Chapter 49: 3.6
[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 10%.]
[Why does it feel unsatisfactory to fill his Fatemeter? It feels like I'm the one being played here.]
Ling Kai took the five glow brain beads and juggled it in palm, "I don't really get why you guys are doing so much only for these beads. I can create even the highest quality bead you can imagine in a minute. Do you want it?"
"No, I know that you just want to play around, anything that you do will have severe consequences," Yunyu said.
"Ah, you got me," Ling Kai chuckled. He threw the brain beads at Yunyu and Yunyu caught it. He walked to the stair, "Five glow zombie brain beads are enough for this expedition, right? I guarantee you that there is no other glow zombie in this place."
Yunyu nodded and followed Ling Kai. They descended to lower floors and called the team to leave the supermarket. His subordinate was shocked to see five glowing brain beads in President Ru's hand, they praised him to the moon and back.
"President Ru is amazing! He can fight five glow zombies without destroying anything! I'm sure he can even take out a chimera zombie!"
"Sure, he is! President Ru is a great fighter!"
President Ru didn't say anything and entered his car. He was too tired to even smile, especially when the Zombie King, Ling Kai barged inside his car without any form of respect. Ling Kai grinned when he heard other young ability users trash talked him, because he didn't do anything while President Ru worked hard to get all the brain beads.
In fact, most of them were jealous because this newbie could get close to President Ru and even sat inside President Ru's car, at least Vice President Bi was a very good healer and took care of President Ru's well being seriously. Unlike Ling Kai who had no use.
Ling Kai laughed at the people who slandered him. He didn't care much, but it amused him, because they worshipped Ru Lan like he was some sort of god.
"You are very popular. Strong, handsome, rich, but it doesn't seem that you have any romantic relationship in your life. You are too dedicated for this thankless job," Ling Kai taunted Yunyu again. He held President Ru's chin and said, "Are you in love with your Vice President, Bi He?"
"Nonsense!"
[I wished so, Ling Kai. I'd love to kiss Bi he. But this body is the body of a thirty years old monk, it's ridiculous.]
[Pupa: You are already nineteen in your world. Only eleven more years and you will also be a monk.]
[Hey! I will make sure that I lose my virginity before thirty in my world!]
[Pupa: With who?]
[H—Han Ye…]
[Pupa: Pfffft…]
"Ah? You are not in love with your vice president? Too bad, I can blackmail you with that~" Ling Kai sighed. He scratched his head and put his leg on the driver's shoulder like before. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, apparently.
Ru Lan peered at this guy. He knew that he couldn't kill this Zombie King, but he was anxious about his unpredictable behaviour. Especially when they entered Duran City.
He sat with his back straight, fearing that Ling Kai would do something to his people when he was off guard. Ling Kai found this a bit annoying, he felt like he was sleeping with a robot beside him.
Ling Kai leaned his head on Ru Lan's shoulder and he yawned again. Ru Lan shivered, his body was stiff as a piece of metal. Ling Kai got annoyed and tapped his shoulder. Ru Lan's body immediately loosened, like a piece of jelly, his sturdy body became a pillow for Ling Kai.
"Come on, relax a bit. I won't kill you so soon," Ling Kai rested his head on Ru Lan's lap and fell asleep just like that.
[This guy sleeps like a log.]
[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 15%.]
[Wait, what did I do?]
[Pupa: You become his pillow. Good job.]
Ling Kai was sleeping peacefully. Although he did not need sleep at all, he liked to take a nap sometimes. It gave him the illusion of being a human. Something that was not his.
'Well, this human pillow is quite comfortable.'
They returned back to Duran City in the evening. Ru Lan ignored Ling Kai who was still asleep in the car and immediately rushed to Bi He's house. Ru Lan knocked the door a few times until the door was unlocked from inside.
"President Ru…" Bi He bowed his head pitifully. The handsome, gentle guy looked deathly pale, he wore his pyjamas and looked unkempt, "Pardon me for my shameful display, please come in…" Bi He staggered as he went to the kitchen to make tea for the President.
Ru Lan caught Bi He's shoulder and carried him to the sofa, "You shouldn't force yourself. What happened?"
"I—" Bi He raised his head, he wanted to report about what Ling Kai did to him, but then, he realized that Ling Kai suddenly appeared behind President Ru's back. His eyes widened, his body trembled as he pointed at the man behind President Ru.
"L—Ling Kai is not simple! President Ru—"
Ling Kai laughed as he glanced at Ru Lan. Ru Lan's body went soft immediately and he fell to the ground. He glared at Ling Kai, "You!"
"Hm? Did I interfere with your lovey-dovey moment?" Ling Kai shrugged. He sat beside Bi He who was trembling, "Why are you so scared? I just give you a bit of my essence. President Ru drank a lot of it and he is still fine."
Bi He recovered his strength immediately after Ling Kai tried to touch him. He distanced himself from Ling Kai. He tried to pull Ru Lan. But soon realized that Ru Lan's body was like that of a dead man. "What did you do to President Ru!?"
"I told you, he drank a lot of my essence. He is basically my property now."
Bi He bit his lips, he took a deep breath and his hand glowed with gentle light. He tried to heal whatever happened with President Ru. But President Ru suddenly grabbed his wrist and clench it tightly, "P—President Ru?!"
"I'm sorry, Bi He. I can't control my body," Ru Lan said regretfully.
Bi He winced in pain, because President Ru might break his wrist if he continued to tighten his grip.
[No! I don't want to hurt Bi He!]
[Pupa: Why? He is technically your love rival in this world. You won't face any consequence by killing him.]
[But, Bi He is a kind, precious man! I will find another way to complete the task of this world without killing him!]
Ru Lan snarled at Ling Kai, "Ling Kai! I will not spare you if you keep doing this! Bi He's wrist will be broken!"
"Oh~ Is that a threat for me? Turns out, President Ru does have a feeling for your vice president. Ah, that makes me jealous~" Ling Kai's eyes were cold, he commanded, "Break his wrist."
"Ling Kai!"
Crack!
