Chapter 222: Chapter 220: Just This _1

Tang Ye held an arm blade, which he had wrenched from Li Henian, in his hand. The instant it flew out, his figure flickered into a shadow trailing behind it.

The swirling air sucked in Tang Ye as he rapidly moved through it, leaving Li Qingtian, who sat on the ground spewing mouthfuls of fresh blood, struggling to breathe. It was as if someone was fighting her for the air.

Bang! Bang!

Thump!

A continuous string of collision sounds echoed around. With confusion, Li Qingtian saw her younger brother, Li Henian, who had just been flung out, fly right back in. A dark figure was fast on his tail and a severed leg with an iron-grey skin was seen, which was undeniably her younger brother’s leg!

Li Qingtian froze, her heart trembling with fear. Li Henian was her only family member, the only person in this world who had shown her warmth.

In a family where boys were valued and girls were devalued, Li Henian was the only one she considered family. Even though he had turned into a zombie, his eyes still recognised his sister.

He couldn’t die. With a deep breath, Li Qingtian realized she had been living without a purpose. She had even considered dying a while back. But every time she thought of her slow-witted brother, who occasionally spoke nonsense, she gave up. Li Henian, crippled by a car accident, was mentally stuck at the age of twelve. Perhaps his intelligence level was even lower than that. Though Li Xunhao and his wife might care for him their entire lives, they would eventually grow old and pass away.

What would happen to Li Henian then, all alone?

Thinking about this, Li Qingtian made the decision to tether her life to Li Henian’s.

Throughout Li Henian’s life, she was the only one who had stayed by him. He might have bullied her, given her a tough time due to her lack of status in the family, but it was undeniable that Li Henian’s companionable affection towards Li Qingtian was greater than that from Li Xunhao and his wife.

His obsessive devotion towards his sister, Li Qingtian, was profound. It kept him recognizing her as a "friendly person" even when he turned into a mindless zombie.

Li Henian, his body twisted and mangled, lay on the ground. His limbs and organs were strewn all over the place. He lay there weakly, his automaton jaws opening and closing, occasionally spewing out zombie blood of a dark red hue.

Tang Ye felt no pity for him. With one foot on Li Henian’s chest and the arm blade that he had wrestled off from him raised in the air, Tang Ye was about to thrust the blade through his head. But then he saw Li Henian’s empty, scattered white eyes.

The eyes had no living human spark in them, just like a common zombie. It did not possess an active mind like his own.

’Could there be a mistake somewhere?’

Tang Ye felt a little strange. He felt as if his powerful punch had landed on soft cotton. Doubting the perception of Henian as a sentient zombie, TangYe lost half of his excitement. He wondered, ’Am I the only sentient zombie in this world?’

Never mind that, it didn’t matter. When he encountered another one, he would take it from there. Holding onto the arm blade, just as Tang Ye was about to finish off Li Henian, a delicate body tightly hugged him.

"I... I beg you. Please, don’t kill him. Henian is the only family I’ve left. He really can’t die! Please, I beg you!"

Li Qingtian clutched onto Tang Ye, refusing to let go. In her choking voice, she pulled him a few steps back.

Smelling her body’s scent, which was clean, similar to Ning Yu’er’s, but slightly different, Tang Ye tossed her away impatiently. As a zombie, the hormones that a human body should secrete had long been cut off from him, he no longer had any passion. Even if a beautiful woman held him, or even if she was lying naked on the bed, Tang Ye would have no reaction at all.

"Your family member isn’t my family member. Why should I spare him?"

"Please... Please don’t kill him, I’m begging you. I will give you anything I have!"

Tang Ye scornfully spat out. She would give him anything he wanted? Could she give him a hundred Level 5 Evolution Crystals? Or even Level 4 ones would do!

Clearly, she couldn’t.

"You ruined my plan and I should spare him... Ha ha~"

Tang Ye said chillingly. Li Qingtian, who had previously been eloquent, didn’t dare to retort. She was worried that a slight retort from her would cost Henian’s life to this freak!

Tang Ye’s incomplete statement misled her, he’d always spoke like this. With the unique madness of a zombie’s instinct, his words only considered his own viewpoint. Therefore, when other people heard it, it often sounded irrelevant. Whether others could understand or not was their problem.

She misinterpreted that Tang Ye was going to do ’that’ kind of thing. After pondering a while and worrying about Henian’s participation in the evolution Crystal, she didn’t have time to think further. Making up her mind, she decided to take a risk.

Seeing Tang Ye about to kill Henian, Li Qingtian hurriedly called to him.

"Wait a moment...,"

Tang Ye didn’t respond. He raised the arm blade and was about to chop down, but Li Qingtian suddenly lunged at him. However, Tang Ye remained steady, and Li Qingtian was thrown back by the counterforce, falling onto the ground and spewing out some more blood.

"Could you... stop for a moment... Don’t kill him, please? I beg you... I’ll... I’ll give myself to you to save him,"

Li Qingtian pleaded miserably, her face bearing a look of desperation and a touch of tenderness. Seeing her like this, the impatient Tang Ye soon developed an interest. This was the expression he wanted to see, one that satisfied his perverse desires.

"You’ll give yourself to me? And what would you give me?"

Tang Ye recalled that he hadn’t asked for anything; did this woman know what he wanted?

When Tang Ye posed the question, Li Qingtian’s face reddened. She didn’t dare to look straight into Tang Ye’s masked face, and instead, turned her gaze towards Henian, who was lying on the ground. Flustered, she said, "I could offer... to give you... I... my... that..."

She pointed towards her abdomen intending to move her hand lower, down to her legs, but drew her hand back swiftly. Although her expression might not have been clear, any veteran could understand the meaning behind that gesture instantly.

Tang Ye, however, frowned. In his perception, this kind of thing held absolutely no interest. He was unsure if ’it’ could even work.

Compared to doing ’that’, he would rather consume her straight away. But ’consume’ was not an elegant word. Preferably, he would use his tentacle to suck her until she was but a dry corpse; this seemed more acceptable.

"Just this? It’s quite disappointing."

Li Qingtian’s face froze; she initially thought that this "man" was interested in her beauty. Later, he seemed to show no interest in her beauty, as if he was merely playing with her.
