Number One Zombie Wife Chapter 25

“How did this happen?”

In great disbelief, Mu Yifan looked at his fingernails. The color had turned darker than before to a grey-black. It was as if he put on nail polish. It was very obvious and he couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to.

He remembered that it wasn’t until the last few days of April that Mu Yifan’s zombie transformation rate had accelerated. So why was he transforming so soon?

Where did it all go wrong?

Mu Yifan contemplated.

It wouldn’t be because of the Qingtian Bead that his transformation started early, right?

But if it was because of the Qingtian Bead, then why would it take his body this long to respond?

Mu Yifan suddenly thought of the cup of water which Zhan Beitian gave him. After he drank it, his abdomen suddenly hurt. If there were no laxatives in the water, then it was…. The spring water from Zhan Beitian’s pocket dimension?

He widened his eyes in shock.

According to his story, the male lead’s pocket dimension contained a lake full of spring water, rich with spiritual energy. After consuming it, impurities would be filtered out of the pores and toxins would be excreted out of the body. This would allow the body to completely metabolize and lead to a healthier physical self, akin to rebirth.

But all he had experienced was diarrhea. His body hadn’t filtered out any impurities at all. It was probably because the male lead mixed it with other types of water, causing the spring water to be less pure.

If that was the case, why would the male lead give someone whom he had just met a few days ago his spring water?

If drinking the water did accelerate his zombie transformation rate, then the male lead seriously screwed him over this time.

Not only could the spiritual spring water not rid the poison in a zombie, it would just make him or her even more aggressive.

Mu Yifan stared at his hands and stood still for a long time.

How was he supposed to hide these hands of his from now on? Was he supposed to bandage them just like his face?

He thought about it and decided that it wasn’t feasible. It would only make the male lead more suspicious.

He then wondered. He walked out of the washroom, picked up the wallet that was on the table and stuffed it in his pocket. He then casually placed both hands inside his pockets, walked out of his room, and saw Zhan Beitian sitting on the sofa and speaking to someone on the phone.

“Let’s put the topic of today’s vegetable purchase aside for now. I want you to buy fifty thousand cans of milk powder and baby necessities. Also get different kinds of toys for children ten and under. Then get clothes for kids under eighteen. I want everything: spring, summer, fall, and winter. Male or female doesn’t matter….”

Mu Yifan was stunned.

Back when he was writing his book, he never wrote about the male lead purchasing these specific things.

Mu Yifan didn’t think of much of it though. While Zhan Beitian was busy on the phone, he wanted to discreetly leave.

“Wait.” Zhan Beitian spoke to the person on the phone and then turned to see Mu Yifan lightly treading towards the front door: “Where are you going?”

Mu Yifan stopped and guiltily turned around: “I just had diarrhea. I want to go to the pharmacy to buy some anti-diarrheal medicine. I also want to go buy some clothes at the mall along the way.”

Zhan Beitian looked at his protruding belly and replied: “You’re not feeling well right now. You can’t drive. Let me drop you off.”

“No need. No need. I’ll just get a taxi. Don’t you have a busy matter to tend to? You do yours. I’ll be back soon.”

Zhan Beitian furrowed his brows: “Then bring your cellphone with you. If anything comes up, give me a call.”

“Okay.” Mu Yifan quickly grabbed his phone from the dining table and swiftly walked out of the villa. He exhaled a deep sigh after realizing that Zhan Beitian hadn’t come out after him. He then called for a taxi.

This area was a bit far from the city center. He walked to the front gate. The taxi didn’t arrive yet.

Standing was very uncomfortable while carrying this belly. Just when he wanted to head back to the security guard station to wait for his ride, he heard someone yell: “Mu Yifan.”
