“The vast horizon is my love, flowers bloom at the foot of the endless green mountains… ”
“Su wei su wei su wei, su wei ge lu wei… ”
“857… 857… ”
In the private swimming pool on the basement level, colorful lights shimmered, and several maids, each wearing a sexy swimsuit, played in the constant-temperature pool and danced, creating quite an appealing scene.
Lin Dong, wearing beach shorts and sunglasses, leaned back on a beach chair, a cigarette in one hand and an ice-cold beer in the other, looking utterly content.
“This is the life a human should live!”
Beside him was Qin Shuyao, who had woken up but dared not enter the water due to pain. She sat in front of the barbecue grill, cooking skewers.
“Ma… Master, the skewers are ready~”
Qin Shuyao’s face was flushed with embarrassment, and she somewhat dared not look Lin Dong directly in the eye.
Lin Dong looked at the few charred skewers in front of him, cold sweat trickling down his back.
“You want to poison me?”
“No… I wouldn’t dare, I’ll grill them again!”
“Forget it, forget it. Looking at you, we’d probably starve all night. Go play, I’ll grill them.”
Taking out new skewers, Lin Dong skillfully sprinkled cumin seasoning and began to grill them.
He had worked as an assistant in a barbecue restaurant before to earn more money, so his movements were quite practiced.
Although the system already had ready-made skewers, grilling them himself was also a kind of enjoyment.
Since the apocalypse, everyone’s nerves, except for Lin Dong, had been incredibly tense. Now that they finally had a chance to relax, the maids were very happy.
Even Jiang Zhu, who had been preoccupied, chose to forget her troubles and competed with Liang Zhihan in holding her breath.
“Hahaha, you lost! I used to be the diving record holder on our team. Even if you’re an Awakened, you’re no match for me!” Liang Zhihan was very proud.
Jiang Zhu refused to admit defeat: “Then let’s see who swims faster?”
“Hmph! Who’s afraid of whom?”
By the pool, Shen Wanyue and Ling Xue were chatting, each holding a cocktail.
“How did you grow like this? They’re practically floating, are they really all-natural?” Shen Wanyue cast an envious look at Ling Xue’s certain 'assets'.
Ling Xue chuckled and patted her chest: “Absolutely all-natural! How could it be fake when Master personally appraised them?”
Shen Wanyue sighed deeply, her expression troubled.
Ling Xue asked in confusion: “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, it’s just… mine hasn’t come yet. I don’t know if it’s delayed, or if I’m…”
Ling Xue’s eyes widened, and she gasped in a low voice: “No way? You’re pregnant? Whose?”
Shen Wanyue smiled bitterly: “It’s not certain yet if I’m pregnant. If I really am, whose do you think it would be?”
She complexly glanced at Lin Dong, who was absorbed in grilling skewers.
Her feelings were in a knot. If she really was pregnant with Lin Dong’s child, then given her and Lin Dong’s current improper relationship, what should she do next?
What if Lin Dong didn’t want it?
Should she abort it?
What if Lin Dong wanted it? Would she then be able to upgrade from maid to mistress?
What if Lin Dong thought she was trying to use the child to gain status and punished her?
What if…
In short, there were too many thoughts.
Ling Xue’s mind was much simpler; she looked at her enviously: “That’s great! I also want to have Master’s child, so I won’t have to worry about being tied up in the bathroom.”
Shen Wanyue: …
Is that all you aspire to?
In fact, none of the women knew that Lin Dong had already turned off the maid conception option; it was impossible for them to get pregnant no matter what.
Qin Shuyao sat by the pool, hugging her knees, lost in thought. One moment she looked at Lin Dong, her face flushed with embarrassment, and the next she lowered her head, her expression complex, clearly in an internal struggle.
The aroma of grilled skewers wafted over, and Lin Dong called out: “Time to eat skewers~”
The maids gathered, their eyes lighting up at the sight of the appealing and fragrant skewers.
“Wow, Master has this skill too?”
“Mm-hmm, delicious!”
“Master is amazing!”
Lin Dong also tasted one himself. It was good; his skill hadn’t diminished.
Jiang Zhu suddenly asked nervously: “Master… it’s so comfortable living here. Can we stay a few more days?”
The other maids also nodded in agreement.
There was electricity here, and it was spacious and clean. Living here was simply too wonderful.
Lin Dong gave her a meaningful smile and instantly understood what Jiang Zhu meant.
She was afraid that when he went to the Xia family next, she wouldn’t know how to face her fiancé.
There was no good solution, so she might as well drag it out for as long as possible.
“Alright, then stay two more days. I’ll also help you all level up.”
Liang Zhihan’s mishap had made him vigilant. The maids’ levels were uneven, making it easy for things to go wrong.
To prevent such possibilities, he could only exhaust his old waist and help them improve further.
The maids immediately cheered with joy. Qin Shuyao, still unclear about these things, asked in confusion: “Leveling up? Do you play games too?”
Ling Xue chuckled and whispered a few words to her, and the beautiful teacher’s face instantly turned crimson.
Letting them enjoy themselves, Lin Dong went out alone to retrieve the RV into the system space.
Just as he was about to close the door and go back to 'work hard', a figure suddenly appeared in the passage created by the RV, stumbling and running towards him.
It was a woman.
The woman was slender and tall, her clothes quite thin, outlining her graceful figure. Her face looked somewhat pale.
Lin Dong narrowed his eyes slightly.
LV5.
Oh, an Awakened has arrived.
Did she come by accident?
Or is she from the Foundation?
The woman was overjoyed when she saw Lin Dong and rushed over.
“Handsome, can you let me in to hide?”
Looking at the woman’s pitiful appearance, Lin Dong revealed a wicked smile and stepped aside.
“Come in!”
The woman thanked him repeatedly and slipped past Lin Dong, her gaze subtly glancing at the fist marks on the door.
“It took several punches to break open the door, so his strength isn’t that great, huh~”
The woman calculated in her mind.
The person who came was, naturally, Jade Maiden, who had tracked him down.
After all, the passage created by the RV was right there, making it too easy to find.
A strong fragrance wafted from the woman as she passed, and Lin Dong sneered, closing the door.
Once you enter my house, it won’t be easy to leave.
Jade Maiden was shocked upon entering the room: “Why is it so warm in here? And there’s electricity?”
Even DJ music was coming from underground.
Is this handsome guy throwing a party?
He sure knows how to have fun!
Lin Dong touched his nose: “Oh, there’s a generator at home, and the air conditioning is on full blast.
By the way, where are you from? Why are you out alone so late at night?”
Jade Maiden bowed deeply to Lin Dong, revealing her impressive cleavage.
“Thank you, handsome. I’m from the next community. The men in our community are killing people indiscriminately. My husband was killed by them, and… and they even tried to insult me. I was terrified and took the opportunity to escape. I found a path here, and that’s why… that’s why…”
As she spoke, her eyes welled up.
Lin Dong considerately patted her back: “Don’t worry, you’re safe here with me. No one will harm you.”
“Thank you… thank you…” Jade Maiden thanked him repeatedly, and then, her legs suddenly giving way, she leaned into Lin Dong’s arms.
“Handsome, I’m out of strength. Can I rest here for the night?”
