A cute, timid mushroom mistakenly takes the zombie king for her boyfriend and sticks close to him.

Chapter 278 All members mindlessly protect the mushroom

In the secluded and dimly lit underground city, green will-o'-the-wisps illuminated this small world, vines were everywhere, and several high-level zombies and Tang Shengnan had arrived at the crime scene.

Without exception, their gazes toward Pei Sinian were filled with doubt.

Even though the zombies could feel a strong sense of oppression from Pei Sinian, it couldn't change the fact that their non-existent consciences were deeply condemning him.

If they weren't constrained by their lack of strength, they would even have wanted to lay their cards on the table: We zombies don't have scum like you.

Unfortunately, their strength didn't allow it; the zombies remained silent, but their eyes were filled with filthy curses.

Pei Sinian, who met their gazes, was speechless.

His eyebrows twitched. "What kind of looks are you giving me?"

Mr. Zombie's facial expressions are much richer than before after his advancement; at least his raised eyebrows are quite noticeable.

The zombies feared Pei Sinian, but Tang Shengnan did not.

She narrowed her eyes, scanned her surroundings, and finally found the purple mushroom that Pei Sinian was holding, which was pattering with tears.

Tang Shengnan's anger flared up instantly. "You scumbag, what did you do to her?"

Pei Sinian: "???"

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his mushroom-shaped eyes with his fingertips, his throat tightening, "I haven't had time to do anything yet."

Tang Shengnan: "You didn't do anything, how did she suddenly turn into a mushroom?"

"...I was only asleep for a while, how come she's crying like this when I woke up?" Pei Sinian asked instead of answering, a cold light reflecting off his glasses, his light gray pupils gloomy, his tone unfriendly: "Whoever bullied her, step forward."

All the creatures replied in unison: "You."

I've never seen such a shameless bastard. He made his wife cry and then tried to scam them.

Pei Sinian's eyebrows furrowed like small mountains. "Me?"

A hint of confusion flashed deep in his eyes. His slender fingers stroked the tip of the mushroom cap intermittently. It was much warmer than usual. The mushroom, tired of crying, simply retaliated by chewing on his fingers.

Tang Shengnan looked on with envy, "You still have the nerve to ask? You scumbag, who exactly did you cheat on with?"

Pei Sinian: "?"

Waking up to a silence filled with confusion, he slowly blinked his narrow eyes, a chill creeping onto his brow. Was Tang Shengnan picking a fight? He asked the other zombies, "What about you? Are you all mute?"

Ji Luolan covered her mouth with her fan: "Scumbag!"

Sheng Jingxing grinned gloatingly: "Don't you know what you've done? Oh my, you cheated on me! As the eldest brother, I'm truly ashamed of you!"

The little zombie's eyes were round and bright: "Big devil, you've wronged my mom. I want to separate from the family, right now. Mom will stay with me, and you can live with your mistress."

The lame zombie held a handful of sunflower seeds he'd somehow acquired, not even bothering to peel them, and stuffed them into his mouth, mumbling indistinctly, "Eating what's in the bowl while eyeing what's in the pot."

Pei Sinian finally understood the problem after hearing their explanations.

His expression was stern as he gave the zombies a warning look, signaling them to shut up. Then he whispered to coax Little Mushroom, "Don't listen to their nonsense. You're enough for me. I was with you even during the early stages of my sleep. How could I possibly cheat on you?"

Meeting Mushroom's bright red eyes, a cold glint flashed in his own. "Someone must be spreading rumors. Don't cry. Once I catch the person who said I cheated, I'll throw him into a horde of zombies and dismember him."

For some reason, the little mushroom in her hand, which had been crying softly, suddenly trembled and cried even louder. After turning into a mushroom, Meng Xiaoyou's voice was also her own. When she cried, it was delicate and sweet, like a kitten, with bubbles popping out and big little purple bubbles falling from her eyes. It was heartbreaking to hear and brought tears to the eyes of anyone who saw it.

The zombies and humans present couldn't bear to see such a pitiful scene.

From someone else's perspective, it looks like Pei Sinian is threatening Mushroom!

That's right, Meng Xiaoyou said he cheated on her, he definitely cheated on her, how could the innocent and harmless Mushroom frame him?

The entire group blindly protected Mushroom, and the hateful male zombie, taking advantage of Mushroom's cuteness and pitifulness, actually threatened her in public that he would throw her into the zombie horde and dismember her!

Tang Shengnan was so angry that she trembled all over and went up to snatch the mushroom.

"Don't be afraid, little cutie, come to me and let's see what he can do to you!"

The female zombie retorted, "Little mushroom, he doesn't know how to grow mushrooms. Come with me, I won't cheat on you."

The little zombie cried out with a mournful face, "Mommy..."

bang bang bang...

Several birds that came to snatch the mushrooms were all swept away by the powerful current and fell flat on their backs.

Tang Shengnan fell to the ground, but bravely stretched out her hand: "Don't be afraid, I can still fight... You become a person and tell him about his infidelity, we are your strongest shield."

When her closest person was attacked by the very closest zombie, Meng Xiaoyou forgot to cry and anxiously tried to jump down to find them. But then everything went black before her eyes, and she was easily grabbed in the man's large hand.

"No changes allowed."

Mr. Zombie's expression was terrible, and his mood was even more complicated. He had no intention of paying attention to those messy people and used his supernatural abilities to rush out.

A chill permeated the entire underground area. Cold ice covered the walls, solid and thick, forming an ice wall that blocked the view of all living beings. He seemed unable to hear Tang Shengnan and the others' curses, nor could he feel the pain of the mushroom mouth biting him.

He spread his fingers, and the mushroom couldn't wait to transform into a human shape.

Her glossy black hair cascaded over her rounded, fair shoulders, exuding a unique fragrance. A few strands of hair partially obscured her figure. She wrapped her pale arms around the male zombie's neck, tightening her grip, and said with a hint of anger, "Pei Sinian, if you have a problem with me, why did you hit Sister Tang and the others?"

Is Pei Sinian the kind of emotionally unstable zombie who bullies his lover when he has problems?

Definitely not. He's always been emotionally stable. Even when he's angry, he didn't kill those guys outside the ice wall.

He wrapped one arm around Mushroom's smooth lower back and pinched her chin with the other. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his gray eyes surveyed her pitiful face, lingering for a few seconds on the corners of her reddened eyes before he lowered his head and kissed them.

The man's lips were warmer and drier than before, soft but devoid of any desire. He gently touched her eyes, and Meng Xiaoyou was startled, her crying stopping for a few seconds. After realizing what had happened, she choked out, "Scumbag."

"...You don't believe me?"

"Of course I want to believe you... but the evidence is irrefutable, how can you expect me to believe you?" The superpower had cried until his tears dried, and glistening tears slid down from the corners of his eyes, wetting his lips.

He kissed them clean, his originally cold voice deliberately softening, "What evidence? You can confront me one by one."

Meng Xiaoyou was furious. "You have other mushrooms behind my back, and they're such big ones. You even dare to confront me. I didn't even dare to grow them on you. Why did you have to grow them on you? Fine, I'll make you admit defeat."

She reached back and grabbed it.

Pei Sinian's breath hitched, and his already fair face turned even paler...
