"work to earn a living?"
Upon hearing Zhang Lin's words, the three women and one other woman present reacted in different ways.
Li Shiyun didn't react much; she just stayed quietly to the side.
After all, all she could think about was hitting and being hit; she had no concept of anything else.
But the city lord and Xia Xiaonuan are different.
The two men knew Zhang Lin very well.
Upon hearing this, everyone was certain that Zhang Lin, that bastard, had indeed set his sights on Li Xinyue and Li Shiyun.
'You'll die from a woman sooner or later!'
The city lord cursed inwardly.
Xia Xiaonuan, on the other hand, clenched her fists tightly.
It's hard.
The fist has hardened!
But only a moment later, she loosened her fist.
'Fine, when he saved me at the amusement park, I decided that from now on, no matter what he does, I'll go along with it... Besides, he was probably just after the reward...'
Xia Xiaonuan tried to convince herself of this, but she couldn't help feeling a pang of jealousy.
And Li Xinyue.
She didn't think much of it, but instead carefully considered Zhang Lin's request. Finally, she said with difficulty, "Well... Xiaoyun can stay, but I have to go back. Our city isn't as strong as Hope City. If I'm not there, our compatriots there might all die..."
“I’ve made the decision. Li Shiyun will stay. Xiao Li, you hurry back and organize the humans in your area to resist the beast tide.”
At this moment, the city lord made the decision directly on Zhang Lin's behalf.
She was truly afraid that Zhang Lin would disregard everything and keep Li Xinyue with him.
Zhang Lin is capable of doing something like this.
But she couldn't let Zhang Lin do that.
Without Li Xinyue's leadership, humanity would have been unable to mount a large-scale resistance, and countless people would have died.
The city lord did not want to see this outcome.
“Xiaoyun can stay.” Li Xinyue nodded. Anyway, her original goal was to keep Li Shiyun here. The little girl was too unruly and wild. She was afraid she couldn’t control her. Hopefully, the city lord could control her in the first place, but now there’s Zhang Lin as well.
She was relatively reassured.
After speaking, Li Xinyue looked at Zhang Lin again and asked, "Is this alright for you?"
Zhang Lin was naturally somewhat unhappy.
Although both Li Xinyue and Li Shiyun have high scores, in the end, the only one he can win over is Li Xinyue.
Li Shiyun is really too young.
Zhang Lin isn't that much of a beast.
If Li Shiyun goes back, it would be more appropriate for Li Xinyue to stay.
He immediately voiced his thoughts.
"This... I'm afraid that won't work." Li Xinyue said with a helpless expression. "You've all seen Xiaoyun's temper. If she goes back alone, she'll probably kill all of us before the beast tide even arrives..."
Zhang Lin frowned slightly.
Keeping Li Shiyun around is pointless...
"Zhang Lin, listen to me, let Xiao Li go back." Seeing this, the city lord had no choice but to speak again. "How about this, I promise you on her behalf that once the beast tide is over, she will return to Hope City and serve you for a while. Is that alright?"
The city lord was also feeling aggrieved.
Even though she knew Zhang Lin's true intentions, she still had to help him.
"Fine, I'll listen to the city lord." Zhang Lin waved his hand, then said to Li Xinyue, "Did you hear that? After the beast tide ends, come find me in Hope City."
"Okay!" Li Xinyue still didn't understand what this "efficacy" meant. Seeing that Zhang Lin agreed to let her go, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, I'll come as soon as the beast tide is over."
At this point, the matter was considered settled.
Li Xinyue immediately left Hope City without stopping.
Actually, she only arrived today.
Leave Li Shiyun behind, seek help, and strive to secure the position of the city lord's top prospective candidate for Li Shiyun.
Three objectives were set, but only one was accomplished.
But she couldn't afford to be disappointed, because she had to get back as soon as possible.
The beast tide could launch an attack at any time.
It was truly remarkable that she traveled such a long distance for Li Shiyun; there was simply no time to waste.
Hope City.
Inside the city lord's palace.
"Little girl, from today onwards, you'll stay by my side. From now on, whoever I tell you to beat up, you'll beat up, understand?"
Zhang Lin looked at the pretty yet fierce Li Shiyun.
She held her heavy sword in her arms and was very obedient when facing Zhang Lin. Upon hearing his question, she immediately showed a well-behaved and lovely smile.
"Okay, I'll hit whoever you tell me to hit!"
Zhang Lin nodded in satisfaction.
This little thing can't be romanced, but it's still pretty good as a henchman.
"Also, from now on, you are not allowed to fight without my orders, understand?"
He said it again.
Li Shiyun had only been in Hope City for a day, and he had already heard about her getting into three fights. He couldn't stand how fierce she was and had to explain herself.
"Um……"
Li Shiyun was a little unhappy now, her little mouth pouted, her face full of displeasure, but she didn't dare to refuse, because she could feel a deadly threat from Zhang Lin at all times.
"If you dare disobey, I'll beat your mother every day when she comes!" Zhang Lin threatened her with a fierce expression when he saw that she was unhappy.
Li Shiyun stared at him with wide eyes, her anger palpable.
"You dare glare at me?"
Zhang Lin was instantly enraged and began rubbing his fists together. "I haven't even settled the score with you for hitting my girlfriend yet. Believe me or not, I'll beat you into a pig's head right now!"
