80: I Want to Sleep!

“Me? A Reincarnator?”

Shen Yi paused in surprise.

How had this woman filled in the blanks?

She even took me for a Reincarnator…

After thinking for a moment, he still replied, “I’m not, but you are.”

Shen Yi also confirmed Murong Xue’s identity as a Reincarnator from her question.

All his suspicions turned into certainty!

“…”

Murong Xue obviously realized her identity had been exposed, so she severed the Mental Link with Shen Yi at once.

No more talking!

The more you say, the more you slip.

All she needed now was to brace for every contingency!

If Shen Yi truly meant her harm, then even if he was Shen Su’s brother, she would show no mercy!

At worst, they would both go down together!

At that very moment, tension filled the air.

Shen Yi, hiding inside the black fog, also frowned, hesitating over whether to make a move.

He kept feeling that Murong Xue still held a powerful trump card.

For example, her superpower.

Or perhaps that white fox?

Shen Yi used Telepathy to focus on the white fox and scrutinized it.

The white fox’s size was no different from a normal fox, and its only distinction was its three tails.

It too was a mutated white fox!

Moreover, it might be a very powerful mutant white fox.

Otherwise, Murong Xue would not have wasted supplies to keep it.

If he was not careful, he might suffer at this fox’s paws.

“How do I take her down without getting hurt?”

Shen Yi fell into thought.

A direct assault was definitely out of the question.

He did not want to gamble.

There was another way.

He could teleport inside, toss in two grenades, blow up both the white fox and Murong Xue, and be done with it!

But that felt like a waste…

It would waste grenades, waste unrevealed supplies, and above all waste the value of a Reincarnator…

“Even if I can’t blow her up outright, I can threaten her with grenades…”

“If she does not fear my threat, that proves she has the means to survive grenades, so I’ll leave her alone for now and deal with her after I level up a bit.”

“If she fears them, then I’ll press the advantage right now…”

Shen Yi quickly drafted a plan… to probe her with grenades.

He forcibly established another Mental Link with Murong Xue and attached a warning: “I have grenades; if you don’t want a fight to the death, don’t refuse to talk!”

Having his Mental Links wiped repeatedly, Shen Yi felt his mental energy draining fast.

If he cut the link himself, the cost was minimal, but if the opponent forcefully severed it, the drain multiplied.

Indeed, the Mental Link superpower relied on mental energy.

Although Shen Yi had not acquired a superpower that enhanced mental energy, the Physical Evolution superpower already gave him far more mental stamina than ordinary people, which allowed him to link to Murong Xue repeatedly.

On the other side, Murong Xue was about to sever the link again when she heard Shen Yi’s words.

“Grenades!?”

She looked utterly incredulous.

How could Shen Yi possibly have grenades???

No! Impossible!!

He must be bluffing me!!!

How could an ordinary college student possess grenades? That was absurd!

Yet despite her doubts, Murong Xue did not sever the link this time.

She was confident she could survive a grenade blast, but the risk remained huge.

Besides, if he had more than one grenade, her situation would become even more perilous…

“We have no feud, and I even helped your sister, yet you threaten me like this?”

Murong Xue questioned him coldly, her tone tinged with anger and confusion.

Shen Yi seemed not to hear her accusation and continued on his own: “I picked my grenades off dead special forces; they’re custom-made and much stronger than normal ones. If one goes off in your apartment, it will level the place.”

Murong Xue fell silent.

That bastard!

From his words, it didn’t sound like a bluff.

Could he really have grenades!?

Murong Xue took a deep breath and forced herself calm: “I’m not afraid of your grenades!”

“Don’t think that just because you have a spatial superpower, I can’t deal with you!”

“Since you know I’m a Reincarnator, you can guess I have my own life-saving cards!”

She paused, her tone easing a bit: “I don’t want a death match; we have no feud, and there’s no need for mutual destruction!”

Murong Xue openly admitted her identity as a Reincarnator.

Moreover, her words clearly carried a resolve to perish together if necessary!

Shen Yi pondered for a moment.

Indeed, there was no personal grudge between them.

But in these times, did such reasoning still apply?

Those rioters before had had no feud with Shen Yi either.

Yet Shen Yi had still killed them.

And the threat Murong Xue posed was far greater than the rioters’.

She was a Reincarnator, hid enormous secrets, and had intentionally approached his family.

Shen Yi could not possibly leave her alone.

If Murong Xue grew quickly by relying on memories of her past life, the situation could flip and he would be on the defensive!

Although this was only his conjecture, Shen Yi always assumed the worst of others.

In this world, only power decided everything.

Whether one was good or evil, power was forever paramount!

Therefore, this unstable factor called Murong Xue had to be resolved or controlled.

At the very least, he had to make sure she could never threaten him.

Only then would Shen Yi feel at ease.

“I don’t want to be your enemy either.”

Shen Yi replied thus.

Hearing that answer, Murong Xue relaxed ever so slightly.

She truly did not want a life-and-death struggle.

Only someone who had died once knew how precious living was!

Of course, it was also because her current strength was insufficient.

If she were strong enough and Shen Yi dared threaten her like this, she would have killed him outright!

She would have ended Shen Yi on the spot!

Negotiate?

I’ll negotiate my ass!!

Fury churned inside Murong Xue, and she wished she could tear Shen Yi to pieces!

Yet she still forced down the impulse.

Reincarnated into this life, she had thought she could shake off the indignities of her previous one and bow to no one.

She never expected that after only half a month her identity as a Reincarnator would be exposed and she’d even be threatened!

“What rotten luck!”

“If I get reincarnated again, I’ll find this bastard first and kill him outright!!”

Murong Xue ground her teeth and thought.

In this life, she had long become decisive, ruthless, and merciless.

She would no longer hesitate as in her past life but had learned to solve problems with the most direct means.

However, faced with Shen Yi’s threat, she had to suppress her anger for the moment and respond calmly.

“Now is not the time for rashness…”

“Once I have the power, I’ll settle things with you!”

She warned herself in secret, a chilly light flashing in her eyes.

After forcing her temper down again, Murong Xue asked through the Mental Link, “Since you don’t want to be my enemy, why have you been spying on me all this time?”

“To sleep with you!”

Shen Yi answered without hesitation.
