Chapter 371: This is Her s.p.a.ce
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before the others could react, Wu Chengyue—a level-seven superpowered man—and his daughter were both wrapped up by those weird vines and disappeared within a blink.
“Chengyue!” The look on Meng Yue’s face changed drastically. She raised her head to look at where those vines were, but saw nothing. Those vines had wrapped Wu Chengyue and his daughter and vanished into thin air.
At that moment, a vine that was as thick as a finger suddenly reached out of a corner and quietly coiled around Meng Yue’s hand, then quickly disappeared.
Meng Yue paused for a second, then fell into silence with a strange expression.
“Miss. Meng, how do you feel?” Seeing the look on her face, the others were confused. They weren’t worried about Wu Chengyue though. As a level-seven lightning-powered man, how could he possibly be afraid of those mysterious vines?
Besides, none of them had sensed any intent of attacking from that vine, not to mention the intent of killing. That was the reason why Wu Chengyue reacted slowly. If those vines had a vicious intent, they would have been turned into ashes by Wu Chengyue’s lightning strikes the moment they showed up.
Meng Yue looked at the others confusedly and said, “That weird vine delivered a message to me. It said—’I need to borrow a man’… What does that mean?”
‘I need to borrow a man?’
The people were all bewildered, then felt that those vines had really made a great choice. They actually picked the strongest man in the room.
“Eh… They borrowed Chief to do what?”
The others shook their heads, all feeling utterly confused. They had nothing but puzzlement in their eyes.
…
At that moment, Wu Chengyue who was suddenly dragged into Lin Qiao’s s.p.a.ce, was also in confusion. Wu Yueling was held in his arms. Once they came to this place, those white vines disappeared.
Wu Chengyue alertly looked around and found that he was standing beside a strange lake. He automatically made a few steps backward to get away from the water, then turned his head to observe the surrounding environment.
There was a gra.s.sland and some furniture pieces, along with strange-looking woods. Apart from those, the area miles away was all foggy, and so was the sky. The sky seemed to have been covered by a thick layer of fog.
He moved his hands, but then had his expression change. He held Wu Yueling with one hand and put the other before his face. Electric currents had been sizzling in his palm, but were much weaker than before.
Those tiny electric currents flashed in his palm.
He raised his head to look at the sky, but wasn’t able to sense even the slightest lightning power from it, as if the connection between him and the sky was cut off. He could still feel the sky, but couldn’t generate any lightning power anymore.
Simply speaking, his power was suppressed in this place. At this moment, he couldn’t release ten, or even five percent of his power.
When the alarmed Wu Chengyue was trying to figure out what was going on, Wu Yueling suddenly twisted her body and slid out of his arm.
“Ling Ling, don’t run! This place is dangerous!” Wu Chengyue gave a start and hurriedly stopped her. However, Wu Yueling shook her head at him, then pointed at a small s.p.a.ce.
Wu Chengyue looked that way and saw a figure flas.h.i.+ng across.
“Who’s there! Come out!” He gave a shout.
Shen Yujen carefully walked out of the small s.p.a.ce, looking at him with confusion. There was a long distance between them, so Wu Chengyue had to give her a close look to recognize her.
“You are… Jen?”
He knew Chen Yuting’s wife. Upon seeing Shen Yujen, he was slightly surprised.
Shen Yujen slowly walked over and stopped three meters from him, then nodded.
Wu Chengyue looked at her from head to toe questioningly, then asked her, “It’s really you! You’re a… You’re a zombie now, right? Was it really you who bit Piao Gecang?”
Shen Yujen looked at him timidly and nodded.
Wu Chengyue calmed down, then looked around and said, “So this place is her s.p.a.ce, isn’t it? “Where is she? Why did she suddenly bring us in?”
Shen Yujen pointed at the lake, then shook her head at him.
She had no idea why Wu Chengyue suddenly showed up in Lin Qiao’s s.p.a.ce, but she knew that Lin Qiao had gone down into the lake earlier and hadn’t yet come up.
Wu Chengyue glanced at the lake surface, then turned back and asked her, “What do you mean? You… Can’t you speak?”
Shen Yujen shook her head at him, then nodded.
Wu Chengyue rummaged through his pockets, then found a notepad and a pen.
“Here, write down what you want to say.”
Shen Yujen obediently walked to him before taking over the notepad and pen, then wrote—’She went down into the lake, hasn’t come up yet.’
Wu Chengyue looked at her bewilderedly, then read the note again. After that, he turned to the lake with confusion and said, “In the lake? What is she doing in the lake?”
Beside his legs, Wu Yueling has been turning to the lake from time to time.
Wu Chengyue looked at Shen Yujen and asked, “You’re already awake, but why aren’t you with Chen Yuting? Does he know that you’ve woken up?”
Shen Yujen lowered her head with a sad face. Looking at the stones on the ground, she shook her head again.
Wu Chengyue gave her a few glances, then seemed to understand her meaning. “You don’t want him to see your current look, right? You should know that he wouldn’t mind how you look now. He doesn’t even care that you’re a zombie. Why are you still worried about it?”
Shen Yujen raised her head to look at him, her eyes showing a strong feeling.
Wu Chengyue continued blandly, “Your relations.h.i.+p with him is about both of you. You’re suffering here, and he is dealing with an even greater pain outside. You can’t only think about yourself. If you love him, I think you shouldn’t hide from him.”
The feeling showing in Shen Yujen’s eyes grew even stronger. If she were still a healthy human being, her tears would have streamed out of her eye sockets.
Wu Chengyue was right. The relations.h.i.+p was about both of them. She was hiding here alone, and that was unfair for Chen Yuting.
However, she wasn’t yet ready to go out and see him.
“You have taken your revenge and realized your wish. Just go back and live a life with him…” While speaking, Wu Chengyue suddenly twitched his nose as if he sensed some kind of smell. “Have you sensed some kind of smell? It’s a little weird…” he asked Shen Yujen.
Shen Yujen sniffed at the air, but then confusedly shook her head; she had detected no smell at all.
Wu Chengyue lowered his head to look at Wu Yueling and ask her, “Ling Ling, have you sensed any smell?”
Wu Yueling stuck her head out from behind his thigh and glanced up at him, then sniffed around in the air. After that, she nodded at her father to let him know that she had sensed that strange smell as well.
That smell wasn’t unpleasant, but neither was it sweet or refres.h.i.+ng. It was just a little strange, and was quite strong.
Shen Yujen looked at the two with surprise.
Was there a smell? But she smelled nothing. Was it because she was a zombie?
