Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Deep in Tenderness, Immovable as a Mountain
"I'm just 1,200 survival points short of another ten consecutive draws. It seems like I've already done 70 draws, and only 30 more are needed to guarantee a red card."
"Although red cards aren't as good as gold cards, they're still a hundred times better than purple cards."
"I wonder what kind of red card I might draw and what kind of improvement it will bring."
As Zeng Shen pondered, he began to think about how to tell Li Yuqing in a few days that he'd like to visit other cities.
As he was thinking, the enticing aroma from the kitchen started to make him hungry.
Immediately, he got up and washed up.
When he finished, he found that Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti had already prepared three small stir-fried dishes and a pot of white porridge on the living room table.
"Master, breakfast is ready," Xiao Ai said, taking off her apron and smiling as she approached.
Zeng Shen nodded, sat down on the sofa, took the porridge served by Xiao Ti, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating while chatting about what they planned to do today.
Soon, breakfast was over, and Xiao Ai went to wash the dishes.
Zeng Shen took Xiao Ti to the No. 1 Space Warehouse to start today's sparring session.
"Xiao Ti, I won't use any abilities this time, so don't hold back," Zeng Shen said.
"Understood, Master," Xiao Ti nodded, clenching her fists and assuming a defensive stance.
Immediately, Zeng Shen rushed towards Xiao Ti, and as he got close, he attempted a flying kick.
However, Xiao Ti merely sidestepped, and in the moment he hadn't recovered, she grabbed his arm, pulled him forward, and pushed him down.
In an instant, Zeng Shen was pushed to the ground.
Xiao Ti didn't give him any chance to counterattack, quickly pinning him down, locking his arms against his back. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.
[Host remained immovable as a mountain in the battle with follower Xiao Ti, divine experience +5.]
Hearing the system prompt, Zeng Shen blushed with embarrassment despite his struggles.
This system sure knows how to flatter!
What does "immovable as a mountain" mean? Clearly, he was easily defeated.
Seeing Zeng Shen stop struggling, Xiao Ti released him and helped him up.
"Master, are you hurt?"
"No," Zeng Shen shook his head, "I just didn't expect you to be so fast, almost as fast as when I use a twofold agility boost."
"Master, I was using my normal speed. It felt fast to you because, at the moment you acted, the mechanical core in my head simulated hundreds of scenarios. From the slight movement of your shoulder, I knew exactly how many meters away you would kick."
"I see," Zeng Shen understood, "So you're saying you didn't even use your full strength to subdue me."
Xiao Ti nodded slightly.
"Alright, sparring with you is like asking for a beating unless I use abilities to boost my speed beyond your ability to react."
"But using abilities only yields one experience point."
With that, Zeng Shen took Xiao Ti back to the bedroom and then left the Lucky Community with Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti, who needed to handle their identities.
Just as they got into the RV, Li Yuqing called via video on WeChat.
Seeing this, Xiao Ai considerately suggested, "Master, the mistress is calling. She might want to chat for a while. We'll take a cab to the southern dance hall to get our overseas returnee identities."
Zeng Shen agreed, "Alright, I've heard that area is known for double-crossing. Take care."
"Okay."
After Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti left.
Zeng Shen sat in the RV and answered the video call. Li Yuqing appeared on the screen in a white short-sleeved shirt.
"Hubby, hubby, our short video just got approved, and there are so many comments," Li Yuqing said with a smile.
"What are they saying?"
Zeng Shen asked as he started the RV.
Li Yuqing happily replied, "Many people are asking what movie this is a trailer for since they can't find it online. Some are even asking which actresses play Jinlu Fairy and Su Daji."
"Haha, how's the fan growth?"
Zeng Shen laughed.
"In such a short time, we've gone from zero to fifteen hundred fans, and it's still increasing."
"Looks like the debut was a hit."
"Yes, hubby, if this trend continues, we'll soon be featured in regional recommendations."
While chatting with Li Yuqing, Zeng Shen collected survival points around the neighborhood before stopping at the Li Huo Martial Arts Club and getting out of the RV with his phone.
Seeing Zeng Shen get out, Li Yuqing curiously asked, "Hubby, where are you going?"
"I'm planning to train at the martial arts club," Zeng Shen replied.
"Oh, so you're going to exercise. I'll take a nap then. Let's book a private room at the new restaurant downstairs to celebrate tonight."
"Sure."
After hanging up on Li Yuqing's video call, Zeng Shen entered the Li Huo Martial Arts Club to earn points.
Once he completed all the daily survival tasks.
His survival points reached 11,780.
He was ready for another ten consecutive draws.
However, he didn't draw immediately.
Instead, he went to a nearby restaurant to celebrate with Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong after teaching them the new self-defense techniques he learned from Li Zhiyuan.
Soon, the small private room table was filled with over ten hearty dishes, and a large plate of grilled oysters was still being prepared.
"This much?" Zeng Shen was surprised.
"We're celebrating, hubby, eat up."
"What about drinks?" Liu Tongtong asked.
Li Yuqing said, "I remember hubby doesn't drink much, but he likes sweet fruit wine. I'll have the waiter buy two cases of the fruit wine he likes."
Zeng Shen initially wanted to refuse, but hearing it wasn't strong liquor or beer, he said, "One case should be enough."
"No worries, we can store the rest in the car for later."
"Alright then."
Soon, the waiter brought a case of colorful fruit wines.
Li Yuqing quickly filled everyone's glasses and said, "Hubby, Tongtong, let's drink to our studio's successful debut."
Li Yuqing raised her glass, and Zeng Shen did the same, clinking glasses with them.
"Cheers."
After a glass of fruit wine, the conversation flowed.
They talked about the studio's future development, reminisced about school days, and how Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong first met in kindergarten.
Zeng Shen enjoyed the atmosphere, or perhaps after knowing the catastrophe would hit in a year, his mindset changed significantly.
He cherished these peaceful times with Li Yuqing even more.
That night, the three ate until 11:30.
Liu Tongtong drank a lot but was still in high spirits, and before they knew it, they finished both cases of fruit wine.
The sweet wine went down smoothly, seemingly mild, but with the spicy dishes and time, it gradually hit hard.
Zeng Shen hadn't drunk much, just over four bottles, but his tolerance was low. By the second bottle, he was tipsy, and soon he was entirely muddled.
"Check, please."
Holding his dizzy head, Zeng Shen went to the counter to pay, then returned to the private room, gathering the equally tipsy Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong to head to the studio's entrance, pressing his hand against the smart lock.
Ding dong.
The door opened.
Li Yuqing and Liu Tongtong drunkenly chatted all the way.
When the door opened, Li Yuqing asked in a daze, "Hubby, are we home?"
"We're home," Zeng Shen nodded, struggling to focus as he held the two women close and walked inside.
Just as they entered.
Liu Tongtong, leaning on Zeng Shen, blinked her eyes and asked, "We're home, so what now?"
Zeng Shen closed the door with his foot, standing there for a moment before saying, "Sleep."
"Yes, go home and sleep," Li Yuqing, resting her head on Zeng Shen's arm, murmured, her lips slightly parted, her face flushed with a mysterious excitement in her eyes as she drunkenly said, "Hubby, how about the three of us sleep together tonight?"
"Sleep together?" Zeng Shen mumbled, recalling Li Yuqing's secret he discovered a few days ago, and absentmindedly said, "I'm fine with it, ask Tongtong."
Liu Tongtong, with a charming and silly smile, suddenly seemed excited.
"Sleep together, and undress first."
"Yes."
"Let's go, sleep in the bedroom."
In his haze, Zeng Shen wasn't sure what he said, only that when he lay down with his eyes closed, he felt four small hands starting to undress him, and then it felt like he sank into molten lava, completely losing consciousness.
