Yes, the Lou family, which had a large number of members before the apocalypse, is now reduced to a pitiful 5 people.
Since the apocalypse 14 years ago, the Lou family has not had a single new member.
There's a story circulating within the base about this.
The Lou family's hotel was transformed by spirits, which depleted all the good fortune accumulated by the Lou family over generations, which is why the Lou family has not had a single newborn child to this day.
This is a recipe for disaster, leading to the extinction of all descendants.
Of course, people only dare to say this in private; they would never dare to say it openly.
Xin Sui walked over and sat down opposite Lou Zhan.
Lou Xun greeted her warmly, "Xiao Kai is here?"
Xin Sui gave a perfunctory "hmm" and picked up his knife and fork, tapping them listlessly on his wine glass.
Hey, it's just for fun.
Lou Kun flicked off his cigarette ash, turned around, walked to the head seat, and pulled out a chair to sit down.
Xin Sui glanced at him.
His youth was somewhat surprising.
According to information provided by Qiao Lu and Ruan Peipei, Lou Kun was already twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old before the apocalypse.
As the eldest grandson of the eldest son's family, he was raised from a young age to be the heir of the family.
Lou Kun lived up to expectations and successfully grew into the person a successor should be.
If the apocalypse hadn't happened, he would definitely have become the legendary domineering CEO.
Now, 14 years have passed since the apocalypse, and he should be at least 40, but he looks like he's only in his early 30s.
It seems that cultivation can indeed effectively slow down aging.
As Xin Sui was sizing up Lou Kun, Lou Kun suddenly looked at her.
"I heard that Xiao Kai has awakened a second time? And it's the same kind of mental power ability as mine?"
Xin Sui crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, and nodded nonchalantly.
He eagerly said, "Big brother, shall we have a contest? Let's see whose mental strength is stronger, shall we?"
He acted like he didn't know his place and was eager to show off to the world.
"Tch, Big Brother has been awakened for so many years, how dare you, someone who just awakened, compare yourself to him?"
Lou Junyu stepped out of the swimming pool, and as he walked, the wind around him dried the water droplets on his body.
She is clearly a wind-type ability user.
Xin Sui arrogantly said, "So what if I just awakened? Who said that a newly awakened level is necessarily low?"
"Let me tell you, I woke up at the fourth rank."
"Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you? Your eyes must be popping out of your head!"
Lou Junyu was greatly shocked: "What?! Fourth rank?"
Lou Xun jumped up from his chair, nearly knocking over the wine glass in front of him.
"Xiao Kai, you're not kidding us, are you?"
Lou Zhan, who was cutting his steak, suddenly smashed his knife and fork into the plate.
Lou Kun appeared to be the calmest, but he didn't come to his senses until the cigar burned his fingers.
Undoubtedly, the four members of the Lou family were shocked by the news that Xin Sui had suddenly revealed.
Xin Sui said smugly, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would joke about something like this? If you don't believe me, you can test me, brother."
In the 277th year of the end times, the Xin year was as weak as it could possibly be.
However, by the time the apocalypse reached 14 years later, her mental strength was comparable to that of a fourth-tier ability user, making her undoubtedly a top-tier powerhouse.
Not to mention that she herself possesses the ability of immortality, and also holds various "divine artifacts" brought from later generations.
So, since she's already this strong, why would she go to such lengths to hide her true strength?
Of course, it's not advisable to expose everything, but exposing some of it is fine.
Without saying a word, Lou Kun used his mental energy to conjure a small knife and attacked Xin Sui with lightning speed.
Xin Sui did not resist, but instead used his mental power to forcefully snatch the knife away.
Lou Kun's mental strength remained undiminished.
Xin Sui intensified his efforts to pull things in his favor.
The two people's spiritual power each formed a rope, and the knife was the "red thread" in the middle of the rope.
Like a tug-of-war, they pulled the knife towards themselves with all their might.
Lou Junyu, as a staunch supporter of his elder brother Lou Kun, cheered him on loudly.
Lou Xun clenched his fists tightly and remained silent.
Regardless of whether Lou Kun or Lou Kai wins, it won't affect him much, so there's no need for him to express his opinion; he'd better just observe quietly.
Lou Zhan unexpectedly cheered for "Lou Kai".
Xin Sui glanced at him in surprise and said irritably, "Get lost, do I need your encouragement?"
With a sudden pull, she snatched the knife from her grasp.
"Big brother, I won."
Xin Sui, who knew nothing of humility, said excitedly and proudly.
Lou Kun's lips curled up slightly. "Yes, you win."
Xin Sui raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you unhappy? You lost face by being beaten by your younger brother?"
Lou Junyu: "Do you think your older brother is as petty as you? Your older brother has a very broad mind and wishes that everyone in our family would be strong."
Lou Kun nodded, "Xiao Yu is right. The world is tough these days. If our Lou family wants to stand firm in this world and continue to grow strong, it won't be enough for me to do it alone."
"If you can all grow up and stand on your own, then I, as the eldest brother, can feel at ease and occasionally take a break and relax."
Xin Sui was moved. "Big brother, it turns out I've been misunderstanding you all along. Come, let me toast you."
The two brothers raised their glasses, clinked them together, and each tilted their heads back.
Xin Sui only took a small sip, while Lou Kun downed the entire cup in one gulp.
He put down his wine glass, laughed loudly, and poured himself a glass of red wine.
"Haha, that's great! Today is a day worth celebrating."
"Come on, let's have another drink, to Xiao Kai, and to the even brighter future of our Lou family! Cheers!"
