Chapter 564: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (35)

Luo Ning pondered her memories.

In that life, after she and her brother arrived at Kyoto Base, her brother specifically looked into Luo Baomiao.

Consequently, he learned about the matter between Luo Baomiao and her fiancé, Zuo Xia.

On their way to the north with the Luo Family to the Kyoto Base, they encountered her fiancé in danger, and the Luo Brothers saved Zuo Xia.

However, Zuo Xia’s legs suffered incurable severe injuries, and he would have to spend his life in a wheelchair.

Before the apocalypse, being disabled would have meant losing the right to inherit family assets, let alone in an age where power determined everything.

After returning to the Kyoto Base, Zuo Xia voluntarily withdrew from the competition to become the heir.

Initially, he even suggested annulling his engagement to Luo Baomiao, not wanting to hold her back.

But Luo Baomiao refused, emphasizing that she couldn’t leave him in his current condition.

Because of this, the entire Kyoto Base knew that Luo Baomiao stood by her fiancé, willing to marry even though he had become disabled.

Moreover, Luo Baomiao actively went to the Zuo Family’s home to care for Zuo Xia, which improved her reputation significantly.

The Zuo Family, thus, had a better impression of Luo Baomiao and even helped boost her reputation at the base, publicly praising her as a kind and good girl.

In contrast, rumors slowly spread in the base that Zuo Xia, owing to his disability, was becoming increasingly bad-tempered and irritable at home as he aged, prone to fits of rage, and would even hit people and abuse animals.

Luo Baomiao endured much suffering inflicted by Zuo Xia, yet she still persisted in taking care of her fiancé, a paragon of womanhood.

The news also mentioned that Zuo Xia was moved by Luo Baomiao, and although he was no longer an heir, he had his own connections and influence, which he secretly used to protect Luo Baomiao.

He even went so far as to gradually hand over his influence to Luo Baomiao.

Later, Luo Baomiao accompanied Zuo Xia outside Kyoto Base to look for some Mutant Plants said to cure his legs, but they encountered danger.

It was rumored that to protect Zuo Xia, Luo Baomiao was severely injured by the Mutant Plants.

Despite this, Zuo Xia still died, poisoned by the Mutant Plants; he succumbed on the way back to Kyoto Base.

At the time, both the Zuo Family and the Luo Brothers insisted it was Zuo Xia who pulled Luo Baomiao along to search for the Mutant Plants.

He died and even caused Luo Baomiao to suffer severe injuries.

Feeling remorseful, the Zuo Family compensated Luo Baomiao with many valuable items.

Luo Baomiao’s reputation rose even higher as a result.

Thus, a year later, when Luo Baomiao announced that she was together with Eldest Luo, hardly anyone gossiped or objected.

Instead, they praised them as a match made in heaven, advising Eldest Luo to treat Luo Baomiao, the kind girl, well. Even the Zuo Family sent their blessings and gifts.

At the time, Luo Ning felt that with Luo Baomiao’s personality, she would never willingly marry a disabled man who had lost his inheritance rights.

Therefore, Luo Ning suspected that Zuo Xia’s death might have been engineered by Luo Baomiao, but there was no evidence.

After recalling her memories, Luo Ning gave Zuo Xia a sympathetic look.

The poor guy would have lived safely to an old age as a carefree person with the Zuo Family’s status and power protecting him if he hadn’t gotten engaged to Luo Baomiao.

Unfortunately, like herself, he ended up as a stepping stone on Luo Baomiao’s path to success.

Luo Ning also had quite an understanding of Luo Baomiao’s personality.

She felt that her own suspicion was likely true.

Luo Baomiao had Wood Element Superpower, and Space Well Water greatly spurred plant growth.

She speculated that Zuo Xia had been coaxed by Luo Baomiao into searching for the Mutant Plants that could cure his legs.

Luo Baomiao secretly used her Wood Element Superpower to communicate with plants and lured them with Space Well Water to attack Zuo Xia.

Then, in front of both the Zuo Family and Luo Family, Luo Baomiao rushed to protect Zuo Xia, pretending to be seriously injured herself.

Zuo Xia was poisoned and couldn’t be saved, which also implicated Luo Baomiao.

This way, not only could Luo Baomiao rid herself of her disabled fiancé, but she could also cultivate a good reputation.

The Zuo Family wouldn’t trouble her but instead feel guilty and compensate her, her scheming was meticulously planned.

Luo Ning still suspected that Zuo Xia might doubt that Luo Baomiao was acting, suspecting underlying issues, which is why Luo Baomiao hurried to kill him.

However, this time Luo Baomiao didn’t have a space pendant. In the team, unlike the last life where she gained a good reputation all the way, she grew distant from the Luo Family, so she didn’t go out to save Zuo Xia.

Luo Ning curled her lips, believing that this time Luo Baomiao wouldn’t have the chance to take over Zuo Xia’s power.

All along the way, Zuo Xia was talking with Luo Ning and others, clearly a very talkative and cheerful person.

Luo Ning didn’t think that after his legs became disabled, his nature would suddenly become unbearable.

It could only mean that either Luo Baomiao had maliciously manipulated things, or she deliberately spread rumors at the base.

Zuo Xia found that after his wounds were bandaged, they stopped bleeding and the pain had significantly lessened, the medication was very effective.

He noticed that the hemostatic medicine was packed in paper with medicine powder, not like the hemostatic medicine currently on the market.

Therefore, he turned to Luo Ning with a smile and asked, "Luo Ning, the hemostatic medicine you used on us works really well, did you buy it or make it yourself?"

Their Zuo Family is currently in the medical business at the Kyoto Base, and he saw a business opportunity in it.

From the introduction earlier, he knew that Luo Ning was the team’s doctor.

Luo Ning replied, "This is hemostatic medicine that I prepared myself."

Zuo Xia smiled again and asked, "Is it difficult to prepare? Our Zuo Family is in the medical business, I wonder if there’s a chance to cooperate with you?"

Luo Ning didn’t want Zuo Xia in this life to again be Luo Baomiao’s stepping stone, handing over people and then receiving protection from the Zuo Family, so she planned to interact more with the Zuo Family.

So she nodded with a smile, "This type of medicine powder is not difficult to prepare, and the ingredients are not rare. We can talk about cooperation when we get back to the Kyoto Base."

Zuo Xia’s eyes brightened, "After we get back to the Kyoto Base, I’ll come find you."

Luo Ning nodded, "Okay!"

During their conversation, the group returned to where the main force was resting tonight.

Yu Wei was startled when he saw Shen Yan and others supporting Zuo Xia and his group.

"Young Master Zuo, are you injured?" He recognized Zuo Xia, having interacted with him previously in Capital City.

Zuo Xia gave a bitter smile, "Yu Wei, long time no see. I went out for business this time and was attacked by mutant beasts on the way back to the Kyoto Base, and was seriously injured."

He then added, "Luckily, we encountered Luo Ning and her group who rescued us, otherwise, it would have been over."

Yu Wei said with a smile, "Then you guys are really fortunate, Luo Ning happens to be a doctor, and she treated your wounds, right?"

He genuinely felt that Zuo Xia and his group were lucky, as if they hadn’t encountered Luo Ning and her group suddenly deciding to pick herbs, being severely injured in the wilderness would have meant certain death.

Zuo Xia agreed with a smile, "Yeah, we also feel lucky."

"I’ll properly thank them after we get back to the Kyoto Base," he added.

Yu Wei laughed, "You should."

After spending some time together, he and Luo Ning had become comrades through adversity, so naturally, he hoped Zuo Xia would remember Luo Ning’s kindness.

As they were talking, a surprised and anxious female voice rang out, "Zuo Xia, what are you doing here?"
