Chapter 324 - 313: A Flowing Painting of the Floating World

Chapter 324: Chapter 313: A Flowing Painting of the Floating World

Morning light filtered through the lace curtains, casting a pale golden halo and dappled shadows across the messy bed.

As Mengde propped himself up on an elbow, the down comforter slid away to reveal his toned waist and abdomen. He gazed at the sleeping pair of sisters.

He reached out and brushed aside the messy strands of hair on Jiayi’s face, noticing the lipstick smeared at the corner of her mouth from last night, like a crushed rose.

In her sleep, Jiayi unconsciously nuzzled against his palm.

As she shifted, the torn lace edge of a black stocking scraped another red mark onto Xiaoyao’s thigh.

Jiayi’s beautiful, black-stockinged legs were still tangled in a corner of the comforter.

The torn tip of the stocking was hooked around Xiaoyao’s ankle, her wine-red nail polish gleaming in the morning light like a solidified drop of blood.

The lipstick smeared around her lips was a total mess.

Xiaoyao was curled up like a kitten, her pale yellow slip dress crumpled around her waist, revealing several suggestive red marks on her back.

Her fingers, unconsciously clutching the hem of her sister’s clothes, were still pink. Undried teardrops clung to her eyelashes, shimmering like morning dew in the sunlight.

Mengde’s fingertips brushed through Jiayi’s dark hair, which was spread across the pillow. Tangled in the strands was a lace shoulder strap that had snapped last night.

When he pushed aside the long hair on the nape of Xiaoyao’s neck, he found the love bite he had left there.

It overlapped with the other marks he had continuously left last night.

Mengde noticed her right hand was still tightly clutching the hem of her sister’s nightgown.

Her knuckles were pale—as if she had gripped it too tightly during the final moments last night and still hadn’t let go.

On the rug at the foot of the bed, more evidence of their frenzy was scattered about:

A toppled bottle of lube by the headboard pinned down half of a torn black stocking, its rose scent mingling with the sweet, cloying smell of spent passion.

He chuckled softly and pulled the corner of the comforter over Xiaoyao’s bare shoulder, but then he heard Jiayi murmuring something in her sleep.

As she turned over, her slip dress slid off completely, revealing a snowy expanse of skin.

The sunlight gradually crept over Jiayi and Jiayao’s bodies, illuminating all the evidence of last night’s frenzy, leaving nothing to hide.

Mengde picked up the belt from Xiaoyao’s robe off the floor.

He found one of Jiayi’s diamond earrings tied to it. ’It must have been torn off during the heat of the moment...’

He gently placed the earring on the nightstand.

In the faint clink of metal against glass, it was as if he could still hear the rising and falling whimpers and pleas for mercy from last night.

A satisfied smile couldn’t help but appear on Mengde’s lips.

’I have to admit, Jiayi really gave it her all to help Xiaoyao improve.’

But the results were remarkable...

In just one night, she had helped Xiaoyao successfully break through to the Star Map Level...

Xiaoyao’s Level increased exceptionally fast.

Not only had she broken through to the Star Map Level, but she had already reached Star Map Level Three Stars.

She had pretty much caught up to her sister’s previous Superpower Level.

Why "previous"?

Hehe... Naturally, it was because he had spent the most energy and effort on Jiayi!

’That was a tangible return on my billion-dollar investment!’

’It wasn’t an investment for nothing.’

Now, after several days of his hard work, Jiayi was already about to reach Star Map Level Eight Stars.

She was almost catching up to his previous level.

’Can’t be helped. Sigh... this is the benefit of just lying back and taking it.’

’If you lie back well, your Superpower Level just shoots right up...’

He said that because it wasn’t just her.

Aoxue and the others had also benefited greatly...

That’s right!

The efforts of Jiayi and Jiayao, the sister pair, were just a microcosm of the many women in Villa No. 1 diligently "lying back."

And as a result, the Superpower Levels of all the women were exceptionally brilliant.

Besides Jiayi, who was the highest at Star Map Level Eight Stars...

...there was also the Iceberg Goddess Aoxue at Star Map Level Seven Stars!

Bai Jie... Cheng Ying...

Da Mimi... Cheng Fei’er... Liu Ruyun... Zhao Lina... Xu Junru... Wang Yuyan... Gao Lan...

All the women listed above had also reached Superpower Levels between Star Map Level Four Stars and Star Map Level Six Stars.

The "worst" of the bunch was Jiayao, at Star Map Level Three Stars!

And that was with her sister’s help.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t even have that!

Compared to the other women, Jiayao was clearly slacking off quite a bit.

So, Mengde decided he would train her well over the next few days.

He was determined to make her catch up with the others’ progress.

And besides the Goddesses mentioned above who had already been unlocked in the Goddess Catalogue...

...Little Minami and the police beauty Qin Yueran weren’t slow either.

They had also broken through to the Star Map Level!

In fact, the police beauty Qin Yueran, a Goddess who hadn’t even been unlocked yet, was surprisingly close to reaching Star Map Level Three Stars.

She was catching up to Jiayao!

He had to admit, this woman’s Superpower Level breakthrough speed was incredibly fast.

Her talent was excellent, and she was very hardworking.

’She’s worth slowly cultivating in the future!’

That being said, Mengde noticed this woman seemed to have realized something.

Lately, when she looked at him, her eyes were always filled with resentment.

It was the kind of look that said she wanted to eat him alive.

Moreover, Mengde discovered that besides resentment, there also seemed to be a hint of anger in her expression.

She was like a concubine in an ancient Emperor’s harem who had been given the cold shoulder.

It left Mengde feeling bewildered; he just couldn’t figure it out.

He kept getting the strange feeling that the police beauty also wanted to join the "game" he played with Jiayi and the other women.

But he had no direct proof.

’Sigh... Brother Mengde is so sad, so torn!’

The women in Villa No. 1 were increasing their Superpower Levels at lightning speed.

His subordinates, like Lei Qiang, were also progressing at a divine speed.

One by one, they all broke through to the Star Map Level.

The faster ones were already about to reach Star Map Level Three Stars.

He had to admit, even without taking the "shortcut" like the women...

...absorbing Zombie Crystal Cores was still a viable method of improvement.

So, all in all, the entire base was in a state of positive, upward momentum.

Everyone was focused on improving their strength to face the coming zombie attack.

It was worth mentioning that Mengde hadn’t hidden the news about the scarlet monster in East Sea City.

Therefore, everyone in the base knew about the scarlet monster.

Mengde’s reasoning was simple. Since they had to face that monster, they might as well prepare in advance.

This would ensure everyone was mentally prepared for battle.

That way, the base wouldn’t descend into chaos when the monster arrived.

It would also greatly motivate everyone to raise their Superpower Levels.

It was killing multiple birds with one stone.

The base’s defensive lines were also nearly complete.

The basic defensive walls and such had already been constructed.

Now they just needed to be manned.

Fortunately, after days of practice, the base had already trained up a batch of guards.

Not only were they Superpower Users, but they also knew how to use firearms.

Mengde had arranged things this way so that when facing zombies in the future, they could attack from a distance and then switch to close combat after running out of ammunition.

Their Superpowers were the best tools for battle!

In short, the entire Yulong Base, from top to bottom, was ready for a fight.

And it was at this very moment that a monumental change quietly began to unfold...
