Chapter 654: Like an Elf in the Darkness

As a medium between Sta.r.s.eed and the Metal Essence, Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s body was continually transformed by the potent energy. Naturally, the girls benefited too. During the transformation process, they felt drowsy and closed their eyes, falling into a deep slumber and lying there silently.

Finally, after an unknown period of time, the girls started to wake up from their slumber, and they were all pleasantly surprised.

Jiang Zhuying stretched her arms and asked, “How long has it been?” She felt her body filled with energy.

“It has been about five months,” answered Ying.

“Really? Are you sure? There is no day or night,” asked Jiang Zhuying.

Ying didn't give her an answer.

“Okay, okay, I believe you.” Jiang Zhuying was not offended as she was already used to Ying's temperament. She was also aware that Ying had plenty of special abilities.

“Ah? Such a long period?” Li Yuxin touched her hair immediately. If they had been sleeping for five months, wouldn't they be terribly dirty? However, Li Yuxin was in for a shock. Her hair felt very smooth and clean, while her skin had reached perfection. It was the same for the other girls.

“Wow! My special ability—” exclaimed Ran Xiyu. She could clearly feel that her ability had undergone a great transformation and qualitative change.

Ling stood up and just moved. Xiang Xuehai saw her simple action, but the next instant, a surprised expression appeared on her face. She was staring at Ling, who was in front of her, but then she noticed another Ling in the distance! “How is that possible!?”

“It's an afterimage! A human brain's reaction time is 0.1 seconds. If an object moves faster than 0.1 seconds, then you can see an afterimage. The real Ying is the one in the distance. Ling, you're really fast!” explained Li Yuxin and praised Ling.

Ling nodded slightly with a smile on her face. She was quite satisfied with her evolution.

“Excellent! I also feel that my body is light and comfortable,” said Xiang Xuehai.

Upon hearing that, Jiang Zhuying could hardly wait to use her powers. “Great. Let give it a try now!” she said excitedly.

Then a blue electric ball, emitting ear-splitting sounds, appeared in her hands. All of a sudden, everyone around her felt unbearable pain from their skin. They also felt that their eyes would be burned to ashes if they kept staring at it.

“Zhuying! You'd better stop!”

“This environment isn't suitable for you to test your powers.”

Xiang Xuehai and Ran Xiyu intervened immediately, so Jiang Zhuying had to give up. Then all the girls turned to look at Jiang Lius.h.i.+, who had yet to wake up. His body seemed toned, while his muscles contained explosive power. Under his skin, blue hues of light were s.h.i.+ning, and with his every breath, a stream of blue light was coursing through his body.

“Brother Jiang's lifeforce… became stronger,” said Li Yuxin while looking at Jiang Lius.h.i.+. She could clearly feel that Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s lifeforce had undergone a great transformation compared to five months ago. Undoubtedly, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had been evolving non-stop during the past five months. The girls had all improved by absorbing the residue energy, so their leader's improvement was unimaginable.

At that moment, they all heard a booming sound, its source? Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s body!

They noticed that Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s chest was rhythmically undulating, and after the rumbling sound, more blue cl.u.s.ters of light were constantly gathering around. Surprisingly, as if they were intelligent ent.i.ties, the blue cl.u.s.ters of light bypa.s.sed the girls! Just from looking at them, one could imagine the horrifying amount of energy they contained inside.

When the last wave of energy exploded, Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s eyelids moved, and then he slowly opened his eyes. Everyone was stunned as his eyes radiated blue light, which disappeared after a few minutes. Still, Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s gave off a mysterious vibe.

“Brother Jiang, you finally woke up!” Xiang Xuehai was the first to come back to her senses. When thinking that she had not spoken to him for five months, she was unable to restrain herself and jumped in Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s embrace.

“Brother Jiang!” Li Yuxin also jumped at him.

Ran Xiyu was kind of reserved at first. But as soon as she saw the other two taking action, she followed suit.

The three girls stimulated him right after he woke up!

“Ah!” Xiang Xuehai was the first to feel something poking her.

Of course, Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin could tell what was happening. Ran Xiyu's cheeks turned pink, and her ears became red.

“Hey!” Jiang Zhuying coughed twice. “Can you consider the visual impact? I am still a child!”

Ran Xiyu felt ashamed, so she quickly released Jiang Lius.h.i.+. And then, the other two girls also quickly stood up.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ stood up immediately, approached his sister, and flicked her forehead. “You are 20! Can you still be considered a child?”

Ran Xiyu looked at Sta.r.s.eed, which was still hovering above them, and asked, “Brother Jiang, what's the current situation?”

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ sensed for a while before giving an answer. “Only 25% of the energy here has been absorbed.”

“Oh, so slow?” Li Yuxin was surprised.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded. According to the current speed, it would take Sta.r.s.eed a lot of time to absorb the Metal Essence's energy, but that was normal. Initially, Sta.r.s.eed was a part of the stars.h.i.+p, and it wasn't easy to complete its reconstruction. Fortunately, because of Sta.r.s.eed's energy, they would not starve to death.

“At least, I should be able to do something with my current power,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+.

Then he waved his hand, and a blue cl.u.s.ter of energy appeared above his palm. The blue cl.u.s.ter constantly deformed in Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s hands until it turned into a dress. The dress sparkled with blue hues of light and was extremely beautiful.

“This is Xiyu's size, so I'll gift it to her,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+.

Although he liked the allure those pieces of cloth gave to the girls' captivating figures, he was aware that Ran Xiyu was uncomfortable to have so little to cover her body.

Ran Xiyu was surprised, but she quickly grabbed the dress and moved a little further to wear it. It was a long, sparkling blue dress, which split to the thigh, and with every step, her white jade-like skin was exposed. The dress was really enhancing her hair and silver eyes and made her look even more beautiful. Now, she resembled a n.o.ble Elf coming out of the great expanse of darkness.

Ran Xiyu revealed a bright smile, stunning everyone, and slowly walked toward her beloved. “Is it a little too s.e.xy for me?” she asked in a low voice.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ caught her hand and pulled her in his embrace. Then he whispered in her ear, “No, you're like a fairy. Do you like this dress?”

“Of course, I like it very much.” Ran Xiyu's voice became lighter, and her body softened like b.u.t.ter in Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s embrace.

“That's all that matters,” replied Jiang Lius.h.i.+.

Naturally, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ a lot of touches he liked when he was designing the dress…
