Chapter 976: Chapter 779, Congratulations City Lord Chapter 976: Chapter 779, Congratulations City Lord No way, it seemed Shi Yali actually quite liked herself, she surely wouldn't go as far as to kill her.
Just as she thought to open her eyes, she felt strands of hair falling across her cheek.
Then came the icy, soft touch of lips, kissing the edge of her own.
Wu Heng opened his eyes to see Shi Yali sitting beside the bed, softly kissing him.
Next was the slide of a tender tongue.
When they parted, their eyes met.
“Shi Ya…”
Hush!
Shi Yali made a silencing gesture with her hand, then climbed onto the bed from the outside, slipping under the covers.
Xi Ligui felt a bit crowded and dazedly looked to the outside.
Shi Yali's body also stiffened, and then she whispered, “It's okay, it's your sister.”
“Mhm,” Xi Ligui turned to sleep on the other side.
Shi Yali nestled on the other side against his chest, lightly leaning against him, “I don't even know what is good about you.”
“Getting reckless again under the influence of alcohol,” Wu Heng also whispered back.
“What else can I do?” Shi Yali said helplessly, her somewhat chilled fingers gently caressing his firm chest and muscles.
Wu Heng pulled her close, “How am I to explain this to Xi Ligui?”
“That's my sister, I'm not afraid, what are you scared of?”
Wu Heng glanced again at Xi Ligui, who was deep asleep, then lifted Shi Yali's upper garment, tenderly kissing her lips and chest.
His movements were extremely cautious.
Xi Ligui's fullness was different; Shi Yali's bust was round and firm.
It wasn't until his hand moved further down that Shi Yali shook her head, “Someday, I will be all yours.”
Wu Heng didn't insist, letting her rest on his other shoulder, and he too fell into a deep sleep.
Morning arrived.
Xi Ligui's eyes widened in anger as she shouted, “What are you doing?”
Shi Yali retorted loudly, “What do you think I'm doing? I'm your sister, and I'm the one who's at a disadvantage here!”
“You must be insane; I'm going to tell Mom,” Xi Ligui said still furious.
“We'll see who Mom blames, you allowed a man to stay the night in your house,” Shi Yali kept going, “Why didn't you mention Wu Heng just now?”
Xi Ligui said, “He's a mage, he drank so much, I didn't even wake up, how could he have reacted.”
Shi Yali said again, “So what do we do now?”
Xi Ligui just sat there dazed.
Shi Yali sighed softly and pulled Xi Ligui into her arms, “Sorry, sister, it's my fault, I didn't want this to happen. Please help me kill him for the sake of my honor.”
Xi Ligui's eyes instantly went from anger to shock, “What are you doing! Why kill him!”
Wu Heng left the Steward Mansion with his heart still pounding.
As expected, come morning, the two had instantly started arguing in the room.
Wu Heng wanted to stay and try to break up the fight, but Xi Ligui and Shi Yali unanimously told him not to intervene, and to leave first.
He could only sheepishly make his exit with a feeling of getting kicked out after pulling his pants up.
“Drinking really causes trouble,” Wu Heng muttered.
He went straight back to the Island Lord's Mansion.
As he stepped into the living room, Mini spoke, “Master, Sister Veera said the last batch of wild beasts has arrived.”
“Alright,” Wu Heng walked over to the phone and called the city hall.
Soon, Andre Willow's voice came through, “Master, the last batch of animals purchased last night has been delivered and is stored in the warehouse at Dock No. 2.”
“I'm on my way now.”
“Okay, Master.”
After hanging up, he washed up quickly and left the Island Lord's Mansion again.
He arrived at the warehouse area of Dock No. 2.
The gates opened, and the foul smell from the animals hit him.
The warehouse was full of various cages.
Some were covered with canvas, while others were openly displayed.
Exhausted and listless animals and beasts were visible inside.
Wu Heng briefly inspected them, then ordered the doors shut and opened a boundary door from a prepared gate inside.
He had the skeletons transfer all the cages to the other side of the boundary door.
Once all the cages had been transferred.
Wu Heng also arrived in Zombie World and took out his phone to call Li Yahong.
The call was quickly answered, “Hello?”
“It's me.”
“What's up?” asked Li Yahong.
Wu Heng glanced at the cages and said, “Last time you mentioned the domestic fowl had arrived, when will you come and pick them up?”
Li Yahong responded directly, “The convoy is already on its way, I'll be there by noon.”
“Alright, we'll talk then.”
“Understood.”
After hanging up, Wu Heng's gaze returned to the cages.
There were two types of animals purchased.
For the survivors to raise, there were White Rabbits, Colorful Tail Chickens, Star-spotted deer, and giant-toothed pigs.
Of course, these were purchased in large quantities, and some would be kept aside for Corpse Core experiments.
There were only three types of beasts, Hyenas, giant bats, and Iron-Mouthed Crocodiles.
They were solely for experimentation.
“Carry them and follow me.”
Wu Heng headed towards the prison within the facility to allocate the cells for these beasts.
Lundham City.
Wen Mansha sat on the throne, holding a baby in her arms, nursing and humming softly.
Then, from one side of the corridor, a voice announced, “My lady, someone from outside has arrived, claiming to be a representative from the Yeko Kingdom.”
Wen Mansha's eyebrows raised slightly.
A representative from the Yeko Kingdom? It had been rare to see any representatives recently.
After handing the burping infant to a nearby Skeleton Ghost Hag and straightening her clothes, she said, “Take him to the living room, and have the Skeleton Guards tighten security.”
“Yes, my lady.”
Before long, the attendants from the City Lord's Mansion brought in two individuals.
The person in the lead was tall and thin, dressed in fancy formal attire, looking more like a noble than the stern-faced individual following him who was bulky and appeared to be wearing armor, likely a guard attendant.
They were brought into the living room and bowed, “City Lord.”
Wen Mansha gestured towards the sofa across from her, “Please sit.”
The sofa was positioned at a safe distance, allowing for normal conversation without any immediate danger.
“I visited Lundham City a few years ago, and it did not have the scale it has now,” said the tall, thin man with a smile.
Wen Mansha did not wish to chat about this and asked directly, “You represent the Yeko Kingdom?”
“Yes.”
“The Crown Prince or the Second Prince?” Wen Mansha inquired.
The brows of the two men across from her instantly furrowed, seemingly surprised that Wen Mansha would be aware of such details.
After all, the Crown Prince's influence was in the south and was unlikely to reach here.
“The Second Prince,” said the other.
Wen Mansha nodded, “What would you like to discuss? You can speak now.”
She already had some guesses about their purpose, likely peace talks.
Since Wu Heng had asked her to pause the offensive, she could have a preliminary talk with them, stall for time, and listen to what they wanted to do.
The tall, thin man revealed an excited smile, “We've come to tell you a great piece of good news.”
“Oh, let's hear it?”
The other stated directly, “The Second Prince has taken a liking to you and wishes to marry you, making you the future queen of the Yeko Kingdom.”
Wen Mansha's eyebrows instantly knit together.
In Zombie World, the prison.
Wu Heng sat at his office desk, surrounded by a group of Skeletons that had been assigned to him.
Among them were Alchemy Skeletons and over a dozen higher-level Skeleton Investigators.
Wu Heng was detailing the experimental tasks to the Skeletons, uncertain about the outcomes, hence the detailed instructions.
Beep beep~!
At that moment, the sound of a car horn came from the gate.
Glancing out the window, he noticed the convoy had arrived.
“Alright, that's the situation. The equipment and rooms here are at your disposal, just be sure to keep good records.”
The higher-level Skeletons left after bowing respectfully.
Wu Heng also descended the stairs, walking towards the convoy.
