Chapter 139: Chapter 139: The Newcomer Ding Xinrou
“Alright! That’s decided then!”
2102.
The shouts from the small bedroom lingered on and on.
In the living room,
the ladies went from initial agitation,
to later numbness,
gradually managing to turn a deaf ear to that soul-stirring magic sound!
After focused discussion,
they finally settled the details of Lu Xiaoxing’s birthday party!
And at this moment,
the small bedroom finally quieted down.
Shortly after,
the door opened.
Gu Fei came out,
leaning against the wall,
her face flushed like an apple!
She took a glance at the sisters in the living room,
bit her lip,
but with a difficult step, she headed towards the bathroom…
What kind of look was that?
Satisfaction?
Show-off?
On the verge of speaking?
Tang Lingyu noticed and frowned:
“Look at her, behaving like she’s never experienced this before! So pretentious!”
But then,
in the bedroom,
Lin Lang’s voice echoed:
“Shuangyu, come in for a moment.”
The ladies’ surprised gazes fell on Ning Shuangyu.
Then they looked at the bedroom again:
“Huh? What’s up with Lin Lang today?”
“Maybe everyone gets a turn?”
“Is it a holiday?”
…
Ning Shuangyu’s cheeks flushed slightly.
She hurriedly stood up.
With small steps, she jogged towards the bedroom:
“Coming!”
…
Xu Bing looked around.
She found the remaining goddesses on the scene—Lü Su Ran, Tang Lingyu, Leng Wei—all wore expectant expressions!
She suddenly felt,
sitting here might not be very fitting, huh?
Before Lin Lang calls names and drags her in!
Though it wouldn’t matter much for her own part…
But thinking ahead, it might be challenging to interact normally with Captain Frosty and Captain Ouyang!
So she found an excuse.
Ran to room 2202.
…
As the sun set over the western hills,
Lin Lang still couldn’t complete the five consecutive masterpieces in one day.
Because he paid more attention to the quality of each session!
However,
every woman who came out of Lin Lang’s room had an indescribably wonderful expression on her face!
Yet they all kept their lips sealed!
Seeing this,
the women further down the line felt increasingly anxious!
…
Finally!
Lin Lang took two days,
letting a few women witness his version 2.0 equipment!
Their amazement,
gave Lin Lang a sense of satisfaction!
Meanwhile, upstairs, Xu Bing and Yu Anni,
were also tormented during these two days.
Each one with panda-like eyes!
…
During this period,
Lin Lang noticed one problem!
That is—
he hadn’t received any material returns from Ouyang Yunzhi in these two days!
Not even once!
Logically speaking,
two whole days should be enough for Ouyang Yunzhi to eat something, drink some water, right?
But there was none at all!
Lin Lang was somewhat puzzled:
“Does she not eat, drink, or show up? Could it be she’s off cultivating?”
…
The hardworking days passed by one after another.
On this day,
it was finally Lu Xiaoxing’s birthday!
The women put a lot of effort into decorating room 2102 beautifully—
Balloons hung on the walls.
Streamers draped from the ceiling.
Multi-colored stickers adorned the cheeks.
…
The ladies all prepared birthday gifts for Lu Xiaoxing—
Gu Fei baked a big cake!
And gifted a teddy bear that was taller than Lu Xiaoxing!
Ning Shuangyu gave her a small knife for self-defense.
Yu Anni presented her with a piano model she brought from Brocade Cloud Residence!
It’s small and exquisite, and can even produce sound!
Seems quite valuable!
Xu Bing came up with a unique idea, gifting a glass bottle.
Inside, there were wish stars folded from colorful paper with blessings written on them!
And as Lu Xiaoxing’s godmother, Tang Lingyu was particularly attentive!
She gifted a gold lock!
And a set of new clothes—made from her own clothes which she dismantled for material; then tailor-made by hand!
Plus a set of stationery, many storybooks,
and a tablet!
As for Godfather Lin Lang,
he gifted her an upper grade Telekinesis Pill.
And,
cast a Divine Sense Mark on the gold lock given by Tang Lingyu.
…
When giving the gifts,
Tang Lingyu expressed her hope for Xiaoxing to grow up happily and healthily!
The little girl was immediately moved to tears.
She hugged Tang Lingyu tight, calling her mom.
This scene,
touched the other women deeply.
But giving gifts has always been a headache!
Especially for Lü Su Ran and Leng Wei at this moment—
They arrived with nothing on them!
So naturally, there wasn’t much they could gift!
Therefore, they turned to Lin Lang for help.
In Lin Lang’s space, there were many toys he scavenged from the high-end supermarkets in Jiangbei Villa District!
He let them out in one go, piling them in the room.
Leaving them to choose at will.
…
Lü Su Ran played it safe and selected a Barbie doll set that no little girl could resist!
Leng Wei gifted a Werewolf card game, saying it was to train her assassination thinking first.
…
They might be the only group celebrating a birthday amidst the apocalypse!
Together, they sang songs!
Made wishes.
Ate cake.
Played a few rounds of Werewolf game—
In those rounds, Lü Su Ran and Lin Lang alternately won!
The others were eliminated thoroughly!
Making Xu Bing exclaim dark dealings!
In any case,
everyone continued their fun till late into the night.
Until Lu Xiaoxing also got tired.
Tang Lingyu finally took her back.
…
Xingfu District.
Building A, 103.
Lu Xiaoxing stealthily pushed open the door.
But discovered the room was pitch black!
“Has brother not come back yet?”
She mumbled and then turned on the light.
Only to find!
Her brother, Lu Qiang, was sitting on the sofa.
And on the table in the middle of the room!
There was a fist-sized dry bread!
With eight matches stuck on top!
“Brother!”
She instinctively, sneakily placed the exquisite cake she brought back beside the shoe cabinet.
Lu Qiang raised an eyebrow:
“Did you forget what today is? Happy birthday!”
“Wow! Thank you, brother!”
Lu Xiaoxing bounced over, leaning on the table, observing this unique “birthday cake”!
Lu Qiang’s mouth curled into a smile, and he said proudly:
“Today, your brother hunted down a D+ level Fierce Beast! Besides survival supplies, I even exchanged for a bread!”
“But that’s nothing!”
“In the future, your brother will kill more beasts, and sooner or later get you a real birthday cake!”
Stars appeared in Lu Xiaoxing’s eyes:
“Brother is really amazing!”
Lu Qiang lit the matches on the bread and then said:
“Make a wish! Blow out the candles!”
“Okay!”
Lu Xiaoxing clasped her hands, silently repeating her wish from today in her heart:
’I hope my brother, godmother, godfather, and those sisters can stay by my side forever…’
Then, she blew out the “candles.”
Lu Qiang cut the “cake” for her.
This “cake” was dry and bitter, but she ate it happily and with satisfaction!
Lu Qiang scoffed disdainfully:
“Look at you, so unambitious!”
“Once you grow up, your brother will find you a Superpower Fruit!”
“Make you an incredibly powerful Superpower User! Skilled in both arts and martial arts…”
But halfway through his words!
Lu Qiang suddenly froze.
He seemed to have noticed something strange.
So he stood up with a peculiar look.
Under Lu Xiaoxing’s panicked and fearful gaze.
Walked to the shoe cabinet.
Picked up a real birthday cake.
Soft and fluffy.
Topped with cream, chocolate, and assorted fruits…
Lu Qiang compared it to the bread he prepared.
His expression suddenly dimmed:
“Is this the birthday your godfather and godmother are celebrating for you?”
Lu Xiaoxing timidly replied:
“Yes…”
Lu Qiang asked again:
“Did they prepare birthday gifts for you?”
Lu Xiaoxing hesitated.
Lu Qiang immediately put on a stern face:
“You used to never lie to brother!”
Lu Xiaoxing was startled, then lowered her head and confessed:
“Yes, they did…”
“What did they give?”
“Dolls, clothes, computers…”
“So much huh.”
Lu Qiang’s expression turned somber.
Then, he took out a palm-sized, roughly carved wooden sculpture from behind.
But it was shaped like himself.
The wooden figure, head high, full of spirit!
Not refined, but very lifelike!
“Then, if you have them, you don’t need brother’s protection anymore…”
He forcefully smashed the sculpture on the ground.
It shattered.
“No!”
Lu Xiaoxing ran over crying, picked up the broken pieces of the sculpture, and held them in her arms.
“I want brother! I want brother!”
Her sobbing was heart-wrenching.
At this sight.
Lu Qiang immediately softened.
He regretted being so impulsive.
He bent down to embrace his sister, though his tone was still impatient:
“Alright! What’s the point of crying! It’s just a broken piece of wood, I’ll carve another one for you later!”
Lu Xiaoxing choked up:
“It’s not broken wood! It’s precious wood!”
Lu Qiang snorted coldly:
“Alright! Go to sleep early!”
…
After a simple wash.
The siblings climbed onto their respective beds.
Both turned their backs cooperatively.
No exchange with each other.
Their beds were not far apart.
In the dark.
Only the sound of their breathing could be heard.
It had been a long time.
Lu Qiang was still awake.
He turned his side and sighed toward his sister’s silhouette:
“Brother just doesn’t want to become a useless brother…”
Lu Xiaoxing, who was supposed to be in dreamland, replied decisively:
“Brother is the most useful brother!”
After a moment of silence.
Lu Xiaoxing turned around and said:
“Brother! Godfather and godmother are really nice! You should meet them too!”
“They have lots of food there!”
“You wouldn’t have to work so hard every day hunting for Fierce Beasts anymore!”
Upon hearing this!
Lu Qiang was infuriated and scolded:
“Your brother is a dignified Superpower User!”
“You want me to beg for food?”
“With my strength alone, I can still make a name for myself in this apocalypse!”
“If you want to please them, go yourself!”
After saying that.
Lu Qiang went to sleep on the couch in the living room!
Lu Xiaoxing felt very wronged!
Turned her back again.
Tears silently streamed onto the pillow.
…
The next day.
Lu Qiang went out early.
Continued to follow the team to hunt Fierce Beasts in the wilderness.
And this time in the team.
There were a few new faces.
They were a batch of refugees who came to seek refuge in Xingfu District yesterday.
Zhang Dabin accepted all of them as usual.
Lu Qiang observed those people for a long time.
Then.
He said to one of the particularly beautiful women:
“Hey! Newcomer!”
“There aren’t many women daring enough to hunt Fierce Beasts!”
“You’re quite impressive, you’ve managed to catch my attention!”
“If you don’t want to die, follow me once we’re out!”
“I, the master, can protect you!”
Upon hearing this!
The woman gave him a cold glance.
Lu Qiang did not give up and pursued further:
“What’s your name?”
The woman answered indifferently:
“Ding Xinrou.”
“Oh?” Lu Qiang arrogantly shook his hair, “Quite a unique name!”
