Chapter 144 She Hates This Side of Herself
After the two finished their sweet talk, Cang Xingyue told Fang Yanqing that he had left with more than a dozen strange corpse beasts.
"We don't know what other tricks he's up to, we have to find him as soon as possible."
Lu Siyan played with her hair, calmly saying, "No rush." He had previously given all the zombies orders to hunt down Fang Yanqing, and those who obeyed him would spare no effort.
I sensed that a large number of zombies were already arriving.
Knowing what he was thinking, Cang Xingyue frowned with concern: "Won't it hurt innocent people?"
"No, this only applies to Fang Yanqing. If it encounters other people, it will automatically avoid them and will not attack them."
Relieved by his reply, Cang Xingyue teased, "Aren't you afraid that your zombie army will be wiped out by pedestrians before it even arrives?"
Lu Siyan said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, keeping it is just something that will harm people anyway."
If we can manage to find Fang Yanqing, it would be best to use the things he created to deal with him.
Cang Xingyue chuckled and poked him, "You zombie king are really generous."
He took her hand and pressed it against his heart, where it was beating strongly.
"I remember what I was originally like. Even though I am now like those monsters that are neither human nor ghost, I will always remember that I was once a living person."
"Thank you, Yue, for letting me regain the warmth and heartbeat that a human being should have."
Cang Xingyue looked into his eyes; he was gazing at her with deep affection. Hearing his words, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
She remembered when she first met him, he was all alone in the huge manor, surrounded by flowers, trees and no other living things, not even a single zombie. How lonely he must have been.
She suddenly realized, belatedly, why he had insisted on keeping her there. At the time, she was only focused on escaping, trying every possible way to get away from him for her freedom, and hadn't considered this reason at all.
She looked at him and asked, "If it had been someone else instead of me that day, would you have fallen for her?"
Lu Siyan thought for a moment, then said seriously, "No."
"You are stubborn and brave. Once you've made up your mind, you won't easily change it. Even when facing strong winds and rain, you are not afraid. You have an indomitable will to not back down an inch when facing a powerful enemy."
"Each of them deeply attracts me; no one else is as special as you."
Cang Xingyue crossed her arms and squinted her eyes, adopting a posture of "I'm quietly watching you weave this."
"Although what you said sounds like a compliment, I always feel like you're insulting me."
Is this a dig at her? When they first met, there was a strong wind and rain outside, but she insisted on going out. Then she encountered a monster chasing her and was beaten to the point of barely having a breath left, but she still fought it head-on.
Does he look like an idiot?
She didn't want it to be like that; she was completely forced by circumstances. That bastard was choking her, looking like he was going to kill her. Even if it was hailing outside, she'd have to run, let alone the torrential rain. Besides, that monster—if she didn't stand her ground and fight back, it would eat her.
Thinking of this, she kicked Lu Siyan in anger and cursed, "You dog of a man."
After finishing speaking, she prepared to leave, but the ground was covered in sticky ink, making it impossible to step on. So she built a water bridge to get out of the laboratory.
She wanted to ask the system why she and Lu Siyan could hear each other's thoughts. Wasn't it agreed that the Wutong Ring was meant to be a symbol of shared destiny? Now, there was no privacy at all.
Lu Siyan smiled indulgently, reaching out to pat the shoe print on his pants. At that moment, only one thought occupied his mind: Ah Yue looked so cute when she was angry.
At that moment, several black tentacles silently emerged from behind him, with sharp barbs growing from them. The mop octopus's body blended into the black ink on the ground, and the humanoid chameleon was nowhere to be seen beside it.
The mop octopus was visibly two to three times larger than before.
……
Inside a red-tiled house in the Kufan Garden, a flat floorboard was raised, and Fang Yanqing poked his head out and climbed up from the underground passage, supporting himself with his hands on the ground.
More than a dozen strange corpse beasts followed closely behind, while Fang Zhiyi, who was at the very back, remained where she was and did not go up.
As the light streamed down from the exit, she took a step back in fear.
It's daytime outside now.
Fang Yanqing frowned impatiently, walked to the exit, looked down at her and said, "Come on up, what are you waiting for?" He glanced at the little willow in her arms, his expression slightly displeased, and gestured for a strange corpse beast to bring her up.
“Qingqing, the sun is very strong outside, I…” Fang Zhiyi looked troubled.
She longed for the sunlight, yet feared it.
Fang Yanqing turned and left before she could finish speaking.
Fang Zhiyi watched him walk away, her heart aching. She squatted against the wall, arms crossed, and gave a self-deprecating laugh: she felt like a rat in a sewer, unable to see the light of day.
She hates herself like this.
Does Qingqing not want her as his older sister either? After all, there's no difference between her being alive and dead; she can't help him or stay by his side.
After a moment, Fang Yanqing returned again, holding a black, cloth-like object in his hand.
He threw the things down, saying, "Wear this; it will block out the light."
Fang Zhiyi pinched the black thing, which felt smooth like umbrella fabric. When fully unfolded, it was a cloak with long sleeves and a wide hood. It was long and loose enough to cover her entire body completely.
She looked at Fang Yanqing with gratitude.
Fang Yanqing awkwardly looked away. It was something he had prepared long ago, intending to give it to her on her birthday last year, but the two had argued about something, so he angrily threw it into the cabinet in this room.
Fang Zhiyi put on her cloak and climbed up the ladder.
"It fits perfectly."
Fang Yanqing smiled with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Qingqing."
The hat completely covered Fang Zhiyi's face, making it impossible to see her expression, but her voice was exceptionally gentle.
At this moment, Fang Yanqing seemed to see his older sister from when he was a child, the sister who was devoted to him and would never leave him.
Fang Yanqing snapped out of his daze and resumed his usual indifference. He glanced at Xiao Liu's corpse on the ground, stared at it silently for a moment, then pointed to one of the strange corpse beasts, signaling it to come over.
Unlike other alien beasts that are a combination of humans and animals, this one still retains its human appearance. The only difference is that its amber eyes have vertically elongated pupils and slightly upturned corners, giving it a bewitching look, making it appear more like a fox's eyes.
Fang Yanqing whispered, "Put her back at her place, and then..." He added, "Be careful not to get caught."
The fox-eyed alien beast nodded in agreement and picked up Xiao Liu's corpse.
Fang Zhiyi lowered her eyes, only able to see the scene at her feet through the gap in the brim of her hat.
Seeing Xiao Liu being carried away, she became anxious and stepped forward to stop it.
"Where are you taking Xiaoliu?"
Fang Yanqing pulled her back, signaling the strange corpse beast to leave, and reassured Fang Zhiyi, "Don't worry, we're just taking her home. We can't keep her with us all the time; it's very inconvenient."
