Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Wu Yueling said one word the night before the last, but she refused to say another word after that. Wu Chengyue tried very hard to coax her into talking last night, but failed.

Wu Chengyue was a little disappointed, but was also delighted. After all, Wu Yueling had started to talk again, meaning that there was a good chance for her to be willing to talk when she grew older. That was a good sign indeed.

In the kitchen, Wu Chengyue cast a casual glance at the living room and unwittingly curved his lips in a smile. The smile on his face was different from his standard smile. It was faint but sincere, not as fake as usual.

It was the first time the zombie lady stayed in his place. Before, he was always the one who stayed at hers and refused to leave. He had a subtle feeling of satisfaction as she was staying in his house like that.

However, thinking that the zombie lady wasn’t staying at his place willingly, he started to feel slightly unhappy.

‘Whatever! As long as she’s here… We’re kinda living together now, aren’t we?’

Wu Chengyue got rid of the entangled thoughts in his head and started preparing breakfast.

Inside the living room, Lin Qiao let Wu Yueling sit by her side and put her little hands on her belly. The girl was talking to Viney.

Lin Qiao was reading a book; it was a biography. She found it from the bookshelf in the living room. She had nothing to do around there, so she decided to read a book while waiting for Xie Dong to come to her.

Xie Dong didn’t show up, but Xiao Yunlong did.

Not long after Wu Chengyue and Wu Yueling had breakfast, Xiao Yunlong showed up together with Xiao Licheng. Before they came in, Lin Qiao put the book back onto the tea table, then gently moved Wu Yueling’s hands away from her belly and thrust the rabbit into the little girl’s arms.

Hearing the footstep sounds from Xiao Yunlong and Xiao Licheng, Wu Yueling quickly dropped the rabbit and slid off the couch, then ran behind the couch and hid away. Xiao Yunlong saw the little person flee to the back of the couch and hide there once he walked in.

“Didn’t you tell me that Ling Ling is getting better?” He turned and asked Xiao Licheng.

“She’s better when she sees me. I don’t know about you,” Xiao Licheng shrugged and said.

Xiao Yunlong was a little speechless to hear that.

“You’re here. Get upstairs,” Wu Chengyue came out of the kitchen and greeted them both, then turned and went headed toward the second floor. Xiao Yunlong looked at him with surprise, then glanced at Wu Yueling, who was hiding behind a corner of the couch. “Aren’t you taking Ling Ling with you? Are you gonna leave her alone in the living room?”

“It’s alright. She’ll be fine staying here,” Wu Chengyue smiled and said.

Xiao Yunlong and Xiao Licheng both hesitated for a moment. They looked at Wu Chengyue uncertainly, not seeming to agree with his decision. However, as the other had already gone upstairs and Wu Yueling was still hiding behind the couch, they thought for a moment and then glanced at each other before following him upstairs at last. It was Wu Chengyue’s house anyway. Ling Ling should be fine in her own home. She was very familiar with the place after all.

After watching the two go upstairs, Lin Qiao leaned against the back of the couch and reached a hand backward to touch Wu Yueling and tell her that the guests had left, so that she could come out.

Wu Yueling slowly crawled out from behind the couch as no strange vibe could be detected from the living room anymore. Lin Qiao looked at her, without knowing what to say. Even the rabbit was braver than the little girl!

She glanced at Wu Yueling, then raised her head to look at the study room that was on the second floor with confusion in her eyes.

Just now, she suddenly sensed something strange from Wu Chengyue. She narrowed her eyes to observe his energy, but didn’t find anything wrong. The purple energy sphere in his brain was still vigorous, and the energy flow inside his body was dazzling.

Nothing changed, but for some reason, she felt that his vibe was weakened slightly. Was she wrong?

She tried to figure out why.

Two hours later, Xiao Yunlong and Xiao Licheng came downstairs, and Wu Yueling hid away again. They sighed and left, because they didn’t dare to talk to the little girl.

“The kid was getting better. Now she’s like this again. When can she be like a normal kid?” Xiao Yunlong’s concerned voice was heard from outside.

“Maybe she needs more time. Only time and a good environment can cure her,” Xiao Licheng’s gentle voice faded away.

Wu Chengyue came down and sat on the couch, then said to Ling Ling with a helpless tone, “Ling Ling, come over here.”

For Xiao Yunlong and Xiao Licheng, Wu Yueling’s behavior was impolite. People didn’t mind her doing that because they know that she had some issues.

“Next time, don’t try to hide when you see them. Have you forgotten how nice your Godfather and Uncle Xiao are to you? They’ll be sad if you always try to hide from them. Ling Ling, you can’t make people sad. Do you understand?” Seeing Wu Yueling slowly come out from behind the couch, Wu Chengyue said to her gently. He wasn’t blaming her or coaxing her. He was just talking to her, like talking to anyone else.

Wu Yueling sat beside Lin Qiao and dropped her head slightly. She didn’t look at her father, but was slowly wringing the corner of her shirt.

Wu Chengyue didn’t say anything else to her, but turned to Lin Qiao, who had picked up the book again, and said, “From now on, Sea City Base won’t work with Huaxia Base again. Their plan didn’t work this time, so they might keep watching us.”

Hearing that, Lin Qiao dropped the book, then picked up the notebook and the pen and wrote—’Since you have refused to cooperate, they will try to force you. I believe they’ll soon point their weapons at your base.”

Wu Chengyue read the note and said, “That’s for sure! Huaxia people have been considering their own base as the strongest base in the country all this long. Now, we’re making them feel threatened. We might cause them to lose a large number of resources. Si Kongchen isn’t stupid. As long as he’s alive, he’ll try everything he can to bring us down.”

By resources, he meant human resources. Sea City Base had recruited some people from Huaxia Base already. If Sea City Base grew stronger and stronger, Huaxia Base might not be able to stop their talents from leaving. After all, Huaxia Base had a large population, and the personal average resources were limited. In Sea City Base, the competition would be weaker, and the resources could be richer.

There was one more thing—the natural environment in Sea City Base was better than that in Huaxia Base. The winter in Sea City wasn’t freezing cold, and sandstorms barely happened in this city.

Lin Qiao looked at him. Once again, she narrowed her eyes and carefully observed him. Nothing was found still, so she stopped thinking about the strange feeling that she had earlier.

“Huaxia Base is far away from Sea City,” she said, “It’ll be hard for them to conceal their movement if they’re up to something big. But, I think you still need to pay some attention to their weapons, or you might suffer losses.”

After all, if Sea City Base suffered losses, All Beings Base would be affected too.
