Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1267 - 601: Pouring Out True Feelings

"Little brother, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Yang Mei looked at Liang Yuan nervously.

Though she expected Liang Yuan to be surprised and delighted, there seemed to be other emotions mixed in, which made her somewhat flustered.

Liang Yuan looked up at Yang Mei, saw her apprehensive expression, and couldn’t help but shake his head.

He gently embraced her, her soft body in his arms like holding a rare treasure, fearing to hold her too tightly as he once did.

He softly said, "Sister Mei, I am very happy and excited."

"I never imagined that before the flood, a person who couldn’t even find a partner could not only meet you but also meet such wonderful girls as Ding Yan, Song Wen, and Dong Yan."

"You know, before the flood, girls like this wouldn’t even glance at me in life."

"I still remember once riding the same elevator as you. That day, I had just returned from work, covered in the smell of sweat, but the fragrance on you smelled so good."

"But at that time, your dress made me feel inferior, and I didn’t even dare to get too close to you."

"I could only sneak a peek at you via the reflection in the elevator with my peripheral vision."

"I never thought one day you’d have a child for me."

Liang Yuan softly expressed his feelings by her ear.

Before the flood, he really was just an ordinary, couldn’t be more ordinary, office worker.

Exploited by his boss, forced to drink by clients, dumped by his girlfriend.

His situation might have been the state of most young people back then.

But after a flood, the world completely changed.

The emergence of superpowers gave countless young people like Liang Yuan opportunities.

Among these people, some lost their direction in power, becoming what they once despised.

Others used their superpowers to create a paradise, protecting a group of kind-hearted people.

Looking at the beauty in his arms, feelings surged in Liang Yuan’s heart.

"From today on, I must work harder in cultivation, strive to improve my abilities, and provide a carefree environment for you and our child."

Yang Mei was instantly moved to tears.

Words like this, she had heard countless times in her life.

With her appearance and figure, many men chased after her.

Many men have promised her in the past.

Yet she knew Liang Yuan was different from those men.

He genuinely would give his all to fulfill promises made to her.

"Little brother..."

She hugged Liang Yuan tightly, burying her pretty face in his broad chest, choking out, "Sister is so happy and lucky to meet you."

"Sister used to think her life would just go on like that."

"Get by with a man with no feelings."

"Sister never thought she’d have a life like today."

"The heavens punished humanity with the flood, but for me, it was a chance to start anew."

The two poured out their hearts to each other, sharing warmth.

Just snuggling on the couch, feeling each other’s temperature and heartbeats.

Outside, snow fell, and cold air howled.

Inside, warm mutated sunflowers shone on them, as warm as spring.

"Do you prefer boys or girls?"

Yang Mei suddenly raised her head, asking Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment, then smiled, "For my child, gender doesn’t matter, I love them all."

"What’s important is that their mother is you."

Yang Mei was instantly coaxed into smiling, but she wouldn’t let it go, saying, "I think boys are still better. A boy like you is sure to succeed."

"It wouldn’t be good if he’s like me."

"What’s wrong with being like you? You’re so beautiful with such a good figure, unlike me being a rough man who can’t even cook well."

"Cooking isn’t something to brag about. I’m weak, timid, lack courage."

"If he’s like me, he’ll be bullied in the future," Yang Mei said softly.

Liang Yuan lightly tapped her on the butt, saying, "Who would dare bully my child?"

Yang Mei burst into laughter, her face full of happiness.

"Am I considered an older mother? Now that there’s no medical condition, NT, and Tang, we can’t do them anymore."

Thinking about the child made Yang Mei anxious again, worried.

Liang Yuan understood her cautiousness as a first-time mother with her first child.

He comforted her, "Don’t worry, even if we don’t have those medical technologies now, didn’t you forget that we’re still superpower users?"

"Isn’t spiritual power more useful than technologies like ultrasound?"

"But what you said reminded me to talk with Dr. Yang and his wife. Spiritual power can penetrate objects and see organs inside the human body. It might be possible to create medical equipment similar to ultrasounds and B-scans."

Yang Mei felt relieved after hearing this.

Liang Yuan added, "And anyway, you’re only 28, how could you be considered an older mother?"

"Before the flood, how many people found partners only at thirty."

"Besides, young people then didn’t exercise, sat for long periods, stayed up late, and had poor physical fitness, leading to many problems and difficulty conceiving."

"But it’s different now, in the post-apocalyptic world with floods, everyone awakened to superpowers, significantly enhancing physical fitness, so the baby will surely be healthy."

"Think about our parents’ generation, they were still working in the fields at seven or eight months pregnant."

"There weren’t various check-ups yet they were fine, weren’t they?"

"Don’t be too anxious, everything’s covered with me."

Liang Yuan continuously comforted Yang Mei, easing her emotions.

At the same time, he understood that pregnant women needed companionship most during this time.

Fortunately, the affairs of the Three Great Sects and the military are almost all handled now.

Next, they just need Zhao Kai, Li Qinghua, and the others to take over these subsequent tasks.

He finally has time to accompany the beauty by his side.

Moreover, his strength has already reached the middle tier of the genetic map, and now the gene recombination progress needs to be pushed from 5% continuously, to further enhance his abilities.

This process is a meticulous effort, gene recombination is the gradual restructuring of all genes within the body.

Liang Yuan’s current progress is only at 5%, the higher the progress, the higher the completion of the genetic map, naturally increasing combat power.

During this process, all attributes will also rapidly improve with the deepening degree of gene recombination.

It is unknown what level the Four Major Attributes will reach when the gene recombination degree hits 100%.

Liang Yuan chatted with her for quite a while, considering her pregnancy, he led her to the bedroom to sleep early.

Pregnant women should not stay up late, it’s bad for their health.

If it were before, no matter what Yang Mei said, she would wait for Ding Yan and the others to return together, have something to eat before sleeping.

But now it’s no longer feasible, all needs are centered around the pregnant woman.

Liang Yuan carefully helped her back to the room.

Yang Mei laughed and cried, saying: "Don’t be like this, I’ve just conceived, not that weak."

Liang Yuan solemnly replied: "That won’t do, we must be careful, I heard that the first three months are the most crucial."

Yang Mei, having never been pregnant, was also a bit nervous upon hearing that, it’s wise to be cautious.

Liang Yuan accompanied her to rest on the bed for a while, only leaving silently using Earth Escape after she fell asleep.

He avoided even using the door, fearing that opening it would make a noise and wake Yang Mei.

However, in her sleep, Yang Mei seemed to perceive all of this, her mouth curled up unwittingly, face full of happiness.

Upon returning to the bedroom, Liang Yuan went to the kitchen to reheat the meal that Yang Mei had prepared.

Right after the food was reheated, Ding Yan, Song Wen, and Dong Yan arrived together.

"Brother Liang, it smells so good, why are you cooking today?" Song Wen asked in surprise as she changed her shoes upon entering and saw Liang Yuan busy in the kitchen.

Ding Yan also took off her boots, curiously asking: "How do you have time to cook? Where’s Yang Mei?"

Dong Yan kicked off her shoes, ran into the kitchen barefoot, sniffed, and immediately shouted: "I knew it was Sister Mei who cooked by just smelling this."

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, pinching her nose, joked: "You’re the cleverest."

"Yang Mei is resting, she made the meal, I just reheated it, everyone should eat something, aren’t you tired after a full day of meeting?"

Ding Yan came over, washed her hands, and offered to help serve the meal, saying: "Not tired."

Song Wen also joined, washing hands and smiling happily: "Not only not tired, everyone seemed so energized today, it’s unbelievable."

"The threat from the Three Great Sects has been looming over everyone, finally having a home, nobody wants it destroyed by them."

"Now that the Three Great Sects are gone, Yangshan no longer faces threats, and so many new favorable policies implemented, so no one’s feeling tired."

Dong Yan carried a dish outside, chiming in: "Brother Liang, does the Miyuan Rainforest of the Water God Sect really look like a tropical rainforest now that it’s stopped snowing inside?"

Song Wen also expressed curiosity: "Yeah, how can it not snow? Even the Mirage Snake Space over there had snow, and yet this Floating Island manages to fend off such harsh weather?"

Liang Yuan chuckled and explained: "The Miyuan Rainforest’s situation is somewhat unique, it comes with a protective barrier, and it’s a water attribute barrier, seemingly having insulating effects."

"It cycles internally with its own ecosystem, once you reach 100 points, I’ll take you there to see."

The three girls were suddenly highly interested, asking Liang Yuan about the details of the battle against the Three Great Sects while having dinner.

During the meeting, Liang Yuan didn’t disclose these details, now being home, naturally, they wanted to thoroughly inquire.

Only Ding Yan, while eating, glanced unconsciously at Yang Mei’s bedroom.

She seemed impulsive and combative but was very perceptive.

Previously, Yang Mei never went to bed early, even if sleeping, hearing them return, she would join in for a chat.

But today, things were different, Yang Mei didn’t come out to chat with everyone.

Finally, she couldn’t hold back any longer, kicked Liang Yuan lightly under the table.

Liang Yuan looked at her and asked: "What’s up?"

"Is there something between you and Sister Mei?"

Liang Yuan promptly understood what she meant, couldn’t help but grin: "Nothing’s wrong, it’s not what you think."

Song Wen then also realized: "Brother Liang, Sister Mei usually eats with us, is she unwell today?"

Dong Yan also glanced over.

Liang Yuan smiled and said: "Yang Mei is pregnant."

These simple words instantly widened the eyes of the girls present!

"What!"

"Sister Mei is pregnant?"

"Ah?"

Dong Yan and Song Wen got so startled, they dropped their bowls.

Ding Yan was equally shocked, never expecting this.

The three girls showed varied expressions, Song Wen was joyful with a hint of envy.

Dong Yan being the youngest, her immediate thought was, will I be a younger stepmom in the future?

Ding Yan’s eyes showed a trace of envy and loneliness, as a woman her age was not much younger than Yang Mei.

From the depths of her heart, she’s always yearned for a family, for children.

Her strong and competitive nature was merely a protective facade.
