Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 382 - 394: Little Turtle in Danger!

Chapter 382: Chapter 394: Little Turtle in Danger!

The disturbances outside did not affect Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue at the Li River Base City in the slightest.

Once the zombie farm operation starts, the amount of flesh needed each day is not a small sum. Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue would go to the Li River every day to harvest mutated ferocious fish together.

Of course, Lu Chuan wouldn’t take up too much of Ji Ruxue’s time, since his own Little Qiqi isn’t a zombie and doesn’t tire out. He wouldn’t want his precious daughter to exhaust herself because of it.

Li River Base City, villa district.

In the bedroom, Ji Ruxue sat cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, focusing her energy cultivation technique to absorb the surrounding energy, emitting a fifth-grade aura.

Inside her, waves of energy surged through the meridians like tide, continuously transforming into spiritual essence, and blending into the spirit pill.

The once slowly spinning spirit pill trembled slightly, emitting a dazzling spiritual light with faintly menacing waves.

And as the spiritual essence continuously flood in, the aura Ji Ruxue emitted rose slowly, akin to climbing a mountain, not fast but visibly increasing.

Feeling her cultivation steadily growing, Ji Ruxue, unmoving, had a slight smile on the corner of her lips.

Over these days, apart from helping her dad hunt those mutated ferocious fish in the Li River, almost all of her remaining time was dedicated to training.

You could say, she was more diligent than before.

The urgency Ji Ruxue felt since her dad conquered the Li River Base City didn’t diminish, instead, as events unfolded, grew even stronger.

Because recently it’s been too calm, a major event like the extinction of Li River Base City seemed completely unnoticed by nearby base cities, which was too abnormal.

With memories of the apocalypse from her past life, Ji Ruxue understood this was not typical human behavior. Humans were likely plotting a major conspiracy in secret.

Ji Ruxue was hurriedly training to elevate her strength before humans struck.

If possible, advancing to the sixth stage would be even better, so when facing human aggression, she could handle it more easily and reduce more pressure on her dad.

After some time, feeling her meridians reaching the limit with a faint soreness, Ji Ruxue slowly opened her eyes, ceasing her energy cultivation technique, and her aura quickly receded within.

“It’s almost eleven; Dad should be done cooking; let’s go out!”

Glancing at the clock on the table, Ji Ruxue’s eyes gleamed before she climbed out of bed, slipped on her pink slippers, and walked downstairs.

Quickly arriving downstairs, Ji Ruxue suddenly discovered Dad had already cooked all the dishes.

“Fish again? Dad, can we eat something different? If we keep eating this, Qiqi will grow fish scales.”

Unexpectedly, the next second, Ji Ruxue sat in the chair, looking at the bowl of braised fish, and her face soured.

Dad indeed cooked fish well, and it suited his palate, but no matter how delicious, it can’t be eaten day after day!

This constant fish eating had made her sick of it.

Although the fish was still the same and tasted good, somehow, when looking at the fish in the bowl, Ji Ruxue mostly smelled a fishy scent, greatly reducing her appetite.

Not far away, hearing this, Lu Chuan laughed a little, feeling a bit helpless inside.

He couldn’t be blamed, as these fierce fish were easy to catch.

Nearby Li River Base City, there weren’t any mountains, so fierce beasts were scarce. Dispatching Flyer One to capture a fierce beast was quite difficult.

Even if caught sometimes, it wasn’t necessarily suitable as food material.

However, Lu Chuan naturally wanted to fulfill Little Qiqi’s requests, so he stepped forward, rubbed Little Qiqi’s head, and wrote on paper: “Got it, Little Qiqi. Dad will make something else for you tomorrow, no more fish, alright?”

“Mm! Dad, as long as it’s not fish, Qiqi is okay with anything.”

Looking at the words on the note, Ji Ruxue showed a smile and nodded heavily.

“Okay, tomorrow Dad will catch a pig for you, and cook your favorite braised ribs.

Alright, eat quickly, or else the food will get cold.”

Lu Chuan responded with a smile, writing on the paper.

Immediately, Ji Ruxue glanced at the dishes on the table, pursed her lips, and started eating.

In just a few minutes, she finished her bowl of rice and put down the chopsticks, jumping off the chair.

“Dad, I’m full; I’ll go rest in my room!”

With that, Ji Ruxue quickly headed into the bedroom, closing the door.

Lu Chuan, who was observing the surroundings of the Li River Base City through the Corpse Puppet’s vision, snapped back to reality upon hearing Little Qiqi’s voice.

Seeing the dishes on the table hardly touched, he couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.

On the other side, Ji Ruxue closed the door, picked up the cup on the table, drank a few sips, and felt content.

Then, Ji Ruxue prepared to return to bed and continue training.

However, at that moment, Ji Ruxue paused, her expression changing.

She just felt the Old Turtle was seeking her help.

What’s going on?

Ji Ruxue’s eyes were filled with confusion.

Since it entered the Li River, the Old Turtle, relying on its fourth-stage cultivation, was a top-tier entity in the river, scarcely encountering a fierce fish able to match it.

Hungry, it would catch a few fierce fish to devour, and when bored, would mischievously toy with a few fish, living freely as nothing could bother it. It was indeed living the good life.

Sometimes Ji Ruxue would even see two or three larger female fierce turtles circling around the Old Turtle…

But now the rampant Old Turtle was suddenly, and unusually, asking for rescue, really out of the ordinary, clearly it encountered a formidable foe!

Could there be a fierce beast capable of threatening the Old Turtle in the Li River?

For it to call for help, it must be at least a fourth-stage fierce beast!

Fourth-stage fierce beast… Ji Ruxue couldn’t help but recall the encounter with the Black-Scaled Python on the Li River Bridge.

The creature’s power was definitely no less than the Old Turtle.

So, it was unsurprising there could be fierce fish and beasts in the Li River threatening the Old Turtle.

The Old Turtle hadn’t encountered them before likely because this stretch of Li River was the Black-Scaled Python’s territory, and other fierce beasts didn’t enter easily.

But now it’s different, the Black-Scaled Python has been dead for a while, and nearby fourth-stage fierce beasts possibly entered upon not seeing the python for so long.

Might have coincidentally confronted the Old Turtle…

Furrowing her brows, dismissing some guesses, Ji Ruxue did not hesitate. Her telekinesis gathered, swiftly flying out the window towards the Li River.

She held high hopes for the Old Turtle, ensuring nothing happens to it!
