Chapter 253 A Lingering Melancholy
Chen Mianmian suddenly whistled: "Wow, this cool guy, is he Nan Nan's brother?"
Lu Xici gave a curt "hmm," inwardly thrilled: [Sure enough, anyone with eyes can see that my sister and I look exactly alike.]
"Such a magnificent face, and there are actually two male versions! Although the older brother isn't quite as good as the younger brother, only resembling him by a third, it's still enough..." Shen Mianmian suddenly leaned closer to Lu Nange, her red lips curving into a smile: "Nannan, do you think it's appropriate for me to be your sister-in-law?"
Everyone... Huh?
Lu Xici: "..." How presumptuous of you!
Lu Dongzhuo, who was about to extend one foot to introduce himself, quietly withdrew it.
Lu Xici swiftly hid behind her younger sister: "Miss Chen, watch your words."
He Zhuo whispered to Gu Qi, "This girl's got some nerve... Look how scared she's made Ci-ge, even Shenyan came out."
Gu Qi: "What, envious? Weren't you just about to introduce yourself as Lu Hezhuo?"
He Zhuo: "Nonsense..."
Just as Shen Mianmian was about to press her advantage, Shen Yan suddenly grabbed her by the back of her collar.
The man pointed expressionlessly behind her—Uncle Hao was frantically giving her signals, his arm almost dislocated from the effort.
Shen Yan grabbed Shen Mianmian's wrist: "I'm sorry, my sister..."
"Who's your sister!" Chen Mianmian struggled violently, "Chen Yanyi, let go of me!"
The man's voice turned cold: "Deep, weak, weak."
Chen Mianmian froze instantly.
Lu Beiye quietly took half a step closer to his sister: [Sure enough, no matter how old you are, you can't escape the fear of being called by your full name. Luckily, I've been a good girl, and my sister hasn't called me by my full name in a long time.]
"Mianmian..." Shen Yanyi suddenly softened his tone.
"Stop!" Chen Mianmian jumped back, rubbing her arms. "Stop! Who are you trying to disgust? I...I won't say anything, I'll shut up, okay?"
Uncle Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief—[As expected, only the young master can handle this little devil who goes crazy from time to time.]
"Gentlemen," he stepped forward and bowed, "I stopped you only to thank you in person. If it weren't for you clearing out the zombie horde, we might not have been able to get away for a while. If you're not in a hurry, why don't you rest at our base for a couple of days before continuing your journey?"
Lu Xici glanced at Chen Mianmian, who was still staring wide-eyed, and subtly pushed Chi Yanzhou forward.
Chi Yanzhou: "...No need. We're after the crystal cores, not you."
Hu Yan suddenly pulled at the person next to her and muttered sarcastically, "I told you, what kind of good person would refuse to help someone in distress?"
She glanced sideways at Lu Nange and the others: "Look at those women, all alluring and seductive, who knows what they used to get those crystal cores for their upgrades..."
Everyone felt a gentle breeze pass by—"Ah!!"
Hu Yan suddenly collapsed to the ground, her mouth full of blood mixed with broken teeth, and she rolled around on the ground.
Lu Xici and the others exchanged glances—although they didn't understand what was going on, for Nan Nan to take action, this woman must have said something she shouldn't have.
"Ah...that...bitch..." Hu Yan cursed incoherently, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
As Chen Mianmian watched the wind element disappear, vines instantly wrapped around Hu Yan's neck: "You're clearly a woman, yet you only dare to yell at women... No, you're not even human. You're just a dog, after all, you really are a leopard that can't change its spots. I wonder what breed of dog you are, that you can just open your mouth and poop?"
The wind blade in Lu Nange's palm dissipated, but the killing intent in his eyes did not fade. He originally wanted to finish the attack and kill Shen Mianmian directly, but he could wait and see how she fared.
"Chen... Mianmian..." Hu Yan stammered, "I... I didn't say you..."
The heavy vines tightened even more: "Do I need a reason to dislike you?"
Hu Yan: "We're from the same base, you can't treat me like this!"
Chen Mianmian: "Oh, who said a base can't be attacked? It's normal to clean up trash."
Uncle Hao: "Little darling..."
Unexpectedly, the next second Hu Yan's head exploded with a "bang".
Lu Nange and her group all turned to look at Shi Xu.
"LuLu, I saw it." Shi Xu blinked innocently. "She made you unhappy. Humph."
Lu Beiye: "Sister, you can't just attack without saying anything. It will upset her."
"Beibei, I understand." Shi Xu nodded, fiddling with the hem of her clothes. "Next time, ask Lulu before 'bang'..."
Lu Beiye gritted his teeth: [You want a next time? Humph, no sportsmanship, you actually beat me to it.]
Apart from Shen Yanyi, who managed to dodge in time, Uncle Hao and the others stood frozen in place, their faces still covered in bits of red and white flesh...
Chen Mianmian flicked the bloodstains off the vines: "Nan Nan, don't misunderstand~"
She tilted her head and smiled: "I'm usually very gentle and have a great personality, it's just that this bitch..."
Everyone... [Do you think anyone present would believe that?]
Chen Mianmian kicked the headless corpse: "Its mouth is filthy, dirtier than a latrine. It just opens its mouth and poops; it's disgusting."
Lu Nange's fingertip swept towards Uncle Hao and the others: "Do you want to help her...?"
"No, no, no!" Uncle Hao led the charge, waving his hands frantically. "She deserved to die! Good riddance!"
Shen Mianmian looked at Lu Xici, who was still standing behind Lu Nange and avoiding her like the plague, and pouted: "Um... Brother Nan Nan, stop hiding. This young lady has her eye on your sister, not you."
Lu Xici: "..." For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel fortunate or angry.
Shen Yanyi: "In any case, thank you for your help. Qingyun Base welcomes everyone at any time."
He paused for a moment, then said, "My name is Shen Yanyi. Just come over and tell the guards you're looking for me."
Chen Mianmian immediately squeezed forward: "Reporting mine is fine too! Nan Nan~ just say you're looking for Chen Mianmian."
Lu Nange nodded: "Okay, I've got it, Chen Mianmian."
"Then I won't bother you any longer." Shen Yan had just turned around when Shen Mianmian grabbed him.
"Who gave you permission to make decisions for me?" She glared at them. "They saved us, and they thanked us, but you didn't even ask their full names. You're two-faced, a hypocrite..."
Shen Yanyi: "Lu Nange, Lu..."
Shen Mianmian: "Who told you to remember Nan Nan's name? I'm warning you, you're not allowed to make a move on Nan Nan. You old man, don't you even know if you're good enough for her?"
Shen Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Shen Mianmian, shut up."
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was icy: "Don't you even look at how old she is? I'm not that much of a beast."
Gu Qi and the others inexplicably glanced at Chi Yanzhou, whose temple veins throbbed...
"Get out of my way!" Chen Mianmian broke free with an elbow strike: "Is it too much for me to say goodbye?"
Shen Yan glanced at his watch with a cold expression: "Thirty seconds, Shen Mianmian, don't waste her time."
