Chapter 77: Dig, Dig, Dig

“I can only ask you to bear with it.” Little An had no intention of satisfying Queen Huang’s request, and asked instead: “You are clearly a Fungal Demon, why are you so interested in men?”

“Because, for a human body, this is the most interesting thing.” Queen Huang replied, already taking off her nightgown, and when she changed into the clothes she brought in the car, she even smiled very charmingly at the rearview mirror. “Handsome, where are we going?”

“The seaside.” Chen Fengshi answered, but his attention was on the intersection ahead. There was a car by the roadside, and the car on the left was very close to the driving lane. He was also not familiar with the width of this car, relying entirely on feeling. When passing, he had already slowed down, paying close attention to the left and right rearview mirrors, and the status of both sides of the front of the car as it passed.

Little An watched very anxiously. “The contrast between your driving style and riding a motorcycle is too big.”

“This is a cautious way to practice. Passing slowly is safe and cautious. When you pass, you are accumulating a feel for the car, and after passing, you confirm the difference between feeling and actual distance.” Chen Fengshi was not impatient or anxious at all.

“…Is that so?” Little An did not know what to say. She would rather Chen Fengshi had just passed quickly just now, even if he accidentally scratched a piece, it would not matter.

“Forget it, no explanation. Just remember that my total driving kilometers are very few, and I am a beginner, that’s all.” Chen Fengshi focused on driving. He did not care about the loss in case of a scrape, because he did not need to bear the cost as a driver, and for Little An, it was not a problem worth caring about.

Chen Fengshi just took this opportunity to seriously cultivate his feel for this car. This was how he trained when riding a motorcycle before. Back then, he could pass at high speed between narrow obstacles on the motorcycles he commonly used, with an extreme distance of only one millimeter between the edges of the handlebars on both sides.

The villa area where Queen Huang was placed was on their way to the seaside. On non-holiday times, there were very few cars on the road to the seaside, so Chen Fengshi kept the speed at nine percent over the speed limit. The road speed control in Xuancheng was usually eighty, and with few cars, it could run at a speed of ninety-five, which was no pressure at all.

Chen Fengshi had been to the coastline of Meikeng a few times, but he had never been to the coastline at the destination. At the end of the main road, passing through the narrow old road outside the local small village, he still had to bump along a section of dirt road before he could see it. Even on holidays, tourists might not come here, let alone during the day on a weekday?

There was no one to be seen on the beach at all. Little An and Queen Huang were in one group, and Chen Fengshi was in one group, scattered on a small patch of sand to search for suspicious traces.

Queen Huang said very helplessly: “Everyone is already in a cooperative relationship, is it necessary to be so guarded? There are not even people here, we can totally look for clues together.”

Little An said very directly: “There are no people, but there are living things.”

Queen Huang did not say anything else. Yes, if there were living things, a Fungal Demon could parasitize them, could control them, and could play tricks.

Only under Little An’s watchful eyes, or in a house with precautionary measures, could she feel at ease.

Chen Fengshi looked for traces on the beach but did not find anything. However, so many people from the Mutual Aid Association had gathered here yesterday, but now nothing could be seen. This itself was an abnormality. It was like—it had been deliberately cleaned up.

So many people, so many things, and so many cars driven here.

Where were they all hidden?

Chen Fengshi thought about it, and he thought of some terrifying ideas. For example, the game people often play at the seaside, burying their bodies in the sand; or for example, thinking of some news about cars falling into the water…

After Little An and Chen Fengshi finished searching this small beach, they exchanged views, and their final opinions were consistent.

“Let’s dig.”

“We do need to dig, but I want to go into the sea to take a look first.” Chen Fengshi agreed to dig. The possibility of hiding things in the sand was very high.

Yes, a gathering would definitely bring some food and drinks, tents, personal items, and the like. There should have been something left here, otherwise, why were these people’s phones specially scattered and thrown in the city?

It was nothing more than not wanting to be found here, and since this place was cleaned up so cleanly, how were the people, cars, and items dealt with? People buried in the sand? Or stuffed into the cars? It probably only required driving the car to the seaside, and then watching the waves carry the car further and further away.

“You are responsible for digging the sand, and I am responsible for going into the sea. If the car is parked by the sea with the doors and windows closed, the car will be carried very far by the waves before it sinks. My water skills are pretty good.” Little An took out the shovel, and also took out the diving equipment.

Chen Fengshi saw this and could only silently pick up the shovel. With complete equipment, was water skills still that important? The key was—diving was comfortable, digging sand was hard work! But the equipment was Little An’s, she picked the easy job, could he say anything? Besides, he couldn’t let a beauty hold a shovel to dig sand under the sun while he himself dived in the sea, right?

Queen Huang found there was another set of diving equipment and was about to go into the sea, but Little An said: “You dig sand too.”

“Me? Dig sand?” Queen Huang felt it was unacceptable, pointing at her neck and face, saying: “Such good skin as mine, you let me dig sand under the scorching sun?”

“Do you really think of yourself as a woman?” Little An changed into her diving suit in the car, put on the buoyancy control jacket, and carried a set of equipment to go into the sea alone, truly leaving Queen Huang there.

However, Chen Fengshi felt her words were right. Queen Huang was not human, she was a Fungal Demon, and she could not be treated as a human woman. In fact, Chen Fengshi did not treat her as a human either.

But Queen Huang opened a beach umbrella, moved out a folding sun chair, lay there drinking frozen drinks from the car fridge, and lay watching Chen Fengshi dig sand alone.

Of course, she still felt bored like this, so she also took the initiative to chat with Chen Fengshi.

“Tell me, is my figure better, or hers?” Queen Huang seemed to completely not know what shame was. She did not bring a swimsuit, so she just went completely naked… yes, she just lay on the sun chair next to him like this. To show off the charm of her figure, she was now in a side-lying posture, with unrestrained wildness revealing in her eyes, unreservedly seducing Chen Fengshi.

However, Chen Fengshi buried his head and focused on digging sand, too lazy to pay attention to her, not looking at all.

“Don’t pretend to be proper. When Little An went into the sea just now, your eyes stared at her back the whole way. Now I let you look as much as you want, but you pretend to be more interested in the sand?”

Chen Fengshi continued to dig sand, not even looking at her, and said to himself: “In my eyes, you are not a human woman, but an aggregate of countless Fungal Demon cells. Just save it, this trick might be okay to tease ignorant people.”

Queen Huang did not care either, continuing various provocations, but Chen Fengshi truly lacked even the interest to look at her.

So, she had to change her method, called out to him and said: “Hey, how about this, you come over and give me a full-body massage, and I will tell you where to dig to get results.”

“…You know?” Chen Fengshi held the shovel with both hands, casually inserted it into the sand, and stared at Queen Huang with suspicion, but he did not think he could see anything from her face.

“As long as I spread my cells, I can drill into the sand to determine the existence of foreign objects, and there will be results very soon. Compared to your mindless digging like this, it is much more effective. Digging sand and giving me a massage, which is easier?” Queen Huang was full of confidence, but after Chen Fengshi considered for a second, he continued to dig sand. “Digging sand is easier.”

Queen Huang was stunned for a few seconds, so angry that she did not know what to say… Wasn’t this obviously telling a lie with open eyes?

But, Chen Fengshi was just telling a lie with open eyes, what could she do?

A few seconds later, Queen Huang decided to continue negotiating, so she said: “How about this, you just help me massage here and that’s it.” She pointed to the most plump part of her body, thinking it was so simple, Chen Fengshi should agree.

Chen Fengshi glanced at it, said nothing, and continued to dig sand.

“…Do you have to be like this? Are you the legendary moralist? Or the legendary guy doomed to be single forever?” Queen Huang simply did not understand Chen Fengshi’s brain circuit.

Yes, she did not know.

Without a special reason, he would still be willing to think about her lowered conditions.

But, he thought of Juzi, thought of the pool in her residential community… and then, thought of the person who was still in a coma in Tian’ai Hospital… How could he still agree?

Chen Fengshi would rather dig sand, even subconsciously hoping that faster, more urgent digging would shift his attention.

“Alright, since it is like this, I can only remind you that you should go save Little An.” Queen Huang changed the topic, and her tone suddenly became very cold.

Chen Fengshi stopped the shovel, looked at her, with an attitude of quietly listening to what she would say next.

“Since you know that any creature can be controlled by me, you shouldn’t be so careless. I infected a patch of aquatic creatures in the sea through a crab, now you hurry into the sea, maybe it is still in time to save Little An…” Queen Huang’s eyes revealed the joy of a winner, that attitude of being certain of Chen Fengshi made people feel particularly displeased—plus she was naked, so this displeasure was easily transferred to thoughts of non-violent venting.

But, after Chen Fengshi heard this, he continued to bury his head and dig sand.

“You don’t care about Little An’s life or death?” Queen Huang seemed very surprised.

Chen Fengshi replied impatiently: “Unless my IQ is in arrears would I believe your nonsense. If you could do that, would you dare to say that to me like just now? Unless you are tired of living! I can kill you in a few seconds, what qualifications do you have to threaten me?”

Queen Huang bit her lower lip, stared at him, and asked in a very provocative tone: “Then… for a provocative woman like me, fooling you like this, don’t you want to teach me a lesson?”

Chen Fengshi fell silent, holding the shovel, standing there, as if considering, considering, and then, his gaze shifted to Queen Huang, while the latter happily twisted her body, with an eager look begging to be dealt with.

So, Chen Fengshi walked over, inserted the shovel into the sandy ground, and said to her angrily: “I do need to teach you a lesson—get up, you dig sand, I’ll drink!”

Queen Huang stared at Chen Fengshi, looking into his eyes, one second, two seconds, three seconds… Then, she found that Chen Fengshi was serious, so she changed from lying on her back to lying on her stomach, and said faintly: “I was wrong, I won’t speak anymore, if you keep digging you will definitely have results.”

“Truly a person who won’t behave without being taught a lesson!” Chen Fengshi did not continue to force her, took the shovel and jumped back into the pit, continuing to dig.

Queen Huang silently drank ice water, not daring to say a word.
