Chapter 124: Chapter 17: The Queen’s Return

The resources in Baijing County were abundant, the city walls were solid, and everyone’s mental state was very good.

When Li Shuyan and the five others arrived, they saw the city gates tightly shut, with some patrol people standing on the walls. Seeing those people so clean and tidy, they all showed a look of surprise.

In this chaotic world, water was even running short, let alone bathing.

Even Li Shuyan hadn’t taken a bath for a long time.

But the people in Baijing County were different. They had a leader who was a Water Ability User. In the county, there was a big tank where everyone went daily to get water and wash.

Moreover, many people didn’t even have food, looking sallow and emaciated. But these people, in front of them, looked so vibrant, obviously eating well too.

Xue Han breathed a sigh of relief: “It seems we were right to come to Baijing County. These people are strong, and their condition is so good.”

Li Shuyan nodded, but her heart was contemplating other things. If Baijing County was in good condition, with her and Brother Han’s strength, she wondered if they could replace the ones in charge here.

Only by controlling Baijing County, in this zombie-infested world, could she benefit herself.

Xue Han shouted towards the people on the city wall: “Everyone, we came from Lin City. Could you let us into the city?”

The patrollers didn’t dare to make a decision. A few days ago, the leader said if anyone came again, they wouldn’t be let in directly; they would have to check the situation first.

“Bro, please wait a moment.”

And the wait was over ten minutes.

But Xue Han didn’t mind. The road they traveled to reach Baijing County was also very dangerous. Obviously, Baijing County had sensed it, which was why they were so alert?

They had been on the road for days. Relaxing now, they just sat down on the ground to rest.

When more voices came through, Xue Han looked up again, but couldn’t move his eyes away. Going in circles, they met again.

Li Shuyan looked at Li Shuning in disbelief. Why could she be so clean, as if she were still the young lady before the mutation, with fair skin, wearing beautiful clothes, and those people treated her with such respect.

Why?

Li Shuning wore a white shirt, black trousers, her hair was tied up high, clean and sharp. Though simple, she was still beautiful.

Li Shuning saw Li Shuyan and the others, seeing them so disheveled, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Oh, I wondered who it was. Xiao Lin, you were in such a hurry to find me, saying some experts wanted to enter the city. Was it them?”

Xiao Lin next to her was evidently a bit embarrassed. His strength was good, and when he saw those people below the city gate, he immediately sensed their strength wasn’t weak, so he went to ask the leader.

Unexpectedly, when the leader came, her tone was obviously not friendly with these people.

“Xiao Lin, do you know who these people are? Well, this woman is my sister, this man is my fiancé, this one is my uncle, and that one is my uncle…”

Li Shuning pointed and teased on the city wall, making Xue Han and the others inexplicably unable to lift their heads.

To his leader, Xiao Lin understood her, and he was also a smart person: “Oh, they are the leader’s relatives? How come they’re in such a miserable state?”

Li Shuning didn’t have time to say anything before Li Shuyan coldly sneered: “My dear sister, what is there to be proud of? A woman who hasn’t even awakened a superpower yet holds such a position in Baijing County. I wonder how many people you’ve submitted to? Indeed, a pair of jade arms for a thousand to pillow on, half-bitten red lips savored by a myriad of guests, it’s because you’re beautiful.”

“Where are Dad and Mom? Didn’t you rely on Dad and Mom’s favor to slander me and took them away? Now seeing us down and out, you’re mocking us? Brother Han and I are both Third Rank Superpower Users. Even in such chaotic times, we are a considerable force. Aren’t you afraid of angering your lover, treating us so negligently? Oh, and let me correct you, Brother Han is already my husband, so don’t covet him.”

Xiao Lin was livid. This foul-mouthed woman dared to speak like that to the leader.

However, he didn’t have time to say anything before being stopped by Li Shuning.

Li Liang also spoke at this moment: “Xiao Ning, quickly have them open the gate for us. We are weary from the journey. Open the gate, and I can catch up with your mom and dad. It’s been so long since we split, it feels like ages.”

Xue Ting and Xue Han felt somewhat awkward.

Li Shuning started laughing, laughing until tears came down: “Li Shuyan, you still have the face to mention Mom and Dad? Mom and Dad said back then that the next time they saw you, you would no longer be my sister. Did you almost kill me back then to get Xue Han? Are you satisfied now?”

“Back then, only Dad awakened his superpower. He protected Mom and me here. However, we encountered a female zombie. That female zombie was super strong, even raising humans as livestock in this city. Mom was bitten by that zombie and became a zombie herself. Dad died to save Mom. Under such a shock, I awakened my superpower and later drove the zombie away. Baijing County is mine; the people here listen to me. I earned my status today fair and square.”

“A pair of jade arms for a thousand to pillow on, half-bitten red lips savored by a myriad of guests, Li Shuyan, have you enjoyed it? Otherwise, why say something like that? Hahaha.”

Li Shuyan’s expression turned ugly. Her days in the south haunted her like a nightmare, where those men violated her one by one. She had always kept such disgusting experiences buried in her heart. Being exposed by Li Shuning made her feel a bit guilty.

“My Uncle Li Liang, what right do you have to persuade me? When we were on the road, what did you say? Mom and Dad died, who do you think you are? Playing the uncle in front of me?”

“Xue Han, do you remember when you came looking for me? I was knocked down. With your mind, you naturally know what happened. Later in the Li Family, Li Shuyan used Aunt again to harm me and Mom. Later on the road, she harmed us again. What did you all say?”

“Mom and Dad are gone, so don’t use them as a pretext. Uncle Xue, considering the relationship between our families, I’ll allow you into the city, but I hope you’ll behave yourselves. If I find you pulling any stunts behind my back, don’t blame me for expelling you.”

Li Shuyan isn’t that powerful, no matter how miserable she looks, being with Xue Han doesn’t change anything. Li Shuning sneered, she would just watch.

Indeed, Li Shuning didn’t care at all. To put it nicely, Li Shuyan had advantages in the plot, with formidable strength, becoming a queen-like figure, but now her strength couldn’t catch up with Li Shuning’s at all.

The city gates opened wide, and Xue Han and his party of six walked in.

The Xue family still felt a bit awkward, given that Xue Han was indeed Li Shuning’s fiancé, yet he was now with Li Shuyan, and Li Shuyan’s previous words were indeed excessive. Thinking about the fact that Li Qing’s couple actually died, they had mixed feelings.

The past incidents left them feeling a bit ashamed.
