113: Chapter 113 Space Devouring
"You, you shouldn't spout nonsense, it has nothing to do with me!" Wang Hui glanced at Tian Zining with a guilty conscience. Seeing his clenched fists, she had no choice but to deny it to the death.
Tian Zining looked at the chestnut shell in Qi Yin's hand, then at Wang Hui's demeanor; how could he not understand?
Very good. He had gone to such great lengths to set up this plan, only to be undone by a moronic teammate.
"What exactly do you want?"
They couldn't have followed them all this way just to sightsee, right? Could it be that, like them, they were here for this batch of weapons?
Tian Zining's gaze toward Qi Yin became increasingly guarded.
However, upon hearing this, Qi Yin merely chuckled, her eyes filled with a touch of casual mockery.
"Rest assured, we aren't here for weapons. That bit of stuff you treat like treasure~"
She waved her hand dismissively, "That kind of junk? I have plenty of it; I really don't think much of it."
Tian Zining remained silent, but the team members behind him laughed.
"Hahaha, what kind of dream talk is this woman spouting? 'Don't think much of it'? Do you even have any? And you dare to look down on it?"
Qi Yin had no intention of engaging in a war of words with this person. Did they expect her to pull out the Stinger to prove it?
"As for me, I just happened to see my sister-in-law and wanted to have a word with her, just to catch up."
"Catch up?" Tian Zining looked unconvinced.
Where couldn't they catch up? Did they really have to bring people to chase them all over the mountains and plains? Who was she trying to fool?
Qi Yin's tone was relaxed, as if she had already prepared her excuse.
"Oh, that. Before the Apocalypse, I specifically prepared a big gift for my sister-in-law, but I never had the chance to give it to her. Now that we've run into each other, and with the world so vast and chaotic, who knows if we'll ever meet again? Giving it now is just right, isn't it?"
As she spoke, her gaze drifted past Tian Zining and landed on Wang Hui, who was looking shifty behind him.
Tian Zining was skeptical. He looked at Qi Yin, then snuck a glance at the expressionless Xiao Sinian, who was guarding her like a god of death, and calculated quickly in his mind.
Although Qi Yin was ruthless, it seemed she didn't actively look for trouble. The previous two times she had attacked, it was because they had been unreasonable and provoked her first.
He didn't know the background of the man beside her, but the adults always said he shouldn't be provoked lightly; he was likely not an ordinary person. They had more people, but they weren't necessarily a match for the other five. If a fight really broke out, they might be the ones to suffer.
It was just a few words and a gift; it would be better to let her finish quickly and leave.
Being at odds with these people made him feel uneasy.
"Fine... keep your word. Just catch up, and once you've given the gift, leave immediately."
Tian Zining stiffened his neck and reluctantly stepped aside, but he still watched Xiao Sinian vigilantly.
He shot a look over, and Wang Hui had no choice but to walk forward unwillingly.
What kind of thing was he? He hit her so hard before, yet why was he so afraid of that bitch Qi Yin? Trash.
Her eyes scanned Qi Yin up and down with caution, but inside, she still felt some anticipation and a sense of superiority.
This bitch still called her sister-in-law and prepared a gift for her? What could it be?
Could it be... the "Heart of the Blue Diamond" necklace she had asked her for several times before?
Hmph, at least this bitch has a conscience. If it really is the Heart of the Blue Diamond, she might be able to forgive her for hitting her earlier.
Wang Hui lifted her chin, her tone carrying her habitual pickiness.
"What is it? Being all mysterious. Let me tell you, I won't look at just any ordinary thing."
Qi Yin still wore that inscrutable faint smile on her face and did not satisfy Wang Hui's wish by taking anything out.
Wang Hui, oh Wang Hui, you are at death's door, yet you are still so greedy for petty gains?
She stepped forward and reached out very naturally, gently patting Wang Hui on the shoulder. The gesture looked very affectionate, just like a normal interaction between sisters.
"Good sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry?"
The moment her hand touched Wang Hui's body, she called out to Xiao Yu in her consciousness.
"Xiao Yu, do it."
Xiao Yu had been eager to try out the space it had detected earlier, and at this moment, it was even more ready to go.
"Alright, Master, just watch."
Wang Hui only felt a slight chill where Qi Yin had patted her, and then a very slight, uncontrollable shiver ran through her whole body.
It felt as if something was being extracted from her body.
But it was very brief, so brief that she thought it was caused by the cool wind blowing from the mountain pass.
She subconsciously shrank her neck and looked at Qi Yin, puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Qi Yin clearly perceived a very weak but real fluctuation of Spatial Ability flowing through her palm, being swallowed, stripped, and integrated by the jade pendant space.
Closing her eyes, a small empty corner of the space was partitioned off by Xiao Yu, and the super weapon they had seen earlier became a part of the space, completely intact.
Success!
The curve of Qi Yin's lips deepened slightly as she withdrew her hand.
Thinking of something, she leaned in one step closer, almost against Wang Hui's ear, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"As for the gift... I've already delivered it. Good sister-in-law, you must... enjoy it well."
Wang Hui's ear felt itchy from the warm breath she transmitted, and since she didn't see any tangible item in her hand, she only heard a bunch of inexplicable words.
She immediately felt like she had been played, shoved Qi Yin away, and flew into a rage out of humiliation.
"Are you crazy? Being mysterious, what kind of crappy gift, so cheap and shabby."
She subconsciously wanted to take out the gun she had just obtained from her space and shoot this bitch directly to see if she would dare to pull any more tricks.
The next instant, her movement froze.
Hmm? Why was there no reaction?
Could it be because she was too angry? Wang Hui's face turned pale, and she was a little panicked.
However, she assumed it was because of her emotional fluctuations and that it would naturally get better later.
"Hmph, I can't be bothered to talk to you. Let's go."
Wang Hui stomped her feet in anger, glared fiercely at Qi Yin, turned around, and tugged at Tian Zining, only to be dodged by him.
Good, now she was even angrier.
"Why aren't you leaving yet? This woman is a lunatic; why are you still chatting if we're not leaving?"
Tian Zining thought she was inexplicable, but Qi Yin had indeed not attacked, and the weapons were still in their hands.
The man beside her had an increasingly fierce aura; for now, he just wanted to leave this place of trouble.
"Retreat!"
At the command, the group disappeared into the mountain forest in a grand procession.
Qi Yin watched their panicked backs, especially Wang Hui's exasperated and oblivious appearance, and felt very pleased.
It's just that she didn't know how the people behind her would punish her after she lost her space and weapons.
However, what did that have to do with her?
She turned around and met Xiao Sinian's questioning gaze.
Xiao Sinian: "Did it work?"
Although he didn't know the specific method Qi Yin had mentioned to retrieve the super weapon, seeing her smug little expression, it seemed she had succeeded.
Qi Yin raised her eyebrows slightly with a smile and blinked.
"Of course. This could also be considered a big gift for Wang Hui."
"Appear!"
With a thought, a silver-gleaming alloy mechanical crossbow appeared in her hand.
Xiao Sinian: "666!"
Qi Yin's mysterious space was becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
