Chapter 2002: Chapter 2002

"Trouble? What kind of trouble can you bring me?"

Tang Ye was not expecting this answer from Ning Yu’er. He recalled their last meeting when he had already become the Zombie King and she was a Level 9 Rester, so she should have known his identity. At that time, other Zombie Kings didn’t even know there was a "Chen Bieli". What could be such trouble that even the Zombie King considered it a problem?

Seeing Tang Ye’s puzzled expression, she somewhat helplessly said, "Would you believe me if I said I’m a disaster star?"

"Why do you say that?" Tang Ye was even more confused.

"In the past ten years, I’ve met many people, but all the people who were good to me, the people I cared about... sigh... they all died horribly in front of me. I’m afraid that if I find you, you might also..."

"What’s the big deal, those who can threaten me are still in the minority."

Ning Yu’er smiled without saying anything further.

"You should escape on your own."

"Are you okay? If you stay here, you will die!"

"So what if I die? I don’t want to be with you anymore. Since I met you, my brother died because of you, my mom was killed by people who originally came to hunt you down, and now my dad is dead too. I’ve realized, you are a disaster star! Those around you never end well, it’s no wonder your father died, no wonder those protecting you couldn’t survive, you deserved it! Sob sob..."

"I originally had a happy family, and now it’s all gone because of you! Give me back my brother, give me back my parents!"

On a certain day, escaping from the Cloud Gorge Base in that very second, that girl harshly threw off her hand. Her words, now recalled, still pierced like needles into the heart, never able to be pulled out, lingering to this day, always haunting her.

She couldn’t deny it, because it was indeed the truth.

Seeing her silent, Tang Ye didn’t speak either. He wanted to know what she had been through, but feared his questioning would force her to relive painful memories, so he refrained.

After a long time, he spoke with concern, "Are you okay?"

Ning Yu’er smiled gently, "I’m fine, thank you, but I really might be a disaster star and could truly cause you..."

"Alright, I’ll be fine. As I said earlier, those who can threaten me are still in the minority."

"That’s not necessarily true."

As she shook her head, Tang Ye was momentarily stunned, "You..." He barely began his sentence before she interrupted.

"Okay, let’s talk business."

"You got me out, what about Su Sigui?"

"Ah, that..." Hearing this question, perhaps reminded by her, Tang Ye inexplicably glanced at her, then stood up from the sofa and replied, "I’m no longer a child, I can handle the consequences."

After speaking, he began heading towards the door. The sudden departure of Tang Ye made Ning Yu’er realize something, and a trace of panic flashed through her eyes.

"Do you plan to oppose other Zombie Kings?"

"Otherwise, should I let Su Sigui face it alone?"

"But you, you’re a Zombie King too."

"But I was once just a person, you should know that, right?" Tang Ye looked back at Ning Yu’er with a complex gaze. He realized immediately that she was worried about him, but this kind of concern was somewhat unsettling to him.

"But, can you be sure you’ll survive?"

"Survive..." Tang Ye murmured, falling silent. If he didn’t implement the divine rain plan, what he would have to do was face three Zombie Kings directly!

Whether he could survive, Tang Ye himself couldn’t guarantee.

The best outcome, he could manage one for one, maybe even one for two!

Shaking his head, Tang Ye stopped thinking about these things now; doing so was just adding burdens to himself.

His avoiding the issue also indirectly gave Ning Yu’er an answer, she murmured despondently, "I really am a disaster star..."

"Don’t deceive yourself, what disaster star, it’s nothing." Tang Ye comforted her, seeing her still pale face, he continued, "Alright, I need to deal with some troublesome things now, you rest here for a while."

"Will you come back, like before..."

She looked at him expectantly, but inadvertently seeing her gaze, Tang Ye froze. At this moment, he seemed to sense Ning Yu’er’s intense feelings for him!

But, should he face them?

This feeling of confusion made Tang Ye feel hateful! Looking through the ceilingless door to the sky above, he realized he wasn’t even sure if there was a chance to come back!

Judging by the time, it should be around three or four in the afternoon now, and other Zombie Kings were expected to arrive by six in the afternoon. Three hours, such a time span, was neither long nor short. Would there be time in between? He couldn’t be sure.

At this time, it was least appropriate to worry about romantic feelings... Check latest chapters at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Concern is the driving force for people to move forward, but it can also become a stumbling block on the road ahead!

He was somewhat afraid that while walking, he might suddenly halt, unable to take the next step, losing his initial fearlessness.

Of course, all of this wasn’t too different from what he imagined, but laughably, he never thought about how he should accept it. So he dared not look at the girl’s eyes, trying his best to avoid her feelings for him.

He casually uttered, "I’ll try..." After saying this, he didn’t care about the tremor in his voice, he quickened his pace towards the outside. Ning Yu’er, noticing his escape-like departure, couldn’t worry about much more. She ran out of the bedroom, yelling loudly.

Tang Ye did not stop. He had to leave; what might happen next was perhaps what he anticipated most, but fear overshadowed anticipation. He instinctively believed avoiding was the best choice.

"You take a rest first."

Ning Yu’er took a deep breath, disregarding his words, and desperately said, "You can leave, but I have one request. Will you promise me?"

Tang Ye, just stepping out of the living room, immediately paused.

"What request?" He asked. About her request, Tang Ye found he couldn’t refuse at all. Most importantly, he didn’t want to leave just like that...

Seeing him stop, Ning Yu’er smiled happily. Her smile was like sunlight tearing through the clouds, making Tang Ye feel a burst of warmth, a moment where all the oppression and tension vanished, soft warmth, making him feel as if he could breathe again.

The atmosphere between them was peaceful; she did not speak for a while, but Tang Ye didn’t want to break the silence. At that moment, he found unprecedented patience, willing to wait a long time, not feeling urgent or annoyed.

"May I embrace you for a moment, Zombie King?"
