Zuo Ling snorted, "In my past life! How could those energy crystals that the Ding family gave me to absorb possibly awaken ice-type abilities?"
On this point, Zuo Ling wronged the Ding family. She needed to absorb a cyan energy crystal with ice attributes in order to awaken her ice powers.
Pei Nansheng suddenly realized that Zuo Ling was not a direct descendant of the Ding family. The Ding family both used and guarded against Zuo Ling, so it was impossible for them to openly supply energy crystals to her.
She felt a surge of curiosity about Zuo Ling's destiny in this life, but she didn't inquire further.
He chuckled, "Ice ability is not bad either, but the master will be disappointed. He was hoping that you, his granddaughter, would awaken spatial ability."
Back in the car, Zuo Ling asked Pei Nansheng:
"Why does the Ding family think I can awaken superpowers? And why do they think I can awaken spatial superpowers?"
If the Ding family hadn't placed high hopes on Zuo Ling, they wouldn't have spent 30 million on a bastard daughter who had been living away from home.
Pei Nansheng shook his head: "I don't know either. Our biological father isn't very qualified. Maybe we can check with your mother."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Haven't you ever wondered who your mother is?"
Zuo Lingzhen was never curious. From the time she could remember, she had been in the Zuo family, protected by her grandmother. Her adoptive parents weren't particularly close to her, but they hadn't mistreated her either.
However, Pei Nansheng's question aroused Zuo Ling's suspicion.
With his two older brothers around, the Zuo family wouldn't have to worry about not having children, so why did they need to adopt her? He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Pei Nansheng interrupted, "Alright, stop thinking about it. You won't understand anyway. Come on, come on, let's feast together, thanks to my sister."
He rubbed his hands together, looking like he hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.
Zuo Ling snapped out of her daze, picked up two bottles of Huang Gui Thick Rice Wine, and said with a smile, "Rice wine, it won't make you drunk. I think it's pretty good. You should try some."
"Okay, have a taste."
Zuo Ling poured a small cup of Hakka wine for the waterfall, and the waterfall excitedly shook its long ears.
Pei Nansheng chuckled, "Your rabbit is quite interesting."
"Yeah, it eats whatever I eat, and it almost whines to me."
Pei Nansheng shook his head. In the apocalypse, it was difficult to even support oneself. Only someone with spatial abilities like Zuo Ling could afford to keep a pet.
Zuo Ling didn't tell Pei Nansheng about the waterfall's miraculous features, keeping some of her trump card for herself.
They ate and chatted, and it was quite pleasant.
The meal lasted for more than two hours, and it had the warm feeling of a family gathering.
When Zuo Ling was young, her two older brothers treated her fairly well, but as they grew older, their behavior became more calculating.
Before she knew she was an adopted daughter of the Zuo family, she didn't think much of it. In the countryside, many families treated girls as cash cows, and she was just one of them.
Once you understand, your feelings will naturally be different.
In this cold and desolate world, having my brother by my side, and no longer walking alone, feels quite good.
There was only one large bed in the car when we slept at night.
Zuo Ling wanted to switch to a different RV. The Doomsday Chariot was more functional than comfortable and was far less comfortable than other RVs.
Pei Nansheng didn't let her take it.
"It'll do alright, this car is pretty good. In case of any trouble, none of your other cars will be as reliable as this one."
After driving it for a day, Pei Nansheng really liked the Doomsday Chariot and gave it a very high rating.
For him, safety was more important than comfort. Traveling with Zuo Ling was far more pleasant than traveling with Ding Jiaojiao.
"Fine, I'll stay. Zuo Ling isn't one to be pampered."
Fearing it would get cold at night, Zuo Ling took two electric heaters to warm up the car and laid out mats and polar sleeping bags on the floor.
"Brother, you've been driving all day. I'll sleep on the floor, you can sleep on the bed."
“You sleep in the bed. I’m a grown man, I can sleep anywhere. There’s no reason for me to fight with my sister for a bed.”
Pei Nansheng refused to let Zuo Ling sleep on the floor no matter what.
After arguing for a long time, Zuo Ling was defeated.
An electric blanket can be used on the bed, but the floor is too narrow to easily lay it out, so Zuo Ling brought several electric hand warmers to warm Pei Nansheng's bed.
I put down comforters and cotton quilts on top of my sleeping bag for warmth, and two blankets, one under the mattress and one over my body.
Pei Nansheng was speechless. He had never been so pampered before, nor had he ever been cared for like this before.
My heart softens, and I sigh again, thinking how wonderful it is to have a younger sister with spatial abilities!
