164: Chapter 164 Smiling so brightly at him

Damn it, it's been way too long!!

But!!

But it was only!!

Huo Sixian said this while breathing the words right into Ye Qingqing's ear.

Ye Qingqing only felt a ticklish sensation spread from the base of her ear.

Along with it, her earlobe and cheeks flushed red all over again.

...

By the time Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian emerged from the space with Ah Huang, it was already the evening of the next day.

As Ye Qingqing headed home, she only hoped Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan wouldn't be there.

Fortunately, everything went just as she expected. The moment she got home, Ye Qingqing collapsed onto her bed and slept straight through until the next evening.

Deng Jiayu even suspected that Ye Qingqing might be sick.

But seeing Ye Qingqing full of energy when she woke up, she didn't say anything more.

When Ye Qingqing arrived at the Training Ground, she immediately gave Huo Sixian a huge, angry knuckle rap on the head.

"Huo Sixian, if you ever do that again, don't expect me to talk to you!"

Huo Sixian, having been beaten up by Ye Qingqing in front of everyone, felt aggrieved but wasn't angry.

Instead, he even put on a pitiful expression.

And just like that, the news of Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian officially being together spread throughout the entire Ability User Squad.

Because of the classification of Ability Users by power level within the base, the Ability User Squads had been completely divided into several smaller squads.

They were divided into six levels in total: C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.

Naturally, those who could team up with Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing also possessed considerable Ability.

Originally, Ye Qingqing had been wondering where Lu Huan, Kong Ziyi, and the others were.

But when she saw familiar faces on the Training Ground, Ye Qingqing finally relaxed completely.

Luckily, the personnel in the Ability User Squad where Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian belonged hadn't changed.

Lu Huan, Kong Ziyi, and Meng Hangfei were all SSS-level Ability Users.

However, there was one more person in this team.

Huo Sixian introduced him to Ye Qingqing: "This is Mo Wangchuan. He was the one who saved you before you fainted last time."

Naturally, Ye Qingqing knew nothing about this.

But since Huo Sixian said so,

Ye Qingqing still extended her hand.

"Hello, I'm Ye Qingqing. Thank you for saving me. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word."

Mo Wangchuan also responded, shaking Ye Qingqing's hand in return.

But at that moment, Huo Sixian became unhappy, his eyes fixed intently on the hands Ye Qingqing and Mo Wangchuan were shaking.

As if Ye Qingqing had committed some major transgression.

An awkward smile appeared on Mo Wangchuan's face; he suddenly felt an unusual chill on the back of his neck.

But just then, another familiar person arrived in the Ability User Squad.

"Qingqing..."

When Zuo Yuxing saw Ye Qingqing full of life on the Training Ground, his eyes were filled with shock.

Just as he was about to approach to catch up with Ye Qingqing, Huo Sixian wrapped an arm around Ye Qingqing's shoulders.

"Is there something?"

Zuo Yuxing looked at Huo Sixian's hand resting on Ye Qingqing's shoulder, a flicker of desolation appearing in his eyes.

But soon, a smile spread across his face again.

When Ah Huang saw Zuo Yuxing appear, its tail still instinctively wagged once towards him.

But very quickly, Ah Huang remembered that it was because of Zuo Yuxing that Ye Qingqing had been unconscious for so long.

So Ah Huang was now conflicted.

Looking at Zuo Yuxing, it was unwilling to go near him.

"Qingqing, I heard you were at the Training Ground, so I came to apologize. I'm sorry for hurting you before."

Actually, Ye Qingqing didn't think this incident was Zuo Yuxing's fault.

If she hadn't approached him, nothing would have happened.

So Ye Qingqing gave a slight smile: "It's okay. Because of you, I even awakened another Superpower."

Hearing that Ye Qingqing didn't blame him, Zuo Yuxing finally revealed a bright, relieved smile.

"Qingqing, thank you."

"My squad is right next to yours. I'm in the Second Ability User Squad. Feel free to come find me to hang out when you have time."

Although Ye Qingqing didn't understand what the Second Ability User Squad meant at the time, she still agreed verbally.

"Okay."

Zuo Yuxing took one last look at Huo Sixian's hand on Ye Qingqing's shoulder before turning and leaving.

In the end, Ye Qingqing still hadn't chosen him.

In fact, Zuo Yuxing stood no chance against Huo Sixian at all.

After Zuo Yuxing left, a jealous expression immediately appeared on Huo Sixian's face.

"Why did you smile so brightly at him!"

"Tch!"

A displeased sound escaped Ye Qingqing's lips.

"Hmph."

She even let out a 'hmph' at Huo Sixian.

The poor Huo Sixian thus suffered a glare from Ye Qingqing.

But Huo Sixian didn't dare defy Ye Qingqing.

What could he do? She was his wife; he just had to spoil her.

It was also on this day that Ye Qingqing learned

that not only had the Ability Users within the base undergone a major reshuffle,

but the base's power factions had also experienced a major reshuffle.

Huo Sixian's grandfather, Huo Cunsheng, remained seated firmly in a high position.

Originally, Huo Cunsheng had wanted to step down.

But there really weren't any capable talents within the base who could shoulder the responsibility.

Originally, Huo Sixian had the capability.

But Huo Sixian's focus was never on base management.

Huo Sixian only wanted to manage his own team well.

However, it was precisely because of Huo Sixian's existence that Huo Cunsheng's position became even more secure.

From the gossipy mouth of Kong Ziyi on the side, Ye Qingqing also learned

that Huo Cunsheng actually had someone else in mind for the position.

But that person, like Huo Sixian, currently had no desire to take that seat.

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but ask, "Who is that person?"

But after Ye Qingqing asked this, Huo Sixian's face grew even darker.

He even grew bold enough to let out a disgruntled snort at Ye Qingqing.

At this point, even if Kong Ziyi didn't say it, Ye Qingqing knew who that person was.

It was undoubtedly Zuo Yuxing.

Only Zuo Yuxing could make Huo Sixian make such a sound.

Ye Qingqing smiled helplessly, thinking Huo Sixian was just like a child.

The Ability User Squad Huo Sixian belonged to was called the First Ability User Squad.

Usually abbreviated, it was just called Team One.

Huo Sixian was also the captain.

The captain of Team Two was Zuo Yuxing.

But actually, under these Ability User Squads, there were many more Ability Users.

They were called sub-teams.

In other words, the management was tiered.

They were called First Ability User Squad, Sub-team One, Sub-team Two, Sub-team Three, and so on.

Each Ability User Squad also had different jurisdictions.

For example, Huo Sixian's First Team was primarily focused on combat.

That is, when the base encountered any danger, such as a zombie attack or an assault by Ability Users from outside the base, the First Team would be the first to engage in battle.

Whereas the Second Team, where Zuo Yuxing belonged, was responsible for the base's rear.

One attacked, the other defended.

They each had their own duties.
