Chapter 120: Fake Kindness
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Lin Qiao believed that if Netherworld Fire was really her, she should know the guy named Yang Jianhua as well. After all, she would never let an unfamiliar person be her right-hand man.
However, she didn’t know anyone named Yang Jianhua. So, she wondered who that man was.
Long Qingying read her note, then responded, “Yang Jianhua met Chief after the apocalypse. I heard that he saved Chief’s life when she was dying, so she and her family all saw him as a savior. However, I’ve also heard that Yang Jianghua was exactly the reason why Chief was trapped in a zombie city that time, but she didn’t know it!”
Hearing that, Lin Qiao frowned slightly, thinking that there were still many things for her to figure out.
Unlike her, Du Yuanxing’s expression changed utterly as he stared at Long Qingying in disbelief and shouted, “What? Are you saying that Yang Jianhua entrapped Chief on purpose, then went to save her? Why? Chief wasn’t strong yet back at that time, was she? Did he know that she was gonna build a base later?”
Long Qingying glanced at him and said, “No, Yang Jianghua did that because he wanted Lin Wenwen. He needed an opportunity to get close to her family. Chief Netherworld Fire was still weak back then, so he entrapped her and saved her. Poor Chief! She was so grateful to him, and after that, she kept him by her side to protect and help him to grow stronger. But, that dark-minded sc.u.m wasn’t touched by the grat.i.tude of Chief and her family, but had been hara.s.sing Lin Wenwen the whole time.”
Du Yuanxing widened his eyes as he couldn’t believe what he had heard. “Do you mean he entrapped Chief to get close to Lin Wenwen? How could that sc.u.m do something like that! Chief’s family don’t know about that, do they?” He said angrily, “Otherwise, why would they protect him like a family member? The entire base knows how nice Chief was to him, but what did that sc.u.m do? He betrayed the base and murdered our Chief! He’s still chasing Lin Feng and the others now!”
Du Yuanxing thought that the people from Earth Dragon Base must have made very attractive offers, so Yang Jianghua betrayed Chief and her family who had been looking after him; he thought that Yang Jianhua was just an ungrateful person.
However, now he learned that Yang Jianghua was not only ungrateful, but more like a poisonous snake which had stayed by Chief’s side and quietly waited for an opportunity.
Thinking about that, he was getting more and more wrathful.
Long Qingying gave a cold smile and said, “Poor Chief! Perhaps, till the end of her life, she still didn’t know that the sc.u.m had been taking her kindness for granted. He even used her to promote his own position in the base.”
Lin Qiao knitted her brows on hearing their conversation. She couldn’t have thought that something like that had happened to her other self. The other Lin Qiao kept an evil man by her side as her savior, and ended up being murdered by him!
At first, she felt like hearing the story of the other person. But somehow, she sensed that something seemed to emerge in her head as she heard the word ‘savior’. However, when she thought about it carefully, she got nothing.
Why would that happen?
“Such an a*shole! Do Great Captain and his family now know about that?” Du Yuanxing said through gritted teeth.
Long Qingying shook her head and responded, “I don’t think so, unless Yang Jianhua told them himself. I only heard about that after I had sent them away.”
Back at that time, she knew where Lin Wenwen and her family members were heading to, and also knew that an ambush was waiting for them. Therefore, she told Lin Wenwen and the others that a large and heavily armored enemy force was waiting for them, so they better take another way to leave.
She saved Lin Feng and the rest by telling them about the ambush.
Soon after that, she overheard a secret conversation between Yang Jianhua and some Earth Dragon Base people. That was how she learned about Yang Jianghua’s scheme.
Some people said that Yang Jianghua betrayed his base because Long Yubai happened to save his life; others believed that Long Yubai had seduced Yang Jianhua.
But in fact, those weren’t true. The truth was that Yang Jianhua was just one of Long Yubai’s s.e.xual partners. He liked Long Yubai, so he gave him his entire base.
Long Yubai cared nothing about Yang Jianghua. However, he still fawned over the latter because he wanted the Hades Base.
Long Qingying was the only one on Lin Feng’s side who knew about these things. She wanted to find Lin Feng and his people, because she planned to tell them about all this.
“The most important thing for now is to find Great Captain, don’t you agree?” Long Qingying asked while turning to Lin Qiao. The latter was thinking about the whole Yang Jianhua problem and her other self, as well as her current situation…
Hearing Long Qingying’s question, she stopped wondering and nodded. Long Qingying was right; the top priority now was to find Lin Feng and his family.
She turned to walk to the furniture area. Long Qingying and Du Yuanxing didn’t know what she was doing, so they silently watched her.
Lin Qiao found a training suit which was as same as the one she was wearing, then threw it at Du Yuanxing.
Du Yuanxing caught the suit, then realized that his clothes were all wet. And then, he found something strange.
“Eh?”
Hearing his voice, Long Qingying and Lin Qiao both turned toward him.
They saw Du Yuanxing holding the clothes and lowering his head to look at his chest, then check his hands and touch his face.
“Oh my! My skin doesn’t hurt anymore! Why? My skin tissue isn’t burned to death, is it? Is my sense of pain gone?” he said.
Even though his words sounded ridiculous, Long Qingying and Lin Qiao had noticed his condition as well. Before he was thrown into the lake by Lin Qiao, he was already burned by Huo Wu’s fire for a while. He knew that back then, his skin had already begun swelling and peeling.
Huo Wu’s fire had an incredibly high temperature, and was way more harmful than ordinary flames.
However, Du Yuanxing couldn’t sense any pain at the moment. He checked his skin and found that new skin had actually grown out under his burned skin. When he touched those wounds, he only felt itchy.
He didn’t understand what had happened to him, but Lin Qiao did. However, even she didn’t think that the lake water could heal his wounds so fast. Du Yuanxing was soaked in the water for a short while, but all his burns were actually healed.
That was amazing!
Lin Qiao felt that the water of the lake in her s.p.a.ce was almost like a magic water which could heal all sorts of injuries and diseases, for both human beings and zombies…
Somehow, she suddenly felt that Du Yuanxing was very lucky.
‘He was healed by soaking in the lake for a short while. I should have asked him to pay me. It seems that I should treat this lake well from now on!’ She thought.
