Seduce The Villainess (GL)

(Xyrean Province- Inner Region)

(Unknown Location- Abandoned Ghost Town)

Qin Lan furrowed her brows as her finger sank straight into the road as if it were butter. What had just happened made no sense…

Roads were made from asphalt and her finger should not have been able to sink into such a solid material.

Wait… what was going on?

"Eve… come check this out…" Qin Lan softly whispered as she showed the zombie empress the strange phenomenon.

Eve was also puzzled and used her black claws to poke at the ground. Her black claws sunk into the road quite easily.

She kept going until her hand itself disappeared into the ground.

The zombie empress withdrew her palm and discovered that the tips of her black claws had been slightly dissolved.

Night had fallen and the only source of light came from the full moon hanging in the sky. The buildings surrounding either side of the road suddenly appeared far more menacing.

Qin Lan could have sworn that some of the buildings appeared to have moved slightly closer to the road as if they were capable of walking.

She reached for the gun strapped to her upper thigh and flicked the safety cap off.

There was definitely someone or rather… something responsible for what was going on.

Qin Lan closed her eyes as she could feel the warm feeling in her chest gradually get hotter and hotter.

Black threads flowed out her mind and searched for any minds nearby which they could burrow into.

Qin Lan intentionally avoided the two young girls sitting down in the car and for some reason her threads completely bypassed Eve as well.

Perhaps it was because she was a zombie, but Qin Lan got the feeling that her ability would not work on Eve.

The black threads flowing out of her mind entered every house within a five-kilometer radius of her location but found no minds to corrupt.

Qin Lan frowned slightly and deactivated her ability just as she felt the urge to turn Gong Li and Liu Yifei into playthings.

She took in a few deep breaths and then gently exhaled. Qin Lan focused on her breathing until the restless thoughts in her mind gradually calmed down.

"There are only two possibilities," Qin Lan told Eve as she held up two fingers.

"The first is that there is a mutated animal nearby and the second is that this is the work of a mutated plant…"

Eve nodded and a thoughtful expression flashed across her face.

She had constantly been sniffing the air for any unknown scents but there was one place where her sense of smell would be useless.

If the enemy was hidden underground…

Qin Lan didn't notice Eve's strange expression as she removed the gas lid on the car and lifted up the container to the open hole.

She poured the gas stored in the container into the hole which took around a minute until the container was completely empty.

A cold breeze brushed against her face and a warm hand wiped the sweat that was beginning to form on her brow.

"Thanks Eve," Qin Lan gently whispered as she gazed at the beautiful woman with affection evident in her gaze.

Eve smiled sweetly and then knelt down on the ground. Once again, she pushed her hand into the road and her palm sunk into the asphalt.

Qin Lan watched curiously since she wasn't sure what Eve was hoping to accomplish.

Eve remained frozen in place for a few minutes and then slowly withdrew her hand.

It was a horrific sight.

The flesh on her fingers had been melted away to reveal skeleton digits with thin pieces of nerves and muscle tissue still attached.

Eve's facial expression did not change as if she could not feel her injuries.

Qin Lan rushed over in concern, but Eve raised up her hand and told her to stay back for now.

The zombie empress took two large sniffs of her palm and a satisfied smirk flashed across her face.

Found you…

"What do you think you're doing?" Qin Lan's panicked voice interrupted Eve's thoughts.

The young woman approached the zombie empress and carefully lifted up her injured palm by her lower arm.

"You need medical treatment right now!" Qin Lan insisted fiercely.

Her harsh tone did little to mask the tremor in her voice as she looked at Eve's injury.

There was a part of her that felt a great deal of pain as she saw Eve's hand.

"I'm okay… I'm okay… see… it's gone now…" Eve gently comforted her favourite human as the flesh began to grow back to cover her exposed fingers.

Qin Lan did not smile, and she kept a careful watch on Eve's hand to make sure that she was recovering as normal.

Even though the logical part of her knew that Eve possessed regenerative abilities, Qin Lan could not stop these feelings of concern and worry from surfacing in her heart.

She didn't want to see Eve get hurt for any reason…

"Don't do that ever again…" Qin Lan fiercely warned as she lightly touched Eve's fingers after they had fully healed.

"I won't," Eve promised as she tilted her head down and captured her favourite human's lips in a soft lingering kiss that was full of passion.

"I found the location of our enemy but next time I'll let you know in advance what I'm going to do so you don't get worried…" Eve said solemnly as she gazed into Qin Lan's eyes.

The zombie empress sniffed the air and pointed in a certain direction. The source of the scent came from a building several streets ahead.

Qin Lan looked in the direction where Eve's fingers were pointing and saw a run-down shop with a wooden door that was barely hanging on its hinges.

The interior of the shop was full of darkness like the mouth of a beast that would devour its prey until there was no life left in its eyes.

There was something about the building that unnerved Qin Lan. She felt as though every instinct in her body was screaming to stay away before it was too late.
