Xie Ning froze for a moment, her mind wandering.
'She doesn't seem used to being cared for like this. Maybe it's because she's always seen herself as the one protecting her family?'
Something stirred in Gu Chen's mind.
Seeing she was somewhat flustered, he quickly said, "Let's go inside and take a look."
Song You'ai suddenly grumbled, "Looks like I'll need to wear a hazmat suit or something to kill zombies from now on!"
"Otherwise, with all this disgusting blood and corpse goo spraying everywhere, it's enough to make me puke up last night's dinner!"
Gu Chen couldn't help but chuckle. "Ma'am, may I see the knife you're holding?"
"Here!" Song You'ai handed over her prized possession without a second thought.
"It's because you have a good knife." Gu Chen flicked the blade with his finger. It let out a clear, metallic hum as an arc of Gold Element energy invisibly rippled through the air.
'What a fine blade!' Gu Chen's eyes lit up.
