Gu Yunshu and Xie Jing rushed back and saw the two of them, one big and one small, sitting on the playmat playing house.
Gu Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief: "Qingqing, Xiao Chengzi hasn't been naughty, has she?"
Xia Qingqing didn't speak, but instead focused her gaze on a pile of charred toys not far away.
Her silence at that moment was deafening.
Gu Yunshu almost choked on her breath and immediately started rolling up her sleeves: "Don't stop me, I'm going to teach her a lesson today."
"No, no, no, Sister Yunshu, calm down. Xiao Chengzi is still young, she didn't do it on purpose," Xia Qingqing said, immediately pulling the still-smiling Xiao Chengzi into her arms when she saw that she was really angry.
Xia Qingqing was indeed startled when Xiao Chengzi suddenly used her superpower to burn toys in the afternoon, but when she thought that Gu Yunshu and Xie Jing were both superpower users, she understood that Xiao Chengzi must also have fire-type superpowers.
Fortunately, the little one was quite sensible; he only burned the toys he didn't want to play with anymore and didn't throw fireballs at her directly.
She had plenty of toys in her system's inventory. Whenever Little Orange burned one, she would take out a new one, and the two of them played together quite harmoniously.
Gu Cheng had no idea that his pretty aunt was protecting him, and happily rushed towards Gu Yunshu, saying, "Mommy, hug me~".
Gu Yunshu took the opportunity to grab her chubby little hand and slap it, making a crisp "smack" sound.
Gu Cheng's mouth immediately pursed, and her big eyes filled with tears: "Wow~ Mom is bad."
Gu Yunshu, unusually, didn't soften her heart and slapped her chubby little hand again, saying fiercely, "Will you dare to set fires again in the future?"
"Waaah~", Gu Cheng cried, tears streaming down her face, her eyes red and swollen.
"Take back your tears," Gu Yunshu said sternly.
She felt that her daughter's problem should have been addressed a long time ago. When she was younger, she might have genuinely been unable to control her powers, but now, most of the time, the little one would casually throw out a small fireball when she was unhappy or thought it was fun. To put it bluntly, she was spoiled.
Gu Cheng was scolded by her mother, and looked to her father for help.
Xie Jing's heart softened when he saw his daughter's pitiful little expression, but his wife was in charge at home, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
Gu Cheng, having failed to get help, blinked her big eyes and buried her head in Xia Qingqing's arms: "Auntie~".
Xia Qingqing smiled and ruffled her soft hair: "Sister Yunshu, let's let it go this time. I bet Xiao Chengzi already knows she was wrong."
"Hmph, she's always playing the victim," Gu Yunshu said, but a smile played on her lips.
......
After dinner, Xia Qingqing called out to Gu Yunshu, who was about to return to her room: "Sister Yunshu, I want to talk to you about something."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunshu said to Xie Jing, "Jing, why don't you take our daughter back to her room to take a bath first? I'll talk to Qingqing."
"Okay," Xie Jing nodded, then carried her daughter, who had eaten and drunk her fill, upstairs.
After sitting down on the sofa, Gu Yunshu finally asked, "Qingqing, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Xia Qingqing pursed her lips and announced the decision she had been agonizing over all afternoon: "Sister Yunshu, I want to try that power-activating potion you told me about before."
She wasn't sure if she could go back. If she wanted to live in this world, she definitely couldn't do it without strength. She couldn't rely on Gu Yunshu's protection forever.
Although she has many treasures in her system warehouse, she can no longer use the system now, and those treasures will run out sooner or later, so she has to make plans in advance.
Gu Yunshu frowned and hesitated, "Qingqing, why do you suddenly want to activate your superpower? This isn't as simple as you think. What if it fails to activate..."
Xia Qingqing interrupted her before she could finish speaking: "Sister Yunshu, I still want to try. I don't think I'll be that unlucky."
Although she currently lacks superpowers, she has practiced the body-refining techniques and mental cultivation methods taught to her by Glek, and she has a premonition that she will succeed.
"Let me think about it some more. Qingqing, you should also think it over carefully. With me protecting you at the base, no one will dare to bully you, so you really don't need to worry too much," Gu Yunshu said earnestly.
Xia Qingqing smiled and shook her head. She knew that Gu Yunshu would definitely not abandon her, but it was better to have it herself than to have it from anyone else.
With the future uncertain, only by improving her own strength can she feel at ease.
As Gu Yunshu lay in bed that night, she kept tossing and turning, thinking about the matter. Xie Jing, who was lying next to her, was kept awake by the noise she was making.
He stretched out his long arm and pulled the person into his arms, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong? Have you been out of exercise for too long?"
"What are you talking about? Be serious!" Gu Yunshu glared at the man.
Xie Jing chuckled lightly: "Stop fooling around, tell me what's bothering you so much?"
Gu Yunshu recounted what Xia Qingqing had told her, and then asked, "Do you think we should let Qingqing try to activate her superpower? You know Qingqing's situation; she's not from our world at all. I'm worried..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jing did not speak immediately. After pondering for a while, he said, "The initiative in this matter still rests with her. You cannot make the decision for her."
"But what if something really happens?" Gu Yunshu asked, her voice trembling with excitement.
Xia Qingqing only knows one person in this world, and the other person has only been in this world for a few days. If anything goes wrong because of the power-activating potion, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Xie Jing looked at the person in his arms with a gentle expression: "Even so, you can't interfere with her decision under the guise of doing what's best for her. Yun Shu, you should think positively. You and she are destined to be together, and it's not so easy for you to turn into zombies."
It must be said that these words did indeed comfort Gu Yunshu.
Yes, she and Xia Qingqing are the 'chosen ones,' they won't die so easily.
Gu Yunshu stopped worrying and quickly fell asleep in Xie Jing's arms.
The next day, Xia Qingqing once again suggested trying to activate her supernatural abilities, and this time Gu Yunshu did not object.
Because her whole family possesses supernatural abilities, Gu Yunshu has never changed her supernatural ability activation potion. However, given her status, obtaining a supernatural ability activation potion would be a simple matter for her.
She went out alone, and when she came back, she had an extra power-activating potion in her hand.
Gu Yunshu handed the medicine to Xia Qingqing and said worriedly, "Qingqing, you can definitely succeed, right?"
"Yes, of course I'll succeed. Sister Yunshu, just pretend I went back to my room for a nap," Xia Qingqing said with a smile before taking the medicine back to her room.
The effects of taking the ability-activating potion vary from person to person, but as long as you can persist for two hours, it means you have succeeded. The only difference is the type and strength of the ability.
As for those who couldn't last two hours, they naturally mutated into zombies.
