Su Mu and Ling Wei returned to the base. After briefly reporting the specific situation, they went back to their quarters. Su Mu looked at Ling Wei’s still-worried expression with heartache; she used her superpower to condense some water for Ling Wei, letting her wash up and go to rest.
In the evening, Su Mu was still worried about Ling Wei. She pushed open Ling Wei’s door and found that she indeed hadn’t slept; she was just sitting quietly on the bed. She seemed to be thinking of something unpleasant, her face covered in a layer of frost.
“Weiwei, so many things happened today, I think I’ll have nightmares. Can I sleep with you?” Feeling Ling Wei’s cold gaze, Su Mu talked nonsense with a serious face.
“……” If I hadn’t seen you blowing off zombies’ heads without even blinking these past few days, I might actually believe you.
“Believe me.” Ignoring Ling Wei’s strange look, Su Mu bought the skill [Freely Retractable] from the system, looking at Ling Wei with teary eyes.
“Okay…” Seeing Su Mu’s expressionless face but moist eyes, Ling Wei didn’t know what to say. Can’t you be a bit more professional if you’re going to act? However, seeing that Su Mu had gone to such lengths, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse and agreed.
“System, negative review!” Seeing Ling Wei’s expression, Su Mu knew the performance had collapsed; her image was probably gone.
Once Su Mu got into bed, she immediately hugged Ling Wei. Feeling the long-lost warmth and softness, she gave a satisfied sigh. Indeed, having a wife is great.
Seeing Su Mu hugging her, Ling Wei originally wanted to scold her and tell her to let go, but seeing her satisfied expression, she couldn’t bear to do it. The hand that intended to push her away instead followed the momentum to hug Su Mu back, snuggling quietly in Su Mu’s arms.
Ling Wei thought she would spend the night thinking about many things and was preparing to ask Su Mu some questions, but she ended up falling asleep in a daze.
The next day, Su Mu woke up and found her wife sleeping obediently in her arms. She was in a great mood. Looking at Ling Wei’s face, the more she looked, the more she liked it. Su Mu started by looking seriously, but later, with the soft fragrance and warm jade in her arms, her thoughts slowly went astray.
The hand holding Ling Wei started to move restlessly, moving up along the waistline. She noticed Ling Wei’s eyelashes tremble, but she didn’t open her eyes. Su Mu took this as tacit consent for her actions, and her hand became even more bold as it reached inside.
Ling Wei had actually woken up when Su Mu did, but seeing that Su Mu had no reaction, she wanted to see what she intended to do. As a result, she felt Su Mu’s hand start to move improperly. she moved slightly, wanting to warn her to move away quickly to avoid embarrassment, but Su Mu became even more aggressive. Feeling Su Mu’s hand enter and stroke her, Ling Wei felt a strange yet seemingly familiar sensation sweep through her body, suppressing the urge to moan out loud.
Seeing that her actions were already so bold and yet Ling Wei still hadn’t opened her eyes, Su Mu raised an eyebrow. It seems my little wife is quite good at enduring? Her lips began to move down, licking and biting at Ling Wei’s neck. With a slight pressure of her lips, a red mark appeared on Ling Wei’s neck, and Ling Wei couldn’t control a soft moan.
Ling Wei opened her eyes and glared at Su Mu, but that slightly misty gaze was only a “sweet injury” to Su Mu, making the desire in Su Mu’s heart even stronger. Seeing the change in Su Mu’s eyes, Ling Wei directly flipped over and pinned Su Mu beneath her.
“What are you doing?” Taking the opportunity while pinning Su Mu down, Ling Wei secretly steadied her breathing, not wanting Su Mu to sense her disordered breath.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Seeing Ling Wei pinning her down, Su Mu didn’t resist and replied teasingly.
“….” So how can this person be so righteous after secretly flirting with someone?
Hearing Su Mu’s answer, Ling Wei was annoyed. Kneeling on either side of Su Mu’s lower abdomen, she slowly leaned down, wanting to give Su Mu a lesson.
As Ling Wei pressed her lips against Su Mu’s, she observed Su Mu’s reaction, finding that her smile remained unchanged. Ling Wei couldn’t help but feel a sense of frustration. She simply let herself go and bit down on Su Mu’s neck. Hearing Su Mu’s soft cry of pain, she slowly changed to licking. Before she had time to feel proud, she was flipped back over by Su Mu.
…
“Eat your food, what are you looking at!” Seeing Su Mu staring at her constantly, Ling Wei couldn’t help but feel shy and spoke out in embarrassed anger.
“Mm, you’re beautiful,” Su Mu teased, seeing Ling Wei’s embarrassed state. Thinking of this morning, she very much hoped a few more zombies would appear so she could be “scared” into sharing a bed with her wife again. Thinking of the morning’s events, a dark light flickered in her eyes.
Seeing Su Mu’s gaze and thinking about how she almost lost her “purity” this morning, Ling Wei felt frustrated. Why is this person… why is she so experienced? At the thought that she might have liked someone else before, Ling Wei got angry. She tore a piece of bread and put it in her mouth, treating the bread as Su Mu and biting it hard.
Seeing Ling Wei’s fierce look toward the bread, Su Mu unconsciously felt intimidated. She completely failed to detect Ling Wei’s train of thought, assuming she was still mad about the morning. She could only start eating her breakfast dejectedly, peeking at Ling Wei every now and then.
Ling Wei: So why is she putting on the look of a wronged little wife? I really want to hit someone…!
The people at the base had researched the mutated zombies and planned to send a few strong individuals back to the place where the zombies were discovered to check again. Both Su Mu and Ling Wei were on the list, and because Jiang Mingkai had awakened dual-system powers, he served as the captain.
Looking at the red marks on Su Mu and Ling Wei’s necks, Jiang Mingkai’s gaze suddenly became weird. He looked at Su Mu as if he had seen a ghost.
Sensing Jiang Mingkai’s gaze, Su Mu said something to Ling Wei and then walked over to Jiang Mingkai, using teleportation to take him to a remote spot.
“Do you like my wife?” Seeing Jiang Mingkai’s complicated expression, Su Mu decided to kindly tell him the truth.
“Yes…” Hearing Su Mu’s words and connecting them to the hickey on Ling Wei’s neck, Jiang Mingkai felt a phantom pain in his kidneys. He felt like his first love had withered before it even bloomed.
Su Mu observed Jiang Mingkai for a while and found that he wasn’t a bad person, just a bit stubborn. So she decided to lay her cards on the table. If he was sensible, then so be it; if not, he couldn’t blame her for being heartless.
“But I won’t do anything to destroy someone’s relationship,” Jiang Mingkai said honestly, sensing Su Mu’s searching gaze and sighing as he mourned his unbudded love.
“Mm.” Hearing Jiang Mingkai’s answer, Su Mu didn’t stay any longer. She turned around to find Ling Wei.
On the other side, Ling Wei saw Su Mu coming over in a seemingly good mood to hold her hand, while Jiang Mingkai looked as listless as an eggplant hit by frost. Although she found it strange, Ling Wei didn’t ask what Su Mu had done; she glanced at Jiang Mingkai and withdrew her gaze.
“System, open the Mall.” Su Mu felt that this search mission would definitely not be simple and planned to prepare in advance.
Seeing that the nutrient solution obtained from killing monsters these past few days was enough to sustain her powers for quite a while, Su Mu went to the mall. She bought a water-system short blade and several element balls, and equipped a few protective shields for good measure.
Having prepared everything, Su Mu looked at Ling Wei’s profile with a determined gaze. Wife, I will definitely protect you.
“Everyone, stay safe. Something isn’t right here.” Jiang Mingkai arrived at the place where Su Mu had been ambushed. Finding no abnormalities, he continued forward. Upon reaching the entrance of a village, he noticed something strange and called out a warning.
“Weiwei, be careful.” Su Mu also sensed that something was wrong and gripped Ling Wei’s hand tightly.
“Mm.” Ling Wei said nothing, her mind highly concentrated to avoid a repeat of the previous sneak attack by a zombie.
“Host, be careful! There is an illusion here!” The system detected that the village’s magnetic field was different from other places and discovered it was artificially created, so it warned Su Mu.
“Okay.”
“Everyone watch out, there’s an illusion in this village. Be careful not to be deceived,” Su Mu spoke up to tell Jiang Mingkai and the others about the anomaly.
Upon entering the village, zombies began to appear one after another. At first, the group handled them with ease, but the zombies gradually became more numerous. Aside from Jiang Mingkai, Su Mu, and Ling Wei, whose powers could still hold out, the powers of the others were being continuously depleted. Even more terrifyingly, they discovered their powers were draining away invisibly.
“System, can you break this illusion?” Su Mu also noticed the problem. Seeing more and more zombies, she spoke to the system.
Because there were simply too many zombies, and these zombies seemed to be sentient—intentionally trying to separate Su Mu from Jiang Mingkai and the others—the group was accidentally scattered.
“System, hurry up.” Seeing that Ling Wei was nowhere to be found, Su Mu’s internal irritability and anxiety began to intensify, and she couldn’t help but urge the system.
“Understood, Host.” Hearing Su Mu’s words, the system accelerated the cracking process.
Just then, Su Mu saw Ling Wei’s shadow. She sped up to run toward Ling Wei, stepping forward to grab her hand. As Ling Wei turned her head, Su Mu suddenly plunged a dagger into her body.
Seeing Ling Wei’s surprised and pained expression, Su Mu curled her lips into a localized, eerie smile. The aura around her suddenly became dark and oppressive.
