Chapter 256: Hu Meili’s Mother

"Enough! Enough!"

The short-haired supervisor hurried over and quickly collected the crystal nuclei from the table.

"As for the agreement regarding Hu Meili..."

"I’ll have someone bring it over right away!"

...

Before long, the agreement regarding Hu Meili was brought over.

Xiao Feng handed the agreement to Hu Meili and said, "Tear it up!"

With trembling hands, Hu Meili took the agreement. Confirming that it was indeed her agreement, tears welled up in her eyes.

Now, her fate was finally in her own hands.

With a firm grip, Hu Meili tore up the agreement, breaking free from the shackles that bound her.

"Now, Hu Meili is mine. How should we deal with the slap from earlier?"

Xiao Feng’s expression was cold as he looked at the short-haired supervisor.

At this moment, Hu Meili’s status had completely changed.

The short-haired supervisor knew the seriousness of the situation. He began to slap himself with both hands.

"I deserve to die! I’m not human! I deserve to die! I’m not human! I shouldn’t have laid a hand on her!"

Slap, slap, slap!

The sound of slaps echoed in the dining area, immediately drawing the attention of others.

"Please forgive me, I’m not human!"

"Is it enough?"

Xiao Feng asked Hu Meili.

"It’s enough, no need!"

Upon hearing this, the short-haired supervisor breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he gratefully said to Hu Meili, "I’m sorry, I was wrong before. You’re truly magnanimous. Can you forgive me?"

"Supervisor, you don’t need to say that, it’s okay!"

Fearful and timid, Hu Meili quickly reassured the supervisor.

"Boss, you see, Hu Meili has already forgiven me. What about you?"

"Let’s go!"

Xiao Feng waved his hand indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the supervisor immediately turned and hurried away. It was just a few slaps; to anyone hardened by the apocalypse, dignity was no longer a concern. But for the supervisor, exchanging those slaps for a fifth-grade crystal nucleus was definitely worth it.

Although the agreement stated a value of 100,000 units of energy, in the end, only a fraction needed to be handed over. Then, by bribing some of her superiors, the rest of the energy would be all hers. Trading a few slaps for tens of thousands in energy value - even a fool would make that deal.

"Boss, you should eat something. I’ll go tidy up first!"

"Tidy up? What’s there to tidy up? After we leave, I’ll get you a whole new set!"

Xiao Feng pointed to the chair opposite him.

"Sit down and have something to eat!"

Hu Meili pondered for a moment and thought that what Xiao Feng said made sense. Her belongings in the dormitory were just some daily necessities and a few pieces of clothing; there was nothing else valuable.

After breakfast, Xiao Feng didn’t return to the room but took Hu Meili shopping instead. They still had to wait for fifteen days here, so Xiao Feng couldn’t leave yet.

As they left the hotel, Hu Meili hesitated and said, "Boss, what about my mother..."

"Oh! I almost forgot about that!"

Xiao Feng slapped his forehead.

"Let’s go. Where is your mother staying? We’ll go take a look!"

Hearing this, Hu Meili was delighted and quickly led Xiao Feng to where her mother worked.

It was a hotel situated between the slums and the affluent areas, catering to people from all walks of life.

When they arrived at where Hu Meili’s mother worked, they inquired about her from the owner. To their surprise, the owner, upon seeing Hu Meili, panicked and said, "Meili, you’re finally here! Your mother had a very weird guest last night. I saw the guest leave this morning, but your mother hasn’t come out. I was just about to check on her!"

Hu Meili nodded casually, accustomed to such occurrences. Then, she silently followed the owner upstairs.

For people like her, dealing with such weird guests was all too common. If the people in the base were divided into classes, there were the Evolvers, the rich, the poor, and then there were the prostitutes who frequented various hotels. In harsh terms, they were no longer considered human. They had lost all dignity. As long as they could survive, their bodies no longer belonged to them.

When Xiao Feng entered the guest room, a foul stench hit him. In the dimly lit room, a woman was suspended naked in the air, her hair hanging down, obscuring her face.

Approaching, one look revealed that her whole body was covered in scars.

One after another, blood-soaked wounds, shocking to the eye.

On the bed lay a white first-order crystal nucleus.

Perhaps this was her reward after paying the price.

Seeing this scene, Hu Meili couldn’t help but rush over.

"Mom!"

With a flick of his mind, Xiao Feng made the woman fall onto the bed.

Hu Meili went forward to untie the ropes, and the woman slowly regained consciousness.

"Daughter, you’re here!"

The woman opened her weary eyes, but due to being bound for too long, she had lost all sensation in her hands.

Any movement would cause intense pain.

"Daughter, look, Mom earned a first-order crystal nucleus last night!"

Though in pain, the woman looked towards the crystal nucleus beside her with a hint of pride.

"Mom, we shouldn’t do this kind of work anymore in the future!"

Hu Meili’s tearful heartache.

"Silly child, we’re not evolvers, and we don’t have any other skills. If we don’t do this kind of work, what else can we do?"

Just then, Hu Meili’s mother noticed Xiao Feng beside her.

"Meili, is this... your new boyfriend?"

"No!"

Hu Meili blushed a bit.

"This boss helped me terminate the agreement at the hotel and said he would take us back to Qingyun Base together. We won’t have to do this kind of work anymore!"

"Really? That’s great!"

Hu Meili’s mother struggled to sit up, but she was too weak to do so.

Xiao Feng took out an elbow and handed it over. "Eat this, and you’ll recover quickly!"

"Wow! Braised knuckle!"

The nearby boss’s eyes immediately turned green with envy.

Hu Meili took the elbow, tore it into small pieces, and fed it to her mother.

Before long, all the wounds on her body disappeared, and the numbness in her hands recovered.

"What a miraculous elbow! All the wounds on my body are healed!"

Hu Meili’s mother moved her hands in disbelief.

"Thank you so much, boss!"

Seeing this, Xiao Feng stood up and walked out.

At the same time, he said, "Put on your clothes!"

Hu Meili’s mother looked down at herself and started to put on her clothes.

About ten minutes later, Hu Meili and her mother came down from upstairs.

"Thank you, boss!"

Hu Meili’s mother approached and said, "My name is Zhang Min, I’m Meili’s mother. She has told me everything about you!"
