Before he died, the old man was always worrying, and nagging at her, “Ah Ming’s life was traded for by me, Xia, I’m an old man, I can’t do anything… but being able to trade my life for someone to protect you, is worth it…”
“Don’t mention me in the future… don’t mention that I’ve died in front of Ah Ming. Even if people owe us a favor, talking excessively will only bring us trouble, do you understand?
The old man said these words with great difficulty.
He was frail and old, and not only was he unable to protect his granddaughter, he was a burden to her. Thus, he was willing to use his life to trade for someone else’s in order to protect his granddaughter.
However, people’s hearts were unpredictable. Even if he gave up his life, he could not guarantee that no one would bully his granddaughter in the future…
But what else could he do?
When the old man died, he had tears in his eyes, desperate, but kind, his eyes fixed on his favorite granddaughter.
At the time, the original owner of this body nodded at his words while crying.
She understood her grandfather’s intentions.
Therefore, she was not arrogant, and followed Lu Ming even though she was sad. She cherished the protection her grandfather gave his life for, and vowed to live well.
In the beginning, Lu Ming indeed treated her well.
He was good looking, smart, and physically fit. He also awakened his spiritual power—his power was said to be the highest tier possible.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the pride of heaven.
By following him, the original owner would never suffer great harm.
The original owner continued to live, never mentioning her grandfather’s kindness. She took care of those in the team and contributed what she could, she never freeloaded.
The team was harmonious.
However, it all changed.
The team of survivors picked up a woman.
She was beautiful, her eyes slightly raised, lashes long and alluring.
The men in the team fell to her charms one by one. Even the most rational one, Lu Ming, was no exception.
The woman had no powers, but she was well protected. Even though clean water was scarce in Doomsday World, she would bathe twice a day, and coquettishly ask the team to go a long way to get new clothes in places like abandoned malls.
She only wore each piece of clothing once, and threw them away after she was done without a trace of regret, as if she did not understand how to cherish things.
The two women in the team were as different as the sky and the earth. If it were someone else, they might have been pissed off, but the original owner did not complain at all.
She just needed to follow her grandfather’s wish and live well.
She did not care about anything else.
The other woman would often flaunt her belongings in front of the original owner. After a long time of receiving no response, her humiliation turned into anger. When the rest of the team was away, she would pinch and hit the original owner of the body, physically and verbally abusing her.
The original owner put up with it a few times, and finally told Lu Ming how she was being abused.
After that, she stepped into hell on earth.
Lu Ming did not help her at all. Even when the other team members found out, they merely laughed and called the original owner useless, and tried to coax and flatter the other woman.
After seeing this response, the other woman did not have to hide it from the other team members anymore. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would just vent it on the original owner.
Abusing the original owner seemed to become their source of entertainment.
Lu Ming had no reaction to any of this.
Afterwards, the woman delightfully told the original owner.
Turns out, she did have an ability. Her power was to charm others, making them fall for her easily.
If the target had a strong will and was not charmed, getting away was not difficult. Even so, they were all trapped by her charm.
The owner was shocked.
She understood everything, but she did not feel angry or wronged, only that…
It seemed a bit ridiculous.
