Ru Lan and Ling Kai stayed in this house for another month until Yunyu couldn't hold it any longer. He was trying his best to seduce Ling Kai every day, because of Ru Lan's background setting, he wasn't able to directly show his interest to someone or he would get booted out of the world.

[Argh! I give up! Ling Kai is such a pure white lotus! What is he doing anyway, cooking, cleaning the house manually, and washing our shirts. He is like a good housewife!]

[Pupa: Isn't that better? Ling Kai is a lot tamer after he met you, he doesn't go around and kill random people, and he stays in the house with you. I can see this as a peaceful life.]

[Peaceful, but plain! He doesn't even touch me!]

Yunyu checked himself in the mirror, he did crunches every day to make his butt perkier, but it didn't seem to work.

[Pupa: You really don't know about exercise at all, don't you?]

[Hehe… I mean, thanks to Ru Lan's natural hot body.]

Though Yunyu was fitness blind, Ru Lan's natural body exuded the hotness aura that would bend straight men until their backs were broken. But the only man in this house other than him was Ling Kai.

And that guy would hide whenever Ru Lan spared him a glance after a workout.

[Besides, his Fatemeter is already 90%! He is definitely into my body.]

[Pupa: I have to note that the Breakmeter is stuck at 40%. It's already one month after you unlocked the hidden plot, but no progress except another 5%.]

Yunyu was aggrieved, he wanted to just push Ling Kai on the bed, then go wild until he couldn't move his body anymore. He would do it cowboy style with him on top of Ling Kai, riding his manhood.

[Pupa: You never see another man's dic* in real life, and also not in here. What gives you the audacity to think about riding Ling Kai in that style like a professional?]

[… A man can dream…]

Ling Kai was busy cooking dinner, while Yunyu was busy arguing with the system at the dining table. He was busy arguing whether they should bring this topic up with Ling Kai. But Yunyu didn't want to get stuck in this house forever with a white lotus who didn't even know the act of intimacy.

They were like an old married couple, but too old to even share a kiss.

[I want to return back to Duran City!]

[Pupa: Don't be unreasonable, those people abandoned you and Bi He didn't even try to protect you when you are unconscious.]

[I know you keep saying that, but I still can't believe you. They seem to genuinely admire me, and Bi He is definitely in love with me. At least, I have to confront them to see their reactions.]

[Pupa: It will not be pretty.]

[Come on, don't you think there is a chance that we can accelerate the Breakmeter if we return to Duran City with Ling Kai?]

[Pupa: If you can handle it well, then yes. But I don't think that is the real reason. Tell me the real reason first.]

[… I JUST WANT TO GET LAID!]

[Pupa: inherently expected from a pervert.]

[Pupa: But you are right, we might be able to accelerate the progress in Duran City if you can handle it well.]

Ling Kai finished cooking a mushroom stew for both of them. He put the mushroom stew at the dining table and smiled at Ru Lan, "Eat it while it's hot."

They ate dinner in silence, it had been like this for a month. Maybe if not because of Ling Kai's lack of physical intimacy, Yunyu might have thought that they were really an old married couple.

Ru Lan cleared his throat after dinner and opened the conversation, "Kai, I want to return."

Ling Kai paused for a moment. He put down his chopstick and stared at Yunyu with a pained expression, he bit his lips, then opened his mouth, trying to utter something. But he couldn't. He kept doing this for a few minutes until he lowered his head.

Ling Kai clenched his fist under the table, his hoarse voice came out, "Do you want to leave me? What if I tell you that your people are not as welcoming as you think…"

"I know," Ru Lan replied short.

"And you still want to return to Duran City? Do we lack anything in this house? I will try to get it for you…"

"It's not about that," Ru Lan sighed, "I'm just worried about my people."

Pupa already told Yunyu about Bi He and Duran City's citizens who sold him out to Ling Kai to save themselves. But, he still couldn't believe it personally, and he should also follow Ru Lan's setting. Ru Lan's dedication for Duran City and his people was amazing, he would still forgive people who tried to betray him, in fact, he forgave Bi He when Bi He destroyed the city. Because he thought that Ling Kai was the one who influenced Bi He.

But Ling Kai was now a changed man, well, at least in front of Ru Lan. Yunyu doubt that Ling Kai would want to take over Bi He's body now. But the Breakmeter was stuck at 40%.

Yunyu was confused. There must be something that he missed.

Ling Kai felt that his heart had been crushed for the second time. After all he did to make Ru Lan stay, but in the end, Ru Lan would still leave him.

A dark thought swirled in Ling Kai's head, he could just create a prison for Ru Lan. He could trap Ru Lan in this house forever with him. He wanted Ru Lan to forget about Bi He and Duran City.

But Ling Kai couldn't bear to see pain in Ru Lan's face. He didn't want to hurt him.

He had lost to Bi He, and this was the end for his happy life.

"If you say so…" Ling Kai said, "I will prepare a vehicle for you, I will make sure that you will be safe until you return to Duran City safely."

Ling Kai raised his head and smiled bitterly at Ru Lan, "Thank you for staying with me, I really hope that you can visit me again someday."

Ru Lan frowned, his eyebrows scrunched as if he just heard something silly from Ling Kai, "What are you talking about? Of course, you are coming with me."

[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 50%.]

***

Ling Kai was nervous as started the car engine. He turned his head to the passenger seat beside him. Ru Lan was sitting straight with eyes on the road. Truthfully, Ling Kai could just use his sonic speed and reached Duran City in a day. But Ru Lan refused, saying that it was better to show up there in a more human manner.

Thus, Ling Kai started the car and drove through the zombie infested road. The zombies were giving their way for the zombie king and they were in for a smooth trip.

Ling Kai anxiously glanced at Ru Lan, then he asked, "Do you think it's okay for me to come with you? I am the one who caused the havoc in Duran City, and I'm also the one who took you from them."

"Did you kill anyone in Duran City when I was unconscious?"

"No."

"Did you ravage the city?"

"No, but—"

"Then you are one of my people, you have been asking the same question ten times. Stop it," Ru Lan said, slightly annoyed.

Ling Kai's smile bloomed on his face. He was very happy when Ru Lan asked him to come with him to Duran City. He didn't know what would happen there, but if someone wanted to hurt Ru Lan, then he would obliterate that person to dust.

'Ru Lan…'
