This was a matter of karma, and it had to be resolved by her own hands.
Chu Muhuan walked out alongside her.
“Xiaoxun, during that time you were alone in the apocalypse, you must have suffered a great deal, didn’t you?“
She used to be so delicate, yet now she even dared to kill.
A slight ripple stirred in Chaoxun’s heart.
“It is the apocalypse, after all. Some changes are bound to happen.“
“But other than being pushed into the zombie horde, I didn’t actually suffer much.“
With Jiang Chuan along the way, her food and clothing had been fully taken care of.
Indeed, she hadn’t suffered.
As Chaoxun and Chu Muhuan returned to the villa, they spotted someone waiting near the entrance from a distance.
Chu Muhuan frowned as he looked at Jiang Chuan and Yu Shun before him.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?“
Jiang Chuan beamed with a smile.
“Brother Chu, I am Sister Xun’s lackey, Jiang Chuan. I’m the one who accompanied Sister Xun all along the way here.“
Hearing this, Chu Muhuan felt somewhat bewildered.
What did this mean?
Could it be that Xiaoxun didn’t like Lou Lihan and had taken a fancy to this lad instead?
He sized him up, feeling that Jiang Chuan was inferior to Lou Lihan in every way.
Though he wasn’t ugly and his capabilities were passable.
But someone like Lou Lihan was a one-in-a-thousand catch.
Yu Shun then stepped forward.
“Colonel Chu, my name is Yu Shun. I am Miss’s person.“
Hearing this, Chu Muhuan cast a hesitant glance at his younger sister.
Another one?
Had Xiaoxun been so deeply hurt by Lou Lihan that she had decided to look at the entire forest instead?
This Yu Shun was also very good-looking, but he had no special abilities.
Seeing his misunderstanding, Chaoxun explained:
“Older Brother, they are the ones I selected to take care of my daily life.“
Upon hearing this, Chu Muhuan subconsciously said:
“Your older brother can take good care of you too. Send them away.“
Who could possibly know how to look after his younger sister better than him?
Chaoxun smiled.
“Older Brother, when would you ever find the time?“
Chu Muhuan thought about it and realized she was right.
Currently, there were many matters waiting for him to handle and reorganize within the base.
Chaoxun looked at Jiang Chuan and Yu Shun:
“You two, come inside with me. Do you have a place to stay yet?“
Before Jiang Chuan could speak, Yu Shun said:
“Miss, I do not have a place to stay. May I live with you?“
Chaoxun: “Very well, you can stay on the first floor.“
The villa was vast, with four floors in total, meaning there was plenty of room to spare.
Besides, back in the Celestial Spirit Continent, as the young master of the Refinement Sect, she had countless servants around her and was well-accustomed to having people attend to her at all times.
She had long since grown used to it.
Jiang Chuan glared at Yu Shun, annoyed at how quickly the fellow had reacted, and hastily followed up:
“Sister Xun, I don’t have a place to stay either.“
He immediately added, “Sister Xun, now that we are at the base, I can cook even more delicious food for you.“
Chaoxun agreed that his culinary skills were indeed quite good.
“Alright, you stay as well.“
A grin spread across Jiang Chuan’s face.
Having a skill was indeed a good thing; it allowed one to get by even in the apocalypse.
Chu Muhuan felt somewhat hesitant.
“Xiaoxun, letting them live in your villa… is it really appropriate?“
Chaoxun: “It is fine, I am already used to it.“
Someone had to make her bed, wash her clothes, and do the chores, after all.
Thinking of this, she recalled there were two others who had washed and dried her clothes along the way to the base. What were their names again?
“Jiang Chuan, where are those two people?“
Jiang Chuan instantly understood who she was referring to.
“Sister Xun, you mean Zhang Yuan and Jiang Qing, right? They are ability users and plan to join the base’s forces.“
Chaoxun nodded.
Everyone had their own ambitions. Since they did not plan to continue following her, joining the base was a good option too.
Chu Muhuan cast a highly critical look at Jiang Chuan and Yu Shun.
“Since Xiaoxun is letting you stay, you had better behave yourselves.“
Jiang Chuan smiled, “Brother Chu, rest assured, I will definitely behave.“
Besides, with Sister Xun’s strength, if he stepped out of line, his neck would probably be snapped in the next second.
Or he would be devoured directly by the green vine.
Chu Muhuan still had many matters to attend to. After issuing a warning to Jiang Chuan and Yu Shun, he prepared to depart.
Chaoxun called out to him, “Older Brother, are you going to see the invader and the base’s traitor? I want to go too.“
Lou Lihan still needed to remain submerged in the pool, so there was no rush.
She might as well reclaim Yu Shun’s ability as soon as possible.
That way, Yu Shun would be able to do more things for her in the future.
She kept no useless people by her side.
Chu Muhuan nodded, though he was somewhat curious.
“Xiaoxun, what business do you have with them?”
Chaoxun called out to Yu Shun.
“That invader, Yu Tao, has some history with Yu Shun. His special ability was plundered from Yu Shun. I am going to help him take his ability back.”
Chu Muhuan was astonished.
“A plundered special ability can actually be taken back?”
Chaoxun smiled.
“Yes, I can do it.”
Whether anyone else could was another story, but she certainly could.
Jiang Chuan wanted to tag along too, but Chaoxun had him stay behind.
“Clean up the villa, especially my master bedroom. Also, make dinner a bit nicer; I’ve invited Grandfather and Older Brother to join us.”
“Do not go near the basement level.”
Jiang Chuan immediately complied.
“Sister Xun, I guarantee the mission will be completed! Leave it all to me!”
See, Sister Xun still thought more highly of him.
What did Yu Shun even amount to?
No one could shake his position by Sister Xun’s side!
Chaoxun followed Chu Muhuan to the base’s special detention sector, a facility specifically constructed to lock up rogue ability users.
Yu Tao and Wu Cheng were held inside.
One was an invader and the other was a traitor of the base, imprisoned in adjacent detention chambers.
The earth spike inside Yu Tao’s body had not yet been removed.
When Chaoxun and the others arrived, the two were busy pointing fingers at each other.
“Wu Cheng, you useless trash! The commander-in-chief’s granddaughter has such a high-level special ability, why didn’t you mention it earlier?”
Wu Cheng was even angrier.
“You are the useless one! I leaked so much information to you and even poisoned the water. All you had to face was an injured Chu Muhuan, yet you still couldn’t take him down.”
“Besides, how could I have known that the commander-in-chief’s granddaughter would return at the critical moment, let alone become this formidable?”
Even now, Wu Cheng could not understand how Chaoxun had returned to the base alive.
This was completely different from the memories of his previous life.
He had originally intended to play the fisherman reaping the benefits of the clash, but now he had ended up weaving his own shroud.
He hoped the base would spare his life for the sake of his Level 6 ability.
Yu Tao sneered.
“Fool.”
Wu Cheng couldn’t be bothered to argue with him.
“At least I still have a chance to live; you have absolutely none.”
“What’s a dying man got to talk so much for?”
Chu Muhuan spoke up, “You might not necessarily live either.”
Wu Cheng’s heart tightened as he watched him and Chaoxun walk over together.
Chu Muhuan introduced the detention cell to Chaoxun.
“This detention chamber is constructed from a special material. Anyone locked inside will have their special abilities suppressed.”
Chaoxun nodded.
“Who designed this? It is quite well made.”
Chu Muhuan: “It was Aunt Ming.”
Chaoxun understood.
It was Lou Lihan’s mother.
