Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

148: Wow, she’s so amazing!Ai Yue no longer hesitated. She flashed out from the crowd, and with a thought, a massive Lightning Orb formed between her palms. Using her wind Superpower, she flew into the air with the orb and dropped her hand.

The entire orb suddenly expanded by a kilometer, encompassing all the nearby Devil Frogs. With a crackling sound and a flash of dazzling light, lightning bolts as thick as a bowl’s rim struck every single Devil Frog with precision.

A scent of charred meat wafted through the air.

Ai Yue did not stop. With a wave of her hands, she activated the Annihilation Superpower she had inherited from her father.

Wherever her power swept, the Devil Frogs instantly turned to ash, disappearing as the wind blew.

In just a short moment, the swarm of Devil Frogs vanished, leaving only a dozen or so on the outermost edge standing dazed in place.

Gu Xiheng and the others watched this incredible scene with their mouths agape in shock. They hadn’t expected the swarm of Devil Frogs to be solved by Ai Yue’s efforts alone.

Gu Xiheng’s internal thoughts pounded against his brain.

”When did she become so powerful?”

”Is this still the Ai Yue he knows?”

”Could it be that Ai Yue has always been this powerful, but she just never showed it in front of them?”

”Has she been guarding against them all along? Her parents weren’t the most powerful ones; she is the truly formidable one?”

”She’s so good at hiding things... She never treated them as friends at all...”

Not to mention how shocked Gu Xiheng was, even Ai Yue herself was quite stunned. She hadn’t expected her Superpowers to be so powerful when she went all out.

”Wow, I’m so awesome,” Ai Yue muttered to herself, speaking her mind.

While everyone was still in a state of shock and hadn’t come to their senses, Ai Yue, with a bloodthirsty smile on her lips, closed in on Gu Xitian.

She grabbed her and pulled her away before Gu Xiheng could react.

Gu Xitian was terrified by Ai Yue’s sudden move and screamed, ”Ah... Brother, save me!”

Ai Yue gave her a direct slap. ”Quiet! If you make another sound, I’ll cut out your tongue!”

Gu Xitian’s eyes went wide, filled with terror. She clapped a hand over her mouth, sobbing and trying her best not to make a sound.

”You just slandered me, saying I was the one who lured this group of Devil Frogs here?” Ai Yue pulled a military knife from her waist and dragged the back of the blade across Gu Xitian’s face, stroke by stroke.

The cold sensation made Gu Xitian tremble in fear as she slightly shook her head.

”Ai Yue, don’t do this. Let’s talk things through. Let go of Xitian,” Gu Xiheng said, unable to bear seeing his sister’s terrified look.

He also knew his sister had provoked Ai Yue time and again; she was in the wrong and deserved a lesson, but she was his twin sister after all.

Ai Yue glanced at Gu Xiheng and smiled. ”Young General, don’t be in such a hurry. I’m just having a heart-to-heart with your sister.”

”Wuu... Brother, save me!” Gu Xitian said with a trembling voice.

”Now you know how to be afraid? Weren’t you quite arrogant when you provoked me those other times? I’m asking you, did I lure these Devil Frogs here?”

”No, no!”

”Am I a bitch?”

”No, no!”

”Who is the bitch?”

”Wuu... I am!”

”Will you dare to be mouthy next time you see me?” Ai Yue held the knife, the tip hovering a centimeter from Gu Xitian’s eye, its cold glint constantly stimulating Gu Xitian’s fragile heart.

”Ai Yue!” Gu Xiheng wanted to step forward to snatch the knife from Ai Yue’s hand and save his sister.

”You’d better stay right where you are. Otherwise, I might not be able to control the knife in my hand!” Ai Yue said with a smile, noticing his small movement.

”Ai Yue! Don’t be like this. Hand her over to me, and I promise she’ll never provoke you again! It’s such a small matter, there’s no need to use a knife!” Gu Xiheng said helplessly.

”It’s not a small matter to me!” Ai Yue stopped looking at Gu Xiheng, scoffing at his words.

”You haven’t answered my question yet,” Ai Yue said, staring coldly at Gu Xitian.

At this moment, Gu Xitian felt like she was about to stop breathing. She struggled to open her mouth: ”No, I won’t, never again!”

”You’d better remember what you said today. Next time you dare to be disrespectful, my knife won’t have eyes. If I accidentally cut you somewhere, I won’t be able to control it. So remember, stay far away from me in the future!”

The knife in Ai Yue’s hand lowered another five millimeters. Gu Xitian felt that if she dared to close her eyes, her eyelids would surely be sliced open.

Her eyes were wide open, she didn’t dare move or blink. Even though her eyes were so dry they were tearing up, she didn’t dare close them.

”I remember, I really remember. If I see you in the future, I’ll definitely stay far, far away.”

She felt it—she felt that overwhelming murderous intent coming from Ai Yue. She knew Ai Yue was serious; if there was a next time, Ai Yue really would kill her.

”Remember this feeling of fear. Next time, no one will be able to protect you!” Ai Yue whispered in her ear.

Gu Xitian nodded repeatedly while sobbing.

”I’ll give you a small lesson this time as a punishment!”

After Ai Yue finished speaking, she grabbed Gu Xitian’s hair and, with a ”swish,” sliced off a handful of hair right against her scalp.

Feeling the cold blade fly past her scalp, Gu Xitian was so terrified that the hair on her body stood on end, and she didn’t dare to move.

Ai Yue stuffed the hair into Gu Xitian’s hand and said gently, ”Alright, you can go back to your brother and cry now. If you want to find someone to take revenge, I’ll be waiting anytime! But by then, I don’t know if you’ll still have the chance to call your brother for help! Get lost!”

After Ai Yue finished speaking, she released her grip on her.

Gu Xitian’s hand trembled as she touched the bald patch on her scalp. She finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and, with a loud wail, ran quickly toward her brother and began to sob uncontrollably.

”Ai Yue, this time, you really went a bit too far!” Gu Xiheng hugged his miserably crying sister and glared at Ai Yue in anger.

”Gu Xiheng, it’s for your sake that I’ve been showing mercy to your sister and Cheng Siyu. If we weren’t somewhat friends, do you think I would have just used this method to scare her? I would have solved it with a single blade long ago. Why would I allow her to insult me time and again?”

Ai Yue glared at Gu Xiheng and stopped arguing with him. After speaking, she turned to leave.

”Hey, hey, Sister Ai Yue, don’t go! Wait for me, let’s go together!” Gong Qiumu, having finished watching the drama with great interest, immediately chased after her when he saw Ai Yue leaving.

”Miss Ai Yue, please wait!” Gong Qiuqiu blocked Ai Yue’s path, her eyes shining brightly.

Being able to wipe out a swarm of Devil Frogs on her own—such a badass person must be befriended. It would be best if she could join their Safety Tower.

”Miss Ai Yue, you don’t have a place to stay yet, do you? With your skills, you deserve the best treatment. If you don’t mind, I’ll arrange a place for you. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied, how about it?” Gong Qiuqiu said with a warm expression.
