“……What’s the meaning?”
Ming Chunshan turned her head alertly. In such a short period of time, the so-called truth of the matter had been turned over and over again in the mouth of the person in front of her. She no longer knew which one was true and which one was false.

The superior slowly squatted down and explained slowly:
“Didn’t your teacher teach you this when you were in school?
“Monsters and psychics are two sides of the same coin. A psychic with a weak mind will degenerate into a monster.
“Xia Pingwu’s abilities have been drained by your medicine. How can she still have the ability to degenerate into a beast?”

Ming Chunshan paused, and even she herself didn’t notice it. She looked at the superior with a little hope in her eyes: “So, what you said just now…”
Ming Chunshan didn’t say anything else.
Because she knew very well that this medicine must have another side effect.
If it wasn’t a transformation into a monster, it could only be something more terrifying.

“So, we have made Xia Pingwu into a living container.”
The emotions that the superior had been hiding suddenly burst out. She began to laugh loudly, and even her facial muscles began to tremble continuously.
“Xia Pingwu is a genius supernatural master. Her body continuously produces supernatural powers. This is a natural renewable energy source.”
She walked up to Ming Chunshan and kicked his chin with her toes:
“And you, my child, are the one-to-one recipient of this energy.”

How can this be?
Unheard of! It’s absolutely insane!
Ming Chunshan suddenly jumped up and wanted to strangle the superior’s neck, but the superior, just like he did to Ji Jie, easily grasped Ming Chunshan’s fragile neck with his swollen hand.

Xia Pingwu stared at the swollen hand and watched Ming Chunshan’s face turn paler and paler. Finally, there was a change on his face, which had been motionless for a long time.
Then, she suddenly sneered and said word by word:
“Ming Chunshan, what are you pretending for?”

Ming Chunshan paused in her struggle, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away in an instant. She wanted to look back at Xia Pingwu to confirm whether she was trying to be roundabout, but the more she calmed down, the more the voice behind her became amplified in her ears –
She heard someone behind her say:
“Have you really discovered nothing? In these seven years, the power has gradually grown.
“Well, maybe you think you’ve finally become the genius that Master’s Wife wanted, like me.”

Xia Pingwu looked at the satisfied look in the eyes of the superior, and the tone of his voice became higher and higher:
“Let’s take a step back and say that you really don’t have this idea at all, and you are really that stupid and have no idea of ​​all this.
“But Ming Chunshan, you are still a vested interest.
“That’s not fair.”

Xia Pingwu’s face didn’t change at all, and Ming Chunshan was finally turned around by the superior, allowing her to clearly see Xia Pingwu’s expression.

As she had done many times before, the elder sister looked at her calmly, with no emotion visible, as if she would never be angry for her.
It seemed as if she was still the little girl many years ago, gritting her teeth as she was punished by her mother, and in the end still needed this elder sister to protect her.

She is not reconciled.
I am unwilling to accept this in every aspect.

A nameless fire ignited in Ming Chunshan’s heart, and he shouted back:
“Of course this isn’t fair!
“Because you don’t love me at all!
“You have always treated me as just a sister who needs your company and care!”

Xia Pingwu’s speech was interrupted like this, and she was subconsciously stunned for a few seconds. Her gaze finally shifted from the face of her superior to Ming Chunshan’s face.
Slowly, Xia Pingwu asked: “What did you say?”
Her thoughts moved quickly, and she immediately followed Ming Chunshan’s train of thought: “Ming Chunshan, I gave you the divorce agreement not because of this, but for you.
“I finally learned the truth about Master’s wife’s unjust death. It was all orchestrated by the Supernatural Bureau. I don’t want you to stay there for me.”
Her eyes slowly sank, and in a trance, Ming Chunshan actually felt that he saw heartache in it:
“But I didn’t expect, Ming Chunshan, that you were in cahoots with them.”

These words immediately angered Ming Chunshan. She struggled to walk towards Xia Pingwu, but the superior twisted his fingertips and hooked the back of her collar.
Ming Chunshan had no choice but to keep this action, breathing heavily:
“You said you were getting a divorce for me, but it wasn’t for your own conscience!
“Do you dare to say that you didn’t have any selfish motives when you married me?”

Ming Chunshan’s face flushed with anger. She leaned forward, her chest rising and falling violently. Perhaps because of this quarrel, she finally remembered the deep understanding she once had, so her words hit the other party’s sore spot more and more:
“You were seriously injured in the last battle, and you have serious sequelae.”
She asked almost viciously:
“You can’t blame me for this, right?”

Xia Pingwu’s face turned a little paler.

Ming Chunshan continues:
“So if you want information about the combat team, I’m the only one you can rely on!
“Xia Pingwu, you don’t love me at all. You just use me to find out the cause of Master’s wife’s death! From the beginning to the end, you only love Master’s wife and your great career as a supernatural master!”

Unconsciously, Xia Pingwu took two steps back. After finally standing up, her body swayed twice, and her back pressed against the cold wall. Only then did she find her voice again:
“Ming Chunshan, is this how you think of me?”

Ming Chunshan didn’t even pause as he spoke the last sentence word by word:
“You’ve been using me from the beginning to the end, and I, ignorantly but surely, hurt you, so, neither of us owes anyone anything!”

This was so absurd that Xia Pingwu almost laughed out of anger. She wanted to reach out and grab Ming Chunshan, but her long-term persistence had already exhausted her strength. She almost lost her balance and her feet slipped and she was about to fall.

She was interrupted by the shrill alarms that sounded from all directions.
“Alarm! The dungeon has been breached! The pollution level of the Supernatural Power Bureau is about to exceed the limit!”
“Alert! The pollution level of the Superpower Bureau has greatly exceeded the standard. Do we need to contact the United Superpower Bureau immediately and request other branches to come to the rescue?”

The smug smile on the superior’s face suddenly stopped. She suddenly retracted her fingers, and the swollen arm immediately retracted. At the same time, as she rolled back, Xia Pingwu felt as if she was being pulled by a silk thread and fell heavily.

Her chin was fiercely pinched by the superior, whose eyes were full of bitter disgust:
“Xia Pingwu, you are the one behind this again.” Xia Pingwu looked up at her, with a complex emotion in her eyes that was difficult to discern, and then she suddenly called out, “Master’s Wife.”

The superior’s movements froze.

Xia Pingwu continued, “If my master’s wife saw you like this, how would she feel?”

The superior then grasped Xia Pingwu’s chin tightly, and then slammed her chin to the ground: “She will be very happy to see her disciple taking good care of her daughter.”

From Xia Pingwu’s perspective, he could clearly see Ji Jie lying on the ground, in a deep coma, with no signs of waking up.
But she also knew that the reason why the dungeon was able to defect successfully was all because of Ji Jie.

Ever since she realized that the dungeon was full of living monsters, although she couldn’t figure out why the superiors did this, she immediately conveyed the news to Ji Jie.
Ji Jie really lived up to her expectations and released all these guys.

She didn’t expect these once imprisoned beasts to completely overturn the supernatural power situation, but at least they could delay it.
But…her previous plan was to take Ming Chunshan with her.

She looked carefully at Ming Chunshan through the reflection in the glass and saw that she was looking back at her. This was almost the first time that Xia Pingwu could not understand the emotions in her eyes.
Maybe there had been many such estrangements in the past, but they had been physically together but spiritually apart for so many years that even they believed that they loved each other deeply.

The next moment, she saw the superior approach Ming Chunshan and gently placed his hand on Ming Chunshan’s shoulder:
“Chunshan, what are you still doing here?
“You should gather your squad and start meeting the enemy.”

Then, the man shook Ming Chunshan’s shoulders, with a coaxing tone in his voice:
“Do you feel it, Chunshan, the surging supernatural power flowing through your body?
“All of that is yours, and it’s owed to you by those who have failed you.
“Enjoy it, and wander freely in Spring Mountain.”

To be honest, those words just now were not what Xia Pingwu wanted to say sincerely.
It would be bad for both of them to quarrel in the current situation, as it would only allow those in higher positions to reap the benefits.
Of course, there are true feelings revealed here, about her obliterated dreams and about these tangled conspiracies and intrigues.
But at this moment, Xia Pingwu could finally be sure that he was just gambling at the time.
The game played by the superiors was so big that she definitely couldn’t save it all by herself, so instead of letting both of them die here, it would be better to save at least one person.
If the superior uses her special ability to support Ming Chunshan, then the superior will definitely not kill Ming Chunshan easily. In this case——
As long as she protects him, Ming Chunshan will most likely survive.

That’s all she asked for.

Just at this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came to my ears. Something passed by the door, stretched out its sharp claws, and was scratching the office door bit by bit, making a harsh and unbearable noise.
The sound of Mao Xiqing fighting could be heard outside the door. Countless members of the combat team rushed up the stairs and followed closely behind him. Suddenly, there was a burst of crackling noise outside the door.

The noise became smaller and smaller. Perhaps the combat team had achieved a temporary victory and was pursuing the victory. Xia Pingwu could hear low whimpering coming from the crack of the door, uttering an incomprehensible language. It was the strange beast making its last struggle.

Xia Pingwu gritted her teeth, turned around, and stared into Ming Chunshan’s eyes: “Ming Chunshan, I have one last reminder for you, you must think it through.
“She’s using you and will probably destroy you.”

Ming Chunshan turned his eyes away and looked at the door: “At least better than you.”

Xia Pingwu wanted to continue speaking, but at this moment, the door was pushed open by the superior.

She pointed at a large strange beast outside the door that was being held down by Mao Xiqing, her voice very soft.
That sound could ensure that people outside could not hear it, but people in the house could hear it clearly:
“Chunshan, go ahead. That’s my reward for your obedience. It’s also your next target.”

The other two looked in the direction of the voice, and suddenly a familiar face appeared under the body covered with countless algae-like hairs.
They were classmates from the same class.

The superior saw that the two had recognized him and continued with a smile:
“During the school competition, she used tricks to defeat you. Not only was her victory unfair, she also mocked you for being a mother-eater. She doesn’t deserve to live in this world, even as an alien beast.
“She betrayed your friendship, so now, absorb her supernatural power, just like you did to Xia Pingwu.”
