Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

For the time being, no one knew that a herd of strange creatures had suddenly crawled out of Lake Tai and taken a tour on the ground. Each base seemed to have been secretly planning on something.

Lin Qiao brought the diary of Jiang Anan’s father back to Wu Chengyue’s place and sat on the couch to read it. The four kids were playing on a carpet in the living room while Wu Chengyue was sitting in an armchair on the other side of the living room, reading a file. Xiao Yunlong and Meng Yue came in to find the two adults sitting on different sides of the living room, each reading something, and the kids playing on the ground and the couch.

In fact, the three older kids were all sitting on the couch. Teng was the only one crawling on the ground, wearing a panda jumpsuit.

“Is this Teng? Hi, Teng! I am Meng Yue. You can call me Aunt Yue!” Meng Yue saw Teng crawling on the carpet with his small limbs once she came in. So, she instantly walked to the kid and reached out her arms to hold him.

However, Teng immediately turned around and quickly crawled toward the couch. By the side of the couch, he turned back and glared at Meng Yue silently. The series of movements didn’t look like something that a one-month-old baby would make.

To create the space for the kids to play, Wu Chengyue had moved the couch and the tea table to a corner, so there was a clearing before the couch.

Xiao Yunlong walked in and sensed Meng Yue’s disappointment. “Little guy, stop pretending!” he said to the boy, “Yue knows everything about you.”

On hearing that, Teng immediately pointed at Xiao Yunlong with his little finger and said angrily, “Traitor! How dare you sell me out!”

Xiao Yunlong walked over and reached out his hands to swiftly drag the boy into his arms before he could crawl away. He said while laughing, “Sold you out? No, I didn’t do that. Yue is on our side. She won’t tell anyone else. Don’t be afraid!”

As the two of them came in, both Wu Chengyue and Lin Qiao raised their heads. Meng Yue walked to Teng’s side and looked at him with disbelief. She raised a finger and poked the boy’s little face, then said, “You are really able to talk! I guess you can’t walk yet, but you’re fast! I think you’ll soon be on your feet!”

The boy’s tone of speaking didn’t sound like a baby either. Meng Yue turned and glanced at Lin Qiao, then at Wu Chengyue, knitting her eyebrows slightly.

How did those two do it? They were a man and a zombie, and they actually managed to create a perfectly alive baby! Moreover, the baby was so… special!

No wonder Wu Chengyue pursued the zombie lady so persistently. Was it because they already had a kid together? Did it happen at that time? She raped her in June last year, but the zombie lady had the baby last month… So, was the gestation period of zombies usually fifteen months? That was a long time…

Lin Qiao did notice the look in Meng Yue’s eyes and read her mind very easily. Meng Yue was purely curious, without any negative thoughts or emotions. So, Lin Qiao stopped paying attention to her.

“Oh, we’ve prepared the tables and chairs. Whom do you want as your assistant in the kitchen?” Xiao Yunlong held Teng’s soft little boy as he turned to look at Wu Chengyue and ask.

“I’ll wait for Qingming to come back. Licheng will be helping me as well,” Wu Chengyue glanced at his watch. It was at about 3 pm; he should be preparing the dinner. So, he stood up and walked toward the kitchen.

“I’m not sure if Qingming can make it back tomorrow,” said Xiao Yunlong.

“If he can’t, I won’t let him go to All Being Base to see the girl named Qingying,” Wu Chengyue left a few words before going into the kitchen.

“That is cruel!” said Xiao Yunlong.

“Put me down! Your body is as hard as a rock! I don’t want you to hold me. I want Aunty Yue to hold me!” Teng slapped his arm and complained.

“Oh, you are calling her Aunty Yue already! You ran away from her just now! How come you want her to hold you now?” Xiao Yunlong dropped his head to look at the little boy scornfully.

“That’s because your muscles are so hard that they’re making me feel uncomfortable! Cut the crap and put me down!” Teng gave him a glare and said.

Xiao Yunlong spent three seconds staring at the boy, then responded, “I don’t need you to like my muscles anyway! I only want Yue to like them.”

“Oi! What are you talking about in front of the kids!” Yue warned him once he finished. While speaking, she took Teng over from his hands.

“He is not an innocent kid! Don’t let him fool you with his appearance!” Xiao Yunlong looked at Meng Yue with a grievance. After all, the kid said something that shocked everyone yesterday!

Wu Chengyue’s men had prepared all the tables and chairs which would be needed for the party tomorrow. Some of the food was prepared as well. Of course, most of those fresh fruits and vegetables were provided by Lin Qiao.

At least five tables were needed for the meal, as Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue had each invited some guests.

After dinner, Wu Chengyue started to work on the menu for tomorrow in the kitchen. He planned to use the night to prepare everything that could be prepared in advance, and then do the rest tomorrow. The party wouldn’t start until dinner time anyway.

After bringing the kids back to their room, Lin Qiao sat down on the couch and kept reading the diary. Some noises could be heard from the kitchen from time to time. Every time she heard something, she automatically glanced at the kitchen.

Why did the man always wear a serious look on his face when he was in the kitchen? He normally had a smiling face, but he never smiled in the kitchen.

Lin Qiao watched him come in and out of the kitchen. He sorted the vegetables that could be stored overnight, and then soaked some dried vegetables in the water, in a few different bowls.

The man was really charming when he was focusing on something. He had a handsome face, a pair of bright eyes, and a concentrated look in those eyes. His body was slim but muscular…

For a moment, Lin Qiao was stunned. When she realized what was happening, she hurriedly turned her eyes back the diary which was held in her hands. Then, she couldn’t help but give a sigh. She felt more and more that something was going wrong with herself.

She spent quite a while staring at the diary until someone suddenly took it away from her hands.

“You’ve been staring at that page for ten minutes. What are you thinking about?” She didn’t even sense him approaching as Wu Chengyue sat down by her side and looked at the page that Lin Qiao was staring at while asking that question.

Lin Qiao watched him sit down right beside herself on the arm of the couch, very close to her!

She felt the warmth from his body and finally came back to her senses. She slightly changed her expressions and responded to him with composure, “I’m thinking about any way to suppress those underground creatures.”
