Chapter 42: Like a Dream, Eyes Wide Open in Death 

Chapter 42: Like a Dream, Eyes Wide Open in Death 

A moment later.

Chen Ye lifted the evolved zombie with one hand.

Like lifting a little chick.

The evolved zombie looked miserable, covered in wounds, with limp arms and legs

, as soft as noodles. It was evident that Chen Ye had broken its limbs, rendering it completely incapacitated.

"Thud!"

Chen Ye threw the evolved zombie on the ground in front of Tang Zichen, dusted off his hands, and chuckled, "Done, Class Monitor, sorry to keep you waiting."

Tang Zichen: "..."

A deadly crisis for the newcomers.

Yet, Chen Ye effortlessly resolved it!

From the moment he intervened to when he finished off all the zombies, it took only about ten minutes.

It was like a dream come true...

Chen Ye was truly a force to be reckoned with; he could scare people with just one move!

Tang Zichen looked deeply at Chen Ye, not knowing what to say.

Originally, she formed a team with Chen Ye to repay President Chen's kindness and to achieve good results in the secret realm with Chen Ye's help.

Unexpectedly, she almost got Chen Ye in trouble.

Even more unexpectedly, he didn't need her help at all. When it came down to it, it was Chen Ye who led the way.

So, was she the clown after all?

"Huh?"

Chen Ye suddenly looked surprised at the Woguo youth on the ground. "You're still not dead?"

Indeed.

The Woguo youth hadn't died yet. He lay on the ground, pressing tightly against the major artery in his neck to slow down blood loss, still clinging to life.

Chen Ye couldn't help but marvel at the resilience of this kid!

His will to survive was strong.

But not for long.

Under the Woguo youth's neck, blood had already stained the ground red, his face as pale as paper. His life had already begun its final countdown.

After all, he had injured a major artery, and even if the injury wasn't severe, it wasn't something he could stop with his hands alone.

At this moment.

The Woguo youth's eyes were fixed on Chen Ye, filled not only with shock but also with resentment towards him.

Chen Ye understood the Woguo youth's gaze and chuckled, "Are you going to curse me for having the ability but not using it earlier? You had the strength, yet you waited until everyone was dead before coming out?"

"Actually... I did it on purpose!"

Hearts as fragile as shrimp and pork!

Shrimp and pork hearts!

The Woguo youth seemed to revive momentarily, his eyes widening, staring fiercely at Chen Ye with intense hatred, as if he wanted to devour him.

He understood Xia nationality!

That's why he hated!

Suddenly, the Woguo youth realized that even without the trouble caused by Lee Jae Yong, with Chen Ye, such a terrifying monster, their plan to assassinate Tang Zichen was destined to fail.

It was ridiculous that they thought Tang Zichen wouldn't escape this time, and that Xia would lose a genius, never to recover.

Unexpectedly, the real genius was not Tang Zichen at all!

Xia had great fortune and was blessed with talents aplenty.

Their Woguo, aspiring to swallow up Xia, was probably impossible in this lifetime...

With this thought, the Woguo youth suddenly lost heart.

The next moment.

The Woguo youth couldn't catch his breath, his pupils quickly losing focus. The hand pressing against his neck also softened and fell.

Dead...

The blood in his body was already running dry. Stimulated by Chen Ye's words, consumed by anger and impatience, he finally breathed his last.

But his eyes were still open.

This was dying without closure!

...

From then on.

The only ones left alive in the entire scene were Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.

The evolved zombie didn't count as a person.

Their gazes met.

Silence.

A wordless silence.

Tang Zichen didn't know what to say.

Everything that happened tonight had greatly shocked her, and even now, she couldn't calm her emotions.

Chen Ye felt he should say something.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke, "Class Monitor, actually, since I was young, I've felt that my body is different from normal people's. As long as I exercise every day, my strength keeps increasing..."

"Based on this phenomenon, I've also consulted a lot of information, and in the end, I can only come to a more reasonable conclusion: I was born with divine power!"

Tang Zichen finally spoke, "So, in the Hero Match tonight, you chose to match with a C-class hero because you felt that the talents of an S-class hero didn't have much effect on you? The success rate of matching with a C-class hero is close to one hundred percent, and you only needed a ticket to enter the secret realm?"

Only those who successfully matched with heroes could enter the secret realm.

Hearing Tang Zichen's words, even Chen Ye himself was stunned.

He realized what the most fatal form of imagination was.

"Class Monitor, you're really smart!"

Chen Ye bluffed without changing his expression.

It was good that Tang Zichen thought like this, saving him from racking his brains to come up with more nonsense.

Chen Ye didn't want anyone to know the secret of Saitama among the C-class heroes.

In this world.

With him as the only Demon King, that was enough!

"...Do I look like a clown just now?" Tang Zichen suddenly said self-deprecatingly.

Huh?

What did that mean?

Chen Ye was dumbfounded.

He really didn't understand women's way of thinking.

"Class Monitor, this is my biggest secret. Even my parents don't know, and I didn't intend to deceive you."

Chen Ye said calmly.

If this girl continued to be so dramatic, he would have to go over and spank her.

He could only watch when she slept every day; he had long wanted to see how it felt to spank her.

"You've lied to me more than once."

Tang Zichen looked deeply at Chen Ye.

This guy always liked teasing her and made so many suggestive jokes with her...

What a scumbag!

Then she said, "Anyway, Chen Ye, if it weren't for you tonight, I would have died. You saved me, I owe you a life! I can't repay such a great kindness, I can only..."

Chen Ye's face immediately showed anticipation, listening attentively.

According to the normal procedure, the next four words should be "offer myself to you," right?

But he waited for half a day and still didn't see the follow-up, so he looked at Tang Zichen in confusion.

He saw a cunning smile on Tang Zichen's pretty face.

Wow.

This little girl had also learned how to be mischievous!

But he had to admit, Tang Zichen's little face was really beautiful! Delicate like a work of art, even her mischievous smile had a unique charm.

"Chen Ye, whenever you encounter trouble in the future, just come to me for help. No matter what the situation is, I'll save you once!"

Tang Zichen said this very seriously.

From this, it could be seen that this girl actually had a bit of a fighting spirit.

She probably thought that when she grew up to Ms. Qin's level, she could surpass or even help Chen Ye.

Chen Ye just smiled at Tang Zichen's thoughts.

"Okay, then when I encounter trouble in the future that I can't solve, I'll come to you for help," Chen Ye said.

Tang Zichen nodded and added, "Regarding your secret, I will help you keep it."

Chen Ye believed this statement.

This girl's thought process wasn't quite like that of a normal girl, and she valued promises more than men did.

From her agreement with President Chen to lead Chen Ye in forming a team, one could see her personality.

However.

Just keeping it a secret wasn't enough.

The two of them needed to have a plausible excuse for outsiders to believe.

"Class Monitor, after we leave the secret realm, if anyone asks, I'll push everything onto you."

"In their eyes, you are the pride of heaven, and I'm just a mediocre student with a useless hero talent. Only by pushing it onto you will they believe it."
