Chapter 25: Returning

Ye Nan drove the Hummer back to the Tianhong Shopping Mall and entered the warehouse.

Seeing him return, Liu Yue was baffled and asked out of curiosity, "Why are you back?"

"I brought you a gift," Ye Nan said. "I'm sure you'll like it."

"What gift?" Liu Yue asked.

Ye Nan opened the hatch and took out several food containers filled with cooked dishes. Most were braised intestines, but there were also seafood and stir-fried meats, all wafting with a delicious aroma.

Liu Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was the apocalypse; where could one possibly find such high-quality food?

"Do you like it?" Ye Nan asked.

"I do." Smelling the fragrance, Liu Yue suddenly felt her stomach growl.

"These portions are for you. Remember to put what you can't finish in the refrigerator, or it’ll be a waste," Ye Nan instructed.

"Okay." Liu Yue nodded, her charming peach-blossom eyes glistening as she gazed at Ye Nan with infatuation.

Ye Nan touched his cheek and laughed, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there a flower on my face?"

"I just suddenly realized you're quite handsome," Liu Yue murmured coquettishly.

"I’ve always been handsome, haven't I?" Ye Nan retorted.

"Let’s not eat just yet," Liu Yue said with a sultry smile. She gestured toward her ample, proud curves and said in a soft, tingling voice, "Eat me first."

Ye Nan took a deep breath and said with a smirk, "You little vixen. Since you're asking for it, I’ll satisfy you."

...

An hour later, Ye Nan left, feeling thoroughly satisfied. The voluptuous and beautiful Liu Yue had given him the ultimate pleasure, leaving him with an aftertaste he wouldn't soon forget.

Leaving the mall, Ye Nan drove the Hummer back to his apartment complex.

Seeing him return safely, the three women finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Nan had been gone longer than usual, and they were beginning to worry that something might have happened to him.

Thankfully, everything was fine.

Ye Nan laughed, "Why the long faces? Relax, I’m a Level 2 ability user; it’s not that easy for me to run into trouble."

Gong Wanru walked over, about to speak, but caught a distinct scent on him. "You smell like another woman," she said, sounding annoyed.

Li Siqi added with a look of resentment, "Great. We were so worried about you, and you were out chasing flowers."

Ye Nan felt awkward. "Sister Gong, I’m curious, how did you smell that?"

"Women are naturally sensitive to these things," Gong Wanru replied.

Ye Nan suddenly thought about the fresh oranges stored in his Thunder Tower. Perhaps he should rub some on himself next time to mask the scent of women's perfume.

Then he reconsidered. It was the apocalypse now, and he was the one in charge. Why care what the three women thought? If they had a problem, they could leave his safe house.

Of course, Ye Nan knew the three women were only feigning irritation; they weren't truly angry. Especially Gong Wanru, who had even introduced Yan Ruoliu to him previously, showing how open-minded she was about such things.

"Enough of that," Ye Nan said. "Come, let me show you something good."

He pulled out the cooked food from the Thunder Tower and opened the boxes, immediately filling the room with the aroma of meat. The culinary skills of a top-tier chef were no joke; the food looked, smelled, and tasted exquisite.

"Oh my god!" Yan Ruoliu exclaimed, her eyes wide with curiosity. "How did you get this?"

Ye Nan recounted the whole story.

The three women were delighted. Being able to enjoy a top chef's cooking in the middle of the apocalypse felt like a life of luxury.

Gong Wanru said, "No need to cook tonight. Let’s feast on this. Anything left over can go into your Thunder Tower; it won't go bad."

"Eat as much as you want," Ye Nan said. "There’s plenty more in the tower. I’ve made an agreement with two chefs from the Donglin Restaurant to visit them every few days for food. Make a list of what you want, and I’ll have them prepare it in order."

Li Siqi sighed, "I thought I’d lose weight in the apocalypse, but it looks like I’m going to get fat instead."

If the survivors struggling for a single meal could hear that, they would probably want to start a fight.

That evening, the four of them enjoyed a grand feast accompanied by red wine.

After dinner, Ye Nan got to work. He had collected a massive amount of supplies during the day, many of which were useful, such as walkie-talkies, drones, bread makers, and air fryers.

He placed the useful items throughout the safe house. Since it was 500 square meters, there was plenty of space, and it didn't feel crowded at all.

Life was much more convenient now. The only regret was the lack of internet. Otherwise, staying in the safe house would feel exactly like living in a peaceful era.

Recently, Yan Ruoliu and Li Siqi had been practicing yoga with Gong Wanru. It kept them fit, healthy, and flexible—something that men appreciated just as much as women.

The three women practiced both morning and night.

After finishing his chores, Ye Nan had some free time, so he went to watch them.

As he entered the yoga room, he caught them mid-pose, lifting their hips. Their full, round curves were absolutely explosive. Since they were facing away from him, he got a perfect view.

It was a good thing he had already had his fun with Liu Yue earlier, or he might have been tempted to rush in and "discipline" them right then and there.

"You should practice yoga often," Ye Nan said with a mischievous grin. "It has many benefits."

The three women were dressed in tight yoga gear that clung to their figures, highlighting every curve like seductive sirens. Combined with their stunning faces, their allure was off the charts.

For some reason, Ye Nan felt they had a unique charm in yoga wear—a beauty of form that ordinary clothes couldn't match. No wonder so many beautiful influencers on social media wore yoga gear to attract traffic; for a man like him, the temptation was real.

And it wasn't just the curves; it was their assets. He had seen Gong Wanru and Yan Ruoliu's impressive figures before, but Li Siqi was a surprise. Standing at 175cm tall, he had expected her to be less endowed, but she was just as gifted as the others. A true top-tier goddess.

Li Siqi turned around, saw Ye Nan’s wicked gaze, and gritted her teeth. "What are you looking at? Keep staring and I’ll dig your eyes out."

Ye Nan chuckled, "I’m looking at how beautiful you are, especially your figure. Tsk, tsk, top-tier."

"Hmph," Li Siqi snorted, sounding smug. "That’s right. If the apocalypse hadn't happened, a pervert like you would never get a chance with me."

"Why did you stop? Keep going, I won't disturb you," Ye Nan said. He walked behind them and started doing push-ups.

The three women were speechless. It was obvious he was trying to take advantage of them, but beneath their feigned annoyance, they felt a strange, thrilling excitement. What woman didn't want her man to admire her? If he wanted to watch, she decided to let him.

So, the women practiced yoga while Ye Nan did push-ups behind them, admiring the view as he worked out. The way their curves were outlined by the yoga gear was simply perfect, absolutely explosive! Especially their...

His inner turmoil, which had been calmed earlier, flared up again. He secretly resolved to train more. He needed to improve his physical condition; with so many women, he wouldn't be able to handle them all otherwise.

Ye Nan did a full seven hundred push-ups. Even after the women finished their session, he kept going, and now they were watching him work out.

Finding his clothes cumbersome, Ye Nan took off his shirt. Every movement was textbook perfect. If it were an ordinary person, they would have collapsed after a few dozen, but Ye Nan wasn't even winded.

The physical stats of a Level 2 ability user were simply incomparable to an average person.

Li Siqi blushed and whispered, "His body is actually pretty good, especially those eight-pack abs. They look better than the fitness guys I saw online."

Gong Wanru teased, "It’s not just good-looking; his explosive power is strong, too. You haven’t experienced it yet, Siqi. Since your period just ended, why not try it tonight? I guarantee it’ll be unforgettable."

"Sister Gong, you’re so annoying!" Li Siqi blushed and shot Gong Wanru a sharp look.

Yan Ruoliu added, "Sister Gong is right. As women, it’s something we all go through. I was quite resistant to it at first, but this guy tamed me completely. Now, I’ve fallen in love with that feeling."

Li Siqi was speechless, not knowing what to say. The thought of getting intimate with Ye Nan made her heart race uncontrollably. But if it came to that, she wouldn't resist. As she spent more time with him, she realized Ye Nan was actually a decent man. In the apocalypse, having a powerful man to protect her—what more could she ask for?

Gong Wanru leaned into Li Siqi’s ear and said meaningfully, "Siqi, as experienced ones, do you want us to give you some advice?"

"No way!" Li Siqi shook her head immediately.

Gong Wanru looked at her with a knowing smile. "Are you sure?"

Li Siqi hesitated, then nodded, her face glowing beet red.

Gong Wanru and Yan Ruoliu exchanged glances, thinking to themselves that Ye Nan was truly lucky to have such top-tier goddesses.

At that moment, Ye Nan had finished a thousand push-ups. Still not satisfied, he moved on to sit-ups.

One hundred. Two hundred. Three hundred. Four hundred.

He didn't stop until he reached one thousand. He calculated that he needed at least this much training every day to maintain his health. Being an ability user had one downside: training took a massive amount of time because normal levels of exercise weren't enough. He had to do ten or even twenty times the amount. If he reached Level 3, he had no idea how he’d manage his training.

Ye Nan sighed and shook his head with a wry smile.

Nearby, the three women were stunned. He had done a thousand push-ups and a thousand sit-ups without breaking a sweat. It was simply outrageous.

Li Siqi sighed, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "Sister Gong, Sister Yan, how do you two handle him? Don't you pass out?"

Gong Wanru looked embarrassed. After a moment of silence, she said, "His strength and physical condition have improved again. If it’s too much, we should just find more sisters. With everyone sharing the burden, it’ll be much easier."

"You're right," Yan Ruoliu said, suddenly remembering something. "Siqi, didn't you say you had a sister? Once we rescue her, things will be easier for us."

"Oh, so you’re trying to take advantage of my sister? No way!" Li Siqi shook her head, feeling like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Gong Wanru advised, "You have to understand, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you don’t agree, your sister won’t be able to live here. Even if she did, it would create a rift between us."

Li Siqi hadn't considered this, but she had to face reality. Gong Wanru was right. If her sister didn't become Ye Nan’s woman, how could she stay in the safe house? And if she did move in, wouldn't it be incredibly awkward for her to watch them with Ye Nan?

It seemed the best solution was to pull her sister into the fold. But that meant letting Ye Nan win again.

Hmph! Li Siqi felt a burst of frustration.

"What are you whispering about?" Ye Nan finished his workout and put his clothes back on.

Yan Ruoliu gave a mysterious smile. "I’ll tell you a secret."

"What secret?" Ye Nan asked, curious.

Yan Ruoliu winked at him and said suggestively, "Siqi’s period is over."

Ye Nan paused for a moment before the realization hit him. A wicked grin spread across his face. "Alright, Siqi. Come to my room tonight; I’ll teach you some... physiological knowledge."

"You big pervert! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I’m not going!" Li Siqi snapped.

"We’ll light a candle and talk about life and ideals all night. How exciting—don't refuse me," Ye Nan said.

Yan Ruoliu grabbed one of Li Siqi’s long, beautiful legs and sighed with envy. "These legs of yours—not only do men love them, women do too. It’s a shame someone is going to benefit from them tonight."

Li Siqi glared at her. "Sister Yan, even you're bullying me."

"It’s getting late. I’m going to rest. I’ll be waiting for your battle report tomorrow morning," Yan Ruoliu said, giving Li Siqi a suggestive look before heading to her room.

"I’m going to rest, too. It’s a rare opportunity, so seize it," Gong Wanru whispered, "Your legs are long and strong—use them well."

With that, Gong Wanru left as well.

"You... you... you’re all terrible!" Li Siqi groaned, feeling helpless.

"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Come, my lady, it’s time for the bridal chamber," Ye Nan said, his eyes lighting up like bulbs as he stared at her legs.

"I don't want to!" Li Siqi tried to jump up and run, but Ye Nan caught her.

"Come on, my lady." Ignoring her protests, he scooped her up and carried her into the room.

"You jerk, I hate you!" Li Siqi pounded on his chest, but seeing she couldn't escape, she eventually gave in.

Ye Nan made Li Siqi change into a flight attendant uniform, complete with a cap, black stockings, and red-bottomed high heels.

Li Siqi already had a supermodel height of 175cm. With the 12cm heels, she was almost taller than Ye Nan—a perfect sense of conquest.

"My lady, I’m coming for you! Heh heh heh—no, wait, *je-je-je-je-je*!" Ye Nan laughed wickedly and pounced.
