Chapter 15 A Sword that Runs Rampant in the Apocalypse (15)

Clap clap clap clap.

Shi Minzhi applauded and faced off against Bai Tang, saying, “Bai Tang, I merely informed him of the facts. Care to guess if he would throw away the unconscious old lady or even kill her?”

Bai Tang also replied, “You’ll see the result tonight. If neither of those things happen, then you lose.”

Shi Minzhi chuckled and flexed his fingers, revealing his prominent veins. “Bai Tang, you’re still too naive. Human nature is such that it’s filled with hypocrisy, deceit, selfishness, and self-interest. I… have already won.”

Bai Tang smiled and said nothing. Shi Minzhi thought he had won, but he didn’t know that he had already lost since the time when Grandpa carried Grandma on his back.

Bai Tang found a kitchen that still had gas and started cooking. She thought that she needed to find a woman or man who could cook to do this job because she was not used to using her weapons hand to cook.

Shi Minzhi poured two glasses of water and mixed in some crushed medicine. He stirred and let it sit, making it look like two ordinary glasses of water.

Coward had slept all the way and turned over lazily. Shi Minzhi disliked the feeling in his arms and looked down to see a furry creature shedding fur on him.

Like a devil, Shi Minzhi’s lips curled into a smile as he ran his hand over Coward’s head and slowly slid it down to its neck, his fingers slowly closing in. Coward became uncomfortable and pulled at Shi Minzhi’s hand.

Suddenly, Shi Minzhi’s fingers squeezed tightly as he watched the struggling and gasping Coward with enjoyment. The sound of its whimpering and choking reached Bai Tang’s ears. Bai Tang’s finger flicked and a force struck Shi Minzhi’s wrist, causing a sudden pain. Shi Minzhi’s hand loosened and Coward fell to the ground.

There was a thud as Coward, who had only slept for a short while, almost lost its life. Bai Tang squatted down to comfort it as it ran towards her, crying and whining. It had just slept for a short while and almost died.

Bai Tang’s gaze was cold as she said, “Shi Minzhi, Coward is my pet. You don’t have the right to decide its life or death.”

Coward, which had only been alive for a short while, was so scared that it crawled towards Bai Tang, looking as if it had suffered a great injustice.

Shi Minzhi’s eyes were deep and dark, like an endless pit. He chuckled lightly and said, “Then take care of your own things. If this happens again, you may not be able to save it.”

After Coward was comforted, it circled around Bai Tang’s feet. Bai Tang quickly cooked some food and prepared a thick porridge with some meat added for Coward to eat. She also prepared two more dishes and took them to the closed door, knocking on it.

“Who is it?” Grandpa asked as he held his wife’s hand.

“Grandpa, it’s me, little Tang’er. The food is placed outside the door. Remember to bring it in and eat,” replied Bai Tang.

“Alright, alright, I know, little Tang’er,” Grandpa said with a bitter look in his eyes.

After a while, the door opened slightly and the food was brought in.

Bai Tang and Shi Minzhi sat facing each other, each with a glass of water in front of them. Bai Tang said, “Shi Minzhi, right now, you rely on me for food and shelter, like a useless person. I could overlook this now, but when we have more people in the team later, you’ll just continue to enjoy the benefits without contributing. In that case, the dirtiest jobs in the group will fall to you, like taking care of sick people or helping the elderly with their personal hygiene. Do you understand?”

Shi Minzhi furrowed his brows, clearly unwilling. Bai Tang did not care about his willingness or not. Their relationship was both hostile and cooperative, and he had no way to get paid. Bai Tang would not allow it.

System 168 was speechless.

[Host, is taking care of someone’s toilet duties something a blackened big boss can do? You’re playing with fire!]
