Chapter 149: 099 Old Fox (Third Update)_2

He reflected on General Song’s recent words and easily guessed that the aqua blue Crystal Stone was likely related to Fang Yuxin. The Qiu Family probably didn’t know about this.

At that thought, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. The Qiu Family had really miscalculated this time. Just that they might not be aware of the kind of opportunity they had missed!

Thinking gleefully, the Deputy Chen’s eyes remained fixed on General Li. General Li seemed very much in pain, but the deputy believed that the steely general could pull through, so he wasn’t worried.

Sure enough, after more than forty minutes, the agony vanished from General Li’s face, and his expression gradually became serene. Twenty more minutes passed, and he opened his eyes.

The moment his eyes opened, all three of them saw a flash of aqua blue light disappear from his gaze. And the pronounced energy fluctuations from his body were proof that he had successfully awakened a superpower.

General Li exhaled a breath of foul air, not minding his discomfort, and asked General Song excitedly, “General Song! What in the world is going on? That Crystal Stone just now… what is that thing? Why did I feel such an urgent need to absorb it, and even awakened a Water Ability superpower?”

General Song’s face brimmed with a smile, but his tone was sour, “General Li, you are really lucky, that stone you used just now is one that could awaken superpowers in Ordinary People. I only had one, and you’ve used it up.”

Initially embarrassed, General Li then snorted, “You called me here for that Crystal Stone, didn’t you? Since I have absorbed it, it means it was my destiny. You can’t envy what’s meant for me.” He shook his head in self-satisfaction and then asked seriously, “Tell me, what exactly is going on?”

General Song then succinctly recounted what Zhou Yan had previously said, though he omitted the part about Fang Yuxin. However, General Li wasn’t a fool and quickly figured it out. After he left, someone had told him about Zhou Yan asking Fang Yuxin to heal his battle buddy, and hardly had the Fang siblings left when he, carrying a suitcase, went to see General Song. It was way too obvious.

Thinking of this, he felt extremely fortunate. It was good that he hadn’t agreed to Zheng Tianhe’s request; otherwise, it would have been troublesome. Even though the military was the strongest now, he didn’t want to be seen as ungrateful, cutting off the bridge after crossing!

General Song confiding such important news to him was a favor he acknowledged. Considering the relationship between the Qiu and Fang families, he coldly smirked with some schadenfreude.

The Qiu Family had really suffered a significant loss this time!

General Li quickly said, “Once I’m back, I’ll gather my trusted aides and instruct them to collect more of these stones during their missions. However, it’s best to keep the secret of the Crystal Stones.”

General Song nodded, their thinking aligned. There were so many people in the Safe Zone, and keeping it a total secret was impossible. Still, even if others learned of these mysterious stones, they couldn’t cut open the stones without the correct method.

Sitting across from Qiu Yiming with a stern face, she said, “Go tell Fang Yuxin that if she doesn’t want to be the daughter-in-law of the Qiu Family, she’d better speak up now! We have no use for a daughter-in-law who bites the hand that feeds her!”

“Mom!” Qiu Yiming called out, holding back his anger as he tried to reason, “Xinxin is a Wood Element Superpower User with Healing Ability. If Zhou Yan asks for her help to save a battle buddy, how can she refuse?”

Zhou Fanghua wouldn’t listen to him. Seeing Qiu Yiming still defending Fang Yuxin, she grew even more disappointed in him and resentful towards Fang Yuxin! Qiu Yiming was her son who had always been filial and almost always obeyed her, but now, for that woman Fang Yuxin, he wouldn’t even listen to her words! He even talked back to her!

That woman was nothing but trouble!

She glared furiously at Qiu Yiming, nearly spitting fire, “Yiming! Is that woman Fang Yuxin more important to you than your own mother?”

Qiu Yiming was in deep trouble. He was indeed unhappy about Fang Yuxin helping Zhou Yan, but right now, Zhou Fanghua was furious, and if he sided with her, she might just call off his engagement to Fang Yuxin right then and there!
