Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

It's probably because Xie Qingyu only confronts Chang Qing and her daughter when she's being sarcastic that Ji Lingshen isn't so afraid of her.

Hearing Ji Lingshen's question, Xie Qingyu turned to him and said, "Yes, aren't you?"

Ji Lingshen's smile was innocent. "I escaped with Aunt Chang and Chang Qing."

Speaking of this, Xie Qingyu suddenly thought of something else and asked, "Where's your dad? That woman is with my dad now, didn't she just cheat on him?"

Xie Qingyu's words were blunt, but Ji Lingshen did not feel offended.

“I don’t know.” Ji Lingshen lowered his eyes. “Before the apocalypse, he only went home once a year. After the apocalypse, there was even less news of him. Perhaps he’s already dead.”

Ji Lingshen lowered his eyes to conceal all his emotions, revealing only a hint of disappointment.

When Xie Qingyu realized his emotions, she couldn't help but comfort him, "It's okay, maybe your dad is still alive."

“That’s not necessarily a good thing,” Ji Lingshen said.

His gaze fell on Xie Cheng.

Xie Qingyu followed his gaze suspiciously to Xie Cheng, wondering what he was thinking.

He can't really treat Xie Cheng as his own father, can he?

Xie Cheng seemed to sense something and turned to look at Xie Qingyu, his serious face breaking into a smile as he said, "It'll be ready in a moment."

Anyone present could see Xie Cheng's affection for Xie Qingyu, and some people inevitably had other thoughts.

Although Xie Qingyu has no special abilities, she is favored.

In the apocalypse, where self-interest reigns supreme, beauty is merely a seasoning.

Xie Qingyu's greatest asset is the benefits she can bring.

Many people think this way, and even Xie Cheng knows it.

When the three of them arrived at Xie Cheng's office, Xie Cheng spoke frankly to Xie Qingyu, "Today I took you to meet almost all the ability users in the base. Except for a few who are still taking on missions outside, you've met everyone else. If you can't awaken your ability in a short time, Dad plans to choose one of them to marry you."

Xie Cheng naturally had his reasons for doing this.

It wasn't that he didn't care about Xie Qingyu, but he knew that nothing was foolproof in the apocalypse.

He could guarantee Xie Qingyu's safety at the base, but he couldn't even guarantee how long he himself would survive there.

Although absorbing crystal cores can enhance a superhuman's strength, it also brings significant side effects.

Furthermore, no one currently knows what the consequences of these side effects will be.

His current state is extremely unstable. He hopes to find Xie Qingyu another backer before things get out of control, at least to ensure that she can survive in the apocalypse.

Of course, it would be best if Xie Qingyu could awaken her superpowers.

Xie Qingyu could completely understand Xie Cheng's plan.

But that doesn't mean it's acceptable.

However, at that moment, Xie Qingyu glanced to the side out of the corner of her eye, and when she spoke again, she was already very obedient, "I'll listen to Daddy."

Xie Cheng felt a pang of sadness upon hearing Xie Qingyu's answer; he knew how rebellious his daughter usually was.

This time, she accepted it without saying a word, which must mean she understood his good intentions.

"Uncle Xie, don't worry, with you here, you can naturally protect my sister," Ji Lingshen said at the right time.

"Just in case, you know the situation at the base." Xie Cheng was referring to the fact that some of the superhumans had ulterior motives.

After all, when strength is paramount, several superhumans are already showing signs of breaking through to become level three superhumans, and who knows what changes might occur then.

“Even if things change, with you and me here, protecting my sister shouldn’t be a problem,” Ji Lingshen said.

"Your Aunt Chang and Chang Qing are over there and need your protection..." Xie Cheng explained clearly.

Ji Lingshen said nothing more after hearing this.

Xie Cheng, however, looked at Xie Qingyu and said, "I will arrange for you to go out with the base's team to complete some missions during this period. Take your time to get used to it."

Getting married is the worst option, and also a last resort.

Xie Cheng still hoped that Xie Qingyu would have superpowers, at least the ability to save her life.

“I can go with my sister then,” Ji Lingshen said.

“My wood-type ability will never be properly trained without practical application, and I might be able to find a more suitable crystal core outside,” Ji Lingshen explained.

Xie Cheng wanted to refuse, but then he thought that at least with him by her side, Xie Qingyu's survival would be more secure.

"I'll make arrangements for you." Xie Cheng looked at Ji Lingshen. "When you go out, look for any usable crystal cores. Only you can control that."

Perhaps due to his physical condition, Ji Lingshen cannot use most common crystal cores, which results in his ability leveling up being very slow and his energy consumption being very high each time he uses them.

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Xie," Ji Lingshen said.

Xie Cheng waved his hand.

I don't know how this child was raised before, his health is so poor.

If he hadn't awakened his superpowers early in the apocalypse, he probably wouldn't have survived as long as Xie Qingyu had he been outside.

After all, they're practically family, so it's good to take extra care of them.

Xie Cheng had a plan in mind.

Ji Lingshen's role was far more important than it appeared on the surface.

Xie Cheng acted quickly.

During the day, I told them I would make arrangements for them, and then during dinner that evening, I informed them that they would be on a mission the next morning.

"You let those two take on the mission?" Chang Xinrui's reaction was a bit strong; she asked directly, forgetting that they were still at the dinner table.

Xie Cheng reacted calmly, nodding without offering any explanation.

Chang Xinrui realized she had misspoke and subconsciously glanced at Xie Cheng's expression. "What I meant was, Qingyu just arrived here and doesn't have any special abilities. Would it be dangerous to let her go out directly?"

"It's precisely because she hasn't experienced the dangers of the apocalypse that we need to let her feel it. It's just some small tasks like collecting supplies. With an ability user by her side, there won't be any problems."

Xie Cheng did not tell Chang Xinrui the real reason.

"How about we let Chang Qing go with us?" Chang Xinrui asked.

"I don't want to go." Chang Qing refused without even thinking.

Xie Qingyu had never experienced a post-apocalyptic survival scenario, but she had.

She didn't want to experience being chased by zombies again.

If she gets bitten, she's finished.

Upon hearing this, Chang Xinrui looked at Chang Qing with a hint of disappointment.

However, Chang Qing didn't even glance at her.

Xie Cheng then spoke up, "Since Chang Qing doesn't want to go, then let her go. She's already been through a lot; there's no need for her to go through it again."

"That's fine too." Chang Xinrui's expression was somewhat forced, then she looked at Ji Lingshen, "A-Shen, you have to protect your sister. Although you are not in good health, your sister doesn't have any superpowers, so you have to take care of her."

Ji Lingshen put down his chopsticks, looked up, and said as if to assure her, "I will."

Chang Xinrui's expression froze.

When did this brat become so obedient?
