The sphere of light suddenly launched into a spiraling Thomas flare, spinning at high speed!
"Aaargh-!"
"Aaargh-!"
"Aaargh-!"
The tremendous centrifugal force flung Qian Renxue's body outward. Her lower half hung in midair, swinging counterclockwise with the rotation.
Only her two hands remained, clinging desperately to the surface of the membrane of light.
Every knuckle stood out sharply, and her fair hands had turned a bluish white as she poured every last bit of her soul power into them.
But the speed of the rotation kept increasing.
Her right hand gave out first. Her palm slipped abruptly, and another half of her body was flung away.
Then the fingers of her left hand could no longer hold on either.
One, two... five.
Qian Renxue lost every point of purchase in an instant. Like a kite with its string snapped, she spun through the air and fell toward the distant mountain forest.
"I won't give up-!"
Her voice grew farther and fainter until it vanished entirely.
"Whoa~ She flew pretty far. Wonder if she'll still make it back for dinner."
Lin Xiao gazed into the distance through the membrane of light and sighed in wonder.
"Guga?"
Chef Guga instinctively raised his head.
Oh, so Boss wasn't asking for food.
He promptly drooped his head again.
He rubbed his little spatula against his goose foot, then held it before his nose and sniffed.
"Gugaga~"
Just then, Ning Rongrong suddenly stretched.
"Ahh~ Finally finished absorbing it."
She slowly opened her eyes, only to find Xiao Wu's entire face right in front of her.
"Whoa! Why are you so close to me?!"
Ning Rongrong whipped her head from side to side, examining the softly glowing inner wall of the sphere.
"Huh? We're inside Di Guga's ball? Why are we here? Where's Sword Grandpa?"
