Outside Yun's Supermarket, Ling Xue had driven the others away. She personally helped the disheveled Ye Yao to his feet, whispering something that appeared to be caring. However, upon closer inspection, it was evident that Ling Xue was using her mental ability to manipulate Ye Yao.
During lunchtime, everyone gathered in the cafeteria. Some had cooked their own meals, while others opted for takeout. This time, Yun Zhi Yue did not join Shen Chuan for a free meal; instead, she had prepared a nutritious lunch of two dishes and a soup by herself. The two sat at a table alone, enjoying their meal together.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wei Shi continued the morning's antics. A young girl was hiding in a corner, eating bread when the Bared Tooth Man passed by and knocked it out of her hands, crushing it under his filthy shoe. Following him were other Ability users who laughed mockingly. Just as they were about to take their seats, Yun Zhi Yue slammed her chopsticks on the table.
Turning to the Bared Tooth Man, she pointed at the dirty remnants of bread on the floor and said, "Eat it."
The laughter stopped abruptly. The Bared Tooth Man was an experienced Ability user and was not easily intimidated by Yun Zhi Yue's words. He exchanged a meaningful glance with Silent and Ye Yao.
"Miss Yun," he said with a hint of sarcasm, "are you trying to stand up for that girl?"
With a scoff, he added, "You can take her outside and kill her; it wouldn't concern me at all. But everything in this store is earned through my hard work. I let you buy things at pre-apocalypse prices as a courtesy."
He continued disdainfully, "If there’s too much of something, it loses its value. You think you can act high and mighty? I won’t waste my breath with you; just tell me if you're going to eat or not."
In the pre-apocalypse world, such words would have been a tremendous insult. However, after the apocalypse, people's tolerance levels had risen significantly; self-respect had become less valuable. Even in front of everyone, even when publicly humiliated, the Bared Tooth Man simply replied, "I didn’t consider that aspect; my apologies, Miss Yun. I’ll eat it."
As he bent down to pick up the bread, Yun Zhi Yue suddenly smiled sweetly and said, "You’re supposed to eat with your mouth; why are you reaching down?"
The Bared Tooth Man froze, surprise flashing in everyone's eyes. Yun Zhi Yue appeared to be that delicate sweet girl; they never expected her to speak like this.
"Miss Yun," he said stiffly, "I’ve already apologized; isn’t this a bit excessive?"
Laughter erupted around them.
Yun Zhi Yue's laughter was like a bubbling spring—pleasant to hear—but her words were entirely contradictory. "I saw you hitting people this morning; it made my hands itch. I thought we were kindred spirits since I love bullying others too. But I don’t like picking on the weak; I prefer challenging those who are difficult."
She leaned forward slightly and continued with a smirk, "Do you know how Shen Chuan got his face ruined? It was because of me! He didn’t listen to me, so I wanted to see you eat like a dog."
"Are you going to eat or not? If you don't, then all of you from Wei Shi can buy everything, but not a single item will be taken away. From now on, I won't welcome any of you from Wei Shi!"
Everyone gasped, glancing at the icy-faced Shen Chuan, especially the scar on his face, which was particularly prominent at that moment.
What the heck! This isn't some delicate little wife; this is a man-eating flower!
Bared Tooth Man crouched down, his face flushed. No matter how high his tolerance was, he couldn't bring himself to lick the ground like a dog in front of so many people.
But as a wave of mental pressure descended upon him, he met Ling Xue's gaze. The humiliation in his eyes gradually faded as he knelt on the ground.
"Hehe, look, isn't this quite similar? It's just that this dog is a bit ugly." Yun Zhi Yue seemed to embody a wicked woman at that moment; even her sweetest smile sent shivers down people's spines.
A malicious person isn't terrifying; what's truly frightening is someone like Yun Zhi Yue with such a stark contrast.
