Chapter 289: A Strange Zhang Hui
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A month ago, Zhang Hui was lucky and had awakened a water ability. Then, she came here to work and receive a stable income. Coupled with the fact that she was an ability user, her days were much better than before.
But Lan Xiang had lost her life when she was out on one of the missions.
‘Ay,’ Zhang Hui sighed, ‘this was life.’
“Aunt Hui, Aunt Hui. You don’t need to give that Chinese cabbage so much water,” the pleasing voice of a girl resounded.
Zhang Hui returned to her senses and immediately withdrew her ability. She looked at the bright and beautiful young girl running over to her, and said with eyes filled with love, “Got it, Aunt Hui got distracted. Oh right. Wenwen, why are you late? Did something happen?”
The person who came over was w.a.n.g Wenwen. She had a smile on her beautiful face and her weak appearance made people have the desire to protect her. However, Zhang Hui knew that this girl was a tough woman; she was strong and unyielding.
Hearing this, the smile on w.a.n.g Wenwen’s face faded slightly. She had gone over to Yun Huan’s place, and ever since that woman told her that Qin Yi was dead, she moved out of the villa. She had no reason to stay in the villa if Qin Yi wasn’t there anymore.
Even when Lin Bai and the others tried to make her stay, w.a.n.g Wenwen still decided to move out, finding a plant production mission. She didn’t believe that the bright and calm youth would die so easily; she wanted to stay here and wait for his return.
During these three months, w.a.n.g Wenwen would go over to the villa from time to time, just to see if Qin Yi had returned.
“Nothing, Aunt Hui. I just overslept. Oh right! Chuxue and Gu Jie aren’t here yet?” w.a.n.g Wenwen didn’t want to tell others about this matter, so she changed the topic.
Zhang Hui wasn’t suspicious of her, shaking her head and smiling when she thought of the other two girls. “They probably overslept as well.”
As they were chatting, Qiu Chuxue and Gu Jie arrived. w.a.n.g Wenwen smiled and walked towards them, then hooked Gu Jie’s arm in her own and pinched her little face, asking, “Why are the both of you so late? How unpunctual!”
Qiu Chuxue’s gaze was indifferent as she smiled, “You just arrived too! We saw you just now, so don’t try to deny it.”
Gu Jie pushed w.a.n.g Wenwen away indifferently, looking straight at her without saying a word.
w.a.n.g Wenwen had gooseb.u.mps from Gu Jie’s stare. She knew Gu Jie’s character, so she didn’t tease her anymore. She cleared her throat, “That… Chuxue, could you not expose my shortcomings?”
Qiu Chuxue rubbed w.a.n.g Wenwen’s head and smiled, agreeing, “Alright, I’ll stop making fun of you. There is a new ability user coming today.”
w.a.n.g Wenwen was a little curious. Their workload here was very heavy but they didn’t have enough resources to work with. In fact, there weren’t many people who were willing to work there at all.
“Who is it?”
Gu Jie pursed her lips, her cute face still expressionless. “I don’t know the person’s name, but I heard that she is a wood ability user.”
w.a.n.g Wenwen was surprised, asking, “Really? That’s great! I’m the only wood ability user here, so it’ll be great to have another one.”
She was a wood ability user and was responsible for producing seeds. Qiu Chuxue was a fire ability user and in charge of the temperature in the large shed. Aunt Hui was a water ability user and responsible for watering the plants. Gu Jie was very strong, so she also did some miscellaneous work.
Actually, considering this was such a big piece of land, it was quite challenging being the only wood ability user here. It would be awesome to have another wood ability user joining them.
Speaking of the devil, the moment w.a.n.g Wenwen finished speaking, a beautiful woman walked over. Her eyes were as sparkly as the stars, her voice gentle and very pleasing to the ears as she introduced herself, “I am Sun Zhilan, the new wood ability user.”
Zhang Hui glanced over, a loud explosion in her head when she saw who was talking.
‘How could it be… How could it be her…’
