A Change in Their Relationship

After several days of fear and anxiety, followed by a full day of stimulation from Mu Xiao, An Rongru was mentally exhausted. She had also just become one of the New Humans and eaten a meal of nutrient-rich mutated meat, so her body needed time to absorb it and adjust.

Both her mind and body desperately needed rest.

Not long after An Rongru lay down, she fell asleep. Back when she had been in that room at the Lawyer Building, she would often wake at night from the deathly silence and fear around her. Perhaps she now had something to rely on, and her Mental Power could sense Mu Xiao's presence. With a sense of safety beside her, she finally let go of her worries and slept peacefully.

Mu Xiao did not play the part of a gentleman and sleep separately from An Rongru. He simply slipped into her soft, fragrant bedcovers. She was not sleeping too deeply, perhaps because several days of fright had made her overly sensitive. Even the slightest movement beside her could wake her.

When she opened her beautiful eyes and found Mu Xiao sleeping beside her, a seductive blush spread across her elegant face, blooming like two crimson clouds. Her lashes trembled shyly, and her misty, watery eyes seemed to ripple with waves. Every blink carried an alluring moisture and a charming radiance.

Seeing her flushed, mature allure, Mu Xiao could not resist pulling her plump, captivating body into his arms and kissing her rosy, moist lips. She did not resist. She merely closed her eyes shyly and accepted Mu Xiao's kiss.

The two of them quickly became immersed in a passionate kiss.

Mu Xiao gently sucked on her lush red lips, slipping deeper to entwine with her tongue. Gradually, he discovered that she was terribly clumsy at kissing, so he slowly guided her to enjoy the process. Before long, the hot breaths from her nose grew faster and faster. From time to time, she let out enticing, soft moans, her desire-laden breathing rising and falling unevenly.

Mu Xiao kept demanding her warm, soft tongue, breathing in the mature feminine scent emanating from her body and her hurried, scorching breaths. His lower body quickly reacted. His arms tightened around her alluring body as he turned and pressed himself over her ripe, shapely frame. Mu Xiao clearly felt the two firm, full mounds on her chest—large, soft, and astonishingly elastic. His hand instinctively slipped beneath her clothes and immediately found a warm, soft, smooth breast. It filled his palm with a creamy softness, its heavy weight almost impossible to grasp.

An Rongru felt Mu Xiao boldly kneading and playing with her large breasts, not even sparing her sensitive nipples. Desire surged and boiled within her like floodwaters released from a dam, and her seductive panting intensified. When Mu Xiao used his other hand to pull down her shorts and let it roam over her plump buttocks, the springy flesh made him reluctant to stop. When his fingers reached between her thighs, where her warmth was already overflowing, and wiped away the slick moisture, her body instantly trembled. She suddenly wrapped both arms around Mu Xiao, pulled her lips away from his kiss, and let out a moan so seductive it seemed to seep into the bones. A hot, slippery rush spilled over Mu Xiao's hand...

Mu Xiao had thought they would naturally take the next step in their relationship, but after An Rongru climaxed, she was overwhelmed with shame, as though she could no longer face anyone. Without thinking, she immediately rolled out of bed and fled toward the bathroom with her pale, plump bare bottom exposed. But halfway there, Mu Xiao caught her, carried her back, and put her on the bed.

"Don't! Don't! Don't! Let's stop here... just for tonight, all right?!" An Rongru was already unbearably ashamed, and when she saw Mu Xiao wanted to continue, she immediately began to cry in panic.

"Then how am I supposed to deal with this?" Mu Xiao asked with a bitter smile as he watched tears well up in her beautiful eyes. She tightly covered the hand he wanted to use to lift her clothes, but the hard, steel-like part of him was already pressing against her fair thigh.

An Rongru felt the astonishing hardness and heat against her thigh. Her entire body went numb and weak, as if shocked by electricity, and her heart seemed to melt. She had nearly tacitly accepted Mu Xiao's actions, but then she thought of herself, and of her daughter. She truly did not want to go all the way at this time.

"You promised to give me time..." An Rongru pleaded softly, her eyes shimmering and her skin flushed red.

"I won't take your body tonight, but you have to help me deal with it too. After all, I helped you deal with yours just now.

"Mu Xiao's words made An Rongru burn with embarrassment. Her ripe, plump face was crimson as she pretended not to understand, avoiding his gaze as she asked in a voice barely above a whisper, "How do you want me to..." After pulling An Rongru back beneath the covers, Mu Xiao held her full, fragrant body in his arms and brushed his lips against her delicate ear as he whispered a few words. Her seductive face immediately turned as red as peach blossoms. Seeing that she neither acted nor refused, Mu Xiao could only take her soft hand and guide it beneath the covers, letting it grasp his burning hardness and slowly move up and down.

Mu Xiao held An Rongru's lush, tempting body, enjoying the fullness of her soft figure and the service of her warm, gentle hand. Then he grabbed one of her swollen, full breasts and kneaded it as he hinted, "If your hand gets tired, you can use here instead..."

"You shameless man..." An Rongru's eyes were moist with charm. The hot thing in her hand nearly melted her heart, and now she heard Mu Xiao's lewd words while his hand continued misbehaving on her chest. An indescribable sensation of shame spread through her body. She could not help twisting her alluring figure like a water snake as she scolded him with a flushed face, "If you don't settle down, I won't do such embarrassing things with you anymore."

"Who told you to be so tempting..." Mu Xiao lowered his head and sealed her rosy lips, ignoring her muffled protests.

After a night of entanglement, Mu Xiao did not break through An Rongru's final line of defense because she insisted on holding it. Yet after their intimate embrace, their relationship could fully be considered confirmed. After all, their night of intimacy had already gone beyond that of many ordinary couples. Mu Xiao only found it strange that An Rongru reacted with such unbearable shyness whenever they became intimate, and that even kissing was so clumsy. But he did not think much of it, assuming only that she had gone too long without a man and was conservative in both body and heart.

The bright morning sunlight dispelled the chill of the night, but it could not disperse the deathly silence and desolation that permeated the world...

No sunlight reached the security room. It was still lit by monotonous white lights, but Mu Xiao's body clock could adjust at any time. He was already up around seven, while An Rongru was still asleep in bed. Mu Xiao had teased her constantly the previous night, and she had even climaxed again. It was not until late at night that she fell asleep in Mu Xiao's arms, and she had yet to wake.

There were still plenty of vegetables and meat left in the kitchen last night. If they were not eaten soon, they would spoil within a few days. Most of the world's machinery had already failed, and the refrigerator here had been broken for more than two days. If not for its backup freezing function, the food might have all spoiled before Mu Xiao arrived.

Mu Xiao used the remaining food that could not be taken away to make a huge mixed stew full of vegetables and meat. He also cooked a large pot of white rice. There was simply too much rice to carry, so they could only eat as much as possible and leave the rest here for now. Once they had settled the Lawyer Building, they could return and clear out the supplies in this villa district.

By the time Mu Xiao brought the absurdly lavish breakfast to the table, An Rongru woke drowsily from the smell. When she saw Mu Xiao looking at her, her lovely face could not help turning red as she remembered the intoxicating events of last night.

"Go wash your face and have breakfast first. We'll head deeper into the villa district afterward. You want to find your daughter as soon as possible too, right?" Seeing her blush, Mu Xiao guessed that she still felt awkward, so he said this to shift her attention.

"Mm, I'll go now."

Sure enough, when An Rongru heard about her daughter, she immediately sprang into action. She had completely forgotten about the shorts that had become soaked during her intimacy with Mu Xiao the previous night. They had been uncomfortable to wear, and in her dazed state of desire, she had long since lost track of them. Her clothes had also been too tight and had been removed by Mu Xiao. She had slept naked in Mu Xiao's arms all night, but when she lifted the covers and got out of bed, her creamy, plump body was suddenly exposed to the air. Her pair of snow-white breasts trembled proudly, full and enormous with a startling outline, smooth and pale, rising like majestic snow peaks. Their tips were pink and tender like a young girl's cherries, vivid and ripe.

Her two long, smooth, well-proportioned legs were like polished ivory with a rosy glow. Beneath her flat, flawless abdomen was a patch of soft, dark curls. Mu Xiao's heart stirred at the sight, and a smile curled at his lips. Although he had touched every inch of her body the previous night and knew she was an exceptionally endowed beauty with huge breasts and plump hips, he had missed the chance to properly admire her alluring, mature body. Now, he had made up for that regret.

The moment An Rongru got out of bed, she felt a chill against her body. Then she noticed Mu Xiao's amused, half-smiling gaze and instantly realized what had happened. Blushing furiously, she grabbed the covers and wrapped them around her full body before hurrying into the bathroom. Not long afterward, she came out wearing the sportswear that had already dried. Perhaps because they had formed a new layer of intimacy the previous night, she was no longer excessively shy. From time to time, the looks she gave Mu Xiao were even filled with tender affection.

Mu Xiao and An Rongru finished every bit of the enormous breakfast. An Rongru was slightly startled by how much she had eaten and then began worrying about her weight, since women were always concerned about their figures. However, Mu Xiao explained that it was natural for her appetite to increase now that she had evolved into one of the New Humans. Besides, an evolved body did not need to worry about becoming fat.

The two did not spend much time cleaning up after the meal. They put on their full gear, armed themselves, fastened their backpacks, and prepared to set off.

"Mu Xiao..." An Rongru called out hesitantly, seeming to want to say something but worrying that she might upset him.

"Call me Xiao from now on. And you don't need to be so restrained around me anymore." Mu Xiao smiled.

"Mm." An Rongru could feel the obvious change in Mu Xiao's attitude toward her, and warmth filled her heart. She understood that he was not the kind of man who would forget affection and abandon her. She said softly, "Xiao, if you meet my daughter, can you keep our relationship a secret for now?"

"Sure." Mu Xiao agreed readily. An Rongru was moved, yet she also knew clearly that she had already become this man's woman.

But Mu Xiao changed the subject. Looking directly at An Rongru with a serious expression, he said, "You are my woman now. From now on, I have a responsibility to protect you..."

An Rongru's face softened with charm, and an immense sense of security rose within her heart. But Mu Xiao's next words quickly made her serious again.

"I won't abandon you, but I hope even more that you can become a qualified New Human. In the future, I want you to help me resist unknown dangers, rather than merely be a pet concubine in my bed."

"Mm."

An Rongru nodded. She did not know what response could best show Mu Xiao her determination. She could only prove her worth through her actions in the future.
