In the bathroom, water flowed with a rushing sound.

"Sister... I'm a little scared." Xu Xiaomeng's incredibly pure face was tinged with crimson.

Sigh... Sister is scared too.

Xu Ruyan sighed inwardly and comforted: "It's fine, just think of it like getting pricked by a needle. When the time comes, you can just cover your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaomeng's cheeks turned even redder—the mental image was so vivid.

"And it's not certain anything will actually happen." Xu Ruyan deliberately put on a carefree manner: "I used to do fitness training before. When the time comes, I'll just sit on him until he's exhausted, then he won't have any energy left."

Xu Xiaomeng lowered her head for a look and discovered her sister really did somewhat resemble a millstone.

Although Xu Ruyan was purely Eastern in heritage, her figure was very much like a Westerner's.

Meanwhile, Sherry, the mixed-race one, had a very well-proportioned figure, similar to the film sweetheart type like Anne Hathaway, except it was a case of slender branches bearing abundant fruit.

"Okay..." Xu Xiaomeng nodded, half-convinced and half-doubting in her heart.

Her sister hadn't really dated much and probably wasn't familiar with that aspect of things, otherwise she wouldn't be this nervous either.

After all, they were sisters and knew each other very well.

...

When Xu Ruyan and Xu Xiaomeng, wrapped in bathrobes and extremely apprehensive, arrived in the living room, they discovered Xu Lang wasn't there.

"Where's Xu Lang?" Xu Ruyan looked toward Tong Qi and asked.

All three women were in the living room, but Tong Qi seemed the friendliest.

"Exercising in the study." Tong Qi stood up with a smile, saying cheerfully: "Come over quickly and have some snacks, I just managed to find three packs of absolutely delicious potato chips."

Tong Qi didn't have many other hobbies, she just liked eating small snacks.

Xu Ruyan walked over to the coffee table and sat down, her bottom squirming restlessly, feeling quite constrained. Her gaze fell on Wang Yazhi, who was practicing sword techniques, and she said softly: "Do both Wang Yazhi and Xu Lang have cultivation skills?"

"Yep." Tong Qi nodded, handing the potato chips to Xu Xiaomeng.

"Thank you." Xu Xiaomeng's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

Xu Ruyan suddenly understood: "That's really enviable, no wonder you all hardly ever go out."

Tong Qi chuckled and opened two more cans of cola.

At this point, Xu Ruyan truly began to feel uncomfortable.

How was this any different from peaceful times?

Taking baths, eating potato chips, drinking cola—all that was missing was binge-watching dramas.

Compared to Xu Ruyan, Xu Xiaomeng quickly relaxed—the potato chips were delicious, and both Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan were nice too.

It seemed they had come to the right place.

...

"Whew, finally maxed it out." In the study, Xu Lang stood steady and withdrew his energy, exhaling deeply. His breath resembled a long dragon, lingering without dispersing.

[Effect 1 (Dragon Elephant Treasure Body 13/13): Long-term practice of Dragon Elephant Combat Method, maximum increase of 13 points in physique]

After acquiring the Blood Contract·Pureblood Vampire skill, Xu Lang's martial arts talent had increased again.

Unlike Meditation technique, Dragon Elephant Combat Method heavily depended on personal talent. Now, with his perception fully activated, he could even hear others' heartbeat sounds, his insight reaching minute details—ordinary martial artists definitely didn't have such conditions.

[Attributes: Physique 40, Spirit 21]

With Dragon Elephant Combat Method maxed out, his physique had just reached 40 points.

"I wonder if the supermarket will spawn cultivation techniques this time. If it does, I won't need to use Nightmare Coins to upgrade skills anymore."

Xu Lang speculated to himself, his gaze suddenly shifting toward the door.

Knock knock~

"Lang Ge, it's almost seven o'clock." Tong Qi's voice came through.

Xu Lang casually grabbed a towel to wipe his sweat, then walked over to open the door.

In the living room, all the women were gathered on the sofa, staring at the radio on the coffee table.

When Xu Ruyan saw Xu Lang, she almost stood up, while Xu Xiaomeng, sitting on the outermost edge, quickly shifted her bottom further outward.

Xu Lang unhesitatingly took the center seat on the sofa, operated the radio, and connected to the Blood Mist Mutual Aid Society station.

After the dormitory upgrade, the radio could receive two channels, but Xu Lang hadn't had time to fiddle with it until now.

Lone Wanderer: "Zero Number, you're here."

Xu Lang picked up the voice changer: "Where's Blade Guest?"

There were very few people in the channel today, only Lone Wanderer alone.

Lone Wanderer: "Probably busy with something. I'm on break right now, what about you?"

"Same here." Xu Lang replied.

Both sides fell silent then. After a while, Midnight Fierce Zero came online.

Only these three people in total...

Without Rainy Night Blade to liven things up, the radio station lacked much atmosphere. Midnight Fierce Zero complained about a few trivial matters, while Lone Wanderer didn't speak much.

Just as it seemed about to disband, Xu Lang finally brought up a topic worth discussing.

Zero Number: "Do you know that there can also be people inside the blood mist?"

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Haha, aren't we exactly that? It's just that the dormitory buildings isolate the blood mist."

Zero Number: "What I mean is, people came from within the blood mist and are now living in our dormitory building."

As soon as these words were spoken, the radio station instantly fell silent.

Cao Yaxuan and the others also grew somewhat tense.

Rumors about Luo Lin and her daughter were scarce, but one theory suggested that Luo Lin and her daughter were monsters, specifically ghost-type monsters that extremely resembled humans...

This speculation was quite frightening.

But monsters couldn't become players, so this point didn't quite make sense.

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Haha, you didn't run into the Black Market Merchant, did you?"

Xu Lang knew that if he didn't explain things clearly, this matter would remain unresolved. So he vaguely described the game content and his own role, and recounted the situation with Luo Lin and her daughter.

Lone Wanderer: "They might be survivors." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Midnight Fierce Zero: "What do you mean?"

Lone Wanderer: "The Blood Mist World consists of numerous destroyed worlds, and they are survivors from those destroyed worlds."

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Destroyed worlds?! Are you sure?!"

Lone Wanderer: "The information is for reference only."

Lone Wanderer: "Zero Number, you don't need to worry about them being monsters, but you should still keep an eye on them. Such survivors couldn't have found the dormitory building relying on luck alone—they must have some strength and special characteristics themselves."

Lone Wanderer: "I've heard before about a dormitory building leader who was a survivor. He led the entire building's players to establish themselves in the Blood Mist World, and that dormitory building became mighty and famous, its reputation spreading far and wide!"

Midnight Fierce Zero: "Holy crap, Lone Wanderer, you had such explosive info? Why didn't you say so earlier? Also, are you saying players could potentially be people from other worlds?"

Lone Wanderer: "Heh, the dormitory buildings' sources of personnel have never been limited to one place. Alright, I'm logging off now, goodbye!"

...

Xu Lang smoothed his hair—today he had gained quite a bit of information from the Blood Mist Mutual Aid Society again, broadening his horizons.

This Lone Wanderer probably wasn't ordinary; possibly his Experience was even greater than Rainy Night Blade's.

Xu Ruyan was shocked throughout the entire conversation.

No wonder Xu Lang hadn't asked her for knowledge payment anymore—he actually had such a magical tool.

"Let's stop here for today. Whatever matters there are can wait until tomorrow... It's time to sleep." Xu Lang stood up, his gaze turning toward the Xu sisters.

After her bath, Xu Xiaomeng's skin was so delicate it seemed it would break at a touch, smooth and fair, like a lotus flower emerging from clear water. Her Comfort Level had risen to 88 points.

Meanwhile, Xu Ruyan's Comfort Level remained at 98 points.

An initial Comfort Level of 98 points showed just how much Xu Lang favored Xu Ruyan's type.

Besides her juicer-like figure, the strong impression she initially gave Xu Lang also scored extra points.

When they first met, she was quite arrogant, didn't speak, and acted like an expert.

Hmph!

Tonight, Xu Lang was going to make her talk a lot—the kind where the words just keep pouring out!
