Villainous Zombie King (7)
As a former doctor facing a suffering patient, Song Xu Yi didn’t initially think too much and subconsciously wanted to agree to give it a try. However, before Song Xu Yi could speak, Ye Shuiyu suddenly bit Song Xu Yi’s neck, neither too lightly nor too heavily.
“Ah!” Song Xu Yi didn’t expect Ye Shuiyu to make such a sudden move, and almost instinctively exclaimed in annoyance, glaring at Ye Shuiyu. Before Song Xu Yi could even reprimand Ye Shuiyu for the action, Wang Xi on the other end tentatively spoke again.
“Miss Song?”
Song Xu Yi frowned and suddenly sensed something strange.
Perhaps Wang Xi’s words didn’t have any other meaning, but Song Xu Yi couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was amiss.
Song Xu Yi glanced at Wang Xi’s team once again and finally noticed something peculiar: not a single man in their group was injured, only the women were wounded!
Moreover, many of the wounds on the women seemed to be inflicted by something other than combat…
Could such a coincidence exist in this world?
Song Xu Yi’s back suddenly broke into a sweat.
However, she didn’t show her surprise and shook her head. “I just find it unfortunate that they have to face such life-and-death challenges at such a young age…”
“Oh, I see!” Wang Xi smiled and looked at the people in his team who had been bitten by zombies. There was a smile on his face, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “After the apocalypse, women became scarce all of a sudden. We went through a lot of trouble to save these few. Who would have thought their powers were so low that they couldn’t escape when encountering zombies?”
Song Xu Yi noticed a bound and injured woman whose eyelashes flickered but remained silent without retorting.
Song Xu Yi bit her lip tightly, and a chill suddenly ran through her heart.
“I see.”
The more dangerous the situation, the faster Song Xu Yi’s mind seemed to work.
Song Xu Yi softly spoke, pretending to be calm, and let out a gentle sigh. “Actually, not all women are weak.”
With a composed expression, Song Xu Yi patted Ye Shuiyu’s back as if she had no interest in Wang Xi and his group, and spoke softly, “Alright, Shuiyu, stop being coy. Let’s go back to our room…”
Song Xu Yi deliberately spoke in this manner, portraying herself as a mysterious and influential figure who keeps a beautiful companion. Deep down, she felt a bit embarrassed because the true powerhouse was Ye Shuiyu. Song Xu Yi wasn’t sure if Ye Shuiyu understood her intentions, but outnumbered as they were, she feared that even Ye Shuiyu alone couldn’t handle them. So she had to try her best to avoid conflict…
Fortunately, Ye Shuiyu remained incredibly obedient, responding with a soft “Mm” and standing up.
As expected, when the surrounding men caught sight of Ye Shuiyu’s exceptional beauty as she raised her head, they all involuntarily gasped. The gazes directed at Song Xu Yi became subtly different for some individuals.
“Xu Yi, my feet hurt!”
However, Song Xu Yi didn’t expect Ye Shuiyu to throw a tantrum at this moment. Ye Shuiyu, with her beautiful and enchanting eyes, looked at Song Xu Yi with a hint of sorrow. Her red lips pouted, and her eyes were filled with a sense of grievance. “Xu Yi, I need you to carry me to walk…”
Song Xu Yi’s face immediately turned red. She knew that Ye Shuiyu was extremely clever and deliberately said this.
However, with Wang Xi’s scrutinizing gaze upon them, Song Xu Yi had no way to refuse. She could only force a smile and hesitantly hold Ye Shuiyu’s waist…
Though Ye Shuiyu had a slender figure, she was still a living person. Song Xu Yi didn’t know if she could actually lift her, but with Wang Xi right there, even if she couldn’t, Song Xu Yi had to pretend to be completely at ease.
To Song Xu Yi’s surprise, lifting Ye Shuiyu’s body was as light as a wisp of willow down, almost weightless.
Song Xu Yi was astonished and couldn’t help but glance at Ye Shuiyu, meeting her eyes that held a hint of teasing.
Ye Shuiyu blinked at Song Xu Yi and, in one smooth motion, wrapped her arms around Song Xu Yi’s neck. They were now in a full-on princess carry position.
“Miss Song, you have such great strength!”
Meanwhile, Wang Xi, observing Song Xu Yi’s current state, grew even more wary of her. His conviction to not act recklessly became stronger.
Song Xu Yi curved her lips, choosing not to respond to Wang Xi’s words, and began to walk upstairs while holding Ye Shuiyu. However, to her surprise, Ye Shuiyu once again threw a tantrum—
This time, Ye Shuiyu didn’t say anything embarrassing or teasing. Her beautiful eyes shimmered as she leaned in and planted a kiss on Song Xu Yi’s face, fully embodying the mischievous enchantress. “Thank you for carrying me, Xu Yi!”
She had an air of “If the mountain doesn’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain.”
Song Xu Yi was momentarily stunned.
Her face turned so red that it seemed like blood might drip from it, especially the spot where Ye Shuiyu’s lips had touched her skin, which felt scorching hot as if it would ignite in the next moment…
However, under Wang Xi’s gaze, Song Xu Yi couldn’t do anything. She could only grit her teeth and continue with her façade, pretending to be an indifferent boss unaffected by beauty. She ignored the proactive kiss from the enchanting beauty and carried Ye Shuiyu “steadily and resolutely” upstairs.
Song Xu Yi casually found a room and pushed the door open.
As soon as the door closed, Song Xu Yi, feeling like she was holding a hot potato, quickly placed Ye Shuiyu on a chair and took several steps back, creating some distance between them.
Ye Shuiyu didn’t know what was happening and seemed momentarily dazed. By the time she reacted, she had already been successfully placed on the chair by Song Xu Yi.
“Xu Yi! You—”
Ye Shuiyu clearly didn’t expect Song Xu Yi to react that way. She was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. Frustrated, she once again pulled out her notebook and loudly read out what she wrote to Song Xu Yi—
“There’s a telepathic ability user downstairs trying to spy on us. I kindly helped Xu Yi disable his ability, but she rudely left me on the bed. Minus one point!”
Song Xu Yi was taken aback, not realizing that Ye Shuiyu was momentarily stunned for that reason. She stood frozen in place.
“I’m really angry!”
Ye Shuiyu seemed to get angrier the more she thought about it. Her lips curled up, and she glared at Song Xu Yi. “I need Xu Yi to apologize to me!”
“I’m sorry!” Almost as soon as Ye Shuiyu’s words fell, Song Xu Yi readily apologized, realizing that she had indeed acted wrongly. “How can I make it up to you?”
“Anything as compensation?” Ye Shuiyu finally put away her notebook, squinting at Song Xu Yi.
“No, absolutely no kissing involved!”
Song Xu Yi could tell from Ye Shuiyu’s expression that she had something in mind, so she quickly spoke up before Ye Shuiyu could suggest it.
“Well… okay then!”
With her thoughts guessed by Song Xu Yi, Ye Shuiyu’s tone instantly turned somewhat disappointed, her lips curved downward. “Then Xu Yi must hold me again! Gently place me down, no more tossing me like trash…”
This request was indeed much simpler than kissing her.
Besides, she had put Ye Shuiyu down rather roughly before…
Though still feeling a bit shy, Song Xu Yi accepted Ye Shuiyu’s request and lifted her up once again.
However, Song Xu Yi didn’t expect that this time Ye Shuiyu’s weight had returned to normal. Song Xu Yi tried, but not only could she not lift Ye Shuiyu, she even stumbled and fell into Ye Shuiyu’s embrace, and both of them ended up sitting on the chair together…
Ye Shuiyu’s lips curved in triumph, and once again, she buried her face in Song Xu Yi’s neck, laughing happily.
But she had perfect timing. Before Song Xu Yi could get angry and break free, Ye Shuiyu gently spoke up, her voice soft and tender: “Xu Yi, do you want to see what’s happening downstairs?”
Song Xu Yi was indeed drawn to the question. Of course, she wanted to see what was happening downstairs, but Song Xu Yi didn’t possess any psychic abilities…
Could it be that Ye Shuiyu had a way?
And just as Song Xu Yi was taken aback, Ye Shuiyu cupped Song Xu Yi’s face in her hands and met her gaze directly.
Ye Shuiyu’s gaze at that moment appeared incredibly peculiar, leaving Song Xu Yi struggling to describe the sensation. After a while, she managed to come up with a fitting analogy: it was like a swirling vortex filled with starlight.
Soon, Song Xu Yi was pulled into the vortex, and the hazy scene gradually became clearer. Song Xu Yi could see the fragments downstairs with clarity…
A middle-aged man knelt on the ground, clutching Wang Xi’s leg and sobbing uncontrollably. “Boss, my head hurts. It seems like I can’t use my powers anymore…”
“You idiot!” Wang Xi’s face lost the polite courtesy he had displayed in front of Song Xu Yi. He kicked the crying man away. “I told you not to provoke that woman on your own, but you didn’t listen!”
“Old San did make a mistake, but it doesn’t warrant his powers being destroyed!” Another person nearby approached, his face filled with indignation. “Boss, we’ve relied on Old San throughout our journey, and he’s saved us from numerous dangers. Are we just going to let that woman destroy him?”
“Enough! I know exactly what you’re thinking. You’ve set your sights on the beauty beside her!” Wang Xi’s face fluctuated between gloom and anger. When he saw the other person about to speak, he interrupted them. “Hold on for two days. Once we figure out how she destroyed Old San, then we can seek revenge.”
“So what if she’s powerful?” Wang Xi lifted his head lazily and glanced upstairs, sneering. “She’s just a woman. Women have their weaknesses, and it’s highly likely that Song Xu Yi awakened her powers in the Elemental domain. There’s no need to fear.”
Afterwards, the group of people stopped discussing Song Xu Yi and her companion.
Perhaps due to it being the early stage of the apocalypse, these individuals were unaware that only high-level abilities of the same kind could exert devastating suppression on others’ powers. They acted without concealing their intentions or showing any concern.
They seemed worried that the injured women they had captured might mutate into uncontrollable zombies and launch a counterattack, so they locked the women in the living room and went outside themselves.
At this moment, the scene before Song Xu Yi suddenly changed, and she finally understood what they meant by the “weakness” of the women:
Wang Xi flicked his finger, clearly awakening his spatial abilities. Suddenly, many elderly and children appeared in the air. The men casually provided them with food, gesturing for them to keep quiet. Then they allowed them to exchange greetings with the women inside through the windows…
Frail and emaciated, the elderly and children stood at the window, making eye contact with the women inside. They silently shed tears, a sight that could touch even the most hardened hearts.
However, these villains held the elderly and children hostage, leaving Song Xu Yi powerless to rescue them.
Song Xu Yi could only grit her teeth and watch it all unfold, her eyes burning with fury. She failed to notice the gradually enamored gaze that fell upon her from Ye Shuiyu…
“Xu Yi, you look so beautiful!”
Ye Shuiyu suddenly spoke softly, “I can’t really pinpoint what makes you beautiful…” Her eyes shimmered as she gazed at Song Xu Yi, and a smile formed on her lips. “But all of a sudden, I feel so happy, and I really want to kiss you—”
“I’m willing to help you, Xu Yi.” Seeing Song Xu Yi’s wary gaze turning towards her, she pouted in dissatisfaction but continued, “Okay, okay! This time, you can skip the kisses…”
