I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

You know, she's a sadist! A super extreme sadist!

Although this was in her nature, she had always suppressed it out of consideration for Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue's feelings, only occasionally letting out a little bit of venting. After all, not everyone could adapt to this kind of play, and it might even make the person she liked feel disgusted with her.

However, this time Xiao Momo took the initiative to offer the opportunity...

Yan Ziming clenched his fists: "...I swear in the name of the second path—divine punishment."

Mu Mu's expression suddenly changed.

Because the moment Yan Ziming finished speaking, she felt a special will descend upon her, as if she were facing the heavens.

—Established.

In the darkness, Mu Mu seemed to hear those two words, which didn't actually exist, but she just heard them; it was quite mysterious.

By this time, she already knew that Yan Ziming wasn't making empty promises like those scumbags, and even if he broke them, he wouldn't actually be struck by lightning.

But Yan Ziming is different. If she goes against the rules, the second path she has finally found will collapse!

"What are you doing?!" Mu Mu grabbed her shoulders, anger flashing in his eyes: "You actually used this as an oath?! Are you crazy?!"

"This is an agreement, and also a reminder to myself."

"Just for a bet?" Mu Mu's eyes darkened.

"Yes, it's all because of this bet. What, are you just joking?"

Yan Ziming smiled fearlessly. Mu Mu sighed, revealing a "you've defeated me" expression, and said while rubbing her forehead:

"...You win! Although I can't do what you do, I will keep my promise. Give me a timeframe, when? Just name your time."

Yan Ziming revealed a triumphant smile: "Let's set it for—"

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Lake Monster

As expected, Yan Ziming was called out by Liu Mengxian to continue the morning's training that evening. This time, Mu Mu did not obstruct her and surprisingly went with them.

Liu Mengxian didn't seem to care about what happened in the afternoon, or at least that's how Yan Ziming saw it.

The day passed quickly.

The next morning, at nine o'clock sharp, Yan Ziming arrived at Xiaoqi and the others' place as promised and began the new activities.

Military training is over, and today is the real start. Although military-style management is still in place, it is undoubtedly much freer than yesterday.

"Xiao Qi, Yuan Yuan."

Yan Ziming picked up the two little girls, followed not far behind by Ye Qianxue and Mu Mu, both of whom were wearing sunglasses.

"Sister Zimo, everyone is looking at you," Yuanyuan whispered as she leaned closer.

"...This is something that was expected, so just ignore it."

Yan Ziming looked around and saw that everyone was indeed looking at him, and they quickly looked away after making eye contact with him.

There is no doubt that her fight with Fang He the night before last made her famous.

Now, they all suspect, to varying degrees, that they are Yan Zimo. No, it should be said that they are already certain, but they lack concrete evidence and can only believe it in their hearts.

Even if they weren't, they would still treat them with great respect because of their status as high-level superhumans.

Yan Ziming was confident in her disguise. To better conceal her identity, she tied her hair into a bun and placed it in front of her chest, giving her a rather wifely air.

Ye Qianxue also made some changes, styling her hair into a single ponytail. Mu Mu, on the other hand, didn't need to go through all that trouble; she could simply dye her hair the same way she did last time.

Their first stop was a famous industrial park in Yong'an. Xiaoqi and her friends boarded a bus and arrived in about twenty minutes.

As soon as I got off the car, a pleasant breeze brushed against my face.

"Remember not to run around later," Yan Ziming said, patting the two little girls' heads.

"Don't treat us like children..."

Xiao Qi dodged Yan Ziming's hand in displeasure; she seemed particularly averse to being called a child.

"I didn't say that," Yan Ziming said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.

Just as they were playing around, Meng Shaojun clapped his hands, and the noisy group instantly fell silent.

"Line up, all of you. I'm warning you now: don't make me unhappy. If I'm unhappy, you won't be happy either!"

"......"

Everyone was cursing under their breath, but on the surface they were very compliant, and no one wanted to ruin their happy trip.

"Everyone line up! You don't need to march perfectly, but the formation must not be messed up. If it is messed up even once, you'll have to stand at attention for five minutes! Move—forward!"

The group began to move around loosely. Meng Shaojun had just said that as long as the formation was not messed up, they were much more relaxed, so much so that their arm swings were loose and slack.

Meng Shaojun didn't say anything, and led the students inside, with the guardians walking behind, occasionally taking pictures of their children.

Yan Ziming, on the other hand, secretly joined up with Ye Qianxue and Mu Mu, who had sneaked in.

"Let's make a plan," Yan Ziming suggested.

"If they want to leave the group to play, at least one person needs to stay here to watch over them..."

Mu Mu waved her hand: "No need for such trouble. I remember that once we arrive at our destination, we'll be free to do whatever we want."

"Huh! Is that so?"

"That's right. You bastard, even though I'm not your guardian, I know better than you how you acted as someone else's guardian!"

"......"

That's absolutely undeniable!

Yan Ziming was so angry that her teeth itched, but what Mu Mu said was the truth; she really didn't know anything about the itinerary for this trip.

Ye Qianxue suddenly hugged Yan Zimo's slender waist:

"Hehe, Qianxue researched all of this, it has nothing to do with Master Sister!"

"Hmm—?" Mu Mu gave her a dangerous look, which made Ye Qianxue shrink back in fright.

"Qianxue, don't be afraid of her, your older sister is here!"

Yan Ziming glared at Mu Mu, making his stance clear. Mu Mu scoffed and said:

"Your dear sister has been checking out all sorts of travel guides day and night while you were away, all so she could have a good time these next few days!"

"......"

Yan Ziming glanced at Ye Qianxue silently, while the latter looked at her sweetly, a sight that melted her heart.

Come to think of it, I haven't had much time with them lately, as I've been exploring the mysteries of Thunder Spirit, and have neglected them as a result.

Yan Ziming gave Ye Qianxue a hard kiss on the cheek and then picked her up in his arms.

"Ah! My dear sister!" Ye Qianxue exclaimed, a blush creeping onto her face. "And we're still outside..."

"Hoo~~" Yan Ziming blew a breath into her ear and Ye Qianxue's body immediately went limp. Yan Ziming pinched her waist: "You still care whether we're outside or not?"

Although his younger sister was cute, Yan Ziming never forgot the fact that she was a pervert second only to Mu Mu.

Shy? Not at all!

"Hey hehe~~"

Having her acting skills exposed, Ye Qianxue smiled sheepishly.

"You two..." Mu Mu stared at them with dead fish eyes, "Aren't you attracting enough attention already?"

"alright."

Yan Ziming reluctantly agreed, put Ye Qianxue down, and changed to holding hands. However, Ye Qianxue was not satisfied with this and pressed herself against him, rubbing against him from time to time.

"Qianxue, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"Hmm... Qianxue has done some research these past two days. There's a rumor circulating around this lake..."

Ye Qianxue spoke in a mysterious tone, which piqued Yan Ziming's interest.

"Take a guess?"

"It's just a lake monster, what's so special about it?"

Mu Mu, who was walking in front, exposed him without any mercy, which made Ye Qianxue yell angrily: "Master sister, you can't do this to me! You're bullying me!"

"Lake monster?" Yan Ziming stroked his chin. "In this day and age, even if a lake monster really existed, it would only be caught or die."

“Little Momo is right. The rock python I killed by Taihe Lake last time in Yongjing was the real lake monster!”

Things like the Loch Ness Monster from before the apocalypse, deep-sea monsters, and other such strange creatures have long lost their mystique in this day and age.

Have you ever seen a mutated species that's forty or fifty meters long, or even seventy or eighty meters, or over two hundred meters tall? It could pulverize the Loch Ness Monster with a single slap!

Therefore, even if there is a water monster, the possibility of it being a mutated species cannot be ruled out. The relevant departments will definitely dispatch people with supernatural abilities to deal with it as soon as possible to avoid casualties.

There's nothing more to talk about on this topic... Ah.

As Yan Ziming was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that Ye Qianxue seemed to be in a low mood, which made Yan Ziming feel very sorry for her.

After all, I had done so much research just to have something to look forward to today, only to have Mu Mu expose my true intentions with a single sentence.

Yan Ziming glared at Mu Mu and continued the conversation, "Qianxue, tell me in detail."
