Lin Qiao glanced at the fluffy gray rabbit, then raised her head to look at Liu Jun and say to her, "That can't be true, can it?"
Liu Jun shrugged and replied, "I'm just guessing."
Lin Qiao glanced at the rabbit again, then picked it up.
At that point, Tong Tong came to her side and raised his head to look at her while saying, "I want to hold the rabbit."
Lin Qiao glanced at him, then bent over and put the rabbit in his arms. However, the rabbit didn't seem to like him, as it started struggling once it was put in his arms. Tong Tong couldn't hold it tight, so he soon let it jump out of his arms.
Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then closed her eyes to look outside. After that, she flashed out.
She turned invisible and stood between Wu Chengyue's living room and dining room, which was exactly where she had returned Ling Ling to Wu Chengyue. She sniffed at the air and found that Wu Chengyue and the little one were both upstairs. So, she turned and walked to the stairs, then glanced back at the people who were having a meal in the dining room.
Next, she re-entered her space, picked up the rabbit which was being chased around by Tong Tong, and flashed back out.
She put the gray ball of fur on the stairs, then turned and left Wu Chengyue's place, heading to where Lin Feng and the others stayed.
After he got Wu Yueling dressed, Wu Chengyue saw the large fluffy ball on the stairs while carrying his daughter down.
"Eh? What is this…"
Hearing Wu Chengyue's voice, Wu Yueling turned back and took a look. She paused slightly at first, but then quickly recognized the rabbit. After that, she reached her hands out and leaned toward the rabbit.
Her face wasn't showing any expression, but her reaction and sparkling eyes were telling Wu Chengyue that she wanted that ball of fur.
"Do you know what it is?"
Once Wu Chengyue said that, that ball of fur moved slightly, then turned around, looking at Wu Yueling with long lopped ears.
"Ugh, isn't this the rabbit that we saw the last time? Eh, why is it a little like that female zombie's rabbit?"
Wu Chengyue gave it a closer look and recognized it as a rabbit, a familiar one. That was just that rabbit which Ling Ling had in her arms when she came out of that female zombie's space back in Hangzhou.
Back then, Wu Chengyue didn't pay much attention to the rabbit and only gave it a quick glance, as he was focusing on his daughter. But now, he looked at it carefully and felt that it seemed very much like the rabbit which belonged to the female zombie who had suffered a thunder strike of hers.
While speaking, he put Wu Yueling down, who rushed at that ball of fur once she got on her feet. At the same time, the rabbit even hopped toward her.
She happily scooped up the rabbit, then followed Wu Chengyue downstairs.
"Ling Ling, you won't be able to eat while holding it. Why don't you put it on the chair next to you?" As Wu Chengyue sat on a chair, everyone else curiously looked at the rabbit in her arms. Wu Chengyue put an empty chair beside her while talking to her.
"Eh? Isn't this the rabbit in Miss. Lu's space? Why is it here?" said Lin Feng with surprise.
After watching his daughter obediently put the rabbit on the empty chair, Wu Chengyue said, "Eh, we saw it just now on the stairs when we were getting down. It's her rabbit, isn't it? Why did she leave it for Ling Ling then? Ling Ling seems to like the rabbit very much though."
"I've seen this rabbit in her space," said Lin Feng, "I think it was living quite a life in there."
Wu Chengyue sat beside Wu Yueling, then took over her small bowl from Meng Yue's hands, and put some food into it for her to eat.
Wu Yueling fed herself with a fork and a pair of chopsticks while looking at the rabbit.
"I have one question that only came to me after I saw this rabbit. Meng Yue, have you seen this rabbit before?" said Wu Chengyue abruptly. Afterward, he turned to look at Meng Yue, who was sitting in front of the rabbit.
Meng Yue spent a while staring at the rabbit with a frown, then replied, "Have I ever seen it? I don't remember."
"Two months ago," Wu Chengyue reminded her, "Ling Ling was kidnapped by that woman. We found her in a farm, inside an orchard. Back then, Ling Ling came out with a rabbit in her arms. The rabbit was smaller at that time. Think about it."
Hearing his words, Meng Yue was puzzled at first, then had her eyes glowed. She nodded and responded, "Ah, yes! There was with a rabbit back then, and Ling Ling was reluctant to part with it."
After saying that, she started observing that fluffy gray rabbit.
"It does look a little like that rabbit."
Wu Chengyue turned to Yuan Tianxing and the other two, who were both confused at that moment, then asked Lin Feng, "May I ask you something? That lady we saw just now, she isn't human, is she?"
Yuan Tianxing, Lin Feng, Xiao Yunlong, and Meng Yue were all stunned.
Yuan Tianxing and the other two knew about the truth, but Meng Yue wasn't prepared for that. So, she gazed at Wu Chengyue in shock.
She was also thinking about that female zombie, but didn't think that Wu Chengyue would say it out loud right in front of the two guests.
Seeing the surprised look on the faces of Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing, Wu Chengyue gave a faint smile and said, "No wonder she has been wearing those sunglasses, and her voice is hoarse and dry. Back then, I felt that she wasn't like a zombie at all except for her appearance. And now, I'm surprised to find that she's actually able to talk. It has only been two months, but she evolved so quickly."
Hearing that, Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng were surprised as well, "Eh? Have you met before?"
Xiao Yunlong recalled that female zombie as well. "Where are her hair?" he asked abruptly, "Did she cut her hair? Ah, I know, she cut her hair because you turned her hair into an afro, which was quite ugly."
Hearing what Xiao Yunlong said, Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing immediately turned to Wu Chengyue with a weird look, then glanced at each other. From each other's eyes, they learned that they were now sharing the same opinion.
'There's a story!'
Wu Chengyue looked at them with curiosity and said smilingly, "So it is her. I didn't think that she would be with you. Aren't you afraid?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "We were a little frightened at first indeed, but she saved all of us. It is really weird when a zombie saves your life, but we gradually were no longer afraid of her."
"She doesn't scare us because we believe that she won't hurt us. She's powerful though. I guess that except for you, no one in this room is a match for her," Yuan Tianxing nodded and said. Then, he glanced at Wu Chengyue, implying that he should have a chance of winning against Lin Qiao.
At that moment, Xiao Yunlong said two words, "He lost…" After saying that, he silently glanced at Wu Chengyue. Without using his power, he failed to take off that female zombie's hat. On the contrary, he let her win, and rudely bit her thigh.
Wu Chengyue felt that he was despised for some reason…
"… What?" Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing didn't manage to understand Xiao Yunlong's words immediately.
