CHAPTER 121: CHAPTER 121: APOCALYPSE, I AM NOT THE HOLY MOTHER 27

Lin Shuangshuang glanced over and found that Li Man’s teammates were still Liu Ze, Fang Lei, Yang Duo, Yang Ziqi, and Zhao Yan—a group that matched Lin Shuangshuang’s memories from her past life. These people were always Li Man’s loyal followers, often acting together with Lin Shuangshuang and Li Man in her previous life.

The difference this time was that Zhao Yan was in a truly pitiful state, his leg seemed to be gone, placed in a bamboo basket by Li Man, and carried by Fang Lei, the strongest in the team.

With just one glance, Lin Shuangshuang could see the numbness and lifelessness on Zhao Yan’s face, carrying a shade of death being preferable. Lin Shuangshuang’s eyes darkened; she had completely abandoned the idea of killing Zhao Yan. Letting him live like this was far more satisfying than seeing him dead!

After a quick glance at Zhao Yan’s condition, Lin Shuangshuang turned her gaze to Li Man, who was leading and entangled with Red Jade. For some reason, it seemed that Li Man and her group’s strength had increased since last time.

Last time, Red Jade had just mutated and hadn’t even shed its skin yet, making Li Man and her group extremely embarrassed, even crippling Zhao Yan’s leg. This time, despite Red Jade’s formidable mutation, Li Man could actually manage a draw with Liu Ze, Fang Lei, Yang Duo, and Yang Ziqi!

Lin Shuangshuang frowned, her face chilling with intent. Seeing Li Man now, Lin Shuangshuang no longer felt the surge of anger she experienced upon first being reborn, but her killing intent towards Li Man hadn’t lessened at all!

Lin Shuangshuang pursed her lips and drew the Qingque Sword, channeling her inner strength. With a light touch of her toes, she moved like the wind, instantly appearing in front of Li Man. The sword’s cold tip aimed straight at Li Man’s neck, filled with boundless killing intent!

The intense killing intent and sharp sword light hadn’t even reached Li Man before her hair stood on end with fright. Uncontrollable fear surged in her heart, and she couldn’t suppress a short scream.

Luckily, Li Man’s subordinates Liu Ze and Fang Lei, with their consistent reliability in battle, pulled Li Man backward at the critical moment. Li Man reacted quickly, only losing her long hair’s top to Lin Shuangshuang’s Qingque Sword.

With her attack unsuccessful, Lin Shuangshuang realized she had missed the best chance to kill Li Man. From now on, neither the righteous Song Yuhang and his companions nor Li Man’s competent crew would allow Lin Shuangshuang another attempt.

Despite her unwillingness, Lin Shuangshuang calmly withdrew, standing before Red Jade with a cold expression. All her killing intent was completely contained, as if she had never intended to kill, exuding an increasingly otherworldly composure.

Meanwhile, the rescued Li Man’s heart was racing painfully fast! It wouldn’t stop! Her head’s green hair scattered everywhere, quickly covering the ground. The once neat and spirited hairstyle highlighting her vigor was completely wrecked by Lin Shuangshuang’s sword.

Now, Li Man’s head was stripped of hair by Lin Shuangshuang, exposing a bald top akin to a cartoon kappa—unsightly beyond measure!

Just after calming her pounding heart, Li Man saw the floor covered in green hair, instantly sensing something ominous. She couldn’t resist feeling her hair.

The hair around the sides remained, and Li Man felt a moment’s relief. But as she felt upward, she touched the flattened top by Lin Shuangshuang! Li Man froze, then trembled as she confirmed her once lush hair had become a wasteland!

Li Man’s face changed, unwilling to believe, she kept feeling her head. Yet, the baldness was undeniable, and finally, she couldn’t hold back a wretched scream, clutching her head and squatting down, crying uncontrollably!

The hairstyle was hideously ugly without even needing a look! Although Li Man dressed spiritedly like a tomboy, she deeply cherished beauty. She couldn’t stand her sudden kappa hairstyle and was instantly driven to tears!

Normally strong people when they cry, evoke great sympathy. Li Man’s tears flustered her teammates, surrounding and comforting her in a flurry of words.

Among the five, only Zhao Yan in the bamboo basket on Fang Lei’s back remained indifferent, silent, and lifeless. As if he hadn’t seen Li Man’s misfortune or heard her sobs—staring blankly ahead, hollow and unfocused!

Li Man’s non-stop crying left Lin Shuangshuang’s side quite at a loss; the soldiers were rough men not used to dealing with women. If they did, it was with equally tough special forces women, who bled without shedding tears.

These soldiers had no idea how to comfort a crying woman, so they simply watched the sky and the ground or played with Red Jade, ignoring Li Man.

As for Mi Lu, Li Wenxuan, and Li Wenbo, these three were Lin Shuangshuang’s people, unconditionally siding with her, joining the spectacle without comforting or criticizing her actions.

Song Yuhang, seeing Lin Shuangshuang’s indifferent demeanor, felt his teeth ache—bullying someone into tears, then standing aside looking uninvolved. He didn’t know what to say.

Despite Lin Shuangshuang’s attitude, Song Yuhang didn’t think she was wrong and had no intention of comforting Li Man. Like his soldiers, he was not adept at dealing with crying women.

So, Song Yuhang, feeling toothache over Lin Shuangshuang’s stance, stood beside her with arms crossed, watching the spectacle.

Ma Ying, Lin Shuangshuang’s little admirer, only had eyes for her idol. Ignoring the crying Li Man, she squeezed Mi Lu next to Li Wenxuan and mischievously winked at them before satisfiedly mimicking Lin Shuangshuang’s stern expression watching Li Man cry!

Liu Song glanced around, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. As a career-focused agricultural scientist, he wasn’t skilled in handling women’s affairs, calmly positioning himself behind a particularly tall soldier to play with a cat alongside another soldier in the back.

The only reliable person was Ma Yuan, now feeling utterly headache-ridden, like a parent of rambunctious children with diverse personalities.

With everyone feigning ignorance, Ma Yuan awkwardly coughed, took a step forward, and spoke up, "Miss, are you alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"

Ma Yuan’s question was incredibly awkward, as it was clear Li Man wasn’t injured except for the unsightly hairstyle cut by Lin Shuangshuang, and his words lacked any apology on behalf of Lin Shuangshuang.

It’s not that Ma Yuan was too proud to apologize, but given the events, he didn’t feel his side was at fault; everyone saw Li Man and her group’s aggressive bullying of Red Jade.
