A Shift in Relationship

An Rongru had spent several days in constant fear, then endured a full day of stimulation from Mu Xiao. Her mind had become utterly exhausted. On top of that, she had only just become a new human and eaten a meal of highly nutritious mutant meat, so her body needed time to absorb it and adjust.

Therefore, 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 law firm, the silence and terror around her would often wake her in the middle of the night. Perhaps now that she had someone to rely on, and her psychic power could sense Mu Xiao's presence, she felt safe with him beside her. Only then did she let go of her worries and sleep peacefully.

Mu Xiao did not act like some honorable gentleman and sleep separately from An Rongru. Instead, he climbed straight into her soft, fragrant covers. She was not sleeping deeply, or perhaps the fear and shocks of the past few days had made her overly sensitive. Even the slightest movement beside her could wake her.

When she opened her beautiful eyes and discovered Mu Xiao sleeping beside her, a seductive flush spread across her elegant face, blooming into two bright red clouds. Her lashes trembled shyly, and her misty, watery eyes seemed to ripple with **waves. Each blink carried an alluring moisture, revealing a wave of delicate charm.

Seeing her ripe, alluring beauty, Mu Xiao could not help 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 soon became immersed in a passionate kiss.

Gradually, Mu Xiao realized that she was terribly clumsy at kissing, so he had no choice but to slowly guide her into enjoying the process. Before long, the hot breaths from her nose grew faster and more ragged. From time to time, she let out soft, enticing moans, her desire-filled breathing rising and falling unevenly.

Mu Xiao kept demanding her warm, soft tongue, breathing in the mature feminine scent radiating from her body along with her hurried, scorching breaths. His arms tightened around her captivating body as he turned sideways and pressed himself over her plump, shapely mature figure.

At that moment, An Rongru's desire surged and boiled like floodwaters released from a broken dam. Her seductive panting grew more intense, and her body suddenly shuddered violently. She abruptly wrapped her arms around Mu Xiao, pulled her lips away from his kiss, and let out a moan that dripped with bone-deep allure...

Mu Xiao had thought they would naturally proceed to the next stage of their relationship, but An Rongru had already climaxed. Overwhelmed with shame, as though she could not bear to face anyone, she immediately rolled out of bed and fled toward the bathroom in disheveled clothes. But halfway there, Mu Xiao caught her, carried her back, and placed her on **.

"Don't! Don't! Don't! Let's stop here... Let's stop for tonight, okay?!" An Rongru had already been unbearably ashamed, and seeing that Mu Xiao wanted to continue, she immediately began to cry anxiously.

"Then how am I supposed to deal with this?" Mu Xiao asked with a wry smile as he looked at the tears welling in her beautiful eyes. She tightly covered his large hand as it tried to lift her clothes.

An Rongru's entire body felt numb and tingling, as though she had been shocked. Her heart seemed to melt, and she had nearly silently accepted Mu Xiao's actions. But when she thought of herself, and then of her daughter, she truly did not want to go that far at this time.

"You promised to give me time..." An Rongru pleaded softly, her eyes **rippling and her skin flushed crimson.

"I can refrain from taking 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, full face turned red as she pretended not to understand, avoiding his gaze as she asked almost inaudibly, "How do you want me to...?"

After pulling An Rongru back under 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 flushed like peach blossoms, suffused with a translucent crimson glow. Seeing that she neither acted nor refused, Mu Xiao could only take her soft, slender hand and guide it beneath the covers...

Mu Xiao lowered his head and sealed her rosy lips, ignoring her soft, protesting moans.

After a night of passion, Mu Xiao did not break through An Rongru's final line of defense because she firmly held it. Yet after their intimate entanglement, they could fully be considered a couple. After all, their night of intimacy had already gone beyond that of many ordinary couples. Still, Mu Xiao found it strange that An Rongru reacted with such unbearable shyness whenever they became intimate. Even kissing was so awkward for her. But he did not think too much about it, simply assuming that she had been without a man for too long and was conservative in both body and mind.

The bright morning sunlight drove away the cold of night, but it could not disperse the deathly silence and desolation that filled the world...

No sunlight reached the security room; it was still lit by monotonous white lights. However, Mu Xiao could adjust his body clock at any time, and he was already up at around seven. An Rongru was still asleep in **. Mu Xiao had flirted with her endlessly the night before, and she had even climaxed once more. Only late into the night had she fallen asleep in his embrace, and she had yet to wake.

There was still a large amount of vegetables and meat left in the kitchen from last night. If they were not eaten soon, they would spoil within a few days. Most of the world's machinery had more or less broken down, and the refrigerator here had been out of order for over two days. If it had not possessed a backup freezing function, the food might all have spoiled before Mu Xiao arrived.

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

By the time Mu Xiao brought out the absurdly lavish breakfast, An Rongru finally woke groggily at the scent of food. When she saw Mu Xiao looking at her, her lovely face could not help turning red as she recalled the things from last night that had left her utterly lost in desire.

"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 somewhat awkward, so he said this to divert her attention.

"Mm, I'll go now."

Sure enough, the moment An Rongru heard about her daughter, she sprang into action. Yet she immediately forgot about the shorts that had been soaked through during her intimacy with Mu Xiao the night before. They had been uncomfortable to wear, and in the haze of desire, she had long since lost track of them. Her clothes had also been too tight, so Mu Xiao had taken them off. She had spent the entire night naked in Mu Xiao's embrace. But when she threw back the covers and got out of bed, her plump, jade-like body, white as congealed cream, was instantly exposed to the air. Her breasts were full and large, soft and fair, rising proudly like snow peaks. Their two tips were as pink and tender as a young girl's, shaped like cherries and vividly enticing.

Her two long, round, well-proportioned legs were smooth as ivory with a rosy sheen. Beneath her flat stomach, without even a trace of excess flesh, was a soft, dark patch of curled hair. Mu Xiao's heart stirred at the sight, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth. Though he had touched every part of her body the night before—she truly was a voluptuous, big-breasted beauty—he had missed the chance to properly look at her captivating, mature body. Unexpectedly, he was now making 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 teasing, half-smiling gaze and immediately realized what had happened. Blushing furiously, she grabbed the covers and wrapped them around her full body before quickly heading into the bathroom. Not long afterward, she emerged wearing the set of sportswear that had already dried. Perhaps because she and Mu Xiao now shared the intimacy of the previous night, she was no longer quite so bashful. From time to time, she even looked at Mu Xiao with eyes full of tenderness and affection.

Mu Xiao and An Rongru finished the entire enormous breakfast. An Rongru was slightly alarmed by how much she had eaten, then began worrying about her weight. After all, women were always conscious of their figures. However, Mu Xiao explained that it was only natural for her appetite to increase after evolving into a new human. Furthermore, an evolved body did not need to worry about becoming fat at all.

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

"Mu Xiao..." An Rongru called out hesitantly. She seemed to want to say something but held back, as though afraid of making Mu Xiao unhappy.

"From now on, call me Xiao. And you don't need to be so restrained around me in the future," Mu Xiao said with a smile.

"Mm." An Rongru could sense the obvious change in Mu Xiao's attitude toward her. Her heart warmed, and she understood that he was not the kind of man who would forget his feelings and abandon her. She said softly, "Xiao, if you find my daughter, could you keep our relationship secret for now?"

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

But then Mu Xiao shifted the subject, looking directly at An Rongru with a serious expression. "You're my woman now. From now on, I have a responsibility to protect you..."

An Rongru's face was soft and enchanting, and an incomparable sense of security rose in her heart. Yet Mu Xiao's next words quickly made her serious.

"I won't abandon you, but I hope even more that you can become a qualified new human—someone who can help me withstand unknown dangers in the future, rather than merely a pet concubine in my **."

"Mm."

An Rongru nodded. She did not know how to respond in a way that would show Mu Xiao her determination, so she could only prove her worth through her actions in the future.
