Chapter 188 Why must we divorce?
In an instant, the Prince of Dongping suddenly opened his eyes and quickly tilted his head to the side, barely avoiding the fatal blow that was aimed at his vitals.
However, in a split second, with a muffled "puff," the fierce energy pierced his chest. Dark red blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the surrounding ground red.
Yan Wanwan stared intently, a trace of regret crossing her heart - the previous attack was only a hair's breadth away from hitting the heart.
She quickly mobilized the energy in her body, gathering strength and preparing to launch a second attack.
However, before she could strike again, the scene before her suddenly blurred. The dark red blood seeped into the soil, corroding the roots of the plants underground at an alarming rate.
In just a few breaths, the corrosive force had spread halfway, and the originally surging energy was cut off.
Immediately afterwards, a resounding "boom" erupted in the wilderness outside Dongping Prefecture. Amidst the rising dust, a massive black hole, over ten meters deep, suddenly appeared, seemingly devouring all life within its vicinity.
Yan Wanwan gritted her teeth angrily, a flicker of unwillingness in her eyes: "Damn it, just a little bit!"
Just now, she noticed that all the plant roots in the Prince of Dongping's mansion were corroded in an instant, and her ability to sense the situation in the mansion with the help of plants also became ineffective.
She lowered her head in thought, recalling the various anomalies she had encountered when she first entered Dongping Mansion - there was not a single plant decoration in the mansion. Not only was there no grass or trees in the backyard, there were no flowers or plants in the house either.
This unusual behavior immediately made her suspicious. As for those underground roots, it was only by secretly stimulating the roots of plants on the streets of Dongping Prefecture that she was able to barely penetrate into the backyard and spy on a corner of the mansion.
However, now it seems that all these arrangements were specially designed to guard against her.
But she pondered over it, still puzzled. She had never met the Prince of Dongping, so how did he know about her abilities? And where did he get those things similar to those in Nanping Prefecture? She had already crafted them herself and brought them back from the apocalypse. It didn't make sense to say he had no connection to the apocalypse.
She could say he resembled the Zombie King, but she couldn't sense the slightest trace of a Zombie King from him. But if he wasn't, there were too many unexplainable oddities. Especially the highly corrosive blood, which set off alarm bells in her heart, and she was secretly wary.
Yan Wanwan's gaze grew increasingly icy, a murderous intent filling her heart. If she could kill him once, she could certainly kill him a second time. Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. No matter what, she must not let him live!
However, just as her thoughts were churning, her face suddenly turned pale and the wound on her chest began to ache slightly, obviously indicating that the injury from the previous battle had recurred.
She quickly calmed down and hurriedly took out the medicine box she had brought with her. Inside was a synthetic medicine she had carefully developed, extracted from the energy essence of the zombie crystal, which had a multiplier effect on the injuries of the superpowered.
She took out a pill and was about to swallow it when suddenly, the candlelight in the room flickered without warning. As the flame flickered, it seemed as if a shadow quietly passed behind her...
"Who?!"
Yan Wanwan turned around suddenly, her eyes like lightning, scanning behind her vigilantly.
However, before she could see who was coming, a strong smell of alcohol hit her face. She frowned slightly and looked carefully, only to see Qin Yu standing in front of her, his expression indifferent and his eyes cold, like an emotionless sculpture.
He looked at her quietly, without words or movements, but made people feel an invisible sense of oppression.
Yan Wanwan's heart tightened, and she clenched the medicine bottle in her hand, secretly on guard.
Yan Wanwan and Qin Yu looked at each other for a moment. The atmosphere in the room was so heavy that it was almost suffocating.
She suppressed the pain in her chest and asked in a cold voice, "Why did General Qin come here so late at night?"
Qin Yu's face remained expressionless, but for a moment his eyes turned red. He raised his eyelids slightly and said in a low and hoarse voice, "You are hurt. Who hurt you?"
This statement is not one of concern, but rather a statement, as if it were simply stating an insignificant fact.
Yan Wanwan was suspicious and subconsciously gripped the medicine bottle a little tighter.
She didn't know why Qin Yu came, but there was something strange about him coming at this time.
"General Qin, you and I have already divorced."
Qin Yu's expression froze, and he pursed his lips and said, "So?"
"Don't worry about my business." She responded coldly, her eyes like knives, trying to find a flaw in Qin Yu's face.
However, Qin Yu's expression remained indifferent, as if nothing in the world could cause his emotions to fluctuate.
He slowly raised his hand and pointed at the medicine bottle in her hand. His voice was calm but contained a hint of unquestionableness: "This is medicine from the Imperial Hospital. Take it."
Yan Wanwan was stunned. How did he know that she was injured? Could he have some kind of connection with the Prince of Dongping?
She raised her head, her eyes as sharp as knives, and looked at Qin Yu scrutinizingly, trying to get a clue from his expression.
However, Qin Yu's face remained indifferent, like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.
She couldn't help but curl her lips in her heart. Why was he even more indifferent than before? She really couldn't stand the way he died.
Despite her doubts, Yan Wanwan didn't reject his kindness. She just smiled faintly and said in a distant and polite tone, "Thank you! It's just a minor injury. Don't worry about it, General Qin."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that Qin Yu's face seemed pale for a moment, but the change was fleeting, so fast that she almost thought it was an illusion.
Qin Yu remained silent, but slowly took a step forward, and the distance between them suddenly shortened, so close that they could almost feel each other's breathing.
His eyes were still stern, but they contained a hint of unpredictable emotion.
Yan Wanwan raised her head and met his gaze, then asked warily, "General Qin, what do you mean?"
"Why do we have to get a divorce?" He said this, his face flushed. "But what did I do to disgust you?"
Yan Wanwan looked at him puzzledly and said sincerely, "I don't hate you. I really admire you. As a great general, you have shouldered so much suffering for the people alone."
Especially since her adoptive father is still missing and the border is restless, he can single-handedly stabilize the border and protect millions of people in the Great Xia Kingdom.
"Then why do you insist on..."
There was an invisible surprise in Qin Yu's eyes, and a vague expectation in her heart. She didn't hate herself, so did that mean she still had a chance?
Yan Wanwan laughed and said, "General Qin, we are on different paths and cannot work together. There is really no need for you to get bogged down in these trivial matters of love, especially for an outsider like me."
Qin Yu immediately retorted: "You are not, you are..."
He paused, "You are my savior."
"You gave me the identity of the general's wife, which allowed me to successfully escape from the Lu family. I have repaid your kindness."
Yan Wanwan suddenly realized that he had been brooding over the favor of saving his life! She just wanted to say: Big Brother, there is really no need. Why are you still concerned about a transaction with a clearly marked price?
Qin Yu gritted his teeth, looked at her with complicated eyes, and said after a while, "Are you still upset about what I said at the border last time?"
When he questioned Yan Wanwan for selling grain at a low price, he noticed that Yan Wanwan's face became extremely ugly, and he knew that he had done something wrong.
