But Fu Ying reached out and blocked the way, and Zhou Xuan kissed her hand instead.
Fu Ying snorted. "Aren't you going to tell me?" she asked.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Yingying, I told you before that I have some special abilities, and I didn't want to hide it from you, but you didn't want me to tell you back then!"
“I know, I’ve known that for a long time. You can heal my injuries without anyone noticing, right? At the bottom of the sinkhole, I was shot in the hand by Ito’s Mizuo in the underground river, and the injury was so severe. But when I woke up that night, the injury was completely healed. Even in the most advanced hospital, you couldn’t heal so quickly!”
Fu Ying said reproachfully, "I knew you had some special abilities back then, but I was always worried about you. Because I knew you hadn't trained, and if you were to fight someone, you'd definitely be at a disadvantage. Remember when we were attacked by a bunch of thugs in Chongkou? I could tell then that you didn't know martial arts. It was the same in America, and after we returned to China, in Luoyang, in Beijing, wherever we were, I was with you. This time, when my parents were kidnapped, I was worried so much that I didn't tell you, because you'd always be with me. And if you went to Somalia, wouldn't that be like delivering goods to my door? But now..."
Fu Ying said so much in one breath, then shook her head and said, "But now, I really don't understand you. Are you lying to me?"
"Yingying!" Zhou Xuan cupped Fu Ying's face in his hands, making her face him, and then said in a deep voice, "Yingying, you know, you are the most important person in my life. I have no intention of hiding anything from you. I have some special abilities, which I don't even know about my parents and siblings. I don't tell them because I don't want them to worry. I just want them to live in peace. But you are different."
Fu Ying struggled, but couldn't break free; of course, it was just a feigned movement. Then she forced herself to say, "How am I different?"
Zhou Xuan sighed, and then said, "Yingying, I can ignore everything else, but I can never live without you, because you are the person I want to protect and love for the rest of my life. I will not do anything to betray you, nor will I lie to you."
Fu Ying looked somewhat dazed and said softly, "What you said just made me happy!"
Seeing that Fu Ying's expression had relaxed, Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Yingying, if you're not afraid of being mushy, I'll say these things to you every day!"
"Get lost, I'm already feeling nauseous!" Fu Ying couldn't stand Zhou Xuan's shamelessness and finally pushed him away.
Zhou Xuan chuckled, then took Fu Ying's small hand and sat down next to her, saying, "Yingying, let me tell you, I don't actually possess any martial arts skills. I only have a special ability. I call it 'Ice Qi Ability'!"
"Ice-based superpower? What is that? Does such a power really exist in this world?" Fu Ying's cheesy feelings vanished, but Zhou Xuan's words instantly piqued her curiosity even more!
"I don't know if it's an ability or not, but I do know that this is an ability that doesn't exist in our world!" Zhou Xuan said, looking down at his left hand. He then held his left hand out to Fu Ying and said, "Yingying, look, this is the superpower I gained from this left hand!"
Fu Ying curiously grabbed Zhou Xuan's left hand and examined it closely, but after a long time she couldn't see anything different. She asked, "What's different about it?"
Zhou Xuan chuckled and said, "Of course, it's impossible to tell just by looking at it like that." With that, he channeled his icy energy, releasing the icy energy from the pill into his palm. In that instant, his left hand shone with golden light!
Fu Ying was stunned. She turned Zhou Xuan's hand over and examined it closely, exclaiming in surprise, "You... is your hand made of flesh or gold?"
"Of course it's meat!" Zhou Xuan withdrew the icy aura, and his left hand quickly returned to its normal shape. Fu Ying was extremely surprised and asked again, "How did you do that? Did it just change color?"
Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "Of course it's not just about changing color. I estimate that this ability is related to gold, because my ability can transform any substance into the form of gold, but this form can only exist for about six hours. After six hours, the substance that has been transformed into gold will revert to its original form!"
"Really?" Fu Ying bit her lip, Zhou Xuan's words surprised her greatly!
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly, glanced at the dressing table in Fu Ying's room, where there were many small bottles and boxes of cosmetics, and with a wave of his left hand, he casually transformed three or four of her cosmetic boxes into gold pieces. In an instant, the dressing table was glittering with gold.
Fu Ying got up and walked over. She picked up the items and examined them one by one; they were heavy in her hands. They were clearly genuine gold. Opening the lids, she saw that the powder and oil inside had also turned golden, becoming gold itself. She touched it with her finger; she couldn't dig it out. Clearly, it wasn't the original powder and oil anymore!
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Yingying, don't be too happy yet. This golden form can only last for six hours. After six hours, it will return to its original form!"
Fu Ying was stunned for a long time before asking blankly, "But what does your ability to transform gold have to do with healing and martial arts?"
Zhou Xuan sighed and said, "Yingying, my ice energy ability can heal diseases and injuries, and it's very powerful. I can cure diseases that hospitals can't treat, such as cancer and gunshot wounds. But ice energy has one bad problem!"
Fu Ying asked in surprise, "What bad things could such powerful ice energy have?"
Zhou Xuan frowned and said, "Because this ice energy consumes gold. Think about it, if it uses gold as food, who can afford to provide it?"
Fu Ying asked in surprise, "Is that so?"
"See!" Zhou Xuan waved his left hand, and the golden box in Fu Ying's hand disappeared in an instant!
Fu Ying was taken aback, then looked at the dressing table again, where the items that had been transformed into gold had also vanished into thin air!
Zhou Xuan took another glass bottle from the dressing table, held it up to Fu Ying, and smiled. "Yingying, look!" she said.
He then inserted five fingers into the glass bottle, and then took his fingers out, leaving five finger holes in the bottle.
Fu Ying was taken aback. This was the same move she had used when sparring with Lu Liang in the garden. While a glass bottle lacked the solidity of a stone, it was harder. Breaking a glass bottle was easy, but creating a smooth, unbroken hole was extremely difficult! (To find out what happens next, please visit the website for more chapters and support the author.)

"How did you do that?" Staring intently at the bottle, he asked, "What else could this be but Wu Mu?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Yingying, let me tell you, the disaster was just that the glass in the mouth of these tear-shaped objects was transformed into yellow, and then swallowed up, so these tear-shaped objects appeared. Because the time was short, almost a month, it looked to you as if I had picked them out with my hands!"
Sa Ying suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand! You transformed the power of the 'jujube' into a yellow token, and then devoured it. The stone bench was the same. Using this method, you grabbed five hands from it, then transformed some power from the stone to separate it. After you devoured the yellow token, the stone bench shattered into pieces, and you smashed it to pieces with your bare hands!"
Fu Ying understood. Zhou Xuantu smiled at her and didn't say anything more.
Fu Ying thought for a moment and then asked, "So what did you do to those thieves on that island in Somalia?"
Zhou Xuan paused, then said in a deep voice, "Yingying, in Somalia, this was my first time killing someone. I transformed their brains into demonic energy and then devoured them. That's why even with Ye's advanced equipment, they couldn't determine the cause of their deaths, but they could tell that their brains were gone and their bellies were empty!"
Fu Ying paused, then grasped Zhou Xuan's hand and said softly, "Zhou Xuan, I'm sorry. I know you did all this for me!"
Zhou Xuan laughed sloppily: "A full basin is nothing. Everything is just a process. Those pirates committed all sorts of evil deeds; they deserved to die. It's no big deal!"
Moved, Shen Ying nestled against Zhou Xuan and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Why are you crying again? Zhou Xuan cupped the tears on Sui Ying's face, but noticed that although she was crying, she had a smile on her face. This expression was really strange.
Fu Ying wiped away her tears and said, "I'm not upset, I'm actually happy!"
"Happy and crying! The female horn's expressions are truly rich and varied!" Zhou Xuan added. "Yingying, do you know, the reason I acquired this unique ability was because of the place where I first met you. Do you know where that was?"
"Where did you first meet?" Fu Ying thought for a moment and immediately replied, "Was it that amusement park in Chongkou?"
"Hehehe!" Zhou Xuan chuckled. "It's right there. Do you remember? When I swam to the bottom of the cave, you followed me and gave me a fright. It was in one of those little holes that a sea turtle bit my left hand. I also found a yellow stone in that little hole. My superpower comes from that stone, just like your grandfather's stone!"
Sa Ying was quite surprised: "My grandfather's stone was one too?"
