Chapter 37 

THANK YOU FOR MY KO-FI SUPPORTERS! I APPRECIATE IT!

“By the way, your sister is still in another villa. The one she’s in now is empty, and everyone, including your sister, is hungry and thirsty. I don’t mind, but don’t you care about your sister anymore?”

Qi Yu really wanted to say that he didn’t care, but Duan Qiufeng…

“Don’t forget, before your grandparents passed away, they entrusted you to take care of your sister. You promised to do it well. So why are you giving up on your sister now because of me?”

Qi Yu replied, “She’s not my sister anymore when she cooperates with you and tries to starve me to death!”

Duan Qiufeng exclaimed, “Hey, don’t be so angry. She treats you well. The reason she did that was completely because I deceived her. She’s just too gentle and easy to fool. That’s why I like such a foolish, naive, and beautiful woman. After getting tired of playing with her, it won’t be difficult to dump her.”

Qi Yu looked at Duan Qiufeng with surprise. His nonchalant attitude and disdainful expression were incredibly genuine, as if he were a scumbag who manipulated both siblings and was indiscriminate in his relationships.

He might have believed what he said, but now he wasn’t just an ordinary person, but a variant beastman. So… his ability to regulate his emotions had become stronger.

He took a deep breath and said, “Whether what you said is true or not, it doesn’t matter. From now on, I have nothing to do with both of you. Because she’s my sister, I won’t seek revenge on her, but as for you…”

Duan Qiufeng raised an eyebrow, as if to say, “What can someone like you do?”

Qi Yu retorted, “Don’t underestimate me. Anyway, the time hasn’t come yet. When the time is right, I will show you how terrifying my revenge can be.”

Duan Qiufeng replied, “Alright, I’ll wait then. I’m really looking forward to it, A Yu. I wonder how you’ll deal with me. Oh, by the way, if it’s possible, would you accompany me to the neighboring villa? Consider it a chance for you to experience the scenario of killing me.”

Qi Yu gave him a cold glance and without saying a word, turned and went back inside, slamming the door shut.

Qin Jiulin and Liu Zhongyuan poked their heads out from the kitchen. “What happened?”

Qi Yu walked to the doorway of the kitchen, infuriated, and said, “Duan Qiufeng came. He spewed some nonsense and it really got on my nerves. I’ll definitely make him pay!”

Qin Jiulin said, “Well, with your current strength and future potential, it’s really simple to deal with Duan Qiufeng. Oh, by the way, clean up the leftover prey in the bathroom now and come to the kitchen to help later.”

Qi Yu snapped back to reality and said, “Alright. Oh, by the way, he asked me to accompany him to the neighboring villa earlier. I was too angry to think about it, but now I’m wondering if he wants to use us as bait. What if the things that attacked them yesterday are still there?”

Qin Jiulin said, “So he’s afraid and came here to confirm the situation.”

Qi Yu said, “To confirm the situation… It seems like he was sent to collect the supplies left in the neighboring villa. If I had known, I would have brought them back.”

Qin Jiulin said, “We don’t need those useless things.”

Qi Yu considered it and replied, “Bringing them back would just take up space, and we would end up throwing them away anyway. Let’s forget about it.”

Qin Jiulin said, “By the way, I heard that person talking about your sister. What do you think?”

Qi Yu’s thoughts drifted to Qi Jinglan, and he replied absentmindedly, “I… Well, I won’t give them the chance to harm me again. Duan Qiufeng won’t let her off easily.”

Qin Jiulin said, “So your attitude towards your sister is to not care?”

Qi Yu said, “Considering she’s my sister, I’ll… let her suffer the consequences of her own actions.”

Qin Jiulin said, “That’s good. I was afraid you would forgive them and willingly serve them, taking care of them with your identity and power as a variant beastman.”

Qi Yu said, “No way! I’m not a masochist. I really enjoy my life now!”

Qin Jiulin said, “It’s good that you know. Now go and get busy. We have a lot of prey today, so we need to make the most of our time.”

Duan Qiufeng left Qin Jiulin’s iron gate and walked towards the neighboring villa they used to live in. From the outside, everything seemed fine, but who knew if that thing was still inside.

He had just gone to Qin Jiulin’s place to gather information, but found nothing. Not only that, he also encountered Qi Yu… and their relationship was truly irreparable.

Speaking of which, if it were him, if someone wanted to starve him to death, he would have immediately gone to find that person after miraculously surviving and killed them. But Qi Yu didn’t lay a hand on him at that time.

However, he only wondered for a moment. After all, Qi Yu’s small frame was no match for him, and he didn’t want to ask Qin Jiulin and his friends to fight him. So, he could only satisfy himself with words.

Duan Qiufeng looked at the villa and waited for a while. Then he saw Wang Boming and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he didn’t come alone today, but had someone accompanying him.

Wang Boming saw him and asked, “Why are you alone?”

Duan Qiufeng replied, “Well, I just went to Qin Jiulin’s place, but instead of talking to me, Qi Yu came out. His attitude wasn’t great, so I don’t think they’ll be willing to help.”

Wang Boming paused for a moment and said, “So he’s still alive, huh? Well, let’s forget about it then. We’ll go in by ourselves. It should be safe inside. I didn’t feel any danger.”

Duan Qiufeng nodded and said, “Okay, Wang Ge.”

If Wang Boming said there was no danger, then there really wasn’t any danger. Without waiting for Duan Qiufeng, he went in first. Duan Qiufeng followed behind. He had originally planned to walk slower and let Wang Boming go ahead, but now it seemed unnecessary to walk too slowly at his pace.

The two entered the house and searched around. They didn’t find any danger, so they relaxed. Wang Boming ignored the leftover carcasses they saw upstairs and downstairs and tried his best to ignore the strong smell of blood. They started to tidy up and collect the things that were still usable and urgently needed.

They went back once with the items, and on the second trip, they brought Zhang Liao, Zhang Wei, and Lin Yuzhe. Only two women were left in the villa.

Fu Jingjing saw that Qi Jinglan and Duan Qiufeng were not resting, but instead were organizing the things they had brought back. They would wait for their second and third trips before working together to clean up.

Now there were only a few of them left, and as long as they could still move, they couldn’t be lazy. Fu Jingjing certainly didn’t want to stay with Qi Jinglan, but now there was no other option.

Qi Jinglan took the initiative to say, “Should we put this thing here for now?”

Fu Jingjing glanced at her and replied, “Whatever you want.”

Qi Jinglan asked again, “And what about this? Should we put it in this corner?”

Fu Jingjing replied, “Didn’t you help out in the kitchen before? Or did you forget so quickly?”

Qi Jinglan felt a bit awkward. “Don’t be angry. I just wanted to have a good chat with you.”

Fu Jingjing asked, “What do we have to talk about?”

Qi Jinglan replied, “Now it’s just the two of us women left. I think it’s better to talk more. And most of the time, it’s safer for two people to stay in one room than for one person alone, right?”

Suddenly, Fu Jingjing remembered how she had instinctively pushed Zhou Yiyi away when they were running away. She realized that she wasn’t exactly a good person now. Since that was the case, then…

Her gaze fell on Qi Jinglan, and she might not have even realized how cold and indifferent her eyes were, making Qi Jinglan feel a bit uneasy.

Fortunately, Fu Jingjing only looked at her for a moment and said, “You’re right. All those things from before are small issues now. We should help each other.”

Qi Jinglan smiled with relief. “Yes, there haven’t been any conflicts. We shouldn’t make things too tense. It will be less of a burden for Wang Ge and Lin Ge later.”

Fu Jingjing said, “But… don’t you hate me? If it weren’t for me constantly bothering you, you wouldn’t have been forced to send your brother away.”

Qi Jinglan blinked. “Well… there was no other choice…”

Fu Jingjing continued, “That’s true. Your relationship with your brother wasn’t good, and you have a certain relationship with Duan Qiufeng, right?”

She smiled sarcastically, “If your brother had been around, you and Duan Qiufeng definitely wouldn’t be able to be together. So you had to find a way…”

“Although my actions at the time were impulsive, they actually provided a great opportunity for the two of you. If you think about it, you should be grateful to me for being able to be together now.”

Qi Jinglan’s face looked unpleasant, so she didn’t look in Fu Jingjing’s direction. Instead, she slowly started tidying up the things in front of her.

Fu Jingjing didn’t hear a response from Qi Jinglan for a while, so she continued with a smile, “Oh, look at me. I’m just that kind of person, straightforward and unfiltered. I’m really sorry.”

It was only at this moment that Qi Jinglan spoke, “It’s fine. It’s the truth.”

She knew that everyone knew about her relationship with Duan Qiufeng now, or rather, everyone knew everything. Whether they suspected that she was following the opportunity or did it intentionally to drive away Qi Yu didn’t matter anymore. After all, he had already been sent away. Could they really speak up for someone who had already been driven away?

They took some time to clean up the new villa, making it livable. Wang Boming and Lin Yuzhe had separate rooms on the second floor, while Qi Jinglan and Fu Jingjing chose to stay in the same room. It was a bit strange for Duan Qiufeng, when did their relationship improve?

In that case, wouldn’t it be difficult to be intimate at night?

But it’s okay, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wei are sharing a room, and Duan Qiufeng is alone in another room. He can’t go to find Qi Jinglan, but she can come to find him!

Wang Boming sighed, “We’ve all had a tiring day. Let’s just grab something to eat and rest well. We can discuss anything tomorrow.”
