Wu Jun really wanted to say, ’There’s no way your husband wouldn’t listen to you. If he didn’t, wouldn’t you just beat him to death?’
But he valued his life, so he managed to hold back from saying something so stupid.
After seeing the video Huo Qian had sent, Xue Can couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
’Is Shen Lu really not a Superpower User?’
’Or is her Superpower Level so high that he, being several levels beneath her, can’t sense her energy?’
’But if Shen Lu really has a superpower, why was she being chased all over town by a mutant beast before?’
’Wait a minute.’
’Have I been overlooking someone?’
Shen Lu doesn’t have a superpower, but Fu Cheng does.
Xue Can opened Fu Cheng’s file. It stated that he was a Dual Ability User, but most outsiders only knew he possessed a Dark Ability. His other ability wasn’t mentioned in the file.
’Is his other ability too low-level, or just too useless to be worth listing?’
A wild theory suddenly struck Xue Can, and he felt like he had uncovered the truth.
’That’s it. This must be Fu Cheng’s other, undisclosed superpower—Construction Proficiency.’
The walls of that abandoned building Shen Lu bought were inexplicably thickened last time. That must have been Fu Cheng’s handiwork as well.
No wonder Shen Lu takes such good care of him. It turns out Fu Cheng had a hand in that shop.
And those ingredients with their miraculous effects.
Xue Can’s gaze fell on the name of Fu Cheng’s mother.
Yun Yao.
’Of course.’ Yun Yao was from the Yun Family. The Yun Family possessed many mysterious powers that outsiders couldn’t comprehend. For instance, every member of their direct bloodline was guaranteed to awaken a superpower.
That alone was a terrifyingly powerful trait.
’Come to think of it, those ingredients must be connected to the Yun Family, too.’
"Damn it." Xue Can suddenly clenched his fist and punched the air.
’So that’s why Fu Cheng always acts so calm and nonchalant around me.’
’He has something that makes it impossible for Shen Lu to leave him. Even if he’s a good-for-nothing now, abandoned by the Fu Family, as long as the Yun Family still has his back, he’s still a cut above everyone else.’
But he wouldn’t give up so easily.
As long as Shen Lu didn’t say she hated him or reject him outright, it meant he still had a chance.
...
「The next day.」
The first thing Shen Lu did when she got up was check the weather. The second was to run to the living room window and peek at the newly installed greenhouse.
"It’s this high-tech?!" Shen Lu’s mouth formed an "O."
[You get what you pay for, Host! The products from our System Mall are absolutely worth the price!]
Shen Lu quickly finished getting ready and ran to the backyard to inspect the greenhouse up close.
From the pictures in the System Mall, Shen Lu had initially thought it would be like the plastic-sheet greenhouses she’d seen in her past life, just with slightly better materials and a sturdier steel frame.
But the greenhouse standing before her now was not nearly as crude as she had imagined.
The steel frame looked incredibly sturdy, giving off the impression that not even a tornado could budge it.
As for the plastic sheeting covering the frame...
No, no, no, plastic sheeting wasn’t this transparent. This was as clear as glass, but it wasn’t hard to the touch. It felt more like crystal.
The greenhouse’s insulation was excellent. The temperature outside was around 5 degrees, but inside it must have been over 10 degrees, making it very comfortable.
Xiao Lang poked his little head in. "Sister Shen, can I come in?"
"Come on in."
Xiao Lang slipped right into the greenhouse, his big eyes wide with curiosity as he looked all around.
"Sister Shen, what is this?"
