A strange town full of ability users

Ye Jiang found this to be very reasonable, so she stopped asking questions.

The dark-skinned man lowered his eyes and continued walking forward.

Ye Jiang changed the subject and asked her, "Where are you going?"

The dark-skinned man snapped, "Go home!"

Ye Jiang followed.

The dark-skinned man paused upon hearing footsteps, then quickened his pace, easily keeping up with Ye Jiang. The dark-skinned man's eyelids twitched. "Why are you following me?!"

Ye Jiang looked at the sky. "It's getting dark, and there are no hotels in town."

The dark-skinned man sensed something was amiss. "So?"

So I'm going to stay at your house.

"?"

The dark-skinned woman seemed to doubt her ears, rummaging around rather inelegantly. Seeing Ye Jiang following her, her pale face appearing like a lingering, weak spirit in the darkening sky, she realized her ears weren't the problem. This little brat really intended to come home with her! The dark-skinned woman's expression shattered. She moved, the air beneath her feet shifting abnormally, her legs seeming to have accelerators, and suddenly she vanished from her spot.

The dark-skinned woman's superpower is air manipulation, which allows her to move her body at incredible speeds, comparable to speed-based superpowered individuals if used properly. She ran all the way back to her front door.

A detached courtyard house appeared before the dark-skinned woman. She breathed a sigh of relief and stopped to stretch her body. After all, she wasn't a speed-type ability user; her body was a bit overloaded from overusing speed.

"Is this your home?" A slightly cold voice came from behind her. The dark-skinned girl turned around abruptly, and a pale, frail little boy appeared behind her, his gaze sweeping over her as she surveyed the small courtyard.

This guy caught up!

Although she knew beforehand that this little guy might be a speed-type ability user, and had even experienced his speed firsthand, she never expected that she wouldn't be able to shake him off even when she used all her strength.

The dark-skinned woman had never revealed to anyone that her superpower level was B-Rank, second only!

According to the power level classification, I'm definitely one of the best among power users, but this little bean...

The dark-skinned man felt guilty and flustered, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Just as the dark-skinned man stared at Ye Jiang in shock, a tall, slender figure emerged from the shadows not far away and came into their line of sight.

The young man seemed to possess an ability to diminish his own presence, which is why the dark-skinned man noticed him.

"You..."

"There are no hotels in town, but a town resident told me you're quite hospitable," the young man said to the dark-skinned man, who then gave him directions.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiang's expression immediately changed. "Is that so?"

She readily believed that the dark-skinned man was a friendly guest, and stared at him with a newfound respect.

square.

Dark-skinned. "..."

Which heartless bastard spread rumors and framed her?!

Don't let her know who it is, or she'll kill them and feed them to the dogs!

She stared at the two shameless uninvited guests with an uncertain expression, then suddenly laughed, pushed open the gate to her courtyard, made way for them, and sneered, "Fine, I'm just that hospitable, come on in."

She secretly used her supernatural powers to create an air barrier at the doorway; the air was invisible, but the obstruction was tangible.

To ensure nothing went wrong, she hesitated for a moment, then quickly added dozens more layers of barriers as thin as cicada wings.

Her expression was sarcastic, and she said insincerely, "Please come in, guest."

She refused to believe that those two people could break through her barrier and get in!

Ye Jiang looked at the young man, who looked at her and said, "You go first."

The dark-skinned man crossed his arms and sneered, "Tsk, so humble now? Does he really think this is a welcoming gate?"

Ye Jiang didn't say anything and went inside.

She walked through the door without the slightest hesitation, as if the dozens of layers of air barrier didn't exist. The dark-skinned woman lowered her arms that had been crossed over her chest.

Then the young man also went in, equally composed, as if strolling leisurely, without pausing for a moment.

The two people who entered the courtyard turned back to look at the dark-skinned homeowner, as if they were waiting for her to come in.

Silence.

The dark-skinned man walked absentmindedly into the courtyard, and after a few steps, he bumped into an invisible barrier.

"..."

So the barrier was there after all.

These two people...

Chapter 85 A Strange Town Full of Superpowered Individuals

In the courtyard, which was neither too big nor too small, the host and the two guests faced each other in silence. As the sky grew darker, the solar-powered lights under the eaves spontaneously lit up. Under the light, the owner of the courtyard, Hua Ling, suppressed her explosive temper, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She stared at the two "guests" with a deep gaze for a long time before turning her gaze away and walking towards her own small building.

She didn't make any further attempts to drive them away, adopting an "I don't care" attitude.

Why bother driving them away? Can't you see that these outsiders are all hiding their true strength and are unfathomable?

Hua Ling was determined to do whatever she wanted; there was nothing she could do to stop her anyway.

Click.

A sharp cracking sound jolted Hua Ling's nerves. Her patience was still lacking, and her brow twitched several times because of the sound. Turning around, she saw the guest, whom she had mistaken for an immature child, vandalizing her courtyard wall. The guest's fingers slid lightly, leaving a deep vertical line on the hard white stone wall.

Hua Ling took a deep breath. "What are you doing?"

Ye Jiang put her hand away, rubbed the dust off her fingers, and said seriously, "Pay for the room, and you'll get one treatment opportunity. This is your receipt."

The vertical line represents "1," signifying one treatment session. She is also striving to be a law-abiding citizen today.

The anger vanished instantly, and Hua Ling's eyes widened in astonishment. "You're Healer?"

Ye Jiang recalled the certificate the Ability Control Bureau had given her and slightly puffed out her chest, "A-Rank."

Hua Ling was genuinely surprised to hear this. She had thought this little guy, who was so much shorter than her, was a combat-type ability user, but she hadn't expected him to be a Healer as well. Had she been living in the countryside for too long and become ignorant? She didn't know that these days, the labels of advanced healing and advanced combat ability could be attached to the same person.

Her expression changed several times, finally softening considerably.

The room rate is quite good; this is a viable business opportunity.

Having tasted success, Hua Ling turned her attention to another customer. A silver, metallic object flew from the young man's hand towards her. Hua Ling caught it, examined it closely, and the young man said, "A-Rank, one-time-use offensive superpower item."

A one-time attack item, not as precious as A-Rank Healer's healing, but not bad either. Hua Ling smiled, put the item away, and pushed open the door.

There are vacant rooms on the second floor. Find a room yourself.

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and disappeared into a room on the first floor in the blink of an eye.

Hua Ling's house was a small, two-story wooden building, which looked much like the other houses in town. Ye Jiang randomly entered a room on the second floor. There was a bed in the room, but no bedding was made up, and there was no sense of human touch. If there were really no guests coming to town, the other rooms probably wouldn't be any better, so she didn't continue to look for a room and stayed there. Before entering the room, she saw the young man go into the next room.

It was already completely dark. Ye Jiang went inside and didn't go out again. She had brought food with her to make her way, and there was still some left, which she could use for dinner.

The next room was quiet, as if no one lived there. Ye Jiang ate an energy bar while her mind wandered. The image of the young man named Rong Yin floated through her mind, as did the image of the dark-skinned homeowner, and her friends far away in City A...

She was full.

Go to sleep.

As the first hint of dawn broke on the horizon, Ye Jiang went downstairs. The homeowner, Hua Ling, was eating a kind of flatbread. Ye Jiang's gaze lingered on the fragrant flatbread in Hua Ling's hand. For the first second, Hua Ling didn't notice; the second second, her chewing slowed; and the third second, she choked, raising her eyelids to glare at Ye Jiang averted her gaze and left.

Hua Ling continued eating her pancake with a sour taste in her mouth, suddenly wondering if she had gone too far. She was such a tiny little thing; she couldn't possibly eat that much. What was wrong with sharing some of her breakfast?

"Tsk."

Hua Ling clicked her tongue, feeling inexplicably guilty.

Another guest stood quietly on the stairs. When Hua Ling noticed him, he seemed to have been standing there for a while. As soon as Hua Ling looked up, he turned around and went back upstairs.

"..."

Hua Ling touched her arm. Sometimes, when this outsider looked at her, she felt a strange, electric-like shiver run through her skin.

Not long after Ye Jiang went out, she came across a breakfast stall selling the kind of pancakes that Hua Ling ate. It was open for business, but the stall owner was lying on a wooden recliner with his eyes closed and legs crossed. His head was resting on one arm, and the other arm was casually draped over his abdomen. His fingers were moving slightly, and a thin thread connected the middle finger of this hand to a wooden puppet in front of the stall not far away. The faceless puppet was kneading dough and making pancakes in place of the owner, and the aroma of scallions filled the air.

Ye Jiang stopped in front of the shop. The owner, without opening his eyes, said, "Five yuan a piece."

"Two." Ye Jiang said, her gaze falling on the boss's middle finger, where a Blood Moon symbol was slightly hidden by black lines.

The owner of this breakfast stall is also a person with superpowers and has black tattoos.

The boss suddenly opened his eyes and looked Ye Jiang up and down.

"Outsiders?" His eyes darkened. "I heard two outsiders came to town, and it turns out it's true... Outsiders, I don't do business with you."

"I want to add eggs and sausages," Ye Jiang said to the puppet making the pancakes. She saw that sausages and eggs were placed on the stall.

"Hey, aren't you listening to me?"

Don't add too much scallion.

"..."

I didn't hear a thing!
