Chapter 201 Mermaid Reef 01
Did another male flirt with Ye Xi'an without his knowledge?
“He is the messenger of light, always bathed in light whenever he comes,” Ye Xi’an said, pointing at Yi Yang. “Just like him.”

The light on Yi Yang's body pulsed a few times, then subsided and disappeared back into his body.

When the light finally faded, Yi Yang collapsed to his knees, panting heavily. Sweat plastered his hair to his forehead, and the bulging veins on the back of his hands gave him a particularly masculine look.

Yi Yang looked up at Ye Xi'an, his eyes burning with a fierce light they had never seen before.

His face wore a bewildered, incredulous expression.

Then, he slowly raised one hand and stared at it as if it were something that did not belong to him.

"me……"

He swallowed hard.

"I've reached level 5?"

These words fell into the deathly silence of the attic like pebbles thrown into a deep well.

There was silence.

Then, Bo Jing, who had finally reached level five, sounded somewhat flat in disbelief.

"Level 5? Directly to Level 5?"

Ji Jiangci stared at him blankly, the surprise he had gained from the upgrade and becoming younger now overshadowed by this astonishing turn of events: "This... is simply unheard of."

Ye Xi'an's jaw really dropped.

From level three to level five?

"Holy crap!" she finally found her voice and exclaimed, "Are you serious? Level 5? You're cheating!"

Yi Yang finally grinned, a big, almost ecstatic smile that stretched to his ears.

He moved his hands, and a powerful energy gathered in his palms. Ye Xi'an could even faintly feel the ground beneath his feet trembling.

“I feel… amazing!” he roared, his voice echoing between the rafters of the attic. “I feel like I could punch this building down!”

As he was saying this, he was about to throw a punch, but fortunately Ji Jiangci and Bo Jing stopped Yi Yang in time. Otherwise, that big idiot Yi Yang might have really knocked the house down.

Inside the attic, the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Ye Xi'an shook his head, a smile welling up in his chest. "Alright, alright, calm down, look how smug you are."

Despite the teasing tone in her words, a sense of pride welled up within her.

I never expected that Yi Yang, who used to be so bad at the game, would suddenly become so good.

But she was a little worried: "You're leveling up so fast, is that alright?"

"It's a pity that Zhijing isn't here with you, otherwise I would have asked him to check for you."

Yi Yang has always been carefree, and he patted his chest to assure everyone, "It's okay! I'm pretty sure I'm doing perfectly well right now."

Ji Jiangci said thoughtfully, "This shouldn't be an accident. Yi Yang couldn't level up even after absorbing the energy of the ice grass before, but he can now. I think it must be related to that virus."

Yi Yang's eyes lit up: "You mean it's possible that the viral infection caused my gene mutation!"

"I think so, otherwise how could you suddenly become so amazing?"

After listening to Ji Jiangci's explanation, Ye Xi'an also felt that it made sense. Wouldn't this be like opening up the Ren and Du meridians?
She patted Yi Yang on the shoulder: "Your Excellency has survived a great calamity; you are truly blessed!"

Praised by his wife, Yi Yang scratched his head shyly, then affectionately hugged Ye Xi'an's arm. His dog tail peeked out from behind his pants and swayed happily from side to side: "Oh my~, it's all thanks to my dear wife who saved me, otherwise I would have died long ago."

Ye Xi'an couldn't stand others acting cute towards her, especially good-looking ones. Yi Yang's actions made her smile even harder to suppress than a pig during Chinese New Year. Ji Jiangci and Bo Jing's eyes darkened when they saw this. It seemed Ye Xi'an was quite susceptible to male coquetry. The two men exchanged a glance, and although they didn't say a word, a certain skill had already been tacitly activated.

After Ye Xi'an had used up most of the ice plants in his house, only the ice plant seedlings that were still being cultivated remained.

At this time, the level of their superpowers also reached an unprecedented height.

Ye Xi'an's ability is currently at level seven, Yi Yang and Bo Jing are both at level eight, and Ji Jiangci is the lowest at level six.

When the group tried to rise further, they could clearly feel the suppression.

Ye Xi'an: "It seems we have to go out and get a mission. There's always a limit to how much we can take shortcuts."

The group planned to go and get another mission while Lin Zhijing was still away, but as soon as they opened the door, they saw Gu Feng, who was stiff as a board, waiting for his wife.

"Gu Feng? What are you doing here?"

Gu Feng felt somewhat aggrieved. Ye Xi'an not only turned him away, but also seemed to have no recollection of him at all: "I've been here these past few days."

Gu Feng, feeling wronged, stopped stuttering when speaking to Ye Xi'an.

Ye Xi'an was somewhat surprised. She knew that they had been absorbing the energy of the ice grass for the past three days and hadn't left the house at all. Could Gu Feng have been guarding her doorstep for the past three days?

"Where are you going?" Gu Feng composed himself, his two fiery red eyes almost glued to Ye Xi'an's face.

"Oh! We're about to go get our mission. Oh, by the way, Gu Feng," Ye Xi'an said, opening her hand, and several ice plants appeared out of thin air in her palm. "Here, take these."

Gu Feng looked at the ice grass in his hand, pursing his lips. Ye Xi'an actually gave him such a precious resource, so she still cared about him, didn't she?

"I'll go with you."

Ye Xi'an did not refuse Gu Feng's offer. More people meant more strength. When the Zerg came, Gu Feng should also be considered one of them. It would be best if they could all improve together.

Since their abilities have all improved, they plan to choose a four-star mission this time.

After reading the mission briefing, the group picked up the keys with practiced ease and headed straight for the portal. The once trembling newbies had transformed, a true sign that a clan had finally stood tall.

As soon as Ye Xi'an stepped through the spatial portal, she felt dizzy. When she woke up, a blinding white light stung her eyes.

She tried to get up but found that her limbs were bound to the bed by the restrainers.

Ye Xi'an was still a little dazed, but the all-too-familiar scene suddenly brought her back to her senses!
