"Just think, when you encounter a drought, and the common people are failing to harvest a single grain, suffering untold hardships, all you need to do is flip your hand, and it will rain in that place. When you encounter floods and ferocious beasts devouring the good fields, another flip of your hand, and the rivers and seas calm down."
"For example, if your sister is about to die of thirst, you can create water to address the emergency. Even when in danger, you can use this ability to escape the predicament. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Li Wenli’s words gradually stopped Bai Lingyu’s crying, and the panic and fear on her face turned into astonishment.
"Really... can it really be done?"
Li Wenli didn’t answer but just gently raised his hand.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the rain, gathering the raindrops and leaves around it into a majestic and fine-looking dragon.
Bai Lingyu was stunned by this sight.
"I can control the wind. Do you think I’m a monster?" Li Wenli countered.
Upon hearing this, Bai Lingyu subconsciously nodded and then shook her head.
Controlling the wind was indeed strange, but this brother hadn’t harmed her, so he wasn’t a monster.
"Controlling extraordinary things is indeed strange to most people, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. I know many people with this ability. They can control trees, flames, lightning, soil, and even control thoughts. Just like some people are particularly intelligent in their studies and crafts, these are innate abilities, graces bestowed by the heavens. Would you also call that monstrous?"
Bai Lingyu’s tears slowly stopped, and finally, the surrounding rain ceased as well.
Li Wenli finally breathed a sigh of relief; if the rain continued, his frail body couldn’t take much more.
"Your crying causes the rain because you can’t control your ability yet. Once you learn to control it, it won’t happen unless you want it to. You can still pretend to be an ordinary person."
"Of course. Could you tell I had this ability before I summoned this Wind Dragon?"
Finally, Bai Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief and happily flung herself into Li Wenli’s arms.
"Brother, I’m Bai Lingyu. And you, how should I address you?"
Li Wenli was startled. Had the little kid switched sides so quickly?
"Please teach me how to control my ability in the future," Bai Lingyu still looked sincere.
"Then you mustn’t find it too hard," Li Wenli said, his lips curling slightly.
"I won’t," Bai Lingyu nodded firmly.
He would definitely become stronger and more courageous to save his sister in times of danger like today!
And so, Bai Lingyu started learning the arts under the tutelage of Brother Fox.
Latter on, Bai Lingyu and Li Wenli ran into Bai Junjun. Bai Lingyu asked Li Wenli if they could keep it a secret for a while, afraid that his older sister would hate him if she knew about his ability.
At that moment, Li Wenli was initially startled but quickly agreed.
Now, Bai Lingyu’s secret had been uncovered by his older sister. She wouldn’t even glance at him, only speaking to Brother Fox about business matters. Bai Lingyu felt utterly panicked.
What could they be talking about? It must be related to him!
What could it be, if not his ability to control water!
So, would his older sister think he’s a monster?
Bai Sasa was cooking seriously, and Xiao Shan was carving honey pots, completely unaware of Bai Lingyu’s unusual state.
When Bai Junjun and Li Wenli slowly walked back to the camp, they saw Bai Lingyu sitting forlornly at the kitchen door, constantly looking in their direction.
Bai Lingyu finally stood up with a start when Bai Junjun appeared, but upon standing, he didn’t know what to do with himself, his chubby hands and feet looking for a place to rest.
