Chapter 146: Should I agree, or agree? (Please keep reading)

Xiao Yun's words sparked a discussion among the crowd.

A group of people gathered around, chattering and asking about the relationship between Ke Xueying and Lu Zheng.

Ke Xueying glared at everyone, annoyed.

"If I were already his woman, would I be so heavily injured?"

"He probably just happened to see me, thought I looked decent, and told someone to look after me, that's all."

"You still want to sell me off for wealth and status? Stop dreaming!"

"Quickly gather everyone; we're going to the Overlord Alliance's stronghold to take over their assets before someone else steals them."

Hearing about taking over assets, everyone's mood improved even more.

They were also saving money, preparing to move to the Safe Zone above and live a respectable life.

Everyone had long grown tired of this dark, sunless existence in the black mist.

They were originally short on some assets, but now, after taking over the Overlord Alliance's possessions, perhaps everyone could move up there.

Everyone quickly got busy.

Ke Xueying watched them leave, then began to ponder about Lu Zheng.

He had already helped her twice.

If he were to appear and ask her to follow him, would she agree, or agree, or agree?

She truly couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

As a career-driven strong woman, she was very enthusiastic about developing her career.

Companies of the old era were a thing of the past.

Her current career was the Fire Glazed Guild.

Now, an opportunity to make her career soar was before her, coupled with his two acts of kindness towards her.

If he were to make such a request, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

However, the initiative was still in his hands; she couldn't bring herself to offer herself up proactively.

She could only wait for him to appear.

Lu Zheng was truly busy recently.

Not to mention the dance competition tonight; as the sole judge, he had to attend.

Even if he had free time now, he would still let the authorities handle it.

Such minor matters really didn't require him to personally make a trip.

Lu Zheng was busy harvesting crystals from bugs and Night Demons, which required him to do it personally.

After all, things like the Beast Taming Ring could only be handled by him to ensure peace of mind.

In just one afternoon, his bug army expanded to a scale of 100,000.

100,000, that was no small number.

Because the bugs he controlled were all at least Tier 2.

100,000 Tier 2 or higher bugs meant he could produce at least 500,000 Tier 2 crystals daily.

This was only the number he controlled in one afternoon.

Tomorrow, he would continue to expand, expecting to control at least a million bugs, thereby ensuring a stable rate of return.

After a busy afternoon, Lu Zheng looked at the beaming Xia Qingmei and asked:

"It's time for dinner. Are you coming with me to have a big meal on the cruise ship, or going back to eat with your brother?"

Hearing 'big meal,' Xia Qingmei's eyes lit up.

Before the apocalypse, she had a decent net worth and ate well every day.

Now, only occasionally when Xia Qixuan returned from reporting at Jinge Building could he bring back some good food, but that was limited.

Xia Qingmei did miss those delicious flavors a bit.

Following Lu Zheng to pick up overlooked items earlier, she got a lot of crystals, which put her in a good mood.

She immediately said offhandedly:

"Of course, a big meal."

After a pause, she looked at Lu Zheng warily again.

"After we eat, you have to send me back to Xinyuan Base."

Lu Zheng waved his hand, saying:

"You can use the teleportation array disc to go back yourself then; I can't be bothered with you."

Seeing this, Xia Qingmei couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Alright, alright, who told you you're the boss!"

"Boss, are we coming again tomorrow?"

Lu Zheng nodded, saying:

"This number is far from enough; I still need to do this for four or five more days."

"Let's go."

With that, Lu Zheng directly put Xia Qingmei into a seal card. When she reappeared, she found herself in a brightly lit hall.

"Shanshan, take her to shower and change clothes; she's too dirty."

By the time Xia Qingmei recovered, she was already being pulled by the wrist by Yun Yishan.

"Come on, sister, I'll take you to pick out clothes first."

Not long after, Xia Qingmei felt as if she was hallucinating.

Because Yun Yishan led her to the cruise ship's shopping district, where there were dazzling arrays of shops, with all kinds of clothes, jewelry, snacks, drinks, and so on, bustling just like before the apocalypse.

The only difference was that there were many shop assistants here, each shop having two, but there were few people on the streets.

Some people who were shopping saw Yun Yishan and proactively said:

"Shanshan, is this a new sister? Introduce her."

Xia Qingmei immediately realized that the women shopping here were all Lu Zheng's women.

She quickly waved her hand, saying:

"I'm not; I'm just Mr. Lu's follower."

"My brother is Mr. Lu's subordinate. I'm Xia Qingmei, nice to meet you all."

Su Baitao smiled and stepped forward, taking her arm.

"I understand."

"Not yet."

"I'm Su Baitao, twenty years old this year. Should I call you older sister?"

Xia Qingmei smiled, saying:

"I'm already twenty-four, you're the younger sister."

"Oh! Sister Xia looks so young! Just like an eighteen-year-old girl."

Su Baitao praised.

Although she knew it was a polite remark, Xia Qingmei still felt joy inside.

After all, who doesn't want to hear a top beauty praise them as also being a great beauty?

This was affirmation from a peer.

"Not at all! You all look like you're eighteen."

"Your skin is so fair! It even has the rosy glow of a baby, soft and tender. It seems the living conditions here are indeed very good."

Yan Chenchen, who was beside them, said:

"Hello, Sister Xia, I'm Yan Chenchen."

"Our skin isn't just from eating delicious food, although we do eat a lot of various delicious things every day."

"But this kind of skin is because we ate the Strengthening Pill given by our husband."

"Sister Xia, don't worry, our husband will give it to you sooner or later."

Hearing this, Xia Qingmei sighed helplessly.

"I really am just the boss's little follower."

Su Baitao laughed, saying:

"Okay, you're a little follower."

"But we're all sisters. Come on, Sister Xia, your figure is only slightly less good than mine; I'll pick out clothes for you."

With that, several people went shopping together.

Along the way, they ate many small desserts and snacks, and encountered Qiao Sijia, Pang Ruoyu, Bai Zhihui, Peng Huilan, Yu Bingxia, Zheng Qianqian, and a host of other beauties.

Seeing so many top beauties walk by made Xia Qingmei feel like she had 'stumbled into a harem.'

But, it must be said, the living conditions here were truly excellent.

The various small snacks had already made her mouth experience long-lost deliciousness.

She couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming grand meal even more.

Seeing Su Baitao strike a dance pose after changing clothes, Xia Qingmei couldn't help but ask curiously:

"You can dance too?"

Su Baitao smiled, saying:

"I just learned a few days ago."

"Tonight there's a dance competition among us sisters, and our husband is the judge. The winning woman will receive a large number of rewards."

"If you're free tonight, you can also come and watch; it's a feast for the eyes!"
