Chapter 260: Light Reprimand
Qin Yi walked over obediently, her eyes still glistening brightly.
Yun Huan took out a towel and wiped away the perspiration on Qin Yi’s head then turned to Lin Qing and the others. “Go. The crystal cores.”
Lin Qing and the others naturally went over to dig out the crystal cores from the zombie heads. Chuchu watched as Lin Qing and the group dug into the squirmy heads and retrieved things. She wanted to vomit, but their eyes were actually bright.
Chuchu could not understand why Lin Qing and the others were willing to perform such disgusting acts.
Yun Huan’s action of wiping away Qin Yi’s perspiration was no longer a surprise for Chen Che, while Qin Hanyu watched the affectionate scene, not expecting that the cold Young Emperor would actually have a gentle side to him.
“You go too,” Yun Huan spoke up indifferently, immediately causing Chuchu to turn pale white. She knew that he was talking to her.
Qin Yi smiled and enjoyed Yun Huan’s care, but seeing Chuchu’s hesitation in going forward, her eyes gleamed as she spoke up languidly, “Is older sister Chuchu unwilling to go? Just now you didn’t do anything when we took care of the zombies, and now even the simple matter of digging up crystal cores is something you’re not doing. If that’s the case, you won’t be having any dinner tonight.”
“Chuchu is a veteran member and should know very well of the team’s discipline of not getting food if no work is done. Unfortunately, I am in charge of the food now. If you don’t work, I won’t be merciful.”
Qin Yi spoke heedlessly and sneered in her heart. She would rather feed zombies the food in her Origin Space than to give the woman.
She had taken note when Chuchu did not do anything while they were killing zombies and stood there while being infatuated over Yun Huan.
Chuchu gritted her teeth. She knew Qin Yi’s words were true, and if she did not dig up the crystal cores, Qin Yi would not feed her. She knew of the rule, but as the only female in the group, Yun Huan and the others would constantly treat her leniently and give her the lightest work.
Lin Qing and the others who were digging crystal cores were startled when they heard the conversation and suddenly realized a grave problem, which was that Chuchu was no longer able to keep up with their tempo. Initially, they were tacit and would act without saying a word, but now it was Qin Yi that was most coordinated with them.
This sort of tacit understanding was not something determined by how long the individual had been in the team.
Seeing that Chuchu was unwilling, Chu Mohe spoke up. “I’ll do it for my older sister.”
Chuchu heaved a sigh of relief. She did not want to touch the disgusting monsters. She could do anything but that.
Qin Yi’s glare turned cold as she looked at Chu Mohe in the eyes. “You can help her once, but can you help her for her entire life? She has been in here for a few months and her agility and reaction are too weak. What she needs now is battle. You won’t be helping but hurting her instead.”
The youth’s words were resounding and powerful, causing people to believe it involuntarily.
Chu Mohe did not speak further and instead looked at Chuchu. “Sis, come and do it. It’s simple. You just need to dig up the crystal cores from the zombie brains.”
Qin Yi’s words struck a chord in Chu Mohe’s heart. He had realized as well that Chuchu’s tacit understanding with them had dropped. After being separated for so long, he did not know of Chuchu’s personal strength and agreed that she needed refining.
Seeing that Chu Mohe was no longer helping her, she knew she could no longer avoid it. She endured the disgust, lifted her sleeves, and knelt down while hating Qin Yi to the bone.
This Chu Mohe was truly useless to not be able to help her at all. It truly was…
