Chapter 151 Dual Abilities
Soon, Lin Muyan saw an old woman dressed simply, her face full of trepidation and nervousness, come out of the house.
She looked Lin Muyan up and down, and seeing that she was a woman and didn't have any tools on her, her complexion improved slightly.
It was just that the wind was strong outside, and there must have been a stove burning inside the house to keep warm. The old woman was a little overwhelmed by the sudden chill in the courtyard and swayed a bit.
Lin Muyan reacted quickly and stepped forward to support the other person.
The old woman could tell that Lin Muyan meant no harm. She looked into the house and saw that her granddaughter was gone, probably having crawled under the bed into the cellar. She then said to Lin Muyan:
"Young lady, would you like to come inside and sit down?"
Seeing that the old woman was less wary of her and even invited her into the house, Lin Muyan felt a surge of emotion.
A kind-hearted person will always maintain sincerity, no matter what.
On the contrary, the people she encountered along the way were rather complicated.
Lin Muyan declined the old woman's offer, pointing instead to the chicken coop beside her:
"Grandpa, I'd like to borrow your chicken coop for a bit. I'll be leaving soon, so please come inside; it's cold outside."
The old woman thought she had misheard. This young girl didn't seem stupid, so why did she want to borrow her chicken coop? She had already killed all the chickens in the coop and frozen them in homemade ice boxes. There was nothing left in the coop.
However, the old woman didn't say much. She just looked at Lin Muyan suspiciously, turned around and went back into the house, locking the door behind her.
Hearing the sound of the lock clicking shut, Lin Muyan simply smiled silently.
It's no wonder the elderly are so vigilant; times have changed, and it's important to be wary of strangers in order to better protect yourself and your children.
Lin Muyan walked into the chicken coop, and after confirming that the old woman wouldn't come over, she immediately took out the golden shovel, turned her back to the entrance of the chicken coop, and dug down towards the coordinate location.
The commotion she had anticipated did not materialize; Lin Muyan only saw water seeping out of the pit.
She looked down, frowning, puzzled. Had she unearthed a spring?
Just then, the small pool of water suddenly seemed to come alive, coalescing and surging towards Lin Muyan.
The water line suspended in mid-air seemed to have eyes, heading straight for Lin Muyan's face.
Lin Muyan's eyes widened instantly, and she wanted to back away, but the water line seemed to know her thoughts. It suddenly accelerated and rushed to her face at a speed that Lin Muyan could not dodge at all, and quickly entered her nostrils and ear canals.
Holy crap!
With a start, the remaining water rushed into her mouth.
Lin Muyan: "..."
[That was terrifying! What was that thing? Is Lin Muyan alright?]
[In some sci-fi movies I've seen before, there's an alien organism that's like this, flowing water, that burrows into a person's body and wreaks havoc on organs and tissues, causing instant death.]
[Hiss, that's terrifying! Does that mean Lin Muyan is doomed?]
[No way? The main character dies and the whole thing ends? I'll check back later if I'm not sure.]
[It's really exciting that this golden shovel is in Lin Muyan's hands; it always brings unexpected surprises and shocks. It's not like that with Shen Jiaojiao; she rarely digs up anything so astonishing.]
Lin Muyan's heart was in her throat. The unfounded speculations in the comments made her scalp tingle, and she was afraid that she would just die on the spot.
After waiting for a while, Lin Muyan did not feel any discomfort in her body. She tried to release the flames, and her supernatural power worked as usual.
Lin Muyan pursed her lips, stood up, and planned to retreat home immediately.
Even if there are any health problems, we'll investigate them after we get back to the safe house.
Thinking of this, Lin Muyan turned to leave.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the old man in the house wasn't spying on her; instead, he sat with his back to the outside, motionless by the stove, lost in thought.
Lin Muyan thought for a moment, rummaged around in the space for a while, and finally left some supplies in the chicken coop before turning around and leaving.
The old woman was quite clever; she seemed to have plenty of firewood at home, and if all else failed, she could burn the garbage to keep warm.
In a corner of the yard, Lin Muyan also saw several artificially cast natural refrigerators.
It seems the grandfather and grandson will have ways to cope when the extreme heat arrives.
So Lin Muyan left only some food and supplies and then left.
After a while, when there was no sound in the yard, the old woman belatedly realized what had happened, got up to check, and found that the little girl had left. She even thoughtfully closed the yard gate for her.
The old woman quickly opened the door to check. First, she locked the yard with an iron chain, then found a cardboard box to block up every corner that could be seen into the yard before she went into the chicken coop.
She was genuinely curious about what was so special about her chicken coop, now devoid of chickens, that would make a young girl come all the way to see it.
As soon as the old woman entered the chicken coop, she was shocked by what was piled up in the corner.
She rushed over to check, and when she saw bottled water, raw fish and meat, vegetables and fruits, two large nylon sacks of rice, two large barrels of oil, and all other practical supplies, she couldn't help but cover her mouth to stifle her gasp.
Good heavens, why did that little girl leave them so much stuff?
**
Lin Muyan returned to the safe house and locked herself in her room.
She had been very uneasy the whole way, but she also had a vague feeling that she hoped was not just her imagination, so she couldn't wait to try it out.
What is she going to do?
Why do I suddenly feel a little nervous?
What exactly is that thing? It couldn't be...?
Lin Muyan no longer cared what the comments were saying.
Back in her room at the safe house, feeling safe, she took out a bottle of mineral water from her spatial storage. The moment she unscrewed the cap, an unprecedented craving for water reached its peak, urging her to immediately tilt her head back and gulp down the entire bottle of water.
Lin Muyan felt like a lost person dying of thirst in the desert, every cell in her body screaming for water.
Lin Muyan finished the bottle of water in a few minutes and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a sense of unprecedented pleasure.
Just then, Lin Muyan suddenly felt a new power within her body.
She felt a surge of excitement and couldn't help but open her palms.
The next second, a handful of water slowly appeared in his palm.
Lin Muyan's eyes lit up, and her heart pounded.
Family members, does anyone know this? I never knew water-based superpowers could awaken like this!
Who says she doesn't have superpowers? She not only has them, she has many!
[Am I seeing things? How did she suddenly awaken water-based superpowers?]
[It must be that strange water in the chicken coop; it's actually the divine water that awakened her water-based abilities!]
[So, she's now a dual-elemental power user, capable of both fire and water elemental abilities? No, is that right?]
Wait a minute, water and fire elemental powers can be wielded by the same person? Isn't that an incredibly overpowered ability?
Even the comments section was shocked.
At the same time, a message suddenly appeared in Lin Muyan's mind.
As a dual-elemental ability user, she faces significantly greater challenges in enhancing her abilities compared to other single-elemental ability awakeners.
Her body will be a bottomless pit...
