Villainous Zombie King (15)
Zhao Miaomiao woke up very early the next morning. Somehow, the moment she opened her eyes, tears suddenly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
She felt as if she had forgotten something very important. Her heart felt heavy, as if something was weighing on it, but when she tried to think carefully, she couldn’t remember anything.
Suddenly feeling a bit cold, Zhao Miaomiao lowered her head and pulled up the blanket to cover herself. Unintentionally, she saw Ye Shuiyu’s face in the morning light.
Ye Shuiyu was not sleeping peacefully. Her brows were tightly furrowed, as if experiencing an extremely cruel dream.
Zhao Miaomiao stared at Ye Shuiyu’s sleeping face for a moment, and then suddenly broke out in a cold sweat—
What was wrong with her?
Little Zhao Miaomiao scratched her head in confusion, glanced at Ye Shuiyu, and belatedly recalled the memories from the previous day—she was no longer afraid of Ye Shuiyu now, because she had formed an alliance with Ye Shuiyu, agreeing to help her pursue Song Xuyi.
Zhao Miaomiao didn’t know why, but she felt that this desire to help Ye Shuiyu win over Song Xuyi and live a beautiful life was unprecedentedly strong, even overshadowing all other wishes.
At this time, Song Xuyi’s mood in the next room was also unsettled.
The system, after much consideration, felt that it was too dangerous for Song Xuyi to stay by the villain’s side. It told Song Xuyi everything and tried its best to persuade her to escape from the villain’s side.
Song Xuyi’s feelings were extremely complex. She carefully reviewed the original body’s memories and recalled that when the original body was fifteen years old, she was indeed transferred to a school in Jing by her parents, and she had indeed lured her desk mate, a girl as thin as a skeleton, to do experiments.
After all, this girl was isolated by all her classmates, often didn’t speak, and frequently had some inexplicable ulcers on her body. She looked like a child who wouldn’t tell on others.
In the eyes of the original body, such a child was the best candidate for experiments.
Thinking carefully, the original body had done quite a few things that bordered on illegal. This was just one case among many borderline things the original body had done. Song Xuyi didn’t take it to heart when she first came to this world.
Moreover, at that time, that desk mate wasn’t called Ye Shuiyu, but Yu Shui.
But Song Xuyi understood Ye Shuiyu: Yu Song had done so many terrible things to her, Ye Shuiyu definitely didn’t want to keep Yu Song’s surname, so she took her mother’s surname Ye, and then reversed her original name.
Under the system’s narration, Song Xuyi also pieced everything together: The people with special abilities like Wang Xi were probably Yu Song’s earliest followers. Yu Song helped them awaken their abilities, then gave the order to dispose of Ye Shuiyu’s ‘corpse’ far away. Of course, Yu Song and his people bringing Ye Shuiyu’s body so far away probably had other reasons, but Song Xuyi couldn’t know for the time being…
Song Xuyi only knew that the discarded Ye Shuiyu woke up, lost her memory, and was then found by villagers. By coincidence, she entered Jing with Ye Shuiyu.
The system slightly embellished the story, telling everything Ye Shuiyu had narrated the previous night, concealing the fact that it had erased Zhao Miaomiao’s memory of the sudden character collapse. The system later tried to call the main god, but once again lost contact, as if that voice was just a feedback of the main god’s subconscious left behind.
But now that the subconscious had awakened, it was much better than before when the system tried every method but couldn’t contact the main god.

The system actually had many more methods to try to contact the main god, but when it came down to it, the system hesitated: Xuyi had broken the ‘no falling in love’ rule in the previous few worlds, and the system was afraid that if the main god noticed itself, it would punish Song Xuyi. After some thought, the system still decided to let things take their natural course.
Since Song Xuyi didn’t remember the memories of falling in love, the system naturally couldn’t tell Song Xuyi about this, especially when there were more pressing matters at hand.
“Xuyi, I think you need to find a way to escape from Ye Shuiyu’s side as much as possible,” the system sighed, its voice sounding extremely worried. “Ye Shuiyu is now very…” The system paused, remembering that Song Xuyi didn’t know about Ye Shuiyu’s feelings for her, and quickly changed the word ‘infatuated’ that was on the tip of its tongue to “dependent” on you, then continued, “But in a few days, when she recalls her memories from when she was eighteen, she will definitely hate you—”
Song Xuyi bit her lip tightly.
Constantly reviewing the memories of the original body, Song Xuyi had never imagined that the skinny, injured girl with a lifeless gaze would be the now radiant Ye Shuiyu. Even though she knew this was already in the past, once she thought about it, Song Xuyi still felt somewhat heartbroken…
A feeling arose in Song Xuyi’s heart: it was as if she was watching a flower gradually wither.
The four-year-old Ye Shuiyu was such a clingy, adorable, and pure angel, but the evil people in the world had forcibly turned her into this state.
The sunlight in this world seems to shine on every place, but there are always dark corners where sunlight can’t reach. After her mother passed away, Ye Shuiyu lived in darkness, a life without a single ray of light in the gloom.
Song Xuyi could understand Ye Shuiyu’s hatred for the world: in her world, the kindness she received was pitifully little. When she had the ability, she naturally wanted to destroy this world that had never treated her kindly.
But the catastrophe Ye Shuiyu stirred up was too great.
Song Xuyi could understand her determination to take revenge on everyone who had hurt her, including Yu Song, including herself who had replaced the original body… But there was still a lot of light in this world, such as the original male and female protagonists Zhao Ningning and Li Sibai, who worked diligently to protect the people with the most sincere ideals. These strong and lovely people shouldn’t be affected by Ye Shuiyu’s revenge…
Now there were only two days of driving left to Beijing, and including today, it would take four more days for Ye Shuiyu to recall her memories about herself…
Song Xuyi’s gaze gradually became determined—
Song Xuyi didn’t want to escape. Even though it was the evil done by the original body, Song Xuyi had now inherited this body, so she naturally should bear the resentment of the victims towards the original body.
But before facing the anger of Ye Shuiyu remembering everything, Song Xuyi had a bold plan—she wanted to kill Yu Song!
She had inherited the original body’s knowledge of virus research, which would probably be in line with Yu Song’s interests.
What if she found an opportunity to defect to Yu Song, join his organization, and find a chance to kill Yu Song?
…
At that time, even if Ye Shuiyu was angry, her anger would only be directed at herself, this bad person, and not be transferred to the innocent base and civilians.
Thinking this way, Song Xuyi stood up and quickly went into the bathroom to freshen up: time was tight now, they needed to drive to Jing as soon as possible.

And in the next room, Ye Shuiyu also opened her eyes to Zhao Miaomiao’s shaking.
Even though Zhao Miaomiao didn’t use much force, Ye Shuiyu instinctively shrank back in rejection, her face showing an extremely painful expression…
“Aunt Shuiyu, what’s wrong?” In response to Zhao Miaomiao’s confused call, Ye Shuiyu came to her senses, her scattered gaze gradually becoming clear.
This wasn’t the cold basement now, she wasn’t staying by Yu Song’s side being used as a test subject, she had Xuyi by her side…
Thinking of Song Xuyi, Ye Shuiyu’s cold and rigid heart finally resumed beating.
“It’s nothing.” Ye Shuiyu took a deep breath and casually replied to Zhao Miaomiao. At this moment, Song Xuyi’s knock came from the door: “You two hurry up, we’ll set off in twenty minutes…”
Hearing Song Xuyi’s voice, Ye Shuiyu finally calmed down, but Zhao Miaomiao let out an “Oh no, there’s no time,” and quickly ran into the bathroom, took out a comb, and sat down with the mirror from the bedside table: “Hurry up, Aunt Shuiyu, help me comb my hair…”
After these few days of getting along, Ye Shuiyu already knew that Zhao Miaomiao was a little girl who liked to primp herself. When living with Song Xuyi before, she often asked Song Xuyi to help her comb her hair and such. Ye Shuiyu was naturally clever, and learning to braid hair was a piece of cake for her.
However, for some reason, when Ye Shuiyu picked up the comb, she inexplicably thought of the drug that would make her extremely ugly in her dream, and couldn’t help but look at the mirror in Zhao Miaomiao’s hand.
The woman in the mirror was beautiful beyond words, but for some unknown reason, Ye Shuiyu always felt that she seemed to have become a bit uglier, and her skin also seemed to have worsened a bit…
And at this time, the reason Xuyi would bring her along was largely because of her beautiful face.
Anything could go wrong, but her face definitely couldn’t!
“Zhao Miaomiao, how do I look today?” Ye Shuiyu looked at the mirror, her brows furrowing more and more tightly, and she couldn’t help but ask.
“Just the same!” The vain little girl’s mirror was snatched away by Ye Shuiyu. Zhao Miaomiao dared to be angry but not to speak out. She pouted and glanced at Ye Shuiyu perfunctorily, answering impatiently.
In Ye Shuiyu’s mind, this was Zhao Miaomiao’s tacit acknowledgment that she had already become ugly.
Ye Shuiyu immediately felt terrible—without a beautiful face, what would she use to pursue Xuyi?
Ye Shuiyu looked at her watch. There were still fifteen minutes left. Remembering the makeup counter in the department store full of zombies that she had passed by when giving Song Xuyi the bouquet the night before, Ye Shuiyu made a quick decision and stuffed the mirror back into Zhao Miaomiao’s arms: “You comb your own hair! I’ll be back in fifteen minutes…”
Zhao Miaomiao: …?!
Zhao Miaomiao pouted and tied her hair into two little buns.
This was the ugliest hairstyle in Zhao Miaomiao’s memory. Zhao Miaomiao decided to give Song Xuyi a piece of her mind later: anyone with eyes would know that Zhao Miaomiao hadn’t been properly taken care of, and Mommy Xuyi would definitely scold Ye Shuiyu.
However, when Ye Shuiyu appeared again holding Zhao Miaomiao’s hand, Song Xuyi couldn’t spare any attention to look at Zhao Miaomiao—although she knew Ye Shuiyu was beautiful, Song Xuyi had never imagined that Ye Shuiyu could be this stunning:
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Ye Shuiyu was already a peerless beauty, and who knows where she found makeup, but she had applied light makeup, making her lips more alluring and her eyes brighter. With her head lowered and brows raised, she looked like a bewitching fairy, so beautiful that Song Xuyi dared not look at her a second time.
The guilt in her heart grew deeper and deeper.
“Where… where did you find the makeup,” Song Xuyi inexplicably felt her mouth go dry, and she averted her gaze: “You look so beautiful like this!”
“I got it from an abandoned mall.” Seeing Song Xuyi’s reaction, Ye Shuiyu coughed dryly and turned her head, her ears instantly turning red: “If you want, I can—”
However, before Ye Shuiyu could finish saying “give it to you,” Zhao Miaomiao, who felt it was time for the matchmaking mission, suddenly cried out: “Oh! Is Aunt Shuiyu wanting to do Mommy Xuyi’s makeup? Mommy Xuyi would definitely be very happy…”
The author has something to say:
Appearance anxiety finally caught up with Ye Shuiyu.
