“Lin An Yuan, don’t come over here, or I’ll have you thrown in jail!”
Ye Yaozu saw the man jump in through the window and scrambled off the kang, only to trip and fall flat on his face right onto Granny Qian.
Lying on the floor, Granny Qian’s eyelids twitched.
Lin An Yuan kicked him, then casually dislocated Ye Yaozu’s other, uninjured arm. “What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
“You…”
“Ah… help…”
A moment later, Ye Yaozu was lying on the floor like a puddle of mud, a piece of a stool leg stuffed in his mouth, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at the man sitting on the chair.
His arm had been dislocated and reset, dislocated and reset. The heart-piercing pain had already made him utterly terrified.
A demon. This man was a demon.
Lin An Yuan lit the oil lamp in the room, found a clean cloth, and slowly wiped his hands, a chilling smile on his face as he looked at the man on the floor.
“Do you regret it? Are you still going to my house to snatch people? Still going to hit my daughters?”
In the dim light, his stunning face looked both demonic and celestial.
Gasping for breath, Ye Yaozu shook his head frantically. “No, mmph, no…”
This wasn’t a person, but a ghost, a ghost in human skin.
Lin An Yuan’s eyes narrowed. “No regrets? You still want to go?”
As his voice fell, he delivered another kick. Ye Yaozu’s newly reset arm was dislocated again, and the wooden gag fell from his mouth.
“No… that’s not right! I regret it, I regret it! I’ll never dare to again! Lin Ye, I’m begging you, please spare me! I’ll stay far away from now on, I’ll never dare to again!”
Ye Yaozu wailed, tears and snot streaming down his face. He scrambled to his knees and kowtowed, blood from his nose mixing with his tears. He was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, this “evil ghost” would dislocate his leg too, and he would be completely crippled.
“Tch, coward,” Lin An Yuan said, his eyes filled with disgust.
Ye Yaozu nodded frantically. “Yes, yes, yes, Lin Ye is right, I’m a coward, a coward! I’ll never dare to again!”
The room reeked of piss and shit. Finding it rather disgusting and feeling he had made his point, Lin An Yuan finally stood up and jumped out through the window.
His face bruised and swollen, Ye Yaozu let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the evil ghost leave. He then lay there in the puddle of urine and passed out completely.
After a while, when the room was completely silent, Granny Qian shakily climbed to her feet.
“That damn beast, my Yao—!”
Before she could finish, a rock flew in from the window and smashed her right in the mouth.
…
…
Ye Wan was dreaming. She dreamt she was back in the apocalypse. She was seen as the hope of all humanity by the other ability users, getting whatever she wanted.
In a daze, she seemed to hear someone enter the room, the sound of footsteps approaching.
Suddenly, the unfamiliar scent of a man filled her nostrils.
Ye Wan’s eyes snapped open. As a reflex, she brought her feet together and kicked, only to have her ankle seized.
The man’s heavy breathing washed over her exposed calf.
Ye Wan struggled but couldn’t break free, goosebumps rising all over her skin. In the faint light, she made out Lin An Yuan’s face and clutched the blanket in her arms tighter.
“What are you doing? I’m not well yet, I can’t consummate the marriage with you!”
If this man decided to use force, given his strength, she might not be able to resist. Her only escape would be her space.
No, she absolutely could not reveal the existence of her space.
Lin An Yuan froze for a second, his gaze in the darkness a mixture of surprise and amusement.
Seeing that he wasn’t letting go, Ye Wan grew anxious. This damn sharp-tongued man, had his brain been taken over by lust?
She quickly added, “Lin An Yuan, let go! Your three daughters are in the next room. It wouldn’t be good if the children heard.”
“What are you screaming about in the middle of the night! Move over, I’m going to sleep!”
Lin An Yuan clicked his tongue and tossed Ye Wan’s legs further into the bed.
Seeing him take off his shoes and start to undress, Ye Wan immediately clutched her blanket and shrank back.
Just as she was about to find something to hit him over the back of the head with, the man turned around as if he had eyes in the back of his head, looking at her with an amused expression.
“What did you think I was going to do? You think I’ve never seen a woman before?”
“Tsk, you’re ugly, but your fantasies are quite beautiful.”
Ye Wan was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses and looked at Lin An Yuan, who was already lying on the kang, she was fuming.
Damn it, you sharp-tongued bastard! What do you mean, ugly? So what if you’re handsome!
“You go sleep on the floor!” Ye Wan gritted out.
Lin An Yuan closed his eyes. “Ugly and brainless too. This is my kang! If anyone’s getting off, it’s you!”
Ye Wan was so angry she could have exploded. Without a moment’s hesitation, she threw down the blanket and prepared to leave.
But Lin An Yuan was blocking the way down. If she wanted to get past, she would have to climb over him.
Of course, she wasn’t going to climb over him, lest the man get narcissistic again and think she was trying to do something.
“Excuse me, could you move?” Ye Wan said through clenched teeth.
A good woman doesn’t fight with a man. She would endure.
Lin An Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Ye Wan, pausing for a moment. A closer look would have revealed a hint of unease in his eyes.
Ye Wan sensed something was off. She looked down and saw that her collar had come open at some point…
Heavens! Strike me with lightning now!
Ye Wan frantically grabbed the nearby blanket to cover herself, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
But just then, the man on the kang rolled over and muttered, “As skinny as a shadow puppet, but they’re pretty big.”
“Lin An Yuan, go to hell!”
She didn’t even get one move in before Ye Wan was pinned to the blanket with a grappling hold, so angry she was practically vibrating.
Ahhh!
If only she had any other ability, she would perform a headshot on the spot. This was too infuriating.
“Mama, I want Mama… Daddy, don’t hit Mama, wuwuwu…”
From the next room, San Ya’s crying suddenly rang out.
Then came Da Ya’s low, coaxing voice, “San Ya, be good, don’t go over there. Daddy isn’t hitting Mama!”
San Ya: “Wuwuwu, then what are they doing? I heard Mama shouting, Mama is being hit.”
Immediately after, Er Ya’s shrill voice yelled, “Alright, stop crying! It’s so noisy! They’re making you a little brother!”
Ye Wan: …
“Lin An Yuan, let go!” Ye Wan’s face turned completely red.
In her past life, her husband had been a fictional character. Although she was usually quite brazen with her words, she had never experienced a situation like this.
“Behave yourself. I’m going to sleep. If you scream again, I’ll gag you and tie you up!”
With that, Lin An Yuan released her, yawned, and lay back down on the kang.
Ye Wan sat on the inner side of the kang, rubbing her sore arm while cursing Lin An Yuan’s entire ancestry in her mind.
Should she wait until Lin An Yuan was asleep tonight, chop him into pieces, and throw him into her space as fertilizer?
It was just a thought. Based on Lin An Yuan’s strength just now, it was uncertain who would kill whom.
After throwing a couple of punches at the air, Ye Wan decisively lay down to sleep.
She had come to terms with reality. If Lin An Yuan really wanted to do something, she was completely powerless to resist.
She could pick a fight with anyone, but not with food and sleep.
In the darkness, Lin An Yuan, who had his back to her, had a faint smile on his lips.
An unknown amount of time passed before Ye Wan was woken by the chirping of birds outside.
She opened her eyes to see that it was already broad daylight.
Turning her head, she saw Lin An Yuan sleeping beside her, the bright light illuminating his handsome, otherworldly face.
Before the apocalypse, she had seen plenty of handsome men. A friend had even hired a popular boy band to dance for her birthday, but she had never seen anyone as ethereally handsome as the man before her.
Even in ragged clothes, his looks were not diminished in the slightest. One glance was enough to make him unforgettable.
Just as Ye Wan was staring blankly, the man on the kang opened his eyes. “Have you seen enough? You’re drooling!”
Ye Wan: …
Just as she was about to retort, a string of curses came from outside.
“Little vixen, I know you’re home! Open the door, open up! Don’t hide in there and pretend you can’t hear me!”
