The long corridor stretches on all sides, with exquisite reliefs carved on the walls. Under the illumination of the wall lamps, it feels like entering a fairy palace.
The owner of this castle is definitely a person who is addicted to luxury.
Even in the apocalypse, he still managed to create such an awesome living environment for himself.
"Are you stunned? What our city lord possesses is absolutely beyond your imagination."
Gu Mobai felt honored. He was very glad that he had pledged allegiance to the West City Lord back then, otherwise he would not have the life he has now.
Qin Su frowned. Xicheng was so close to Wancheng, and Xicheng had experienced the same floods and extreme cold that Wancheng had gone through.
Wancheng, despite receiving continuous supplies, still lived a rather ordinary life, while Xicheng enjoyed such a luxurious lifestyle; there must be something fishy going on.
After all, she hadn't seen any grain grown in the western part of the city along the way.
"We've arrived. Speak politely to the city lord, or I won't be able to help you."
Gu Mobai stopped in the last room of the corridor and warned Qin Su again.
Qin Su raised an eyebrow, telling her to speak properly, but that depended on who the other person was.
Squeak!
As the door opened, the man sitting at his desk slowly looked up.
With blond hair and blue eyes, and a fair and handsome face, he resembled a vampire from a movie.
Is the Lord of West City actually a foreigner?
Regardless of where he's from, anyone who can raise so many monsters is definitely not a good person.
"You're Qin Su?"
His intensely aggressive gaze swept over Qin Su.
Under his gaze, Qin Su felt a burning sensation on her skin.
This person was even less of a kind person than she had imagined.
Even from this distance, she could smell the blood emanating from him.
There could not be such a strong smell of blood unless countless people had been killed.
"The city lord invited me here, yet he doesn't even know my name. Isn't that a bit too casual in handling things?"
Qin Su snorted coldly, "What are you pretending for?"
"Haha, Miss Qin is indeed straightforward."
The West City Lord was stunned for a moment, not expecting Qin Su to be so direct, but he quickly came to his senses.
“Since that’s the case, then I won’t beat around the bush. The reason I invited Miss Qin here this time is to cooperate with her. As you can see, I have many half-human, half-beast subordinates, and I want to improve their combat power. If you agree to cooperate with me, then I can help you protect Mirror Lake Resort.”
This man is ambitious and seems to want to expand his power.
He's taken control of the West City, and the entire city is in dire straits. If we help him, wouldn't we just be causing even more chaos and suffering?
However, if she doesn't agree, this person probably won't give her a good life.
Before Huo Sijin arrives, she must first save her own life and Aunt Zhi's.
"It's not impossible, but I haven't done any research on mutations before, so you need to provide me with previous data."
Perfect timing! She could also take this opportunity to see exactly how Li Boqing developed the medicine that improved physical condition.
“Miss Qin, it’s only right to provide the data, but you have to make me believe that you are genuinely willing to help me.”
The city lord of the West City was clearly not someone to be fooled. Under his scrutinizing gaze, Qin Su shrugged.
"I'm in your hands now, do you think I have the opportunity to do anything reckless?"
Qin Su sighed and then continued.
“My godmother is still in Gu Mobai’s hands. She is still injured. I hope to treat my godmother before conducting any research.”
The city lord of the West City looked at Gu Mobai, and Gu Mobai nodded.
He felt a little smug; as expected, Qin Su treated that old woman differently.
With that old woman by his side, he could keep Qin Su firmly in his grasp.
"In that case, arrange for Miss Qin's godmother to receive treatment. Mo Bai, you must take good care of Miss Qin's godmother."
The West City Lord's eyes gleamed with a dark light. He had been worried that Qin Su would disobey him, but now that he had captured the person Qin Su cared about, things would be much easier.
Qin Su went to see Xu Jingzhi and found that Xu Jingzhi had already been bandaged up.
"Young Miss, you must not do anything for them. These people are all bad. Doing things for them is like asking a tiger for its skin."
Xu Jingzhi would rather die herself than have Qin Su do bad things.
"Godmother, don't worry, I won't help them do bad things."
Qin Su blinked, and after confirming that Xu Jingzhi's wound was not serious, she gently persuaded her again.
"Godmother, you need to take good care of yourself. I'm still waiting for you to protect me."
Xu Jingzhi nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely get better soon."
They're in deep trouble now, she needs to get better quickly.
Seeing that Xu Jingzhi had regained her spirits, Qin Su then left.
Inside the laboratory, Li Boqing was applying medicine to Qin Xiaoru.
Ahhhhhh...
Qin Xiaoru was in so much pain that her whole body was convulsing. The wound on the snake's tail began to fester, and the rotten flesh had to be scraped away little by little before the medicine could be applied.
The anesthetic had no effect on her tail, so for the moment, she could only endure the intense pain during treatment.
Qin Su raised an eyebrow. No wonder her powder had no effect on these monsters before. It seems that they have developed an antibody against drugs that are effective against all humans?
However, Qin Xiaoru's cries of pain and rolling around were truly unpleasant to hear.
She scratched her ear, wishing she had waited.
In the brief moment between rolling around, Qin Xiaoru saw Qin Su standing prettily at the door, her face becoming increasingly ferocious.
"You bitch, I'll kill you."
She then blamed all the disasters on Qin Su.
If Qin Su hadn't refused to take her in, she would be the one living a glamorous life now.
When Dr. Li saw Qin Su, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes as well.
Qin Su's talent left him feeling utterly powerless, unable to catch up. What angered him even more was that Qin Su was still so young.
What he disliked most were exceptionally talented young people.
"You can't kill me, but you'd better behave yourself. After all, I'm going to be involved in your monster research from now on. Whether you suffer more depends on your performance."
Qin Su raised her head and looked at Qin Xiaoru's snake tail with disdain.
Qin Xiaoru was trembling with anger. She wanted to take action, but the city lord of Xicheng had already given the order that they must fully cooperate with Qin Su.
If she dares to disobey orders, then her fate will truly be sealed.
Hehe, seeing Qin Xiaoru's expression of wanting to kill her but being unable to, is actually quite satisfying.
"Dr. Li, are you just going to let her do whatever she wants?"
Qin Xiaoru was afraid of being punished by the city lord of Xicheng, so she encouraged Li Boqing to take action.
Li Boqing glared at Qin Xiaoru with a sinister look in his eyes. This useless woman, she still wants to use him?
He was jealous of Qin Su and wished he could destroy her. However, if he could take her abilities for himself and then kill her, it would obviously be even more satisfying.
"What do you mean by letting her do whatever she wants? Miss Qin was specially invited by the city lord to conduct research!"
As he spoke, he brought over the experimental data for Qin Su to see.
Hehe, just you wait and see. Once you figure it out, everything will be his!
