In the towering building with the giant characters "Cheng Xinyi," Manager Bai, dressed in a sexy pink lace nightgown with a sweet and charming demeanor, stood at the window full of surprise, gazing at the sky where dark clouds churned, occasionally revealing streaks of light resembling a Spiritual Snake, with her brows tightly knitted.

"Is it a heavenly tribulation? Could someone be undergoing Ascension?"

While she pondered in astonishment, within a three-story villa several kilometers away from Jinyu Huacheng, Xu Nan, having set down his pen, looked towards the swirling clouds in the distant sky, a contemplative smile playing at his attractive lips.

"Foundation Establishment in the King Realm, hm? Looks powerful." He put his pen in the pen holder on his desk and expectantly picked up the cup of red wine from the table, gently swirling the glass. Through the red wine, the lightning in the clouds appeared like flickering neon lights.

The smile at the edge of his sensuous lips grew broader, "From this direction, it must be that guy selling Gathering Qi Powder. In about two months, he evolved from a rookie who didn't even know how to kill someone to this level? Indeed, very promising."

He drained the wine in one gulp and placed the glass on the table, his slightly flushed face beaming with a broader smile.

"However, to get the real help from Wan Xin and Sheng Zhen, just this is not enough; you need to stay alive first."

Meanwhile,

Approximately five or six kilometers straight from Jinyu Huacheng, at the edge of the swirling cloud, atop a large building.

A dignified middle-aged man, exuding an aura of authority, carefully watched in the direction of Jinyu Huacheng.

Dressed in military garb with a graceful posture, Qian Shanxue stood respectfully just a step behind and to the right of him.

"It looks like the higher-ups made the right decision. His current situation is even more dangerous than yours was back then. Go, 967A, he needs you by his side at this time."

Frowning slightly, Qian Shanxue said, "Instructor, something seems off with this situation. Are you sure you don't need my help to stop it?"

The authoritative middle-aged man laughed heartily and then looking towards Qian Shanxue, he spoke indifferently, "The little girl who used to hide in the corner and secretly cry has now become the famous Colonel Qian Shanxue of Huaxia. Naturally, I as an instructor have become much stronger."

"So go confidently, just like back then. Let me shatter this mass of dark clouds above!"

Hearing this, Qian Shanxue respectfully said, "Yes, Instructor, I understand."

As Qian Shanxue was about to leave, the dignified man said sternly, "Don't call me Instructor anymore; you are no longer a Dragon Nest trainee. Go on, and remember to call me something else."

"Understood."

With a powerful leap, the graceful figure of Qian Shanxue soared into the air, but in her mind flashed an image of a man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, somewhat handsome with a kind smile, holding a steaming dish of pork elbow, saying to her, "Hey, 967A, are you hungry?"

A rare smile appeared on her lips as she darted between buildings amidst the storm, murmuring to herself, "Indeed, with him around, there's really nothing to worry about. He is one of the strongest in the Dragon Group!"

Outside, the fierce wind carried fine rain.

While peeking shyly at Shen Qiang, the Golden Cicada blushed, her mind inexplicably filled with images of Su Xiaonuan coquettishly snuggling in Shen Qiang's embrace.

"I wish to be cherished by my master just like her."

The Golden Cicada thought.

Just then, the window clattered, and a startled Golden Cicada saw, without a sound or trace, Qian Shanxue, dressed in military attire and extremely beautiful, had already appeared by her side.

Before she could react, Qian Shanxue, with a curious gaze, said, "Are you a sprite? The one who knocked out Ali last time?"

Frightened by her intense gaze, the Golden Cicada numbly nodded.

Qian Shanxue's eyes brightened as she grabbed the Golden Cicada in her hand, "How adorable, from now on, you'll follow me."

Almost at the same time, Qian Shanxue was shocked to realize her hand was empty.

She then looked up and saw the Golden Cicada standing about five meters ahead, its gaze cold, "Please leave immediately."

"Instantaneous Movement, huh? It was so fast I didn't even feel it," Qian Shanxue's eyes shone even more brightly.

"Please leave immediately, or Golden Cicada will kill you," the Golden Cicada said with an unusually serious expression.

Perceiving her hostility, Qian Shanxue's brows furrowed slightly, "I'm not your enemy. Shen Qiang is in trouble, and I came to help."

The Golden Cicada eyed her warily, "The Master is just cultivating, he's not in trouble at all."

Hearing this, Qian Shanxue's expression turned peculiar. She then walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the turbulent clouds in the sky. She addressed the Golden Cicada, "Do you think normal rain looks like this?"

"In this situation, it's because Shen Qiang's talent is so great. During his Foundation Establishment, he triggered a celestial anomaly. If nothing goes wrong, there will soon be a particularly thick bolt of lightning striking down. If no one protects Shen Qiang, he will die," Qian Shanxue explained.

Hearing this, the Golden Cicada became frantic, "What should I do then?"

Seeing the panicked look on the Golden Cicada's face, Qian Shanxue smiled, "Don't worry, it's okay. My master is already here. He's very powerful, his Cultivation has reached the Peak of the Mixed Element Realm. He will surely protect Shen Qiang."

The Golden Cicada sighed in relief, "Oh, that's good. Since the Master will be fine, you can go now."

Qian Shanxue was startled, and almost at the same time,

Boom!

A violent flash of lightning, thicker than a building, smashed down without warning, appearing instantly in the plantation and engulfing Shen Qiang, who was sitting cross-legged.

"How is this possible! Did the instructor fail?"

With her eyes nearly splitting in fury, Qian Shanxue instantly reacted, but by then it was already too late to save Shen Qiang.

The explosive burst of lightning, with its formidable force, not only instantly destroyed everything in the plantation but even tore apart the space around it with its fearsome power.

"It's too late!"

The utterly alarmed Qian Shanxue realized this and was surprised to see the Golden Cicada, knocked by the violent lightning, flying towards her.

Bang!

Qian Shanxue extended her hands forward, catching the Golden Cicada in her embrace as her Cultivation in the Mixed Element Realm erupted in an instant.

Boom!

Although she managed to block the residual force from the lightning that struck Shen Qiang, she soon felt that she was not just contending against any ordinary force, but resisting a fierce, unrivaled meteor.

Squeak, squeak...

The high-quality military boots slid against the ground, the friction from the tremendous force and the intense heat of the lightning almost instantly wore down the boots turning them to ash, revealing Qian Shanxue's pristine, delicate, unrivaled jade feet that were desperately resisting the shock...
