Chapter 85 Time Reversal

The temperature in the bedroom gradually dropped. Su Yanqiu struggled to get up and cracked the window open a sliver to let the smell air out.

Zhou Yan gently pinched Su Yanyue's nose.

"Mmm..." Su Yanyue batted Zhou Yan's hand away in dissatisfaction, opened her eyes, the flush on her face not yet having faded...

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Yan flipped his hand, and a vial emitting a pale purple fluorescent glow appeared in his palm.

Su Yanqiu and Su Yanyue looked curiously at that vial of awakening potion.

"This is the key to gaining special abilities. It's a potion, but I only have this one bottle for now. You two decide who drinks it first."

"Give it to big sister!" Su Yanyue spoke up first without even thinking.

Zhou Yan looked at Su Yanyue with some surprise, but found no trace of reluctance on her face; she was just gently shaking Zhou Yan's arm, seemingly pleading.

"There are many women in this house. If we don't have someone powerful to keep things in check, it won't work!"

Su Yanyue had a very clear self-awareness. She didn't possess any traits to compete with the other women. On the contrary, Su Yanqiu, whether in status or personality, had always kept the others firmly in check within Zhou Yan's "backyard."

This was also the point that made Zhou Yan feel most conflicted. Under normal circumstances, giving this potion to Wu Yang would maximize the benefits.

Su Yanyue was anxious because Bai Qi had been getting very close to Zhuang Yan recently.

That girl was naive and simple-minded; what if she got tricked by Zhuang Yan?

This family seemed to have vaguely developed some kind of opposition.

Su Yanqiu didn't speak, only silently rubbed Su Yanyue's little head.

Zhou Yan handed the potion over.

Unscrewing the cap, she sniffed it at the tip of her nose, and Su Yanqiu frowned.

This thing… the smell was somewhat indescribable...

Looking at Zhou Yan, doubts began to form in her eyes. This potion...

Is it "legit"?

Zhou Yan didn't add any "extra things" to it, did he?

Why does it have such a "weird" smell...

But the trust in her heart for Zhou Yan suppressed her doubts, and she downed it in one gulp.

Su Yanqiu's complexion instantly flushed, and her body temperature began to rise rapidly.

This was the first time Zhou Yan had witnessed the process of taking the "awakening potion" with his own eyes. The first time he drank it himself, he couldn't see what was happening on his own face.

After about a minute, Su Yanqiu looked at her hands with some confusion.

"Did it fail?" Su Yanyue looked at her sister with a nervous expression.

"I... I don't know. It feels a bit special... but I can't quite say what's special about it..." Su Yanqiu muttered, looking at her palms.

She could clearly perceive that something else had appeared in her "mind," like a surge of energy she could control, but Su Yanqiu didn't know how to manipulate it...

"Feel that energy in your mind... try to manipulate it!" Zhou Yan instructed from the side.

Su Yanqiu's soft, boneless hand lifted slightly.

A pale blue light flashed fiercely in her palm, instantly illuminating the entire room before vanishing rapidly...

In the instant that pale blue light flashed, Zhou Yan's figure turned into a pitch-black shadow and merged into the shadow of the bed...

[User detected to be in potential danger of a lethal blow, passive skill activated!]

Zhou Yan, inside the shadow, was completely bewildered.

Then, he looked nervously at Su Yanyue on the bed...

His [Shadow] ability had just been activated, but what about Su Yanyue?

Looking at Su Yanyue, who was lying on the bed unconscious, Su Yanqiu panicked.

"Yue'er!"

"Yue'er!"

Zhou Yan's figure restored, and he hurriedly checked Su Yanyue's physical condition.

The result was, after shaking Su Yanyue's body a few times, he found Su Yanyue looking at Zhou Yan with a confused expression.

"What's going on? How did I fall asleep?" After saying this, she struggled to get up and looked at her sister in confusion.

"What happened to you just now?" Su Yanqiu asked nervously.

"I don't know, it seems like I fell asleep..." Su Yanyue was also very bewildered.

"Do you feel anything?" Zhou Yan also looked at Su Yanyue with a worried expression.

"I don't feel anything at all. It was just like I suddenly blanked out, felt a blue light before my eyes, and then I didn't know anything else..."

"Do you remember what happened just now?" Su Yanqiu touched her sister's forehead, but didn't find anything unusual.

"I only remember a blue light..."

Su Yanyue looked confused.

Su Yanqiu and Zhou Yan exchanged a confused look. What was going on?

Su Yanqiu: "How about..."

Zhou Yan: "Try again?"

Su Yanqiu opened her palm, and the blue light flashed intensely in an instant.

[User detected to be in potential danger of a lethal blow, passive skill activated!]

"Again?" Zhou Yan, inside the shadow, looked annoyed.

He hadn't even seen clearly what happened.

However, he heard Su Yanqiu exclaim, and he hurriedly shifted forms to look at Su Yanyue on the bed.

He saw Su Yanyue on the bed sitting in a kneeling position, her hands waving continuously at the air...

And then...

"Ah!!!"

Su Yanyue screamed in panic and looked at Zhou Yan, who was standing by the bed.

"Xiao Yan! What am I doing?!"

"Wait!" Zhou Yan reached out, interrupting what Su Yanqiu was about to say.

"I think I know what's going on!"

"Time! It's time!"

Just now, Su Yanyue's movements were clearly the same ones she made when she begged him to give the awakening potion to her sister!

Even her expression and demeanor were exactly the same!

"Time?" Su Yanqiu looked at her hands with a puzzled expression.

"Yes! Wait a moment, let's do one more experiment!"

After saying this, Zhou Yan widened his eyes and stared intently at Su Yanqiu's palm.

Su Yanyue hadn't realized what was happening yet and just looked in confusion at the two people standing by the bed, naked but acting mysterious...

One minute later.

"It's about to start... Three... Two... One!"

After Su Yanqiu finished speaking, the blue light in her palm instantly expanded.

When Su Yanqiu counted to two, Zhou Yan had already entered the [Shadow] state in advance, standing in the shadows and observing the entire room!

Sure enough!

The area that the blue light could cover was extremely limited!

Centered on Su Yanqiu, it expanded outward; the farther the distance, the weaker the blue light!

The moment Su Yanyue on the bed was hit by the blue light, her figure, like a video being rewound at high speed, began to shake violently in a very glitchy manner, and finally remained in the position of lying on her side on the bed...

As Zhou Yan's figure restored, Su Yanyue's scream, though delayed, arrived...

"Alright!" Zhou Yan had anticipated Su Yanyue's scream and covered her mouth in advance.

"A divine skill!" Zhou Yan gave Su Yanqiu a thumbs up.

"It's time reversal within a limited space. Both the affected space and time are limited, probably within three minutes. The duration of the time reversal should be determined by how much energy you consume each time!"

The first time, the light was the brightest and most intense; at that time, Su Yanyue's time had been reversed to three minutes prior.

The second time, the light was weaker, and Su Yanyue's time was reversed to two minutes prior.

The last time, the light was the weakest, and Su Yanyue's time was reversed by one minute!

"Then why weren't you affected?" Su Yanqiu looked at Zhou Yan with confusion.

Zhou Yan's ability, when actively cast, was controlled by himself, but the passive ability to dodge lethal blows was controlled by the system. It was likely that the system determined this ability would affect him, so it entered the [Shadow] state in advance to dodge before the blue light could affect him...

Zhou Yan had observed the surrounding space in the Shadow state; it definitely wasn't as simple as being in a shadow.

It was another dimensional space.

"Wait! Wait!" Su Yanyue raised her hand, trying to get the attention of the two people talking.

"I have a question!" Su Yanyue shouted.
