Chapter 151: 7 Jin

Big Jiao and Little Jiao split up, each running in a different direction.

As they ran, they kept glancing back, a little scared at first.

But when they saw Shi Yuebai sitting in her wheelchair, just watching them from behind,

They immediately felt less nervous.

Soon, a man was about to catch up to Big Jiao.

Suddenly, the sound of a crossbow bolt slicing through the air rang out.

Second Sister-in-law Shi had already been standing on a large rock, waiting for someone to get close before firing her crossbow.

Because bullets were hard to make due to a lack of materials, Guai Guai had made Second Sister-in-law Shi a delicate, compact crossbow.

It could be mounted directly on her forearm.

Normally, you couldn’t even tell it was a crossbow.

When it was needed, it could be deployed, turning into a deadly weapon.

On her other forearm, Second Sister-in-law Shi wore a band holding ten crossbow bolts.

Unlike ancient crossbow bolts, these ten bolts would automatically return after being fired.

They were equipped with an auto-return mechanism.

That’s the kind of person Guai Guai was—usually low-key, but the things he made always brought huge surprises.

With her crossbow, Second Sister-in-law Shi killed five or six people outright.

All of them were the ones closest to Big Jiao.

Shi Yuebai glanced over and saw that Xiao Lingye was chasing after Little Jiao.

As he ran, Xiao Lingye let out a revolting laugh.

Back on Big Jiao’s side, Second Sister-in-law Shi was dominating, shooting down her pursuers with ease.

Many people didn’t even know why the ones ahead of them were suddenly falling.

All they knew was to keep chasing after Big Jiao.

The route Big Jiao took wasn’t a straight line, but more of a circle.

She never strayed too far from Second Sister-in-law Shi’s range.

Shi Yuebai had taught both Big Jiao and Little Jiao all of this.

Eventually, a few people noticed Second Sister-in-law Shi standing on the big rock.

“That bitch has a weapon!”

Someone shouted, and quite a few people broke off to rush at Second Sister-in-law Shi.

Second Sister-in-law Shi was beautiful too—a once-famous actress who married into a wealthy family before the apocalypse.

No one expected that after the world fell apart, she’d still look the same, her face full of collagen, her whole body glowing with vitality.

But none of that mattered now, because this star had just killed people.

Second Sister-in-law Shi made them realize that capturing Big Jiao and Little Jiao wasn’t going to be as easy as they’d thought.

She was good at long-range attacks,

But not so much at close combat.

However, Shi Yuebai had already arranged for Captain Qiao, Xu Xuejiao, Pang Zhenggong, Ah Hong, and Nong Yasi to lie in wait around Second Sister-in-law Shi.

When they saw the pursuers turning on Second Sister-in-law Shi,

They all stood up and charged in, wielding spatulas, hoes, shovels, sticks, stones, and small knives.

Under their protection, Second Sister-in-law Shi kept picking off those chasing after Big Jiao.

Even when chaos erupted all around her, she could still pinpoint Big Jiao’s location with deadly accuracy.

“Dare to lay a finger on my daughter? I’ll kill you!”

“You city folks, life’s been too easy for you, hasn’t it?”

“I’ve been flipping rocks for years—even if I’m fat now, you’re no match for my strength!”

“Take this, my brick!”

None of them were professional fighters.

But their advantage was that they weren’t afraid of getting hurt.

They knew they didn’t have to worry about dying, or about not having medical supplies if they got injured.

As long as they made it back to the Tongzi Frame, any wound could heal quickly.

Even if they died, Shi Yuebai could bring them back.

So what was there to fear? They fought like they had nothing to lose.

The people Xiao Lingye brought were furious, cursing,

“I’ve never seen people as ruthless as you! Aaaah!”

The battle was completely one-sided—everyone raised by Shi Yuebai had faced death before.

This wasn’t their first time killing, nor their first time staring death in the face.

On Big Jiao’s side, there was never any suspense.

Shi Yuebai teleported in an instant, appearing in front of Little Jiao.

Xiao Lingye was already about to catch her.

Behind him were seven or eight men, most from his original team.

When people split up to chase, they naturally followed whoever they knew best.

Since Xiao Lingye was after Little Jiao, his men followed suit.

When Little Jiao saw Shi Yuebai, she cried out in delight, “Auntie!”

Then she hid behind Shi Yuebai.

Xiao Lingye froze, stopping in his tracks and glancing back.

Wasn’t that fat woman just over there?

How did she get here so fast?

Shi Yuebai was still holding her long staff,

Tapping it in her palm.

Xiao Lingye’s face twisted in disgust,

“Disgusting! Just looking at you makes me want to puke. Get out of my way!”

Before Shi Yuebai could reply, Little Jiao, furious, picked up a stone and threw it at Xiao Lingye,

“Don’t you dare talk bad about my auntie!”

Xiao Lingye got hit and glared at Little Jiao viciously.

Little Jiao yelped and ducked back behind Shi Yuebai in fright.

Shi Yuebai stopped tapping her staff, turned to Little Jiao, and said,

“Watch closely. I’m only going to teach you this once.”

She set down her staff, her plump fingers flying through a series of hand seals.

Suddenly, the world seemed to distort.

A woman in a red wedding dress with long black hair flew out from Shi Yuebai’s body, knees bent, holding a long staff, her skirt trailing behind her like a red mist.

Xiao Lingye and his men felt dizzy, unable to process the surreal scene before them.

When they snapped out of it, Shi Yuebai was still sitting in her wheelchair, her fingers twisted into a strange gesture.

The woman in red, her hair as dark as ink, raised her staff and brought it down hard on Xiao Lingye’s head.

“Point Staff.”

She glanced back at Little Jiao, her figure slender and graceful, her face pale as paper, lips blood-red.

Little Jiao murmured in a daze, “Auntie?”

Though the vision was blurry, the cold look in the red-dressed woman’s eyes was unmistakably her aunt’s.

She looked a lot like Shi Mu, with a hint of Shi Yaoyao as well.

This was Little Jiao’s aunt.

But why was she so thin?

The distorted woman in red gripped the staff with both hands and brought it down in a powerful chop on another man,

“Chop Staff.”

A third man lunged at her, and the woman in red thrust the tip of her staff straight at his chest,

“Thrust Staff.”

“Flick Staff.”

“Sweep Staff.”

She performed a simple set of staff techniques, and Xiao Lingye and his men had no chance to fight back.

Shi Yuebai sat unmoving in her wheelchair.

A bead of sweat slid down her forehead, her face growing even paler.

Her massive body looked like an empty shell, utterly lifeless.

This soul-out-of-body move had cost her two jin.

684.7 jin.

But the price was steep.

Shi Yuebai’s head felt like it was about to explode.

“Come back.” The woman in red spun her staff, creating a dazzling blur.

She slung the staff over her back, raised her other hand, and pressed two fingers together in front of her brow.

Her whole body, dreamlike and ethereal, flew back into Shi Yuebai.

Little Jiao stood stunned, the staff technique her aunt had just shown her forever etched into her mind.

Shi Yuebai finally relaxed, clutching her forehead and groaning in pain,

“Ah!”

Losing weight feels great for a moment, but the aftermath is hell.

Her head hurt. It hurt so much.

Today was parent-teacher conference day."
