The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

After an unknown amount of time, Xin Yi felt her body gradually adapt and regain much of its sensation. She slowly got up, sat cross-legged, and actively guided the supernatural power within her body to quickly absorb the power of lightning.

As a white light suddenly appeared in the distance, dawn was approaching. Xin Yi didn't care about wasting the power of the lightning and quickly refined it. However, she was caught off guard and suffered a backlash, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"Phew, I was really lucky this time. I almost messed things up. Next time I'll have to find a safe place to detonate mines!"

Feeling that the remaining lightning power within his body was no longer a threat, there was no need to waste time here; he could simply let his body absorb it slowly.

Because she attracted lightning into her body and lost control of it, Xin Yi could no longer use her powers to keep the rain out. Now she was soaked to the bone, and with her body blackened by the lightning, she would definitely look like a female beggar if anyone saw her.

Using the rain, Xin Yi quickly washed herself to at least make herself look less disheveled, and hurried back to Feng Hua's house in the dim light.

Xin Yi gently pushed open the courtyard gate. There was nothing amiss. It seemed that Feng Hua was still asleep and was about to slip into the kitchen.

"Yiyi?"

A shout made Xin Yi stop what she was doing instantly. She turned around and saw, "Hehe, Auntie's awake so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Feng Hua rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things. "Yi Yi, you're up so early?"

Xin Yi looked embarrassed. "Well... maybe it's because it's a new environment and I'm a little shy, so I just got up and went to exercise!"

Feng Hua glanced at the drizzling rain. "Exercising in the rain? You're something else. Look how dirty you are, did you slip and fall?"

Thank you for helping me come up with an excuse, "Yeah, I accidentally stepped into a puddle and slipped, so I want to take a shower first!"

"Okay, I'm going back to sleep. If I hadn't been so desperate, I would have stayed up until dawn before getting up to use the bathroom. There are clean clothes in the room, remember to get them!"

After Feng Hua finished speaking, she turned and went back to her room, but her expression became serious.

Xin Yi thought she had successfully covered up the matter, so she went back to her room to get a change of clothes. It was the same set she had left at the guesthouse last time, so it seemed that Feng Yi had brought it for her.

There was hot water in the kitchen, so there was no need to start a fire again. Xin Yi took a bucket, filled it with hot water, and took it to the toilet to take a shower.

After showering, Xin Yi returned to her bed in her room, ready to check on the results of tonight's activities.

Her lightning ability had increased significantly, likely reaching the mid-to-late stage of the initial level. However, Xin Yi also noticed that at the same level, her current total ability was much greater than in her previous life. It seemed that the power of lightning had a greater effect on her body than the nuclear bead, which made her feel better after being made to look so disheveled every time.

Xin Yi looked at the lotus mark on her wrist again. It had basically fully appeared, but it was not yet completely stable. She believed that it wouldn't be long before her spatial ability would awaken here, once all the lightning power in her body had been refined.

The thought of regaining her lost space, filled with countless inexhaustible resources, made Xin Yi so excited that she couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned, but finally decided to get up and make breakfast while she was in a good mood.

Back in her room, Feng Hua lay on the bed, no longer feeling tired. She kept thinking about Xin Yi's words. Who in their right mind would go out to exercise in the pouring rain? Either they're a simpleton like that brat, or there's something wrong with them. Could they be enemy agents?

Feng Hua was startled by her own guess. As if to comfort herself, she gently patted her chest. "It shouldn't be. Don't scare yourself. Yi Yi looks like a good person. She definitely can't be a spy. But if she really is, then the brat will be in danger. No, I need to talk to the brat first!"

Thinking of this, Feng Hua got up, dressed herself, and quietly walked out of the room.

Xin Yi had just put the washed rice into the pot to cook some porridge. She had eaten too much oily food last night, so she wanted to cleanse her stomach properly for breakfast.

As soon as I put the pot lid on, I vaguely heard the sound of the door opening. I guessed that Feng Hua must have gotten up. I went out of the kitchen and saw that Feng Hua was about to open the gate to the yard.

"Auntie, are you going out?"

Feng Hua was caught red-handed and was extremely nervous. She didn't know that I had seen through her disguise and was trying to tip her off. What if I killed her to cover it up?

Feng Hua grew increasingly frightened, and trembling, she turned to Xin Yi, "Yi Yi, I was just about to go out to buy breakfast!"

"No need to buy it, I'm already making it. You can eat it after you wash up!"

"This...is...okay too!"

Feng Hua obediently closed the door and walked towards the kitchen.

Xin Yi noticed Feng Hua trembling and thought she was wearing too little clothing and was a little cold. "Auntie, do you look a little cold? Go put on a coat!"

Feng Hua forced a smile. "It is a bit cold. I'll go inside and put on some clothes!"

After saying that, he quickly ran into the room and locked the door.

"What should I do? She must have figured it out. She won't let me go out. She's a spy, her skills must be excellent. My half-baked skills are probably no match for her! I really regret not seriously learning martial arts from Grandpa back then..."

Xin Yi picked some bok choy from the yard, added a few dried chilies, stir-fried it, and then took out the three braised eggs from last night, cut them in half, and put them on a plate.

Xin Yi placed the dishes and porridge on the table in the main room and waited for a while, but Feng Hua did not come out. Could he have fallen asleep again?

Xin Yi knocked on Feng Hua's door. "Auntie, come out for breakfast. Are you asleep?"

Upon hearing Xin Yi's voice, Feng Hua became even more frightened. "Yi... Yi Yi, I'll be right out, you eat first!"

Xin Yi, without suspecting anything, returned to the table and sat down. Not long after, she saw Feng Hua walk out unhurriedly.

"Auntie, eat quickly, it'll get cold soon!"

"OK, all right!"

Feng Hua sat down opposite Xin Yi.

Xin Yi remembered that she had sat in the same spot last night, and assumed that everyone in her family had a fixed seat, so she handed Feng Hua a full bowl of porridge and chopsticks.

"Thank you!"

Feng Hua took the porridge and was about to take a sip when a sudden thought struck her: what if the porridge was poisoned? Wouldn't she be doomed? But if she didn't eat it, the other person would definitely suspect that she knew her true identity. What should she do?

Feng Hua, holding the bowl, was caught in a dilemma.

Xin Yi noticed Feng Hua's action. "Auntie, don't you like porridge?"

"No...no, I just don't like it too hot!"

"Oh, I'm the complete opposite of you. I love drinking hot porridge; it warms both my stomach and my heart!"

After saying that, Xin Yi picked up the bowl and took a big gulp. "So refreshing!"

Feng Hua saw that Xin Yi had eaten it, so it shouldn't be poisoned. She also took a sip, but suddenly thought, what if the poison was put in the bowl?

But you can't just spit out the porridge you've already drunk, can you? If you spit it out, wouldn't that mean I've discovered a problem?
