Chapter 459: Chapter 462 Honesty_1

"What...what are you doing?" Ye Qingyin’s straightforward gaze unnerved Chen Wenhua, who adjusted his glasses and murmured weakly.

Ye Qingyin shifted her gaze, casually stating, "In the bounty world, there’s a legend about a phantom thief. Legend has it, this thief had mastered a superpower called ’telekinesis’ and could steal any non-living object within a ten-meter diameter."

"You...what are you implying?"

Ye Qingyin once again stared at Chen Wenhua, remaining impassive. "Nothing. Just...pleasure meeting you, Mr. Phantom Thief."

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about!"

Ignores Chen Wenhua, Ye Qingyin continued, "Just like the other superpowers, ’Telekinesis’ relies on ap particles and its user’s physical strength. The ability exhausts so much energy and spiritual power that someone with lacking stamina can’t control ap particles for a long duration. Because you were exhausted, the ’Field with Crows’, which was yet to be completely moved from the museum, got laid bare in the corner. Isn’t that right, young Chen Wenhua?"

Chen Wenhua’s face finally changed - "Who exactly are you?"

"A year ago, a medieval crown mysteriously disappeared from an exhibition. I was hired to retrieve it," Ye Qingyin said, unperturbed.

"I can give you back that crown, but you have to promise not to reveal my identity, especially to Brother Gang and his family," said Chen Wenhua, looking down at his feet before raising his eyes to look at Ye Qingyin.

"Deal." Ye Qingyin agreed promptly.

Whew~

Chen Wenhua could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Watching Ye Qingyin, he asked, "Why are you a bounty hunter at such a young age?"

"Out of necessity. We’re not like you posh, big-family kids. Our genetic modifications aren’t planned and carried out with safety measures. We’re orphans abandoned by our parents, uncared-for test subjects, and left to our own devices. The ones lucky enough to survive have to work hard to make money and support ourselves. And besides..."

Pausing briefly, Ye Qingyin added, "It’s easier for children to keep their identities disguised."

After a moment’s consideration, Ye Qingyin asked, "Considering your wealthy family background, why would you take such risks to be a phantom thief?"

Scratching his head bashfully, Chen Wenhua let a childlike side slip, "I just thought - since God gifted me the ability of ’telekinesis’, if I didn’t make the most of this gift, it would be a waste."

Ye Qingyin: ..

So that’s how you make the most of your talent – by becoming a phantom thief. I’m learning something new.

"Is there anyone else in this world with the ability of ’telekinesis’?" Ye Qingyin, curiously, asked.

Chen Wenhua pondered, replying, "Probably not."

Taking a moment, Chen Wenhua added, "By the way, Sister Qingyin, are you a high-order genetic modifier who has unlocked the Seventh Brain Domain? What’s your superpower?"

"Well, no comment on that," retorted Ye Qingyin.

Chen Wenhua continued to look at Ye Qingyin, and suddenly, his cheeks flushed red.

Awfully prudish, huh?

"I just realized, you’re so cool and so pretty," Chen Wenhua muttered while scratching his head, turning beet red.

Ye Qingyin: ..

"Forget about it. I’m not interested in brats." After saying that, Ye Qingyin quipped, "Kids these days sure do grow up fast."

Ye Qingyin was about to say something more when Yang Gang approached with a few bottles of hot drink, his cheeks harboring a shade of inexplicable blush.

True to his mature nature, Chen Wenhua understood immediately.

"Sister Qingyin, you...you don’t like Brother Gang, do you?!"

The word ’Brother’ was absent now.

Yang Gang, bringing the hot drink, glanced at Chen Wenhua, "Oh, Wenhua, you look much better now. Eh, why is your face all hostile?"

Ye Qingyin took the drink handed by Yang Gang, shrugged her shoulders and said, "A kid’s face is like a summer’s day, it changes instantly."

"I’m not a kid. Even if I am, one day I’ll grow up into a reliable man. And definitely more reliable than Yang Gang!" Chen Wenhua claimed passionately.

Huh?!

Yang Gang’s face turned black.

What’s wrong with this brat now?

"What happened?" Yang Fei walked over, blinking with a bewildered expression.

"Who knows why this dude got a screw loose. He turned aggressive the moment I got back with the drinks. This is why I hate kids..."

Before he could finish, Yang Gang’s expression froze.

Shocked, Zhang Miao was gawking at him.

Reacting, Yang Gang rushed over to Zhang Miao, scratched his head, saying, "Well, Sister Miao, I wasn’t talking about your child, I was...uh..."

Zhang Miao chuckled, "I know."

As Yang Fei walked over, she looked at Zhang Miao’s belly with curiosity and asked, "Sister Miao, what’s it like to be pregnant?"

Zhang Miao smiled, "If you want to find out, you could try getting pregnant yourself."

Yang Fei’s cheeks flushed red, "Sister Miao, don’t tease me. I don’t even have a boyfriend yet."

"Hmm, do you want me to introduce someone to you?" Zhang Miao laughed lightly.

Before Yang Fei could respond, Yang Gang spoke, "Uh, Sister Miao, please don’t trouble yourself with that. Granny said that it’s my responsibility to find a boyfriend for Feifei."

"Is that so? It seems like Feifei’s going to have a hard time getting married," Zhang Miao said, laughing.

"Why is that?" Feifei asked, her eyes wide in confusion.

"It’s nothing." Zhang Miao said with a chuckle.

"Oh." Yang Fei muttered thoughtfully. She pulled Zhang Miao aside and whispered, "Sister Miao, I heard from Xiaorou that you’re an expert in romantic matters. I wanted to ask you, how can I confirm if I like someone?"

Seeing Yang Fei’s sincere expression, Zhang Miao said gently, "Feifei, I will tell you one thing: a woman’s body is more honest than her heart. When you understand this, congratulations - you will have found the person you love."

"Oh." Yang Fei blinked, clearly not understanding the meaning of those words. Still, she didn’t ask any further.

Turning to Yang Gang, Zhang Miao advised with a smile, "Gang, try to spend time with your fiancée when you can. She’s been looking quite lonely lately. And remember, there’s nothing scarier than a lonely woman. Before you know it, she might be cheating on you."

Yang Gang’s face crumbled. Holding back his emotions, he said, "Alright, I’ll keep that in mind."

"Then you all carry on." After saying this, Zhang Miao left.

When Yang Gang turned around, he noticed that Ye Qingyin had disappeared without him noticing.

"Where’s Qingyin?" Yang Gang asked.

"She left when that lady came over," Chen Wenhua replied.

"Oh." Yang Gang didn’t think much of it. He turned to Yang Fei, saying, "Feifei, you take Wenhua home. I’m going to catch up with Su Xiaoxi. The thought of being cheated on is too disgraceful for a man."

Just as he finished speaking, he glanced around casually, and his face froze again.

"Hey, what’s wrong? Did you spot another woman?" Yang Fei’s tone held a hint of discontent.

Still with a frozen expression, Yang Gang tugged Yang Fei closer, murmuring, "Feifei, we have a serious issue. It looks like our family may have another member soon."
