Everyone huddled close with their bowls in hand.
Outside, the storm was rampant; branches danced menacingly in midair, and the dust-covered ground made it nearly impossible to discern directions.
These people, who had lived in the Capital for years, had only ever experienced some sandstorms before—this was their first encounter with such a severe storm.
Faced with the oppression of the natural disaster, a hint of panic flashed in nearly everyone’s eyes.
Jiang Yan even felt a sense of crisis, "Damn, with such heavy rain, are we going to drown?"
Shang Shuyue, however, seemed pensive as she looked out the window, then turned back to Jiang Li.
"Did you know about the storm beforehand?"
The production crew had already driven the drones into their house; now, they were clearly capturing Jiang Li’s calm demeanor on camera.
She nodded unhurriedly, "Yes, I sensed there would be a storm when we were on the lake."
Discerning the weather is a basic skill for Feng Shui masters and naturally was no problem for her.
Thus, even if there was no Cat and Mouse Game, she would have brought them to shore earlier.
Building the log cabin was also for this purpose.
The production crew’s tents were simply not enough to handle such a severe storm; even with reinforcements, they were precarious. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
A seismically rated log cabin was much safer to stay in.
Right then, the viewers who learned the truth in the live broadcast were all dumbfounded.
[Predicting the future??? Jiang Li is too amazing!]
[Damn, isn’t this better than the meteorological station?!]
[I heard from one of my relatives that sometimes the meteorological station invites some mysticism masters to make predictions, like for major disasters which sometimes can’t be detected by instruments, but these capable people can calculate them.]
[I was originally a militant materialist, but now I am shaken.]
[Master Jiang is too awesome, is it too late for me to follow her now?]
[It’s not too late; believe it or not, ever since I became her fan, my luck has improved a lot. I even won a thousand dollars in the lottery last time!]
Upon hearing this, everyone was both shocked and amazed and were completely won over by Jiang Li; then they peacefully continued eating beside the stove.
Shang Shuyue, however, noticed Zhao Lang next to her and curiously said, "Mr. Gu, aren’t you surprised at all?"
She remembered that the first time she witnessed Jiang Li’s capabilities, she was so astonished that her mouth hung open for a long time.
Zhao Lang blinked, leisurely finished chewing the food in his mouth, and then looked at Shang Shuyue, "How so? Didn’t you see that I am so shocked I became expressionless?"
After finishing, Zhao Lang naturally turned his head away.
In reality, the capabilities Jiang Li had shown him before dwarfed this; that girl even dared to blow up the evil town, what’s predicting the weather in comparison?
Several people stood outside the window reflecting for a while, but Jiang Li’s next move stunned them again.
She pulled a large iron block from a box filled with all sorts of items and, after manipulating it, threw it outside. With a "snap", the whole room lit up.
Seeing the big light bulb hanging from the ceiling, everyone’s mouths fell open again.
Bai Lu: "Fuck, Lili, do you really know magic?"
"That’s a generator."
"Not bad," Jiang Li clapped his hands. "This wind turbine is what I exchanged for yesterday. Although the price was a bit high, it can ensure our electricity needs for so many days."
Speaking, she pulled out an induction cooker, a heater, a kettle, and a series of gadgets from the box.
Bai Lu completely convinced, gave a thumbs up.
"I always said giving the points to Lili was the right decision."
Jiang Yan was quick to follow up with a remark. "Of course, what kind of person is my sister? An immortal descending to earth!"
[Amazing, Jiang Li, isn’t this just like Doraemon!]
[I previously thought she was wasting points, so how did she manage to exchange twenty thousand points for so many items?!]
[Wuuu wuuu, Lili is really reliable. With her around, even if it’s the apocalypse, there’s nothing to fear.]
[Lili darling, can I marry you? I have a plump rear and I can bear sons, ten won’t be a problem!]
At that moment, watching the girl seated among them, calm as still water, Pei Ye leaned toward Zhao Lang and whispered:
"Young Master, I finally understand why you specially flew back from England to find Miss Jiang."
Zhao Lang curled his lip into a smile, "Of course, the woman I take interest in is outstanding."
Pei Ye nodded in agreement, "Indeed, so outstanding that even you might not be a match."
A fierce wind raged over Dragon Ridge Lake.
The originally tranquil and azure lake had now completely changed its appearance, the waters turning ink-black, as if about to churn out thousand-layered waves.
In the shallow area close to the shore, the boat carrying Shang Shaojing and his team floated like a pitiful fallen leaf, bobbing up and down on the waves.
The faces of the three people were completely drained of color as they tried their utmost to keep the boat steady.
"Ren Yue, head to the stern, put some more effort!" Shang Shaojing nearly roared.
Ren Yue was miserable, "Captain, I’m nearly out of strength. Should we call for rescue? With such a huge storm, something could really happen!"
"No!" Shang Shaojing directly refused, gritting his teeth, "We’re almost ashore. You have to hold on!"
Seeing the endless fog ahead, Su Yinwan finally broke down and quietly started crying.
She had experienced so many different worlds; most days she simply existed in front of the male and female leads, and the rest of the time, she did whatever she wanted, hardly ever stepping foot in such a godforsaken place, let alone facing such a terrifying storm.
Was the path to becoming a heroine destined to be so fraught with obstacles?
The ordeal of these few people made the live stream viewers click their tongues. The number of viewers was escalating rapidly, even about to surpass that of Jiang Li and her group.
[President Shang and his team are still holding on while the other team has already called for rescue.]
[Damn, they’re truly pushing the limit. That boat looks like it’s going to capsize any moment.]
[Speechless, what kind of showoff men, still trying to act tough at this time!]
[Why isn’t anyone scolding Su Yinwan? All she does is cry when things get tough; after all this, still playing the innocent?]
[I want to see how long they can last!]
Just as this comment appeared, with a loud crash, the wooden boat completely broke apart, and following a piercing scream, the three people plunged into the water.
Meanwhile, in the small wooden cabin illuminated with warm yellow light, several people had just finished enjoying a steaming hot pot. At that moment, they were cleaning up while humming a song, as content as could be.
Except for Jiang Cheng.
