Huang Quan hadn’t planned to hide her newfound abilities from Nangong Mian forever. She had previously thought of finding a suitable moment to tell him after some time. In her plans, there was no accidental discovery.
However, being discovered in this manner had put her in an awkward situation. So, the question was, what should she do in this situation?
Nangong Mian had experienced the recovery process facilitated by her life energy and didn’t feel any discomfort. He sat up, examining Huang Quan intently.
“Quanquan, why…do you possess spiritual power?” Nangong Mian was puzzled. Huang Quan, who didn’t previously have a spiritual root, had suddenly gained spiritual power. This raised many questions for him.
Nangong Mian knew about her lack of spiritual roots. He had been able to find reasons to convince himself of her other transformations, but the presence of spiritual power, a rare Light spiritual root, was a whole different matter.
Nangong Mian’s emotions were complex. He was elated that Huang Quan had acquired a spiritual root, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy about the sudden transformation in her.
Huang Quan felt extremely uncomfortable under his scrutiny and hesitated. She finally said, “Third brother, can you give me a little more time?”
Nangong Mian looked at her in concern, asking, “What happened to you?”
“After we find our parents, I’ll explain everything to you.” Huang Quan hesitated for a moment. “Is that okay, third brother?”
Nangong Mian loved his sister dearly, and when he saw her hesitating, he decided not to press the issue further. He softened his tone and asked, “How long do you think we’ll have to wait?”
Huang Quan replied, “It might take a while… Until we find our parents.”
“Third brother, Can I ask you a question?”
Nangong Mian looked at her, still puzzled, and inquired, “What’s the question you want to ask?”
Huang Quan looked at him seriously. “I’m from the Nangong family, right? So, why am I called Huang Quan?” She had wanted to ask this question ever since she woke up in this world. However, at the time, the previous owner had just passed away, and she was afraid that asking this question would distress Nangong Mian. So she had refrained from it.
Nangong Mian didn’t expect that Huang Quan would bring up this question, and he furrowed his brow, saying, “I don’t know either.”
He had inquired about the origins of Huang Quan’s name from his parents and siblings previously, but none of them had a clear answer. His parents just smiled mysteriously and remained silent, leaving him in the dark.
“Only our parents know,” Nangong Mian said with a hint of bitterness. He meant that finding their parents might be the key to unraveling the mystery of Huang Quan’s name.
Huang Quan reassured him, “It’s not a big deal, third brother. There have been changes in my body since I fell into the water, but I can’t explain them in detail just yet. However, no matter what changes have occurred, I am still Huang Quan, your sister. That will never change.”
Nangong Mian, unable to press her further, sighed, “Alright, I won’t ask any more.”
Huang Quan smiled in relief.
Seeing her smile, Nangong Mian asked, “Quanquan, have these changes had any negative effects on you?”
Huang Quan shook her head and replied, “No.”
Nangong Mian was relieved, and he stopped pursuing the issue of the changes. Instead, he inquired, “Quanquan, is your spiritual power related to the legendary light system?”
