124: Chapter 124 President Ye An

Qi Yin's level four Supernatural Ability fell upon Li Shi and Li Yun; the two little ones' bodies shuddered as the light surrounding them grew even brighter.

The Supernatural Ability circled around them, and by the time it reached their hands, it had been converted into the Light element.

With Qi Yin's enhancement, the light illuminated the darkness.

Xiao Sinian's body trembled even more violently; in his subconscious, it felt as if two forces were clashing within him, colliding fiercely.

One was cold and damp, while the other was soft and warm.

His fingers unconsciously gripped the bedsheets, his knuckles turning white.

Qi Yin held her breath, staring intently at his reaction while continuously channeling her Supernatural Ability.

Gradually, the spasms in Xiao Sinian's body slowed down, and the cold sweat covering him wasn't as heavy as it was at the beginning.

Clearly, the Darkness Power inside him was being suppressed.

It worked, it really worked!

This process lasted for roughly half an hour, which felt like a century to the three of them.

Not to mention Li Shi and Li Yun, even Qi Yin's forehead was covered in beads of sweat and her body felt sticky, showing how much Supernatural Ability had been consumed.

The Black-Robed Person's move had truly caused them a great deal of suffering.

Finally, when Xiao Sinian's tense body completely relaxed and his breathing stabilized, Li Shi and Li Yun let out heavy sighs, withdrew their hands, and let them hang weakly.

"Sister, we've driven away the nasty stuff from Brother Si Nian. He should wake up soon, right?"

They lacked experience, but Xiao Sinian no longer smelled foul; he smelled fragrant just like their sister, so they assumed he must be getting better.

Qi Yin stepped forward to catch the two swaying girls. Seeing their overextended state, she immediately gave them Recovery agents to drink, her heart filled with gratitude.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go back and get some good rest first."

After sending the sisters off, Qi Yin sat by the bed with her legs bent, feeling somewhat exhausted.

Her gaze fell on Xiao Sinian's closed eyes, and she let out a long sigh of relief. Although he hadn't woken up yet, he looked much better now compared to his sickly appearance over the past two days.

Light truly was the nemesis of darkness.

Her ankle suddenly felt a bit itchy. Now that her nerves had relaxed, Qi Yin subconsciously reached down to scratch it.

Unexpectedly, as she raised her hand, a faint pink hue was caught under her fingernails.

"Hmm?"

Looking down, the lower half of her boots was covered in pink.

When did this stuff get stuck on her?

She brought it to her nose to sniff; the scent was very familiar. Where had she seen it before?

Suddenly, Qi Yin's pupils constricted.

She remembered. Wasn't this powder the same medicinal powder Tian Zining used to stimulate mutations in plants and animals? Even the smell was exactly the same.

No, the potency of this batch was at least double what Tian Zining had used back then.

She had only changed into these boots after entering Jiang City, which meant the powder was picked up after entering the city, most likely after the Arrogant King and the zombie horde appeared.

With this perverted medicinal powder, how could the zombies not reach level three?

No wonder she always felt the zombies in Jiang City were more violent than those elsewhere, acting almost like cunning humans.

Qi Yin carefully scraped some into a bottle, planning to bring it to Professor Zhou later.

*Knock knock!*

A knock sounded at the door.

Qi Yin put the items away. "Come in!"

Meng Xichi pushed the door open, his expression looking a bit off.

"Um... Sister Yin."

Seeing him hesitating, Qi Yin really didn't like it: "Just say it!"

"The President is here..."

Qi Yin: "Who?"

The President? It couldn't be the President she was thinking of, right?

Seeing her flickering gaze, Meng Xichi knew she had guessed correctly.

"Yes, it's the President you're thinking of, President Ye An."

Qi Yin cursed inwardly. Damn it, it really was their President, the elderly Mr. Ye An.

She never expected that one day, as a mere citizen, she would have the honor of meeting the President, someone she only saw on the news.

"Tell him Xiao Sinian isn't feeling well and to come back another day."

Since Ye An could come here, it proved he knew Xiao Sinian had returned. There was no hiding it, so she could only tell the truth.

But Meng Xichi waved his hand: "Sister Yin... the President isn't here to see the Boss."

Qi Yin stood up and faced him. Seeing his hesitant look, she pointed at herself suspiciously.

"He's not here for me, is he?"

He nodded; the answer was obvious.

Qi Yin was stunned. Ye An didn't even know her, so why was he looking for her?

"Help me keep an eye on Xiao Sinian. Give him water every ten minutes and call me when he wakes up."

"Got it, understood."

As she walked downstairs, she kept wondering why on earth Ye An was looking for her.

At the corner of the stairs, before she could even step down, she heard a burst of hearty laughter.

From far away, an old but powerful voice could be heard: "Good, good, good! Our base actually has so many Level three Ability Users. You youngsters are fantastic!"

Chen Quan stood in a row with the team members, looking a bit constrained, his heart beating like a drum in his chest.

When Lei Jun and the others left, they didn't tell him that the other big boss of the base was their President.

And they certainly didn't say the President would come looking for Sister Yin! Does Sister Yin have that much status now?

Chen Quan: "Mr. President, you flatter us. It's all because our leader taught us well."

Ye An was wearing a thick down jacket, and with his shock of white hair, he looked like a plump white penguin, his face wrinkling with laughter.

He wasn't formal at all, taking off his coat and sitting directly on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking like a completely different person from the serious President on television.

Seeing how nervous they were, Ye An waved his hand nonchalantly: "Go about your business, I'll just sit here for a while. Don't mind me."

Qi Yin hadn't expected Ye An to be such an old man in private.

"Mr. President, you were looking for me?"

Hearing the clear and steady footsteps, Ye An rubbed his throbbing temples and looked up toward the sound.

At the top of the stairs stood a young girl silhouetted against the light.

Standing over 1.7 meters tall, she was considered tall for a woman, her posture as upright as a young poplar. A thin bodysuit outlined her slender yet powerful frame.

Her long hair was tied back in a neat high ponytail, revealing an unforgettable face with features so refined they were almost sharp. Her skin was fair yet radiated a heroic spirit; her eyes showed none of the timidity or sycophancy common in women meeting the President, but were instead remarkably calm.

A flash of surprise crossed Ye An's eyes. He hadn't expected the girl Xiao Sinian frequently mentioned to be such a person.

He saw a unique temperament in her—capable and efficient, like a sharp blade kept in its scabbard, making it impossible to ignore the brilliance within.

Though only in her twenties, she looked as if she had already seen many storms.

Even when their eyes met, Ye An felt a sense of pressure.

"You... are the Qi Yin that Si Nian mentioned?"

Qi Yin nodded. Had Xiao Sinian actually mentioned her to Ye An?

"Yes, that's me," she spoke calmly, her gaze clear and neither humble nor arrogant.

Ye An sat up straighter without being obvious. He realized that for this girl to catch Xiao Sinian's eye, she was likely no ordinary person and far more than just 'somewhat capable' as he had described.
