Su Mo raised an eyebrow. A Level 2 Thunder Element, a rare superpower indeed.
She just watched as the Thunder Ball smacked towards her head. Lu Yuan thought this woman was going to die when, in the next second, Su Mo disappeared from the couch and appeared behind Lu Yuan, kicking her knee and forcing her to kneel on the ground.
With a smile on her face, Su Mo grabbed her hair and forced her head back, "Too slow, huh?"
The four superpower users who followed her in saw their master hurt and immediately attacked Su Mo.
It was as if Su Mo’s back had eyes, an unexpected daring act from her. When she turned around, she saw a fist coming at her and a phantom image foretelling where the punch would land.
"Anticipation?..." Su Mo mumbled. It was her new Skill. She simply dodged the phantom image, circumvented the man’s reach, and a Flat Pot appeared in her hand which she used to brutally knock him on the head.
The remaining three didn’t even require her attention. Jianxiong’s Level 3 aura flared up, immediately causing two of them to spit out blood. One, who was older, stood firm like a mountain, only a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
His Level 3 superpower was hidden well, but...
His gaze shifted to a bespectacled man sitting on the couch, who had just been momentarily controlled.
This was a den of wolves.
"Miss, let’s go," the man said gravely as he helped the one knocked out by the Flat Pot up from the floor.
Lu Yuan shakily stood up, her Thunder more fierce, filled with indignant humiliation, "Four superpower users, and you still can’t beat her?"
Su Mo saw a man walking towards them from outside, her expression darkened as she immediately sat back down on the couch, glanced at the Thunder Whip in Lu Yuan’s hand and said with a smile, "If I were you, I wouldn’t whip down."
"What do you think you are!" Lu Yuan, relentless, lashed the whip towards Su Mo.
This time, Su Mo just sat there boldly. She had anticipated the trajectory of the whip but didn’t move at all.
In front of her, a huge Ice Shield appeared out of nowhere. The Thunder Whip struck the shield and instantly dispersed.
Lu Chen entered the room with a chilling face, his aura terrifying.
Even the Level 3 superpower user took a step back, his brow furrowed as he concealed the shock in his heart, unable to see through the newcomer’s Superpower Level.
Su Mo smiled and waved at Lu Chen, got up, and walked over to hug his waist coquettishly, "Where have you been?"
Lu Chen was slightly angry. He lifted her chin, his fingers pressing lightly, "Why didn’t you dodge?"
Of course, it was to let you see your rival hit me, Su Mo thought to herself, but her face carried a coquettish and pleasing expression, "I saw you."
How could he not see her little scheme? When he met those moist, large eyes, his anger dissipated directly. He seemed to somewhat enjoy her deliberately pleasing behavior and said softly, "Next time, just hit back."
"...Oh," Su Mo pouted.
After several months, this was Lu Yuan’s first encounter with Lu Chen. She suppressed her superpower and, with girlish shyness, called out, "Brother Lu."
Lu Chen frowned and gave her a strict glance. That face, similar to Lu Youwei, disgusted him, "Get out."
"I’m Lu Yuan, Brother Lu! I even visited you at the Jiang Residence before," Lu Yuan said incredulously as she approached them, pointing the blame towards the triumphant Su Mo in his arms, "You vixen? What’s so good about her?"
"If you already call me a vixen, then of course I’m first-rate at enchanting," Su Mo was not the least bit offended by the nickname. She even deliberately rubbed her face on his chest.
"You! Get out," Lu Yuan demanded, dressed up carefully in a pink dress that accentuated her curves, her black hair messed up from Su Mo’s earlier grasp.
"Achoo!" Su Mo sneezed loudly again and sniffed her nose.
Lu Chen’s expression was icy cold, his eyes impatient, "Had enough? Then get lost."
He glanced down at Su Mo, who was lightly dressed and only wearing a coat. Without a second thought, he picked her up and headed upstairs, disregarding the shouts behind him.
The men that followed looked up the stairs once, then directly grabbed Lu Yuan by the arm and dragged her away without an explanation.
"Why didn’t you wear more?" he placed her on the bed.
"Didn’t have time, where were you?" Su Mo avoided asking about Lu Yuan and turned away from him to change her clothes.
Her back was covered with a dense cluster of kiss marks, darkening Lu Chen’s gaze instantly. He turned his eyes away, "Went to Aunt Jiang’s."
Su Mo fastened her buttons and turned her head to speak to him, "We need to go out and kill zombies, Aunt Jiang needs a large quantity of ingredients."
"Let’s rest for today, want to go out for a walk?" he sat by the bed, pulling her into his embrace, she deserved to rest well after the long journey with him.
"Sure," Su Mo kissed his chin, "It just so happens that I need to get a couple of outfits for Ling Ye."
"Mhm," Lu Chen captured her lips, kissing her deeply.
When Su Mo came downstairs, Lu Yuan was no longer in the living room.
A few people were seated around the round table.
"Let’s have steamed buns this morning, and we’ll have something nicer for lunch," Su Mo instructed Lu Chen to take out three plates of steamed buns from the ’Space’ and put them on the round table, inviting everyone to have breakfast.
Ling Ye was already full from eating bread, but the scent of meat tempted him to take one anyway.
Su Mo was quite satisfied with his change, smiling at him, "You’ll go shopping with sister later, okay?"
Ling Ye looked up at Su Niang and seeing her pleased expression, he nodded his agreement.
"You guys should join us too," after Su Mo had a few buns, Lu Chen force-fed her some more until she repeatedly shook her head to refuse.
Zhao Changsheng watched their intimate interaction, feeling a bit upset, she looked away, "I won’t go."
Li Qian wiped his mouth and spoke gently, "I’ll stay home."
Su Niang also nodded, "I’m too old for the hustle, just walking around is enough for me."
Jianxiong had originally wanted to go but felt like a third wheel, so he grudgingly said, "I... I’ll go train with Hu Ding."
Su Mo shrugged, guess it would just be the three of them then.
The place she was currently at was the innermost First Ring, inhabited by military families and some researchers, and everything was delivered by assigned personnel.
However, considering her interests, Lu Chen personally took her and Ling Ye to the Second Ring, a place for superpower users, which was further divided into tiers and zones.
Su Mo sat in the passenger seat, looking curiously at Lu Chen driving, "Where are we going to explore?"
"Second Ring," Lu Chen responded succinctly. After he drove out of the First Ring, he parked the car, stored it in the ’Space’, and took Su Mo’s hand.
Su Mo followed him, looking back at Ling Ye who stayed back and stretched a hand toward him, "What are you waiting for? I won’t save you if you get kidnapped."
"..." Ling Ye gave her a glance, and eventually trotted over to take her hand...
