Two hours later, Bai Chulan came out of the room.
He staggered a little, his face was even paler, and the collar of his clothes was open; he had changed into a collar made of cat skin.
The older brother, who was watching from the sidelines, saw this and reached out to help, but Bai Chulan gently pushed him away.
"Need not."
He coldly uttered two words, and even though he was extremely weak, he still mustered his last bit of strength to straighten his back and walk downstairs.
It's tragic that someone possesses the power of light to save others but cannot save themselves.
...
No sooner had Bai Chulan left than Li Canhua arrived.
She covered her mouth and nose in disgust, finding the underground air filthy and repulsive.
But the thought of Ruan Tian spending the last few days in such a terrible basement made him feel instantly happy.
"With such amazing superpowers, yet living such a miserable life, Ruan Tian, you're something else."
Li Canhua imagined in her mind how Ruan Tian had been tortured to the point of exhaustion these past few days, and felt an immense sense of pleasure.
"You brought this all on yourself."
When she stood before Ruan Tian in person, seeing Ruan Tian's haggard face, her thin, sallow cheeks, and her spirit tormented to the point of collapse by darkness...
Li Canhua wants to make Ruan Tian regret her previous disrespectful behavior towards her!
"This time, I will take back everything that belongs to me!"
Full of confidence, she entered the basement and, from afar, heard Ruan Tian's eerie voice speaking to something in the darkness:
"Big Blackie, you're already so fat, you absolutely can't eat anymore!"
"And you, Xiao Hei, how can you be so useless? Zhong Hei is eating so happily, while you're so timid and helpless!"
ha?
Li Canhua was completely confused. Little Black, Medium Black, Big Black…
Ruan Tian has really gone mad, but it's understandable. She can't get enough to eat or sleep in this basement, and it's so dark.
Li Canhua felt a little sorry for Ruan Tian.
She quickened her pace and came to stand in front of Ruan Tian, peering through the iron fence.
They found Ruan Tian sitting in a small corner, muttering nonsense into the air.
She smiled smugly, speaking with the air of a superior:
"Ruan Tian, the positions between us have long since changed."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian turned around and saw that the person who came was Li Canhua. She even greeted her with a leisurely and elegant manner.
"Oh, what brings you here to see me today?"
This sounds perfectly reasonable, like a normal conversation between friends.
But Li Canhua wasn't buying Ruan Tian's act at all, and rolled her eyes at the ceiling.
"I don't know you at all, so don't try to flatter me, okay?"
Ruan Tian said innocently, "No, I just think you can be rude, but I can't be rude."
"You!" Li Canhua realized that Ruan Tian was implying something about her.
However, Li Canhua quickly calmed down. She tossed her hair over her shoulder and said smugly:
"Now that you're in this situation, don't you have anything to say?"
She didn't give Ruan Tian any other chance to speak, and continued muttering to herself:
"If you kneel down and lick my shoes, begging me to save you, it's not impossible."
Ruan Tian remained silent for a long time.
Li Canhua grew anxious: "Are you scared? Otherwise, why aren't you saying anything?"
Ruan Tian spoke up: "My mom said I shouldn't talk to idiots, otherwise their stupidity will be contagious."
"..." Li Canhua gritted her teeth, "I've discovered that you're really capable; you know exactly how to make me angry."
"I'm not!" Ruan Tian exclaimed in alarm. "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense."
Hearing Ruan Tian's strong voice, Li Canhua suddenly realized...
If Ruan Tian were really as haggard as she imagined, how could she possibly have the energy to joke around with her?
Li Canhua immediately lit the candles and, by the dim light, clearly saw Ruan Tian's current state.
She seems to have gained a little weight.
During the few days I spent in the basement, my skin became noticeably fairer, and I even gained some baby fat on my face.
Not to mention the dark circles under her eyes, Ruan Tian looked absolutely radiant.
Li Canhua fell silent. In disbelief, she moved the candle closer, illuminating Ruan Tian's face clearly.
Ruan Tian even cooperated by leaning her face forward a little.
Why don't you get pimples?
She was so jealous that she gritted her teeth, staring at Ruan Tian's smooth, milky skin, and almost snapped the candle in half!
Because Li Canhua's special ability is fire-based, she has excessive internal heat, and her face often breaks out in pimples if she's not careful.
But during the few days that Ruan Tian stayed in the basement, not only did she not have any pimples, but she was in such good condition that she could debut right away!
She was furious. She thought Ruan Tian would suffer, but she never imagined that Ruan Tian was living a more carefree life than her.
Li Canhua sneered, suppressing her anger, and said, word by word:
"The Red Moon Tide is coming soon. Originally, the Red Moon Tide only happened once a month, but now it has been shortened to once every half month."
No matter how powerful your abilities are, you can't attack zombies on your own initiative. When the Red Moon tide comes this time, I'm going to send you to your death.
I bet the reason you can live so comfortably in the basement is all thanks to Brother Bai.
"You shameless vixen, all you do is seduce my Brother Bai!"
Li Canhua went mad and threw the candle in her hand directly at Ruan Tian's face.
Fortunately, Ruan Tian dodged it in time!
Ruan Tianxin complained to the system with lingering fear, "System, could you please block the words 'Brother Bai'?"
She just asked casually, but she didn't expect it to actually work!
System: [The system has already blocked this for the host.]
Seeing Ruan Tian's absent-minded look, Li Canhua went even crazier!
"You shameless woman, you're with my brother Bai all day long. Do you think my brother Bai would be infatuated with a country bumpkin like you?"
This highly offensive statement, when it reached Ruan Tian's ears, became:
You shameless woman, if you spend all your time with me, I'll become infatuated with you, you country bumpkin!
"Huh?" Ruan Tian blushed. "Oh dear, isn't this... inappropriate?"
Li Canhua was almost driven mad by Ruan Tian's nonchalant attitude.
"Let's see how long you can keep up your stubbornness! And what exactly are your Little Black, Medium Black, and Big Black?"
Ruan Tian pointed to the three little mice in the corner.
"These are the names of the suicide rat team I trained, assigned according to their size. Aren't they super cute?"
Li Canhua is terrified of mice, and she screams:
"Ugh! That's disgusting!"
Ruan Tian disagreed: "How is it disgusting? Mice are so cute!"
"You'll spend the rest of your life with these three dead rats! Who can outlive you?"
After saying that, Li Canhua ran away as if fleeing, without even turning her head back. She even tripped and fell in a sorry state.
For the next two days, Ruan Tian and the mice ate, drank, and slept soundly.
Until... the red moon arrives!
