Chapter 78 Discussing the Wedding Date

In the stillness of the night, the young man, who hadn't returned to the apocalypse in a long time, followed Chi Zhao hesitantly, holding one of her fingers, and whispered, "Can we go back to the place we used to live in?"

That was the place where he first spent time with his wife; they had many wonderful memories there, and he wanted to see it again.

Chi Zhao stroked her husband's soft head; in the darkness, only his bright eyes were visible, seemingly sparkling. "Hmm, I'll take you back to see him."

Lin Yanzhou was happy to be returning to his homeland, skipping and hopping behind Chi Zhao.

The northern base seemed much more desolate than when they left. The entire base used to be crowded with people, even late at night, but now the streets were deserted.

Many of the houses allocated to people with superpowers are unoccupied.

Chi Zhao led the people back to their former home, which had not been assigned to anyone else. It was also clear that no one had lived there for a long time; the house was covered in dust and was quite dirty.

Lin Yanzhou tenderly wiped the table with a handkerchief, but someone grabbed her hand and said, "Don't wipe it anymore, we'll go back as soon as we're done."

He pursed his lips and nodded, slowly leaning closer to his wife, and whispered, "I'll keep our home very clean from now on. After we get married, I'll take care of you like it's the end of the world, and cook for you, okay?"

Chi Zhao put his arm around him, pressed his head against his face, and said helplessly, "You are a prince, why are you cooking? The cook's food is much better. You just need to rest."

That was incredibly tactless, and the young prince immediately glared at him angrily.

"You think my cooking is bad???"

puffed up with anger.

Seeing his chubby cheeks puffed out, Chi Zhao chubby and amusedly poked them with a finger, causing half of his breath to leak out.

"snort!!!"

"I didn't marry you to have you cook. You just need to keep me company. There are other people who can do that."

"But, but I also want to cook for you, I want to take care of you."

"Then do it occasionally. Doing it every day will hurt your hands. Listen to me."

Chi Zhao turned her head and kissed her husband.

Her husband blushed and whispered, "Okay, I understand."

What a sweet little husband.

Chi Zhao gently rubbed her husband's cheek.

"Let's go, let's finish this quickly so we can go back sooner."

"good."

Chi Zhao took her husband to the base leader's residence. There were far fewer people in the base, but her room was still heavily guarded.

"Use the secret door."

She discovered it by chance one day. There was a hidden door in the house, which was covered by dead branches. But when the branches were knocked off, the door was revealed.

The young prince nestled in his wife's arms, covering his mouth and nose because of the stench in the air. He frowned, touched the door, then withdrew his hand and whispered, "But we don't have a key."

Chi Zhao also awkwardly remembered that yes, they didn't have a key. She had seen the door from the inside and could open it directly, but opening it from the outside required a key.

【99, can you just help us get in?】

The system was cold and ruthless: "I won't help. My energy is needed to buy a new body; I can't waste it."

The system can have various forms, but you have to spend energy to complete tasks. It got tired of the little bee form and wanted to buy the big cow form, so it needs to save up energy.

It cannot be used indiscriminately.

Chi Zhao:.

That's good.

She lowered her eyes and made no move. She took her husband back to their home to rest for the night. The lights were off and no one knew she had returned. The next day, the base gradually began to stir. After all, it was the apocalypse, and everyone had to work hard to survive. Even the base managers couldn't stay indoors all the time.

Sun Yi emerged from the heavily guarded area, rallied the remaining crowd, and delivered an inspiring and encouraging speech.

She always liked to do this kind of thing, encouraging others to fight for her.

Chi Zhao watched coldly as the crowd dispersed, and Sun Yi was stopped on her way back.

The flashing lightning nearly struck her.

But Sun Yi was also a superhuman, and reacted quickly, dodging to the side and then looking behind him with surprise and uncertainty at the crater created by the lightning.

A bad feeling arose in my heart.

Such powerful lightning abilities...

"Long time no see, everyone."

Chi Zhao slowly emerged from the alley.

"Chi Zhao!"

"Boss Chi?!"

Those who were protecting Sun Yi were all shocked, and some even abandoned Sun Yi to chase after her.

Sun Yi felt a chill run through her body the moment she heard Chi Zhao's voice, and now she was both shocked and furious, her heart pounding with panic. "What are you doing? Chi Zhao has already defected from the base!"

She could tell from Chi Zhao's expression that he was up to no good, and that things were probably not going well today.

The faces of the several superhumans stiffened when they heard the words "betrayed the base," but they were still somewhat unwilling to believe that the other party would betray them.

After all, we haven't heard any news about Chi Zhao going to other bases for a long time. He didn't help other bases or the zombies, so how can that be called betraying the base?

"Boss Chi, what exactly happened? Why did you suddenly disappear?"

As they anxiously asked, their eyes darted around and they were startled to see a man who had long been dead. "Brother-in-law? You, you're not dead!"

Lin Yanzhou curled his lips into a smile. He remembered these people; he had even cooked for them before. Humph, they all liked to coax their wives out to fool around.

Luckily, I'm a troublemaker, and my wives don't listen to them anymore because of my antics.

Upon seeing Chi Yanzhou, Sun Yi was utterly panicked. Others might not know, but she knew that Chi Yanzhou was definitely dead, beyond any doubt. How could he possibly be here?

Her face was deathly pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably. "You...you are ghosts?"

Could it be that the two of them have turned into ghosts and come looking for revenge on her?

Thinking about this, my fear lessened a bit. Ghosts shouldn't be able to hurt people, right?

Is that right?

The other superhumans looked over in surprise, "How could it be a ghost? Boss Chi has a shadow. What are you talking about?"

Sun Yi's character is not exactly upright; in fact, she is somewhat selfish. Therefore, they prefer Chi Zhao to her.

After all, Chi Zhao is always willing to lend a hand when he's in danger.

Sun Yi then saw the shadow on the ground, and her relief vanished. She rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

Chi Zhao said coldly, "This has nothing to do with you. I will kill her today."

Everyone was startled again. "What did she do?"

After a simple weighing of the pros and cons, they realized that they couldn't beat Chi Zhao in a fight, so there was no need for them to risk their lives for Sun Yi. Besides, they had disliked Sun Yi for a long time, so they simply chose to turn against him.

In the end times, who doesn't live for themselves?

Lightning crackled in Chi Zhao's palm. "She tried to harm me, so of course I can't let her get away with it."

To harm her husband is the same as to harm her.

"No, no, what are you all standing there for? I am the founder of the base! Without me, you wouldn't be where you are today! I am your leader! Chi Zhao has already betrayed the base! Kill her now!"

Having traversed several worlds, Chi Zhao's supernatural abilities seem to have grown even stronger; the lightning in his hands is terrifying just to look at.

Sun Yi summoned a flame in terror.

"Yanzhou, close your eyes."

Although her husband had killed countless people, she still didn't want him to witness the brutality.

"Chi Zhao, listen to me! If you let me go today, everything in the base will be yours. I don't want anything, I just want you to let me go. Besides, I never intended to kill Chi Yanzhou. It was Mu Yang who wanted to kill your husband. I never intended to kill him!"

When people are in a critical situation, they can't even take care of their sons.

Chi Zhao showed no mercy. She was in a hurry to return to ancient times with her husband. The sky was filled with lightning and thunder. Almost everyone in the base knew that a fight had taken place between high-level superhumans, and they all fled, not daring to get close.

After Chi Zhao dealt with this one, only Sun Muyang remained.

He was much easier to deal with than his mother. When he first saw Chi Yanzhou's face, all he could see was resentment and jealousy. He almost wanted to immediately question him about how he was still alive.

When Chi Zhao appeared, his resentment turned into surprise, but soon he realized that the two men had come with ill intentions.

Before he could turn and run away, a bolt of lightning struck, burning him to a crisp.

He died quickly, with some pain but not much. Although Chi Zhao hadn't used his powers for a long time, he was still satisfied with his control over them.

The young prince also praised her from behind, saying how amazing she was.

"I told you not to open your eyes."

"He lied to me, so I'm angry."

And most importantly, this person covets his wife and is his number one rival in love, hmph.

The leader of the Northern Base and her son were both dead, leaving the base leaderless for a time. However, a powerful superhuman soon took over, and the base returned to its former state in no time.

Chi Zhao didn't care much about the rest. After dealing with those who had hurt and bullied Yan Zhou, she took her husband back home.

Although the ancient world was not open, it was a place where everyone could live in peace and prosperity if there were no wars.

Lin Yanzhou followed his wife closely, not wanting to return to the palace, and kept urging her to marry him as soon as possible.

He couldn't wait at all.

Pressed relentlessly, Chi Zhao had no choice but to enter the palace the next day to discuss the wedding date with the Emperor.

The Emperor was pleased with Prime Minister Chi's eagerness to marry a prince, for in her eyes, her son was naturally inclined to side with the royal family.

Even if he had some affection for Chi Zhao, he could not betray his identity as a prince.

The emperor knew absolutely nothing about being obsessed with love.

After Chi Zhao finished discussing the matter, he left the Qin Zheng Hall. Before he even reached the palace gate, he saw a slender and conspicuous figure on the palace road in the distance. Her long robe was fitted and outlined her slender waist.

He no longer needed to disguise himself as a eunuch to leave the palace.

"Chi Zhao."

As soon as the little prince saw Chi Zhao, he couldn't wait to run over and then buried his head in her arms.

"How's your talk with her going? Are we getting married next month?"

His eyes were full of anticipation when someone lightly flicked his head. "Dream on. The Ministry of Rites won't have time to prepare next month, so they've set it for December."

That would be the month after next.

It will be soon.

By then, he will have turned sixteen, and his wife will no longer think he is too young, right?

Lin Yanzhou thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.
