This round of ruthless plundering lasted a very long time. Yang Qian seemed to want to use this kind of method to mark his own prey, to brand his body with his own traces, and to fiercely obliterate and cover up the scent of others.

It was unknown whether it was because of the pain in his body or the sadness in his heart that Ye Ming’s tears flowed on without stopping.

The person who was tormenting him right now was the person he loved the most, ah. They’d met back when they were still very, very young… he’d loved him for several years, and what had made him grateful was, this person also loved him back. They originally had such a beautiful future.

But, the transformation of this world turned everything to dust in an instant. MOAIHc

Just because he didn’t have enough strength, he wasn’t able to protect the person he loved. They were forced to separate, and to hurt each other.

When he said those words to make Yang Qian leave this place, no one knew how painful and hopeless he felt inside. If sacrificing himself would let Yang Qian live on, then he would do so without a shred of hesitation. Unfortunately, it was of no use. If Huo Yi wanted to kill Yang Qian, the only thing he could do was pretend he didn’t know anything, then let Huo Yi drive him away from here.

Far, far away from here…

If he left this place, there would still be a ray of hope for survival…

1LnJ5s

Even in his dreams, he fantasized about the day of their reunion. He lived like a walking corpse in this place, imagining how this person would descend from the sky, returning to rescue him from this hell.

He finally waited until this person returned, but it wasn’t to save him, but rather to trample him in even deeper.

Ultimately, he sank deeper into hell.

Not even the little fantasy hidden in the depths of his heart, his extravagant hopes, were left for him. qWRfpv

Ye Ming fainted and then woke up again. He opened his eyes dully, and looked up. He’d thought that he could already endure anything, but once the person inflicting harm became the person that he loved, he finally knew how difficult it was to bear.

Compared to before, it was infinitely more difficult to bear.

Yang Qian clutched Ye Ming’s neck, licked away the blood on his wounds, and let out a deep laugh, “You don’t like it? Aren’t you okay with doing anything for the sake of a good life? Or do you feel like I can’t give you what you want?”

Ye Ming shut his eyes in misery. DsjiCt

When Yang Qian saw him like this, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and his gaze chilled again. Really irritating, ah… you could choose Huo Yi, so why won’t you even try to please me a little bit.

Do you think I’m inferior to Huo Yi? Then, I’ll kill him for you to see!

Yang Qian clenched his fists. After a long time, he said in an ice-cold, piercing voice, “Get off.”

He paused a bit, then added, “As a slave, you’re not qualified to be on the bed. When we’re done, scram.” i6AD8W

But Yang Qian suddenly pulled on the chain, and directly attached one end to the bedpost.

Ye Ming’s expression finally shifted, and he uttered in a hoarse and pained voice, “Didn’t you… want me to get off…”

Yang Qian’s lips curled up, his gaze frigid, “Haven’t you already gotten off?” lk1634

Too many things had happened today, and the torment from before made Ye Ming’s reactions a bit slow. It took a good period of time before he understood what Yang Qian meant. His face revealed a look of extreme shame and indignation, and his lips trembled.

But Yang Qian didn’t pay any more attention to him. He directly turned off the light, and lay on the bed.

Ye Ming had been violated just now. It already hadn’t been easy for him to exert himself and stand up, but he saw that Yang Qian was just going to leave him hanging like this. Not long after, he couldn’t stand straight anymore. He gritted his teeth and desperately persisted, but his mind was foggy and his entire body ached. Finally, he swayed and fell to the ground, bringing the chain on his neck along with a clattering sound.

Ye Ming had fallen onto the ground. Because of the cold, he could only shrink into a ball. His fingers grasped the chain, a dismal look in his eyes. pYh02r

You’ve come back to take revenge on me… haven’t you…

You blame me for choosing Huo Yi back then and leaving you. I never imagined that you would hate me this much…

Yang Qian was breathing evenly, and seemed to have fallen asleep very quickly. But actually, he wasn’t sleeping at all. From beginning to end, his attention had always been focused on the person on the ground next to him. He was worried about whether Ye Ming’s body could stand it or not, worried about whether or not he would get sick. After all, Ye Ming wasn’t an ability-user, and was just an ordinary human being.

But Yang Qian couldn’t forget about everything that had happened two years ago, nor could he forget this person’s betrayal. xVPQNX

Or was he supposed to still coax him and flatter him like he’d done in the past after he came back? He couldn’t do it.

No matter how painful it was or how reluctant he was, he still had to let him have a taste of the suffering he’d endured! Even though he probably wouldn’t understand it at all… not even one ten-thousandth of what he’d had to endure…

You don’t even know what I’ve been through, but even if you did, you probably wouldn’t care, ba.

You only care about yourself. wmA0FM

Ever since he awakened his abilities, Yang Qian’s five senses had become much sharper. He could hear the sounds of Ye Ming breathing, and could see clearly in the dark. He sensed that Ye Ming should already be asleep. Only then, did he sit up softly, turn his head, and look at the man at the foot of the bed.

After struggling for a long time, Yang Qian revealed an anguished and depressed expression. He finally took out a blanket, and gently covered Ye Ming’s body with it.

After a while, he forced himself to retract his hand that was suspended in mid-air.

……………… SWr0qe

Although there was a very thick carpet on the ground, Ye Ming still maintained that he hadn’t slept too comfortably that night. When he woke up and found the blanket on him, he thought in his heart that Yang Qian was a lot more soft-hearted than he’d predicted.

【Ye Ming: Am I sick? Why don’t I feel like it, ah?】

【888: You’re not sick. You’re doing splendidly.】

【Ye Ming: Still not sick after all this! Am I not an ordinary human being?】 zJyYj0

【888: You’re an ordinary man, not a delicate young maiden who can be knocked over with a gust of wind. Who says you have to be sick?】

【Ye Ming: …】

【Ye Ming: Then, how can I get sick? Some people don’t want to sleep on the carpet anymore QAQ】

【888: Then good luck getting tormented, ah. I believe in you.】 g2SCc1

【Ye Ming: …】

Ye Ming’s stomach grumbled with hunger, so he opened his eyes.

But, there actually wasn’t anyone else in the room. Yang Qian had left in the morning. Ye Ming thought in his heart that this was too much, he actually left him at home by himself. He could only wrap himself up inside his blanket and assume a mournful state.

When Yang Qian came back, it was almost noon. There was still a thick scent of blood coming from his body, as though he had walked back from a Shura Field, and it was unknown how much blood his hands were stained with. RLTUDv

Ye Ming lifted his gaze to glance at him, then slightly turned his head to the side, looking away.

Yang Qian came up to him, then condescendingly looked down at him from above. He took out a piece of clothing and tossed it in front of him. He unfastened the chain and said, “Dirty as hell, go wash up.”

Ye Ming listened to Yang Qian’s degrading words. His pallid face first flushed, before paling again. In the end, he still picked up the clothes in mortification. Compared to Yang Qian’s humiliation, what he couldn’t stand even more was not having a single piece of clothing to cover his body with.

By the time Ye Ming finished cleaning up and putting on the clothes before coming out, Yang Qian was sitting at the dining table. The table was set with a sumptuous meal. otwDfA

Ye Ming had been starved for almost an entire day and night. Looking at the food, he felt an instinctual craving, but he didn’t go over there immediately, because the current Yang Qian felt unfamiliar and made him uneasy. He didn’t know what kinds of things he would do.

He hated him this much.

Yang Qian’s dark eyes gazed at Ye Ming deeply. He lightly chuckled, “Come here.”

Originally, Ye Ming didn’t want to go over, but after hesitating a bit, he still walked over in the end. fyWgot

Yang Qian lightly tapped his finger on the table, a playful smile on his lips, “Hungry yet?”

Ye Ming swallowed, but he didn’t answer.

Although there wasn’t particularly that much food on the table, and they were all more common ingredients, after the apocalypse, it was already most extravagant. While countless people ate simple and crude meals in order to fill their stomachs, this table of food was something many people wouldn’t dare to think of even in their wildest dreams. There was even a bottle of red wine placed on the side.

Yang Qian laughed, and said slowly, “At the time, you told me that you could have a better life if you went with Huo Yi. Look… in fact, being with me is the same. Whatever he could give you, I can also give to you now.” cbIAkl

Ye Ming’s gaze was complicated and pained. He thought of Yang Qian’s ruthlessness yesterday, and also looked at his current countenance. After a long silence, he finally mustered up the courage to say, “Back then when I said those things, I also had no other choice…”

Yang Qian didn’t appear to be angry, and only lightly said, “I understand. After all, many people are like this now. As long as they can live well, what’s wrong with choosing a better way out?”

As soon as Ye Ming heard this, he knew that Yang Qian didn’t believe him. He still thought that he chose Huo Yi for a better life. But, how could he prove himself? He really did abandon Yang Qian, and gave up everything in order to follow Huo Yi. The facts were laid before them… a verbal explanation seemed pale and weak in comparison.

And with some things, even if he said them out loud, would Yang Qian believe them? KmkL2S

Yang Qian picked up a ham and vegetable sandwich and held it in front of Ye Ming. There seemed to be a flash of fleeting tenderness in his eyes. “Since you’re my person now, I won’t treat you poorly.”

Ye Ming looked at Yang Qian. He was a bit baffled, and a bit on guard. Didn’t Yang Qian hate him? Why was he suddenly treating him well? What was the meaning of this?

Ye Ming suffered and struggled in his heart. He felt he shouldn’t accept Yang Qian’s advances. After all, he had just humiliated and hurt him like that. But Yang Qian hated him for a reason. He was the one who betrayed him first… and this was the cruel world after the apocalypse. This was already no longer the world they once knew… here everyone did whatever they could, by fair means or foul, to survive. Humans had already lost the capital to affect a proud demeanor.

If you wanted to live, you had to give up many things. I8Srgy

Finally, his instinct to satisfy his hunger prevailed, and Ye Ming slowly reached out, about to accept the sandwich from Yang Qian’s hands. But before he could touch it, Yang Qian suddenly loosened his grip, and the sandwich fell to the ground, while the ham and vegetables inside were scattered around and covered in dust.

After the apocalypse, food had become the most valuable commodity. People could even kill others for a slice of bread, yet Yang Qian had actually chucked it away like this.

With a strange smile on his lips, Yang Qian slowly said, “Eat up. I was very satisfied last night. This is the precious food you got in exchange for your body. Best not waste it.”

By the time he reached the last part, the tone of his voice had become dangerous and cold. lj3bnz

Ye Ming’s expression changed, and his body slightly swayed.

【Ye Ming: What a waste, what a waste! Anything else is fine, but wasting food is intolerable! My meat, ahhhhh

【888: …】

【Ye Ming: I’m going to starve to death la la la la7OAT4C


The translator has something to say: as a fellow foodie, ahhhhh (ಠ ∩ಠ)

  1. You know, to solve this he could say something along the lines of, “B*tch! I’m the reason why you’re even alive!” But that’s out of character so it’s a no go.

  2. Lol, if Huo Yi treated Ye Ming better than that, then aren’t you making your life worse, Yang Qian, by allowing Ye Ming to compare you two? If he ends up wanting Huo You more than you, you’ve got yourself to blame lol

    Thanks for the chapter! 😘

    • ngl I kinda feel like his group fell into the trap of “you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”… Huo Yi was basically a tyrant, but it’s difficult to see right now how what they’re doing is any different or better…

      thanks for reading!

  3. I feel I wanna strangle the ml this time

    Yes it was Ye Ming fault to be so ‘cruel’ but at least he has a reason

    OR ELSE YOU WOULD’NT BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW

    SPICY CHICKEN JUST YOU WAIT FOR YOUR REBUTATION!!!

    • tsk tsk, he’s rlly acting like a spicy chicken in this world… if Ye Ming-gege had a favorability value, I wonder where it’d be for him right now… ˁ˙˟˙ˀ

  4. This is the first time around I’m not like “YM u got ur dum*ss into this mess” like he really didn’t mean for it to be that bad, so I don’t feel bad at all for this ML
