I walked out of the room. Just as I was finishing wolfing down the crystals from the red envelope, Feng had handed me a few more. Lying in bed could speed up my recovery even more, but my decision to stay for one more day wasn’t so that I could sleep.

Glancing toward the elevator, I happened to meet Ben’s dead-fish eyes. His arms were crossed over his chest as he leaned against the wall, and he had a face that said “I’m not surprised to see you again.”

Being caught in the act, I scrambled for an explanation. “I got tired of lying in bed, so I’m going out for a walk, not to run off!”

Ben’s dead-fish eyes became even more lifeless. Entirely unconvinced, he said, “You were only in bed for two hours. The doc said that you’re seriously injured and need to rest for at least five to six days.”

I explained, “I’m fine after eating the crystals. This isn’t like before the apocalypse!”

“Our doc has looked after a whole bunch of people these past six months. He factored in the effects of the crystals.”

Ugh. I bit the bullet and continued, “The crystals in the red envelopes were humongous. After eating them and sleeping for two hours, I feel much better.”

Facing the brother-in-law whose leg I had personally broken, I was so nervous that my hands were fidgeting. Fortunately, Jin Zhan only shot me a glance, seemingly not interested at all, and continued eating. On the other hand, the two women at the side were filled with enthusiasm and kept on staring at me.

“Is this Xiao Yu?” One of the women, who seemed older in age, said warmly. “Come, have a seat. There’s no need to be shy, we’re all family after all.”

And just like that we became family! I inwardly chuckled. The Thunder God and Ice Emperor are one family? The whole human race is going to celebrate!

Jin Feng pulled me down to sit, and right away ordered someone to serve me a bowl of rice. I held the bowl of rice with shaking hands. I had just broken the Thunder God’s leg, and now with all these black-clothed men in the dining hall staring at me, all of my hairs were standing on end. I feel like I’m gonna get hacked apart with knives from every direction at any moment!

Jin Feng gestured at the woman seated at the round-table and introduced her. “This is my lil’ mom. You can just call her ‘Lil’ Mom.’”

Lil’ Mom? Her form of address sounds a bit odd. I looked at the person called “Lil’ Mom.” She was a woman who didn’t look like a mother at all. She was wearing a light green blouse and white long skirt. She had a slim figure and a refined and beautiful appearance, looking very much like a girl from a wealthy family. I couldn’t exactly tell how old she was, but she couldn’t possibly be Jin Feng’s mom. Considering her “Lil’ Mom” nickname, she was obviously the stepmother!

Jin Feng smiled. “Lil’ Mom is very young, but you still gotta call her ‘Lil’ Mom.’”

Dominion’s End V5C5: Danger Lurks Around Every Corner of Lan City

Chapter 5: Danger Lurks Around Every Corner of Lan City—translated by Miaka_Mei (proofread by Faren & Arcedemius; C/E edited by lucathia)

I was squatting in a triangular shadow beneath the escalator. My whole body was covered with smelly blood. This was the result from just now when I’d dashed into a large hall that was covered with fresh blood and rotting flesh. The hellish place was actually heaven to me as I had immediately rolled around on the floor.

And just like that, the Yggdrasil Earthworm slithered back and forth on the streets for a while before reluctantly leaving.

Having been relentlessly pursued, I had attempted to strike back from time to time, but there were just too many factors—the heads were dreadfully fast, and they numbered too many. They were pretty much unavoidable. If the heads hadn’t been slowed down by its enormous body, I would have already been swallowed into its stomach.

However, that Yggdrasil Earthworm was still very fast despite being slowed down. It moved much like a snake would, though I really had no idea what it had transmuted from. I had never heard stories of this kind of thing in my past life either.

Dominion’s End V5C4: The Clash of Ice and Lightning

Original novel in Chinese by: 禦我 (Yu Wo)

Chapter 4: The Clash of Ice and Lightning—translated by Miaka_Mei (proofread by Arcedemius; C/E edited by Elkin & lucathia)

“Shuyu, where you goin’?”

Cain faintly called out from behind me, but I simply couldn’t pay attention to anyone else. I was rushing at full speed, my mind filled with only thoughts of Shujun getting in all kinds of crises. She might be wounded, bleeding, or even…

I sprinted, ignoring the small voice at the back of my mind warning me that I should remain because there were hardly any JDT members left at the base, and that Dàgē was with Shujun—but then, why was she throwing so many lightning bolts?

Although I’d always said that Shujun’s ability was frighteningly powerful, her strength was in her fine manipulation of her power. If I had to honestly gauge her power, she wasn’t weak but she wasn’t that much stronger than the other JDT members either, particularly after their pace of improvement skyrocketed after they truly understood the strength and importance of special powers.

Shujun would have to go all-out to produce such a large cluster of lightning. She wouldn’t have done such a thing if she hadn’t truly been in danger, because I had warned her over and over again to exert the barest minimum amount of energy to defeat the enemy. You’ll never know what kind of aberrant you’ll meet around the corner of the next street. One must never exhaust one’s energy unless absolutely necessary.

Wiping away sweat from my forehead, I discovered the shortcoming of having both a guy and a girl residing in my head. No matter if I looked at guys or girls, I was either not thinking of them as the same sex as me, such as when I was perving on Dàgē and Jin Feng, or I wasn’t considering them as the opposite sex, with a “take off your clothes” slipping out to a little girl just like that.

I needed to pay more attention in the future. I’m a man now! With the corresponding appendage! I can’t just go into the girls’ bathroom! Important things have to be stressed three times!

Afterwards, I found two thick, long combat coats and knocked on the bathroom door. I said, “There are two coats hanging on the door. Once you’re done bathing, put them on for now and stay put in the courtyard house. Don’t run off. I’ll head out and find you some clothes.”

A high pitched “okay” came through the door from the girl. I could finally relax and flee. On my way out, I told Wen Jianuo that I was going to the mansion. He asked if I could help figure out where Ah Qing had gone.
