The next morning.
Xu Ye took a comfortable shower and walked barefoot out of the bathroom, his hair soaking wet.
Glistening droplets ran down his supple hair, along his firm jaw, and dripped from his chin onto the floor.
Standing before the mirror, he grabbed a towel and dried his hair.
In a corner of the mirror, a Mirror Spirit crouched, trembling.
Xu Ye had removed every other mirror in the building, leaving only the one in his apartment, so the Mirror Spirit could only stay here and occasionally have a few mouthfuls of its energy sucked away.
But he simply refused to kill it.
The Bandit Lord treated it as a charging station. It provided very little energy and was terrified and resistant, but even an unwilling melon could quench your thirst.
After drying his hair and putting on his pants, he opened the bedroom door, bare-chested.
A shapely figure was sitting on his sofa, her long, rounded legs in black stockings propped on the coffee table as she watched Xu Ye with a smile.
He turned around, shut the door, and put on a shirt.
Xu Ye emerged again, looking utterly speechless. "He Li, could you knock before coming in next time? What if I'd been completely naked?"
He Li giggled. "Who'd want to see that? Besides, I knocked before leaving home today. You just didn't hear me."
Xu Ye gave a speechless chuckle. Lady, how could I possibly hear you knocking on your own door?
Besides, I only just became an adult. Why do I have to listen to this first thing in the morning?
Still, a flicker of concealed worry passed through his eyes. If events followed the future timeline from Heart Simulation, the captain and the others would probably make their move against Cheng Ying'er
