The two rescued Xiao Jie without much effort and sent him to the hospital for treatment. The entire matter was thus considered concluded.
Of course, this was merely their wishful thinking.
At the appropriate time, the two arrived side-by-side on the hospital's top floor. Hot wind swept across their faces, oppressively and stuffily unpleasant. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Yuan Hao, thank you. I really don't know what I would have become if I had stayed in that kind of company," Ma Ruixi said.
Ma Ruixi suddenly lowered her head, staring blankly at her hands, her mind wildly replaying her grip on the dagger moments ago. At that time, she felt as if invisible threads were pulling at her, accompanying a surge of violence. If Ren Yuan Hao hadn't stopped her, the blade would have mercilessly plunged into Li Tiancheng's back.
In doing so, she would have become an intentional killer, even a murderer!
Such consequences were unimaginable for Ma Ruixi at the moment. She had finally escaped from university, escaped from a suffocating family. If such a thing had happened... Da Feng Novel.
How could Ren Yuan Hao not understand how precarious the situation had been? He immediately reached out and patted her head, saying indulgently, "It's alright, it's all in the past. What are your plans now?"
"Plans?"
When it came to the future, this woman, raised in a submissive family, finally showed a hopeful expression. Turning her head, she saw the small white gauze on Ren Yuan Hao's face and immediately burst into laughter.
"You look like Lord Great Wolf now."
"Lord Great Wolf?"
The two exchanged smiles, and Ma Ruixi added, "Actually, before I joined Pei's Group, I received an invitation from Lionheart Group."
Upon hearing "Lionheart Group," Ren Yuan Hao's expression suddenly changed.
"Lionheart Group, an invitation?"
"That's right. I'm skilled in 3D modeling. They seemed to be urgently hiring at the time. After I uploaded my resume, Pei's Group was the first to invite me, so I missed the opportunity."
Ma Ruixi sighed, completely oblivious to the frozen expression on Ren Yuan Hao's face.
"I heard that Lionheart Group is full of workaholics, crazy people with no homes, monsters with all sorts of bizarre ideas. I think even if I got another chance, I wouldn't join that kind of company. I'd go mad."
Just as Ren Yuan Hao was lost in thought, the system voice descended once more.
"You've made a huge profit, kid."
"Made a huge profit? What?"
The system voice became somewhat strange, its tone like falling rocks into a dry well.
"The employer has an unawakened superpower!"
Ren Yuan Hao was slightly surprised. The system had indeed mentioned to him before that some superpowers were innate, arriving with birth. Those were called innate superpowers, which would lie dormant in the human body and awaken or erupt at the right time. The second type was acquired through an accident, called derivative superpowers. Their probability was lower and they were unstable, but their power was usually very strong.
And Ren Yuan Hao belonged to the third type: inherited superpowers.
Inherited superpowers were unpredictable and extremely difficult to obtain, often requiring efforts beyond a single lifetime.
Among the three types of superpowers, only innate superpowers had the possibility of awakening, though they might never awaken in a lifetime.
So, what did the system mean by saying this to him now?
"What do you mean? Are you trying to instigate me to strip it again?"
"Hey, hey, hey, this kind of thing is like wild fruit on a mountain; whoever sees it gets it. Are you going to hesitate about this too?"
The system's words suddenly reminded Ren Yuan Hao of something!
"Damn it, System Sister, that Wang Xin, she wouldn't happen to be a superpower user too, would she!"
The system voice clearly paused, and its tone became cold again.
"I won't hide it from you. That's correct."
Ren Yuan Hao suddenly felt betrayed. He had trusted the system so much, believed she wouldn't do anything self-serving without telling him, but...
"You've disappointed me greatly, Sister."
"Disappointed? You're disappointed before I've even finished speaking? Listen carefully, that expensive drug merely removed the 'cold pulse' from her body. And this cold pulse is merely a byproduct of the superpower generated within her. I couldn't take her superpower at all, and I certainly don't have the ability to take a superpower of that level!"
Ren Yuan Hao remained suspicious and asked, "Really?"
"You! How could you, Ren Yuan Hao? I've poured my heart out to you, and you don't trust me like this? Hmph! I think you want to enjoy some electrotherapy before discussing life with me!"
"Don't—"
As soon as Ren Yuan Hao finished speaking, he felt a surge of high-voltage current course through his body. Every cell began to tingle with excitement, as if a guard trumpeting a rallying cry, starting to revel and roar within him.
Seeing Ren Yuan Hao suddenly twitching in front of her like an epileptic, Ma Ruixi panicked. Just as she reached out to comfort Ren Yuan Hao, currents flowed from Ren Yuan Hao's fingertips to her body!
Flowing clouds surged like galloping warhorses, and scorching winds gusted. Withered leaves swayed in the breeze, rustling. Scattered light spots refracted through the glass of the tall buildings opposite, glaring brightly, like clusters of tiny flames leaping on the two figures who twisted like shrimp.
If anyone were on the rooftop now, they would surely see such a spectacular sight.
Blue arcs of electricity connected the two. The flickering light on their hands was like sparklers lit during the New Year. The blue light was agile, and the white mist they exhaled was like lime vapor drifting from a cave entrance. Their bodies trembled, eventually resembling flipped salted fish. Their expressions were astonishingly uniform, pupils rolled upwards, whites of their eyes showing, their cheeks like jump ropes bouncing up and down from the ground.
This phenomenon lasted for nearly ten minutes. The arcs were as fierce as tigers when they arrived and as gentle as smoke when they departed. Ren Yuan Hao exhaled a large breath of white air and, recovering slightly before Ma Ruixi, felt as if he had been beaten. Every joint was sore and weak.
But he was not an ordinary person, after all. He could still withstand this kind of electrotherapy and quickly recovered from his weakness.
He wanted to help Ma Ruixi up from the ground, but he was afraid that their hands touching would cause a strange electrical phenomenon again. He immediately stopped his foolish action and simply sat down cross-legged, circulating the Azure Sea Tidal Heart Method.
Damn, if the feeling of my heartbeat was this violent, I'd guess lovers wouldn't even be able to do *that*, let alone holding hands or kissing without causing heaven-sent phenomena, lightning, and thunder. That would be truly exhilarating!
Ren Yuan Hao mocked himself, but as soon as he began to circulate his energy, he felt a blockage of qi in his dantian. The more he tried to guide it, the more his dantian felt like it was being pricked by needles!
Just as he was racking his brain for an answer, Ma Ruixi softly moaned and miraculously woke up.
