Chapter 26 The Novel Advances A Step Ahead Of Time!

"Let's stop for today and get some rest. We should continue tomorrow."

Hua Meili clapped her hand together, she was beaming from ear to ear as she look for a place to stay.

While on the other hand, Guo Zhongcheng and Zhongcheng Qingren were panting and gasping for air greedily as they try to steady their shaking knees.

The fight that they had a few moments ago was truly intense and they were gasping for air greedily to put air in their burning lungs that was out of air.

"Come on guys!" Hua Meili called out to the two who were left behind.

"W-Wat a minute."

Guo Zhongcheng and Zhongcheng Qingren looked as if their legs were about to give up.

Looking at her leaving back, they gritted their teeth and help each other to walk and keep up with her.

Hua Meili watches the two of them from the corner of her eye.

Seeing them struggle, she remembered back to the days of her hell training too.

'Seeing others suffer makes my heart lighter and the sufferings I have suffered disappear and eased in my mind.'

The group chose an empty house to rest for the night, empty of humans and Mutants.

The group had a sumptuous meal to recharge the carbohydrates and proteins they used up that day, in short for energy.

After eating, the group then retired one by one to their own room.

'Oh, my points increased!'

While looking over her Status Menu, she could not help but look at the part where the Subordinates were listed.

Hua Meili still did not sleep and instead look at her System Menu to check the progress of her ZP for that day and also, she checks her subordinate list on the way.

What she saw made her smile in happiness.

'Heh... Guo Zhongcheng's loyalty to me increased to 92 and Zhongcheng Qingren is to 85. It's lower in 7 behind Guo Zhongcheng.'

Maybe because he is much more loyal to Guo Zhongcheng than to me since he is his love that's why his loyalty to me, for now, is not that great, but 85 is still considered big considering his personality.

'Oh well, the road is long we don't know what will happen in the future....'

Before sleeping, Hua Meili practiced making Talismans before getting some sleep.

The night was supposed to be quiet and peaceful as she succumbed to her sleep and wonder about her dreamland but when midnight came, a loud noise could be heard across the street from where the group is staying at.

Hua Meili who was at the peak of Phase 1 had her senses sharpened and quickly woke up. She silently looks out of the window and surveyed her surroundings.

"Where was that noise coming from?" Hua Meili thought.

*Bang!*

The loud noise sounded out again but Hua Meili could still not see where the noise was coming from and she could feel her heart beating loudly knowing that the enemy is well hidden in the dark.

"Hexi." Hua Meili called.

"At your command, Miss Meili."

A butler in black appeared out from the shadows on his knees beside Hua Meili as he looks at her with his usual reverent look, like he is looking at his God.

"Go check out that noise, if it's a Mutant then kill it."

Hua Meili's usually gentle and warm eyes turned cold as a dangerous glint appeared from it. She coldly looked at the thing in the darkness.

"If it's a human that wanted to harm us…. kill it." Hua Meili said without a hint of pity.

Her words were dangerously vicious and sharp stabbing anyone who got close.

If the two were here and saw her, they would not be able to recognize the current her right now.

The way she looks and her intimidating aura was different from the usually gentle and playful Hua Meili they get along with every day.

Just one look and they will know just how deadly dangerous she was.

Is this really her true colors?

"As you wish, my lady."

Du Hexi bowed respectfully towards Hua Meili before he disappeared from her sight.

After he disappeared, loud noises echoed from outside.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Boogsshh!*

Several noises came from the dark alley where Hua Meili was keeping her eye, she did not even look away for a second.

She was not afraid that what was hidden in the dark would come out and harm her because she knew whatever it was, it would not be able to harm her.

The noises then stopped after several minutes and a butler in black arrived in the room carrying the corpse of some hideous monster.

"Miss Meili, it seems that this monster is the one causing the ruckus outside. It was devouring two humans, one male, and one female when I arrive in the dark alley across the street. This "thing" was not really that strong but it was just too good at evading my attacks. I sincerely apologize for being such an incompetent butler and making Miss Meili wait for too long. This servant is truly incompetent." Du Hexi bowed his head in shame.

"Lift your head up. Hexi you do not need to apologize."

Hua Meili waved her hand as a sign for Du Hexi to lift his head. She really does not care that it took him too long.

As long as he accomplished the task she had given him, all is fine.

"Miss Meili, is truly a magnanimous person." Du Hexi sincerely said but he looked more like he was flattering her if others heard him.

Studying the corpse of the hideous monster, Hua Meili could not help but gasp in surprise when she recognized it.

"This is a licker-type monster in the novel, why is it here? Wasn't it supposed to appear in the later parts of the novel? Why is it here so early?"

Hua Meili bit her lips in worry as she looked at the corpse that resemble of that a giant grotesque lizard that had a disfigured body of a human but had a long tongue and skin like a lizard.

Hua Meili was truly curious about the corpse but sleep won over her curiosity feeling the stress that had accumulated during these past few days piling up and pressuring her mind and body to rest.

"Hexi, disposed of it. I'll go back to sleep now."

Hua Meili gave her last order and yawned.

Turning back, she fell back on the bed exhausted.

Covering herself with the quilt, she fell asleep.

Du Hexi's red eyes stared at Hua Meili's figure for a while before turning back and disappearing along with the corpse he had brought in.

"Good night, my lady."
