“Alright Xuer, stop it! We’re here to make trades. Don’t cause trouble.” The man said to Bai Xuer and held her hand, prepared to bring her to the side. However, Bai Xuer swatted his hand away as she stared at Lin Qiao, who was walking away. Suddenly, she turned to the man and glared at him, “Why? Do you still like her? You were only one of those men that she made use of. She sleeps with everyone. Are you still not over her?”

Apart from hatred, a strong jealousy could also be detected from her words. Her pretty face was even twisted right now as she popped her eyes so hard that her eyeballs seemed ready to fall out of her eye sockets.

Clap! On hearing her words, the man raised a hand and slapped her face violently. Then, he said with a deep, vicious voice, “Shut up! Do you consider yourself better than her? She did what she did openly. What about you?”

Suffering that slap, Bai Xuer sensed pain and numbness from her cheek and heard a buzzing noise from her ear. She was stunned, even looking a little confused. Then, she heard the man’s voice and shivered as she raised her eyes and looked at him with fear. She moved her lips slightly, but didn’t dare to say anything else.

The man gave a glance at Lin Qiao’s back, then coldly looked at Bai Xuer. After that, he turned and walked toward the other side. Meanwhile, Lin Qiao heard the slap and what the man said, wearing a meaningful look on her face.

“Find out who they are after we get home,” she turned and said to Duan Juan with a low voice.

“Yes, ma’am! Eh?” Shen Yujen said with surprise, “I think I know… But Chief, do you really not remember her?”

“What? Do you know who she is?” Both Lin Qiao and Duan Juan turned to her.

“That woman’s name is Bai Xuer, and the man is Ding Biao. Ding Biao is a level-five fire-power possessor, and THEY are from a medium-sized hunters group that has about three-hundred members. Ding Biao is one of the vice leaders of the group. I think… Bai Xuer was in a very bad relationship with you before. You used to bully her… Eh, I mean, you used to cause her trouble!”

Shen Yujen somehow felt awkward saying the last few words. Back then, Her Chief was evil indeed! Of course, she had no idea that Lu Tianyu’s body now belonged to Lin Qiao. She thought it was still Lu Tianyu, just that the woman had become a nice person.

Lin Qiao’s interest was instantly aroused, and she said while walking, “I have a very short memory, so I might have forgotten them. Tell me more. I might be able to remember something.”

On the side, Duan Juan also looked at Shen Yujen with curiosity.

“I don’t know everything,” said Shen Yujen, “But, I do know a little about her. Didn’t you two join Sea City Base together? You really do have a short memory. I heard that you two arrived at the base together. I don’t know what happened between you two before you joined this base, but I’ve seen both of you a few times in the base. You were mean to her, basically every time you saw her in a market… Back then, she was weak, and not as pretty as you are. Her background wasn’t as strong as yours either. So, all she could do was to look at you with hatred while suffering your… um, insults.”

Lin Qiao put her fingers on her chin and started to think. Based on Shen Yujen’s words, she did find something from Lu Tianyu’s memory.

Bai Xuer and Lu Tianyu were from the same college, the former being a grade higher. After the apocalypse, the two of them ran out of the school together and went through a difficult, long journey to the base. Not many girls were in the group. Back then, most of the survivors were commoners with no fighting capacities.

As same as Lu Tianyu, Bai Xuer had no skills, and was very afraid of death. She was as selfish as Lu Tianyu. She was a pretty girl, but Lu Tianyu was much sexier than her.

At first, people treated them in the same way, as they both relied on men for survival. Lu Tianyu was beautiful and super-hot, so the boys gradually started to treat her better than Bai Xuer.

The latter obviously found it unfair. They did the same thing, but why did people treat them differently?

Soon, they met Ding Biao and his team on the way. At that time, Ding Biao was a level-three superpower possessor, and the strongest one in the team. In order to survive, Lu Tianyu soon laid her eyes on him, and so did Bai Xuer.

Unlike Lu Tianyu, Bai Xuer almost fell for Ding Biao at first sight. She competed against Lu Tianyu for everything, but still lost in the end. Ding Biao had no interest in her at all, and was interested in Lu Tianyu.

Later on, they joined the base. Lu Tianyu met many superpower possessors who were stronger than Ding Biao, so she dumped him immediately. At that time, Bai Xuer triggered her superpower as well.

After triggering her own superpower, Bai Xuer instantly stopped relying on men. However, she didn’t forget Ding Biao. She joined a hunters’ group together with Ding Biao and started to grow survival skills in the outside world, upgrading herself.

Lin Qiao calmly carried Teng and kept walking. No wonder that woman seemed like she wanted to tread upon her face after seeing her.

The other people all looked at Lin Qiao curiously as they had recognized her as Lu Tianyu. However, they also automatically stepped away from her. After all, Lu Tianyu used to bring people trouble wherever she had been.

The attention from the surrounding people didn’t affect Lin Qiao and the other adults, or Lin Xiaolu, or Tongtong, or Teng. However, it did start to affect Wu Yueling in a bad way.

Lin Qiao noticed that Wu Yueling seemed to be more and more scared, and her movements turned more and more unnatural. So, she quickly handed Teng to Duan Juan, then bent over to scoop Wu Yueling up.

“Ling Ling, what’s wrong?”

Wu Yueling shook her head. She felt very uncomfortable being stared at by so many people, getting anxious. As Lin Qiao picked her up, she immediately put her arms around her neck and buried her face in her chest.

Lin Qiao looked at the other three kids and asked, “Have you had enough fun yet?” She also looked at the time. They had only spent about half an hour in the market.

The three kids nodded. They obviously wanted to stay, but they all had noticed that Wu Yueling, their little friend, seemed to be in a bad state.

“Then, let’s head back!” Lin Qiao said to them with a smile.

After that, the three adults and four kids headed downstairs, even though they hadn’t bought anything. They walked outside the building, prepared to drive back to Wu Chengyue’s place.

Unexpectedly, they were stopped by Bai Xuer and some other people once they came out of the building.
