What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

After Sheng Xue explained the situation, she wanted to return the ten crystal cores to Lu Yize.

Lu Yize glanced at the crystal core in Sheng Xue's hand, but didn't reach for it. He simply said, "Keep it."

He doesn't lack crystal cores now; these crystal cores are somewhat useless to him, and it's faster for him to cultivate on his own.

As for Jiang Yue, the remaining crystal cores he had were enough for her to cultivate for a long time.

After distributing the crystal cores, Lu Yize said, "You've all been working hard for so long, get some rest and let's call it a day."

Holding a huge pile of crystal cores, the group felt instantly bewildered, like they had become nouveau riche. But their refusal was useless; Lu Yize directly suppressed them and accepted the crystal cores.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Fan Jian said, "Brother Lu, you are my brother for life, you are my only brother!"

Xiao Bai felt these words sounded familiar, shook his head, and let out a low growl in protest.

"That's enough, that's enough. I just want to get some sleep." Xian Wenrui was so tired he could barely lift his feet.

Zhang Wenjing noticed that Sheng Xue was close to advancing in her cultivation level, so she didn't dare to delay and pushed her into the house.

Fan Jian wanted to follow because he was worried, but Xiao Bai grabbed him by the back of his neck and threw him away.

"Brother Gou, what are you doing?" Fan Jian asked, puzzled.

Xian Wenrui pulled him to his feet, "There are two girls inside, why are you bothering to come and look? What are you looking at?"

"Besides, you and I are the weakest right now, so let's hurry up and absorb the crystal core to properly digest our superpowers."

"Brother, you're a really nice guy. Even though I'm the weakest, you still thoughtfully brought yourself along. Seriously, you know how to talk." Fan Jian patted Xian Wenrui with a self-aware pat.

The two had barely exchanged a few words when they turned around and found that not only was there no sign of a person, but even the dog had vanished.

"Huh? Where is he?" Fan Jian asked in confusion.

It was unclear where the others had gone, but Lu Yize had already taken Jiang Yue back to their bedroom, returning to his long-lost residence.

Not many days after she left, nothing much had changed in the room. Jiang Yue was already sitting in the chair next to the desk with practiced ease, supporting herself on the chair with both hands and turning the chair around.

Seeing that she was having a great time, Lu Yize sat down on the sofa in the room.

Then, a black box appeared out of thin air and was placed in front of Lu Yize.

The moment the black box appeared, Jiang Yue stopped turning her chair and stared intently at it.

The black box looks exactly the same when it's put inside and when it's put out; the lid is wide open, and the contents are completely visible.

Jiang Yue finally gave up the broken, spinning chair and stared greedily at the black box in front of her. She felt that this box was very nourishing.

This box was formed from the power of a third-tier ability user. Indeed, it was edible. She stared at it, somewhat mesmerized, her mouth constantly drooling.

"Jiang Yue."

Hearing Lu Yize's voice, Jiang Yue regained her senses slightly, looked up at Lu Yize, and replied, "Hmm?"

Lu Yize leaned back against the sofa, sat up, and placed his hand on the edge of the black box. He stared at Jiang Yue and gave a barely perceptible smile. "Try it on."

Jiang Yue glanced down at the contents of the black box. She hadn't actually seen it clearly before because Sheng Xue had covered her eyes.

Perhaps wanting to figure out what was in front of her, Jiang Yue reached out and picked up the thin fabric to examine it.

The sheer fabric cast a net-like shadow on her skin, through which her jade-colored fingers moved, revealing even a small mole on the knuckle of her little finger.

Originally, he just wanted to make a joke to tease Jiang Yue, but unexpectedly, he brought out Jiang Yue's sexy side. Lu Yize leaned back on the sofa and raised his eyebrows to admire her.

Just as she was changing into the fabric that couldn't cover anything, Lu Yize stopped her, saying, "Okay, I was just kidding."

Jiang Yue paused in her act of undressing, trying to gauge Lu Yize's emotions and analyze his words. After a long while, she finally stopped.

"Take a shower, and get some rest afterward."

Lu Yize is not used to sleeping in the same bed. Apart from the day he advanced in his cultivation, he hasn't slept well these past few days. After returning to the base, he just wants to rest and recuperate.

Under Lu Yize's supervision, Jiang Yue went to wash up first. She always dawdled while taking a shower, which took her quite a while.

When she came out, the entire corpse exuded a fragrance. Since advancing in rank, Jiang Yue's skin had become even more human-like.

Now, with the lights dim, it's even harder to tell the difference between them and people.

"Dry your hair before you go to sleep," Lu Yize instructed, and only went into the bathroom after she nodded.

These days, Lu Yize's mind is filled with too many thoughts, a chaotic buzzing that he can't even find peace in the bathroom.

He recalled some events from his previous life, after an extremely hot period, and his heart grew heavier.

After taking a shower and clearing up some of his thoughts, Lu Yize dried his hair with a towel, but felt that Jiang Yue outside was unusually quiet.

The bathroom door opened, and the steam from the bathroom escaped into the bedroom.

The bedroom was dimly lit. Jiang Yue, who was struggling with her clothes, suddenly turned her head and met Lu Yize's gaze.

Jiang Yue's entire back was exposed, her fair neck and shoulders were wrapped in a piece of lace that couldn't quite cover her figure, and the excessively short skirt just covered the top of her thighs.

Jiang Yue's legs are exceptionally long, with lines that gradually extend upwards from her ankles, each inch perfectly proportioned and without an ounce of excess fat.

Jiang Yue didn't know how she managed to put on a mesh garter belt with ruffled trim on her legs, her delicate pale skin half-hidden in the easily torn fabric.

As she turned around, the bells around her neck made a crisp, tinkling sound.

The cat ears on its head are probably crooked and about to slip off because they weren't worn properly.

Jiang Yue was still holding a tail in her hand, with nowhere to put it.

Lu Yize looked at Jiang Yue with deep eyes, a faint, ambiguous smile on his face, "What are you doing?"

Although Jiang Yue wasn't wearing much, she had covered up everything that needed to be covered.

With her back to Lu Yize, she pretended not to have been discovered and continued to struggle with the tattered clothes.

However, when Lu Yize asked her the question, she answered honestly, "I'm getting dressed."

Lu Yize didn't interrupt, but just smiled meaningfully and said, "Okay, you can continue."

He casually tossed the towel into the bathroom tub, got into bed, and leaned against the headboard, his gaze unreserved.

The burning gaze seared Jiang Yue's back, making her only exposed thigh appear even more alluring.

The moment Jiang Yue turned around, Lu Yize raised an eyebrow, his eyes revealing undisguised amazement. Upon seeing Lu Yize, Jiang Yue seemed to have suddenly flipped some strange switch.

She slowly crawled from the foot of the bed to Lu Yize's side, and the lust in her eyes suddenly seemed to ignite a wildfire.

Jiang Yue wrapped her arms tightly around Lu Yize's neck, forcing him to focus his gaze solely on her.

Lu Yize reached out and gently shook the bell around her neck, asking with a laugh amidst the low, intoxicating air, "What do you want to do?"
