Looking at the incredibly lively stone in her palm, Xu Wan sighed.

"Fine, but if we really encounter bugs, I'll throw you out for self-defense."

The stone bounced a few more times, as if in rebuttal.

With me, the Great King, around, even insects dare not show their faces!

Unfortunately, Xu Wan couldn't understand.

She clenched the bouncing stone tightly in her palm and stepped into the cave.

It was completely dark outside.

Fortunately, the hat lamp she was wearing had enough power to allow her to see what was inside the cave.

Whether it was the stone's effect or not, she walked all the way to the location marked on the map without encountering any insects or other creatures.

"Master, where is that thing?"

There's a shovel in my backpack, let's dig.

"Dig? Are you sure?"

Xu Wan laughed in exasperation. Was this method of acquisition really that simple and unpretentious?

She shook her head, reluctantly took a shovel from her backpack, and began digging for treasure.

"Digging and digging and digging in a huge cave..."

She was already sweating profusely when the shovel tip hit the hard, solid object.

She quickened her pace, digging away the surrounding soil, and looked at the stone that was exactly the same as the one she had placed next to her.

She blinked. "Master, don't tell me this thing is something that can help me reduce the attraction of ferocious beasts."

If she had known earlier what it was, she would have just given her piece to the system. Why did she have to go through all that trouble to dig out an identical one?

[Xu Wan, listen to my excuse...]

She narrowed her eyes. "Tongzi, I suspect you're hiding something from me. I have evidence. I heard you make excuses."

She pointed to her ears, "I can hear it with both ears!"

【Xu Wan…】

Before she finished speaking, the stone in her palm had already jumped to the ground and landed on the newly dug stone.

The change happened in an instant.

Before she could react to the stone that had doubled in size, familiar blue threads began to emerge from within it.

Several threads wrapped around her fingertips and rushed towards the little blue flower in the system space.

Xu Wan tried to stop her, but the silk thread was one step ahead of her.

As if sensing something, the little blue flower unfolded its petals and absorbed the energy.

The blue silk thread gradually blended into her.

Looking at the light blue light emanating from her palm, Xu Wan's eyes flashed with surprise.

She looked around at her body and found that it was also radiating the same light.

If Zhuyou and the others were there, they would have noticed that the light emanating from her was exactly the same as the light she released when comforting them.

However, she always kept her eyes closed when comforting the child, so she had never seen this scene before.

Her tone was somewhat helpless, "Tongzi, what... what happened to me?"

The system's phantom appeared before her, its tone reassuring.

"Don't worry, just focus, it'll be over soon."

After confirming that neither the little blue flower nor she herself felt uncomfortable, she nodded and focused her attention back on her own body.

She could feel the energy within her body flowing slowly along her meridians.

My arm, which was sore just now, has recovered and even feels lighter.

She tried to release a wisp of her spiritual energy, and it was more powerful than before.

As the light around her gradually faded, she closed her eyes and sank into the system space.

Sure enough, a stone appeared on the base of the little blue flower, making it look as if it had sprouted from a stone.

Moreover, the petals of the little blue flower no longer felt soft and flimsy, as if they would break with the slightest force.

It feels surprisingly supple to the touch, like a piece of very high-quality material.

The system walked up to her. "Xu Wan, try using your superpower directly."

"Use it directly?"

She used to convert her mental energy into superpowers, so using it directly would be a bit outside her area of ​​knowledge.

"I don't know how, teach me."

The system chuckled, "Think about the object you want to control and your commands in your mind, and remember to concentrate."

She nodded thoughtfully, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes as she lowered them.

"Master, don't move."

Not hearing any movement, she looked up at him.

She noticed that he was really standing still, but the doting look in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"Satisfied?"

He guessed she would use him as a test subject, since there was no one else available besides him now.

However, since he has no physical form, it's uncertain whether her control will be successful.

I was thinking that even if it didn't work out, I would at least pretend to cooperate and make her happy.

As soon as she finished speaking, his hand, which he wanted to raise, became completely out of his control.

He was both surprised and delighted. "Xu Wan, your mental strength and superpowers have both been upgraded."

"I have a level too?" Isn't that something only males have?

She remembered that, apart from the Holy Mother, the only difference between females' spiritual power was that it was either high or low.

The original owner was Yun Shu's daughter. Most people felt that even if she did not inherit Yun Shu's top-level spiritual power, she should at least be a high-level one.

During the tribe's testing, she could only unleash a mental force no larger than a fingernail, no matter how hard she tried.

It's not even considered low-level.

But ever since she arrived here, her mental strength has been stronger than the original owner's from the very beginning.

Especially after Little Blue Flower appeared, the closer she got to the beastmen, the more obvious Little Blue Flower's changes became, and the higher her spiritual power became.

"It's like... the original owner didn't know how to use mental power at all."

She looked at the system, a hint of confusion in her eyes, "Then why can I use it right away?"

She gripped his arm tightly, her voice carrying a hint of nervousness she herself didn't realize.

"It's because the original owner's talent was too poor, right? It has nothing to do with any other reason, is that right?"

She no longer needed to struggle to control her powers, and the system's body naturally regained its freedom.

He looked down at her, his thumb twirling between his fingertips.

He wanted to tell her the whole truth, the whole past, but looking into her panicked eyes, he couldn't bear to.

He nodded. "Yes, the original owner had very poor talent and didn't know how to use the spiritual power in her body, but you are different. You have always been very smart."

Upon hearing the system's explanation, Xu Wan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, she still believed that she was originally the true owner of this body.

If that's the case, then she's nothing more than a two-dimensional character created by the author.

The ending is entirely determined by the author's single sentence; the feeling of having one's life completely controlled by others is truly terrifying.

Fortunately, the system said that those were all her guesses.

She felt relieved and resumed her usual playful and joking manner.

"With my intelligence and quick wit, I'll succeed wherever I go!"

She thought for a moment, "So what level am I at now?"

"Mental strength level three, supernatural ability level two."

The system glanced at the little blue flower, "Now the Heart Stone and the little blue flower are bound together, and you can use your powers at will from now on."
