107: Chapter 17 is actually a fool.

The root of all this trouble is that guy surnamed Huo!

Ye Qingqing looked at Ah Huang. Ah Huang's dog mouth hadn't stopped since seeing Ye Qingqing, his tongue lolling out.

His expression was one of extreme grievance.

Ye Qingqing understood Ah Huang's meaning; he was thirsty and was signaling for her to give him water!

Ye Qingqing didn't hesitate, after all, the dog had been outside for a long time, the temperature was high, and he was a fire-breathing dog.

It was normal for him to be a bit thirsty.

She took out a large basin of water from her space, placed it on the ground, and let Ah Huang gulp it down noisily.

Ah Huang couldn't hold back the moment he saw the water. He had no other thoughts now; he didn't even have time to pay attention to Huo Siyan.

Because Ah Huang had something more important to do at the moment: drink water.

Ah Huang buried his head tightly into the large basin of water.

He drank it all in one go, gulping noisily without a single pause for breath.

The speed was so fast that Ye Qingqing couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

"Ah Huang, drink slower, no one's competing with you..."

However, the moment Ye Qingqing's words fell, Kong Ziyi's voice rang out.

"I want to compete..."

Ye Qingqing frowned as she looked at Huo Siyan and the others who had just arrived.

The surrounding zombies had all been cleared by Huo Siyan. Ye Qingqing hadn't seen it earlier because Huo Siyan and the others had gone to a slightly farther place to clear out the last few zombies.

Huo Siyan's Ability was very convenient, especially when dealing with zombies.

Just throw an energy ball over, and there was no need for anyone to physically attack those zombies.

They just died one by one.

It couldn't be more convenient.

When Ye Qingqing saw Huo Siyan, a flash of shock crossed her eyes.

Because at this moment, Ye Qingqing felt that Huo Siyan seemed different; the most obvious change was the aura about him.

Ye Qingqing always felt that Huo Siyan now had a few more degrees of a sharp, cold aura.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing also felt that Huo Siyan seemed to have become a bit more handsome.

However, what was going on? Why did he seem like a completely different person after she had just been in her space for a while?

If before, when Ye Qingqing saw Huo Siyan, he had looked extremely weak,

then at this moment, Huo Siyan seemed to have returned to his peak condition.

One could even say his condition was better than his peak state.

Along with that, Ye Qingqing also noticed that the smell of blood on Huo Siyan seemed to be gone.

However, upon closer inspection...

his body was covered in a layer of sticky stuff, like a layer... a layer of mud...

Although his clothes looked tattered and torn, he didn't seem to have suffered any injuries at all.

On the contrary, Kong Ziyi beside him smelled foul.

He was also stained with some unknown liquid.

Because the temperature was high, that unknown liquid had now dried into crusty powder and granules stuck to his clothes.

And on his face too...

And it wasn't just Kong Ziyi; Lu Huan and Meng Hangfei also had it on them.

Ah Huang hadn't been this disgusted with these guys just moments ago.

But now, after drinking some water and smelling the fragrant scent on Ye Qingqing,

it was hard not to feel a bit of disgust towards these slovenly men in front of him.

"Qingqing..." Huo Siyan spoke with a hoarse voice, wanting to walk up to Ye Qingqing.

But how would Ye Qingqing give him that face? Seeing that Huo Siyan was about to walk up to her,

a frightened Ye Qingqing, holding Ah Huang's leash, took several steps back.

Huo Siyan's heart seemed to skip a beat for an instant.

Ye Qingqing swore she definitely wasn't disgusted with Huo Siyan! Hmph! Yes! Not disgusted!

"Qingqing..." Huo Siyan, still unwilling to give up, seemed completely unaware of his current state. Seeing Ye Qingqing avoid him, his entire being seemed shrouded in a dark cloud.

Lu Huan couldn't stand it anymore and directly pulled Huo Siyan back.

"Hey, boss, look at what you look like yourself. Keep your distance..."

Only then did Huo Siyan react. He looked at his own appearance.

He realized belatedly.

His face instantly couldn't hold its composure. When he looked at Ye Qingqing, his eyes held a trace of resentment, but he didn't take another step forward.

The situation from earlier when she entered her space was actually still echoing in Ye Qingqing's mind.

In her heart, she still held resentment towards Huo Siyan.

It was just that she didn't know why. The moment she came out, she saw these four in their battle-damaged state. Given the current situation, Ye Qingqing was truly somewhat unable to figure things out.

However, Ye Qingqing didn't want to bother with these guys either. The fact that she hadn't killed them now was already an act of great mercy.

Anyway, Ah Huang was here too. She could just take Ah Huang and hide in her space again. If worst came to worst, they could just wait it out.

Once the sun rose, Huo Siyan and the others would leave on their own.

After all, the sun was extremely scorching.

And the time in her space was still enough for Ye Qingqing to hold out until dawn.

Thinking this, Ye Qingqing also acted on it.

However, just as Ye Qingqing's hand reached Ah Huang's head, she suddenly felt a tingling numbness at her wrist.

"Qingqing, are you going to run away again?"

When Huo Siyan looked at Ye Qingqing, his eyes were bloodshot, crimson veins instantly filling his eye sockets.

Ye Qingqing looked at the small wisp of purple electric current on her wrist.

It circled her wrist, as if with a little force from Huo Siyan, she would be electrocuted immediately.

"Huo Siyan, what do you think you're doing!" A tingling numbness spread across Ye Qingqing's scalp.

A sliver of fear couldn't help but surface in her heart.

Because at this moment, Huo Siyan could actually use lightning?

Could it be that, like Ah Huang's Ability, he had awakened a special power?

If that was the case, then Ye Qingqing couldn't defeat Huo Siyan.

Hearing Ye Qingqing's accusatory question, Huo Siyan's handsome face tightened, his brows deeply furrowed.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say. No matter what he said, he felt Ye Qingqing would be angry.

"Qingqing, don't misunderstand. I'm just... I'm just afraid you'll disappear again..."

Ye Qingqing was scared inside. This was lightning! If she wasn't careful, her life would be in danger.

"Hah." Ye Qingqing was somewhat angered into a laugh.

It was as if Huo Siyan had suddenly awakened some enlightenment. Looking at Ye Qingqing, he immediately explained.

"Qingqing, I'm like Ah Huang now; I have special abilities. And I have one more Ability than Ah Huang. I won't hurt you, Qingqing."

"On the contrary, you'll be safer with me. You saw it yourself; I cleared all the zombies around here. As long as you travel with me, the journey will be much safer."

"Qingqing, believe me... I won't hurt you. I'm just... too scared."

Beside them, Lu Huan was so anxious his face was turning pale.

He had never imagined that Huo Siyan would turn out to be such an idiot when it came to matters of love.
