Arc 4: Chapter 15
He Xun’s sarcastic statement obviously meant that he thought Lu Ye was eating soft rice. t/n meaning living off someone else instead of working
Lu Ye had long seen through this He Xun’s bad ideas. His Sui Sui was so cute and lovable, it was not strange that some messy flies and mosquitos were attracted.
He snuggled against Lin Yuan in his arms and lowered his head and smiled endearingly at the youth.
“Having a good partner is indeed worthy of envy.”
“Sui Sui is really impressive. Someone is so jealous that he doesn’t even want to be a power user anymore.”
Lin Yuan was originally annoyed to death by this He Xun, but after hearing Lu Ye say that, his anger was immediately doused and he even became a little bashful. He lightly rubbed against Lu Ye’s neck.
Lin Yuan’s voice was like honey as he said clingily: “I’m not impressive, you are.”
Lu Ye’s slender fingers slowly shuttled through Lin Yuan’s soft, fluffy hair and he asked warmly: “I’m impressive even though I need to rely on Sui Sui?”
Lin Yuan nodded strongly: “Of course ya, you are the best.”
Lu Ye was full of fondness as he heard Sui Sui's reaction. He looked at He Xun proactively with a smile and moved his lips silently and mouthed, Mine.
He Xun understood him clearly and sneered with disdain. He thought to himself that Lu Ye was protected too well and probably forgot reality. Did he think that he could provoke power users just because Lin Yuan was backing him right now? A grown man was actually this naive and ignorant, who knew what Lin Yuan saw in him aside from his face.
He Xun thought that Lin Yuan was much more attractive. Unfortunately, Lin Yuan, this little fool, only had eyes for Lu Ye. If he wanted to get him, he probably needed to use some tricks.
For example, if Lin Yuan saw Lu Ye rolling around with a woman, he didn’t believe he couldn’t win over Lin Yuan then.

Under the silent night sky, Lu Ye and Lin Yuan were sleeping soundly when they suddenly awoke at the same time and looked towards the same direction.
Lin Yuan pinched his nose and complained: “Ugh, husband, it stinks.”
Hearing this, Lu Ye quickly lowered his head and pecked the tip of Lin Yuan's nose. He said softly: “Be good, bear with it. Just in time that our crystal nuclei have run out, since they took the initiative to deliver themselves to our door, we shouldn’t waste this opportunity.”
Lin Yuan turned over in Lu Ye's arms and murmured like a spoiled child: “Ok husband. But I want more kisses.”
Lu Ye satisfied him. He pried open his teeth, and conquered the soft and moist cave. Lin Yuan was kissed by him until he comfortably melted. He moaned softly, like sweet fruit candy melting into syrup.
After a while, Lu Ye withdrew, and he stared at Lin Yuan, whose eyes were dazed and red, and his skin felt a little hot.
Out of nowhere, he suddenly felt a little irritated. If he had agreed to Lin Yuan's pursuit on the first day, he could have eaten his obedient and soft little wife already. Unlike now, when he had to endure it even with his wife in his arms.
Lu Ye couldn't help himself, and kissed and rubbed against the youth for another half an hour before he was ready to get to work.
The person on night watch this time was Min Chengze. Lu Ye excused himself and Lin Yuan by saying they had something to do for a bit. Min Chengze calmly nodded, and reminded them to pay attention to safety and come back early.
Lin Yuan and Lu Ye walked in the dark for about two kilometers, until they finally stopped at a distance far enough where they were sure that they wouldn’t be discovered.
An azure light flashed in Lu Ye's eyes and his mental power spread out like a wave, invading the brains of the zombies near them.
Out of the silence, the sound of footsteps grew louder, and the stench of rotting corpses became more pungent. Lin Yuan's sense of smell was too sensitive and he couldn’t help sneezing several times.
Lu Ye noticed the discomfort of the youth next him, and suddenly, the zombies that were originally walking closer stopped and stood in place. After a few seconds, half of the zombies started to attack each other. The zombies chewed the rotten flesh and blood of their companions and broken limbs and blood dropped everywhere.
Among the remaining half of the zombies, one zombie began to swell like a balloon, and finally exploded into bits. Seeds splattered along with the bits of flesh and some fell on other zombies and began to grow rapidly, penetrating into the zombies’ brains. The vines seemed to have intelligence and intentionally found the crystal nucleus and wrapped around it. The nucleus was ripped out of the zombies’ bodies, and then obediently slithered to Lin Yuan and Lu Ye, holding up the crystal nucleus as if offering a sacrifice.
Lin Yuan didn't expect the scene to look like this, and was dumbfounded. He called 521 with shaking eyes: “521, my husband…he is so handsome!”
521 also felt that Lu Ye's two abilities were actually pretty cool, and reluctantly nodded in agreement: “…He is indeed a bit handsome!”
When Lin Yuan heard this, he immediately became proud: "Right? My husband is really handsome! Why is he so handsome ah?!"
521 felt a little full for some reason… why was it out here being a bright light bulb anyways, it should just hide.
Lin Yuan wanted to praise his husband more to 521, but 521 disappeared with a whoosh. Lin Yuan felt a little sorry, but he thought, wouldn’t it be better to praise his husband in person?
Lin Yuan thought quickly and acted quickly. He squeezed himself into the young man’s arms, and said with sparkling eyes: “Husband, you are so amazing! I never thought that powers could be used in this way. How did you think of it?”
A smile flashed across Lu Ye's eyes. When he looked down, his thick eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings: “It’s all because Suisui has been protecting me. Now I want to protect Sui Sui, so I thought of this method.”
His voice was low and doting. Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed, but also felt very happy. He energetically leaned closer and kissed Lu Ye's slightly swollen red lips, and even licked them softly with the tip of his tongue: “Lu Ye, you are so good.”
Lu Ye shook his head, smiled slightly, hugged Lin Yuan tightly, and said in an unbelievably gentle whisper: “It’s not enough, I will treat Sui Sui even better.”
Lin Yuan was so giddy that he wanted to spin around, but instead he rubbed against Lu Ye's chest, and said seriously: “Then I will treat you better too.”
Lu Ye felt that Lin Yuan was already too good to him, but that didn’t hold him back from having some expectation: “Okay, I can’t wait.”
After dealing with this small group of about two hundred zombies and cleaning all of the crystal nuclei, Lu Ye gave half of them to Lin Yuan.
After absorbing the crystal nuclei, both of Lu Ye's powers reached level three. Now that he could more skillfully use his mental power, his speed of absorbing crystal nuclei became much faster. In less than ten minutes, all of the shining crystal nuclei had lost their luster and become rocks.
Lin Yuan absorbed the crystal nuclei slowly but surely, and his water ability ended up just passing the threshold for level three. And his transformation power finally reached level two.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were no longer clear and icy blue, but instead a warm, chestnut color.
Lin Yuan looked joyfully at Lu Ye and pointed at his eyes. He grinned with a cute and deep dimple next to his lips: “Husband, I can control the color of my eyes and hair now.” Lin Yuan’s white, snowy hair darkened layer by layer. Now that his hair and eyes were dark brown, it created a big visual contrast against his fair skin, making his facial features look more handsome and delicate.
Lu Ye stared at Lin Yuan’s change almost breathlessly. He liked him so much that he held him in his arms and snuggled against him tightly.
Lin Yuan hummed comfortably and obediently let Lu Ye do whatever he wanted.
After a while, Lu Ye thought of something, and his dark eyes seemed to have ignited with fire. His deep voice was close to Lin Yuan’s ear: “Sui Sui, I want to touch your ears and tail…”
Lin Yuan’s round eyes widened and his cheeks flushed: “You... you really want to touch?”
Lu Ye didn’t explicitly agree but instead gently pinched the back of Lin Yuan's neck, and said seemingly sad: “Sui Sui doesn't want to? Then forget it. I won't force Sui Sui to do something you don't like.”
Lin Yuan thought Lu Ye was genuinely sad, and he quickly grabbed Lu Ye's hand and shyly put it on his head. Two furry white wolf ears popped out and twitched.
“No you... you touch it... you can touch it however you want…” Lin Yuan rubbed his head against Lu Ye's palm, and his voice became softer and stickier: “I... I am your wifey, I like whatever you do to me, really.”
