Chapter 158
158 3.15.63 – Sweet potatoes – Downfall of Humanity
“General, another base wants to create an alliance with ours,” Qua Tao knocked on the door of Yi Zen’s office and informed him of the arrival of new guests.
When Yi Zen arrived at the meeting place, he saw a few familiar faces – Fu Lian and a delicate woman with exquisite features, similar to Fu Lian’s. Clothed in a white dress, she sat obediently next to a man in his late forties: the ex-state council Fu Dong and his daughter Fu Qin (Fu Lian’s father and stepsister). While a few merchants and bodyguards waited outside, only this father-daughter duo was allowed to go inside.
Fu Qin eyed her beautiful stepsister in contempt, hiding a sneer behind her palm, “What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you became this base’s bed warmer?”
Fu Lian’s father frowned in displeasure, as expected of a slut’s daughter, like mother like daughter.
Before Fu Lian could retort, a cold voice behind her spoke out.
“En. Mine.” Yi Zen stepped inside the room, “She only warms my bed.”
“...” If it were other times, Fu Lian would lash at him for degrading her, but this time, her heart warmed up. After they broke up, Yi Zen’s demeanor changed. Gone was the gentle man. A cold general replaced him, a man who didn’t like to show his feelings on the outside. His words became blunt and on point. During their arguments, he stopped sweet-talking and begging for forgiveness. Instead, he would leave her on her own and go outside to take a smoke.
She felt cheated; this whole time, he was acting as someone else! But... To save her face, he continued to pretend to be her lover. Feeling conflicted, the amount of time she was humiliated by the sibling duo, was uncountable. But it was never outside of their circle. The men inside the base continued to treat her with respect. Of course, except that disgusting pig!
When Fu Qin saw Yi Zen for the first time, this handsome and masculine man, she fell in love at first sight. She didn’t believe that general Yi Zen would choose a bastard like her stepsister. He had to be blinded by her beauty!
.....
Feeling her father nudging her shoulder, she came back to life, standing up, the father-daughter duo greeted this famous general in respect.
Yi Zen sat down at the end of the conference table, looking at his empty right seat, he asked, “What do you have to offer?” The man before him demanded 0,3% of nuclei profit.
Fu Qun looked up at her father with begging eyes, “...Papa, I...”
“Fu Qin, dear, don’t worry. I’m not selling you out,” father Fu Dong comforted his little princess. Looking up at Yi Zen, he put on his state council’s smile, “My daughter is a plant user. Weren’t you looking for one? If you accept my offer, I’ll let her work for you.”
When Fu Lian and Yi Zen got to know her ability, both of them showed different expressions. At the same time, one person in black appeared in their minds.
Where was Bing Shi?!
Meanwhile...
“Hurry, hurry ??,” a petite person in a black hoodie spoke to a tall man in a black cloak, as they flew towards the meeting tent. “Hurry, hurry ??,” she rushed him as if it was the end of the world.
“...” Ziek followed after her with amusement, “What’s the rush?” What was he worried about? She was as energetic as always.
“I always wanted to taste sweet potatoes grown by a plant user.”
Ziek tried sweet potatoes before, and they didn’t suit his taste at all, “How can you not get sick of them?” His brows scrunched.
“I never get sick of things I love,” said Bing Shi. The first thing she would let one know, was her love for sweet potatoes. Everyone in the base knew about her obsession.
Was this the reason why she had been looking so desperately for a plant user these past two months? Ziek, who knew her secret as a quick transmigrator, doubted it.
· · — · ???· — · ·
When Bing Shi and Ziek appeared next to each other, it was as if two grim reapers showed up on the scene.
The father-duo hurriedly greeted Ren Han and Bing Shi. The way they showed her respect was eye-catching; they were flaunting Bing Shi to the skies. After all, this woman held much more influence than Yi Zen.
Before Bing Shi could sit on Yi Zen’s right, Ziek grabbed the chair and sat on it like he owned the place, noticing Fu Qin’s hungry gaze on Yi Zen, “What a casanova, obtaining another woman’s attention. Share one with me, you know which I want.”
Catching Yi Zen’s icicle with his hand, Ziek smashed it into pieces.
Fu Qin’s gaze finally shifted towards the mysterious man in black, unable to see his facial features, ‘Who is he to behave like that towards general Yi Zen? He has to be the foreign leader of that huge ship. Are they fighting over Fu Lian’s affection? Who does she think she is to catch every powerful man’s attention?! Only if that eyesore never existed!’
Fu Qin clutched her hands under the table in hatred.
Instead of sitting down at the occupied seat next to Yi Zen’s right, Bing Shi walked around, stopping behind Fu Qin, she sat next to her. Plopping her head on her chin, she turned towards Fu Qin, speaking out enthusiastically, “My, my~. What a beautiful plant ability user. Do you know how to plant sweet potatoes?”
Fu Qin nodded bashfully, “Yes, one seed is enough for me to grow a few hundreds of them. Besides that, I know a few offensive and defensive moves.” That’s what she was doing these past two months. She was planting the most delicious sweet potatoes to get Bing Shi on her side.
Bing Shi jumped out of her chair and ran towards the general excitedly, “Yi Zen, I want her as my sister in law~. She knows how to plant sweet potatoes!”
‘Say what?!’ Fu Dong choked out on his saliva. Nobody was taking his little princess away!
Ziek tried to figure out what was Bing Shi’s mission, ‘This woman is doing random things all over the place!’
“Stop saying nonsense,” Yi Zen turned his head towards Bing Shi, “Why so suddenly?”
“Miss Fu Lian never gave me any sweet potatoes, despite knowing that I like them very much,” said Bing Shi as a matter of fact.
Yi Zen pinched his eyebrows.
Fu Lian was too stunned to utter out a word.
Fu Qin lifted her gaze in shock, hurriedly looking down, a dangerous light flashed in her eyes, a vicious smile appeared on her face. ‘This was easier than I thought. Without Fu Lian, Yi Zen’ll be mine.’
