Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 75 - Strength Equals Rightness

Han Yi pulled out a few wet wipes and carefully wiped Han Jiaojiao’s hands.

Yan Xiao was continuously complaining, “I’ll never underestimate Wind Type abilities again, they’re seriously my nemesis! Look at my bangs! They were finally growing out, and now they’re singed as if a dog gnawed at them. And my shirt, full of tiny holes burnt by sparks!”

Kerry’s face still showed signs of shock. “That was too close. I fired several shots and didn’t hit anything.”

“That Alien Species seemed to have a vortex of wind around its body,” said Lu Changyuan, who had been silent until then. “The bullets were all diverted from their path.”

Everyone suddenly understood.

Lu Changyuan turned to Han Yi and asked, “That last moment was your doing, right?”

The moment Lu Changyuan referred to was that inexplicable pause of the Alien Species.

“Mmm,” Han Yi nodded slightly. “Spiritual power, when materialized, can do many things.”

“Materialized? What’s that about?” Yan Xiao felt like he had heard something incredible!

Han Jiaojiao, with her lips curled, said, “When brother uses his space, and those things come and go, that’s using spiritual power to materialize.”

Xiao Jian exaggerated even more, one hand on the steering wheel, and with his free hand, he tapped Yan Xiao’s head, “Does it hurt? This is called materialization.”

“Hey! Don’t hit my head!”

“Oh!” Kerry exclaimed excitedly. “I get it now! Once spiritual power is materialized, it can interact with the physical world we’re in?! I once watched a program where a person with special abilities could use a chalk to write on a blackboard from a distance! The chalk was like it was held by an invisible hand!”

“That’s about the right idea.” Han Yi, having finished one wipe, took another, and said in a deep voice, “There are too few live subjects for experimentation. Today was just a risky trial, but the result was pretty good.”

Yan Xiao’s eyes lit up, “Brother Han, if your ability can be used both defensively and offensively, aren’t you invincible? Don’t you have a weakness or something? That’s unscientific…”

Han Jiaojiao became unhappy, puffed up her cheeks and said huffily, “Why are you looking for my brother’s weaknesses! Are you too idle?! Are you jealous because you know your own weaknesses and can’t stand that my brother doesn’t have any?”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yan Xiao was dumbfounded and after a long while murmured, “It’s really unfair to me, the little kitten has turned into a leopard…”

Han Yi glanced coldly at him, causing Yan Xiao to shudder and quickly turn his head away, daring not to provoke Han Jiaojiao anymore. He scolded himself internally, wondering why he had voiced his thoughts. Little kitten to leopard, he should have kept those thoughts to himself. Speaking them in front of Brother Han—was he asking for trouble?!

Han Jiaojiao didn’t take his words to heart; after all, that’s just how she was. Anyone who spoke ill of her brother would upset her.

“Xiao Jian, take the exit at the next intersection from the highway and then turn right,” Han Yi stated unhurriedly.

“Understood.”

Han Jiaojiao looked back and asked, “Should we let Uncle Zhu know?”

“No need, if they trust us, they will follow,” Han Yi leaned back and closed his eyes, “…If they don’t, let them be.”

When it was time to exit the highway, Han Jiaojiao couldn’t help but lean against the window to look back. Seeing that Zhu Changfu’s car also took the exit, she finally felt at ease.

“Jiaojiao worried about them?” Even without opening his eyes, Han Yi could sense the slightest movements of the little person beside him.

“Yeah,” Han Jiaojiao turned around, leaning softly against Han Yi, “I just think he’s a good person, and he came from so far. It’s such a long journey, and it would be a pity if something happened now that we’re nearly at the base…”

Kerry nodded repeatedly in agreement from the front, “Yeah, they didn’t hide earlier but stood outside with us, which was brave.”

Han Jiaojiao sighed, “I wonder how that man with the dog is doing.”

“You feel sorry for the dog? That’s not like you,” blurted out Yan Xiao, who immediately wished he could slap himself. Couldn’t his mouth just keep shut! Didn’t he want to avoid another scolding from Brother Han? But since the words were already out, he cautiously glanced at Han Yi and seeing him still resting with closed eyes, he relaxed slightly.

Then, trying to redeem himself, he added with a grin, “I mean… that dog was only causing trouble, you don’t need to be soft-hearted… haha…”

Han Jiaojiao tilted her head, her eyes slightly perplexed, “Initially, I thought the same as you, but then, I felt that the little dog was quite innocent. A dog’s hearing and sense of smell are more sensitive than humans. Perhaps it sensed danger and was desperately trying to alert its owner. After all, it’s just a dog and barking is the only method it has. Yet, everyone wanted it dead, and what’s terrifying is that each person thought they had the right to decide whether it lives or dies. Seeing everyone blame the dog’s owner, I thought to myself, fortunately, it’s just a dog. What would we do if it were a constantly crying baby? No matter the choice, it seemed wrong.”

Han Jiaojiao was only expressing her confusion, but after hearing her, everyone fell silent. After a while, Yan Xiao forced a laugh and said, “With such a small head, you sure think a lot.”

Han Jiaojiao feigned a melancholic sigh, “Can’t help it, I’m a ‘rainy season girl,’ more sentimental—”

“Pfft!—” Several people in the car laughed.

Han Yi half-opened his eyes, gazing at Han Jiaojiao as he slowly stated, “The world inherently lacks right or wrong. The so-called right or wrong, reason, rules, are all made by humans. They usually use these to restrain others while they act on sentiment rather than reason. That dog might have been with him for over a decade, as close as a family member. Its life naturally matters more than a group of strangers. To others, it’s merely a dog. The ability to decide its fate comes from us being stronger than its owner. That’s all there is to it, no right or wrong, just a difference in strength.”

Being strong allows one to determine right from wrong and also to change the rules.

Han Jiaojiao’s eyes nearly turned into stars as she gazed at Han Yi, not saying a word, cuddling close to him; at that moment, only one thought crossed her mind: I’ve fallen in love with the greatest man in the world!

Kerry seemed deeply touched and lowered his head in silence.

The driver, Xiao Jian, muttered under his breath, “We must become stronger.” Only by becoming stronger can one avoid the lowly position of having others decide one’s fate.

In Yan Xiao’s mind, however, a different feeling emerged. He thought: Isn’t everyone missing the point about Brother Han’s lessons on nurturing? Can’t you see how his sister adores and is infatuated with him? Are you all blind?! Huh?!

A suppressed smile quickly flickered through Changyuan’s eyes.
