Chapter 192: Chapter 192: An Amulet for You, Wear It Always

Yu An checked over and over again, but she couldn’t find any difference between Han Li and Little Wolf and everyone else.

"There’s nothing special about them."

Yu An was staring a hole through the father and son, but she still couldn’t see anything unusual about them.

They both had one nose and two eyes. ’Could it be that because Snow Wolves are canines, their sense of smell is especially sharp?’

’How ridiculous.’ Yu An chuckled at her own guess.

"An’an! An’an! Come quickly!"

Little Thirteen, who had been in charge of watering the fruit tree, floated over, his voice filled with excitement. "It bore fruit! The little tree has fruit!"

Fruit...

Yu An’s eyes lit up instantly. "I think I know the reason!"

Han Li’s Beast Father had once eaten a fruit. Because of that fruit, he didn’t truly die after his death but continued to live on as a skeleton.

Han Li and Little Wolf were both of his bloodline. Could it be that they had inherited the fruit’s effects in their blood?

She stood up and walked over. The others didn’t understand what was happening, but Han Li had a vague idea.

The sapling... No, it should be called a little tree now. It stood perfectly straight, covered in leaves.

Unlike ordinary fruit trees, it didn’t blossom before bearing fruit. Instead, it had first grown a single, green fruit.

Just one, hanging there all by itself.

During this time, the little tree had been watered with undiluted Divine Spring Water, yet it had only grown a single fruit, which showed just how precious the fruit was.

Yu An suddenly grew curious about who had been so generous back then, giving Han Li’s Beast Father a whole fruit in one go.

She instructed Little Thirteen to continue watering it and to notify her once the fruit was ripe.

Han Li looked at the fruit and asked, "So, is it because of this fruit?"

"It’s very likely," Yu An said with a shrug. "Other than that, there doesn’t seem to be any other reason."

She gave the father and son a task: if they smelled the same foul odor on any of their own people, they were to tell her immediately to prevent them from being harmed by their own.

As for enemies, it didn’t matter. They were enemies, after all.

Han Li nodded. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

Yu An noticed. "What is it?"

"An’an, if... I mean, if."

He stammered, "What if that person was you?"

After all, they had all been in the pool water. Even though they had drunk the Divine Spring Water, what if...

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ao Wu said, displeased. "How could anything happen to An’an!"

"Ao Wu," Yu An stopped him and said seriously, "if I get controlled, you are not to hold back."

Now none of them were happy. "An’an!"

Yu An gave a helpless smile. "It’s just a ’what if.’ We still have the Divine Spring Water, don’t we? I mean, if I don’t cooperate, you have to force-feed me the Divine Spring Water."

"That’s more like it," Lan Ying muttered. "But there’s absolutely no way that’ll happen. We’ll all protect you."

"Last time was an accident, but it was also because we weren’t strong enough."

Ao Wu frowned. "An’an, those people sprinkled something on us, I don’t know what, but our spiritual power completely vanished!"

Otherwise, those people would have been no match for them!

Yu An was puzzled too. "Speaking of which, my guard shouldn’t have been that low, but I just couldn’t sense anyone approaching."

Recalling that day, the back of her neck ached faintly.

She had spent ten years on high alert in the apocalypse. Although her guard had lowered a little after transmigrating here, that day was just wrong.

Besides, Lu Lu had been there at the time. To better protect the Zaizai, Lu Lu had placed quite a few of its duplicates in the house and yard.

Just as she thought of Lu Lu, it suddenly emerged from the soil and wrapped around Yu An’s hand, muttering dejectedly, "An’an, it’s all my fault. If only I hadn’t recalled all my duplicates to cultivate back then."

Yu An quickly comforted it. "How could it be your fault? You couldn’t have predicted what the bad guys would do."

Seeing that Lu Lu was still blaming itself, she took a different approach to comfort it. "In a little while, we’re going to face the mastermind. When that time comes, you can give him a good whipping. How about that?"

Only then did Lu Lu cheer up a bit, gritting its teeth. "When the time comes, I’m definitely going to whip his butt hard!"

Yu An beamed. "Good. I support you."

Ao Wu was a little envious. "An’an, you’re so good to Lu Lu."

"Of course," Yu An said affectionately, holding Lu Lu in her arms. "We’re the best of sisters!"

The kind who had been through life and death together. At the beginning of the apocalypse, she had faced danger many times, and Lu Lu had saved her from peril more times than she could count.

Lu Lu nuzzled against Yu An. A flower bloomed at the tip of its vine, then quickly withered, revealing a round, green seed.

"An’an, I’ve already grown twelve leaves. This is a seed I’ve condensed. Take it as an Amulet."

"It’s beautiful!"

Yu An accepted it preciously. There was a small hole in it, just right for threading a string through.

She found a suitable, sturdy string, threaded it through, and wore it around her neck.

Lu Lu’s leaves grew in accordance with Yu An’s Superpower Level, but after obtaining the Divine Spring Water, it could also grow leaves by drinking it.

Just like Yu An’s superpower, it could only grow twelve leaves and no more. However, this was the first time Yu An had heard that Lu Lu could produce a seed.

"This is the only one," Lu Lu said, hooking her pinky finger with its vine. "It’s a testament to our friendship. You have to wear it always, okay?"

They were still at the bottom of the sea. Before leaving, Yu An made a trip to Coral City.

The Steward was leading the guards in hastily repairing the pool, fixing what little they could.

Yu An directed a vine to sneak in from underground, collect a vial of the pool water, and then pull back.

Before leaving, she thought for a moment and tossed a few burning gas canisters over.

This time, the Steward was blown into a daze. He was bombed without even seeing where his attacker was.

Looking at his wailing subordinates and the pool water GUSHING out, the Steward plopped down on the ground.

It’s over!

He might as well find a crooked tree and hang himself!

Yu An specifically chose to go out at night. She found a hidden spot and released the Beastmen who had been unconscious the whole time.

Estimating the drug’s duration, they would likely wake up in about a quarter of an hour. Yu An also had someone send a message to a nearby tribe.

When the Turtle Clan males arrived with their people, they saw a large group of people lying there.

"Beast Father! It’s Beast Father!"

"My son, how did you get so thin..."

"Has anyone seen my Beast Husband? I can’t find him."

"SOB SOB SOB... Brother, where are you, brother?"

For a moment, cries and shouts mingled together. When the Turtle Clan male went to look for the person who had sent them the message, he found that person had already vanished.

He thought of the people he had met before and silently bowed in the direction of the seashore.

Yu An watched from a distance for a while before having Ao Wu take her away. Ao Wu was very fast, and they estimated they could reach Dragon City, the city of the Dragon Clan, by noon the next day.

She had never once met this Beast Father, Ao Jin, and had no idea what kind of person he would be...

"An’an," Ao Wu suddenly said, "if my Beast Father hugs you and cries, don’t pull away. Otherwise, he’ll cry even harder."

Yu An’s mouth twitched. "Huh?"

’Her Beast Father is a crybaby?’

"He’s like that every time," Ao Wu said, completely used to it. "Every time he thinks of you and my Female Mother, he cries more than a torrential downpour."

Yu An: "..."

Alright then.
