Chapter 258 – Professor, Please Don’t Raise Zombies (48)
The crystal core in Yan Che’s hand was dazzlingly beautiful, mesmerizing to the extreme. Yan Che gazed at it indifferently, feeling the power within, and finally, a smile emerged on his lips.
An unexpected surprise.
The ‘woman’ in midair paused for a few seconds before plummeting suddenly, crashing to the ground in a bloody mess. The muffled impact coincided perfectly with Cheng Xiaoxiao’s startled cry.
“You?!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao truly hadn’t expected to have her prize snatched midway, let alone by him.
Her gaze landed on the crystal core in his grasp. Thinking about what lay beyond the folding screen, she bit her lip slightly.
Yet, her face maintained a friendly smile as she quietly pulled out a few crystal cores to replenish her ability.
“Didn’t expect to run into you here. Back then, the situation was urgent, and we—”
She was rambling.
Yan Che impatiently furrowed his brows. He had taken almost everything worth taking. The things inside did interest him somewhat, but not enough for him to conduct a thorough investigation.
Gripping the crystal core, he tilted his head slightly, feeling that compared to those things, he had far more ‘serious and proper’ scientific research left unfinished.
And clearly, that research was much more exciting.
Yes, he could hardly wait.
“That’s enough. I’m not interested in playing games with you.” Yan Che spoke casually, slipping the crystal core into his pocket. His lips curled up slightly, his mood seemed quite good.
Cheng Xiaoxiao hadn’t fully absorbed the crystal cores in her hands when she heard his remarks. She saw him slowly raising his gold-rimmed glasses and squinted his eyes.
She felt malice and danger!
She instantly abandoned the crystal cores and leaped back.
The moment she moved, several slender vines shot up from where she had just stood. Having missed their target, they swiftly lunged again.
By coincidence, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s evasive maneuver brought her close to where Yan Luo was sitting. Mid-air, their gazes locked.
Compared to Cheng Xiaoxiao’s shock, Yan Luo remained utterly calm, even raising a small paw in greeting before lowering her head again, playing absentmindedly with the vines that had bound her.
Her nails, sharp and curved, poked at the poor vine, pressing and releasing repeatedly.
The vines were part of Yan Che’s body, though due to his high-level ability, they had developed some self-awareness. Now, trapped in the little girl’s grasp, they lay limp, completely still.
When she finally stopped fiddling, they even rubbed pitifully against her palm.
Their character is exactly like that beast in human clothing.
This bizarre sight stunned Cheng Xiaoxiao. No ability user should be capable of this.
A bold suspicion formed in her mind.
That moment of distraction proved fatal, the vines behind her struck again.
Cheng Xiaoxiao twisted her body desperately, but one vine still pierced through her already injured shoulder, sinking deep.
This situation…
Clenching her teeth, she condensed a water blade in her hand and sliced through the attacking vine.
Her gaze locked onto Yan Luo.
The unusual body structure, the faintly off aura from their first meeting…
There was only one possibility.
That girl, was a high-level zombie.
And Yan Luo felt the familiar feeling again.
Yan Luo was speechless.
Did she really look that easy to bully?
Why was it that no matter whether they were humans or zombies, anyone fighting Yan Che always ended up focusing on her?
So unfair!
Why did she always have to suffer the consequences of that beast’s actions?
So frustrating!
