I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 563: Chapter 224: Review Expert, Water Monarch, Can You Read? (5k)

Wen Yan looked at the woman collapsed on the ground, who appeared graceful and radiant. But upon closer inspection, she didn’t seem human.

”You hired an assistant, and it’s okay that she’s not human, but how can her physical stamina be so poor? Is she a relative of yours?”

Zhuge Wanjun hurried forward, helping the fainted Misha back to her feet.

She felt quite embarrassed. Of course, she couldn’t admit that this assistant of hers, who had previously been in Virtue City, had been so frightened she lost her appetite and dared not even leave her house. After not being seen for a few days, she had almost wasted away to nothing. It happened that Wen Yan was also away during that period, so Zhuge Wanjun had brought her to Yu State.

Over a month had passed since then. Aside from not being human and being timid, she found her new assistant to be quite satisfactory in other respects.

Moreover, having an assistant from the Different Races made handling cases involving the Different Races much easier. At least, she was definitely worth the salary paid to her.

The people from South Wall Law Firm were just dealing with regular business. Zhuge Wanjun felt increasingly unable to cope alone and had to hire a professional.

But the first time she brought Misha here, the poor thing just couldn’t handle the pressure and fainted on the spot.

Zhuge Wanjun looked around. Although it was indeed terrifying, as long as there were no threats, she felt this place was actually very safe.

If it wasn’t for the Big Intersection here, she would have really considered moving to this place herself.

Wen Yan glanced at Misha lying on the ground and thought, I’ve already reined in my Yang Energy and have no intention of hurting anyone. This definitely has nothing to do with me.

He looked around but didn’t see Pei Tugou. Gauss had gone to work today and hadn’t returned yet. There didn’t seem to be any scary creatures around, right?

After thinking for a moment, Wen Yan took a cherry tomato, blessed it with some Yang Energy, and tossed it to Zhuge Wanjun.

”Feed it to her.”

The cherry tomato was stuffed into Misha’s mouth. She absorbed the moist Yang Energy along with the sweet and sour juice of the tomato. Taking a deep breath, her eyes suddenly widened.

Upon awakening, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Wen Yan.

She had heard that not human beings like her, who lived by absorbing Yang Energy, sometimes encountered beings far superior to them with abundant Yang Energy. Just one glance at such a superior being could be as terrifying as looking directly at the Sun.

She had always thought it was a metaphor, but today, she believed it—it really felt like staring directly at the Sun.

Just one look, and she felt she was done for.

Wen Yan inwardly sighed. Alright, now it’s clear—I’m the one who scared her into fainting. How could I, being such an easy-going person, be so frightening to someone?

Wen Yan didn’t say much more. He bade farewell to Zhuge Wanjun and went back inside the house.

Zhuge Wanjun led Misha, who was still looking down, out of the villa area with some helplessness.

”Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Although the forbidden area is a bit dangerous, I can assure you it’s very safe with me.”

Zhuge Wanjun said this with a bit of pride.

She had the inside scoop, knowing a great variety of bizarre Different Races, and she had heard all the rumors about this place.

Although she sometimes thought the rumors were outlandish, after seeing the spectacular lamp decorations here for the first time, she suddenly felt the rumors weren’t that exaggerated after all.

The Different Races and ghosts from Virtue City had indeed moved away.

For her to be able to come here and leave unharmed was seen by other Different Races as a symbol of strength.

Back in the car, Misha finally realized the food she had just eaten was rich in Yang Energy. A single cherry tomato contained enough Yang Energy to satisfy her needs for a whole month. The quality of this Yang Energy was extremely high, something she had never experienced before. Now, as it slowly dispersed inside her, she felt herself improving in various aspects.

Zhuge Wanjun glanced at Misha, whose cheeks were flushed and who had a complicated expression, and said unceremoniously, ”Stop daydreaming, and let’s get going.”

”Wan Jun, what did I just eat?”

”It looked like a cherry tomato. He gave it to you out of kindness because you fainted. As for the rest, don’t ask me, I don’t know anything.”

”Oh...”

Misha sounded a bit regretful and annoyed at herself for fainting.

Seeing Misha’s reaction, Zhuge Wanjun suspected the seemingly innocent cherry tomato was not so simple. Just that one tomato has visibly improved Misha’s complexion. Knowing Misha, it must contain a large amount of Yang Energy.

She had to warn this little assistant, in case she accidentally took the wrong path and ended up hanging from a lamp post.

”Do your job well, mind your own business, and keep your nose clean. Things aren’t peaceful lately. If you get caught by others, I may not be able to save you, and I don’t want to waste time starting over with a new assistant. You understand what I mean, right?”

”I understand, Wan Jun.”

”If you do well, I’ll shamelessly go ask for another cherry tomato for you at the end of the year.”

”Thank you, Wan Jun!” Misha couldn’t hold back her excitement.

”Drive.”

”Alright.”

...

”These cherry tomatoes you sent this time must have been grown in a greenhouse. They’re not tasty.”

Sparrow Cat gnawed on a cherry tomato, furrowed its brow, then grabbed a phone and flew over to Little Zombie.

”Write a review. Say it only looks good but isn’t tasty at all. Far worse than the last batch, a ten-thousand percent not from the same batch.”
