Lin Qiao took off the little one’s clothes and threw them on the ground. Then, she picked up the tattered coat, tore it into strips, and wetted them in the lake.
After that, she wrung a strip of cloth and used it as a towel to wipe Wu Yueling’s slightly dirty face. She had to wipe that little face three times to make it clean.
Wu Yueling closed her eyes expressionlessly, quietly letting Lin Qiao wipe her face.
Lin Qiao found her little face to be much cuter when it was clean. Then, Lin she glanced at the kid’s long greasy hair and knitted her brows.
How could she wash the child’s hair? She didn’t have shampoo or anything like that in her space. Probably, soaking those hair in the water for a longer while would work.
She pushed Wu Yueling toward the lake and made her stand in the shallow water, then began wiping her body with cloth strips.
The temperature in Lin Qiao’s space was constant, neither hot nor cold; and so was the temperature of the lake water. As a zombie, Lin Qiao couldn’t sense the water temperature, but Wu Yueling wasn’t like her.
Stepping into the water, Wu Yueling found that it was a little warm, and not cold at all. In fact, her skin was colder than the water. Maybe because she had taken off her clothes, she felt comfortable and interested in the warm water. However, as an introverted child, she wouldn’t show her feelings.
The other kids might have begun to frolic in the water already.
Lin Qiao also stood in the water. After wiping Wu Yueling’s little body, she began showering her with the lake water.
She felt that this child had brought her a lot of extra work. She needed to find her food, make her bed, and now she needed to bathe her; after this she needed to wash her clothes…
She suddenly realized that she has become a zombie nanny!
She should have sent the little one back to her father as soon as she could, because life would have been much easier that way. But now, she had taken the kid away, so she needed to be responsible for her! Even though this made the kid’s dad anxious, it wasn’t easy for herself either!
Furthermore, Wu Yueling didn’t like to talk or communicate with her. She felt that this child was quite boring; but in fact, she disliked naughty and noisy kids so much that once she got near those kids, she would feel perturbed, and her head would even ache.
If Wu Yueling hadn’t been so quiet that sometimes Lin Qiao even forgot that the former was there, the latter wouldn’t have really taken this kid with her. She would definitely throw her back to that man who looked nice but wasn’t at all.
To be honest, Lin Qiao didn’t know why she really kept the little one…
Wu Yueling was standing quite still when Lin Qiao bathed her. But suddenly, she raised a foot and quickly ran up behind the latter, hiding behind her legs and sticking her head out to look at the lakeside.
Seeing her strange behavior, Lin Qiao raised her head to look at the same direction, then saw Xie Dong standing a short distance, staring at the naked Wu Yueling with his eyes glowing.
It might be the obvious desire in his eyes which frightened Wu Yueling and made the kid hide behind Lin Qiao.
At that moment, Lin Qiao even wanted to call the police and tell them that she had found a pervert.
She straightened her body and gave Xie Dong a warning glare.
Receiving the glare, Xie Dong woke up immediately, then began to wonder why she stared at him in such a strange way as if he was a pervert.
And then, he finally recalled what he was trying to do by coming here in the first place. He wanted to tell Lin Qiao something, but he was again tempted by Wu Yueling’s nice aroma when he saw Lin Qiao bathing her; so, his mind stopped working for a moment.
However, the glare and the strong pressure from Lin Qiao cleared his mind instantly.
He looked at Lin Qiao while walking toward her. He didn’t get too close, stopping about five meters away from the lakeside. Then, he raised a hand with his palm turned up. Next, a small flame which looked like a flame on a lighter rose from his palm, swaying gently.
Lin Qiao’s eyes glowed when she saw the flame, but she then told him to wait by using a hand signal. After that, she turned back and continued bathing Wu Yueling. The kid’s long hair took her about ten minutes to clean up.
The little kid had really thick hair that were waist long. Her hair were greasy, tied in a ponytail at first; but later on, the ponytail loosened.
Lin Qiao asked her to bend her waist and face the lake water so that her hair could be soaked. She rubbed the kid’s hair with her fingers for quite a while before they got less greasy, then brought the kid ashore with wet hair.
After giving her wet hair a wring, Lin Qiao put the adult top on her. It covered Wu Yueling up till her knees, and its sleeves looked especially long on her.
Then, Lin Qiao lifted her up and walked to the bedside, putting her down on it and letting her sit there.
She found a coat and draped it around the kid’s shoulders as her hair were still wet. She didn’t know how to dry the kid’s hair now, but she was worried that the latter might get sick with the wet hair. So, she put the coat on her to try and keep her warm.
After settling Wu Yueling down, Lin Qiao walked to Xie Dong. At that moment, he seemed to be practicing to control the flame in his palm, trying to prevent it from dying too fast.
Lin Qiao walked up to him, took out the pen and paper, and wrote a few words.
‘Can you use your power now?’ 
She asked.
Xie Dong glanced at her and nodded, but then shook his head.
Lin Qiao knew what he meant, that even though he was able to create flame now, he couldn’t control it yet. Besides, the flame was too small, and he didn’t know how to make it grow.
He had eaten a human heart earlier. Before that, he couldn’t release his fire power, but now he could. Even though the flame wasn’t strong, it was still an obvious improvement. It seemed that eating human beings was indeed the best way for zombies to evolve.
However, Lin Qiao wondered exactly which level Xie Dong was at. Level-three? He was much weaker than level three zombies. But then again, he could now release his fire power, and might be able to use it more skillfully before long. After all, he remembered how he used to control his power.
Lin Qiao assumed that he needed to eat human beings to gain energy and boost his power. Even though eating human hearts was very unacceptable for him, he should change his attitude if he wanted to grow stronger.
Lin Qiao looked at Xie Dong for a while and then abruptly wrote on the paper,‘When we’re out, let’s battle if we have the time. I want to know where’s the limit of your strength.’

Xie Dong nodded in agreement after reading the note. He too wanted to know that. However, looking at her dark eyes, he felt that his as would be kicked thoroughly in this process.
Lin Qiao glanced at Xie Dong from head to toe, then turned back to wash Wu Yueling’s clothes.
