CHAPTER 174: CHAPTER 174: YOU’RE A FOUR-SYSTEM SUPERPOWER USER NOW?

Bai Yulin was unwilling to accept it.

He quickly drew the blade in his hand across his arm, activating his superpower at the same time.

"Hiss—" The intense pain made him gasp, unable to believe it as he looked at the girl standing not far away.

Her face still bore a smile, without any movement.

Yet her gaze towards him carried disdain and mockery.

"You..."

"Didn’t expect your superpower to fail, did you?" Ji Ning somehow took out a regular ballpoint pen from her pocket.

It was left behind by Bai Xiaotang at some point, so she casually threw it into her space.

Ji Ning wielded the pen like a knife, seemingly casually making a few strokes in the air, resulting in a few more wounds on Bai Yulin’s body.

The pain drenched him in cold sweat, a muffled groan escaping from his throat.

Ji Ning put away the pen, chuckling softly, "Your superpower might fool some low-level superpower users, but faced with absolute strength, it’s merely child’s play, easily crushed. Bai Yusen spares you out of childhood sentiments, but people shouldn’t mistake their identity, especially when indebted to others and living under someone else’s roof. Don’t you agree?"

Bai Yulin bit down hard on his molars. He hated the phrase "indebted to others, living under someone else’s roof" the most in his life, and Ji Ning hit the nail on the head.

He was furious and wanted to kill the person in front of him, but he knew he was not her match at all.

Chang Ru’s conjecture was incorrect, this woman was not only powerful but also a high-level superpower user.

Ji Ning walked over slowly, looking down at Bai Yulin.

"Although Bai Xiaotang is a bit foolish, she treats everyone with genuine kindness. Such a benevolent person being trampled on by someone like you, you think you’re so powerful, don’t you? Unfortunately, I’m quite protective, and Bai Xiaotang happens to be under my protection. If you dare to touch her, be prepared for retaliation."

At this moment, Ji Ning’s voice was like the reaper from hell, turning Bai Yulin’s resentment into terror, especially as the agony from his body deepened his fear.

"Don’t worry, I won’t take your life. I prefer using one’s own methods against them. If Bai Xiaotang were in a car accident, where would she get hurt? Experience it first."

"Ah—"

***

Bai Yusen looked at Bai Yulin, who was like a pile of soft mud on the ground, without saying anything.

He merely said to Ji Ning, "You didn’t have to go this far for Tangtang."

Although Ji Ning didn’t take his life, she’s left him crippled.

If investigated thoroughly, even as a superpower user, Ji Ning would face the consequences of the safety zone’s laws.

"Don’t worry, he won’t remember who crippled him."

Ji Ning wiped her hands and threw the paper towel into a nearby trash bin.

Bai Yusen paused, then looked carefully at Bai Yulin, whose eyes now lacked any sparkle, like he’d lost his soul.

A sudden chill ran up Bai Yusen’s spine.

He looked at Ji Ning again in disbelief, seemingly struck speechless.

Ji Ning was already lying on the sofa, rubbing her brow wearily, her voice faint, "Are you scared?"

"..."

"Don’t worry, after I rest a bit, you won’t be afraid soon either."

Bai Yusen’s body paused, his voice altered slightly, "You’re... you’re going to... do this to me too?"

Ji Ning laughed lightly, "There’s no need."

Bai Yusen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn’t offended her.

On the long sofa, Ji Ning had closed her eyes, resting, with one arm casually draped over her eyes.

Bai Yusen asked, "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine, I didn’t sleep all night."

Bai Yusen nodded slightly and sat beside her, somewhat curious, "With this, you’re a four-system superpower user? How did you train to become four-system?"

"Talent." Ji Ning’s voice was soft, as if she wanted to rest.

Bai Yusen wasn’t lacking in judgment, and he got up to leave, taking the half-dead Bai Yulin with him.

Although they grew up together, their relationship wasn’t as close as outsiders perceived.

Bai Yulin awakened his superpower when he was young, and his parents valued him greatly, treating him like a biological son. Back then, Bai Yulin wasn’t as distressingly obsessive as he was now until his parents died in an accident.

He never returned to the Bai Family, instead moving to the villa next to it, a house that his parents bought for him when he turned 18.

Bai Yusen had no right to reclaim it, nor did he intend to.

"Family Head..." Aunt Zeng, who had been waiting outside the house, looked at Bai Yusen with concern.

Bai Yusen carried Bai Yulin with a calm demeanor, "Get her a quilt to cover her."

Aunt Zeng nodded slightly.

Although she didn’t know what happened inside, seeing Bai Yulin, pale and with blood seeping from his mouth, she understood that Miss Ji had taken action.

She had indeed inflicted serious damage on Bai Yulin.

It’s important to note that Bai Yulin’s superpower reached rank 8, making him one of Beijing’s top contenders. Because of him, the Bai Family hadn’t been crushed by other noble families when the two young heirs were still weak.

At that time, she was grateful that the Bai Family had these two siblings, one scholarly, one martial, supporting the family.

But at some point, Bai Yulin became increasingly gloomy, his attitude more hostile towards the Bai siblings, instead growing closer to that cousin Miss.

She wondered if that cousin Miss influenced him.

Either way, she didn’t like that cousin Miss.

Aunt Zeng thought for a while at the door and walked into the room with a thin blanket.

In the sofa area, Ji Ning lay still as if asleep, yet Aunt Zeng, being a Spiritual Ability User, could keenly sense her energy fluctuating, sometimes violent, sometimes calm.

This kind of situation seemed like an impending superpower outburst!

Aunt Zeng was startled, quickly walking over to try waking Ji Ning.

Just as she reached out, a hard hand grasped her wrist.

A pair of blood-red eyes stared at her, the voice as cold as the depths of winter, "What are you trying to do?"

Aunt Zeng felt as though a sharp weapon was pressed against her throat, if she dared to make a move, she would be bloodied on the spot.

"I... I saw it seemed like your energy was going to erupt..."

Ji Ning’s breath was somewhat unstable, the crimson in her eyes looked terrifying, Aunt Zeng shivered, clutching the blanket tightly, "I... I came to bring you a blanket... It wasn’t... my intention to disturb your rest."

Ji Ning furrowed her brow, her voice escaping through clenched teeth, "Get out!"

"Yes..."

Aunt Zeng felt the terrifying aura suddenly dissipate, and she fled as if granted amnesty, even with her legs so weak they nearly made her trip.

Too terrifying.

That girl was too terrifying.

Once the door was closed, Ji Ning’s expressionless face suddenly took on a look of enduring some sort of painful struggle.

Veins popped on her neck, seeming to have some black substance flowing through her blood vessels.

A red line appeared on her wrist, growing darker, turning purple, then black.

Ji Ning gritted her molars, pulled off an earring, and grasped it in her palm, while a layer of white light appeared on her hands, channeling it into her body.

After an indeterminate duration, the crimson in Ji Ning’s eyes gradually faded, the purple veins vanished, leaving only faint traces of bruising.

Ji Ning opened her tightly clenched hand, revealing a blood-stained earring in her mangled palm.

The earring, dulled from long wear, now seemed rejuvenated, shining as if freshly polished.

Ji Ning wiped the blood off the earring with a tissue and put it back in her ear.
