Chapter 88: Murong Xue Felt Another Minor Shock.

“I don’t know either.”

Murong Xue shook her head and explained, “Spatial superpowers are extremely rare; even though I spent more than half a year in the apocalypse during my previous life, I only heard of 2 or 3 users, and none of them were strong, certainly nowhere near as disgustingly powerful as you.”

“As for upgrade methods, I’ve never heard of any.”

“But I’m sure leveling a spatial superpower is especially hard, because its potency completely eclipses other superpowers.”

Only after experiencing it firsthand could one grasp how unbeatable Shen Yi’s Teleportation was!

Its destructive power might not be high, yet its overall strength was anything but low.

Even if each teleportation contained a brief pause, the gap was under 1 second… how many people could seize it?

Hearing Murong Xue’s answer, Shen Yi immediately felt a sense of regret.

Although his Teleportation was strong for now, if it remained stuck at level 1 its strength would gradually fall behind the times.

He could only pin his hopes on the System’s rewards and see whether he could unlock a Teleportation fruit.

As for leveling up by squeezing his own limits, Shen Yi had no desire to try.

If he slipped up, the losses would outweigh the gains.

However, Shen Yi did latch onto one point: “You only lived for half a year in your previous life?”

“It was more than half a year! Besides, surviving even half a year was incredible!”

Murong Xue stressed the point and argued, “Shancheng originally had over 30 million people, yet after 6 months fewer than 4 million were left; that shows how brutal the apocalypse was!”

“Do you think an army rescue will come in the future?”

“No! Nothing at all!”

“Every survivor in Shancheng had to rely on themselves to live!”

At this point her expression turned solemn, and she added, “Besides, there is a terrifying mutant giant tree in Shancheng!”

“In a little over 6 months it will devour the entire city!”

“That catastrophe is the reason I died.”

“Otherwise, no matter how bad the conditions, I could have survived another 3 to 5 years!”

Listening to her, Shen Yi raised an eyebrow.

So it was that tree again.

Sure enough, it was an enormous threat…

“So you never left Shancheng in your past life, and the spatial superpower users you heard of were all inside Shancheng?” Shen Yi asked.

“Yes; although there will eventually be ways to communicate with other cities, the process is inconvenient, so large cities hardly interact, and I don’t know much about the others.”

The subtext of her words was that she did know some information, if not much.

Don’t treat me like trash!

Shen Yi nodded slightly, then asked in puzzlement, “Since you know the tree will swallow Shancheng in the future, why not leave early?”

Could Murong Xue have some method to fight the mutant tree?

Or could she avoid the destruction somehow?

“I don’t know the situation in other cities; if I go early and run into even stronger mutant creatures, it will be an even bigger headache.”

It wasn’t that Murong Xue hadn’t considered relocating ahead of time.

She had simply rejected the idea very quickly.

After all, Shancheng was the city where she had spent most of her previous life.

She knew the spawning spots of many mutant monsters and could avoid them with ease.

She also roughly remembered the locations of several superpower fruits.

As long as she secured those superpower fruits, grooming subordinates in the future would be much smoother.

If she went to an unfamiliar city, she would have to start from zero!

She might even fare worse than in her previous life!

After all, even the city she remembered as relatively safe in the future was currently in turmoil and far from secure.

Peace would come only after humanity banded together and dealt with most mutant creatures.

“In short, everywhere outside is dangerous now, no matter the city… and it’s not just mutant animals and plants that are deadly, humans are too!”

As Murong Xue finished speaking, she looked at Shen Yi.

She herself had run into this dangerous human called Shen Yi!

If Shen Yi hadn’t coveted her body and held back from killing her, one of them would certainly have died and the other been gravely wounded.

Mutual destruction was not out of the question…

Shen Yi was no good man, and Murong Xue was even worse.

In some ways their personalities were quite similar.

Whenever they had a chance, they would root out hidden dangers completely.

“No need to hint at me.”

Shen Yi felt no shame.

He then glanced at the white fox and asked, “After I release it, can you keep it under control?”

“If you can’t, I’ll kill it.”

“I can! Little White is very smart and understands speech!” Murong Xue responded at once.

Little White’s ability would be one of her most important assets in the future, so she absolutely could not abandon it.

Shen Yi looked at the white fox, sensed that it did not harbor much hostility, and finally released Shadow Bind.

The white fox stood up, its eyes watching Shen Yi warily, yet it did not approach him.

Obviously, it feared Shen Yi as well.

“Is it really that smart?”

Shen Yi was a little surprised.

He had actually seen a human-like expression in the fox’s eyes.

“Yes, Little White is very smart.”

Murong Xue walked over, picked up the white fox, and gently stroked its head.

The white fox relaxed in her arms, did not struggle, closed its eyes, and began resting again.

The fox was like a sick patient, utterly devoid of energy.

That was the side effect brought about by its powerful time-type superpower.

“It seems an animal’s mutation is not limited to the body.”

Shen Yi mused.

The white fox’s mutation felt more like another form of evolution.

It had gained a superpower, could stay rational, would not attack humans at random, and possessed high intelligence.

Such mutations were still very rare.

So far Shen Yi had only seen this single white fox.

“Well then, it’s time for us to handle proper business.”

Shen Yi looked at Murong Xue and spoke.

It was not simply lust for beauty, even though Murong Xue’s looks and figure were the most perfect he had ever seen.

Shen Yi’s main goal was to unlock the System reward while Murong Xue still held no hostility toward him.

This woman’s emotions shifted rapidly, and she was extremely ambitious.

Ambitious people, male or female, were always dangerous.

Shen Yi definitely would not bring her to his home lightly, much less trust her easily.

After all, Murong Xue possessed a superpower that could alter people’s thoughts and cognition; if she schemed against his other women or family, he would have no way to guard against it!

“Can we do it a little later?”

Murong Xue paused and explained while looking at Shen Yi, “Let’s make a trip to Shancheng University first; I know a superpower fruit will ripen in the next couple of days.”

“If we do that act now, I’m afraid I won’t have the stamina to face the dangers inside the black fog.”

If she hadn’t recovered some mental power while chatting, Murong Xue would have had trouble even standing right now.

Even so, her current state was not very good.

Although the fight with Shen Yi had upgraded her superpower, it had also drained her tremendously.

Shen Yi had consumed a lot as well, especially since he had been using Shadow Bind to restrain the white fox, causing his stamina to keep bleeding away.

“That’s fine; let’s eat something first.”

“Alright, I’ll grab a few cans of meat.”

As she spoke, Murong Xue got up to fetch food.

Shen Yi raised a hand to stop her, then took 3 roast chickens and 2 large bottles of White Silk Cola from the System Space.

How could canned meat compare with the aroma of freshly roasted chicken!

Especially when paired with a sugary drink!

Shen Yi had burned a lot of stamina today, so he was truly famished and had a strong appetite.

“A spatial superpower for storing food? You actually have 2 spatial-type superpowers!?”

Murong Xue immediately revealed a look of astonishment.
