Chapter 261 - 250: A Silent Night, a Sky Speckled with Stars

Chapter 261: Chapter 250: A Silent Night, a Sky Speckled with Stars

The night was silent, dotted with countless stars.

Like brilliant jewels set in a deep blue canopy, they shimmered and shone!

Radiating a dazzling light!

Moonlight spilled down like water, as if draping all of creation in a layer of silver gauze.

The world was immersed in a state of tranquility.

The distant mountain ranges were blurred silhouettes in the darkness.

Like a slumbering behemoth!

The cool night air was like water on stone steps, and from the grass around the villa, the chirping of insects rose and fell in waves.

It was as if they were performing a tranquil nocturne!

But inside the room, it was a completely different scene!

Compared to the quiet outside, the villa was clearly much livelier.

Especially now, in Mengde’s third-floor room.

Having just tasted the flavor of the woman that was Xu Junru, Mengde was feeling quite pleased with himself.

’This woman... is very interesting...’

But tonight, Mengde noticed that she seemed a little different than usual.

"What’s wrong?"

"Sister Ru, is something on your mind tonight?"

Mengde said this because Xu Junru had been frowning all evening.

Looking like she had something weighing on her!

Of course, this wasn’t the kind of frowning she did during... *that*... kind of activity...

If it were just that, Mengde wouldn’t have found it strange.

More importantly, tonight...

There were supposed to be other women with him...

But in the end, she had sent them away.

This was clearly a sign that something was up.

The kind of thing she could only discuss with him alone.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stopped Jiayi and the others from coming over!

But when Mengde pointed it out, Xu Junru seemed a little troubled.

As if she found it difficult to speak.

"I..."

An unusual flush crept onto the woman’s face.

"If something’s on your mind, just say it."

"You don’t need to hide things from your husband!"

"What? Are you asking to be ’disciplined’ again?"

The "discipline" Mengde spoke of had left a very deep impression on Xu Junru.

"I want to ask you for a favor."

Mengde raised an eyebrow.

’This woman rarely asks me for anything.’

’No, she’s *never* asked me for anything.’

’And she’s so serious about it!’

This piqued Mengde’s curiosity.

"Let’s hear it!"

Under Mengde’s gaze, Xu Junru pursed her lips and began to speak.

"It’s like this."

"I’ve noticed these past few days that ever since Yuyan went out with you, something seems to be wrong."

"She’s been a bit distracted."

"I’m a little worried!"

Mengde frowned. It would have been better if Sister Ru hadn’t brought this up!

The moment she did, Mengde had to take it seriously.

Yes, he did recall that something was a bit off.

After all, Wang Yuyan, that girl, had always been the very well-behaved type.

She almost never made any demands of him!

In that respect, she was just like her mother.

They generally didn’t take the initiative to trouble others.

Especially Xu Junru, who was a gentle and virtuous woman.

Wang Yuyan’s personality was, to some extent, influenced by her mother’s.

For instance, asking him to leave the island a few days ago was truly a first for her!

Thinking about it now, it really was a bit unusual!

"Oh? So what do you want me to do?"

As Mengde spoke, his hands didn’t stop their work for a second.

It was hard to say if it was because of Mengde’s actions...

...or because of the shyness brought on by what she was about to say...

...but in any case, the woman’s face was growing redder and redder.....

The blush on her face, far from fading,

was actually becoming even more crimson!

"I... talked with Yuyan these past few days!"

"I learned about some of her thoughts. She told me she wants to become stronger."

Mengde was a little puzzled.

"Become stronger?"

’Isn’t Wang Yuyan strong enough already?’

He had, after all, given the many Zombie Crystal Cores he obtained to the women of Villa No. 1 as a top priority!

Otherwise, how could the Superpower Levels of the women at home have risen so quickly!

There was a reason for it all!

Although there was still some gap between her and Xiaoyao, Jiayi, and the others, but...

’Wait!’

At this thought, a certain suspicion suddenly entered Mengde’s mind.

’Could it be that girl... wants to become as strong as Jiayi and the others?!!!’

Mengde instantly lost his composure.

He knew that Jiayi and the others had become so strong, on one hand, because they had absorbed enough Zombie Crystal Cores.

On the other hand... it was because they had taken certain "special shortcuts"!

’Could it be that this girl wants to take those "shortcuts" too?’

"Mm, yes."

"I’d like you to help her."

Xu Junru nodded shyly. This sort of thing...

It was simply too embarrassing for her to have to say it!

’I know the method for becoming this strong myself.’

’No, I should say, my husband has a certain method...’

’After all... it requires... doing certain things!’

’Just thinking about it now makes my face burn...’

’But seeing Yuyan’s worried expression, I really want to help!’

’I don’t want to see Yuyan go on like this.’

That was why she decided to ask her husband to step in. As for Mengde being her man... from a certain perspective, he was Yuyan’s man too...

But this was something Xu Junru had been thinking about for a long time.

These past few days, she had been very conflicted...

Finally, tonight, she had made a decision!!!

"Husband, please help Yuyan."

Seeing this, Mengde smiled.

’This woman, she really is interesting!’

’She must have thought about this for a long time to make this decision!’

Although he had entertained thoughts about that mother-daughter... thing before.

But right now, Mengde felt he needed to be a little more reserved.

’Hmph, you think my services are free?’

’That I’m that cheap!’

"Oh, helping is no problem!"

"It’s just that..."

"Sister Ru... you can’t expect me to help for free, can you?"

As Mengde spoke, his gaze began to wander....

From her exquisitely beautiful face, to her fair and delicate collarbones, and then to...

’Heh heh, this woman may be 36 years old,’

’but she doesn’t look old at all!’

’On the contrary, her skin is still so supple!’

To sum it up in two words: this woman... is so ripe~~~

Having said all that, Xu Junru felt there was no need to say anything more.

Besides, she had already gotten the answer from her husband.

She already understood what her husband meant.

Help?

’Her husband really did seem to need a lot of ’help’ right now....’

And after their little chat just now,

she felt that perhaps she needed to ask her husband for some help too...

"Oh, husband, how would you like me to help you?"

Xu Junru blinked, her jade-like hands caressing Mengde’s cheek.

Mengde smiled faintly and didn’t respond directly!

Instead, he let his gaze fall upon her vibrant red lips...

"Heh heh heh..."

Xu Junru lowered her head and gave a shy smile.

And with her action...

...the night seemed to become even livelier than before...
