Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 48

Later, when superpower users in the military rose, many insanely operated private bases were seized, but not only was Zhao Zhenxiang’s base not seized, it was actually incorporated into the military, and Zhao Zhenxiang was even granted a military rank, which also had to do with his strict management of the base.

Zhao Zhenxiang and his son Zhao Yan were a true contrast, the father a hero and the son a coward; yet, despite being shrewd at all times, Zhao Zhenxiang was completely infatuated with his son, never disciplining him otherwise.

Zhao Yan was narrow-minded and lacked a big-picture perspective, and he had a strong desire for revenge. His leg, one could say, was indirectly lost because of Li Man. If Li Man hadn’t coveted Lin Shuangshuang’s Qingque Sword, he wouldn’t have gone to that place and met Red Jade. Let alone the recent incident where Li Man abandoned him like an object to Lin Shuangshuang, if it weren’t for Lin Shuangshuang’s quick reflexes, Zhao Yan would have already been dead.

Lin Shuangshuang stared at Zhao Yan, who was desperately pleading with her, yet in his eyes, there was undisguised hatred. She suddenly felt that if she sent Zhao Yan to Zhao Zhenxiang’s base, with Zhao Yan’s narrow-mindedness and Zhao Zhenxiang’s protectiveness, this person who had been Li Man’s greatest support for a long time might become Li Man’s downfall! Even if it couldn’t kill Li Man, Zhao Zhenxiang’s anger and Zhao Yan’s hatred would certainly cause a lot of trouble for Li Man!

Lin Shuangshuang decided not to kill Zhao Yan but instead send him to his father Zhao Zhenxiang’s hands. At least, it would help kill Li Man. After Li Man was dead, she could then kill Zhao Yan. Honestly, Lin Shuangshuang was somewhat afraid of Li Man’s scheming, but she was fully confident and assured in killing Zhao Yan, so she didn’t care about letting Zhao Yan bounce around for a while!

Lin Shuangshuang remembered that Zhao Yan’s father’s base wasn’t far from here, because when Zhao Yan ran away from home, he didn’t go too far. It would be easy to send him back; just drop him off at Zhao Zhenxiang’s base on the way.

However, Lin Shuangshuang’s plan relied somewhat on her foresight from her previous life, which was hard to explain. Li Wenbo was still waiting for her answer. Looking at Zhao Yan, who was crying in panic, Lin Shuangshuang had to pretend to be a Holy Mother.

”Bring him along. We can put him on Red Jade’s back while traveling; it doesn’t take any effort, and we’re not short of his share of food.” Lin Shuangshuang said indifferently, with a face of nonchalance. Li Wenbo nodded and didn’t object.

Besides the past grudges between Lin Shuangshuang and Zhao Yan, no one else had a vendetta against Zhao Yan. Moreover, because Zhao Yan was discarded by Li Man, everyone had a small amount of sympathy for him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have tolerated Zhao Yan lingering around for so long, and Zhao Yan could take care of himself. It was only Red Jade who had to carry a bit more luggage, which meant nothing weight-wise for the current Red Jade!

Thinking of Red Jade, Lin Shuangshuang couldn’t help but look towards the mound of insects, seeing Red Jade chomping on insects with crunching sounds, while using its sharp front paws to slice open a bunch of ant legs. Meanwhile, Mi Lu was lovingly scooping the meat from the ant legs that Red Jade had sliced open for Doumi.

Doumi was very happy, purring while eating, occasionally rubbing its big head against Mi Lu and Red Jade. Lin Shuangshuang watched the harmonious scene, twitching her lips, unsure of when Red Jade and Doumi started to fancy each other.

Even though Red Jade often competed for affection with Doumi from Lin Shuangshuang, it spoiled Doumi quite a bit, allowing Doumi to climb onto its head besides Lin Shuangshuang. Doumi liked to eat the meat from ant legs, and each time Red Jade ate, it would slice open the ant legs for Doumi, much like an indulgent mother.

Spiders are one of the insect world’s few species with strong maternal instincts. Lin Shuangshuang suspected that Red Jade was treating Doumi like its own offspring because it was about to hatch babies soon, overwhelmed with maternal instincts.

”Boss, you promised earlier to help Song Yuhang protect Dr. Ma until you reach the destination and then leave for the Capital. Are you still planning to go to the Capital?” Li Wenbo asked after shooing away Zhao Yan, who had a face of relief, watching him crawl away with his arms, before turning to ask Lin Shuangshuang.

”Yes, my parents are still in the Capital, as well as Mi Lu’s parents. Regardless, I must go to the Capital once.”

Lin Shuangshuang glanced at Li Wenbo, who seemed to be in thought, and continued, ”I know you want to go to Song Yuhang’s base. Having acquaintances in the base certainly reduces a lot of trouble. Once I return and find my parents as well as Mi Lu’s, we can go to Song Yuhang’s base anytime. With our skills and with Red Jade, who can both fight and help carry luggage, there’s nowhere we can’t go. There’s no need to be sad over temporary separation!”

Lin Shuangshuang didn’t melodramatically suggest for him to leave for Song Yuhang if he didn’t want to go to the Capital. Such words can be very hurtful, implying a lack of trust in a companion. Once you’ve decided to be companions, you naturally advance and retreat together.

As expected, Li Wenbo felt relieved because of Lin Shuangshuang’s words, and with a slightly embarrassed tone, said, ”Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to go to the Capital. I’m just a bit uneasy about it.”

Li Wenbo couldn’t help but scratch his cheek. ”We know nothing about the situation in the Capital, but it’s certain that the Capital of a country must be filled with influential and powerful masters. Although our combat power is decent, it’s hard to find a foothold without connections. Unless we work under someone, but I don’t want to live a life of being controlled, and with your personality, you wouldn’t tolerate anyone dictating over you either. However, if we go to Song Yuhang’s place, it’s different. We have a good relationship with him. Seeing as he’s been tasked with escorting someone as important as Dr. Ma, his position must be significant. We wouldn’t expect much from him, just to ensure we’re not marginalized or subjected to minor schemes. I think that wherever we end up, things won’t be too bad!”

Lin Shuangshuang nodded. Having experienced the events of her past life, Lin Shuangshuang would never again be led or join anyone else’s team, no matter how powerful they were. Also, Lin Shuangshuang didn’t think her future self would be weaker than the major players of her previous life!

Patting Li Wenbo on the shoulder, Lin Shuangshuang said calmly, ”I understand your thoughts. Since we’re teammates and companions, I won’t doubt you, nor will I be overly cautious. You don’t have to be so careful.”

”Boss, how come you’re so gentle today, speaking so many words and even comforting someone? I always thought you were a cold, aloof person who only chatted with grunts and hums!”

Li Wenbo was a bit moved by Lin Shuangshuang’s sudden warm comfort, feeling a bit shy as his minor thoughts were seen through. Unable to hold back his nature, he teased Lin Shuangshuang. The next moment, he paid for his careless words with Lin Shuangshuang kicking him without hesitation!

Lin Shuangshuang’s face was darkened. Was today a water-reverse day? Just by saying a few more words, everyone came to undermine and tease her!
