Lu Yun pondered silently.
He knew very well that although he had married eighteen female special forces soldiers, there was no way they would allow him to touch them.
As for joining an all-female special forces unit and living with them day and night, the chances were practically nonexistent.
“Lu Yun.”
A cold voice interrupted his thoughts.
Looking up, he saw Ye Cunxin walking down from the second floor.
“Come upstairs.”
Without waiting for his reply, she turned and headed back up.
Lu Yun remained calm, stood up, and followed her.
The second floor also had a spacious living room.
All eighteen women had gathered there.
They had changed out of their formal wedding attire and into military tank tops.
Dressed casually, they looked just like ordinary young women—except that their naturally heroic bearing and the toned physiques forged through years of rigorous training made them exceptionally attractive.
Each of them sat on a sofa or chair.
Hearing his footsteps, they all looked up, their expressions calm as they watched him.
Seeing the scene before him, Lu Yun couldn’t help feeling a headache coming on.
It wasn’t that he was intimidated.
He simply thought this was going to be troublesome.
“Is there something you wanted to discuss?”
Lu Yun spoke first, casually pulling over a chair and sitting down.
Long Xiaoyun stood up and moved to the sofa opposite him.
As a high-ranking female officer—and captain of the Wolf Warrior Special Forces—her expression was cold and stern, radiating authority.
She looked nothing like a newlywed wife.
The others also stared at Lu Yun without expression.
The atmosphere in the room felt heavy.
Long Xiaoyun spoke first.
“Lu Yun, we’d like to have a talk with you.”
Lu Yun nodded.
“Sure. Go ahead.”
Long Xiaoyun said calmly,
“We accepted the order to marry you, but to us, this marriage is simply another mission.”
“So don’t have any unrealistic expectations.”
Lu Yun smiled.
He had expected as much, so he wasn’t angry.
After all, they had been complete strangers before today.
Anyone would have trouble suddenly accepting someone as a spouse.
“You don’t need to worry.”
“I’ve probably slept with more beautiful women than you’ve ever even met.”
He shrugged as if it were no big deal.
Outwardly, he appeared completely indifferent.
Inwardly, however, he could only sigh helplessly.
The truth was that, both before and after his rebirth, he had remained a virgin.
He had never “played around” with beautiful women.
He had only said that to dampen their arrogance.
After all, he was their husband in name.
How could he allow himself to be pushed around so easily?
As for obeying them without question and treating them with complete deference…
Sorry.
That simply wasn’t in Lu Yun’s nature.
“You…!”
“Hmph. Just what you’d expect from the Capital’s Number One Playboy.”
As expected, the women’s expressions darkened.
Although none of them wanted to be Lu Yun’s wife, hearing him claim that other women were even more beautiful still irritated them.
After all…
They were women too.
Fortunately, they quickly regained their composure.
Ye Cunxin, who had remained calm from the very beginning, continued,
“According to our orders, we’ll be responsible for protecting your safety.”
“But since you’re inside the military district, you don’t need constant protection.”
“So we won’t accompany you everywhere.”
“Only when you leave the base.”
“No problem.”
Lu Yun agreed immediately.
An Ran, wearing shorts that revealed her long, fair legs crossed together, added,
“Also, when we’re training or carrying out missions, you’re not allowed to bother us.”
Tang Xinyi tucked her short hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate ear before saying,
“And we won’t be living together with you.”
“You’d better understand that.”
Lu Yun simply nodded again.
“I understand.”
After that, the women exchanged glances.
No one else had anything to add.
Long Xiaoyun finally asked,
“Do you have any requests?”
Lu Yun shook his head.
“No.”
The women were surprised.
They had expected him to make outrageous demands.
Instead, he had raised no objections from beginning to end.
“Very well.”
Long Xiaoyun stood.
“You may leave now.”
Lu Yun also rose to his feet.
Without the slightest hesitation or lingering attachment, he turned and walked away.
Bang.
The door closed behind him.
Inside the room, the women looked at one another.
The cold expressions they had maintained finally relaxed.
Several of them let out long sighs of relief.
Lin Xiaoying gave a soft snort.
“At least he knows his place.”
“He didn’t push his luck.”
Du Feifei leaned her head against Lin Xiaoying’s shoulder and sighed.
“He’s just a spoiled playboy.”
“Now he’s fallen so far that he has to rely on us for protection.”
“Do you really think he’d dare push his luck?”
“Exactly.”
“You all don’t need to worry so much.”
“We’ll just take things one step at a time.”
Xia Lan casually flipped her long hair back before stretching lazily.
“It’s finally vacation.”
“I’m going to catch up on some sleep.”
“Let’s go.”
“Back to our rooms.”
…
First Floor Living Room
Lu Yun sat alone on the sofa, thinking carefully about his plans.
The first priority was obvious.
He had countless enemies outside.
Many people wanted nothing more than to step on him—
Some even wanted him dead.
This wasn’t paranoia.
There were genuinely many people who wanted to kill him.
For the time being, staying inside the military district was the safest option.
Leaving now would only invite trouble.
The real problem, however, was how to get himself assigned to the Fire Phoenix Special Forces.
According to his family’s arrangements, he was supposed to enlist in a different military district.
Ding-dong.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Looking puzzled, Lu Yun got up and opened the front door.
Standing outside were Fan Tianlei and Lei Zhan.
