"Let's go, let's deal with that zombie for the king first."

Jiang Nian'an threw the ice crystal core into her spatial storage and then pulled Shen Nanxing towards the Great King.

'Roar~'

The King and Zombie Number 1 are still locked in a stalemate.

They were both fire-type mutated creatures, and their strength was comparable, so for a time neither could defeat the other.

But with the addition of Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing, the battle turned completely one-sided.

After the two of them and the King dealt with the No. 1 zombie, they quickly arrived at the group of Level 1 zombies.

"An'an, take Xiaolongzhan and the others to the car first."

Shen Nanxing swung his sword, and the power of lightning formed a protective circle in front of Xiao Longzhan, blocking all the level one zombies that were attacking Xiao Longzhan.

Jiang Nian'an nodded and went forward to pull Xiao Longzhan, who still wanted to continue fighting the zombies, back into the car.

Xiao Yin and the other two quickly followed into the car.

"Luo Yi, get your men into the car!"

Shen Nanxing controlled the lightning protection circle to move it in front of Luo Yi and his group.

"withdraw!"

Luo Yi grabbed Luo Yue and quickly got into the car.

Chen Yang and Yuan Yi, along with their bodyguards, followed closely behind the two.

After everyone was on the bus, Shen Nanxing unleashed a few bolts of lightning to temporarily force the zombie horde back before speeding away.

Shen Nanxing took the lead, driving Luo Yi and his group all the way into Dongshan County.

After driving straight along the main road for more than half an hour, Shen Nanxing slowly stopped the car in front of an office building and then made a gesture to the back.

Half a minute later, Chen Yang and Yuan Yi led their men into the office building.

Chen Yang quickly came out again and nodded to Shen Nanxing and the other four people sitting in the car.

Shen Nanxing instructed the three—Da Wang, Xiao Yin, and Xiao Xuehu—to watch the car, and then he and Jiang Nian'an led Xiao Longzhan quickly into the office building.

The rich aroma of cooked food wafted over.

The space-elemental bodyguards didn't turn off the stove when collecting the food, so it was perfectly cooked.

The previous battle had left everyone starving. After serving themselves, they didn't bother to talk and scattered at their desks to eat heartily.

Halfway through the meal, they heard voices outside, and soon a group of people walked in.

Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing looked up at the door.

There were eight people, men, women, young and old, who looked like a family.

"It smells so good..."

The girl in the middle sniffed, unconsciously swallowed, and her gaze fell on the steaming pot on the table.

A half-pot of braised beef noodles with greens and braised eggs is emitting an enticing aroma.

"Grandma, I'm hungry..."

A little girl of about thirteen or fourteen tugged at the clothes of the old lady next to her and whispered something.

"Sweetie, let your dad and the others find a safe place here, and then we'll eat!"

The old lady looked kind and gently patted the little girl's hand.

"Mmm." The little girl nodded obediently.

The middle-aged man walking in front of the two women heard the conversation behind him and turned around to look around.

"Mom, Tingting, let's go over there."

The middle-aged man helped the old lady walk to the place furthest away from Jiang Nian'an and the others.

The other five people quickly followed.

The middle-aged man moved a chair for the old lady and then took off his bag.

After rummaging around inside for a while, I pulled out a packet of instant noodles and a small bread roll.

He gave the dry noodles to the little girl, the bread roll to the old lady, then zipped up his bag and slung it over his shoulder.

"Second Uncle, you haven't shared any food with us yet!"

A little girl of about 10 years old rushed up behind the middle-aged man and tried to snatch his bag.

The middle-aged man shoved the little girl aside and roared, "Get out!"

"Wu Tao, what are you doing? This is your niece!"

When Wang Li saw her daughter being pushed down by Wu Tao, she immediately objected. After helping Wu Minmin up, she glared at Wu Tao.

Wu Tao didn't say anything, but instead moved two more chairs.

"Tingting, sit down and eat."

Wu Tao patted the chair, gestured for his daughter Wu Tingting to sit down, and then sat down next to her.

Wu Tingting lowered her head and sat down next to Wu Tao, dividing the dry noodles into two portions, one large and one small.

"Dad, you eat too."

She stuffed the large portion of dry noodles into Wu Tao's hand, and took the small portion for herself.

Wu Tao was touched, but he refused the food, saying, "Dad isn't hungry, you eat!"

"If Dad doesn't eat, then I won't eat either!"

Wu Tingting stuffed the instant noodles back into the packaging and huffed in a huff.

"Da Tao, if Tingting gives you food, just eat it. My son and I are relying on you!"

The old lady divided the bread in her hand into three portions, giving one portion to Wu Tao and one to Wu Tingting.

Wu Tao looked at the dry noodles and bread in his hand, his eyes stinging, and he choked up as he hummed in agreement.

"Cough cough—"

Seeing the three of them enjoying themselves, the five people around them were not happy.

"Wu Tao, your brother is still hungry!"

"And me too! I'm your sister-in-law, and I'm starving!"

Wang Li snorted, leaned against the desk, glared coldly at Wu Tao, and even pinched Wu Minmin.

Wu Minmin understood, lowered her head, covered her face, and started to cry.

"My dear in-law, we're family! You can't just stand by and watch us go hungry!"

Wang Li's parents bypassed Wu Tao, who remained unmoved by her cold attitude, and went directly to talk to the old lady.

"Who's related to you by marriage? Wu Tao is my only child!"

The old woman's wrinkled face showed disgust as she glanced at them sideways.

"Don't say things like that!"

Wang Li's mother, Qian Shu, walked up to the old lady and said somewhat obsequiously, "Although Wu Yun isn't your biological son, he's still your husband's child!"

"Ha, a bastard!"

The old lady gave a cold laugh and ignored them.

"Tsk, this relationship is really messed up!"

The group's conversation wasn't quiet, and Jiang Nian'an overheard everything they said, whispering gossip to Shen Nanxing.

"Sister, what is an illegitimate child?"

Xiao Longzhan peeked between the two and asked in a low, curious voice.

"An illegitimate child is..."

Jiang Nian'an pondered for a moment, then pointed at Shen Nanxing, "For example, if I marry your brother-in-law, then the child he has with another woman would be an illegitimate child."

"An'an, I don't like this example. I won't do such a thing. I don't want anyone but you."

Shen Nanxing put down his chopsticks, his lips pursed, and looked at Jiang Nian'an with a wronged expression.

"Hehe, just using an analogy, this is to make it easier for little Zhanzhan to understand~"

Jiang Nian'an grabbed Shen Nanxing's hand and shook it with a charmingly innocent expression.

Shen Nanxing snorted softly, leaned down and pecked her lips hard before smiling, "Don't do it again next time!"

Seeing the two of them kissing without warning, Xiao Longzhan rolled his eyes, plopped back down in his seat, and muttered something under his breath.

"Can't you just be a little more restrained in front of the children?"

Jiang Nian'an: "..."

She wanted to tone it down, but Brother Shen wouldn't give her the chance.

Shen Nanxing glanced at him, then kissed Jiang Nian'an again, a hint of smugness in his expression. "She's my girlfriend, so I'll kiss her!"
