Chapter 18 Give them all to me?
Yan Zhao looked at the Little Girl in his arms, who seemed dazed, and couldn't bear to tease her further.
He chuckled, pushing her towards the bathroom, "You go wash up first, I'll set out the food.
"Qiu Ling unconsciously brushed her teeth and washed her face.
It wasn't until the cool water touched her face that she silently wailed, 'The allure of men is truly misleading!
'She hadn't expected that a mere light bite from him could have such a profound impact on her.Her cheeks in the mirror were flushed, her foxy eyes shimmered with moisture, and her lips involuntarily curved upwards, making her wonder if this was still herself.She was, after all, a Mahayana Cultivator who had failed Undergoing Tribulation.
How could she be so easily swayed by a young cub?
In the past, there were many handsome male Cultivators who tried to use their charm on her, but she hadn't even twitched an eyebrow, let alone allowed anyone to get close!
It was indeed because she indulged him too much.
.. But isn't it normal for a couple to be intimate?
She patted her face. In any case, she felt quite good about being treated this way by him.By the time she finished washing up and came out, Yan Zhao had already set out lunch on the table: braised pork with rice, cucumber scrambled eggs, braised prawns in oil, fried mushrooms, and two bowls of rice porridge.
"I didn't know what Darling liked to eat.
I was in a hurry to meet you, so I just brought whatever the cafeteria made.
"Qiu Ling looked at the still-steaming food, slightly surprised, "Yan Zhao, is your storage ring equipped with time-stasis preservation?
"Yan Zhao smiled, pulled out a ring, and placed it in her hand:"Yes, an Artifact Refining Contract Master comprehended time runes.
The storage devices he refines have large spaces and a slow passage of time.
At least a plate of food can stay warm for ten days to half a month without issue.However, many people request him to refine storage devices, and he can only refine one such device every few weeks.Therefore, such storage devices have not yet circulated on the market; they have already been pre-ordered by various forces privately.This pair was given to me by someone earlier, you can take one to play with.
"Qiu Ling took it and toyed with it in her hand.
Her Mental Energy probed inside; it was a spatial ring of five hundred square meters, and indeed bore traces of a Time Formation Array.However, as a big shot in the Cultivation World, she was too unaccustomed to such a storage device without a sense of belonging.
It was like openly carrying a vault on her back, making herself a fat sheep in others' eyes!
She glanced at the jade thumb ring on Yan Zhao's hand.Yan Zhao raised an eyebrow and took it off for her: "Here, this contains all my belongings.
Take whatever you like, just leave me some living expenses.When my Mental Energy wasn't damaged, I often led teams on external training and missions, receiving generous rewards and collecting many good things.
These are basically old stock.I am now the branch librarian of the Interstellar Sanctuary Library, earning 20,000 crystal stones a month, plus some occasional benefits.
"Qiu Ling raised an eyebrow in novelty, "All for me?
"Yan Zhao nodded: "Anyway, if I'm hungry, don't have clothes, or don't have money to take a flying shuttle, I'll apply to Darling.
"Qiu Ling couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, using her Divine Sense to examine the jade thumb ring.The space inside was about a thousand square meters, filled with all sorts of necessities for eating, wearing, living, and traveling, as well as many good things.
It was also a spatial artifact without a master-recognition function.Anyone who stole it could open and use it freely!
Qiu Ling put the jade thumb ring back on him, "Once I've recovered, I'll modify your storage ring.
"Yan Zhao didn't dare to take her words lightly this time.
He smiled and agreed, curious about where his little wife had come from.Her background was very clean; she should be an ordinary Pill Refining Contract Master.
Yet, she seemed to show good talent in both Alchemy and Artifact Refining.The food he brought contained a very faint Spiritual Qi, a notch above the food provided by the flying shuttle, making Qiu Ling enjoy her meal more.Seeing her eat with such gusto, Yan Zhao's appetite greatly increased, and he ate two more bowls of rice than usual!
After eating, Yan Zhao cleaned up the dishes, then naturally put his arm around Qiu Ling's shoulder and made a video call to Wu Yan.The call connected after about half a minute.
General Wu, meticulously dressed in a dark blue military uniform, looked sternly at the two.
His eyes subtly swept over the hand on Qiu Ling's shoulder, then he spoke calmly, as if reporting work:"I've already applied for a duplex family apartment.
I'll send you the spatial images shortly.
Let me know if anything else needs to be added, and I'll have someone arrange it.
"Yan Zhao chuckled, "It certainly needs to be well-decorated.
After all, our Darling will be staying there from time to time, so we can't be too casual.There's no need to trouble others with this.
We'll go to the supermarket and buy things ourselves once we arrive.
"Qiu Ling nodded, chuckling, "I don't have high demands for life.
Good food, good sleep, and a workspace will suffice.
"General Wu hummed. Just as he was about to say something, a soldier ran over and urgently reported: "General Wu, Supply Star No.
00125 has experienced an unknown medium-scale Vicious Beast tide.
Commander Li is urgently calling all legion commanders for a meeting to discuss which legion will go to kill the Vicious Beasts.
However, our Eighth Legion is to assist with gathering Materials.
"General Wu's expression hardened, and he nodded, "Alright, I'll go now.
"After dismissing the soldier, he looked at the two who were listening intently and said with a slight apology, "Qiu Ling, Yan Zhao, I'm very sorry, I might have a temporary mission and don't know when I'll be back.
"Qiu Ling's eyes sparkled, "Are you going to kill Vicious Beasts?
Can family members come along? What's the Spiritual Qi concentration like on that Supply Star No.
00125? I happen to want to collect some Materials that are beneficial for Mental Energy.
"General Wu frowned slightly, "If it were a normal collection mission, I could take you, but Supply Star No.
00125 is experiencing a Vicious Beast tide, and the situation is currently unclear.
I cannot let you take risks."Most importantly, he couldn't fight right now and even needed the surrounding guard team to protect him.
How could he look after her?Qiu Ling turned her head to look at Yan Zhao, "Yan Zhao, how do you feel after taking the qingyuan pill?
Has the discomfort lessened?"Yan Zhao was slightly startled, then smiled and shook his head: "It's much better.
Before, my head ached dully, and even slightly larger movements were unbearable.After taking one qingyuan pill, I don't hurt as much now and can shake my head like a normal person.
"General Wu's eyes narrowed. Yan Zhao's condition was more severe than his.
Both of them had SSS-Level Mental Energy and combat power, but Yan Zhao had dropped to A-Class.During their last video call, he noticed the forced smile beneath Yan Zhao's perfect facade and the occasional flash of uncontrollable pain.But this time, Yan Zhao's relaxed expression wasn't faked.
It was the comfort of someone who had carried a heavy burden for a long time and suddenly had some of the weight removed, or like a person who had walked for a long time in the desert and was extremely thirsty, now having drunk a few sips of water, with satisfaction radiating from his entire being, even his hair.Qiu Ling slightly raised her chin and looked at General Wu, chuckling, "The qingyuan pill was refined by me.
It contains cyan-veined profound stone, which nourishes Mental Energy and has pain-relieving effects.A place where a Vicious Beast tide erupts should have lush vegetation on the planet to foster it.I want to go and see if there are any Spirit Medicine beneficial for Mental Energy. "
