Lu Ye watches the little girl in front of him panic. She is indeed very beautiful and looks very young. The way she widens her eyes reminds people of little white bunnies cornered by a hunter.
However, her outfit looks quite unusual. It’s been half a year since the apocalypse started, who would still keep such long hair, wear a long and layered white dress, and travel around in the wild?
In addition, besides having some dust on her, she doesn’t seem injured at all, in fact, she looks very clean overall.
People who can maintain this look either have a strong background, so there are always people protecting them or are powerful themself, so they are not afraid of anything. Yet, he didn’t sense anyone around the area that might be protecting her, and the way she is panicking right now also doesn’t seem fake…..
He glanced at the chick-like thing burrowing into her arms. Could it be because this chick is a mutant animal and is protecting her?
But then he remembered the scene he saw from the roof where she wiggles so determined on the floor to touch Zhuang Qingzai’s ass and felt a bit weird out.
Bai Xiaohu had no clue that within just a few seconds, this man’s perception of her shifted between a hooligan playing dumb to have fun in this world, and a hooligan who is extremely lucky and has a loyal pet that protects her.
His gaze made Bai Xiaohu feel uncomfortable. She is so afraid that he will also throw a lightning bolt at her. The situation is unclear, the opponent is at an advantage because she can’t understand their language. She thought about it for a little and smiled at him flatteringly, showing a couple of her snow-white cute little teeth.
Among the beams of light, floating dust swayed leisurely. In the darkness, her smile was more eye-catching than sunshine, and everyone’s attention was uncontrollably attracted to her.
Lu Ye paused a little, turned his eyes away, and threw a small knife to Zhuang Qingzai beside him: “Untie them and follow me.”
With that said, he turned and left.
Zhuang Qingzai frantically caught the knife and cut the rope for other people. These people seem to be all on the same side since they act like they’re dead when Zhuang Qingzai got beat up earlier, but all rush to be the first to get untied now.
No one paid any attention to Bai Xiaohu for a while. She sat by the wall, looked at the tightly bound ropes on her hands and feet, and couldn’t get it off even though MengMeng had been pecking and scratching on the ropes. She realized how weak the two of them were and looked towards the end of a ribbon on her shoulder lingering from her fluffy hair tie on her head.
While no one was paying attention, she turned sideways and moved her hands to the side of the hairband. With a thought, the hair tie lifted itself, and one end slipped across the rope, and the thumb-thick rope snapped silently.
“Hey, you!” A violent voice shouted.
Bai Xiaohu quickly put her hands down, held the two broken ends of the rope in her hands to make it look like she was still tied up, then looked up at the young man who walked up to her.
Zhuang Qingzai looked at the beautiful girl with a distorted face: “You, why did you touch my ass earlier?”
Bai Xiaohu blinked and said nothing. She couldn’t understand or speak the language, so she couldn’t answer.
Zhuang Qingzai looked at the girl’s well-behaved innocent face with confusion in his eyes. Could it be that he made a mistake? Is he hallucinating? No matter how you look at her, she doesn’t look like someone who would secretly touch a man’s ass.
Lu Ye’s cold voice came from the outside: “Hurry up.”
Zhuang Qingzai hurriedly said “Ok, Ok!”, and couldn’t bother to ask any more questions; he quickly started cutting the rope for Bai Xiaohu.
Bai Xiaohu felt anxious for him as she watched him having such a hard time cutting the rope. Apparently, the humans in this world aren’t all that strong after all. At least this one here and the guys that got knocked out earlier aren’t.
Thinking of it makes her feel relieved.
The rope was finally frayed. She pretended to have just untied it, got the rope off her wrist, threw it on the ground, and then continued to untie the rope on her feet. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to follow them first.
The place where they stayed was the inner room, and there was another room outside. Both spaces are very large and tall, and there were a lot of things piled up. Bai Xiaohu later found out that this was an abandoned warehouse.
After exiting the warehouse, the man wearing black is still there, standing between the two large gates. He saw that everyone had arrived, and spoke coldly: “After leaving here, I will arrange for someone to take all of you to the base. After that, you are free to do whatever you want, and I will have nothing to do with any of it.”
Zhuang Qingzai hurriedly followed up: “Brother, you’re not gonna take care of me? Please don’t, I came out with the caravan just to find you!”
Lu Ye said indifferently, “I have no obligation to be your parent.”
Zhuang Qingzai muttered: “Are you blaming me for being caught? I didn’t expect a group of desperadoes to be here, but didn’t I let Litang-jie escape to seek help from you? You came so fast because Litang-jie notified you, right?” His face was saying I knew you would come.
Bai Xiaohu stood not far behind the crowd, and suddenly sensed a stronger aura of the cat demon she was looking for. She looked at the two standing together in surprise.
The aura came from them.
That young man’s aura wasn’t strong, so could it be from that guy wearing black?
While enduring the fear of the lightning from the man’s body, she squeezed into the front of the crowd, wanting to analyze the aura at a close distance. But who would’ve known, that guy suddenly raised his hand, and a bolt of blue-purple lightning directly shook the two doors out.
Bai Xiaohu: “!!!” Awhhhhhh!”
Even her hair got stimulated and started fizzing up. She quickly hides behind the crowd. However, everyone else was also shocked, they all stepped back, so she got pushed forward instead and staggered into the man’s arm.
The lighting in the man’s hand was still there, and one side of her body was suddenly numb after being in contact with it. A familiar tingling sensation of being struck by lightning made her entire fox soul furious, and she jumped to the side with a groan.
Lu Ye: “……” Lu Ye turned his head and glanced at her.
Bai Xiaohu’s face was still full of shock, her long hair was messily draped over her shoulders, and her small face was pale.
Lu Ye looked back at the electric arcs in his palm, is it that scary?
He closed his palm and took back the ability. The electric arc that was annihilated and making a slight crackling sound in his palm soon disappeared.
Bai Xiaohu fears him more after seeing how easily he could control the lightning, he can release it whenever he wants, strike whoever he wants into charcoal, and smash the door into pieces however he wishes. The way he plays around with the powerful lightning is just too terrifying.
What kind of world is this, and what kind of human is he?
Could, could he be the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao?
If he finds out that she is from another world, will he strike her back with lightning? Perhaps…he has already discovered her identity!
Bai Xiaohu’s imagination spreads all over the place, and unconsciously makes eye contact with Lu Ye’s dark eyes that have a lack of emotion, and seems to see through everything. Bai Xiaohu quickly turned away, trembling in fear while hugging the little chick demon who was also trembling.
As for the aura of the cat demon, her curiosity already evaporated as soon as she saw him using lightning. She can’t dare to explore it anymore, all she wants to do is to stay as far away from him as possible.
Lu Ye, the man who can frighten someone to death with just one look at them: “……”
Lu Ye has gotten the respect and an awe-inspiring attitude from many people, but this is the first time a little girl treats him like a monster as if he has the words “Evil Bully” and “Brutal Beast” written on his forehead. This feels so strange and new, he couldn’t help to take another look at her.
Bai Xiaohu quickly moved away a few steps like a crab, trying her best to keep a calm face.
“……” Lu Ye withdrew his gaze and looked to the front.
The door of the warehouse has been broken open, sunlight floods in, and everything can be seen at a glance. This is a factory built on a hillside in the outskirts, and the warehouse is only a small part of it. The entire factory is surrounded by high walls, and at this time, there is a dense crowd of zombies outside of those walls. Glancing at an overview, all the zombies are scratching and roaring through a layer of iron railings, some even stretching their hands past the railing.
Others also saw this scene, and all of their faces turned pale. Zhuang Qingzai even screamed, “So many zombies!”
Bai Xiaohu also looked over, and then just froze.
What came into her sight was not zombies, instead, a vast black mist and vague human-shaped things scratching and rushing stiffly under the mist. Just like walking corpses.
It will still be fine if that was all, but what shocked her is that the black mist is actually demonic energy!
Extremely strong demonic energy!
She recalls the result of her divination before coming to this world: this world is invaded by evil energy that will cause it to collapse soon.
She looked at the distance beyond the wall. There is a lot of demonic energy on the hillside too, and every cloud of demonic energy probably represents one or several “walking corpses”. For places even further away, regardless of it being the mountain and river, the fainted city buildings, or the land even further beyond, everything is shrouded in either thick or light demonic energy. The whole world is gray, the sky is also covered by a light layer of demonic energy making it glow in an ominous dark red color.
Humans may not be able to see this kind of devilish energy, but Bai Xiaohu could see it clearly. She felt like she couldn’t breathe, and thought it was no wonder that when she inhaled the first breath of air in this world, she felt very oppressed and uncomfortable.
Compared to her Baishou Mountain, where the spiritual aura is overflowing among the divine mountains and beautiful waters, this place is like hell.
At the same time, she also understood why the demonic energy in MengMeng’s body agitated and strengthened after coming here. It is because there is demonic energy everywhere here, and demonic energy is what MengMeng used for its cultivation!
Sure enough, Mengmeng poked its head out, its jet-black eyes looked at the demonic energy outside the wall excitedly, and then chirped at Bai Xiaohu.
It was asking Bai Xiaohu if it can absorb these demonic energies.
After being raised by Bai Xiaohu for more than a hundred years, it has never absorbed any demonic energy, and its cultivation has retreated to the point where it almost does not exist. It has gotten used to being a pet chicken that just eats and sleeps, and has almost forgotten the nature of the devil clan. However, sensing such a rich amount of demonic energy at this moment, it still can’t help but want to cultivate it.
Yet, if Bai Xiaohu doesn’t want it to cultivate, it will listen obediently.
Bai Xiaohu understood what it meant, and stroked the fluff on its body with complicated emotions.
In her world, the devil clan represented pure evil, cruelty, and heterogeneity, but since she was able to secretly raise a little devil chick, she of course doesn’t have much prejudice against the devil clan demons in her heart. The reason why she didn’t let it continue to cultivate was simply because there is zero demonic energy within the Baishou Mountain.
But at this time and in this place, her cultivation has been greatly damaged, and the future ahead is uncertain. If MengMeng is not allowed to cultivate, the two of them may not be able to survive another day.
She rubbed the head of the little devil chicken, and said in a low voice: “From now on, the future of both of us depends on you, but even if you succeed in cultivation, you can’t harm innocent people, understand? “
“Chirp!” The little devil chicken responded cheerfully.
Lu Ye heard Bai Xiaohu muttering something, the voice was very soft, but the language was something never heard before. It had an indescribable rhythm, and Lu Ye couldn’t help but cast a glance at Bai Xiaohu and the little demon chicken in a single second: Can’t dare to move, can’t dare to move.
Lu Ye: Is she a hooligan of this type, or a hooligan of that type?
Bai Xiaohu: Never dare to provoke a man who can control the lightning by will!
Thank you so so much for picking up this novel!
