Chapter 1117: Chapter 358: Power Unleashed, Rule Modification, Rule Creation
"The grandmother who took care of her passed away before she traveled through time. She returned three years later, was discovered by us, and then moved here to live." Wang Luo explained.
"She’s a pitiful person," Mu Rufeng said softly.
Wang Luo nodded slightly, then knocked on the door.
"Wang Xin, are you awake? I have something to discuss with you, may I come in?" Wang Luo spoke.
"Come in, Group Leader Wang."
A somewhat hoarse and weak-sounding voice replied.
Then, with a "click," the door opened.
Mu Rufeng looked inside and saw a girl with atrophied muscles sitting in a wheelchair.
The girl’s face was a bit odd, not because she looked strange, but because her facial muscles created a rather unpleasant appearance.
However, it was evident that if the girl’s face were in a normal state, she would probably be considered quite beautiful.
The door to this room was voice-activated as well; otherwise, given Wang Xin’s state, she would not have been able to open it.
Mu Rufeng could see that Wang Xin’s right leg was relatively normal compared to other parts, though still much thinner than an average person’s.
Behind her stood another woman, a nurse by profession, tasked with caring for Wang Xin.
"Wang Xin, this is Mu Rufeng." Wang Luo introduced.
"Yes, I’ve read his file, and I heard the previous rule notification too."
"An Ordinary World shouldn’t have Extraordinary Power, yet Deputy Group Leader Mu not only possesses it but can also create rules. It seems you have many secrets yourself."
"What brings you both here today? Or do you want me to kill a black-armored man to regain my ability, and then search out the remaining hidden ones?"
"Let me be clear, after I regain my ability, I will only draw two paintings a month; more than that, it’s too tiring, and I don’t want to be that exhausted," Wang Xin stated.
"Little sister, you’ve guessed wrong, I’m not here for that," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
"Little sister? Do you know how old I am this year? You’re calling me little sister?" Wang Xin looked Mu Rufeng up and down as she spoke.
"Oh? Little sister, do you know how old I am?" Mu Rufeng continued smiling.
"I don’t know how old you are, but I am already one hundred and ninety-eight years old this year, do you think calling me little sister is appropriate?" Wang Xin replied with a smile.
However, this smile was very odd.
"One hundred and ninety-eight years old? Looking at your face, you should still be in high school, no? Did you travel through time for over a hundred years?" Mu Rufeng asked.
This time, before Wang Xin could respond, Wang Luo chimed in, "Yes, Wang Xin is indeed one hundred and ninety-eight this year, and she traveled to an Otherworld."
"Her awakened ability allowed her family’s power to continually extend her life until just before her return."
"Well, what a coincidence, I’ve traveled for a thousand years, so calling you little sister shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Mu Rufeng said with a light smile.
Even though, yes, his actual age was only in his twenties, that didn’t stop him from claiming to be older.
Wang Xin paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, I see, thousand-year-old monster, but you’re still no match for a ten-thousand-year-old Demon."
"Please forgive her, Wang Xin tends to have a sharp tongue," Wang Luo said, shaking his head slightly.
It was obvious now, the ten-thousand-year-old Demon referred to Wang Luo.
"Haha, this young girl is quite cute," Mu Rufeng laughed heartily.
"Cute? Your whole family is cute! Which eye of yours sees me as cute?" Wang Xin retorted unceremoniously.
Wang Xin’s original character wasn’t like this; she should have been more introverted, more timid.
But over the hundred-plus years of her journey, she developed this personality. After returning, she was unable to change it.
It seems that developing this personality was the reason she didn’t seek death for over a hundred years after her travel.
No, maybe it’s not certain. Perhaps she wanted to seek death but couldn’t, so she became someone who retorted at everything.
After all, with such a body, she had no hope of survival. Just when she finally reincarnated, she still suffered from a disease similar to polio.
Unable to move, unable to live as a normal person, eat, and so on.
In this state, her heart was like dead ashes, longing for death, but due to her ability, her family elders from the Otherworld forcibly prevented her from committing suicide.
They also used Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to extend her life for over a hundred years. What kind of torment was this? So, she could only vent her emotions through cursing.
