Chapter 1790 Return at the Max Level, I'll Take Care of that Sickly Person (2)

"Behave yourself," Huo Yu said.

Yu Xingxing chewed the lamb leg and swallowed it. Then, she thought of something and suddenly said, "How strange. When I saw that woman, I felt very close to her. I felt that we knew each other. By the way, she seems to know you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yu remained calm.

Over the years, Earth's environment had deteriorated rapidly and humans died one after another. The Beast Tamer Alliance sensed that an apocalypse was coming, so they established various bases. In the beginning, there were more than 3,000 bases worldwide. In just three years, there were only 2,000 bases left.

In order to survive the apocalypse, the world's various bases shared information.

As the chief weapon design engineer of the strongest base in Xia Country, many people knew him. Therefore, Huo Yu wasn't surprised to hear Yu Xingxing say that that person knew him.

However, Yu Xingxing's next words stunned Huo Yu. Yu Xingxing said, "She asked me to tell you something. She said that it's a good deal to pretend to be drunk in exchange for a lifetime of happiness." With that, Yu Xingxing asked Huo Yu, "What does she mean?"

Huo Yu didn't say anything. After eating a few mouthfuls of lamb leg, he stood up and asked Yu Xingxing, "Where is she?"

When Yu Xingxing saw Huo Yu's reaction, she knew that there was something fishy about the woman. She said, "She's in Underground Prison No. 4."

"Come with me."

Pretending to be drunk in exchange for a lifetime of happiness was a childish thing that Huo Yu had done in order to woo Yu Xingxing in the early years. Very few people knew about this, and only his closest buddy knew. But that buddy was long dead. Could that woman be his closest buddy's girlfriend?

If the other party was really his buddy's former lover, he should take care of her.

As the chief engineer, Huo Yu had permission to go anywhere in the entire base.

After he brought Yu Xingxing to Prison No. 4, he sized up the woman inside through the fence. Just as Yu Xingxing had said, she was a very beautiful woman. She was wearing a simple black dress with a strap and her waist-length wavy hair was draped over her graceful figure.

The woman's skin was extremely fair and had charming almond-shaped eyes, but there were tears in them. The way she looked at the couple was like…

It was like the way a child would gaze at her parents.

As Huo Yu stared into those teary eyes, he had a strange thought. It was as if they were supposed to know each other and were very close.

How freaky.

Huo Yu asked Yu Huang, "What's your name?"

Yu Huang didn't answer, but stared at the golden ring on Huo Yu and Yu Xingxing's ring fingers in a daze. There were two lines on the ring, one white and one black. Huo Yu was that white line, and Yu Xingxing was that black line. Their lives were intertwined, like that line.

"Speak!" Huo Yu was impatient.

Only then did Yu Huang introduce herself, "My name is Yu Huang."

When they heard this, the feeling that they knew each other intensified.

How strange.

Huo Yu and Yu Xingxing exchanged looks warily.

"Who exactly are you?" Yu Xingxing crossed her arms and stared at Yu Huang with killing intent.

As Yu Huang stared at Yu Xingxing in a daze, the scene of her personally pulling out her gun and shooting her mother in her previous life appeared in her mind again. Yu Huang couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath. Then, she looked up at Huo Yu and his wife and said quickly yet clearly, "You guys have to listen carefully to what I'm going to say next."

Just as Huo Yu was about to frown, he heard Yu Huang say, "I'm… a reborn person and your adopted daughter. In my previous life, it was on this day that my mother went out to look for supplies and met me in the forest when I was a baby. You guys adopted me and named me Yu Huang…"

Hearing Yu Huang's words, Huo Yu and Yu Xingxing's first reaction was incredulity.

"Where did this lunatic come from?!" Yu Xingxing pulled out her gun and aimed it at Yu Huang. Just as she was about to press the trigger, Yu Huang suddenly said to Yu Xingxing, "When you were six years old, you were molested by your grandfather in the countryside!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xingxing's hand trembled and her pupils dilated.

Huo Yu looked at Yu Xingxing for confirmation, his eyes filled with shock.

Seeing Yu Xingxing's quivering pupils, Huo Yu knew that what this girl said was true.

However, Yu Xingxing had never revealed this to him.

"Xingxing, is what she said true?" Huo Yu asked Yu Xingxing.

Yu Xingxing's expression turned ugly. She bit her lip and thought for a moment before asking Yu Huang, "How do you know?"

When Yu Xingxing was six years old, her parents sent her to her grandfather's house for a few days during summer break.
