Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Ice Element

Auntie Lin Tianzhen led Mao Qiqi into the cleansing room, and Su Jin followed as well. Since Mao Qiqi was still very young, she planned to use her Wood element ability to help Mao Qiqi.

After Mao Qiqi took the Marrow Cleansing Pill, her face turned red from the pain, but she endured it without crying. Lin Tianzhen was moved by her daughter’s strength; ever since she started giving Mao Qiqi nightly talks about the Apocalypse, little Qiqi had become stronger and stronger.

Su Jin wrapped the Healing Vine around Mao Qiqi’s body. Qiqi felt as if cool water was slowly easing her pain. Within about 10 minutes, her pain had dissipated.

Su Jin felt emotional, noticing how adaptable children could be. Furthermore, the impurities expelled by Qiqi were a light grey color, not as foul and unbearable as those from adults.

Lin Tianzhen, seeing her daughter’s improvement, finally felt at ease.

Su Jin took the now-cleansed Mao Qiqi outside, where the waiting crowd saw her leading a delicate and lovely little girl out. They couldn’t help wanting to take turns holding her, as the current Mao Qiqi was just too adorable.

Lu Hao, standing to the side and watching, grew even more resolute in his belief that he and Su Jin must have such an adorable daughter in the future.

Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo felt refreshed and energized after taking the Foundation Building Pill. The two only had to visit the restroom a few times and experienced no other discomfort. Li Xiuying’s partially grey hair even turned black again. Lin Yunguo also appeared much younger, all thanks to the effects of the Foundation Building Pill.

After the family had taken the pills, they sat down for a chat at the Lu Residence. Lin Cheng felt as if they had forgotten something.

Right, where was Lin Xiuyuan, that kid?

At that moment, Lin Xiuyuan, naked and soaking in the creek, felt an abundance of strength filling his body. However, he also sensed something off. The water around him, originally flowing gently, had slowly solidified into a transparent substance around him—it felt cool to the touch, ice chunks?

Lin Xiuyuan broke off a piece with his hand, and it gradually melted back into water in his palm. It wasn’t cold here, so why would there be ice? Lin Xiuyuan muttered in confusion.

Just then, Lu Hao came over. Su Jin had sent him to check on Xiuyuan and also to bring him a set of clothes.

“Brother-in-law, how could there be ice chunks in this creek? Look,”

Lin Xiuyuan, forgetting the unpleasant feeling of being forgotten by everyone, held up a freshly broken piece of ice to show Lu Hao on the shore.

“Why don’t you come out first and get dressed?” Lu Hao said, trying not to laugh at Lin Xiuyuan, who still sat unaware in the water.

“Oh right, I should get dressed first. Thanks, brother-in-law.”

Lin Xiuyuan quickly dressed himself with his back to Lu Hao.

“If I’m not mistaken, you must have awakened to a Special Ability,”

Lu Hao said, turning to face the now dressed Lin Xiuyuan.

Upon hearing this, Xiuyuan’s eyes lit up: “Brother-in-law, you mean like Su Jin’s Special Ability?”

“Yes,”

Lu Hao had Xiuyuan follow his instructions, and Xiuyuan successfully formed an irregular ice object.

Seems like it’s a type of Water Element Ability.

“Brother-in-law, I really wanted a Fire Element Ability, so why did I end up with Ice?” After the initial excitement, Xiuyuan felt a bit dismayed.

“Like this?” Lu Hao’s hand showed a flame.

“Brother-in-law, you have a Fire Element Ability?! That’s so cool!” Indeed, the Fire Element Ability seemed very cool; his Ace the Fire Fist…

Lu Hao smiled and nodded, then urged Xiuyuan to return to the Lu Residence quickly, as the family was still waiting for him.
