"Knock, knock, knock."
The sound of the door interrupted Liu You'er’s thoughts. She instantly appeared in the bathroom and turned off the showerhead, looking displeased at the door. The reflection in the mirror still bore the coldness that had yet to dissipate.
"Hey, hey, you've been in there for two hours! Are you trying to scald pigskin or something?"
"Creak."
The door opened, and Xuan Mo hurriedly stepped aside. Sure enough, a flash of Electric Light appeared, leaving a black mark on the wall.
"Ruru, you’re getting more ruthless by the day! I’m just…"
"Bye-bye!"
Xuan Mo looked at the empty bathroom and heard a soft voice coming from the hallway. She quickly shouted and chased after it…
The two walked side by side on the street, turning heads left and right. Most of the men were staring at Liu You'er, while some women and a few men were focused on Xuan Mo.
The clothes they wore were luxury items before the apocalypse; after the apocalypse, they not only represented luxury but also their strength! However, most people, upon seeing Liu You'er’s stunning appearance, thought she could only live so well thanks to Xuan Mo.
How pathetic!
Liu You'er observed their expressions and could guess what they were thinking with just her toes. A hint of disdain curled at the corners of her mouth.
"Those who think so sordidly and label others based solely on their subjective opinions without understanding will forever remain failures!"
Xuan Mo suddenly felt the faint chill emanating from Liu You'er. With a slight shift in thought, he guessed the reason and immediately shot a cold glance at the onlookers. Those who met his gaze felt as if they were in the depths of winter and quickly averted their eyes.
Without those colorful gazes, Liu You'er naturally felt much more at ease and began to survey B City Base.
The base was large, estimated to be two or three times the size of her own. The military strength was undeniable, with groups of people patrolling every street, appearing well-trained. In each group, at least one person was an Ability user; although their levels were not high, it was still quite rare.
Stalls lined both sides, selling various weapons and Cores, along with strange "martial arts manuals." Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead as two people began to argue over a transaction.
"I saw it first! How could you take it from me!"
"What do you mean you saw it first? If I want it, it's mine!"
Liu You'er looked closely at the item being fought over; it was just a bracelet. Although its color and luster were decent, it was hardly top quality.
Not only did the thief take the item, but he also pushed the other person down and ordered his bodyguards to beat him up. This was simply too much, yet the patrolling officers completely ignored it, pretending not to see.
Liu You'er perked up her ears and listened to the discussions around her.
"Who is this guy? He's so domineering!"
"Sigh~ He's Captain Li Long's nephew, Li Xiong. Who would dare intervene? Besides, no one got killed."
"Just let it go; pretend you didn't see anything to avoid trouble."
"Let's hurry up and leave; they're coming this way."
Liu You'er quietly listened to the conversations around her, a look of disdain curling her lips. It seemed that the B City Base wasn't as great as it appeared; it was merely divided into three factions: officials, Ability users, and ordinary people.
Beside her, Xuan Mo leaned closer to her ear, observing her expression.
"What's wrong? Are you planning to punish the strong and help the weak, or are you thinking of a beauty saving a bear?"
Xuan Mo's charming tone, combined with his cryptic smile, finally caught Liu You'er's attention. She coldly shot back at him, "Idiot!"
However, her voice was originally soft and would not have been heard by someone thirty meters away. Yet, a strange wind carried her words directly into Li Xiong's ears, prompting him to turn around and shout, "Who the hell is cursing me in secret? Step forward!"
"……"
Liu You'er shot a glance at Xuan Mo, who was pretending to examine weapons nearby. She directly told the shopkeeper, "He has no money," and continued walking forward.
Li Xiong naturally heard Liu You'er's voice. When he looked over and saw a stunning beauty, he instantly forgot his anger. It wasn't until someone beside him reminded him that he snapped back to reality and quickly walked up to Liu You'er.
"Did you just insult me?"
Li Xiong was a head taller than Liu You'er and looked decent enough, but he reeked of smoke and alcohol, making Liu You'er take a step back.
He mistakenly thought that Liu You'er was frightened by him. Suddenly realizing that she seemed timid made him feel he must have misheard her. There was something somewhat endearing about her, which softened his tone.
"Ahem, who were you talking about just now?"
Liu You'er glanced up at Li Xiong but didn't want to engage with him. She pointed in Xuan Mo's direction only to find that he had already vanished, causing her brow to furrow slightly.
"You heard wrong!"
After she calmly finished speaking, she walked past Li Xiong.
Although her tone was indifferent, it was incredibly soft, making Li Xiong feel weak in the knees. By the time he realized Liu You'er had left and turned to look for her, he found that she had already disappeared. He couldn't help but curse himself: "It's over, it's over. I let Xuanxuan down."
"You actually used a beauty trap, impressive~"
"Bang!"
Xuan Mo dodged Liu You'er's punch and looked at the cracked wall, feeling wronged as he said, "I'm just helping you~ Look, that person has been let go now~"
Liu You'er coldly stared at him, crossing her arms and saying, "But I had no intention of saving him."
The two exchanged glares before continuing their shopping. Suddenly, a child fell in front of Liu You'er. Although she hesitated for a moment, in less than a tenth of a second in the eyes of others, she immediately crouched down.
"Are you okay? That must hurt~"
Liu You'er furrowed her brows as she helped the child up and brushed off the dirt on his clothes. At that moment, a woman rushed over, repeatedly saying "thank you."
Liu You'er smiled lightly, her warmth reminiscent of spring as she replied, "It's nothing." The woman then took the child away, and as they left, the child curiously looked back at Liu You'er.
Xuan Mo watched Liu You'er's smile and felt a flicker of emotion in his heart.
She truly still had human emotions; how unlearned she was.
Wang Luojie, who was out shopping for Qiaoyue, happened to witness this scene. He felt a stir in his heart; for some reason, the figure of "Radiant Lightning" seemed to overlap with Liu You'er’s face, startling him. He quickly rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to see that Radiant Lightning had already walked away with Xuan Mo.
"Wang Luojie~"
A slightly shy voice called out, and Wang Luojie turned around to find Qiaoyue approaching him. His brows furrowed slightly as he gently scolded her, "Aren't you feeling unwell? Why are you out here?"
Qiaoyue's face flushed red as she shyly clung to Wang Luojie's arm and said, "It’s like this every month, really~ This time it doesn't hurt much, and I wanted to go shopping with you~"
Seeing her like this, Wang Luojie smiled indulgently.
"Alright~ Let's go together."
Suddenly, Wang Luojie felt someone watching him from behind. He quickly turned around but found that the pedestrians on the street were all going about their own business without anything unusual.
Seeing him like this, Qiaoyue couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Wang Luojie thought for a moment and smiled, "It's nothing; it might just be my occupational hazard."
"Oh dear~ Just relax a bit~"
"Okay~"
Not far away, Liu You'er stood quietly in an alley, leaning against the wall, her eyes sparkling with interest...
