Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 49

Unlike Lin Shuangshuang’s depression, Li Wenbo, who had resolved a major issue, looked relaxed and went off to train with Song Yuhang’s teammates. They had all tasted the wonders of strength improvement and trained themselves day and night, afraid they’d progress less than others and feel embarrassed!

But there was an exception, their leader Song Yuhang. Lin Shuangshuang watched as Song Yuhang was busy helping Li Wenxuan prepare food.

Since Li Wenxuan’s regular assistant Mi Lu had turned into a devoted cat servant, abandoning him to attend to the little master, Li Wenxuan could only resentfully watch Mi Lu, who only had eyes for Doumi, and randomly picked someone to assist him.

Song Yuhang was the unlucky one randomly picked by Li Wenxuan! The chef is king, and if you want to eat well, you can’t offend the chef. Song Yuhang could only resign himself to helping out.

But having Song Yuhang, someone who had never stepped into a kitchen, assist could only end with him being disliked by Li Wenxuan from head to toe!

Finally, in anger, Song Yuhang got up and directly picked up Mi Lu, who was serving Doumi, and in her bewildered gaze, threw her in front of Li Wenxuan, then sat down to pull apart ant leg meat for Doumi.

Then, Song Yuhang was criticized in his mind by Doumi, who still couldn’t express himself well in its childish manner, for not shredding the meat enough, being too forceful, not cleaning the meat properly, wasting meat still in the shell, meat...

Song Yuhang...

At this moment, Song Yuhang’s mood mysteriously synchronized with Lin Shuangshuang’s earlier one. Was he having a bad day, or was it a streak of bad luck? After being chastised by Lin Shuangshuang, he was then criticized by Li Wenxuan, and now even a cat was becoming such a chore!

But then, seeing Li Wenxuan daringly ordering even his leader around to collect nectar, Song Yuhang felt balanced again.

The leader, Lin Shuangshuang, who was being daringly ordered by Li Wenxuan to collect nectar, was at this moment holding a large glass jar, avoiding flower thorns, and jumping down from the leaves of a three-meter-tall mutated giant rose.

This tree-like rose had bloomed with only eight flowers, each as big as a grinding disc, with petals layered and beautiful like a dream. While collecting nectar, Lin Shuangshuang couldn’t resist picking a petal with the best appearance, planning to ask Li Wenxuan if it could be made into something delicious and to get two more glass jars, as there was quite a bit of nectar, more than she could hold!

Just as Lin Shuangshuang jumped down, she saw Xiao Ling holding two glass jars, looking at her with a charming smile, which, though delicate, was no longer the timid and dependent look needing protection!

Seeing Lin Shuangshuang jump down, Xiao Ling took the initiative to speak, ”I saw that the flower is so big and guessed that the jar Sister took earlier might not be enough, so I brought some for you.”

Lin Shuangshuang stood in front of Xiao Ling, noting the pleasing smile on her face, and said indifferently, ”Isn’t this quite comfortable!”

Xiao Ling completely understood Lin Shuangshuang’s intention, despite the lack of context. She smiled and gently brushed her hair aside, her smile as gentle as spring rain.

”I was afraid that Sister would reject me, that’s why I acted that way! I know Sister is kind-hearted; even if I didn’t ask you, you probably would have gotten enough food for us to travel to the base on our own. However, that would result in many people dying along the way. Following someone as strong in martial power as Sister would surely reduce deaths, maybe even prevent them entirely. I know people like Sister, who seem indifferent and unfeeling but have soft hearts, so I instinctively chose to show weakness! It seems I made the right choice.”

Xiao Ling finished speaking, her gaze intentionally lingering on Red Jade and Doumi, ”Even such powerful creatures can be tamed by you to be so obedient. Sister is indeed powerful! I noticed under that spider’s abdomen, there are many eggs. The spider is so huge that hatching the eggs mustn’t be easy. However, those eggs look pure white like jade, and there seems to be movement inside; they must be alive. I think Sister gathered so many bugs today to ensure that the big spider named Red Jade can hatch all of those eggs successfully, right? If all the spider eggs hatch, Sister’s future prospects are boundless!”

Lin Shuangshuang’s face darkened. She disliked these shrewd people who could analyze a ton of stuff with just one look. ”I hate cunning women, even more so those who pretend to be innocent while calculating!”

”But Sister, you agreed to my request, and you’re not angry now, are you!” Xiao Ling continued to smile warmly, the breeze rustling her hair and skirt, making her look sweet like the girl next door, yet the look she gave Lin Shuangshuang was mischievous.

Lin Shuangshuang...

Indeed, she wasn’t angry. This girl named Xiao Ling gave her a similar vibe to Li Man, both appearing cunning, able to see through people’s hearts. However, Li Man would never reveal her calculating side, even when the enemy is dead. She’d never take off her mask!

Xiao Ling, on the other hand, exposed her cunning right in front of Lin Shuangshuang, whether it was her feigning weakness, her abilities, her intelligence, or her status among her people, including her calculations towards Lin Shuangshuang.

This was an open and honorable scheme, and Lin Shuangshuang was defenseless against it because all of Xiao Ling’s calculations were about finding a way for her people to survive rather than harming anyone.

Lin Shuangshuang felt stifled inside. She encountered a fake innocent lotus! Why is it in both her past and present lives she has such a fate with women deeply scheming!

”What exactly do you want from telling me all this? Don’t tell me you came to have some casual chat!” Lin Shuangshuang didn’t want to beat around the bush and asked bluntly.

Xiao Ling once again tucked her hair behind her ear, continuing to smile gently and innocently: ”Sister, you are actually very smart; you can see through many things. But you aren’t good at scheming, and, with your introverted nature, you’re not adept at dealing with unfamiliar people. But I can make up for these deficiencies of yours! I can help you with these things you dislike and are not good at! I wish to show my loyalty to Sister, hoping you will accept my devotion!”

Haha! Is she trying to make her eat her words? She just said she would send talent to Song Yuhang’s base, then immediately goes back on her word trying to poach them for herself. Lin Shuangshuang couldn’t lower herself to do such a shameless thing, and she was also a bit wary of bringing someone as cunning as Xiao Ling into their team. If she happened to get schemed against, she might not even realize what was happening.

Xiao Ling recognized Lin Shuangshuang’s hesitation and concern. She didn’t rush but continued in a gentle voice: ”I understand Sister’s worries. You don’t have to trust me entirely from the start. Since you promised to bring us to the base, along this journey, I will prove to you my trustworthiness!”
