It had to be said, Meng De's help had lasted quite a while.
At first, Chen Jiayao had idly played on her phone and eaten snacks, not thinking much of it.
But half an hour passed, and the two still had not returned. She began to sense that something was off.
"How strange!"
"What happened to my sister? Why hasn't she come back after so long?"
"And my brother-in-law too. Does checking on her really take this long?"
"Who knows what naughty things those two are doing? Hmph!"
Chen Jiayao pouted in dissatisfaction, making her sweet face look especially adorable.
As she spoke, she stood up and headed toward the bathroom.
But as she walked, she began to feel that something was wrong. Faint, mosquito-like sounds gradually reached her ears.
And the closer she got to the bathroom, the louder they became.
Pressing an ear to the door, even as innocent as she was, she understood what was going on.
"Pah!"
"Bad brother-in-law!"
"All you know is how to bully my sister!"
The girl clenched her little fists in mild anger.
After thinking for a moment, she lowered the hand she had been about to use to push open the door.
"Forget it. I'll let you bully her once. Just this once."
Driven by curiosity, she listened for a while longer.
"How strange! Why does it sound like my sister is being bullied so badly?"
By the time Meng De came out, it was already dark.
He carried the unconscious Chen Jiayi to the sisters' room.
But he found that his sister-in-law, Chen Jiayao, was not there.
When he went to the living room, he found the girl actually asleep on the sofa.
Since she was at home, she was dressed rather casually.
She wore a white casual T-shirt, long enough to cover the athletic shorts beneath it. From afar, her long, slender legs were stretched out carelessly.
But upon closer inspection, her legs were wrapped in a layer of snag-resistant Beautifying Stockings.
Perhaps she had practiced dancing earlier, because her hair was damp with sweat.
Meng De had intended to cover her with a blanket so she would not catch a chill.
After the apocalypse, daytime temperatures would soar.
In comparison, the nights were much colder.
Unexpectedly, she woke up just as he took a few steps.
"Brother-in-law, where's my sister?"
Still bleary-eyed, Chen Jiayao stood up and stretched, displaying her graceful figure to perfection.
As expected of someone who practiced dance, her figure was even better than her sister's.
"Your sister was tired, so she fell asleep!"
"Oh!"
Knowing what her sister and brother-in-law had done in the bathroom, Chen Jiayao naturally understood what he meant by "tired."
Being clever, she did not ask any further questions.
Still, the moment she saw her brother-in-law, she thought of the naughty things he and her sister had done in the bathroom, and her little face turned bright red.
"Brother-in-law, I'm going to check on my sister."
With that, the girl ran off without looking back.
Meng De rubbed his nose.
Am I really that scary?
It was getting late, so Meng De used the ingredients he had collected that day to prepare a lavish feast.
With the supplies of an entire supermarket at his disposal, he cooked without holding back and made eight dishes and a soup.
Braised Eggplant with Minced Meat, Braised Fish Pieces, Potato Stewed Chicken, Pork Stewed Vermicelli.
They were all hearty dishes, enough to fill the entire dining table.
By the time he finished cooking, it was nearly ten at night.
Just then, Chen Jiayao helped her sister out of the room.
After Meng De's "help" that afternoon, she had slept until now just to barely be able to walk.
When he saw the sisters come over, Meng De showed no embarrassment at all. He grinned and invited them to sit down.
"Feeling rested?"
"Are you tired? Want me to give you a massage?"
Chen Jiayi could not help rolling her eyes at the man. She did not dare let him touch her again.
She had no idea where this man got so much energy. He came back without resting and only knew how to torment her. It was outrageous! Still, seeing the results of Meng De's long hours of work on the table, she could not help giving him a thumbs-up.
He was too outstanding! He knew how to take care of her, and he was great in bed. She was content. A long-lost sense of security enveloped her.
Ding! Congratulations, Host. Goddess Chen Jiayi's favorability toward you has increased by 5. Current favorability: 80! Ding! Detected that Goddess Chen Jiayi's favorability toward the Host has risen to 80. A random reward has been issued to the System Space!
Hearing the system prompts, Meng De chatted and ate with the sisters while silently saying in his heart,
"System, open my status panel."
Host: Meng De Age: 24 Ability Level: First Tier Awakened Ability: King of Space Goddess Unlocked: Chen Jiayi (Ability awakening in progress) Equipment: Desert Eagle Pistol ×1 (Unlimited Ammunition), Tang Sword ×1 (Mastery) Skills: Virus Immunity (Can immunize against Zombie Viruses up to one tier higher than the Host), Goddess Bond, Starry Night Walker
Just as Meng De had expected, he immediately looked at the last one.
"Starry Night Walker?"
"What the hell is that, Tong Zi?"
Starry Night Walker—A system reward the Host has just obtained at random! Under the cover of night, the Host's speed, strength, endurance, and recovery ability will all be twice their usual level! Under the cover of night, the Host's concealment ability will also be greatly enhanced. Ordinary people will be unable to detect the Host's presence. Under the cover of night, the Host's senses will also be greatly heightened, and the darkness will not affect the Host's movements.
.
In short, it has many benefits. Please experience them for yourself.

Damn! After reading the explanation, Meng De could only call it amazing!
Leaving everything else aside, the first effect alone was already overpowered! His body had already been strengthened to the limits of humanity. With this on top of that, would that not make him even stronger in every sense?! Hahaha! Meng De grinned from ear to ear.
After all, every man wanted to be stronger in certain areas.
That sudden laugh made Jiayi, who had just been chatting happily with her sister, immediately feel that something was wrong. Something was off. There was a ninety percent chance something was off with this man. By the time the meal ended, it was almost midnight.
Considering that he had tormented Jiayi all afternoon, Meng De let the sisters go rest.
After the sisters left, however, he sat alone in the living room, with a Tang Sword beside him.
He looked as though he were fully prepared.
Several candles burned on the living room table. In the dim light, his chiseled face looked exceptionally cold and stern! Outside was pitch-black, without the glittering starlight or chirping birds from before the apocalypse.
The surroundings were deathly quiet, and even the zombies were much quieter than during the day.
But he had a feeling that someone might come to ambush him tonight.
It was not because he had some persecution complex. Rather, it was because of Dao Ge's matter during the day. His instincts told him that this was definitely not over.
And after killing those seven or eight people during the day, he had seen a familiar figure by the window of Building One.
