Chapter 32 Best Day Of One's Life Is When Everyone You Care About Is Happy
Time went by so fast that it had already been a week since she became a Phase 2 evolutionary and as time goes by, she became even stronger.
And if she is growing stronger, what more about the two flirty couple who would not leave alone a single dog like her?!
Ahem. So, they would not be left behind in the dust by her.
They too must get stronger so that in the future they could fight alongside her.
They do not wish to feel weak again when facing stronger enemies and could only helplessly stay behind her back as she protects them.
They too wish that a day would come when they will be able to stay in front of her, not hiding behind her back!
So during this past week, Guo Zhongcheng and Zhongcheng Qingren kept on going on some Mutant hunt to train themselves.
They wanted to get stronger fast!
Watching them going on a mission again and again like they never get tired, like someone injected with chicken blood, Hua Meili could only support the two.
By doing so, they could earn their keep and collect some ZC.
While on the other hand, system points also kept on coming to her like running water because of their kills and also some ZC because of them being her subordinates.
She gets 1/4 of their earnings which were supposed to be ½.
But she felt bad since it was theirs so she told XiaoXiao that she will only get 1/4 of their earnings.
But XiaoXiao will not take no for an answer since there is a rule like that and it's like a tax for her because they are her subordinates and is under her wing so she needs to collect some protection fee as what XiaoXiao said.
But still, Hua Meili tried to persuade it and said she won't take any but XiaoXiao threatened her with some System whatnot and rules and punishment.
She can only surrender and tell XiaoXiao she will only take 1/4 of the earnings and nothing more because it struck her conscience.
Well, if she had any of that.
Hua Meili sighed thinking of her runaway little XiaoXiao that had still not gone home, her baby is gone!
Gone baby gone!
But of course, she did not let the two lovebirds leave on their own.
What would happen if something went wrong and they got in danger while she was not there?!
She's not wonder woman nor superman, she also ain't have the power to teleport there and then to help them.
So, as all normal humans with common sense would do, she made Du Hexi accompany them for support.
If trouble does arise, Du Hexi will be there to save their ass.
While she, Hua Meili, and Mu Hexin stayed at home and did some sparring to increase her efficiency in Martial Arts and Swordsmanship.
She also took some of her time to practice making Talismans so she could increase her efficiency and also her Level.
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
"Xiao Mei, we're back!!" Guo Zhongcheng excitedly shouted.
Hua Meili saw Guo Zhongcheng and Zhongcheng Qingren happily entering the gate with Du Hexi while waving at her.
"My lady, I have escorted them back safe and sound."
Du Hexi gave a short bow, a smile lace on his handsome mature face.
Hua Meili also wave at them and gave a soft laugh that could pierce any men's steeled heart. That is if they were men.
Sitting on top of the plum blossom tree branch, she smiled at the two. Sitting on the branch of the plum blossom had already become her hobby.
Looking at the two's clothes, Meili even smiled with satisfaction.
Their clothes were now somehow without a speck of dirt unlike in the past when they went back home, dirty like a rag.
The last time they came back, both of their clothes were in a state of a rag and their hair was unkempt like a bird's nest.
They also had many body injuries and bruises.
At that time, Hua Meili thought that something terrible has befallen them.
But when she knew the truth, she was dumbfounded.
The reason why they looked like a beggar was that, they were climbing some buildings while escaping from hundreds of Phase 1 Mutants.
Their injuries were due to falling down a hole from the third floor from being chased by a Giant Phase 1 Mutant that they thought was a Phase 2.
The messy hair was because of not being able to live outside comfortably for 2 days straight without taking a bath since they felt unsafe and had to be on guard for 48 hours.
That's why when the two came back home, they look like homeless beggars, unlike Du Hexi who was still prim and proper without a speck of dust or any misplaced hair.
"We're back." Zhongcheng Qingren said the very moment he arrived in front of her, more like under her.
Hua Meili quickly jump down the tree and greeted the two of them.
"Ho... finally you are back safe and clean, unlike the other day when you came back with ragged clothing! Your appearance was really the best! I still hahahahah....."
Hua Meili started laughing hysterically, again when she recalled what happened to the two of them when they first went out by themselves.
They really looked funny and had been the best scene ever!
"Shut up!"
Guo Zhongcheng covered his ears not wanting to hear her laughing voice anymore, his face went bright red.
When he remembers the first time they went out and came back shorn, he could feel his face flushed from the embarrassment.
Well, what he looked like that day is really not that embarrassing since it's the Apocalypse and would be considered normal by others.
But it's Hua Meili we're talking about here!
Even though it's pretty normal, she made the matter big, and bam!
When she saw them looking so pitiful when they got home, she started laughing and teasing them that they were pretty much embarrassed remembering their pitiful state from the past.
Being teased again by her, Guo Zhingcheng really wants to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself alive.
Why is it him again?!
"Don't wanna, don't wanna."
Hua Meili stuck her tongue out playfully and started teasing him again laughing out loud.
"You meanie!"
Guo Zhongcheng pouted.
"....." Zhongcheng Qingren only looks at the two of them with a helpless expression watching their childish antics.
But even so, he could not help but smile, secretly.
Du Hexi who was also watching from the sidelines was also smiling albeit it was his usual polite smile.
Mu Hexi who stood behind them looked at the group with his usual cold yet gentle eyes.
Hua Meil continued to tease Guo Zhongcheng while running around under the peach blossom trees chasing after his running back.
The picture of this childish but happy scene was very refreshing and bright despite the end of the world.
'This is the best day of my life....'
