Chapter 23 You're Not The Only One Who Have Powers, Us Too!
"Xiao Mei!!"
Guo Zhongcheng wave furiously at Hua Meili when she passed by the hall.
Seeing him so energetic and cute, she waved back at him and quickly walked toward Guo Zhongcheng.
She really wonders what this cute little rabbit is up to now…
Wait.
Is he going to give her another tonic of poison that could literally obliterate the world?
NO!
She does not want to have a taste of his cooking again!
"Cheng ge, is something the matter?"
Hua Meili nervously looked at the excited man in front of her.
She really wonders what is up with him.
"Yup! I want you to see something!"
Guo Zhongcheng who was literally trembling from excitement directly drag her before she could even speak.
Seeing him so excited she could not help but get curious as to what the excited man is trying to show her that he even forgot about the supposed "distance" between them he made.
But being dragged around is alright as long as she does not have to taste his horrible poison-like cooking ever again!
She really respects Zhongcheng Qingren for having the guts of steel for eating his wife's cooking that could literally kill anyone!
Being the best sister that she is, she let Guo Zhongcheng drag her wherever he wants to drag her.
Even if it's a Mutant infested place she will gladly go there with him as long as her cute adorable "Shou" is happy.
Guo Zhongcheng continue dragging Hua Meili until they reached the garden where she saw Zhongcheng Qingren waiting for them.
Now, Hua Meili could not help but raise her eyebrows as the seeming paralysis man seemed to be shining brightly also.
Is she being schemed at by this two?
Did they decide that she was such a horrible she devil master of teasing the shou and decided to bury her alive?!
"Zhong ge?"
Hua Meili raised an eyebrow.
But seeing the two so happy and how excited her cute bun is, her initial thought changed about where this situation is going.
'Is Guo Zhongcheng finally pregnant? Am I going to finally be an Auntie now?! But, I'm still young!'
As some incredibly stupid thoughts and unbelievable conclusions started circulating inside her head sending her to the abyss of stupidity and deepening the pit inside her brain, Guo Zhongcheng who was behind her excitedly shake her shoulders snapping her from her thoughts.
"Eh?"
Hua Meili looked at the two back and forth with a stupid face.
"We have something to show you."
Seeing Hua Meili's stupid face, Zhongcheng Qingren's smile deepened, and signaled to Guo Zhongcheng.
Seeing his signal, Guo Zhongcheng excitedly bounce up and down and did something that elicit a gasp from her.
Guo Zhongcheng raised his hands and a gust of wind flew past Hua Meili, caressing her cheeks.
The gust of wind was not that strong but definitely, it was a wind that passed by her.
She could feel that it was no ordinary wind but a wind ability of an evolutionary human!
She looked at Guo Zhongcheng with a relieved expression.
'If that was a wind blade, I'll be dead by now.'
For the first time in forever, Hua Meili was relieved that Guo Zhoncheng was such a cute cinnamon bun.
"You can command the wind?! You're definitely a wind power evolve human!" Hua Meili exclaimed.
She is very happy for him!
"Yup, isn't it cool? I just felt something come over me when I was thinking of how hot it is and then I somehow felt that I could command the wind to blow. But, it's so weak that it could only pass as a fan."
Guo Zhongcheng pouted feeling wronged.
"But check out Zhozho's ability! It's super cool!"
Guo Zhongcheng waved at Zhongcheng Qingren to quickly display his ability to her.
And then, a ball of fire appeared in Zhongcheng Qingren's hand.
"Fire! Wow, that's powerful! You two could totally do a combo, merging your powers together then that would be very powerful and awesome!"
Hua Meili could not help but think that the ability they developed really complimented the two of them.
Wind and fire together?
Aren't you asking for trouble?
Thinking about their ability, she thought of some quirks that she might be able to let them do in the future together.
It will then be called, DOKI DOKI FIRE TORNADO POWER!!
"Yeah, I think so too! These abilities are really cool! I thought that the Apocalypse is only an Apocalypse where dangerous monsters ran rampant but I didn't think that we could also gain abilities from the change that happened in this world."
Thinking so, Guo Zhongcheng smiled happily.
"It's great that we develop these abilities, really great! With this, we don't need to fear the Mutants or any other monsters anymore….. By the way, Xiao Mei, did you develop an ability too?"
Guo Zhongcheng could not help but inquire thinking that if they develop an ability, she should too. Right?
Hearing about it, even Zhongcheng Qingren looked at her with expectations visible in his eyes.
Having an ability is really a cheat, a life-saving cheat that could help them survive this Apocalypse.
So, he really wanted her to have an ability too like them.
Seeing the expectations that brim out from their eyes, Hua Meili could not help but smile.
"Hmmm.... Is this counted as one?"
With a wave of her hand, an ice shard-like transparent glass appeared out of thin air.
As if showing them that she had the ability of ice isn't enough, she produced one more and juggle it in the air while producing more and more while juggling.
Seeing her produce ice shape objects one after another while juggling, Guo Zhongcheng and Zhongcheng Qingren's jaw drop.
"Your ability is Ice power?!" Guo Zhongcheng exclaimed in surprise.
"Yup!" Hua Meili smiled.
"So cool!!" Guo Zhongcheng said watching her juggle those ice sculptures in envy.
Having shown off enough, she retracted her ability and the ice sculptures disappeared from thin air like they were never there before.
"Hehehe.... Hey, take this."
Satisfied about herself, she tossed ten pieces of ZC to each one of them.
Since they had already successfully developed their abilities, giving them zombie crystals should benefit them.
Using the zombie crystals could strengthen their ability. The stronger they are, the better.
She must cultivate them well so that she will have stronger subordinates in the future to secure her base.
Even though she is a cheat herself, she alone could not defeat the world.
She needed allies, strong loyal allies.
Subordinates like that will be loyal to her and stand behind her no matter what happens in the future.
And these loyal subordinates would start from this two.
She must cultivate them to be better and stronger, not only to protect her but also themselves.
"What are these for?"
Looking at the little beautiful crystals in his palms, Guo Zhongcheng was curious why she gave them a bunch of girl's trinkets.
"....." Zhongcheng Qingren stared at the little gems and thought that it would be pretty lovely if he were to use them to make his lover's ring.
Seeing the incredulity in their eyes, she smiled wryly.
"These crystals are called zombie crystals which were taken from a mutant's brain by Hexi. He accidentally found this when he was killing some stray Mutants in the surroundings of the Manor."
Hua Meili quickly made a lie and lied through her teeth.
She can't tell them the truth for now.
"And accidentally, he discovered that by holding this in your hand while meditating, you could strengthen and upgrade your mutated powers."
"Y-Your giving such a precious thing to us?" Guo Zhongcheng asked with disbelief.
He could not believe that such a precious thing would be given by her so casually like the crystals were not worth a dime.
"But what about you? Did you leave some for yourself? You can have mine. You can use it first, I will gather my own. I can't possibly use this!"
"No, use mine. You need this more than me."
"No, mine! Zhozho, my ability is pretty useless. You should use it and let Xiao Mei use mine."
"No, Chenchen. I will be more…."
Watching the two bickers on who will give her their portion of crystals, Hua Meili's heart could not help but warm up.
'These two…"
She never thought that they would bicker for her over this matter. She really chose the right people.
"You two, stop fighting!"
"But…!"
"It's really alright, you both can use it. And no but, use it."
"But how about you?" Guo Zhongcheng could not help but ask.
"Me? Don't worry about me, I have my own ways. Just use it, okay?" Hua Meili smiled.
Guo Zhongcheng opened his mouth wanting to say something more but then close it again not knowing what to say.
He looked at Zhongcheng Qingren while he looks at him.
They could only sigh helplessly.
"Thank you, Xiao Mei!"
Seeing her so selfless made Guo Zhongcheng's eyes teary and then gave her a big hug.
Patting his back, she sighed watching him cry in her embrace.
Zhongcheng Qingren who watch the two also thanked her sincerely.
He really does not know what she is thinking about when she gave them the zombie crystals that could help them strengthen themselves and could only be thankful for her help.
He knew that what she has done for them is really a big sacrifice on her part.
The zombie crystals are so useful to one's cultivation but instead of harboring them for herself, she gave it to them to use.
Is this being kind or just too stupid?
Watching them so close, for the first time Guo Zhongcheng did not feel irritated by their closeness.
Anyway, she does not romantically see his ChenChen so he really does not need to get jealous.
Also, during these past few days, he can already somehow accept it that Hua Meili is Chenchen's prize little sister figure.
The jealousy had somehow curbed a little and could now already bear to see the two of them hug each other because he now treated Hua Meili as a sister too.
And now that she once again gave them another reason to trust and like her more, the feeling of closeness became more visible when she gave them the ZC, which means she also trust them.
"Don't thank me. Giving you those crystals is also for my own benefit. You two getting stronger would be better for me and also when you two get stronger you can finally get out of these closed gates and see the world again! We can't possibly stay forever cope up in this Mansion now, can we? One day, if any trouble arrives, we need to be stronger to defend against our enemies."
"Alright, I'll listen to you and go meditate now. Thank you, Xiao Mei. Don't worry I will get stronger and I will do my best to protect you!"
Guo Zhongcheng pats his chest promising her.
"So, will I, thank you, Little Meili. I won't forget the kindness you have shown us." Zhongcheng Qingren also vowed.
"Hehe... no need to be this serious and, who says I need protection? Let's see who gets stronger first then!"
Hua Meili smiled provocatively as she challenged them.
She, Hua Meili will be the first one no, will be the strongest of all the Evolve Humans and Mutants.
"No, it will be me." Guo Zhongcheng said.
"Dare not believe me? It will be me!" Hua Meili said.
"...…me." Zhongcheng Qingren
The three of them fought for a while about who will become stronger first and then laughed after seeing how childish their actions were, still a fire was lit in each of their hearts.
One day, they will become the strongest Evolutionary humans that ever existed in history!
They will create miracle after miracle as they fought their way to the future!
After having their fill of laughter and foolishness, they decided to retire for the day and the two lovebirds immediately use the ZC to meditate when they reach their 'honeymoon room'.
Hua Meili also went back to her room to get some sleep but not before telling Du Hexi and Mu Hexin to watch out for any dangers.
'Foolish Cheng ge and Zhong ge, the one who will become the strongest Evolutionary Human in history will be me.'
