This was the first time Song’s mother saw such a full expression of emotion on Song Wenwen’s face, which was covered in decayed flesh.

Even an aggrieved expression made her extremely excited.

This meant that her daughter would get better and better.

Song’s mother really wanted to see Song Wenwen become as beautiful and graceful as she was before.

Xiao Lan Zombie did not look at Song’s mother, nor did she pay attention to others, but only looked at Bai Xiqin, with eyes so rotten they were almost weeping.

Xiao Lan Zombie really wanted to rush toward Bai Xiqin, arms outstretched...

Not to eat Bai Xiqin, but as an instinctive urge.

She didn’t know what a hug was, she only knew she wanted to be closer to Bai Xiqin.

Perhaps it was the particularly pleasant smell from Bai Xiqin, or maybe it was because she was given many beautiful dresses, or perhaps it was because Zhang Yiming had given her a strict order to protect Bai Xiqin.

In any case, Xiao Lan Zombie looked at Bai Xiqin with deep grievance and longing in her eyes.

Perhaps it was a long-awaited reunion, and Xiao Lan Zombie just wanted to be a little closer to Bai Xiqin.

But she didn’t dare, because her king forbade it.

From the moment she met Bai Xiqin, the king’s orders had already been given.

She couldn’t get close to her, couldn’t bite her...

Xiao Lan Zombie had always followed the king’s orders, but the more time she spent with Bai Xiqin, the more she wanted to get closer to her. Her scent was pleasant, and the dresses she gave were beautiful.

How could she not want to get closer!

"Long time no see, how have you been?"

Bai Xiqin greeted Xiao Lan Zombie as if she had met a normal human friend.

Immediately, she noticed Xiao Lan Zombie’s attire, still in a blue dress, but not one she had previously given her.

Although black blood occasionally seeped from her face, Xiao Lan Zombie’s dress was still very clean.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw inside Xiao Lan Zombie’s room, where there was only the black blood left by Xiao Lan Zombie’s earlier collision with the door, while the other parts remained very clean.

"Roar――"

Xiao Lan Zombie could not speak, only replacing her response with a roar, and she completely did not understand what Bai Xiqin’s words meant.

It was just an instinctive feeling that she should reply.

When Xiao Lan Zombie roared, her mouth opened wide, tearing the decayed flesh at the corners, and black blood flowed down her cheeks and neck.

The pitch-black blood showed no sign of vitality, only a decaying aura.

"Wenwen, come, tilt your head this way."

Song’s mother saw the blood flowing down Xiao Lan Zombie’s face and quickly took out a fairly thick towel.

She didn’t know when she had put on gloves.

She carefully pushed Xiao Lan Zombie’s head to the side, and gently dabbed the white towel into the cracks of the decayed flesh.

She didn’t dare to wipe, because the decayed flesh would fall off easily, and if she wiped, it would leave pits of decayed flesh on Song Wenwen’s face.

The white towel was quickly soaked with black blood, as if Xiao Lan Zombie could never run out of that black blood.

After wiping the black blood from Song Wenwen’s face, Song’s mother put the blackened towel into a box specially used for Song Wenwen’s clothes.

Besides the many towels stained with black blood, the box also contained many dresses.

All were blue dresses, stained with quite a bit of black blood, looking somewhat wasteful.

The box was almost full, and Song’s mother, wearing gloves, threw everything in the box into the washing machine that was solely for washing Song Wenwen’s clothes.

The washing machine hummed softly, and from the outside, one could see the water inside turning pitch black, thick like ink.

After putting the items into the washing machine, Song’s mother once again grabbed a clean white towel, ready to help Song Wenwen wipe the black blood oozing from her decayed flesh at any moment.

Song Wenwen had a cleanliness obsession.

So Song’s mother truly treated her like the Wenwen from before.

Even though she had no self-awareness, Song’s mother couldn’t bear to let Song Wenwen be dirty.

Her daughter should be so beautiful.

Even having turned into a zombie, Song’s mother truly treated Song Wenwen as human.

She tirelessly cleaned up the black blood that Song Wenwen left on the floor and even sprayed Song Wenwen’s favorite perfume on her.

When Song’s mother was tidying Song Wenwen’s clothes and wiping her black blood, Song Wenwen always wore a blank expression.

There was no emotional fluctuation towards Song’s mother’s actions, and her eyes merely looked at Bai Xiqin.

To her, the Song Family was just inedible flesh!

Aside from that, there were no other feelings.

"Wenwen, come over here."

Seeing Song Wenwen standing still, and Song Hongfei looking at her dotingly, Bai Xiqin guided Song Wenwen over to Song Hongfei.

Song Hongfei washed his hands clean and also put on white gloves.

"Wenwen, what do you want to eat today? Lamb ribs or chicken?"

Song Hongfei gently tidied Song Wenwen’s slightly messy long hair.

Song Wenwen’s hair was very long but looked fluffy, unlike other zombies whose hair would be caked with black blood.

It seemed that Song Wenwen’s hair was also frequently groomed.

Song Wenwen stood still, indifferent to Song Hongfei’s words.

She had always been like this, not responding to the Song Family’s words. Whether it was because she didn’t understand or didn’t care to respond to humans was unknown.

"Xiao Lan, do you like lamb ribs or chicken?"

Bai Xiqin pointed to the two plates on the kitchen table.

One plate was piled with lots of chicken, while the other contained lamb that Song Ning had just carved from a mutant sheep, all bloody.

These were prepared for Song Wenwen; Song Hongfei asked just to communicate more with Song Wenwen, hoping she would become increasingly self-aware.

Unfortunately, this method was too slow, so slow that Song Wenwen’s progress was hardly noticeable.

"Roar――"

Just when Song Hongfei thought Song Wenwen would also ignore Bai Xiqin, Song Wenwen suddenly let out a low roar.

Song Hongfei saw Song Wenwen’s rotten eyes move and stare fixedly at the plate of fresh lamb.

The chicken was yesterday’s leftovers, no longer fresh, but the lamb had been obtained just that day.

"Wenwen, do you want to eat lamb?"

Song Hongfei looked at Song Wenwen with excitement, desperately hoping to see her nod and say yes.

Unfortunately, Song Wenwen ignored him, only staring at the lamb.

"Xiao Lan, do you want to eat lamb? Tell your mom and dad what you want, and they’ll give it to you!" Bai Xiqin gently said in Xiao Lan Zombie’s ear.

Xiao Lan Zombie slightly moved, glanced at Bai Xiqin, and silently opened and closed her mouth.

"These are your parents. Just tell them what you want, and they will always support you."

Bai Xiqin lightly patted Song Wenwen’s shoulder, her tone gentle, patiently repeating her previous words.

"Roar――"

Xiao Lan Zombie slowly turned her stiff neck, letting out a low growl at Song Hongfei.

It wasn’t a roar to devour, but a roar with the tone of normal speech, devoid of any bloodthirsty fury.

Song Hongfei beamed, quickly bringing over the blood-dripping lamb, "Wenwen, how about calling me dad? I’ll give it to you if you do!"

"Roar!"

Song Wenwen roared once more at Song Hongfei, this time with a tinge of anger in her roar.

"Here you go!"

Song Hongfei’s smile widened, quickly moving the lamb closer to Xiao Lan Zombie’s mouth.

He felt like he was communicating with his daughter.

Bai Xiqin: ...

The hostility emanating from Xiao Lan Zombie a moment ago was completely ignored by Song Hongfei.
