Volume 3, Chapter 16 – Undead?

Being suddenly pounced on by an unexpected figure, to be honest, Tianyin didn’t react at all.

However, that completely emotionless “Caught you” was something she was very familiar with.

“Xiaobingxue… Why did you suddenly pounce on me like that… there are so many people outside right now…”

Looking at Xiaobingxue clinging to her like a little animal, holding her tightly in place, Tianyin suddenly felt a headache coming.

“Suu…”

Hearing Tianyin’s words, and under Yeluo’s dazed stare, Xiaobingxue released the posture restraining Tianyin.

After standing beside Tianyin again, Xiaobingxue’s small hand tightly grabbed Tianyin’s small hand, then she lifted her face expressionlessly and looked at Yeluo.

“Homewrecking cat…”

She expressionlessly, emotionlessly said those words.

“Eh? Homewrecking cat? Me?”

It was actually the first time Yeluo had ever heard the term “homewrecking cat,” so she didn’t understand the meaning behind Xiaobingxue’s words right away.

Even though Yeluo didn’t understand, Tianyin definitely did.

“Xiaobingxue… that’s not something you say right now, how could you casually call someone that?”

“Suu…”

After listening to Tianyin, Xiaobingxue looked at her with a puzzled, uncomprehending expression.

“But… Xiaomengyao says that to Sister Xiaomu all the time… is it not allowed?”

“Wuu, seriously, that’s Xiaomengyao. You shouldn’t learn from her!”

A perfectly pure little girl, like a blank sheet of paper, if Xiaomengyao corrupted her, Tianyin felt that it would be her fault.

So after thinking this far, Tianyin secretly began planning how she would properly teach that mischievous little loli disciple Xiaomengyao a lesson later.

“Wuu, forget it, anyway let’s not worry about homewrecking cats or not. Sister Yeluo, let me take you to the Commercial Zone first. There are lots of delicious things there~”

Because of Xiaobingxue’s interruption, Tianyin temporarily forgot about confessing to Yeluo that she was actually the lord of Eden.

But Tianyin also felt this would naturally be revealed sooner or later. Even if she didn’t say it now, Yeluo would eventually figure it out.

So in the end, Tianyin simply no longer thought about confessing that she was the lord.

“Delicious things?”

When it came to food, Yeluo wasn’t particularly interested. But looking at Tianyin’s sparkle-eyed expression of deep longing, showing “Let’s go, let’s hurry up and go,”

Yeluo could only nod and agree.

“Ehehe, there are lots and lots of delicious delicious things, like desserts, cakes and so on~”

Even though the civilization setting of the game world wasn’t as advanced as the real world, when it came to irrelevant details like food, the designers still referenced the real world quite a bit.

So in the game world, the variety of cuisines was extremely abundant, no doubt about it.

And Tianyin, without noticing it herself, had come to like sweet foods… and her favorite, unsurprisingly, was cake.

Very soon, the three of them arrived at Eden’s Commercial Zone. Then, in the lively Commercial Zone, Tianyin found a recently opened dessert shop.

To be honest, the reason Tianyin had secretly slipped out alone today was precisely to sneak out and eat sweets.

Once the sweets were served, Tianyin couldn’t wait to start eating. Compared to Tianyin, who was eating with shining eyes like a little kid, Yeluo eating in small bites looked far more elegant.

But at that moment, Yeluo finally noticed that Xiaobingxue, sitting beside Tianyin, seemed completely uninterested in the dessert placed before her.

Not only uninterested, she hadn’t even touched it.

“Eh, you, you’re not eating?”

Confused, Yeluo subconsciously asked Xiaobingxue.

In response, Xiaobingxue expressionlessly shook her head.

“Don’t need…”

“Don’t need?”

Hearing those words, Yeluo was even more confused.

After all, saying “don’t need”… was simply too strange, right?

What did she mean by don’t need?

Don’t need it because she wasn’t hungry right now and didn’t need food? Or did she mean she simply didn’t eat desserts?

Although confused, Yeluo wasn’t the type to relentlessly pursue a question. So she just kept the doubt inside and didn’t ask again.

However, despite that, after Tianyin carefully swallowed the sweet in her mouth, she subconsciously explained it to Yeluo.

“Wuu, Sister Yeluo, when Xiaobingxue says she doesn’t need it, she really means it literally, she doesn’t need it~”

“Eh eh, doesn’t need it? Doesn’t eat desserts, or doesn’t like sweets?”

Yeluo still didn’t understand.

“Pff, literally. She doesn’t need it. Which means Xiaobingxue doesn’t need to eat at all, hehe, amazing right~”

Doesn’t need to eat?

Impossible…

At the moment she thought that, Yeluo suddenly remembered that in this world, there really was a type of existence that didn’t need to eat…

And that kind of existence… was the Undead who killed her father…

The moment she heard Tianyin’s explanation, Yeluo’s expression immediately turned strange.

And at this time, Tianyin still hadn’t noticed anything wrong with Yeluo’s state.

“Amazing, right, Sister Yeluo? Xiaobingxue is actually an Undead~ ehehe, incredible right? Because she’s an Undead, she doesn’t need to eat~”

Yes.

She should have guessed.

The moment the little girl said she didn’t need it, she should have guessed her identity as an Undead.

In an instant, Yeluo’s mood suddenly became heavy.

Xiaobingxue’s appearance had, without Tianyin realizing it, conveyed an extremely simple and obvious message to Yeluo.

Reаd οո ΚαtRеαԁiոɡСаfе

That this Eden City didn’t just shelter half-beasts or people of other factions.

But even the Undead, Eden would shelter them…

Unbelievable.

Those emotionless, cold, only knowing slaughter, persecution, and destruction, those Undead, this city’s lord actually accepted them.

The Undead… they were Undead…

Even now, every time Yeluo closed her eyes, she could still clearly see the scene of her most beloved father fighting desperately against the Undead for their tribe, only to be killed in the end.

Just earlier, Yeluo had been thinking that if possible, she would return and report false information to Grinrui, claiming there weren’t many half-beasts here.

But now…

Yeluo slowly closed her eyes.

So what if they treated half-beasts equally? If even the chaotic, lawless Undead of the Graveyard could be accepted.

Why should such a place be allowed to continue existing?

Thinking this, Yeluo forced a strained smile at Tianyin.

“Sorry Xiaoyin, I suddenly have something I need to do… so for today, let’s stop here… if there’s time later, let’s come out together again…”

Saying this so suddenly, and with Tianyin still looking confused and lost, Yeluo stood up and left directly…
