Chapter 147 The Ninja Escapes with Three Noble Phantasms
At dawn, the sky was dim.
A faint ray of light shone through the windows of the unfinished house, which had not yet been fitted with glass.
Renata pressed her right hand against her left upper arm, her entire left arm hanging limply, as if it were broken.
His right eye was also tightly closed and he couldn't open it.
The golden light in its left eye gradually faded, returning to its original azure hue, but it no longer shone as brightly as it had last night.
There was no light in Renata's eyes for the time being.
Except for the load-bearing wall behind Ye Jingchen, the cement walls on this floor are riddled with holes.
Over a period of six or seven hours, Renata used several different incantations.
"Word of Power: Yin Thunder".
"Word of Power: Vortex".
"Word of Power..."
She tried several different incantations, but none of them could break through Ye Jingchen's alchemical power.
Ye Jingchen remained standing in the same spot, maintaining that posture without moving an inch.
Renata changed her approach, and the last one she used was "Word of Power: Ghostly Victory".
The girl with short white hair, Shudeya, is this Word of Power.
"Word of Power: Ghostly Victory" can greatly enhance the body's strength, essentially eliminating the body's protective mechanisms for its muscles.
By maximizing the power of the body's muscles, one can achieve up to eight times the strength of muscles in their normal state.
However, this is a Word of Power with a forced side effect. After using this Word of Power, the hybrid will enter a state of extreme weakness, unable to even stand steadily, and in more serious cases, may even faint directly.
Renata threw a powerful punch, weighing about 70 kilograms, which, with an eightfold increase, would be 560 kilograms.
One thousand kilograms equals one ton.
If Ye Jingchen casually waved his hand and couldn't control the force, it would weigh two tons, more than three times the weight of Renata under the "Word of Power: Ghostly Victory" enhancement.
Seeing that Renata seemed to be about to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Ye Jingchen silently withdrew his alchemical power, and the golden light returned to his body. He turned his head to look at the morning light shining in through the window. After fighting all night, he had finally seen some new tricks of Word of Power from Renata.
Ye Jingchen said calmly, "There's no need to fight anymore. You can take Jiu De Mai back now."
"Thank you..." Renata hadn't finished speaking when everything went black before her eyes, and she fell to her left.
Ye Jingchen rushed over, caught Renata, and reached out to open her eyelids to examine the condition of her pupils. "So she was already at her last gasp? No wonder she was in such a hurry to activate the Word of Power: Ghost Victory."
Ye Jingchen held Renata in his arms, since her body was so small and thin, it would feel strange to carry her on his shoulder.
Ye Jingchen embarked on his journey home.
Many shops were open on the streets in the early morning.
Along the way, Ye Jingchen saw mostly breakfast shops.
Arriving at his own doorstep, he first looked around and saw that there was no one else there.
He looked up again, slightly bent his knees, and jumped suddenly.
It's still this familiar balcony; it's more convenient to go through the window than through the main entrance.
The window was not closed.
Ye Jingchen looked inside and saw Xia Mi and Jiu De Mai sitting on the sofa, close together.
Xia Mi placed her hand on Shude Mai's shoulder, as if she were suppressing Shude Mai, or perhaps like a falconer and his hawk on the grassland.
The windows had probably been open all night, and snow blew into the floor of the house. Because of the underfloor heating, it kept evaporating, leaving a small puddle of water mixed with snowflakes on the ground.
"Why didn't you close the window?" Ye Jingchen asked, quietly looking at Xia Mi.
Upon hearing Ye Jingchen's voice, Xia Mi quickly withdrew her hand from Jiu De Mai's shoulder!
She transformed back into a well-behaved and docile little maid, her hands clasped together and pressed against her left cheek. "Boss, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you to come home all night. I thought you were going to run away!"
"I haven't been paid yet. Boss, if you were to run away, you should at least give me n+n yuan in compensation, right?"
"What the heck is n+n?" Ye Jingchen asked in confusion. He frowned and looked at Jiu De Mai. "Come here, take her back."
After a night's rest, Mai Shude had recovered and got up to walk over to Ye Jingchen.
Looking at the unconscious Renata in Ye Jingchen's arms, Jiude Mai could hardly imagine what this petite Renata had gone through in such a long time!
Jiu De Mai reached out and grabbed Ye Jingchen's collar, "Why! Why don't you come at me! Why!"
"She's fine. I didn't do anything to her. She took the initiative herself..." The more Ye Jingchen spoke, the more he felt something was wrong. He reached out and put Renata into Shude Mai's arms.
When Mai Shude heard this, she felt like the sky had fallen. It was one thing if others didn't know, but she knew Renata better than anyone else.
This petite Renata valued her loyalty to her boss far more than her own life.
Mai Shude quickly reached out and took the frail Renata from Ye Jingchen's hands. She stared at the unconscious Renata and began to regret her impulsive actions.
Ye Jingchen reached out and patted Jiu De Mai's shoulder, "The more I explain, the worse it gets. You can ask her yourself when she wakes up."
"Don't touch me! Ye Jingchen, you disgust me!" Jiu De Mai shook her shoulder and shook off Ye Jingchen's hand.
"You have some nerve!" Xia Mi pointed her finger at Jiu De Mai's nose, her other hand on her hip. "Show some respect to the boss, or I'll smash your head open and fry it in a pot!"
╰(‵□′)╯
Jiude Mai gave Ye Jingchen and Xia Mi a cold look, imprinting their current expressions deeply into her mind.
She was forced by Xia Mi's tyranny on one hand.
On the other hand, they were worried that Ye Jingchen might change his mind and kill the ticket at the last minute.
He stopped arguing and, carrying the petite Renata, climbed out the window and escaped...
Xia Mi walked to the window, covered her eyes with her palm, and glanced at the nimble Mai Shude fleeing on the rooftop. "Hmph! You little rascal, you're lucky you ran fast!"
Xia Mi gently closed the window, turned around and glanced at Ye Jingchen. She smoothed the wrinkles on her white-lined black-checkered apron with her hand. "Um... Boss, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll make you some noodles."
"Okay, go ahead and make a couple more eggs," Ye Jingchen replied, walking over to the sofa and plopping down on it.
“(?￣ ? ￣?) Okay! Boss, I’m going right now!” Xia Mi turned and walked into the kitchen.
Ye Jingchen raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. He looked at the puddle of water on the ground and fell into deep thought. "Xia Mi, bring a mop over later and mop up the water on the floor."
Xia Mi's voice came from the kitchen, "Yes, boss!"
"You didn't sleep all night either, did you? Go catch some sleep after you're done with your work. I'll ask you to go grocery shopping when I'm cooking this afternoon. There shouldn't be much to do today."
"Thank you, boss!"
Ye Jingchen sat cross-legged, placing his hands on his knees. Golden alchemical power emanated from him, protecting his body.
He quietly closed his eyes and began to speculate in his mind:
"Why hasn't Kassel College sent any news yet? This isn't like Principal Angers' style. Could it be that the college has secretly started exploring Norton's lair behind my back?"
