Under the flickering dim light.
Lin Lang climbed the wooden ladder.
From the first floor, up to the second, then to the third.
Standing at the bedroom door.
Only to see a blood-red "Forbidden" written on the door!
"Things are getting more and more strange..."
Lin Lang felt a sinking feeling and pushed the door open.
But everything before him.
Made his face change!
The once creamy, girlish-style bedroom.
Had now turned into a dilapidated temple!
Where the valuable princess bed used to be placed.
Now stood a massive vermilion coffin!
Gloomy!
Oppressive!
Lin Lang took a step closer.
Bam!
The coffin lid suddenly exploded off!
Then!
A little zombie in a blue official robe, red-plumed official hat, with a long braid, jumped out!
"Hmm?"
Lin Lang frowned.
Seeing the little zombieâs face ghostly pale!
With exaggerated blush on her cheeks!
Especially notable was a talisman stuck to her forehead.
"Awooo!"
She stretched out her arms, hopping towards Lin Lang!
Lin Lang extended a finger, pressing it against her forehead.
"Awooo!"
She flailed with her teeth bared.
But couldnât approach any closer!
Lin Lang calmly said:
"How come thereâs even a zombie now?"
Xu Xingyao was disappointed, pouting:
"So annoying! Why arenât you even a bit scared? I worked so hard to set up this illusion..."
Lin Lang sat on the "coffin".
Pulled her over into his lap:
"Your illusion technique is too crude, it needs refinement."
"Grr! Bite you!"
Lin Lang neither dodged nor evaded.
Letting her little mouth bite his neck.
Yet he activated his ability.
To dissipate her illusionâ
The supposed temple and coffin shattered like foam!
The once creepy abandoned temple.
Reverted instantly to a powdery pink girlish bedroom.
The lights brightened.
But the "little zombie" remained a "little zombie".
Because it was her makeup.
Not an illusionâ
Xu Xingyao realized, no matter how she bit, Lin Lang clearly felt no pain!
But she cared too much, not daring to bite too hard.
Lost her enthusiasm at once.
Had to let go.
Leaving a small circle of saliva and tooth marks on Lin Langâs neck.
She sheepishly wiped Lin Lang with her sleeve, saying:
"So, how should I improve it?"
Lin Lang replied:
"Werenât you biting? Keep going then..."
"Ah? Uhhhâ"
...
"I canât do it anymore!"
The little zombie rolled her eyes.
Lost all her strength, went limp on the bed.
Sticking out her pink tongue like a puppy.
Breathing heavily.
Lin Lang got playful.
Gently tugged her little tongue, asking:
"Are you bored staying here alone?"
If she was bored.
He could take her to Xingfu District.
Though 2102 definitely couldnât fit her.
But with so many dead at Xingfu District, there were lots of empty rooms.
He could surely find her a place to stay.
"Hmm... not really bored, Iâm still making short videos! My followers have increased a lot!"
She said proudly.
Lin Lang just nodded perfunctorily:
"Thatâs good then."
Though itâs the end of the world now, having followers is useless.
But itâs a form of mental support.
Anyway.
If sheâs comfortable living here.
No need to move her around.
But Xu Xingyao pouted again:
"The way youâre asking, does that mean you never follow me in the short videos?"
"Uh... weâre so familiar, is there still a need to follow?"
Lin Lang dodged the question.
But Xu Xingyao was already searching for his phone:
"Even a treasure girl like me you donât follow, letâs see who you are following!"
Clicked into it:
Forging contests, Oddy Bua Banana, Survival in the Wild, Hoof Trimming...
"Uh..."
Xu Xingyao was resigned.
Yet slyly added her name to Lin Langâs follow list!
But her little move couldnât escape Lin Langâs eyes!
To punish her.
Lin Lang transformed again into the Zombie Knight!
Waged battle on the field!
...
Busy until the afternoon.
The little zombie couldnât hop anymore.
Lin Lang carried her to the bathroom to remove her makeup.
The little zombie immediately turned back into a pure little fairy.
"Time to eat."
Didnât Shen Chuchu return a lot of lobsters and abalones to Lin Lang last time?
Lin Lang came this time.
This is also to let Xu Xingyao have a taste.
Although before the apocalypse, Xu Xingyao was a little rich woman, and these things were definitely nothing special to her!
But times have changed.
Nowadays, people are struggling to even fill their stomachs.
Let alone such luxurious seafood...
"Wow!"
As expected!
The moment the lobster was served!
Xu Xingyaoâs eyes lit up:
"You still have lobster?!"
Lin Lang replied calmly:
"Caught it on the road."
Speaking of which.
There should be a river near the Jiangbei Villa District!
Since the apocalypse descended.
Lin Lang hadnât had fresh meat in a long time.
If possible.
Heâd love to catch some seafood from that river to eat.
...
"Hmm! Such delicious seafood, if it werenât the apocalypse now, I would definitely post a video!"
Xu Xingyao said as she ate.
"Oh? Why canât you post it now?"
Lin Lang asked.
"Because people out there are all starving, if I flaunt these big meals online, wouldnât that make them feel worse..."
Xu Xingyao said.
"True enough..."
Lin Lang, however, curled his lipsâ
He used to show off his supplies in the ownersâ group of Xingfu District.
No wonder their reactions were so intense back then!
But.
After he recruited Gu Fei, Ning Shuangyu, LĂŒ Su Ran, and Tang Lingyu.
The goddess resources of the community were completely mined by Lin Lang.
He stopped posting ads like "food and accommodation included" in the group.
But!
Even though the resources of Xingfu District have been exhausted.
Thereâs still plenty of resources elsewhere!
So far, Lin Lang has only recruited Xu Xingyao and Leng Wei!
Although he already has many women.
But thatâs far from the limit!
Lin Lang decidedâ
To keep digging!
So he said to Xu Xingyao:
"You should still make a video and send it to me."
"Okay!"
Xu Xingyao obediently used Lin Langâs phone to shoot a simple video.
Lin Lang posted it on his short video account with the caption:
[Just a simple lunch]
[Sheltering girls, food, and accommodation included, interested parties private message]
Sent!
Then, he didnât pay it any more attention.
...
After finishing the seafood feast.
Xu Xingyao said she wanted to go out for a walk.
Most likely since the apocalypse.
She, like most people, had been stuck indoors and never stepped outside!
Itâs quite pitiable.
So Lin Lang agreed to take her out.
Even though the red mist lingered here.
There wasnât much to see.
So they just wandered around.
Xu Xingyao hooked Lin Langâs arm, her steps light.
At this moment, the two.
Resembled those young couples strolling on the campus track at night.
They didnât chat.
But felt excitement, felt sweetness...
Not long after walking, Xu Xingyao spotted a fierce beast from afar.
She softly exclaimed and said to Lin Lang:
"Right! I forgot to tell you!"
"Ever since you left last time, there have been several fierce beasts wandering around the villa, quite intimidating!"
"Look! That one too!"
Lin Lang looked up.
It was one of the fierce beasts heâd subdued with the "Beast Taming Technique."
It was used to protect Xu Xingyao.
Lin Lang said:
"You need not fear them, not only will they not harm you, but they will even protect you."
"Huh? Protect me? Why?"
Xu Xingyao seemed to hear something unbelievable!
After all!
Itâs known on the internet that fierce beasts are ruthless and consume humans!
Lin Lang, however, said:
"Because I am their master, and you are my woman."
"Really!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyao visibly beamed with joyâ
Not because she had beast protection.
But because Lin Lang acknowledged her as his woman!
She happily said:
"Iâll feed them from now on, anyway, youâve given me lots of supplies, I canât finish it all by myself, Iâll prepare a few little nests for them..."
Lin Lang said:
"Absolutely not."
"Huh? Why?"
Lin Lang said seriously:
"They are essentially not pets, but fierce beasts!"
"Just treat them as tools."
"Donât invest too much emotion in them."
Fierce beasts are just that, fierce.
They protect Xu Xingyao only because they yield to Lin Langâs "Beast Kingâs Majesty"!
Not because they are inherently kind!
No one can guarantee they will never betray their master!
In any case!
Keeping a distance from them is the wisest move!
Unless!
Itâs like Xiaohu, hatched and fed by Lin Lang himself, who knows each other well.
Only then can there be some intimacy!
"Okay!" Xu Xingyao nodded, "I understand!"
