Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Couldn’t Win the Argument, Trembling with Anger and Cold

Thinking about how this was the newly installed door, and to avoid getting trapped inside the house again, she hesitated for half a second before unlocking it.

Forget it. Que Zelian had already kicked down two doors, both indoors and out.

As a door, what an innocent fate to suffer.

She decided to spare the door some mercy.

In the bathroom, Xiao Jinsheng let the warm water slide over her fingertips. Looking at herself in the mirror, she reached up and pulled at her pale cheeks.

Her heart couldn’t help but marvel. Even if she’d transmigrated into a novel, the fact that the face was identical to her own was nothing short of miraculous.

Aside from the appearance, this weak, frail constitution also mirrored her former life as a fragile university student.

As the steam rose and blurred the mirror, to the point where her reflection was no longer discernible, Xiao Jinsheng let out a deep sigh.

Just an hour ago, someone’s life had ended by her hand.

She could remember the fear and panic she’d felt at the time. It had been so brief—she ought to be afraid now, thinking back on it.

But Xiao Jinsheng found herself unsettlingly calm inside.

She thought, Que Zelian wasn’t wrong when he said it.

In a post-apocalyptic world like this, only the fittest survive.

And she, perhaps in her very bones, was suited for such a world.

Whether it was wholeheartedly accepting multiple Beast Husbands, killing Fog Corpses, or taking human lives.

At this moment, Xiao Jinsheng’s state of mind underwent a significant transformation.

Downstairs, Yu Yunxiao, heating up some milk, saw Que Zelian coming down as well and casually reminded him:

"Huaiqing and Su Ye drove to the marketplace. There isn’t much food left at home, and since Xiao Jinsheng has the Space ability, they figured they’d stock up, so there’s enough to eat when we eventually take missions to Mist West."

"Okay," Que Zelian responded, glancing through the window at the darkening sky. "It’s about to rain."

"Let’s hope it doesn’t get foggy again," Yu Yunxiao said worriedly.

He carried both the hot water and milk upstairs, mumbling to himself, "I better go keep watch. One moment of inattention and she might get abducted or attacked again."

Que Zelian: ...

he had to admit Xiao Jinsheng’s unwitting tendency to attract trouble probably wasn’t unjustified.
