"Hey, Kallen, you really followed his instructions? Aren't you usually very competitive? Where did your pride go?" A-Bing mocked as he saw Kallen actually giving Rulu a back massage. Kallen seemed not to hear A-Bing's words and continued to focus on massaging Rulu.

"It seems this power works on Kallen, but why doesn't it work on A-Bing?" Rulu thought to himself. Just now, he had used the Spiritual-power obtained from the green-haired woman to try to control both Kallen and A-Bing.

"I'll give it another try." Rulu concentrated more, focusing most of his attention on A-Bing. He stared into A-Bing's eyes and said in a commanding tone, "Go get me a glass of water!"

A-Bing was taken aback, murmuring, "Got it." He walked over to a nearby wooden table, picked up the water jug, poured a glass of water, and walked back to Rulu, handing it to him.

"Hey, A-Bing, what are you doing? Does Rulu really need your help to pour water?!" Kallen looked at A-Bing curiously. Since Rulu had focused his attention on A-Bing, she stopped massaging Rulu and seemed to forget that she was just giving him a shoulder massage.

"This time I can control A-Bing, but I can't control Kallen. But I clearly could control her just now; this is strange. Could it be... this power can only control one person at a time?" Rulu thought to himself. He stopped using the Spiritual-power to control A-Bing, who shook his head, looked at the glass of water in his hand with confusion, and then drank it himself.

"No, I need to try again. If I want to return to the concession area with Nana, I must rely on this power. If I can't figure this power out, it will be troublesome." After a short while, Rulu looked at Kallen again and said, "Kallen, my legs are a bit sore; can you help me massage them?"

"Ah? Rulu, are you... serious?" Kallen blinked, looking at Rulu with a strange expression as if seeing him for the first time.

"This time it didn't work on Kallen again, but I was only controlling her!" Rulu was becoming increasingly confused. He turned to A-Bing and said, "Then A-Bing, you help me massage my feet."

A-Bing glared at Rulu and said angrily, "What did you say? You want me to massage your feet? Do you think I'm your servant? If you keep talking nonsense, even if you are an Ultra-capable, I'll still beat you up."

"This time it didn't work on A-Bing either, but just now this power was effective on both of them. Could it be... this power can only be used on the same person once?" Rulu thought, turning to A-Bing and Kallen, "Forget what I just said. I was just joking, but it seems like a bad joke."

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

A-Bing retorted, "Your joke is really bad; don't make such jokes anymore, or I will really get angry."

Kallen sighed in relief and patted her chest, saying, "I knew it! Rulu, why would you want me to help you with that? After all, our relationship isn't that close yet. Let's not say things that could easily be misunderstood in the future."

"Alright, I understand." Rulu casually replied, while continuously pondering the use of this Spiritual-power.

Since Captain Guan had not returned yet, the three continued to wait in the cave. After a while, a piece of news broadcasted on the radio caught their attention:

"Next, we have a special news report. This news is also related to the recent terrorist attack in Blue Sea City, as the former governor of Blue Sea City unfortunately passed away in the attack. The Sanctuary has decided to send the 536th prince of the Sanctuary—Prince Su Wen—to become the new governor of Blue Sea City.

According to relevant news, Prince Su Wen is over eighty years old, which is quite a great age among ordinary people, but still relatively young in the Sanctuary, as many of the Emperor's children are over a hundred years old, and some have even surpassed two hundred. The Emperor himself is even older than the Sanctuary Empire. In a few days, Prince Su Wen will officially arrive in Blue Sea City to take up the position of governor..."

Upon hearing this, A-Bing couldn't help but speak up, "Wow, are those guys from the Sanctuary monsters? They can live for hundreds of years at a time?!"

Kallen scoffed, "Hmph, I don't believe they can live that long. They must be lying to make others think they are impressive."

A-Bing said, "But I've heard many people say that those from the Sanctuary are immortal, and Kallen, you have no evidence to prove they are lying."

Kallen was at a loss for words in response to A-Bing's statement when suddenly she thought of something and looked at Rulu: "By the way, Rulu, you seem to know a lot about the Sanctuary. Can you tell me, are people from the Sanctuary really immortal?"

"Uh, actually, I'm not too sure about that either..." Rulu was a bit reluctant to discuss the topic and replied dismissively.

"You must know! Please tell me, okay? Are you feeling a bit tired? Let me massage you!" Kallen pleaded, moving a stool next to Rulu and grabbing his thigh, squeezing it hard.

"Don't squeeze so hard! Ouch... it hurts! Stop—stop, I'll tell you." Rulu, unable to escape Kallen's clutches, finally spoke up: "Immortality is not quite accurate, but in the Sanctuary, there are indeed some special methods to prolong life. Even people who are a hundred or two hundred years old can look no different from those in their thirties or forties, or even younger."

"Ah, is that really true?" Kallen was greatly surprised. She leaned closer to Rulu, staring into his eyes and said, "Those guys from the Sanctuary are really that amazing, able to achieve immortality and eternal youth? Then... then aren't they gods?!"

"Kallen, don't get so close! And you're drooling."

"Stop changing the subject, just tell me!" Kallen wiped the corner of her mouth and kept shaking Rulu's shoulders.

"Well... saying they are gods is a bit excessive. Actually, the people of the Sanctuary are just Ultra-capable like you, Kallen. They are not much different from you and me. Most of their abilities are not as strong as mine or Kallen's. The reason they can live long is simply due to the special environment of the Sanctuary. Once they leave the Sanctuary, their lifespans are no different from ordinary people. After a few decades, they will age and die rapidly."
