Chapter 583 – Impressive Skills, Keep It Up
B0XNVEL.CƟMTwo individuals, each with their own concerns, suddenly fell silent.
“I hope you can sort out your issues,” Ling Mo broke the silence.
Ye Kai nodded, “You too. And…” The fierce look in his eyes vanished momentarily, replaced by a hint of a smile, “Don’t die on me.”
“That’s my line to you,” Ling Mo retorted with a smile, extending his hand and giving Ye Kai’s shoulder a firm pat.
Their friendship began with a fight, and it was through fighting that they came to understand each other better.
However, neither of them noticed that during their conversation, a figure was quietly leaning against the wall outside the door.
As they reached this point, the figure suddenly straightened up and walked away into the shadows…
Ling Mo had a feeling and turned to glance at the crack of the door.
“What’s up?” Ye Kai asked, puzzled.
“It’s nothing,” Ling Mo replied, pulling a wry smile.
Just now, he had faintly sensed a ripple of mental power…
…
Afterward, Ling Mo separately found the other three members of the Miracle Team to say his farewells.
But the situation was much like Ling Mo had anticipated—
Skinny Monkey was more nervous and scared than sad. Without Ling Mo, with the ferocious Ye Kai in charge, it was obvious that his days were going to be tough.
More importantly, he felt that much of his dignity came from relying on Ling Mo. Once Ling Mo left, he feared he might be beaten back to his original form.
“Boss, don’t leave me!” Skinny Monkey cried out, clinging to Ling Mo.
With a helpless expression, Ling Mo didn’t know what to do until Zhang Xincheng pulled Skinny Monkey away.
“Stop it,” Zhang Xincheng said calmly.
“But…” Skinny Monkey looked heartbroken, and his gaze gave Ling Mo the chills.
“Ah…” Zhang Xincheng sighed, then leaned in close to Skinny Monkey and whispered, “Are you dumb? Lucy’s still here…”
Skinny Monkey was stunned for a moment, then it dawned on him.
Right, Lucy was still there!
Reflecting on Ling Mo’s recent actions to stabilize Lucy’s position, could it be he was preparing for his departure?
The boss is so thoughtful!
Moved, Skinny Monkey said, “Boss, have a smooth journey…”
“Damn!”
Ling Mo couldn’t help but kick out, and though Skinny Monkey heard the sound, he couldn’t react in time, and could only watch as the kick landed squarely.
Despite getting kicked, his face still bore a shameless grin, which made Ling Mo burst into laughter.
As for Gu Shuangshuang, the girl was quite excited to see Ling Mo at first, but as soon as she heard that Ling Mo was leaving, she fell silent.
“I’ve pretty much told you everything there is about mental power training, haven’t I? You even wrote it all down, right? If you forget, just take a look at your notes, you’ll be fine,” Ling Mo tried to comfort her, thinking she was afraid.
“It’s not that…” Gu Shuangshuang said softly, her head lowered.
“Ah?” Ling Mo was clearly confused but continued to encourage her. “You may be a bit weak now, but as long as you train properly, there’s room for improvement. Your special ability, mental shock, is very powerful when used correctly. You need to have confidence in yourself.”
“Mm…” Gu Shuangshuang nodded, humming like a mosquito, then fell silent again.
Ling Mo was at a loss for words. Not great at dealing with such situations, he decided to make a quick exit, “Well, I’m off then. If anyone bullies you, just tell your teammates.”
“Tell who?” Gu Shuangshuang suddenly spoke up.
“Uh… whoever, Ye Kai, Zhang Xincheng…” Ling Mo thought, wondering why this girl had so many questions…
But Gu Shuangshuang interrupted him, “What if the person bullying me is someone they can’t handle?”
Without thinking, Ling Mo replied, “You tell Ye Kai; he will find me.”
“And then what?” Gu Shuangshuang’s face flushed, and her eyes seemed to sparkle.
“I’ll come and beat them up…” Ling Mo responded automatically, and only afterward did he realize something was off.
It was too late, though, because Gu Shuangshuang had already cheered and suddenly hugged him.
This hug caught Ling Mo completely off guard. Gu Shuangshuang had always seemed shy to him, always blushing when she came to ask questions about mental power.
Especially when Ye Lian and the others were around, this girl’s face would turn exceptionally red.
Ling Mo had never expected Gu Shuangshuang to have such a bold side.
She hugged Ling Mo tightly for two seconds, then hurriedly let go, “I’m… I’m sorry…”
“It’s okay, this is… just a gesture… haha…” Ling Mo replied, scratching his head.
After an awkward silence, Ling Mo couldn’t help but flee the scene.
As he left, Gu Shuangshuang’s voice echoed from behind, “You promised!”
“…” Ling Mo could only speed up and quickly disappeared from Gu Shuangshuang’s view.
Turning a corner, he unexpectedly ran into someone.
Ling Mo stopped in his tracks, his awkward expression suddenly becoming a bit eerie…
Ever since that day he yelled in front of so many people in the meeting room, Ling Mo hadn’t seen Lucy again.
On one hand, he intentionally avoided her, and on the other, Lucy was deliberately evading him.
Both of them being so in sync on the matter naturally meant they didn’t bump into each other.
Lucy looked at Ling Mo with a complex expression for a while before speaking softly, “You weren’t going to tell me?”
“Uh…”
“I heard everything.” Lucy didn’t give Ling Mo a chance to make excuses.
“I guessed as much.” Ling Mo could only nod, realizing that the person who had eavesdropped outside the door was indeed this violent woman.
However, not having seen her for a few days, the violent woman seemed different than before.
She looked… very human, but with a slightly different aura.
Others might not notice this subtle change, but Ling Mo could not be fooled.
Indeed, zombies… she had become more like a zombie. This was probably why she could hide so well under Ling Mo’s nose. As a zombie, hiding and ambushing are essential survival instincts.
“Looks like you have…” Ling Mo started, a bit awkwardly.
“Yeah, my mutation has basically stopped. This is probably how I’ll look from now on,” Lucy replied, surprisingly at ease.
“It seems you’ve fully accepted it…”
“Thanks to you…” Lucy said, moving her mouth corners slightly.
“…” Ling Mo didn’t know what else to say. Compared to the little awkwardness with Gu Shuangshuang, the situation he was in now felt even more complicated.
Lucy, however, was looking down, her eyes glancing up in thought, making Ling Mo’s scalp tingle with the intensity of her gaze.
“You and Gu Shuangshuang…”
“There’s nothing between us,” Ling Mo quickly interjected. It was the truth; Gu Shuangshuang had been bullied for a long time and suddenly receiving care from someone, especially someone who played a mentor and friend role, could easily lead to developing some affection. However, Ling Mo had no such feelings toward Gu Shuangshuang, so his response was straightforward.
“Why are you explaining to me…” Lucy murmured.
Ling Mo decided it was better to stay silent. Indeed, compared to a zombie girl, human girls were much more complicated…
“I…”
Lucy fell silent again, and Ling Mo was left to wonder what she was really up to.
Soon enough, Lucy gave him his answer.
This female T-Rex suddenly let out a low growl and pounced on him with incredible speed, pinning Ling Mo against the wall.
Her kissing technique had clearly improved since their last encounter. In the instant she pinned Ling Mo, a warmth had already pressed against his lips.
As her soft tongue slid between Ling Mo’s parted lips, he finally managed to free a hand.
When his palm broke free, Ling Mo could clearly feel Lucy’s body stiffen for a moment.
However, he didn’t push her away. Instead, he gently wrapped his arm around Lucy’s waist.
Her powerful body, still shapely and defined, trembled under Ling Mo’s embrace.
Lucy’s initially forceful movement suddenly softened, and she leaned into Ling Mo, her chest rising and falling gently as she kissed him deeply…
“Phew!”
It wasn’t until they were both nearly out of breath that Lucy finally let Ling Mo go, her face flushed.
Those cold eyes of hers were shimmering with a touch of moisture, making her appear quite charming.
“I thought you’d be the one to give in first, but it turns out you’re even more of a zombie than I am,” Lucy said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Ling Mo just smiled slightly, not saying a word.
Although it was a joke, Lucy didn’t realize that she had unintentionally hit the nail on the head.
Ling Mo’s degree of mutation was much greater than hers…
Besides, when it came to kissing until breathless, Ling Mo had his practice…
After the long kiss, when they looked at each other again, there was a subtle change in their eyes.
Ling Mo’s hand still rested on Lucy’s waist, and he couldn’t help but let it slide slowly downwards.
Unlike most girls, every inch of Lucy’s body was taut and filled with a supple strength.
Moreover, perhaps because her blood was akin to that of zombies, Ling Mo could almost sense the flow of her blood when he touched her.
Lucy felt the same way; she could hear Ling Mo’s heartbeat, almost as if it was echoing inside her head.
“Thump! Thump!”
The intense sound of his heartbeat made Lucy’s own blood start to boil…
They drew closer and closer, their breathing growing more rapid…
“Um…”
Just as their lips were about to touch again, Lucy suddenly spoke up in a soft voice.
“What is it?” Ling Mo asked quietly.
“About that thing… you know, when I assaulted you…” Lucy suddenly brought up the subject, “I’ll take responsibility.”
“Huh? How will you take responsibility?” Ling Mo asked in return.
“You’ll find out later.” Lucy playfully winked and then raised her hand to touch Ling Mo’s cheek, “Not bad with your technique, keep it up…”
“Hey!” Ling Mo called out with a laugh.
But Lucy had already turned and walked away, lifting an arm to wave at Ling Mo.
