The morning of the apocalypse. The faint light of dawn struggled to pierce through the broken clouds, casting a weak glow over the once-glorious city.
A sharp, strange bird call pierced the silence.
The sound echoed through the air, carrying an eerie rhythm, as if it originated from the depths of this desolate world.
"Damn, these birds in this world, their calls are so loud?" Ye Xin woke up from his sleep in a daze. He put on his clothes and walked to the window to find the source of the noise.
Across hundreds of meters of open space, two flying Ability beasts were fighting. Why call them flying Ability beasts? He had never seen birds so big, covered in thorns.
"Holy cow... the feathers on these birds are so big..." He closed the curtains, out of sight, out of mind. These flying zombie birds were especially troublesome to deal with; it was best to avoid them.
Su Momo and the others in the master bedroom next door were also woken up. Everyone had been very tired these days, and it was rare to get a good night's sleep, only to be disturbed by the idiotic birds.
"Ugh, so annoying." Su Duoduo threw herself onto the sofa with a displeased expression, burying her head in the pillow. She fell asleep again in no time.
"Ugh! Duoduo, that was some good sleep." Xie Wan'er yawned and looked around. Just the three of them were in the huge living room, so she asked Su Momo, "Has Gege and Aunt Wu woken up yet?"
"It's only six in the morning... They're probably still sleeping. I'm so hungry, I'm getting sick of eating snacks..." Several bags of snacks were on the table, but Su Momo had eaten them for three days and was already tired of them.
They glanced at the kitchen and then looked at each other, shaking their heads. They sighed helplessly. They were pampered since childhood, and they were still young; they didn't dare to think about cooking.
"Does Aunt Wu know how to cook?" Xie Wan'er asked.
"She does. Yesterday she helped others condense water molecules in the air and exhausted her mental power, so let her rest."
Hearing this, they didn't bother her and, with sour faces, reminisced about the delicious food they had eaten before.
Ye Xin, after getting ready, also came out of the bedroom and found that the three little ones were all lying on the sofa looking listless, so he cleared his throat gently. "Ahem..."
However, the three girls ignored him, only wanting to eat a hot meal.
Ye Xin saw that they weren't reacting, so he awkwardly spoke again, "Duoduo, Wan'er, you two go distribute the food to those people. Give them the portions for noon as well, and tell them to gather here at 12 noon."
"Why don't you go? They're your people, not mine... Hmph..." Su Duoduo was sound asleep. Ye Xin made her work, and her strong dissatisfaction puffed out her cheeks, making her look very cute.
"Aren't my people your people? My cute little Duoduo, your Ability is the most convenient in this situation. I'm begging you, little sister."
Su Duoduo buried her head in the pillow, covered her ears with her small hands, and wiggled her feet, protesting with her actions.
Seeing this, Ye Xin picked up Su Duoduo and coaxed, "Be good. When you come back, I'll make you breakfast…"
"Really!?" Hearing about breakfast, Su Duoduo jumped up in surprise. After Ye Xin confirmed it, she excitedly shouted, "Breakfast! I want to eat the Century Egg and Vegetable Porridge and Potato Pancake you made last time! Sister Wan'er, let's go complete the mission first."
After saying that, Su Duoduo pulled Wan'er, carrying two bags filled with bread and milk, and disappeared into the living room.
"Brother... Did you send them away on purpose? Do you have something you want to tell me alone?" Su Momo pursed her lips and blinked her big eyes, looking very charming.
"Momo... you're really smart." Two identical, lovely girls, with completely opposite personalities. One was pure and naturally intelligent, the other was a quirky, clever goofball.
Ye Xin leaned in and hugged her, letting her chin rest on his shoulder, and spoke softly, "It's nothing much, just wanted to hug you..." Ye Xin had peeked into her heart and learned a lot. If memories could seep into the bones, Su Momo was essentially a reborn person with a tragic past.
However, the trajectory of life in this world had been completely altered.
"You and Duoduo, are you thinking about whether the Godly Venerable can live forever..." Ye Xin had never asked directly, as he had been unable to find a suitable opportunity to chat with Su Momo alone.
"Brother already knows..." Su Momo didn't give a direct answer, but her hesitant and evasive eyes said it all.
Ye Xin said very seriously, "I will stop the tragedy from happening to the Su family, and I will protect you both until the day you become Godly Venerable. Since we teamed up, I've occasionally heard your true thoughts. If you really become Godly Venerable, don't give up on any opportunities because of me."
The benefits and strength that the King System brought him were undeniable, but who knew what the future held? Of all the hero skills he currently knew, none had the ability to grant immortality.
Was it Sun Bin's time reversal, or Taiyi's resurrection? Neither seemed likely.
If other worlds had the elixir of youth, Su Momo, having crossed the wheel of time, might have aged long ago.
"It won't happen... I've already decided to be with you in a simple life. What does it matter if I succeed or not..." Su Momo said with a chuckle, having no intention of further pursuing opportunities.
He held her small, fragrant tongue in his mouth, kissing her passionately. Su Momo was awkward in her first kiss. His large hands unconsciously reached for the jade-like MT beneath her skirt.
Creak!
The door was pushed open.
The two separated shyly. Aunt Su Wu stared strangely at them and asked, "Miss, why is your face so red? Did this stinky rascal do something to you?"
"No... nothing..." Su Momo looked extremely nervous, as if caught doing something wrong.
Seeing the intense atmosphere, Ye Xin quickly said, "Uh... um... I'll go cook..."
Without waiting for them to answer, he quickly slipped into the kitchen and started bustling about.
The presidential suite was fully equipped, even having a small private kitchen. The refrigerator contained all sorts of seafood, meat, and vegetables. Not many people could afford to live on this floor, and the key card was always kept with Aunt Su Wu. That's why the suite hadn't been ransacked.
He made Century Egg and Vegetable Porridge according to Su Duoduo's request, adding some lean meat for extra flavor. Since there were no potatoes, he substituted tomatoes and made Tomato Egg Pancakes instead.
At the dining table, Su Duoduo happily ate her breakfast. Sacrificing her sleep time to busy herself for a while was worthwhile; she could eat more with this level of exertion.
Ye Xin also indulged her and made extra portions, letting her eat her fill.
"Wah... I haven't eaten this in ages. Big bully, I take back what I said about your cooking not being as good as our chef's. You'll make our meals from now on."
"Brother... They say that boys who can cook are the most charming. Look, you have three cute little girlfriends. Do you have the heart to let them eat those snacks every day? It'll affect their figures, you know." Xie Wan'er also started to flatter him, mainly because they were really hungry these days.
"Brother..." Su Momo looked at him imploringly.
"Alright, alright... look at Aunt Wu, she just makes some porridge and pancakes, and you guys are making a big deal out of it. Just say you're lazy. Right, Aunt Wu?" Just cooking and adding ingredients could elevate them to the heavens; their intentions were obvious – they wanted him to be the cook in the future. He wouldn't do something like that if he could avoid it.
"Little Ye, it's delicious... How about... after we have a place to stay, you do the cooking..." Aunt Su Wu said earnestly.
