A fence was a barrier woven from dry branches.
It stood a little taller than a person.
A man and a crocodile peered through the gaps in the fence into the courtyard.
Inside the courtyard,
Liang Bing, still wearing her Beige Long Trench Coat, sat calmly in her seat.
She savored the food that had appeared on the table from the Gourmet Cloth Bag.
Above her,
the incandescent ceiling lamp, still shining brightly, continued to attract swarms of palm-sized moths.
"Holy crap! That Girl Bun is totally fine! Bro, did you deliberately avoid this place when you used your big move?"
Suo Dun followed Ye Yang along the fence toward the courtyard gate.
Ye Yang shook his head.
He looked just as confused.
When he used his big move, he hadn't avoided anything.
And the area for several kilometers around the Farmhouse Courtyard was scorched and sunken. How was the light inside still on?
What's more,
there had just been an earth-shaking battle outside the courtyard.
Yet Liang Bing was eating as if nothing had happened.
It was too strange.
Creak~
Ye Yang pushed open the courtyard gate.
Using the sound of the gate to cover his voice,
he quietly warned Suo Dun:
"This woman might be suspicious. Keep an eye on her."
"Sure thing, bro."
At the dining table,
Liang Bing, with her back to the doorway, smiled faintly.
She had just seen three angels descend on Huang Village.
And it looked like they were after Ye Yang.
She had planned to step in and interfere.
But the moment she reached the doorway,
she sensed Ye Yang and Suo Dun fighting the three angels.
In the end, Ye Yang had unleashed God's Sanction.
Its astonishing destructive power had even stirred a thrill of excitement in Liang Bing.
At the same time, she had used the Spacetime Wormhole Barrier to shield the entire courtyard.
"Miss Liang Bing, are you enjoying the food?"
Ye Yang and Suo Dun came to either side of the table and stared at Liang Bing.
There was a hint of sarcasm in Ye Yang's voice.
His gaze was cold and appraising.
"Wow, what a huge crocodile! An alien?"
Liang Bing pretended to look startled by Suo Dun.
But anyone could tell her acting was terrible.
On par with Feng Baobao from Under One Person.
"Cut the act. You're an alien too, aren't you?"
Ye Yang questioned her coldly.
He might be lazy and laid-back,
but that didn't mean he was an idiot.
"I already killed an alien woman outside. Since you protected my courtyard, I'll let you off for the intrusion. Finish your food and leave." Ye Yang issued his eviction notice.
Suo Dun played the part of his enforcer.
He flexed his crocodile fists back and forth, making them crack.
He even put on a humanlike, villainous expression.
"Hey, what alien? I'm just an ordinary person like you, only I happen to have a special Gene Ability. Anyway, give me my money back, and I'll leave right away."
Liang Bing stood up with a regretful sigh.
She held out her hand to Ye Yang, demanding payment.
At once,
Ye Yang's cold expression turned awkward.
He lowered his head and looked at himself.
Cao!
Why was he wearing nothing but a pair of white briefs?
The system in his mind seemed to know what Ye Yang was wondering.
It immediately replied:
"Reporting to the host: since your clothes have repeatedly burst apart after you used your abilities, the system has activated an auxiliary function for you called [Infinite Underwear]."
"If you end a simulation with no clothes on, this function will activate."
After hearing that,
Ye Yang didn't know whether to be grateful or complain.
His feelings were complicated.
Because the ten thousand yuan Liang Bing wanted refunded had apparently been reduced to dust in the battle just now.
He had only five hundred yuan left in his WeChat balance.
And that five hundred was all he had.
W-what was he supposed to do?
"Hm? You're not refunding me? Then I guess I can't leave."
Seeing Ye Yang standing there in a daze, still saying nothing,
Liang Bing sat back down.
She folded her arms, looking like someone not to be trifled with.
Inwardly, she was delighted.
After spending some time with Ye Yang and observing him,
she'd realized that despite all his different abilities,
his behavior and way of thinking were still rigidly shaped by the Pre-Nuclear Era human society he came from.
He followed social rules to a fault.
Liang Bing also knew that Ye Yang was poor, but lazy.
So using money and the rules of human society to keep him in check
was the most effective approach.
"Ahem. Looks like you've got a story to tell. Let's sit down and talk first."
Since he had no money to refund her,
Ye Yang could only use a delaying tactic to placate the woman.
"You said you have a special gene? I've run into quite a few lately: angels, demons, a space fleet, and even Earth's own Super Seminary. How much do you know?" Ye Yang asked.
As he spoke, he waved at Suo Dun, signaling him to stop playing the villain.
They could all sit down and have a chat.
Suo Dun happily dug into the food while listening to Ye Yang and Liang Bing talk.
Liang Bing recited the story she'd prepared in advance:
"Super Seminary came looking for me. They said the Sun of Light had activated a batch of Super Genes on Earth, and we were the chosen Super Soldiers. They wanted me to fight aliens, but I'm not interested in any of that. I just want to live a quiet life, but they won't leave me alone, so I've been hiding from them."
Hearing her words,
Ye Yang felt a strange sense of kinship.
He might not be a Super Gene Carrier,
but hadn't he also been bothered nonstop these past few days?
"I totally get it. Then you can stay here. Let's forget about the refund. But..."
Ye Yang spoke righteously.
"But what?"
Liang Bing was secretly pleased that Ye Yang wasn't kicking her out.
But when she heard him add "but," her curiosity was piqued.
"But you'll have to pay more. Ten thousand yuan only covers food and lodging. Now I'll have to protect you too, so the protection fee..."
Ye Yang rubbed his fingers together to make his meaning clear.
He figured
this woman was pretty.
But she looked almost thirty.
And she was all alone.
She was probably a woman of the world or a rich man's mistress.
She definitely had money to spare.
"Oh, you want more money? No problem. How much? As long as you can protect me, I can pay whatever you ask."
Liang Bing replied generously.
Ye Yang's eyes lit up.
He smiled, shook his head, and took a deep breath.
What a rich lady!
He'd been right about her.
After thinking it over for a moment,
Ye Yang held up five fingers and said:
"Just pay me five thousand yuan more each month."
"Hehehe. Five thousand? What if I paid you ten thousand extra every month to stay by my side at night and protect me?"
Liang Bing asked in a sultry voice, her gaze smoldering.
Ye Yang suddenly felt
something cool brushing against his lower leg beneath the table.
He glanced down.
It was the tip of a leg in black stockings!
Hiss!
Damn, this woman was no ordinary trouble!
