"Who are you……?"

Qiao Qiu was a little confused. She didn't seem to recognize this person, but he looked somewhat familiar.

The handsome man was a little sad. He lifted his long leg and walked over slowly. "Can't you tell at all? I'm Su Xi."

"Su Xi?" Qiao Qiu was fully awake, yet seemed not to be. "Aren't you only seven years old?"

Can anyone tell her how a person can change such a big thing in a short time? Even Nezha couldn't do it that fast!

Su Xi paused, then laughed again, "It seems the person who told you didn't tell you that the zombie curse can freeze a person's age."

Qiao Qiu was completely stunned. It really existed!

This zombie curse is awesome!

"So, how old are you exactly?"

Qiao Qiu felt that the fact that she could still ask questions calmly instead of rushing over and punching that handsome face was already a testament to her strong self-control.

"I'm twenty years old this year." Su Xi touched her face and smiled, "It's a little strange to suddenly grow up this much."

Qiao Qiu felt her hands were itchy. "Su Xi, come here."

Su Xi knew what she was going to do, but she still went over and sat down in front of her.

Qiao Qiu punched him in the stomach, then rained down punches on him. "You damn Su Xi, would it kill you to tell me your real age?! Ahhh, I sleep with you every day, you big pervert! I'm going to beat you to death!"

Su Xi was nearly knocked out of breath by the beating. He reached out and restrained her hands, coughed twice, and said, "I look too young, so I can't marry you. If I want to be with you all the time, I have to keep it a secret, otherwise you will definitely reject me."

Qiao Qiu was so irritated that her face could have been boiled with an egg, and this guy actually went and gave a detailed explanation.

"Wind Whisper, I'm leaving for a few days."

Now that she's grown up, she's started calling Feng Yin. Didn't she used to call me "sister" so happily? Qiao Qiu was very unhappy and just hummed in response.

Su Xi smiled and said, "I'll be back soon."

Su Xi didn't say what he was going to do, and Qiao Qiu didn't ask him what he was going to do either. After her birthday, she arranged for the future development of Nancheng and sent the researchers back to their respective cities. She just waited for him at the end.

Qiao Qiu didn't have to wait long before the Lord of the North City proposed to her, and her first reaction was to refuse.

However, he didn't give her a chance to refuse. He appeared in front of her and knelt down to propose in front of everyone.

The person proposing was none other than Su Xi, who had been away for several days.

Although Qiao Qiu was surprised, she still agreed. No matter how he became the city lord, he would tell her the answer anyway.

According to Su Xi's later confession to her, during his childhood, the apocalypse occurred, and his father died at the hands of zombies and became a zombie himself, making the inheritance of the family a major problem.

At that time, he was the only one of his brothers who was still young. His mother was his father's second wife, and she gave birth to him relatively late in life.

The brothers conspired and took all the family's property, leaving behind an orphan and a widow.

That night, zombies entered the Su family home. To protect him, his mother pushed him into the basement and then blocked the doorway with her body.

Unfortunately, this still couldn't stop the zombie invasion. Su Xi was scratched by a zombie, and he hid in a corner that the zombies couldn't fit into, where he transformed into a high-level zombie.

And so, twelve years passed.

Now that everything is in the past, when the North City Lord saw his younger brother return safely and heard him ask for his position as city lord, he gave up the position without hesitation—because he felt guilty—the effect of Qiao Qiu's brainwashing.

The sight of two city lords together was naturally a cause for celebration. However, two other people found it quite jarring.

One was Bai Wei. Before she was released, although she became a normal person, Qiao Qiu still shattered her crystal core. Without her crystal core, Bai Wei's appearance gradually aged. She was too ashamed to face Luo Lin, so she found an ordinary job in Nancheng and lived an ordinary life.

The other one is Luo Lin, who seems to have been forgotten and has been locked in a small dark room, except for the person who brings him food every day.

Luo Lin had actually considered bribing the person who brought him food, but this person was a loyal fan of Qiao Qiu and knew that he had been imprisoned for framing Qiao Qiu. He refused all the benefits offered by Luo Lin and kept the secret that he was still there.

Qiao Qiu lived a happy life until her death. Not only that, she also spent her life learning how to be a civil servant. She felt that she would return to reality one day, and since she would go back, she should not forget the purpose of learning. She still needed to take the certification exam.

Back in the ring space, the ring greeted them, but its voice was weak: "Welcome back, Master."

Qiao Qiu raised her hand and looked at the sparkling blue diamond on it, very happy. "Xiao Jie, look, one of them is shining."

"I saw it," the ring's voice was still muffled.

"Aren't you happy that I lit up a diamond?" Qiao Qiu sat up and looked at the TV screen.

"Of course I'm happy that Master can light up the diamond, but Master, have you forgotten what I told you before, to stay away from that person? You are enemies! Enemies!"

Qiao Qiu's breath hitched, and she asked, "Is Su Xi really Zhao Yuce?"

"Yes." The ring was exhausted. How did it end up with such a troublesome owner?

Qiao Qiu frowned. "But how is that possible? Didn't you say that I would encounter a lot of trouble if I were with him? But I haven't felt any trouble at all."

"That's because you two are too powerful, completely overshadowing the protagonists and practically becoming the rulers of the previous world. They caused you a lot of trouble, but you resolved them intentionally or unintentionally. Some troubles were even eliminated without a trace, which is why you were able to live so smoothly. Otherwise, why do you think you were able to run into Bai Wei and Luo Lin doing things that are inappropriate for children as soon as you arrived?"

Qiao Qiu certainly knew this; she hadn't lived that long in that world for nothing. Nevertheless, she nodded, a dark glint in her eyes. "I understand."

"Master, please listen to my advice, keep your distance from him, and don't be with him anymore," the ring pleaded earnestly.

"Once I transmigrated, I couldn't even be sure exactly who he was in the body of. You can't just stop me from falling in love, can you? When love comes, you can't help yourself." Qiao Qiu appeared innocent, but she had other thoughts in her mind.

"In short, if you're with someone who causes a lot of trouble, then you shouldn't be with that person. That's definitely the right thing to do."

Qiao Qiu glanced meaningfully at the ring on her hand, but did not refute it. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try to keep my eyes open."

"Master, I'm doing this for your own good. Please don't act impulsively." The ring sensed the change in her aura but didn't think much of it, assuming that she had been a politician for too long in the previous world and was experiencing some 'aftereffects'.
