Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Another Ability User

Su Qinglan was already overwhelmed with emotions while being held tightly inside the warm embrace of both her mother and father. For the first time since coming into this world, she truly felt that her life had finally become complete.

The warmth surrounding her chest was something she had never experienced before, making her entire heart tremble uncontrollably.

Back in the apocalypse, she had always been alone.

There had been no family, no home, no one waiting for her return. Every single day had only been about surviving among endless zombies and bloodshed. Fighting, hunting crystal cores, becoming stronger, and then repeating the same thing again and again like a machine without feelings.

At that moment, Su Qinglan suddenly realized something.

Perhaps she had never truly belonged to that world from the beginning.

No wonder she had always felt empty there.

Even when she stood among humans, she still felt detached from them, as though there was an invisible wall separating her from everything around her. Sometimes, she even felt she was no different from those zombies wandering outside the ruined cities.

The only difference was that she still had consciousness.

She could still think.

She still possessed rationality.

But at the end of the day, both zombies and humans in that world were merely struggling to survive one more day. Hunting endlessly, growing stronger endlessly, fighting endlessly without purpose or meaning.

But this world...

This beast world had given her everything she had never possessed before.

A father who loved her deeply.

Several husbands who treasured her like their life.

Her own adorable cubs.

And now...

A mother.

The moment Wang Mulan hugged her so tightly and kissed her forehead with trembling hands, Su Qinglan finally understood something she had never understood before.

Mother’s love.

She had never experienced it before.

Never.

How could she know what it felt like when she had been deprived of it her entire life?

But now, being held inside Wang Mulan’s arms, Su Qinglan suddenly could not control herself anymore. A choked sob escaped from her throat before tears continuously rolled down her cheeks.

She tried hard not to cry.

Really tried hard.

But she simply could not stop.

Her chest hurt too much.

Too many emotions were overflowing inside her heart all at once.

She was truly grateful.

Grateful to the Beast God.

Grateful to fate.

Grateful for being given another chance to live this life.

Suddenly, An Mo’s face flashed across her mind, causing her heart to tremble violently.

If that man had not sent her here...

She would still be wandering alone in the apocalypse right now like an empty shell.

At that thought, Su Qinglan clenched her fists tightly.

She truly would do anything for An Mo.

Anything.

On the other side, when her choked sobs echoed inside the room, Hu Yan, Xuan Long, Han Jue, and Shi Feng all stiffened instantly.

Their fists clenched tightly.

This was only the second time they had seen Su Qinglan cry like this.

The first time had been after she woke up from that long unconscious sleep.

Even now, they still did not know what had happened during that time.

But seeing her cry again now made their hearts ache unbearably.

They wanted nothing more than to immediately pull her into their arms and coax her gently, telling her not to cry because they would always stay beside her forever.

But none of them dared interrupt this moment.

So they could only silently turn their eyes away while suppressing the soreness in their chest.

Because seeing their mate cry like this was simply too painful for them.

Wang Mulan quickly lowered her head and kissed Su Qinglan’s forehead repeatedly while gently wiping away her tears with trembling fingers.

"My child, why are you crying so much?" She whispered softly, her own eyes red with tears.

"Mother is here now. Don’t cry anymore, alright?"

But Su Qinglan suddenly grabbed Wang Mulan’s hand tightly. Her eyes and nose were already completely red from crying, while her voice trembled heavily.

"Mother... I’m sorry..."

Another sob escaped her lips.

"I should not have treated you like that before. Mother... I’m sorry. Your daughter failed you..."

Hearing those words, Wang Mulan immediately shook her head fiercely while tears continuously streamed down her face.

"No."

"How could you fail me?"

"It is me... your mother who failed you."

Her voice was filled with guilt and pain.

"If I had been stronger... how could they have dared to bully my daughter like this?"

Beside them, Su Mingxuan silently held both their hands tightly while his eyes also turned red again.

The atmosphere inside the room became heavy with emotions.

But suddenly, Wang Mulan seemed to think of something.

Her expression changed slightly before she tightly held Su Qinglan’s hand and asked in a low voice,

"Daughter... tell me honestly."

"Did you... come back from another world?"

The moment those words fell, Su Qinglan froze completely.

She looked at Wang Mulan in shock.

However, her expression did not change too much afterward because she already knew her mother had always been aware that something unusual had happened to her.

But everyone else inside the room became stunned.

Su Mingxuan froze, and Lan Shun looked shocked.

Even Hu Yan, Xuan Long, Han Jue, and Shi Feng all immediately looked toward Su Qinglan with disbelief in their eyes.

Another world?

What did that mean?

Only then did Wang Mulan realize she had accidentally blurted everything out in front of everyone.

A trace of hesitation appeared on her face before she suddenly stood up and directly pulled Su Qinglan toward An Mo’s inner room.

Then she turned around and started driving all the men outside.

"You all give me some private moments with my daughter."

"Go outside first."

"I need to speak with my daughter alone."

Before anyone could react, Wang Mulan directly pushed them all out before firmly shutting the wooden door behind her.

The men outside were left completely speechless.

Inside the room, Wang Mulan quickly sat beside Su Qinglan before gently holding her daughter’s hands once again.

Then suddenly...

A soft white glow slowly emerged from Wang Mulan’s palms.

Su Qinglan’s pupils instantly shrank.

The white light gently wrapped around her body, causing an indescribably soothing warmth to spread throughout her entire being.

It was warm, gentle, and pure. But most importantly... It felt completely different from her own plant-healing ability.

Her power focused more on healing wounds and restoring vitality, giving people a soft life-filled warmth.

But her mother’s power... It felt almost holy.

As though it could directly wash away exhaustion and impurities from one’s soul itself.

Su Qinglan’s heartbeat quickened violently as she stared at her mother in shock.

Wang Mulan had already closed her eyes, completely focused on controlling that mysterious white energy.

Meanwhile, Su Qinglan sat there completely stunned.

Because at that moment, one unbelievable realization finally surfaced inside her mind.

There was another ability user in this world. And that person...was actually her own mother.
