Everyone Knows I'm a Good Person

Chapter 141.1

Thank you, anonymous reader, for the Ko-fi!

It took everything Shi Qing had to not moan out ‘harder daddy’. Not that he could speak anyway at the moment.

Song Xiabing didn’t move any further. He was always best at observing others. After spending so much time with the Blazing Thunder Company, how could he not know of Shi Qing’s temper?

This captain was famous for having a hair trigger temper. He was also morally deficient, as shown by how he kidnapped a woman not long ago.

Not only was Shi Qing easily irritated, he also had quite the ego. This kind of person could disregard Song Xiabing’s previous two acts of feigned experimentation. However, one more time and Shi Qing was sure to take out his frustrations on him.

Anyways, Shi Qing was quite used to taking out his frustrations on others. Song Xiabing had no problem with this.

He wasn’t exactly a saint himself. It’s just that he saw these immoral acts as beneath him, that’s all.

So he waited patiently for the man in his arms to recover. His originally stuttered breaths slowly returned to normal.

As soon as he came to his senses, the captain of the Blazing Thunder Company immediately did an about-face. He shoved Song Xiabing away with a dark expression, stumbling a few times as he found his balance.

Shi Qing used quite a bit of force, but Song Xiabing had two awakenings under his belt. Of course he wouldn’t be pushed back so easily.

Despite this, he deliberately allowed himself to fall. He stared up at Shi Qing pitifully from the still-wet ground.

“Boss...”

Yes, he was showing weakness.

Temporarily concealing his hatred and showing weakness to his enemy was nothing to Song Xiabing.

After all, for more than twenty years he had acted the part of a fool.

He focused on Shi Qing’s reaction after he put on a pitiful, bewildered and pained expression. As expected, the man’s indignant fury faded a bit at the look on Song Xiabing’s face.

But his tone was still very harsh. “How are you even more womanly than women. Laozi didn’t even push you that hard and you fell. What a weakling.”

Song Xiabing didn’t change his position on the ground, but a timid look appeared on his face. He seemed very hesitant to open his mouth and weakly explain in his pleasing voice, “I’ve been locked up here for three days with nothing to eat. I have no strength left in my body...”

That was a bold-faced lie. Ever since his ability evolved, Song Xiabing discovered that all objects he consumed with his ability would be converted into energy that was stored in his body.

Similar to food in a way.

Anyways, he could eat if he wanted to right now, but he definitely wasn’t starving.

Still, the person in front of him didn’t know that.

Wasn’t it Shi Qing who caused him to be locked up here for three days?

As expected, impatience flashed across the man’s face that was beaded with sweat. But he still said, “Then get up. I’ll take you to eat outside.”

Song Xiabing’s expression smoothly morphed into one of gratitude. He seemed to be struggling to his feet, but inside he scoffed.

He knew that Shi Qing disliked him. No, to be more precise, Shi Qing hated him.

His unjustified hatred also came with a side of disdain.

Ever since he had discovered Shi Qing’s secret, this guy had always looked at him with cold, murderous intent in his eyes.

Like Song Xiabing was some insignificant ant who had dared to offend him.

Song Xiabing had no problem with Shi Qing wanting to kill him due to a single incident.

This was a world in which the strong preyed on the weak after all.

However, that didn’t stop him from hating Shi Qing.

Now this guy was actually leaving him alive for a reason as ridiculous as wanting to train his tail’s resistance.

If that was the case, then don’t blame him for unceremoniously taking Shi Qing’s life later.

Song Xiabing slowly got up under the man’s impatient gaze, his body still soaking wet, his skin still pallid, even though his ability prevented it from wrinkling.

With his handsome face and adequately toned body, he easily attracted the sympathy of others.

A pity that Shi Qing was supposed to be a straight man who didn’t know how to appreciate the male form right now.

He only looked now on Song Xiabing from where he stood and delivered a constant stream of mocking. “Look at how weak you are. Are you really a man? I don’t know how you’ve lived until now, since you’re weaker than a woman. Did you rely on that useless ability of yours?”

Song Xiabing looked down like he was hurt. His long eyelashes fluttered silently against his pale face. The fists that hung at his sides, however, slowly clenched.

Shi Qing’s words had practically crossed every bottom line he had. If someone more impulsive was in his place, they might’ve grabbed this guy’s tail and taught him a lesson already.

But Song Xiabing wouldn’t do that.

He was the Song family young master who had laid low for twenty years, pretending to be a crazy, dumb and ignorant dandy in order to ruin all his enemies at the same time.

When Song Xiabing looked up again, there was already another ingratiating and timid smile plastered across his face.

“Sorry Boss, I’ll be quicker next time.”

“Hmph.” The handsome man with honey-coloured skin clasped his arms and snorted, his face full of disdain. “I doubt someone like you could move any quicker.”

“Weakling.”

With that, Shi Qing looked Song Xiabing up and down again, rather dissatisfied. He eventually waved his hand mercifully. “Forget it. All you’re good for from now on is to touch the thing behind me everyday. It’s not like I need you to fight zombies.”

The rest of his words were left unsaid but heavily implied. He obviously doubted Song Xiabing could win against the zombies.

But that wasn’t what Song Xiabing was focused on. A dark light flashed across his eyes as he raised his head to meet Shi Qing’s gaze head on.

“Do I have to touch Boss’ tail every day?”

The man stiffened slightly. The big, fluffy, fiery red tail behind him, which only Song Xiabing could see, subconsciously arranged itself in front of its master.

Shi Qing impatiently grabbed the tail and shoved it down so it was out of his way. He cursed under his breath, “This damn thing is such a nuisance.”

When he looked at Song Xiabing again, his tone was at least eighty percent worse than before. “I said I wanted to build its resistance. Of course you have to touch it everyday.”

There was nothing wrong with his logic.

Still, Song Xiabing vaguely felt that something wasn’t right here. But he couldn’t quite put his finger on it even after a moment of consideration. He could only put the thought aside for now. Shi Qing had already started wiping sweat off his forehead with an annoyed look on his face. Then he did a warm-up exercise to get over the weakness in his legs.

Only when he was sure everything was back to normal did he swish his tail and lift his chin at Song Xiabing. “What are you standing around for? Let’s go.”

Song Xiabing obediently followed Shi Qing out of the water prison.

The water prison was not guarded. There was no reason to do so. After all, before the apocalypse arrived it was just a swimming pool.

After Shi Qing took over this place, he liked to come and swim when he had time to spare.

The water used for swimming was, of course, created by water ability users. Song Xiabing was technically the first person to be thrown in here. As a result, the swimming pool naturally became a water prison.

As Song Xiabing followed behind Shi Qing, the other members of the Blazing Thunder Company they met along the way were all astonished to see him alive and soaking wet.

“He’s not dead Boss?” One little brother approached out of curiosity. He sized up Song Xiabing and confirmed that this guy was just a bit pale and wet. Surprisingly, he actually still had all his body parts attached.

“Didn’t you say to lock him up in the water prison for three days? An ordinary person would be crippled if not dead already, right?”

Shi Qing scoffed. “Who said he’s an ordinary person? Is he not an ability user?” Only then did the little brother remember that yes, Song Xiabing was actually an ability user.

The fact had slipped his mind since Song Xiabing’s ability was so useless.

“Boss, didn’t the Song family refuse to pay the ransom? What’s the point of letting him out? Didn’t you say last time that you wanted this kid to...”

The little brother made a cutting motion across his throat, showing a complete disregard for Song Xiabing who was right there listening in. Shi Qing’s expression darkened. He slapped the little brother on the head and roared, “Don’t question Laozi’s decisions!”

The blow contained so much force that the little brother was seeing stars. Seeing that the boss was in a bad mood, he hastily covered his head and begged for mercy,

“I’m sorry, sorry, Boss. Please be generous enough to forgive me and my big mouth. I’ll leave right away.”

“Wait.”

Shi Qing snatched the back of his collar and dragged him back. “I have something to ask you. Where’s Zhou Xuanxuan?”

“She’s locked in her room. Boss, she’s refused to eat anything for three days. I think she’s about to croak.”

“What?!!”

Shi Qing’s voice went up an octave, “Why didn’t any of you tell me she wasn’t eating?!”

The little brother was scared stiff. His first instinct was to shield his head again. “B-Boss...didn’t you say that we should let her die if she wants to so badly?”

Song Xiabing looked up a fraction at this familiar name.

Zhou Xuanxuan could be considered one of the more famous female ability users on base. She was a flat-chested girl who liked to wear men’s clothing. If not for her beautiful face and long hair, people might have mistaken her for a guy. She was also a level 7 ability user.

That, along with her gutsy attitude and ample combat experience, made her one of the most powerful people on base. However, she was sometimes too righteous for her own good. Because of incidents like when she had stood up for some humiliated women not long ago, Zhou Xuanxuan had made plenty of hidden enemies.

On one of her trips out to scavenge for supplies, Zhou Xuanxuan ran into a level 8 mutated plant.

Although she escaped with her life, her ability was completely gone.

A once powerful ability user that had many hidden enemies had now been crippled...

You could probably guess where this was going. Song Xiabing knew that the woman Shi Qing had kidnapped recently was Zhou Xuanxuan.

Apparently the captain liked his women with a bit of spice. He announced that Zhou Xuanxuan would be his woman the day he kidnapped her.

When Song Xiabing glanced at Shi Qing again, he noticed the worry in the always arrogant and self-centered man’s eyes.

But his expression was still as fierce as ever.

“I was talking about me! Who gave you guys permission to starve her?!”

The little brother was also quite aggrieved. “Boss, we didn’t starve her on purpose! She’s just refusing to eat the meals given.”

Zhou Xuanxuan’s beauty was out of this world. Even if she had angered their boss, the bachelors of the Blazing Thunder Company couldn’t bear to starve her, ah. They delivered three meals a day like clockwork, hoping that the beauty would be thankful and maybe give them a kiss.

Yes, they wouldn’t dare to steal the woman their boss brought back for himself. But if Zhou Xuanxuan initiated something, well, that would be a different story.

Despite his temper, the boss could be quite generous at times. He might just let them have her. “What a fucking nuisance. That’s the bad thing about women. Laozi’s so handsome, strong and powerful. What’s a cripple like her acting hard to get for?”

After saying that, Shi Qing touched his face and asked the little brother. “Hey you. Aren’t I handsome? Do you know how many talent scouts tried to make me a star before the apocalypse, thanks to this face of mine?”

Song Xiabing laughed inwardly at how smug he looked.

Who didn’t know that the now formidable Blazing Thunder Company captain Shi Qing was just a gangster before the apocalypse? The type who couldn’t make it to the big leagues to boot.

Now he’s tooting his own horn.

After venting his frustration, Shi Qing chased the little brother out. “Scram! Bunch of useless trash...don’t even know how to read between the lines... No meat for any of you in the next hunt!”

The little brother scrammed while he still could.

Song Xiaobing watched as the impatient man paced back and forth. Shi Qing muttered under his breath, “Forget it, a man like me won’t get into it with a woman.”

Then Shi Qing went ahead.

And Song Xiabing followed behind, a calculating look on his face.

Shi Qing is really having a blast, huh.
