Shi Xuan was delighted to get a Fourth Level Blast Master for nothing.

The person was truly one of his own.

Shi Xuan sympathized deeply and treated her as a confidant.

Shi Xuan even thought, if, by chance, he grows old and dies first, and Ren Zhong has yet to secure enough spots for the tribe to move into the town, Tang Shuying should temporarily take over the tribe's leadership to give Shi Lin more room to grow.

So, after just a little over ten days, Tang Shuying seemed to be on the path to becoming the second-in-command of the Qi Mountain Tribe.

However, when Ren Zhong saw her, he noticed she wasn't happy, with a lingering sorrow hidden between her brows.

In her own mind, she truly felt that living wasn't very meaningful.

She was only staying alive because of Ren Zhong's orders, trying her best to live well.

Her performance during hunts was merely a display of the years of experience and strength she had accumulated, without any deliberate effort to improve herself—just going through the motions, as if going with the flow.

In the living room of Tang Shuying's new home in the Qi Mountain Tribe, Ren Zhong was sitting at the dining table waiting, while Tang Shuying was cooking noodles over there.

The air was filled with the faint aroma of noodles.

This was one of the few natural foods in the tribe, quite valuable, and only someone as well-off as Tang Shuying, who came from the town, would indulge in eating it.

After a long while, Tang Shuying brought two large bowls of noodles, with floating vegetable leaves, to the table.

"Mr. Ren, eat."

On the 68th day, Zheng Tian had already brought Chen Hanyu over to give Tang Shuying a permanent and irreversible disguise.

Chen Hanyu was very skilled, leaving no scars on her face, merely eliminating a small part of the muscle fibers, erasing her former allure, turning her into a nondescript middle-aged woman in front of Ren Zhong.

Additionally, Chen Hanyu slightly altered her vocal cords, making her voice sound somewhat husky.

Ren Zhong picked up his chopsticks but asked bluntly, "You don't seem happy?"

Tang Shuying forced a smile and confessed, "Actually, I really think death would be my best end. Although Yang Bingzhong is dead, and you showed me the video of his punishment. Yes, I felt very gratified at the time. But once that gratification faded, the past's memories haunted me, leaving only emptiness and regret in my heart."

"If there is another world after death, I want to reunite with my husband and child there, and I also want to find Yang Bingzhong to torment his soul post-mortem. If it weren't for Mr. Ren, promising to one day reveal who my real enemies are, I would have some reluctance, or else I would have ended it."

Her hatred for Yang Bingzhong did not dissipate with her target's death.

That was an indelible scar in her heart.

Ren Zhong nodded and silently ate his noodles.

The only sounds in the room were the two of them noisily slurping their noodles.

Tang Shuying did not interrupt Ren Zhong.

She knew how formidable Ren Zhong was and also understood that Mr. Ren was engaging in very important contemplation.

After a long while, Ren Zhong finished his bowl of noodles, put down his chopsticks, "Captain Tang, your culinary skills are excellent."

"Thank you. Mr. Ren, go ahead and say what you need to say."

Ren Zhong took a deep breath, "Your real enemy is this world."

Tang Shuying was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"If humanity didn't have different classes..."

"If Citizens weren't granted such immense privileges..."

"If there truly were laws protecting the rights of Wildlings..."

"In short, the tragedy you and your family experienced wouldn't have happened. What I want to do is overturn this world. And now I've found an opportunity."

Ren Zhong told Tang Shuying a well-meaning lie.

He didn't want to bind her with any reason.

He told Tang Shuying that there were four candidate options for the embryonic mother.

She was just one of them, with no advantages over the other three.

Her greatest advantage lay only in Ren Zhong's greater trust in her.

When telling this lie, Ren Zhong hung his head low, not meeting Tang Shuying's eyes.

"Now, Captain Tang, please tell me your decision. I have no intention of forcing you, and I respect all your considerations."

Having finally finished speaking, Ren Zhong slowly asked, lifting his head to look directly at her.

Unexpectedly, Tang Shuying was already in tears.

Ren Zhong: "Huh? Captain Tang..."

Tang Shuying: "Mr. Ren, can she have the same surname as my husband?"

Ren Zhong: "Ah?"

In fact, he wanted to say that wasn't the point.

Tang Shuying continued: "My husband also had the surname Sun, the same as Dr. Sun."

Ren Zhong: "If you wish, I have no problem."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Hahaha!"

Tang Shuying suddenly began laughing while crying, nearly losing herself, and said, "Mr. Ren, are you a god sent by heaven to save me? You've always known I have a desire for death, right? And you know I've been living in the pain of losing my family, right?"

"Thank you, Mr. Ren. I want her! I want a daughter! I want to live for her! I also want to see how my daughter and you will destroy this hateful world! This... This is truly happiness!"

Watching this strong woman who was half-mad with excitement, Ren Zhong remained silent for a long, long time.

Actually, he didn't understand her as well as she claimed he did.

Before coming here, Ren Zhong's feelings had been anxious.

He hadn't expected this to become the new pillar of Tang Shuying's will.

She had quite the misunderstanding.

But the anguish disappeared quietly in such a way, which was always a good thing.

Ren Zhong patted Tang Shuying's shoulder, "Ying, you will make a good mother. I believe it."

"Mm!"

"Alright, let's go back to Starfire Town."

"Okay! But Mr. Ren, give me a few minutes, I need to make some arrangements, Shi Xuan will have a headache again. But, hahaha! I'm really happy!"

Watching the exuberant figure of this woman gleefully shouting, a smile instinctively appeared on Ren Zhong's face.

Perhaps this is happiness.

Somewhat envious of her.
