300: Chapter 30 Secret Efforts

But Deng Jiayu continued, "The relationship between a husband and wife requires mutual adjustment from both people."

"You can't always be the one receiving; occasionally, one has to give."

Ye Qingqing listened to Deng Jiayu's words, but they went in one ear and out the other.

She could only mutter, "Okay, okay, I get it."

But she was only saying that; after all, Ye Qingqing couldn't possibly tell Deng Jiayu her true thoughts.

Deng Jiayu shot Ye Qingqing a doubtful look.

She saw right through Ye Qingqing's thoughts.

In the end, however, she let out a sigh.

She was old, after all, and young people's matters should be left for young people to worry about themselves.

As an old woman, she didn't want to think too much anymore.

Ever since Huo Sixian regained his memories, they had been rushing on their journey the whole way.

Ye Qingqing had asked Huo Sixian where they were going.

But Huo Sixian only told Ye Qingqing that they needed to find Water-based Superpowers.

As for anything more, Huo Sixian didn't tell Ye Qingqing.

"Stingy guy, it's useless asking you; you won't say anything!"

Huo Sixian watched Ye Qingqing with her hands on her hips and her face puffed out in anger; for some reason, he actually found her a bit cute.

In reality, Ye Qingqing's mood had been terrible lately because of her pregnancy.

Seeing Huo Sixian smiling at her like a total fanboy, Ye Qingqing's anger flared up instantly.

She gave Huo Sixian a direct smack on the head.

"Look, look! What's there to look at!"

"Instead of focusing on my question, all you do is act like a lovestruck fool!"

Huo Sixian clutched his head, feeling very wronged in his heart.

His voice sounded pitiful too: "It's just because my wife is too beautiful, I couldn't help myself..."

Ye Qingqing's lip twitched; she shouldn't have tried to discuss serious matters with this version of Huo Sixian.

Huo Sixian had been like a different person lately, wanting to stick to her side all day long.

Ye Qingqing now felt that her only alone time was when she was showering or using the bathroom!

Most importantly!

Originally, Ye Qingqing had her space to hide in!

But whenever Ye Qingqing brought Deng Jiayu and the others into the space for some fresh air, Huo Sixian was always right there!

Ye Qingqing was truly annoyed by Huo Sixian!

If it weren't for the fact that Huo Sixian kept the vegetable garden in the space perfectly tidy every day, and that everyone had fresh vegetables and game to eat because of him...

Ye Qingqing wouldn't have let it slide.

But right now!

Ye Qingqing really wanted to know!

What exactly!

Huo Sixian was being so mysterious about!

Was there something she wasn't allowed to know!

And it wasn't just her! Kong Ziyi and the others didn't know what Huo Sixian was planning to do either!

Looking at Ye Qingqing, Huo Sixian's throat moved involuntarily.

He saw his soft and cute wife and liked her so much; he really wanted to kiss her.

But seeing Ye Qingqing's resentful and angry expression as she looked at him...

Huo Sixian immediately behaved himself.

After all, in this world, the wife's word was law.

Huo Sixian organized his words several times.

Finally, he spoke.

"Qingqing, actually, my destination is Sea City."

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow.

"Sea City?"

"What are we going to such a far place for?"

Ye Qingqing's brow furrowed. No wonder Huo Sixian had been telling Little Green to drive fast every day lately.

Aside from the more dangerous environment at night and the risk of the recreational vehicle breaking down if driven 24 hours a day...

Huo Sixian wished he could rush there day and night without stopping.

"I want to find the last Superpower element."

"The water element?" Ye Qingqing asked doubtfully.

Huo Sixian nodded.

But a question surfaced in Ye Qingqing's mind.

"Why?"

"You already have enough Superpowers, and as long as you don't go looking for trouble, no human, zombie, or mutant plant or animal is a match for you now."

Ye Qingqing questioned Huo Sixian; she was indeed confused.

Under normal circumstances, Huo Sixian's current strength made him the strongest person they had encountered.

And in their group, except for Deng Jiayu's party and Mo Wangchuan who had no combat power, everyone else had the Ability to fight, and their combat strength wasn't low.

Ye Qingqing really couldn't see the necessity for Huo Sixian to keep pushing himself.

Also, why did Huo Sixian have to go to Sea City to obtain the water element?

Back when she obtained her Superpowers, she didn't specifically go to any particular place.

She just encountered them on the road and awakened them along the way.

Ye Qingqing didn't understand, and many questions filled her mind.

Huo Sixian actually didn't know how to start for a moment.

He didn't want to tell Ye Qingqing about matters regarding past and present lives; after all, it was too complicated.

Moreover, telling Ye Qingqing might lead to the collapse of this world.

Even though this world was already as terrible as it could be...

Huo Sixian still didn't dare tell Ye Qingqing easily, to avoid even more accidents.

So, Huo Sixian could only make up a reason on the fly.

"Who doesn't want to be a bit stronger?"

"Just like before the Post-Apocalyptic World, would you ever complain about having too much money?"

Ye Qingqing was left with no rebuttal to Huo Sixian's reasoning.

After all, it was true... nobody would complain about having too much money.

Naturally, that had now translated into nobody complaining about having too much Ability.

"Besides, my Superpowers awakened too quickly before, so the energy is unstable. I have a feeling that once we reach Sea City, there will be the purest water elements there. The Superpower energy they contain can also repair my previous Superpower energy."

Ye Qingqing blinked and looked at Huo Sixian quietly.

Huo Sixian's heart rate quickened slightly.

He didn't know if Ye Qingqing believed him.

After all, this was just a reason he had made up on the spot.

But unexpectedly, after thinking for a moment, Ye Qingqing's red lips parted slightly: "Alright."

Huo Sixian felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

He hadn't expected Ye Qingqing to actually believe his explanation.

Actually, half of what Huo Sixian said wasn't a lie.

That was that he really was going to Sea City to find the water element.

And the Water-based Superpower in Sea City would indeed repair the deficiencies in his previous Superpower energy.

Only after gathering the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Superpowers could one understand the method to repair this world.

Both he and Ye Qingqing would have the Ability to repair and save this world.

But now that Ye Qingqing was pregnant...

Huo Sixian would not let Ye Qingqing take that risk.

Therefore, Huo Sixian planned to keep it from Ye Qingqing and work hard in secret by himself...
