A cold light descended, and black smoke coiled around the chill light that pierced through the large flower. The core of the stamen revealed a crystal the size of a date pit.
The petals were twisted together by an invisible force, preventing the poisonous gas from escaping.
"Seeking death."
As the icy voice fell, the great red flower was crushed.
It struggled in its final moments, its vines flailing wildly, shredding the surrounding vegetation into pieces.
Luo Luo resisted with all her might, nearing her limit.
Lan Mi switched to scatter shot laser mode, but the number of vines far exceeded her ammunition.
After the corpse poison seeped into everyone's skin, purple patches appeared on their bodies, and even Juanzi's laser eyes were greatly weakened.
"So annoying."
The cold light enveloped the flower's body, and it rapidly decomposed and scattered, starting from the petals.
With the main body destroyed, the roots and stems quickly withered, lying brittlely on the ground, shattering at a touch.
An Nuan narrowed her eyes, observing the man who had slain the great red flower.
His skin was very fair, and under the moonlight, he seemed to be bathed in a cold, silvery glow, making his handsome and sharp features even more icy and ethereal.
His lips were devoid of much color, yet An Nuan inexplicably felt... very tender, soft, and springy.
They looked delicious...
An Nuan swallowed, annoyed at her own unseemly state.
"Long time no see."
Fu Yunting approached slowly, stepping on withered branches.
The unique fragrance emanating from him was delicate and lingering, yet carried a chilling aura...
"You've been infected by corpse poison?"
His long fingers bypassed An Nuan's waist and gently pulled her into his embrace.
An Nuan instinctively let out a loud gasp.
But her palm seemed to be far from his face.
The distance of one second seemed to stretch into an eternity.
What was happening...
Thump, thump...
Was her heartbeat this audible?
An Nuan stared at his jawline, the lines so smooth...
"Mmm..."
So soft!
Fu Yunting frowned.
The little fool wasn't a dog, why did she bite when she opened her mouth!
"Don't move, I'm helping you get rid of the poison."
"You... #￥#?"
What gibberish was she spouting? So foolish.
Fu Yunting cupped the back of her head, his pupils emitting a cool, golden light.
The corpse spots on An Nuan's body rapidly receded. She quickly lunged with a kick towards Fu Yunting's groin.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, releasing An Nuan and stepping back a few paces.
The bone-shaving knife sliced past him, which he dodged with ease.
"Xiao Nuan, don't! He, he is..."
"He's a shameless scoundrel! You stop right there!"
An Nuan touched her lips.
Although this man was handsome, his looks and physique were entirely to her aesthetic.
But this was her first kiss, this shameless scoundrel!
"You stop right there, if I don't kill you, I'm not An Nuan!"
An Nuan chased Fu Yunting, slashing at him. Despite her abilities as a three-star ability user, she couldn't catch up to him.
Fu Yunting pinched the blade with two fingers.
"Calm down!"
"Let go!"
"I saved you twice, and instead of saying thank you, you want to attack me?"
Twice? An Nuan blinked.
His jawline did look familiar, but there were no fangs.
Fu Yunting opened his mouth, revealed his fangs, and then quickly retracted them.
He disliked these fangs and didn't want anyone to see them.
An Nuan was stunned.
It was the person from below the department store!
"Xiao Nuan..."
Luo Luo and the others were all afflicted with corpse poison, the toxins spreading rapidly, reaching their necks.
If it spread to their brains, it would result in death at best, or turning into zombies at worst.
An Nuan looked at her own body; it had indeed returned to normal.
This was truly peculiar!
In her past life, corpse poison was the most potent, and many teams and organizations were researching it.
Most zombie toxins were minimal; only a five-tier zombie could yield 5 units of it.
Hai Changfeng cried out in agony, "Damn it!"
"I saw my life flash before my eyes, I thought I was going to die!"
"Corpse poison is so potent, even my armor couldn't stop it, it's too overbearing."
Seeing everyone return to normal, a fire surged within An Nuan.
"Bastard, you played me!"
Fu Yunting quickly grabbed her wrist, but this time An Nuan was serious.
With all her might, her knife, from a distance of thirty centimeters, cut his face, drawing blood.
An Nuan took a deep breath and cursed.
"Asshole, you clearly could have used the crystal to absorb the corpse poison, yet you..."
My first kiss!
An Nuan drew her second bone-shaving knife with her left hand and launched a surprise attack from behind Fu Yunting.
Luo Luo quickly stopped her.
"Xiao Nuan, don't act like this! Look closely, don't you recognize him?"
"What do you mean? You know him?"
Luo Luo nodded.
Lan Mi nodded.
Hai Changfeng also nodded along.
It was understandable that the children didn't recognize him, but among these adults, very few didn't.
Especially the old employees who had worked at An's Group, who wouldn't recognize Fu Yunting.
He was the fiancé of the group's heir!
An Nuan was utterly bewildered...
"Is he someone you know?"
"Xiao Nuan, think harder."
An Nuan stared at him for a long time but couldn't recall who he was.
A man so handsome and yet so detestable should be unforgettable.
She shook her head, truly unable to remember.
Luo Luo was speechless.
She knew Xiao Nuan disliked her grandmother's arranged marriage, but at least she should remember basic information about the person.
"Xiao Nuan, his name is Fu Yunting."
"What did you say his name was?"
"Fu Yunting, your fiancé!"
Chang Kai Tong was stunned, Chen Wen Jing was a bit bewildered, and Mi Shuang Shuang looked like she was enjoying the drama, whistling.
"Ah Nuan, your fiancé is quite handsome!"
An Nuan didn't know how to react to everyone.
In her previous life, she had been utterly annoyed that she wasn't allowed to mention Fu Yunting or anything about the Fu family during their engagement.
After living through an apocalypse, she had long forgotten what the Fu family looked like.
In this life, having had no contact with the Fu family, how could she possibly remember Fu Yunting's face!
Who would have thought that entering the apocalypse would bring out a fiancé.
Damn it, damn it!
Fu Yunting swallowed the crystal, and a wave of energy surged from his chest, quickly absorbing the crystal.
An Nuan couldn't gauge his level, but she was certain it was above hers.
Even she, in her current state, might not be able to smoothly digest the energy from that crystal.
Fu Yunting's cold eyes swept over the people present, his gaze particularly harsh when he saw the men.
"My name is Fu Yunting, and I am An Nuan's future husband."
