Rebirth Of The Apocalypse Queen: On Your Knees, Young Emperor! - Chapter 591

Chapter 591: The Past

Just like that, Huang Ying and Little Rice Ball began to follow them.

Now she just needed to find the ancestral hall’s secret. To be honest, Qin Yi had conflicting feelings toward Gu Cheng. If one said that he was a good man, then he definitely wasn’t the one who kept that thing in the ancestral hall.

But she couldn’t call him a bad person either. She had seen the hurt, apologies, and concern in Gu Cheng’s eyes during the previous battle.

“Huang Ying, what kind of person do you think the village chief is?” Qin Yi’s slender hand knocked on the table.

Huang Ying had spent the longest time in this village, and she understood Gu Cheng better than then.

“Xiao Qi, are you referring to the village chief? I don’t think he’s a good guy. He gives me a weird feeling,” Ze Ning hurriedly said.

He didn’t know why, but he suddenly didn’t like Huang Ying and her brother anymore. He felt that as soon as they came, Xiao Qi’s attention was no longer on him.

A jealous zombie was very adorable. He didn’t know what to do, so he had to quickly speak up.

After Ze Ning spoke, he looked at Qin Yi pitifully and blinked. His blood-colored cat eyes and clean white face were extremely handsome.

He gave a look that said, “I’m so sad that you don’t believe me”.

Huang Ying was stunned. She didn’t know why but she wasn’t hurt or embarrassed by the youth’s “provocation.” Instead, she thought that this youth was quite cute, ah.

A cuteness that had sprouted into people’s hearts.

Qin Yi held her forehead, but still patiently explained, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but Huang Ying’s lived here for a long time, so she knows better.”

Qin Yi knew that Ze Ning didn’t have any ill intention. This zombie youth was different from other zombies—he was simple, and even a little gentle.

“Oh, alright.”

Seeing that Qin Yi wanted to talk about something important, Ze Ning stopped making a fuss and went to eat some snacks.

“Big brother, the village chief is very good, ah. Everyone will go to the village chief for help and he will do what he can. Also, he often took care of us orphans,” Huang Ying answered truthfully.

The village chief was really very nice. Without him, this village wouldn’t have survived so many years.

“But the village chief is weird at times,” Little Rice Ball said all of a sudden. “He likes to stay in the ancestral hall and will sometimes stay inside for an entire day. Furthermore, he never lets us go near the ancestral hall.”

Children have the sharpest senses; Little Rice Ball had seen the village chief going to the ancestral hall in the middle of the night more than once, and he always felt that something was amiss.

Qin Yi furrowed her brows, “What’s that curse in the village?”

“I know, I know this!” Little Rice Ball rushed to answer. The little guy knew when to let himself shine. “Those who were punished and had to kneel in the ancestral hall would eventually die of an illness.”

“But I think this curse is just used to deceive three-year-olds. There were a few people who died, but there were quite a number of people who knelt in the ancestral hall these last few years and they survived,” Huang Ying added.

Qin Yi’s phoenix eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips rose slightly, “Does he have any family?”

Qin Yi had a feeling that the thing in the ancestral hall was very important to Gu Cheng… So important that he would kill people for it.

“Family?” Huang Ying frowned, suddenly recalling, “He does. The village chief initially had a little granddaughter. If she was still alive, she would be around the same age as Little Rice Ball. But when she came to the village, she was killed by a zombie.”
