In the darkness, Ji Yuan's bloodshot eyes gleamed with an unnatural cold light as he stared intently at the only living creature in the room besides himself, like a cheetah about to pounce, eager to tear its prey apart and devour it.

Heavy breathing filled the quiet room. Feng Qingyue flicked her tail in annoyance: something felt off about this person.

A faint, violent fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from the air. Feng Qingyue's expression changed slightly. She carefully examined Ji Yuan's current state again and made a guess in her mind.

This person must have fallen into a mental breakdown.

Stretching comfortably, Feng Qingyue slowly transformed into human form, meeting the man's savage gaze. She grabbed his collar with her slender hands and pulled him close, saying casually, "Come on, let's go outside and fight."

After saying that, she turned around and quickly flipped out of the window, flying into the depths of the forest.

I should have gone to the lab with Qingfeng and the others. What a hassle.

Feng Qingyue wandered through the forest, turning left and right, picking and choosing, and finally found a good place to fight.

Looking back at the man who was already poised to attack, Feng Qingyue straightened her expression slightly. Points of light blue light gathered on her naturally hanging left hand, and light blue mist began to surround her.

The mist was ever-changing and ethereal, from which one could vaguely see the majestic momentum of surging waves and rolling seas, as well as the gentle atmosphere of rain falling from the sky and nourishing all things.

Guixu is a bottomless cave in the water where all waters converge. As a spirit shark who controls the power of Guixu, her spiritual power contains various forms of water, which shows her strength.

The mist gradually solidified, turning into streams of water that protected Feng Qingyue. Her legs, once legs, transformed into a fish tail under the nourishment of the water, and the aura of a lord-level beast spread outwards without concealment.

Ji Yuan looked at the woman in front of him and tilted his head.

Terrifying lightning began to gather around him, and the powerful and domineering lightning raged, scorching all the flowers and plants on the surrounding ground.

His dark red eyes held an abnormal, violent aura. A spatial rift appeared on Ji Yuan's right hand, and at the same time, an identical spatial rift appeared in front of Feng Qingyue.

As expected, he had fallen into a mental energy outburst, and he was using such a method of overdrawing his mental energy without any scruples.

Bolts of lightning, carrying terrifying killing intent, suddenly shot out from the spatial rift, heading straight for Feng Qingyue.

The air temperature dropped sharply around the girl, the flow of water slowed down visibly, white mist gradually spread outwards, and lightning that touched the mist slowed down almost instantly.

Feng Qingyue gently touched one of the lightning bolts with her slender fingers. With a crisp "crack," the lightning bolt began to crack, then shattered into pieces and fell to the ground, sparkling and quite beautiful.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan exerted force with his feet, gathered lightning in his hands again, and charged straight at Feng Qingyue.

Chains of ice crystals rose from the ground and wrapped around the man's body, while ice spikes pierced his body at extremely tricky angles.

Lightning crackled around Ji Yuan, and with the support of spatial blades, he shattered the chains and ice spikes. Seemingly realizing that his opponent was no ordinary opponent, a bracelet on Ji Yuan's wrist began to flash.

The military's nanotechnology was activated, and an energy blade appeared in Ji Yuan's hand.

The energy blade, brimming with killing intent, whistled as it slashed towards Feng Qingyue's head. At the same time, lightning gathered in the man's other hand, transforming into a lightning cage that blocked the girl's escape route.

Feng Qingyue looked at the lightning that was about to blind her and the murderous blade in front of her, and clicked her tongue softly.

With a "clang," Feng Qingyue effortlessly caught the energy blade that was about to strike her head with her bare hands. At the same time, her beautiful fishtail lashed out horizontally, carrying with it an extremely cold white mist, directly breaking through the lightning cage and sweeping Ji Yuan away.

The energy blade left a mark on the ground. Ji Yuan steadied himself. For a moment, his eyes regained their clarity due to the pain. Looking at the little girl in front of him, Ji Yuan's expression changed. He subconsciously wanted to leave this place.

He couldn't let his mental outburst harm her; that was the only thing he could think of before losing his mind again.

The fluctuations of his spiritual energy became even more violent, and the corners of Ji Yuan's eyes glowed with an abnormal scarlet color, with red light flashing in his eyes, inexplicably bright in the darkness.

The spatial attribute mental power mercilessly tore apart the space around Feng Qingyue, and sharp spatial fragments floated around her, with spacetime disordered, showing its danger.

Lightning clung to the fragments of space, constantly traversing the spatial rifts with elusive movements, gradually approaching Feng Qingyue.

Seeing the extremely murderous scene before her, Feng Qingyue clasped her hands together, and strands of golden energy flowed from between her fingers. The energy gently surrounded her, silently neutralizing the killing move in front of her.

Ji Yuan charged towards her again, his spatial attribute spiritual power wrapped around his energy blade. With a single slash, he actually tore through space, and Ji Yuan's figure appeared in front of Feng Qingyue in an instant.

Feng Qingyue frowned, her beautiful fishtail once again trying to swat the man in front of her away. Ji Yuan felt the wind coming from the side, subconsciously reached out and grabbed something slippery. He held it tightly and pulled it off.

A slight stinging sensation came from her tail. Feng Qingyue looked closely and exclaimed: Good heavens, this bastard had actually torn off one of her scales!

The anger in her heart surged, and Feng Qingyue's terrifying mental power erupted in an instant, directly and forcefully controlling Ji Yuan's body. Then, with full force, her fish tail lashed out at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was already in a state of mental energy turmoil, and coupled with his previous reckless overuse of mental energy, he was sent flying again and coughed up blood.

The man knelt on one knee, his energy blade planted in the ground, barely managing to steady himself. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his crimson eyes stared intently at the girl before him.

Feng Qingyue was clearly still furious. She held an ice spike in her hand and mercilessly stabbed it into the man's leg: You dog of a man, how dare you tear off my scales! Let's see if you dare to do it again next time.

After doing all this, Feng Qingyue looked at a spot on her fair leg where blood was flowing, and pitifully tended to her wound herself.

I was so stupid, really. I should have gone with Qingfeng and the others. Now I've lost a beautiful scale for nothing.

Looking at Ji Yuan again, and seeing that he was in a much worse state than herself, Feng Qingyue felt a strange sense of accomplishment. She shook off her previous unhappiness and hummed a little tune as she walked out of the forest.

Ji Yuan's breathing was heavy, and his eyes still held an extreme ferocity. Watching the little girl's departing figure, he struggled to chase after her, but the exhaustion of his mental energy caused his vision to go black, and he collapsed to the ground.

His mecha sensed that its master's body had been injured and automatically activated the healing system, which healed all of Ji Yuan's external injuries.

Ji Yuan's left hand remained tightly clenched, with a faint light emanating from it.

Whenever Ji Yuan was in a state of mental turmoil, Long Tian was completely unable to leave the mental space. So when he finally rushed out in a panic to join forces with others to stop his master, he was stunned.

Who can tell him that the pale-faced, seemingly unwell man in front of him is really his master?!

Long Tian was only shocked for a second. He quickly took out the mental energy surge inhibitor specially developed by the Federation and injected it into his master. Then, he connected his mental energy with his master's mental energy to repair the overdraft of his mental energy. After doing all this, Long Tian returned to the mental space with a tired look on his face.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Yuan opened his eyes, which had regained their clarity.

His left hand instinctively reached out to pinch his brow, and as he raised his hand, Ji Yuan saw what was in his palm.

It was a pale blue scale, shimmering in the sunlight; the word "radiant" would be an understatement.

Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, and certain memories suddenly flooded into his mind.

Upon learning that these were the little girl's scales, his expression changed slightly, and a look of heartache appeared in his eyes.

Carefully folding the scales and placing them close to his heart, Ji Yuan searched on his personal computer for the types of gifts that girls generally like.
