” Is that something you need to say? Who would wait for you?” Yu Dong knew that even though Ye Liu was acting like this, he will still wait for her along with the rest until she returned home.

” I see, then I am off!” She waved her hand at Ye Liu and Shen Li who were still serving the porridge to the villagers who were rescued and then around to leave.

Ye Liu hesitated for a while, his face was scrunched up like he was fighting something but then he cupped his mouth and shouted after Yu Dong, ” Take care of yourself, Dong Dong!”

At first, he thought that Yu Dong would not be able to hear him with the loud rustling of the winds and trees but then he saw her turn around and wave at him with a smile.

Yu Dong left with a happy smile on her face but there was someone lurking behind the hideout who wasn’t happy at all. Ah Cy stared at Yu Dong who was going up on the mountain, her lips curled unhappily as she stared at the vanishing back of Yu Dong.

The mer she has been chasing after for so long, the same mer who wouldn’t even take another glance at her was actually trying to catch Yu Dong’s attention? Why!

Apart from her filthy money what exactly did Yu Dong have?

Ah Cy came to get some porridge from Shen Li and Ye Liu, after all, Yu Dong was the one who saved them there was no need to starve them like this right? She thought that as long as she coaxed the two mers carefully, they would give her a bowl of porridge or two but before she could walk over to the spot where they were distributing the porridge, her gaze caught Xiao Lingyu and she paused in her stride.

After seeing everything happen in front of her, Ah Cy was in no mood to go and ask for porridge from Yu Dong’s husbands. She was really her bane, every time that damned woman appeared in front of her, she would make her uncomfortable.

Ah Cy took one glance at Xiao Lingyun who was chatting with his friends and clenched her fingers. Why exactly did he choose Yu Dong and not her?

Feeling uncomfortable, Ah Cy turned around and walked back to the cave where the rest of the villagers were, when Mother Sun saw that her daughter came empty-handed and didn’t bring anything to eat, she immediately pulled a long face and said, ” Why didn’t you bring something for me to eat huh? Can’t you see that I am starving?”

Ah Cy was not in a good mood from the start anyway and when she heard her mother scold her, she immediately blew up and said, ” You do it if you are so clever! The entire women of the village went up the mountain and hunted a few pigeons and small animals, what about you? You stayed here in the cave ordering everyone around, if you are starving then you go and tell that to the village head.”

After letting out some of her steam Ah Cy felt a bit better, she sat down on the hard floor of the cave with an upset expression.

” What’s wrong with you?” Mother Wu asked as she looked at her daughter. ” Why are you so upset?”

” Upset? How can I be not upset? Yu Dong, that b!tch, first she left the two of us to die in the flood and didn’t even turn up to our house for three hours and now she actually snatched the mer, I wanted to hook up with. What a b!tch, she already has so many husbands and there is also Xiao Hua, I don’t believe that she isn’t getting some under-the-bed benefits from that mer or else why would she be so protective of that lowly courtesan?”

” Beauty is something that everyone craves, Ah Cy,” Mother Sun waved her hand dismissing her daughter’s words. ” And what’s good about a mer to be chased like a dog? Remember that mers are the ones who should be listening to their women and not the other way around. You don’t need to worry about anything if you can’t get that mer then you can try on someone else.”

But Ah Cy was only half listening to her mother, she didn’t care about being rejected by the mer what hurt her pride was that the mer who refused to be with her actually went chasing after Yu Dong! Does it not mean that she was worse than Yu Dong?

This was something Ah Cy couldn’t stomach.

Her eyes glinted sharply as she carefully thought everything over, since Yu Dong was willing to snatch the mer that should belong to her then she too will snatch one of her husbands!

Ah Cy’s lips curled in a disdainful smile as she sneered. She will love to see how the villagers would still be able to look up at Yu Dong after she was done turning the hair on Yu Dong’s head green.

…

Yu Dong suddenly felt a chill up her spine as she turned her head to look behind her, she didn’t know why but just now she felt really icky.

” What’s wrong?” Li Li asked as she turned to look at Yu Dong, who shook her head. “It’s nothing… I was just…”

She paused and all of a sudden she smelled a rather familiar scent, one that she has smelled for more than a decade in the apocalypse world then turned to look in the direction from where the smell was coming. ” There is something there.”

Yu Dong pointed to her left and immediately chased after the smell. She knew this scent too well—- it was the scent of a rotting corpse!
