Chat Group Gets Slapped Around

By then, the mountain pinning Sun Wukong down had been heated to over ten thousand degrees. The surrounding air had turned scorching hot, and even every breath felt like flames searing his throat.

Fortunately, Di Lena had kept the energy contained within a certain range. Otherwise, the surrounding woods would have gone up in flames and burned everything to ashes.

But this was not a long-term solution. Even if she could keep the energy under control, the mountain's temperature would eventually raise the temperature of the entire surrounding environment.

Di Lena refused to admit defeat. She had dug in against the mountain and continued pouring out energy.

Du Kao and Lian Feng immediately stopped Di Lena. Both of them were drenched in sweat by now.

Their bodies possessed heat-resistant genes, but there was still a limit. They would not be able to endure if this continued.

Sun Wukong was in even worse shape. His beautiful golden fur had been singed bald, and he kept panting.

"Old Du, I can still keep going," Di Lena said, wanting to continue.

"Don't continue, Leina," Du Kao said.

"If the temperature keeps rising, it could alter Juxia City's climate. It may become a disaster," Lian Feng said.

"...No, what kind of mountain is this? Even the Sun's energy can't melt it?" Di Lena said.

"Heh heh, I, Old Sun, already told you. You couldn't do it, but you didn't believe me," Sun Wukong said.

"Wukong, stop talking too. That struggle couldn't have felt good either, right? Get some rest. Next, we'll see what Qiang Wei can do," Du Kao said.

"What's this? I, Old Sun, am indestructible. It's just a little heat," Sun Wukong said stubbornly.

Du Kao called Qiang Wei several times, but the calls never connected.

This made him worry about his daughter's safety.

After all, he knew nothing about Xu Yi.

"Lian Feng, tell me what exactly happened," Di Lena asked.

"This is what happened, Leina." Lian Feng explained everything from beginning to end.

Di Lena's expression shifted from surprise, to shock, to silence.

So the culprit had actually been that Earth human who had eaten barbecue with her before—the handsome guy named Xu Yi.

"No, Earth has someone this awesome, and you didn't know?" Di Lena complained.

"Now we do," Lian Feng said.

Near dawn, Du Qiangwei rode back on her motorcycle. She had come alone.

"Qiang Wei, why did you take so long? You're not hurt, are you?" Du Kao immediately stepped forward to ask. He was still deeply concerned about his daughter.

"I'm fine." Qiang Wei got off the motorcycle, her expression calm.

"Did you find a way?" Lian Feng asked.

Qiang Wei glanced at Sun Wukong, whose fur had been singed off by Leina. "Ahem, Xu Yi said that getting out is actually very simple."

"Qiang Wei, tell me, how is it simple?" Sun Wukong quickly asked.

"Dig a hole in the ground." Qiang Wei slowly spoke those few words.

"..." Sun Wukong.

"??" Di Lena, Du Kao, and Lian Feng.

"Dig a hole?"

Sun Wukong tried clawing at the ground. He discovered that the mountain no longer seemed to be pressing down on him. He immediately clawed a few more times, quickly opening a gap before drilling his whole body out.

"It was that simple?"

Sun Wukong still found it hard to believe. He had held up that mountain for so long, yet it was no match for digging a hole in the ground.

Of course, it was not actually that simple. Xu Yi had withdrawn his will, which was why he could dig his way out.

Otherwise, no matter how Sun Wukong smashed at it, it would have been useless.

By now, Sun Wukong's clothes had long since been burned to tatters by Di Lena. His butt was bright red, his body blackened with soot, and he looked utterly ridiculous.

"Qiang Wei, what did Xu Yi say?" Du Kao asked.

"Xu Yi doesn't want to be disturbed, so we shouldn't interfere with his life," Qiang Wei said.

"Understood." Du Kao nodded.

He had actually wanted to recruit Xu Yi into the Super Soldier Company. Someone so powerful was far too rare. Even Sun Wukong had been suppressed. With a person like that around, Earth would be safer.

But then he reconsidered. How could someone so powerful possibly join the Super Soldier Company and take orders from them?

Even Sun Wukong had been unwilling to join at first. He had only reluctantly come to help because of their friendship spanning a thousand years.

"That won't do. This goddess has to take a look at someone that powerful." Di Lena was full of excitement.

"If you don't want to get beaten up, do as you please." Qiang Wei did not stop her. She knew that even if she tried, she would not be able to.

"Wukong, how do you intend to handle your relationship with Xu Yi?" Du Kao asked.

"I, Old Sun, have never suffered such a huge loss. I, Old Sun, will definitely swallow this anger," Sun Wukong said.

"Then I'm relieved. I was afraid you'd do something reckless, Wukong." Du Kao smiled.

At that moment, the rising sun emerged, and a ray of sunlight shot over the horizon, illuminating the dim sky.

"The Chat Group has found eligible New Members. Please invite them promptly."

"The Chat Group has found eligible New Members. Please invite them promptly."

"Ding!"

On Xu Yi's side, after Qiang Wei left, the Chat Group's voice kept sounding in his ear.

The Chat Group was like a fly now, endlessly buzzing in his ears.

"Chat Group, keep yapping, and don't blame me for slapping you," Xu Yi said.

"Host, you and I are not in the same dimension. How could you slap me? We are not even the same life form. Since you have become the Group Owner, please fulfill the Group Owner's responsibilities and obligations," the Chat Group said.

Xu Yi waved his hand.

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

Somewhere in the void, it seemed that a series of slaps rang out.

The Chat Group fell silent and stopped speaking.

Within some mysterious space, a strange humanoid creature revealed a blank expression.

It seemed like she had just been slapped twice across the face, but how could that be possible?

She was the Chat Group's incarnation, residing in the Chat Group's special space. As long as she did not reveal herself, no one could possibly detect her.

Yet those two slaps from afar had been unmistakably real.

And they had come right after the host said he would slap her. Was it a coincidence? the Chat Group incarnation muttered to herself.

Although the host was very powerful, slapping her across the face from afar seemed utterly absurd.

The Chat Group was a system, and the power of a system stood above all worlds, existing alongside the Dao.

Cultivators were merely at the bottom of the food chain.

But if he was truly that powerful, why had he been bound to her?

"Host, try slapping me again," the Chat Group asked tentatively.

"I've never heard such an outrageous request. Do you think I don't dare?" Xu Yi said, casually waving his hand again.

The force of his hand stirred the Void, like a spring breeze brushing across one's face as it merged into the empty spacetime, ethereal and traceless.

"Slap."

The Chat Group felt the sharp pain on her face, her gaze going blank. "What the hell!"

Naturally, Xu Yi had no idea what the Chat Group was thinking. He had indeed slapped, but whether it had landed or not, he did not know.

As the Chat Group had said, as long as she did not reveal herself, no one knew where she was.

After thinking about it, Xu Yi felt that he was in a fairly good mood, so he activated his authority and invited new members.

"Ding, the Chat Group has activated the New Member invitation function. Inviting now."

"Ding, Immortal Ancient Willow God has joined the Chat Group!"

"Ding, Ye Hei has joined the Chat Group!"

"Ding, Bi Cang Wang has joined the Chat Group!"

"Ding, Uchiha Madara has joined the Chat Group!"
