Chapter 41 adds another reader
On the way back, Li Long and Zhao Hu took meticulous care of Wu Mingyue in order to get her to forgive them as soon as possible.
Under their careful care, Wu Mingyue gradually forgave them. It wasn't that she was a saint, but these two were just too naive, making Wu Mingyue feel guilty.
However, she couldn't understand why Bai Feng'er had pushed her.
Am I not taking good enough care of her? Or did I accidentally offend her in some way?
"Captain, I want to see Bai Feng'er and ask her why she did this." Wu Mingyue had almost recovered, so she went to Lin Feng to ask to see Bai Feng'er.
Ever since Wu Mingyue was scratched, Bai Feng'er has been kept under guard by their team.
“Okay, but I’ll go with you.” Lin Feng nodded.
The two went together to the place where Bai Feng'er was being held, where she was locked in an empty room in the temporary rest area.
Bai Feng'er is not as glamorous as before. Ever since the incident where she pushed someone, no one in the team fawns over her anymore, and all the meticulous care she used to receive has disappeared.
She now sits blankly in her room, like a flower that has withered from lack of water.
"Bai Feng'er, I don't understand why you pushed me? Haven't I been good enough to you?" Wu Mingyue was genuinely confused; she had always treated her like an idol.
"You're not dead yet?" Bai Feng'er seemed to only come to her senses after hearing Wu Mingyue's words.
"You're good to me, isn't that what you should do? I'm their goddess! What makes you think you deserve their favor? I'm already popular enough, why do you need theirs?" Hearing Wu Mingyue's question, she answered without hesitation.
"That's it? Just because the other people in the team were nicer to me, you're pushing me to see zombies?" Wu Mingyue asked incredulously.
For such a trivial reason, the other party wanted to kill her.
"Isn't that enough? I'm a beautiful and famous star, what makes you think you can compare to me!" Bai Feng'er said, looking Wu Mingyue up and down with disdain.
Wu Mingyue was so angry she almost laughed. "Big sister, don't you even know what time it is?"
This is the apocalypse, there are zombies. So what if she's a big star? She's a superhuman!
Upon hearing Wu Mingyue's words, Bai Feng'er became somewhat frantic. "Who are you calling 'big sister'?! I, Bai Feng'er, am as beautiful as a fairy! What right do you, a mere girl, have to talk to me like that! They should be taking care of me, and those ordinary people should be fawning over me, they should be my lapdogs. If it weren't for the apocalypse, they wouldn't even have the chance to see me!"
Li Long and Zhao Hu were even more distressed after hearing this, realizing that Bai Feng'er thought this way about them.
They had originally intended to persuade Bai Feng'er to apologize to Wu Mingyue after hearing that Wu Mingyue and the captain had come to see Bai Feng'er, but they never expected to hear such hurtful words.
Wu Mingyue finally understood why Bai Feng'er hated her so much, to the point of wanting to push her to the zombies. It was all because of her own jealousy.
Listening to her current excuses, she doesn't seem to think she's done anything wrong at all.
In her words, it was all their fault; they were the ones who should take care of her and flatter her. But why? Just because of her beauty?
In the apocalypse, beauty is the least desirable thing.
Wu Mingyue felt deflated upon thinking this. Forget it, why bother arguing with someone like that? She didn't refute Bai Feng'er's words anymore and turned to leave.
"You're leaving? Why are you leaving? Let me go! You lowly people should be serving me properly!" Bai Feng'er became even more frantic when she saw Wu Mingyue was about to leave.
"Inferior people? Hmph, the dynasty has long since perished, what are you dreaming about! We kindly took care of you, but you treat us like slaves!" Li Long couldn't help but speak sarcastically.
As the captain was right, they were fools. They complained about their teammates over a woman. Mingyue was too kind to them, forgiving them after asking them to do a simple task.
Li Long and Zhao Hu decided that from now on, they would treat Mingyue even better.
When Yu Cancan found out why Bai Feng'er wanted to harm Wu Mingyue, she couldn't help but get angry. "Is she sick? How can she treat everyone like her mother and only dote on her!"
Seeing her sister's indignant state, Wu Mingyue tried to persuade her again.
Taking advantage of her improved condition, Wu Mingyue quickly let the sisters in the group know that she was safe.
After her explanation, the people in the group realized that she had actually gone through such a dangerous experience.
"Be more careful in the future. Even your own people aren't necessarily safe in your world!" Lin Liuyi and the others couldn't really help, so they could only give Wu Mingyue some more advice.
Wu Mingyue realized that it was fortunate that her sisters had given her the pills, otherwise she would have been dead.
She'll definitely be more careful in the future; she'll learn from her mistake.
Long Mingyue was very interested in the zombies described by Wu Mingyue. According to her, these zombies were a bit like ghouls and a bit like monsters, but since they were separated by two worlds, she couldn't study them herself.
However, she hadn't figured out how to use the crystal core Wu Mingyue gave her last time, so there was no rush.
While Lin Liuyi and the others were comforting Wu Mingyue, she was unaware that the system had quietly found her a new reader.
Ouyang Mingyue unleashed a sword strike, but unexpectedly, the blade pierced right through the book in front of her, while the book remained unharmed and still floated before her.
She was shocked. "Could it be an unparalleled martial arts technique?!"
Thinking of this, she tried to open the book in front of her with her hand, "Cultivation of Immortality?"
Ouyang Mingyue's eyes lit up. Legend has it that martial arts, when cultivated to their peak, can shatter the void, but unfortunately she had never seen anyone in this world achieve such a feat.
Upon seeing that the mysterious book contained cultivation techniques, she quickly picked up her knife and began to study it carefully.
"Why does this sound like a storyteller's tale?" Ouyang Mingyue became more and more confused as she read.
However, she also saw the tipping button and tried pressing it, but what should she tip?
Oh right, she remembered something she had recently acquired, so she quickly ran into the house and gave it away as a reward, wondering how the recipient would react.
Given that the book is about cultivating immortality, Ouyang Mingyue guessed that the other party must be a senior with superb martial arts skills.
So Lin Liuyi received another tip, "A book?"
Perhaps because it was a book, the system couldn't easily divide it in half, so the whole thing was given to Lin Liuyi.
"Sunflower. The Peach Blossom Manual?" Lin Liuyi's mouth dropped open.
Who hasn't seen a martial arts film knows about the Sunflower Manual? She almost misread it, so is this reader from the martial arts world?
"Get rich! Do you think this thing is real?" Lin Liuyi didn't dare to open it.
Even though the names are different, she was afraid that if she opened the book she would see that classic quote, she would feel a little overwhelmed.
"Host, according to the system's calculations, this book might be real. But you don't need to worry, right?" Clearly, the system, having surfed the internet, knew what Lin Liuyi was worried about.
Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Liu realized, "Oh right, I'm not a man, so even if I said that, it wouldn't make any difference."
Thinking of this, she swallowed hard and opened the martial arts manual.
She glanced at it and could be completely certain that the new reader came from the world of martial arts, because the manual she had given him was simply too good.
To be precise, this is a book about women, containing not only mental techniques but also knowledge about beauty and skincare.
Just like its name suggests, this book, "The Peach Blossom Manual," will make one's face glow like a peach blossom after practicing its mental techniques. In addition, the beauty and skincare recipes within will make the skin even whiter and more delicate.
This really touched Lin Liuyi's heart. What woman doesn't love beauty? This reader is simply an angel; the gift she gave was truly to her liking.
"Quick, get rich! Quickly add her to the group. I want to ask her if she'd like me to share this with the other girls in the group."
Lin Liuyi is a kind girl who cares about her sisters. Of course, she can't forget to share good things with everyone.
"I'll take care of it right away, but host, I didn't get any energy from this reward." The system said somewhat aggrievedly.
"Okay, okay, I'll remember. Next time they give you a bigger share of the tips, don't you believe me?" Lin Liuyi was eager for the system to invite new readers, and readily agreed to the system's request.
And so, Ouyang Mingyue received an invitation to join the group.
Before she could even look at it closely, a maid came to call her to the council hall, so she simply clicked "agree" first.
