Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

111: So this is my real superpower?Impossible! Gu Xiheng frowned as he thought about it the whole way back, still feeling it was impossible for him to fall for her!

The only reason for all this was that Ai Yue herself was outstanding enough, a rare talent for the base. Coupled with how mysterious she was, she was like a treasure drawing people to explore, which was why he treated her differently.

It definitely wasn’t because of feelings.

He knew well that in prosperous times, he might have carefully considered matters of the heart, but now, in this Apocalypse where one could die at any moment, what right did he have to talk about feelings?

Having firmed up his thoughts, Gu Xiheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more and more that this was indeed the case.

Having put down the heavy stone in his heart and believing he had figured things out, Gu Xiheng began to deal with the base’s mess with a light heart... Back at home, Ai Yue and the others carefully helped her sit down in a chair.

”Yueyue, do you feel unwell anywhere else?” Li Shilan looked at Ai Yue with heartache, while the other two also watched her with concern.

Ai Yue smiled calmly. ”Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine. On the contrary, heh... you could say it’s a blessing in disguise. Look!”

The others were confused and stared at Ai Yue in unison.

Ai Yue flipped her hand, and a golden flame appeared in her palm.

”This... what’s going on?” The others widened their eyes in disbelief and murmured.

Ai Yue didn’t speak but smiled triumphantly. She turned her hand over and opened it again, and a cyclone swirled in her palm.

Everyone’s mouths hung open in even greater surprise.

But it wasn’t over yet.

Then Ai Yue demonstrated other abilities: Ice Blade, invisibility, purification, isolation, sound transmission, magnetism, water control, earth tunneling, and over a dozen other powers.

Li Shilan and the others were already stunned.

”Mom, look...”

Without hesitation, Ai Yue made a cut on her arm. A large wound appeared, and blood gushed out.

”Yueyue, what are you doing?”

”Sister!”

Several voices called out in anxiety.

Li Shilan immediately prepared to release her green light to brush over Ai Yue’s wound.

But she was stopped by Ai Yue.

”Don’t worry, look!” Ai Yue calmly brushed over her own wound.

Something miraculous happened; her wound was actually completely healed, as if it had never been there.

”Yue...” Li Shilan stared blankly at Ai Yue, speechless.

Could it be...? Meeting their incredulous gazes, Ai Yue raised her hand and emitted a green light, identical to Li Shilan’s.

”Sister, what’s going on? How did you suddenly awaken so many Superpowers?” Ye Rui asked in confusion.

Ai Yue didn’t keep them in suspense. ”I think I hadn’t awakened my true ability before. Today was just a lucky accident.”

”Then you’ve awakened quite a lot of Superpowers. So many... it’s just incredible,” Ye Rui said, still looking shocked.

”Hehe, the abilities you just saw aren’t what I awakened.”

”Huh?”

”The Superpower I awakened is Devour and Convert,” Ai Yue said nonchalantly.

”Devour and Convert? What kind of ability is that?”

The others had looks of confusion, not quite understanding the meaning of those words.

Ai Yue explained in detail, ”As the names suggest, Devour means that any Superpower hitting my body will be absorbed by me without causing any harm.”

”As for Convert, it means all those absorbed Superpowers will be converted for my own use.”

”Do you mean that if someone attacks you with a Superpower, you won’t get hurt, you’ll absorb it, and then you can use that same Superpower yourself?” Ye Rui summarized blankly.

”Exactly. A hundred percent!”

”Wow!” Ye Rui was deeply shaken and couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

Sister has basically become an immortal!

Ai Guosheng and his wife were also stunned speechless.

”Sister, all those Superpowers you showed just now were the ones Gu Xiheng and the others used on you?”

”That’s right.”

”Will they disappear?”

”No. As long as a Superpower is absorbed by me, it’s mine forever!”

”Then... then you’ll never be hurt by a Superpower again?” Ye Rui continued to ask in a daze.

Ai Yue gave a playful smile. ”In theory, yes!”

”Wow, Sister, you’re a big shot! You’re definitely a big shot! I want to stay with the big shot forever. Sister, you mustn’t abandon me!” Ye Rui buried her head in Ai Yue’s lap and spoke exaggeratedly.

With her antics, the heavy and shocked atmosphere was broken, and the mood instantly lightened.

”My daughter is incredible!” Ai Guosheng grew more excited the more he thought about it. Such a powerful person was his own precious daughter; the pride he felt was beyond words.

”Sister, can you also absorb our abilities?” Ye Rui asked Ai Yue with starry eyes.

”Mm-hmm!”

”Then try absorbing mine?”

”Sure.”

Ye Rui cautiously emitted a small arc of electricity from her fingertip, carefully striking Ai Yue’s outstretched hand.

In an instant, the arc vanished. After a moment, Ai Yue raised her hand, and a blue lightning bolt as thick as a finger danced in her palm.

”Wow, it really works! Sister, your conversion is amazing. You only absorbed a tiny bit of mine, but you can release such a thick bolt of lightning. You’re incredible!” Ye Rui exclaimed.

”Try mine.” Ai Guosheng was eager to try.

Li Shilan immediately stopped him. ”Try what? What if you hurt Yueyue? Your Superpower is too dangerous. No!”

”It’s fine, Mom! I have to test whether I can Devour and Convert a dangerous Superpower like Dad’s.”

”This...” Li Shilan hesitated.

”Yueyue is right, we have to try. Don’t worry, I’ll only release a tiny bit of energy. It won’t be life-threatening; at most, she’d lose a finger,” Ai Guosheng said.

”What are you saying? Yueyue shouldn’t lose even a single strand of hair!” Li Shilan rolled her eyes at him and gave him a punch.

”Yes, yes, I won’t let her lose a single strand of hair,” Ai Guosheng quickly pleaded for mercy.

Ai Guosheng carefully released a surge of invisible energy, striking Ai Yue’s pinky finger.

Fortunately, what they feared didn’t happen; Ai Yue’s pinky was perfectly fine.

Ai Yue smiled and waved her hand. A water cup on the table turned into flying ash along with her movement.

”It worked!” Ye Rui said joyfully.

The whole family was delighted. This meant that regarding Superpowers, Ai Yue wouldn’t be harmed and would only grow stronger and stronger.

Perhaps it was because their family had absorbed enough energy stones, or because the black stones found by Da Wang were even more mysterious, but their Superpowers showed no signs of depletion; as long as they had physical stamina, their Superpowers remained.

Suddenly, Li Shilan seemed to think of something. Her expression changed, and she said worriedly, ”Yueyue, it’s naturally a good thing that you’re so powerful, but if others with ulterior motives find out, won’t you become a target for everyone?

”What if they try to harm you on the grounds that your ability is too heaven-defying? I can tell that Cheng Siyu is no good.”
