Global Floating Islands: I Have SSS Talent-Chapter 162 - 136: Beyond Help

"Especially other people’s husbands!"

She deliberately emphasized the last few words.

Beside her, Wen Xinling’s father also coughed and said, "Your mom’s right."

"He talks sweetly, claiming he treats us like his own parents, but when it comes time to really help, he starts making all sorts of excuses."

"I think he just can’t stand to see the Wen family doing well!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Wen Xinling, hearing this, also looked at Cheng Jianyong with a face full of disappointment.

Faced with their mockery, Cheng Jianyong couldn’t help but clench his fists.

At this time, Cheng Jianyong’s mother-in-law continued sarcastically, "Lingling, since he’s not willing to take us to find Wen Hao, we’ll just go ourselves."

"Your dad and mom may be old, but they can still walk a few steps."

Wen Xinling, hearing this, quickly agreed, "Okay mom, let’s go find my brother ourselves!"

With that, she bypassed Cheng Jianyong, took the hands of the two middle-aged adults, and started to run outside the territory.

At this moment, inside Cheng Jianyong’s Lord’s Cottage.

An elderly couple stood at the door, hesitant to speak, while a little girl of four, five, or six stood nearby, watching.

These were Cheng Jianyong’s biological parents, and the little girl was his daughter.

Cheng Jianyong was both angry and helpless.

In fact, with Cheng Jianyong’s current power, he could easily restrain Wen Xinling and her companions.

But after all, the woman was his wife, and the elderly couple were his in-laws, so he couldn’t use forceful means.

At this time, Wen Xinling and her parents quickly reached the edge of the territory, only to be stopped by a transparent protective shield.

Han Xing had set up a protective shield program, enveloping Cheng Jianyong’s territory as well, and without Han Xing’s permission, no one could enter or leave.

Wen Xinling had heard Cheng Jianyong mention this before, so she started shouting, demanding that Han Xing quickly open the defense shield.

"Han Xing! Han Xing! Let us out quickly!"

Wen Xinling’s shouting alarmed others within the territory as well.

Cheng Jianyong, listening, once against looked helplessly and said, "Lingling, don’t be childish."

"Listen to me, you’re not equipped to fight right now, and you’re taking your in-laws with you, you won’t survive in this world!"

However, Wen Xinling didn’t believe him at all and retorted, "I’ve already told you, Cheng Jianyong, if you don’t take my parents to find my brother, I’ll go myself!"

"Don’t think I don’t understand anything, Jiang Heng has told me, this world isn’t as scary as you make it out to be. Ordinary people can survive if they’re careful!"

Cheng Jianyong was taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, a strong anger lit up in his eyes, and he shouted, "Jiang Heng? You’re still in touch with that bastard?"

"Do you know he already has a wife and kids?"

Wen Xinling trembled at the shout, seemingly not expecting the usually obedient Cheng Jianyong to have such an outburst.

Feeling a bit wronged, she said, "You were just thinking about your own parents, without considering my side, so I... of course, I had to ask someone else!"

"Besides, Jiang Heng found me on his own, don’t be mistaken!"

Wen Xinling declared with righteousness.

However, Cheng Jianyong was boiling with anger after hearing this.

Earlier, he had settled Wen Shuling’s parents first, before attending to his own elderly parents.

Yet, in her narrative, it turned into him neglecting them entirely.

Cheng Jianyong couldn’t believe that, in this new world, he was still dealing with these trivial family matters.

He felt a pang of frustration and disappointment filled his heart.

Looking at this woman, his gaze carried a bit of disillusionment.

At this time, Han Xing and Su Xiaoyang, along with others, approached.

From Cheng Jianyong, Wen Xinling had learned that Han Xing was the owner of this territory, and only he had the authority to open the defense shield.

Wen Xinling knew Han Xing; he had even been a groomsman at her wedding.

Thus, she shouted, "Han Xing, open this shield for me. I need to take my parents to find my brother!"

On the way, Han Xing had already heard the whole story.

He glanced at Cheng Jianyong, as if asking for his decision.

Cheng Jianyong suppressed the anger in his heart, sighed, and said, "Lingling, don’t be foolish, come back with me."

"The outside world is genuinely dangerous, and now, nowhere in the world is safer than Brother Xing’s territory."

"Also, stop causing trouble for Brother Xing."

However, Wen Xinling didn’t believe it at all, and self-righteously said, "Cheng Jianyong, stop lying to me!"

"Jiang Heng has already told me that ordinary people, as long as they don’t actively touch those clouds outside, won’t be in any danger. He even offered to help if needed."

"Jiang Heng has now built a big team with hundreds of people under him, much safer than here!"

Hearing this, Cheng Jianyong’s expression turned dark.

Shen Yun, Su Xiaoyang, and Zhang Lianmeng’s faces also sank.

This woman’s foolishness exceeded everyone’s expectations...

But this was also related to her not being in this world for long.

She had no idea what Han Xing’s territory represented.

Nor did she understand the power of a thousand crossbow launchers and hundreds of flamethrower catapults.

With Jiang Heng’s facile boasting, Wen Xinling was easily misguided into a state of bewilderment.

She remained oblivious to the strange looks from others, thinking she had unmasked their lies, her eyes full of self-satisfaction.

Before Han Xing could speak.

Cheng Jianyong seemed to have concluded this woman was beyond hope.

He took the initiative and said, "Brother Xing, please open the shield."

Han Xing looked at Cheng Jianyong curiously, asking, "Are you sure?"

Everyone knew the implications of this decision.

It essentially meant sending Wen Xinling out to face the dangers of the world alone.

And based on this woman’s behavior, surviving past today seemed unlikely.

However, Cheng Jianyong had made up his mind.

He said again, "Brother Xing, open it."

Wen Xinling was visibly excited as she saw Cheng Jianyong agree: "Cheng Jianyong, you finally are showing some backbone."

Nearby, Wen Xinling’s parents discreetly gave her a thumbs-up.

Han Xing nodded.

He never sympathized with those determined on a fool’s errand.

Since Wen Xinling believed she had better options, Han Xing would oblige her.

Han Xing opened the defense shield.

Wen Xinling seemed to understand the rules of this world.

She voluntarily merged her three pieces of territory with her parents’, gaining more space.

The three boarded the Sky Island and without looking back, left Han Xing’s territory.

At this time, beside Cheng Jianyong, a well-mannered little girl tugged at his pants, softly asking, "Daddy, where’s Mommy going?"

Cheng Jianyong picked up the little girl and sighed, "Yuanyuan, from today, you have to learn to accept that your mommy might not come back."

The little girl looked at Cheng Jianyong, puzzled, but saw only sadness on his face.

After this farce.

Everyone returned to their own territories.

At this time, Wen Xinling stood on the Sky Island, contacting that person named Jiang Heng, and was overjoyed upon receiving his response.

She happily said, "Dad, mom, Jiang Heng agreed to take us to find my brother. He said we can go to him now!"

The two elders smiled with relief upon hearing this.

"Good, good, good! Jiang Heng’s a sensible kid, much better than Cheng Jianyong, sweet talker too, had his family not run into trouble back then, you wouldn’t have ended up with Cheng Jianyong as your husband."

"But it’s fortunate, you kept in touch with Jiang Heng over the years, and the kid remembered us."

Wen Xinling’s expression changed subtly, forcing a smile as she said, "Mom, what are you talking about, we only kept in occasional contact, never actually met up."

The two elder exchanged a knowing smile.

...

Just as Wen Xinling’s small three-square-meter Sky Island slowly sailed into the distance.

It was sunset.

The blood-red sunset reflected off the clouds, dyeing them a deep red.

And this phenomenon nearly covered the entire Land of the Abandoned Gods.

Survivors under this atmosphere felt as if a shadow hung over their hearts, with a sense of impending doom looming.

As the sun gradually set, the distant sky was suddenly shrouded in a shadow.

The shadow resembled a blood-colored curtain wrapping around the heavens and earth.

An ominous aura loomed.

And as time went on, more areas experienced the same phenomenon.

Many survivors instinctively lifted their heads to look at the sky.

The next moment, everyone’s pupils dilated, and their faces changed dramatically!

...
