Chapter 165: His Wife Still Spoils Him the Most

Walking ahead, Yun Qimu moved with calm composure, but the corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.

Now was definitely not the time to reveal the location of Earth Village!

Wu Xingyu seemed to sense something and glanced sideways at her. “You’re a psychic ability user?”

Yun Qimu tilted her head, raised an eyebrow, and smiled at him. “Isn’t it obvious?”

Wu Xingyu was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly. “Not really.”

Yun Qimu’s starry eyes sparkled with amusement, her tone teasing. “Tsk, then you must just be a bit slow.”

Wu Xingyu was taken aback, a little bewildered. Slow? Was he really slow?

No one had ever called him that before.

“Third Brother, what’s wrong?” Yun He, walking behind, nearly bumped into him when he suddenly stopped.

Wu Xingyu’s beautiful face quickly returned to its usual cold hardness. He turned and shot Yun He a frosty glance. “Nothing. Watch where you’re going. Don’t walk around with your eyes closed.”

“Hey—” Yun He widened his eyes, feeling wronged, and muttered, “I always walk with my eyes open! I just turned around to look at those people who got frozen in place. Third Brother, was that Village Chief Yun’s doing? What kind of ability does she have? How can she immobilize people like that? Usually when she’s fighting monsters, all I see is her using that golden axe that can change size. I’ve never seen her use any abilities.”

“Wait, that’s not right. When she saved Zhong Qiu before, Village Chief Yun used her ability too, made those people move like puppets on strings. So strong.”

“It’s just a psychic ability, isn’t it? Third Brother just asked, and Village Chief Yun admitted it.” Compared to Yun He, who was completely distracted by the “frozen” people, Yuan An—who was much more emotionally intelligent—had been watching every move between his Third Brother and Village Chief Yun.

He even quietly edged closer to eavesdrop, ears perked up.

“Oh, so it’s a psychic ability! No wonder the awakening rate is only one in a hundred thousand. It’s so powerful! She can force those rats hiding in the shadows into the open and freeze them in place. Look at those pale faces—obviously guilty consciences.” Yun He spat disdainfully.

Huan Linyuan, also a psychic ability user, felt like crying.

No, no, little brother, I think you’ve misunderstood what psychic powers can do.

He couldn’t do anything like that!

Let alone freezing so many people at once—he’d struggle to do even one, especially the way Village Chief Yun did it, without even turning her head, instantly immobilizing them and forcing even the invisible ones to reveal themselves, all without any eye contact. What other psychic could pull off something so cool and badass?

Even as an S-class psychic, he couldn’t manage that.

To freeze someone so that their body was stiff but their facial features still active, he’d have to go one-on-one, eye to eye, and even then, it’d take at least a minute—no, thirty seconds at best.

So, what level of psychic ability user was this seemingly delicate, frail Village Chief Yun?

Huan Linyuan looked at her with curiosity.

He watched as Yun Qimu raised a hand, drew a card, and called out, “Summon—”

A fierce wind whipped up, and three magnificent white horses appeared in midair, each with a pair of snowy, angelic wings on their backs.

Those who’d never seen such horses, like Huan Linyuan, gaped in shock.

“Is this also Village Chief Yun’s ability?” Huan Linyuan pointed at the three white horses, now standing on the ground, eyes filled with awe and fascination.

The horses’ coats were pure white and glossy, and their clear blue eyes were utterly enchanting.

He fell in love at first sight.

Even Kun Sang, who was usually gruff and unimpressed by anything, was dumbstruck by the sight of the three white horses.

On this exile planet, transportation was scarce. When they’d first arrived from Molan City, they’d brought mechs, spaceships, even a battleship—but none of them had power sources.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, they’d never use them. So, most of the time, everyone traveled on foot. Those with some skill might venture deep into the Forest of Wood and catch a few lucid mutant beasts to use as mounts.

But such beasts rarely lasted long. The planet was saturated with dark matter, and any captured mutant beast would soon turn berserk. So, after the initial attempts, few people bothered with mutant beasts as mounts—too much trouble, and if they suddenly went wild, the rider would be in danger.

But these three white horses were different. There was no trace of savagery about them. Their deep blue eyes were even clearer than a human’s—clearly not ordinary mutant beasts.

And with Yun Qimu’s earlier shout of “Summon,” Huan Linyuan suspected she was a dual-ability user, maybe with a summoning power for mutant animals.

But Yun Qimu just blinked. “Nope, these are a specialty from Earth Village.”

“What—” Huan Linyuan and the others’ jaws dropped in delight. Cang Ying rubbed his hands excitedly. “Earth Village raises horses like this? Then—then can we buy one too?”

Yun Qimu was momentarily stunned, then laughed. “You misunderstood. I didn’t mean these three horses are Earth Village’s specialty—I meant the card I used just now is.”

Huan Linyuan was confused. “What’s the difference?”

“Of course there’s a difference. Pei Yu, you explain it to them.”

Yun Qimu busied herself with the baskets, leaving the explaining to Pei Yu, who could talk anyone’s ear off and had a real knack for storytelling.

Sure enough, after listening to Pei Yu’s vivid, animated description of life in Earth Village, with plenty of personal touches, Huan Linyuan, the ten people from Molan City, and Mr. and Mrs. Kui Hai were all filled with longing for Earth Village and even more excited for their upcoming visit.

Kui Hai squeezed his wife’s hand, eyes smiling as he winked at her. “I think when we get back, Zhong Teng will complain that I stole his job.”

Ying Hua frowned, her heroic brows knitting in disapproval. “You finally got a chance to get out and breathe a little—how could he blame you? If he does, just tell him to come fight me. If he still complains, I’ll fight him again. My fists are hard enough to convince him.”

“Mm.” Kui Hai was satisfied.

His wife really did spoil him the most!

On the other side, Yun Qimu was already calling Yun He, Yuan An, and Wu Xingyu over to help tie the three big baskets to the three horses.

She clapped her hands and called out to those still crowding around Pei Yu for more stories, “Alright, split into three groups and stand in the baskets. We’re about to head out.”

Pei Yu quickly echoed, “Yes, yes, get in first! Once we get to Earth Village, you’ll see it all for yourselves!”"
