Chapter 80: The Exposed Group Owner, a Showdown
After fainting, Gu Ruoli fell to the ground without warning, and her body began to undergo heaven-and-earth-altering changes.
Her once short, black hair began to grow longer, thicker, and finer, its color shifting toward a silvery white.
Her previously delicate face was slightly adjusted, becoming more perfect, her features more balanced.
The countless pores on her body began to open slightly, and all her fine hairs fell out. Then, the pores started to close, and soon they were nearly invisible to the naked eye.
Her shoulder blades began to expand, and two pure white, feathered wings started to grow from them.
After some time.
Gu Ruoli, a pair of snow-white wings now on her back, slowly stirred and woke from her unconscious state.
"Hiss~, my head hurts so much."
"Where am I..."
Having just woken up, Gu Ruoli clutched her head, feeling the pain at the back of it, and murmured in a daze.
"Right, I remember now. Wasn't I injecting the angel genes just now?"
A moment later, her mind finally caught up.
She remembered what had happened before she fainted.
"Why didn't Sister He Xi say I would pass out? If I had known, I would have done it on the bed."
Feeling the lingering pain on the back of her head, Gu Ruoli wanted to cry but had no tears.
However, she then felt the two new things on her back. Feeling a bit strange, Gu Ruoli tried to shake them, attempting to get them off.
Whoosh~
A strong gust of wind blew past, instantly scattering the items on the nearby dining table.
Hearing the noise, Gu Ruoli turned to look and finally discovered that she had actually grown angel wings on her back. The gust of wind just now had been created by a flap of those wings.
"Wow, am I an angel now?"
Gu Ruoli's eyes sparkled as if she had seen something incredibly cool.
"Right, since I've become an angel, then..."
Thinking of the beautifying effects of the angel genes, Gu Ruoli immediately grew excited.
She quickly jumped up from the floor and ran toward the washroom.
"Ahhh!!!"
A deafening scream came from within the washroom. Although the voice was crisp, its extremely high frequency lent it a note of terror.
"Is this really me?"
Her reflection showed a woman of peerless elegance. Her bearing was as graceful as a light cloud drifting from a mountain peak, her slender waist swaying like a supple willow.
The silvery-white hair, combined with the gentle and virtuous temperament of an Eastern beauty, made her already outstanding features appear even more exquisite and magnificent.
Looking at the stunning beauty in the mirror, Gu Ruoli touched her nose in disbelief.
The beauty in the mirror also touched her nose. Gu Ruoli then lifted her chin, and the beauty in the mirror made the same motion...
After Gu Ruoli's tireless testing, she finally confirmed that the peerless beauty in the mirror was herself.
Upon this realization, the corners of Gu Ruoli's mouth curled up madly, her shoulders shook, and a muffled sound of suppressed laughter escaped her throat.
After a moment, unable to hold it back any longer, Gu Ruoli finally burst out laughing, "Ahahaha..."
It was no wonder Gu Ruoli was so excited. After all, before using the angel genes, her appearance, while not ugly, could not be considered beautiful.
After fusing with the angel genes, both her temperament and appearance had undergone genetic optimization, successfully breaking through her original limits.
She could now be considered a peerless beauty of a nation-toppling level. This was not just an adjective; she was a true beauty who could overthrow a city with her looks alone.
To go from an ordinary girl to a peerless beauty, it was no surprise she was so happy.
"What happened?"
"What's going on? What's the matter?"
"Are you wailing, sis?"
At that moment, attracted by Gu Ruoli's scream, the Gu family members rushed over.
Without thinking, they opened the washroom door, ready to see what had happened.
But as soon as they opened it, they saw a silver-haired beauty laughing maniacally at a mirror.
Of course, that was not the important part. What was important was that this beauty had a pair of bird wings!!!
...
"Uh..."
Seeing her father, mother, and rebellious brat of a sister suddenly burst in, Gu Ruoli's laughter came to an abrupt halt.
Looking at the three of them, Gu Ruoli was somewhat stunned. This was a bit awkward.
The four of them just stood at the washroom door, staring blankly at each other. For a moment, a strange atmosphere filled the air.
"Um... Miss, who are you?"
After a while, Gu Yun, who was still in middle school, couldn't hold back any longer and finally spoke up.
"Huh? What do you mean, who am I? Aren't I your big sister?"
Her mind not yet caught up, Gu Ruoli spoke without thinking.
This is bad...
The moment the words left her mouth, Gu Ruoli regretted it.
And as expected.
"What? Are you playing me for a fool?" Hearing Gu Ruoli's words, Gu Yun couldn't take it anymore.
A person who was clearly not her sister was claiming to be her. Wasn't that just treating her like an idiot?
Her parents at the side also looked at Gu Ruoli with unfriendly expressions.
Great, this time she was completely exposed.
Gu Ruoli saw the look on the three's faces, which clearly said, "You're not going anywhere until you give us a proper explanation."
Gu Ruoli felt her stomach churn with frustration.
Following a long and frantic explanation from Gu Ruoli...
In the living room.
The three members of the Gu family sat on the sofa, staring seriously at Gu Ruoli, who was seated in a chair.
Father Gu, sitting in the middle, spoke first. "You're saying you joined a chat group where the members are all characters from novels and anime, and you learned from a transmigrator that our world is about to be in danger."
Mother Gu continued, "So you decided to become stronger, sought help from the Heavenly Base King in some Super God Academy, obtained angel genes, and now..."
Gu Yun, her eyes shining, didn't wait for her mother to finish and took over, "...you've turned into an angel! So cool, sis!"
"Does that mean you're the protagonist? You seem a lot like the protagonists in those chat group novels."
"Also, are you really close with that Old Auntie He Xi?"
"And, and, how strong are you now? Can you kill a cow with one punch?"
"Sis..."
Gu Yun's questions poured out toward Gu Ruoli as if they would never end.
Listening to the barrage of questions, Gu Ruoli explained to her sister with a helpless expression.
Father and Mother Gu watched this scene and exchanged a look. After several hours of questioning, they had finally confirmed it.
This was indeed their own not-so-bright, silly daughter.
However, after confirming it, their heads ached even more.
The amount of information Gu Ruoli had shared was simply overwhelming.
Even as leaders of a large corporation, they felt they were unable to cope.
The Endless Void, the Myriad Worlds, Super God Academy, Under One Person, Honkai...
Spirit energy revival, the awakening of the eerie, the Old God's corruption, the abyssal invasion...
Is this something we're supposed to be thinking about?
Father and Mother Gu had numb expressions. Then, they simultaneously shifted their gazes to the side.
In that direction was Gu Ruoli, who had turned into an angel.
At that moment, Gu Ruoli, whose senses had been greatly enhanced by the angel genes, felt her parents' gazes.
She turned her head with a baffled expression, not knowing why her parents were looking at her like that.
