Chapter 1475: Suddenly Didn't Want to Return It
Everyone was stunned as they looked at Jiangnan.
Not bad, huh? All the literary talent left in his brain was used up right here, right?
They originally thought Jiangnan would name it Silver Forest City, Big Branch City!
Or something like Nan Shen Chao Bang City!
"Silver Moon City? Not bad, let's go with that!"
Even Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness you didn't use naming inspirations like Deadly Bicycle or Death Cross-Country on this!
If it got out later, people would probably laugh to death!
(。・᷄~・᷅) "By the way, didn't you say you caught a Hongguo prisoner? What's the deal? It must be Liuhua, right?"
Yang Jian shook his head: "There's no info on her in the database. Starlight Rank 3 level. She should be Hongguo's trump card hidden up their sleeve. I thought you might know her!"
"See if you can get something out of her!"
Jiangnan was taken aback: (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅`) "Not Liuhua? How was she caught?"
Yang Jian's mouth twitched.
(-ι_-) "Not really caught... more like... found?"
"When the logistics team was building the city, they found her lying on the ground sleeping. No idea if she's even woken up yet!"
Jiangnan: (≖_≖)...
"Ran into the vine forest to sleep? Are you sure she's a spy or agent or something?"
Under Yang Jian's lead, the group arrived at the holding room.
There, Xing Yechui was casually thrown onto a chair, sitting there sleeping soundly.
Crystal clear drool flowed from the corner of her mouth, stretching into a thread, pooling all over her helmet.
(⚝ˇ﹃ˇ⚝)~ZZZ~
Jiangnan frowned. Who was this? He'd never seen her before.
Starlight Rank 3?
Not a low level, but you've been captured, and you're sleeping so openly like this? Really?
Jiangnan stepped forward, looked at the helmet covered in drool with disgust, and reached out to take it off.
Then he knocked on her head, making a "tap tap tap" sound.
Clearly not a good head.
(⑉ಡںಡ) "Hey hey hey! Wake up. Do you know you're a prisoner?"
"Did you come with Qian Benying and get left behind? What's your name?"
If so, he might as well return her to Qian Benying.
After all, Orange Sakura even came to his funeral and stupidly went to avenge him.
She was a good friend. If he returned her teammate, maybe she wouldn't be mad at him anymore?
That way, one fewer person would beat him up.
Xing Yechui's forehead was tapped, and she finally woke up.
Her big eyes slowly opened, and everyone's attention focused on her.
Ye Ying even subconsciously gripped her knife.
But a minute later, Xing Yechui's eyes were only half open.
(⚝ꆤ﹃ꆤ⚝)~
Jiangnan: (≖_≖)...
"Is this awake or not? Half-asleep and half-awake is what you are, right?"
The whole room was waiting for you to open your eyes! This was really frustrating, okay?
Finally, Xing Yechui's eyes opened fully. The first thing she saw was Jiangnan.
Her eyes widened, and her brows slowly furrowed.
(Ő▿Ő⚝)
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (๑◔~◔ิ) "Speak! What's your name?"
Xing Yechui's mouth slowly opened, as if she wanted to say something.
(งᵒ̴̶̷⌂ᵒ̴̶̷)ง
Jiangnan propped his hands on the table. Go ahead, say it!
Three minutes later...
Jiangnan was so anxious he was shaking his leg on the spot.
(annoyed face) "Brother Jian! Did you pick up a dummy? I tapped her head earlier and it sounded pretty dumb!"
"Maybe Qian Benying and her group thought she was useless, a nuisance, and just dumped her?"
Yang Jian's face darkened: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "Starlight Rank 3, how could she be a nuisance? By the way, is that head-tapping IQ test method of yours reliable?"
Jiangnan was frantic!
(。`口´)ゞ "Say it! Just say it!"
At that moment, Xing Yechui finally spoke!
(งᵒ̴̶̷口ᵒ̴̶̷)ง "Ah!!!"
(⚝ᵒ̴̶̷̥́口ᵒ̴̶̷) "My~hel~met~is~go~ne~..."
Jiangnan: ???
What the heck, your helmet is gone? I took it off almost ten minutes ago and you just noticed?
And why are you drawing out every syllable? That doesn't sound cute at all!
Xing Yechui looked shocked, then slowly raised her little hands to cover her mouth.
(⚝ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ᯅᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) "Oh~no~I~can't~brea~the~?"
(⚝⁰̷̴▵⁰̷̴) "I~can~brea~the... gasp~"
Jiangnan was going crazy. He reached out with both hands to pinch her cheeks!
(ꐦ°᷄皿°᷅) "What's your name? Just say it! Why is it so hard for you to answer a question? You just—"
Just as Jiangnan's hand was about to grab Xing Yechui's cheek, it was as if some reflex was triggered.
Xing Yechui's whole body glowed with a light green light, and she released her Slow Field!
It covered a radius of three thousand meters!
Jiangnan's movements slowed to a crawl; his hand moved through the air with difficulty.
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ "...Say~it? Wha~t the~heck~"
"What~kind~of~trick~is~this?"
Jiangnan was shocked beyond words. His movements were so sluggish?
This was even slower than a snail, okay?
Was she a Time System user? No! Being caught in time stop didn't feel like this!
Xing Yechui seemed to sense Jiangnan was about to pinch her cheek and turned her head to dodge.
But Jiangnan's eyes widened!
(っ͡’皿͡’;)っ "Think~you~can~es~cape~me? Space~"
Two pairs of Space Wormholes suddenly opened. Jiangnan's big hand slowly but steadily reached out.
He grabbed Xing Yechui's cheeks firmly.
And started squeezing them up and down!
(っ͡’益͡’;)っ(O)⁰̷̴͈﹏⁰̷̴͈(O)
"Shut~it~down~!"
Xing Yechui's cheeks were squished out of shape, making "wu re~wu re~" sounds.
But she still wouldn't retract the Slow Field.
At this moment, Xia Yao and Yang Jian were also shocked beyond belief.
What kind of bizarre ability was this?
Physical slowness?
But the three-thousand-meter range was huge, affecting far more than just this room.
Next door, in a building:
Wang Dalei was currently holding a thermos cup with red dates, green tea, and little ginseng inside.
He'd also forced a tomato in there.
(◕ˇㅂˇ) "Hey~this big goji berry sure is something!"
Talking to himself, he walked to the automatic hot water dispenser.
He placed the cup under the spout, and boiling hot water flowed out.
Wang Dalei looked emotional.
₍---₎O(︶ㅂ︶〃) "What a crazy era. Can drink hot water on the moon, even make tea? Ah~yes~what?"
What the hell? Why isn't my tongue working?
He glanced down at the dispenser. The hot water in the thermos was about to overflow.
Wang Dalei wanted to pull his hand away, but no matter how hard he tried, his movements were slower than a snail!
But the sensor detected the cup hadn't been removed and kept dispensing hot water.
Right next to it, a sign read: "99℃ Hot Water, Careful Not to Burn."
₍♨₎O(•̆益•̆‧̣̥̇)
Wang Dalei's eyes bulged as he strained with all his might, but his movements didn't speed up one bit. His face turned bright red.
He watched helplessly as the hot water filled the cup, overflowed, and ran down the cup wall onto his hand.
Boiling water on pork trotters?
Wang Dalei's facial features twisted together, tears welling up in his eyes.
₍♨₎O(థ益థ‧̣̥̇)
I'm a Dao Heaven! I'm not afraid of burns, but damn it still hurts! Ten fingers connect to the heart, you know!
What the hell is going on?
Stop flowing, it's full! Overflowing!
Meanwhile, in the bathroom:
Ye Zhenguo stood with feet shoulder-width apart, facing the toilet, ready to pee.
He'd been standing there for five minutes, finally getting the urge.
But just then, the Slow Field expanded!
Ye Zhenguo's forehead beaded with sweat. His eyes bulged, and he rolled them back.
(꒪ͦ益꒪ͦ◟)!!!
He was at the critical moment, about to release but not quite there, and he was directly stuck at that stage!
The feeling was way too intense!
Ye Zhenguo almost cried out loud. He'd gotten to this step and was still blocked?
He'd always had some frequent urination and waiting issues, but he'd never been stuck at this step before!
Sure enough, getting old is useless!
Maybe he should ask Li Bing for treatment? But would she even treat this?
Back in the interrogation room:
Jiangnan was still pinching Xing Yechui's cheeks.
But the Slow Field still wasn't deactivated, and it was even causing a commotion outside.
Just then, Ye Ying's beautiful eyes widened!
Gifted Spiritual Art • Extreme Speed Force!
Her body flashed with spiritual light, and she instantly moved!
She actually moved at normal speed within the Slow Field!
"Turbo Duck!"
In that instant, Ye Ying not only moved but even ran!
She did a side slide and rushed to Xing Yechui's side.
Jiangnan looked at Ye Ying in horror. How could she move?
Even he was as slow as a snail! How could Ye Ying...
Ye Ying pulled out a Spirit-Binding Dagger (with a wooden handle) and held it to Xing Yechui's throat.
Instantly, Xing Yechui's spirit was bound, and the Slow Field disappeared!
Everyone returned to normal.
Only Xing Yechui's movements were still slow.
Jiangnan quickly let go, not daring to pinch her cheeks anymore.
[From Xing Yechui: Resentment Value +555!]
Jiangnan: ???
I already stopped pinching your face ages ago, and you're only sending resentment now?
It's 5G now, but Xing Yechui is still on 2G network?
Frame drop phenomenon that serious?
Network latency is a bit big, huh?
(๑ὅ口ὅ) "Ye Ying? How could you be so fast?"
Only then did Jiangnan notice that Ye Ying had secretly advanced to Starlight Rank at some point.
When she was assigned to protect him, she was Diamond Rank, right?
Ye Ying curled her lip: (͡°~͡°)✧ "Don't forget, my ability is Extreme Speed. I can even catch up to your teleportation!"
"This girl's domain is troublesome, sure, but it's not enough to slow me down to a snail's pace."
Jiangnan's eyes lit up!
How could he forget that? Ye Ying's speed rivaled the Flash!
Eating at light speed, eight bowls per meal! Because of the intense energy consumption, she even maintained a flat figure!
Effectively reducing wind resistance!
She was even the woman who once measured the entire Hua Xia land with her own feet!
Looking at Xing Yechui and Ye Ying, a mature idea sprouted in Jiangnan's brain.
Suddenly, he didn't want to return this little prisoner to Qian Benying.
Let me borrow her for a while first!
A devilish smile curled on Jiangnan's lips.
(΄◞ิʖ̫◟ิ‵) "I hate to admit it, but I might be invincible now."
Ye Ying saw Jiangnan's gaze and shivered all over. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
