Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 3: Get out if you don't want to die

The person in charge of cooking is Aunt Zhang, who is in her fifties.

"what are you up to?"

Aunt Zhang was slightly surprised to see Ye Qiumian, who had disappeared for several days.

I never expected that she was still alive.

I thought she had gone out with the supplies-gathering team and died outside.

"Cook some rice," Ye Qiu said.

Cooking rice?
Where did she get the rice?

Aunt Zhang glanced at Ye Qiu Mian with a scrutinizing look, guessing that it might be some spoiled rice.

So she confidently stretched out her hand and said arrogantly, "Cooking rice requires three crystal cores."

Ye Qiumian took out three crystal cores and handed them to her.

She secretly dug the crystal core out of the head of a dead zombie when she went out with the team.

But I only managed to collect five, and now I only have two left.

Ye Qiumian chose one of the stoves and started cooking rice.

First, wash the pot clean, then secretly pour in some water from the space, and then pour in a small portion of the spirit rice.

After turning on the heat, bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium heat.

Aunt Zhang sat outside the door, glancing at the people inside from time to time at first.

When the spiritual water is boiled, the aroma of the spiritual rice mixed with the steam enters the nostrils.

Aunt Zhang involuntarily took a deep breath, and a look of rapture appeared on her wrinkled face.

The next moment, she jumped up from the stool with a start.

Where did this little girl get such fragrant rice?
Did she go out with the supplies-hunting team and secretly hoard supplies?
Aunt Zhang suddenly realized that the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had guessed the truth.

She burst into the house and immediately saw the pot of fragrant, plump, white rice.

One glance was enough to make her drool.

Moreover, being so close, the aroma of the rice made her even more intoxicated.

Saliva even began to secrete uncontrollably from the mouth.

Seeing that the spirit rice was cooked, Ye Qiumian took the container she had brought out beforehand and began to scoop the spirit rice into it.

Just as the fragrant rice was about to be served up, Aunt Zhang stared with wide, round eyes and stopped her, saying, "Wait, where did you get your rice?"

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the vessel in Ye Qiumian's hand.

Ye Qiu Mian's calm eyes flashed with displeasure. With a gentle flick of her hand, Aunt Zhang was sent flying out of the house and crashed heavily to the ground.

"what--"

Aunt Zhang screamed repeatedly and lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

After serving the spirit rice, Ye Qiumian didn't even glance at Aunt Zhang, whose face was pale, and walked away leisurely.

Back in her room, Ye Qiumian slowly ate the spirit rice.

The rice is fragrant and has a chewy, springy texture.

Once inside the abdomen, the wisps of spiritual energy contained within slowly flow into the dantian.

Unfortunately, eating only spirit rice is a bit bland.

If paired with Liang He's roasted rabbit meat, it would be worth any amount of top-grade spirit stones.

Can't think about it anymore.

The more she thought about it, the more eager she became to go back.

Half an hour later, Ye Qiumian looked at the remaining half of the spirit rice and thought that she was still in the apocalypse, so she shouldn't waste it.

Just as she was about to throw the spiritual rice into her spatial dimension, an angry voice came from outside the door.

"She lives here; she must have been secretly hoarding supplies behind your backs."

"Bang—"

With a loud bang, the door was violently kicked open.

Five people were standing at the door, and Aunt Zhang was among them.

Upon seeing Ye Qiumian and the spirit rice in her hand, Aunt Zhang's eyes nearly spit fire.

"See, I didn't lie to you. She was stealing rice, and now we've caught her red-handed."

Everyone else's eyes fell on the spirit rice.

The white rice in that bowl was perfectly separated, each grain exuding a fragrant aroma; it looked incredibly tempting.

The moment they kicked the door open, they smelled the aroma—a fragrance unlike that of ordinary rice. A gentle whiff of that aroma gave them a sense of blissful intoxication.

The man with the buzz cut who was in the lead suddenly turned serious.

"Hand over all the supplies you've been hoarding, and I might spare you this time."

He could sense the extraordinary quality of the rice in her hands; just smelling its aroma made his supernatural abilities slowly rise.

Although this slight change is as small as a pebble dropped into the ocean, it is almost imperceptible.

But he still managed to catch it.

If he obtained this rice and handed it over to his superiors, perhaps he could directly replace Wu Tong in his position.
The man with the buzz cut became more and more excited as he thought about it, his eyes filled with determination as he looked at Ye Qiumian.

Aunt Zhang was immediately unhappy when she heard that the man with the buzz cut wanted to spare her.

Then she was beaten for nothing!

She feels a sharp pain in the bones of her arm from time to time, which may be due to the fall that injured the bones.

She simply couldn't swallow this insult!

"We can't let her get away with this. If everyone were like her, wouldn't everyone be able to hoard supplies?"

The other three wanted to curry favor with Aunt Zhang, so they chimed in.

"Aunt Zhang is right, nothing can be accomplished without rules."

"The supplies available outside are becoming increasingly scarce, and we don't even know if we'll be able to find any more in the future."

“That’s right. She broke the rules today, and we can’t let her off the hook, or others will follow suit.”

With the three people echoing her sentiments, Aunt Zhang felt emboldened and began to swell with confidence.

She had completely forgotten how Ye Qiumian had just flung her away.

She raised her chin and looked at Ye Qiumian with disdain.

She appeared calm and showed no signs of fear.

Anger arises from the heart, evil comes from the courage.

Aunt Zhang felt her mind go blank as she was overwhelmed by boundless rage.

She swung her fist fiercely and slammed it toward Ye Qiumian's face.

It all happened so fast that no one had time to react.

The next moment, Aunt Zhang's arm detached from her body, spun in the air, and then fell to the ground.

“Ahhhh—”

Aunt Zhang let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Everyone's face showed a look of shock.

The man with the buzz cut looked wary; he hadn't even seen how the woman in front of him had made her move.

When did our team get such a capable person?
How come he's never heard of any of this?
He pondered for a moment whether he could have safely dodged that attack.

The answer is no!
After thinking it through, the man with the buzz cut intervened in time to stop the three people who were about to attack Ye Qiu Mian.

The man with the buzz cut bowed slightly and clasped his hands in apology to Ye Qiumian.

"It seems to be a misunderstanding; we were also deceived by Aunt Zhang."

"Boss, what's wrong with you..."

"Shut up!"

The three men were not convinced, and were immediately kicked hard by the man with the buzz cut.

Ye Qiu Mian looked calmly at the man with the buzz cut.

This person is quite pragmatic.

Ye Qiumian: "Where is Wu Tong?"

"???"

"He took the supplies to Lincheng," the man with the buzz cut said truthfully.

Having obtained the information she wanted, Ye Qiu Mian immediately expelled them.

"If you don't want to die, get out."

Those who cultivate immortality do not easily commit acts of killing.

But she always adhered to the principle: I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will punish them no matter how far away they are.

Wu Tong will definitely not stay!
