Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse - Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Xuanyuan Yi
Long legs, full breasts, curvy hips, perky butt, red lips, …, all wrapped in the purest white clothes and a silver mask.

Xuanyuan Yi felt like he encountered a hurricane.

His heart rate accelerated, his eyes blurred, and his mouth went dry.

For the first time in his life, the playboy didn’t know what to say or how to act.

Unfortunately, his reaction had nothing to do with Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan.

After reaching the door, they walked around the group of seven and decisively left the mission hall.

Xuanyuan Yi only woke up at this time.

“Hurry up and find out who she is.” He roared, glaring at the man standing next to him.

The man was startled.

“Who?” He asked in a confused voice.

“The woman in white. The one who just left the hall. I want to find out everything about her.” Xuanyuan Yi said and the man couldn’t help but be surprised.

The man was Song Feng.

He and Xuanyuan Yi were childhood friends.

However, because the Xuanyuan family was more prominent than the Song family, the relationship between the two people was more like boss and subordinate instead of childhood friends.

That said, the two had always been together but this was the first time that Song Feng saw Xuanyuan Yi lose his composure to such a degree.

‘It’s going to be troublesome.’ He thought.

After all, there was a man beside the woman and from their interactions, the two were not blood-related or in a platonic relationship.

But this had nothing to do with him!

Thinking this way, Song Feng walked to the counter where Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu had just registered their tasks.

“Excuse me, do you know the woman in white?” He asked.

Hearing the question, the clerk hesitated and didn’t want to say anything.

Unfortunately, she was just a little clerk and Song Feng was the deputy leader of team Overlord.

“Do you know her or not?” Song Feng asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.

Although the clerk didn’t want to say anything, she didn’t want to lose her job.

In the end, she could only choose herself and told everything she knew about Qin Wu.

“She is the deputy captain of team Legends and the man with her is the captain.” The clerk started and quickly continued.

“This was their second time coming to the mission hall but you can’t underestimate them. During their first visit, they accepted thirteen tasks and completed all of them within half a month. As a result, team Legends directly upgraded from rank F to rank C.”

After saying that, the clerk sighed in admiration before continuing.

“They just took another ten tasks.”

“What is the woman’s name? What does she look like?”

The clerk shook her head when she heard the questions.

“They always wear masks so I have never seen their faces. As for their names, …., I don’t know but it’s easy to find out from the team registration hall.”

“Good.” Song Feng nodded and stuffed two level one crystal cores into the woman’s hand.

“Thank you.” The clerk smiled and immediately took the crystal cores.

When Song Feng was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and turned around.

“Which tasks did they take?” He asked.

Soon after, he walked to Xuanyuan Yi with an A4 paper in his right hand.

“Who is she?” Xuanyuan Yi asked in an eager voice.

“I don’t know her name but it’s easy to find out.”

After that, Song Feng told Xuanyuan Yi everything she knew about Qin Wu and team Legends.

“Deputy captain…” Xuanyuan Yi muttered, his lips curled in a smile.

“We will also accept the Pine Fresh task.” He eventually said, startling Song Feng and his other teammates.

“This…, captain…” One of the teammates looked at Xuanyuan Yi in disbelief.

Team Overlord had previously considered the Pine Fresh task.

However, they decided against it because the task was risky and there were too many unknowns.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Yi changed his mind because of a random woman!

This was hard to accept and the teammates couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

“We are the first ranked team in the base.” Xuanyuan Yi stated in an arrogant voice.

“Could it be that we can’t handle a task that a rank C team feels qualified to handle?”

The team fell silent when they heard that.

Yes, they were the first ranked team and had the dignity of being overlords.

How could they allow a small unknown team to suddenly climb over their heads?

After figuring it out, the team no longer cared about risks and unknown factors.

All they wanted was to accept the task and to complete it beautifully so that everyone could see what team Overlord was capable of.

How dare a small team try to grab their spot light?

With that in mind, the team urged Xuanyuan Yi to accept the task and the man didn’t hesitate.

Soon after, team overlord accepted the Pine Fresh task and three other tasks that could be completed in tandem.

While Xuanyuan Yi was registering the tasks, Song Feng went to the team registration hall and soon returned with an A4 paper.

“This is team Legends information.” He said, giving the paper to Xuanyuan Yi.

A moment later, Xuanyuan Yi smiled, his thumb caressing the short name on the second row.

“Qin Wu.” He muttered.

‘I wonder which Wu it is. Is it the Wu of dancing? Or the Wu of five? Or even the Wu of martial? No…, it’s definitely the Wu of charming.’ The man decided and his heart couldn’t help but feel itchy.

After knowing the name, he was eager to see the woman’s face.

However, he and Qin Wu were strangers who had nothing to do with each other.

Unless he captured her and forcibly removed her mask, there was no good way to see her face for the time being.

“Captain…” Song Feng suddenly called with a hesitant face.

“What is it?” Xuanyuan Yi questioned, feeling a little irritated that Song Feng interrupted his thoughts about Qin Wu.

“This team is not simple.”

“What do you mean?”

“If I am not mistaken, Lu Hao is the third son of the Lu family, Xu Fei is the movie emperor and also the second son of the Xu family. Lin Rongrong is the eldest daughter of the Lin family but unfortunately…” Song Feng sighed and quickly continued.

“The Lin family has lost most of its power and is nothing to be afraid of. As for Qin Wu, I think she is the fake daughter of the Qin family.”

The fake-real daughter of the Qin family was a big scandal at the time.

Because of this, most people in the capital had heard of Qin Wu but few had ever seen her.

However, Xuanyuan Yi didn’t care if Qin Wu was the real or fake daughter of the Qin family.

All he cared about was getting her and making her his own.

“What about the man?” He asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.

For some reason, the man’s name made him very uncomfortable and he remembered the frustrating days before the apocalypse.

However, Xuanyuan Yi didn’t want to believe it was the same person he was thinking about.

Unfortunately, wishes were not horses.

“It’s that person.” Song Feng said and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Mo Chenxuan was the legendary ‘other people’s child’.

Because of Mo Chenxuan’s extraordinary existence, Song Feng, Xuanyuan Yi, and other young masters of their generation were so pressured that they could barely raise their heads.

“How do you know?” Xuanyuan Yi asked.

He hoped it was just a similar name but his heart was already sinking.

If his love rival was someone else, Xuanyuan Yi wouldn’t feel any pressure.

After all, he was the most powerful superpower in the base and his family basically ruled the base.

Unfortunately, his love rival was Mo Chenxuan; also known as the bane of his existence.

No matter how accomplished Xuanyuan Yi was, he always felt that he was shorter than Mo Chenxuan.

“Damned it.” He cursed with a crazy look in his eyes.

He had occasionally thought of Mo Chenxuan since the apocalypse began.

However, since the man wasn’t famous, Xuanyuan Yi assumed he was dead, trapped in another city, or ordinary.

Unexpectedly, just when he was beginning to relax, the dark cloud had already began gathering above his head.

‘Mo Chenxuan! Why do you always have to get in my way?’ He angrily thought.

At first, he didn’t take the achievements of team Legends to heart.

However, now that he knew that the team’s captain was Mo Chenxuan, the meaning of the achievements changed.

Xuanyuan Yi suddenly felt that a terrible predator was at his heel, threatening to overwhelm him and once again stand at the top of the food chain.

‘No. I won’t let it happen.’ Xuanyuan Yi thought, his face twisted into a hideous mask.

‘I will never let him suppress my light again.’
