Rebirth Of The Apocalypse Queen: On Your Knees, Young Emperor! Chapter 626 - Cave, Queen (8)

Chapter 626 - Cave, Queen (8)

Qin Yi's facial features were as beautiful as a painting and her tone very gentle, but at this moment, the people in the ghost village only felt fear.
They knew that this youth meant what he said.
"Everyone retreat."
The ghost-faced old man's heart softened when he looked at the queen sobbing; his face darkened, and he didn't let anybody get close to Qin Yi.
Old Han and the others were reluctant. Being threatened by their food this way, no one was happy.
But the queen was now in Qin Yi's hands, and no matter how unwilling they were, they didn't dare go forward.
That was the queen ah. It was their faith, and if it weren't for the Queen, they would have starved to death or been killed by others.
Qin Yi could see the perseverance in the ghost-faced old man's eyes—could it be that ghost-faced and the queen had some sort of relationship?
That tenderness was the kind of love given from an elder to the younger generation. It was an affection that could never be parted with.
Qin Yi was still thinking about it in her head when the queen herself confessed, "Daddy, save me! This person is a demon, her punches were really painful. Save Ah-Zhu! Ah-Zhu is in so much pain ah!"
Queen Ah-Zhu gave the ghost-faced old man an aggrieved look. Her father always told her that she must not tell others about their relationship, but this time Ah-Zhu really couldn't help it.
She was simple-minded by nature, and even after becoming a beastman, the ghost-faced old man had always doted and protected her, and the villagers in the ghost village had always treated her like she was a goddess.
She had never suffered much in the past, and now that she was in so much pain, she instinctively sought the protection of the ghost-faced old man.
"Be good, Ah-Zhu. Don't be afraid, daddy is here."
The ghost-faced old man was also panicking. This youth was very strong and he was afraid that he would hurt Ah-Zhu.
"What? Ghost face, the queen is actually your daughter?"
Old Han was shocked, as were the rest of the ghost village.
"Does it matter? She is our queen and if it weren't for her, how could we have survived? Have you guys forgotten everything?" The ghost-faced old man's face darkened.
At that time, their village wasn't called ghost village but West village because they were in the west. Ghost face wasn't at the West village yet, and only Old Han and the other old villagers were there.
It was quite a coincidence. After the apocalypse happened, there were very little villagers in the West Village that turned into zombies, but nobody became an ability user either.
At first, Old Han and the others were able to survive because there weren't many zombies around. They lived very comfortably, but their food supply gradually depleted and they had to eat less.
Then the plundering began, and people who managed to get food survived while those who didn't died.
They clung onto what they had, and everyone refused to leave. After that, they became so hungry that they were only left with their skin and bones.
Ghost face appeared in the West Village a few months ago, and at that time, the West Village was facing a severe disaster—some people wanted to seize their land.
Old Han and the others were old, while the rest were very young, and they were all as thin as branches and no match for the robbers.
Yet, the Ghost face came and held Queen Ah-Zhu in his arms. In the end, the queen got rid of those robbers and they managed to keep their homes.
Later, Ghost face told them that really delicious food was at their feet. Old Han looked down and saw that it was a charred corpse.
However, it gave off the roasted aroma of meat and had a unique taste. This taste attracted him deeply.
That was the first time Old Han, whose eyes were red with hunger, tasted human flesh.
