"What are you doing... wait, what's wrong with you?" Chen Jiaxuan said with dissatisfaction, but suddenly looked at Su Bingyan with wide eyes and covered her mouth, almost exclaiming in surprise.
"What I mean is, don't bother Ling Yun!" Su Bingyan had just finished speaking when she saw the shocked look in her eyes. She involuntarily took a step back and looked down at herself: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You...you...how did you become a vampire?" Chen Jiaxuan exclaimed in shock, her milky-white, luminous spiritual energy field involuntarily surging from her body to defend against Su Bingyan's dark aura. But what shocked her even more was that Su Bingyan showed no disgust or fear towards the spiritual energy field. Instead, she looked at Chen Jiaxuan's holy aura with curiosity and asked, "What vampire? I'm not! Is this your Arbiter's luminous spiritual energy field?"
"Yes, be careful! Don't touch it with your hands, or you'll be burned by the holy light!" Chen Jiaxuan hurriedly shouted, but it was too late. Su Bingyan's fingers had just touched the holy light. Chen Jiaxuan panicked. Although she didn't know why Su Bingyan possessed dark energy, the holy light had an extremely domineering nature. It would mercilessly burn away the dark energy and its carrier. This was a manifestation of the uncompromising nature of light towards darkness.
But Chen Jiaxuan's eyes widened again immediately. Su Bingyan's finger had already entered the holy light, but nothing had changed. It was as if it had simply disappeared into the air. There was even a strange expression on the girl's face, as if she was enjoying something.
"This...this is impossible!" Chen Jiaxuan muttered to herself, but she immediately saw another incredible scene. A faint silver light also surged from Su Bingyan's body. Although it was weak, Chen Jiaxuan could still tell at a glance that it was a mental energy field.
"Oh my god!" Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but groan, utterly defeated. She felt as if her brain had short-circuited. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, the judgmental girl would have thought she was dreaming—no, even in a dream, she couldn't have imagined such an absurd scene. Her friend Su Bingyan was just an ordinary person a moment ago, but after coming out, she had become a superhuman, possessing a mental force field? Good heavens, could Ling Yun have the ability to create superhumans, processing an ordinary person and turning them into a superhuman?
"So be it, I'm a superpowered person," Chen Jiaxuan said with a wry smile. But when had she ever seen a mental energy field that could coexist with the aura of darkness? Moreover, for the first time in thousands of years, the dark energy had become unafraid of the aura of holy light, and even coexisted harmoniously with it. This was even more unbelievable than seeing a mouse hugging and kissing a cat.
"What do you mean 'impossible'? You're surprised that I've become an ability user like you? I haven't even mentioned you yet. You've been hiding it so well, not even letting me slip a word. And I'm supposed to be your good friend." Su Bingyan looked at Chen Jiaxuan, who looked like she couldn't breathe, with a smug expression. Usually, she was the one who was choked to death by Chen Jiaxuan, but now she finally saw Chen Jiaxuan taste this feeling, and she couldn't help but feel very happy. She wasn't afraid of the holy light at all, and directly put her slender hands into the holy light to tickle Chen Jiaxuan's skin.
"Hehe, stop fooling around!" Chen Jiaxuan was most afraid of her like this. She giggled and snuggled into Su Bingyan's arms. The two beautiful girls were playing around, creating a unique and beautiful scene.
"How did you become a vampire... I said you were a superhuman." Chen Jiaxuan was still concerned about Su Bingyan's secret, and the fact that the dark energy was immune to holy light also made her uneasy. Arbiters and dark creatures were mortal enemies, with no room for reconciliation. At first, she thought Su Bingyan had been turned into a vampire's vassal, and she was shocked. It wasn't until she saw Su Bingyan's mental field that she realized that wasn't the case, and she was relieved. But a stone remained in her heart, and she wanted to understand what had happened.
Su Bingyan thought for a moment and said, "I can tell you because Ling Yun didn't ask me to keep quiet. But Jiaxuan, can you keep this a secret? After all, I'm not the same person I used to be. Although my mind and body are still the same, I have some things I didn't have before, and they might affect the Arbiter's judgment, just like you started to see me as a vampire. But you should know that I'm not. Although I have dark energy, I only have pure dark power attributes, which is fundamentally different from dark creatures. Actually, I don't understand these things either; Ling Yun told me all of this."
“I can keep your secret, but you must stay by my side at all times.” Chen Jiaxuan showed a rare serious expression for the first time. “Otherwise, you will be mistaken for a vassal of vampires. Of course, the Arbitration Council is not an unreasonable place. I will explain your situation to the Chief Arbitrator, and he will definitely handle it properly. Vampires are not only the enemies of the Arbitration Council, but also the common enemies of all of us humans. In fact, with your identity, you are the most effective fighter against dark forces. I think the Chief Arbitrator will be very interested in you.”
“I don’t have such lofty ambitions, Jiaxuan. You know I’m just a woman who’s content with whatever comes my way. I want to marry someone I love and live a peaceful life, without any more fighting and killing. That’s my ideal. But… if you insist, I’m not really interested in staying here anyway. Doing something might help pass the time.” Su Bingyan sighed softly and then relayed what Ling Yun had just told her.
Whether or not she becomes a superhuman is not what the girl cares about. For Su Bingyan, love is life. However, now she has everything, but love is still not going well. Ling Yun, are you just a passerby in the end? Thinking of this, a trace of sadness can't help but rise in Su Bingyan's heart again.
Chen Jiaxuan's mouth dropped open, and she almost felt like she couldn't breathe. Su Bingyan had no concept of superhumans, so she didn't think anything of it when Ling Yun transformed her into one. But Chen Jiaxuan was different. She was a natural superhuman, and a natural superhuman with a bright spiritual field, one of the most special superhumans in the world. Of course, she understood the unparalleled shock involved.
If Su Bingyan's fearlessness of the holy light and the coexistence of her mental energy field and dark energy had previously shocked her, then now, Chen Jiaxuan felt as if her soul was beginning to leave her body. The impact brought by Ling Yun was more and more shocking. If we were to describe the impact, it would be like a highly advanced alien civilization suddenly visiting the governments of various countries on Earth, and the impact it caused would be extraordinary.
"You're saying Ling Yun can... adjust your genes, transforming the toxins in your body into dark energy that isn't afraid of holy light?" Chen Jiaxuan's voice trembled slightly. As an arbitrator who directly apprenticed under the Arbitrator Chief and possessed exceptional talent, she was one of the most promising newcomers in the Arbitration Institute. She was well-informed and naturally understood what it meant to be able to adjust the genes of a superhuman. This would mean that Ling Yun was a unique individual in the world, and might even become the enemy of superhumans.
Su Bingyan nodded in surprise, completely at a loss for words looking at Chen Jiaxuan's agitated appearance. She had never seen Chen Jiaxuan so emotionally out of control before, and her heart couldn't help but race. She asked hesitantly, "What's wrong, Jiaxuan? Are you alright?"
Chen Jiaxuan composed herself and said solemnly, "It's okay, Bingyan. I'm telling you, this is something only you and I know. We can't tell anyone, not even your brother. We'll stick to the same story. To the outside world, you'll say that you're the one I discovered who has a naturally mutated ability. We're sisters. If this news gets out, Lingyun will probably face annihilation. You don't want your sweetheart to become an enemy of all superhumans, do you?"
Su Bingyan covered her cherry-like mouth, her phoenix eyes revealing boundless terror: "You said it would harm Lingyun? No way, Jiaxuan, are you trying to scare me, or are you serious?"
Chen Jiaxuan said irritably, "Scare you? If you don't believe me, go around spreading rumors all over the street and see who gets the short end of the stick, their good intentions taken for granted."
Su Bingyan nodded repeatedly in fright: "I believe you, I believe you, okay? Jiaxuan, don't scare me. Lingyun saved me. What am I supposed to do if he gets hurt again because of me?" As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance in the direction of the single cabin. If Lingyun were implicated because of her, the girl would undoubtedly feel extremely distressed.
Chapter 419 Plan Failure
Chen Jiaxuan glanced at her: "You're still thinking about your little lover. Don't worry, he's a high-level expert now. Except for a very few people, no one can hurt him. Just keep a low profile in the future and don't release your spiritual field rashly. Just act like an ordinary person, and everything will be fine. I'll talk to the chief arbitrator. From now on, you'll follow me and be my little follower, doing whatever I say." As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh again.
Su Bingyan knew that Chen Jiaxuan was deliberately trying to scare her, so she immediately relaxed. However, she did not play around with Chen Jiaxuan. Instead, she sighed and said, "I don't care if I die. I just don't want to cause trouble for Yun. He saved my life. Whether he wants me or not, I belong to him. I can die for him if he needs me. If I implicate him because of me, Jiaxuan, I will wish I were dead. Do you understand?"
Chen Jiaxuan slowly put away her giggling smile, looked at her with her beautiful eyes, and sighed softly: "You, I don't know what to say about you. You seem so nice, but you're just a romantic. You seem to see through things, but you don't see through anything at all. But then again, that kid Ling Yun is really quite likable. If I didn't have such a devout faith in God, I probably would have fallen for him too."
Su Bingyan looked at her, then suddenly lowered her head and said, "Jiaxuan, I'll follow you in believing in the Lord too. If I can't have Him, I think I'll still suffer in the end. It's better to find a spiritual pillar to support myself."
"You should give up," Chen Jiaxuan glanced at her disdainfully. "Becoming a believer doesn't mean becoming a nun. Why do you seem like you've seen through the illusions of the world? You might as well find a nunnery and become a nun."
"Go to hell!" Su Bingyan's eyebrows shot up, and she finally unleashed her fury, chasing and beating Chen Jiaxuan all over the cabin.
Inside the cabin, Lingling was still pretending to be unconscious and lying on the bed. Lingyun didn't think much of it and directly placed his hand on her full chest. A flash of silver light entered Lingling's body, and his microscopic perception instantly spread to every part of her body to carefully check the condition inside her body.
Lingling originally intended to scare him with a prank, but after waiting for a while, she suddenly felt a large hand pressing against her chest. There was no one else in the room besides Lingyun, so the hand naturally belonged to Lingyun.
The girl was both surprised and shy. She had originally intended to sit up suddenly to startle Ling Yun, but for some reason, after Ling Yun's hand touched her, Lingling suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over her, making her feel limp and unable to move. She even seemed to be looking forward to Ling Yun's touch...
Lingling suddenly felt a surge of anger for no reason. She finally knew what Lingyun and Su Bingyan had been doing in the private room. She couldn't help but think angrily: This guy is too promiscuous, touching a girl's breasts in the room... I must expose his wolfish ambitions. The girl thought to herself, but she didn't realize that she was letting Lingyun do whatever he wanted.
Fortunately, Ling Yun was not a lecherous rogue. He didn't even need to put his hand inside Li Lingling's body. He could detect the clues directly from Lingling's mental field. The perception quickly returned, and the result showed that everything was normal.
Ling Yun's expression became quite interesting. The sensory detection couldn't be wrong, so why did Lingling faint? His mind raced, but he couldn't figure out the reason. He considered all the possibilities, but he never thought that Li Lingling was faking it.
While Ling Yun was deep in thought, he forgot to remove his hand from Li Lingling's chest, and even unconsciously touched her smooth and extremely full breasts, muttering to himself, "What's going on? What's going on?" He was completely unaware that the girl under his hand had become breathing rapidly, her cheeks were flushed, and even her tightly closed eyes had slightly opened, revealing a teasing and hesitant look as she looked at Ling Yun.
Unbeknownst to them, an alluring atmosphere permeated the cabin. A dazed young man and a stunningly beautiful young woman filled the small room with an air of ambiguity.
Ling Yun was completely oblivious. Seeing his dazed expression, Lingling finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. Ling Yun was immediately startled and trembled, quickly pulling his hand back from her chest, looking as if he'd been caught taking advantage of the girl while she was unconscious.
"Are you alright, Lingling? You scared me half to death." Ling Yunzhong asked, still in a daze, the warm scent of Li Lingling's chest lingering in his palm, making him yearn for her.
Lingling and Su Bingyan have different feelings. Bingyan brings a quiet beauty that is pleasing to the eye, making people marvel at her beauty. Lingling, on the other hand, has a volcanic allure in her icy beauty, making people want to kiss her. If Lingyun had not become a superhuman and had not been able to control his emotions so well, he probably would have already succumbed to the temptation and pounced on her.
Li Lingling giggled and sat up in bed: "I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to see what you and Bingyan were doing in the room. Now I finally understand, you were stealing my kiss!"
Ling Yun came to his senses and realized that Li Lingling had lied to him. He said irritably, "You scared me to death! Do you think I'd be in the mood for stealing kisses? Didn't you realize I was testing your mental field? And you still have the nerve to joke with me? You must have nothing better to do."
Li Lingling pouted, "Who knows what you and she were doing in the room? I was just worried about you. You really care about me that much?" Although she said that, she felt sweet inside. Ling Yun was quite frightened by her and was obviously still worried about her.
Ling Yun suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit off. It seemed that if things continued like this, he would end up having an ambiguous relationship with Lingling. He had never had any improper thoughts about Li Lingling. Now that he knew that the girl's heart was still tied to him, his heart was naturally heavy. Apart from Xiao Rou, no one else could enter Ling Yun's heart. So, if he had any tangled relationships with other women, it would not only hurt Xiao Rou, but also hurt these devoted women.
By now, Lingyun has become very mature in matters of the heart. He knows what he should and shouldn't do. In this world, love is always selfish. No woman would allow someone else to share her beloved. The same goes for men. Lingyun understands Xiaorou's heart and will naturally not do anything to hurt her, whether Xiaorou is present or not.
"Lingling, after we return to China, would you like to go to the Superpower Headquarters for further training?" Ling Yun said after thinking for a moment.
“If you go, I’ll go,” Li Lingling said without hesitation.
Ling Yun smiled helplessly and changed the subject: "Lingling, how long has it been since we chatted like this? When I was in Hong Kong, I met Yunfeng and learned about your situation from him. You've changed, Lingling, you've really changed. Since I rescued you from the ancient tomb, I never imagined that the Yin spirit would merge into your body and even change your genes, turning you into a superhuman."
Actually, he didn't realize that it was a Yin spirit that modified Lingling's genes, but his microscopic perception did reveal that Li Lingling had become a superhuman. This was inexplicable, and even Yu Xiujie back then couldn't figure out the reason, so how could Ling Yun? Therefore, he could only guess that it was a change caused by the Yin spirit merging into Lingling's body. This change wasn't instantaneous, but rather occurred slowly, which is why Lingling developed superhuman abilities after starting university.
