Chapter 194 - 187: I Can’t Let Brother Mengde Go Hungry...

Chapter 194: Chapter 187: I Can’t Let Brother Mengde Go Hungry...

In his room, Mengde watched the lovely sight of Zhao Lina running out with her legs pressed tightly together.

A smug smile spread across his face.

’Heh, you little thing. Thought I couldn’t handle you, did you?’

Just a moment ago, Mengde had been genuinely afraid he might have forced the issue.

So he’d given Zhao Lina, that mixed-race Goddess, a harsh lesson... right on her rear!

At least it made the woman leave on her own.

With her in his room, he felt his self-control slipping away.

But he had to admit, mixed-race beauties were something else!

Her rear was definitely the perkiest among all his women!

It couldn’t help but remind him of certain "foreign fillies"...

They were usually tall and slender, just like her.

Mengde shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts.

In truth, he’d held back partly out of consideration for Zhao Lina’s physical condition.

And partly because he’d only known her for a few days.

Even though her Affinity was at 100, she might not have fully accepted him in her heart yet.

She wasn’t mentally prepared to be devoured.

Their relationship couldn’t compare to the one he had with a mature woman like Xu Junru.

He remembered how he and that mature woman had also built their relationship step by step.

But speaking of Sister Ru, Mengde recalled that the mature beauty would be coming over tonight.

A wave of anticipation washed over him at the thought.

He glanced at the sky. It was still early.

Taking advantage of the free time, Mengde took out some Superpower Crystal Cores he had previously acquired and began to absorb them.

His current Superpower Level had already reached the Tier Six Peak.

He had tried to break through before.

But unfortunately, he was always just a little bit short.

It was as if a solid wall was blocking his path.

It left him with the feeling that he couldn’t advance another inch.

He just couldn’t break through to Tier Seven.

Of course, this might have been because he had only just broken through to Tier Six a short time ago.

He continued absorbing for nearly an hour.

Mengde drained every bit of energy from the few Tier Six Zombie Crystal Cores in his hands.

’This isn’t enough either!’

Mengde pursed his lips in disappointment.

However, after absorbing these Zombie Crystal Cores, Mengde could clearly feel the energy within him reaching a saturation point.

He was perhaps only a faint, pink membrane away from Tier Seven.

He had a premonition that once he reached Tier Seven...

...his power would undergo a qualitative leap!

His mood brightened at the thought.

In this post-apocalyptic world, strength was the ultimate foundation.

It was the source of his confidence, allowing him to enjoy his current life.

While he was lost in thought, in another room...

Xu Junru was making her final mental preparations.

To be more precise, she was waiting for her two daughters, Wang Yuyan and Xiaoling’er, to fall asleep.

The mature woman’s reasoning was simple.

Since that man, Mengde, had brought her daughter back...

...she had to fulfill her promise to him.

Besides, the two of them had already nearly broken through that final layer of paper separating them...

They had basically done everything that could be done.

And they were on the verge of doing what shouldn’t be...

The only thing left... was the final step tonight...

In truth, Xu Junru had long since considered herself Mengde’s woman.

So, she had been anticipating this final step for a long time.

After all, it was agonizing for a woman to sleep alone for so many years!

As these thoughts crossed her mind, the mature woman couldn’t help but recall the large pot of nourishing soup she’d prepared during the day...

Her cheeks flushed unconsciously...

"Mommy, why are you still awake?"

On a huge bed, Xu Junru had just lulled her younger daughter to sleep, her mind still racing.

Just then, she heard the voice of her older daughter, Wang Yuyan.

"It’s nothing, Yuyan. You go to sleep."

"Mommy has something to do later."

"Um... I’m going to make a late-night snack for your Brother Mengde..."

"Your Brother Mengde didn’t have dinner, remember?"

To stop her daughter from probing further, Xu Junru told a "white lie."

Of course, for a well-bred lady like her, lying had once been a shameful act.

But now, for some reason, she felt a secret thrill, as if she were having an illicit affair...

Perhaps it was because she was too excited about what was to come.

Hearing her mother’s explanation, Wang Yuyan didn’t think much of it.

That’s right, her mommy would never lie to her.

"Okay."

"Brother Mengde must be starving since he missed dinner."

"You should go quickly, Mommy. Don’t make Brother Mengde wait too long."

A sweet smile blossomed on Wang Yuyan’s face.

The smile grew even sweeter, especially when she mentioned "Brother Mengde."

As an experienced woman, Xu Junru naturally noticed this.

So, Xu Junru probed gently.

"So, Yuyan, do you think your Brother Mengde treats you well?"

Although she had already made up her mind, Xu Junru still wanted to gauge her daughter’s feelings.

She was approaching the topic indirectly, of course.

She decided not to tell her about tonight’s plans just yet.

It was better to let her daughter come to accept it little by little.

She wasn’t worried about Xiaoling’er. She was still young and easy to persuade.

But Yuyan was older, and Xu Junru felt she needed to consider her feelings.

"He is!"

"Brother Mengde treats me so well."

"In my heart, Brother Mengde isn’t just a brother. Sometimes, I even see him as a father."

As she said this, Wang Yuyan’s face suddenly flushed red.

Her voice dropped to a whisper, as if afraid someone might overhear.

It was a secret the young girl had hidden deep in her heart.

If her mother hadn’t asked today, she would have never revealed it.

Xu Junru understood, of course.

So when her daughter asked her to keep it a secret, she agreed without the slightest hesitation.

She knew her daughter felt this way because of her useless husband, Wang Lin, who was perennially away from home.

She had been forced to have Yuyan with Wang Lin when she was just eighteen.

Because she had given birth so young, below the legally stipulated age...

...Wang Lin, fearing it would affect his business, had always publicly claimed to be childless.

This led to Yuyan growing up starved of a father’s love.

On top of that, Wang Lin was rarely home, gone year-round.

Going years without seeing her father, Yuyan’s craving for paternal love only grew stronger.

Her craving was perhaps even greater than Xu Junru’s own needs...

After all, when Wang Lin did return, Xu Junru could at least see him.

But Yuyan was often at school and didn’t have the same opportunity.

Thus, Xu Junru completely understood why her daughter would see Mengde as a father figure.

Xu Junru walked over and pulled her daughter into an embrace.

"Don’t worry. After tonight, your Brother Mengde will treat you even better."

Lost in her fantasy of Brother Mengde treating her well, Wang Yuyan...

...completely missed the two words her mother added: "after tonight."

In fact, those words only made her nod more happily.

"Mhm, I know."

"Okay, okay, you should go, Mommy!"

"It’s getting late. We can’t let Brother Mengde go hungry..."

Urged on by her daughter, Xu Junru could only tell Yuyan to get some sleep.

As for her, having already carefully applied her makeup and dressed for the occasion, she headed toward Mengde’s room...
