Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1707 - 1039: Pei Yuanhu’s Transformation
Previously on Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food...
In a venue like this, at a moment like this, the person who could mingle the most naturally was Zhuang Shuyuan, who was a socialite even before the apocalypse.
As the only assistant accompanying Liang Yuan in the rescue mission to the south to save Tu Long and others, she was now the center of public opinion.
Many high-ranking officials approached her to inquire about the results of Liang Yuan’s southern expedition.
Because, up to now, no one had seen the group that had initially gone south with the army return.
Zhuang Shuyuan naturally mingled with everyone with a cheerful demeanor.
How could she know what had happened to Liang Yuan after he went out to sea?
But that didn’t hinder her from enjoying the spotlight.
At the moment, she was picking out tales from Ryukyu Island she knew and casually chatting with everyone.
At the same time, she brought up the topic of Western warships’ invasion, keeping everyone in suspense.
She seemed to be at a pre-apocalyptic banquet, with every gesture revealing the endless charm of a socialite.
Compared to the early days in Yangshan, although she was a leader in the Martial King Pavilion.
At that time, resources were scarce, the environment was terrible, and she couldn’t feel any joy as a leader.
Unlike now, in Yangshan, not only have the people multiplied, but the environment improved, and various food and wine followed.
This was her stage, the stage illuminated by the spotlight of her power.
There were some who didn’t recognize her, whispering among themselves.
"Who is she?"
"Such a beautiful woman."
"I listened for a while; she seems to be the Minister of the Yangshan Inspection Department, mainly responsible for intelligence gathering and acquiring information on hostile forces."
"Wow, that’s an important department. What is her name?"
"I heard them call her Minister Zhuang!"
"Her full name?"
"Not sure."
"Is she a Superpower User?"
"Are you naive? If she wasn’t a Superpower User, could she hold a position like minister?"
"Not necessarily, she’s too beautiful."
Two island lords from Jingzhou Floating Island whispered.
At this moment, a floating island lord from the Divine Country passed by, glanced at the two, and said: "Do you mean she rose through her looks?"
The two were startled and quickly shook their heads.
"We didn’t say that."
"Haha, I’d advise you to get rid of those dirty thoughts; Minister Zhuang is not only a Superpower User but she has the Mind Reading Technique."
"Even if you don’t say it out loud, if you think it, she can sense it."
The floating island lord from the Divine Country sneered.
The two Jingzhou floating island lords instantly turned pale and quickly shut their mouths.
"Brother, you’re from the Divine Country? How do you know so much?"
The floating island lord from the Divine Country looked complicated, sighed, and said: "Ah, if I hadn’t run away back then, I might have joined Yangshan."
This person was none other than Pei Yuanhu, the former Sect Leader of the Water God Sect!
When the Anbian Army and others received news that the Divine Country had been breached, they fled immediately.
Pei Yuanhu, after much contemplation this time, didn’t flee again but stayed earnestly.
He and Liang Yuan didn’t have major hatred.
The grudge from the Water God Sect’s fall had long been resolved with the mediation of the Guangfu Military.
He believed Liang Yuan wouldn’t be so petty to target him again.
Indeed, it turned out that way. After the Divine Country was defeated and Shang Di became Liang Yuan’s slave.
Pei Yuanhu was petrified for a long time, fearing Liang Yuan might come to seek revenge.
Yet, no matter how long he waited, no one came to question him.
It wasn’t until one day when Shang Di called him for a talk did he learn that Liang Yuan hadn’t even considered them as past enemies.
At that time, Shang Di told him a sentence, which he still remembers to this day.
"What kind of person is the master? How can people like you even think they’d matter to him?"
"Set aside your ridiculous thoughts, the master probably already forgot who you are, do you think he’d treat you as an eyesore? Do you even qualify?"
These words were extremely damaging and highly insulting.
At that time, Pei Yuanhu didn’t feel insulted, rather, he felt the distance between the image of Liang Yuan in his mind and reality.
His impression of Liang Yuan remained at the time of the Water God Sect.
Yet, so much has passed, and Liang Yuan climbed to heights he couldn’t even hope to reach.
He had completely lost sight of Liang Yuan’s figure.
He thought Liang Yuan would still hold a grudge against them.
He didn’t realize, Liang Yuan had even forgotten about them, those stray dogs.
Since then, Pei Yuanhu has calmed himself, no longer engaging in messy studies, focusing solely on honing his superpower, researching gene recombination.
Now, in the midst of the battle between the Divine Country and Jingzhou, several experts died.
Because of his considerable prowess, he was appointed a floating island lord.
Only then did he realize how laughable it was that he used his cunning and tricks to fight for a floating island in the Miyuan Rainforest.
"Once your strength reaches the level, these things become as simple as picking them out of the pocket."
Pei Yuanhu bitterly smiled at himself, feeling a sudden realization.
At this moment, he sympathized more with the Anbian Army, Wu Meng, and others.
These people tried everything to escape Yangshan’s domain.
Thinking that staying would lead to retaliation from Mr. Liang.
Looking back now, it was truly laughable.
Even opposing figures like Shang Di, Hong Tianyi were accepted by Mr. Liang, making them work for him.
What are the Anbian Army and those people worth?
Mr. Liang probably truly forgot about them.
Pei Yuanhu adjusted his clothes, glanced at the two Jingzhou floating island lords, and said: "Don’t harbor any dubious thoughts here, there are experts all over."
The two floating island lords from Jingzhou smiled awkwardly and quickly nodded.
Pei Yuanhu chuckled and then swept his gaze and suddenly spotted old acquaintances from Guangfu Military District, Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong.
He immediately rejoiced and quickly approached them.
These two were old friends, counted as past connections.
Now, wanting to return to Yangshan’s core, these two were his ticket.
What better time than now to hold onto them?
"Haha, Commander Zhang, Feng Jianjun, long time no see."
Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jianjun were chatting and suddenly heard someone greeting them.
The two turned back, somewhat surprised.
Seeing it was Pei Yuanhu, they were both a bit bewildered.
"Pei Yuanhu? What are you doing here?" Zhang Yujiang asked.
Feng Jiangong also scrutinized Pei Yuanhu, ensuring he wasn’t sneaking in before asking: "Where did you come from?"
Pei Yuanhu smiled wryly and said: "It was wrong of me to leave without saying goodbye back then, I hope you two forgive me. I came from the Divine Country."
Zhang Yujiang heard this, and he, too, awkwardly smiled: "So you went to the Divine Country afterwards, we mentioned looking for you at that time."
Pei Yuanhu hearing this only internally sneered.
Back then, Zhang Yujiang privately built an ark planning to escape, not leaving him a spot.
Upon discovering this, Pei Yuanhu planned in advance to leave, fleeing to the Divine Country.
Of course, the matter is now past, and Zhang Yujiang wouldn’t acknowledge it, nor would Pei Yuanhu confront him on it.
At that moment, he laughed heartily: "It’s all in the past, let’s not talk about it."
"By the way, you two, I’m now serving as an island lord of the Divine Country’s Thunderbolt Island. When you have time, you’re welcome to visit."
Zhang Yujiang and Feng Jiangong were surprised, not expecting Pei Yuanhu to be quite prosperous after leaving.
As Pei Yuanhu stormed when he lost his floating island in Miyuan Rainforest, nearly seeking out Liang Yuan.
It was Zhang Yujiang who stopped him.
Did not expect him to now owe a floating island.
