In the depths of a cave at the edge of the wilderness in a small country, Xuan Sui shifted restlessly.
"Apocalypse, Death, where are you?" Xuan Sui called out.
Immediately,
From the cracks in the cave walls,
Two wisps of black smoke emerged, swirled,
And solidified into two strange beasts.
"Apocalypse, Death are here!"
The two beasts replied in unison.
Xuan Sui opened his eyes and asked with a heavy expression,
"Do you have any news of decline and destruction?"
"My eyelids are twitching constantly,"
"I have a bad feeling about this,"
"Don't hide it from me, tell me the truth!"
Apocalypse stepped forward, his expression dejected, and said, "Reporting to Master Xuan Sui,"
"Death and I have just sensed,"
"That Decline and Destruction have been killed by that Cheng Xiao Fan!"
"Killed?"
Xuan Sui's eyes widened in disbelief,
"In today's world,"
"There is still someone who can kill my two great guardians?"
"Who exactly is this Cheng Xiao Fan?"
"Where did he get such strength?"
Death mumbled,
And said, "Master Xuan Sui, shall I go to the Lower Capital,"
"To investigate this kid's background?"
Xuan Sui nodded.
And said, "You may!"
"But—"
"Death, when you go,"
"Do not engage with that kid lightly,"
"You must find a way to lure him here!"
"I want to kill him with my own hands!"
Death nodded,
And said, "Master Xuan Sui, rest assured,"
"I always rely on my wits when I handle matters,"
"I will bring him to meet you, Master Xuan Sui!"
Xuan Sui, hearing this, smiled for the first time in a long while.
As he smiled, the pile of flesh lying on the ground,
Seemed to rise like waves and tremble.
"Death, I know you are very clever!"
"Go now, before it's light!"
"Yes, Master Xuan Sui!"
Death flickered and transformed into a stream of light,
Floating out of the cave and soaring into the sky.
As it neared the capital,
It quickly concealed its radiance, transforming into a wisp of green smoke, and descended.
"Wuuu—"
At this moment, a mournful melody drifted from below.
From a small alley, a procession of vehicles slowly emerged.
The lead vehicle carried a stretcher,
Covered with a white cloth.
Through the white cloth, Death saw a young girl lying on it.
This girl had died from a virus, and her entire body,
Was encased in a sealed plastic bag.
The green smoke that Death had transformed into, lightly landed on the vehicle.
At this moment,
The plastic bag covering the girl,
Suddenly ripped open a seam.
Death slipped through the opening and hid within the girl's body.
This family was sending the girl for cremation.
During this time in the capital of the small country,
Due to the virus, many had died.
To get cremation at the funeral home,
One had to be early.
Some, to get ahead,
Would set off at midnight.
As the vehicle reached the outskirts of the city, the white cloth on the stretcher was lifted.
The girl's upper body emerged from the plastic bag.
She cried out loudly, "Don't send me for cremation!"
"I'm not dead yet!"
"I want to go home!"
...
Cheng Xiao Fan, after showering, returned to the bedroom,
And smiled at Xiang Wanli, "It's getting late, let's sleep,"
"If we don't sleep soon, the sky will be bright!"
Xiang Wanli smiled charmingly and said, "I'm waiting for you to sleep together!"
"..." Cheng Xiao Fan was utterly speechless.
This was in the small country, but what about back home?
You couldn't possibly run with me all the way to Zhuxi Village,
And have me accompany you to sleep every night!
She was truly a peculiar beauty.
"Alright, I'm convinced!"
Cheng Xiao Fan said as he got into bed.
Xiang Wanli still said the same thing,
"Mr. Cheng, hold me while I sleep!"
Cheng Xiao Fan, with a helpless expression,
Said, "Alright, I'll hold you while you sleep!"
He reached out and pulled her into his arms,
And with a casual gesture, infused a wisp of spiritual energy into the acupoint of sleep in her brain.
When Cheng Xiao Fan withdrew his hand, he moved her to the side.
Looking at her peaceful slumber,
Cheng Xiao Fan couldn't help but shake his head and let out a bitter laugh.
Clearly, this beauty had become dependent on his spiritual energy.
Every night, he used his spiritual energy to help her fall asleep,
Not only did it allow her to sleep soundly,
But it also had a strong effect on improving her internal physiology.
Every morning,
Her entire spirit and energy would be refreshed.
This was indeed a benefit for this beauty!
With nearly two hours left until dawn,
Cheng Xiao Fan also began to rest.
...
Upon waking, the sun was already high in the sky.
When Cheng Xiao Fan got out of bed, Xiang Wanli also woke up.
"Ah, we overslept, it's already nine o'clock!"
She checked the time and said with surprise.
Cheng Xiao Fan smiled and said, "This is normal, you went to bed too late yesterday!"
"Hurry up and get up for breakfast!"
The two washed up,
And went to the dining room, where Franli had already delivered breakfast.
Yang Jigang was just coming out of the dining room,
And smiled, "Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry,"
"I was hungry early and ate ahead of you!"
"It's alright, whoever wakes up first eats first!"
Cheng Xiao Fan said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.
Cheng Xiao Fan took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Meng Xi Zi.
"Old Meng, why are you calling me so early?"
Meng Xi Zi said on the phone, "Your Excellency, I just received some news,"
"In the capital, a young girl named Ursula died from a virus infection,"
"Her family was sending her for cremation,"
"Unexpectedly, she revived halfway through!"
Cheng Xiao Fan was taken aback.
For ordinary people infected with the Apocalypse Virus, once dead,
There was absolutely no possibility of revival.
"Old Meng, is what you're saying absolutely true?"
Cheng Xiao Fan asked in disbelief.
Meng Xi Zi said, "Reporting to Your Excellency, what I've said is absolutely true."
"What I find strange is,"
"After Ursula died, she was sealed in a plastic bag,"
"And left for over three hours without a breath,"
"How is it possible for her to revive?"
"Now Ursula's revival,"
"Has become big news throughout the entire capital!"
Cheng Xiao Fan said, "Old Meng, I am very interested in this Ursula's revival,"
"I want to go and see!"
Meng Xi Zi smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I was just thinking the same thing,"
"I'll accompany you to take a look!"
Cheng Xiao Fan smiled, "Alright, then we'll go together!"
Meng Xi Zi said, "I'll immediately arrange for the Luo Lin sisters to pick you up by car,"
"We'll meet at the palace gate!"
After hanging up the phone.
Cheng Xiao Fan began to eat breakfast.
Xiang Wanli sat beside him, and she had heard Cheng Xiao Fan's conversation with Meng Xi Zi clearly.
She said, "Mr. Cheng, can I also go and see?"
Cheng Xiao Fan knew that there was nothing to do and he felt bored, so he said, "Sure, if you want to go, I'll take you!"
Xiang Wanli smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
