"Why don't you believe me?" Luo Xiao Le couldn't help but laugh.
She watched as Mo Chen's deep eyes suddenly lit up, appearing watery.
"Gaaahhhh!" Luo Xiao Le, who had never seen him like this before, felt her heart melt…
The cold-faced demon seemed like a big puppy now…
She really wanted to give him a good ruffle…
"Ahem, that, wait for me a moment." Luo Xiao Le dropped the line and hobbled into an empty room beside them.
You don't believe me?
Then I'll transform for you to see!
Within the system's space, Luo Xiao Le stood in a cubicle that resembled a dressing room.
"Unlock!" she said crisply.
A silver light instantly descended.
Suddenly, she felt her blood seemingly flow backward, and all her bones twisted abruptly.
The scene was extremely bizarre, yet strangely, she felt no pain or discomfort.
Five minutes later, Luo Xiao Le twisted open the door and walked out of the peculiar cubicle.
She carefully examined herself in the mirror.
Her previously frail physique had not changed.
But her complexion was no longer dark and sallow; instead, it glowed with a rosy hue, and her vitality seemed exceptional!
The type that makes you eat anything and everything!
The faint throbbing pain throughout her body was gone. She tried moving her arm, clearly sensing every sinew, bone, and joint within her. All were intact, with no inflammation or signs of illness.
The bones that had just been broken had miraculously healed together with remarkable resilience.
"This..." Luo Xiao Le felt a robust body after a long absence, and she simply couldn't believe it.
"Woohoo, so good!"
[Host's body has been fully repaired, costing 5,000,000 store coins. Remaining balance: 92,635 store coins.]
"..."
Feeling miserable, wanting to cry.
Months of diligent work, all gone in an instant…
…
"Is Xiao Le in too much pain… and went to take painkillers?" Luo Shu and the others exchanged glances.
The door slowly opened.
Luo Xiao Le reappeared before them.
"Does anyone feel like Xiao Le is different somewhere…" Zhou Xiao Jun asked, stroking his chin in confusion.
"Her complexion looks… much better?" Lin Ruo Shui exclaimed.
"Hey bro!" Luo Xiao Le raised her hand, wanting to high-five them.
"No, no, no, what if your hand breaks again later!" Everyone else retreated, as if avoiding a plague.
Then everyone watched in terror as Luo Xiao Le, like a cannonball, rushed towards them at an astonishing speed.
"Slap!" Her palm struck everyone's hands with considerable force.
"Ouch, my hand is going to break!" Luo Shu cried out.
"Wait a minute…" the others looked at Luo Xiao Le in utter amazement.
This speed was definitely not something she could achieve normally!
And the force of that high-five!
Even more surprising, Luo Xiao Le's hand was completely unharmed under that force. She grinned broadly, holding her hand and looking at them with a touch of pride!
!!!
"Let me see!" Pi Jia Jia was the first to rush forward.
"Holy crap!!!!" he exclaimed.
"Xiao Le, you're really better!" He was incredulous, as if witnessing a medical miracle…
"What?" Everyone else's jaws dropped…
"Are you sure?"
"Really, her current physical condition is probably better than most people's. No inflammation, no anemia, no problems at all…"
He still couldn't comprehend it, "It's like new… How did you do it…"
Luo Xiao Le looked at them with a "See? I told you so~" expression.
"Oh my goodness!" Lin Xia and the others finally believed it and rushed forward to hug Luo Xiao Le tightly.
Their little sister was alright!
They could continue fighting together in the future!
Luo Xiao Le secretly glanced at Mo Chen. He hadn't come forward and stood silently in a corner.
His eyes seemed a little red.
In a barely audible voice, he kept murmuring, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright…"
Luo Xiao Le, however, saw his lips move through the crowd.
Her own eyes instantly turned red.
Growing up, she had never experienced this feeling of being cared for.
Having such a group of friends, and…
Him.
…
On the other side, Qin Ming Yang sat steadily in a car provided by Zhou Shoushan.
"Young Master, why did you go to warn Luo Xiao Le?" Shui Cheng asked, driving the car, puzzled.
Qin Ming Yang loosened his elegant bowtie.
"Can't put all your eggs in one basket." His eyes were filled with nonchalance.
"Although Zhou Kaifeng has considerable influence in the shadows, Zhou Shoushan is not to be trifled with, and then there's this Luo Xiao Le…"
"Until the final outcome, I cannot let go of any potential bet.
Things have been unstable lately. I must ensure that no matter who among them wins, I have a place. Then, they can help me safely return to the capital."
Shui Cheng instantly understood.
Their young master… was a double agent!
Navigating between a father and son… such a clever move…
"But why does Zhou Kaifeng insist on going after his own father? Blood is thicker than water…" Shui Cheng voiced his long-held confusion.
"Heh heh…" Qin Ming Yang chuckled mockingly.
"Who said they are biological father and son?"
"!!!" Shui Cheng was shocked…
As his shocked and numb gaze watched.
Qin Ming Yang arrived at the Municipal Hall.
He directly threw one piece of information at Zhou Shoushan.
"So Uncle Zhou, you must be extremely careful lately, especially… keep an eye on those around you." He said, fiddling with his cufflinks as if it were a matter of great import.
Of course, he wouldn't reveal all the information. A touch of sincerity was enough.
Besides, even if Zhou Shoushan and the others knew, they probably couldn't stop it. Why reveal it and incur their displeasure unnecessarily…
He was well aware that Zhou Shoushan wouldn't be able to discover the fact that there were ability users planted around him.
Therefore, he looked at Zhou Shoushan with utmost confidence, believing he had revealed a monumental secret.
Zhou Shoushan looked up, staring at him with great surprise, "How could something like this happen?"
His brows then furrowed, and his tone deepened, "I understand. Thank you, Nephew Qin."
Qin Ming Yang was extremely pleased. He had offered a great gift. If Zhou Shoushan managed to fend off Zhou Kaifeng's attack this time, he would surely be praised by his father.
This was the effect he wanted.
The affirmation from an old friend should make his father look at him with new eyes.
After Qin Ming Yang left.
Zhou Shoushan's expression of surprise vanished instantly.
Looking in the direction Qin Ming Yang had left, his eyes became dim and inscrutable.
Luo Xiao Le had already told him about the presence of ability users around him…
But at this critical juncture, Qin Ming Yang suddenly informed him of such a "shocking secret"…
Did he think he was senile…
His gaze shifted, and he understood the source and intent of Qin Ming Yang's information.
His back, standing by the window, appeared weathered and lonely.
His old friend's nephew, whom he hadn't seen in years, had also become such a stranger…
…
Meanwhile, other acupuncture technicians who had finished their work elsewhere.
Were on their way home that evening.
"Whoosh—" A strange wind swept through the nearby leaves.
Making a sound that made one's scalp tingle.
"Don't you guys think…" one of the technicians had goosebumps.
"It smells a bit strange around here?"
"How could that be! This place is cleaned every day. It's a place for daily tasks… But you're right, there really seems to be a smell…"
"It's getting smellier and smellier…"
The bushes beside them suddenly shook violently…
"Roar—" The characteristic roar of a zombie emerged.
"Ah!!!" several people screamed.
Watching the decaying bodies approach them step by step.
The foul odor filled their nostrils.
Fear consumed their minds.
"Zom… Zombies!"
"How can there be zombies in Luocheng Base!!!"
