Arc 4: Chapter 12

The words were said frivolously, but the suggestive meaning was quite evident. Lu Ye's expression cooled quickly, and his eyes darkened.

Lin Yuan’s heart burst with anger. His canines extended into four sharp wolf fangs. He bared his teeth and roared at the man with his beastly characteristics unleashing their threat.

The young man who was originally grinning like a hooligan changed his face: “A power user?”

The other three men’s attention was also attracted by Lin Yuan's ferocity, and their expressions became serious.

Lin Yuan roared again and rushed over and bit the man directly.

A wolf's bite force was over six times stronger than a human’s, not to mention that Lin Yuan was actually a power user, and his mutant beast form was larger than the largest canine in the world, so his bite was even more terrifying.

The man didn't expect Lin Yuan to attack suddenly, but he reacted quickly and shot out bursts of fire to attack Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan easily dodged the flames. His agility and speed were so fast that their eyes couldn’t catch up. In the next moment, his sharp fangs pierced the man’s arm.

The man screamed harshly and tried to punch Lin Yuan away.

Lin Yuan grabbed the man’s wrist and twisted it behind the other’s back. He pressed the man to the ground, face down.

“You can't beat me.” Lin Yuan said indifferently. Although the bright red blood that covered half of the man’s body looked gruesome, Lin Yuan didn’t actually bite deep enough to take the man’s arm off. He took a bite just to teach the man a lesson.

The man's companions who witnessed the whole thing prepared to attack.

Lin Yuan noticed the situation and bared his bloody fangs at them. His handsome and fair face was dripping with blood, like a bloodthirsty predator.

After a short moment of hesitation, the group of men exchanged a glance and seemed to agree on something.

A skinny man came over with a stiff smile on his face and said in a gentle voice: “This young lad, it’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. He Xun always acts like this when he sees a good-looking person. He can't control his mouth, but he doesn’t have bad intentions. I apologize to you and your friend on his behalf.”

Lin Yuan blinked, his blue eyes shone under the sun with a bit of innocence. Ignoring the blood, he looked just like a soft bun.

But after seeing his beastly appearance just now, who would actually believe it?

“He does this to everyone? No wonder he smells like so many people. He stinks.” Lin Yuan let go of the man in disgust and clapped his hands as if he had touched something dirty.

He even used his water ability to wash his hands.

The men were shocked to see him use a water ability. This was the first time they had seen a dual power user.

After losing the force pressing above him, the man immediately got up and glared at Lin Yuan. He wanted to take revenge, but was stopped by one of the men with a stern face: “He Xun!”

When He Xun heard the man's command, he knew he had to give up. He covered his bleeding arm and his eyes stared at Lin Yuan full of anger.

Lin Yuan didn't even look at He Xun. After washing his hands, he immediately ran back to Lu Ye and asked proudly: “Husband, wasn’t I very cool just now?”

Lu Ye smiled: “En, Sui Sui is very powerful.” At the same time, he used his sleeve to wipe away the blood from Lin Yuan's mouth, and then took out the mineral water bottle next to his bag, unscrewed it, and handed it to him: “Here, rinse your mouth.”

Lin Yuan rinsed his mouth obediently and said: “Okay, it doesn't taste gross anymore.”

The skinny man waited until they were done before coming over and said amicably: “Hello, my name is Chu Minghe, we are a team of power users, why don’t we get to know each other?”

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression was a little indifferent. He said bluntly: “Lu Ye. My boyfriend, Lin Yuan.”

The bright sunlight illuminated his usually dark eyes, making them shine with more enchanting colors and brightening up his handsome features. To others, he seemed to glow seductively.

Chu Minghe was a little shaken by the appearance of the young man called Lu Ye and he couldn't help but glance at Lin Yuan. If it weren't for such a protective boyfriend with dual powers, Lu Ye would’ve likely been eaten alive by others.

Chu Minghe changed the topic: “Are you outside to find food?”

Lu Ye didn’t change his tone: “Pretty much.”

Chu Minghe paused for a moment and his eyes exposed his hesitation. If He Xun hadn't run his mouth just now, they could’ve invited them to join their team. But now it was awkward to ask him.

He cleared his throat: “Have you ever thought about what to do next? Before, when we were collecting food, we encountered another team of power users. They told us that there weren’t many people alive left in Ning City, so they were going to Nan City to have a look. We’re thinking of going too.”

Lu Ye immediately understood the real reason. The corners of his lips rose lightly, and he stated: “Nan City’s military camp is right next to Nan City. With the support of the military, the situation there should be better than other places.”

“Correct, the situation over there is definitely better than here in Ning City." Chu Minghe observed Lu Ye and asked tentatively: “What happened just now was indeed our fault. I apologize to you again. But in this environment, it’s very dangerous to act alone. Do you want to join us?”

Lin Yuan had already remembered this group of people when he heard the name He Xun.

Gong number 2 of this world, Min Chengze, was the leader of this team of power users. In the plot, this team collected supplies and rescued a bunch of ordinary people in Ning City and then took them to the base in Nan City.

In a few days, this team would meet the gong number 1, Meng Mingqian, and the protagonist shou, Ruan Qing.

Lu Ye hesitated for a moment. He and Sui Sui were both power users, and they had the ability to protect themselves. Furthermore, as a team of two, they were less likely to be found by zombies compared to a big group of people. The downside of traveling with a large group of people was that it was easier to attract the attention of zombies. On the other hand, a team of power users would have a variety of abilities, which was helpful in battle.

There were both pros and cons to agreeing.

Lu Ye tilted his head to look at Lin Yuan, and asked softly: “Sui Sui, what do you think?”

Lin Yuan didn't care, and said with a smile: “I'll listen to you.”

Lu Ye hummed thoughtfully and his eyes swept over He Xun. The bottom of his eyes darkened: “We can join you and go to Nan City together. But Mr. Chu, I hope you can control Mr. He and his dirty mouth. After the first offense, we ended it with just some blood being shed, but if there’s a second time, I can’t promise anything.”

There was an obvious threat in his words. Chu Minghe glanced at the obedient and soft Lin Yuan in front of Lu Ye, and remembered the look of the fierce beast just minutes ago. He thought in his head that the contrast was really big. He nodded and said seriously: “Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I can guarantee this.”

Lu Ye smiled faintly and said: “Can you please wait here for a bit? We need to go home and get some things.”

Chu Minghe agreed: “Sure.”

Back in the apartment, Lu Ye took out a suitcase, stuffed his clothes into it and asked Lin Yuan to put it in the storage ring. 

Lu Ye also asked Lin Yuan to put the bathtub in the storage ring. 

Lin Yuan blinked and asked in confusion: “Store the bathtub?”

Lu Ye smirked playfully and carried Lin Yuan into the bathtub, pinched his jaw, and kissed him slowly and forcefully, starting from the lips and gradually diving deeper inside.

Lin Yuan was kissed until his whole body was weak and boneless, and tears flowed out in a pearly stream, but he still responded actively. After an unknown amount of time, he was suddenly turned over dizzily and knelt in the bathtub. A young man's strong body covered him from behind, and a hot wet tongue licked his ear.

Lu Ye’s voice was hoarse: “Storing the bathtub to do this. Sui Sui, do you understand now?” Lu Ye said, and deliberately grinded against Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan finally understood and wanted to cover his face in shame. He didn't expect that his husband would still have so many tricks. Shame on him.

Lu Ye took the gas stove, pots, utensils, and seasonings used for cooking and put them all in the car he had parked in the basement. It was a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, durable and strong.

After packing up, Lu Ye drove back to the shopping mall. Min Chengze and his group were still collecting supplies from the supermarket.

Lin Yuan sat in the car, boredly looking at the shopping mall, and then suddenly remembered that the first floor was a huge jewelry center. He hadn't given his husband a big diamond ring yet.

“Husband, I'll go in for a while and come out soon~” After saying that, Lin Yuan opened the door and got out of the car. He sprinted away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Chu Minghe saw Lin Yuan enter the square, he took the chance to come and chat with Lu Ye, mostly trying to fish for information. Was Lu Ye an easy fish though? It was actually Lu Ye who weaseled a lot of information out of Chu Minghe. 

Chu Minghe soon noticed that he was losing out and his eyes became more vigilant when he looked at Lu Ye.

He opened his mouth to say something else, but at this moment Lin Yuan ran out of the mall. Chu Minghe was still a little scared of Lin Yuan and walked away smoothly with a smile.

Lin Yuan held a jewelry box in his hand and took out a fat diamond ring: “Husband, look, a big diamond ring. I'll put it on for you.”

Lu Ye's eyes were complex. He didn't understand why his wife always wanted to give him a ring. Was it because of that one time he asked if the rose ring looked good on him, and that caused some misunderstanding?

Sigh, what a sweet burden it was to have an attentive wife. Lu Ye got out of the car and lifted Lin Yuan into the driver's seat instead. Then he held Lin Yuan's left hand and put the diamond ring on Lin Yuan's ring finger.

Lin Yuan didn't expect the situation to play out like this. Originally, he was going to put the ring on his husband, but now it was suddenly reversed.

But this was okay too, Lin Yuan shyly took out another diamond ring from the jewelry box and said softly: “Then I'll put this one on you~”

Lu Ye was a little helpless. He went ahead and picked out two identical rings from the many rings in the jewelry box and handed one of them to Lin Yuan to let him put it on for him. He said gently with a smile: “Okay, it's on. I'm Sui Sui’s now.”
