The Abused Novel Heroine Became a Clingy Sweetheart [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 70

“Right, where is Ji Man?”

You Ting looked around. She was a little unaccustomed to not seeing the familiar, talkative figure.

Ji Zhou answered honestly: “After we entered the survivor base, Ji Man gege was taken away by an uncle, and he hasn’t appeared since.”

Her tone hesitated, “There are people guarding outside our room, so I have no way of seeing Ji Man gege.”

“That uncle looked very serious,” Ji Zhou asked worriedly, “Will anything happen to Ji Man gege?”

You Ting shook her head: “After all, he is also surnamed Ji. The Ji family wouldn’t be so harsh on him.”

It’s just that he might suffer a bit.

She got up from the bed and slowly rotated her sore wrists.

Ji Zhou turned her head to look at her and asked, “Sister Ting, are you going somewhere?”

You Ting said: “Let’s go, we’ll go see Ji Man.”

She walked toward the door. Her body felt weak from the long sleep.

You Ting paused in place to catch her breath before continuing forward, her fingers landing on the doorknob.

Ji Zhou quickly scurried over and whispered, “But Sister Ting, those people outside won’t allow us to wander around casually.”

With force, she turned the doorknob, and the door was pulled open, leaving a thin gap.

It was a very slight sound, but the people outside instantly looked over.

Their gaze was sharp, and their footsteps on the floor were heavy.

“What’s going on?” one of them walked towards the door.

You Ting had already pulled the door open a little, revealing half of her face.

She looked up, her gaze meeting that of the man guarding the door.

The man’s tall, strong figure almost obscured all the light. He asked in a deep voice, “Is there anything you need?”

His gaze swept over, and he was a little surprised to see it was You Ting.

After all, they had been guarding outside these past few days, and it was always Ji Zhou who opened the door.

You Ting said: “We are going out.”

The man shook his head: “Apologies, this area belongs to a private domain within the base. You cannot move around casually without permission.”

He spoke words of apology, but his tone was extremely cold.

His feet did not give way at all, still standing guard at the door like a small mountain.

You Ting raised her head.

Her ink-colored eyes narrowed slightly, and she said again: “I said, we are going out. You have no right to interfere with our freedom.”

Several men heard the movement and slowly gathered around.

They all looked tall and muscular, clearly not to be trifled with. They stood in a dense crowd, completely blocking the doorway.

Compared to them, Ji Zhou and You Ting inside the door seemed so isolated and vulnerable.

Ji Zhou pursed her lips. Although she couldn’t help but feel a little scared at the sight, she still stood firmly beside You Ting.

You Ting spoke: “You can’t stop me. Move aside.”

Her tone was very calm, as if she were simply stating an established fact.

This made the men guarding the door involuntarily laugh. They revealed their abilities, “Little girl, get things clear. We are all high-level Awakened Ones.”

Ji Zhou and You Ting were not wearing the specific clothing, so there was no smart chip to display their information.

Thus, in the eyes of the crowd, the two girls were nothing special, belonging to the type easiest to bully within the base.

The man leading them said with a cold, serious expression: “You should just stay obediently in the room and not invite trouble upon yourselves. If that pretty face gets hurt, it will be a loss in the end.”

You Ting pulled at the corner of her mouth: “That’s what you should be saying to yourselves.”

She turned her head to look at Ji Zhou: “Are you afraid?”

Ji Zhou clenched her fingers and shook her head, saying, “No, I’m not.”

“Good.”

You Ting suddenly reached out her hand, her fingers clasping Ji Zhou’s hand.

She turned her head again, no longer looking at Ji Zhou, and said with an unwavering gaze: “This is the first lesson I’m teaching you.”

“Close your eyes.”

Her words were cryptic, but Ji Zhou didn’t ask a single question, obediently closing her eyes.

You Ting guided her hand, slowly lifting it upwards.

“Calm your mind and focus,” she said softly, “Cast away all distracting thoughts and feel this world.”

“The world?” Ji Zhou was puzzled.

“Yes, everything in this world. The wind, the temperature, the air, the sounds, and… everyone in this world.”

The clear voice was faint, like running water hitting stones, flowing smoothly past Ji Zhou’s ears.

Her heart unconsciously followed the sound and gradually calmed down. Although her vision was clearly immersed in darkness, she truly seemed to “see” something different.

There were very subtle points of light gently flickering, like fireflies in a field, so small that one dared not easily touch them.

Her consciousness was in an extremely mysterious state, as if she were no longer in the survivor base, but in another world.

A world exclusive to Ji Zhou.

Ji Zhou was still hesitating when she heard the voice near her ear continue: “Ji Zhou, try it.”

Try it.

The hesitation and apprehension in her heart vanished with that one sentence.

She thought, she really should try it.

She couldn’t always stand behind others, unable to do anything.

Ji Zhou tried, slowly reaching out her hand towards the points of light in her mind.

The man at the door frowned and rolled his eyes impatiently: “What are you doing, being all mystical!”

“If you know you were wrong, hurry up and go back inside the room!”

The response he got was a sudden heavy impact.

The person next to him was sent flying out in the blink of an eye, crashing heavily against the wall.

And the girl in front of them had only raised one finger.

You Ting pressed a finger to her lips, making a shushing motion.

“Shh, don’t be noisy.”

The men were dumbfounded, but the anger in their hearts instantly flared up.

Too arrogant! Too arrogant!

They had never endured such disrespect in the survivor base!

The angered crowd cursed and rolled up their sleeves, preparing to unleash their abilities.

But You Ting had no intention of striking first.

She let go of Ji Zhou, took a step back, completely exposing Ji Zhou to the sight of the crowd.

Overwhelming abilities were about to strike, but just before they landed on Ji Zhou, they suddenly seemed to have been paused.

Flames, water spheres, electric light—everything was eerily suspended in the air.

In the deathly silence, the girl opened her eyes.

A trace of golden light flashed across those originally clear amber eyes.

In that instant, the abilities that were originally directed at her and You Ting all changed direction and rushed towards their owners.

This sudden change happened in a flash, catching people completely off guard.

By the time the men reacted, they were already wounded by the abilities they themselves had unleashed, awkwardly dodging.

The faint golden light in Ji Zhou’s eyes slowly faded. She also seemed to have just regained her senses, standing stunned as she looked at the chaotic scene in front of her.

“This is…” she muttered in disbelief under her breath, “Did I do this?”

It felt like that day covered in blood that she wanted to deeply conceal, where she seemed to have exerted unimaginable energy.

But it was also different.

This time, she hadn’t completely lost consciousness and fallen into a coma.

It was a very magical and profound feeling, as if her consciousness was floating in another world.

Her hand touched those floating points of light, and an invisible energy gathered at her fingertips.

For a moment, Ji Zhou felt as if she could…

Control the whole world.

A figure descended beside her. You Ting curved her red lips and whispered to Ji Zhou, “Well done.”

Ji Zhou stared blankly at her palm.

You Ting took her hand again, a warm overlap of hands.

She said: “Ji Zhou, look.”

“As long as you want to, you can—”

Her voice gradually softened: “Save this world.”
