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

Ji Lingshen remained silent throughout the journey away from the base.

Only after parking the car and calmly dealing with a zombie that approached did Ji Lingshen approach Xie Qingyu and ask, "How did you know?"

"Let's find a place to eat first." Xie Qingyu wasn't in a hurry at all at this moment.

Xie Qingyu's incomprehensible attitude was like a knife hanging over Ji Lingshen's head. As long as Xie Qingyu didn't express her opinion, the knife kept threatening Ji Lingshen, making his nerves tense and painful, but he dared not say a word.

The first thing the two of them need to solve after arriving here from the base vehicle is the problem of food.

Xie Qingyu didn't decide where to go. They just drove around randomly without any plan, and only stopped when they reached a place with buildings.

This doesn't look like there's any food here.

Ji Lingshen didn't bother looking for anything; he simply took out the items from his spatial storage and started a fire to cook.

Xie Qingyu leaned against the car, watching Ji Lingshen take out the cooking utensils, and began to doubt the size of his space.

Xie Qingyu only snapped out of her thoughts when Ji Lingshen had prepared the meal and invited her to eat.

Looking at the table and food that Ji Lingshen had set out.

"Excellent craftsmanship," Xie Qingyu praised.

Normally, Ji Lingshen, who would have rushed over to ask for a kiss after receiving praise from Xie Qingyu, dared not make a fuss now.

Seeing Xie Qingyu start eating, he hesitated for a moment but still didn't say anything.

Xie Qingyu couldn't stand his behavior any longer and said directly, "I have a few questions I want to ask you."

Ji Lingshen's heart tightened. Although his face remained expressionless, he clenched his fists and looked nervously at Xie Qingyu, wondering what she wanted to ask.

At this moment, he was like a prisoner awaiting a judge's verdict, unsure whether it would be the death penalty or life imprisonment.

"When I first arrived at the base, I couldn't sleep well at night. I dreamed that snakes were coiling around my legs. Is that related to you?" Xie Qingyu's first question caught Ji Lingshen off guard.

However, at this point, he still nodded honestly, "I was very interested in your identity at the time and wanted to observe you."

Ji Lingshen did not say that he was attracted to Xie Qingyu at first sight and developed a strong curiosity, which led him to want to secretly explore her every night.

Xie Qingyu was not surprised by his answer.

Xie Qingyu hadn't expected this at first. When Xie Cheng first brought her to the base, she thought it was because of the tense environment of the apocalypse that she kept having dreams of being entangled by snakes.

However, when Ji Lingshen used those vines on the bed later, Xie Qingyu noticed a familiar feeling.

That's when I remembered what happened before.

Saying it now is merely to confirm my own guess; there's no other meaning behind it.

Seeing that Xie Qingyu only nodded, Ji Lingshen became even more nervous, because he couldn't figure out Xie Qingyu's attitude.

"That time you went to the warehouse with Zhou Yao, you accidentally pulled my hair and wouldn't let me in. Did you realize there were zombies lying in ambush?" Xie Qingyu asked, following the timeline.

Ji Lingshen thought for a moment and smiled slightly. "No, that zombie wasn't lying in ambush. It was hiding in the house because it was scared. It just didn't expect us to search every single room."

Xie Qingyu was stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be like this.

At the time, because of this incident, I thought that the zombies had become capable of thinking.

"Was that zombie that catalyzed my superpowers also at your behest?" Xie Qingyu followed the clues. Since zombies weren't that smart, the zombie that pretended to be dead and lay in ambush probably wasn't doing it on its own.

Ji Lingshen nodded and said, "You wanted to awaken your special ability back then."

That was something he could arrange for Xie Qingyu. Even if Xie Qingyu couldn't awaken her superpowers in a critical moment, he wouldn't let the zombies harm her in the slightest.

Xie Qingyu recalled that when these two things happened, Ji Lingshen was still acting weak and helpless, leaning on her shoulder from time to time. Who knew that he was secretly commanding the zombies?

"So, were you faking your weakness before?" Xie Qingyu's gaze was fixed on Ji Lingshen, her question carrying a hint of interrogation.

Ji Lingshen quickly denied it, "It wasn't an act. At that time, my body didn't adapt well to the changes, and I was indeed very weak. I was like that for a long time."

Xie Qingyu knew in her heart that his weakness at that time was very realistic. If he could really act it out, then his acting skills were worthy of an award.

"When did you get better?" Xie Qingyu thought about it carefully and realized that Ji Lingshen had stopped being so weak at some point, and even had great physical strength.

"On the way to the northern base," Ji Lingshen paused, then said, "Do you remember those evolved zombies that chased us back then?"

Xie Qingyu certainly remembered the face of the zombie hanging upside down on the car; even now, thinking about it made her feel somewhat disgusted.

"That was when I was at my weakest. The power I possessed attracted them, which is why they followed our car relentlessly. They were all waiting for me to die."

This was the first time Ji Lingshen had pointed out the similarities between himself and zombies.

"Are they trying to eat you up?"

"Sort of. Evolved zombies can sense each other and generally have their own sphere of influence, so they don't interfere with each other unless one side is very weak and they want to take the opportunity to devour their own kind." Ji Lingshen understood the rules that exist among these zombies without needing to communicate.

Xie Qingyu's suspicions were confirmed when she realized that the zombies were only shaken off after Ji Lingshen woke up.

"Do you have many kinds of superpowers?" Xie Qingyu asked finally.

Ji Lingshen shook his head, "It's not a lot, just a little more than others."

Ji Lingshen did not know the reason for this.

At least until now, he has never met a human with multiple superpowers like his.

Or rather, it was because he was neither human nor non-human that he achieved such a good result.

"I've finished asking my questions." Xie Qingyu didn't comment after hearing the answers and simply announced the end of the session.

This made Ji Lingshen somewhat flustered.

"You still haven't said how you found out." Ji Lingshen felt that he had concealed it very well, and had hardly shown any different attitude towards the zombies in front of Xie Qingyu.

"Those previous problems... if one of them happened was a coincidence, but if two or three happened, how could people not be suspicious?"

This was indeed Xie Qingyu's deduction, but it was thanks to the system's prompt.

It emphasizes from the beginning that the male protagonist in this world is a villain, not a virtuous gentleman.

This was practically an explicit instruction to Xie Qingyu.
