The Abused Novel Heroine Became a Clingy Sweetheart [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 63.2
The “You Yan” on the ground had a face identical to You Ting’s.
But if one looked closely, they could still spot a few subtle differences.
You Yan’s face was more like a painting skillfully drawn on paper by a master artist.
Beautiful, yes, but not lively.
You Yan twisted her head away in disgust, “What are you so proud of? I was only one step away from killing you!”
If it weren’t for that golden eye opening unexpectedly outside the plan, she would have already claimed the white Source Stone for herself.
And the person standing at the pinnacle of this world would have been her.
“But you ultimately failed to kill me.”
You Ting’s palm gathered a cold light, and she said lightly, “Don’t you understand yet? The person that pair of eyes chose is me.”
“So, whether it’s you or other counterfeits, it’s impossible for you to kill me.”
You Yan seemed to suddenly realize something, her eyes widening sharply: “No, how could it be!”
Before her final syllable fell, the cold light at You Ting’s fingertip had silently descended, mercilessly piercing the red crystal in her chest.
At the same moment, You Yan’s body turned into dust and vanished with the wind.
That Source Stone instantly shattered, its radiance fading.
A few wisps of smoke emerged from it, slowly drifting towards You Ting’s Source Stone, becoming one of the nutrients to foster its growth.
After dealing with You Yan, You Ting finally called the other zombies away.
She, then, carried Ji Zhou on her back and found a quiet place to treat her injuries.
Ji Zhou had her eyes closed, her small face as pale as paper, and her breath so faint that it seemed it would completely extinguish in the next moment.
You Ting’s brows furrowed tightly. She held Ji Zhou’s hand, calmed her mind, and channeled the energy of the Source Stone into Ji Zhou’s body.
This method was actually somewhat risky because the power she was using did not belong to humans, and Ji Zhou’s constitution was special. You Ting wasn’t sure if it would work on Ji Zhou.
Fortunately, after a while, You Ting gradually felt the small hand she held regain some warmth.
She opened her eyes and saw that although Ji Zhou had not yet woken up, her complexion looked a bit better.
Only then could the heavy stone in her heart slightly loosen.
While sending energy to Ji Zhou, You Ting said in a complex tone, “You should have listened and just run; why did you insist on taking the blow for me?”
“Truly… overestimating yourself. Now look, you’re so weak; who knows when you’ll wake up.”
Although she spoke words of blame, the look in her eyes toward the little girl was extremely gentle.
Feeling that Ji Zhou’s internal injuries were almost healed, You Ting stopped the flow of Source Stone energy.
Injecting too much at once would also be detrimental to Ji Zhou’s body.
She simply waited for Ji Zhou to wake up, while simultaneously gathering water elements in the air, transforming them into clean streams to wash herself and the dusty Ji Zhou clean.
The cleaned little girl finally revealed her original sweet and adorable face.
Ji Zhou’s features were delicate, her face very small, making her eyes look bigger, and her small lips had regained a bit of color, like a freshly ripened cherry.
She lay quietly, her hands resting on her chest, looking even more docile in this posture.
You Ting propped her head and watched, then suddenly smiled: “No wonder Shen Jiaxing didn’t clean you up and just let you remain so dirty.”
He was probably afraid that someone would see her, develop ill intentions, and snatch her away.
The male lead’s expression must have been quite something when he saw her leaving with Ji Zhou.
She wondered what he was thinking now.
Was he thinking about how to proceed to the Survivor Base, or was he heartbroken over losing a fighter and a sustainably developing “Source Stone”?
Most likely, it was both.
In any case, a person like Shen Jiaxing weighed the pros and cons meticulously.
Given the immense disparity in strength, he wouldn’t consider coming to rescue her or Ji Zhou.
But this was good too, You Ting thought; she had long wanted to find an opportunity to take Ji Zhou away from Shen Jiaxing’s team.
You Yan’s appearance just now had conveniently created this opportunity for her.
This time, the golden eye in the sky did not stay open for long; the zombies’ carnival had ended before it had fully begun.
You Ting closed her eyes to rest, her mind constantly sorting out her thoughts.
It was only after encountering You Yan that she gathered the hidden information—the zombies did not all perfectly obey her command.
Just like in the human world, no one wanted to be eternally stepped on by others.
The same was true for zombies who had developed their own intelligence.
The stronger the zombie, the more power it craved.
You Yan was not one individual but a group of them.
They were the failed creations of that pair of eyes—the so-called Deity.
You Ting called them counterfeits because this group of “You Yans” was created according to her standard.
However, the Deity did not succeed in creating a second perfect work.
Perhaps it was for balance, or for some other reason.
Whenever the golden eye closed, You Ting’s ability would weaken more severely than other zombies.
This was why she couldn’t immediately defeat You Yan at first.
But ultimately, she was the only one chosen, so the golden eye would not stand by and watch its most perfect creation disappear.
You Ting had made the right gamble.
It had briefly opened its eye for You Ting.
However, everything given comes with a price.
You Ting still didn’t know what that golden eye in the sky ultimately wanted from her.
In the original plot, there were few records of the mysterious Zombie King X.
When it truly appeared, the story was nearing its end.
The female lead, Ji Zhou, chose to sacrifice herself, the male lead, Shen Jiaxing, was greatly stimulated, his combat power surged several times, and he eventually defeated the Zombie King.
As Ji Zhou’s body turned into wisps of clean air, the golden eye in the sky disappeared without a trace.
The ruined city, constantly shrouded in yellow sand, revealed its original appearance.
Vibrant flowers grew on the barren, desolate land.
Shen Jiaxing became the hero who defeated the evil dragon, and his name was forever immortalized and praised by humanity.
However… You Ting glanced at Ji Zhou beside her.
Now that Ji Zhou was not gone, this ending would likely be rewritten.
She did not believe that Shen Jiaxing alone could defeat her.
As You Ting was thinking, she suddenly heard a familiar commotion outside: “Sis! Bean Sprout! Sis! Bean Sprout!”
Why did that voice sound so familiar?
You Ting thought for a moment—could it be Ji Man?
Outside, Ji Man only dared to openly search for traces of You Ting and Ji Zhou during the window when the golden eye had closed its eyelids.
Looking at the ground with the remaining signs of fierce battle, a sad guess formed in his mind, and he couldn’t help but burst into tears: “Waaah, Sis, did you and Bean Sprout die?”
The world was very quiet; only Ji Man’s increasingly loud mutterings could be heard.
Ji Zhou, who had been lying down, twitched her fingers and slowly opened her eyes.
In her blurry vision, she could vaguely make out a not-unfamiliar figure.
She half-closed her eyes and asked in a faint voice, “Sister Ting?”
You Ting immediately looked down, her expression relaxing: “You’re awake.”
Ji Zhou nodded.
You Ting asked, “Do you feel pain anywhere?”
Ji Zhou slowly shook her head again.
After a while, she reacted, asking with surprise, “Sister Ting, you can talk?”
You Ting nodded.
Thanks to absorbing You Yan’s red Source Stone, You Ting’s power had increased significantly.
The little bug that made her enunciation strange was also fixed, allowing her to speak like a normal person.
The little girl did not press for the reason but showed a sincere smile: “That’s wonderful!”
Ji Zhou’s eyes sparkled as she said, “Sister Ting’s voice is very pleasant; it suits speaking very well.”
You Ting reached out and stroked her head, hooking her lips slightly: “Your smile is also very beautiful; it suits smiling very well.”
A warm touch came from the top of her head. Ji Zhou paused, then nodded slightly.
You Ting looked at her earnestly: “Next time, you are not allowed to do such a dangerous thing again.”
Ji Zhou paused before realizing she was referring to her act of taking the blow for You Ting earlier.
Although it was very painful at the time, so painful that she felt she was about to die.
But she didn’t regret it.
Ji Zhou said, “But I was able to protect Sister Ting, and I’m very happy.”
She repeated word by word: “Extremely happy.”
“But if you were to die in front of me because of me,” You Ting lowered her long lashes, “I would be very sad.”
She copied Ji Zhou’s emphasis: “Extremely sad.”
For some reason, Ji Zhou’s heart skipped a beat.
She lowered her gaze, avoiding You Ting’s eyes.
Just then, Ji Zhou finally noticed the commotion outside.
Ji Zhou wondered, “It sounds like… someone is talking?”
You Ting said, “Ignore it.”
But that voice continued to persistently ring out. Who knows how Ji Man could have so much to say.
“How pitiful. Shen Jiaxing and the others completely ignored you! Now, only I came looking for you.”
He cried, snot and tears running down his face, “Although you’re fierce and quiet and even cut my hand with a small knife, I know you love me, your half-brother, very much, woo woo woo…”
You Ting, unable to bear it any longer, threw a bolt of lightning that struck the unprepared Ji Man.
It directly electrocuted him until he was pitch black.
“I love you, you @¥*#¥&…” The rest was censored due to being too intense.
Ji Man fell to the ground, his hair standing on end, dazed from the shock.
But upon hearing the familiar voice, he immediately jumped up from the ground, fully revitalized: “Sis!”
Ji Man was overjoyed: “I knew you weren’t dead!”
You Ting slowly walked out from the shadows with Ji Zhou. She nodded: “Not dead. Stop wailing like at a funeral.”
Ji Man looked as if he had discovered a new continent: “Sis, Sis, you, you spoke! You can actually talk!”
The feeling of speaking out loud was completely different from the divine sense directly entering his brain.
You Ting rolled her eyes at him and asked, “Why are you here?”
