Chapter 1117: Chapter 1116: Huang Xiumin’s Worldview Shattered
Lin Wanxin was very tired, feeling completely not in sync with Huang Xiumin.
"So... that Shen Ying, does she have special powers too?"
Huang Xiumin felt she had discovered the truth and couldn’t help but snort coldly, "No wonder, she’s so proud and doesn’t take me seriously!"
Saying this, Huang Xiumin seriously advised Lin Wan again, "Your man is indeed exceptional, I feel that Shen Ying’s acting might be a bit too real. Don’t be too nonchalant about it.
I’m telling you, if you don’t take it seriously, you might come home one day to find the two of them cuddling in bed!"
"I really have to thank you!" Lin Wan sighed, thinking, why wait until I come home, they’re practically doing it right before my eyes...
Huang Xiumin frowned, "You’re that confident?"
"No, I’m not confident." Lin Wan shook her head and said.
"Then what is it?"
"It’s that they’re already cuddling together."
Huang Xiumin: ╭(°A°`)╮
"Already cuddling... together?"
The first two words from Huang Xiumin were a bit loud, attracting some looks, making her instinctively lower her voice, "Are you joking?"
Huang Xiumin felt her brain wasn’t keeping up.
Initially, she thought Lu Zheng had fallen for someone else and Lin Wan was stepping back for love, which made her angry and disappointed.
Later, when Ma Ling visited, Huang Xiumin thought it was just a task for Lu Zheng and Lin Wan, but she did suspect Shen Ying’s acting had become real, worrying about Lin Wan.
But now Lin Wan not only told her she had special powers, she even bluntly said Lu Zheng and Shen Ying were already together?
"So what’s going on with you all, exactly?"
Huang Xiumin was a bit confused, "You have special powers, yet you’re so timid?"
"What special powers?" Lin Wan couldn’t help but pat her forehead, "This is not special powers!"
"Then what is it?"
"Did you forget who contacted you?"
"Ma Ling?"
"Which department does he work for?"
"The Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room?"
"Don’t you have any thoughts on that?"
"What thoughts could I have, the domestic secret departments always have such vague and bewildering names, don’t they?" Huang Xiumin shrugged, "Surely your special power isn’t some ancient cultivation techn..."
Huang Xiumin paused as she said this, looking at Lin Wan with a hint of doubt and surprise, "No way?"
Lin Wan smirked, raising an eyebrow, "Why not?"
"Because that’s all fake! No matter how great Daoist Chen’s lightweight skill is, he can’t fly, right?" Huang Xiumin said incredulously, "And there’s never been a real immortal event in the history of Hua Country!"
Lin Wan shrugged and pointed to herself, "You’ve seen it now."
Huang Xiumin was still in disbelief, "You’re joking with me, right? In the scientific world, where would cultivation come from?"
"Then how do you explain this?" Lin Wan picked up her bag, faced Huang Xiumin, and squeezed it with both hands.
"Swish!"
The bag disappeared instantly.
Lin Wan slowed down a bit, and Huang Xiumin could see the afterimage of the bag, shrinking before disappearing on the surface of the jade bracelet.
"Hiss!"
Huang Xiumin couldn’t help but take a deep breath, staring at the cloud pattern jade bracelet on Lin Wan’s wrist, incredulously asking, "Space equipment? Is this real?"
Lin Wan didn’t answer, instead, she proudly asked, "What else do you want to see?"
Huang Xiumin was both surprised and delighted, making a request, "Since you say you’re cultivating, can you fly? Take me for a flight, isn’t cloud riding and mist driving, or sword flight a basic skill of a cultivator?"
Lin Wan couldn’t help but grimace, that’s supposed to be basic skill? Cloud riding and mist driving, sword flight, are advanced skills even in the Great Jing!
Lin Wan twitched her mouth corners, saying helplessly, "I’m not strong enough to fly yet."
"What? You all can actually fly?"
Huang Xiumin was taken aback, suddenly feeling insightful enough to ask, "Can Shen Ying fly?"
Lin Wan’s eye twitched as she sighed and nodded helplessly, "Yes."
Huang Xiumin had a very peculiar look, Lin Wan squinted her eyes, "What’re you looking at?"
Huang Xiumin chuckled, "What’s it to you if I’m looking?"
Lin Wan took a deep breath, then calmed herself, smiling with a crooked mouth, "Laugh, keep laughing, if you keep laughing, the benefits I prepared for you will go to someone else."
Huang Xiumin’s smile instantly disappeared.
"Laugh! Laugh then!"
Lin Wan took out the bag again and put it aside, "Go on, keep laughing?"
"Lin Wan, what kind of relationship do we have? I won’t laugh at you ever!"
Huang Xiumin said with a serious face, full of sincerity, "We’re battle companions who were recruited into the city bureau together and lived in the same dormitory, we’re close enough to take a bullet for each other!"
Lin Wan leisurely sipped her coffee, "Oh, is that so?"
"Yes!" Huang Xiumin’s eyes gleamed, "You don’t even know, when I saw Lu Zheng holding Shen Ying’s hand, I was furious! If it weren’t for the crowd, I would have knocked that woman over just to vent for you!"
Lin Wan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Lu Zheng was right there, doing that would be asking for trouble, right?
"Alright, alright! I know you care for me." Lin Wan said with a smirk.
Huang Xiumin investigated Shen Ying privately, not for Lin Wan’s sake, but for her own.
"Indeed, we are close enough to share a skirt!" Huang Xiumin laughed cheekily, "As long as I have something to eat, you won’t go hungry!"
"Alright, alright, enough already, it’s getting too much, who’s sharing a skirt with you."
Lin Wan pushed Huang Xiumin aside, then Huang Xiumin scooted closer again, her eyes filled with excitement and a bit of apprehension, "What exactly is... going on with you all?"
Lin Wan thought for a moment, then said, "Knowing the exact details won’t help you much, basically, we’re very powerful, capable of using cultivation techniques similar to those in cultivation novels."
Huang Xiumin’s face was filled with disbelief and shock, yet she couldn’t help but believe it.
If the coffee transformation and spoon’s levitation could be vaguely explained, Lin Wan’s act of collecting the handbag was beyond explanation.
"Who would’ve thought, in the modern world, cultivation is possible?" Huang Xiumin sighed, "The country hides it so well!"
"Oh, right." Huang Xiumin’s eyes sparkled, "Since our country has cultivators, what about other countries? Do they have magic, werewolves, vampires, genetic warriors, and the like?"
"No." Lin Wan shook her head.
Huang Xiumin looked peculiarly, "No way? Are we that strong? Or..."
"No, you misunderstood, it’s not that our country has cultivators. It’s just that Lu Zheng, me, and Shen Ying are unique."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, apart from us, there are no other cultivators in the entire country."
Huang Xiumin: ???
"Then the Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room..."
"If I’m not mistaken, this department was likely established specifically for us." Lin Wan said, waving her hand, "This is all I can tell you, this is all my mother knows as well."
"Alright then..." Huang Xiumin seemed unsatisfied, then leaned over again, "Hehe... you mentioned earlier that you have benefits for me?"
Lin Wan nodded, "It wasn’t convenient to reveal before, but now that the higher-ups know, there’s much less scruple."
Huang Xiumin’s eyes flashed, hearing quite a bit from Lin Wan’s words.
"Would you like to grow younger like Zhao Xiaodao, or defend your title with one move like Zhang Weili?"
Huang Xiumin nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining brightly.
"I do!"
