Zhu Yuan figured out the purpose of the metal wall immediately. He also understood how little Bian Bian was so lucky to not meet a single zombie when she went out yesterday to look for food.

There are level three, even four zombies here, the entire area is its territory. The other zombies would only come if they were full. The few zombies that he and Du Mingyu encountered on the way were likely only passing by. They drove right around the time the zombies were escaping this place. Both sides met on a narrow path and Du Mingyu used these zombies to get away with the level three crystal.

Zhu Yuan’s heart rate gradually subsided. He crouched down to be on the same level as Bian Bian and looked at her warmly and said, “Bian Bian, your grandpa loves you a lot.”

Thinking about Bian Bian’s grandfather’s strength, and yet, he was still infected. He was afraid of hurting Bian Bian when he became a zombie, but without him, Bian Bian will have a hard time living by herself. So, he sealed himself on the third floor, preventing himself from hurting Bian Bian, but still be able to cast an aura. When the suppressing aura of a high-level zombie is released, there wouldn’t be zombies approaching unless an even higher level zombie wants to occupy the area, so it would be very safe for Bian Bian to look for food.

“The old man planned well for the future, covering everything for his granddaughter.”

Zhu Yuan was in awe.

What he said brought back the tears that Bian Bian was wiping. She hugged the little bear tightly without saying a word.

Zhu Yuan suddenly regretted his words, and so he quickly added, “Even though he can’t live with you, he will always stay by your side to protect you.”

“I know that.” Little Bian Bian answered; she then looked up with a teary face and said, “We’re going to the supermarket to get some delicious food. And when the meal is cooked, send it to my grandfather.

Zhu Yuan answered, “Okay.”

Although delivering things to a high-level zombie is very dangerous, Zhu Yuan did not want to ruin the little girl’s happiness, so he needs to figure out a way to do it.

All of a sudden a question struck him. Zombies need to eat, even those of high levels are the same. If Bian Bian’s grandfather has been locked in the building since the beginning, then, he hasn’t eaten anything since he turned? Then, he should be… very weak right now.

Looking at Bian Bian’s delicate and beautiful face, Zhu Yuan didn’t want to tell her such cruel things. Although he knew that the high-leveled zombie was Bian Bian’s grandfather, and was blocked by a metal wall. Zhu Yuan unconsciously moved lightly to avoid making noises downstairs.

Bian Bian thought it was weird, and caringly asked, “Uncle Zhu Yuan, does your leg hurt?”

Zhu Yuan: “……”

He rubbed his nose awkwardly, should he tell little Bian Bian that he is afraid of her father hearing any sounds?

Not waiting for him to speak, Bian Bian seemed to understand something and used her small hand to cover her mouth. Her long eyelashes fluttered as if to say, “I understand. I’ll also be quieter.”

Zhu Yuan thought that if he was Bian Bian’s grandfather and knew he was infected, he would certainly find ways to prepare everything for her. This type of angelic little person, how can anyone bear for her to be troubled.

Xiu Jin had to admit that with another grown-up next to his little girl, he felt uncomfortable, but also very relieved. After all, Bian Bian is still too young and needs to be cared for by an adult.

As long as Zhu Yuan is an upright person, it’ll be good for Bian Bian. Thus, before he can spend a fortune buying things for his daughter, Zhu Yuan can make his daughter’s quality of life a little better.

The butler reported that the Feather King had arrived. Thinking that the flowery peacock was probably here to discuss the charity, Xiu Jin had to disconnect from the game to do his business since he already agreed to it.

Huan Tianjue took off his gorgeous feather king outfit, wearing a rather slim, noble, and elegant suit. His looking for Xiu Jin was natural for only one reason: money.

During the negotiations, Xiu Jin said he would just be providing the money and dealing with nothing else… He just didn’t want to see Huan Tianjue much because of the charity event. Xiu Jin was unhappy seeing the guy, and if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be angry.

Huan Tianjue gladly agreed and said, “After all, it was I who proposed this matter, and I am troubling Your Highness in funding it. How could I allow you to work? But isn’t Your Highness afraid that I might use this large sum of money for other purposes?”

Xiu Jin let out a “Heh.” Although he doesn’t like Huan Tianjue, he still acknowledged the sincerity of Huan Tianjue’s character, “If you have nothing else…”.

He pointed his finger to the door, wanting to see the guest out.

Huan Tianjue smiled and politely left.

After the person left, the smart butler murmured, “Your Highness, your attitude toward the Feather King was a little impolite. It is beneath your royal dignity.”

Although the Feather clan is one of the four great noble clans of the empire, and Huan Tianjin is the King of the Feather Clan, in terms of status, he is not inferior to Xiu Jin.

“I’m too lazy to pretend with him, his gentleman act in front of me is also pretend, who knows if he’s cursing me in his heart.” Xiu Jin looked at his butler with narrowed eyes, “Lin Yisan you are my butler, who taught you to bend your elbows the wrong way1.”

The smart butler’s serial number was 013, so Xiu Jin simply named him Lin Yisan2.

Lin Yisan was quiet for a few seconds, then smartly changed the subject and said, “His Third Highness is back and has already learned that you took away his holographic projector.”

“When?” Xiu Jin asked.

“Just now.” Lin Yisan answered.

Xiu Jin’s initial reaction was to hide the holographic projector, not to let his big brother find it. He immediately did this and also ordered Lin Yisan, ”Block the door, you’re not allowed to let him in”

Lin Yisan obediently blocked the door. After some time, Xiu Yan came over, and with him was his intelligent housekeeper, a female robot.

Xiu Yan and Xiu Jin have the same parents. Both brothers resemble each other, but compared to Xiu Jin’s ageless babyface, Xiu Yan has deeper contours and shows a cold temperament. Usually, he can use his eyes to kill others.

He looked at Lin Yisan with a smile and said, “Open the door.”

Lin Yisan thought he must resist feebly, so he expressionlessly said “Your Third Highness, His Highness is not home. If you need anything, I will let you know when he returns.”

Xiu Yan then said, “Rita, what do you think?”

The female robot called Rita and Lin Yisan both looked at each other miserably.

Two seconds later, Lin Yisan smiled and quickly opened the door saying “Your Third Highness, please enter. His Highness is inside and is currently hiding your holographic projector.”

Xiu Yan strode in and went directly to the second floor.

Rita held Lin Yisan’s hands and said, “Let’s get out and hide for a while.”

Lin Yisan agreed, “Let’s go.”

The two robots held hands and headed out, but the place they went to was still His Third Highness’s house.

“I heard you’re cooperating with Tianjue for a charity.”

Xiu Jin felt unsafe and was a little annoyed after hiding for such a long time. Don’t look at how carefree he made Lin Yisan go and get the holographic projector, because he knows that the device is the Third Highness’s favorite. Moreover, this is something that can only be obtained through luck, otherwise, Xiu Jin would have already bought one.

So when he let Lin Yisan take the device, he was already prepared to negotiate with Xiu Yan. But knowing Xiu Yan’s character, the probability of his success isn’t high. He decided to act first, report later. Anyway, growing up, Xiu Yan also took a lot of his stuff. So it’s no big deal for him to take something once.

He didn’t think Lin Yisan would let Xiu Yan in so quickly. Xiu Jin fiercely scolded Lin Yisan in his head, shoving the holographic projector under the quilt.

“Huan Tianjue mentioned it to Father. Nevertheless, helping refugees is a good thing, so I agreed.” After speaking, he faced Xiu Yan with an innocent expression and asked, “Third brother, when did you come back?”

Unlike Xiu Jin, who was in business, the third prince of the empire, Xiu Yan, joined the army. He is a natural-born general, and after ten years in the military, he became the youngest general in the empire. If Xiu Jin was a noble prince that grew up in a honey pot, then Xiu Yan was a soldier with real weapons and real bullets and not a prince. So every once in a while, Xiu Jin was afraid of his third brother.

But only a tiny bit!

Xiu Yan’s gaze swept around, then he picked up Xiu Jin as easy as a chicken and pulled off the quilt.

Xiu Jin became anxious and hastily said, “Brother, my dear brother! You’re not normally home, and this equipment is never used, so isn’t it better for me to use it when you’re not home.”

Xiu Yan frowned, “You can borrow other things, but not this one.”

“Why?” Xiu Jin asked. He thought that if he didn’t have this, how would he play happily with his beloved daughter.

“It belongs to someone else and I need to give it back.” Xiu Yan answered.

“???” Xiu Jin found that he was serious and said, “You didn’t say it was somebody else’s before I used it, now that I’m borrowing it to use it, you’re saying it’s somebody else’s and you need to give it back.

Xiu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiu Jin.

Xiu Jin: “……”

He took two steps backward.

This isn’t fear, but a strategic retreat!

This holographic projector set was originally given to Xiu Yan by a friend to maintain and take care of, so he treated it seriously. In the eyes of others, it has become his favorite thing. And its function is peculiar, but Xiu Yan doesn’t know much about it. When his friend comes back, he should return it to them. Who would’ve thought that it’d go missing when he searched for it at home. Anybody with a brain could easily tell who took it.

Xiu Yan observed Xiu Jin’s expression and said, “If you want to project something, then buy another projector.”

“It’s not the same,” said Xiu Jin. Because only this device enables him to interact with the game, the others don’t.

Xiu Jin still felt like Xiu Yan didn’t want to lend it, so he used that excuse. He then changed his tactics and said, “If you won’t let me borrow it, then I’ll buy it. Tell me how much do you want?’’

Xiu Yan turned around and left.

“……”

Did he really leave just like that?

Xiu Jin was so angry that he was going to ascend the heavens. He hurriedly ran after and asked, “Are you really not lending it to me?”

Xiu Yan said calmly, “I’ve already said that it’s somebody else’s and it must be returned.”

This time it was clear that Xiu Yan wasn’t lying. Xiu Jin was speechless, his tone softened and he asked, “Who is the owner? I’ll go and talk to him.”

You have to spend a lot of money to purchase anything!

Xiu Yan smiled at him, a smile that gave him goosebumps, and said, “You know this person, it’s Nong Jiusi.”

Nong Jiusi, the Dragon clan’s— sole nine-clawed azure dragon.

Xiu Jin: “……”

How can a human prince give up his status and negotiate with a dragon?

“Baby, Daddy can only interact with you through the light brain now,” Xiu Jin thought blankly.
