Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1717: Chapter 1049: Zhuang Shuyuan’s Ally Plan

Zhuang Shuyuan was caught in a state of unease, lying on the bed in the Inspection Department’s lounge, her face shifting between light and dark emotions.

For a moment, she couldn’t distinguish whether what Liang Yuan said was true or not.

It’s just that Liang Yuan’s strength was unfathomable; she truly couldn’t guess his intentions.

After contemplating for a while, she suddenly laughed.

“Even if he really has Mind Reading Technique, he’d definitely already know my thoughts, yet he’s still willing to sleep with me. Doesn’t that speak to my allure?”

With this thought, Zhuang Shuyuan felt a surge of pride.

For a woman, the greatest pride is undoubtedly her charm.

If Liang Yuan surely knew her ulterior motives, wanting to leverage his connections to enter higher ranks of power.

Yet he said nothing and still gave her this Minister of the Inspection Department position, doesn’t this mean he doesn’t care about her little schemes?

“Still too impatient, next time I shouldn’t compare myself to those few little wives of his.”

She found that those women around Liang Yuan must have fed him some sort of love potion. Whenever she even mentioned them slightly, he would immediately turn hostile.

“Hmph.”

Zhuang Shuyuan couldn’t help but snort.

At that moment, Xiaojie’s voice came from outside the door.

“Minister, Miss Bai heard that you’re not feeling well and insisted on coming to see you, she’s already outside.”

Zhuang Shuyuan was taken aback, looked at the red marks and palm prints on her body, and instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, Bai Lingzhen’s pretty face and exaggerated figure, along with the attentive glances Liang Yuan often gave her, flashed through her mind.

Suddenly, Zhuang Shuyuan got a clever idea, recalling a plan she had before.

She had always wanted to recruit ‘Nai Bai’ Bai Zhirui into her camp.

With her Mind Reading superpower, it was easy to see that girl also had feelings for Liang Yuan.

But that girl was shy; she went out with Liang Yuan alone and nothing happened.

This left her quite vexed.

The girl always had the will but lacked the courage.

She never managed to get her onto Liang Yuan’s bed.

Later, Zhuang Shuyuan shifted her target to Han Xiangman.

However, Han Xiangman was different from Bai Zhirui; Han Xiangman was a serious woman, not fond of jokes.

Several interactions all resulted in Han Xiangman acting indifferent and aloof.

She felt like nothing could get through to her, and she was even harder to persuade than Bai Zhirui.

She had almost given up, ready to take matters into her own hands and see if she could get pregnant with Liang Yuan’s child.

Having a child would allow her to rise in status, and even without alliances, she could secure a place with Liang Yuan.

But after making exchanges with Liang Yuan several times, she found she just couldn’t keep up.

Liang Yuan, at Star God level, had a Constitution and Recovery Power that were dozens or even hundreds of times greater than hers.

Even if she were made of water, she’d be drained dry.

And then there were Liang Yuan’s recent words, which made her feel a bit intimidated.

Whether Liang Yuan could truly hear her inner thoughts, she couldn’t quite determine.

After much deliberation, she suddenly thought of Bai Lingzhen.

When observing how Liang Yuan looked at Bai Lingzhen, given her understanding of men, Liang Yuan certainly had intentions.

But having intentions doesn’t mean he needed to possess.

At Liang Yuan’s level of strength, his standards were already quite high.

But to Zhuang Shuyuan, she needed an ally.

Regardless of the area, to deal with Yang Mei and that little group, she needed an ally with sufficient strength.

Bai Lingzhen was clearly a business elite. If she could be pulled into her trenches, it would definitely increase her leverage.

But the problem now was how to get Bai Lingzhen to agree?

She rubbed her chin, and a plan gradually formed in her mind.

For the moment, she endured her discomfort and quickly dressed.

Because there were many marks on her body, she didn’t wear a cheongsam but changed into loose clothing to cover most of her skin.

After changing quickly, she said, “Please bring her to the conference room.”

Outside, Xiaojie quickly replied, “Yes, Minister.”

Once Xiaojie was gone, Zhuang Shuyuan found a Recovery Potion from the lounge and gave herself an injection.

Feeling her body gradually recover, she finally felt some relief.

Meanwhile, there was a bit of helplessness on her face.

“People use potions for battles; I’m using them for…”

She shook her head, both crying and laughing.

Then she swiftly made her way to the conference room.

Over at the conference room, when Bai Lingzhen saw Zhuang Shuyuan arrive, she quickly stood up, her face full of guilt.

“Oh dear, Minister Zhuang, look at this. I said I’d come to see you and help treat you, and yet here you are, hosting me instead. Isn’t that making me feel embarrassed?”

Zhuang Shuyuan smiled and said, “It’s not such a big problem, just needed some rest, but I did worry you.”

“I just feel a natural connection between us sisters, getting along at first sight. When I fell ill, you were the first to think of visiting me.”

Bai Lingzhen also smiled and said, “Oh? Was I the first? That’s because I heard the news early; surely many people want to show their concern for you, Minister Zhuang.”

“I’ve said it, let’s just call each other sisters in private. Why do you still call me Minister Zhuang?” Zhuang Shuyuan pretended to be dissatisfied.

Bai Lingzhen wryly smiled and quickly said, “Sister Shuyuan’s right, it’s my mistake.”

Zhuang Shuyuan smiled and said, “We’re all sisters, Lingzhen, coincidentally there’s nothing going on now, let me take you for a tour around Yangshan.”

“Did you want to stock up on some goods? Let me help you get familiar.”

Bai Lingzhen was delighted in her heart but still politely asked, “It’s not urgent, mainly you should rest more, Sister Shuyuan. If you tire yourself out, then it’s my fault as your little sister.”

Zhuang Shuyuan waved her hand, “No worries, we’re all Superpower Users, what could possibly go wrong?”

Bai Lingzhen, hearing this, took a careful look at Zhuang Shuyuan’s face.

Seeing her blush yet glimmering with a healthy sheen, she indeed didn’t seem sick.

Secretly intrigued, she still insisted, “How about I take a look, Sister Shuyuan? I have Healing Skills.”

Zhuang Shuyuan was surprised and asked, “You’re also a Healing Superpower User?”

“Not a professional healer, but my abilities happen to have some healing effects,” Bai Lingzhen said with a smile.

Zhuang Shuyuan quickly asked, “May I know what your superpower attribute is, Lingzhen?”

Bai Lingzhen smiled and replied, “There’s nothing to hide, I’m a Water Attribute Superpower User.”

Zhuang Shuyuan couldn’t help but ask, “Water Attribute can also have healing abilities?”

Bai Lingzhen: “Of course, not just Water Attribute, actually quite a few other attributes have healing skills too.”

“Perhaps when we first awaken, we might only awaken a single skill, but that’s mainly to confirm our superpower attribute.”

“As our strength improves, any skills that resonate with your attribute can actually be cultivated and learned.”

“For example, Spirit Ability Users can generally learn telekinesis-related skills.”

“There are even some spiritual transference and spiritual illusion skills, which all belong to the Spirit Attribute Skills.”

“As long as you branch out, you can make use of what you’ve learned.”

“And my Water Attribute Superpower does have healing skills, I specifically studied them before.”

Bai Lingzhen smiled and said, “Sister Shuyuan, let me take a look at you.”
