Chapter 1: 001 Return to Before the Apocalypse Chapter 1: 001 Return to Before the Apocalypse Fang Yuxin lay on the ground, struggling to get up, but her limbs were all broken; her struggles only added to her pain. With each struggle, a heart-wrenching pain radiated from her wounds.
Fang Mengyao slowly walked up to her, holding a black Miao Saber, the one she had snatched from Yuxin’s hand. The blade was still smeared with her blood!
Fang Yuxin tried to retreat, but her broken arms and legs were powerless. She grunted, then bit her lip hard and looked coldly at Fang Mengyao. Mengyao had rubbed perfume on herself, and the combined scent with the rot on the ground created an odd and unpleasant smell.
She approached Fang Yuxin, looking down at her as she gasped for air, and said proudly, “Fang Yuxin, today is your day to die!” The moment she finished speaking, Fang Mengyao seemingly casually stepped on Yuxin’s injured wrist and ground her heel into it.
Fang Yuxin suppressed the urge to scream, her face contorting with intense pain as she gasped, defiantly glaring at Fang Mengyao, “Fang Mengyao? Why are you doing this to me?”
The question seemed to hit a nerve in Mengyao; she almost roared, “Why? Have you not hurt me enough, Fang Yuxin? You are the darling of the Fang Family, while I can only be the illegitimate daughter hidden away! Why? You don’t even have superpowers, and if you hadn’t always seduced Yiming, how could he have remained so fixated on you? Fang Yuxin! I knew you could never stand to see me happy, always wanting to compete with me for everything!”
Yuxin looked on incredulously, never imagining Mengyao would think this way! Qiu Yiming had been her fiancé, but since the apocalypse had chosen Mengyao, a superpower user, over her and they had broken up, they were now strangers. When had she seduced Qiu Yiming? So she said coldly, “You’re insane, Fang Mengyao! Yiming and I broke up a long time ago, when have I ever competed with you? Your mother drugged my father and secretly gave birth to you; what does that have to do with me?”
At this, Mengyao became even more agitated, “Shut up! My mother and your father were truly in love! It was your mother who had no shame, clinging on and refusing to leave, forcing them to split!”
Only now did Fang Yuxin realize that Fang Mengyao had always been so delusional. She looked at Mengyao mockingly, “Fang Mengyao, you’re nothing but a madwoman!”
Stung by her words, Mengyao pressed down harder with her foot. She was wearing flat leather boots with hard soles, which caused Yuxin to break out in a cold sweat from the pain. Hearing Yuxin’s stifled groan, Mengyao spoke with satisfaction, “Do you think you’re still the esteemed Miss Fang Family? Look at you now, so pitiful, your limbs all broken, helpless. Feels good, doesn’t it? Remember this bracelet? Daddy picked it out just for you, but you didn’t want it, and it ended up with me. Let me tell you, it’s quite a treasure.”
Yuxin looked at her in disbelief, “Fang Mengyao!”
Mengyao’s triumph grew, “Don’t get excited, I haven’t finished yet. Don’t you want to know why you’re not a superpower user, but just an Ordinary Person? Because… I added Suppressant to your food, surprised? Oh, and one more thing. Are you curious how your brother died? Speaking of which, his death was really tragic, devoured alive by zombies. It was nothing short of a slow, painful death. But rest assured, you will soon experience his agony.”
Yuxin’s face twisted violently, her entire body shaking with rage, “Fang—Mengyao! Are you even human? How have my brother and I ever wronged you to make you hate us so much?”
Mengyao laughed coldly, “Your mere existence causes me the greatest harm! Especially you, Fang Yuxin! If it weren’t for Yiming’s lingering thoughts about you, I wouldn’t want to dirty my hands by killing you so soon. Oh, and I just remembered something about your stuffed cat, Angela; I particularly dislike it! Just an animal strutting around all arrogant!”
Yuxin’s face grew even uglier, “You killed it?”
Mengyao said smugly, “It’s just an animal; is it worth getting so worked up? I didn’t kill it. I just clipped its claws and tossed it in the trash. Though, there are quite a few stray dogs around that area.”
Yuxin began to struggle more violently, ignoring the excruciating pain from her wounds, “Fang—Mengyao! Don’t be too proud! Those who do too much evil will destroy themselves, and your end will be no better than mine!”
