章 43: Zombie Queen has the Biggest Thigh of All (19)
When Yin Mei finally regained her bearings, it was when the zombie emperor had dumped her on the sofa of her room in H City.
She was extremely confused.
How in the word had she gotten here?
She took a moment to recall what had been happening before. She had been battling Lei Han. She had been defeated by Lei Han. The zombie emperor had appeared. She had been princess carried by the zombie emperor??
Yin Mei paused. There seemed to be something wrong with her memory. Let's try again.
She had been battling Lei Han. She had been defeated by Lei Han. The zombie emperor had appeared. She had been princess carried by the zombie emperor??
Nope, no good, it seemed that her memory was really too faulty. Something like being princess carried by the zombie emperor was too delusional, right?
Mm, she must have been hallucinating. That's right.
"What are you thinking about?" A voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts, and she blinked, to find that the zombie emperor's face was suddenly mere inches away from hers before she had realized. He was griping the head of the sofa and leaning in toward Yin Mei, who had been lying on the sofa before she had realized.
"Uh, aren't you a little too close?" Yin Mei asked, placing her hands in front of her.
Huh? Why did she get this weird sense of deja vu?
But, before she had time to recall, the zombie emperor grabbed her wrists, pulling her hands away from her.
Uhh, wasn't this position a little...? Yin Mei was blushing furiously, not knowing what was going on. But before the zombie emperor could say anything, the door slammed open, Qin Shuang running in.
He stopped in place, seeing only the zombie emperor from his point of view. But his little face contorted, and he ran over to the other side of the sofa. "Ahhhh!" He shouted, pointing at the two of them. "Let go of my big sister!" He flushed red in anger, unleashing an army of red threads onto the zombie emperor, who effortlessly dodged them.
The two began fighting in the spacious suite room, the zombie emperor's expressionless face and smooth movements in sharp contrast to the onslaught of red threads that the completely outraged Qin Shuang was sending his way.
"Hmm? There's something really familiar about this situation for some reason?" Yin Mei went into deep thought, trying to recall, but the noise of battle around her was too loud for her to concentrate.
"Ahhhh, shut up!" She finally said, and Qin Shuang immediately froze in place, his face stiff as he struggled with himself. Although he really wanted to kill that b*stard Ning An, he also didn't want to go against his big sisters orders. In the end, he finally obediently withdrew his threads, glaring in the zombie emperor's direction.
"That's better." Yin Mei said, but she had already forgotten what she was trying to remember. In the end, Qin Shuang interrupted her thoughts again with another shout, pointing at her hand as his mouth opened and closed.
Yin Mei, with a question mark on her face, looked at her hand only to see the wound in it from being stabbed by Lei Han's knife. "Ahhh!"
"Ahhh!" Qin Shuang shouted in response.
"Ahhhh!" Yin Mei shouted in shock and pain.
The two of them both shouted together until the Ri twins walked in on this mysterious scene, not knowing how to feel.
"What the f*ck is going on?" Only when Ri En said this did the shouting stop and Yin Mei calm down, though her eyes were tearing up from the pain of the wound on her hand and the rest of her body.
"Ri Ennnnnn, listen to this, your big sis got bullied by a horrible, horrible person!!" Yin Mei cried, sobbing as she was about to go to Ri En for a comforting hug, but was immediately shot down by his cold expression.
"You're not my big sister. Don't think of me like those other kids you've picked up." He said with a scoff.
Yin Mei had on a hurt expression, immediately turning toward Ri En's younger sister, Ri Yi for comfort. "Ri Yiiiiii, listen to this, your big brother is bullying me, even though I'm hurtttttt!!" She wailed, and Ri Yi obediently let her hug her, patting her back comfortingly as she shot Ri En a scolding glare.
"There, there, what in the world happened?" She asked, looking at Qin Shuang and the zombie emperor for answers.
Qin Shuang naturally had none. He had only sensed that the zombie emperor had come back with Yin Mei, and so didn't know anything else.
On the other hand, the zombie emperor turned his head, not saying anything. Ri Yi didn't expect anything, as aside from Yin Mei, this guy had actually never talked to a single one of them once before, in the entire two years he had been here.
Yin Mei let go of Ri Yi, blowing on her hand wound as she answered for him. "I went to go kill someone and got my butt handed to me. That guy was such a bully, even though my father saved his life he still wants to ruthlessly kill me. Don't you agree he's a horrible person?"
The Ri twins nodded their head, though secretly they were thinking she got what was coming for her, considering she had tried to kill him first... even if her father had saved that man's life, that didn't mean he should wash his neck to wait for her right?
"Ahh, I know what you're thinking, that I got what I deserved, right? It's not my fault, that guy wanted to kill me first okay?" Yin Mei said, as she went to the kitchen to look for the first aid kit. Though she could always go to the Dark Saint, she always had an aversion toward his way of healing and these injuries weren't too serious, so she decided just to disinfect them and bandage them up for now.
Hearing what Yin Mei said, now they looked down on the person that Yin Mei had gone to kill. Though in the apocalypse, being betrayed and backstabbed was common, it still said something about a person's personality when they tried to kill the daughter of their life's benefactor. Well, considering it was Yin Mei, they understood.
Yin Mei saw that they were nodding with an understanding gaze on their faces and immediately felt disgust. "What the hell, after all I do here and you guys treat me like this. I wanna run away from home." She sniffled, and immediately Qin Shuang ran over to comfort her, also obediently grabbing the disinfectant away and treating her injuries for her.
"What, you haven't gotten tired after running away for a day already?" Ri En said, raising an eyebrow.
"I only ran away for a day, that was clearly not enough time for you to appreciate my existence and all I do for you brats. Just see if you can stand a week without my food!" Yin Mei said, sneering at Ri En, who flinched. Okay, her food card was effective against all humans.
He immediately apologized profusely while using all sorts of carrot and stick methods to get her to cook dinner for them today.
In the end, she got so annoyed that she drove them all out, a sulking Qin Shuang included.
Only the zombie emperor remained with her. Well, they did share the room after all, so Yin Mei couldn't exactly drive him out. In the first place, she didn't have the guts to.
There was an awkward silence between the two, and Yin Mei's ears were pink, still feeling embarrassed when she recalled what just happened. What did the zombie emperor want to say just then?
Suddenly, the man sat down next to her, and took her injured hand in his, taking the bandage that Yin Mei was in the middle of wrapping and finishing it neatly.
Yin Mei's mouth was in a giant "O" shape, as she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Who was that person?" The zombie emperor asked with a gloomy voice and expression, his eyes practically oozing killing intent.
"Uh..." Yin Mei actually wasn't sure how to reply. He's the protagonist of this world and will kill me in the future because I betrayed him in a past life??
"Who was he." The zombie emperor said, more firmly this time, his tone of voice not even asking a question anymore, simply demanding the answer from her.
"He was a member of my father's special forces regiment and apparently I betray him in the future so he kills me in this future so I came back from this future to create a different future where I kill him first?" She said, but not even she could understand what she said, so she didn't expect the zombie emperor would.
But the zombie emperor nodded sagely, as if finally understanding everything this world had to offer, his expression profound and all knowing.
... At least it was good that he understood.
Thinking this, she withdrew her hand, but for some reason, the zombie emperor grabbed her wrist, looking into her eyes. His eyes were blood red, the lashes were long, and the two moles at the edge of his left eye exceptionally seductive looking.
Yin Mei was weak when the demon king looked at her like that.
No, but he wasn't the demon king. He was the zombie emperor...
"Stop it!" She suddenly shouted, her head lowered as she didn't want to look at him anymore. "Just stop. You and your stupidly beautiful face... Why do you look so much like him... is this just the system tormenting me...?"
The zombie emperor was confused, not understanding what she meant. Was she complimenting him or insulting him?
"Little rabbit, don't be sad." He said, the term "little rabbit" just naturally slipping out of his mouth.
Yin Mei froze. "What... did you just call me?" She looked up, her eyes wide. Actually, the demon king had never called Yin Mei little rabbit to her face, but Yin Mei had been a rabbit demon in her past life. So hearing this, the first thing she associated it with was her former body Bai Yu.
The zombie emperor seemed to pause for a moment, but repeated it for her. "Little rabbit," he said. He felt that this term was exceptionally suited toward her for some reason, though he wasn't quite sure why. Was it because she had a small and sweet appearance like that of a rabbit? An image flashed through his head. No, that was wrong. The appearance she had back then was different from this...? The zombie emperor had a moment of confusion, not knowing what was what anymore.
"You... why would you call me that?" Yin Mei's voice was shaky. No, calm down, she gripped her arm hard. He wasn't the demon king. Even if he looked like it, there's no way he could be the demon king. The demon king was dead. This wasn't even the same world. Godd*mmit! That f*cking beautiful face of his! It was what was misleading her!
"Because... you remind me... of a rabbit?" The zombie emperor tilted his head, as if even he was unsure of this. He looked at her. He felt that her appearance was all wrong. She should be wearing a beautiful red robe, with long splendid black hair and a cold and mature aura. No, that was wrong too. She should have white hair and eyes the color of jade.
At this point, he finally noticed that her pretty black hair had been sawed off and he gently touched it, feeling a little sad. He remembered that back then, he had really liked her black hair. No, or was it her white hair? Her white hair had been soft and fluffy, reminding him of the rabbit she was descended from.
"I... who..." The zombie emperor muttered, clutching his head as a headache came on, and he was unable to tell where he was. Or when he was?
What was this? It hurt.
It really hurt.
He groaned, trying to stand and stumble into the kitchen for a glass of cold water.
Yin Mei was shocked and worried, having never seen the zombie emperor in such a state before. She felt extremely worried and grabbed him, sitting him back down on the sofa. "What do you want? I'll get it for you," she said, her voice a little rushed and shaky, as if she was worried he would drop dead right then and there. Oh, wait, that was wrong. He was already dead...
"Water." The demon king answered, his face even paler than before, looking deader than how dead it had already been.
Yin Mei rushed into the kitchen to grab a glass, and summoned some cool refreshing water into it with her powers before helping the zombie emperor drink it. He wasn't sure if he felt better afterwards.
In the end, he fell unconscious, his clothes clinging to his body in cold sweat, and Yin Mei dried him off by dispersing the sweat particles on him with her ability. She wasn't thick faced enough to take off his clothes and dry him with a towel. She covered him with a blanket, though it was unnecessary, and returned to her own room feeling conflicted.
What was that? First, he called her little rabbit, and then he collapsed from a headache? Yin Mei truly had no idea what was going on. She shook her head, and decided to rest first. She had just gotten out of a battle with Lei Han, and was feeling extremely exhausted.
Meanwhile, Ming Wei who had been left behind in B City: Lu Mei, don't think I'll forget this!

littlemist I decided to do 9 chapters a week instead of 7.
1/9 of regular chapters for the week.
Y'all didn't really say much about patreon or discord... Well, I went ahead and created one anyways, since it would be nice if I can spend my free time writing more instead of a part time job. I don't really mind if no one supports, it would just be nice if some of y'all did so I don't have to take on more work. Links in synopsis.
