The next day.
"Haah~"
Jiang Mian pushed aside the blanket covering her and let out a yawn.
Ever since the merger operation had succeeded, she had not truly rested. Last night, she had finally enjoyed a good night's sleep after so long.
An eighth-tier's energy was enough to sustain them for months, even years, without rest—but if one insisted on doing that, mental exhaustion would still set in.
Yang Xin was a textbook example.
So, rest was still necessary when it was time to rest.
But come to think of it... this bed should have been made by Ye Chenyang after they had worn themselves out playing on the sofa last night?
Jiang Mian rubbed her eyes, lay back down, and automatically clung to the big warm furnace beside her.
She had clearly intended to punish him, yet as they played and played, she had ended up being conquered instead.
She had never expected that, after only a month apart, this guy had become so fierce. He had truly given Jiang Mian a pleasant surprise.
And for some reason, even after cooling down all night, a faint warmth still lingered in her lower abdomen.
That had never happened before.
Could it be because Ye Chenyang's level had risen, causing a qualitative transformation in the essence of his power as well?
Jiang Mian did not deliberately control it, allowing her body to absorb it slowly.
She raised her head, only to meet Ye Chenyang's smiling gaze.
"Awake?"
"Mm."
Jiang Mian snuggled further into his arms, her voice still carrying a soft, sleepy nasal lilt.
Once they returned to Base City Number One, the New World Plan would have to officially begin implementation.
But before that, she still wanted to enjoy this hard-won peaceful time a little longer.
She was not greedy.
