Chapter 70
The terrifying lightning transformed into a thunder dragon, slamming viciously onto the Ferris wheel.
The overwhelming pressure—clearly not of human origin— made it hard for Ruka to breathe.
BOOM!
With a deafening explosion, the Ferris wheel was split in half by the lightning.
Ruka's face turned deathly pale. She could only grip the handle tightly.
This was Ye Yu's second plan.
The classic hero saves the beauty trope.
This was the mutated thunder serpent he had summoned earlier— a Level 4 mutated beast, just like the giant eagle before it.
The sudden change in the sky immediately caused panic among the customers below.
The Ferris wheel, now split in two, began to sway dangerously.
It looked like it would collapse any second.
Ruka tried to stay calm, but the thought of falling and being smashed to pieces made her whole body turn cold.
Seeing this, Ye Yu immediately grabbed her hand and spoke gently.
"It's okay. With me here, nothing will happen!"
Feeling the warmth from Ye Yu's palm, Ruka's heart inexplicably calmed a little.
With a trembling, tearful voice, she said to Ye Yu:
"I shouldn't have become this damn rental girlfriend… First day on the job and I run into a monster!"
Ye Yu leaned closer and pulled her into his embrace.
His right hand gently patted her back, as if comforting her.
"You're actually doing this on your first day? Then doesn't that make me your first man?"
Feeling the car they were in swaying precariously, Ruka heard Ye Yu's teasing tone and said unhappily:
"It's a matter of life and death and you're still joking? I still have so many things I haven't done… I don't want to die like this!"
"What things haven't you done? I can help you."
Hearing Ye Yu's words, Ruka's face flushed slightly.
Some things… how could she possibly do them with a man she just met?
Just as she was about to say something more, the Ferris wheel finally began to collapse.
Screams erupted from the other passengers above!
Ruka felt an overwhelming sense of despair surge into her heart.
Feeling the sensation of falling, Ruka instinctively hugged Ye Yu back.
Am I going to die?
In that instant, Ruka felt like a revolving lantern flashed before her eyes.
Her entire life seemed to pass in this moment.
Thinking of how she hadn't yet taken care of her parents, how many delicious foods she hadn't eaten, how she hadn't properly fallen in love, hadn't experienced the feeling of her heart racing even once…
"My life has been such a waste!"
With that, Ruka tightly closed her eyes, as if waiting for death to come.
But more than ten seconds passed, and the expected intense pain never arrived.
The car seemed to fall into a strange balance. Then she slowly opened her eyes.
Looking out the window, she saw that their car was somehow still floating in the sky.
"What did you say was a waste?"
Ye Yu's teasing voice came again. Only then did Ruka realize she was still in this man's arms. She tried to pull away, but Ye Yu stopped her.
"Don't move. I'm taking you out now!"
Taking me out?
Ruka was still confused about what Ye Yu meant when she felt him support her back.
His left hand directly held her thighs.
Then their posture changed into a perfect princess carry.
Ruka's face flushed red. Her eyes stared blankly at Ye Yu's profile.
In this moment, he seemed to be glowing!
Ye Yu wasn't just seeming to glow—he really was glowing.
He was using telekinesis to directly control the entire Ferris wheel.
At this time, the door of the car automatically opened. Ye Yu carried Ruka and walked outside.
"What are you doing?"
Ruka looked horrified. Was he planning to die holding her?
Terrified, she once again clung tightly to Ye Yu's neck.
Then what happened next completely shattered her worldview.
Instead of falling, the two of them soared straight into the sky.
Ruka looked at the smiling Ye Yu in shock and murmured:
"Who… who exactly are you?"
"Me? Aren't I your boyfriend right now?"
After Ye Yu smiled and said that, lasers shot from his eyes.
They struck directly at the broken section of the Ferris wheel.
In just a moment, the already broken Ferris wheel was forcibly welded back together.
It couldn't be ridden anymore, but it could easily hold until rescue arrived.
He expended this effort mainly to make Ruka admire him.
Now came the final act of this grand performance.
Ye Yu's act of saving the Ferris wheel had already attracted the attention of the tourists below.
Some cheered, some took out their phones to record.
But they were destined to capture nothing.
"Are we saved?"
While experiencing this miraculous sensation, Ruka asked weakly.
"If this big brother is willing to let us go!"
What does that mean?
Ruka was confused. Then she saw the giant serpent in the sky.
At some point, it had appeared right in front of them.
From afar it hadn't felt like much, but up close she could see just how enormous this monster was!
Just one of its golden beast eyes was larger than both of them combined.
"What do we do now?"
Just looking into that eye made Ruka feel her blood freeze.
Ye Yu said nothing. He looked calmly at the thunder serpent.
The next second, dazzling lightning gathered in the serpent's mouth again.
"Looks like it's not planning to let us go. Hold on tight!"
Hearing this, Ruka clung to Ye Yu desperately.
The next second, the two of them shot straight upward.
The fierce wind felt like knives constantly scraping Ruka's face.
But soon Ye Yu created a telekinetic shield around them.
When Ruka came back to her senses, she saw Ye Yu carrying her continuously weaving through the clouds.
She even saw some kind of bird-like figure rapidly retreating below her feet.
Before she could enjoy it more, she heard a terrifying roar from behind.
She hugged Ye Yu's neck and looked over his shoulder.
Behind them, that terrifying giant serpent was tightly following them!
In its mouth, blue lightning gathered once again.
Ruka shouted at Ye Yu:
"That big snake is about to shoot lightning again! Ye Yu, what do we do?!"
"Hold on tight—I'm going to speed up!"
Huh?
Why did that sound a little off?
Then she felt their speed increase dramatically once more.
Whoosh…
A terrifying friction sound came from her ears. A bolt of blue lightning flashed right past them.
BOOM!
A huge roar came from a mountain peak below, and then the entire peak collapsed!
Ye Yu didn't need to say it—Ruka already knew what would happen if that attack hit them.
Feeling their speed increase even more, the scenery around them flew past at incredible speed.
Ruka looked at Ye Yu's profile. A feeling she had never experienced before surged in her heart.
Though the situation looked extremely dangerous, all her fear had mysteriously disappeared.
On her face remained only an unstoppable smile.
"Ye Yu-kun, full speed ahead!"
