Zhang Chen brought Xu Ruina back to his master bedroom.
This room was a separate suite.
It also contained rooms for different functions, forming an independent living area.
The bathroom was spacious, about a hundred square meters wide, with a square bathtub in the center.
Near the wall, there was a dressing table and a shower.
Opposite was a huge, floor-to-ceiling window.
From here, one could directly see the tranquil surface of the lake.
This scenery is really nice!
It's my first time being able to calm down and truly appreciate the scenery of this world...
As the apocalypse's suppression gradually lifts, I fear such sights will become rare...
Xu Ruina said softly.
Her hands slowly clasped in front of her chest, long claws extending from her sides.
However, Zhang Chen didn't find it terrifying at all; instead, he felt Xu Ruina was somewhat endearing.
The light shone on Xu Ruina from the front, with Zhang Chen standing behind her.
The play of light and shadow perfectly showcased her graceful figure.
I quite like this qipao, but unfortunately, it got stained with a lot of blood during the fight...
Xu Ruina said, lightly swiping her claws in front of her.
The buttons of the qipao instantly all came undone, opening all the way down.
Xu Ruina shook her body.
Her skin, white as mutton-fat jade, emerged from its covering like a peeled banana.
She turned slightly, revealing a glimpse of her ample figure, quite magnificent.
Xu Ruina asked gently:
Can you make another qipao for me?
Of course! Zhang Chen nodded.
Zhang Chen stripped off his own clothes and threw them on the floor.
He collected his and Xu Ruina's clothes into his ring, then created two new outfits and placed them on the hangers.
Xu Ruina walked slowly into the pool, her back to Zhang Chen, submerging herself completely in the water.
After a long while, she surfaced.
She shook her hair, a happy smile on her face.
It's been so long since I bathed, this is truly comfortable...
Zhang Chen sat opposite her, watching quietly, offering no comment.
Undeniably, Xu Ruina's figure was truly exceptional.
Of all the people Zhang Chen had ever seen, whether in terms of proportions, curves, or feminine allure, she was second to none.
Moreover, Xu Ruina herself was beautiful, possessing an intellectual kind of beauty.
The combination of the two made her nothing short of a goddess on earth.
It must be wonderful for Xiaobai to have you by her side!
Xu Ruina said with a smile.
Yes, this little one was originally carefree, her mind occupied only with eating and playing every day.
I envy her myself!
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Can you help me apply some body wash? There are some bloodstains on me, and it's really uncomfortable.
Having enjoyed the water, Xu Ruina slowly walked up to Zhang Chen.
Her figure gradually emerged from the water, like a lotus blooming from the water, finally presenting itself to Zhang Chen completely and without reservation.
Only then did Zhang Chen see clearly that there were several dried bloodstains on her chest, left rib, and thigh. Some belonged to enemies, and some seemed to be her own.
The wounds had all healed, leaving no scars, but the bloodstains were embedded in the skin's texture.
They would be difficult to remove without careful cleaning.
Zhang Chen put some body wash in his hands and slowly applied it to Xu Ruina's skin.
Starting from her shoulders, he slowly applied it to her fair, swan-like neck, then her face, and then continued downwards.
Crossing mountains, traversing plains...
Everywhere his hands touched, he felt a chill.
Zhang Chen paused at her chest, over her heart. There was no heartbeat.
But he could clearly see the energy core below her heart still operating continuously.
She was alive, but alive as an infected.
Xu Ruina was also cooperative, resting her wrists lightly on Zhang Chen's shoulders, making it easier for him to apply the wash evenly.
Your body is so warm...
Xu Ruina whispered into Zhang Chen's ear, leaning close.
Actually... it's you who are too cold!
Zhang Chen said, turning up the water temperature a few degrees. Warm steam slowly rose.
Soon, the entire bathroom was enveloped in a hazy mist.
Zhang Chen applied the body wash two or three times, then meticulously and carefully rinsed her several times until she was completely clean before he stopped.
Hold me!
Xu Ruina took two steps forward and pressed her cold body tightly against Zhang Chen.
He wrapped his arms around Xu Ruina's back, gently caressing her.
She was like a piece of cold, beautiful jade.
You are so warm; this feeling of being embraced is wonderful!
Xu Ruina smiled sweetly and said.
The scent of body wash emanating from Xu Ruina's skin made Zhang Chen feel a little restless.
Alright, thank you. Let's talk business!
Xu Ruina said, leaning back slightly, but without breaking free from Zhang Chen's embrace.
They both entered the pool together, letting the warm water envelop them.
During the time you spent with Xiaobai, did you notice anything unusual?
Xu Ruina suddenly asked.
Anything unusual? No, everything was normal!
Zhang Chen's mind immediately flashed to Xiaobai's berserk state, attacking indiscriminately.
But his expression remained calm.
He feared that if he mentioned it, Xu Ruina might discard Xiaobai.
After all, they had spent so much time together, and Zhang Chen had developed feelings for Xiaobai.
Moreover, apart from occasional fits of madness, she was a good girl.
As long as he had the obedience serum, Xiaobai could remain cute and well-behaved.
That's good. After all, Xiaobai is humanity's hope. Seeing her like this means I can account for myself to my teacher and all of humanity!
Xu Ruina sighed in relief, a great weight lifted from her heart. A relaxed smile finally appeared on her face.
By the way, why do you call Xiaobai humanity's hope?
If Xiaobai is humanity's hope, why are we, the轮回者 (reincarnators), appearing in this world?
Zhang Chen asked curiously.
Why Xiaobai is humanity's hope... the answer to that question is likely not what you want to hear...
Xu Ruina's expression faltered, and her voice lowered.
Nothing could be worse than transmigrating into the apocalypse, so whether it's what I want to hear or not doesn't matter. What matters is that I want to understand the truth of the matter!
Zhang Chen insisted.
Alright, but I'll state beforehand that what I'm about to say represents only my previous views and attitudes.
It does not represent my current personal thoughts and attitudes!
Xu Ruina reiterated.
Okay, go ahead!
Seeing how nervous Xu Ruina was, Zhang Chen also became nervous.
He quickly withdrew his hand from under Xu Ruina's waist.
