Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 124

Chapter 124: A mother’s resentment is hard to forget
Bai Xue trembled in anger; she finally realised that she had hit an iron plate this time around. No matter how much she pretended to be pitiful, Bai Jixuan was simply a brute. He had no heart to appreciate her tears. She turned to look at Bai Meiyue, who was eating her hot meal and gulped.

With a flattering smile, she said to Bai Meiyue, “Sister Yueyue, let us in. Let’s have a good talk, alright? You really misunderstood us; we never wanted to hurt you. What happened back then—”

“There is no need to say anything,” Bai Meiyue refused to listen to Bai Xue’s patronising words. She knew very well how skilled Bai Xue was when it came to turning black into white.

She stepped forward and came to a stop in front of Bai Xue; she wanted to see if the poison that she had administered yesterday was taking effect or not. After a while, Bai Meiyue noticed that Bai Xue’s core, which was yet to be formed, was already cracked. The weak energy that was floating around Bai Xue’s core was stunted and ruined; the fluctuation was too weak to even be counted as spiritual energy.

Though Bai Meiyue was still far from surpassing the level where she would be able to see through the level of a person without using the ability detection equipment, maybe it was because she was awakened for the second time; her senses were sharper than the others.

She could easily detect what was going on with Bai Xue’s core.

A deep satisfaction filled her heart and Bai Meiyue was more than happy when she saw that the chances of Bai Xue’s awakening had been ruined. She looked at Bai Xue and Su Hu before saying in a cold voice, “Bai Xue, are you really this foolish or are you pretending to be one? Do you think that I will not kill you if you were to swagger in front of me like this?”

“Sister Yueyue, don’t be like this. We know we were wrong but —”

“Get lost!”

Though Bai Meiyue wanted to kill Bai Xue, right now wasn’t the time. She still needed to use Bai Xue to lure out that snake who hurt her son and hid back in its hole. In the past, it was Bai Xue and Su Hu who contacted that man through Chen Yuya; she was sure that once she gave birth, these two beasts would try to pull the same trick again.

After all, it was impossible for dogs to change their spots.

Of course, Bai Meiyue was also too lazy to deal with Bai Xue and Su Hu so quickly. If they died so soon, how would they ‘enjoy’ the gift that she had prepared for them? She wanted these two to be condemned in the same manner as they had once condemned her when she was pregnant and couldn’t do as much work as others.

At least she had her abilities but what about them? They had nothing.

Of course, she could also kill the two of them. But the trouble lay with Bai Feng; that man was already on the verge of awakening. If she killed Bai Xue, then Bai Meiyue was worried she would create an enemy out of Bai Feng. That man was brainwashed to the point that he didn’t even care about his own life when it came to protecting Bai Xue.

She wondered how Chu Xia would use Bai Feng if she were to kill Bai Xue now. For the time being, she needed to wait and watch. With how restless Bai Xue was, Bai Meiyue was certain that she would one day cause trouble big enough that would make Bai Feng give up on her.

But till then she had to watch this woman hop around in front of her.

Of course, Bai Meiyue also had some selfish motives. She was worried that if she killed Bai Xue now, she would have to fight with Bai Feng to death. If that happened, then the two of them would perish together. How could she be willing to do that when she was carrying Bai Cai?

Killing Bai Feng when he was weak was out of the question because she owed that man many favours.

But that didn’t mean that Bai Xue would be allowed to live. Oh no, this woman would die and she would die a slow and painful death just like her Little Cai. Only a mother who had used her blood and tears to bring her child into the world and raised him for a hundred days would understand her anger and grudge.

It didn’t matter whether Bai Feng was against it or not; Bai Xue was a danger to her son. Bai Meiyue didn’t know why Bai Qingshi and Bai Xue hated her so much but they took everything that was related to her as something that they could use or ruin.

It was as if she was an asset that they could exploit. If not for the fact that she was sure that Bai Qingshi was her father, she would have thought that they were not related to one another with how much that man hated her.

She just needed to hold on till Bai Xue contacted that man once again, and the day she did it, it would be her funeral.

“Sister—”

“Are you leaving or not?” Bai Meiyue sneered as she reached out and grasped hold of Bai Xue’s collar. “I am only giving you face because of Brother Feng, Bai Xue. I am telling you, the day he dies, it will be your family’s funeral.”

As she finished speaking, she pushed Bai Xue away as she stumbled onto the floor.

“Yueyue!” Su Hu saw Bai Xue fall and turned to glare at Bai Meiyue but the second he turned to look at Bai Meiyue, the latter raised her eyes and glared back at him.

The cold and icy murderous aura made Su Hu lower his gaze in fright.

Seeing his actions, Bai Meiyue snorted and closed the door on their faces. Yes, she said those words deliberately. She knew that after her threat, not only would Bai Xue treat Bai Feng better, but she would also make sure that the man wouldn’t die.

In this way, it could be said that she made up for some of the care that Bai Feng showed her in her past life.
