Chapter 83: Serving the Wife's Wake‑up

Seeing the door only a few millimeters from his nose, Lin Zhi Jing felt no surprise at all; he pursed his thin lips and helplessly closed his eyes, having never hoped that this group of male beastmen would generously let him move in.

But he still held onto a sliver of hope—what if? —so he came anyway.

"Hmph, stingy."

The people inside had no idea that Doctor Lin outside was cursing them; they were in the midst of a heated discussion about how to sleep tonight.

"I want to sleep next to my wife!", Yi Yang declared recklessly; even if Bao Jing shot him a threatening glare from across the room, he wouldn't back down—worst case he'd get a beating from Bao Jing, which would be worth it.

"No way, with your build, if you fall asleep deeply at night and end up pressing on An'an, what would we do?"

Bao Jing's remark was partly because he didn't want Yi Yang sleeping next to Ye Xi'an, and partly because he had his own considerations.

Ye Xi'an wasn't sleeping normally; if Yi Yang really pressed on her at night, she might not wake up even if she suffocated, so to be safe, it's better to be cautious.

"Who says I'll crush my wife?! I've had professional training—I don't snore when I sleep, I don't toss and turn, and I certainly don't sweat enough to dirty the bed; stop framing me."

Bao Jing's eyes narrowed: "Yi Yang, you're itching for a fight, aren't you?" Saying that, he rolled up the sleeves of his robe, ready to give this disobedient younger brother a proper lesson.

Although it's called a lesson, it's really just a little scuffle; no one will actually get hurt.

But Yi Yang was still afraid; he hurriedly hid behind Ji Jiangci: "Brother Ji! Save me!"

Ji Jiangci had a headache from their arguing; "Isn't it just about sleeping?" He stepped in to stop Bao Jing, who was about to hit someone: "Enough, you two each sleep on your own side—what's there to argue about?"

Yi Yang poked his head out from behind Ji Jiangci, tone tinged with doubt: "And what about you, Brother Ji?"

"I'll sleep at the other end." He didn't want to sleep next to this bunch of immature idiots.

But Yi Yang only thought Ji Jiangci went to sleep at the other end to make room for him, and he was moved beyond words: "Brother Ji, you're so nice, just like my dad~"

"Get lost!"

Ji Jiangci was utterly disgusted; if his child turned out as naive and sweet as Yi Yang, he'd rather not have one, lest the child suffer.

Bao Jing and Yi Yang quickly found comfortable spots, one on the left and one on the right holding Ye Xi'an, while Ji Jiangci drew the curtains, lowered the indoor temperature a bit, and fell asleep.

In the morning, hotel guests bustled about packing their belongings to leave; noisy sounds came from the doorway corridor, waking Ye Xi'an, who had slept through the night.

Her long, curled eyelashes twitched slightly as she struggled to lift her eyelids; sunlight streamed into Ye Xi'an's violet irises, scattering a beautiful, captivating glow.

She felt a bit dazed, as if she hadn't yet realized where she was; the innocence in her eyes was endearing, like a small animal's.

Ye Xi'an sat up, rubbing her slightly sore eyes, and unintentionally glanced to the side—she nearly had a heart attack at the sight of three incredibly handsome men.

Still shaken, she curled up her body to look at the three; after a while she recognized them as Bao Jing and the others.

But they were nothing like their usual selves right now.

Although the clothes were ones Ye Xi'an had picked out and recognized, wearing them on them made them seem completely different.

Each looked like a model about to walk the runway, especially Bao Jing—his black hair swept back revealed a full forehead and sharp brows, a style totally different from his usual hair left hanging down.

Moreover, she felt the three had become noticeably paler.

"You guys. What are you all doing standing here?"

"Of course we're here to serve my wife getting up."

After Yi Yang finished speaking, the three of them closed in.

Bao Jing reached out and placed his hand on Ye Xi'an's waist, undoing her clothing sash to take off her robe; frightened, Ye Xi'an hurriedly shielded herself and kicked him in the chest.

"I can do it myself!"

"No no!", Yi Yang, now in an excited state, was about to put all his life's learning to use on Ye Xi'an; taking advantage of her inattention, he ripped off her robe.

Bao Jing was just as quick-eyed and quick-handed; before Ye Xi'an even realized Yi Yang had stripped her clothes, Bao Jing had already slipped the underwear up from her ankles, and Ji Jiangci lifted her buttocks, raising them so the pink lace underwear snugly wrapped around Ye Xi'an's rear.

Ye Xi'an's face flushed red; she looked at the three with an indescribable expression, her eyes full of fear: "Enough! I'll handle the rest myself!"

"No way, hehehe! Wife, I'm coming!"

The three extended their sinister hands, fiddling with Ye Xi'an's body; after a series of screams, they stepped back, and Ye Xi'an, limp like a ragdoll, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Yi Yang gazed at Ye Xi'an entranced, Bao Jing's eyes full of fluttering excitement, and Ji Jiangci admired his perfect creation.

The female before them wore a pure white strapless dress that exposed her clean shoulders and delicate collarbones; the hem was an irregular ruffle; her purple hair was coiled into a bun, playfully perched on one side of Ye Xi'an's head, with loose curls falling beside her ears, making her look even more charming; though she wore no makeup, she was already perfect.

Ye Xi'an stumbled off the bed in a daze, looking at the white strap sandals on her feet and her overly tender skin, unable to imagine what she looked like at that moment.

She walked to the bathroom, and when she saw her reflection clearly in the mirror, a flash of astonishment crossed her face.

"Is this still me?"

"Of course it is!", Ji Jiangci handed her a cup of milk: "Wife, you'll become even more beautiful if you wash up every day from now on, but for now let's eat first."

Seeing a table full of buns and dumplings, plus milk, Ye Xi'an blinked in surprise—weren't they unable to pay for anything?

"Where did this food come from?"

"It was brought by Doctor Lin.", Yi Yang roughly calculated in his mind: "Buying vegetables last night probably cost about 1,500; adding these and the labor fee, you should transfer 2,000 to Doctor Lin, wife."

Ye Xi'an opened the vegetables Yi Yang had bought: "What vegetables are so expensive?"

It turned out to be nothing but ordinary cabbage, peppers, and tomatoes—this inflation on Zhu Shen Xing is absolutely outrageous.

"Wife, you don't understand.", Yi Yang said while eating: "The soil on Zhu Shen Xing is barren; you can't grow grain or vegetables at all. These were obtained by the clan taking on missions to fetch them from outer space—food can be said to be more expensive than housing, so 1,500 is already cheap."

Saying that, Yi Yang made Ye Xi'an suddenly recall her own little world; after finishing her meal, her spiritual form entered the little world to check on the fruit trees she had planted before.

But the scene before her exceeded her expectations; these transplanted fruit trees not only survived but were lush, growing much faster than normal, with some fruits already rotted and fallen to the ground, ready to sprout new life.
