Chapter 60: To the Green Grasslands!

Master Liu drained the wine in his glass in one gulp, then looked at Li Xingyue, raising his eyebrows with a lewd grin.

Li Xingyue truly admired Master Liu now; when it came to knowing how to have fun, he was still the undisputed master!

They had already gone at it once earlier at the Corpse-Hunting Branch, and now they were at it again. His stamina was certainly immense, and his body was remarkably robust!

Li Xingyue stopped looking at him, smoking a cigarette while picking at the dishes with his chopsticks. He had only eaten a few light snacks in the morning, and after several hours of digestion, he was starving again.

At this moment, Master Liu's excitement reached its peak. Looking at Wang Feng with a slightly trembling voice, he said, "Wang Feng, you, you really found a great partner. I, I'm dying of envy. Ah—gentle, please!"

With a hazy look in his eyes, Wang Feng let out a silly, chuckling laugh. "Haha, come on, Master Liu, with your status, *burp*—what kind of woman can't you get? I've got great resources here, high-flyers all over the city."

Master Liu shook his head, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "I'm not interested in those skinny ones. I'm all about SUVs and BBWs, hehe!"

Hearing this, Wang Feng looked completely surprised and exceptionally happy. "I never expected our tastes to be identical! Cheers, Master Liu, to you!"

At this point, Li Xingyue found it hard to keep listening. As an outsider watching the scene unfold with absolute clarity, he felt Master Liu was behaving quite immorally.

However, he had no intention of sticking up for Wang Feng either, considering Wang Feng was no saint himself.

Perhaps this was simply a case of villains getting a taste of their own medicine.

Li Xingyue filled his own glass to the brim, then tapped it against Wang Feng's glass. "Come on, Brother Wang, let's toast to the green, grassy plains together!"

"Alright! Let's toast to the green grass... Huh? Brother Dazhuang, why..."

"Oh, just drink up! Once you finish it, you won't care about anything anymore!"

Master Liu nodded. "Right, right—hurry up!"

Huh? Was it ending already?

Just as Li Xingyue was making guesses, Master Liu let out a loud roar.

At the same time, Wenwen sat back down on her stool.

Li Xingyue turned to glance at Master Liu, noticing that his eyes were extraordinarily clear now, completely devoid of any lewd or evil intent.

Truly, lustful as a demon before the act, holy as a Buddha after it!

Wang Feng had just picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks when he noticed Wenwen beside him, his eyes wide with astonishment.

"Huh? Wenwen, when did you get here? Oh no wait, when did you appear? How come I didn't see you walk in?"

"Must be starving, hurry up and eat!"

Blushing, Wenwen glanced at Master Liu, then at Wang Feng, and finally at Li Xingyue.

???

What do you mean by looking at me?

Damn it, there isn't a single decent soul in this room besides myself!

Li Xingyue looked away and used his chopsticks to pick up a couple more bites. Feeling about eighty or ninety percent full now, he was just thinking about finding Liu Shuang to ask about something when he felt a vibration in his pocket.

Pulling out his phone, he saw a WeChat notification.

*(Note: The chat app is directly set as WeChat, explained here.)*

Unlocking the phone, he saw seven new messages.

***

[Ghost Night has sent you a friend request.]
[Tyrant has sent you a friend request.]
[Your Dad has sent you a friend request.]
[Nun has sent you a friend request.]
[Blood Moon has sent you a friend request.]
[Succubus has sent you a friend request.]
[Your Grandma has sent you a friend request.]

Good grief, they were all adding him.

Though it seemed a couple of trolls had snuck in!

Li Xingyue directly accepted the others, while rejecting Sweetie and Asura.

Less than half a minute later, Asura started tagging Li Xingyue in the group chat.

"What the hell, what do you mean by that, kid?"

"You'd better add me back right now, or I'll come over to Freedom City and tear you apart!"

Look at that, throwing a tantrum already!

Casually, Li Xingyue added the two of them back.

Ding, ding, ding~

Ghost Night initiated a video call.

Li Xingyue tapped the green accept button, and Ghost Night's figure instantly appeared on the screen, set against the backdrop of a villa's living room wall.

"What are you up to, bro?"

Li Xingyue pointed his phone camera at the dining table.

"Eating, what else? Having roast duck, see? And drinking beer. What's up?"

"Nothing much, just testing out the video call."

Just as Ghost Night finished speaking, the phone was snatched away by Asura.

"What's up, young master? Eating good food all by yourself again, and drinking too? What, wasn't enough for you yesterday?"

"......Hang up, the phone's about to die!"

"Wait! Wait!"

"Are you out of your mind, Asura!"

Blood Moon shouted in a panic, snatching the phone back and giving Asura a kick in the process.

"Listen, get me 20 different JK skirts and bring them back tonight!"

Li Xingyue had thought they missed him, but it turned out they were treating him as a delivery boy!

"Are you insane? I literally just walked out the door, and you're already asking me to bring stuff back?"

***

At that moment, Tyrant chimed in from the side as well. "That's right, Xingyue, bring me a few cases of liquor too, and make sure it's high-proof!"

Asura: "Yeah, young master, I heard there's a new brand of electronic cigarettes out, get me one!"

Succubus: "Then little brother, bring me some perfume."

Nun: "I want a diamond ring and a bracelet."

Sweetie: "I want a little bear pillow!"

Hearing the commotion, Wang Feng leaned over to take a look. "Brother Dazhuang, you've got quite a lot of brothers and sisters."

Covering his phone screen, Li Xingyue forced an awkward laugh. "Ah, they're just my little servants throwing tantrums at home. Never mind them, keep drinking!"

Master Liu, who had been busy freshening up Wenwen just moments before, finally noticed that Li Xingyue was on a video call.

He hurriedly patted his pockets, searching around until he also pulled out a phone.

"Right, Brother Dazhuang, let's add each other as friends so we can stay in touch on WeChat."

"Huh? Why is the signal so bad?"

Beep~

Li Xingyue directly hung up the video call.

"Come on, Master Liu, I'll scan you!"

Li Xingyue scanned the QR code and quickly added Master Liu.

No sooner had he finished adding him than his phone rang with another video call. Li Xingyue directly muted the phone and slipped it back into his trouser pocket.

"What are you doing? Let go of me right now!"

"Stop making a fuss, you stinking bitch, and go properly entertain my boss, or don't force me to slap you!"

Two voices suddenly echoed from outside the private room, audible to everyone inside.

Master Liu shook his head. "Tsk tsk, how boring. What's fun about forcing someone?"

None of them made a move, and Li Xingyue had no intention of going out either. After all, such incidents were far too common in the apocalypse; they were impossible to save everyone from, and the social climate was no longer what it used to be.

The noble virtues of playing the hero and upholding justice had long since vanished; nowadays, everyone simply looked out for themselves.

"Wait! If you keep this up, I'll report you to the Corpse-Hunting Branch!"

At that moment, another female voice rang out.

"Hahaha, go ahead and look for them, little bitch, see if your Freedom City's Corpse-Hunting Branch dares to meddle with us?"

"We are here to aid your Freedom City. Dare to provoke us, and we'll pull back to Iron City immediately!" K

"By then, hmph, your Freedom City will be trampled flat by the zombie horde!"

Huh? Why did that girl's voice sound so familiar?
