Shen Yiyue finished off the burly men on the ground with her knife.
Unable to move, they were completely defenseless. Before dying, their faces showed expressions of relief.
Perhaps they felt that dying at the hands of this young girl was better than dying at the hands of that demon.
After a while, Ning Yu returned to the small backyard.
She walked up to Shen Yiyue, gently holding her knife.
Shen Yiyue looked up at Ning Yu's unfamiliar and bloodthirsty eyes.
She suddenly felt afraid. Had little Yu gone mad? Was she now coming to kill her?
But Ning Yu's small hand loosened, and the Crimson War Blade fell, disappearing into thin air before it hit the ground.
Her eyes visibly changed back to the amber color Shen Yiyue was familiar with.
The silver-haired little girl revealed a sweet smile and softly spoke in a gentle voice:
"Sister Yue, you're okay..."
Before she could finish, Ning Yu felt her vision go dark, and she slowly fell forward into Shen Yiyue's arms.
【Dark Side of the Moon】 had finally ended, and she seemed to have reached some kind of limit.
Before losing consciousness, she had only one thought:
This skill probably wasn't -5 Charm, but -100 Charm.
Shen Yiyue tightly embraced the petite body of the silver-haired little girl.
Her cheek pressed against Ning Yu's delicate, snow-white silver hair, feeling her body heat.
This was the first time she had hugged Ning Yu face-to-face.
The two of them were together in this backyard full of corpses and fresh blood.
Embracing each other.
Feeling that Ning Yu was still breathing, Shen Yiyue knew she had probably just fainted from exhaustion.
There were still many things to deal with.
First was the safety issue of the supermarket.
Although the zombies around had been cleared by Snapback Man's gang, the strong smell of blood here needed to be dealt with.
Otherwise, if it drifted far, it would inevitably attract zombies.
The protection of the supermarket's front door was also a problem. The three chains had been cut, so they needed to find a way to completely block the front door.
And then there was Ning Yu. Her bandages were dirty, and her serious injuries needed further treatment.
There was a lot to do, so Shen Yiyue immediately sprang into action.
Now that Ning Yu was unconscious, she had to act quickly. While Ning Yu was weak, she herself would be Ning Yu's shield.
Just like how Ning Yu had protected her earlier!
After gently placing Ning Yu in her own bedroom, Shen Yiyue prepared to go and solve the front door problem first.
Taking her long knife, she walked to the supermarket's front door when she suddenly heard a rustling sound.
It sounded like someone was taking things.
She didn't rush out immediately, but carefully observed from the shadows:
It was four women, two of whom she had seen before - the ones who had knocked on the door at noon!
But they posed no threat, so Shen Yiyue stepped out quickly with her knife, her eyes cold.
The four women were frantically stuffing things into their pockets and bags - food and daily necessities from the supermarket.
Seeing Shen Yiyue approach with a knife, they all froze.
Where were the people inside? Where were the boss and the bodyguards?
Now it was Shen Yiyue who came out - had they all died inside?
"I'll give you 10 seconds to put everything down and get out of here!"
Shen Yiyue raised her knife in warning.
She knew these women were probably Snapback Man's accomplices, although they were likely coerced.
But now she needed her strength for other things and didn't want to waste it on these few people.
The four women looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncertainty and fear.
Suddenly, one of them took the lead, kneeling down and kowtowing to her while crying:
"Please... we... we were forced to do this. Just let us take some food!"
The other three women immediately followed suit:
"Yes, please! We haven't eaten for days!"
"5!"
"4!"
Shen Yiyue ignored their pleas completely. She didn't think they were innocent at all.
Seeing that Shen Yiyue was still counting down mercilessly, the four women exchanged glances and suddenly revealed vicious expressions:
"We'll die if we leave anyway, let's attack her together! Kill her!"
The four of them got up and lunged at Shen Yiyue, ready to fight to the death.
Unfortunately, they had no real fighting skills, otherwise they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Shen Yiyue took down three of them with just three swift knife strikes, her movements efficient and ruthless.
The last woman was now filled with regret. Terrified, she sat on the ground and crawled backward rapidly:
"I'm leaving... I'm leaving! Please spare me, please!"
Her face was covered in tears and snot, completely unlike her vicious expression from moments ago.
Shen Yiyue ignored her pleas, feeling that even the countdown earlier had been a waste of time.
She stepped forward and finished her off with one strike.
The lock on the supermarket's door handle wasn't broken; Yellow Hair Man must have used tools to open it.
So after closing the door, Shen Yiyue gathered various shelves and stacked them densely behind the door, effectively blocking it completely.
Next, she piled all the corpses together, poured oil over them, and set them on fire.
This would prevent them from rotting and smelling, which could attract zombies.
However, for some reason, she couldn't find Snapback Man's corpse.
Finally, she checked the windows and other areas again to ensure they hadn't been damaged, leaving no opportunities for intruders.
It was about time to tend to Ning Yu's injuries. Ning Yu had taught her these skills, and she had learned and remembered them carefully.
But just then, Shen Yiyue heard a faint chewing sound!
Her eyes narrowed - it was the sound of a zombie eating human flesh!
She perked up her ears and listened carefully for a moment. The sound was coming from the warehouse.
Shen Yiyue gripped her knife tightly and slowly crept towards the warehouse.
As soon as she opened the door, the scene before her left her dumbfounded!
In the warehouse was Snapback Man, lying on the floor covered in blood.
But he was still alive, his eyes wide open with despair.
The tendons in his hands and feet had been brutally severed, and he was severely injured, rendering him completely immobile. He could only struggle slightly.
On his leg was a decaying zombie without its lower body!
It was slowly gnawing on his thigh.
Snapback Man was in excruciating pain but could only make "aba aba" sounds. It seemed his tongue and vocal cords had been dealt with by Ning Yu.
The zombie's teeth weren't in good condition, so it was eating very slowly.
This was also Ning Yu's handiwork - she seemed to have deliberately knocked out some of the zombie's teeth.
To make chewing more difficult for it.
It would probably take Snapback Man quite a while to die.
Shen Yiyue hadn't expected that when the dark-side silver-haired little girl mentioned the "main course," this is what she meant.
But she couldn't help but wonder.
So much time had passed; Snapback Man should have long been infected by the virus and turned into a zombie himself.
Why was he still alive?
Had Ning Yu given him something to eat?
Snapback Man also saw Shen Yiyue opening the warehouse door.
He twisted anxiously but could barely move.
His eyes conveyed pleading and urgency, tears streaming down his face.
His mouth opened and closed, only able to make "aba aba" sounds.
Shen Yiyue knew he was begging her to kill him.
Indeed, this was the ultimate torture.
But no matter what, he had to pay the price for his actions.
Shen Yiyue didn't look at him again, but slowly walked out.
The warehouse door slammed shut with a bang.
Closed.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
