Mu Xiao finished washing up quickly, feeling refreshed and invigorated all over, the only thing missing was a full stomach. As she walked out of the room, she saw that the round table in the center had also been set with utensils, and An Rongru was still busy arranging a large pile of food.

  "You'd better go wash up too, I'll take care of dinner." Mu Xiao was only wearing a tank top and shorts, and it wasn't hard to see that he had a lean and powerful build, exuding a strong masculine aura.

  "En, I'll go." An Rongru's face turned slightly red as she picked up the clothes she had prepared from the bed and walked past Mu Shao with her head slightly lowered.

  Two people in the same room, her "life detection" ability has not yet reached the level of flexible control, so she clearly feels Mu Xiao's strong and vigorous aura, with a masculine charm that makes women soften their bodies and minds. Especially for this beautiful woman who has been untouched by rain or dew for many years, it is even more tempting like a moth to fire.

  Sometimes men have more temptation for women.

  However, Mu Xiao didn't have much to think about and went straight to the kitchen to find An Rongru's cleaned ingredients. Most of them were leftover food from the security room, but now that the refrigerator was malfunctioning, some things would spoil if not consumed in time, so it was better to clean everything up at once.

  The new human body is good at absorbing nutrients, and the energy consumption of the body is also high and low, so the appetite is naturally several times larger than before.

  In the early days of this era, ordinary food could not satisfy the appetite of the new human beings. There was no sufficient nutrition to strengthen their physique. Only by hunting and devouring the blood and flesh of variant beasts rich in strong genes could they meet the nutritional needs of the new humans for their physical strength. If they consumed the blood and flesh of variant beasts over a long period, it would also enhance their own blood and energy, nourishing their bodies.

  Mushishi had hunted and killed a mutated cat inside the lawyer's building, cutting out over thirty blocks of high-quality edible meat, which was his main course for tonight.

  "In the past, this era's variant beast meat wasn't cheap, and its fresh flavor was truly unforgettable...” Mu Xiao took out a block of tender red meat from the plate, and with a swift motion of his knife, cut it into thin slices as transparent as cicada wings.

  Soon there were over thirty thick pieces of meat, piled up into a small mountain of sliced meat.

  Muxiao then cut up the other meat and vegetables that Anrongru had found, put them on another plate, poured half a large pot of water, then brought over the heated energy stove, cleared out the electronic virus inside, and carried all the prepared items to the dining table.

  "On this long and boring night, it's just right to have a hot pot to kill time." Mu Xiao was very satisfied with the large amount of ingredients and also satisfied with quickly and easily solving dinner.

  Muxiao started the energy stove, adjusted the sauce, and waited for the water to boil before he could start dinner.

  During this waiting period, Mu Xiao repaired several lamps to make the room look not too dim. This security room had no windows, and if there were any, the mutated guards would have easily broken through from the window and breached the room's defenses earlier. Therefore, Mu Xiao didn't worry about light leaking out and attracting unnecessary trouble.

  Steam rose from the pot, and Mu Xiao put down the slices of meat into the boiling water for a brief moment. Before An Rongru could react, she started eating on her own.

  The woman's grooming is definitely not as refreshing as the man's, let alone tonight's ambiguous spring color. An Rongruo Fang has feelings for Mu Xiao in her heart, but she doesn't want to have a substantial relationship with Mu Xiao too quickly. She also knows that men find it hard to suppress their desires, especially since he is a young and vigorous youth. An Rongruo is equally clear about what she needs at her age, and her tender heart is increasingly ashamed and uneasy.

  If something really happened today, it would be an important and unforgettable day for An Rongyu.

  The aroma of meat wafted through the entire room.

  Mù Xiāo didn't know that ān Róng Rú's thoughts were so bashful and unbearable, he only knew that he was eating and drinking recklessly, sweeping away the food on the table, his throat constantly swallowing the mutated cat's meat slices. His mouth was full of tender and delicious meat flavor, without any bloody or fishy smell. The meat slices entered his belly, turning into a small warm current that flowed back, nourishing his internal organs, muscles, and bones, warming up his blood and energy, just like drinking a strong tonic wine. It continuously accelerated the circulation of his blood, cell division, and his entire body's vital energy was extremely vigorous, like a raging fire.

  He felt his physical strength and blood energy gradually increasing, but there was no sign of improvement in his physique. However, his blood contained rich life energy.

  "Just evolved new humans, absolutely can't eat too much variant meat, otherwise it will only be over-supplemented and not worth the loss. But my body's blood contains the 'devouring' trait, which allows me to infinitely supplement without fear of violent death from excessive blood energy...” Mu Xiao ate until he was drenched in sweat, his back completely soaked, feeling like he would need to wash his body again soon.

  Mushu doesn't always eat mutant meat, sometimes also eating ordinary meat and vegetables, waiting for the body's most vigorous moment to extract the maximum nutritional value from other foods.

  Half an hour later, An Rongru finally walked out of the bathroom, with red lips and a radiant face, her long eyelashes, straight nose bridge, and big watery eyes seemed to be dripping with water, exuding a mature and charming aura.

  An Rongru wore a white sportswear suit, because her figure was too full, she couldn't find clothes that fit herself and didn't want to wear tight-fitting clothes. She also couldn't wear other men's shirts, some female security guards' clothes and underwear were not suitable for her size, so she had to find a female security guard's sportswear suit to wear as a shirt.

  "It smells so good."

  An Rongyu combed out the room, her heart still racing with anxiety, but the aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen made her realize that she was very hungry. She couldn't help but smile wryly at herself for being as shy as a young girl despite being in her thirties. She put aside her embarrassment and sat down in front of the wooden table, silently starting to enjoy her dinner.

  When she ate a piece of mutated meat, she felt extremely good and her body warmed up, with a very comfortable warmth. Next, she continued to eat several pieces of mutated meat, her blood was like boiling, her whole body was hot, and she produced a vigorous energy that seemed endless.

  "What kind of meat is this, it seems to be good for the body." An Rongru slightly pouted her red and fragrant lips, blowing away the heat from the meat, her face radiant with a dazzling beauty. She had been starving for a long time a few days ago, and her originally malnourished skin was now nourished, her cheeks becoming even more plump and tender, with the mature beauty of a ripe woman.

  "The meat of the Variant Beast has a very high nutritional value, and eating it for a long time is very beneficial to the body." Mu Xiao looked up at her charming face, but due to his robust physical strength and abundant blood energy, he felt a surge of turmoil in his heart, which quickly subsided. He shifted his attention and said: "You've recently evolved into a new human, if you feel your body temperature getting too high, it means your body is starting to be unable to digest this high-energy meat. If that happens, you must stop eating it, otherwise the benefits will turn into drawbacks."

  "Ah, I know." An Rongru smiled at Mu Shuang with a charming and alluring smile, her face covered in sweat.

  "Ah!"

  The wood was deep and deep, exhaling the heat from his chest, he didn't know if it was because of An Rongru's provocation or if his body's blood was too vigorous and stifling, that he had this feeling of heat.

  After a hot pot meal, the two of them were invigorated, and the room temperature gradually rose, with an ambiguous atmosphere.

  Mushuo originally could control his emotions and desires very well, but seeing An Rongru's rosy cheeks like fire, her fragrant lips moist and red, her slender nose covered with fine sweat beads, her beautiful eyes soft and gentle as water, filled with deep affection and seductive intentions, the suppressed emotions and desires in his heart gradually lost control.

  "Want to drink?" Mu Xiao didn't want to wait any longer, the psychological pressure was too great, and he wanted to use wine as a catalyst, also to test her willingness. After all, love is supposed to be enjoyable and indulgent, if one party is unwilling, Mu Xiao didn't want to simply vent his physical desires like a beast.

  "Ah..." An Rong's chest rose and fell slightly, her eyes gleaming with a seductive charm like spring water rippling, her delicate and beautiful face flushed with a vibrant red glow, her lips pursed into a tantalizing pout that seemed to ignite passion.

  She was well aware that Mu Xiao was probing her mind, and at the same time, a burning fire had ignited in her body, eager to release the long-suppressed mature desires. However, she couldn't shake off some things in her heart, especially with her daughter's life hanging in the balance. If she were to indulge her emotions at this moment, it would feel like a kind of guilt towards her daughter.

  "Can you give me some time?" An Rongru lowered her head, not daring to look at Mu Xiao's expression, afraid of seeing his cold and detached face.

  An Rongruo understood that by doing so, she had undoubtedly rejected Mu Shuo's love. This was a very unwise and ungrateful move.

  Because An Rongyu is very clear that in this chaotic world, human nature is often more terrifying than monsters. If she had met a different man instead of Mu Shuao at first, it's likely that she would have been raped and lost her innocence on the spot. Not to mention being helped by Mu Shuao to become a new human, saved her several times, given her the ability to survive, and even now still respects her will.

  The most important thing is that Mu Xiao is full of mystery and has great power, which gives An Rong Yu a sense of security as a woman. If she refuses him and loses the protection of a man who can protect her, then the following days may not be hopeful, but desperate. If she encounters some men with ulterior motives, she may become a female slave or a tool for their desires...

  An Rongru thought of this, her heart became more and more flustered and terrified.

  Moreover, she had already agreed to become Mu Xiao's woman, but now she was refusing him, with a hint of going back on her word. So, even if Mu Xiao gave up on her now, it would still be a matter of course.

  "I just want to find my daughter, know whether she's alive or dead, and not have to live with too much shame..." An Rongru raised her head and gazed at Mu Xiao, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears.

  At this moment, her plump and beautiful face looked elegant and chaste, making people unbearable to strike her maternal love.

  "En, that's good." Mu Xiao wasn't a pervert reincarnated, and she didn't have to satisfy her lower body's desires at all costs. Moreover, she had her own difficulties, and if she was forced to do something she didn't want to do, it would be somewhat like forcing a good person into prostitution.

  Mù xiāo zì rèn bú shì shén me hǎo rén，dàn bù xiǎng chéng wéi yī gè làn rén.

  Translation: Mu Xiao thought he wasn't a good person, but didn't want to become a bad one either.

  He...

  An Rongru didn't expect Mu Shao to understand her so well, and suddenly felt a surge of tender and sweet feelings, her heart filled with emotion.

  "Thank you." An Rongruo said softly, with a lot of gratitude and emotion.

  "Don't reject me next time, after all I'm also a man, it's hard to bear." Mu Xiao said very bluntly.

  After hearing his blunt words, An Rongru's face turned red in an instant, but she still nodded her head and softly hummed a sweet and gentle "en".

  Two people had a full meal, and all the food on the table went into their stomachs. Mu Xiao ate the most, of course.

  There were still some packaged foods that wouldn't spoil easily left in the room, and Mu Shuo also had An Rongru collect them, not wanting to waste food.

  Muxiao went back to the bathroom to rinse with cold water, as his blood was still boiling and there was a beautiful woman in front of him. He needed to calm down properly. As he soaked in the cold water, Muxiao suddenly thought of An Rongruo's new human abilities that had not yet appeared, and felt it necessary to determine what kind of ability she had awakened to.
