PDLP Chapter 91 Jealousy
Chapter 91 Jealousy
The two went out together, and when they came back, one was standing while the other, soaking wet, was being dragged along.
Miao Yin threw the person on the ground, letting Tu Hao also enjoy the same treatment as Ji Yuanzhou.
Yan Shuzhou happened to be coming downstairs when he saw this scene.
He was holding an empty bowl in his hand, which was the dinner he had just delivered to Ji Yuanzhou.
"Sister, him?"
"Don't worry about him, just let him lie down tonight."
Yan Shuzhou pursed his lips, looked at Tu Hao on the ground, and hesitated to speak, especially when he saw the new collar around Tu Hao's neck.
"What's wrong?" Miao Yin asked.
"...Sister, what is his special ability? Is it very strong?"
"The ability to enhance the body, as for how strong it is... it's considered powerful among people with superpowers."
"...So, they were brought back because of a special ability? And they were even cursed."
Miao Yin looked at him closely for a while, then asked, "Xiao Zhou, are you jealous?"
Yan Shuzhou was stunned, and he visibly became flustered, his hands twisting into a pretzel behind his back as if at a loss.
Jealous?
Was he jealous?
Just like when I saw that a younger brother had been born into the family, I was no longer the only one, and the sadness in my heart was overwhelming.
"I'm sorry..." he stammered.
Miao Yin walked around him and looked at Yan Shuzhou with a curious expression as she watched his nervous movements.
I've seen so many people who want to kill her, this is the first time I've seen someone who's actually jealous of her.
She thought for a moment, then said, "It's not just them; I'll bring other people back in the future. Xiaozhou, are you unhappy?"
Yan Shuzhou shook his head slowly, but his hands clenched even tighter: "...Sister won't bring back useless people. If they are strong, it's only right to bring them back. Killing mutants would also make them more powerful, and they could get more crystal cores."
"You're right, it would be a good thing if talented and extraordinary people could be used by me, but..."
Yan Shuzhou slightly raised his eyes, waiting for her to continue.
"As you can see, these people are arrogant because they have powerful superpowers. They even tried to kill me. If it weren't for the curse I had, they probably would have rebelled. Sigh, I can't even sleep peacefully now."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shuzhou immediately became anxious: "How could they do this? My sister is perfectly fine!"
"Yes, they are all too arrogant. They will secretly plot against me to hurt me at the slightest disagreement. It's really impossible to guard against them. Xiao Zhou, what do you think we should do?" Miao Yin said with some distress.
“I can help my sister keep an eye on them! There are Nine-Tails Rabbits everywhere in the manor. I can find them no matter where they are and won’t give them a chance to harm anyone!” Yan Shuzhou said confidently, his eyes firm and serious.
Upon hearing this, Miao Yin breathed a sigh of relief as if she had solved a major problem, smiled at him, and stroked his hair.
"That's wonderful, Xiao Zhou. You really are the person I trust the most. Bringing you back was the right choice. With you here, I'm not afraid of them targeting me anymore, right?"
Yan Shuzhou nodded: "Yes, I won't let them hurt my sister."
"Good girl," Miao Yin praised.
Yan Shuzhou's heart was pounding, and his previous low mood had completely vanished.
He is different.
He was Miao Yin's only and most trusted person.
They are different from those other people.
……
Having planted Yan Shuzhou as a thorn in their side, Miao Yin went upstairs and found Ji Yuanzhou.
When she came in, Ji Yuanzhou was leaning against the headboard, looking lost and contemplating life.
When Yan Shuzhou was taking care of him, he also revealed a little bit of information about this place.
He probably understands his current situation, and...
The thing on his head.
As soon as Miao Yin arrived, he subconsciously shrank back a little, adopting a defensive posture.
"You seem to be in good spirits," she said, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
Ji Yuanzhou adjusted his glasses with trembling hands, composed himself, and said, "Let's talk."
"explain."
He coughed twice, then said, "I... I've joined your side now, so I'm considered one of your team members, right?"
"Ah."
"I can help you find supplies, and I'll also help kill mutants, but... I hope you can at least promise not to send me out to my death."
After saying that, Ji Yuanzhou stopped what he was doing and waited for her response, but she remained silent and looked at him as if she was thinking about something.
The scrutinizing gaze exerted an invisible pressure on Ji Yuanzhou, making him tremble and ponder where he had said something wrong.
Not sending him to his death is the bare minimum requirement, isn't it?
He thought about it anxiously.
Just as he was lost in thought, Miao Yin suddenly leaned closer.
Ji Yuanzhou suddenly leaned back, his head hitting the headboard, his fingers gripping the blanket tightly, like a cat that had been startled and jumped up in a panic.
"Pfft, hahahahaha..." Miao Yin was amused by his reaction.
"You weren't like this when you were being so righteous to me before. What, are you scared now?"
Thinking about what had happened before, Ji Yuanzhou's face turned pale and then red.
Anyone who has been through the wok of boiling oil several times would find it hard to remain calm when they see someone flipping the wok.
Only after Miao Yin retreated did he calm himself down and speak.
"That person just said that I might have your special abilities, that I can control my life and death, is that right?"
"More or less," Miao Yin said with a smile.
He took a deep breath. Although he had heard about it, the confirmation still filled him with uncontrollable anger and sorrow.
Faced with death, what bargaining chips did he have left?
"In that case, what exactly do you want me to do for you?"
"Do whatever I tell you to do."
"...Does that include sending them to their deaths?"
"Ji Yuanzhou, your life is in my hands now. What business is it of mine how I want to use you? So what if I want you to serve me tea and water, or feed you to the mutants? Do you think you have any room to resist?"
He closed his eyes briefly: "...I understand."
"Good that you understand. Just listen to me and you'll be just as comfortable here as you are outside."
"But if you continue to be ungrateful as before..."
Miao Yin stood up and looked up at him, her pure black pupils like a sinister viper staring at its prey.
"—You really won't be able to save your limbs."
Ji Yuanzhou tightened his grip on the blanket, and only after Miao Yin left the room did he breathe a sigh of relief, his body covered in cold sweat.
