Yao Si finally understood the meaning of immense pressure! She glanced at the black portals ahead. Since they were all at their wit’s end, she could only go all out!

Yao Si inhaled deeply, gathering the power that was accumulating within her. With the previous horrid experiences with her ability, she didn’t just unleash all the power at once. Instead, she raised a cautious hand upwards, letting just a little out. As expected, a spiral appeared, which was about the size of her palm.

Joy spread through her; she knew about her space ability. Mu Xuan had mentioned that her space ability was a counter which meant that she could retrieve anything that was sucked into a portal.

Bai Yi had been right. The two powers would counteract each other, eradicating themselves in the process. Once she opened the portal to counteract the black hole in front of her, they could leave with ease.

Besides, there wasn’t anyone unleashing anything else here, so there wasn’t anything else that could be countered. The worst scenario was for the checkpoint to reappear, but there wasn’t going to be any other problem…

Most likely?!

Yao Si’s nerves were strung tight as she enlarged the portal gradually/ Soon after, it was almost the size of the hidden portal.

Once it fully opened, the devouring black hole stopped as they had predicted. Its power started to diminish as well.

Success!

Yao Si’s heart trembled, but she continued to focus on the devouring portal as it grew smaller. It was only when it had completely disappeared into the one she had created that she finally relaxed. Waving her hands, she stopped using her ability.

Great, great! There weren’t any mishaps this time, so my counter ability was…

“Ah!”

Just as she was in the mid of her exhale, the portal that had closed up reopened once again with a loud thud that sounded like bones cracking. The black portal was spat out together with a human figure.

…

Useful… was it?!

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

How could something that had been swallowed be spat out?! And what was with the person that came out ? Buy one get one for free?

“Are you f*cking crazy?” The figure appeared in front of Yao Si like a whirlwind, glaring at her with fury in its eyes. Wait… it looked familiar “I was busy reconstructing my planet at home, so why did you drag me here? Didn’t I send you the spiritual beast blood curd? What else do you want?”

“Lin-Lin Long!”

(⊙ o ⊙)

F*ck! Didn’t we promise not to spit out random things? It seemed like the nature of her space ability was: It won’t be comfortable unless it spit something out? But why Lin Long?

“Why are you here?”

“You’re asking me?! Who the f*ck should I ask then? Didn’t you suddenly open a portal that pulled me in forcefully?” he fumed, seemingly about to eat someone up. “It took me so much effort to piece the planet together. I was about to test the space connection, so how could you just drag me over without any prior notice?! You’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you?! Did I offend you?”

“Er… It’s a misunderstanding.”

When she had opened the counter space portal, he happened to be testing out his own space portal, so… he was dragged over purely by coincidence? Was that even possible?!

(⊙_⊙)

“Your Highness!” Bai Yi shouted out abruptly while taking a look at her before glancing over at Lin Long who had suddenly appeared. He seemed to have remembered something as he pointed in front of them anxiously. “Hurry and look at that black hole…”

Yao Si glanced over. F*ck! Her previous attempt at space ability usage had failed, and the black hole had grown even larger. It had even started devouring the surrounding black holes. If all of them joined it, the planet would be in trouble.

“Where the f*ck is this place?” Lin Long frowned, disdain apparent on his face. “Hey! The one with the surname Yao, someone else’s contractor, what exactly do you want from me after dragging me all the way here?”

What sort of greeting is that!

“I’ll explain to you in a moment.” Yao Si pointed toward the black hole anxiously. “You have a space ability as well right? Could you help me close that hole up?”

“Why should I help you? Who are you?” Lin Long scoffed with an insufferably arrogant look on his face. “I haven’t even gotten even with you! So why should I help you? Do you really think you are amazing just because you are a contractor?!

“Heh! What do you mean by space ability? My abilities are stronger than you can ever imagine. Don’t forget, I’m a pure breed, so what do you bastards know? In the entire Galaxy, my abilities are considered… the second best! It’s just a few black holes, so what’s the big deal!”

He waved his hands.

Several loud thumps rang out as large space portals opened up. In less than half a minute, all the black holes and unstable portals in front of them disappeared.

The entire area was cleared, and the surroundings sunk into silence!

“…” Bai Yi.

“…” Li Zheng.

“…” Yao Si.

“Yo-your Highness, he is?”

“A pro sent by a monkey!”

“…”

–

“I’m going back to my tests.” Lin Long waved his hand, prepared to open up a space portal, but a thought struck him then. He turned back to glare at Yao Si with an ‘extremely scary’ expression as he spat through clenched teeth, “In the future, don’t ever drag me over out of nowhere, or I will kill you!”

“Wait a minute!” Yao Si tugged at his sleeve.

“What else do you want?” He pushed her hands away with contempt.

“Since you’re here, you should stay a little longer!” Yao Si smiled—a pro that had come willingly should not be wasted. “This planet is rather dangerous, but we have to visit a few more spots. Since your ability is the world’s… second best, why don’t you go along with us?”

“Why did you drag me here?” He glanced at her with suspicion. “Where’s your pure breed? Did he burn his brain and decided to toss you here?”

Yao Si coughed into her hand. “The situation is a little special.”

Who would have known that this planet was so deceptive? Besides, it was after all a coming of age test, so if she were to seek help from Mu Xuan, she would probably never escape the status of a young cub. Because of that, she couldn’t seek help from him. Plus, she had brought along two burdens. “Just say the word, will you help me out?”

“Not helping!” he replied firmly. “I finally understand it—nothing goes right whenever I meet you, huh? I just want to head home right now and can’t be bothered with you guys’ business. You can do whatever you want!”

Without another word, he turned to leave!

Yao Si remained still, counting down silently: one, two, three…

“F*ck!” Even before he made it ten meters away, Er Gou came back with clenched teeth. “Speak, where else do you need to go?”

╮(╯▽╰)╭

So…

Yao Si taped open the map and pointed to the next checkpoint. Lin Long waved a portal open and headed inside. When they didn’t rush in after, he turned and glared at them. “Are you guys dumb, why are you still standing there? Move!”

“…” Bai Yi.

“…” Li Zheng.

“Your… Highness, he is… he a little…” Bai Yi lowered his voice, but he still couldn’t spit the words out.

Yao Si sighed deeply, then patted his shoulder. “Young man, get used to it!”

“…”

Arrogance is considered an illness and has to be treated!
