Chapter 211: Chapter 199: This Awakened Superpower Can Be Used to Tease Cats

Zheng Qiuyi knew her daughter was working part-time at a university classmate’s flower shop. She nodded, then suddenly brought something up.

"You mentioned before that your friend, Lin Li, helps you out a lot, right?

When your dad and I come to visit this time, you should ask him if he’s free. If he is, invite him out to eat with us!"

"..." Su Yue was stunned for a moment when her mom suggested inviting Lin Li out to eat. She quickly shook her head. "He’s been busy lately. I doubt he has the time."

"It’s just one meal; it won’t take that long. He’s helped you out so much. Your dad and I feel we should at least treat him to a meal to show our gratitude!" Zheng Qiuyi said with a cheerful laugh.

"Um... we’ll see," Su Yue replied vaguely. She knew her mom’s dinner invitation was just a pretext. What she really wanted was to meet Lin Li and do some snooping.

"Alright, that’s all I wanted to say. I’ll let you go! Get back to your workout routine." With that, Zheng Qiuyi ended the video call.p>"Phew..." After finishing the call with her mom, Su Yue let out a long sigh and muttered, "If I actually do as Mom says and call Lin Li out for dinner, I’d probably scare him off..."

With that, Su Yue tossed her phone aside and continued with her workout routine.

...

「Su Yue’s hometown.」

Su Chen finished his work and came out of the study. As he walked into the bedroom, he saw his wife doing something unusual. She was dressed in a white yoga outfit, practicing on a yoga mat.

"Honey, what are you doing?" Su Chen asked, looking puzzled.

"Yoga!" Zheng Qiuyi replied, in the middle of a difficult pose.

"I know you’re doing yoga. What I mean is, you don’t normally do it. Why the sudden urge?" Su Chen asked.

"Just exercising! I felt like I haven’t been moving enough lately, so I took out the yoga mat to do some yoga," Zheng Qiuyi explained with a smile.

"Oh." Su Chen nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. He then took his pajamas from the closet and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Seeing her husband go to take a shower, Zheng Qiuyi breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t told him the truth.

The real reason she’d suddenly pulled out her yoga mat was that during her call, her daughter had jokingly said she’d put on a little weight.

Even though Zheng Qiuyi was so graceful and elegant you couldn’t guess her age, with a well-proportioned figure that wasn’t the least bit fat, women of any age tend to be concerned about their bodies.

So, after her daughter’s joke about her putting on weight, Zheng Qiuyi’s immediate impulse was to exercise. The only question was how long her newfound resolve would last.

......

Inside South District Prison, after ten o’clock at night, all inmates serving their sentences had returned to their cells to sleep.

「Cell 501.」

A man, one-point-nine meters tall, with a square face, a shaved head, thick eyebrows, and corded muscles, lay sleeping on a wooden plank bed, dressed in a blue-and-white prison uniform.

STEP... STEP... STEP...

In the dim corridor, the sound of unhurried footsteps suddenly rang out.

Normally, the prison staff wouldn’t be patrolling the corridors at this hour, so it was exceedingly strange for someone to be there now.

"Cell 501," the visitor muttered before stopping in front of a cell.

Tie Qiu Heng was lying on his bed with his eyes closed, about to fall asleep, when he heard the footsteps from the corridor stop right in front of his cell. He was instantly filled with suspicion.

"It’s late. Is there something you need?" Tie Qiu Heng asked, opening his eyes. He turned his head and peered through the bars at the staff member standing before his cell.

The visitor stared at Tie Qiu Heng in silence for several seconds, as if confirming whether this was the person he was looking for.

"Hmm?" Seeing that the staff member didn’t speak, Tie Qiu Heng’s brow furrowed. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard the other person say a word that made his expression freeze.

"Cyan Blue," the staff member at the cell door said softly.

"You...?!" Hearing the word, an unbelievable possibility flashed through Tie Qiu Heng’s mind.

"Hurry. We don’t want to be discovered," the man at the door said succinctly, seeing Tie Qiu Heng’s reaction and knowing he had the right person.

Tie Qiu Heng quickly got up from the bed, put on his shoes, and hurried to the cell door.

"Brother, who sent you to rescue me?" Tie Qiu Heng asked excitedly.

"Steward Zhang," the man who came to rescue Tie Qiu Heng said in a low voice.

"So it was Steward Zhang! Brother, I’m wearing this bracelet. The moment I leave this prison, the Superpower Administration Bureau will know..."

Tie Qiu Heng raised his left hand and pointed to the metal bracelet on his right wrist as he spoke to his rescuer.

"Don’t worry about the bracelet. I have a way to deal with it." As he spoke, the rescuer took a small paper packet from his pocket.

He unwrapped the small paper packet, revealing some pink powder inside.

"Hold out your hand."

Tie Qiu Heng extended his right hand, the one with the metal bracelet. The rescuer immediately sprinkled the pink powder from the packet onto the metal bracelet.

HUMMM.

A faint golden Spiritual Light immediately appeared on the surface of the bracelet where the pink powder had been sprinkled. Then, with a CLICK, the metal bracelet came loose.

Tie Qiu Heng immediately sensed that the metal bracelet had stopped working. ’This thing’s useless now.’

This metal bracelet was a Spiritual Artifact developed by the Spiritual Energy Research Institute. Besides tracking the wearer’s location, it had another important function: to seal the Spiritual Energy in a Cultivator’s Dantian, rendering them unable to use it.

He didn’t know what the pink powder was made of to have such a miraculous effect.

To think a sprinkle of pink powder could disable a Spiritual Artifact developed by the Spiritual Energy Research Institute was truly amazing.

Freed from the metal bracelet’s restraint, Tie Qiu Heng could immediately mobilize the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian.

Ever since being captured by Investigators from the Superpower Administration Bureau, he had been unable to mobilize the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian.

As a Cultivator at the Second Order Middle Stage, he had possessed power far beyond that of ordinary people for many years.

Ever since his power was sealed, reducing him to an ordinary person, Tie Qiu Heng, who had once possessed extraordinary strength, had been in agony.

Now, having regained his extraordinary power, Tie Qiu Heng trembled with excitement.

CLICK.

After using the pink powder to disable the metal bracelet, the man who came to rescue Tie Qiu Heng immediately took a key from his pocket and opened the cell door.

"Follow me..."

Tie Qiu Heng suppressed his excitement, slipped the metal bracelet off his right wrist, and tossed it on the ground. Then, he followed the man who had come to rescue him and quickly left.

......

Under the hazy night sky, a man in a staff uniform and another in a blue-and-white prison uniform moved quickly through the grounds of South District Prison, heading toward a high wall in the distance.

A guard with poor eyesight walked out of the restroom.

He suddenly spotted two figures in the distance. Feeling a pang of suspicion, he shouted at them.

"Hey! What are you two doing out here this late at night?"

When Tie Qiu Heng heard the shout, he cursed inwardly, ’Damn, we’ve been spotted.’

Then, his muscles tensed, and he mobilized the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian, ready to strike the guard.
