Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner In The Apocalypse Chapter 41

In fact, one of the main reasons why both, Chen He and Liang Peng, were furious with Qiao Long otherthan his inhumane mistreatment was because he had thrown several people alive to the zombies. Tocommit such a cruel act only six days after the world changed one needed to be extremely vicious andhave a heart with no feelings for anyone in particular.

So what about what Bai Zemin had just done? They had personally seen him throw Qiao Long invalidto be eaten alive by the zombies. They heard his screams of terror and heart-wrenching pain everytime a zombie scratched or bit him.

However, even when they were all shuddering in fear in the back, Bai Zemin had always been watchingeverything with indifference… From Chen He and Liang Peng’s point of view, only a cruel person whohad probably already killed in the past could kill another living being without compassion and withoutflinching. Of course, there could be other reasons as well… But it was always easier to think of theworst in people; this was a human quality after all.

While it was impossible for Bai Zemin to know the thoughts of the two men in front of him, consideringthat their eyes were somewhat erratic just like the look that 90% of the survivors were giving him at themoment, Bai Zemin could judge and get an idea of what they were feeling.

However, what surprised him remarkably was that the gaze in Shangguan Bing Xue’s eyes had notchanged as she looked at him. There wasn’t even a hint of fear in those bright blue eyes… In contrast,there was even less disgust in her gaze.

Bai Zemin stood up and dusted off his knees before looking at her and asking with a raised eyebrow,“You’re not scared of me?”

“Scared? Of what?” Shangguan Bing Xue looked at him dubiously before looking at Qiao Long’slifeless corpse and asking rhetorically, “I should be afraid of you for killing this scum? It’s not like youkilled an innocent person and just… You took out the trash. Is there something wrong with it?”

Bai Zemin was really shocked by her words. However, soon he shook his head softly before chucklinglightly and walking away, Unfortunately, before the thought ‘this woman is interesting’ appeared in hismind, Shangguan Bing Xue’s voice stopped him.

“Wait a second.”

With a dubious look, he turned around and looked at her, waiting to hear what she had to say.However, all Shangguan Bing Xue did was stretch a hand forward and stared at him.

Bai Zemin looked at her without imperfections white hand and then looked into her eyes as he askedwith a slight frown, “What’s wrong?”

For the first time in his life, Bai Zemin saw Shangguan Bing Xue smile when he asked that question.Her smile was beautiful to the point where it seemed to have the ability to freeze the entire world as noone would be willing to miss the chance to see it; in fact, all of Shangguan Bing Xue’s overall beautyhad easily increased by 100% just by smiling.

Unfortunately, Bai Zemin did not have much time to appreciate such a beautiful sight as the followingwords pronounced by Shangguan Bing Xue completely destroyed it.

“Don’t you think you owe me a treasure? For better or worse, the reason you were able to take care ofthis Qiao Long trash was because I exhausted most of his Mana. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been soeasy and with his skill he could have run away.”

Bai Zemin’s face soured when he heard her words and that beautiful smile suddenly seemed to havetransformed into the smile of a cunning little fox.

Indeed, what Shangguan Bing Xue had just said was true. If it wasn’t because she drained most ofQiao Long’s Mana and entertained him, Bai Zemin might never have discovered the true nature of hisskill and if Qiao Long made any unforeseen attacks or wanted to flee it was very likely that Bai Zemin

would not be able to stop him; after all, although Bai Zemin’s Agility was high, with his Air Manipulationskill Qiao Long could exploit astonishing speeds for a short period of time.

Besides, Bai Zemin might also have been forced to expose more than he wanted to… Of course, ifQiao Long dared to approach Bai Zemin, no matter how good his martial arts were; in front of BaiZemin, who was basically a special forces soldier after learning a roll of skills, he could easily crushhim.

To Shangguan Bing Xue’s surprise, Bai Zemin also smiled back at her. He stretched his hand forwardand said ‘kindly’, “Sure. Here you go.”

Shangguan Bing Xue took the dagger with a frown and looked at Bai Zemin bitterly. The dagger was agood item, but what she wanted was the necklace; even without knowing what it was, everyone knewthat the accessories were especially valuable.

Without waiting for an answer, Bai Zemin went into the building under everyone’s scared gaze. Everytime he passed next to a survivor, that survivor would flinch and turn their eyes to the ground in fear.

“Tsk…” Shangguan Bing Xue clicked her tongue but still kept the dagger to herself. As she waspreparing to enter the building and organize the remaining survivors as well as the supplies that werecontrolled by Qiao Long before, she noticed that Chen He was looking at her in a state of shock.

“Chen He, are you okay?” She asked with a frown.

“… I’m fine,” Chen He forced a smile and nodded slightly.

“Is that so…?” Shangguan Bing Xue realized that something was wrong but her mood was not the bestso she simply nodded and walked into the building without giving the matter too much thought.

Although Qiao Long had died and she had acquired a treasure for her efforts, the reality was that ChenHe’s lack of courage had bothered her a little. She knew that if he had not hesitated and really given ithis all, Qiao Long might not have casually toyed with them; however, Chen He did not have thecourage to shoot to kill, which gave Qiao Long the opportunity to capture her and, if not for Liang Peng,she might have been in trouble.

It was also for this reason that Chen He did not tell her what he was thinking and simply followed herwith a gloomy face. After all, how could he not know about his mistakes?

However, what was bothering the talented archer more than his own personality was that the womanhe loved since he was a child actually smiled at another man. To other people, this might not be a bigdeal, but Chen He knew that Shangguan Bing Xue’s smiles were more valuable and scarcer thandiamonds. The fact that she smiled, even if it was a smile with hidden intentions, was a big surprise tohim.

Gradually, Chen He began to realize the differences and similarities Shangguan Bing Xue had witheach core member of the group and, to his dismay, after recalling past events, Chen He realized thatShangguan Bing Xue and Bai Zemin, regardless of how much they disliked or doubted about eachother, were the most alike from a certain point of view.
