Wasteland's Only King

Chapter 367 - 93: Two Compensation Plans! Zhong Muqing: I Also Want My Attribute ’Snatched’!

Bailu City.

Inside the meeting hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Bai Zhining leaned slightly forward, whispering explanations to Yu Jin, who was seated in the City Lord’s position, about Zhong Muqing.

"Her father is one of your Dawn City subordinates..."

"When you returned with the Blue Star players, Muqing’s father’s friend brought back the news..."

On Bai Zhining’s exquisite face, there appeared a hint of embarrassment.

After all.

Zhong Muqing’s sudden shout of ’Daddy’ just now was far too unexpected and loud.

Moreover...

When she shouted it, her eyes seemed to be fixated on Yu Jin.

This made it hard not to misunderstand.

As Zhong Muqing’s good friend, Bai Zhining obviously could not stand by and let such a misunderstanding happen, nor allow Lord Yu Jin to develop a negative impression or evaluation of Zhong Muqing because of it.

Although Yu Jin had just demonstrated a very approachable and affable demeanor.

But in Bai Zhining’s heart, no matter his posture, the identity of Blue Star Civilization Leader would not change.

Only...

Bai Zhining could never have guessed at that moment.

That while she was explaining, Zhong Muqing would call out ’Daddy!’ again.

"..."

Bai Zhining fell silent.

Zhong Muqing stared intently at Yu Jin.

On her youthful and delicate face, a faint blush slowly crept up.

The first shout was indeed ’Daddy’.

But the second...

It was because she noticed Lord Yu Jin seemed quite pleased with the ’Daddy’ she called just now, so she followed up with another shout.

This daddy was not like the other daddy.

"Cough cough——"

Even Yu Jin found it hard to maintain his composure when faced with such antics from this little girl Zhong Muqing.

But in the next moment.

"No!"

"Don’t!"

From outside the meeting hall, a hysterical scream suddenly rang out.

"Eh?"

"What’s that sound?"

"Why does this voice sound a bit familiar?"

Zhong Muqing was the first to react, curious as she turned her head to look.

But the door of the City Lord’s Mansion had been closed after Yu Jin arrived.

At this moment.

With Yu Jin present, neither Zhong Muqing nor Bai Zhining dared to use their Perception Ability as Evolvers to check out the situation outside.

"Hmm..."

Yu Jin, seated in the City Lord’s position, glanced out faintly.

His gaze penetrated the door of the City Lord’s Mansion and the dark night.

The scene at the Martial Arts Plaza came into view——

It was Su Chen.

He was surrounded by layers of City Lord’s Mansion guards.

The Guard Captain, at the early Tier Four, was sternly scrutinizing the ’protagonist’ who exposed his hidden presence.

"Su Chen?"

"The Tier Four Evolver who just appeared in Bailu City today?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Dressed in black robes, sneaky..."

The Guard Captain’s tone gradually turned icy.

"Move!"

Su Chen had only those shouts of ’Daddy’, no, those two shouts, in his mind.

His eyes had turned bloodshot, and he couldn’t care less about the guard captain blocking his way.

Whoosh——!

He ignored the guard captain ahead, continuing to sprint toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Bastard!"

Seeing this scene, the Guard Captain was instantly enraged.

"All Guard Team members on duty!"

"Stop him!"

"Lord Bai and Vice City Lord Zhong are recuperating inside; if they are disturbed, we will all be held accountable!"

Before the Guard Captain had even finished speaking, he led the charge himself.

Boom——

Boom boom——!

Very soon.

A veritable melee broke out on the wide Martial Arts Plaza outside the City Lord’s Mansion.

Su Chen, newly ascended to Tier Four, found himself in a melee with the Tier Four Guard Captain and other Tier Two and Tier Three Guard Team members.

"Boring."

Yu Jin shook his head, withdrawing his gaze.

"What’s wrong, Lord Yu Jin?"

Zhong Muqing had been observing Yu Jin’s expression and quickly asked when she saw him shaking his head.

Although Bai Zhining did not speak, her exquisite face was inexplicably tense.

She was very worried...

If it was one of Bailu City’s subordinates or her guard team members who had done something to anger Lord Yu Jin?

"It’s nothing."

"Let’s continue."

Yu Jin did not dwell on the topic.

Compared to Su Chen, he was more concerned about compensating Bai Zhining.

After all.

He had taken her precious ’Life’ attribute.

"Here’s the thing..."

"Miss Bai, you might have already noticed..."

"That your Life Attribute has vanished into thin air, right?"

Yu Jin slowly got up, walking to stand in front of Bai Zhining.

Yu Jin’s movement made the young City Lord of Bailu City instinctively lower her head slightly.

"Ah, ah?"

"What disappeared?"

"Life attribute..."

"Oh, oh, it seems to have disappeared..."

Bai Zhining’s words stuttered.

Just because——

She could feel the special aura emanating from Yu Jin who was right in front of her.

She couldn’t describe that aura, yet inexplicably, it stirred up an infinite sense of admiration and... fondness within her.

In fact.

This was not ’inexplicable’, but rather the Passive Effect of Yu Jin’s identity as the ’Blue Star Civilization Leader’.

During his time at Dawn Fortress, Yu Jin rarely showed himself before his subordinates, and hence, this effect rarely manifested.

Those whom he interacted with daily, like Yin Ya Naiya, had already reached the peak of loyalty even before Yu Jin acquired the ’Blue Star Civilization Leader’ identity.

Additionally.

The effect of this Passive Ability was more pronounced due to the difference in tiers.

Despite being only Tier Nine due to the Wasteland server rule restrictions, Yu Jin’s Clone Projection proved an impossibly vast gap for Bai Zhining at Tier Five and Zhong Muqing at Tier Four.

"..."

Yu Jin looked at Bai Zhining’s reaction, feeling a bit helpless.

He suddenly felt a bit of regret.

Perhaps he should have explained to Bai Zhining before seizing her ability.
