Chapter 357: 203 Two Choices (Second Update)

They had just turned around when Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang strode out of the house.

Qu Qianhe was full of bottled-up frustration at the sight of them, and her face darkened as she scolded, "Are you even men? Coming out at this time? Were you scared of that madwoman Zhou Fanghua?"

Fang Jintang and his son Fang Yuyang immediately hung their heads in shame, not daring to refute Qu Qianhe’s words.

Seeing this, Qu Qianhe’s irritation grew, and she couldn’t help but want to scold further. Fang Yuxin couldn’t bear to let her continue and quickly pulled her hand, whispering, "Mom, it’s not Dad and Brother’s fault. I signaled them not to come out."

Initially, Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang were hesitant because Zhou Fanghua was by herself and as an Ordinary Person without Awakening any superpowers, stepping in might seem like bullying. So, they stayed inside. However, as Zhou Fanghua’s words grew increasingly out of line, they became restless and prepared to intervene.

Just then, Fang Yuxin used her Spiritual Sense to send a message, asking them to stay inside and not to get involved.

Although anxious, they trusted Fang Yuxin’s words, worrying they might disrupt her plan. Besides, they knew Zhou Fanghua, being an ordinary person, couldn’t possibly harm Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuxin. So they reluctantly stayed put.

As soon as Zhou Fanghua left, they could no longer sit still and hurried out to meet them. Chen Qiao and the others did not continue to stay inside either, following out but walking behind.

After Fang Yuxin explained, even if Qu Qianhe felt unsatisfied, she no longer had the heart to lash out at the father and son. Yet, she still huffed coldly to show her displeasure.

Fang Jintang quickly went to her side, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Qianhe, don’t be angry. I know you’ve been wronged. If you feel upset, just pinch me, okay? Hmm, just don’t let the children see."

Qu Qianhe gave him a stare, but the anger had faded, replaced by a flirtatious and affectionate look that froze Fang Jintang in place, his eyes darkening with an awakening primal desire.

Qu Qianhe, accustomed to her husband’s gaze, blushed and caught sight of Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang nearby. She felt a rush of embarrassment and pinched Fang Jintang’s soft flesh around his waist, warning, "You old coot! The kids are right here! Show some restraint!"

By then, Fang Jintang also noticed Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang, which felt like a bucket of ice water had been dumped on him, extinguishing the instinctual desire within him.

Fang Yuxin had not noticed their subtle exchange, or perhaps she was concerned she might accidentally overhear or witness something inappropriate, so she intentionally blocked her perception of them.

Seeing that Chen Qiao and the others had all come out, Bai Qianqian ran over and clung tightly to her hand, and with everyone looking quite distressed, Fang Yuxin quickly suggested, "Let’s go inside and talk!"

They entered the house, where the air was filled with the tempting aroma of hotpot. Despite hearing Zhou Fanghua’s ultimatum, their appetite had vanished.

Looking at the leftovers on the table and considering they might have had enough, plus feeling a bit hungry herself, Fang Yuxin said, "Continue eating; we’ll talk while we eat."

The enhanced bodies of superpower users meant they had far greater digestive abilities than Ordinary People, allowing them to extract more energy from food. This inadvertently led to an increase in their appetites.

Other superpower users, restricted by their circumstances, dared not indulge freely. Fang Yuxin and her group, having plenty of supplies, were not plagued by such concerns and ate with gusto.

Fresh vegetables and various meats covered the table, and the large pot filled with fragrant hotpot broth was enticing. Such luxurious feasts would certainly attract envy from other survivors if they saw it!

They were lucky Zhou Fanghua disdained hotpot as a commoner’s dish, too vulgar, and was also worried about the smell of the smoke clinging to her clothes, so she didn’t enter. Otherwise, she surely wouldn’t let the Fang Family’s supplies slip by!

While the rest were not full yet and had lost their appetite because of Zhou Fanghua’s words, at Fang Yuxin’s prompt, the fire was rekindled, and the glistening broth began to boil, releasing an even stronger aroma. Stimulated by the smell and seeing Fang Yuxin enjoying a piece of cooked beef, their appetites suddenly returned, and their stomachs growled with hunger.

As they cooked their food, Fang Yuxin asked, "You’ve all heard what Zhou Fanghua said. What are your thoughts?" She directed her gaze to Chen Qiao and the six others.

Clearly, she was asking them.

Chen Qiao and his group had taken a Blood Oath and had now grown strong. It would be ideal if they could stick together, but she wouldn’t force them if they didn’t want to leave the Safe Zone.

After all, with the Blood Oath in place, they couldn’t betray her.

Initially, she hadn’t planned to leave Market, knowing well what would happen next from her past life where she had stayed until her death. Yet, her marriage issue with Qiu Yiming remained a hassle, and leaving might be a better choice if she wanted to avoid further entanglement.

Though they were few in number and leaving posed great dangers, a small group wasn’t necessarily a disadvantage. Larger groups drew more attention and attracted zombies, but a small group, especially when using Concealing Talismans to hide their presence, was much less noticeable! (To be continued.
