Wu Xian woke up from sleep, opened his eyes, subconsciously looked at the side, but found that the pillowside was empty.
And as he saw the traces of disarray on the bed and around the room, images from last night automatically flooded his mind, filled with allure and madness.
To be honest, suggesting that Zhan Lan exchange the ability of self-healing factors was truly a wise choice.
Otherwise, if a woman who has not been reinforced is exchanged, it is still unlikely that she can withstand such a hassle, let alone leave this room on the second day.
"By the way, isn't she back in her room again now? This scene... it's like having that gut-wrenching feeling of being abandoned by a heartbreaker."
While thinking this, Wu Xian suddenly moved his expression, as if he had discovered something. A hint of surprise appeared on his face.
But soon, he got up and laughed off the bed, wearing his pajama pants carelessly and walked out of the bedroom barefoot.
As previously mentioned, the oceanfront mansion that Wu Xian had imagined was quite large, with each floor exceeding 1,000 square meters. As a result, after leaving the bedroom, he walked for several minutes before reaching his destination.
In his gaze, a figure appeared in the kitchen, seemingly busy with arguing with the stove.
Without a doubt, the owner of this figure is not Zhan Lan, but who else could it be?
At this moment, she was no longer dressed as a warrior goddess in armor, but was merely wearing a white shirt from his closet, intently preparing breakfast.
The sandpot on the electric stove was slightly agitated, releasing an inviting aroma. At the same time, simulated sunlight outside the oceanfront mansion was also pouring in through the glass, casting a gentle and beautiful outline of her form, making the early morning kitchen incredibly serene and peaceful.
Suddenly, Zhan Lan turned her face to find him, the rosy and radiant face as if sprinkled with fresh flowers, displaying a tranquil smile: "Woke up."
Wu Xian smiled and sized her up for a moment, pausing especially long over the absolute domain and the deep ravines, before stepping forward and extending his hands to envelop her in a hug. His voice was soft and low as he said, "Why did you get up so early."
"I couldn't sleep well, so I got up to make some food."
Feeling the intimate gestures of Wu Xian, Zhan Lan's face turned slightly red, as if she had recalled what happened last night. Her voice trembled with a hint of quiver.
"Hungry? I made congee with century egg and lean pork; it'll be ready to drink in a bit."
"Pork and century egg congee... Ah, I see, you've finally extended your reach to include duck eggs after eggs."
Wu Xian lightly teased, successfully earning a small fist to the chest.
Of course, for Wu Xian, with Zhan Lan's current physical condition, if she had not deliberately controlled her strength, that punch could have knocked a burly man into tears for a long time.
After another round of playful banter filled with sourness, the congee made with century egg and lean pork was finally ready, along with a few other exquisite breakfast items obtained from the main god.
The two of them took these to the living room. Wu Xian also let Friday project a romantic comedy film with good ratings in the future. So they ate while watching, really feeling like a couple living together.
After more than half an hour, the movie was only halfway through. Laughter had made Zhan Lan's stomach ache, so she proactively leaned against Wu Xian's thigh, her head and shoulders occasionally moving up and down. If anyone saw them, they might have thought they were doing something inappropriate in broad daylight.
"Pfft! Disgusting!"
Feeling the scorching heat just inches away, Zhan Lan spat and her face flushed red, intending to get up and leave.
But the next second, a warm hand landed on the back of her head.
...
An hour later, it was around nine o'clock in the morning. Besides Wu Xian and Zhan Lan, all other members of the Zhongzhou Team had arrived at the main god hall for their first gathering since their return.
Without a doubt, upon seeing the appearance of the golden stone tablet, everyone was taken aback. When they saw the team battle rules written on it and the warning from the previous generation of Zhongzhou Team members, a look of seriousness appeared on their faces, and the joy from their abundant harvest in the alien world faded by half.
In this way, after each other had finished greeting, with their hearts full of thoughts, the crowd sat down on the sofas in the hall, maintaining a state of silence for a long time. The atmosphere gradually became awkward.
To everyone's surprise, it was Chu Xuan, the poker-faced man, who broke the eerie atmosphere first at this moment, beginning to recount the origins of the golden stone tablet's appearance.
Then, he further questioned Zheng Zha and the other experienced ones about their bloodline enhancements and equipment skills obtained, and then put forward his own discoveries about the main god space.
Due to Wu Xian's premature spoilers, this time Chu Xuan did not bring out the original theory of producing guards, but expressed a great interest in the exchange conditions for returning to the previous world.
"Click!"
Just then, the sound of the door opening came from the direction of his own room. Looking over, they saw Wu Xian standing at the doorway, saying "Good morning" as he walked out with Zhan Lan, whose cheeks still had a hint of redness.
"Oh, this..."
Looking at this scene, Zheng Zha felt it was strikingly familiar. After a careful recollection, he realized, this is exactly the same as the scene he saw the morning after he created Luo Li!
Of course, there are still some differences. The last time was Wu Xian coming out of Zhan Lan's room, while this time it is Wu Xian pulling Zhan Lan out of his own room...
Wait! Pulling!
Zheng Zha widened his eyes, looking at the intertwined fingers of the two, feeling as if he had discovered a significant detail.
"Ha ha! Captain! I see, you have no excuse this time!"
Zheng Zha patted the armrest of the sofa and laughed excitedly, as if he had discovered a century-old news. It made Wu Xian quite speechless.
What the hell are you laughing at!?
Know what? In another timeline, you and Zhan Lan are what? As I approximate, it's like putting a green hat on you across parallel worlds. Can you believe it?
"Cough cough..."
Wu Xian placed a hand over his mouth and coughed, then said confidently in the presence of everyone's sly and curious glances, "That's right, as you can see, the revolutionary friendship between Zhan Lan and me has been slightly elevated last night. So from today on, you can address her as Captain's wife."
"Of course, it's not a problem not to call her like that. But you all must treat her with the same respect and care as I do, understand!"
"Understood!"
As soon as the words fell, Zheng Zha was the first to agree, followed by a hearty laugh.
Without exception, except for Chu Xuan, others including Zero also followed suit, causing Zhan Lan's face to flush even more. As she tightly squeezed the soft flesh of Wu Xian's waist with one hand while using mental force to lift Zheng Zha's sofa with the other.
A short while later, the joyful farce came to an end. Wu Xian held Zhan Lan's waist and sat on the sofa symbolizing the "team captain's chair", his gaze sweeping over the members of Zhongzhou Team, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"All right, as per custom, next comes a report of everyone's gains from the horror movie. This time, I'll go first."
