The innocent look on his warm, sunny face was gone, replaced by a hint of wickedness.
Wherever it went, the zombies stopped and paid homage to their king.
On the bus.
"What do you and Xiaoming want to talk about?"
Bai Xizhu took out an orange from her spatial storage and asked Leng Yebai while peeling it.
"It's about my physical condition, to see exactly when I'll be able to return to my original form."
