I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Yan Ziming didn't notice, still pondering whether or not he should give it to her.

"No, that's not it. I'll put it off for now. I need to ask Xian'er about some things before I can make a final decision."

"Hmph!" Mu Mu suddenly snorted unhappily.

"Hey—why are you angry!"

"no!"

"Nonsense, it's all bulging up here." (Pokes~~)

"gone back!"

............

40. Blue Peony

"I'm back~~"

Returning to her home after a long absence, Yan Ziming excitedly opened her arms wide, as if welcoming the feeling of 'home' or embracing someone.

I haven't been back for half a year, but instead of feeling unfamiliar, my memories of you have become clearer and clearer.

"What are you yelling about like a madman? It's the middle of the night, everyone's asleep!"

"..."

Feeling depressed, Yan Ziming walked into the living room, quietly lay down on the sofa, and leisurely breathed in the fresh air of the house.

"Is Qianxue asleep too?"

"She's asleep. After all, she did quite well today, thanks to you, her older sister."

Mu Mu hadn't expected Ye Qianxue to improve so much in such a short time. Her speed was incredible, even surpassing Yan Zimo's when he was still at the seventh level.

Ultimately, it was Yan Ziming's selfless dedication, with resources that even the national government envied, that allowed her to grow to this point.

"Hehe~~ Don't say that. You can't just transfer all your efforts to others, can you? I heard from Ye Qianxue that you seem to be penniless as well."

"Oh, that?" Mu Mu suddenly became indifferent, her gaze drifting to the window. "I was asking your sister to pay for it with her body."

"Eh?"

Yan Ziming was stunned.

"So you're saying you want your sister's flesh..."

"Ahhh, stop talking!" Yan Ziming covered his head with both hands, stopping Mu Mu from continuing, and a dark aura emanated from his body.

How can you be so cruel!

Thinking about how my younger sister always comes back to me full of energy every time she leaves home, I guess she's just faking it.

Heaven knows how many times that pure and innocent exterior has been violated by Mu Mu...

"Hey, I was just kidding. How did you make it sound like I've been cheated on with countless times?"

Mu Mu's lips twitched as she looked at Yan Ziming, who had a green meadow on his head, and thought to herself, "Don't you even have a shred of suspicion?"

On your first day in Tibet, you actually handed your sister over to me.

"Ah, you should have said so earlier." Yan Ziming said with lingering fear, "Your style of doing things makes me completely trust you!"

"Besides, if I wanted your sister to sleep with me, it would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

"......"

Ah, no.

Why do I always get this NTR feeling when you say these things?

KOPA, KOPA!

"Alright, I'm going to sleep too. We'll talk about tomorrow tomorrow." Mu Mu pulled Yan Ziming's hand and headed for the door.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can go to sleep, why are you dragging me along? Besides, that's not the direction the room faces!"

Yan Ziming sensed something was wrong and struggled violently.

"Nonsense, it's been more than half a year, what do you think I want to do!" Mu Mu glared at her.

"Is this all you think about all day?!"

"I don't care about all that. Either stay here or come with me to the nightclub we went to before. You can choose one. Just a heads up, if you stay here, I can't guarantee that your sister or Xian'er won't hear what's going on."

Mu Mu was already threatening her, and had directly cut off Yan Ziming's escape route, forcing her to choose between two options.

Yan Ziming had no choice but to humiliatingly play the role of the female protagonist who was NTR'd in the novel, "Then... let's go to the nightclub?"

"You should have said so earlier! Come with me!"

"Hmph! What's with the arrogance? I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

The two of them went to a nightclub and spent a wonderful night there... Actually, no, it only lasted a few hours.

After all, Yan Ziming's physical condition was what it was, and apart from the first ten minutes or so, the rest of the time, Yan Ziming was taking advantage of Mu Mu.

This can be considered one of Yan Ziming's rare comebacks.

With some time still to go before dawn, neither of them wanted to continue their intimacy. Just then, Mu Mu received a notification from the military.

After hearing the contents, Mu Mu sighed softly and kissed Yan Ziming goodbye, "Sheng'an City has been attacked by mutated species, and I have to go there to oversee things."

Is it dangerous?

"It's nothing special. It's happened frequently in the last six months. Every time it's all bark and no bite. The army can easily suppress it without me even having to lift a finger."

Since the first batches of electromagnetic railgun technology were deployed, humanity's advantage on the battlefield has become increasingly apparent, far surpassing anything seen before.

If there aren't many S-class mutated species, there's no need for ability users to fight them; they can just focus fire and blast them to death halfway through.

More than ten electromagnetic cannons will bombard you, blocking all escape routes. Are you scared?

Furthermore, with several military administrative regions now merged into one, the number of mutated species, less than 600,000 or 700,000, is basically just there to be fed, and most of the time they are used to train new recruits.

This time is no different, with a scale of no more than 300,000. If it weren't for the fact that a ninth-level expert must be present to guard against unforeseen circumstances during the battle, Mu Mu really wouldn't want to go.

"Safe travels."

"Ah."

Mu Mu traversed through space and left. Yan Ziming had no intention of staying any longer. He looked up and saw that it was already past 4:30 in the morning.

At this point, Xian'er should be getting up.

Yan Ziming still had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Liu Mengxian. For example, why was he able to improve his strength by purifying nuclear radiation?

This was completely incomprehensible, and Yan Ziming couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

And regarding the matter of the Great Sage coming to see him yesterday, Yan Ziming was eager to get an answer from Liu Mengxian.

But the most important thing... is that I want to see that person as soon as possible.

She quietly opened the door to her home. The sky was already slightly bright, and the corridor was bathed in a soft, dim light, quiet and beautiful, which calmed Yan Ziming's impatient heart.

As if walking through a quiet bamboo forest path, Yan Ziming followed the path forward. The moment he stepped into the living room, a sudden light shone through him, and he had to raise his hand to shield his eyes.

Looking back, she was captivating.

A delicate blue peony slowly blooms in the living room, radiating a sun-like glow that illuminates the entire space.

In the blink of an eye, the light faded away, leaving Yan Ziming forever trapped in the dream.

In the enchanting dream, the 'blue peony' drew near to his side, emitting a rich fragrance that seemed to have the magical effect of bringing people back from their reverie. Yan Ziming snapped out of his dazed first encounter.

"Now it's my turn to say it... Mo'er, welcome home."

Liu Mengxian gently gave Yan Ziming a hug, her voice as melodious as a crystal wind chime, emitting a soft glow.

"Ah... um..." Yan Ziming responded, his mouth dry.

The reaction was somewhat lukewarm. Liu Mengxian stared at her intently. "Not happy?"

"No, no, no! It's just... cough cough! Xian'er, what are you wearing...?"

Yan Ziming was unsure where to look, because Liu Mengxian's current attire was so dazzling that she couldn't look directly at her.

cheongsam.

That was a cheongsam that Yan Ziming bought for her some time ago.

41. The only one

At this moment, Liu Mengxian's attire exuded such charm that Yan Ziming almost suffocated.

The hem of the cheongsam was quite short, only reaching mid-thigh, exposing a large expanse of smooth, shimmering skin. The tight-fitting blue-purple embroidered floral cheongsam accentuated her stunning figure perfectly. Her captivating starry eyes were distant and ethereal, exuding a cool yet serene temperament. These seemingly contradictory yet harmonious qualities combined to make her the most perfect being.

There's a reason why Yan Ziming was stunned.

In my memory, the only time I saw Liu Mengxian wear this cheongsam was when I bought it for her to try it on; after that, I never saw her again.

Seeing this scene again after half a year is nothing short of breathtaking.

"Xian'er, why are you dressed like this..." Yan Ziming swallowed.
