I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Xiao Qi pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with Li Haoyi's forceful intervention.

Luo Li, who was standing nearby, heard this clearly, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes. "You mean, if she stays there a little longer, she'll have a greater chance of succeeding?"

"Uh... I don't know either..." Xiaoqi shrank her neck.

Yan Ziming lifted Xiaoqi and sat her on his black-stockinged lap, stroking her soft hair, and asked with concern:

"Xiao Qi, is there anything that's bothering you?"

She was afraid that Xiao Qi's superpower was the kind of risky thing that could bring either glory or loss, and that it wouldn't be worth it if she ended up sacrificing herself to save someone else.

"Emm..." Xiao Qi clutched her stomach in a wronged manner. Yan Ziming's expression changed upon seeing this. Could she really be feeling unwell?

I'm hungry...

"..."

"Since there's nothing else, let's stop here for now. We weren't called here just to take a look. Let's all share our opinions, starting with Zhiruo."

Luo Li clapped her hands, pointed to Zhi Ruo, and let her speak first.

"Hey—!" Caught off guard by Luo Li's pointing, Zhi Ruo exclaimed, unsure of where to begin.

"What do you mean 'hey'? Just compare your own situation with your feelings."

Luo Li slapped Zhi Ruo's shapely buttocks hard. His attitude was extremely forceful, which frightened Zhi Ruo into not daring to utter a sound.

Only at this moment did everyone realize that this little girl was the country's chief healer.

Zhiruo covered her little bottom, looking aggrieved. She thought for a long time but couldn't utter a single word. Finally, she closed her eyes in despair, her face turning bright red.

"No, I don't know..."

A reply as soft as a fly's whisper.

"Sigh—" Luo Li sighed in disappointment.

"Little Seven only tried it once, so I can't see much..."

Zhi Ruo nestled against You Lan, seeking comfort. You Lan embraced her slender waist, soothing her and showering everyone present with a display of affection.

Luo Li is already three... a legal loli, but she's still never been in a relationship. She's furious, pointing at Youlan and shouting:

"You! Yes, yes. I'm talking about you! You're her lover, what's your opinion?"

"I!?"

Youlan pointed to herself, not understanding why this little girl was taking her anger out on her, but still offered her opinion:

"Similar to Zhiruo's situation... right? The energy fluctuations are completely different from those of ordinary ability users, but it's too obscure; we can only discern this much."

"That's it? That's it?! This is useless—!"

Before Luo Li could finish speaking, Yan Ziming pinched her cheek hard and smiled apologetically at Zhi Ruo Youlan, "Sorry, this girl has never had a good temper. I'll find someone to teach her a lesson when we get back."

"!!!"

Upon hearing these words, Luo Li immediately stopped struggling and quietly let Yan Zimo rub her face like a porcelain doll. The contrast between her before and after left everyone, including Jiang Lan, speechless.

What did she do to make this headstrong little girl so obedient?

Could you teach me later?

Yan Ziming continued, "Like Youlan, I can't see much. Next... Lanlan, you tell us."

“...Me too.” Jiang Lan raised her hand in shame.

Bai He expressed the same opinion: "My view is the same as yesterday, I can't see it very clearly."

Of those present, only Liu Mengxian remained silent about her opinion.

All eyes were on her, but no one spoke, as if they were waiting for something.

They were waiting for Yan Zimo.

Since she's the only one familiar with Liu Mengxian, she should be the one to ask about this; it's inappropriate for others to do it.

Yan Ziming understood this, so he asked, "Xian'er, what did you see?"

At this moment, everyone present except Yan Zimo held their breath, anticipating the answer from this legendary figure.

After a moment of silence, Liu Mengxian replied without any emotional fluctuation, "Perhaps, as you said."

"???"

Everyone, including Yan Ziming, had a big question mark on their heads.

Only Bai He, who was at the very back, noticed Liu Mengxian's gaze falling on her through the mist. She smiled silently and returned to normal in the next instant.

"No, Xian'er, what are you talking about?"

Yan Ziming couldn't help but take a step closer, but he missed a step. Suddenly, the mist enveloped everything. When he came to his senses, he found himself lying in a warm embrace.

She looked up in surprise, and what came into view was Liu Mengxian's stunningly beautiful face.

The two were so close, close enough to feel each other's breath, so close... it felt as if just a little more and their lips would touch...

Yan Ziming's face flushed red instantly, and she blurted out something, but her cherry lips were gently covered by a slender finger.

Those slender, jade-like fingers seemed to possess a magical power, and Yan Ziming obediently stopped talking.

Liu Mengxian looked at her very seriously, "If I don't tell you, will you be angry with me?"

Yan Ziming was taken aback at first, then smiled and answered firmly, "No."

"Then you may keep my answer to yourself."

Upon receiving this answer, Liu Mengxian's cheeks flushed, her cherry lips parted slightly, and her phoenix eyes seemed to radiate a captivating allure.

Caught off guard, Yan Ziming was momentarily stunned by her gaze. He quickly regained his senses, muttering "a vixen" to himself, and dared not meet Liu Mengxian's eyes again.

The next second, the fog dissipated, and everyone was confused about what had just happened, but after seeing Yan Ziming's 'eye hint', they all chose to remain silent.

"There's some movement!"

Youlan's expression suddenly changed, and she pointed to the transparent wall from before, which everyone then looked at.

Under Li Haoyi's watchful eye, Cheng Xue was gradually enveloped in a layer of light, eventually forming a white cocoon that floated halfway in the air.

"It's...it's done!?"

Luo Li excitedly patted Zhi Ruo's pert buttocks, and the latter immediately nestled in her lover's arms, seeking comfort.

Jiang Lan analyzed logically and with evidence: "Based on past cases, this should be the case."

"Xiaoqi, you did it!"

Yan Ziming picked up Xiao Qi and lifted her high, then spun her around once. But Xiao Qi wasn't happy at all; instead, she puffed out her cheeks and glared at her angrily.

Xiao Qi angrily slapped Yan Ziming's hand, "Put me down! I'm not a child!"

So that's where the anger is...

After putting Xiao Qi down, Yan Ziming was about to say something when Luo Li spoke up first, "Xiao Qi, tell me, how much energy have you had?"

"Ok?"

Everyone's expression froze for a moment, then they seemed to remember something and suddenly realized what was going on.

Yes, how could they have completely overlooked such a crucial issue?

Chapter 80 The Distance of the Truth

Are the combat abilities of superhumans inexhaustible?

Of course not. Apart from a few isolated cases, sustainability has become the fundamental problem for people with superpowers.

For example, in the past, Yan Zimo would use up at least 30% of her energy to cast a single "Radiant Mortal World" spell, and she would run out of energy after casting one or two more.

However, this simple question proved to be a problem for Xiaoqi.

Before this, she was not a superhuman, so she did not understand this concept, or rather, she understood it but did not understand how it manifested in herself.

"We've arranged for four people with mutation symptoms today, and Cheng Xue is just one of them. Regardless of whether Cheng Xue succeeds or not, we'll continue. Now, let me ask you, how much energy have you expended after the experiment just now?"

Luo Li solemnly raised four fingers.

The amount of energy consumed by Xiao Qi determines how many mutated individuals can be treated throughout China, which is crucial.

Thinking about it on her own was pointless, so Xiaoqi had no choice but to tell the truth: "I'm not quite sure..."

Luo Li frowned and added, "It's just... do you feel very tired, mentally exhausted?"

"Emm......."

After thinking for a while, Xiaoqi crossed her arms in front of her in a very cute way, indicating that she didn't.

However, the expressions on everyone's faces were not much better.

Just because you don't feel anything doesn't mean there's no consumption. Mystic abilities can't be judged by ordinary standards, so losing a mystic ability user due to carelessness would be heartbreaking for them.

Jiang Lan suggested, "Let's ask the two people who are most qualified to speak on this."

As she spoke, she stepped aside to let Zhiruo and Baihe behind her pass.

"Eh?"
