Chapter 1272 - 606: Lin Ya and Shen Yunxi

It’s hard to imagine such a knowledgeable beauty, a fashion designer at a big company, can actually cook so well.

Liang Yuan thought that such urban women, who work hard in the workplace, are all strong women.

So when he heard Yang Mei say that, he was naturally surprised.

Lin Ya said embarrassedly, "Before the great flood, I used to like experimenting with food, but it’s not really that good."

Shen Yunxi couldn’t help but pinch her on the butt and quickly said, "Mr. Liang, Lin Ya’s cooking skills are really good, I often go to her place to eat."

"Ever since I tasted her cooking, I don’t go to the cafeteria at the complex anymore."

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and gave Lin Ya a thoughtful look, then glanced at Shen Yunxi.

He smiled and said, "Oh? Well, if there’s a chance, I really must try Miss Lin’s cooking."

"There will certainly be a chance, and right now, it’s almost time for dinner. Lin Ya, you should head to the kitchen and show off your skills to Yang Mei and Mr. Liang."

Shen Yunxi hurriedly urged Lin Ya, who was next to her.

Lin Ya felt a bit embarrassed and quickly held down her arm which was nudging her.

Yang Mei chuckled and said, "Lin Ya, I’ll take you to the kitchen. I’m in a special situation right now and really need someone to help."

"Liang Yuan and the others have been busy lately, and he, a big man, definitely can’t cook as well as we women can."

Lin Ya blushed slightly and said, "Well, I’ll try then. If it’s not good, don’t blame me."

"No, no, it won’t be." Yang Mei said with a smile, taking her to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Shen Yunxi realized that only she and Liang Yuan were left in the living room.

Suddenly, she jumped up and shouted, "I’ll help! I’ll help!"

She dashed to the kitchen, as if afraid that if she stayed with Liang Yuan, she would be eaten by him.

Liang Yuan was quite speechless; this Shen Yunxi was already thirty years old, yet why did she act like a little girl?

Liang Yuan glanced at the kitchen, where the three women were busy inside.

However, the kitchen space was ultimately a bit small.

Perhaps to avoid touching Yang Mei, ultimately Lin Ya asked Yang Mei to leave, leaving her and Shen Yunxi to busy themselves.

Liang Yuan sat on the sofa, eating fruit while watching this scene.

Yang Mei came out of the kitchen, walked to his side, and laughed, saying, "So, seeing two big beauties, are you dazzled?"

Liang Yuan smiled and asked, "When did you get to know the two of them? You seem to have a good relationship."

Yang Mei peeled a grape for him, fed it to his mouth, and laughed, "Lin Ya is also from our Meidu Garden, just next to our building."

"When we were doing a census, I found out that she was actually our neighbor. We had chatted in the owner’s group, but never met face-to-face."

"With this connection, we interacted more afterward."

"It just so happened that she’s a master fashion designer, and I have an interest in that field too, so we got familiar with each other over time."

"As for Yunxi, she has a good relationship with Lin Ya, often dining at her house. In turn, we became familiar as well."

"But their visit this time isn’t just to help me cook as a postpartum caretaker."

Hearing this, Liang Yuan’s eyebrows suddenly raised, and he asked, "Do they need something from you?"

Yang Mei laughed, covering her mouth, "It’s not me they are seeking, it’s you they want help from."

Liang Yuan became interested, "What is it about?"

"Lin Ya’s work at the weapon factory is too heavy. Every piece of armor needs her ’solidification’, and the repetitive mechanical enchantment work is making her feel a bit weary."

"Shen Yunxi advised her to go to the R&D department, which is looking to research and design new type armors, defense equipment."

"Lin Ya not only has the talent of a designer but is also a ’solidification’ superpower user, which makes her quite suitable."

"However, the staffing of the R&D department has always been decided by you personally, so Shen Yunxi encouraged Lin Ya to come to me."

"When she heard I was looking for a postpartum caretaker to cook, Shen Yunxi immediately said Lin Ya could cook and encouraged Lin Ya to come as a caretaker."

Liang Yuan realized, only then understanding why Lin Ya and Shen Yunxi were there.

Why Lin Ya would apply for the position of a postpartum caretaker.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "What’s your opinion?"

Yang Mei instantly showed a smile. Don’t underestimate this as just a casual inquiry.

Given Liang Yuan’s status today, he could completely decide Lin Ya’s future with a word.

Yet he chose to ask Yang Mei first, which meant she held a place in his heart.

Yang Mei, in her early pregnancy, was sensitive and easily swayed by emotions.

That casual question from Liang Yuan moved her deeply.

Her beautiful eyes glistened, and she said, "I’m familiar with Lin Ya’s cooking, and it’s really good, very healthy too."

"There shouldn’t be any problems with the cooking. It’s just that you might not be used to it."

Liang Yuan slightly shook his head and said, "We don’t mind; the focus is on your dietary needs at home for now."

Yang Mei was even more touched. After thinking it over, she said, "I think it’s a good idea."

"Lin Ya’s cooking style is quite different from mine. Her dishes are more lightly seasoned, using fewer condiments; perhaps because she’s from the south."

"She emphasizes more on the original flavor of the food, which I think is quite suitable for my current situation."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan nodded and said, "Alright then, let’s have her stay."

"No rush, let her finish today’s meal and have a taste first," Yang Mei said with a smile.

Liang Yuan also smiled, exchanged a few words with her, and said, "I’ll go to my room to handle some work; you can chat with them, otherwise, I noticed Yunxi seemed too scared to leave the kitchen."

Yang Mei had long noticed Shen Yunxi’s apprehension towards Liang Yuan.

She couldn’t help but be curious and asked, "Shen Yunxi is usually quite bold; why does she act like a mouse seeing a cat around you?"

Liang Yuan chuckled, "When I caught her initially, my methods were a bit extreme, perhaps leaving her with some trauma."

Yang Mei understood; she was aware of Shen Yunxi and Lin Ya’s backgrounds.

The tale of the all-female ship was incredible when she first heard it.

Since the apocalyptic flood, she mostly witnessed situations where women were bullied.

It’s the first time I’ve seen a woman capable of this extent.

In her heart, she even admired that woman named Leng Yuehua a little.

Unfortunately, she is an enemy of my little brother.

Liang Yuan returned to the bedroom and sat cross-legged on the bed.

He closed his eyes, sensing the parasite species his spiritual power had dispersed into his mind.

Seeing Lin Ya and Shen Yunxi earlier, he suddenly thought of that woman named Leng Yuehua.

This woman was severely injured by him and then imprisoned on President No. 7.

But Lin Ya and Shen Yunxi secretly released Leng Yuehua, Liu Sisi, Zhou Tiantian, Hei Lan, and other high-ranking personnel of the Queen.

Among these people, only Leng Yuehua and Liu Sisi had the parasite species implanted in them by him.

According to his estimate at the time, even though they escaped from President No. 7, once the parasite species lost his control, they would germinate.

Then these two would surely die without a doubt.

But after so long, Liang Yuan suddenly remembered that he seemed not to have sensed the activity of these two parasite species.

You see, after the parasite species germinates, blooms, and bears fruit, it forms a fruit that can provide a large amount of pure superpower energy, life essence, and other substances.

And once the parasite species bears fruit, it will completely sever ties with him, and he will lose that portion of his spiritual power.

However, if he consumes the fruit from the parasite species, not only can he regain this spiritual power, but he can also significantly enhance his spiritual power and physical attributes.

As of now, though, Liang Yuan has not felt a depletion of his spiritual power.

This suddenly gave him an uneasy premonition.

At this moment, while sensing with closed eyes, the aura of each host of the parasite species was reflected in his sea of consciousness.

These auras varied in distance.

A far one, like Li Qinghua, was in Yellow Earth Divine Origin.

A near one, like Tu Long, was at Yangshan.

As well as the captains brought back from Mist City, the aura of the parasite species within their bodies also surfaced one by one in Liang Yuan’s sea of consciousness.

Liang Yuan inspected each one, and his expression gradually became grave.

Indeed, among the numerous parasite species, there were two that he had not sensed for a long time!

Liang Yuan furrowed his brow: "What’s going on? These two aren’t dead?"

"That shouldn’t be the case, if they weren’t dead, the parasite species should have germinated and bloomed."

"If these two were dead, this portion of my spiritual power would be lost."

"But now, my spiritual power hasn’t diminished, nor have I sensed the existence of the parasite species, could it be that they have a way to solve the parasite species?"

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan’s expression slightly darkened.

It’s not impossible, ever since he came into contact with superpowers, Liang Yuan understood one thing.

In this world, there’s no superpower that is absolutely invincible.

No matter how strong the superpower is, it will have weaknesses and flaws, and can also be restrained by other superpowers.

The parasite species’ amazing ability can easily manipulate others.

But the world is vast and full of wonders, it’s not impossible that there’s something in this world that can restrain the parasite species’ superpower.

Liang Yuan’s heart sank slightly, recalling the woman named Leng Yuehua.

With her personality, if she had really unlocked the parasite species, she would definitely come to seek revenge against him.

So what is she up to now?

Liang Yuan became cautious, given the woman’s insane determination, if she couldn’t deal with him, she would likely target the people around him.

"The ones around me are Sister Mei and the others."

"Looks like I’ll have to enhance their superpowers swiftly."

Naturally, Liang Yuan couldn’t always stay by their side.

Among his women, Ding Yan led the patrol team, guarding Meishan, which was not much of a worry.

Song Wen worked at the Department of Agriculture, interacting with plants every day and rarely leaving Yangshan, ensuring safety.

No need to mention Dong Yan, she now had Black Gold Giant Ape, Black Stone Ant Queen, and other mutant beasts by her side, enough to form an army by herself.

Only Yang Mei’s side hadn’t seen a power increase, and now being pregnant, she could likely become an easy target.

I must strengthen her protection.

Lin Ya and Shen Yunxi’s strengths are decent, and they have some rapport with Leng Yuehua.

Having them stay by Yang Mei’s side is probably a good choice.

With this thought, Liang Yuan had already made a decision in his heart.

Lin Ya could stay, not only to protect Yang Mei but also to handle situations if they encounter Leng Yuehua’s people.

"I should leave a few experts by Sister Mei’s side too."

He thought to himself.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a hesitant knocking at the door.

Liang Yuan opened his eyes, walked to the door, and opened it.

He saw Shen Yunxi standing at the door, looking nervous. As the door suddenly opened, she was startled.

She quickly retreated a few steps, her large chest wobbled, catching much attention.

Liang Yuan averted his gaze and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Uh, um, the meal is ready, time to eat."

After she spoke, she quickly turned and ran to the kitchen, shouting, "I’ll serve the dishes, let me."

Liang Yuan smiled and followed her out.
