Chapter 173 Snatching People! The Yu Family of Lingnan (1/2)

The last word, "诛" (zhū), was spoken by Old Yuan with a chilling murderous intent.

Gu Guanhai exclaimed upon hearing this, "Ha!"

He immediately sneered and said, "It's as if you could easily deal with someone who has awakened superpowers without my help!"

"Old Yuan, you practice geomancy, but I am the Asura. You'd better not pretend in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Old Yuan exclaimed: "!!!"

She glared at him speechlessly, gritting her teeth, "I'm serious!"

He said with a serious expression, "As you know, all the awakening of superpowers involves seizing the power of heaven and earth, and consuming the destiny of the Xia Kingdom."

"Our Yuan family's mission throughout the generations has been to safeguard the destiny of this land. As the fortunes of this land ebb and flow, every person who awakens their supernatural abilities is a challenge for us."

"If her awakened ability can benefit the Xia Kingdom, that would be good; if not..."

"Killing her and reclaiming the life force she has expended is our only option!"

His words resonated deeply.

Gu Guanhai, however, ate slowly and deliberately.

Upon seeing this, Old Yuan exclaimed, "!!"

He immediately panicked.

"An awakened superpowered individual has been exposed in front of you!"

He tapped the table and said in a deep voice, "How can you still have the appetite?"

Gu Guanhai rolled his eyes at him.

"Isn't this giving back to the family?"

He said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do if you're not eating? It's a waste!"

Old Yuan was speechless upon hearing this.

They both looked completely bewildered.

"What do you mean?"

He asked hesitantly.

"The literal meaning."

While eating in silence, Gu Guanhai said, "What she awakened seems to be a spatial ability, the kind that's been diluted. I've seen a precedent in your Bureau of Supernatural Abilities' confidential files."

Old Yuan: "???"

I was even more confused.

What does "watering down the space system" mean?

Gu Guanhai: ...

She picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Yes, the kind with space and water. She's the one who made all this food!"

Old Yuan: ……

He chewed the food passively and swallowed it.

Then.

He nodded.

I understand.

"But how does cooking count as giving back?"

Old Yuan said somewhat humbly, "Have you ever seen anyone from our Special Abilities Bureau work as a cook? Our people are all people who can assist you in completing special missions, or who have special achievements in other areas..."

Gu Guanhai: "Her water can heal wounds."

Upon hearing this, Old Yuan asked, "Hmm?"

His eyes lit up.

The next second.

He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, looking intently at Gu Guanhai, and asked, "Really?"

Gu Guanhai: "It couldn't be more real."

"Then she's mine!"

Upon hearing this, Old Yuan was so excited he trembled with joy. "This isn't some kind of watered-down space system; it's clearly a gift from heaven! Heaven is favoring our Xia Kingdom!"

"Take him in! The Supernatural Abilities Bureau is taking him in!"

Gu Guanhai heard this: ...

She looked up and gave him a deep, thoughtful look.

"I set my sights on her first, she's mine."

He said in a deep voice, "You think you can just back down like that? Are your fists harder than mine?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Yuan instantly snapped back to reality.

"You want to steal her from me?"

He said with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Gu Guanhai: "Hehe."

He sneered and said, "Who wants to take her from you? I've already said, she's mine!"

Old Yuan: "!!!"

With his hands on the table and a serious expression, he said, "All those who have awakened their supernatural abilities are under the jurisdiction of my Supernatural Abilities Bureau!"

Gu Guanhai glanced at him.

"If you want to take someone from me, you'll have to get past my fists first."

Old Yuan: "This is the power the organization has given me!"

"Three punches from me will be enough to finish your job on the seventh day after your death."
