Cultivator in the Last Days-Chapter 204: “…”

What Lian Lei Xu’s brother didn’t know was that Yu Shi Lan and Mu Ting Ye were both outside of the Lian Family Residence. Mu Ting Ye even told Yu Shi Lan about his favorite watching spot: on top of the tree.

Yu Shi Lan: "..."

"It seems that the Lian Family agreed with the officials experimenting on Lian Lei Xu’s body," Mu Ting Ye commented.

"Is it even possible?" Yu Shi Lan was confused.

Didn’t they need the person themselves to agree?

"Lian Lei Xu is still a minor, so as long as his guardian agree, it’s not impossible to proceed," Mu Ting Ye replied.

Yu Shi Lan was stunned and then she thought about her foster parents. In her previous life, many things that she didn’t want to do was still pushed forward and their reason has always been because they were her parents.

Just because they were her parents, they could do these?

If it was out of care and because they wanted the best for their children, Yu Shi Lan could understand why some parents would force some things on their children.

But if it was something like forced human experimentation...

Or even forced marriage.

Heh.

Yu Shi Lan’s eyes turned cold.

She remembered how her foster parents wanted to matchmake her to get married after she turned 18 in order to keep her father’s pension firmly in their hand. After all, as long as they have an agreement with her ’future husband’ they would be able to get it.

And Yu Shi Lan would never be able to get away.

Unfortunately, the attack of the demonic beasts shattered their dream and the base was destroyed. No one had time to care about these things because they had to leave the base and went to other places.

’No, don’t think about it again.’

Yu Shi Lan felt that she would drown in hatred if she continued to think about the things that her foster parents did in her previous life. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Now they have died.

No one else had such power over her...

And Yu Shi Lan never cared about the pension her father left for her anymore. At this point of time, what was the use of that pension?

She didn’t need it.

*rustle*

Lian Lei Xu’s brother came out of the house, not wanting to bother with the doctors and other researchers. Even Lian Lei Xu’s father and mother were still discussing about the benefit that they could receive if they handed Lian Lei Xu’s body over for autopsy.

It seemed that the officials also wanted to see if the energy could still have effect on corpses.

This meant that there would be more benefits for the Lian Family.

But it’s the kind of benefit that was built on top of someone else’s life.

Lian Lei Xu’s brother knew that the Lian Family is a business family, a profit seeking family that cared for nothing but the benefit that they could have. Even if it meant exploiting other people, the Lian Family would still do it.

But this is the first time he saw such a blatant use of a person’s life.

To the point that even after his death, Lian Lei Xu’s body was still being coveted away by others.

How frustrating.

"Is that Lian Lei Xu’s brother?" Yu Shi Lan asked. She had never met with the other party before, so she was not entirely sure.

"Yes." Mu Ting Ye nodded and then added something, "He’s also close to my brother’s fiancée and he’s definitely one of the few people whom I disliked."

Yu Shi Lan nodded.

"You have brother complex."

"No, I don’t!" Mu Ting Ye protested.

He did care for Mu Ting Yu, but it didn’t reach the level of brother complex!

Yu Shi Lan chuckled when she saw Mu Ting Ye looked like a cat whose tail has been stepped.

"Alright, alright, you’re not~."

"Hmph." Mu Ting Ye snorted. How could he not see that Yu Shi Lan didn’t really mean what she said?

She’s still teasing him.

But it was indeed not the time to care about this.

"What does Lian Lei Xu’s brother wants to do?" Yu Shi Lan asked curiously.

They saw Lian Lei Xu’s brother came out and took out a cigarette while watching the others negotiating. It was obvious that Lian Lei Xu’s brother didn’t want to participate in this matter.

"Leave him be." Mu Ting Ye only glanced once and then jumped down. "There’s nothing fun here."

Yu Shi Lan pursed her lips.

She could still hear the sound of Lian Lei Xu’s father and mother arguing even from outside. Even though the words were not that clear, she faintly heard how Lian Lei Xu’s father was asking for more compensation.

This is the family that Lian Lei Xu have?

Yu Shi Lan was not that surprised.

With how Lian Lei Xu disregard human life in the past, Yu Shi Lan felt that he should have gained that trait from his own family.

The Lian Family was really cold blooded.

"I still have something to do," Yu Shi Lan said as she took out the flag that she had prepared. Before coming to the Lian Family Residence, she went to the market and traded some water to buy a few chopsticks and cloths. Since she only needed small cloths, the price was not that expensive.

As for why water was still valued even in this cold weather and snow outside...

It was because the authorities told them not to drink the snow for the time being until they could confirm the water is safe.

So some people would rather buy water than drink water from the snow in fear they would get sick.

"Flags?" Mu Ting Ye was confused by Yu Shi Lan’s action and then asked, "What do you want to do?"

Yu Shi Lan smiled and then started to walk around the Lian Family Residence. The Lian Family Residence itself was not very big and there were not many guards outside.
