Chapter 692: Chapter 59 Did You Forget to Bring Your Mouth?

Under the glow of the built-in lights, various plants thrived in the rainforest tank.

A small misting device sprayed out water vapor, consistently maintaining the moisture of the rainforest tank. Filtered clear water flowed over the moss-covered stones below, and a palm-sized snail curiously touched the stream with its antennae.

Shao Zifeng walked over and sat on the other side of the sofa, his hand gently petting Qiuqiu’s little head. He glanced at the snail named after his surname and casually asked, "When did you start smoking?"

Chen Yixing snapped out of her reverie, pressed the cigarette in her hand into the ashtray, and the smoke billowed to envelop her face. Her features became blurry behind the smoke, and she sat up straight, stretched lazily, pressed her legs together, and one leg slowly and naturally rested on the other knee, displaying a certain ladylike elegance.

"I don’t smoke often, but you happen to have caught me this time."

Shao Zifeng pursed his lips and his gaze drifted to Chen Yixing’s feet, "What does it matter that I’ve seen it? I’ve even seen pink bunny slippers..."

"Shao Zifeng!"

Seeing Chen Yixing grinding her teeth as she called his name, Shao Zifeng quickly switched to a concerned tone, "That is, I mean, it’s better to smoke less. Look, the cigarette pack even says smoking is harmful to health. You’re all grown up - if you keep smoking, are you going to get married... cough, just kidding."

Chen Yixing looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Did you leave your mouth somewhere during the years you were out? How come you talk so much when you come back?"

"Hehe, I’m just happy to see Sister Yixing."

"Are you taking your happiness out on me?"

"Aye, I couldn’t do that. Look at what you’re implying, I’m not that kind of person."

After teasing each other for a bit, Chen Yixing brushed through her chestnut curls, "Alright, let’s get to the point. You said you had something to discuss with me?"

Thump thump thump!

Just as Shao Zifeng was about to speak, a knocking interrupted him.

"Professor Chen, someone’s looking for you."

Chen Yixing leisurely switched her crossed legs, looked at Shao Zifeng, and asked, "Shall I have them wait in the reception room for a while?"

"No need," Shao Zifeng smiled and stood up to open the door. "We can talk about it together with this."

Opening the door, Cang Haiyuan appeared a bit restrained, but relaxed upon seeing Shao Zifeng. Following Shao Zifeng back into the room, he stood beside the sofa and saluted, "Professor Chen."

Shao Zifeng saw that he remained standing, "Have a seat."

Cang Haiyuan gave a wry smile but stayed in place without moving.

Chen Yixing didn’t speak. She poured two cups of clear tea, pushing one in front of Shao Zifeng before finally saying, "Sit down."

"Yes,"

Cang Haiyuan sat beside Shao Zifeng, ramrod straight, eyes fixed on the only ornament on the coffee table, the room so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Shao Zifeng cleared his throat to break the silence. Both of them looked over.

"Here’s the thing, Sister Yixing, Old Cang, I want to know the current situation with the ’Awakening Potion’ in the country. How have the mass vaccinations been going these past few years?"

"’Awakening potion’?" Chen Yixing slightly frowned, "For this matter, you should ask Cang Haiyuan, the executors are mainly responsible for this area."

Upon hearing this, Shao Zifeng turned to look at Cang Haiyuan, "Old Cang, can you talk about it?"

Cang Haiyuan nodded, "This isn’t exactly a secret. Although the ’Awakening Potion’ has been widely administered over these years, the effects haven’t been very good, according to our statistics, there is only about one awakening per ten thousand people. And the awakened abilities are incredibly varied, many of which are non-combat abilities."

Speaking of this, he let out a wry smile, "Just recently, I came across a case where a man’s ability was to grow body hair like crazy, the kind where even using hair removal cream as shampoo couldn’t stop it."

Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched, what kind of ability was that? But he hadn’t anticipated such a low ratio of one awakening out of ten thousand people.

Before returning to his country, he thought that with the ’Awakening Potion’ and the heritage of the Wa Huang, special abilities should have been a popular topic of discussion. Yet, on the bus, the topic he heard most about was pioneers, as if people had no knowledge of the existence of ’god-given magical powers’.

Logically, with the ’heritage of Wa Huang,’ there should have been many children born in the past three years with special abilities.

Immediately, he voiced the question in his mind, "What about babies, especially those born in the past three years, are there any with awakened special abilities?"

"Newborns?" Cang Haiyuan looked at him curiously, "What are you thinking? The official policy is that only adults are allowed to take the ’Awakening Potion’."

Shao Zifeng thought for a moment, then gave up on further inquiry. If any newborns had awakened in the last three years, Cang Haiyuan’s reaction would have been anything but this. Yet, the ’heritage of Wa Huang’ clearly stated it could enhance the chances of awakening in the next generation.

At that moment, Chen Yixing suddenly spoke up, "I remember you applied for an ’Awakening Potion’ not long ago. You seem suddenly interested in it now; did something happen?"

"Nothing escapes Sister Yixing. As you know, I have been investigating the branches of the Holy Origin Society in recent years. Not long ago, I went to Xilan Island..."

Next, Shao Zifeng briefly recounted what had happened on Xilan Island. When he got to the part about how people from the pioneers’ station had colluded with the Holy Origin Society to ambush him, Cang Haiyuan’s face turned ashen.

"These scum, leeches, they actually dared to do such a thing, I..."

Before he could finish, Cang Haiyuan sighed in frustration.

Seizing the opportunity, Shao Zifeng asked, "Those pioneers are so arrogant, why do they still receive ample resources? Wouldn’t the authorities restrict them? If I’m not mistaken, the supervision of the pioneers falls under the jurisdiction of you executors, right?"

Cang Haiyuan replied with a bitter smile, "It’s not so simple. Though our Great Xia is thriving, the country undergoing massive changes is far from as calm as it seems. We executors have supervisory powers, true, but compared to the rapidly advancing pioneers, our strength increases too slowly."

"Those with combat-type abilities haven’t grown up yet, our main enforcers are still those with the ice-type Bonding Reaction. Plus, the pioneer stations overseas don’t have large teleportation arrays, so even though we are willing, we can’t act." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The more Cang Haiyuan spoke, the angrier he got, venting his dissatisfaction, "What’s most infuriating is that the pioneers are too powerful to control. The authorities know some have defected, but they can’t pinpoint exactly who, so they have to keep distributing resources while pushing all the responsibility onto us."

With that, Cang Haiyuan looked at Shao Zifeng earnestly, "So, to deter certain individuals, we had to draw you into this. You’re not going to blame me, are you?"

Shao Zifeng, learning of the internal turmoil for the first time and not wishing to get involved, still patted Cang Haiyuan on the shoulder, "Of course not, but you owe me a good meal when we have the time."

"Humph."

Chen Yixing let out an unhappy snort but refrained from saying anything unpleasant.

"Let’s continue with my story then. The ’Awakening Potion’ I used to exchange for information was used... To prevent potential hidden threats, I brought the two sisters back to the country. Yet, how to settle them has become a big problem."

After a brief silence, Cang Haiyuan suddenly stood up, urgency on his face, "Sisters who awakened simultaneously and possess the power to instantly kill mid to high-level companion beasts? Zifeng, are you telling the truth? Where are they now?"

Chen Yixing was also stunned, looking at Shao Zifeng. Such an unbelievable turn of events was beyond her wildest imagination.
