Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

The driver in the front seat glanced at Yu Zhuo silently. After getting in the car, Yu Zhuo picked up his phone and searched for information without saying anything more.

The driver repeated, "Are we going to the Earl's residence? Which Earl?"

“Yes, that’s the place.” Yu Zhu thought for a moment and said, “He was just made a count yesterday. The address is near the temple. Just take him there.”

The morning news had already reported on Zhou Yanshu. Tamo issued an edict to grant him the title of Earl from the late king, an outrageous move that left everyone in the underwater world speechless.

She never expected that the person she would marry was Yu Zhuo. The driver glanced at Yu Zhuo out of the corner of his eye. The online video only showed Yu Zhuo wearing a mermaid mask at his wedding. Now, sitting in the car, his face was fair, his lips were red, and his teeth were white. He didn't seem as stupid as the rumors suggested.

The driver looked away, coughed, and drove Yu Zhuo to the temple.

*

When Yu Zhuo returned, it was nearly evening. The auction lasted for six hours, but Yu Zhuo only watched for less than half an hour before leaving.

Qi Mohan claimed he wanted to select a few items from the auction to give as gifts to Zhou Yanshu, a clumsy excuse; in reality, they were all from Chong Yuzhuo.

Most of the items auctioned there were human organs. Qi Mohan was making an example of Yu Zhuo to warn and intimidate him.

If Yu Zhuo ever chooses the wrong side and fails to behave himself, the next thing to appear at the auction will come from Yu Zhuo himself.

Yu Zhuo felt increasingly troubled. He infiltrated the system database to gather information and also marked Qi Mohan as a danger target.

These little tricks weren't enough to frighten Yu Zhuo, but Qi Mohan's unwavering focus on him from the moment he arrived did increase Yu Zhuo's wariness of him.

As they returned, light shone from the edge of the window in the inner room. Yu Zhuo went in and casually asked a guard standing nearby, "Has the Earl returned?"

“The Earl has just returned,” the guard replied.

“Okay.” Yu Zhuo nodded, stepped into the house, and, true to his character, rudely flung open the door. “Hey, you’ve been out for so long today, what were you investigating…”

The clothes by the bed were piled up in wrinkles, as if Zhou Yanshu had just changed into his evening clothes. His pants were unbuttoned and pulled down to his ankles, and his shirt was also completely open.

He sat in his wheelchair, bending over with difficulty, his blond hair hanging down to partially cover his bare skin.

When Yu Zhuo pushed open the door, a gust of cold wind blew up, and Zhou Yanshu froze in place. His silver eyes looked through the air and landed on Yu Zhuo's face with an ambiguous expression.

"You..." Yu Zhuo's words immediately stopped. He glanced around and noticed that the guards at the door were also trying to peek inside.

Yu Zhuo stepped to the side to block his view, then quickly turned around, walked in, and slammed the door shut.

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand? You were just seen naked!" Yu Zhuo said to Zhou Yanshu in a low voice, frowning. He pointed outside, his expression not very pleasant.

Zhou Yanshu sat up straight, and said he didn't want the pants that he had already pulled down to his ankles, and looked at Yu Zhuo wearing only his white underwear.

"He's an Omega too, it's nothing to see him like this." Zhou Yanshu said calmly, his eyelashes drooping. "Anyway, it's not the first or second time."

Yuezhuo: "?"

Zhou Yanshu smirked and sighed, "I'm just a paralyzed person, and I'm still at their mercy."

"..." Yu Zhuo stood in front of Zhou Yanshu for a few seconds in silence. He picked up the new clothes from the bedside and handed his phone to Zhou Yanshu. "Give me your contact information."

Zhou Yanshu didn't move, and Yu Zhuo was immediately annoyed. He shoved his phone into Zhou Yanshu's hand and said, "We're at least husband and wife in name now. Am I not more reliable than those other people outside?"

Zhou Yanshu slightly turned his eyes, tapped the phone screen, and asked, "Password?"

"."

Zhou Yanshu: "..."

Zhou Yan unlocked the phone and glanced at the contacts in Yu Zhuo's phone. Besides a few relatives and friends of the Yu family, there was a person at the very bottom whose contact name was a small black heart.

Yu Zhuo must have valued this person highly, as he even set up a special reminder mark for him.

Zhou Yanshu's eyes darkened slightly. He entered his contact information and glanced at Yu Zhuo while filling in the notes: "What should I write?"

Yu Zhuo looked at the screen and said, "I'll write your name."

Add a little heart to someone's contact name, and add their full name to their contact name.

Zhou Yanshu gritted his teeth, his fingertips twitched slightly, and he quickly typed in his name before tossing the phone back to Yu Zhuo.

"All right."

Yu Zhuo took the phone, but without even looking at it, he put it back in his pocket.

Zhou Yanshu's legs were weak, so Yu Zhuo pulled off all the pants that were piled up at his ankles and gave him a new pair.

This time, Zhou Yanshu was unusually cooperative. He put his arm around Yu Zhuo's neck and let Yu Zhuo support his buttocks to help him stand up, and then slowly put on his trousers.

Yu Zhuo knew that Zhou Yanshu had no feeling in his legs. He traced the lines of Zhou Yanshu's legs upwards with his palm and gently touched the cool surface of his skin.

"How was your follow-up appointment at the hospital today?" Yu Zhuo pinched the soft flesh on Zhou Yanshu's thigh, then stopped and asked, "What did the doctor say?"

Zhou Yanshu sat back in his wheelchair and said, "It's alright, there's a chance of recovery in the future."

Yu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief; as long as he could walk again, that was fine.

Zhou Yanshu's glandular atrophy problem could be resolved using the system, but paralysis of both legs was a much bigger undertaking. It would be ideal if the medical facilities of this world could help alleviate his leg pain.

"You went out this afternoon? With Qi Mohan?" Zhou Yanshu asked calmly as he buttoned up his shirt.

“Hmm.” Yu Zhuo sat on the edge of the bed. He felt uncomfortable when he thought of that auction. His gaze flashed over Zhou Yanshu’s legs. “He took me to the underground auction venue.”

He didn't say what he was selling.

Zhou Yanshu could roughly guess what was going on. He sneered, "Qi Mohan helps Tamo do inhuman things; he's no good either. Did he say anything to you?"

"No, they just took me to the auction."

"That old man only dares to scare you." A flash of annoyance crossed Zhou Yanshu's eyes. He asked Yu Zhuo, "Have you had dinner? If not, come with me."

Yu Zhuo: "Not yet."

Zhou Yanshu hummed in agreement. After changing his clothes, he pushed open the door and went out. The servants outside had already prepared the necessary items, and after setting out the food, they consciously withdrew outside the door.

Zhou Yanshu disliked having other people standing next to him while he ate, so he made an excuse to send them all away.

He had planned ahead this time, specifically leaving space for the two of them to be alone.

Having been hungry all day, Yu Zhuo pushed Zhou Yanshu to the dining table and found a seat close to him.
