Rebirth Of The Apocalypse Queen: On Your Knees, Young Emperor! - Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Fragrance

Zhao Wei liked Gao Qing, but between being able to survive or winning the girl, he would definitely choose the former.

Gao Qing trembled with anger, never expecting Zhao Wei to say such words. She wanted to leave with Qin Yi for the sake of the entire group. She thought she’d leave the place safely and find others to save them, but Zhao Wei had accused her of the worst things.

Gao Qing was ashamed and angry at herself, but she was much more angry towards Zhao Wei. Whether it was for saying those words in front of Qin Yi or supposedly revealing her true intentions, she didn’t know.

Gao Qing started to cry, the tear-stained face of the beauty meant to make others take pity on her.

“How can you say that about me? I merely wanted to—I just wanted to go out first and find other people to save you guys… How can you say that about me?”

When Zhao Wei saw Gao Qing crying, his heart immediately felt her pain. From her words, he realized that he had mistaken her intentions, feeling even worse.

He lowered his voice, his tone meant to comfort her. “Qing’er, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have accused you of those things. I’m just so afraid! You’re our pillar here. If you were to leave, we’d have nothing. I was wrong, please don’t cry.”

Zhao Wei stepped forward, prepared to soothe Gao Qing, but she stepped away from him.

Zhao Wei didn’t think much about it, figuring that Gao Qing hadn’t forgiven him yet.

Qin Yi watched their show with excitement, her eyes filled with joy.

“Hehehe, what a nice show!”

Yun Huan lowered his head and whispered indifferently in Qin Yi’s ear, “You like this, Qiqi?”

A faint scent of peppermint surged up Qin Yi’s nostrils as a slight burning sensation pounced on her earlobes. Qin Yi immediately felt somewhat ticklish, meaning to retreat a step back but somehow got closer to Yun Huan, feeling the peppermint smell become stronger.

Qin Yi couldn’t comprehend how someone could have such a scent in the apocalypse. How and where did he get it?

Yun Huan looked at Qin Yi in a daze and felt his mood elevate. The person in his embrace was small, warm and soft, ‘his’ faint scent drifting to his nose. It was fresh and natural without being the least bit overpowering, but Yun Huan was unable to make sense of what fragrance it was. ‘He’ was too skinny, but that could be fixed with some further fattening.

“Not bad,” Qin Yi said with an evil smile, “But it is not exciting enough. We need to add fuel to the flames.”

Yun Huan did not retreat, allowing this person to lean on him. Qin Yi was also very comfortable and remained where she was.

Tired of seeing the group, Qin Yi spoke to them. “Sorry to intrude, it isn’t impossible for you guys to follow us out, but we have a condition.”

Zhao Wei and Gao Qing were startled, asking timidly, “What condition?”

Qin Yi smiled, an evil intent behind her eyes. Even so, the look was one that no one could hate, instead making her even more attractive.

“The condition is simple. Either she comes out with us, or you guys do. It’s one or the other. Let me give you all a word of advice, there are still zombies outside and they do eat people.”

Seeing their dazed looks, the evil intent behind Qin Yi’s eyes became stronger, “Have you guys thought about it? Who’s coming with us?”

Zhao Wei and Gao Qing looked at each other for a few seconds before Zhao Wei stood up in anger. “Don’t even think of separating us! if we leave, we leave together. If we stay, we stay together. We have some loyalty left in us!”

Gao Qing also looked at Qin Yi, determination shining in her eyes as she declared. “Don’t try to test us. We are all in this together! How could I leave my companions behind? They’re all good people and would never agree to your demand, right?”
