Fang Chang was stunned. “You can do that?”

The zombie girl lowered her head and looked herself over. After a moment, she nodded in satisfaction and giggled. “See? I don’t have any bones anymore.”

Looks like she still hadn’t given up. The girl was beautiful, with a certain innocent charm—her Charisma stat might even be higher than Fang Chang’s. But whenever Fang Chang remembered that she was a zombie, a chill ran down her spine.

But she had another idea!

Fang Chang hugged Li Zirong tightly and said softly, “I already have someone I love—her!”

The girl tilted her head and smiled. “Then I’ll just kill her!”

She was smiling, but she wasn’t joking with Fang Chang at all. As she spoke, she raised her hand. Pale blue energy shot from her slender, fair fingers, stretching and splitting until it formed a set of razor-sharp claws.

Fang Chang leaped back in fright. Li Zirong might be a handful, but she owed her a great deal. Fang Chang couldn’t just stand by and watch the girl kill her.

The girl blinked, puzzled. “Why did you move away? I’d never hurt you.”

“But you’d hurt her!”

At that, the girl withdrew her claws and smiled sweetly. “Then do you like me?”

Fang Chang couldn’t follow her logic. She was already secretly channeling the Demonic Power inside her. Demonflame flickered gently around her shoes, ready to erupt at any moment.

“As if!”

The girl tilted her head and took a step closer. She wasn’t tall—in fact, she was petite—but Fang Chang felt as if a mountain were bearing down on her. Even the zombie Mother Nest had never felt this imposing!

“You don’t like me? Why don’t you like me? Is it because of her?”

Overwhelmed by the girl’s presence, Fang Chang broke into a cold sweat. Her back was soaked, but she neither handed Li Zirong over nor answered the girl’s question. Either way, she’d be putting Li Zirong in mortal danger.

The girl parted her pink lips. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Does that mean you agree?”

“N-no!” Fang Chang said, forcing herself to stand her ground. “You have to let feelings grow. Who falls for someone at first sight?”

The girl puffed out her cheeks, looking confused. “But I fell for you at first sight!”

She sounded like she was confessing her love, but Fang Chang’s scalp prickled.

This was an insanely powerful zombie. She’d grown by eating countless people. She was a monster...

“But I don’t like you. Feelings take time to grow. I didn’t feel anything for you at first sight...”

“Then we’ll take our time!”

Smiling, the girl reached out gently. To Fang Chang’s horror, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the girl’s palm, pulling her in. She couldn’t resist it.

Her little leather shoes instantly transformed into high heels. Their sharp heels dug into the ground to increase friction, while she also strengthened the gravitational field around her body. But none of it could stop the girl. When she saw that Fang Chang wasn’t coming to her, she simply went over herself.

Resisting the pull was already difficult enough. Dodging the girl’s hand was out of the question. Fang Chang could only watch as the girl grabbed her, then swung her over her shoulder along with Li Zirong.

The girl’s shoulder exerted that same pulling force. No matter how Fang Chang struggled, she couldn’t break free.

“Hey! Let go of me! Let go! I’m a man! I’m not the Mother Nest!”

The girl paid no attention to her babbling. She looked around at the dejected evolved zombies and spoke softly. “From now on, she’s the queen.”

Every zombie lowered its head.

Using the girl’s head as a brace, Fang Chang pushed hard, trying to get down. It was pointless. The girl’s skin was soft, but her body was solid and immovable. Fang Chang struggled for ages, yet the girl didn’t even tilt her head.

In the end, Fang Chang gave up.

She held Li Zirong close, not daring to imagine what the other girl’s face would look like when she woke up and realized she was in a zombie’s lair.

She’d definitely want to tear Fang Chang apart, wouldn’t she?

If only she’d stayed in the Void Space bubble until Li Zirong woke up. The zombie girl was absurdly strong, but Li Zirong wasn’t weak either. Once she activated the Doomsday Valkyrie, she could take out even the zombie Mother Nest in a single blow.

The girl didn’t seem able to fly. She simply carried Fang Chang and sprinted, while every zombie they encountered moved aside to clear a path.

Fang Chang couldn’t help wondering who she really was.

She definitely wasn’t an ordinary evolved zombie!

Fang Chang had a chart in her mind ranking the combat strength of evolved zombies. The zombie Mother Nest was unquestionably at the top—but the girl felt even more powerful than it did.

So what exactly was she?

Before long, they reached the girl’s lair.

It turned out to be a country-style manor. There were no ragged, foul-smelling zombies around it. Instead, flowers and plants grew everywhere, filling the air with a faint fragrance.

She entered through the main gate. As expected, the furniture inside was in disarray and covered in dust. It wasn’t until they reached a huge room upstairs that things changed.

No. “Changed” wasn’t the right word.

Everything had been turned upside down!

The room was packed with plushies and figurines, and its wallpaper was pink. There were no bones scattered everywhere, as Fang Chang had imagined. Instead, the place was filled with the unmistakable vibe of a shut-in otaku girl.

The zombie girl set Fang Chang down on a huge heart-shaped bed, then skipped over to the window and gently drew the curtains. She abruptly turned around, wearing the sort of smile villains in TV dramas give when they’re about to defile a girl.

“Hehehe. Now it’s just the two of us!”

Fang Chang could hardly believe those words had come from the mouth of such an innocent-looking girl.

She could hardly believe she was saying this herself, either. “What are you going to do? Don’t do anything crazy! Besides, there are more than just the two of us here, right?”

The girl suddenly vanished and reappeared beside her. She snatched Li Zirong away, then leaned in, slowly bringing her face toward Li Zirong’s.

Fang Chang panicked. The girl looked innocent, and her behavior seemed perfectly normal, but she was still a zombie. Was she getting that close to Li Zirong because she was about to eat her?

At the thought, Demonflame ignited. Fang Chang was going to rescue Li Zirong.

Just then, Li Zirong slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was a face moving closer and closer. Even if it was devastatingly beautiful, no one could take that kind of surprise in stride.

She screamed and shoved forward.

Fang Chang stared, wide-eyed, as Li Zirong—who’d always seemed so powerful—gave it everything she had. The girl didn’t budge an inch.

The girl gave a wicked smile and smacked her lips, like Bucciarati with Rongrong. After a moment, she looked up at Fang Chang.

“Her skin isn’t as soft as mine!”

Fang Chang was stunned. Li Zirong was stunned too!

Fang Chang was stunned by the girl’s persistence. Li Zirong was stunned because she had no idea what was going on.

I closed my eyes during a fiery battle with the zombie Mother Nest, so why did I open them to an 18+ scene?

Not only was she wrapped in nothing but a blanket, but the innocent-looking girl in front of her was practically dressed like she wasn’t wearing anything at all!
