Capítulo 980: Chapter 64: Shui Longyin Outsmarts Xu Shu
Xu Shu wasn’t so heartless beast; given that the other party was clearly in trouble, he couldn’t really just leave her completely alone.
Besides, he already knew so much, if he truly didn’t care, then perhaps… heh heh!
Oh well, save them to the end, send Buddha all the way to the west, earning this demigod’s favor looked not easy, actually it’s not that relaxing either~
Xu Shu sighed helplessly and then changed his tone: “Oh, it turns out I misunderstood earlier. Please rest assured, senior, from now on I will take care of you until you are fully recovered.”
“Alright, then I’ll be counting on you to take good care of .” Shui Longyin was naturally quite satisfied upon hearing this and smiled.
After thinking for a mont, she added: “Um… if you don’t mind, let’s drop the senior and junior thing. It sounds weird. Just call Yaoyao.”
“Okay, Yaoyao little sister.” Xu Shu unceremoniously called out.
Shui Longyin pouted: “Hmm? Although I’ll rely on your help from now on, it’s not good for us to ss up the hierarchy like this, right?”
Xu Shu probed: “Then, Aunt Yaoyao?”
“Say it again.” Shui Longyin pinched her fist.
“Sister Yaoyao.”
“Hmm.” Shui Longyin nodded in satisfaction, “Then thank you, Brother Xu Shu.”
“Huh? Isn’t this ssing up the hierarchy again? That’s not good, right?”
Shui Longyin said sweetly with a smile: “It’s alright. From now on, you call sister, I call you brother, each of us talks in our own way.”
“That works too.”
Just after Xu Shu finished speaking, he suddenly felt a slight vibration in his underwear.
Even though soone was beside him, he didn’t mind, casually opened the drive to take a look.
[Your friend “Tao Tao” sent you a photo, received]
Zhong Xiaoya had arrived at the scene, the image still showed her as the cute little girl no taller than 1.2 ters, with a captured low-level leader of the Residual Sound Society behind her.
“I’m here, where are you, Little Hero Brother?” Xiao Ya asked.
“Sothing ca up, I left first, you’ll have to handle things from here.” Xu Shu replied.
“In such a hurry, where are you going? Won’t you even et your little sister once? Little Hero Brother, you’re so cruel~” — Tao Tao.
Xu Shu paused, glancing at Shui Longyin who was clearly curious but politely stayed put, not attempting to sneak a peek at the screen, quickly replied: “I think we better not et for now, I’m afraid my Yaoyao little sister might misunderstand.”
Xiao Ya: “?????”
Xu Shu didn’t reply further and directly switched off the Ascension Network.
Shui Longyin blinked, pretending to be curious: “Who was that?”
Xu Shu casually waved his hand: “Oh, nobody important.”
Shui Longyin was slightly taken aback, thoughtfully nodded: “Right, nobody important.”
The two exchanged a glance, each seeing a hint of appreciation in the other’s eyes.
Xu Shu didn’t press Shui Longyin about why she was injured and weak, nor did he inquire about the puppet incident.
Helping you is fine, but I don’t want to know about other stuff, it’s none of my business, I’m only here to lend you a little help during this ti, just don’t bring any big trouble to —that’s what Xu Shu ant by “nobody important.”
Shui Longyin certainly understood the implied aning in Xu Shu’s words, so she willingly inford Xu Shu that this matter wouldn’t affect him, hence, she also said “nobody important.”
Xu Shu started asking Shui Longyin where she was planning to go next, whether she was returning to the city; Shui Longyin said she’d just stay in the wasteland and wouldn’t go back. So Xu Shu began ntioning that so small towns in the wasteland were nice, suggesting they visit together tomorrow, and Shui Longyin appreciatively agreed.
The two tacitly shifted the topic, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere beca lively.
It seed as if they weren’t in a cold underground morgue but in a water-filled amusent park.
On the side, Yuwen, bruised and swollen, watched this scene and heard their conversation, feeling quite astonished.
What were they talking about?
What seven days to recover?
What Tai Chu?
What senior and junior?
What Brother Xu Shu and Sister Yaoyao?
What on earth are they talking about?
A series of questions flooded his mind, but they were quickly dispersed by his strong survival instinct.
The most important thing right now was to get out of here quickly!
Yuwen gathered up his courage and interrupted: “Sir, I’ve done everything you instructed, so please fulfill your promise and let go.”
Xu Shu looked at him, nodded, and brought him to the door, suddenly stopping to ask: “You heard everything we were talking about just now, right?”
“I heard, but…”
As soon as Yuwen spoke, he suddenly felt sothing was off, his face turned pale with fear as he quickly changed his words: “No, I didn’t hear anything, I didn’t hear anything at all, nothing…”
“Why worry? I’m just asking, look how flustered you are.”
Xu Shu scolded, “I, a dignified third-tier expert, have promised to spare your little life, could I deceive you?”
Only then did Yuwen breathe a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat off his wrinkled face, deeply grateful: “Thank you, thank you so much for your graciousness, sir!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Shu’s expression turn cold.
“Don’t be too happy too soon; your little life is spared.” Xu Shu pointed to the floor beside him, at the mature nurse who was scared into unconsciousness a long ti ago.
“Uh?” Yuwen’s expression froze, unable to grasp Xu Shu’s aning.
But the next second, he understood.
Because his head suddenly felt like it was a released balloon, shooting upwards, hitting the ceiling, and then falling back to the ground, entering the cold storage where he had dealt with many victimized bodies.
In the final mont of his life, he saw Xu Shu and the woman who had risen from the dead leaving together, with only a demon-like whisper in his ear saying: “—but your old life won’t be spared.”
Realizing what had happened, Yuwen’s head struggled to open its mouth, glaring resentfully at Xu Shu’s departing figure, letting out a despairing wail:
“No! I clearly followed your instructions… how could you break your word… you can’t do this! You freakin’ can’t do this ahhhh~~~”
