Chapter 172
Rong Rong's thoughts of devising a wicked plan were so obvious.
But the way she did it didn't make people feel disgusted at all; instead, it made her beauty even more vibrant and even added a touch of allure.
At this moment, the only image of Rong Rong's purity and kindness that Xiao Mingxu had in his heart gradually dissipated.
No, it should be said that her sanctity remains, but she has gained a thousand more forms. It is this transformation that makes Rong Rong even more beautiful and captivating.
Xiao Mingxu became increasingly entangled.
"Sorry I'm late!" Xiao Mingxu broke the silence first.
He ignored Yin Wang and spoke directly to Rong Rong, which naturally weakened Yin Wang's terrifying aura.
Rong Rong tilted her head and smiled sweetly, "It's okay, you don't owe me anything!"
"Besides, I have my little brother, that's enough!" Rong Rong said, patting Yin Wang on the shoulder.
Her words were more effective than anything else, instantly softening Yin Wang's aura, while Xiao Mingxu and the others felt a chill emanating from them.
"I owe you!" Xiao Mingxu said urgently, then added, emphatically, "I owe you a life-saving favor."
"Oh." Rong Rong shrugged indifferently. "Then I'll keep it for now and ask you for it later!"
In Rong Rong's eyes, the male lead wasn't anything special. She didn't intend to be tied to the male lead like other transmigrated female characters. Her mission was to reverse her life, not to win over the male lead. She just wanted to live a good life.
Therefore, Rong Rong had no objection to the male protagonist's desire to repay his debt of gratitude, and her attitude made Xiao Mingxu instantly feel insecure.
It felt like I was back in my high school before the apocalypse, feeling so insignificant that I could only look up at the other person from a corner.
But he is clearly a dual-elemental ability user, a strong one!
Xiao Mingxu's eyes flickered, never leaving Rong Rong.
He felt this way, let alone Wang Tao, Qi Xiu, and Qu Chao next to him.
Those who were weaker than Xiao Mingxu felt as insignificant as dust in front of Rong Rong.
They stared intently at Rong Rong, their eyes unblinking. Yin Wang narrowed his eyes, and Xiao Mingxu and the others instantly felt a buzzing in their heads, as if being pricked by needles.
Yin Wang is a psychic ability user whose attacks are silent and invisible, yet deadly.
Flickering electric light emanated from Xiao Mingxu's body. He tried his best to stand still, while Wang Tao and the others retreated in unison. Ruan Qing even coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Ugh! I'm sleepy!" Rong Rong suddenly yawned, unaffected by anything, and leaned her head against Yin Wang's back.
After witnessing Yin Wang's pure heart, Rong Rong felt much more at ease with people, and their relationship naturally became closer.
Rong Rong's actions seemed to be a command. Yin Wang instantly withdrew his imposing aura, turned around, picked up Rong Rong, and left past the crowd.
Wang Tao stepped forward to stop him, but Xiao Mingxu stretched out his arm and blocked Wang Tao.
The group watched as Rong Rong snuggled into Yin Wang's arms, finding a comfortable position, and quieted down. Yin Wang's lips curved into a faint smile as he walked away, his mood light and cheerful, until he disappeared from sight.
"Captain, so that pretty boy got off easy?" Qi Xiu pushed up his glasses and tried to remain calm, but anyone could hear the anxiety in his voice.
"What pretty boy? He's deadpan!" Wang Tao spat, his eyes reddening as he stared in the direction Yin Wang had left.
Xiao Mingxu's face was ashen, and a fleeting hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, but his calm demeanor quickly calmed everyone down. No matter what, Xiao Mingxu was always the backbone of the team.
Qi Xiu, standing behind Xiao Mingxu, suddenly leaned closer to Qu Chao and asked, "This is what your school beauty looks like. Why didn't you say so before?"
"Huh?" Qu Chao scratched the back of his head, unsure how to explain. His memories of Rong Rong were similar to Xiao Mingxu's; they were also hazy before.
Qu Chao's dazed look instantly ignited a nameless anger in Wang Tao. He dared not speak to the captain, but he would not be so polite to Qu Chao.
He unleashed a barrage of attacks.
"Seriously? You guys are so calm about a beauty like that? Not a sound on the street, not a peep, are you out of your minds? Aren't you going to hurry up and find her? If I didn't eat, drink, or sleep, I'd travel through the night to find her!"
"Aren't you worried about such a beautiful woman in the apocalypse? Aren't you afraid she'll get hurt? Aren't you afraid she'll be deceived in love?"
"Look at you now! It's too late!"
Wang Tao was panting heavily, extremely annoyed.
He vented all his regrets and missed opportunities.
It's all their fault for wasting time on the way; otherwise, they would be the ones standing next to the goddess now, trusted and relied upon by her!
Thinking about the delay, Wang Tao suddenly paused.
He instantly turned his suspicious gaze toward Ruan Qing behind him.
I hadn’t noticed before, but now that I think about it carefully, the reason they were delayed on the road was because this woman kept saying she wasn’t feeling well and needed to rest, and then she led us astray.
Could she have done it on purpose?
Wang Tao's gaze gradually turned cold.
Ruan Qing, who was being stared at by Wang Tao, was completely unaware of his gaze; her face was blank with disbelief.
Is the female lead in the novel really that beautiful? How come she didn't know? The book didn't mention it in detail either.
Isn't this against the rules? Ruan Qing's mind went blank for a moment, and she even thought that she had transmigrated into a game and that the female protagonist, whom she regarded as an enemy, had encountered a bug.
It's a shame she thought so much beforehand, planned so many things, and even wanted to replace him.
Looking at it now, it's really laughable!
Can she replace him? He doesn't need to do anything; just standing there, he can easily win everyone's favor!
She wants to smear the other person's image and cause them to suffer persecution? Impossible! Impossible!
Ruan Qing kept muttering to herself and shaking her head, looking like she had gone mad at first glance.
Her muttering words reached Wang Tao's ears, further fueling his suspicions.
After Ruan Qing adjusted her strategy, she gradually returned to normal. She decided to stop opposing the female lead, knowing full well that she had no chance of winning against her.
Her previously smug appearance was nothing compared to the other woman's, so she had to avoid conflict with the female lead.
At the same time, he saves the later superpowered individuals and the scientific research expert in front of the female lead.
With this network of connections and her healing abilities, even if she can no longer be the First Lady in the future, she will still maintain a high status and live a comfortable life.
Ruan Qing had a good plan, and she regained her gentle and charming demeanor.
She glanced at Xiao Mingxu, feeling unwilling to give up such a high-quality male lead. With a hint of struggle in her eyes, Ruan Qing stepped forward again and said softly, "Rong Rong has a boyfriend."
Yes, that's it. Ruan Qing smiled. She wouldn't go against the female lead, but she could persuade the male lead to give up on her.
The man who just got together with the female lead doesn't seem any less attractive than the male lead, so the male lead has no chance. She's doing this for the male lead's own good!
"Shut up!" Wang Tao roared angrily, and Ruan Qing's smile instantly froze on her face.
"I haven't even blamed you for deliberately wasting time and making everyone miss the chance to save Rong Rong, and you're still nagging me? Believe me or not, I'll throw you into a zombie horde!"
