In that split second, Shao Qing was indeed thinking of making a move. Yet, just when she was about to do it, someone appeared in her peripheral vision.

This person wasn’t some random person, but Yan Pingsheng. Yan Pingsheng was sitting in his off road vehicle, expressionless. He appeared very solemn. When he came out, Hao Ge and the rest hurriedly got out of the way, each face filled with revery.

Hao Ge even specially pulled Shao Qing and said: “That is one of our leaders in the base, you can’t offend him.”

Not saying anything, Shao Qing just stood on the road where the off-road vehicle had to pass. Right away, Hao Ge was about to piss his pants. He had no idea that Shao Qing was such a gutsy person.

The off-road vehicle immediately came to a halt. The driver stuck out his head and cursed: “Are you crazy?!”

Then the driver was pressed against the steering wheel by Yan Pingsheng who had a face filled with surprise as he jumped out of the car: “Ah Qing? Is that you?”

Shao Qing nodded her head and asked: “Where’s Er Dai and my son? Are they at your place?”

“Come in first and talk.” Yan Pingsheng hesitated then the people behind immediately asked: “Don’t we need to go to…”

Before he could even finish, Yan Pingsheng shouted: “Go yourself, we’re returning!” However, in front of Shao Qing, he was particularly pleasant: “I’ll go call Meng Shen and then we can sit down and talk.”

Pulling Yan Qiyue along, Shao Qing followed Yan Pingsheng in. The Hao Ge who attempted to pick up Shao Qing: QAQ 

Meng Shen had lost some weight, but it couldn’t cover up the happiness he was showing. Hearing Yan Pingsheng’s news, he cast away everything that he was doing and rushed over: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”

Yan Qiyue’s entire person became alert. Shao Qing was actually quite a slow person and she didn’t sense it at all. But, Yan Qiyue was able to sense it clearly. This man clearly had feelings for Shao Qing.

Yan Qiyue quickly hugged Shao Qing’s arm and beamed: “Ah Qing, why don’t you introduce us?”

Shao Qing didn’t understand what Yan Qiyue was thinking, so she seriously replied: “This person here is Yan Pingsheng. This is Meng Sheng. They’re both my friends.” After saying that she pointed at Yan Qiyue: “When I had fallen into the Yan River, it was Qiyue who saved me.”

Qiyue, calling him in such a close manner, Meng Shen narrowed his eyes. Then suddenly smiled and said: “Ah Qing, coming back this time you must be preparing to settle down in Jiang Bei survivor base?” 

“I just came to see if you guys had safely escaped, as well as to… see if Er Dai and them are currently in the Jiang Bei survivor base.” Shao Qing frowned,somewhat nervous.

Meng Shen shook his head. “At that time when you had fallen into the water, Er Dai immediately jumped in after you. Yan Pingsheng and I had tried to search along the Yan River, but we couldn’t find any traces of you two. Yan Hanqing and them have stayed at Jiang Bei survivor base for several days, probably waiting for you. However, since you never returned, they followed Yan Ruru back. They said they were going back to settle down, but in actuality they were searching for you.” 

Yan Pingsheng immediately followed up: “They said they are going to go to each survivor base along the Yan River. This way they were bound to find you.”

Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue stared at each other, feeling a bit of an eyesore. This was because if Yan Hanqing were to go along the Yan River, they should arrive at Lin Chuan survivor base.

Yan Hanqing should be fine. The person Shao Qing was most worried about was Er Dai. She wasn’t worried that something might have happened when Er Dai fell into the river. She was worried about what happened after he climbed ashore. If he was unlucky and encountered someone with bad intentions and took advantage of him or if his identity was revealed….

Shoa Qing immediately interrupted: “Since that is the case, then I should get on the road to join them.”

Yan Pingsheng spoke up at once: “How about you stay a few extra days? It was so hard to finally meet again.” Yan Pingsheng then looked towards Meng Shen. He knew clearly that Meng Shen liked Shao Qing. If Shao Qing were to leave now, in this apocalypse, who knew when they would be able to meet again.

Yan Pingsheng naturally knew this and wanted to give Meng Shen an opportunity.

“No, I’m too worried about them.” Shao Qing shook her head and lightly said: “Especially Er Dai. His identity is too sensitive.”   

Meng Shen lowered his head and after quite a while did he speak: “You should go soon. Reuniting with your team is more important. We can reminisce in the future when there’s time.”

Shao Qing nodded her head. She didn’t even sit for a while and immediately stood up to prepare to depart. Before leaving, Yan Pingsheng helped her stock up on everything she could possibly need.

Shao Qing wasn’t shy and accepted them all. Once they left Jiang Bei survivor base, then Yan Qiyue let out a sigh of relief. People who longed after Shao Qing indeed wasn’t a small number. Luckily he was quick unlike that Meng Shen guy, who was over-careful. That guy was destined to not be able to steal the girl.

Once Shao Qing was gone, then did Yan Pingsheng jump over: “Why didn’t you get the point? If you let Shao Qing go now, do you think there would be any more chances in the future?”

Meng Shen was gloomy for a split-second. But he quickly gave Yan Pingsheng a sidelong glance: “It isn’t even you looking for a wife, why are you getting so jumpy for?” He knew clearly that he couldn’t keep Shao Qing behind. Shao Qing definitely was going out there to search for Er Dai and the rest. Rather than making Shao Qing getting fed up with him, why not decisively just let her go.” 

If they were fated, then they would definitely meet again. 

 

When Shao Qing left Jiang Bei survivor base, she had no intentions of returning to S survivor base. Bringing Yan Qiyue along on the car Yan Pingsheng gifted them, she sped towards the direction of Yan River. 

As they passed along survivor bases, Shao Qing would enter to ask around to see if Yan Hanqing and the group had passed by. With the numerous survivor bases along the road they encountered at least 7-8 of them the entire journey towards Lin Chuan survivor base, yet they still hadn’t encountered Yan Hanqing and the group.

Shao Qing knew that she shouldn’t be impatient for some matters. So not saying too much she simply said: “Right ahead is Lin Chuan survivor base, let’s go in for a trip first to set Qiao Mo’s mind to rest. We could also see if they had arrived at Lin Chuan yet.”

Yan Qiyue agreed, but in his heart he actually didn’t want Shao Qing to discover them. Currently they were in their own two person world, but if Shao Qing found her teammates, then it would become a three, four, five, six, or seven person world.

With that being the case then he wouldn’t be able to monopolize Shao Qing. So Yan Qiyue didn’t want Shao Qing to find them. This way he can continuously accompany Shao Qing in her search. Yet he also wanted Shao Qing to be able to find them since he couldn’t bear seeing Shao Qing’s anxiety. This was basically a fire and ice combination.

After using his reputation, they successfully entered Lin Chuan survivor base. In fact, someone immediately went to notify Qiao Mo that he had returned.

You should know that once Qiao Mo had returned to the base, the first thing he had done was sent ten plus superhuman teams out to go hunt for Yan Qiyue. From this you can probably tell how important Yan Qiyue is in Qiao Mo’s heart. 

Throwing the car aside and ditching the guards, Yan Qiyue brought Shao Qing directly in to return to Yan Qiyue’s house.  Reckoning Qiao Mo would come, they were planning to clean up a bit and then interact with him for a bit. After they could stroll the base once and then continue looking for Yan Hanqing and the group. 

   However, their plan changed rapidly. When the two were passing through the plaza to return home, they saw a couple of familiar figures. Shao Qing’s eyes immediately became moist. This was because those familiar figures were none other than Yan Hanqing and the rest. 

Without saying anything, Shao Qing ran over preparing to reunite with Yan Hanqing. It was when she was heading over did she notice that in front of Yan Hanqing were another group of people led by Qiao Yu. 

Qiao Yu’s face was gloomy and within her hand was a very familiar looking rabbit. Staring at Yan Hanqing she said: “animals don’t have manners because they’re animals. Could it be that you guys are animals as well?”

Xiao Baozi clenched his tiny fair fists and shouted at Qiao Yu: “Give Yaya back to me!”

Qiao Yu lifted the rabbit up and looked at it up and down then laughed coldly: “You want it?”

Then before waiting for Xiao Baozi to reply, Qiao Yu grabbed the rabbit by one of its ears and tore it off. Yaya was in extreme pain. Just when Qiao Yu wanted to tear off its second ear, Xiao Baozi suddenly ran over. Jumping up he grabbed Qiao Yu’s wrist and bit down. 

Qiao Yu at once flung Xiao Baozi aside. Luckily Yan Hanqing was quick and was able to catch Xiao Baozi, his face cold: “Aren’t you going too far?”

Qiao Yu began swearing: “It was your rabbit who bumped into me first. Later on this beast even bit me. How is it the case that I’m going overboard? Let me tell you right now, I need all of you guys to kneel down and kowtow and say it was my wrong great aunt three times otherwise. ah this beast! I’m going to skin him!” Saying this Qiao Yu reached out to grab Xiao Baozi.

Yan Hanqing then became incomparably cold. Retreating a step to avoid Qiao Yu’s hand, he harshly said: “If you continue to deliberately provoke us, then I’m not going to be polite.”

“Oh? Today I will show you how unreasonable I can be!” Qiao Yu originally still mad at Yan Qiyue’s incident last time, at this moment felt her anger double. 

If Yan Qiyue didn’t give her face then fine. Even if she wanted to do something to him, her brother wouldn’t have permitted it anyways. But who do these people think they are? How dare they act so unbridled in front of her!

Qiao Yu directly made a move herself. She was a wind elemental user. Even though she wasn’t that strong, she was still a rank two. The wind blade viciously flew towards Xiao Baozi’s neck. Not just Yan Hanqing but even the Gu siblings had horrible expressions.

The first to react was Gu Panpan. Her protected arms reached out in front of Yan Hanqing who was holding Xiao Baozi. Then with a squeeze she caught the wind blade and directly shattered it into pieces. 

Not speaking of others, Gu Panpan was already a rank 3 superhuman. She wasn’t something Qiao Yu, who had no experience in battling and had only leveled up through plowing through crystal sources, could compare to.

However, when Qiao Yu made a move, her personal bodyguards also made their moves. These people didn’t dare allow anything to happen to Qiao Yu since she was Qiao Mo’s little sister.

If something happened to her, then they shouldn’t think about staying in Lin Chuan survivor base.

Unanimously, the four bodyguards all aimed towards Yan Hanqing. They could tell that Xiao Baozi was the group’s weak point. Having that kind of a master meant having those kinds of bodyguards. Each and every one of them dealt savage strokes. Facing a child, they were all life threatening attacks.

But it wasn’t even necessary for Gu Panpan and them to make a move because at once countless vines formed into a tall wall in front of Yan Hanqing. None of the attacks were able to penetrate through these tightly knitted vines.

Those vines were incredibly familiar. Seeing them, the group of people turned to see Shao Qing appearing out of the blue. Her movements quick, she firmly planted a kick on a bodyguard’s butt. In the next second, countless vines went flying forward to grasp around the bodyguard’s limbs and neck. Leaping up, Shao Qing kneed his spine causing a loud snapping sound . After breaking his spine, Shao Qing threw him to the side like trash.

With a broken spine, that person would be paralyzed for life. Most of all, being like this in the apocalypse, he might as well be dead.

Shao Qing was frighteningly vicious. The remaining three bodyguards stared at each other and didn’t dare to move. They didn’t dare to move, but Shao Qing could. Lifting her hand up, the vines came flying out like snakes. The three guards didn’t dare to resist, one retreating faster than the next.

Qiao Yu originally wanted to yell at her cowardly bodyguards, but when she saw Yan Qiyue walking over her face paled. She just wanted to squat down to the side and violently puke. The trauma from last time was still implanted in her mind vividly. She really wasn’t willing to set herself against Yan Qiyue again.

“Why are you trying to run?” Shao Qing sneered. Then with a clench of her fist, a bodyguard immediately kneeled down. Countless shoots began to sprout from his body, piercing through his clothes and began to sway with the wind. 

Shao Qing chose the most cruel method of allowing the dodder to sprout outwards from within his body. Having the roots tie up his internal organs, this way of death was slow and painful. Yet, Shao Qing still felt it wasn’t enough. This was because these people dared to act against Xiao Baozi. 

He was her life, no, even more important than her life. 

Whoever made a move against Xiao Baozi was like wanting to take her life, so don’t blame her for being cruel. 

That person’s dying state frightened the remaining two bodyguards. Taking off running, those two didn’t care about Qiao Yu at all. 

Even though they might suffer punishment from Qiao Mo for not protecting Qiao Yu, if they didn’t run now their lives would end there. 

Yet they still couldn’t get away. This was because Gu Chuan and Yan Hanqing both acted at the same time. One was pierced through the heart by an icicle while the other was electrified in the head. Both dying bitterly but at least they did not suffer as much as their colleagues. 

“Where does Miss Qiao want to go?” Yan Qiyue laughed lightly. Qiao Yu already felt her legs soften into jello. Throwing away Yaya that was in her hand, her face pale: “Yan Qiyue, don’t forget, my brother is Qiao Mo!” She tried to show strength although she felt completely weak. What kind of a person is Yan Qiyue? He does as he pleases and he really might kill her. 

Xiao Baozi came running out of Yan Hanqing’s hand and picked up the dying Yaya. Missing one ear and bleeding, it was already on its last breath. Xiao Baozi felt immeasurable pain. Just at that moment, Xiao Baozi was suddenly snatched up by Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu can tell that Shao Qing cared for Xiao Baozi and Yan Qiyue cared for Shao Qing. As long as she can get Xiao Baozi in her hands, Yan Qiyue wouldn’t dare to do anything to her. With that being the case, as long as she can drag it out until Qiao Mo arrived, then she’d be safe.

“Don’t come over here! Otherwise don’t blame me for being careless!” Qiao Yu clutched Xiao Baozi’s neck, becoming firm all of a sudden.

Shao Qing’s breath became icy. Before she wasn’t planning on killing Qiao Yu, since no matter what she still had to think about Yan Qiyue. Killing off her thugs would’ve been suffice to serve as a warning for Qiao Yu.

But now? She couldn’t help but have murderous thoughts against her now.

No one had ever dared to hold Xiao Baozi hostage to threaten her before. Xiao Baozi was her life. Qiao Yu has really pushed past her bottom line.

“Just kill her. Qiao Mo wouldn’t dare to do anything.” Yan Qiyue could clearly read Shao Qing’s facial expressions. Knowing Shao Qing’s temper, if he didn’t say those words, Shao Qing would probably kill Qiao Yu and to not burden him will break off their relationship.

How could Yan Qiyue bear Shao Qing breaking things off with him for Qiao Yu? Qiao Yu is just some random plaything. How could she be worthy to even create any animosity between him and Shao Qing?

She is not worthy!

If it weren’t for him not being completely back to health and couldn’t freely wield his abilities, he would have been the first one to put her to death!

He has already tolerated Qiao Yu for so long. Before, he just didn’t want to change locations and staying at Lin Chuan was relatively more stable. It was also suitable for his experiments, thus he didn’t want to offend Qiao Mo by making a move against Qiao Yu.

Who would have thought that all his patience would give Qiao Yu the idea that he didn’t dare mess with her. Now completely charmed by Shao Qing and already deciding to follow her wherever she went, he didn’t mind offending Qiao Mo at all.

Hearing these words, the words that Shao Qing was about to say was swallowed down. Then she turned to look directly towards Qiao Yu.

 

Qiao Yu was so frightened she began shivering. The hand holding Xiao Baozi couldn’t help but tense up. She was so nervous that she didn’t even realize that the child in her hand didn’t even have the intention of tearing up. There was just a pair of calm collected pitch black eyes staring at her.

Shao Qing could see it clearly, Xiao Baozi for the next little while, should be fine. She slowly walked closer to Qiao Yu. Now that she has crossed her bottom line, she won’t allow Qiao Yu to die easily.

“Your son is still in my hands! What are you trying to do? Don’t come closer!” Qiao Yu anxiously yelled.

As she spoke she began to retreat backwards. She did not look like she was threatening anyone at all, instead she seemed more like the one being threatened.

While Qiao Yu was panicking, Shao Qing was calm. She was secretly commanding her vines to take the long route to encircle Qiao Yu. Even though she was planning on killing Qiao Yu, she still had to make sure she saved Xiao Baozi first.

“Just stay there! Don’t come closer to me or else I’m not going to be polite!” Before she was finished speaking, Shao Qing had already stopped moving. Beneath her feet a lush plant bloomed, releasing a light fragrance into the air. Although Qiao Yu was an idiot, she still had a powerful older brother. She naturally had a bit of knowledge. At once she realized that the vegetation beneath Shao Qing’s feet was not ordinary at all: “Withdraw that right now!”

Listening obediently, Shao Qing withdrew Qiu Tang because Qiao Yu had already fallen into the trap. Feeling weak, she felt her body sway and quickly bit her lip. Then she felt a sharp pain around her ankle. Looking down, she saw that vines had already wrapped around both her ankles. 

Incredibly angry, Qiao Yu was prepared to kill Xiao Baozi. When someone becomes desperate, they would be willing to do anything! However, her hand became weaker and weaker. Finally her hand loosened and Xiao Baozi fell to the ground safely.

Lifting up her knife, Shao Qing walked over when a voice from afar cried out: “Please have mercy!”

Shao Qing didn’t have to look to know that it was Qiao Mo. But, she had no intention of being merciful and the knife was quickly thrust forward.
