“Kid, come with us and you might get away with a bit less trouble!” one of them said, his eyes scanning the red marks on Xu Song’s neck, perhaps wondering if he was some rich young master raised by someone in the base. They needed to act quickly, if they were found here, they might not get away unscathed.
Xu Song looked at them in silence, hesitating. Should he just throw a fireball at them, or should he try the combat skills he had been practicing for so long?
“Pretty boy, come with us willingly, or else… hmph,” one of the men said, his gaze frequently wandering over Xu Song’s body, licking his lips in a repulsive manner.
Xu Song furrowed his brow and abandoned the idea of engaging in close combat with these disgusting individuals. If possible, he would have preferred to turn them into ashes.
“Get lost.” Before anyone could react, a shadow passed by, and the three men were kicked in the stomach, sending them flying, which prompted gasps from the onlookers.
Yue Zheng stood by Xu Song’s side with a cold expression. He hadn’t even looked at them, yet these jerks had harassed Xu Song. If he didn’t want to create trouble, he wouldn’t mind giving them a taste of his surgical skills.
Xu Song looked at Yue Zheng and said, “Shall we go back?”
“Aren’t you going to read?”
“When the weather gets warmer, let’s go to the city and collect it ourselves.” Xu Song had just glanced at the books being sold at the stall nearby, most of which were leisure novels, and some translated works. There were no textbooks. He had planned to buy a few books to pass the time, but now he had lost all interest.
Seeing this situation, the people around them gasped and quickly made way. Ability users… of course, there were quite a few ability users in this street, but no one was foolish enough to provoke these non-human beings.
In the eyes of ordinary people, ability users equaled non-humans, not humans, on the same level as mutated beasts.
A few more people noticed the wristwatch that Yue Zheng wore, revealing it faintly from under his sleeve, someone from a Class C squad, or a leader of a lower-ranked squad. Only Class C or higher squads had wristwatches for every member.
Anyway, both choices were not the kind of people ordinary folks could mess with.
The two of them ignored the three pretending to be dead on the ground and headed in the direction of Sector G. They hadn’t gone far when another group of people, armed with sticks and other “weapons,” were preparing to block their way.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
“Let’s go back to the city and find a Chinese almanac…”

Yue Zheng chuckled and patted his shoulder. “Sure, let’s look together.”
Yue Zheng’s actions seemed like a provocation. One of the men among the group had a grim face. “You two, if you don’t want to see blood, then leave everything you have.”
“We don’t have anything,” Xu Song’s temper flared, and he took off his mother’s beloved deer leather gloves and put them in his pocket. He was ready to throw a fireball at them.
One of the men among them let out a contemptuous laugh and looked at Xu Song with narrowed eyes. “Even if you have nothing, it’s fine. Just leave this pretty boy with us for a few days.”
How desperate were men these days?
Xu Song had been conflicted for a long time about turning straight for his mother’s sake and avoiding making her sad, but when he and Yue Zheng were together on the way here, they didn’t draw too much attention from others. How had it suddenly become like there were gay men everywhere on the streets? What about the women? Where had all the cute girls gone? What had they done to them?!
Xu Song, who was unaware of the situation, didn’t know that nowadays, even those with daughters and young wives were mostly reluctant to let them go out easily. The breakdown of the social system and the lack of safety in the safe zones meant that women were rarely seen on the streets. Even the price of prostitutes had skyrocketed.
Men, driven by repressed desires and reduced to their instincts, would occasionally experiment with same-sex encounters. Over time, especially among the lower strata of society, where they rarely saw women, many had become open to both genders. And on a day when opportunities to indulge in such desires were rare, encountering a fair and plump pretty boy like Xu Song, they were naturally reluctant to let him slip away easily.
Seeing Xu Song’s darkened expression, the group of men burst into laughter, and one of them kindly advised Yue Zheng, “Buddy, we know you’re an ability user too, but we’re not ordinary folks either. Risking your life for a pretty boy like him doesn’t seem worth it, does it?”
They had seen Yue Zheng engaging in a scuffle earlier, and they figured he was a speed-type ability user. So far, they hadn’t heard of any speed-type ability users being true experts, which is why they dared to come here to rob.
Of course, their original intention was just to snatch the backpack from Xu Song and his group, but seeing a pretty boy like Xu Song, they couldn’t resist some teasing. Moreover, if they could keep him…
“Yeah, it’s been days since we had meat,” another person chimed in, leading to more laughter from the group.
The man who had been speaking took a step forward, extending his hand, and conjured a small dark red fireball in his palm.
Xu Song’s anger inexplicably disappeared, and he stared coldly at the group. He locked eyes with the apparent leader among them. The man raised an eyebrow and was about to say something when he suddenly felt a dizzy spell and became completely immobilized. He couldn’t think or act anymore.
Xu Song also experienced a strange feeling at this moment. He seemed to have control over the man in front of him. As long as he continued to deal with him like this, the man couldn’t make any moves or take any actions.
This subtle sensation only lasted for a brief five seconds. After those five seconds, the leader of the group swayed, breaking out in a cold sweat, without understanding why. He was just filled with an inexplicable fear.
However, his companions didn’t notice his abnormality. In fact, two of them even rolled up their sleeves, ready to approach him.
After his momentary lapse, Xu Song quickly adjusted his brain. He knew that it seemed like he had developed something new after advancing his mental abilities. He would need to study and analyze the specifics later. For now…
A golden fire dragon flew out of his palm and instantly devoured the dark red, shivering fireball created by the man.
The man on the opposite side was momentarily stunned. He suddenly realized that at the moment when the fire dragon disappeared, ten golden fireballs were flying toward their feet. It created a huge crater upon impact.
“Fire… Fire dragon! C-class squad!” Even though they hadn’t seen it before and couldn’t remember the name of the first squad that had advanced to C-class, they had heard legends about the fire dragon. They also knew that the leader of the Panlong Squad couldn’t even manifest a fire dragon until now!
Although the dragon’s color was somewhat different, it was undoubtedly a fire dragon!
The others who had reacted wanted to flee but found a golden net blocking the path behind them. At some point, the intersection had formed a golden net. One of them reached out, and with a “sizzle,” his hand was instantly burned halfway!
“Charge! There are only two of them!” The leader had finally regained his senses and looked fierce. Most long-range abilities weren’t suitable for close combat. He believed that as long as he could rush Xu Song while the others distracted him, he could escape.
Before they had a chance to change direction, the tall and handsome young man from the two of them suddenly disappeared. In less than ten seconds, a group of thirty-one people, all with their arms and legs severed, lay groaning on the cold ground.
Yue Zheng’s eyes were filled with a chilling intent. “You should be thankful that we’re in the base…” If they were outside, he wouldn’t mind eliminating these basterds for the sake of the people. The world had already become so difficult, and they had ability user abilities, yet they were robbing their fellow citizens. It was a shame they didn’t deserve to live.
…
Xu Song sat sadly in the RV, holding a mirror in his hand. The person in the mirror was also frowning and sighing.
“You, when did you become so vain from childhood to now?” Xu Song’s sixteenth sigh annoyed his mother, who put down the half-finished knitting in her hand – the wool was obtained from a mutated sheep earlier.
Xu Song looked at his mother with a sad expression. “Mom, your son is quite manly, so why…”
“Why what?” Mother Xu didn’t understand, remembering that her son had been wearing a troubled expression ever since he returned from outside. “Did you encounter thugs outside?”
Xu Song choked and coughed due to his mother’s question, and after a long while, he reluctantly nodded.
Mother Xu chuckled. “Aren’t they just thugs?” She put down her knitting and sighed, her long hair, which had become slightly straighter, swaying as she moved.
“Your mother used to be a big beauty when she was young. Your father was worried about my safety at work, so he picked me up every day without fail. Later, I quit my job and said I wanted to open a small store. Your father was worried that I might encounter bad people, so he quit his job as well, and that’s when we started our little family business.”
She glanced at her son with a mocking smile. “You take after me, you know.”
Xu Song was feeling down because of the mention of his father, and he had another bout of coughing. After coughing for a long time, he protested, “But I’m a guy! A guy! Are there no straight guys left in this base?!”
Mother Xu coolly glanced at him again. “When Wu Jie and her friends came over last time, they even praised you, saying that the power of love is great. Look at your son, he’s becoming more and more irresistible. I think so too.”
Xu Song wanted to apologize for his sins. His pure masculinity had taken a turn down the wrong path since he met Yue Zheng, and now he was being “praised” by a group of women like this… He really didn’t want to live.
The culprit behind it all took their two sons into the car, he, who heard the conversation between the mother and son, walked inside without making any unnecessary expressions.
It was only when they climbed into the large bed that only the two of them shared after nightfall that he pinned someone down directly and fully demonstrated how “enticing and irresistible” he had become. He was unable to stop for a long time.
The result was that Xu Song didn’t get out of bed for a day, even eating his meals in bed.
Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
I caught up! Thank you for the update!
I remember some chapters ago someone was talking about consciously keeping things pure and not engaging in nightly activities every night 🤔🤔 hmm…I wonder who that was? such a hypocritical person, don’t you think so yue zheng?
