Chapter 772: Cannot exchange
Bai Feng knew what Bai Meiyue said was indeed correct. However, Chu Xia had given her life to make him promise. He just could not break the promise that he had made to her at the end of her life, could he?
This was his responsibility as a man and a debt that he had to repay. Unless he died, there was no way he could break the promise that he had made.
Luo Jingguo stopped speaking. There was nothing that he could say at the moment. Bai Meiyue hated Bai Xue and she was not wrong in saying that the reason they were trapped in this situation was because of Bai Xue. If this woman had not run off from the safe zone where they were staying and reached out to Yu Miaomiao, then they wouldn’t be trapped in this chaotic situation where the mutated bugs and corpses were going crazy. He sighed and shook his head at Bai Feng; there was no way he could continue this debate.
Bai Meiyue had her reason to not help them and he had to admit that she was right.
No one paid any attention to Bai Xue, who was sitting in the corner like a wilted flower. Though the woman was not saying anything, her eyes were filled with nothing but hatred. She truly hated Bai Meiyue at that moment and she hated Bai Feng for not standing up for her. Why did the man not say that he was protecting her because she was his sister and there was no other reason other than that?
That he was not doing it for her mother.
And Bai Meiyue. Why was this woman acting as if she had ripped her world apart with her hands? True, she did some things that might have harmed Bai Meiyue but she didn’t do anything to harm her. She didn’t kill her. Bai Meiyue was perfectly fine. There was nothing wrong with her. So, why? Why did she have to cause so much trouble? Why did she have to create chaos for no reason? Why was she adamant on killing her? Did she do anything to her that could justify killing her?
Since that was the case, then Bai Meiyue couldn’t blame her.
Just once, as long as she was awake, she would never—never ever let Bai Meiyue go. She would kill this woman as well as that bastard child of hers, along with Bai Feng, who didn’t stand up for her.
Of course, an enemy knew her enemy too well. Just one gaze alone from Bai Meiyue was enough to know what Bai Xue was thinking at the moment. She curled her lips and turned her head away. While she respected Bai Feng for respecting the promise that he had made to Chu Xia out of his righteousness, she also thought that the man was too foolish. This was why she was unwilling to cooperate with Bai Feng. The two of them could never get along.
She turned her attention to Fox and started building the ice bridge. She was not willing to help Bai Feng but that didn’t mean that she was unwilling to help even Fox.
When Fox saw that Bai Meiyue was building an ice bridge for him, he was surprised. It seemed like despite all the indifferent words that she said to him, she cared for him. Look at this; even though she said all those harsh words to him, she was still helping him out.
He was not the only one who was touched. The people who followed Lei Qian were just as touched. They saw how hard Bai Meiyue worked these past few days to help Lei Qian. She would only rest a little bit and then work again. Even when she was nine months pregnant, she did everything that she could have done for Lei Qian, which proved that even though Bai Meiyue had said nothing but harsh words to Lei Qian, even when she had shown nothing but indifference to him, she still cared for him somewhere deep within her heart.
With Bai Meiyue awakening to another level, it didn’t take her long to build an ice bridge. When Fox saw the bridge getting connected to his building, he was so excited that he rushed to the building where Bai Meiyue was staying with her team. How could he not be excited? After all, he had noticed the meat and vegetables that her team was cooking. Unlike them, who could only rely on taking little bites from the pork knuckles, this team was the one who was enjoying their time trapped in this situation.
Sob. sob. At least Bai Meiyue had some conscience, unlike that good friend of his. He sent him here to protect Bai Meiyue but he didn’t even care whether he would live or die. That brat was getting more and more heartless. If not for the fact that the two of them were far apart, he would have pierced that brat’s heart out of his chest and see whether it was truly as stone cold as he thought.
When Fox reached the tenth floor, he saw that Meng Suisui was cooking a pot of braised pork and gulped. Truly, he wanted to ask what kind of life Bai Meiyue was living; she truly was living a rather good life.
While their team was having a rather good time, Bai Feng and his team were having a rather harsh time. They didn’t have any dry rations, and they were relying on Bai Meiyue for water.
"Xiang Mei, go and exchange some more oranges with Bai Meiyue," said one of the ability users. He licked his dry lips and said to Xiang Mei, "I am thirsty."
They have been working all day long and the weather was way too hot for them to ignore the heat in their bodies. If this went on, then they would end up fainting.
Xiang Mei was also helpless. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to exchange; it was just that she couldn’t exchange!
