Chapter 557: Head to M-City
Gu Cheng’s face was flushed, and his rough, old hands were shaking, but he had no choice but to compromise with the arrogant Yang Jindi.
Ancestral hall—it was a secret he had to keep!
“I got it.”
This was a silent compromise. So what if he was upset?
“Hng, Gu Cheng, I also want a good house!” Yang Jindi had one demand after another, her eyes sparkling with joy.
“Okay, I understand,” Gu Cheng said with gritted teeth. However, when he saw that Yang Jindi wanted to say more, his face turned cold.
“Don’t be too greedy and insatiable, it’s not good. After all, there’s no point in having so many things if you aren’t alive to enjoy them, right?”
Gu Cheng spoke, his eyes like little daggers flying straight towards Yang Jindi. Yang Jindi couldn’t help but squirm, smiling in embarrassment.
“I- I understand.”.
But there was some discontent in those eyes; she wanted more supplies, eh.
On the roof, Qin Yi was basking in the sun while her mind was at work.
She wanted to explore this ancestral hall.
But before that, she had to poke around and find out through the villagers what exactly had happened in this village.
Seeing Yang Jindi walk out dissatisfied, Qin Yi leapt gently and left.
Gu Cheng was tired and went home, but before he could take a seat, he heard a knock on the door.
“Village chief, are you there?”
It was Gu Mei.
“Come in.”
Gu Cheng composed himself and put on a kind-hearted mask as he smiled and opened the door, “Oh, it’s you. What’s the matter?”
Gu Mei could see the lethargy on Gu Cheng’s face and thought that it was because of Yang Jindi, so she went straight to the point, “Village chief, I’m not the one looking for you. It’s Qin Yi.”
When Gu Cheng heard that, he turned to look at the youth next to Gu Mei. The youth in white was as elegant as jade, taking him back slightly.
Although he had met Qin Yi last night, he was stunned every time he saw her.
“Why are you looking for me?” Gu Cheng looked at Qin Yi kindly. There was a gentleness and kindness in his turbid eyes; nobody could ever imagine how vicious and ruthless he was behind their backs.
Qin Yi smiled and looked at Gu Cheng, acting very well-mannered.
“Village chief, I am planning to stay in the village for a few more days, so I came over to pass the supplies for these few days to you.”
“Oh, good, good.” Gu Cheng was surprised, taking the things that Qin Yi handed over, but he felt like something was strange.
However, he didn’t know where this feeling was coming from.
Qin Yi smiled faintly.
She was clearly harmless, but Gu Cheng still felt a little afraid.
“Oh yes, village chief, when are we going to M-City? We don’t have many crystal cores left,” Gu Mei reminded him when Qin Yi had settled her matter.
“M-City?” Qin Yi turned to look at Gu Mei, a little puzzled.
Gu Mei liked Qin Yi very much; such a clean young man could be said to have poked at the softness in her heart.
“M-City is not far from our village, and there are a lot of zombies and beastmen there. Sometimes, we go in groups to kill some zombies,” Gu Mei explained to Qin Yi.
“I see... Can I go with you?”
Qin Yi was not surprised. Humans were very smart now and crystal cores had become essential. Due to this, some people had deliberately left a few cities empty to “breed” zombies.
“Of course you can,” Gu Cheng answered, looking at Qin Yi with a smile.
Gu Mei was quite surprised as she turned to Gu Cheng. Didn’t the village chief say that those who weren’t from the village weren’t allowed to go? So why did he change his mind right now?
