qi's movements and discovered that he was always closely following behind her.
Jiang Qingwan unconsciously revealed a smile.
--
Base watchtower.
"An unidentified object is approaching rapidly. Please be on alert," the watchtower staff reported over the walkie-talkie.
The commander gave the order: "Please check on the person with the visual aberration."
The person with the visual mutation observed from the watchtower for a while, and had just stepped down and eaten half a bite of steamed bun when he received another order.
