Chapter 460: 255 People are different from each other

The man, upon hearing Fang Yuxin’s words, abruptly lifted his head, focusing intently on her. He sensed there was a deeper message in her words and tried to discern her true intentions from her expression. Then he realized that Fang Yuxin’s gaze contained a faint hint of encouragement, as if urging him not to give up.

Staring at her blankly, a strong longing and impulse suddenly surged in his heart. Indeed, why should he give up? Why should he place his daughter’s future in the hands of others?

He held his daughter tightly in his arms, feeling her warm body temperature, and subconsciously said to Fang Yuxin, "You’re right, I really shouldn’t abandon hope. I..." He wanted to say that if he were to fail, could Fang Yuxin take his daughter to a safe place, entrusting her to good care.

But recalling what Fang Yuxin had said earlier, he found he couldn’t bring himself to utter those words. So he closed his mouth, gave Fang Yuxin a deep look, and then turned with his daughter to head back to his car.

Just as he turned around, Fang Yuxin flicked her finger, emitting a stream of pure Wood Energy into the center of his back. His health was not good, and after nearly over a month of hardship following the apocalypse, his body had grown extremely weakened. Thus, after contracting the virus, his vitality gradually diminished.

However, as the concentrated Wood Energy from Fang Yuxin entered his heart, the weakening organ seemed to awaken with vitality, suddenly thumping vigorously.

The man’s body jolted, keenly aware of the change within. His fading strength returned abruptly, and even his burdened heart seemed to be reborn! He whirled around shockingly, staring at Fang Yuxin. Before this moment, he had no inkling that she possessed such terrifying power!

At that moment in his eyes, Fang Yuxin was akin to a deity from myths, who with a mere flick, could renew the life force of a dying man—a formidable ability!

Yet he quickly composed the shock on his face, thanking Fang Yuxin gratefully, and then turned his head as if nothing had happened, holding his daughter and walking towards his car.

It wasn’t that he didn’t value Fang Yuxin’s life-saving grace, but he suddenly realized, given the crowd around them, such a heaven-defying ability should not be easily revealed to others. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have helped him surreptitiously.

The man etched this debt of gratitude in his heart without any intention of exposing Fang Yuxin’s ability. He thought to himself that if he could survive this ordeal, his life would be owed to Fang Yuxin. He also understood why Fang Yuxin had spoken those words.

After returning to the car, he recalled his recent conversation with Fang Yuxin and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He guessed that her words were both encouragement and a test for him. Had he not grasped the meaning and fallen into utter despair, Fang Yuxin might not have helped him after all!

In reality, he had overestimated Fang Yuxin’s abilities. Ordinary Wood Energy superpower users could also use their Wood Element Superpower to stimulate a person’s vitality, but their superpower was not as pure as Fang Yuxin’s Wood Element True Qi, thus not as effective.

But it was no wonder he thought this way; he was an Ordinary Person, not even a superpower user, and knew very little about the methods of those superpower users. Especially the mysterious Wood Element Superpower Users, who had all but become the personal physicians of the power brokers, how could Ordinary People ever hope to understand their capabilities?

After his bout of cold sweat, the man decided not to dwell on it any longer and began to soothe his daughter to sleep. The virus made him increasingly uncomfortable, but he was careful not to show it in front of his daughter, not wanting her to worry. Fearing he could not control himself, and worried about what his daughter might see next, he wanted to put her to sleep.

Huanhuan was indeed very sleepy; she was young and needed lots of sleep, and the hot weather made her drowsy. However, she was worried about the man, always afraid he would leave her behind. She let the man cajole her for a while, and finally compromised, agreeing to sleep, but insisted on holding the man’s hand.

The man had no choice but to agree. He gently placed his daughter on the seat next to him, allowing her to hold his hand, enduring his bodily discomfort and smiling as he lulled her to sleep. Once her breathing became steady, the man could not contain himself any longer, and his handsome face twisted completely.
