Chapter 132 The White Lotus Scumbag is Resurrected
Yan Xiaorui was angry and anxious, and her voice rose a few notches.
"It's healthier to be patient, sister, so don't be angry."
Yan Wanwan looked indifferent and picked up a piece of fruit to eat. The gossip from the outside world seemed like a passing cloud to her and did not cause any ripples.
She knew in her heart that the robbery she had experienced was real, but the amount of money she reported to others was deliberately exaggerated.
She wanted to see whether this farce would end up with both sides suffering losses, or whether the person behind the scenes would end up losing more than he gained.
In fact, those who robbed her property were just minions sent by the other party, whose purpose was to disrupt her plans and discredit her reputation.
As for her, she had already taken advantage of the situation and deliberately let those people rob some of the gold and silver. This way, she could not only let the other party down, but also stir up internal conflicts among them and make them kill each other.
Why would she bother when she could just use her enemy's hands to solve it?
"By the way, sister." Yan Wanwan's expression suddenly became serious, and she asked, "How are you managing the Nanping Prefecture's Chamber of Commerce?"
Yan Xiaorui was a little confused by this sudden question. After a moment's hesitation, she slowly nodded and replied, "Not bad, it's going pretty smoothly."
"Well, that's good. A batch of herbs should be arriving soon. You can count them and distribute the silver used to purchase the herbs to the villagers. Then, store all the herbs properly in the warehouse. Someone will come to pick them up in a few days."
"So urgent?"
Yan Xiaorui was instantly attracted by her words and no longer bothered by the irrelevant gossip.
She knew clearly that Nanping Prefecture's expenses were flowing like water, and the most urgent thing at the moment was to find a way to make money quickly.
"I'll go right away." She didn't dare to delay at all and ran out to make arrangements as fast as the wind.
Xiao Tao seized the opportunity and hurriedly said, "Miss, I have been following you these days and accidentally discovered that someone seems to be secretly following you."
"Oh? Who is it?" Yan Wanwan's expression changed, and a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes.
"She's a very strange person, wearing black in broad daylight and a veil covering her face. She's always hanging around the young lady. I've been keeping a close eye on her and observing her for quite a while now. I'm sure she's secretly spying on her."
Yan Wanwan nodded and instructed, "Well, I understand this matter. Keep an eye out for any suspicious people around the young lady."
Xiaotao nodded her head slightly to show that she understood.
In a flash, Yan Wanwan ordered, "Also, quickly send someone to the General's Mansion to sort out my belongings, and then have someone bring them all to Nanping Mansion."
"Miss! Did you have a fight with the general?" Xiao Tao was full of worry and couldn't help but blurt out.
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm going to do my best to save the general." Yan Wanwan glared at Xiaotao in anger.
Xiao Tao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I'll go back to the General's Mansion and clean up."
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
Yan Wanwan stared at Xiaotao's receding back, and an elusive light flashed in her eyes.
As to whether this action was simply for the purpose of saving people, perhaps only she herself knows the answer.
At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar fishy smell quietly entered her nostrils.
Yan Wanwan's heart was filled with alarm, and she flashed like lightning and appeared outside the window in an instant.
Her gaze was like a hawk, fixed on the figure hidden in black clothes, eavesdropping furtively, and she shouted coldly, "Who are you?"
Yan Wanwan stared at the other person with her sharp eyes. After a moment, she opened her thin lips and uttered three words: "Lu Wanru."
The tone was extremely firm, without any hesitation, and it was obvious that he had already made up his mind, not just asking.
The man in black was startled at first, then he let out a strange chuckle, his voice hoarse and rough, like sandpaper rubbing against each other: "I didn't expect you to guess it was me."
After saying this, she slowly raised her hand and pulled off the veil from her face.
Instantly, a horrifying face was exposed to the air. It had begun to rot, white maggots wriggling freely within the rotting flesh. One of its eyes had been completely devoured by the maggots, leaving only a blackened socket. Even its once-broken limbs had strangely "stood" again, and the entire body exuded the stench of decay.
"You've turned into a zombie." Her eyes were sharp. "The person who burned to death in the coffin that day was not you at all."
Lu Wanru was infected and turned into a zombie, but she retained all her memories of her life. This also explains why she did not die, why she was able to stand up again, and why she appeared next to Yan Xiaorui, because everything was a prelude to her revenge on herself.
"That's right! Not only am I not dead, I've also gained supreme power. Now, it's your turn to die!"
A ferocious look flashed across her face, and she laughed strangely, then pounced towards Yan Wanwan like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
All the injuries she had suffered in the past now turned into the blazing fire of revenge in her eyes, and she vowed to repay it all double.
Yan Wanwan looked at her calmly, and with a "puff", a green bolt of lightning pierced her brow. She stopped at a close distance, but the sharp claws could not get any closer. Countless vines entwined around her limbs.
She was horrified and said, "How come you... also have...?"
Yan Wanwan played with the green energy in her palm. "You mean this supreme power? Isn't this the most ordinary ability?"
Fear instantly filled Lu Wanru's remaining pupils. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so arrogant as to steal the love of your parents and brother. If you let me go, I will never look for you again. I will stay away from any place you appear, and I will even let them accept you again. How about this? Just let me go."
Yan Wanwan yawned boredly, "Some of them are dead, some are disabled, what do I need those trash for?"
Lu Wanru saw amusement in her eyes and knew that she would not let her go no matter what. She shouted desperately, "It's not my fault. Who made you a calamity star? Your existence will bring disaster to the Shangshu Mansion. They are the ones who want to give up on you. The person who hired the bandits to kill you was your biological mother, Chen Mei'e. She was afraid that your calamity star fate would destroy her wealth and glory, so she didn't want you to return to the mansion."
I thought this method would be enough to make her panic, but unexpectedly, Yan Wanwan just looked calm, waved her hand nonchalantly, and said lightly: "So what? I don't need them anyway."
"You...what do you want in exchange for letting me go?"
Lu Wanru was filled with fear at this moment, and her body couldn't stop trembling slightly. If she had known that Yan Wanwan possessed such a terrifying ability, she would never have dared to go against her even if she had a hundred times the courage.
Yan Wanwan slowly shook her head, without a trace of pity in her eyes, and said coldly: "You brought this upon yourself, how could I let you go so easily?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Wanwan just moved her fingers slightly.
In an instant, the vines on Lu Wanru's forehead seemed to have received some kind of instruction and penetrated her brain in an instant with lightning speed.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a strange flash of light, the crystal stone emitting a mysterious aura in Lu Wanru's brain was taken out accurately.
At the same time, the light in Lu Wanru's eyes quickly dimmed, and the glory of life receded like a tide, leaving only endless emptiness and deathly silence.
The vines didn't stop moving. Like a starving beast, they quickly enveloped her body layer by layer, absorbing, devouring, and decomposing her in one smooth motion.
In just a blink of an eye, Lu Wanru disappeared without a trace, leaving behind not even a piece of flesh and blood. This time she was dead and could not die again, there was no chance of resurrection.
Yan Wanwan sneered while holding the crystal stone, and his consciousness instantly connected to the end of the world.
"It's you, the Zombie King."
