280 I Want to Talk to You

As Qiu Lili ran away to dress herself, Lin Qiao shouted at the lake, "Viney, come here. I want to talk to you!"

Hearing her, a few jade-white vines immediately rose from the lake and reached to Lin Qiao before wrapping around her wrist.

Lin Qiao squatted and said, "Let me ask you a question. Why did all my hair fall off when I upgraded, but Lili's grew so much longer when she upgraded?"

She glanced back at Qiu Lili's long, black, shiny hair, then turned to look at the vine on her hand.

'Em… I don't know… I can't control that… Maybe… Mama, maybe your hair will grow too when you're at her level…'

"Level?" asked Lin Qiao, "Is it about level? Not every zombie will have their hair grow crazily when reaching level-seven, right?"

'I don't know if the others are the same… Maybe only Sister Lili can grow hair… Or, maybe the others will also have their hair fall off, just like Mama…'

Lin Qiao shook her head and said, "You see, Junjun's hair didn't fall off. No one else will become bald like me, right?"

Viney stayed silent for a while, as if she was thinking hard. Then, she said, 'But Mama, your body was damaged badly. To activate your body, I needed to reform all of it.'

Lin Qiao was puzzled at first, then asked with surprise, "What? You haven't activated my body yet? But, I'm already able to talk, am I not?"

'That's because I've fixed and reformed your throat,' said Viney, 'Mama's throat wasn't damaged.'

Lin Qiao nodded and responded, "Is that so? Alright!"

'Mama, Mama,' Viney continued regretfully, 'I've used up all the energy in helping Sister Lili upgrade. I can't upgrade Mama now…'

Lin Qiao carelessly shook her head and said, "It's alright. I'll just get you more energy nuclei. You're tired. Just go take some rest."

She had felt that Viney was a little weak.

'Alright,' Viney replied obediently. Then, she unwrapped Lin Qiao's wrist and drew back into the lake.

Lin Qiao looked at the lake. The density of the energy contained in the lake water had grown much higher than before. Lin Qiao guessed that all that energy was filtered by Viney.

She turned back to look at Qiu Lili. The latter had dried her hair with her fire power, and was now fighting against those super long hair. The hair were too long, and she wasn't used to them. Now, she just didn't know how to tie her hair up.

The hair at such a length could be tied into twin tails, but that was indeed not an easy thing to do.

Lin Qiao wasn't good at hair-managing either. So, she spread her hands and said to Qiu Lili, "Maybe you should go out and ask Junjun for help. I don't know how to tie up such long hair either…"

Qiu Lili paused slightly, then looked at her helplessly while pouting and said, "Why are they so long? Why did yours fall off but mine became twice as long?"

Lin Qiao noticed that Qiu Lili's voice was even sweeter and more silvery than it used to be, unlike her own dry and unpleasant voice.

Was it really because Qiu Lili was at a higher level?

Lin Qiao held Qiu Lili's hand, then both of them flashed out of the space.

…

Liu Jun, Xie Dong, even Mengmeng had all been waiting for them to come out. Once Qiu Lili showed up, Mengmeng, who stayed on the roof, suddenly appeared on the windowsill of Liu Jun's room.

"Roar?"

'Lili?'

Seeing Qiu Lili who was now with draped hair, Mengmeng called her name with uncertainty.

Liu Jun's eyes glowed for some reason when she saw Qiu Lili's long and straight hair reaching straight to the ground, as smooth as a waterfall.

"Wow, your hair are so beautiful!"

Seeing Liu Jun's glowing eyes, Lin Qiao couldn't help but want to laugh. Liu Jun acted like a kid who had spotted some kind of interesting toy!

"Yeah, they grew longer. They are too long… Can I cut them short?" Qiu Lili said with a clear and sweet voice.

She wanted to cut her hair short. However, after seeing the look in Liu Jun's eyes, she felt that it would be wrong for her to cut her hair without the latter's permission.

"No!" As she thought, Liu Jun shouted out loud, then hurriedly ran up to her and lifted her hair. While stroking the hair, she continued, "It'll be such a shame to cut off these beautiful hair. Don't cut them, I'll tie them up for you. You can have any style you like."

Xie Dong looked at Lin Qiao confusedly, who spread her hands toward him.

Sometimes, guys just couldn't understand girls' obsession with hair.

On seeing Qiu Lili's super long hair, Liu Jun even ignored the level-seven vibe from her. Even though the latter had fully restrained her vibe on purpose, the pressure from a higher level being should still be strong for Liu Jun, as she was so close to Qiu Lili at the moment.

Mengmeng stood aside, looking at Qiu Lili. After confirming the latter's identity, she sat on the windowsill with her back to the outside, swaying her lower legs.

Lili had become further stronger than her. She wasn't able to defeat Lili before, and now, she had even smaller chance. She guessed that Lili was now able to send her flying away with a single slap.

How did Lili become so powerful? Was it because of Lin Qiao? Could she grow stronger like Lili did?

Mengmeng looked at Qiu Lili, then turned to Lin Qiao.

She had a feeling that Lin Qiao must have something to do with Qiu Lili's sudden upgrade. After all, the two of them disappeared together earlier on, and now showed up together. Once they were out, she found that Lili had become much stronger than before!

However, she didn't wonder for long, as she was soon distracted by Tong Tong, who was sleeping in the bed.

Qiu Lili said to Liu Jun, "I want them to be like before, but they are too long now…" While speaking, she wore a struggling face. Liu Jun immediately made her sit on the chair, then brought the comb and hair strings out of her room while saying, "Watch me do it. I'll teach you."

Lin Qiao glanced at Tong Tong, who was taking a nap, then turned to Mengmeng, who was gazing at him with sparkling eyes. "This is Tong Tong," she said to Mengmeng, "You can't take him away without permission like you did before! Also, you can't hurt him! Do you understand?"

She detected no evil intention from Mengmeng's eyes, but she was worried that the latter might accidentally hurt Tong Tong.

At that moment, Qiu Lili suddenly turned back to yell at Mengmeng fiercely, "I'll kill you if you dare to hurt Tong Tong."

Mengmeng looked at Qiu Lili and flinched, shaking her head quickly.

Lin Qiao smilingly watched the two of them. Qiu Lili was like Mengmeng's invincible opponent! As long as Lili was here, Lin Qiao wouldn't need to worry that Mengmeng might become unruly.

Then, Lin Qiao looked at Qiu Lili and couldn't help but feel lucky for the fact that her humanity had stayed, and that she was a kind soul. She was so powerful now! If she picked the side of evil, she would become a real disaster.

She wondered if any other zombie dominators existed in this world. There were so many zombies now, and it was possible for them to evolve into second-grade zombie kings and queens, also known as zombie dominators. Maybe zombie dominators did exist, but no one had encountered any yet.

Lin Qiao believed that there were more zombie dominators in this world. However, she didn't want to meet any of them except for Qiu Lili!
