Riding on His Coattails and Surviving the Apocalypse - Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Jin Xirong’s Remorse
“Ah? Why are you asking me? I have no objections. Didn’t you and Bai Yuli decide everything on the team? How can I understand this? As long as you think it’s good, what objections can I have?” Lou Xiaoluo was a little puzzled. She asked why she was doing this. Could it be that she really wanted to be the honorary vice captain? Was this the rhythm of her career?

“Isn’t this because you’re afraid that your heart won’t feel good? Besides, can you get along well with them?” Di Qiu tilted her eyes at Jin Xirong and said, “The other party is the one who wants to harm you, so you don’t feel uncomfortable at all.”

“I’m not a crystal core. How can anyone like to get along with me? Also, I just need to get along well with you guys. Everyone just needs to do their own jobs. Besides, I’m not a core member. Shouldn’t I be flattered by someone else? What do I have to worry about?” Lou Xiaoluo was very confident now. She hugged her thigh tightly and couldn’t even kick it away.

“Xiaoluo is so cute. How can we not get along well if all of us like her? We might have misunderstood. I hope you don’t mind Xiaoluo.” Jin Xirong said, “Ah, I don’t mind. It’s good that there aren’t similar misunderstandings in the future.” Lou Xiaoluo waved her hand.

Jin Xirong was a little embarrassed and did not speak. “Alright, let’s settle this. Xi Rong, go back and pack up. Just discuss with Yuli.” Ji Shi Tian ordered her to leave. Jin Xi Rong originally wanted to stay, but looking at Ji Shitian who brought food for Lou Xiao Luo and did not look at her again, she could only nod her head and leave elegantly with a smile.

Looking at Jin Xirong’s back and eating the fruit Ji Shitian provided, Lou Xiaoluo always felt that something was wrong and scratched her head, but seeing that no one showed anything, she did not want to. It had to be said that space was really a good thing. The freshness of the fruit was really good, and it was also water-sensitive.

Outside the gate, Jin Xirong’s heart was filled with rage. She had originally thought that without Zhou Yanyang, she would be able to monopolize Ji Shitian. She never thought that Lou Xiaoluo, who had killed him halfway, would have an innocent face and secretly stumbled on her. Lou Xiaoluo’s threat to her was even greater. Jin Xirong really hates how Lou Xiaoluo wasn’t bitten to death by a snake at that time. In the future, it won’t be so easy for her to make a move. Jin Xirong clenches her fists and fierce light flashes in her eyes. Lou Xiaoluo, wait for me. She won’t let anyone become a stumbling block to her.

After returning to the Hope Squad, Jin Xirong told everyone the results and returned to her room to rest. After walking around the room a few times, Jin Xirong adjusted her mood. She wasn’t in a hurry. Her mother had told her since she was young that she couldn’t be in a hurry. Everything had to be stabilized. It didn’t matter whether she won or lost for a while. The winner was the one who smiled. Her mother came step by step to gain a foothold in the Jin Family.

Jin Xirong felt that blacksmithing had to be hard on her own. Originally, Zhou Yanyang was much more fond of Ji Shitian than she was. Part of the reason was that Zhou Yanyang was very strong, and Lou Xiaoluo’s combat strength was also astonishing. She couldn’t lose to them too much.

Jin Xirong decided to seize the time to cultivate. She had been busy since the end of the zoo mission and had no time to cultivate. In the apocalypse, strength was still the most important thing. Now that everything was settled, she needed to calm down and cultivate. As usual, Jin Xirong held the crystal core and circulated her ability. But after a period of time, Jin Xirong’s expression became somewhat bad. She could not absorb the energy in the crystal nucleus, or rather, the energy in her body was already saturated. She could no longer accept the excess energy. If she forcefully absorbed it, the pain that the needle had pierced her entire body would shock her. Perhaps, her veins would rupture and then explode to death.

Jin Xirong didn’t understand what caused this. She felt that she might have reached a bottleneck. Although she hadn’t encountered it in the past, it could be because of the high level of her ability. Although she was still very uneasy, Jin Xirong didn’t ask anyone else. She subconsciously wanted to hide this. Jin Xirong wanted to cultivate again. If he really couldn’t, he could ask Ji Shitian. His character, Jin Xirong, was still at ease.

Since she wasn’t cultivating, Jin Xirong decided to take a good rest. Perhaps it was because she was too nervous recently. Recently, Jin Xirong had really expended a lot of effort because of Jin Xizhe’s team. Fortunately, everything was going in a good direction. In the next few days, as long as Jin Xirong cultivated all the meridians in her body, she would feel unbearable pain. Furthermore, she was still unable to absorb the energy in the crystal core. Although she could absorb the energy after releasing her ability, it was only at the level before releasing it. Jin Xirong did not know what to do anymore. Even an idiot knew that she was definitely abnormal now.

Originally, Jin Xirong wanted to ask Ji Shitian, but now she didn’t dare to say anything. She was afraid that she would be abandoned by everyone, so she carefully concealed her problems. Jin Xirong thought for a long time but did not find out why she had become like this. Suddenly, Jin Xirong thought of the snake that bit her. Although she wasn’t sure, it was only after the zoo mission that she couldn’t absorb the crystal core.

Jin Xirong regretted it now. She regretted that she shouldn’t put herself on Lou Xiaoluo for the sake of letting her die. However, it was hard to buy medicine for regret. The current Jin Xirong not only hated Lou Xiaoluo, but also Ji Shitian. In the future, this kind of hatred would become more and more serious with the improvement of other people’s abilities. This was also destined for the end of Jin Xirong’s life.

On the other side, Ji Shitian decided to take Lou Xiaoluo out to relax and take a trip to save her from always saying that she was disappointed in love, pitiful and listless all day long. Ji Shi Tian felt that girls were just pretentious, but who let Lou Xiao Luo be his person, so he could only pamper her, so Ji Shi Tian decided to bring Lou Xiao Luo along, just the two of them, plus two unshakeable beasts, on a walk-by-walk trip.

Lou Xiaoluo, who heard that Ji Shitian was taking her out to treat her broken heart, was not moved at all. She even felt frightened, because every time she and Ji Shitian acted alone, she was unlucky and her cannon fodder halo flickered endlessly. However, Ji Shitian ignored Lou Xiaoluo’s wishes and set out according to his plan.

Lou Xiaoluo hugged Baby Bear and Baby Bear sat on the passenger seat with Snake Bei Bei in her arms. One man and two beasts tried their best to open their eyes wide to look at Ji Shi Tian who was driving, trying to be cute, hoping to know the destination of their trip. Ji Shitian laughed as he looked at the two beasts in sync. He reached out to touch Lou Xiaoluo’s head and said slowly, “I’m a good captain. I’m not only concerned about the health of the members’ abilities, I’m also concerned about the mental health of the members. Seeing that your spirits have been depressed for a while, I’ve decided to take you on a relaxing journey.” Lou Xiaoluo looked at Ji Shitian’s small white teeth and suddenly trembled for some reason. She felt that this would not be a simple journey.

‘”Do you need me to gather my own kind? Didn’t you say that you wanted to kill a swarm of snakes two days ago? Let me think about where there are more snakes. I gave up my own kind for you. Be nice to me in the future. Don’t open your eyes and scream every day.” Snake Baby thought of the method Ji Shitian had mentioned two days ago and said very thoughtfully. He felt that Snake Baby was really a good contestant.

Lou Xiaoluo was completely unable to say anything. She looked at Ji Shitian and said, “I’m not going to kill snakes. Besides, they’re all Snake Baby’s kind. It’s not good to kill them. Why should I give Snake Baby face?” Lou Xiaoluo’s entire body exuded the aura of not killing snakes. Ji Shitian looked at Lou Xiaoluo and smiled, “Don’t be afraid. I didn’t throw you into the pile of snakes alone. Am I that kind of person?” One man and two beasts nodded at the same time.

“Huh?”

“Young Master, of course you are not that kind of person. You are all peerlessly good men who can enter the Virtue Book.” Lou Xiaoluo’s desire to survive is very strong. It’s better not to step on some thunder. “Don’t worry, the place I took you to is definitely not empty for this life. You can rest assured and look forward to it.” After Ji Shitian sold out and continued driving, Lou Xiaoluo could not find out, so she turned her attention to the two beasts.

“It’s a little inconvenient for us to keep in touch with each other like this. You can understand me, but I can’t understand Baby Bear. Young Master can’t understand Snake Baby. It’s always a substitute for messaging. How inconvenient.” Lou Xiaoluo rubbed the panda’s hair, feeling that if it was before the apocalypse, it would be something that made people envious to death. She had watched panda videos online and was often bloodshot.

‘”I don’t know, but I feel that Ji Shitian can slowly understand what I mean. I thought we had been together for a long time, but I discovered that you don’t understand Baby Bear’s meaning at all, so I ruled out this option. If there wasn’t a problem with IQ, it should have something to do with the level of both of us.”

Snake Baby looked at Lou Xiaoluo with contempt. He held the cub every day, but there was no way to communicate except eating and playing. However, the cub seemed to be fine except eating and playing. Snake Baby glared at the cub again. Lou Xiaoluo curled her lips. Her IQ was disdained by animals. She muttered in a low voice. Unfortunately, she did not dare to go back. It was the snake that was amazing. Snake Baby seemed to understand what Lou Xiaoluo was thinking, indicating that it was the snake that was really amazing.

A small theater

Jin Xirong: It’s over. My ability level can’t rise. What should I do? Back then, I was bitten by a snake, but that snake was already dead. I can’t even find a corpse. As long as I do, I’ll find a stronger snake. I heard that snake gall cures all kinds of diseases. Whether it succeeds or not, I have to try. I can’t just sit idly by and wait to die. But where can I find a stronger snake?

Di Qiu: Have you heard? I hope that the squad will issue a mission to catch snakes. Moreover, they are of a higher level. The higher the reward, the greater the reward. Why don’t we pretend to send Snake Baby over and cheat her out of some money? Since Snake Baby is so powerful, we won’t be at a disadvantage anyway. What do you say we get 30-70 points then?

Lou Xiaoluo: Why are you so bad? Young Master, did you eat short or drink short? You actually want to go out to cheat money?

Di Qiu: Didn’t I vent my anger on you? Go ahead, do it or not.

Lou Xiaoluo: Dry.

Jin Xirong: Ah, who sent that damn snake? I’m going to kill him.

Subordinate: I don’t know.

Lou Xiaoluo: What exactly did you do? I heard that Jin Xirong is going crazy?

Snake Baby: Nothing. That woman tried to dig out my snake gall. I just burned her hair. Don’t worry. I controlled my strength and didn’t hurt her face.

Lou Xiaoluo and Di Qiu (giving a thumbs-up): It’s really ferocious, but after counting the crystal cores, they still decided to hide their skills and fame.
