"If you've had enough and there's nothing else to do, it's time to go back and rest."

  After the woman left, Mu Xiao said a sentence in the quiet building, then closed his eyes and prepared to enter meditation.

  "You knew I was here, which is why you rejected Natsumi's advances, right?"

  At this time, from the direction of Shangguan Wanxin's room, a slender and elegant girl walked out. Her clear and cold voice sounded exceptionally clear and icy in the quiet night, as if it had a magical effect that could wash away worldly thoughts and make one's mind clear. However, her questioning tone made her sound somewhat unpleasant.

  "How boring is your brain?" Mu Xiao opened his eyes again, his gaze like stars in the black night, staring at Zhao Yiling in the darkness. "Why do I have to accept a strange woman's affection?"

  "Don't you know her?" Zhao Yiling's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "Is she very famous?" Mu Xiao asked back.

  "She's an international supermodel, and before the apocalypse, she even starred in a fiery movie... didn't you see it?" Zhao Yiling's words were as calm as a clear pool of water, clearly not believing that Mu Xiao didn't know Xia Mei Qin's identity.

  "Oh, it was her." Mu Xiao suddenly recalled his past memories and thought that there indeed was such a woman.

  Just after being reborn, Mu Xiao didn't have time to sort out those insignificant memories of 'Good Sir'. Unless there was a certain trigger, these memories would automatically surface. Now he mostly thought about the path of evolution in his previous life and didn't care about the trivial things in his past life.

  "Those women at dinner, they were all once very prominent and famous..."

  She didn't finish speaking, and Mu Xiao impatiently interrupted her, asking: "What exactly do you want to say?"

  "I want to say, you open your mouth and they won't refuse any of your requests, there are always women around you, but why did you still keep me, a person who makes you unwilling to get close, yet still pay attention to me."

  Zhao Yiling's eyes, cold and distant as a thousand miles, hid self-abasement and stubbornness, yet also held a hint of pride, a contradictory mix that mirrored her current mood. She could no longer bear the intense, almost suffocating feeling in her heart, and she had to find an answer tonight.

  "This guy is too sensitive."

  He sighed in his heart, indeed, he had been avoiding contact with Zhao Yiling intentionally or unintentionally, mainly because he didn't want to touch her emotional forbidden zone, but unexpectedly she sensitively discovered this point, and she seemed to have thought of some things crookedly.

  "I admit that I'm uneasy about you, and it's not because of your ordinary identity, but because you have a potential that makes me afraid." Mu Xiao understood that if he continued to hide the truth, it might trigger unpredictable changes, so he decided to speak frankly: "Your emotions are a forbidden zone. If they collapse, you may very likely go to extremes... and I may be the catalyst for your extremity."

  "So why did you keep me by your side?" Zhao Yiling seemed to have grasped something, but it was like a wisp of fog that dissipated as soon as she tried to grasp it. The only thing that was clear was that Mu Xiao hadn't lied.

  "I once said I had a sense of guilt towards someone, and that person was very much like you... " Mu Xiao explained the doomed relationship between her and herself in another way. "But actually, that person might be you, because I have foreseen all the changes in my future, you and I have had a relationship, only this relationship eventually collapsed, and we both suffered the consequences of our own actions."

  In other people's eyes, Mu Xiao has always had the ability to predict the future. Zhao Yiling began to believe in Mu Xiao's words a little bit after hearing Shangguan Xingyun's words and experiencing it herself. When Mu Xiao said that the two of them would have a relationship in the future, Zhao Yiling felt a sudden pang in her heart, as if she had experienced an unknown pain from another time and space.

  "Are you okay?" Mu Xiao saw her slender body suddenly tremble, her face turned pale, and she was startled in her heart, wondering if something had happened to her.

  "It feels like there's a sharp pain in my heart, but I don't know why it hurts. Is this the consequence of hearing that prophecy that I shouldn't have? Zhao Yiling's face turned pale as she clutched her chest tightly, trying to alleviate the stabbing pain."

  Innumerable invisible causal lines in the world, Mu Sheng was reborn and had already disturbed the causal lines of the world. Originally, he and Zhao Yiling's existing causal lines were also disturbed, and a mysterious and intangible great power was born in the dark.

  "The world has indeed become impossible to fathom with common sense!" Mu Xiao suddenly stood up, quickly walking over to Zhao Yiling's side. At this moment, she couldn't care about any emotional off-limits, directly embracing her slender body in her arms. The fragrance and tactile sensation of her body were as familiar as ever.

  At this moment, Mu Xiao felt like he had thought some things wrong.

  "You... didn't you say you didn't want to touch me?" Zhao Yiling didn't push away Mu Xiao's embrace, her pale face began to warm up, with a faint blush, the stabbing pain in her heart gradually dissipated, and a strange, indescribable feeling emerged.

  "I don't know what's right or wrong, but if I let you continue to think wildly like this, it may lead to a big mistake." Mu Xiao lowered his head and looked at the clear and white face in his arms, his expression suddenly becoming serious and stern. "Can you give me a chance to take care of you? No matter what happens in the future, you'll still stand by my side and let me protect you."

  "...It seems I've found the answer." Zhao Yiling gently pushed away the embrace that made her feel so attached, and replied with a serious expression: "If I could become a new human being, I would consider what you said tonight."

  Her thin red lips were pursed into a line, her eyes shone like ice crystals, sharp and fragile, but with their own persistence.

  "Alright." Mu Xiao helped her tidy up the messy bangs on her forehead, "Remember not to force yourself too much, if there's anything, you can come find me. Since I'm not avoiding you, don't hide your feelings in your heart either."

  "Hmm." Zhao Yiling turned her body around, ready to head back to the room, but suddenly turned her head and asked: "Can you tell me what happened between us in the future?"

  She still has some concerns.

  "That's my fault, and besides, that tragedy won't happen again, so don't worry." Mu Xiao didn't want to show his ugly side, and anyone with a normal mind wouldn't be so stupid as to expose their own scars.

  Zhao Yiling's eyes showed a hint of tenderness as she glanced at Mu Xiao, but she didn't ask any further questions and turned to walk back into the inner room.

  "She wouldn't think that I'm taking care of her, bearing the so-called guilt, would she?" Mu Xiao noticed the tenderness in her eyes and couldn't help but smile wryly, feeling a sense of unintentional accomplishment.

  But thinking back, intentionally avoiding contact with her emotional zone seemed to have produced a counter effect, making her even more mindful...

  Suddenly, Mu Xiao had an epiphany. Zhao Yi Ling had two extreme sides: one was extremely intense hatred and the other might be extremely intense love. If their past fate was hatred, then perhaps this current one is her love...

  If she doesn't accept her love, it may trigger her yandere symptoms again after a long time. She might think of all possible ways to kill every woman around him...

  Zhao Yiling is a typical cold outside and hot inside person. When she really turns dark, that's when she truly freezes others with her coldness and burns herself.

  Mu Xiao thought of this place and felt a little fortunate that he had discovered it early and was able to make up for his previous incorrect judgment.

  Judging from Zhao Yiling's behavior tonight, she seems to have a good impression of herself, at least without any repulsive emotions. Perhaps she hasn't yet developed a deep and abiding love, but with this start, she will surely be a persistent pursuer.

  "Yi Ling, Yi Ling, you might really be my nemesis." Mu Xiao shook his head and stopped thinking about unnecessary things, returning to his seat to start meditating and recovering his jing energy.

  A night without words.

  Around 10 o'clock in the morning, Shangguan Wanxin and the others finally got out of bed, because they had exhausted their spiritual energy last night and got up later than usual.

  Their Mu Xi bloodline genes are different from theirs, their Jing energy recovers very quickly, almost full.

  After breakfast, the team was ready to depart. The events of last night seemed as if they had never happened, and everything was back to normal. Only when Mu Xiao's eyes met Zhao Yi Ling's did she show a slightly flustered reaction. Even Xia Mei Qin, the famous model with a truly stunning figure, looked somewhat uneasy when she saw Mu Xiao that morning.

  Zhou Xuan secretly pinched Mu Xiao a few times, and only then did he realize what had happened the night before. Everyone else also knew about it without needing to be told.

  After all, they are top-notch physiques, and the outside movement can't escape their keen sense of touch.

  Due to the late wake-up of Shangguan Wanxin and others, several streets outside were cleared of zombies by other new humans early in the morning. This allowed the convoy to set off smoothly and also enabled other new humans to hunt and kill zombies to earn evolution source and blood beads, thereby increasing their strength.

  Five heavy steel giant tigers as the vanguard, leading ten multi-functional luxury RVs behind, and five solid insurance cars, speeding along the route of the villa area, not planning to delay unless encountering an unavoidable battle.

  In the RV, Mu Xiao still sat with Guan Xuanxin and chatted in detail about the functions of Tianjing, as well as whether they had encountered any other problems when infusing Tianjing last night.

  Up until now, after finishing talking about the Tian Jing matter, Mu Xiao casually asked: "That Xia Mei Qin, and those four women, where did you rescue them from?"

  "A few days ago, our team stayed overnight outside at night and we found the five of them in a building."

  "She said calmly, 'These five women are either popular stars or famous models. They can't be left unattended like ordinary people, otherwise they would cause a group of over-hormoned men to fight and disrupt the team's order. So in order to avoid these things from happening, I kept them by my side as attendants, so those men understand that if they want to touch these five women, they must get my approval...'"

  She paused for a moment before continuing: "Of course, you're not included in this."

  "That's an honor." Mu Xiao responded with a sentence that surprised everyone: "Wasn't it you who arranged for Natsumi to come last night? If not for your approval, I don't think she would have dared to take the initiative and make such a provocative move."

  "That's right." Shangguan Xuanxin's expression was calm, and she knew that she couldn't deceive this man, so she spoke directly: "We need a public relations person in our core team to handle the ordinary human group. No matter now or in the future, the number of ordinary people far exceeds that of the new humans, and this group has its own value. Therefore, Xia Mei Qin is a very good candidate. She also has her own awakening, and her body remains pure. As long as you become her first man, she will emotionally lean towards you afterwards."

  Finally, she added: "I have consulted with Zhou Xuan and she agrees with my approach."

  "Aren't you thinking too much?" Mu Xiao said indifferently.

  "This is the change of the world, and we have no choice but to consider it." said Shangguan Xing.

  "We also have people in our core who can do this job, it doesn't necessarily have to be Xia Mei Qin." Mu Xiao said: "For example, Jiang Yue and Yun Wei, Tong Jingzhen are all very good candidates."

  "Jiang Yue and Yun Wei, don't you think it's a waste of great talent?" Shang Guan Xuan said: "While Tong Jingzhen lacks experience in dealing with the world, on the other hand, Xia Mei Qin has been navigating complex relationships, yet she remains pure and untouched. This proves that she is a wise and capable woman. If the world hadn't forced her into a desperate situation, she wouldn't have responded so easily."

  "Aren't you afraid she'll snatch your position and replace your existence?" Mu Xiao suddenly joked with a smile.

  "She doesn't have that kind of ability." Shangguan Xuanxin's tone was flat, but it contained absolute confidence and pride. However, Mu Xiao just smiled slightly, didn't respond, and finally only said one sentence: this matter will be put on hold for now, don't make any unnecessary arrangements.

  The convoy charged through, with several waves of zombies being smashed open by the five steel giants. At most, there were dozens of streets of zombies rushing over, and in order to quickly break through the encirclement, Mu Xiao used his mental powers to coordinate with the heavy-duty giant tiger's charge, brutally blasting out a bloody path.

  Around 3 pm, the convoy entered the development area of the villa district. At this time, ω·ｕ⑻ updated the fastest network
