Chapter 224 Relying on the Blessing of Divine Beasts, Bravely Venturing into the Apocalypse 58
This time it was Li Hua and Bu Shuxin's turn to be angry. Li Hua was so angry that she pointed at Qiu Tong and kept shouting "you," as if she didn't expect her to answer like that.
Bu Shuxin threatened angrily, "Don't be stubborn and make things difficult for yourself. If you anger me and Mom, you'll regret it!"
Bu Shuxin was actually a little afraid of Qiu Tong. Ever since she was frightened by Qiu Tong's murderous look near the base gate last time, she didn't dare to get too close to her even when she was making threats.
"Go ahead and say whatever you want, but leave my house right now, or you'll regret coming to me." Qiu Tong looked at the mother and daughter with a sinister gaze, like a venomous snake.
Li Hua and Bu Shuxin were once again frightened by her gaze, and cold sweat poured down their backs. Bu Shuxin grabbed her mother's sleeve and hid behind her.
Seeing her daughter so useless, Li Hua could only suppress her fear and utter a harsh threat: "You just wait and see."
Then he slunk away with Bu Shuxin, so flustered that he didn't even close the door.
The miniature Qingqiong beckoned with her finger, cast a spell to close the door, then floated back to Qiutong's cheek and pressed her face against hers, comforting her, "Tongtong, how about I go and take care of those two for you, so they don't come to you and annoy you again?"
Qiu Tong glanced at Qing Qiong, too lazy to push this clingy person away anymore.
She just couldn't understand why it liked to stick to her cheek all the time. Even the Azure Dragon wasn't as clingy. Did this Azure Sky have some kind of clinginess disorder? Would it die if it didn't stick to her?
When Qingqiong heard Qiutong's thoughts, his body stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered and shamelessly comforted himself, thinking, "Tongtong is just shy. Girls are like that, they don't mean what they say. I understand, I understand."
"And Azure Dragon, you just wait! How dare you compare yourself to me!" Qing Qiong dared not vent his anger on Qiu Tong, so he could only vent all his anger on Azure Dragon, since Qiu Tong had to use it to compare herself to him.
The poor Azure Dragon was currently sneezing repeatedly within the system. It rubbed its nose with its paw and muttered, "Who's thinking about me?"
Qiu Tong said irritably, "Don't do anything reckless. If you let them die so easily, you're just letting them get away with it."
It's better to let them live on for a long, long time, and experience the cruelty of the apocalypse.
Qingqiong fawned, "Tongtong is right, everything Tongtong says is right."
Qiu Tong rolled her eyes at Qing Qiong, but Qing Qiong was too busy with his lecherous advances to notice Qiu Tong's two big eye rolls.
She looked at Qingqiong with disdain, who had a perverted expression on his face, and finally couldn't help but stick out her thumb and forefinger to flick it away from her cheek.
Finally, she wiped her cheek with her other hand, making her disgust obvious.
Despite being treated this way, Qingqiong wasn't sad at all. Instead, she sweetly thought: "Hitting and scolding are expressions of affection. My wife is showing her love for me."
Tiandao and Xiaofu, peeping through the screen: How despicable??? I don't know this person.
Soon, Qingqiong automatically stuck to it again. This time, Qiutong didn't repel it. She waved her hand and put the things in the house back in their original places from the space.
Qiu Tong sat on the sofa, propping her cheek up with one hand, thinking about how to deal with Li Hua and Bu Shuxin next.
At this moment, there was another knock on the door. Qiu Tong frowned. Why were there so many visitors today?
Just then, Li Mengran's anxious voice rang out from outside the door: "Feihan, are you there?"
The knocking was a bit urgent, and Qiu Tong was afraid something had happened, so she quickly went to open the door.
Qingqiong was unhappy that someone had disturbed its time with Qiutong again, and it frowned, but it still hid itself before Qiutong opened the door.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry to find me?" Qiu Tong asked.
"Go and check on her quickly. Sun Jiayi's family has all moved to the base. They heard that Li Hua and Bu Shuxin had seriously injured Sun Jiayi before, and they just took her to the villa area. They're planning to teach them a lesson." Li Mengran was worried that Qiu Tong would regret it later and stand up for Li Hua and Bu Shuxin, so she came over specifically to remind her.
When the apocalypse first arrived, during the time she spent at university, she kept hearing Yu Fang talk about how much Qiu Tong valued Li Hua and Bu Shuxin, so she misunderstood.
Although Qiu Tong had previously exposed Li Hua and Bu Shuxin's murder of their husband (father) at the base gate, she had only verbally driven them away and had not actually harmed them.
She thought Qiu Tong wouldn't be able to bear seeing her loved ones being hurt by others, but unfortunately, she was wrong.
Qiu Tong looked at her with a strange expression. "They were taken away, so what? What does it have to do with me? I made it very clear last time that I'm severing all ties with them. Whether they live or die is none of my business."
Li Mengran looked surprised, thinking that Qiu Tong was just saying things out of anger, so she offered a few more words of advice.
"Why don't we take a look, so we don't regret it later?"
"Alright then, let's go take a look." Qiu Tong wasn't having a sudden pang of conscience; rather, she felt that Li Mengran was right, and she might regret not being able to witness Li Hua and Bu Shuxin being abused.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, I watched them get beaten up up close, which can also be considered as witnessing for the original owner.
Li Mengran revealed an expression of "I knew it," and quickly walked ahead to lead the way for Qiu Tong.
To be honest, Qiu Tong is a homebody. Except when she's on missions, she spends most of her time in her room. She has no idea which villa Sun Jiayi rented, let alone that she's ever been there.
If the rent for a regular three-bedroom apartment is 500 points per month, then the rent for a villa is five to ten times that amount, depending on the location of the villa.
Fortunately, Li Mengran led the way; otherwise, she would have had to go through a lot of trouble to find it.
They soon arrived at Sun Jiayi's villa, knocked on the door, and waited a while before hearing the doorknob turning inside.
The one who opened the door was one of the members of the Han Dong team. He saw Qiu Tong standing outside the door, blocking the entrance with a troubled expression.
Qiu Tong seemed to know what he was worried about. She pushed him aside and assured him, "Don't worry, do whatever you want. Don't worry about me. I'm just here to watch the show."
The young man who had intended to stop her, and Li Mengran, both stared in disbelief at Qiu Tong's disappearing figure around the corner.
Qiu Tong didn't know where they were being held. She wanted to turn around and ask the young man, but found that there was no one behind her.
She took a few steps back, poked her head out from around the corner, looked at the two people still standing in the doorway in a daze, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you going to come and lead the way? If you're late, you won't see anything."
The young man resignedly stepped forward to lead the way. Now that she had already entered the room, regardless of whether her purpose for coming was actually to watch the show as she claimed, it would be difficult to get rid of her now.
The young man was well aware of his own limitations; he couldn't beat Qiu Tong, so he had no choice but to obediently lead the way.
Li Mengran quickly followed and whispered in Qiu Tong's ear, "Weren't you here to rescue someone?"
"Who told you I came to save someone?" Qiu Tong looked at Li Mengran with a complicated expression.
Li Mengran looked back at Qiu Tong with a blank expression, "Didn't you say that at your house?"
Qiu Tong tried hard to recall, but still couldn't remember saying anything about saving someone.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to regret it later? Isn't that what saving someone means?" Li Mengran saw Qiu Tong's expression and thought she probably hadn't remembered what she said, so she kindly reminded her.
Qiu Tong suddenly realized, and at the same time looked at Li Mengran with an even more complicated expression.
"When I said I didn't want to regret it later, I meant I didn't want to regret not seeing Li Hua and Bu Shuxin being tortured on the spot," Qiu Tong said quietly, without lowering her voice.
The young man leading the way strained his ears to eavesdrop on their conversation; he had originally intended to take a detour to deliberately delay the conversation.
But upon hearing what Qiu Tong said, he immediately dismissed the idea.
If he were to delay the eldest sister's performance, he wouldn't be able to make up for it even if he had ten lives.
The villa that Sun Jiayi rented was a site that had been renovated to add more housing. What was originally a three-story building with more than ten rooms was expanded to include thirty smaller rooms.
Although it's called a small room, it's just a division of the large room in two, and the small room is still much larger than Qiu Tong's room.
This is Qiu Tong's evaluation after passing by a room and seeing its layout.
The villa has staircases in three places: the far left, the middle, and the far right, to make it easier for everyone to go up and down without having to crowd into one stairwell.
The young man had originally planned to take Qiu Tong and Li Mengran on a detour between the three stairwells, but now that he had confirmed that Qiu Tong was indeed there to watch the show and didn't seem to be lying, his attitude completely changed.
"Boss, this way please. This staircase is closer, be careful of the steps."
On the way, I encountered people who knew Qiu Tong. I was about to stop them when the young man gestured with his eyes to let me go. If I didn't know them, I just nodded and hurried past.
The young man led the way downhill, not upstairs.
It turns out the villa had a basement. To avoid being discovered abusing their power, they would arrest people and imprison them in the basement.
When the young man opened the door to the basement room where Li Hua and Bu Shuxin were being held, everyone inside involuntarily turned to look at them.
