She walked into the bedroom, lay down on the bed, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
In the living room, Ye Junci sat there, staring blankly. Suddenly, tears streamed down her face, and she stammered, âZhenmian, I⦠I donât even know how to thank Miss Si.â
Since childhood, she had been tormented by her unstable bloodline, and she never dared to use her powers as an evolved being openly, fearing that the surge of energy might cause her body to explode.
More evolved beings had died from this cause than from combat.
Ye Junci had long resigned herself to this fate; it was her destiny.
But she couldnât accept it, not until she had found Ye Zhenmian.
Now that she had found her, a sense of peace settled in her heart, even though she knew that death was inevitable and that it would come soon.
Yet, she never imagined that one day, she would be able to use her abilities as an evolved being without restraint.
The gratitude she felt towards Si Fuqing was akin to the deepest form of life-giving kindness.
âWe have to take good care of ourselves so that she can focus on other things,â Ye Zhenmian said, handing Ye Junci a few tissues, concern evident in her voice. âSister, now that your bloodline has stabilized, you donât have to worry about the Evolved Beings Allianceâs assessment, right?â
âYes, Iâm fully confident,â Ye Junzi replied, her expression cold. âI can also retrieve our parentsâ belongings. Tomorrow, Iâll go to the Evolved Beings Alliance and get the token.â
There was an insurmountable gap between a Class A evolved being and a Class B one. Ye Junci was the only Class A evolved being in the Ye family.
None of the others could match her.
After a long pause, Ye Junci finally managed to calm her excitement.
Suddenly, as if a thought struck her, she asked, âZhenmian, Miss Siâs abilities as an evolved beingâ¦â
She had never heard of anyone being able to borrow anotherâs evolved abilities.
But she vaguely recalled that the Evolved Beings Alliance had once captured a Class A evolved being who could absorb othersâ life force, memories, knowledge, and personalities through skin contact, thereby gaining their superpowers.
However, Si Fuqing seemed different from that highly dangerous evolved being.
Ye Zhenmian smiled and shook her head. âI donât know. I never pry into Qingqingâs private affairs.â
âRight, right,â Ye Junci nodded solemnly. âWe mustnât let this leak out. If she gets captured and used as a test subject, it would be disastrous.â
She was determined to keep this secret.

The next day, Si Fuqing slept until noon, a full twelve hours, but she still didnât feel fully rested.
She went to the dining room, where Ye Zhenmian had left plenty of food for her.
Si Fuqing devoured it rapidly, finishing everything in no time.
At that moment, the door opened, and a surprised voice exclaimed, âLittle junior sister, youâre eating like you havenât eaten in six months!â
âFifth senior brother?â Si Fuqing rubbed her eyes and looked over. âYouâre back?â
âYes, little junior sister. Iâm here to tell you that Iâm returning to the Free State.â YUAN Mingchi held up his phone. âI have to discard this number. Once Iâm back, Iâll definitely be under investigation by the Holy Light Tribunal. I wonât be able to contact you for a while, so please take care of yourself.â
Si Fuqingâs expression changed slightly. âThe Holy Light Tribunalâ¦â
She had been there before. The tribunal had a place called the âSilent Black Room,â where she had spent seven days.
When she came out, even the usually stern eldest senior brother had looked at her with deep concern, afraid she might lose even a single strand of hair.
Later, she heard that anyone who had been inside, even for just one day, came out insane.
âDonât worry, itâll be fine,â YUAN Mingchi smiled. âYour friend took the blame, so the tribunal wonât do anything to me. Iâm more worried about you.â
âAlright,â Si Fuqing exhaled slowly. âIâll come back. Wait for me.â
âDonât return now,â YUAN Mingchi said calmly. âItâs too chaotic. Wait until your strength has recovered. Iâm leaving now. Donât see me off. Yamata no Orochi said there are people watching me outside.â
Si Fuqing could only watch as he left.
She poured herself a glass of water and stared out the window, a glint of anger flashing in her eyes.
She remained lost in thought until her phone chimed with a notification.
A WeChat message had come in.
[Yu Xiheng]: Iâm downstairs.
[Si Fuqing]: Coming, coming! Twirl.gif
Si Fuqing packed her things and returned to the set.

At this time, at the headquarters of the Evolved Beings Alliance.
Professor Luo, who was in charge of issuing evolved beingsâ ID cards and other documents, was reviewing some files.
There was a knock on the office door. âProfessor Luo, someoneâs here to collect their token. Theyâre a Class A evolved being, so we need you to handle it.â
Professor Luo adjusted his glasses. âComing.â
He stepped out and was surprised when he saw Ye Junci. âItâs you.â
He remembered this woman from the Ye family, a Class A evolved beingâa rare occurrence in a small family like hers.
Unfortunately, her unstable bloodline made her weaker than even a Class A, which was why she hadnât received her token yet.
Professor Luo shook his head and sighed. âLetâs draw blood. Please wait a moment. How have you been feeling lately?â
Ye JunCi smiled. âNot bad. I should be able to get my token this time.â
Professor Luo didnât want to dampen her spirits, so he said nothing more.
The machine they used could detect the level and abilities of an evolved being through blood analysis. T
he robots made by the Intercontinental Research Institute had this program built into their systems, which helped them better deal with evolved beings.
But if the bloodline was unstable, the machine would mark the person as dangerous, and no information would be displayed because these evolved beings were doomed to die eventually, making it unnecessary to issue them tokens.
âBeep, beepââ
Ten minutes later, the machine beeped, and Professor Luo was surprised.
In her previous tests, the machine had always triggered an alarm.
He leaned in to look at the screen.
Lines of information appeared on the display.
[Name]: Ye Junci.
[Evolved Being Class]: A@@novelbin@@
[Evolved Being Ability]: Telekinesis, with some degree of telepathy.
Professor Luoâs hand froze on the screen, and his mind buzzed.
A psychic evolved being!
This news is going to be explosive!
