Life

Inside, the house was quite spacious: a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, a toilet, and a bathroom. The second floor hadn't been built yet.

"Hey, Wei Dong, what's the deal? Why did you only build one bedroom? Where am I supposed to sleep?" Android 18 asked angrily.

Building the house had already been exhausting, and he hadn't had time to think about that. Building it hadn't really been all that tiring; he'd just spent ages thinking about how to build it and whether everything was in the right place.

"Okay, okay. You sleep in the bedroom, and I'll sleep on the couch. How about that?"

There was a bathroom inside the bedroom, and another one outside. There was no helping it. Android 18 went to shower in the bedroom, so Wei Dong could only use the bathroom outside.

After showering, Wei Dong seemed to forget that he was supposed to sleep on the couch. He strode straight into the bedroom, yawning. "I'm so tired. I need a good rest."

When he opened the door, Android 18 was still awake, wearing pajamas—but they were rather revealing.

Wei Dong immediately went on the offensive.

Seeing the bulge in his pants, Android 18 shouted, "What are you doing? Get out! You pervert! You absolute creep! You scumbag!"

"18, to be honest, I've liked you for a long time. I noticed you from the very beginning, which is why I kept trying to strike up a conversation with you." As he spoke, Wei Dong pinned Android 18 down on the bed and looked her in the face. "Are you really going to reject me?"

"Th-then... you... you're not lying to me, are you? I... I'm a little scared." Android 18's cheeks turned red, and she looked very shy.

"It's okay. Just relax." Then he got started. Android 18 didn't say anything, and with their difference in strength, there wasn't much she could do. She ended up in a lot of pain. It wasn't as if Wei Dong had deliberately hurt her;

the problem was that training had already left her with a few minor injuries. No one could blame her for that. How could she possibly focus in this situation? This is too awful... [Several tens of thousands of words omitted.]

The next morning, Android 18 didn't get up. It wasn't that she didn't want to; the pain left her aching all over. Damn Wei Dong, he'd only thought about himself. Not only had she been kept awake all night, she was hurting like crazy now. What was she supposed to do? She was still a girl who hadn't even turned twenty. Was she going to become a mother already?

I don't want to! What should I do? I can't even get up, and there's no point in getting up now anyway.

Meanwhile, Wei Dong was up sawing wood when the Sword Saint came over. "By the way, I heard some really strange sounds last night. They were so loud, the whole mountain could hear them. What was that?"

Wei Dong certainly wasn't going to tell him it was that kind of sound. Android 18 had been speaking Earth's language last night, so it was only natural that he couldn't understand her. He wasn't worried that anything would happen.

So, no matter how loud those sounds had been, there was no cause for alarm. As long as nobody saw them, the Sword Saint wouldn't know what they were doing.

A few days passed, and the house was finished. Since it was time to take a break, fishing was a must. They just didn't know where to buy fishing rods. Rather than buy one somewhere, they decided to make one themselves. Android 18 went out to buy fishing line while Wei Dong got started on the rod. The two of them had also made their relationship official during those few days.

Android 18 still wouldn't admit it sometimes, probably for one reason or another. As for taking precautions, they hadn't bothered. If anyone asked, who carried that sort of stuff around?

Still, once they made their relationship official, Android 18 wasn't as reserved as before, and she stopped constantly scolding Wei Dong. But when she did change the way she addressed him, Wei Dong found it incredibly mushy for some reason. So he asked her not to call him things like "baby" or "hubby," and just to use his name.

Once the fishing rod was ready, Wei Dong invited the Sword Saint to go fishing. But the Sword Saint said, "It's almost sunset. There's no point in going now, is there?"

"It's fine. We can just go for fun. I mainly want to see whether this fishing rod of mine works."

When they reached the river and sat down, they cast their lines. The moment the Sword Saint saw Wei Dong's rod, he burst out laughing. "With that fishing rod of yours, the fish could probably eat the whole thing!"

"It's fine. I just want to have some fun." Wei Dong gave an awkward smile. The Sword Saint was right: his homemade rod really wasn't good for catching fish. He'd made it himself and didn't know much about fishing, so he just wanted to try it out.

Before long, the Sword Saint had already caught several fish. To be fair, maybe the surroundings were especially nice, because the fish were beautiful. But why hadn't Wei Dong caught anything after all this time?

Only when he cast the line again did he realize the damn fish had already bitten his rod clean off. No wonder he hadn't had a single bite.

"Let's go home." Wei Dong stomped home in a huff, while the Sword Saint followed slowly behind. Once they got home, Wei Dong was still annoyed, so he went to Android 18 for a little comfort. She didn't refuse, since they were a couple now. But sometimes Android 18 still got angry that Wei Dong only thought of himself and never considered her, and it could leave her in a lot of pain.

Wei Dong's normal power level was only 120 million, while Android 18's normal power level had already reached 1.1 billion. But since Wei Dong targeted her most sensitive spots, Android 18 still felt pain and got hurt despite their huge difference in power.

Although Android 18 often blamed Wei Dong, he wasn't entirely at fault either.

The same thing always applied: the greater the risk, the greater the reward. The more it hurt, the more there was to gain. Android 18's answer was always, "Reward, my ass! If I gave you a child as your reward, you wouldn't be happy at all—see how much fun you'd have then."
