☆、Chapter 17
A total of a dozen people with tall and strong build with abilities were the first to break into the villa. Ling Chunan saw Tong Xiaoxiao behind the crowd at a glance. He blinked and seemed a little confused, “What can I do for you?”
The leader is a strong, big man, and are a metal ability user, he took a quick look and sized up Ling Chunan, with disdainful voice said, “Xiao Xiao, is this pretty boy1 that robbed your ancestral jade pendant?”
“Le, let's just go back and forget about it,” Tong Xiaoxiao stepped forward, pulling at the man's sleeve, with a helpless expression, “although the jade pendant is very important to me, breaking into someone house like this is not good.”
Tong Xiaoxiao looks pure and beautiful, and she was the only healer in Jing Cheng base. As soon as she entered the circle of powers, she was greatly welcomed. In addition, she often went out on missions together with them for nearly a month2, and she was basically the one who was treating their injuries. Everyone was more or less received her grace, so when they heard that she had been bullied, was very wronged, and even robbed of her ancestral jade pendant, many ability users with indignation for justice in the group came forward to stand up for her.
Listening to her words, the ability users who originally went soft hearted when looked at Ling Chunan good looking face was looking more fiercer in their eyes, “Boy, be kind and quickly hand over the thing. Although you looks like a sissy and sell your ass, how can you still be called a man when you rob a little girl's things? “
Sweeping his line of sight around the crowd, Ling Chunan finally stopped at Tong Xiaoxiao who was seems to have a pitiful face, he happened to see a trace of maliciousness on her eyes, and he suddenly puffed a laugh onto his hand.
Everyone cannot help but be stunned by his reaction, the head of the group, with a red face was going to open his mouth to swear, but was interrupted by Ling Chunan, he said : “Tong Xiaoxiao, when did my jade pendant become your ancestrals'? Tell me, what does it look like? What's the use?”
“It's shaped like a crescent moon, and about the size of a thumb.” Tong Xiaoxiao said it with seriousness in front of everyone gases.
Ling Chunan asked, “What color?”
Tong Xiaoxiao was surprised and replied, “Silver.”
“What else? What is its characteristics beside that?” Ling Chunan said it with a faint smile.
Tong Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little panicked, in her previous lives, she only have a glimpse of it, and she was not quite sure what the jade pendant looked like. She could only say the general shape and color, but she doesn't know what is its distinctive features. She indeed did not say a word for a long time.
Everyone's suspicious eyes were cast on Tong Xiaoxiao. They were not stupid. Through their brief conversation just now, Tong Xiaoxiao was obviously not familiar with the jade pendant. Since she said that the jade pendant was her ancestors', it must be extremely important. It was ridiculous that she did not know the simple features of such important thing.
Tong Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, shocked in her heart, Ling Chunan already know that there is space inside the jade pendant? But whether he knew it or not, the jade pendant's space could not be revealed to any people, so she shook her head.
Ling Chunan smiled very kindly, “Then I'll tell you, the jade pendant is the shape of a crescent moon, the size of the thumb, but not silver colored, it was milky white.” His palm turned over and a milky white jade pendant appeared in the palm of his hand.
Tong Xiaoxiao looked pale and retorted, “I haven't seen it for so long, and it's normal for to forget what it looks like.”
Ling Chunan nodded noncommittally and said slowly, “It's normal, but this jade is engraved with my surname at the end of the jade pendant. Is it possible that your ancestral surname is Ling?” Then, without waiting for Tong Xiaoxiao to answer, he said, “I know you hate that I refused your confession at that time, but I also did it for your own good. I was born to like a man, and if I said yes, I would only wasted your time.”
As Ling Chunan took out the jade pendant and said these words, all the eyes of the ability users who looked after Tong Xiaoxiao changed immediately, they wholeheartedly wanted to help Tong Xiaoxiao To vent her anger, but she unexpectedly used them like a fool.
Tong Xiaoxiao face turned black and white for a while, and then with a fit of anger said, “In any case, you must give that jade pendant to me now, if not…”
“If not what?” Ling Chunan seemed a little surprised that she actually say that, then smiled and waved helplessly at the crowd and said : “Troubling everyone with this wild goose chase. This is a misunderstanding between me and her. I think we are all reasonable people, if there is nothing else, I'll ask you to please go back right away. “
The youth's smile is extremely comforting, the manner is also very extraordinary, obviously does not look like a male pet and such like what Tong Xiaoxiao have said, the leader of the men stared at Tong Xiaoxiao fiercely, with a face that blushed a little with shame, he said, “I am so sorry for being rude just now.”
“It's alright.” Ling Chunan smiled and nodded.
How can Tong Xiaoxiao bear to be ignored right away like this? She knew that if she missed this opportunity, she might never get the Space again. According to the current situation, she could not get it in any way. If she could not get it, she naturally could not let Ling Chunan have it either.
So, just when Ling Chunan was ready to go and see them off, Tong Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, “Ling Chunan, do you want to monopolize this jade pendant Space by yourself?”
“En?” Ling Chunan looked at her, his eyes full of doubt, “What Space?”
Everyone also looked at Tong Xiaoxiao, as if waiting for her to explain.
What? He doesn't know? Tong Xiaoxiao looked unbelievably at Ling Chunan, her lips slightly trembling, seems to be stunned.
Ling Chunan took a step forward and unfold his hand, “You mean, there is Space in this jade pendant?”
At this moment, the distance between the two people is not far, Ling Chunan's hand and Tong Xiaoxiao are only one step away, and Tong Xiaoxiao's eyes are suddenly attracted by the jade pendant, snatch it, snatch it over, so it will belong to her.
And then she really did it.
But just when Tong Xiaoxiao took the jade pendant into her hand, suddenly a bullet3 shot at her. She dodged sideways, however, the grip of her hands was unstable, and the jade pendant fall out of her hand.
In front of the dumbfounded crowd, they only saw a slight impact accompanied by a small "ka cha" sound, and the jade fell into two halves.
“How, how is this possible?” Tong Xiaoxiao, who looked as white as a ghost, immediately knelt down on the ground, “How can it be broken?”
Ling Chunan also frowned at the fragments of the jade pendant sighed, with some sadness on his face, he said, “Ah, this is what my grandfather left me. He said he was going to give it to his granddaughter-in-law in the future, unexpectedly, it was broken like this.”
Those ability users who are still in a state of confusion of the situation yet dumbfounded spirit have returned4 and are comforting him, “Zeng's Fifth Master will not care about this. Don't worry about it.5
Sigh, the girl usually looks very likeable, how could she handle matters this way?"
The broken jade pendant obviously dealt a very heavy blow to Tong Xiaoxiao, but fortunately she had not completely lost her mind. She turned her head outside and shouted, “Qin Haoyuan, you come out to me!”
The crowd was surprised again. Currently, Qin Haoyuan was the captain of another ability brigade. Why did he come here?
“Don't think I can't see what your dirty, crooked mind is thinking. What's so good about this guy? Huh?” Looking at the silent man who just came in, Tong Xiaoxiao collapsed on the spot. She pointed at Ling Chunan and asked loudly, “You abandoned me for him, but this guy already have a boyfriend, yet you still come to peep him all day. are you that lowly?”
Everyone who were astonished without understanding anything : “…”6
Ling Chunan: “The female lead actually knew that the male lead came to see me.”
098 : “After all, the female lead has been in love with the male lead for ten years in a previous life, so she naturally will pay attention to it.”
Qin Haoyuan was indeed secretly sneaking into Ling Chunan's villa to look at him whenever he doesn't go on a mission. He did not know what was wrong with himself, but he could not control it. Even if Ling Chunan never go out, knowing that he's inside also made him at ease .
Now that he was exposed, he does not look embarrassed, but also made a apologetic smile at Ling Chunan, only then he reach out to pull Tong Xiaoxiao out.
“The counterattack value is + 5%, and the current value is 85%. Please continue to work hard, Host.”
No one believes Tong Xiaoxiao's words about the spatial jade pendant, and pays more attention to the story between Qin Haoyuan and Ling Chunan. Only when they see Qin Haoyuan gone, all of them scattered.
The villa returned to its peaceful state again, and the fragments of the fake jade pendant were taken away by the female lead, so Ling Chunan did not have to throw it into the trash can and collapsed on the sofa again.
“098, when will Uncle be back?”
“I don't know.”
At the beginning of the zombie tide, Zeng Wuyue still haven't come back.
The Jing Cheng base was built very firmly, but no matter how firm it was, it could not withstand internal and external atack. Most of the ordinary residents of the city became zombies, and only a very few evolved into ability users for the second time. The evolved zombies outside the city attacked the base like a tide.
When Tong Xiaoxiao was dragged to participate on the fight, she a Lutyens absent minded, and did not notice that she was bitten by a zombie unexpectedly. She subconsciously healed the wound, but she froze suddenly.
She turned around to see the comrades who were at one side were engaged in combat was looking at her with astonishment.
Tong Xiaoxiao heart gave a thump, I'm finished.
Regarding it being an ability user or not, will only be a matter of time before her ability to treat the zombie virus were open to the worlds to know.
Because she knew what a temptation it would be for peoples in a world full of zombies to cure the zombie virus.
If it is exposed, then the only thing waiting for her is the research institute.
She want to run away.
However, until three days later when the zombie tide receded, Tong Xiaoxiao still haven't escaped, and was sent to the research institute.
Ling Chunan appeared in the line of defense against zombies on the second day of the zombie tide.
As early as when Zeng Wuyue's group went to the city, Ling Chunan was already famous for a while. At that time, it was because he was an even higher grade ability user than the most powerful ability user on the base, but because he had almost never been on a mission, and was always have been locked up to be raised, he was once again judged to be a vase7 by everyone, so he became the most famous vase on the base.
When Ling Chunan appeared, it was just when the gate was about to collapse, he appeared just on the right moment like a messiah. The ice spikes were covering the sky and ground, like a harvester machine, quickly harvested the lives of the zombies, relieving most of peoples from the pressure, and finally manage to defend the gate.
“The counterattack value is + 10%, and the current value is 95%. Please continue to work hard, Host.”
The female lead has been personally sent to the research institute by the male lead, it is no longer possible between the two, the male lead side is no longer a threat to him, but there's still 5% of the counterattack value, where is it?
Ling Chunan frowned. With his ability, he could not live until the end of the apocalypse, what did he miss?
Zeng Wuyue did not come back until a week later. More than a dozen people were missing from the group. A group of people were battered and exhausted, and it was said that they had met high-ranking zombies. After settling down, Zeng Wuyue put a silver energy nucleus in the palm of Ling Chunan's hand, “Baby, marry me, will you?” he said.
Ling Chunan said nothing, and merely accepted the energy nucleus. He was a little disappointed, but in the end he just rubbed Ling Chunan's hair and sighed with a soft laugh.
When he went out on the mission again, Ling Chunan followed him out.
Just as they were finished with the last batch of zombies, 098 suddenly said : “Host, please be careful.”
Ling Chunan was about to avoid it, when he was protected by Zeng Wuyue in his arms.
At the same time, an ice arrow and a lightning bolt shot out at the same time, and with a short cry of pain, a short haired woman fell from a tree in the distance. Ling Chunan finally realized that what he neglected was the admirer of the male lead who was killed by the female lead out of jealousy in the original plot.8
“The counterattack value is + 5%, and the current value is 100%. Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission, and Host still has three hours to stay.”
“Uncle?” At this moment, Ling Chunan then noticed that there was something wrong with the man behind him. He unexpectedly pressed all the weight of his body on him, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of blood that belonged to man.
Ling Chunan turned around with the man's body and looked up to see that his expression was particularly unsightly and pale. Only then did he see that there was a hone on the man's chest.
Zeng Wuyue hugged Ling Chunan and gasped for breath, “Baby, I'm fine.”
Looking at the bleeding wound, Ling Chunan throat was a little astringent, “098, why does he does not recover?”
098: “Sorry, Host, although Zeng Wuyue has a special physique, his heart still belongs to the ordinary human category and does not have the function of regeneration.”
Ling Chunan hugged Zeng Wuyue close and flashed into the space.
When the subordinates heard the noise, all they saw were the bodies under the trees in the distance and a pool of blood on the ground.
“Why does the Space Spring wasn't working for him?” Looking at Zeng Wuyue's still bleeding wounds, Ling Chunan finally felt a little panicked.
098: “Please calm down, Host.”
“Is there any other medicine for the injury?” Ling Chunan asked.
“Answering the host, no,” 098 went on : “he's going to die.”
Ling Chunan put Zeng Wuyue on the grasslands he had planted with his own hands, held him half in his arms, and gave a soft cry, “Uncle?”
Zeng Wuyue did not answer, but his breath became weaker and weaker. Ling Chunan looked at him quietly for a moment, bowed his head and kissed his lips, and then licked the blood on his chest, which was very sweet.
098 warned : “Host, please remember, that you couldn't have any lingering feeling for the mission world.”
Ling Chunan did not say anything, his eyes fell on Zeng Wuyue's handsome face, and until he was certain that he had no more vitality left in his body, he slowly got up and put him into the Spiritual Space Spring.
After finished doing it all, Ling Chunan looked at the sky, blinked and said, “I know.”
Raw words count : 3.955
So the first arc actually ended faster than I expected. This chapter and the attack was a bit anticlimactic, but the last part of this chapter is very sad nonetheless. In the end, I think Ling Chunan actually have some feelings toward this Uncle brand vinegar…
Next chapter is the beginning of a new world and the general world building. I took a peek and it's still in the modern world.
The sad bird little theatre to make you even sadder
Dear Host Nan Nan : was sad on the inside
Mysterious male god : on the far away place but always close to heart "Don't worry baby. I will definitely find you on the next world, and the next after, and the next… Until then… Wait for me."
小白脸 (xiǎo bái liǎn) mean little white face literally. It basically mean gigolo, pretty boy or attractive young man, but in derogatory way. ↩ hmm. So like, this 月经 (yuè jīng) mean menstruation or a woman's period. yuè mean moon and one of jīng meaning is undergo or passing through. You could say… a passing moon. So maybe she just go out until before her period arrives. ↩ 火箭 (huǒ jiàn) literally mean rocket. If translated separately, it mean fire arrow, so it's not exactly a bullet either. Most likely it's some ice shards from Nan Nan, and since I don't know what's the suitable word, I use bullet. ↩ not really, it's just an expression of one's confusion diminishing or something. ↩ lol, I'm assuming there's some of Wuyue's subordinates left behind and they said he will not mind that he doesn't get the pendant. ↩ 不明觉厉 (bù míng jué lì)is an internet slang mean "although I don't understand it, it seems pretty awesome" or "Admiration arises despite my incomprehension of what you said". You'll get it without me explaining it. ↩ mean pretty face. Just like a vase, they're something/one pretty but useless in actuality. ↩ very sorry. This useless translator forgot if she's really have been mentioned in the story at all or not… ↩
